Three of the four people I'm talking about were lycra wearers, which is only significant because lycra-wearing tends to indicate to me a slightly more serious rider in most cases - these people should know better.
Well, you won't find many serious cyclists around there. Morons riding in groups at speed... are just morons.
Stromlo, Uriarra, Cotter, Tidbinbilla, Corin, Fed highway, Apollo Rd etc. - that's where we hang.

After a string of mishaps and controversies surrounding the McResource Line, McDonald's has shut down its internal employee resource website.
The website recently made headlines after a tip told employees to avoid eating fast food.
"While convenient and economical for a busy lifestyle, fast foods are typically high in calories, fat, saturated fat, sugar, and salt and may put people at risk for becoming overweight," the site read.
A graphic with the tip showed a side-by-side picture of a cheeseburger, fries and a soda under the caption "unhealthy choice" next to a picture of a sub, salad and water with the caption "Healthier choice."
Visitors to the McResource Line on Wednesday received the message: "We are temporarily performing some maintenance in order to provide you with the best experience possible. Please excuse us while these upgrades are being made."
McDonald's confirmed the site has been taken down in a statement on its website.
"A combination of factors has led us to re-evaluate and we've directed the vendor to take down the website," the statement reads. "Between links to irrelevant or outdated information, along with outside groups taking elements out of context, this created unwarranted scrutiny and inappropriate commentary. None of this helps our McDonald's team members."
Telling employees to not eat fast food is just the latest thing to bring the site under scrutiny. A budget-planning guide was criticized in July for being out of touch.
NBC News reported earlier this month that the site offered a guide on how much one should tip a pool cleaner or housekeeper, but the University of California Berkeley Labor Center and University of Illinois released a study in October that said 52 percent of families of fast food workers are on public assistance programs like Medicaid and food stamps.

Is your child's back talking becoming a problem? Are you tired of hearing "No! You do it!" from your toddler or preschooler? There may be something you can do to help curb those annoying, whiny, temper tantrums.
Instead of responding by saying "You'll do it because I said so" or "Don't ever talk to me like that!" there are other ways to help your child learn to disagree with you respectfully. The best way to stop back talk is to provide your child with some independence – but within your own limits. Kids of all ages need a sense of personal power to make their own choices and express their differences in opinions with parents. When parents make all the decisions for them, children naturally want to lash out, and so they do — with words and sometimes, physical aggression.
So how can parents teach their children to disagree respectfully? Read the full article here: How to Stop Back Talking Without "Because I Said So"

All In The Family...
This photo was taken at the Customs House Museum in Cairo, Illinois, about five years ago. It's a massive, handsome old building on Cairo's main street, just a block or two from the Mississippi River docks. In the old days when Cairo was an important river port, all sorts of import and export legalities were managed from the Customs House.
This is a back stairway which hadn't been reached yet by restoration efforts. The picture appeals to me today because I'm feeling bleak and hollow with occasional bursts of light.
Dennis is getting out of the hospital this afternoon. I am picking Isaac up from school and then going to get Dennis. He is very tottery on his feet. If he can't make it up the steps into the house, Isaac and I will have to make a chair in our arms and carry him in, I guess.
He's happy to be coming home, and I understand his desire to get out of the hospital, and I am grateful that he has recovered as much as he has. I hope he continues to recover rapidly and I really hope that his home care (provided by me) goes smoothly.

Vintage Love in Felix's Room
Name: Felix (7 months)
Location: Philadelphia, PA
A little over a year ago we discovered.... that we were going to be three!!! So we set out to make this happy little nursery. Our challenge was to make it happen using things we had and get it done on a small budget...oh, and we started about a month before the baby was due!
On December 6th, our sweet boy, Felix David, was born. We named him after our grandfathers. His room, like his name, is filled with meaning and a lot of love. Creating it together made us so happy and watching Felix enjoy it is the best feeling! We hope you like it too!
Source List:
• Inspiration Point: The best place to start! I found the most beautiful granny square afghan I have ever seen, from a lovely friend. The colors are amazing!
• Paint: Sherwin Williams
• Rug: orange shag, one of the best decisions ever!
• Furniture: We used Phil's furniture from his childhood. It is sturdy, well made furniture and I love that we could reuse it. We painted it glossy white and lime green.
• Rocking Chair: Poang chair, we got on craigslist for a steal
• Crib: this was the only piece of furniture we purchased new from Ikea. The modern design was just right and it did not overwhelm our small space.
• Bedding & Mobiles: made by Poppy & Bean (that's me!)
• Lamps: used existing lamps & recovered our old lampshades with some funky fabric
• Art: one of my best friends surprised us with her amazing original artwork. We will treasure these forever!
• Vintage toys: these were Phil's when he was little!
• Pegboard hippo: was from my Dad's nursery, over 50 years old!
• Frog Shoe Caddy: was found at a thrift store for $2 and I filled it with all Phil's baby shoes
• Vintage fabric: with happy little animals, I purchased from In with the Old at the Clover Market. It became the curtains and cushion for a mini mid century chair we picked up at a thrift store.
Thanks Phil & Colleen! Readers, Colleen also has a vintage-focused Etsy store, Poppy & Bean for you to check out.

