The electronic ID card
The electronic ID card was introduced on 1st November, 2010. Unlike the current ID card it will only be the same size as a cheque card or bankcard and a contactless chip (radio frequency chip) will be embedded in it. The data printed on the electronic ID card will additionally be stored on the RF chip. If desired two fingerprints of the ID card bearer can also be recorded on the RF chip. This will not lead to additional costs.
Which data is exactly stored in the electronic ID card is found under content of the electronic ID card. How the personal data is protected from unauthorized access can be found under data protection. There now follows additional information on the electronic ID card's functions.
Internet ID card
With its embedded RF chip the electronic ID card can be used in the future as an ID card on the internet in the future. This is served by the so-called eID application. E.g. the one or another trip to a local authority can be dispensed with, because one can authenticate himself through the internet using the electronic ID card (eGovernment).
The ID card can also be used in the field of eBusiness. I.e. private service providers (e.g. companies using online shopping) can apply for access to certain data stored on the electronic ID card. Before such an authorization is granted, a verification is carried out concerning what data the service provider really needs for his purposes from the ID card and if he is trustworthy. The authorization is always only valid for a limited time period and can also be withdrawn. The authorization is technically realized with digital certificates, which are retrieved during "Terminal Authentication".
Before a service provider is allowed to access the data stored on the electronic ID card, the service provider has to display his certificate and with it also the data he is allowed to read. The card bearer still has the option to restrict the read permission to less data.
Afterwards, the card holder has to enter his six digits personal identification number (PIN). If the electronic check of the digital certificate ends with a positive result (Terminal Authentication), the data is unlocked. All data is transmitted encrypted.
The read permission can also be limited so far as eg only the age can be requested if an internet page should only allow access to persons over 18 years. Additionally, there is also a pseudonym function that makes registering and being recognized by the same service provider possible, without requiring the service provider to have knowledge of the card holder's personal data (e.g. in an internet forum). This function is card- and service-specific. I.e. if one person registers for two services using the pseudonym function, then these cannot determine that in fact the same person applied for both services.
Should the electronic ID card be lost, it is possible to lock the eID application using a personal password. If the PIN is entered incorrectly too many times, it has to be reactivated using a PUK (PIN Unblocking Key), similar to the PIN of a mobile phone.
In addition the eID application on the ID card can be deactivated by the ID card authority, if desired.
Signature function
At the request of the card bearer a signature function can be activated on the electronic ID card, which allows qualified signatures according to the German Signature Law. These signatures are a type of digital signature which bindingly prove that a file has not been altered and has been signed by the person specified in the signature. Such kind of signed text documents can meet the legally required form of written documents. The digital certificates required for this procedure can be acquired from providers from the industry.
Secure travel document
Just like the ID document the electronic ID card can be used as a passport substitute for travelling to certain countries. Due to its RF chip, the security of this travel document is increased.
The facial image stored digitally on the RF chip has a better quality than the one printed on the ID card, since it is not distorted by the structure of the ID card. Therefore, in addition to the stored fingerprints, the card is suitable to simplify the determination whether the ID card and the person really correspond.
Besides, the security mechanisms on the RF chip allow a quick recognition of a forged electronic ID card. More on this topic under "Passive authentication" ...

At its regular meeting July 2, the council voted 5-0 to write a letter to the U.S. Board of Geographic Names in support of retaining the canyon's current name. That vote came after the council heard a presentation from Louis Williams encouraging them to support changing the canyon's name.
Williams, a Moab resident, said he has been researching the life history of pioneer settler William Grandstaff for the past year and a half. Williams told the council that he has found no indication that Grandstaff ever preferred being called an even more offensive name that included the racially charged "N" word. The derogatory moniker, Williams said, was applied to him by other settlers between 1877 and 1881, when Grandstaff lived in the Moab area.
"The community here has told people for years that William Grandstaff proudly called himself [the racially charged name]," Williams told the council during the meeting, noting that the "deeply ingrained" story has been told for well over a century. "However, it's not true."
Williams cited a dozen or more historical documents that support his contention, including accounts written by historians, a mining deed with Grandstaff's own signature on it, and newspaper articles announcing his death near Glenwood Springs, Colo. in August of 1901. In each of these documents, Williams noted, Grandstaff is referred to only by the name William Grandstaff, Williams told the council.
Williams said that even though Grandstaff lived in Colorado for the last 20 years of his life, "No one in Colorado knew him as 'Nigger Bill'."
Council member Lynn Jackson, who made the motion to support retaining the name, said at the meeting that while he respected Williams' position, he did not agree with it.
Jackson noted that the Grand County Historical Preservation Commission and a number of local residents are opposed to changing the name. Last fall, the president of the Salt Lake City office of the NAACP told the Associated Press she opposes changing the name because the history of the canyon would be lost.
"It's part of the historical fabric of Grand County," county council member Jackson said this week. "There are many who would just as soon see it not changed."
Fellow council member Pat Holyoak asked whether the name Grandstaff itself could be seen as objectionable, since it was reportedly the household name of the William Grandstaff's former slave owners.
"Why would he choose that name?" Holyoak asked Williams during the meeting.
"I don't know," Williams responded. "But I do know that is the name he went by."
Council chairman Gene Ciarus said the word "negro" is not necessarily offensive in itself.
"I think it's how you use the word," he said. Ciarus also joined Jackson in thanking Williams for his research efforts.
In addition to Jackson, Holyoak, and Ciarus, council members Rory Paxman and Ken Ballantyne also voted in support of keeping the canyon's current name. The council's other two members, Elizabeth Tubbs and Jim Nyland, were not present at the meeting.
Williams said after the meeting that while he is "disappointed" in the council's action, the setback will not deter him from continuing his efforts to get the name changed.
Williams said he has compiled a list of more than 600 supporters who want the name changed, including approximately 200 local residents and businesses. Local government entities such as the Moab City Council and the Castle Valley Town Council also have recently voted on or otherwise voiced their support for changing the canyon's name.
"You can be historically accurate without being racially insensitive," Williams said.
Williams said he hopes to form a coalition at the national level that will help remove racially derogatory names from geographic places. According to Williams, there are more than 750 such names still in use across the country.
"The most important thing is to get it started, and that's what I've done," he said.
Prior to Tuesday's action, the council agenda included the possible action item of rescinding a prior motion or recommendation, if needed. However, Grand County Council Administrator Ruth Dillon said she did extensive research on council actions between 1999 and 2006, and could find no formal action taken by the council regarding a proposed name change during that period. She did note that the matter had been discussed periodically over the years.
In 1999, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names rejected a request by a group of local citizens to change the canyon's name.
Lou Yost, executive secretary of the U.S. Board on Geographic Names, said during a November interview with the The Times-Independent that the 1999 request was denied because the Grand County Council and the BLM opposed the change. The city of Moab's mayor and two citizens supported the name change at that time, he said.
Yost said last year that petitions, whether signed in person or online, have no effect on the board's decisions.
Although the council's action isn't binding, it is likely to carry weight with the U.S Board of Geographic Names, which routinely considers and reviews name change requests.

