Jersey auction, lip sync highlight homecoming
Royalty to be crowned Sept. 18.
Brady Public School students are celebrating homecoming this week with dress-up days and other fun activities.
On Tuesday, students and staff dug out their tie-dyed clothes and beads for hippy day. Wednesday (today) will get a little sticky with duct tape and Thursday is wacky-tacky day.
All of the red and white comes out on Friday for color day.
The public is encouraged to attend a football jersey auction following the junior varsity volleyball quadrangular on Thursday evening.
Volleyball begins at 4:30 p.m. with Brady vs. Maywood followed by Gothenburg resreves vs. Maxwell.
Losers play at 6:30 p.m. and winners face off at 7:30 p.m.
Retired auctioneer Tommy Palmer will take bids on Brady football jerseys following the games in a fundraiser for the Talon Power Booster Club.
Each player's white jersey will be sold to the highest bidder and may be worn on Friday. Funds raised will benefit all Brady school activities.
On Friday, the public is invited to the homecoming pep rally that will include a lip sync contest and speeches from coaches. The event begins at 3:15 p.m. in the gym and will be followed by freshman, junior varsity and varsity volleyball against Callaway.
A tailgate meal served by the booster club starts at 5 p.m. at the school. Hamburgers and hotdogs will be grilled on the east side of the building until 7:30 p.m. when the football game with Callaway kicks off.
Crowning of the annual homecoming royalty is planned at halftime of the football game with the dance after the game until midnight.
For additional information, contact the school at 584-3317.

While libraries are known to be quiet places, Niagara Falls is definitely buzzing with activity as the New York State Library Association's three-day annual conference has returned to The Conference & Event Center Niagara Falls. The event began on Thursday and runs through Saturday. It has brought more than 600 attendees and 90 vendors, and an estimated 800 room nights in downtown Niagara Falls hotels. This equates to $750,000 of economic impact on the Niagara Falls community.
This year's conference centers on providing inspiration to spark the imagination of every type of librarian in New York, while addressing current issues and energizing attendees from the academic, public, school and special libraries to be creative, innovative and imaginative.
This year's keynote speaker was Alice Hoffman, author of "The Third Angel, Practical Magic, Here on Earth" (a 1998 Oprah Book Club selection), "The Green Witch," and "Incantation," which tells the story of the persecution of Jews in medieval Spain. Several of Hoffman's books have been adapted into films, including "Practical Magic" and "Aquamarine."
"We are honored to welcome this lively group of librarians to our facility once again," said Global Spectrum's Ryan Coate, general manager of The Conference & Event Center Niagara Falls and Old Falls Street, USA. "Our downtown area is bustling with activity as our guests enjoy eating at area restaurants and spending time at the state park and other attractions. This no doubt is helps generate a tremendous economic impact as we move into our fall season."
Upcoming conferences booked in Niagara Falls include the New York State Builders Association, the Automobile Recyclers Association of New York, and American Agri-Women.
For more information on The Conference & Event Center Niagara Falls, or to schedule a site visit, call 716-278-2100 or visit www.ccnfny.com.

If you're living with HIV, over 50 years of age and haven't yet started antiretroviral (ARV) therapy, revised guidelines from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services now recommend HIV treatment, regardless of your CD4 cell count. This is just one key consideration in a new section, entitled "HIV and the Older Patient," added to the Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-1-Infected Adults and Adolescents, published March 27, 2012.
"In the United States," the guidelines panelists write, "approximately 30 percent of people currently living with HIV/AIDS are age 50 years or older and trends suggest that the proportion of older persons living with HIV/AIDS will increase steadily. Care of HIV-infected patients increasingly will involve adults 60 to 80 years of age, a population for which data from clinical trials or pharmacokinetic studies are very limited."
Because there are several distinct associations between age and HIV infection, the need for age-specific guidelines becomes abundantly clear.
First, the panelists note, older HIV-infected patients may suffer from aging-related illnesses that can complicate the management of HIV infection. For example, many older people living with HIV take medications to ameliorate discomfort, such as prescription or over-the-counter pain medications or sedatives. With ARVs also being used, the complexity of taking multiple medications and the need for expert guidance is realized—medication errors, poor adherence, additive drug side effects and drug-drug interactions are all risks.
Second, HIV disease may affect the biology of aging. Though it is still unclear if the immune activation associated with HIV actually causes those living with the virus to age faster or to develop a select number of health complications typically seen in older people, there is a need for guidelines that focus on identifying and managing risks of conditions such as heart, liver and kidney disease; cancer; and bone mineral loss in people living with HIV infection.
Third, reduced mucosal tissue and other immunologic defenses—such as those that occurs after menopause—and changes in risk behaviors—such as decreased condom use because pregnancy may no longer be a concern, along with increased use of erectile dysfunction drugs—can potentially lead to an increased risk of acquiring or transmitting the infection.
Finally, because older adults generally are perceived to be at low risk of HIV infection, screening for HIV in this population remains low.
"For these reasons," the panelists state, "HIV infection in many older adults may not be diagnosed until late in the disease process." The new "HIV and the Older Patient" section, they explained, "focuses on HIV diagnosis and treatment considerations in the older HIV-infected patient."
The recommendation that treatment be started by all people living with HIV over 50 years of age, regardless of CD4 cell count, is "moderate," as opposed to "strong," given that it is based primarily on expert opinion and not on the results of clinical trials or long-term cohort studies looking specifically at the effects of ARV therapy on disease outcomes in older patients. Still, the guidelines panelists thought it important to make this specific treatment recommendation "because the risk of non-AIDS related complications may increase and the immunologic response to [ARV therapy]"—such as CD4 cell gains—"may be reduced in older HIV-infected patients."
Another recommendation stresses the need for vigilant monitoring while on ARV therapy. "[ARV therapy]-associated adverse events may occur more frequently in older HIV-infected adults than in younger HIV-infected individuals. Therefore, the bone, kidney, metabolic, cardiovascular, and liver health of older HIV-infected adults should be monitored closely," the guidelines note.
Watching for drug interactions is also vital. "The increased risk of drug-drug interactions between antiretroviral (ARV) drugs and other medications commonly used in older HIV-infected patients should be assessed regularly," the panelists write, "especially when starting or switching ART and concomitant medications."
Another recommendation specifies the need for close communication between patients' various health care providers. The panelists state: "HIV experts and primary care providers should work together to optimize the medical care of older HIV-infected patients with complex comorbidities."
HIV prevention is also essential for older people living with HIV. "Counseling to prevent secondary transmission of HIV remains an important aspect of the care of the older HIV-infected patient," the panelists note.
In their concluding remarks, the guidelines panelists spell out some of the key issues that lay ahead for the aging HIV-positive population. "As HIV-infected adults age, their health problems become increasingly complex, placing additional demands on the health care system," they write. "This adds to the concern that outpatient clinics providing HIV care in the United States share the same financial problems as other chronic disease and primary care clinics and that reimbursement for care is not sufficient to maintain care at a sustainable level. Continued involvement of HIV experts in the care of older HIV-infected patients is warranted. However, given that the current shortage of primary care providers and geriatricians is projected to continue, current HIV providers will need to adapt to the shifting need for expertise in geriatrics through continuing education and ongoing assessment of the evolving health needs of aging HIV-infected patients."