Our ancestors have been honoring summer solstice, through rituals and celebrations, in many different forms – why wouldn't they right? Who doesn't love summertime? So why not do something symbolic this year at your home to celebrate the first official day of summer that honors the sun, the earth and the fire within us. Here are 6 ideas for a 2014 summer solstice home celebration all incorporating symbolic items associated with this event:
- In the morning set out a pitcher of water filled with your favorite herbs and let the sun do its work. Here's a herbal recipe for some solar tea.
- Host a pot luck dinner with a backyard bonfire. Invite your friends and family for a solstice celebration and be sure to sing and dance around the fire with those you love. Have some yellow or orange flowers on hand for everyone to toss into the fire reminding us that spring has past and summer is here.
- If the weather isn't cooperating, light some candles (or even the fireplace) as a symbolic gesture of inviting the sun's energy into your home. While you're lighting things, might as well burn some incense (or essential oils) of frankincense, juniper or rosemary.
- Get the kids involved in making a flower mandala in the center of your home (which in Feng Shui is the health center). If you don't have flowers in the yard, pick up a mixed bouquet at the grocery store. Try to narrow the colors to yellow, orange and red.
- When the sun is at its height on Saturday preform the Sun Salutation yoga sequence in your backyard.
- Whip up some delicious summer dishes like a watermelon ricotta salata salad or a simple caprese salad with basil and tomatoes from your garden or a strawberry rhubarb mint cobbler.

So far, it's been a breakthrough year for hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment, with many new drugs coming into the spotlight as more effective and safer options to treat and cure HCV, which until recently required 12 weeks or more of weekly injections that didn't always cure the infection. Here's an overview of some of the top studies that have come out thus far in 2014.
Researchers saw 95%-100% HCV cure rates, using a six-week course of three oral medications, in a study presented by Anita Kohli, M.D., at the 21st Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2014). Participants were assigned to one of the three study arms: dual therapy with sofosbuvir (Sovaldi)/ledipasvir for 12 weeks, or sofosbuvir/ledipasvir plus either GS-9669 (a non-nucleoside NS5B site 2 polymerase inhibitor) or GS-9451 (an NS3 protease inhibitor) for six weeks.
The 12-week post-treatment sustained virological response (SVR12) rate, which is a measure of treatment success, was between 95% (for those taking sofosbuvir/ledipasvir and GS-9669) and 100% (in the two other arms).
"This short duration, simple therapy for HCV may prove relevant for the global elimination of hepatitis C, where uncomplicated, well-tolerated therapy is required to ensure adherence and minimize health care expenditures," the researchers concluded. Future studies will evaluate the effectiveness of a four-week regimen of three oral drugs.
At least 99% of previously untreated people with genotype-1b HCV infection (the most common type of HCV) were cured, after undergoing a 12-week course of three direct-acting antivirals, according to a study presented by Rajender Reddy, M.D., at CROI 2014.
The study, known as PEARL III, followed 419 treatment-naive patients with HCV genotype 1b, who all received the triple-drug, fixed-dose combination known as 3D for 12 weeks and were randomized to also receive either ribavirin (210 patients) or a placebo (209 patients).
Using the cure measure of SVR12, over 99% of participants in both arms were cured. Additionally, treatment was well tolerated and there were no discontinuations due to adverse events. The researchers concluded that a 12-week course of 3D is highly safe and effective for patients living with genotype-1b HCV. AbbVie, the company behind the drug, submitted 3D to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for approval on April 22.
An all-oral regimen of daclatasvir, asunaprevir and BMS-791325, led to SVR12 rates of over 90% for previously untreated HCV patients with genotype 1a, one of the hardest-to-treat subtypes of HCV, according to a study presented at CROI 2014.
The study followed 166 patients who were randomized to receive 30 mg of daclatasvir, 200 mg of asunaprevir, and either 75 mg or 150 mg of BMS-791325, all taken twice-daily for 12 weeks. "For people with HCV subtype 1a, the SVR12 rate was 91% using either the 75 mg or 150 mg BMS-791325 dose; for people with subtype 1b, SVR12 rates were 100% and 94%, respectively," as reported by HIVandHepatitis.com.
The regimen was generally safe and well tolerated and is now being studied in phase-3 trials as a fixed-dose coformulation. Daclatasvir is also being studied in people living with HIV/HCV coinfection.

The last time the Ravens met the Cincinnati Bengals, Cincinnati cornerback Leon Hall was on injured reserve, Chris Crocker was the starting strong safety, and Terence Newman and Jason Allen were earning paychecks in Texas.
When the AFC North rivals open their season Monday night at M&T Bank Stadium, the Ravens will introduce themselves to a retooled Bengals secondary.
Hall is back from a torn Achilles tendon that sidelined him for the final eight games of 2011, Crocker has been replaced by Taylor Mays, and Newman and Allen were signed in the offseason from the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans, respectively.
Add a pair of starters in cornerback Nate Clements and free...

