Reports in Germany are suggesting that Bundesliga champions Borussia Dortmund have come back with a revised offer for Central Coast Mariners youngster Mustafa Amini.
Borussia's general manager Michael Zorc told Bild that the club had put forward a new bid for the 18-year old midfielder but the A-League outfit told au.fourfourtwo.com that they had not received an offer.
Dortmund had come forward with an offer of $135,000 after Amini impressed in an April trial but the Mariners rejected that as they feel the Sydney native is worth much more.

Individual, international details for winning results
There is an exquisite feeling of luxury and relaxation when a space has been designed with particular care. Jeanette Thottrup is the mind and hand behind the decoration of Borgo Santo Pietro, a 5 star boutique hotel in a remote area of Tuscany.
Jeanette's approach is to design quality without formality to create a place in which you can feel at home. Although sadly nothing like the homes that most of us live in, we can pick up a few decorating tips from Borgo Santo Pietro in order to bring that five-star feeling into our everyday lives.
The style at Borgo Santo Pietro might best be described as "modern Baroque". While Baroque is traditionally dark, heavy and overdone, Thottrup takes the best parts – opulence, patterning and grandeur – and makes it surprisingly homey. Each common area, bedroom or suite on the property features different décor, responding to the light, shape and overall creative idea behind the space. The owner's very personal style, one she's applied to other properties as well, shines through all the spaces
Keep it light
Thottrup is not afraid of dark, bold colours, but the structure of her spaces begins with light, neutral shades combined with plenty of natural light, or well-controlled artificial lighting for the evening. Although most of the rooms are essentially rebuilt – the original structure was not in great shape – the walls are rarely painted a solid colour, but are given a mottled effect through colour-washing and sometimes antiquating textures to create an effect that is both time-worn yet newly-cleaned.
"Using gentle neutral tones throughout gives a timeless elegant feel in-keeping with the original architectural features of the villa. Natural, fresh tones of of white, creams and greys are used on the walls, which compliment the vaulted ceilings, wood beams, open fireplaces and architectural stonework," explains the owner.
One trick we learned at Borgo Santo Pietro is that getting the right tone of white, beige or grey is important. The rooms here are welcoming and warm, but they don't always use warm colours per se. Tuscan yellow and warm beiges are nowhere to be found; rather, the more French Provincial tones of white and warm grey dominate, even in rooms that preserve wooden-coloured beams.
Mix and match
Although Borgo Santo Pietro intends to evoke the deep history of this 13th century villa, not all the antiques and modern pieces on the property were sourced in Italy. Thottrup explains that she finds mixing pieces from France and England with those from Italy creates a less austere effect.
Although Grandma always warned against it, mixing patterns can be done with success when you work with a common colour, alternate size or type of pattern, and spread it across a large space. The sitting area of a suite at Borgo Santo Pietro looks airy with a Persian rug and tapestried chair in red tones thanks to a neutral coloured couch and tiles.
The logic is explained by the hotel's owner, who declares: "Using heavily patterned fabrics, luxurious furnishings and sumptuous textiles gives an interior a richness and softens the appearance of a space. By introducing interesting pieces such as antique sofas and chaise-longues you can add bold colours, textured fabrics and eye-catching decorative details. If you keep the main colour scheme of the walls, floors and ceilings simple you can then introduce bold and vibrant 'statement pieces' that give the room a wow factor."
Fabric friends
Pattern does not have to be colourful: Thottrup makes excellent use of damask and discreet woven fabrics in white-on-white or combined neutrals. For example, the heavy cotton summer bedspreads respond to the play of light and add a luxurious texture to any room.
Fabric plays a strong role at Borgo Santo Pietro, framing views through heavy curtains, plumping sofas and beds with ample pillows, even surprising the chilly visitor with a thoughtful throw blanket. "Combining different fabrics gives a depth of interest: we have used natural linens, cool cottons and sheer voiles alongside richer fabrics such as velvets and damasks to finish each suite in a unique way."
Two take-home tricks can be learned from how curtains are used. The always double curtains provide privacy or darkness. The privacy curtain need not be a simple white – a paisley pattern in a matching neutral tone might complement the heavier drape. As for the heavy fabric, invest in volume! While potentially not fun to clean in our own homes, the lengthy curtains that pool on the ground exude a sense of luxurious relaxation.
Surprising details
When you get your room key at Borgo Santo Pietro, it's brought to you on a little carved wooden tray, and it's decorated with a traditional, heavy tassle. You'll find more of these around on antique keys and holding back curtains. It's a little touch that makes you think "wow, they've even thought hard about the keys". Decorating is not about covering every surface, but about thinking where you might enjoy an additional visual or tactile element.
Another surprise awaits you in the bathroom. Even in boutique hotels, there seems to be an expectation that bathrooms be functional spaces, while here, the bathroom is transformed into a mini-spa, a place to relax and to breathe in the fragrances of the pomegranate line of bath products by Officina Santa Maria Novella, or of the soft towels themselves. A claw-footed tub, a cozy window seat… Incorporating some of these elements into our own homes would surely increase well-being.
On details, Thottrup provides numerous useful tips, and the best thing is that it doesn't cost a fortune to implement them! "Details are crucial when designing an interior. For example, we have used large-scale calligraphy to decorate walls with beautiful and inspiring quotations which gives a unique and eye-catching decorative feature to the room. Lighting completes a space and we have sourced stunning chandeliers from around the world and every suite features decorative and luxurious lighting fixtures. Finishing touches that make an interior really come-together include scent, sound and sculpture. Room scents and perfumed candles give a room a unique personality, and by adding original artwork or one-off pieces of sculpture you can create an inviting and elegant living space. Finally, the ambience of a space can be further enhanced by the introduction of sound, be it in the form of beautiful background music, the crackling of a real log fire or the sound of a fountain in the garden beyond."
Take your time
Restoring Borgo Santo Pietro from a run-down farmhouse to the fantastic villa it is today took seven years, and the work isn't done yet. The property is constantly expanding, improvements are being made to the garden, and new objects keep arriving from the Thottrups' world travels to find a new home somewhere around the Tuscan property.
"I love to travel and enjoy visiting different countries, I draw inspiration from artisan furniture makers from many different cultures and have picked up beautiful ideas from around the world. Morocco for example is overflowing with colour and texture. I also spend time at antique and art fairs in France, England and Italy where pickup unique original pieces of furniture and accessories."
Sometimes spaces are planned with a statue or other ornament in mind, but the piece arrives later, when the owners find what they were looking for, or the right artisans to make it.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (October 27, 2015) – Halloween is a great time for family fun; however fun can quickly become something truly scary without taking a few simple safety precautions. Many children dressed in costumes will take to the streets for trick-or-treating on Halloween night which means motorists and parents must be even more alert.
Anaheim Fire & Rescue encourages families to carry flashlights and to use pedestrian crossings with caution as well as sidewalks. "We want to remind drivers to be vigilant while on the road and watch for pedestrians especially on Halloween night," said Anaheim Fire Chief Randy R. Bruegman. When placing decorations in or outside of your home we recommend using only battery-operated candles. Real candles should never be used as a illumination for any decoration, and remember to be sure to extinguish all house ornamental candles before leaving your home to trick-or-treat. With everyone's help, we can make this Halloween a fire-safe one."
Here are a few additional tips that can keep your family safe:
Anaheim Fire & Rescue wants to remind you that Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend. Test your smokes alarms monthly, and replace the batteries as needed. If a smoke alarm is more than 10 years old, it should be replaced. If you need assistance or are not sure about your current status of your smoke alarms, Anaheim Fire & Rescue's Home Safety Visit Program can help.
During a visit, fire personnel will share information to increase awareness and knowledge about home safety and demonstrate how to test and maintain your smoke alarms. If needed, fire personnel will replace smoke alarms with new smoke alarms with 10 year batteries. Home assessment and escape planning tools will also be available. Residents can visit the department's website www.anaheim.net/homesafety to request a visit.
For more information on holiday safety information, please visit www.anaheim.net/fire or call 714.765.4040.

