Experimental drugs and vaccines poised to take on Ebola
Endgame for outbreak in West Africa might hinge on treatments still under development
Google Earth Pro, © Imagery 2014 NASA, TerraMetrics; adapted by E. Otwell
As the Ebola virus outbreak continues to run amok in West Africa, scientists are looking ahead to the possibly pivotal use of experimental drugs and vaccines against the disease. It will take months to test, produce and deploy the therapies. But researchers hold out hope that these products — even incompletely vetted — might help to turn the tide against an illness that has defied public health efforts to bring it under control.
The treatments' use could engender enough hope to encourage people with symptoms — and their close contacts — to come to hospitals, which researchers say would limit the spread of the lethal virus. Having experimental drugs and especially vaccines in hand could also help in recruiting and maintaining adequate levels of hospital staff, who are at high risk of catching the virus.
Using still-experimental drugs has downsides: Even if the treatments help some patients, it will be hard to determine their true

Slim Goodbody : About Us
Who is Slim Goodbody?
In 1975, John Burstein created the Slim Goodbody character to help him teach healthy living at the Floating Hospital in New York. Five years later, the character exploded on PBS with his first television series, The Inside Story. Today, Slim Goodbody hosts the amazing National Bodyology Tour and now dozens of new characters enhance the full K-8 school curriculum.
Slim Goodbody has entertained children with his unique, exciting and enlightening shows for 30 years. Currently his programs air on over 120 public TV stations nationwide and he has authored more than a dozen children's books. Donning his signature outfit, he educates children by combining humor, music and incredible visuals into an inspiring performance.
How did you come to create Slim?
I had a summer job on board a ship called the Floating Hospital. It's run by a charity. It used to take disadvantaged families for a day's outing around Manhattan. My job was to play music on board. As the ship was involved in health education, I started writing songs about the body and then developed the concept of Slim Goodbody.
What did you do pre-Slim?
I did some acting in NY - way off - Broadway. I studied dance in Belgium, and dramatic literature at University.
Has the bodysuit evolved over the years?
Yes, I've had about a dozen or so. The painting gets better. I've added things like the diaphragm and changed the background colors a bit.
What do you do to stay slim for the bodysuit?
Swim, do aerobics, ride a bike, lift weights and eat right. I try to work out regularly.
Of the various things you've taught kids, which one has the biggest impact?
It's hard to say. My fundamental message is "Your body is full of wonders. That makes you wonderful. Respect and love yourself. You are a miracle". My chief desire is to help children build self-confidence and develop self-respect.
Do you write the songs?
About 80%. I also work with an enormously talented friend, Chris Staudt, who does the arranging and other compositions.
Is being Slim Goodbody your full time career or do you have other projects?
Creating educational programming for children is my full time career. I have created two animated math series - one for kids called Math Monsters, one for teen-agers called X-Power (on algebra). I tour with Symphony orchestras in a young people's concert I created called Symphonasaurus. I also write kids books including a new series of Health books with My Weekly Reader.
Have you tailored what you do in the wake of the reports of childhood obesity?
This has been a growing problem - pardon the pun - for years. I am working on two new shows - "Lighten UP" a series for PBS and a stage show by that same title. I also finished a series of classroom exercises called "Deskercises".
On that topic, how do you address such a subject with sensitivity?
You can't point a finger. You just have to explain key concepts - like calorie in/calorie out, media literacy, 5 a day, etc. and hope the children will put it together.
How did you come to develop Symphonasaurus?
I've always loved classical music. Before this concert I used to do another show with orchestras called A Celebration of Your Self.
Also, what about Math Monsters? It seems like you have a fairly eclectic educational range.
Absolutely. Otherwise boredom would set in. I have learned to enlist the talents of experts to help with the curriculum decisions. My talent is in content delivery.
You've been Slim Goodbody since 1975. Do you ever hear feedback from now grownup students? You're definitely a nostalgic figure to some.
All the time. As I tour the country (about 8 weeks a year) many teachers who were raised with me now bring their kids. I feel honored - not old.