Pants on the Ground part 2 by Angel Perkins
"Pants on the ground, pants on the ground, lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground."
I've noticed that sagging pants on young men are often at different levels.
What does it mean if the jeans are just under your cheeks or just slightly above them? To further confuse me, I've seen them wearing the waistlines at their mid thigh — WITH A BELT around them.
I mean, really — it can't be comfortable. If they are all about trying to act like a rapper, a tough guy, maybe even a bad guy that the law might look a little closer at, why would they want the wear them that way? Do you want to tell the world you are a potential, if not seasoned criminal? You surely can't run very fast when your pants are trapping your legs and bunching up under your feet.
I'd honestly love for some survey group to research how many inmates had been incarcerated because they weren't capable of getting away from police because of their pants.
And on that note: I know male teenagers don't like looking into history or doing research themselves — there is just NOT enough time for video games, girls, and hanging with the boys — because if they did have time to check out WHY the style originated in prisons (because prisoners aren't allowed belts, even ties on their pants, because they can be used to kill themselves or someone else, and guards aren't too concerned about how well their wards' clothing fits, and because the pants hanging off their rear-end represented an invitation for the otherwise unsavory intimacies) they would certainly pull their pants up or wear a belt.
I personally can get over the annoyance of having to look at the young men who wear their clothing this way because of three things: One — they just really look silly and that amuses me; two — and I can still recall my son's voice at about 4 years of age when he looked at a young man in line somewhere and commented with concern and compassion (thinking in his simple little mind that the poor teen either didn't have a mother or was too poor to afford appropriate-sized clothing) and commented sadly, "That boy needs some clothes that fit him, Mom."
The third, final and most impressionable thing to me, that makes seeing this style on young men bearable, is another memory.
One summer day I waited in my car to pull out of an alley because a teenager was approaching on his skateboard. He was a typical adolescent : Long hair topped with a stocking cap, a white "wife-beater" tank top, and his baggy pants hanging about half-way down his hind-end, boxers waving from the top. Patiently waiting for him to pass and with nothing much else to look at, I was pondering how hard it might be to skateboard when you couldn't spread open your legs very much to push off the ground … and … how long did it take the typical teen to master that? I was thinking that I've seen dozens of professional skateboarders (I'm a closet X-Games fan) and they all wore well-fitting clothing — certainly well-fitted enough that they could comfortably move their legs without losing their drawers.
I was thinking that he didn't look like a tough kid, a true "gangsta" so the style with his young, impish face was a totally illogical style presentation — no matter how many tattoos or piercings he might have or get in the future, that baby face would never do him tough-guy credit … and then it happened.
The Powers That Be smiled upon me and gave me something that will be with me until my End of Days.
The exact moment his skateboard rolled past my front bumper, something (a rock, crack, bottle cap, or maybe nothing at all) halted his slide and he shot off the deck and landed on all fours — rather ungracefully I might add. Like a trooper he quickly righted himself and his board and wheeled off as he snuck a glance in my direction. I don't think he saw me though, because he didn't instantly disappear in a puff of smoke and I'm pretty sure if he had seen my wide eyes and lips open in the true surprised "O" position, he would've died on the spot.
I know I almost did from the laughing alone.

Forest, The (US - DVD R1)
Gabe was expecting violent murder in the forest, instead he found a nice nap...
Here I go with yet another Code Red b-roll slasher review. The Forest (aka: Terror in the Forest) is one of the most boring and relatively bloodless subgenre features I've ever seen. The basic filmmaking skill on display is actually slightly above what's normally expected, and the actors are sort of decent for an amateur production, but without an interesting hook, plot, or decent scare there isn't much to suggest the film to anyone that isn't positively obsessed with seeing every picture the subgenre has to offer.
It's actually pretty easy to deal with an outwardly awful slasher, like say Don't Go in the Woods…Alone, which I just reviewed, because laughing at movies can be just as fun as laughing with them. The Forest isn't really any good, but it also isn't enjoyably bad save two or three ridiculous scenes, and a whole lot of likely unintended homoeroticism.
The homoerotic tension between lead males Steve and Charlie is so taught you could cut it with a butter knife. Seriously, just about every word out of their mouths strikes as a double entendre. Steve's moustache doesn't help. I mean, the plot involves two dudes trying to take a camping trip away from their harpy wives. And speaking of, the wives don't exactly scream heterosexual either. I don't think my mind is too far into the gutter here, no.
There is one glorious scene in the middle of the movie that explores untouched realms of 'so bad it's goodness'. John the cannibal recalls his history and tells an awesome story. First he attacks his wife's lover (Carl the hot water heater repair guy) and begins a chase. Carl tosses a petrol bottle at John to slow him down, which cues a lively bebop score. Lover boy runs around the house, where he and his get-away music stop at the site of John holding a giant saw. How did John possibly get around the house so quickly? Well never mind, because Carl dodges the saw, and continues running, as does his music. Then John reappears again with giant rusty pitchfork. Seriously, how did he get back in front of the guy? No matter, after a brief struggle (pitchfork versus children's bike) Carl is off again, only to turn a corner into John waiting by a giant table saw (?). The whole bland mess may very well be worth a look for this one scene.
Unfortunately, even this absurdly funny sequence is relatively bloodless, and that's the biggest crime. We don't watch slashers for their dramatic intricacies or family dynamics, we watch them for the nubile, naked teens and the gallons of socially irresponsible gore. Or at least I do. Maybe I shouldn't speak for other people.
Code Red presents The Forest in an anamorphically enhanced 1.85:1 aspect ratio, though everything seems ever so slightly stretched in frame. I'm thinking that the original ratio was something closer to 1.66:1, but this little lapse isn't so obvious as to make the film hard to watch (the actors take care of that problem *rim shot*). The overall frame is a bit dark and murky, and details aren't exactly breathtaking, but it's likely the best the flick has ever looked on screen. Blacks are deep enough, and mostly free of compression artefacts (though some dark edges are a little jagged, but colours aren't particularly bright or vibrant, and there is some minor cross colouration.
I love this abstract electronic score. It starts out pretty goofy, and I'm not sure what these composers (there were two of them) had in mind, but once you stop over thinking it, it's sort of ingeniously abstract. It's also really loud on the track, though fortunately the terrible easy listening rock that the characters listen to is much softer, though the semi-narrative theme songs are positively hilarious. Most of the dialogue is well centred for a two channel mono track, but it's all recorded at pretty much the exact same volume level, except some scenes towards the end when I couldn't hear anything. The 'ghost' voices have an annoying echo effect that sort of saturates everything else, and sound effects suffer a flange effect or are almost entirely muted in some scenes. The whole track's compression level also seems to be set too high because everything tops out at a pretty low volume level.
The disc is adorned with two commentary tracks, one with director Don Jones and DP Stuart Asbjornsen, moderated by writer Greg Goodsell (sp?), and the other with Jones and actor Gary Kent. Goodsell manages to keep Jones and Asbjornsen on track by continually asking questions, and Kent does a decent job of pumping Goodsell for information during their track. Unfortunately the two tracks repeat each other quite a bit, and I can't necessarily suggest one over the other, they both have their merits and drawbacks. Both tracks really slow down after about forty-five minutes, and all commentators spend too much time describing what we see on screen.
Also included are a series of shot on video interviews with Kent, Asbjornsen and Jones, which are cut together with film footage, a trailer, a gallery of other Code Red trailers, and a photo gallery (including various video box art and posters).
Meh, this one's not so hot. I'm happy new imprint Code Red has carved a niche for themselves with these rare and previously unavailable slasher flicks, and a few real clunkers are to be expected. I hope future releases feature making of documentaries like that found on the Don't Go in the Woods…Alone disc, but if the movie isn't any good who wants to sit through a bunch of extra features anyway, right?