What campaign finance-related information does the City Clerk need to give candidates?

Answer: Yes. All personal funds expended by a candidate in support of their own election must be reported (except payment of candidate filing fee)—Idaho Code 67-6602(c) and 67-6612.

When can reporting be terminated?
Candidates/committees may discontinue reporting only when a zero cash balance is reported (on Line 6 of the Summary Page) and no further contributions or expenditures are anticipated.
However, no candidate/committee may terminate reporting prior to an election in which it is involved.
Termination is done by checking "Yes" under "Is this a Termination Report?" on the Summary Page of the C-2.
If a treasurer is unable to balance a report, what should be done?
The treasurer should file the report on time with a note that an amendment will be forthcoming. Filing a report late is a violation of the law.
Does the treasurer need to file the annual report every year?
The treasurer should file the report every year by January 31st with the City Clerk's Office if there is still a balance in the campaign account.

Finding a restaurant for a meal with a large group of friends – which includes food-lovers like me, parents with young ones and some on a tighter budget – is quite a challenge. Especially when it has a lot to live up to, given the success of last year's meal at The Wild Garlic.
Leaving it till a week or two before a trip to the Lake District, in the school summer holidays, is just plain foolish!
So there was a lot of frantic web searching and phone calls on my part before, with huge relief, I found the friendly folks at Miller Howe, in Windermere.
Not only were they willing to offer us a set price menu for just £30 per adult (about £10 less than their usual dinner pricing) they also suggested setting up two large tables in a private corner of their large series of dining rooms, with direct access to the extensive gardens, so the kids could play outside. They asked just £10 per child, offering to adapt starters and desserts from the adult menu and asking parents in advance for suggestions on a suitable main course.
Service was friendly though somewhat confused with dishes consistently delivered to the wrong people. That said, the staff were friendly and didn't seem fazed by our noisy group.
We felt comfortable with our semi-private area; we didn't have to worry about disturbing other guests. And being able to let the kids burn off some of their boundless energy outside was definitely a blessing.
I chose the Cartmel Valley wood pigeon breast, parmesan risotto to start. The pigeon was served nicely pink and had a lovely gamey flavour. The risotto was rather stodgy and lacked the punch of enough parmesan.
The trio of Scottish salmon, seared, rilette and home cured was good. There was nothing outstanding here, but it was a decent selection, simply presented.
Probably the most impressive starter was the twice baked Cumberland farmhouse cheese soufflé, mixed cress and balsamic. Surprisingly light with a touch of crispness on the outside to offset the meltingly soft interior, it had a fantastic, full-on flavour that made me want to steal more than the bite I was generously given!
Quite a few of us plumped for the braised Cumbrian feather beef, herb suet dumpling, root vegetables and red wine jus. The beef itself was delicious, though I hadn't expected it to have been flaked into pieces and then re-assembled into a large cylinder. The flavours were lovely, and continued through into the gravy though I think all of us wanted more gravy – it looks generous in the photos but really didn't go far. The root vegetables went nicely with it, though made the dish feel really out of season, even with the drizzly weather we experienced for most of our week in the Lakes. The suet dumpling was the most disappointing aspect – it was far too solid and rather unpleasant. Overall, the dish went down well but there were quite a few comments that the proportion of meat to vegetables was far too high.
The pan roast wild sea trout, wilted baby gem lettuce, peas, pancetta and baby onions was only ordered by one person on our table and I think he made the wisest choice. This dish really was excellent – the trout was beautifully cooked, moist and full of flavour; the peas and lettuce were refreshing and summery, the pancetta gave a nice punch of flavour without overwhelming the fish and the mashed potato was creamy and rich.
The third main on offer was Goosnargh corn fed chicken breast, buttered spinach, wild mushrooms, madeira sauce. I seldom order chicken but I'd have been happy with this. Simple but, again, well cooked with good flavours in the meat and sauce and a generous serving of wild mushrooms.
All three desserts proved popular.
The sticky toffee pudding, toffee sauce, vanilla ice-cream was satisfactory but not outstanding, it was rich and gooey with a decent flavour.
The English raspberry, apple and almond crumble, traditional vanilla custard was served in individual lidded cast iron pots with custard and cream on the side. I didn't taste any but it seemed to disappear pretty fast and was pronounced delicious!
Sadly, the waiter was completely unable to answer our questions about what a financier might be – in fact, rather than checking, he gave us a completely inaccurate description; no answer would have been better.
Luckily, I think those who ordered the milk chocolate financier, berry sorbet, cocoa reduction generally enjoyed the alternating layers of berry and moist rich chocolate cake. That said, the cocoa reduction was aptly described as "skid-mark minimalism" and hardly fair to include in the description as an element of the dish. The kids adored the flower-decorated chocolate discs on top!
There were a couple of local ales available on tap and a decent wine list. And they were happy to serve tap water in jugs to our table, rather than insisting we paid for bottled.
There were some criticisms about the children's meals – despite being told that the kids would receive simplified and smaller portions of adult starters, they were given full adult dishes – generous, yes, but too large and fussy. The bowl of fresh fruit one of the girls chose instead was good but again, oversized and consequently a bit overwhelming. The biggest disappointment was the tomato pasta served to some of the children – it "just seemed to have a can of chopped tomatoes as the sauce rather than a proper tomato sauce" which was lazy and a bit of a poor show against the rest of the menu, given that it was discussed and ordered in advance.
Even with the discount, some felt that the adult meal was not great value – I think this depended on what was ordered, as others seemed much happier with the price. Conversely, with the exception of the pasta, the kids menu seemed underpriced.
Overall, it was a good evening out and what made the experience particularly enjoyable for me was the flexibility and enthusiasm of the management team when planning and booking the meal, and the relaxed atmosphere on the day.

