Main Cast: Jongman Kim, Monica Cho, Annie Tai
Synopsis: M's not your typical guy and his relationship is in trouble. Can reinventing oneself reignite the fire when the passion starts to flame out? Two worlds collide in this short tale of unrequited love.
Director's Statement: "Write and film what's familiar to you and what you know," sound advice given to me many moons ago as a young film student. Unfortunately it didn't resonate with me at the time. Years later I've learned that all life experiences, both the good and not so good, are plenty enough source material to just go out there and be creative, oh and having a firm deadline helps too. This little short is about a situation people may find themselves in or hopefully can all relate to.
Director's bio: Having graduated from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, I've spent the majority of my working life in education as a teacher. I grew up on Super 8 and 16mm film as a kid so I have a nostalgic take on things as can be seen in my earlier student work. When not teaching I keep myself busy doing freelance production work and writing short scripts, but fully remain on course (albeit a long one) to realizing my potential as an independent filmmaker.

Council in talks over Westbury developer bonds
CLARE County Council will have to complete negotiations with insurers who hold developer bonds before the sprawling Westbury estate can be taken in charge by the local authority.
Residents of one of the largest estates on the outskirts of the city had been calling for the council to take responsibility for infrastructure and maintenance long before its two primary developers - McInerney Homes and Chieftain Construction - went out of business.
Taking Westbury in charge remains "a priority" for the council, director of service Ger Dollard has now written to councillors. "We have had meetings at senior level with Allianz representatives and our respective technical personnel have been engaging on issues for the last number of months. We are trying to maximise the call on the bond but, as you can appreciate, the other side, quite understandably, would be trying to minimise the claim. Having said that, I am quite satisfied that Allianz have approached the task in a bona fide way and progress is being made," Mr Dollard stated.
He added that the insurers themselves had already spent over €100,000 on works in Westbury, promising to brief councillors once matters are finalised.
Cllr Cathal Crowe and Cllr Pascal Fitzgerald have this week issued a joint statement welcoming the update.
Problems at Westbury have been aggravated, they say, by the introduction of the household charge, which will be of no benefit to Westbury residents as long as the council cannot carry out improvements.
"If every household complied with the charge, the council would collect €100,000. Regrettably, this money has not and is not being spent on any service provision within Westbury at this time because the council has no jurisdiction over the estate. This has led many residents to question why they should even have to pay the charge in the first instance," the councillors said. "We fully understand their frustrations and hope that the fast-tracking of the taking in charge process will help to allay some concerns."

A theoretical picture of the behavior of such a light field on propagation is shown below:
Therefore the manner of the said propagation is (as it were) by real Production or Creation; so that as
"The next step is to make these cells suitable for long-term propagation, so they can be used in therapies."
The mode of its propagation is explained by the remark of Procopius himself, that it always spread from the sea-coast to the inland country: the most sequestered islands and mountains were successively visited; the places which had escaped the fury of its first passage were alone exposed to the contagion of the ensuing year.
Christianity throughout the whole course of its progress from the Redeemer's personal teaching to the present has been characterized by this method of propagation, that is, it has been spread abroad by preaching.

They will reverently call their propagation and plagues "acts of God."
It instantly struck me that this individual would be an excellent assistant in the work which had brought me to Seville, namely the propagation of the eternal Gospel; and accordingly after some more conversation, in which he exhibited considerable learning, I explained myself to him.
Letters of George Borrow to the British and Foreign Bible Society
This feature also allows the definition and propagation of higher-order laser modes.
They through Ishmael, the Jews through Isaac, and more immediately through Israel the son of Isaac, were two diverging branches of one original stem; and to both was pronounced a corresponding doom -- a sentence which argued in both a principle of duration and self-propagation, that is memorable in any race.
The reason why such a sphere of the marriage of good and truth proceeds from the Lord, is, because it is also the sphere of propagation, that is, of prolification and fructification; and this sphere is the same with the divine providence relating to the preservation of the universe by successive generations.

The viewer who reviewed the quality of his dvd of "The Storm" must have gotten a defective disc. My newly bought "The Storm" was excellent quality; everything clear as a bell and the color was fine. The photography in this science thriller was fine, also and that is amazing since most scenes were miserable to photograph and light. A lot of work & special effects & high speed chases very well done; and most of it in rainy bad weather; almost impossible to photograph and light scenes well under those conditions and the photographers did that admirably. The duration of the story's storm reminds one to be grateful for being warm and dry while the characters, each one, has a terrible crisis during this mayhem created by a mad businessman/scientist (the usual suspects), with the standard American Army officer and other traitors raising hell for everyone in the background. I advise viewers to get out the popcorn, draw up a blankie and a snack, this is a long one. As it draws to a close, I'll give you 3 guesses as to what the End is like. I agree with other viewers that the ladies acting as reporter and as detective were fine and beautiful as well. It is apparent everyone in the cast tried her/his very best to interpret this "nature can kill you" story.

"The story line was ok, but the camera work and lighting was terrible. Most of the time you couldn't make out what was happening as it was so dark. And, the camera work was like a seven year old using a video camera - fast shots, in and out, back and forth, etc. Very hard on the eyes to watch."
Zero Stars...Literally!