A co-worker and I were working on a job that involved pulling some coaxial cables through the building in a drop ceiling from one room to the next. We were trying to figure out a faster and better way to get the cables through the ceiling and complete the job on time when an idea hit us. We took a 10-foot stick of 1/2-inch conduit, taped the cable to the end of it, and started pushing it through the ceiling. It worked great. We started moving faster, and soon we were throwing it overhead — one of us would be on one end waiting by the open hole in the ceiling to intercept the conduit when it came by. Well, my partner misjudged when the conduit would reach the hole, popped his head up too fast, and it hit him in the face and knocked some teeth right down his throat. Needless to say, we didn't get the job done that day.

Foot-in-Mouth Disease
After working three years as an electrical contractor, I moved to southeastern Massachusetts. As my business expanded I ended up with two nice jobs in two towns on Cape Cod. I got into a dispute over the phone with the local inspector in the first town. I was young but I wasn't stupid, so I gave in. Later, I had already roughed-in the first floor of the office building I was working on in the other town and had been approved for closing. As I finished roughing in the next floor, the general contractor asked if they could drywall over the weekend. I said I'd visit the local inspector, whom I had yet to meet. I went to his office and talked to him, and he told me he had seen my work and liked it, so he gave me the go-ahead. We got to talking, so I told him about my dispute with the inspector in the other town and remarked, "What a pain in the butt, huh?" He got up from his desk and said, "I don't think we've been formally introduced. I'm that pain in the butt you just mentioned. I serve both towns."

OJS 2.3: What's New
OJS 2.3 is a substantial upgrade from the 2.2.x line. There have been significant changes to the underlying codebase, including hundreds of bugs and feature requests filed and fixed. Most exciting are some of the new features listed below; indeed, these features wouldn't exist without the substantial feedback previous versions of OJS have received from the community.
- 1 For Users and Authors
- 2 For Editors and Journal Managers
- 3 For Site Administrators
- 4 Download, test run, participate
For Users and Authors
Improved User Home
The User Home page has been retooled to display more user information. Users can quickly see the state of any particular workflow, and can navigate quickly to where they need to go. Links to common tasks are also included. This new User Home page is particularly useful for users with multiple roles.
More, and manageable, notifications
OJS includes improved notification management and support options. Unregistered users can sign up to a journal mailing list for notifications of new email content; users can control what kind of actions they receive notifications for; and users can choose whether they receive notifications via email, rss/atom feed, or both.
Per-article Refbacks
Authors can now see at a glance which Web sites link to their article, and can publish those links so that they appear with their article. The Refbacks feature includes the ability for authors to filter and delete unnecessary or unwanted links before they are made public.
Keyword tag cloud
This new plugin displays the most popular article keywords in a tag cloud on the journal's sidebar. Clicking on a keyword will display all articles that match that keyword.
Reference metadata
Authors can now add reference metadata to their article, which will in turn be displayed below their abstract or article. All reference information can now be edited and formatted apart from article content.
For Editors and Journal Managers
Sorting lists made easy
You don't need to use the arrow keys to sort long lists of information any more! Thanks to some background magic, items in lists can now be grabbed and moved around with the mouse, saving you from lots of repetitive clicking. Just look for when your mouse pointer turns into a hand.
Some tables can now also be sorted by column: simply click the hyperlinked column title and the table will be sorted according to that column.
Improved subscription support
The subscription interface has been drastically overhauled, both for subscribers and for subscription managers. Users can now purchase and renew individual subscriptions online, and enjoy immediate access without the intervention of the subscription manager; immediate "Purchase Article" access is also available for individuals. Institutions can purchase and renew institutional (IP- or domain-based) subscriptions online, and have their IP ranges or domain names vetted before access is granted.
Subscription Management is also much easier than before. A subscriptions summary page shows at a glance any information the Subscription Manager might need. Institutional and individual subscriptions are sorted into their own pages, and institutional subscriptions can be assigned to different users within the system, allowing for institutional contacts to change while their subscription information remains the same.
New content management tools
Two new content management plugins have been included, both powerful on their own but especially so when used together.
The Static Pages plugin allows you to make as many individual pages as you like, which can then be easily linked to. Pages can include HTML and images, and are displayed just as any other page, with the journal's header, footer and sidebar. This is a great option for journals that need to display information that isn't otherwise captured by OJS.
The Custom Block Manager plugin allows you create new blocks, and control their content. HTML can be included in a custom block, and you can link to external images.
Together, these plugins allow you to create custom content to be displayed almost anywhere in your journal, and in whichever fashion you choose. You can create static pages and add them to your home page; to your navigation bar; or to a custom block (or blocks) of your design.
For Site Administrators
PHP Quick Profiler
There has been one major addition that will be of use for Site Administrators: the PHP Quick Profiler library. The Quick Profiler can be enabled in your config.inc.php file, and show you what's going on behind the scenes: database queries, load time, errors, included files, memory and more can be tracked from the same useful interface.
Download, test run, participate
OJS 2.3.0 can be downloaded here as soon as it is released. Please be aware that this is a '.0' release, and is likely less stable than version 2.2.3. But take a look, and let us know of any questions you might have, bugs you encounter, or features you want.
If you want to try out OJS 2.3.0 without installing it yourself, you can also take OJS out for a test drive on our server to become more familiar with how it operates. The login is "admin" and the password is "testdrive". This installation will be regularly purged of all data, so please do not use it for anything other than making a short-term evaluation of the software.
Development continues: we'll have a .1 release out soon enough, and continue to add more useful new features as they come up. Our thanks, once again, to all testers, developers, editors, managers and other community members who have helped make this release great!