Wow, July was a busy month. The biggest change for me was I bought my partner's share of our event business (Deckci) so now I own it all by myself. I'll discuss the specifics of how that process went down and tips for others later this month. It's been a little overwhelming juggling everything but I'm finally getting into a groove with things and am looking forward to moving forward with sole control.
We've had some excitement on the home front as well. My baby girl, who turned 10 months old two weeks ago, took her first steps last week! It was pretty exciting for us.
Chase has continued to be very picky – but I'm discovering new tricks to get him to eat well. This week I got a great deal on Chobani orange vanilla greek yogurt which Chase refuse to eat. He spit it out crying. So, I pulled out our popsicle maker, poured the yogurt into the molds and froze them. A few hours later we had popsicles – which Chase happily devoured 🙂

The joke's on you
Frank Cottrell Boyce
I only did the Hollywood Shuffle once. A studio was briefly interested in a comedy idea I had. They flew me out, put me up, fed me, gave me little presents and introduced me to their famous friends. I'd worked for 10 years in the British film industry and no one had so much as offered to pay my train fare, so when friends back home asked, I said Los Angeles was wonderful and the people there were lovely. Sometime in that awkward pause between first draft and moving on, I had a conference call with the lovely people and they were lovelier than ever. They said it was a privilege to work with me and they were so excited but they had a few notes (lovely notes).
When the call was over, I hung up and then picked up again, to make another call. They were still on the line. They were talking about me: "When are you going to tell him?" / "Tell him what?" / "He's not funny enough."/ "I think we stay with him now and get someone funnier after the move on. We can always make it funnier later." / "We need someone now. If we don't Richard Curtisise this, there's not going to be a move on." And as I listened I realised with horror that bedtime shenanigans were beginning in the room below me, that any minute now a child was going to yell "But I've already brushed my teeth!" and my cover would be blown. I ended up under a bed with the duvet pulled around me to muffle the noise. I wanted to say: "You think I'm not funny? You should see me now." I'd been Richard Curtisised. It allwas very ... unlovely. Like sneaking round the back of the Punch and Judy booth and finding that the puppeteer was Dracula.
Rob Long's very, very funny book is a long, horrifying look behind the same curtain. While waiting to hear if his comedy series has been recommissioned the hero receives a basket of fruit from the studio and is paralysed with fear. A basket of fruit - what does that mean? He rings round other writers asking if they know anything about interpretation of fruit baskets. His agent calls the studio and is told that the fruit basket is just a fruit basket. But then our hero's show is dropped. In Hollywood, niceness is just another way of mystifying the process, of keeping the talent guessing, edgy and dependent.
Set Up, Joke, Set Up, Joke takes us through one American TV season - from the cancellation of Rob's show in the spring, to the making of a pilot for his new show in the autumn, through the long sweaty wait to see if the pilot will blossom into a series the next spring. It's fictionalised in the negative sense - ie the names of the guilty have been removed - but it's not fiction as such. There are no characters apart from the writer and his agent; nothing much happens. The result is as riveting and real as gossip. Indeed, there's a brilliant section on the nature and meaning of Hollywood gossip - Long points out that Hollywood is the least imaginative place on earth and therefore all its gossip is probably true. There are hilarious sections, too, on the precise and rigid hierarchies of the film set (the difference between an actor and an Element), on the necessity of plastic surgery, on actors' cars, and an amazing couple of pages in which Desi Arnaz (of I Love Lucy!) is repositioned as an avenging genius.
I was oddly moved by the sequence in which he bumps into a well-known actor on holiday and outlines for us the moral code by which it would be, like, SOO wrong to schmooze the "talent" during family vacation time - before going on to schmooze the talent. This pattern keeps repeating itself. He sees the Better Way but is so mesmerised by the Game that he cannot stop himself sneaking off down the Worse. If you ever wanted to know why American TV drama is so much better than anyone else's, the answer is here. Every top show is like a comedy Los Alamos project - burning up vast quantities of brains, cunning, endurance and paranoia. The formula is simple: the studios simply buy up job lots of brilliant young souls and crush them. There's just enough moral weight in this hugely enjoyable book to make you wonder if it's all really worth it, if it might not be better for a nation to send its best and brightest on a quest to end global warming or poverty, rather than just another third series.

You might remember artist and aspiring fashion designer Laetitia Ky from when she went viral in the summer of 2017 thanks to her extraordinary hair designs.
Ky styles her hair in creative masterpieces not only to express her passion for art, but to show the beauty and versatility of natural Black hair, which has long been ignored and rejected in mainstream spaces. Her work makes a statement about the importance of having more representation and celebration of natural hair, and to encourage people to embrace the locks they were born with.
In an interview with A Plus a few months ago, Ky said that both her hair and her art represent a deeper message about Black womanhood and visibility. "With the return of natural hair to the Black community, hairstyles [have] become a beauty asset, a way of self-affirmation and [a] claim of its beauty," she said. "To use [these] hairstyles as means of expression is, therefore, [powerful] because it speaks to all its Black women who have had, for a long time, made believe that their hair was not dope enough."
Ky's pieces continue to amaze and inspire her viewers, and now her project's mission is expanding to address other topical issues. The 21-year-old Côte d'Ivoire native is going viral again, and this time she presents possibly her most powerful piece of work yet.
In support of the many women who've come forward with their own stories of sexual abuse, Ky dedicated her new hair art to the #MeToo movement.
The social campaign, founded back in 2006 by Tarana Burke, resurged after reports of Hollywood sex abuse scandals flooded the media, encouraging other victims to speak out and find safety in their voice.
Ky showcased her hair sculpture on Instagram along with an empowering message for sexual abuse survivors. The loc'd art piece depicts a man lifting up a woman's skirt, illustrating the fact that sexual abuse is not just rape, it's also harassment and overstepping boundaries.
"Thousands of women are raped every day in the world, but very few are able to talk about it, to complain or fight," Ky wrote in her powerful Instagram caption. "Why? Because our 'beautiful' society has the tendency to blame the victim almost every time."
Ky goes on to speak on the very common and toxic reasons most people use to justify abuse:
" 'Oh but you should not have gone out so late!!!' 'Ah, but you had a mini skirt.' 'Why are you complaining if you agreed to have dinner with him?' 'Don't tell me that you were not trying to seduce him with all that makeup.' Ladies ... NOTHING JUSTIFIES RAPE, SEXUAL ASSAULT OR HARASSMENT. Neither your clothing, your make-up, your relationship with the abuser (because even your husband doesn't have the right to force you to have sex if you don't want to, the concept of marital rape exists). There is no enabling circumstance for the abuser and you need to talk about it so that things start to change. Don't remain silent, don't let anyone tell you that you have some responsibility in this despicable act !!!! Speak out because you don't have to carry this burden alone, talk to help other women who are afraid, talk to start a revolution, talk to change things."
The artist ended her Instagram note saying that she offers her DM to anyone who needs someone to talk to. "You are not alone," she closed. Thousands of Instagram users were moved by Ky's message.
"Love this so much, this has made my day 100× better and it encourages me to speak about it. Thank you so much for this amazing photo and beautiful caption ❤," one commenter said.
"You are an absolute goddess. This actually brought me to tears 💗," another said.
"You are such an inspiration. You give me strength and courage. Thank you," praised another.
Ky uses her art and platform to share other important messages, too. In another recent post, the artist expresses her anti-gun violence stance with a gun-shaped ponytail and a caption stating, "Against gun and violence use love and art ! 💖💖💖 cause art denounces, educates, and can make people smile, I am convinced that artists can change the world !"
Ky's striking images are reaching the masses in a beautiful and unique way. It goes to show that we can always tap into our creativity to make a difference in the world.
We can't wait to see what she inspires us with next.