Technology Transformation
The de-clericalization of Library Workers
People working in libraries, especially librarians, should not be scanning books, sticking labels on spines, or labelling books to put on the self-service Holds pickup shelves. They should not be pulling or shelving books. In 99% of the cases, they shouldn't be cataloging either.
1) Central Sorting - provide central sorting for library systems, deliver materials to libraries "Ready To Shelve." Central sorting operations can sort items into two sets of bins for delivery to each library: one set of materials responsive to Hold requests, and the rest is ready to put on the shelves. This can be done with RFID or bar code systems. I estimate you save 2 minutes/Hold request in the processing and returning by having a central sorting system that does the scanning of the item and automatically printing the Holds slip and placing Holds in a separate bin which is then delivered in "Ready to Shelve" condition to both the requesting library and the library that gets their item back. That means, for every 30 Hold requests, you've saved one hour of staff time. If the sorter costs $700,000 (19 bins), it will take 210,000 holds processed to pay for it (as lender or borrower) ROI = One year? 4 years? depending on your "ILL" stats.
2) Library Sorting - book drops automatically check in books and rough sort to bins. Assume $175K per book drop (2) plus sorter (11 bin, $350K. Total investment: $700,000. Assume a savings of 30 seconds per circulation (no scanning of books required, rough sorted to book carts). If annual circulation is 2 million/year, that would save 1 million minutes or 16,666 hours or $166,666. ROI 4 years.
3) Buy preprocessed materials - assume 20,000 titles added. One library told me they spend 1 hour processing every new book, 2 hour per A/V item (on average). If that's true, they are spending $200,000 processing new materials (and they already have a lot of preprocessing done). Rather than paying someone $10/item in preprocessing, pay vendors - save on supplies, supervisory costs and workspace needed for that processor you have on staff.
4) Buy MARC records. Librarian costs $23/hour. What REALLY needs to be done by local staff that will significantly improve that MARC record? Be very selective about which ones a cataloger touches. Perfect is our enemy.
Use Space 'Different'
"Books" are brand but that doesn't create library customers. Many of those people sit at home, order from Amazon while thinking loving thoughts about the library. What happens in the library space is the key to the library's future: creatively using it.
1) ARS: I'll talk about compact shelving and automated retrieval system and how they are cheaper to build and use than browseable book shelves. Allows libraries to make more space for the local history gems (long tail) and the popular stuff (head) they need to have out front because it circulates a lot. Interesting numbers from Univ. of Chicago and Univ of Utah.
2) Clearly defined spaces: suitable spaces for loud potentially raucus gaming tournaments as well as click free zones for boomers nostalgic for the classic library environment, computer areas for kids, different computer areas for seniors, etc.
3) Games, Gaming and Gamers: create community spaces that teens want to be in, create community, show kids they are welcome, play with them (DDR competition to pay off fines). YouTube full of videos showing people having fun in libraries.
Convenience - More and More
People are busy. Gas is expensive. Time is money. People expect quick, easy, efficient service.
1) Single Sign On: make sure your users don't have to login in more than once to use library resources. Shibboleth, Kerberos.... Note to other presenters: one of you might want to tackle this in the context of your website work. I can't speak to specifics. I'm also interested in talking about this more broadly. I've been talking more about this idea of a User Registration much like OCLC's organizational registrar. Would it be nice if we could register ourselves and then use that registered public entity to do our online work?
2) Self Check-In - Everyone does self-check out but not enough are doing self checkin. Talk about how to use automated shelf check in systems to reduce staff work and get books back on the shelves faster and reduce number of interlibrary transfers needed
3) Home Delivery - stop delivering books here and there and then onto the Holds shelf for patron pick up. Drop them in a bag, slap a label on that puppy and let her go. Better for library staff, MUCH better for patrons. Maybe some of those people who think libraries are very nice but never use them will actually START using them.
4) Personal Delivery - campus delivery via Segway. With branding! This book is being rushed to you by your library.....
5) Drive by drop off and drive by pick up. (people with babies in the car, pets, groceries) Allow return items in multiple places (any library, drop boxes at the mall.) Make it easy for people to get in and get out (both those that come into the library and those that don't want to get out of the car)
6) Bring the library to users. Mobile library buses with public computers (Mountain View), visit the senior centers/communities, schools? Other community centers in neighborhoods with no library (who's not getting served - use GIS maps to figure it out)
Taking Control of the Means of Production
1) Open source - examples of open source efforts that have been silently underway including several libraries that have been on Koha for years, gapines.org (that put the issue on the map). These efforts put the control in the hands of the people who will use the end product and who know the patron's needs best.
2) Core Library Staff: the libraries that are doing great things are doing them with very skilled technical staff: programmers, interface specialists, usability experts. These are all librarian jobs. Find and hire people trained as librarians and technology specialists. Every library needs programmers and high end webmasters. Its no longer optional. IT managers need to be IT professionals not the "accidentals." Ensure that technical staff have the certifications that will ensure they know how to use the tools they are using.
LED and LEED
1) Green libraries and LEED
2) Using light emitting diodes for better lighting in the library
Public Access Computing
1) Webware - ThinkFree, Zoho, Google Docs & Spreadsheets; online storage
2) Table 13, Your Computer is Ready. Using plasma screens or personal beepers that allow people to browse until their public computer session is ready.

I got a thing for eye pencils. The latest that caught my eye were Anna Sui's newish waterproof range;
Very pretty, in the Anna Sui way. I choose 900 – Olive Green, 200- Violet and 500 – Brown.
The Olive green is stunning – just stunning. It almost touches black but still looks like a dark metallic olive. The violet pencil makes a change as its not aubergine or plum, its just a true bright purple. It's nice…but not a must have like the olive. Finally the brown shade is interesting – its more of a warm-reddish brown than a cool copper brown yet there are lots of small gold flecks in it – beautiful yes, and quite an unusual brown. I actually thought I had been sent a dark reddish plum by mistake.
They seem very long lasting and do come off on the waterline without much ado. Lovely! You can get these from Ichibankao.