"There are some key elements to identifying a poorly made film be it television or large screen: Over use of very close up shots, jerky camera activity, silly post production effects, third rate actors, amature CGI, childish script, obvious amature production quality (lighting, fake rain machines, etc), poor acting, action sequences that bore the viewer, incorherent story lines, rediculous computer input sceens with people typing 300 words per minute while talking. There are more I am sure. Most movies contain some of these elements but in general large screen movies contain fewer then small screen do just as a function of budget differences. I tend to give small screen productions a little slack due to these budget challenges.
That said, The Storm is a rare production. It embraces, with reckless abandon, all of the elements of a substandard movie. Bordering on parody, The Storm is almost unwatchable. Treat Williams, the poor man's Harrison Ford, leads a pedestrian cast of hacks sleep walking through this long, very long, two hour (with ads) movie. Needless to say you sould skip this one. If you do rent or, dare I say, buy this POS, I can promise you will want to keep the remote handy for fast forwarding whole segments."
The Storm (2009 miniseries)
G. D. Williams | USA | 08/05/2009
(2 out of 5 stars)
"As Survival Sundays continues on NBC, we have another Sunday dinner-The Storm.
Is this as good as grandma's fried chicken and dumplings? Definitely not your grandma's Sunday cooking.
This miniseries has a great cast. The story concept is intriguing. The news reports are realistic. The music by Jonathan Snipes is catchy.
Treat Williams as Terrell, the evil industrialist, and David James Elliott as General Braxton, the Machiavellian Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, bring the world to the edge of oblivion. Terrell was about as evil as they come. Why Braxton trusted this guy is known only to the writers.
Luke Perry as Stilman gave a little mystery to this network offering. Teri Polo as Danni Nelson and John Larroquette as Bud of CNS, Cable News Service, represented the brave journalists who pursued the truth at great personal cost.
James Van Der Beek as Karl Hafner played the brilliant young scientist who was a pawn in a chess game which would end in catastrophe. There were times when he was more a marathon runner as he raced to save himself from various dangers.
The best performance in this miniseries was Marisol Nichols as Detective Devon Williams. There were times when she was contemplating a crime scene where the music took on a mystical, dreamy tone. It reminded me of a Jesse Stone movie. It would be a great teaming of these two actors and their characters.
Back to The Storm: The most underrated group was Terrell's henchmen. They gave the old Men in Black persona a definite sinister twist.
The storyline about the EMTs seemed like a tossed in pilot for a Fall Series. If so, I would find these EMT worth a watch in their series.
The moral of the story is not to mess with nature, especially the weather. Noble intentions do not always result in positive outcomes. Technology is a tool which has no moral compass, except in the hands of those who use it.
If you ever have a movie night of disaster films, then toss this one into the lineup. With plenty of junk food and some good friends, you might have a great time watching these films.

Who will be your Valentine?
Love comes in many forms.
During the lead up to Valentines day, the media tend to depict a certain type of monogamous love. However, I feel love is more like ice cream with many different flavours, intensities and they're all pretty damn good.
Around February 14th, many single people are often left feeling inadequate and missing out due to the commercialism around them. It's almost as if you are incomplete or you feel there's something wrong with you, because all your mates are shacked up. I am sure some couples just go out together for the sake of it!
If you are single like me, how about doing something special for yourself of that day? And then treat yourself every other day of the year too.
There are nowadays more singles than ever before, with many of them striving to get into a relationship. But just how do you live a happy life as a single person?
Many people wait until they are in a relationship to live the kind of life they want and to engage in the activities they love to do.
There are also many people who are in relationships, yet due to either lack of intimacy or communication, even sometimes both they feel single and alone.
Some people throw themselves in their business and forgo pleasure time and self-care, it is as if their accomplishments are the only things that matter.
Don't forget that your life is happening RIGHT NOW and today is not a dress rehearsal for the day you are happier.
If you've been contemplating seeing an escort but put the idea on the back burner, ask yourself why. Why don't you deserve the intimacy that you crave as soon as possible? Why not live out your fantasies – what are you waiting for?
Tomorrow is promised to nobody and only we are responsible for our own happiness.
If you have never had an escort dinner date before, you'll be likely to find that taking a lovely lady out and conversing over dinner may also improve your communication & relationship skills as well as give you a boost of confidence you wouldn't find anywhere else.
Happy Valentines day for the 14th to those I've had the pleasure of meeting and those whom I am yet to be pleasing.
Kisses, Aaliyah xo

There is no such thing as a 10 sec patch review. Especially when it comes to patches that touch generic portions of the kernel.

MIPS Tech and linux-mips are separate entities.