Because of huge acquisitions like Facebook's billion dollar purchase of Instagram, it's easy to assume all tech companies are making a ton of cash. And so it may bewilder you to find out many popular web-based services are not turning a profit. There are also many online services that are earning money — some we did not expect at all — but we'll get to that later.
If tech industry funding is something that interests you, How Do They Make Money can answer quite a few questions for you. The site lists a large number of different companies like Facebook, Tumblr, Pandora, and Netflix. When you click on one, a window pops up containing funding information. On the left-hand side it shows whether a web service is profitable or not and the information on the right gives examples of how it is funded. These money-making methods include things like advertising, subscribers, and selling data, among others. If one long list seems overwhelming, How Do They Make Money lets you filter choices by service or revenue type.
For instance, Dropbox is listed as "profitable" by offering paid subscriptions and freemium content. Instagram is apparently not profitable, but the following clarification is included: "Before selling to Facebook they were not making money."
Spotify is not profitable either, despite offering advertising and paid subscriptions as part of its service. Competitor, Rdio, is also listed as not profitable. It's extremely odd considering Instapaper is allegedly profitable through advertising and subscriptions. If an offline reading application, which has many free alternatives, can turn a profit then why can't a music streaming service?
One drawback to the site — and it's a pretty big one — is that it doesn't provide sources for the financial information listed. Actual earning numbers are omitted as well, only giving a thumbs up or down to indicate profitability but never listing how much money is brought in. This makes it difficult to take anything on the site without a considerable amount of salt. Unfortunately, if you're after cold, hard facts and solid numbers then you'll need to look elsewhere.
But despite the lack of transparency with its data, How Do They Make Money is still worth checking out. It certainly made us look at the free services we use in a different light. It's unbelievable so much hard work and dedication can go into a product that may never make a dime.
Did any companies on the list surprise you? Maybe we were shocked by the same ones!

Today's HOW TO tip is a quick, but useful one.
If you're unsure whether you cookware or dishes are microwave-safe, put them in the microwave with a cup of water next to it and nuke it for 1 minute.
If the cookware or dishes become hot and the water stays cool, don't use them. Simple as that.
(Just so you know, baby bottles and baby food jars should never be microwaved.)
Happy Friday!

Members of the category-defying band NRBQ knew from the outset that their prospects of mainstream success were slim to none.
With a sound and attitude that embraced the seminal rock of
and no-borders expanse of free-form jazz experimentalist Sun Ra, the invigorating dance rhythms of zydeco kingpin Boozoo Chavis and dreamy multilayered pop of
, the quartet spent the '70s, '80s and '90s recording and touring chiefly for the reward of accolades from fellow musicians including
, as well as from a coterie of devoted fans scattered across the planet.
The group's anything-goes-and-usually-does approach was what first caught the ear of 15-year-old drummer Tom Ardolino, who sent a fan letter to keyboardist Terry Adams after catching one of the group's shows in Springfield, Mass. In 1974, Adams invited him to join the group when drummer Tom Staley quit.
Ardolino spent the next few decades providing nimble, propulsive backbeats for bandmates Adams, guitarist Al Anderson and bassist Joey Spampinato until health issues forced him to quit touring. Those problems contributed to his death Friday at age 56 from
-related illness.
"Tommy deserves an entire wing in the
," Raitt told the Boston Globe last year. "There's [
, and there's Tom Ardolino. That's it."
During NRBQ's relentless touring schedule — they often logged 250 shows a year — Ardolino projected the image of the world's happiest bus driver. Under a mass of long, black curly hair and peering out from behind a grizzly beard and mustache, Ardolino bounced atop the stool of his drum kit as he pounded out sultry shuffles, effervescent swing beats, insistent rock and slinky R&B pulses, country two-steps or intricate jazz polyrhythms that anchored his fellow players' flights of musical fancy.
"Between 1974 and whenever I left that band, I can tell you that that was the baddest-ass rhythm section that ever lived," Anderson told the Boston Globe, referring to the Ardolino-Spampinato half of the group that Anderson left in 1994. "NRBQ was kind of destined not to make it big because critics and radio couldn't put a name on it. But we were so great because we were playing 250 nights a year, and we started thinking with one mind."
Ardolino was born Jan. 12, 1955, and was a teenage amateur drummer in Springfield when he got a call from Adams after Staley decided to bow out.
"I was ready," Ardolino told the Baton Rouge (Louisiana) Advocate in 1999, when the band was on a 30th anniversary tour. "My problem was I had to learn to play for like a whole set long, and [to play] harder, because I was used to playing with records, which was soft."
Responding to the moment was NRBQ's calling card in concert, a trait that rarely translates into commercial success, which typically requires steady predictability.
NRBQ could never be easily pigeonholed, and therefore handily marketed, so only three of the group's albums ever charted, in the lower reaches of Billboard's Top 200 Albums rankings. Their 1969 debut "NRBQ," which originally stood for New Rhythm & Blues Quintet, and their 1990 album "Wild Weekend" are among the group's best-known recordings.
"We get disappointed sometimes, and we don't understand," Ardolino told The Times in 1992. "One of our old record labels sent us a statement once claiming the total sales of one of our albums was three cassettes. But it ain't gonna stop us. Besides, I think we have a great life. We get to play whatever we want, and we got to meet a lot of great people. I know all the good record stores in every town."
After the band went on hiatus about a decade ago, Ardolino released a solo album, "Unknown Brain." Adams resurrected NRBQ in recent years and has continued touring and recording, with himself as the only remaining original member.
Elvis Costello once told Rolling Stone, "I'd much rather any day go see NRBQ playing than any of our illustrious punk bands in England."
Ardolino's alcoholism progressed in recent years, according to the Boston Globe, and he was hospitalized in November. He died at Kindred Hospital in Springfield, Mass., the newspaper reported.
He was separated from his wife, Keiko, with whom he had a stepdaughter, Emiko, and a stepson, Liku. He is also survived by his brother, Richard.