text: I constructed the station from an old cast resin kit of the one at Highland, Illinois, which is outside Chicago. The kit, which I found on eBay, was made by Magnusson Models, though I believe it is now (in 2006) sold under the Scale Structures name. I departed from the instructions in a few ways, using Campbell shingles, for example, instead making my own from the slab of thin cedar that came with the kit. I had shingled roofs that way 20 years ago on my old engine house and decided I liked the Campbell method better. In addition, after following directions and creating the window mullions from the ultra thin strip wood enclosed, I found my that my shaky hands made such a mess of smeared glue on the windows that I started over, found some engine house windows much larger than the opening (so only the mullions showed), and I attached them to plastic glazing with ACC glue and added window shades. I also added a Tichy coalbox, an old Scale Structures bench, and some amazing Preiser figures. Click on images to enlarge them. [GPL].

Create Drupal modules for grabbing content from another server
Presupuesto £250-750 GBP
I'd like to hire a person who is proficient in Drupal programming.
I would like to create affiliate project (in Drupal 7 or 8) which will collect data from another server ([login to view URL] portal), probably by xpath html technology.
So what I expect from you:
1) [login to view URL] allows for affiliates - download stored basic data about any hotel in the world, which contains ID of hotel, name, address, facilities etc. These data are in Excel format, so the first thing will be to record all these data into Drupal site.
You will need to create a couple of entity type like Taxonomy (this category will be followed indentation by [login to view URL] - continents -> countries), and new content type, for example. [login to view URL], which will have in this entity CCK field according to data from [login to view URL], eg. Name, hotel ID, description, photo gallery etc. This new content type should be visible in the list of Drupal content types where I can add my next additional fields manually, for example. My own review (textfield), My own photos (image).
2) Set the modules system which will be responsible for grabbing a new content from [login to view URL] and regularly update already recorded content stored in step 1). Important thing is that what [login to view URL] offers in excel format (step 1) that not contains all the fields that I want to collect. For example there are not fields in default like ratings, reviews from other users etc. This data must be downloaded from the URL of each hotel separately, for example by xpath html technology. List of other fields which I want to grabbed will follow. [login to view URL] unfortunately does not offer a simple XML format, so it will be a setup by grabbing pure html (propably pure hmtl, this will be up to you).
The next thing will be a regular visit to each hotel site by cron (for example. 1x per month) for UPDATE existing information, eg. hotel name if is still valid, new current ratings, reviews, but it is important not affect stored hotel ID or my own custom fields.
3) Set the cron for continuously grabbing without problems plurality of data portions.
Drupal core and modules required for a normal work with text I install myself, I need to just create modules for grabbing and updating of the specified content from Booking.com.
Communicating with me in writing only.

J-school Grads Lands Murray Foundation Scholarship
Elizabeth Manring of Stockton, who graduated from the Missouri School of Journalism, was named a Murray Scholar by the Jim Murray Memorial Foundation in 2009. As a scholar, Manring received a $5,000 scholarship and an expenses-paid trip to La Quinta, Calif., for the annual Murray Scholars Award Dinner.
Manring, who studied newspaper journalism major and was involved in MU's music program, wrote a 1,000-word essay that was named the best entry of this year's competition. Seven college students from 29 participating universities were chosen as recipients of the one-time scholarship, which recognizes outstanding students pursuing careers in journalism, especially sportswriting. Manring is the third Missouri Journalism student to be named a Murray Scholar since the competition began in 1998.
"Liz has one foot in music and one foot in journalism and she makes it work," said Assistant Professor Greg Bowers, sports editor for the Columbia Missourian. "She's a fearless reporter who also knows how to tell a good story. I'm very proud of her."

Many times in the topic or post editor/writer, a post will be submitted and stay on the editor screen. This causes problems, as there's a message that appears: "at least one post has been made since you have entered the editor. You may wish to revise your post in light of this."
However, it still makes the post.
As forum members are still in the editor, they will click the "submit" button again, creating two of the same post.

Editor's Note: Since the original publication of this commentary, the New York Landmarks Conservancy has filed a lawsuit seeking an injunction to bar the removal of the Picasso described below from the Four Seasons restaurant.
I was startled to read in the New York Times about the plan to remove Picasso's large curtain, Le Tricorne (1919), from the landmarked Four Seasons restaurant in the Seagram Building in New York. The reason, according to current owner RFR Holding, is the imminent failure of the travertine-clad wall against which the 19-foot-high curtain, originally painted as a backdrop for a Diaghilev ballet, is mounted. I was aghast—and surprised, as I am very familiar with this wall.
In 2008, my firm was hired as the architect for an ongoing restoration of the Four Seasons, at the recommendation of Phyllis Lambert, architect and daughter of the original client for the Seagram, Samuel Bronfman. Our work began with a thorough evaluation of existing conditions and an inventory of elements in the Philip Johnson-designed restaurant that needed attention. The travertine wall panels in "Picasso Alley," the elegant glassed-in passageway connecting the Grill Room and the Pool Room where the Picasso hangs, were not on the list of problems. Sure, some of the stone has shifted slightly out of alignment, as it has in the Seagram lobby generally (unremarkable after 50 years), but not to a degree that caused alarm.

