Hi there,
Just installed JW Player Plugin for WordPress and have a couple of suggestions.
1. In the settings screen it would be nice to have tabs for the various screens instead of having to click next to progress to the next screen.
2. The WordPress Insert Media pop-up screen is not quite wide enough for the JW menu if you have other plugins that have tabs. For example I have the NextGen image gallery tab on the insert media pop-up screen and because of the limited width nearly all tabs get pushed into the black 'Add Media' banner making them invisible.
Just a couple of observations :)
Thanks for the plugin :)

Good resources for library website design. I recently spoke to a local library co-op about designing user-centered library websites. In this post I thought I'd share the list of resources I compiled as part of that presentation. Below are some sites, blogs, books, articles, and tools that I have found useful in my own web design projects. They are organized into four areas: Love letters to libraries: Robin Ince, Meg Rosoff and other famous names check in. In 1971 Marguerite Hart, a children's librarian in the city of Troy, Michigan, asked public figures to write to local children about why their new library was important.
She wrote wide and dreamed big, sending requests all over the world to artists, writers, politicians – even pontiffs – and what came back was a veritable who's-who in history: Dr Seuss, Pope Paul VI, Neil Armstrong, Kingsley Amis and Isaac Asimov responded, to name but a few of the 97. 45 years later and half a world away, the letters were noticed by the Arts Council England this year, who contacted the Troy Public Library about doing something similar to mark National Libraries Day in the UK. "They were thrilled to bits" according to Brian Ashley, director of libraries at ACE, which immediately contacted writers and personalities for their library memories. "They may look different now to then, and there may be different numbers of them going forward, but the idea and importance of libraries remains the same."

5 Ways to Become a 'Full Stack' Librarian. In a previous article I proposed that college and university educators and administrators should think of their academic library as an educational technology.
But this change in perception can only happen if academic librarians agree and take ownership of the services and resources they provide. They must become "full-stack" librarians to advance the library's value to students, faculty and administrators. In engineering terms, full-stack describes someone who is familiar with each layer of software technology. A full-stack librarian is a generalist who uses the full range of resources available to position the library as an educational technology and elevates instructional design and technology skills. Libraries matter: 15 fantastic library infographics. Library infographics presented below clearly show that being a librarian today is not about surviving any longer.

Ten Types of Tech Tools That Every Teacher (and Librarian) Needs. Technology integration can be a daunting task, especially with the myriad of tools out there to choose from.
Where do you begin? That's what today's post is all about. Mulling it over, I have come up with ten types of tools that should serve as the foundation of a student-centered approach to technology integration. I chose the tools based on their ubiquity, multi-functionality, and potential for use across the curriculum. The Cloud Catalog: One Catalog to Serve Them All. As a whole, public libraries are the single largest supplier of books in the U.S.
No single other outlet can compete with public libraries—not Amazon, not Barnes & Noble, not Walmart or Costco, not all your local bookstores. But you'd never know it to look at us on the web. Type Kate Atkinson's recent book A God in Ruins (or virtually any other title you want) into Google, for example, and records for Amazon and Barnes & Noble pop right up within the first page of results, along with hits on the author's and publisher's websites and dozens of reviews.
But although most public libraries carry this book, no library site is anywhere to be found among the first pages of results. For the average reader looking for this title, the library never even shows up as an option, much less the best option, for getting the book at the best price. Our websites don't measure up very well. So how do institutions that supply nearly half of all the books read in the U.S. end up so invisible on the web?
An A-Maze-ing Library Experience. Sometimes you get a big idea.
And sometimes you get to make that idea a reality. This year my department was given funds to create big family programming, and I got the chance to build my idea: a giant cardboard maze that would encourage caregiver-child interaction and create a memorable library experience for customers of all ages. Why Americans love their public libraries. Indisputable fact — Americans love their public libraries.
Evidence to support this statement abounds.