I'm getting a driver crash (brings down video on the whole PC), and I expect it's probably a driver bug, but I thought I'd post it on the off chance that someone knows a workaround. The rough outline of events is as follows:
- Create multisample FBO (4 samples, color + packed depth/stencil render buffers), bound to draw target
- Create single-sample FBO (color + packed depth/stencil render buffers), bound to read draw target
- render some stuff
- resolve samples using glBlitFramebuffer from the multi-sampled FBO to the single-sampled FBO
- read some pixel data using glReadPixels
- delete render buffers and FBOs
- Render in a previously-existing on-screen OpenGL context
- crash
Since the driver dies after I cleaned up the FBOs, I thought I might be doing that wrong. But if I omit that step and just let stuff leak, the crash happens just the same.
On the other hand, if I omit the glBlitFramebuffer call, the crash doesn't happen. I was using the mask GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT. If I change that to GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT, it no longer crashes (but I may need the depth). If I change the mask to GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT, or GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT | GL_STENCIL_BUFFER_BIT, it does crash.
As indicated in the title, the problem is occurring on ATI FireGL V7700. On the other hand, on a PC with an ATI Radeon HD 4670, the same code works fine.

Jaida Williams
|Assistant Coach
|Second Season
After stops at Iowa and South Florida, Jaida Williams is entering her second season as one of UC Santa Barbara's assistant coaches. In her first season with the Gauchos, Williams was instrumental in helping UCSB win the Big West regular-season and tournament titles and take the team to the NCAA Tournament. Williams joins the Gaucho staff after two successful seasons as an assistant at the University of South Florida, where she assisted with recruiting, game preparation, and player development. Before joining the staff at USF, Williams served as the director of operations at the University of Iowa for one season. Prior to joining Iowa's staff, Williams was a standout player for Cal Poly Pomona, helping the Broncos to a 23-7 record her senior season. Graduating in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in journalism, Williams helped lead Cal Poly Pomona to a spot in the NCAA Tournament Regional Final before losing to Seattle Pacific. Originally recruited to play at Barry University by current USF coach Jose Fernandez, Williams helped the Buccaneers to a 21-9 record as a freshman, where she was named to the Sunshine State Conference's All-Freshmen Team. In her sophomore season at Barry, Williams led the team in both scoring and rebounding, averaging 15.8 points and 9.9 rebounds per game earning recognition on the All-SSC First Team and as a Kodak All-American honorable mention. "You meet Jaida for five minutes, and you know she is special," says head coach Lindsay Gottlieb. "She has a personality that fills up a room, she is a talented coach and recruiter, and she will be a tremendous mentor to our young women. I am thrilled that Jaida is coming back to California and joining the Gaucho family." Respected in the women's basketball world as an excellent recruiter, Williams will be heavily involved in that capacity in Santa Barbara. She will also work with the wings, serve as the team's compliance liaison, and be involved in scouting.