Able2Extract is a conversion tool to convert PDF to AutoCAD formats, as well as PDF to Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, HTML, image formats and much more.
According to a company spokesman, AutoCAD users may need to convert vector images and text locked in native PDF files to editable DWG or DXF files. AutoCAD offers the ability to save a drawing as PDF, so users can share their drawings, plan or projects with their clients, project leaders or other stakeholders. Professionals from various fields often choose to share their work (designs or drawings) in PDF because the PDF format is platform-independent and doesn't require the native application to view the document. Another advantage of PDF is that it preserves the formatting of documents, so the sender (file creator/author) ensures that the recipients of the file see it as they are intended.

Carolee Reed was at her home in Pasadena, Calif., preparing to celebrate Mother's Day with some friends whose children also live out of town, when the phone rang. She was about to receive the worst news any mother could hear about her daughter, Deborah Cotton, who lives in New Orleans.
"This is Andrea, Debbie's friend," the voice said. "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but Debbie's been shot."
Reed screamed. The friends didn't know Cotton's condition, only that she had been shot in the back. Reed grew frantic, running around her house, wishing she were in New Orleans with her daughter.
"It's a call you never want to get," Reed said Tuesday. She plans to fly to New Orleans on Thursday morning, to sit at her daughter's bedside. "It's a lot to swallow. I feel so helpless being across the country. Thankfully she has so many friends and such a large network. She's had people with her at the hospital 24-7."
Cotton was one of 19 people who were shot while celebrating at a second-line parade on Frenchmen Street on Sunday. Cotton was one of four victims who remained in the hospital Tuesday. All the other victims have been treated and released, officials said.
A bullet entered Cotton's back and exited her abdomen; as a result, she suffered extensive internal damage, Reed said. Cotton lost a kidney, and her body swelled as doctors opened her. She remained in Interim LSU Public Hospital on Tuesday on a ventilator in the trauma intensive care unit. She was in stable but guarded condition, Reed said.
Cotton, 48, moved to New Orleans in June 2005. She evacuated to Texas during Hurricane Katrina, but quickly moved back to help the city rebuild. As a communications professional, she worked for various nonprofit organizations and assisted residents with contractor issues.
Having always been interested in black culture -- she studied African-American studies at San Francisco State University -- Cotton started writing about and videotaping various aspects of black communities in New Orleans, such as second-line parades and Mardi Gras Indians. She blogged under the name Big Red Cotton. In 2009, she began covering second-line parades and other issues for Gambit Weekly. In 2010, she addressed the issue of violence in the neighborhoods surrounding second-line parades in an essay for Gambit titled, "Mainstream Media Doesn't Care About Black People: A Kanyesque Teachable Moment About Second Line Culture Bias."
In a videotaped interview posted on Gambit's website, Cotton addressed the shootings that plague the city: "I'm constantly watching people suffer, either being killed or someone that they know very closely being killed," she said. "I've lost count. I've been here six years and I'd have to sit back and count the number of people that I know personally, just as friends, people I know from work, neighbors, or that I know just from eyeball, that have been killed. And that's unnatural. And like I said, it can be addressed. We are just not rising to the occasion."
As Cotton recovers, her coworkers at Gambit have full confidence in her strength, said editor Kevin Allman. "It's rough, but we know if anybody's going to be OK through this, it's going to be Deb Cotton," he said after visiting with her in the hospital.
Cotton's mother said she is experiencing a range of emotions. "I woke up this morning so angry. So angry," Reed said. "That somebody did that to my daughter, some stupid young individual would take a gun on Mother's Day and shoot up a parade...
"Deborah was such an advocate to end this senseless violence in the city," her mother said. "Everybody came together because of what happened. Hopefully, this will get people really motivated to do something to change the city."
Cotton had recently launched a website, NewOrleansGoodGood.com, an online culture magazine that seeks to introduce readers to those "only-in-New Orleans people, traditions, events you always wanted to know about ... the outlandish characters, colorful history, unique rituals and places local folks know by virtue of living here."
It was a project she had thought about and worked on for a long time, her mother said. Cotton didn't tell anyone about it for months as she worked on building the content that would supply the site.
"She felt it was something that New Orleans needed," Reed said. "It is such a wealth of information. She was proud beyond belief when she launched that website."
She recently covered a brass band honoring a slain member, a noteworthy Jazz Fest performance and the release of a new Mardi Gras Indians CD by the Fi-Yi-Yi tribe.Her enthusiasm for the second-line culture of New Orleans was captured in one of her tweets, written, coincidentally, on Mother's Day:
RT @nolagoodgood: A very Happy Mother's Day to all! See U at the 2nd line today w/ @tbc_brassband. Route: here bit.ly/10nHCxT #NOLA-- BigRedCotton (@BigRedCotton) May 12, 2013
As she recovers from three surgeries and is hooked up to various tubes and a ventilator, Cotton has been unable to speak since the shooting, Reed said. However, she can write notes. Reed said she was told of her daughter writing a note to her friend, whose boyfriend is a musician, asking how one of his recent concerts had gone.
"She still wants to keep up with what's going on," Reed said. "She's always thinking about other people before herself."
Reed sighed and said she better get back to preparing for her trip to be at her daughter's bedside. She said she couldn't wait to hug her daughter. "I just want everybody just to know how wonderful she is and how selfless she is."