Worm Regards from Canada Revenue Agency
The other night I was enjoying a pint with friends, including fellow Canadian podcaster, Julien Smith. My iPhone vibrated in my pocket to let me know I had received a new email. The message was sent to my Two Boobs and a Baby Gmail account, which I hadn't used since we stopped producing the show months ago.
The email was sent from Canada Revenue Agency, it was great news! The message was sent to inform me that I was owed $475.50. It was strange because Julien received the same message at the same time. Talk about luck for a couple of Canadian podcasting veterans!
The truth is that Julien and I aren't silly enough to fall for such phishing scams. Unfortunately these shysters still exist because so many people actually do fall for this. In fact Julien has a short interview with one of them on his blog today.
Do yourself a favor and tell your friends not to fall for these emails. Never give your personal information. If the email is signed worm regards, you should probably take that as a sign too.

The iPad has often been touted as the saviour of the publishing industry. And sure, the apps that Wired and Sports Illustrated have put out demonstrate what the magazines of the future might look like - with video, interaction and moving parts - but they're still just magazines, with content chosen by the publishers.
What if there was a magazine that was personal to you, that was customised with your own personal and social interests? Well now there is.
Ladies and gentlemen, we give to you possibly the finest free app in the App Store (and it only launched officially today)....
- Format
- iPad
- Price
- Free
- Where
- iTunes
Flipboard is your personal magazine. Even the front cover is unique for you. Because, as well as gathering news from a number of prominent sources, it also scours your Facebook and Twitter data and presents that info as well.
And we're not talking about pages and pages of your friend's monotonous updates, we're talking about a personalised magazine where the pages are made up of articles, videos and pictures already fetched from you from any links that appear in your social media streams.
And whilst you may still get the occasional bit of rubbish info that your contacts have linked to, you're likely to get some brilliant articles if you follow great minds such as the Pocket-lint team (or other such dignitaries).
Your magazine is presented with headlines, pictures and text, and if you click an article you get it in full screen.
You can even share and reply from within the app (including Facebook thumbs ups) and, as the magazine is always evolving - newer material is always found on the first few pages - so it never gets old.
As well as your social streams you can also choose to view content direct from a number of sources (including the brilliant TED talks), and set up sections in your contents page.
Put quite simply, Flipboard is one of the best iPad apps that has surfaced so far and perfectly demonstrates why the iPad is a game-changing device.
Get it at once. Or never show your face around these parts ever again.
Also, check out the video below which is a pretty interesting interview with Mike McCue, co-founder and CEO of Flipboard.

Mumbai: When it comes to showing films to children, Shah Rukh Khan is a lenient parent and allows his son Aryan and daughter Suhana to watch all kinds of movies. The superstar says that he never makes them "shut their eyes to anything".
Currently basking in the success of "Chennai Express", Shah Rukh said: "I don`t disallow my children to watch any film. They watch everything, but that does not mean that all parents should do that."
"I work in films and I do things in films that might not be right for children to watch, so it is my duty to make sure my children watch all films. I have brought them up in a way where I have never made them shut their eyes to anything," added SRK, who is married to Gauri Khan -- they have three children, including surrogate son AbRam.
Talking about "Chennai Express", he said that his daughter has seen the romantic comedy, which has a good dose of action too.
"My daughter saw it, my son is busy playing video games... She really liked it," he said.
Cinema has been often criticised for propagating bad things and influencing impressionable minds, but Shah Rukh disagrees.
"The access of information now is beyond cinema. If your children become bad, please don`t blame cinema. Cinema is a good place, which you can take advantage of. I don`t think its impact will be bad on children," said the 47-year-old.
At the same time, the star of hits such as "Darr", "Baazigar", "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", "Chak De! India" and "Don", feels that the culture of making film for children should be encouraged in the country.
"I think Indians should make a lot more films for children. It is a big and a good market and there should be a lot from films to learn in a fun way," he said.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — At a memorial service filled with tears, prayers and songs, the Transportation Security Administration officer who was killed by a gunman at Los Angeles International Airport was remembered Tuesday as a devoted public servant who greeted every traveler with a grin and never passed up an opportunity to talk about his children.
Gerardo Hernandez became the first TSA officer killed in the line of duty Nov. 1 when a man authorities say held a grudge against his agency pulled a rifle from a bag and opened fire at the airport's Terminal 3. The man methodically targeted TSA agents, wounding two others and also a school teacher before airport police shot and captured him.
Some 500 people turned out Tuesday to honor Hernandez at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena, including the two agents who were wounded.
The nearly two-hour memorial began with a solemn eulogy offered by the Rev. Paul Griesgraber, who quoted Psalm 23. It was followed by a soulful rendition of "Amazing Grace" that was performed by a chorus of blue-uniformed TSA officials.
As the group sang, some in the audience of law enforcement officers, firefighters, military personnel and others wiped tears from their eyes. Those who attended included U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck, Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca and Mayor Eric Garcetti.
The mayor said Hernandez's upbeat manner "spread the love through every corner of this Earth" as he greeted travelers from all over the world.
He was the perfect person to have around to lighten the mood of travelers and TSA agents during stressful times, several colleagues said.
"His charisma was contagious," recalled fellow TSA Officer Lisandro Jimenez.
Hernandez, who joined the TSA in 2010, was checking passenger IDs and boarding passes when he was shot.
"Every single day, he took pride in the role he played to keep the American people safe," Holder said. "Over the years, the contributions that he and others have made — and the tireless work of TSA employees across the country — have too often been unappreciated, overlooked or even discounted."
As he was working, a gunman walked up, pulled a semi-automatic rifle from a duffel bag and shot him at point-blank range, then shot him again as he lay wounded, authorities have said. Paul Ciancia remains hospitalized but his condition was upgraded Tuesday from critical to fair. He has been charged with crimes that could get him the death penalty.
The 23-year-old unemployed motorcycle mechanic had a handwritten letter stating he made the conscious decision to try to kill multiple TSA officers and "instill fear in your traitorous minds," according to authorities.
Authorities haven't given a motive for the attack, but federal agents are investigating possible ties between Ciancia and a widely circulated conspiracy theory that the U.S. government is preparing to establish a totalitarian state.
Among others at the ceremony were the wounded TSA agents, Tony Grigsby and James Speer, as well as Hernandez's wife, Ana, and the couple's 14-year-old son and 11-year-old daughter.
During a particularly emotional moment, acting Homeland Security Secretary Rand Beers left the podium to kneel before Ana Hernandez and present her with an American flag.
The ceremony concluded with the choir singing "America The Beautiful."
Born in El Salvador, Hernandez moved to the United States when he was 15. Four years later he met his wife, and they married on Valentine's Day in 1998. He was killed a week before his 40th birthday.
"Gerardo's story is like so many others in this city," Garcetti said. "Coming here from another country, another state, another place to call this home."