Does it really matter? The developers that are active on the linux-mips mailing list are not associated with MIPS Tech nor are they paid for their effort by you or the company you work for. If you want a "product", you can buy a commercial embedded Linux distro from someone. If you want to contribute to the linux mips development effort, then learn to live with any frustrations associated with working in community trees. And next time, just ask nicely what you can do to get some feedback on your patches. Pete

COLLEGE & RESEARCH LIBRARIES PRE-PRINT. Cost Differentials between E-Books and Print in Academic Libraries
- Anastasia Young

1 Cost Differentials between E-Books and Print in Academic Libraries Timothy P. Bailey Systems Librarian Auburn University at Montgomery P.O. Box Montgomery, AL Amanda L. Scott Cataloging Librarian Auburn University at Montgomery P.O. Box Montgomery, AL Rickey D. Best Collection Development Librarian Auburn University at Montgomery P.O. Box Montgomery, AL Accepted: October 17, 2013 Anticipated Publication Date: January 1, 2015 Manuscript#: crl13-542
2 Abstract Academic libraries continue to face funding pressures compounded by the need to provide students with access to electronic resources, both in journal and book formats. With space constraints and the need to repurpose library space to other purposes, libraries must carefully examine the move to e only formats for books to determine if the format makes reasonable economic sense. A survey conducted at Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM) has confirmed for academic libraries the work of Gray and Copeland on e books being more expensive than print for public libraries. For AUM, the mean cost for e books are significantly higher than for the print counterpart of those titles. The cost differentials between the two formats show e books as being consistently higher than print in initial price. This consistency holds true across all LC classifications, regardless of whether or not the title is published by a university press or a commercial press. NOTE: The authors wish to express their appreciation to Samantha McNeilly of the AUM Library for her careful review and comments upon an earlier draft of this work.
3 Introduction Cost Differentials between E-Books and Print in Academic Libraries Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM) is a regional, doctoral level V institution as defined by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. The institution has a student enrollment of approximately 5,000 undergraduate and graduate students and offers 34 undergraduate and 25 graduate degree programs. Due to space constraints the continued growth of the AUM library s collections has been challenged. In an attempt to address this challenge, the library is considering altering the book selection process to favor e-books over print. The library has a history of utilizing e-books, having subscribed to all of the netlibrary collections (now EBSCO e-books), and the ACLS Humanities collections. The library has also recently licensed access to Springer e-books collections. These collections were purchased or licensed as a group of titles and did not require individual selection for titles. Library emphasis has been to rely upon the e-book version of specific titles and to avoid duplicating those in print. In order to address the need for monographs while at the same time limiting the requirement for increased storage space, in 2012 the AUM library began considering a patron-driven acquisitions process. Prior to considering implementing such a scheme, the library analyzed processing costs associated with book acquisitions ($ spent on cataloging salaries & supplies in 2012 / # of books cataloged in 2012). These costs were then compared to maintenance costs for e- book collections that the library subscribed to (# e-titles / maintenance cost). In determining maintenance costs, because the library has participated in varied approaches (outright purchase and annual subscriptions), it was determined that the best approach would be to calculate for annual maintenance expenditures. To do this, the netlibrary collections that the library subscribed to were discounted from the equation as the collections were purchased with permanent access and no annual access fees. This required the library to pay retail plus 55% of the price to ensure ongoing access.
4 In processing costs, the library spent $13.29 per print volume in 2012, and had a maintenance cost of $19.56 (84,700 e-book titles / $4,309 in maintenance fees). This equates to a 30% differential between the processing costs for print and the maintenance costs for e-books. Before committing to a patron driven process, the library undertook an examination of book order requests from the faculty, who are the primary requestors on campus. First, the librarians sought to determine if requested titles were available electronically or were only in print. The principal objective in doing this was to determine if there is a sufficient cost-differential between e- books and print. If so, it was felt that this would justify the change in selection practices to a predominant reliance upon e-books. Literature Review E-books are changing publishing rapidly. According to a report in The Huffington Post, four out of five publishers now produce e-books. A majority of publishers produce 50% of their titles as e-books, and nearly one-half produce 75% of their titles as e-books. Thirty-six percent of publishers derive greater than 10% of their revenue from e-books, a percentage which has doubled in the course of one year. Eighty percent of publishers still produce print versions of their e-titles, and 65% of the publishers have converted less than 50% of their backlist inventory into an e-book format. i Peggy Johnson identifies the term e-books as referring to digital objects specifically designed to be accessible online and read on either a handheld device or a personal computer. ii Among the advantages to e-books are the ability to provide researchers access to the information at the time and location of their research need. iii Electronic books have become a significant part of a publisher s revenue stream. Nancy K. Herther reports that during the first ten months of 2011, mass market book sales were down 33%, while e-book sales increased by more than 131%. The ease with which e-books have become available has significantly enhanced revenues for publishers. E-books now make up some 20% of publisher revenue, as opposed to slightly less than 1% in iv Noted by publishing consultant Joe Esposito, With e-books, everything is being driven by the consumer market and the academic [market] has followed after that. v Esposito
5 contends the lag is due to the fact that Many scholarly books have complex page makeup charts, graphs, pictures that present special challenges not handled well by current [e-publishing] standards. vi Libraries transition to e-books Libraries began the transition to electronic books through the purchase of groups of materials (NetLibrary, Safari, Ebrary, etc.) making available significant collections of materials in an efficient manner. William H. Walters, in an article appearing in portal: Libraries and the Academy, reports many of the issues facing libraries with regards to the purchase or licensing of e-book content. Hindrances to wide spread acceptance of e-books have been publication delays between the print and the electronic versions, restrictive license terms (digital rights management), limitations of the use of e- books for interlibrary loan, the absence of standardized e-book formats and access mechanisms, and, the lack of transparency in publishers pricing and licensing models. vii Walters observes that e-book selection, acquisition, and management can be complex and expensive. He continues to say that selection, acquisition and management become cost-effective only when libraries can take advantage of economies of scale- only when the necessary procedures can be made routine and delegated to support staff. viii At the Triangle Research Libraries Network s Beyond Print Summit, it was noted that the loss of the discount available on print titles with electronic resources is a significant stumbling block for libraries, particularly for consortial purchases. The lack of ability for the sharing of e-book purchases was also cited as an obstacle by the implementation team of the Orbis Cascade alliance in the implementation of a consortial DDA program. Flexibility in profiling and the short-term loan model used for triggering purchases provided support for the consortial approach however, the pricing for the e-books remains an issue. ix Using data from Yankee Book Peddler s online ordering and selection database (GOBI), the typical cost of a single user e-book is the equivalent to the list price of