Seattle Sounders fans have just experienced yet another same-old, same-old season. A decent run through the regular season coupled with a shot at the Lamar Hunt Trophy, followed by a quick exit from the MLS Cup Playoffs. And still no Supporter's Shield.
The Sounders started off the 2013 season in something less than lacklustre fashion, managing two points from the first five league matches.
But something clicked, the team sprang to life, and the squad went on a tear through every team it played.
At one point the Sounders even put a 4-0 shellacking on the San Jose Earthquakes, last season's Supporter's Shield winners.
But the season took a nosedive shortly thereafter, concluding with a run of form that saw them barely squeak into the postseason. And maybe they would have been better off not even making it to the playoffs as hated rivals, Portland, hastily ushered them out.
For an MLS squad with a very enviable roster, this type of collapse seems beyond imagination. There are at least two factors that played into this scenario; the arrival of Clint Dempsey, and Sigi Schmid.
There is no doubt that Clint Dempsey's midseason entry into the squad threw a wrench into Sigi's planning.
How exactly does one squeeze Eddie Johnson, Obafemi Martins, Clint Dempsey, Lamar Neagle, Mauro Rosales and Brad Evans on the pitch at one time?
And that's only looking at Deuce's arrival from a tactical perspective; the entrance of such a high caliber player must have unsettled the locker room. To that point, even General Manager Adrian Hanauer admitted that: "Clint is a strong personality. He's going to be an absolutely fantastic personality for this team, but when you inject a strong personality in the middle of the season, it changes the dynamic a little bit."
Yet, this cannot and does not explain the depth of the collapse suffered by the Sounders.
As a result, we must look to Sigi Schmid. The head coach of the Sounders has been successful in the NCAA and in the MLS.
Yet when it comes to winning the MLS Cup with the Sounders, success has remained ephemeral. This is unfortunate, because even the Sounders' brass is heavily targeting the MLS Cup as a necessity.
But is Sigi the man to lead Sounders faithful to the promised land?
The Sounders' management believes so, and has cited his successful record. In a statement released on November 14, 2013, majority owner Joe Roth explained: "While we are not happy with the way we finished, Sigi's resume and accomplishments speak for themselves. We have been to the playoffs five-straight years, one of just three teams to have done that.
"Once you make the tournament you give yourself a chance to win the MLS Cup. Sigi has won two MLS Cups and it won't be long before he does it here in Seattle. We continue to strive for excellence and we will do everything we can and give him all the resources possible to make that a reality."
In other words, the executives are keeping faith with Sigi, and believe he is the right person to do the job.
When we look at what Sigi has not done, we see that there is definite room for improvement. It may be the case that Sigi doesn't have what it takes to get his squad an MLS Cup. His last championship came in 2008 with the Columbus Crew.
The league has change significantly, with a marked uptick in player quality. But it has also changed tactically, with a more diverse set of instructions being thrown out with every match.
When we assess what Sigi has done since taking over the Sounders, he consistently throws the same team out on the pitch with roughly the same formation and tactics.
Of course, individual instructions probably differ match to match. But we see the same pseudo-counterattacking mindset each match.
This worked before other teams started making the adjustments it would take to surpass the squad on the field. First Real Salt Lake introduced a means by which it could gum up the works. Now Portland has the Sounders' number. Closing out the season with a seven game skid suggests that more teams have caught on.
Beyond stale tactics, there is the issue of personnel. Because Joe Roth stated that the club will give Sigi all the resources he needs to get the silverware, one would think that implies retaining the best talent.
On the same day that the Sounders announced they were keeping Schmid, however, news broke that the club was shopping Eddie Johnson around. This cannot be a coincidence.
We know that Sigi and Johnson have butted heads on multiple occasions. We also know that Sigi has a track record of clashing with particularly strong personalities (Freddy Ljungberg, and Alexi Lalas come to mind).
And maybe a my-way-or-the-highway approach can work, but Sigi isn't Sir Alex Ferguson and the Sounders are not Manchester United. Simply buying another star caliber player, particularly one who can be so instrumental in ginning up a win when the team is otherwise playing poorly is no mean feat for an MLS squad.
Given the stale tactics and personnel issues, it makes sense that the Sounders struggled to close out the 2013 season on a high note. But the question we should be asking is how much more time will Sounders execs give Sigi to bring home the big one?
And are there better managers out there who are capable of taking one of the league's most dangerous teams and giving them an unbreakable mentality and cutting edge?

Competition Isn't War
from the scorched-earth dept
Ben Worthen theorizes that Microsoft is acquiring Yahoo not to increase its own profits but to damage Google. Worthen is suggesting that by slashing prices for its ads, Microhoo could "chip into Google's profit center," slowing down Google's expansion. I haven't talked to Steve Ballmer about this, but I really doubt this what he has in mind. In the first place, it's not clear that aggressive price-cutting by Yahoo! would even hurt Google that much. Aggressive price-cutting only hurts your competition significantly if you've got enough inventory to satisfy the market at the new, lower price. But Yahoo! has significantly fewer eyeballs than Google, so even if Yahoo! gave away its ads for free, there would still be a lot of unmet demand that Google could cater to. Secondly, trying to "chip away at" Google's ad revenue seems like exactly the wrong way to attack Google. Google has plenty of cash on hand, and its still-astronomical share price makes it easy to raise more. Google employees have told me that the limiting factor for the company at the moment isn't money but the ability to recruit new employees.
More fundamentally, the war metaphor is misleading in this kind of discussion. In a competitive market like this one, companies make profits by creating value for their customers. Especially in a growing market like this one, there isn't a fixed pie to be divided. So there's no reason to think that lowering Google's profits would improve Microsoft's fortunes. Microsoft should acquire Yahoo! if the combined company will be more profitable than they would be separately. Obviously, competition with Google is a big factor to consider, but it gets things backwards to view hurting Google, in and of itself, as a win for Microsoft.

Shares of Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) dropped 2% Thursday morning after Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) removed its "conviction buy" rating on the media conglomerate due to jitters about competition for ESPN from Fox Sports 1.
Continue Reading Below
The cautious research note from Goldman paints a less-bullish picture for ESPN, the cable sports juggernaut that Disney relies on for a whopping 45% of total operating income.
Goldman said it continues to see ESPN "as a valuable, well-positioned asset over the long-term," but warned that in the near-term it is concerned about "rising competitive intensity" and looming sports rights deals that will likely "overhang Disney."
In particular, Goldman analyst Drew Borst pointed to the August debut of Fox Sports 1, the new cable network being launched by 21st Century Fox, which is set to be spun off from Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. (NASDAQ:NWSA) later this month. News Corp. is also the parent of FOX Business.
Goldman removed Disney from its "conviction buy" list and downgraded the stock to "neutral," while holding its 12-month price target steady at $70 and 2014 EPS view at $4.08.
Since Disney was added to the bullish list in February 2012, the media and entertainment conglomerate's shares have soared 55%, compared with just 19% for the S&P 500.
However, Goldman sees Disney's cable networks' margins compressing and operating income growth at the division slowing to 12% in fiscal 2013, 7% in fiscal 2014 and then 3% in 2015.
The introduction of Fox Sports 1, which may quickly be followed by Fox Sports 2, is likely to increase competition for ad sales, which account for 25% in total revenue for ESPN but enjoys higher margins.
More concerning to Goldman, Fox Sports 1 will be vying for the same lucrative contracts to broadcast live sports programming.
While ESPN has recently locked up many of its rights deals, the NBA contract is set to expire following the 2015-2016 season, setting up a potential bidding war between Fox Sports and ESPN. Also, Goldman notes that new rights contracts for MLB, NFL Monday Night Football and the new BSC Championship will begin in the first quarter of 2014.
Last month, Disney confirmed layoffs at ESPN following job cuts elsewhere, including at game and movie studios.
Disney also disclosed a 32% jump in fiscal second-quarter profits last month amid rising revenue at its parks and resorts division.
Shares of Burbank, Calif.-based Disney declined 1.55% to $63.33 Thursday morning on the downgrade and a broad market selloff, trimming their 2013 advance to 27%.