Activists want climate change on presidential debate agenda
Despite a year that has produced unprecedented ice melts in the Arctic and Greenland, a devastating drought across much of the country and hundreds of record high temperatures around the world, the subject of climate change has managed to remain in the deep freezer of presidential politics.
At a small rally in Miami Beach on Thursday, environmentalists took one last longshot at making global warming a meaningful campaign issue — hoping that if freaky global weather wasn't enough, maybe salty Atlantic Ocean percolating up through the sewer grates of one of the state's major tourist destinations might merit at least a question during the final presidential debate on Monday at Lynn University in Boca Raton.
"Nowhere else is the reality of climate change more visible than right here, right now on the corner of 10th and Alton in Miami Beach," said Christie Elles, an outreach associate for the Union of Concerned Scientists, who stood barefoot in ankle deep water along with about 20 activists on the flooded sidewalk next to the Whole Foods parking lot. "This is an issue the next president of the United States will have to address.''
The rally echoed a letter signed by 121 climate scientists, experts and political leaders in Florida, including mayors and commissioners from more than a dozen cities and counties, urging President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney to detail plans for dealing with a threat that will cost the state tens of billions of dollars in coming years.
Though climate change remains a subject of debate in some states, it's already become a costly reality in South Florida. In Miami Beach, for instance, city commissioners are considering a $206 million overhaul of an antiquated drainage system increasingly compromised by rising ocean water.
Sea levels that have risen by eight inches over the last century have slowed the flow of runoff into the bay, producing prolonged flooding in low-lying streets after big storms. During extreme seasonal high tides, like ones this week, the drainage system does the reverse — conveying salty bay water onto streets. The city's plan calls for more pumps, wells to store storm runoff, higher sea walls and "back-flow" preventers to block ocean and bay water from rising into streets.
The concerns aren't confined to Miami Beach. Earlier this year, a report from Climate Central, an independent research and journalism organization, suggested Miami-Dade and Broward counties alone have more people vulnerable to flooding than any state except Florida and Louisiana. Other studies suggest some of the lowest-lying Florida Keys may be the first to be inundated.
Sam Van Leer, president of the Urban Paradise Guild, a Miami-based group focused on restoring native habitat, said the latest projections of accelerating sea rise level could overwhelm engineering fixes in coming decades unless steps are taken to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that fuel global warming.
"The water we're seeing behind us is just the beginning," he said. "It's going to get worse.''
Despite studies suggesting that the pace of warming is increasing, the issue is getting far less attention in 2012 than it did in 2008, when both Obama and his Republican challenger John McCain expressed concerns and endorsed efforts to reduce greenhouse gas. This time around, both campaigns have largely dodged the issue, focusing intensely on the bread-and-butter concerns such as jobs, taxes and the sluggish economy.
Obama has given an occasional nod to the subject, promoting wind and solar power and mentioning climate change in his acceptance speech to the Democratic National Convention and during a campaign event last week in Miami, where he spoke about the threat of rising seas.
"That is not a joke. That is not a hoax. That's our children's future. Folks here in Miami understand that better than anybody," Obama said. "The impact of climate change will be significant on our kids and grandkids unless we take those steps. We cannot just deny our way out of those things."
For Republicans, skepticism about climate science, particularly the role humans have played in climate change, has become a litmus test. Romney has frequently mentioned his uncertainty. In his nomination acceptance speech, he used Obama's lofty 2008 pledge "to slow the rise of the oceans and heal the planet" as a punchline, saying his goal was simply "to help you and your family.''
Lisa Hoyos, co-founder of the Climate Parents, a recently formed California-based advocacy group, blames oil and energy companies for financing campaigns to attack climate science, efforts that have confused the public and given both parties political cover to back expanded oil drilling and coal use over alternative fuels.
Though Monday's debate at Lynn is supposed to be focused on foreign policy, activists argue that the far-reaching implications of climate change, which could shrink food and water supplies and force massive population movements, deserve to be part of the discussion. With less than three weeks before the Nov. 6 election, it may be their last chance to put it on the national agenda.
Harold Wanless, a University of Miami geology professor who has documented decades of sea level rise in South Florida and signed the letter sent last week to both campaigns, said he's frustrated by Washington politicians who took the issue seriously four years ago but now want to avoid it.
"I know we are worried about 10 million other things but this is the one that is going dominate our next century," he said.