6 the hardcover version, and for multiple simultaneous users, the cost becomes 150% of the hardcover list price. x Ronald Jantz identifies a number of issues and notes the five requirements for e- books to adequately be able to support academic library collections. The requirements include 1. [Providing] more content suitable for research libraries including text books and scholarly monographs; 2. [Continuing] to improve the quality of e-book displays; 3. [Reducing] the weight of e-books [readers] to a manageable two pounds or less; 4. [Supporting] open standards so that books from many different sources (publishers) can be downloaded to a variety of readers; and 5. [Improving] the process of finding and downloading e-books. xi Requirements 1 and 3 have been well addressed. Requirement 2 has improved, and, with the implementation of Patron Driven Acquisitions, requirement 5, the locating e-books can be solved by loading bibliographic records from the publisher(s) site into a library s ILS. Patrons are allowed to order the title via an algorithm based on a variety of factors including number of times viewed, length of time viewed, and the number of pages printed or downloaded or another agreed upon standard. Additionally, traditional library book vendors such as Yankee Book Peddler, Baker & Taylor, and Coutts offer options for discovering e-titles and placing orders. All that remains is the development and agreement of open standards for e-books. In addressing the issue of technology and digital information, David Lewis identifies a strategy for libraries to transition to the digital environment. The elements of this strategy include a total migration from print to electronic collections to leverage the efficiencies this migration makes possible and the storage and retrieval of printed materials as needed. xii Lewis s approach reflects changes already taking place in libraries based upon changing institutional needs specifically for space, and in recognition of the influence electronic access has had on space needs related to library journal collections. Print journal collections at smaller institutions (such as AUM) have been reduced or discarded and the libraries rely on being able to maintain electronic access. This change over is now beginning to bring in to question the legacy book collections.
7 Lewis proposes that the library develop relationships with other campus departments to become a primary informal learning space on campus supporting teaching, research and learning by implanting the tools, resources and expertise made available through the library across multiple platforms. Finally, Lewis also proposes that the library migrate from the role of purchaser of materials to that of curator of content. xiii Many of these proposals have been accomplished. Libraries are partnering with other groups on campus in sharing space for learning commons, with associated tutorial assistance; additionally, libraries have repositioned the information tools, such as single search discovery systems and electronic reserves to allow these functions to be embedded into course management systems. As has been accomplished with electronic journals, libraries are serving as curators for content, rather than as permanent repositories for the information. With platform fees and user options for electronic books, the library has moved from a purchase, own and store system to one akin to renting content. Even e-books purchased outright have some form of maintenance cost associated with them at this point in time. Pricing models: lease or purchase? The decisions regarding purchase or subscription of individual titles (or collections) have impacts for library budgets, as does access options. As reported in EduServ s 2010 e-book survey, outright purchase is the preferred option for acquisition, as opposed to subscription. The reasons given are a) outright purchase is easier to budget for; b) the purchase is easier to administer than is a subscription; and c) clarity of ownership. xiv Only when titles are rapidly outdated was a preference for subscription given. According to Walters, e-books are always leased, not purchased. He describes three kinds of leases available to libraries: a) Annual access: the library pays a fee for one year s access, with the option to renew the lease; b) Perpetual access: the library pays a one-time fee, often times along with an annual platform or access fee; and c) Pay per use: the library is charged based upon the number of uses (titles viewed, pages viewed, etc.), and the library may also pay an annual platform fee. xv In addition, there is the consideration of whether access is provided simultaneously for multiple users, or is single use only.
8 In fact, the publishers of academic content have experimented with a variety of pricing models, some of which do allow libraries to own content outright. Among these pricing models is the purchase of a collection of e-book titles at a substantial discount. The university owns these titles, but is faced with adding individual titles when a superseding edition is published. In some cases, discounts are offered for collections but individual title pricing for e-books is significantly higher than print. Subscription models also exist, whereby libraries can subscribe to collections and, when a title is updated, receive the new content as part of their subscription price. Models of this practice appear with the vendors Ebrary (Academic Complete), Safari Tech Books Collection, and Credo Reference. xvi Peter Brantley proposes a subscription service to a comprehensive set of books for a modest fee, usually near $10 a month for a base level membership, with streaming access to titles that are convertible to downloadable e-book sales. xvii Brantley states For publishers, offering a subscription alternative would have another outcome: it would make library borrowing unattractive. [a subscription service] would nudge one of the most attractive segments of the library population into a consumer market: heavy readers, who heretofore have accepted the hassles of library borrowing rather than face the monetary burden of having to purchase individual titles. xviii The impact of Brantley s argument would be a return to the subscription library concept. Patron Driven Acquisitions The time has come to consider the necessity of purchasing e-books at the individual title level. In doing this, libraries are moving towards Patron (or Demand) Driven Acquisitions, reducing if not eliminating the traditional library approach of acquiring materials just in case to allowing the user to purchase materials directly just in time. xix PDA or DDA is an implicit recognition that librarians have not been as successful in selecting for patron needs as we would like to believe according to countless studies showing how the majority of circulations are covered by a small coterie of titles. After implementing a PDA program at California State University-Fullerton, Breitbach and Lambert found that the average purchase price for e-book titles purchased through the program was $ However, titles were not purchased
9 until after three short term loans occurred, and which incurred additional fees, driving the average cost per title up to $ In 2008, the average price for an academic book was $68.01, only slightly lower than the purchase price from the PDA program under discussion. It is not known whether or not e-book prices offered through PDA programs are the same as they would be if they were purchased through a traditional print process. xx Schroeder documents multiple versions of PDA for print items (based on faculty requests, a suggestion program, ILL, and holds) and a PDA program for e- books. She found that average cost for an e-book ordered through the PDA program was $76.78, and the average cost for an e-book ordered through traditional collection development was $103.65, a difference of 35%. The mean cost for print books purchased through the various print PDA programs ranged from $15.43 to $41.10, and the mean for print books ordered through traditional collection development was $ The average prices of e-books were considerably higher than those for print books in this study. This could be due to the electronic versions being more expensive than their print equivalents, or due to the titles selected as e-books being more expensive in any format. It is likely that most, if not all, of the purchases documented in this study are for unique titles, so it is impossible to draw any definitive conclusions regarding the price differential between e-books and their print equivalents. Schroeder s data also demonstrates that the average cost per use for titles ordered through some form of PDA were similar to or less expensive than those ordered through traditional methods. xxi Robert Johnson reports on pricing models for e-books purchased through PDA programs derived from his library s investigation prior to implementing a PDA program. According to him, there are different models, starting with charging hardcover price for a single-user purchase. E-books can also be more expensive than print: at least 1.5 times the hardcover price for a single user. Purchasing a license for multiple simultaneous users is even more expensive. xxii Johnson s findings may show the most modest price increase for e-books considered en masse, depending on how many titles prices were equal to hardcover prices. Nevertheless, it is clear that Johnson s examination found at least a slight price increase for e-books, similar to the results reported by Lippincott, et al., earlier in this review.