Washington Library Association Chapter Councilor Report Ann2007
Washington Library Association
Chapter Councilor's Report on American Library Association Annual Conference June 22-27, 2007
Jonathan Betz-Zall, Highline Community College & ecolibrarian, email@example.com
ALA is the nation's largest and most powerful library assocation, with more than 60,000 members. The annual conference held in Washington DC reflected this power in its emphasis on advocacy, not only for library funding but for other library priorities. Being held in a heavily populated center of power, it also attracted over 28,000 registrants, a new record. As is usual, internal matters occupied a large proportion of the governing Council's attention but few policy oriented resolutions were brought forward so there was no slighting of advocacy. Internal improvements include new attention being paid to electronic participation in ALA activity and other emphasis on serving members.
The primary advocacy activity this year was "Library Day on the Hill" on Tuesday, June 26. Almost 2000 library supporters, supported by a parade of bookmobiles from around the country, donned flaming red T-shirts lettered "Support Libraries" and flooded their representatives' offices with leaflets on a laundry list of library issues. These included
- appropriations for LSTA and the Literacy through School Libraries program,
- including school librarians as "highly qualified" personnel in the reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind act,
- loan forgiveness for librarians who work in low-income situations,
- various telecommunications and e-rate issues,
- copyright,
- strengthening the Freedom of Information Act,
- making taxpayer-funded scientific research available to the public,
- addressing privacy issues in the REAL ID act,
- restricting the use of National Security Letters,
- supporting Federal Libraries.
I personally visited the offices of both of our senators and two representatives: Smith and McDermott.
Council adopted advocacy-oriented resolutions:
- Fully funding the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program
- Reaffirming commitment to vital Government Printing Office and Federal Depository Library Program services and collections and calling for full funding of appropriations
- Calling for fully funding for National Library Service to convert talking books to digital formats (note: this was left out of the leaflets distributed on the Hill, so needs special efforts from the grassroots
- Supporting the SKILLS Act to amend the No Child Left Behind Act now in the reauthorization process to include School Library Media Specialists as "highly qualified", require school districts to employ SLMS, and use federal funds to recruit and train SLMS.
- Condemning the use of National Security Letters to obtain library records and calling for related legislative reforms.
There was some heated discussion of the tenor of a letter proposed to be sent to the Government Printing Office supporting a new plan to reorganize the Federal Depository Library System. Government documents librarians and others are concerned about a possible loss of control of the process by those most closely concerned with it, but the letter of comment from ALA's Washington Office seemed too "plain vanilla", too heavily compromised, implying agreement with the concept being proposed by the Bush Administration. As a result, Council directed the WO not to send the letter.
The report from the Freedom to Read Foundation announced a significant loss for student free speech in the "Bong Hits for Jesus" Supreme Court decision, and mentioned the lawsuit against the North Central Regional Library's internet filtering policy.
The Intellectual Freedom Committee reported that its Fostering Media Diversity subcommittee completed a guideline on "Fostering Media Diversity in Libraries: Strategies and Actions", a privacy conference is being organized for spring 2008, a new revision of the Intellectual Freedom manual is underway, and there will be a new guide for Banned Books Week along with a celebrity "Read Out" in Chicago.
Professional Matters
Council adopted resolutions:
- Adopting Principles for Digital Content: values, intellectual property rights, sustainable collections, collaboration, advocacy, international scope, continuous learning, preservation, and standards.
- Encouraging libraries engaging in digitization projects to adopt Section 508 regulations to ensure that their products are accessible to persons using screen-readers or other assistive technologies.
The Conference also included a special "conference within a conference" primarily for "support staff" (paraprofessionals) to help them feel more empowered in the profession, corresponding to WLA's WALE conference.
The Association for Library Service reported that it no longer lists the Boy Scouts of America, which actively distriminates against gay people, as an affiliated organization on its website.
The Catholic Library Association changed its bylaws to emphasize ecumenical resource sharing, so ALA restored its affiliation.
The ALA Allied Professional Association's report listed considerable activity: the online Library Worklife newsletter, two major salary surveys, and certification of public library administrators.APA received a federal grant to roll out a support staff certification program. Since staff reported increasing income, expecting to begin paying back the seed money borrowed from ALA, Council adopted a budget that some called exceedingly optimistic.
Internal Issues
ALA's strategic plan stresses collaboration, creativity and involvement from all members, with programmatic priorities: diversity, literacy, IF, equity of access, education, organizational excellence
The key funding areas for 2008 are:
- expansion of advocacy
- maintain publications
- expand Continuing Education
- fund technology, building & improvement
Advocacy An increasing focus on legislation and government action includes advocacy programs at local and state levels as well as national, building relationships among the ALAWashington Office, chapters, and FOLUSA. The Office for Library Advocacy has been established and staffed to create a more unified approach to advocacy. A new website, http://www.ilovelibraries.org has been set up as another strategy.
Education A symposium on serving Young Adults, the empowerment conference within the annual conference, and accreditation efforts were all mentioned. Public Policy & standards: Divisions have been at work: ACRL with Information Literacy competencies and the American Association of School Librarians with learning standards. Building the profession: The Library Administration and Management Association has begun a mentoring program, President Berger's Emerging Leaders program is being integrated into Human Resource Development and Recruitment's program, and the conference placement service is being integrated with the online JobLIST service.
Membership Major efforts to improve ALA's website, with a survey at conference to gauge reaction to some proposed changes. Also being planned are a social networking website and increased marketing
Organizational Excellence ALA administration is conducting research on a new financial system, evaluating the association's management system, and assisting the American Library Trustee Association's restructuring. ALA needs to increase our revenue streams and invest in technology; we can't continue to rely on conferences, publications and graphics but must branch out. Electronic systems are very expensive to develop and maintain, and improved Continuing Education technology [online learning] can depress income from publishing and conferences. As a result the Treasurer expects 300,000 less revenue than last year. The dues increase is expected to bring in an extra 400,000. ALA has lost only 1% of members as a result; we had expected 4%. The funds that support the Spectrum scholarships are doing well, so the treasurer proposed that the Executive Board increase the number of scholarships. Total Budgetary Ceiling of $60.5 million was adopted, after a councilor asked what energy saving measures ALA has taken. The Endowment Trustees reported that the endowment now exceeds $30 million. They look forward to having $50 million so that they will be able to diversify the portfolio more. The current portfolio brings in $600,000, of which half goes to scholarships. The socially responsible investment (SRI) Ariel Fund is still doing well, but trustees wanted a more actively managed fund so invested 250,000 in Blackrock, for a total of 540,000 in SRI.
There were two membership meetings plus a "forum" for people to say anything they wanted. No resolutions were proposed, but a number of members complained about difficulties with finding housing, program conflicts, crowding for "superstar" events, finding their way around, etc. At subsequent Council meetings there was major debate on whether membership meetings should concentrate on resolutions after other components to draw more attendance.
The Committee on Organization proposed several reforms, requiring members of the Chapter Relations Committee to be members of a chapter or divisional affiliate, expanding electronic participation in ALA, implementing tools to do so, and establishing a task force to adapt association policy on effective practices, by Midwinter 2009.