Police say UNH lecturer killed man, selfBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
February 15. 2014 4:49PM
DURHAM — A University of New Hampshire lecturer who was wanted in connection with a murder in North Carolina apparently committed suicide on Saturday in Florida, according to police in Cary, N.C.
Eric Paul Engel, 43, allegedly shot and killed former family friend Aleksander "Lenny" Wysocki, 74, in Cary on Friday, according to police there.
Cary police believe Engel then killed himself in Dunnellon, Fla., and are awaiting an autopsy to confirm his identity.
"At this point, we feel confident that there is an end to the Wysocki tragedy," said Criminal Investigations Division Capt. Don Hamilton. "As we said earlier, we did not believe this was a random act, and based on evidence we cannot disclose at this point, we are confident Engel is the man who shot Wysocki."
Cary police said Wysocki was killed about 8:30 a.m. Friday; a neighbor heard a gunshot at Wysocki's home. Police found the wounded Wysocki in a side yard and took him to Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., where he was pronounced dead.
Engel was hired as a lecturer in August and taught three courses at UNH, said Erika Mantz, the school's director of communications. She said the school will work over this weekend to find a replacement lecturer for his courses.
Union Leader staff reporter Michael Cousineau contributed to this report.

Environmental cleanup services company Clean Harbors (NYSE:CLH) inked a $1.25 billion deal on Monday to take over Safety-Kleen in an effort to bolster its industrial offerings.
Safety-Kleen is the largest re-refiner and recycler of used oil in North America and is privately owned by a group of investors led by Dallas-based Highland Capital Management.
Continue Reading Below
"Safety-Kleen is a recognized leader in the environmental services field with a corporate heritage that dates back nearly 50 years with a strong service culture," Clean Harbors CEO Alan McKim said in a statement.
Last year Safety-Kleen said it managed hazardous and non-hazardous materials equaling about 680,000 55-gallon drums, generating revenue of $1.3 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $161 million.
Clean Harbors said it anticipates the acquisition immediately adding to its bottom line, excluding acquisition costs. The deal is expected to close by the end of the year.
Clean Harbors said it believes the acquisition will help it penetrate the small quantity waste generator market and also broaden its capabilities to include waste oil. At the same time, Clean Harbors said it envisions "substantial cross-selling opportunities" at Safety-Kleen's more than 200,000 customer locations.
"Safety-Kleen's customers will benefit from access to Clean Harbors' expansive suite of environmental, energy and industrial services," said Safety-Kleen CEO Bob Craycraft.
To pay for the deal, Clean Harbors said it has received a financing commitment from Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS), but the company also said it is considering other options, including a combination of existing cash, debt and equity.
The two companies have a history of deal making, with Clean Harbors buying Safety-Kleen's chemical services business in 2002 for $310 million.
Shares of Clean Harbors were inactive on Monday as U.S. equity markets were closed due to Hurricane Sandy. For the year the company's shares have slumped just over 22%.
Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS) and Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) advised Safety-Kleen on the transaction.

text: I am a practicing pharmacist with an interest in IP law. I would like to learn more about the field though. Perhaps find a firm close to my area that has a focus in IP law. Does anybody know of any decent resources for more information? I have already looked at the IP section of the ABA website and I just didn't find it all that informative. Is there a database or search engine that would be useful in finding lawyers in my area that specialize in IP law? Thank you for any help you may give. I have not yet started law school, and I would like to know a bit more about what I am trying to do before I suck up another 100k in debt.