The Rise and Fall of Text on the Web.
In the summer of 2014, I became interested in studying if it was more than my mere impression that websites were beginning to present less text to end-users. Websites such as Buzzfeed.com were gaining enormous popularity and using a communicative style that had more in common with children's books (large graphics and short segments of text) than with the traditional newspaper column. I wondered if I could measure this change in any systematic way? In this blog post, I will outline a research study I recently published in the open-access journal Information Research that ask the following questions: is the use of text on the World Wide Web declining? If so, when did it start declining, and by how much has it declined? Awful Library Books.
I work at a public library. Visiting libraries is the most popular activity in the UK (spread these resources far and wide!) I'm always struck by just how many people use libraries in the UK. It's a mind-bogglingly huge amount.

Skip to comments.Will Boehner break the Hastert Rule today? The Hastert Rule explained
Posted on 10/16/2013 9:40:56 AM PDT by jimbo123
In a 2003 speech, then Speaker Denny Hastert (R-Ill.) discussed his House management guidelines that became known as The Hastert Rule. The rule calls for a leader not to send legislation to the House floor for a vote unless it has the support of the majority of the majority. On Wednesday, with just hours left to raise the debt ceiling or risk default, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio)who has been holding fast to the Hastert Rulehas to decide whether to break it.
(Excerpt) Read more at voices.suntimes.com ...
No longer matters.
Why waste the bandwidth?
Just be glad we're armed, 'cuz we're gonna need it when the crash comes.
Is there really any doubt?
Without thinking twice!
Whatever it takes to kick the can, again. This who thing is just a temporary deal; it will play out again. Theater of the absurd.
I'll bet he couldn't wait to fold like a cheap suit! Whiny-boy.
The GOP is useless since it has so few conservatives. Most of this party is made up of liberals who we call RINOs. America is finished since their is no real opposition to the communists takeover. Bonehead has no guts and that is expected since the party is finished.
The Great American Spendathon continues. And yes, a crash is coming.
Why do you say it no longer matters? Has Boehner broken the Hastert Rule yet?
If he is going to do it, then the republican caucus can hold a meeting before the vote comes to the floor, and they can vote in a new Speaker. I think Boehner knows this.
So this just may be Chicago Sun Times joining with all the other bought and paid for liberal media engaging in wishful thinking.
He will break it.
There should be a walk out of conservatives and a call for a vote of no confidence (I don't know if they can do that in the House, if it is a parliamentary thing or what.)
I would rather see Pelosi as Speaker. At least we would know where we stand.
[Not really. I am using an extreme point to make my argument.]
Banking is a funny thing when it comes to the nation's debt. When a pause happens to consider getting the fiscal house in order, there is the downgrade threat, but keep spending like drunken sailors (no offense to drunken sailors) and everything is ok. I just don't understand it.
I'm not saying we give up. We still vote on principle. We still campaign for "right".... in hopes of delaying what we know is the inevitable.
As I've said many times before, the Hastert rule was designed to silence conservatives. When Hastert was speaker, the majority of the majority were still old-guard, establishment repulicans. So they were able to say "sorry little Jimmy Conservative, your proposal doesn't have majority support so we're not going to take that up"
But in 2006, some thirty republicans either retired or were defeated, and another thirty in 2008. Then these were replaced with conservatives in 2010.
So the majority of the majority is now conservative, so naturally the Hastert rule has been out the window for the goal is always to thwart conservatives and conservatism.
I had a little bit of money in a Detroit Municipal Bond. It was insured. Like 5k worth. Broker calls a few months back and says "you need to get out of this". I said... "its insured". He says "yeah... well the company that has it insured has a lower credit rating than the city of Detroit".
How does that happen? We have to understand the game, the reality, where this country is going... and formulate a plant to be successful in the new paradigm.
Of course he will. Hastert Rule is forever dead. As is the GOP.
You're not the only one, sweetheart. I'm incredibly mad. The times of inaction have grown long in the tooth. It's time for men of action to stand up and do something. This is tyranny on a scale America's never seen on her own shores.
Our House of Representatives, the truest form of representation in our government, is about to capitulate to the rule of a minority of tyrants over a faux issue of America's creditworthiness. This is an issue of lies and calculated fakery to make an issue seem worse than it really is.