10 Prices for titles purchased through PDA programs may or may not map directly onto those for titles purchased through a traditional acquisitions model. It is not known whether or not libraries are charged more, less, or the same when they acquire titles via PDA programs, although Schroeder s findings do cause one to wonder if PDA titles are more expensive. Price comparison Publishers continue to be in a state of flux with regard to the pricing of e-books. In her column Foreword: The E-book Pricing Conundrum, Rachel Deahl notes that publishers make as much money on Kindle editions as print editions since Amazon pays the same discount to publishers for e-books that it does for print. Kindle editions of best sellers, Deahl asserts, are sold at a 60% discount by Amazon versus a 45% discount on print. xxiii While this may be true for best sellers, it does not apply for the typical content purchased by academic libraries. As noted earlier, Lippincott, et al., report that e-book prices typically start at the hardcover full price for a single user in Yankee Book Peddler s GOBI database. xxiv Gray and Copeland s per title cost and use comparison of e-book and print titles in a public library setting confirms that the average price per purchased print titles is less ($15.68) than that of purchased e-books ($17.80). xxv Possibly the greatest limitation of the study is that Public libraries are expected to fill user demands for popular materials, and multiple copies are purchased or leased. xxvi Indeed, multiple copies of certain works have come to be expected; it is anticipated that public library patrons will expect e-books to become one in many formats available. Thus, content is generally duplicated in the popular press titles surveyed. Circulation of e-books was found to be similar to that of comparable to that of printed works, despite a larger number of printed copies being available; this may be due to the ease with which e-books are circulated. Gray and Copeland find that purchased print books have a per circulation cost of $1.11 versus $1.15 for e-books and $1.17 per title when purchased and leased works costs are combined. While the study was limited in scope, due to factors such as time period covered, differing circulation periods for the different formats, hidden costs such as processing fees and storage costs, and collection scope and guidelines, it demonstrates that printed works are still of lesser cost than electronic titles. xxvii
11 This is consistent with the findings of the AUM Library when including processing and maintenance costs as a part of the consideration. The Douglas County Libraries (Colorado) also find e-books to be more expensive than print. In their monthly list of selected price comparisons, frequently drawn from bestseller lists, they show that when a title is available to libraries in both electronic and print formats, the e-book is usually more expensive. (They also demonstrate that libraries often pay higher prices for e-books than consumers.) xxviii Though these reports are not a formal study, they do support Copeland and Gray s findings. Walters notes that individually acquired e-books cost more than printed books and that Few scholarly e-books sell for less than the hardcover list price. xxix This is confirmed by Yankee Book Peddler s Annual Book Price Update (September 2012) which shows an average print price of $78.23 (paper preferred), $83.59 (cloth preferred), while the average price of an e-book was $95.14, an increase of 21.6%. xxx The publication of monographs in varying formats led us to review pricing differentials between print and e-book publications for university presses and for commercial publishers. Oxford University Press (OUP) debuted its platform for electronic monographs in 2003, the first university press to do so. It also attempted to implement a shared digital platform for smaller university presses with the same academic mission as itself. xxxi More on price comparison: should electronic be cheaper than print? Through focus group interviews with academic librarians, Armstrong and Lonsdale learn that librarians are concerned with the prices of e-books. Librarians suspect that e-books are less expensive to produce than print books, yet find that e- books carry a premium price, and possibly include annual charges of some sort. E-books often carry the extra price of printing before patrons use a section of the book, a cost that is either passed on to the patron or that added to what the institution is already paying to purchase or lease the book in the first place. xxxii While many believe that e-books should be cheaper than print, there are a number of factors which influence ultimate pricing. While vendors such as
12 Amazon offer low prices for e-books to gain market share for their e-reader platform (Kindle), production costs such as editing and formatting are the same for the book, regardless of whether it is printed or published digitally. Additionally, e- books have unique costs such as online hosting, server and network maintenance, reformatting for multiple formats, customer service, and technical support. Publishers must also continue to pay editors and pre-press costs, as cited by Walters, are the same for both print and e-formats ($8 to $11 per page). Author royalties (between 10 and 15% of net sales revenues) also need to be taken into consideration. xxxiii As Kelly Lynch reports, a review of pricing options for e-books is currently underway. At the Frankfurt Book Fair the standard price for an e-book is cited currently at $9.99 (note: this is in part because of Amazon s pricing model, but is true generally for mass market and not academic titles). The e-book price is generally 25% below the paperback price, and far less than the hardcover price. Under consideration at the Frankfurt Book Fair is whether or not the $9.99 price is always an appropriate price. Among the elements affecting pricing are that production costs for e-books are less than print, but other factors influence ultimate pricing as well. xxxiv In a session discussion at Frankfurt, Richard Charkin articulated the position that e-books are distinct products and not necessarily of lesser value ergo, the price of an e-book should be constantly adjusted during the book s life cycle in order to generate maximum profit, as Lynch says regarding Mohammed and Eglen s position. xxxv In short, publishers will see and be able to adjust pricing based upon demand for a title. Demand will also have a significant impact on back list titles. While the economic issues the publishers face are real, libraries also face those same issues. An examination of the data developed by the AUM library indicates that pricing differentials between e-books and print for academic titles are substantial. AUM Library Survey Data To determine cost effectiveness for the purchase of books, the AUM library examined book order requests submitted by the faculty for the fall 2012 semester. A total of 462 requests were examined, with each request representing a unique
13 title. Within the AUM library s profile with Baker & Taylor, paperback is identified as the preferred format for print materials. New title announcement slips are received and routed to the faculty if a paperback issue of the work has been published, the slip received is for paperback. The titles requested by the faculty were then examined to determine availability of an e-version of the title. Of the unique titles, 57% (264) were also available in an electronic format. Pricing was compared between the print version and the e- version, and mean pricing was determined. This was done for books that were university press titles as well as those that were commercial press. To determine price differentials, Baker & Taylor s Title Source 3 product was used. This product was chosen because it contained information on e-books available through Ebsco and Ebrary, two other acquisition vendors. Title Source 3 is a free, searchable database of bibliographic acquisitions information for U.S. publications, available from Baker & Taylor. Among the information contained in Title Source 3 is ordering information, including pricing and discounting. Since the completion of the analysis, Title Source 3 has been upgraded into the product Title Source 360. In determining price differentials, titles that were examined included both print and electronic format. Retail pricing was used as the basis for comparison, as some titles are not discounted. The analysis was based upon single-user only pricing. This data was used to be consistent with current library policy which, due to space constraints, prohibits the purchase of multiple print copies. Order requests were broken down by LC classification and pricing for print and e-book formats were determined. As one would expect, requests for titles from the faculty mostly align with the LC classes of the subjects being taught by the faculty member. The notable distinction, however, is for faculty in the department of history who, proportionately, order more titles from outside of the history classifications (D-F) than do the faculty of other departments. The requests are also linked to the size of the faculty in the various disciplines; with ten faculty members in history and only one in music, it seems logical that the ordering preference would be more heavily weighted towards history than music (as was the case, with 121 history related titles requested versus 5 music titles). Differentials