BILLINGS, Mont. — When people wonder, "How do you get on Antiques Roadshow?", the answer is the same as when someone asks for directions to Carnegie Hall: Practice, practice, practice.
After three decades as an antique dealer, author, editor and appraiser, I was given the opportunity to join the show's 2010 tour for three of the six stops, including Billings, Mont., on June 26. My assignment was the collectibles table. But before I could step out on the biggest stage in the antiques world, I had to go to "TV School."
Arriving in Billings on June 25, my class was scheduled for 4 p.m. I had a chance to view the shattered remains of the Rimrock Auto Center, destroyed by a tornado the previous weekend. Rimrock is located just yards away from the Expo Center in the Billings MetraPark complex. How the Expo Center survived to serve as the event site is one of those freakish tornadic mysteries, and the people of Billings were glad that the devastation didn't prevent Roadshow's visit.
TV School was not as daunting as I had feared, and the information proved invaluable the next day. The group of first-time appraisers gathered on the familiar Roadshow set to be tutored by WGBH directors John Boyle and Bill Francis in the finer points of on-camera conduct: Treat the appraisal as a conversation with the "guest." Don't talk down to them or appear aloof or preachy. Don't use your middle finger to point at an object. (It's amazing how that digit just naturally pops out there … Got a demerit for that one.)
My new best friend, stage manager Ron Milton, put me at ease when signaling off camera how much time was left to talk. I especially enjoyed his "wrap it up" signal: His hand circling calmly at eye level, as though twirling an invisible lariat.
Talking with Roadshow veteran Leslie Keno, he put things into perspective for a nervous first-timer: "Look, it's what we all do every day, just with the lights and cameras." Easy for him to say.
There were plenty of other nuances covered, and we all did mock appraisals to get comfortable (or less terrified) with the process. Then it was time for the 5 p.m. production meeting that occurs every Friday before the event, conducted by the show's executive producer, Marsha Bemko.
The appraisers gathered in the area set aside for the green room, and Bemko went down a list of topics, mostly gleaned from the show's first stop in San Diego on June 12. Her comments to us were delivered as a den mother might address a room full of fidgety Boy and Girl Scouts — affectionately ("we're a family") but direct and to the point: Make sure the object being appraised is in the same position at the end of the piece as it was at the beginning. Watch for the sign to wrap it up and don't blather on. Make sure your fingernails are clean (the camera sees all).
My head was on a pretty active swivel at this point, trying to keep everything in mind for the event barely 14 hours away. But I have to say it was pretty exciting to be sitting there with a group of people that Roadshow viewers have come to regard as a second family. I had known some of the appraisers personally, but most were just friendly, familiar faces to which I had yet to attach names, or whose names I knew but hadn't met yet. I was grateful to be greeted by Rudy Franchi and Mike Gutierrez, and welcomed to the collectibles-table crew.
After the meeting, I set my priorities: Have one (repeat, one) beer in the hotel bar. Return to room and iron shirt. Pick out tie. Arrange for 5:30 wakeup call. Try to sleep. Get up on time. Shower, shave and get dressed. (Suspenders or belt? Wear both to be safe?) Eat breakfast at 6:30. Get on the shuttle bus to arrive at the event by 7:30.
Saturday dawned and my preparations were accomplished in order … Except for breakfast, which I was too nervous to eat. (I went with just the suspenders, by the way.)
The shuttle dropped me at the Expo Center at 7:21 and I walked in wearing my official Roadshow lanyard and ID badge. Making my way to the set, I found the collectibles table. Hmmm … Only three chairs and four appraisers. Was I in the right spot? Yes, I was informed, but because I was the new guy on a collectibles crew that normally numbered three people, I'd have to move over and share a table with Toys.
This resulted in the happiest (at least for me) coincidence of the weekend. I got to sit with Noel Barrett.
You can count on one hand the number of Roadshow appraisers who are instantly and universally recognized by viewers, and Noel is definitely one of them. Burly and jovial, mustached and ponytailed, deep resonant voice, encyclopedic knowledge of early toys. And I was his tablemate! I had met Noel briefly a few years back, and introduced myself, reminding him of our meeting. He greeted me as an old friend might, and I set up my laptop next to his. But there was no time to visit.
With bulging bags and squeaky wagons, eager faces and visions of TV fame, the "guests" had arrived.
If you've never been to a Roadshow stop, it's hard to appreciate what a model of efficiency the operation is, despite its chaotic appearance. After 15 years, the Roadshow crew has it down to a science. Thousands of attendees laden with treasures are funneled into a serpentine holding area before being allowed into the main appraisal setting in small groups. This circular "cocoon" is made up of tall fabric panels around the perimeter, backing the tables lined with dozens of experts. In the center of the circle is the technical heart of the operation: a maze of cameras, sound and lighting equipment swarming with technicians, and the sets where appraisals are shot in rapid sequence throughout the day. When a crewmember calls out, "Cameras moving!" it means one appraisal has wrapped and another is about to start.
As the crowd grew and the objects large and small emerged from their wrappings, it was time to start "pitching." When an appraiser finds what he/she believes is a significant antique or collectible (or a clever fake) worthy of going before the cameras, word is sent to the "pickers." The three pickers who have the final say include the show's executive and coordinating producers.
Pitching is an art I have yet to master. Appraisers have to pitch early and often, because there's only so much time in the day to coordinate all the on-camera time. My first two items pitched were a late-19th-century electric generator and a 1930s vending machine of the kind once found in only the finest bus-stop men's rooms … Neither made the cut.
Then I knocked one out of the park! Then another! Both amazing pieces with fascinating back stories and values in the thousands of dollars. And … I wish I could tell you more, but that would spoil the surprise, now wouldn't it? I'll save that for another time …
Of course, even objects recorded expressly for TV (one of mine was a "webisode") might not make the final cut for the broadcast season, which starts in January 2011 at 8 p.m./7 p.m. Central on PBS. As they say, check your local listings.
After 12 hours at the collectibles table, I was pretty beat. Appraising antiques in any setting is like performance art: You have to be "on" and enthusiastic and pleasant, even when you're handed a dilapidated object that passed it's prime 50 years ago, or something that was made last year and is merely trying to look old. Diplomacy and tact are also requisites.
Though all event tickets have been distributed, here's the remaining schedule: After Miami Beach on July 10, the last three Roadshow stops will be in Biloxi, Miss., on July 24; Des Moines, Iowa, on Aug. 7; and Washington, D.C., on Aug. 21. ?