June 1944
A freakish tornado struck the Santa Fe County Club, Marceline, about 2 o'clock Monday afternoon. The roof of the south porch was blown off and part of it knocked a hole in the roof of the bathroom. The high wind moved the bathhouse off its foundation and into the water. The roof on the women's side of the bathhouse was punctured by the roof blown off the south porch.

Congress to consider radio royalties for artists
A new bill would give artists performance royalties whenever their songs are played on traditional radio.
The decades-old debate about how royalties should be paid when a song plays on the radio has re-emerged, with Congress taking up the issue and record labels breaking new ground by striking private deals with broadcast companies.
The battlefront is in Nashville, where performers, labels, songwriters, publishers and radio stations accustomed to working side-by-side have renewed their disagreement. And it comes against the backdrop of Warner Music announcing a breakthrough deal last week to collect royalties when its artists have a song played on one of Clear Channel's 850 radio stations.
At stake are tens of millions of dollars in performance royalties that federal law exempts broadcast companies from paying to artists and labels for songs broadcast on terrestrial radio. Those payments go exclusively to the songwriters and publishers, as has been the arrangement for decades.
But U.S. Rep. Mel Watt, D-N.C., said the time for change has come. He plans to file legislation soon that would recognize performance royalties for artists and require broadcast companies to negotiate royalty arrangements with labels. In 2009, Watt and others in Congress pushed the Performance Rights Act, which would have mandated a new royalty for artists and labels when a song is played on traditional radio.
The 2009 bill cleared the House Judiciary Committee, but never reached a floor vote over pushback against that mandate. In response, Watt said his new bill instead would recognize performance royalty rights and require broadcast companies and labels to work out their own arrangements over royalty payments.
"I've felt that it was unfair for AM/FM stations to use the works of artists to make money for themselves without paying the artists whose stuff they're using," Watt said. "I was on the original bill that did not move several years ago. Part of it had to do with the fact (broadcasters) thought the compensation structure proposed in the bill was not fair or onerous. And I said, 'Well, OK, maybe it would be better if you all just go out and work among yourselves.' "
As it turns out, this is already happening. Big Machine Records, home to country music superstars Taylor Swift, Tim McGraw and Rascal Flatts, was at the forefront, agreeing to a performance royalty deal with Clear Channel in 2012, and more recently reaching agreements with other broadcast companies. The deal between Warner Music and Clear Channel that came to light last week is truly groundbreaking, because it is the first involving one of the three major labels.
Radio resistance
Despite the private market starting to move in this direction, the radio industry stands in staunch opposition to Watt's efforts. They say artists and labels effectively receive free promotion when their song is broadcast, and this marketing leads to consumers buying albums, concert tickets and merchandise.
Whit Adamson, president of the Tennessee Association of Broadcasters, worried that Congress legislating a new royalty would lead to smaller radio stations either shuttering or choosing to change their format.
"It has a profound impact on our industry overall, if it were to come to pass," said Dennis Gwiazdon, Nashville vice president and general manager for South Central Media, which owns Mix 92.9 and JACK-FM 96.3. "The major concern centers around the amount of the fees that are involved here and how that could potentially alter the radio landscape, potentially for music stations, who if they felt the fees were onerous to the extent they didn't want to pay them, might go to a spoken-word format."
Democratic U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper of Nashville said he was sympathetic to the financial challenges facing smaller, independent stations. Cooper said he proposed such stations pay a very small royalty fee under the 2009 bill.
But Cooper added that it behooves Congress to act despite the private deals being struck because U.S. artists and labels are missing out on foreign performance royalties. Cooper said lawmakers are leery about taking money out of the pockets of broadcast companies because there's a radio station in every congressional district. And unlike his Nashville-area constituency, there's not the presence of professional songwriters and musicians in every district.
"The issue has been gridlocked for years, primarily due to the political power of the broadcasters," he said. "This is ironic and it's tragic, because there is a European fund that is waiting to distribute money to American artists. But they won't distribute that money unless we acknowledge a performance right."
Changing media
The question is muddied by the emergence of Internet radio, which does pay out a royalty to artists and labels. In fact, the deals between Clear Channel and the record labels include the trade-off of paying out terrestrial radio royalties on the bet that digital royalties will continue to grow in the coming years.
"I think the debate has heated up in light of the transition from the purchase of CDs as the dominant medium of music consumption, to a move and expansion into new forms of media such as streaming, satellite radio, webcasting and so on," said Denise Stevens, senior counsel at the Nashville office of Loeb & Loeb, which specializes in entertainment law. "And when people look at digital broadcasters, who have an obligation to pay royalties, they see a discrepancy."
Last year, SoundExchange, the nonprofit group that collects and distributes royalties for Internet radio plays, paid out $462 million in digital royalties last year.
Take Luke Bryan's 2012 hit song "Drunk on You," which has 223,889 spins on terrestrial radio and has been streamed 24.9 million times according to research provided by Nielsen BDS. Bryan and his record label Capitol Records were not legally entitled to the royalties generated by his radio airplay.
In a 2012 letter to Congress, the National Music Publishers' Association, Nashville Songwriters Association International and the Church Music Publishers Association stated that 92 cents of every dollar paid in digital royalties goes to labels and artists while 8 cents goes to publishers and songwriters.
David Macias, president of Nashville independent record label Thirty Tigers, worried that the trend of agreements between broadcast companies and record labels could have a chilling effect on independent music if the radio stations are more inclined to play songs produced by labels with which they have business deals. He said he supported Watt's pursuit of a law.
"It's a win-win for Warner and for the radio chain, but competition loses," Macias said.