14 were noted where one format was different in price than the other. Table one provides the mean pricing for print, electronic, and price differentials for the entire requests broken out by LC classification. In those instances where a price differential represents a negative number, the actual cost of the e-title was cheaper than that of the print. Insert Table 1 Mean Prices and Price Differential by LC Class and Format For the total number of requests, the print titles had a mean price of $53.50 while the electronic equivalents had a mean price of $ The price differentials between e-books and print titles came to $19.17, with e-books being generally more expensive. Of the 264 e-book titles, in only 44 instances was the e- book price less than the print cost. In these cases, the discounts ranged from.01 to $ The mean discount was $10.28 for the 44 titles. As a percentage, there exists a 35.11% price differential for e-books over print for all books, both university press and non-university press. This is consistent with the data provided by Lippincott, et al., for the Triangle Research Library Network s summit. The results were also examined to determine if there was a difference in pricing between print and electronic titles for university press publications and nonuniversity press titles. The non-university press titles included commercial publishers, professional associations, and university departmental publications not published by a university press. Table two provides an examination of university press publications in print and electronic formats. Insert Table 2 Mean Prices and Price Differentials by LC Class and Format for University Press Publications With the exception of religion and philosophy (BJ-BT) and the social sciences (H-HV), e-books were more expensive than their print counterpart. Only in the H- HV s were e-books cheaper, on average, with an overall price differential of -$0.32
15 per title. The greatest price differentials were found in the HQ (family, women and marriage) and HV classifications (social pathology, criminology) with HQ s having price differentials for e-books of -$2.00, -$ and -$170.00, for an average price differential of -$ The HV s had price differentials of -$11.80 for the e-books in this classification. For university press titles, there exists a 45.11% price differential for e-books over print. The data was examined to determine if a price difference existed between print and e-books for non-university press titles. As indicated in table three, only six LC classifications had no or slightly negative price differentials between print and e-books. Of these classes (M Music, G-Geography/Anthropology, and T-Z, which includes Technology, Home Economics, Military Administration, and Library Science), only music had a negative price differential of -$0.01. The remainder was neutral in terms of differentials. The average price differential for non-university press titles was $25.76, compared to an average price differential for university press publications of $ As a percentage, e-books from nonuniversity press titles were 43.61% more expensive than were the print version. Insert Table 3 Mean Prices and Price Differentials by LC Class and Format for Non-University Press Publications Average prices for print books were cheaper for university press publications, averaging $41.96 versus $59.07 for non-university press publications. E-book prices were cheaper for university press titles as well, averaging $60.89 in comparison with $84.83 for non-university press titles. This suggests that university presses are subsidized to some degree by their home institution. As identified by the Association of American University Presses, university presses focus upon a mission to publish works of scholarly, intellectual, or creative merit, often for a small audience of specialists or a regional community of interest. xxxvi University presses support the publication of scholarly works that a commercial, for-profit press would often not publish. Because the university and non-university press averages were computed by using equally-weighted means (also known as arithmetic means), weighted means were also computed for the titles. This was done to compensate for the differing
16 number of titles for each classification range, so that classes with many books carry more weight in the final averages than classes with few books. The print, e- book, and differential averages for each LC Classification were weighted by the number of books in each class. Table five shows the weighted means in comparison with the print and e-book arithmetic means for university and nonuniversity press publications. Insert Table 4 Weighted Mean Price Differentials As a final measure of analysis, an examination was undertaken to compare average prices and price differentials between print and e-books in the LC classifications for the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. As Table four indicates, the humanities are the least expensive in terms of mean cost per print title, but have an average e-book cost slightly higher than the social sciences. As one would expect, the sciences are the most expensive in terms of average cost, both for print and for electronic books. Survey Analysis Insert Table 5 Mean Prices and Price Differentials by Classification Following an examination of the book order requests by the Auburn University at Montgomery faculty, the data appear to support Gray and Copeland s assertion that print books are cheaper than e-books, not only for public libraries but also for academic libraries. The AUM data indicate the following: First, that the publication of e-book versions being published nearly simultaneously with the print editions has significantly increased. The Baker & Taylor Title Source 3 software indicated that 57.15% of the 462 titles examined had an e-book counterpart that was available either immediately or within a sixty day period. Long delays in publication of an e-version are no longer the norm.
17 Second, e-books are not uniformly cheaper in terms of initial capital outlay than the print counterpart. The initial outlay for purchasing or licensing access to the electronic version of a book does not address additional costs associated with maintaining access (maintenance costs, equipment costs required to maintain access, etc.). Third, libraries must measure the physical processing as well as storage costs for print against the ongoing maintenance costs for continued access to the electronic versions, and that we must develop a better understanding of the uses being made of e-books. Finally, libraries must be funded adequately to support the convenience costs associated with acquiring and making e-books accessible, with the recognition that e-book costs are generally not one-time outlays of funds, but require on-going maintenance to ensure continued access. Continued research is required to truly understand the value of e-books for our users. While some use studies have been undertaken for e-books, a more thorough study along the lines of that conducted by Allen Kent at the University of Pittsburgh xxxvii would be useful, especially in light of the growing importance of patron-drive acquisition programs. Future Steps Upon the completion of the analysis of the data, the library was informed of a forthcoming budget reduction of 20% in its O&M funding. The forthcoming reduction will impact monographic acquisitions for the next budget year (October 1 September 30). As a result of this, consideration is not being given to moving all book acquisitions to acquiring titles in an electronic format. The financial impact of a) not receiving a discount on e-titles and b) the requirement of additional platform fees and maintenance are problematic. Space considerations remain a part of the considerations for moving more specifically to individual e- title access. However, the library has conducted a vigorous weeding program resulting in the withdrawal of more than 20,000 titles during the past academic year ( ). Faced with the overall budget reductions for the new fiscal year ( ), a determination has been made to delay implementation of a patron driven acquisitions option. A review of finances will be undertaken in spring of
18 2014 to determine if implementation of patron driven acquisitions can be take place during the fiscal year. Consideration is being given to move to individual e- title selection, particularly for courses that are designated for distance learning. Conclusion The continued migration of publishing to electronic format for books holds significant challenges for small to mid-sized academic libraries that are in an unstable and inconsistent economic environment. The movement to a predominantly e-only format for information is increasing the pressures upon academic libraries to be able to provide access to the digital resources, while those resources are in a pricing model reminiscent of the serials pricing models that have bedeviled libraries for decades. The continuing access fees for e-books being applied by many publishers are creating an unstable model for libraries to be able to maintain financial support for, and the failure to discount e-titles are impacting library purchasing power. Given the pressures cited above, PDA seems a reasonable alternative for continuing the development of the library s collections while at the same time providing resources that our users want and are willing to use. This is not to say that librarians should abandon the job of selecting materials librarians select items for the long-term, as opposed in many cases to our users selection of materials to satisfy immediate needs. Recognizing the increased and on-going costs that are associated with e-books will result in significantly decreased purchasing power on the part of the library. If, however, libraries are able to demonstrate an improved return on investment by increased usage of materials, the library will be able to make a stronger case for additional funding to the university administration.