As much as any biome or global ecoregion is a challenge to group, differentiate or otherwise generalize, the chaparral or Mediterranean woodlands (scrubland/heathland/grassland) biome may be the best example such classification difficulties. There's perhaps more general agreement regarding the features of this biome, even if the name tends to change from author to author. Many texts will not even include this biome in their list of major regions, instead making a small reference to it in the section regarding deserts. However, these areas, considering their combined territory, contain about 20 percent of the world's species of plants, many of them endemic gems found nowhere else. On the flipside, due to the often environmentally heterogeneous nature of this biome, organisms that are prominent, integral members of other biome classifications are found in the chaparral as well. For the sake of consistency in this post, I'll continue to refer to this biome as chaparral, as incomplete a descriptive designation as that may be.
Specifically, chaparral biomes exist in five major regions: South Africa, South/Southwest Australia, Southwestern California/Mexico, Central Chile and in patches wrapped around the Mediterranean Sea, including Southern Europe and Northern Africa. These regions are unified by their hot, dry summers and mild winters, referred to as an archetypal Mediterranean climate at 40 degrees north and south approximately.
The vast majority of rainfall usually comes with the cold fronts of winter. Annually, chaparral can experience anywhere from 250 mm of rain all the way up to 3000 mm in isolated subregions like the west portion of Fynbos in South Africa.
Plants in chaparral areas tend to be sclerophyllous (Greek: "hard-leaved"), meaning the leaves are evergreen, tough and waxy. This adaptation allows plants to conserve water in an area where rainfall is discontinuous, but probably evolved to compensate for the low levels of phosphorous in ancient weathered soils, particularly in Australia where there have been relatively few volcanic events to reestablish nutrients over millions of years. Obviously, these plants also happen to do very well during the xeric summers of the chaparral where drought is always a threat.
Because of the aridity and heat, the chaparral plant communities are adapted to and often strategically dependent on fire. Evolutionary succession scenarios constructed by scientists typically point to fire as one of the major factors that created much of chaparral areas in Australia and South Africa from Gondwanaland rainforest. (Fire ecology really deserves at least a post of its own, which I'd like to discuss given the time in the future.)
Some of the regions in the chaparral are exceptional. In South Africa, the area known as the Fynbos constitutes its own floristic region (phytochorion) among phytogeographers, the Cape Floristic Region. While it is the smallest of these floral kingdoms, it contains some 8500 species of vascular plants, 70 percent of which are endemic. The March rose (Oromthamnus zeyheri) is one of the standout specimens of the group as well as the national flower of South Africa, the King protea (Protea cynaroides). P. cynaroides is a "resprouter" in its fire-prone habitat, growing from embedded buds in a subterranean, burl-like structure. Another endemic species, the Cape sugarbird, is shown feeding on a King protea below**.
There is one unique threat to the chaparral: anthropogenic fire. In the past, if nature had not provided a fire to burn back the accumulated brush in these areas, often the native peoples would do so, and generally speaking, the fires seemed to be controlled and effective. But increased frequency of fires due to negligence or downed power lines can potentially cause catastrophic, unrecoverable fire. Only so much tolerance to such a destructive force can be built by evolutionary processes.