Back in May, Fordham published Expanding the Education Universe: A Fifty-State Strategy for Course Choice, where we explained the idea of "course access," a system that greatly expands learning options by allowing students to take courses from a number of organizations at once. The brief also provided options for policymakers to consider, including funding, provider and student eligibility, and accountability.
ExcelinEd has now released a white paper, Leading in an Era of Change, which discusses the recent development of these policies in a number of states and summarizes key design principles for future expansion. Where Fordham's brief laid out the various specific paths a state might take in policy creation, ExcelinEd's paper functions as a list of essential dos and don'ts, answering questions about how to ensure quality providers, engagement with stakeholders, and more. Still, the brief rightly leavers the specific design up to states and districts themselves. Taken together, these two reports act as a guidebook for expanding course availability and student choice in local schools.
As Jeb Bush writes in his foreword to the report, "having a high-quality education must no longer depend on location…the international stakes are too...
As most states' legislative sessions wind down for the year, it's not too early to ask how school choice has been faring, particularly when compared with the remarkable gains around the country during the past several years.
Here's a rundown, in case you haven't been paying attention:
Why all of that activity? Much of it can be traced to the Republicans' wave election in 2010, which made the state-level political environment considerably friendlier to charter schools, vouchers, and other forms of parental choice. Republicans gained nearly 700 legislative seats that year, giving them control over more seats than at any time since 1928. They also gained a net of six governors' offices. Then they maintained most of this edge in...
Last week, the Wisconsin Reporter reported that the United States Department of Justice is still conducting an "ongoing investigation" into whether Wisconsin's private-school choice program discriminates against children with disabilities and, as a result, violates federal disability law.
In 2011, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a complaint with the Justice Department accusing the Wisconsin school-choice program—as well as two private schools in the program—of discriminating against children with disabilities. In April 2013, the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department sent a letter and legal memo to the state of Wisconsin accusing the school-choice program of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). They concluded that unless Wisconsin drastically changes its choice program, the United States will take legal action.
Among its numerous demands, the Justice Department wants private choice schools to be forced to adjust their programming to accommodate all children with disabilities, so long as the accommodation does not "fundamentally alter" the school (an extremely onerous legal standard). Federal disability law, as traditionally interpreted by the U.S. Department of Education, applies a different, less exacting standard to private schools in the choice program. Private schools must only make...
"Quiet dedication" is the most apt description of the staff and administration of United Schools Network, a group of three (soon to be four) charter schools in Columbus. Dedication to hard work and excellence; dedication to innovation and achievement. And that applies to the adults just as much as it does to the students.
What is now Columbus Collegiate Academy – Main began operation in August 2008 with 57 students in rented space in a church building. Hardly ideal circumstances for fostering a revolution in education, but that inaugural class outperformed every other Columbus middle school (district and charter) in math that year.
CCA's early success was a harbinger of things to come. Led by Andrew Boy (a prestigious Building Excellent Schools fellow) and his team, the school turned that one initial class of students into a network of schools that is strong and growing. As it has grown, it has maintained its dedication to underserved Columbus neighborhoods and through its success has garnered the support and respect of community leaders and business professionals.
CCA and the United School Network's recognition and awards include:
DECA Prep is a second-year public charter school in Dayton, Ohio, currently serving students in grades K–3 and 6. A grade will be added each year until the school serves grades K–6. It has an open, first-come, first-served enrollment process. Its early results have been impressive: after one year of operations, 97 percent of its third grades are reading at or above grade level.
Science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) experiences are essential components of DECA Prep's education curriculum. Its faculty utilizes a continuum of labs and experiments to maximize the relationships between math and science teaching. In class every day, teachers emphasize vocabulary building, informational text, and the use of graphics in observation and lab activities to ease the understanding of complex STEM concepts. In addition, students have access to a science lab classroom.
This commitment to innovation and excellence has not gone unnoticed. The school itself was created with help from a Race to the Top award to its sister school, the Dayton...
Village Preparatory School: Woodland Hills Campus (VPWH) is located in the Kinsman-Woodland Hills area of Cleveland and serves about 300 students in grades K–3. VPWH is a part of the incredibly successful Breakthrough Schools network. Even with its early successes, recent events are pointing VPWH and Breakthrough Schools toward an even brighter future.
First, VPWH has hired Fran Trujillo as the head of school. Fran joined VPWH at the end of 2013, having recently led a pre-K–8 grade charter school in New Orleans. Fran has over thirty years of experience as an educator and over twenty years of experience as a head of school. Drawing from her vast experience, Fran embraces the importance of partnerships in learning. Fran passionately shares the Breakthrough philosophy that scholars grow and learn when their families and the school develop close partnerships.