Preventing duplicate content issues via robots.txt and .htaccess
Rand of SEOmoz.org posted an interesting article on duplicate content issues. He uses the typical blog to show different examples.
In a blog, every post can appear in the home page, pagination, archives, feeds, etc.
Rand suggests the use of the meta robots tag "no-index", or the potentially risky use of cloaking, to redirect the robots to the original source.
Joost the Valk recommends WordPress users change some lines in the source code to address these problems.
There are a few items I would like to add to the problem and to the proposed solution.
As willcritchlow asks, there is also the problem of multiple URLs leading to the same content (ie.: www.site.com, site.com, site.com/index.html, etc.). This can be fixed by using HTTP redirects and by telling Google what is our preferred domain via webmaster central.
Reader roadies, recalls reading about a robots.txt and .htaccess solution somewhere. That gave me the inspiration to write this post.
After carefully reviewing Google's official response to the duplicate content issue, it occurred to me that the problem might not be as bad as we think.
What does Google do about it?
During our crawling and when serving search results, we try hard to index and show pages with distinct information. This filtering means, for instance, that if your site has articles in "regular" and "printer" versions and neither set is blocked in robots.txt or via a noindex meta tag, we'll choose one version to list. In the rare cases in which we perceive that duplicate content may be shown with intent to manipulate our rankings and deceive our users, we'll also make appropriate adjustments in the indexing and ranking of the sites involved. However, we prefer to focus on filtering — rather than ranking adjustments … so in the vast majority of cases, the worst thing that'll befall webmasters is to see the "less desired" version of a page shown in our index.
Basically, Google says that unless we are trying to do something purposely ill intended (like 'borrowing' content from other sites), they will only toss out duplicate pages. They explain that their algorithm automatically detects the 'right' page and uses that to return results.
The problem is that we might not want Google to choose the 'right' page for us. Maybe they are choosing the printer-friendly page and we want them to choose the page that includes our sponsors' ads! That is one of the main reasons, in my opinion, to address the duplicate content issue. Another thing is that those tossed out pages will likely end up in the infamous supplemental index. Nobody wants them there :-).
One important addition to Rand's article is the use of robots.txt to address the issue. One advantage, this has over the use of the meta robots tag "no-index", is in the case of RSS feeds. Web robots index them, they contain duplicate content but the meta tag is intended for HTML/XHTML content and the feeds are XML content.
If you read my post on John Chow's robots.txt file, you probably noticed that some of the changes he did to his file, were precisely to address duplicate content issues.
Now, let me explain how you can address duplicate content via robots.txt.
One of the nice things about Google's bot is that it supports pattern matching. This is not part of the robots exclusion standard. Other web bots probably don't support it.
As I am a little bit lazy, I will use Googlebot for the example as it will require less typing.
User-Agent: Googlebot #Prevents Google's robot from accessing paginated pages
Disallow: /page/* Disallow: /*?* #Some blogs use dynamic URLs for pagination.
#For example: http://www.seomoz.org/blog?show=5
#Prevents Googlebot from accessing the archived posts
Disallow: /2007/05 Disallow: /2007/06 # It is not a good idea to use * here, like /2007/*,
# because that will prevent access to the post as well. ie.:/2007/06/06/advanced-link-cloaking-techniques/
#Prevents Googlebot from accessing the feeds
Disallow: /feed/
To address print-friendly pages duplication, I think the best solution is to use CSS styles.
Now, let's see how you can address the problem of the same content accessible from multiple URLs, by using .htaccess and permanent redirects. This assumes you use Apache and mod_alias. More complex manipulation can be achieved via mod_rewrite.
You just need to create a .htaccess file in your website's root folder with this content:
RedirectPermanent /index.php http://www.site.com/
Or alternatively:
Redirect 301 /index.php http://www.site.com/
Or, in the event that you plan to use regular expressions, try this:
RedirectMatch 301 /[Ii]ndex.php$ http://www.site.com/ # this matches Index.php and index.php
Google allows you to tell them what is your preferred canonical name (ie.:site.com vs www.site.com) via Webmaster Central, so this step is no longer necessary. At least, if your only concern is Google.
To force all access to your site include www in the URL (ie.: http://www.site.com instead of http://site.com). You can use redirection via .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.site.com [NC]
# Redirect http://site.com to http://www.site.com

Work in Progress[edit]
This is all work that has been indexed in WS and requires editing, these are marked because I have started work on them or want to:
This is a general to-do list for things I need to do that don't directly relate to a particular work or involve solving a problem with a work that goes beyond the normal proofreading and layout issues:
Scans to locate for works we have[edit]
- Beowulf
- The Canterbury Tales
- The Pearl (and related works)
- Fanny Hill (text here as well)
- Ecclesiastical history (Socrates)
- The Garden of Proserpine (there's a reference to pdf in the failed FTC discussion) this one may be better
Texts I have Uploaded (or had others upload for me) to Commons for use at enWS[edit]
Some of these are duplicates of above, others have not been indexed, links are to Commons:

- a translation from Latin by John French of the seminal occult work of the Renaissance by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa.
- Fourth Book of Occult Philosophy (London 1655)
- a translation from Latin by Robert Turner of a collection of six books, two of which were ascribed to Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa

Work on getting specific texts[edit]
I'm working with Inductiveload to seek out and upload large numbers of ancient, medieval, and Renaissance texts, some of which are listed here:
Sources and Resources[edit]
Free e-book scans[edit]
- The Getty Research Institute
- The Internet Archive
- Indiana University Digital Library Program
- USDA National Agricultural Library
- British Library not sure if these are actually full text scans - need further investigation
- Univ of Virginia Latin texts and English Translations of Ovid (annotations and commentaries too)
- The Chymistrie of Isaac Newton Project Lots of references and scans, the copyright status of the manuscripts is somewhat unclear, I believe they are PD, but it's a more complicated analysis than one would think due to the publication date (apparently post 2002 - the significant date in the US) and complexity of determining which law controls, US or UK.
- Alexandria (Va.) Library - digitized books
- Forgotten Books These are folio editions of PD books; most have already been googled and may also be at Internet Archive.
- Cornell Library/Worldcat
- Hathi Trust Digital Libary
- example of a work at the Walters need to figure out how these works are indexed.
- Göttinger Digitalisierungszentrum (GDZ) - not quite sure what's available here and how to get it yet.
Needs a bot to effectively scrape but no membership or passwords to access scans:

Pages on WS that I find particularly helpful[edit]
Examples, nice ways to do things, good style, etc.