Freeport-McMoRan Transforms Equipment Reliability
Centralized Approach Helps Cut Maintenance Costs and Prevent Equipment Downtime for Global Mining Concern
More than a decade ago, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold established Reliability & Sustainability as a cornerstone imperative for the company's global mining operations. A key outgrowth of this strategic push is an ambitious remote access monitoring program (RAMP) for its many trucks, shovels and other mobile equipment that over the past five years has transformed the reliability of its global fleet.
The central idea was to equip its many mobile assets with data loggers and wireless connectivity so that centrally located reliability professionals could collect performance data in real time, analyze and diagnose potential problems, and take proactive action to increase reliability and prevent catastrophic and premature equipment failures. "Our mantra was to collect all the data all the time," said Lia Walker, senior quality leader - operational improvement, in her presentation this morning at the Honeywell Users Group Americas 2013 conference in Phoenix, Ariz.
The undertaking began back in 2007, when a multi-disciplinary task force came together to define the vision of a mobile mine equipment monitoring methodology. They tested their ideas in a pilot program across three mines, monitoring 150 haul trucks and testing out remote communication capabilities among the sites. The pilot indicated that they could reduce critical maintenance events by 15% and "operator-induced" events by 20%. The potential savings were attractive enough to proceed, "but we realized we really needed to get a handle on how the operator part worked," Walker said.
The team also realized that in order to manage its global operations in a consistent fashion, it needed a robust solution facilitated by standardized products, systems and work practices, and in 2008 partnered with Honeywell Process Solutions (then Matrikon) to build out a Mobile Equipment Monitoring (MEM) methodology. Collaboration among the maintenance organization, operations at the mine sites, and the company's IT organization together with Honeywell was critical to the effort's success, Walker said. "It was everyone working together to build this process," Walker said.
Next, a prototype MEM product was implemented at two North American sites, with dedicated RAMP personnel charged with monitoring and providing operations and maintenance feedback through the MEM platform. Initial resistance among field personel ultimately yielded to trust, as RAMP personnel were able to apply various predictive technologies and advanced diagnostic tools to help operators and maintenance technicians sustain higher equipment reliability and availability. While field personnel were at first skeptical of RAMP recommendations, "now operators and technicians call them up and ask 'What do you see?'" Walker said.
Based on conservative estimated costs savings in "component saves" of 3% per equipment run hour, the successful prototype was rolled out to now cover 420 assets at 10 different sites throughout North and South America. In short, the solution consists of wireless dataloggers that communicate via a wireless mesh network to site servers which in turn relay data back to a companywide database in near real-time. This companywide system implementation helps to ensure that RAMP procedures are carried out in a consistent fashion, Walker said. Further, this centralized approach has allowed the company to institutionalize a core company philosophy around equipment management.
As a result, the company now has fewer incidents and fewer alarms across the entire fleet. "Once you start looking at your equipment on a regular basis, it gets healthier and healthier," Walker said. "We've been steadily increasing fleet availability since 2006."

Awesome Stuff: Security Hardware For The Masses
from the stay-safe-now deptSecuring your computer and phone are something that is increasingly important, especially in light of all of the stories about privacy intrusions we've been discussing the past few months. For the most part, the average person has tended to rely on software-based security offerings, rather than hardware. While company may invest in hardware solutions, that's always seemed to be a bit too much for the average consumer. However, perhaps that's changing. This week's awesome stuff covers three crowdfunding campaigns, looking to build different types of secure hardware for the mass market.
- First up, we've got the amusingly named, Don't Snoop Me Bro (or DMSB for short). It's a VPN in a box. You hook it up to your network and turn the key (literally, it has a physical key) and it turns on a VPN tunnel via a VPN service routing your data through another country. These guys sent me a prototype to check out, and it looks interesting (though won't work with my network setup). They're still deciding what VPN service provider it will use, and it seems like that's something that could make a difference in terms of overall usefulness. Of course, you can already pay for a VPN service that just runs on your computer (I've got a couple), but the DSMB guys properly note that those aren't always the most user friendly and they only secure the one device, rather than the entire network (of course, they also work outside of your home/office). Still, if you're looking to VPN tunnel your home network, this is an interesting project to check out:
- Another project with a great name is the Tuit mobile security ring. With all the talk of Apple trying to make security easier via their fingerprint ID reader, lots of people have pointed out that it's dangerous to have a security token that can't ever be changed -- such as your fingerprint. Of course, plenty of people like the general ease of use of the fingerprint reader over a pin or password. The tuit project seems to be an interesting attempt to offer a better solution overall, creating a ring that uses NFC (near field communication) to unlock your (Android only, it appears, though there are stretch goals for Windows) phone just by touching it with the ring on your hand. In other words, the theory is that if you're holding your phone, it'll unlock automatically, but no one else can do that, unless they take your ring or hold your hand up to it. It's obviously not perfect security since someone could get the ring in some way, but it does seem like a nice idea in terms of good convenience for the user (since many people don't use any lock screen at all because it's too inconvenient) while still creating some security, especially if the phone is taken from you. Also, as they note, you can still use a password to lock the screen and make it much more complex, since you won't have to type it in so often.
- Finally, we've got the not so wonderfully named Qi4BOX, which is a USB key that encrypts all your local documents and documents in your Dropbox account. I'd imagine it's really only useful for those who are big time Dropbox users, but it's an interesting approach as a way to try to make the documents you put on Dropbox even more secure, without making it more user-unfriendly.