1995: "1995 Is Bound To Be A Better Year"
Chief Justice Randall T. Shepard
January 12, 1995
When I think about the state of the judiciary in 1994, I have some mixed feelings. The central event of spring 1994 for us was the death of the pay bill for judges and prosecutors in the last six hours of the session. We spent our summer investigating charges of sexual harassment and ghost employment in the office of the clerk. We spent our fall working to keep the clerk's office open after the clerk got indicted for the first time in history. And during the winter, a prominent trial judge plead guilty to abusing his office and went to jail.
In short, there was much about 1994 that did not recommend it. Still, the state's 300 judges managed to put their shoulders to the wheel and complete over 1.5 million cases last year. The Indiana Court of Appeals managed to decide a hundred more appeals than it received last year, an accomplishment for which they deserve our congratulations. As for the Supreme Court, I want to report on a promise I made to you in my 1989 speech:
At the end of 1985, the average time it took to resolve a direct appeal was two years. By the end of 1987, it was 13 months. It is now 10.3 months. In short we have cut in half the time people have to wait for a decision. We need to cut it in half again and we will.
At the end of 1994, the time was down to 5.8 months. It's not 50%, but it's awful close, and frankly we are proud of the accomplishment and determined to do better yet.
Saying goodbye to 1994, I am struck by how many of our priorities for 1995 are issues brought center stage by members of the legislature and mentioned by Governor Bayh in his speech earlier this week. I'll talk about two of those today -- the problems of crime and the needs of children.
Courts and Crime
A reporter recently asked me about the court's role in fighting crime, and in truth, about half of all the things we do involve enforcement of the criminal laws. Last year prosecutors filed more than 46,000 felonies and 183,000 misdemeanors in Indiana's courts, not to mention another 575,000 infractions. Bringing those prosecutions to a conclusion takes serious management, and just last month the Supreme Court directed the criminal court judges in each county to prepare a plan for allocating and managing the criminal cases in each county. It is our assignment to sort out who is guilty and who is innocent, and these plans, which will be put in place by July, should help make that happen more promptly and fairly.
The courts take seriously our role in meting out punishment to the guilty, and Indiana has more prisoners partly because prosecutors are pursuing more criminals and judges are imposing tougher sentences. Even with all the money spent in the last few years building new prisons, there are nearly seven times as many convicts serving at least part of their sentences under the supervision of local court probation departments as there are in the state's prisons. The number of people supervised under probation rose from 76,000 in 1989 to 104,000 in 1994. Convicted felons make up the fastest growing segment of this expanding population, and probation officers tell us that a growing number of those felons are people who have committed some violent act. Some of these might have been sent to prison in a quieter time, but there is no room in prison now, and there still will not be even much room if the 1000-bed new prison is constructed.
Concerned about this trend, judges have been working to toughen up the leash which probation represents. We now commonly impose mandatory drug testing, mandatory drug and alcohol treatment, mandatory community service (call it labor, if you like), restitution to victims, and very tight supervision through methods such as electronic home detention.
Judges are concerned about effectively keeping tabs on these convicts. The number of convicts to be supervised has been growing since 1989 at a rate 75% faster than the number of officers doing the supervising. We have asked from time to time that you consider beefing up the force of officers who constitute this line of public protection, presently financed only by county governments and fees extracted from the convicts themselves. You have not had the money to do that, though, so we have moved to tighten up local court programs using whatever resources we could round up.
First, we have begun to create a real state-wide system. Every probation officer now uses professional and standard instruments for assessing an offender and providing judges with data which can allow them to make good decisions about whether to send people to prison or to do something else. We have also created a standard state-wide method by which probation departments determine the level of supervision each convict requires. This caseload management system promotes public safety by identifying people who need the tightest supervision, and it helps probation departments prioritize their work at a time when there really aren't enough people to go around. These management tools have been several years in the making, and every department in the state began using this system two weeks ago. It will take some money to make it succeed. Representatives David Frizzell and Dennis Avery have introduced House Bill 1105 to provide the Indiana Judicial Center with the implementation of funds, just $79,000, to make this work. I ask that you invest this small amount in insurance. Absent major new expenditures, it represents our best thinking about what to do.
Death Penalty Cases
On the absolute other end of the spectrum, many of you have recently asked questions about the death penalty and how it works and why it all seems to take so long. It does take a long time, and I am far from content about how it functions. Long before the recent spate of publicity, the Supreme Court launched a number of initiatives to save time in death penalty appeals without damaging the presentation of legitimate issues by people sentenced to death.
First, we turned to technology to help on the physical preparation of the first document in an appeal -- the transcript of the evidence presented at trial. The Court amended its rules to require that all death penalty trials be recorded through the use of a modern technique called computer-assisted transcription. The change has been dramatic. Some death penalty cases in the 1980s were delayed as long as two years while people typed the trial transcript by hand. Now, the transcripts tend to come in 90 days.
Second, the Supreme Court began supervising individual death penalty cases. We review every case several times a year, and we have become more aggressive about demanding that the cases be moved through the system. In two cases within the recent past, when prisoners waited three months, six months, nine months before filing petitions for post-conviction relief, we finally said, "if you have something to file, do it in 30 days or we'll direct the trial judge to set an execution date." That works.
Third, we have now limited the number of times that all prisoners, including death penalty prisoners, can go back to court for another appeal. Until last year, a prisoner was entitled to file new post-conviction petitions as many times as he wanted. Now, every death row prisoner may file one post-conviction petition as a matter of right, and no one may file another one without permission of the Supreme Court.
Fourth, while working to combat delay, we have redoubled our commitment to assuring that people charged with the ultimate penalty get adequate legal help. There is one southern state where a death penalty defendant was defended by someone with six-months experience as a lawyer, and another state where a third-year law student was appointed to represent the defendant.
Indiana has held itself to a higher standard. With help from the Public Defender Commission, an agency you created in 1989, the Supreme Court made Indiana just the second state in the country to adopt minimum qualifications for lawyers handling capital cases. They assure that if you are a poor person charged in a capital case your lawyer is not doing his on-the-job training on you. It's something Indiana has done that is right and decent, and I was proud last year at a meeting of the American Bar Association where Indiana's effort was widely heralded. It is a critical corollary, I think, of our effort to bring death penalty cases to a fair and just and faster conclusion. I tell you firmly that we spend more time on these cases and take them more seriously than any other thing we do.
Courts and Children
We take pretty seriously, too, our responsibility for Indiana's children. We all know that a great national debate has begun about making drastic changes in helping the children of broken families. The word "orphanage" has re-entered our vocabulary. These problems have long been high on the list for juvenile and family judges here in Indiana. The Supreme Court's initiative for 1995 will be a major project to assess how well courts handle matters involving mistreated children, preservation of families versus removal of children from the homes, periodic review of children in foster care, and so on. We will re-examine what decisions we make and how we make them and develop new plans to do a better job.
I think we are already doing better as a result of plans laid last year. Our juvenile judges begin 1995 with local budgets for the care of children developed for the first time ever through a cooperative effort by county councils and county commissioners, the county Office of Family and Children, and the judges themselves. This is a direct result of your action last year in adopting House Act 1380, one of a series of recommendations resulting from a task force Governor Bayh appointed from all three branches of Indiana government, chaired by Justice Frank Sullivan when he was still in the Governor's Office. This system of joint fiscal planning at the local level is a good step forward, and we stand ready to join with you on other elements of that task force report.
We think we made progress, too, a few weeks ago when we reformed our rules on injunctions in domestic cases to abolish the ancient system of perfunctory mutual restraining orders. We think our new rules will make courts more effective at combating domestic violence.
Speaking of new tools, we think there is much merit in the proposals made by Speaker Mannweiler and by Governor Bayh to give juvenile court judges a wider range of tools, including more sentencing options, to deal with the changing nature of children in distress and children who inflict distress. These proposals reaffirm that children need separate attention, and we look forward to discussing these changes with you over the next few months.
Pay for Prosecutors and Judges
Finally, as I was on my way out the door the other night after the Governor's speech a member of the House said he knew I would be speaking today and asked, "Will you be needling us about the pay bill?" "Well, just a little", I said. "That's OK", he replied, "we probably could use some reminding. It's something we need to get done."
I want to begin by acknowledging that last spring 46 members of the Senate and 90 members of the House voted to raise the pay of judges and prosecutors and to change the way judges are paid. Those votes were very gratifying, and I thank you for casting them. After those bills failed on the last night of the session, a few judges reacted in ways that were less than constructive, and I apologize for that. Let me say a few words about this unfinished business, and why Senate Bill 82, sponsored by Senator Luke Kenley and House Bill 1570, sponsored by John Keeler, are such a good idea.
About how judges are paid. Every trial judge receives a specified annual salary, paid mostly by the state and partly by each county. There are three other ways they can be paid. First, in many counties judges receive a supplementary salary from the county. Second, a judge earns $10 a day if he or she is working on a case transferred from another county. Third, a judge earns $25 for going over to a neighboring courthouse to work as a special judge. With all this in place, it is very complicated to say just what Indiana judges make, but we do know that many judges get none of these extras, and they make the same salary they've made for five years now, and they rank 54th in the country.
The Kenley bill and the Keeler bill each call for this crazy-quilt to be abolished and replaced with one salary and a limited county option. This is exactly the right thing to do. The present system bears no relation to any known public policy, it causes people to do things more inefficiently because they are paid to do them that way, and it is generally an embarrassment reminiscent of the old justice of the peace system in which the justice of the peace got paid more when he levied higher fines. It needs to be buried and I implore you to bury it.
Second, on the question of how much judges and prosecutors are paid. In the last 24 years, there have been 18 pay raises for Indiana's 35,000 full-time state employees and only 7 pay raises for Indiana's prosecutors and judges. Had prosecutors and judges been treated the same -- some years getting 2%, some years getting 4%, some years getting nothing -- there would be no pay bill because there would not need to be. The Kenley bill and the Keeler bill and the Supreme Court's budget request largely take this approach, setting the pay at what it would have been if it had been part of the regular annual adjustments. All three proposals are within a few thousand dollars of each other, and they are all pretty close to the bill both houses voted out last year. In short, these bills are a pretty reasonable way to complete last year's business.
All of this has to do with the kinds of people Hoosiers find when they enter a courtroom. They walk in expecting gray hair, experience, and many times they find it. Many other times, though, they discover that the youngest, least experienced, lowest-paid lawyer in the courtroom is the judge.
I want Hoosiers to walk into a courtroom and know their cases will be heard by our brightest and best, women and men of talent and experience, people who've been recruited from among the most successful lawyers. I want them to find dedicated people, a winning team, of high morale.
We need to find a better way, though, to conduct this business with each other. Instead of the periodic big pay bills and the political din which accompanies them, we need to find a way to make these decisions as small adjustments, just as the state does for its other full-time employees. Senator Kenley's bill proposes a good way to do this, but there are other ways to avoid the tension between the branches of Indiana government that these issues generate. A real accomplishment for 1995 would be for us to find our way off the treadmill on which we have encountered each other over these last twenty-five years.
I express it that way because there are so many things on which the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary cooperate in ways that make Indiana a fine place to work on the public's business. I've mentioned several of the ways we work together today, in areas like crime and the needs of children. We are three branches, but just one government, and the atmosphere of respect and cooperation has of late been one that makes public service all so much easier than it might be otherwise. Like you, I consider this work a privilege and a trust, and much of the time it is a pleasure, and I thank you for helping it be so.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the state of your judiciary.