text: Hey. I current carry around an Env Touch as my phone and a ipod touch as my PDA/music/apps/internet(when I have wifi) However a smart phone will make my life a lot easier thanks to my new job. I love the ipod touch. I realize the iphone is a bit bulkier but still it is very sleek when compared to the boxy/bulky droid. Aesthetics aside I notice a few things when playing around with a Verizon store Droid model. 1) Web browsing was atrocious. On my itouch moving around pages is like gliding over air. I just brush and it is perfectly accurate. By comparison the droid laged.. it was delayed enough to make me question why I would drop 200 bucks on this thing. I mean the screen looks nice but the flow of moving around a fully loaded page just felt jittery/laggy... 2) Web browsing, google maps.. ect.. is all missing multitouch zoom? What is this the stone age? Seriously why have a sleek capacitive touch screen and not include this most basic feature.. is there a work around? 3) Can the droid be used to tether my PC to the internet? Either through USB or BlueTooth? 4) Could I use blue tooth to tether my jail broken ipod touch to my droids 3g? 5) Perhaps my biggest concern is this... should I wait? Are better phones close on the horizon? I don't want to impulsively jump into this phone and see verizon get an iphone next month. I especially don't want to be left in the dust if full flash support is coming to new phones anytime soon to allow for megavideo/youtube watching on the go.. ect.. or even an overhauled faster network that I won't be able to take advantage of with a droid. If droid can provide me with a sleek, browser experience without the jittering.. . and especially if it can tether other devices through blue tooth I would probably be interested. My plan doesn't come up for a new phone for 6 months but they are willing to give me the 1 year price on a droid plus rebate so about 260$ for the phone. I figure this is a pretty decent deal. although if someone knows a better one I am all ears. Or maybe I should pressure verizon for a better deal? and I guess lastly... anyone who has had experiance with both iphone/itouch and droid.. could I get a list of pros and cons from your personal experiance? For me personally the itouch/iphone just seems like a sleeker/sexier/quicker product. It is the first phone interface I ever used that didn't have that jittery/slow lagged feeling. I want something that can capture that. Thanks for any help/insight you can provide.