The subway is a great way to get around in Beijing, though it can be very crowded at peak hours. The subway shuts down at midnight and starts again at 5am. Travellers can buy a prepaid card (Yîkâtông) for travel on subways and buses. The fare is the same for the subway, but reduced for buses. Most buses operate from 5am to 11pm. Driving in Beijing is a complicated and sometimes frightening process, with few English signs and non-stop traffic jams. Taxis are plentiful. Cycling is a good alternative with numerous bicycle rentals around the city, and well-defined bike lanes, bike parks and the company of millions of other cyclists, especially at rush hour. It may look intimidating, but can be the best way to get around for the more adventurous traveller. Over 40,000 bicycles are available to be rented at outlets close to subway stations, commercial districts, hotels and office buildings.
Local time is GMT +8.
Electrical current is 220 volts, 50Hz. Plug types vary, but the two-pin flat blade and oblique three-pin flat blade plugs are common. Adapters are generally required.
China's currency is the Renminbi Yuan (CNY), which is divided into 10 jiao or 100 fen. Make sure you exchange your leftover Yuan before returning home because you may have difficulty exchanging the currency outside China's borders. Foreign cash can be exchanged in cities at the Bank of China. Banks are closed weekends. The larger hotels and the special 'Friendship Stores' designed for foreigners will accept most Western currencies for purchases. Major credit cards are accepted in the main cities, but acceptance may be limited in more rural areas. ATMs are scarce in rural areas.
The international dialling code for China is +86. Phone cards are widely available and calls can be made from post offices and hotels; phone booths on the streets are usually for local calls only. In hotels, local calls are generally free or will be charged only a nominal fee. Mobile phone networks are very advanced and Chinese networks have roaming agreements with most non-North American international operators. Internet cafes are available in most main towns.
Emergencies: 110 (Police); 120 (Ambulance)
Everything about travel documents
Shuttle buses run regularly (about every 45 minutes) to the city centre, Beijing Railway Station and major hotels. Metered taxis are also available, but it is recommended that passengers have their destination written in Chinese to avoid confusion. Travelling time to the city is about an hour.
Car rental is available, including Hertz and Avis.
Taxis are metered and tips are not expected. The 17 miles (28km) into the city should take about an hour. Avoid taxi drivers that approach customers and instead wait in the taxi line and insist on using the meter.
A shuttle bus service runs between the terminals.
There are several bureaux de change, a bank and ATMs, telephones, tourist information, numerous shops and duty free shopping, and a business centre. A food corridor provides a range of eating and drinking options, while an entertainment centre offers everything from films to Chinese massage.
The parking garage is located close to Terminal 3, and is connected to the terminal building by means of an underground walkway. There is also an airport subway linking the parking garage to the terminals. Parking is free for the first 30 minutes; and thereafter, RMB 6 for the first hour, and RMB 5 for every subsequent 30 minutes. The maximum daily charge is RMB 80 for the first two days.
Free wifi is available in five-hour sessions throughout the airport, but requires registration, either via sms with a mobile phone or by scanning your passport into the airport's system. Keep in mind that many sites are blocked, as internet access in China has extensive firewall restrictions.