John McCain, a member of the House of Representatives in the mid-1980s, often held court at a table near the bar at Bullfeathers, a popular Capitol Hill watering hole, telling jokes and matching hangers-on drink by drink.
As a Capitol Hill chief of staff, I often drank at Bullfeathers and was invited to join the throng at McCain's table one evening. A few minutes listening to the racism, bigotry and homophobia of the Arizona Congressman told me all I needed to know.
McCain loved to tell jokes about lesbians, blacks, Hispanics and the Vietnamese community that occupied a large section of Arlington County, Virginia, just south of the District of Columbia.
Of course, McCain didn't use polite language in the jokes: He used names like "fags" or "queers" or "dykes" or "niggers" or "spics" or "wetbacks" or "gooks."
A typical McCain joke (overheard at Bullfeathers):
Two dykes are talking at a bar and one leaves. As she walks toward the door, the other watches her leave and says out loud: "God, I've love to eat her out."
Two men are standing near by and one turns to the other and says: "I'd like to do the same. Guess that makes me a dyke."
Or another (also overheard at Bullfeathers):
Question: Why does Mexican beer have two "X's" on the label?
Answer: Because wetbacks always need a co-signer.
(McCain has a documented history of lesbian jokes. He's also come under fire for other jokes about rape.)
Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?
Because Janet Reno is her father.
Another example:
Did you hear the one about the woman who is attacked on the street by a gorilla, beaten senseless, raped repeatedly and left to die? When she finally regains consciousness and tries to speak, her doctor leans over to hear her sigh contently and to feebly ask, 'Where is that marvelous ape?'
When he ran for the Senate, I attended a gathering of GOP operatives at the National Republican Senatorial Committee where McCain outlined his campaign strategy:
I play to win. I do whatever it takes to win. If I have to fuck my opponent to win I'll do it. If I have to destroy my opponent I won't give it a second thought.
McCain's so-called sense of humor has no limits when it comes to simple human decency. Shortly after former President Ronald Reagan announced he had Alzheimer's Disease, McCain told this joke at a GOP Fundraiser:
Do you know the best thing about having Alzheimer's?
You get to hide your own Easter eggs.
Even his wife is not immune. Writes Cliff Schecter in his book, The Real John McCain:
Three reporters from Arizona, on the condition of anonymity, also let me in on another incident involving McCain's intemperateness. In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c–t." McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.
This is the man the Republican Party thinks should be the next President of the United States. What else should we expect from a party that promotes racism, homophobia and discrimination against anyone with a different skin color, sexual orientation or ethnic origin?
So we shouldn't be surprised that McCain's campaign strategy seeks to raise racial fear about Barack Obama, the first African-American with a serious shot at the Presidency of the United States.
John McCain is a racist: Always has been, always will be. A retired Naval officer who says he served with McCain in the Navy says he treated black sailors with disrespect and scorn. McCain refuses to release his detailed military record and some sources say that record includes incidents that include issues with black sailors.
Such attitudes are part of his family history. As noted by a black poster in Talking Points Memo:
I can't love America the same way John McCain does. When his daddy was Admiral, my daddy was mopping floors. And when his granddaddy was Admiral, all the Blacks in the entire Navy were mopping floors. But they still volunteered and went to war, even when their commanders didn't think they were brave enough to fight. So who loves America more? The cook on the ship who couldn't vote in 15 states, or the Admiral who dined on the meals he slaved over?
McCain's collection of off-color jokes are riddled with racist words and sentiments. Advisors have toned down the raunchy rhetoric of his early years in Congress but close aides say his attitudes have not changed.
McCain opposed making the birthday of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King a national holiday. During his 2000 campaign for President, he told reporters on his "Straight Talk Express: "I hated the gooks (North Vietnamese). I will hate them as long as I live."
Katie Hong of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, who reported the remark, wrote:
It is offensive because by using a racial epithet that has historically been used to demean all Asians to describe his captors, McCain failed to make a distinction between his torturers and an entire racial group.
It is alarming because a major candidate for president publicly used a racial epithet, refused to apologize for doing so and remains a legitimate contender.
For his 2000 campaign for President, McCain hired Richard Quinn, founder and editor in chief of Southern Heritage Magazine, to serve as his spokesman in South Carolina.
Notes Salon.Com:
Quinn's articles have called Nelson Mandela a "terrorist" and King a man "whose role in history was to lead his people into a perpetual dependence on the welfare state, a terrible bondage of body and soul." In another piece, Quinn said of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, "What better way to reject politics as usual than to elect a maverick like David Duke?" though he did condemn Duke's bigotry.
Irwin A. Tank, author of Gook: John McCain's Racism, notes a long and sordid history of racism from the presumptive GOP nominee, including:
- McCain's use of the anti-Asian slur "gook" publicly for 27 years before dropping the use for his current Presidential run;
- McCain's endorsement of George Wallace Jr., a frequent speaker at white supremacist events;
- His vote against establishing a holiday for Martin Luther King's birthday and then another vote to rescind the holiday.
- In answering a question about divorced fathers and child support, McCain called the children "tar babies."
The list goes on and on.
What else do you expect from a racist, bigot and homophobe?

Anna Pavlova (1881-1931) was one of the most important ballerinas of the 20-th century. Unlike other female ballerinas of the time she were very muscular and shapely, she was very slender and fragile-looking. She was most noted for her roll in the ballet The Dying Swan, and was the first ballerina to tour the world. The following photographs were shot by Ira L. Hill .

New: THEATER REVIEW: Strindberg's 'Miss Julie' & Two Short Plays
Marin Onstage, which put on a remarkable version of Ibsen's modern classic, 'Doll House,' reviewed here in November—and all the more remarkable as a small, independent company taking on such a work and giving it a fresh, compelling staging—continues their season of plays about women with three very different short plays, including the great—and not so short—'Miss Julie,' one of the salvos Strindberg directed in part at Ibsen, a decade after 'Doll House,' one of the first truly modern plays, displaying in rare, exciting dramatic form with a small cast both the war of the sexes and the class struggle.
The other two plays, staged in the little theater at the old St. Vincent's School off 101, across from Marinwood, north of San Rafael and just south of Novato (it's worth going early to see this almost pristine spot, with the Silveira Ranch and other fields stretching from the freeway through eucalyptus, past the Mission-style church and arcades, down to the Bay), seem much simpler, but there's a great breadth of theatrical range, of social experience, to be found in this selection.
'Trifles,' 1916, directed by Paul Abbott, is by Susan Glaspell, a mainstay of the Provincetown Players, that seminal group out of which emerged many important American theater folk, including Eugene O'Neill. Two women, accompanying their husbands who're investigating a possible murder at a lonely homestead farm, come to their own conclusions—and, in a very real way, their own verdict—in this small gem of indirection under the shadow of sexist prejudice. The ensemble gets across what on the surface is a homespun tale that casts light on rural America of the early past century. Marilyn Hughes is particularly effective.
Bertolt Brecht's 'The Jewish Wife,' part of the playwright's 1938 cycle, ''Fear & Misery in the Third Reich' (aka 'Private Life of the Master Race'), begins with a monologue by the title character, trying to find a way to explain to her husband why she's leaving Nazi Germany, and the rather different situation that results when the husband comes into the room as she's packing. Stephanie Ann Foster—who played Nora in 'Doll House' with such theatrical verve—directs Susan Stein as the wife.
Stein has excellent stage presence, complemented by Jim McFadden's deliberately low-key husband. But Brecht's point is made less in the emoting of the wife—openly as she rehearses her explanation, with a lid on as she improvises her exit—but in the disparity between the two, in the distance between a couple who have grown apart over social issues of dire import, met with inattention—and in the fate of a gifted fur coat ... will it be brought along unseasonably on a supposedly short trip? If the conditions of the emotions aren't accented theatrically, there's the danger of melodrama, Brecht's bete noir in theater. This production barely skirts it, despite its attributes.
'Miss Julie,' 1888, is very much a play of its time—and one of great theatrical revelation, true excitement, for anyone lucky enough to catch a production that connects directly with the issues at stake for the characters—and with the audience. This is that kind of production. Directed by Ron Nash, whose adaptation and direction of 'Doll House' was brilliantly alive, and featuring Stephanie Ann Foster in the title role, the action is unrelenting from beginning to end—even when "äction" is in the Aristotelian sense of maybe a few words that get the ball rolling, start a train of thought in the audience.
Foster plays the mercurial Julie as a fascinating, complex creature, flirtacious and hard, alluring and forbidding, changing in a second with a slight gesture or expression, often matching the fears or desires of her partner in crime, the servant Jean, well-played by Michael Walraven, emphasizing the vanity of a servant who is proud of both his own knowledge of the upper classes (and his own difference, as he imagines it, from other servants) as well as for his contempt for the masters (as well as his own class).
The play takes place on the saint's day that opens summer, a transparently pagan holiday, with ghe servants drinking and dancing, the master gone—and Miss julie joining in, looking for trouble. Jean, with his "fiancee," the stolid, church-going house cook (well-acted by Jocelyn Roddie), tries to stay out of the action, but is sucked in deeper than either he or his temptress could've imagined, provoking a storm of reversals, arguments and attempts at tenderness, confessions and accusations. In the brilliant interlude, when Jean and Miss Julie retreat from the stage so as not to be seen together, they're overheard within by two carousing peasants, played with energy and humor by Arden Kilzer and Bill McClave.
The end comes in more than tragic terms, the kind of hyper-tragedy, amid black humor, that Strindberg helped introduce to modern theater. Marin Onstage's relentless production shows what Antonin Artaud—the first to direct Strindberg's more abstract plays in a non-realistic style in the late 1920s, when he spoke of what he thought of as true theater by comparing two Greek tragedians: "In Aeschylus, Man is very evil ["mal"—also, sick], but he is still a little god. Then Euripides comes ... the floodgates are down ... we wnader on swampy ground—and we don't know anymore where we are."
With 'Miss Julie' comes that rare excitement in theater—watching change happen right in front of your eyes ... and never being sure exactly where it's going.
Thursdays through Saturdays at 8, Sundays at 3 through March 2. Little Theater, 1 St. Vincent Road, St. Vincent exit, off Highway 101, north of San Rafael. $10-$18. (415) 290-1433; marinonstage.org