In addition, the high-performing Breakthrough Network is undertaking an ambitious expansion, known as the "20/20 Plan." The plan calls for Breakthrough to open more new schools to bring its network to twenty schools serving over 7,000 students by 2020. The bold plan has plenty of support from various parties, such as the Cleveland Metropolitan School District (CMSD),...
Columbus is the proud home to the Buckeye State's lone KIPP charter school. Serving mainly poor and minority students from neighborhoods on the city's east side, KIPP has quickly gained notoriety for making a big difference in their students' lives. In fact, last school year, KIPP was ranked in the top 10 percent of schools in the entire state, with respect to its impact on student academic growth (a.k.a. "value added"). KIPP is helping kids who need help the most to achieve educational success.
Under the guiding leadership of its superb board and executive team, KIPP Columbus has ambitious plans to grow, so that it will educate 2,000 students by 2020. (It presently educates roughly 300 students.) It is building a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility that is set to open in August 2014. The facility is located on the site of a former Columbus State Community College golf course and makes every natural amenity—trees, hills, creeks—an integral part of the learning community. This is a part of Columbus many students rarely see, let alone interact with as part of their science and arts education.
KIPP Columbus is part of the national network of KIPP charter...
Phoenix Community Learning Center is in the midst of a structural renaissance. The school, Fordham's only sponsored school in Cincinnati, has plans to expand their current school building, which would eventually add three classrooms and a media center. The improvements will be done to the basement level, wherein the total additional square footage will top 14,000 square feet. The additional space will also allow the lower grades to occupy the lower level of the building, while the upper grades occupy the upper levels of the school building.
Phoenix serves pupils in grades K–8 and is located in the Avondale community of Greater Cincinnati. Founded in 2001, it is a stalwart in its community and has seen its graduates move on to prestigious public and private high schools.
A strong expansion plan supports a growing enrollment trend at the school during the past two years, under the long-standing leadership of Superintendent Dr. Glenda Brown and School Leader Dr. Elaine Wilson. When implemented, the plan also envisions total enrollment well over four hundred pupils.
Charter school growth is one thing, but growth in a high-performing charter school is a cause for celebration, most notably for the students, their families, and...
As noted in our intro blog to this week's series on National Charter Schools Week, no two charter schools are alike. An excellent case in point is the two charter schools that Fordham sponsors in the Southern Ohio town of Sciotoville. In 2008, the existing schools in Sciotoville were traditional district schools in an area of the state hit hard by economic decline, but officials at the district took the bold step to convert their entire district into charter schools, severing some historic ties for families but maintaining many others. Sciotoville Elementary Academy is unique in a number of respects and is perhaps most indicative of administrators' hopes for the future.
Sciotoville Elementary Academy (SEA) was the second-highest-performing school by performance index (a state measure of student proficiency) in Fordham's portfolio in 2012–13. Led by Principal Foresta Shope and Superintendent Rick Bowman, the school serves grades K–4; over 80 percent of the students are economically disadvantaged, similar to many of the historical Ohio River communities. In addition to delivering great academic outcomes for students, this school also offers a wealth of activities for students and parents. These include Junior Madrigals, Spelling Bee,...
President Obama signed a Presidential Proclamation naming May 4 through May 10 "National Charter Schools Week." This reflects the growing bipartisan support enjoyed by charter schools across the nation. The widespread support shouldn't be surprising given that there are nearly 6,500 independent charter schools serving more than 2.5 million children—many in our most economically disadvantaged areas.
Ohio's charter growth has mirrored that of the nation, with 367 charter schools (in the 2012–13 school year) serving more than 115,000 students—6.5 percent of the state's students. Unfortunately, there have been some high-profile school closures in the Buckeye State that have led some to question the impact of charter schools. And therein lies the problem.
There is a tendency in public discussion of charter schools to lump all charters together—for praise or for tarring—when, in most cases, no two schools are alike and actively resist reduction to "just another charter" with only a little investigation. True to the idea of experimentation and the quest for innovation that were instrumental in their creation, charter schools in Ohio can be almost anything: arts-centric, "no excuses," STEM-focused, entirely online, or similar to a vocational school.
In honor of National Charter Schools Week, Fordham would...

The U.S. launched its second airstrike in Yemen since foiling an al-Qaida bomb plot earlier this week, killing as many as seven militants, The Washington Post reported.
New details have also emerged about the bomb plot, as officials confirmed that the informant was a British citizen. As an undercover agent, he helped the CIA and its Saudi counterpart infiltrate the terrorist network and turned over a new type of underwear bomb. The Post reports that the operative had been in place for months, and held a British passport.
The airstrike targeted al-Qaida operatives in southern Yemen, at least the 15th U.S. airstrike in the country this year.

I noticed an increase in supply when using MotherLove's More Milk Special Blend and goat's rue capsules. But it seems days I don't use the MMSB, or goat's rue capsules, I don't have enough milk for the baby - he fusses at the breast and wants to nurse all day long, like a grown spurt.
Do you have to use this stuff for the entire nursing relationship?