LIBERTY � Candy Brown has fond memories of visits to her grandparents� house. She was charmed by the place and the country setting. Years later, it became her own sanctuary. Along the way, she found spice and excitement in a new husband � and a new career.
The former paralegal now greets customers at her own convenience store.
In the past month, Candy and Steven Brown opened Brown�s Store. It is located at the crossroads of White�s Chapel and Old Staley roads on N.C. 49 between Liberty and Ramseur. They carry soft drinks and bottled water for 50 cents, milk, bread, eggs and some basic necessities. Their signature item is Rose Potted Meat.
�It�s got a little spicy kick to it,� Candy said. �Area loggers, farmers, older folks and our neighbors were asking us to carry it. You don�t find it everywhere.�
She tells the story that her mother in Virginia used to mix it with cream cheese. The tiny can is packed with meat which is usually spread on saltine crackers, perfect for a snack or quick lunch.
Customers have been asking them to start selling Rose Hog Brains so they can have brains and eggs for breakfast.
The Browns are checking into that request.
That�s how Brown�s Store works. If customers ask for something, Candy and Steven try to carry it.
Part of the charm at Brown�s Store is that it has quickly turned into a neighborhood hang out.
�Remember when the men used to pass time at the gas station? Well, they�re doing it here now. Customers get a drink and something to munch on, sit down and chat,� Candy said.
One of the stories everyone has been talking about is how the rainy weather affected Candy and Steven�s housing plans.
Candy had moved into the old homestead. It needed some repairs. A friend suggested she hire Steven Brown.
�When he came over, we talked about the project for about 30 minutes,� she laughed. Nearly four hours later, they were getting to know one another and eventually wound up getting married.
Steven had fixed the place up � new plumbing, new walls, new flooring. Ten days after Candy had their second child, the house burned.
They decided to put a modular home on the land and found one they liked. For months, they rented a place a good distance away and wanted to move back home as soon as possible. So they purchased a demonstrator unit off the lot. Construction crews tried to set the foundation, but Mother Nature decided to play havoc.
We all know how that story has gone. Rain. Rain. Rain.
When the home was delivered, the footings didn�t match it. And when the building was unwrapped, there was such a leak that the manufacturing company said it could not be repaired. They would need a brand new home.
Given the delays, Steven and Candy took time to make some major decisions.
He was a truck driver and would come off the road. She could save money, and be happier, by staying at home with her children, saving on expensive day care.
Since the old building which once housed Brown�s Exxon was right next door, they decided to take a leap of faith and re-open it as a convenience store. And, they converted the upstairs to a temporary home.
No, you can�t fill your tank at Brown�s Store. But you can get soup, cereal, crayons, engine oil, spices, munchies, toilet paper, laundry detergent, bubble gum and live bait, instead. You can even set up a yard sale � for free.
Brown�s Store is located at 3252 N.C. 49 North. Hours are 7 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Saturday.
For information, call (336) 622-1320.