This is the first of nine of my paintings that were done during the last two years in my former studio. Please click on each of these photos to enlarge them and scroll down for more. The painting is part of my series "Songs of the Earth". The title is taken from Gustav Mahler's song cycle "Song of the Earth". In the beginning of the cycle a voice emerges only to slowly sink back into the earth for the last song. The series follows my previous "Deluge" series. After the flood, a longing for the earth.

Collection Highlight E352229: Bag- Wood and Dressed Skin
This small bag, made of wood or reeds and dressed animal skin, was donated to the museum in 1931! Though the catalog card does not identify a collector, we know it was donated by The Museum of the Academy of Sciences, Leningrad, Russia. Collected near the Aldan and Lena Rivers area in Southeastern Siberia, Russia, the bag is associated with the Yakut (or Sakha) culture. Bags of this type, typically made from ox hide, were used to transport fermented mare's milk (koumiss)! 'This bag couldn't hold much koumiss!' you may be saying. In fact, this particular bag is most likely a model or a child's version of the typical full sized bag!

VEAZIE, Maine — Town councilors will consider scheduling a public hearing regarding another moratorium for medical marijuana dispensaries and growing facilities during a meeting at 7 p.m. Monday.
Maine voters first approved the use of medical marijuana in 1999, and in November 2009 resoundingly supported expanding the law to include more medical conditions and the creation of nonprofit, government-sanctioned clinics and marijuana cultivation centers.
Last summer, Veazie was among numerous Maine communities that enacted six-month moratoriums after the state began accepting applications for such operations. The moratoriums were intended to give local officials time to develop guidelines and restrictions.
In his agenda notes for Monday's meeting, Veazie Town Manager Bill Reed wrote that the town attorney indicated that the planning board needs more time to complete its recommendations, hold a public hearing and present proposed rules to the council for its review, public hearing and adoption process.
As it stands, there is no application pending for medical pot facilities in Veazie.
Northeast Patients Group, a recently formed corporation with ties to California-based Berkeley Patients Group, won approval last July from the Maine Department of Health and Human Services to run four of the state's eight clinics in or around Augusta, Bangor, Portland and Thomaston.
Northeast Patients Group also has been talking with Hermon town officials about developing a marijuana cultivation facility in a Dysart's warehouse near the interstate.

Mackinac Bridge Authority mourns passing of Charles "Chick" Fisher III
Flags will be flown at half-staff through sunset Thursday at the Mackinac Bridge in honor of long-time former chairman and authority member Charles T. "Chick" Fisher III, who died Sunday, June 15.
Fisher, former chairman, president and CEO of NBD Bancorp, Inc., began 30 years of service on the Mackinac Bridge Authority (MBA) board in 1967. He was chairman of the authority from 1974 to 1997, a tenure that included the Mackinac Bridge's 25th anniversary in 1982.
"The Mackinac Bridge Authority, and indeed everyone who has ever crossed the bridge, owes Chick and the entire Fisher family a debt of gratitude," said MBA Board Chairman William H. Gnodtke. "Only one board member, Murray D. Van Wagoner, and one chairman, Prentiss M. Brown, served longer than Chick."
Fisher's father, Charles T. Fisher, Jr., was one of the MBA's original board members and vice-chairmen, serving from 1950 to 1958. His mother, Elizabeth Briggs Fisher, served on the board from 1958 to 1967.
Visitation will take place on Wednesday, June 18, from 6-8 p.m. at Chas. Verheyden Funeral Home, Inc., in Grosse Pointe Park. Funeral services will be Thursday, June 19, at noon at St. Paul on the Lake Catholic Church in Grosse Pointe Farms.

On the City of Heroes site, a new villain has been unveiled. The Rikti are a race of alien beings with advanced technology:
The fact that the Rikti Invasion is over for the time being does not mean that the other-dimensional invaders are cleansed from the city. In fact, quite the opposite is true. No one knows for sure how many Rikti still lurk beneath the streets of Paragon City and other great battleground cities like Rome and Kuala Lumpur. Some estimates put the number at a few thousand. Others suggest that there are ten or twenty times that many still menacing the planet. While the danger of total worldwide enslavement to an alien race seems to have passed for the time being, the Rikti still present a daily and ever-growing threat.
City of Heroes is a persistent state world in development by Cryptic Studios. NCSoft will publish this superhero MMORPG. No release date has yet been set, but it is expected to be out later this year.

Kasey here, as we continue on our journey of healthy eating I am always trying to come up with new recipes that my family will love. Last night, I made Apricot Chicken with broccoli and asparagus and it was amazing!! This recipe was inspired by Olive Garden's Venetian Apricot Chicken, however I have made several adjustments to the recipe to make it easier to prepare.
This recipe is AdvoCare 24-Day Challenge friendly. If you are limiting your carb intake then you'll want to omit the potatoes.

The website of a Miami-based networking and security solutions reseller became inaccessible Monday, shortly after the company began advertising an unauthorized Mac clone for a fraction of the cost of Apple's cheapest system. Dubbed OpenMac, the USD 400 offering from Psystar Corporation is described as 'a low-cost high-performance computing platform' based on the ongoing OSX86Project - a hacker-based initiative aimed at maintaining a version of the Mac OS X operating system for everyday PCs. The website is back online now, and the machine has been renamed to Open Computer. Update: Psystar says they will continue to sell the Open Computer system, despite the fact that it appears to violate Apple's EULA. "We're not breaking any laws," they insisted.