The University of
North Florida community was dealt a crushing loss in February when University Controller Floyd Hurst passed away.
Hurst, 66, had
been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS or Lou
Gehrig's disease. It's a devastating condition that attacks nerve cells in the
brain and spinal cord and stymies muscle movement. Hurst passed away with his
family at his side at his home in Ormond Beach.
A dedicated
University staff member who worked tirelessly for the good of his staff and the
students they serve, Hurst started at UNF in 2004 and established a
larger-than-life legacy on campus.
His coworkers
spoke fondly of Hurst's penchant for giving staffers — and even some students
who passed through the Controller's Office's doors — nicknames.
"He could be a
jokester — he definitely enjoyed himself when he was in the office," said
Valerie Stevenson, who served as associate controller under Hurst and has since
been named the new Controller. "And he made the work environment fun for all of
us. But he never slipped when it came to his duties. He was a hard worker who
truly improved this campus for the staff and for the students."
Assistant Controller Wilson Navarro said family came first
for Hurst. He would gently chide employees who worked late to go home and be
with the people they love, Navarro said.
"Floyd always asked about family — spouses or children,"
he said. "This is a big office, but Floyd always kept up with our families. He
even kept up with birthdays and made us all feel like a part of his family."
Hurst received numerous
awards during the course of his UNF career, many of which came from Student
Affairs for his conscientious service to the campus' more than 16,000 students.
He also dedicated
himself to helping the University's international student population by
regularly coordinating work efforts with the International Center.
And while many
UNF staff members will remember Hurst for his unyielding devotion to the campus
community, many of his staffers talked up his adventurous side. He loved riding
his motorcycle and even earned a scuba diving certification.
He took some
sartorial risks as well. Controller's Office employees gleefully recalled his
multi-colored, and sometimes themed, tie collection. His Christmas ties were
always a hit when he broke them out around the holidays.
Mike Kennedy, assistant
director of Health Promotions, kindled a strong friendship with Floyd thanks in
part to their shared affinity for Harley Davidsons. The pair would often go on
extended motorcycle trips around the state. Kennedy said they had planned to go
on a days-long ride to North Carolina and Tennessee this past October, but
Hurst bowed out because of his declining health.
"He didn't want
to be a burden or an imposition on the trip," Kennedy said. "I never thought of
it like that. I just wanted to spend some time with my friend and wanted him to
be there. But he didn't want to bring the trip down. That's the kind of guy he
was. He would always put others first in front of himself. Selfless, is how I'd
describe him. He made an incredible impact in my life, and I'm lucky to count
him as a friend."
In honor of Hurst's
dynamic pursuit of life, staff members from the Controller's Office have registered
a team for the March 31 Walk
to Defeat ALS, which is sponsored by the ALS Association.
The group,
Floyd's Ospreys, is taking donations.
You can support them by clicking here. Select the "Donate" tab and
search for the team name and donate to someone registered for the walk.
There was also an
on-campus memorial service March 10.
legacy will live here with us," Stevenson said. "'We
are here to serve' was one of his favorite statements. So, we'll honor his
memory by carrying this in our hearts — 'We are here to serve.'"
Building a strong foundation for a women's
golf team at a university that's never had one is no easy feat.
The challenge doesn't intimidate new
University of North Florida head coach Joanne Steele. She's fought tougher
"It puts things in perspective when you have
doctors telling you that you only have a month left to live," Steele said. "It
makes other challenges seem a little less tough. And it prepares you for
anything. I'm prepared for what comes next in my life, and in the upcoming
Steele has already recruited her first class
of six student-athletes who she'll lead into the 2012-2013 inaugural season of
the UNF women's golf team. It's the start of a new athletic program for UNF,
and Steele said it's been a welcome change for her to start fresh after many years
in which her future seemed hazy.
Steele grew up in Helena, Mont., and was indoctrinated into the sporting life early. Her
six brothers played sports year-round, and Steele always pushed herself to keep
up. She found a niche in track but later turned to golf when she found herself
getting winded before many of the other runners.
That was her first
sign that everything wasn't all right. But like any motivated competitor, she
tried to simply power through the pain.
"I just thought
everyone was winded and didn't want to complain about it," Steele said. "I
didn't suspect it was anything worse than that."
Her transition to
golf proved to be a smart call. Steele excelled in high school and landed a
scholarship to play at Jacksonville University. She played all four years there
and gained an appreciation for Jacksonville and Northeast Florida, worlds — and
climates — away from her small Montana hometown.
She stuck around the
region for a year after graduation and worked as an assistant golf pro at
Amelia Island Plantation Resort before moving back home. That's when she got her
first coaching opportunity. She was hired at the University of Montana as an
assistant and promoted to head coach after only a year. She led the squad for
16 years and never missed a beat, even when she was fighting for her life.
Steele was diagnosed with hypertrophic
cardiomyopathy in 1999 after the birth of her second daughter. The condition
worsened over the years — more shortness of breath and irregular heart rhythms
— to the point that a heart transplant was a necessity.
The transplant was received right at the wire
— Steele said her doctors told her she would've died if she had to wait another
month for a donor. After the 2006 procedure and months of recovery, Steele was
back on track and started contemplating the next phase of her life.
She said she'd wanted to move back to
Jacksonville, the setting of her college glory days, for years. The
opportunity, however, had yet to present itself.
That changed last year. Steele saw an article
on the UNF Athletics website advertising the formation of a women's golf team
and reached out to Athletics Director Lee Moon.
Moon said he noticed in Steele the motivation
and grit needed to help guide the Ospreys through any first-year growing pains.
"Joanne has the
knowledge, experience and competitive drive to build a highly successful
program at UNF," he said.
And Steele thinks the team she spent hundreds
of hours recruiting is ready to blaze out of the gates and challenge the rest
of the Atlantic Sun Conference in 2012-2013.
"I believe the team we are
assembling puts us in a place to compete for Atlantic Sun Championships
immediately," Steele said. "We're very excited for the upcoming season."
One key factor in the coming year will be the
team's mental and physical toughness, Steele said. She wanted her inaugural
recruiting class to be able to weather any potential difficulties tied to the
first year of a program.
"We're going to be the underdogs coming out —
we know that," she said. "And I like that. We have a young team. But they're
good. I want to set a high standard right from the start. Top three in the
conference is possible. I'm a competitor, and they are too. They're tough. With
that motivation and the support from the University, we can really thrive."
That kind of toughness can take you far.
Steele knows that better than anyone.
He literally wrote the book on deaf education.
Now, Dr. Donald Moores is getting the kind of credit for his work that few people reach in their professional careers.
Moores, program director and professor in the Department of Exceptional Student and Deaf Education at the University of North Florida, was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association of College Educators-Deaf and Hard of Hearing Feb. 18 during a conference in Atlantic Beach.
"Don is truly a lifetime achiever, and this award recognizes the extensive contribution he has made to the field of deaf education during his distinguished career," said Dr. Larry Daniel, dean of the College of Education and Human Services at UNF. "We are indeed fortunate to count him among our colleagues at UNF and the COEHS."
During his career, Moores has been at the forefront of deaf education. His first textbook, "Educating the Deaf," was released in 1978 and is still in use today after five different editions. Many academics have matriculated through deaf education programs across the country using his textbook."It's an honor to have impacted future generations of deaf educators," Moores said. "I've had the pleasure of advising doctoral students at four different universities as well. It's a reward in itself to have the opportunity to have worked with so many outstanding young people."
Moores' has also been published in about 250 different publications and given numerous presentations in 15 countries.
Nothing, however, could have prepared him for his most recent honor — the Association of College Educators-Deaf and Hard of Hearing lifetime achievement award. The association gives out annual awards, but the lifetime achievement honor — a special acknowledgement from committee officers — is seldom presented.That's why Moores was blown away when his name was called."I was at the award ceremony listening to the presenter, and the descriptions started to sound like my career all of a sudden," he said. While he might have received a lifetime achievement award, Moores said he doesn't plan to stop adding to his academic legacy any time soon. He said UNF — an up-and-coming institution with a thriving deaf education program — is the perfect place for him to be.When Moores came into the program, it was already in existence and was being led by Dr. Len Roberson, now the dean of UNF's Graduate School. There were only a handful of students, he said. Now there are about 60 students with 20 graduate candidates. Most of the students who graduate from the UNF program go on to teach in state. That's a constant reward for Moores, who takes a strong sense of contentment from each graduate who goes on to work in the field."At UNF, we have some of the best student's I've ever worked with," he said. "I feel really good about the quality of our students as they enter the workforce and teach others. It's the best part of my job to see them go on and do well for themselves."