What I'd like to see is a reasoned response from the Tea Party Republicans on the national media with a solid plan of action that is commonsense; as Dave Ramsey says (paraphrasing), "Advice your grandmother would give you."
Explain that the "debt limit" is exactly that, it's a limit. It means the government can't borrow any more money. It means we have to live within our means. It means the credit cards are shut off, and we're denied funds from our own internal bank. I REALLY do NOT see a problem with this.
The United States' GDP is sufficient to pay our debts and keep the government running on a "required services" basis.
People going to lose their cushy government jobs? You betcha!
Entitlements going to be shut off or pared back? Oh yeah!
Market going to tank? Like a lead balloon! BUT, the nice this about this is that we'll finally understand where the REAL value of our market sits. The government is freaking out about the debt limit because it means they can't artificially inflate the markets. It means that markets are going to collapse like a balloon without lips attached to the spigot. Personally, I see that as a good thing, and I have a 401(k) that will be slammed.
This sets up the Republicans, more specifically conservatives, to actually sit down with the American people, their constituents, and force everyone to have an open, honest discussion about our country and her finances. It's going to be a discussion like a mother and father have with their preadolescent child to tell them that the family pet was hit by a car and is not going to survive. There will be crying as we watch it slip away. It will be difficult, but in the end, ya know what? There's a framework in place, a set of ideas ensconced in our Constitution that could mean a resurgence of America as more than just a political entity but a powerhouse.
This conversation needs to happen, and I applaud the Tea Party caucus for holding a knife to the throat of the Marxists in Washington. It's time for the REAL adults to talk. Grandma's on life support, and she won't survive without it. There's no sense in keeping her alive forever, there's no quality of life that way. Let her slip away, and build our lives together in the image our Founders left us.
Here's the thing. If everything that happens is predictable, the feds can pretty much control the economy enough to avoid a collapse and chaos. With the housing market, the unintended event was a lot of people decided it wasn't worth paying a mortgage and a lot of would-be buyers decided it was a dumb investment for them.
Something that can't be absorbed and planned for will cause the collapse. If the feds keep maniupulating the US to poverty, it might be that if Obamacare takes hold it'll drain local economies because there will be so little expendable income left. Or it might be something like radiation from Japan in the ocean, or who knows what.
The best way for freepers to prepare now is to be real aware of what's going on. Most freepers are ready if we see it coming ahead of most of the population.
" if Obamacare takes hold it'll drain local economies because there will be so little expendable income left."
This is a very real possibility...imho
Voting 3rd party is STUPID beyond belief in the face of a Bolshevik administration.
Would Hastert have broken the Hastert Rule today? Probably.
Buyers/Investors who didn't think buying property after the housing market crashed know nothing about investing. Just my humble opinion.
When it all comes crashing down, those who caused it must not be allowed to flee the country.
Didn't he already break it once?
How can you vote 3rd party when the two current parties are one in the same?
There is no opposition party. It would be nice if we had one, but the Republican party ain't it.
I live in KY, I have voted for that sleaze bag McConnell since 1984. No more. Sure a democrat might win that seat and the difference would be???????????????????????????????
When I inform people (liberals) that failure to raise the debt ceiling will NOT cause the US to default, they just say "you obviously don't understand gov't economics". To which I reply "if by gov't economics, you mean that gov't needs to borrow more money in order to make the minimum required payments on our existing debts, you're right, I don't understand that." To which they triumphantly laugh and smile thinking that they've actually won that argument.
Yes it will drain everything, but who's name is on it: OBAMA. Who pushed this thru and made us choke it down: OBAMA. The only name of any of this is: OBAMA....I hope people that voted for him are soooo proud, they should be out in the streets yelling and screaming how great he is!!! (Gag, Gag, Gag) Just remember: His name is on this joke of a government!
Well of course Tammy Faye will break the Hastert rule. Otherwise he won't be able to capitulate to the Dems. He just wants to take his whoopin and head for happy hour.