A couple of tips I have utilized over the years to help my kids eat more fruits and vegetables.
1) Take them with you to the grocery store, or market, or farmers market, or wet market, or backyard garden ... and let them help select the produce for the upcoming meals. Teach them your methods for selection; whether that means thumping melons or checking apples for bruises. When they have chosen the fruits and veggies that appeal to them, they are more likely to eat it when they get home. * Case in point; the pint of late season raspberries that my youngest couldn't wait to take to school the next day in her lunch!
This evening, while we prepped, we ate. We ate a bit of everything and all of it was raw. It was a great time spent in the kitchen exploring the taste and texture of our bounty.
Happy Tuesday.

Passion Pit has dominated the music news cycle over the last year. The Massachusetts indie-pop quintet released their second album, Gossamer, in July before launching a barrage of music videos and tour dates to support the effort.
Now, Fuse TV will feature Passion Pit all week as our latest Fuse Favorite! Throughout the week, you'll be able to check out Passion Pit interviews and music videos on the air.
After releasing Gossamer and the below killer video for "Carried Away," Passion Pit embarked on a winter tour with fellow indie superstars Matt and Kim. Gossamer peaked at No. 4 in the Billboard charts, while "Take A Walk" was named one of our best 40 songs of 2012.
Be sure to check out the Fuse Channel Finder so you don't miss any Passion Pit coverage this week!