The Portobello mushroom is
an edible basidiomycete mushroom native to grasslands in Europe and North America. It's cultivated in more than 70 countries and is one of the
most commonly and widely consumed mushrooms in the world. Dr. Shahla Khan, a
professor in the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics Flagship Program, discusses
myths and facts about this big brown mushroom. To help you include more Portobello
mushrooms in your diet, a recipe is provided.
Myth: Mushrooms are vegetables.
Although often found in the vegetable section in grocery stores, Portobello and
other mushrooms belong to the kingdom of Fungi, which consists of organisms without chlorophyll
or vascular tissue and includes things as diverse as yeasts and molds.
Myth: Portebello, Portabello,
Portobello and Portobella mushrooms are all different.
They are actually all the same. The Portobello
is sometimes known as an overgrown crimini (brown or tan colored) mushroom.
They are identified by their large size, brownish color and deep musty smell.
Myth: Portobello mushrooms taste best when fried.
Fact: Portobello
mushrooms are mostly eaten broiled and grilled, but they can also be fried,
baked or sautéed. They have a characteristic meaty flavor and texture that gets
better the longer the mushrooms are cooked, so grilling them is the best way to
bring out their flavor.
Myth: Portobello mushrooms have no nutritional benefit.
Fact: One cup of
grilled Portobello slices contains:
Calories: 42 kcal
Fat: 0.9 g
Carbohydrates: 5.9g
Protein: 5 g
Fiber: 2.7 g
They are also rich in potassium, essential amino acids
and B vitamins, as well as being low in calories, fat-free and low in sodium.
Myth: Portobello mushrooms can
be stored at room temperature.
Fact: They are
sensitive to air oxidation. They should be stored in the refrigerator inside a
loosely-closed paper bag or wrapped inside a damp cloth and consumed within
five days of purchasing.
Recipe for Spinach-stuffed Portobello mushrooms
4 large Portobello mushrooms
One-fourth cup chopped onion
Two eggs lightly beaten
One-half cup reduced fat sour cream
One cup crushed seasoned stuffing
One-half cup crumbled feta cheese
One-half teaspoon garlic salt
Three tablespoons grated Parmesan
One package (10 ounces) frozen chopped
spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1. Line baking sheet
with foil, and coat the foil with non-stick cooking spray. Remove stems from
mushrooms: set caps aside and chop stems. Combine the chopped mushrooms and
onion. Cover and microwave at 50 percent power for one to two minutes or until
tender, stirring every 30 seconds.
2. In a small bowl, combine the eggs
and sour cream. Stir in the spinach, stuffing, feta cheese and garlic salt and
onion mixture. Spoon into mushroom caps. Place on baking sheet.
Bake at 350
degrees for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake five to10 minutes
longer or until mushrooms are tender and cheese is melted.

Innovative technology for comfort, agility and efficiency.
Innovative technology for comfort, agility and efficiency.
The LED Intelligent Light System has adaptive headlamps which automatically adapt to the driving situation. The scope of equipment includes Highbeam Assist which helps to avoid dazzling oncoming vehicles, and the active light function which swivels the headlamps in the direction of the bend and thus significantly improves illumination of the road.
Appearing for the first time in this segment is the Active Parking Assist including PARKTRONIC with parking space measuring and active steering (when parking longitudinally and crosswise) together with the 360 degree camera, give the driver a bird's-eye view of the area around the car on the central display unit – a real help in tricky parking and manoeuvring situations.
COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST system provides an audible and visual warning if a possible collision is detected, thereby significantly reducing the risk of an accident. The system continuously monitors the gap to the next vehicle and optimises braking performance accordingly.
The radar-based DISTRONIC PLUS adaptive cruise control automatically maintains the distance to the vehicle in front and takes the strain off the driver, for example when driving on the motorway or in stop-and-go traffic. DISTRONIC PLUS accelerates automatically and brakes with a maximum of half of the braking power in order to maintain the safe distance. If DISTRONIC PLUS detects that heavier braking is required by the driver, an intermittent warning tone is sounded and a warning symbol lights up in the instrument cluster.

BEST WESTERN Ryokan Hotel
The room was just average with a very small tv.
There was no bar at the hotel where you could sit and relax and spend an evening together - the bar was supposedly in the Indian restaurant next door but there was very limited drinks. As for the restaurant I would more call it a very very basic canteen - the quality of the food was extremely poor - my husband had a bowl of melon and a bowl of cereal all for the grand priceof £8.50 I attempted the coked breakfast but was very let down - streaky bacon with more fat than bacon omelettes not fried or scrambled egg again for the outrageous price of £8.50 but the coffee was ok. Needless to say we will not be staying again and probably not at another best western

A proposed $35-million solar energy research center, Solar Energy Consortium, in New York recently received $5 million in start-up money. The state's economic development agency has agreed to provide $1.5 million to attract solar companies to the Solar Energy Consortium's planned site at a former IBM Corp. plant in Kingston, N.Y. The money supplements the $3.5 million secured by U.S. Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) for the private-public consortium in August.
Proponents of the non-profit center expect this solar "brain center" to pioneer solar technologies and help situate solar companies within the state as it aims to produce 2,000MW — enough to serve more than 600,000 average U.S. homes — within a decade. Hinchey predicts the project would "revolutionize the way we all live while helping to save the planet from global warming."