Apple seriously need to be challenged
by xpr0nstar on Tue 15th Apr 2008 11:40 UTC
I truly want to see Psystar gives Apple a serious legal battle. The part of EULA that restricts users from installing legally-purchased OSX on non-Apple hardware has, in my opinion, no legal or moral basis. Users can't do it simply because Apple says so. There is no other good reasons beside the fact that it makes Apple tons of money. If I'm willing to forego the warranty and tech support, Apple should allow me install on whatever hardware I choose.

|Home > High resolution infrared measurements of single-phase flow of R245fa and R236fa within a compact plate heat exchanger, Part 1: Experimental setup and pressure drop results
This two-part paper presents experimental work to characterize thermal and hydraulic performances of a compact plate heat exchanger. Upward single-phase heat transfer and pressure drop of low pressure, liquid refrigerants R245fa and R236fa was investigated within a plate prototype fabricated with a 1 mm pressing depth and a chevron angle of 65 degrees. Specifically in Part 1, experiments were carried out for Reynolds numbers ranging from 34 to 1615, corresponding to a range of mass flux from 8 to 384 kg m(-2) s(-1) and Prandtl numbers ranging from 4.9 to 6.5. The Fanning friction factor was found to be strongly dependent on the Reynolds number and the experimental pressure drop database was validated against several prediction methods available in the open literature. Fine resolution infrared measurements were performed to obtain local (pixel-by-pixel) heat transfer coefficient, fully described in Part 2, while the technique developed to reduce the experimental data is detailed in Part 1. Finally, a frictional pressure drop prediction method, which captured the entire experimental databank within a bandwidth of +/- 20% and mean absolute error of 8.2%, was also provided.

EBSCO MARC Records - FAQs
Q. What fields are included in machine-generated MARC records?
Machine-generated records are brief and consist of the following fields:
001 003 007 008 035 040 042 222 245 500 530 650 773 856
The 245 field is the full title (as found in the EBSCO title database) placed in the $a subfield.
Q. With what "standards" do EBSCO's MARC records comply?
EBSCO's records comply with MARC21 standards. For more information on this format and associated field definitions, please refer to: www.loc.gov/marc/specifications/.
In addition, records comply with MARC record guidelines for journals in aggregator databases drafted by the PCC (Program for Cooperative Cataloging) Task Group.
Q. Does EBSCO export all fields from the original MARC record?
No. In order to minimize confusion, EBSCO automatically omits a number of fields pertaining only to print titles from our MARC records. Below is a list of all fields that are included in EBSCO's MARC records if they are available on the original record:
008 010 035* 050 060 070 074 080 086 100 110 111 222* 245 246 250 260 310 362 400 410 411 440 500 501 502 504 505 506 507 508 511 513 514 515 516 518 520 521 522 524 525 534 535 536 538 540 541 544 545 546 547 550 551 555 556 561 562 565 567 580 581 583 584 585 586 600 610 611 630 650 651 652 653 654 655 656 657 658 700 710 711 720 730 780 785 800 810 811 830
* Included as an option.
Q. How are EBSCO's MARC records corrected and changed?
EBSCO relies on CONSER members to correct records (e.g., fixing typographical errors or updating publisher information) and submit them through normal channels. EBSCO subscribes to the CONSER data from the Library of Congress, and regularly updates the files on our computers. By re-matching and reloading the records each month, any changes made by CONSER members are automatically applied to the EBSCO record sets.
Q. How often are MARC records distributed?
Files are updated and distributed to customers each month.
Q. Does EBSCO provide title lists in file formats other than MARC?
Yes. Customers who subscribe to Full Text Finder® can download a complete title list of their selected holdings through EBSCOadmin Holdings Management using the Download feature.
Q. How does a customer obtain the updated MARC files?
Once a customer has signed up for HLM with MARC Updates, the files are made available monthly, and placed on an FTP server. Customers receive an e-mail notification when files are ready for retrieval.
Q. How are the EBSCO MARC record files named?
If you have chosen to receive a complete file of MARC Records each month, the file name will look like this:
Where: CUSTID is the customer's HLM account number
yyyymmdd are the year, month, and day the file was created.
If your institution receives updates only, then you may be sent up to three MARC files each month (one for each transaction type). The format for these file names are:
EBZ-CUSTID-yyyymmdd-add.marc - (added records)
EBZ-CUSTID-yyyymmdd-chg.marc - (changed records)
EBZ-CUSTID-yyyymmdd-del.marc - (deleted records)
In addition to the MARC files, you will receive a Microsoft® Excel spreadsheet detailing the changes to your account.
Q. We have chosen to receive our EBSCO MARC Records as Updates Only but do not always receive three MARC files. Why?
The Updates Only option puts added records in one file, changed records in another, and deleted records in a third file. Not every run, however, will have records in each of these categories. Files are created only when records of that transaction type exist.
For example, you will only receive a deleted records file if you have any MARC records for titles which need to be completely removed from your catalog (because you no longer have any access to the titles). If you retain access to a title through another resources, this is considered a "change" and not a "delete", as other instances of the title remain in your MARC records file.
Q. A new title was added to one of our databases/packages. However, the corresponding record was not found in our MARC Records "adds" file. Why not?
Your institution has chosen to separate your EBSCO MARC Records into three separate files: Adds, Deletes, and Changes. The information contained in each of your MARC Records files is based on your institution's individual holdings. While the title was added to a new database/package, it was already part of your collection, either as an individual e-journal or within another database or package. This means that your institution has already been receiving a MARC record for the title. Therefore, the record you are looking for is in your "Changes" file, and reflects the new addition of the 773 and 856 fields.
Q. Why does EBSCO include a uniform title in the MARC records?
If your institution loads the EBSCO MARC records as separate records, two titles will appear in the library catalog when a user performs a search for that title. However, if your library catalog has been set up to show the uniform title (where one exists), the EBSCO title automatically includes (Online) at the end, thus helping the end user differentiate between the online and print versions of the title.
The uniform title option is available to all HLM with MARC Updates customers.
Q. Why does EBSCO include all 035 fields in the MARC records?
The 035 field contains control numbers for a given record and identifies the organization or service to which this control number applies. Libraries commonly use the 035 field when loading MARC records into a catalog to verify if the record already exists. All EBSCO records include a 035 field which identifies the EBSCO control number. As an option, the library can elect to include all 035 fields that were on the original CONSER record - including the OCLC control number.
When a library elects to have only one record in the catalog for a given title, the EBSCO record needs to be matched to existing records so that the 856 field from the EBSCO record can be added to the existing record. By including all 035 fields, the OCLC number will be included in the EBSCO record. The OCLC number can then be used as a match point for appending the electronic holdings information onto an existing record.
Note: Libraries who use separate (from print) records for online versions of a title should not choose to include all 035 fields; only the EBSCO 035 field should be included. On occasion, the loading software will automatically try to use the 035 field to match and update records. As a result, EBSCO records may overwrite existing print records if all 035 fields are included.
Q. What does a CONSER-derived EBSCO MARC record look like?
Below is an EBSCO MARC record derived from CONSER data:

Q. What does a machine generated EBSCO MARC record look like?
Below is an example of a machine-generated EBSCO MARC record:
Leader: 00850cas 22002172 4500 001 ebs88822e 003 EBZ 006 m d |||||| 007 cr|unu|||||||| 008 030502c 9999xx uu p 0 0eng d 022 $y1537-260X 035 $a(EBZ)ebs88822e 040 $aEBZ 042 $anoncon-m 130 0 $aAcademy of Management Learning and Education (Online) 245 00$aAcademy of Management Learning and Education$h[electronic resource]. 773 0 $tBusiness Source Elite 773 0 $tBusiness Source Premier 856 40$3Full text available: 2002 -. $zAvailable in Business Source Elite. $uhttp://search.ebscohost.com/direct.asp?db=bsh&jn=F13&scope=site 856 40$3Full text available: 2002 -. $zAvailable in Business Source Premier. $uhttp://search.ebscohost.com/direct.asp?db=buh&jn=F13&scope=site
Q. How does EBSCO handle MARC records if no matching CONSER record is found?
In cases where the CONSER record is not found, our systems automatically create a Machine Generated Record (MGR) with very brief information that conforms to the guidelines set forth by the PCC (Program for Cooperative Cataloging, Library of Congress)Task Group.
Why does the number of records in my MARC file not match the number of updates in my Excel spreadsheet?
The number of records in your MARC file reflects the number of unique titles in your collection. The Excel spreadsheet that is sent to you each month gives you a breakdown of changes, adds, and deletes for those records. For example, if a unique title was removed from one package, that's a delete. Then if it was added to another package, that's an add--two changes for one title. So the spreadsheet may consistently present a higher number than the number of records in your MARC file.
Are OCLC numbers included in MARC records?
The original OCLC number is retained in the 035 field of our MARC records. In cases where the record has been derived from the CONSER record of the print journal, there will be at least two 035 fields; one for the EBSCO control number for the record and the other for the original OCLC control number.
Do EBSCO custom MARC records include a Uniform Title field?
Uniform Title fields can be added to our custom MARC records by special request.
The Uniform Title, which is added to the 130 (or 240 field if fields 100, 110 or 111 already exist) is essentially the main title with "(Online)" added. This is useful for OPACs that have special Uniform Title handling as it is a good indicator to the end user that the given resource is an online resource.
EBSCO customers who would like to receive custom MARC files with Uniform Titles included are invited to contact Technical Support.

July 14, 2014--While recently in Letcher County, I spoke with a young man who described the economic realities of living in Central Appalachia. He told me he had to choose between "going into the coal mines and destroying the land I love, going into military service and being forced to leave my family, or illegally selling prescription drugs."Nearly a week earlier, I had spoken with a student from duPont Manual High School in Louisville who had decided he would leave Kentucky to go to college because he wanted to study software engineering for renewable energy infrastructure.
He said renewable energy was the fastest-growing energy industry, and he thought Kentucky would continue to fall behind as the rest of the nation and the world developed cleaner and safer energy technologies.
These stories spotlight the fact that while our young people are being forced into choosing between unimaginably depressing situations or leaving, our political leaders are doubling down on absolutely ignoring the needs of our future leaders and pretending our state doesn't have a serious energy economy problem.
Since the Environmental Protection Agency released draft carbon-pollution standards (something young people overwhelmingly support), Kentucky's political leaders have lined up to denounce them.
House Speaker Greg Stumbo and Senate Majority Leader Robert Stivers were in rare agreement when they jointly called the standards a "dumb-ass policy," even though the policy reflects what the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet had requested from the EPA.
Secretary of State Alison Grimes and U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell have come out in support of uninhibited fossil-fuel expansion. Both Senate candidates lack a vision to change our energy economy.
And then there is the June 23 op-ed by former U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis. Davis basically concluded that:
■ The U.S. should not be a leader in addressing carbon pollution because other industrial countries, such as China, aren't doing anything.
■ Kentucky should not focus on developing renewable energy and investing in energy efficiency because it would cost too much.
■ Only radical environmental activists believe we should regulate carbon pollution.
Upon closer examination, Davis' arguments do not pass the reality-check test.
■ The Pew Charitable Trust reports that China is the global leader in renewable energy investments (almost $20 billion more than the U.S. in 2013). The day after the EPA unveiled America's carbon-pollution limits, a Chinese official talked about China introducing a carbon cap of its own, likely starting in 2016.
■ A 2012 study by Synapse Energy Economics stated that the introduction of legislation in Kentucky that would require utilities to invest more in energy efficiency and renewable energy over 10 years would reduce emissions of carbon dioxide by 15 percent; reduce average electric bills by 8 to 10 percent; achieve net increases of 28,000 jobs and $1.5 billion in gross state product.
■ A recent Washington Post-ABC News survey found that 70 percent of Americans want the federal government to limit climate-change pollution from power plants, including 57 percent of Republicans, 76 percent of Independents and 79 percent of Democrats.
The poll asked voters if they would support carbon limits even if electricity costs rise, and 51 percent of Republicans, 64 percent of Independents and 71 percent of Democrats said yes.
So I say to Davis and all the current elected officials, young Kentuckians need leadership, not politics. It seems like the people we have elected to Frankfort and Washington are standing around pointing fingers as our families and friends are dying from cancer and respiratory disease while being forced to tell their siblings they can't drink out of the well, swim in the streams or even grow crops on our polluted lands.
All this drives young entrepreneurs and other businesses away. Will we have to look into our children's eyes and confess that we had the opportunity, but lacked the courage? That we had the technology, but lacked the vision?
For all our sakes, I sure hope not.

We have a new online video for you!
Rabbi Mansour's shiur is a powerful explanation of the middah (character trait) of vatranut, including fascinating examples, an analysis of its rationale, and consideration of its value as an antidote to some unfortunate modern secular values.
Have you ever wondered why HaShem chose the particular letters in his Name to write his Name? Rabbi Mansour does, and shares his insights. Through vatranus we each have a power to bring our strife-ridden world back into the Divine Presence.
Rabbi Mansour is the Sephardic Rabbi of Congregation Bet Yaakob in Brooklyn, New York. He is an eminent Torah scholar, internationally renowned and a highly sought after speaker.
Rabbi Eli Joseph Mansoor's presentation, The Power of Vatranut, was shown at Adams Street as part of the The Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation's 2015 worldwide Tisha B'av video event, entitled The Power to Yield.
The Adams Street Shul now presents this video on our website by the kind permission of the Chofetz Chaim Heritage Foundation.
After absorbing Rabbi Mansoor's vigorous and original presentation, you'll be empowered by improved relationships with family, friends, and business associates.
Although the original occasion for this shiur was Tisha B'Av, its inspiration is relevant and welcome at any time. Here is the video:{/youtube}