- The Bell Buoy / The Bell Buoy (comparison) - an example
- Quatrains of Omar Khayyam (tr. Whinfield, 1883) - good custom set up of a side-by-side translation of poetry - Inductiveload's work
- Cinderella, or the Little Glass Slipper - layout of a book where many of the images are displayed, there's a pdf download available, and the page numbers have been set in the transclusion; also the "For other versions, see" is better than {{similar}}
- Hudibras/Part_1/Canto_1
- Index:The Cambridge History of American Literature, v1.djvu
- Cartoon portraits and biographical sketches of men of the day
- Page:Miscellaneous Papers on Mechanical Subjects.djvu/39

Pages on WS that I find particularly unhelpful or problematic[edit]
- Masefield
- - duh - at the time I posted this here the article looked like this, the problem was with the sister link which was just plain dumb, this was an example of a systemic problem with sister links which has been largely - though not entirely - addressed.
- The Wizardry of George H. Earle, Jr. - more duh - same as above, though this one hasn't been edited since January which disproves my belief that a bot had taken care of these sister links. In case someone changes this one by hand, it looked like this on 18 August 2011 when I made this note.
- Wikisource:Sister projects - this is the reason for this section
- Template:Cleaning/Category:Cleaning - do we really need this? See Template:Cleanup/Category:Clean up and also the link in the template to wp:cleanup, really?

The ever-evolving social media world can be tough to keep up with, particularly when it comes to job hunting. There are numerous online platforms with countless tools and applications designed to connect individuals with those with similar interests.
Continue Reading Below
However, many of these platforms and tools tend to be more focused on the "social" aspect of social media. One major exception is LinkedIn, which is often referred to as the professional social network. With more than 120 million users worldwide, LinkedIn certainly seems to have cornered the professional networking market.
Although popular, the average LinkedIn user is in their mid-40s, which has created a perception among many younger professionals and college students that it's not for them. But in these tough times, job seekers—no matter their age—need every edge they can get.
To learn more about why having a LinkedIn profile can benefit the modern job hunt, I spoke with the author of Getting from College to Career, and global spokesperson for LinkedIn, Lindsey Pollak.
Pollak referred to LinkedIn as "an online resume on steroids" and says that unfortunately, there is a "perception among students and young professionals that they can't join LinkedIn until they have a real career."
In order to shatter this myth, Pollak shared five reasons why both aspiring young professionals and seasoned workforce veterans should have a LinkedIn profile. According to Pollak, a LinkedIn profile is a great way to:
1) Manage Your Professional Brand: Your online presence is typically the first impression with a recruiter or business contact. Pollak says "recruiters will Google you," and you need to be in control of what they are going to find. LinkedIn profiles typically rank high in Google searches.
2) Organize Professional Relationships: LinkedIn is a great way to organize and manage professional relationships. Contacts you make during the job hunt and throughout your career may not necessarily make sense as Facebook friends. LinkedIn offers a platform for maintaining your professional network while keeping it separate from your personal life.
3) Gather and Display Recommendations: LinkedIn has a tool for requesting and posting recommendations from other users who have worked with you professionally. This allows you to build your credibility by harnessing the power of third-party endorsements. Pollak points out that requesting a recommendation is also a great excuse for reaching out to former colleagues you may have lost touch with.
4) Become an Expert: The best way to gain credibility in a field is to become a go-to resource. LinkedIn offers a number of tools for helping professionals engage with peers to exchange information and ideas. For example: LinkedIn Groups, LinkedIn Answers, and LinkedIn Today are all great ways to reach out to colleagues and become part of the trending conversations in your field. When it comes to college students and new professionals, Pollak says these tools are "a great way to learn the lingo of your field and become a virtual insider."
5) Attract Recruiters: Recruiters use LinkedIn. The job search isn't always an active process, and hiring managers and recruiters use the tool to find candidates to fill openings. Pollak encourages users to pay attention to key words in their profiles, so be sure to have them peppered throughout the following sections of your LinkedIn profile:
- •Summary
- •Specialties
- •Skills
- •Recommendations
In these challenging times every advantage helps. Whether you are a graduating college student or a transitioning professional, it's never too early or too late to start!

Toronto's "Doc" Halladay Gunned Down By The Red Sox And Paul Byrd's Six-Shooter
Well, Paul Byrd doesn't really have a six-shooter...he only struck out one Toronto batter. But he DID give his team, the Boston Red Sox, six great innings, allowing zero runs and three hits, walking three and whiffing one. The Boston bullpen, still one of the best in the American League made even better with the acquisition of Billy Wagner, took over in the seventh. Manny Delcarmen, Billy Wagner, in his Boston debut and Takashi Saito goose-egged the Jays from there. Indeed, after the Sox scored single runs in each of the first four frames, it was over. Red Sox manager Terry "Tito" Francona had these glowing words for Tim Wakefield's replacement, Mr. Byrd. More on Timmy a bit later...
"A month ago he was throwing BP to his kids," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. "Byrd, he creates his own excitement," Francona said. "He's running around patting everyone on the back, he's yelling at Varitek, he's waving to his wife. He's got all kinds of things going on."
Indeed, Paul made us all happy with his antics Sunday, but when it was time to get down to business, he did just that. Here's the born-again pitcher himself with a few syllables...
"I came in with no expectations other than I was really hoping to give our team six or seven innings, a quality start," Byrd said. "Halladay's one of the top guys in the league. I'm trying to help our bullpen. I'm trying to get my feet wet. I had no expectations."
With a Texas Rangers loss yesterday, the American League wild card lead for Boston is a comfortable (for now) 3 1/2 games. Oh, about Tim Wakefield. His back started to tighten up on him during his very effective last start and he expects to get a cortisone shot today. We just have to hope we'll see him before the postseason. Get well, Timmah.
As for the Red Sox, they travel into a house of trouble, Tropicana Field, for three games starting tomorrow night. Their record there at the home of the Tampa Bays Rays is woeful. Here are the pitching matchups, three night games that begin at 7:08pm EDT...
7:08 PM ET NESN Lester (10-7) vs. Sonnanstine (6-7)
7:08 PM ET ESPN Beckett (14-5) vs. Garza (7-9)
7:08 PM ET NESN Buchholz (3-3) vs. Price (7-6)
We go with our three best, so let's hope for another sweep (way easier said than done. 2 of 3 would be just fine with me). Boston has won 10 of their last 13 and are the hottest team in the junior circut.
That's it for this early Monday morning, the last day of August. September already? Wow. September will be the month when we find out if Boston will have any baseball plans in October. I tend to think they will. Francona has done a great job, as usual, spreading the work load amongst his talented crew of major league baseball players. That's one of his strong points. Sure, sometimes it seems like he makes the wrong move, the wrong substitution or the wrong pitcher put into a game at the exact wrong time, but much more often than not, he's exactly right. He's a good man and an underratedly great major league manager. The Red Sox are lucky to have him at the helm. Case closed. Boom. Thump.
Click on this post's title for more Red Sox coverage ala the Boston Globe and as always, BE WELL. GO SOX. Your comments are always welcome and always answered to the best of my baseball ability. See ya...real soon.

Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialists are qualified by training and experience to manage complicated pregnancies. Their services are complementary to obstetricians in providing consultations, co-management, or direct care for a complicated pregnancy or for pre-conception counseling.
Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialists also function in collaboration with family physicians and certified nurse-midwives. Most women seek consultation from or care by a MFM specialist because they are "at risk" and considering becoming pregnant, or otherwise worried about their pregnancy.
The division of Maternal and Fetal Medicine has outpatient services at the Regional Perinatal Center, at University Health Care Center. Please visit the Perinatal Center for more information and useful links.

BEIRUT (AP) — Syria's interior minister suffered a serious back injury in the bombing of his ministry last week and was brought to Beirut on Wednesday for treatment, Lebanese security officials said.
It was the first confirmation that Interior Minister Mohammed al-Shaar was wounded in the Dec. 12 bombing in the capital Damascus that killed several people and wounded more than 20. At the time, state-run Syrian TV said he was not hurt. The security officials asked that their names not be used because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Also Wednesday, government forces were carrying out a broad offensive against rebels trying to topple the regime in the suburbs of Damascus, state media reported. The state-run SANA news agency said that troops have killed "scores of terrorists" — the government term for the rebels.
The suburbs of the capital have been opposition strongholds since the uprising started. The rebels have recently made significant advances in in the area, capturing air bases and military installation and clashing with a pro-government Palestinian group for control of the Yarmouk refugee camp, located in the southern part of the capital.
Massive bombings like the one that struck the Interior Ministry have been a trademark of Islamic radicals fighting alongside the Syrian rebels, raising concerns about the extremists' role in the civil war.
Rebels have targeted the center of Damascus with bomb attacks in the past, most dramatically in July when they detonated explosives inside a high-level crisis meeting in Damascus that killed four top regime officials, including Assad's brother-in-law and the defense minister.
Activists estimate more than 40,000 people have been killed since the conflict erupted in March 2011.
SANA said Wednesday's fighting was taking place in the capital's southern outskirts of Daraya, Harasta, Douma and Hajar Aswad, an area neighboring the Palestinian refugee camp of Yarmouk.
On Tuesday, Syrian fighter jets bombed Yarmouk for the second time in a week, sending thousands fleeing from the camp. There were no reports on casualties from those strikes. Similar airstrikes on Sunday killed at least eight people in Yarmouk, activists said.
The rebel offensive in the camp, which began Friday, is aimed at driving out pro-government Palestinian gunmen of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command (PFLP-GC).
Most of the fighting on Wednesday was concentrated on surrounding districts outside the camp, said the Britain-based opposition activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. It said the rebels took control of large parts of the camp after resistance from the PFLP-GC gunmen ceased in the morning.
Since the camp's creation in 1957, it has evolved into a densely populated residential district just 5 miles (8 kilometers) away from the center of Damascus. Several generations of Palestinian refugees live there, some employed as doctors, engineers and civil servants and others as day laborers and street vendors. Many Syrians have also moved into the camp area over the years.
When the revolt against Assad's rule began, the half-million-strong Palestinian community in Syria stayed on the sidelines. But as the civil war deepened, most Palestinians backed the rebels, while some groups — such as the PFLP-GC— have been fighting alongside the troops. The group is led by Ahmed Jibril, Assad's longtime ally.
The fighting in the camp has forced an exodus of Palestinian refugees and Syrians who came to the camp in past weeks to escape violence elsewhere in the city, according to United Nations officials.
More than two-thirds of the roughly 150,000 Palestinian residents of Yarmouk have left the camp since Friday when the fighting flared up, according to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees. They have either sought shelter in the outskirts of the camp, in other parts of Damascus or other Syrian cities, or headed to the Syrian-Lebanon border, said Sami Mshasha, an UNRWA spokesman.
Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas said in a statement Wednesday he had asked U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon to help in bringing the Palestinian refugees in Syrian to the Palestinian territories. This could include the West Bank, where Abbas governs, or the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.
The statement said there are 450,000 Palestinian refugees living in 10 camps in Syria. Abbas said Yarmouk, which is the biggest camp, "has been through a difficult situation due to the escalating conflict in Syria."
Any movement of refugees into the West Bank would need the consent of Israel.
Israel's Foreign Ministry had no comment.
The battle to bring down the Assad regime has forced some 3 million Syrians from their homes, according to a new estimate. Cold, wet winter weather is making life increasingly difficult for the displaced. Among those who left their homes are more than 500,000 who fled to neighboring countries.
In Geneva, the United Nations refugee agency appealed to international donors for $1 billion to support Syrians in neighboring countries and Egypt. Additionally, the U.N. is also appealing for more than $500 million dollars to help people inside Syria who have been driven from their homes during the civil war.
The new appeal is based on planning estimates that up to one million Syrian refugees will need help during the first half of 2013.
"Unless these funds come quickly, we will not be able to fully respond to the lifesaving needs of civilians who flee Syria every hour of the day - many in a truly desperate condition," said Panos Moumtzis, the agency's regional coordinator for Syrian refugees.
Associated Press writers Albert Aji in Damascus, Syria, and John Heilprin in Geneva, Switzerland, contributed to this report.