Reviewed by E.S. (age 9)
This book is one of my old favorites and I would easily give it a strong ten out of ten. The illustrations are funny and very enjoyable. One of my favorite parts of the books is when Leonardo gives it all he's got to scare Sam, a really scaredy-cat kid. Leonardo reminds me of myself because he is very persistent when he tries to scare someone. That relates to me because I'm persistent too.
I recommend this book to kids of all ages. If you like reading with expression, and attiude, then you will love Mo Willems writing. Some other books he wrote are Piggy and Gerald, Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, and Knuffle Bunny. Looking for a short story, well here you are.

Last week, CNN Money published an article claiming Android had an 80% customer turnover rate based on a survey by Yankee Group. Despite the fact that this number would mean Android users are more dissatisfied than users of any other smartphone OS, the story made the rounds.
CNN Money later came out and admitted they had made a rather large mistake. The statistic they quoted was the percentage of smartphone users who said "Android" in response to the question, "What operating system will your next smartphone run?" Clearly this 20% goes from being abominable to rather positive for Android, which is currently estimated to control 13% of the smartphone operating system market.Read More

Yale Opens First Full Weekend Of Ivy Play On The Road
Yale Game Notes | Columbia Game Notes | Cornell Game Notes
Yale Statistics | Columbia Statistics | Cornell Statistics
Live Stats Yale - Columbia | Yale - Cornell
Video: Ivy League Digital Network
Twitter: @YaleWBBdawgz | Yale Basketball On Facebook
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Yale will look to continue its unbeaten start to Ivy League play when it travels to Columbia on Friday night and Cornell on Saturday. Tip off on Friday is set for 7 p.m., and Saturday's game will tip at 6 p.m.
Yale (8-8, 2-0 Ivy League) swept the season series against Brown with a 73-52 win at John J. Lee Amphitheater on Friday, January 24. The Bulldogs shot a season-high 51.7 percent from the field in the contest and were led by 14 points apiece from Sarah Halejian and Lena Munzer. The duo earned Ivy League Weekly Honor Roll recognition for their contributions.
The Bulldogs took the lead for good with an 11-0 run midway through the first half to build a 23-16 lead. Yale then put the game away by rattling off 23 unanswered points at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second. The Bulldogs received a complete team effort that had 10 players score in the contest and play at least 14 minutes.
Halejian continues to lead Yale in scoring at 15.3 points per game, while Meredith Boardman is the team's top rebounder at 6.3 per game.
Scouting Columbia
Series History: Yale leads, 37-16, and has won the last two meetings.
The Lions split their first two Ivy games with Cornell, with each winning at home. Carolyn Binder is the team's leading scorer at 10.3 per game and is a three-time Ivy League Rookie of the Week honoree. Courtney Bradford leads the team in rebounding at 5.9 per game.
Head coach Stephanie Glance is in her first season at the helm of the Lions, having been in charge at Illinois State from 2010-2013.
Scouting Cornell
Series History: Yale leads, 47-22, and has won eight straight meetings.
Cornell has won four of its last five games, including a 76-51 win over Columbia last weekend. Joelle Davidson led the way with a career-high 17 points and 14 rebounds. On the year, Allyson DiMagno leads the team in scoring (13.8 ppg) and rebounding (7.5 rpg), while Nia Marshal adds 12.6 ppg and 6.0 rpg.
Cornell leads the Ivy and ranks among the national leaders in both steals per game (10.1) and turnover margin (+3.1). Yale ranks second in both categories.
What To Watch For
Ball Control: In their win over Brown last week, the Bulldogs were able to post a +7 turnover margin in the contest and score 22 points off of turnovers. Yale will need to continue that trend as they head into this weekend. Columbia forces 14.6 turnovers per game, while Cornell leads the Ivy League with a +3.06 turnover margin and forces its opponents into 19.9 turnovers per game.
Bench Production: Yale's bench has played a key role in each of its last two wins. The Bulldogs got 25 points from its bench in last week's win over Brown and is receiving 23.1 points per game on average. Overall, 10 players average at least 11.0 minutes per game and just two players play more than 25.0 minutes per game. Yale's opponents this weekend rely more heavily on the starting lineup. Columbia has four players that average over 25.0 minutes per game, while Cornell's starting five each play at least 26.2 minutes per game.
Post Presence: Another positive trend Yale will look to continue is its production in the post over the past two games. The Bulldogs have accounted for a total of 80 points in the paint combined in the last two games and outrebounded Brown by a total of 25 rebounds. Furthermore, Yale recorded a total of nine blocked shots in the wins, including three by Alexandra Osborn-Jones last time out.
Next Up
Yale returns home for Ivy play when it hosts Dartmouth on Friday, Feb. 7, at 7 p.m. and Harvard on Saturday, Feb. 8, at 7 p.m.
The Bulldogs will host Special Olympics Night for the Feb. 8 contest. Yale will welcome Special Olympics Connecticut and the Unified Sports athletes from area high schools for an awards ceremony and special halftime game.