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - A judge has given LSU RB Jeremy Hill a curfew after his recent arrest after a bar fight.
Judge Bonnie Jackson ordered Hill, 20, not to go to any bars and set his curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Hill was suspended indefinitely from LSU's football team after he was charged with simple battery in connection with a fight outside Reggie's Bar in Tigerland in April.
According to an affidavit of probable cause released by authorities, the victim told officers Hill hit him in the head numerous times. It also stated officers were shown a video of the incident that "clearly shows the defendant striking the victim."
A second suspect, Robert Bayardo, then allegedly hit the victim and knocked him unconscious, according to BRPD spokesman Cpl. L'Jean Mckneely.
Hill left the scene before police arrived, but was later arrested.
Hill was arrested on Jan. 12, 2011 on a charge of oral sexual battery. He pleaded guilty in Jan. 2012 to carnal knowledge of a juvenile, which is a misdemeanor, and was given two years of probation.
The next court date in the Reggie's Bar case is August 16th.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Wellesley College generated a .342 hitting percentage en route to a 25-13, 25-16, 25-22 victory over MIT in a NEWMAC women's volleyball match on Tuesday night. Junior Sydney Carfagno (Los Angles, Calif.) produced a match-high 14 kills for the Blue (18-2, 6-0 NEWMAC) to go along with seven digs, three blocks, and two aces. Senior Tatiana Berger (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) paced the Engineers' (14-7, 4-2 NEWMAC) balanced attack with seven kills and added six digs and two aces.
Wellesley jumped out to a 4-1 lead that grew to 21-8 in the first set. MIT put together a three-point spurt that featured a kill from senior Rachel Hunt (Arlington Heights, Ill.) and two aces by classmate Emma Gargus (Columbus, Ohio). A Carfagno kill stopped the brief rally and resulted in an exchange of points that closed out the set.
In the second stanza, the Blue built a 7-2 advantage, but back-to-back kills by senior Kristine Bunker (Falmouth, Mass.) along with strikes from juniors Jenny Astrachan (Austin, Texas) and Nicole Gagnier (Atlanta, Ga.) brought the Engineers within two (8-6). A kill and two aces by Carfagno fueled a 7-1 spurt that increased Wellesley's cushion to 15-7. MIT slowly chipped away at the deficit as two aces by Berger once again narrowed the gap to two (18-16). This was as close as it would get as a pair of errors led to seven unanswered points and the win for the Blue.
The Engineers registered the first three points of the final frame but Wellesley evened the score at four on a block by freshman Brooke Fieldman (Greenwood Village, Colo.) and senior Kira Jordan (Franklin Lakes, N.J.). A total of 14 ties and five lead changes would occur until an MIT hitting error and a Carfagno strike gave the Blue a 23-22 edge, forcing the Engineers to call a timeout. Following the break, Carfagno picked up another kill as freshman Maddie Koh (Seattle, Wash.) clinched the victory with an ace.
Bunker and Hunt both had six kills for the Cardinal and Gray as Astrachan finished with five of her own. Freshman Tori Wuthrich (Grosse Pointe Woods, Mich.) led the way with eight digs, followed by six from classmate Jennie Glerum (Redmond, Wash.). Gagnier rounded out the squad with 27 assists.
Senior Kellyn O'Brady (Garden City, Mich.) tallied eight kills, a .583 hitting performance, nine digs, and two aces for the Blue. Senior Hilary Ayers (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) compiled 14 assists, five digs, and three aces as Koh dished out 13 assists. Senior Traci Hamanaka (Burbank, Calif.) collected 14 digs while junior Caitlin Laughlin (St. Louis Park, Minn.) and Fieldman recorded six and five blocks, respectively.
MIT continues conference action on Thursday, Oct. 10 when it visits Wheaton College. Next up for Wellesley will be the Seven Sisters Tournament to be held October 12-13 at Mount Holyoke College.

SQL Server 2000 Meta Data Services is a repository technology that stores and manages metadata for SQL Server. Instead of building database schemas over and over, Meta Data Services allows you to freeze an entire schema for use in other projects. You can also use these schemas for training, testing, or debugging. In this article, the authors will review the various components of Meta Data Services and show how it can be programmed using a Visual Basic client, XML, and XSLT. They will also show you how to manage and manipulate your metadata by generating a simple database schema using a SQL Server repository.

Aquarion eyes infrastructure upgrades near fire scene
A senior Aquarion Water Co. official says the utility is looking to upgrade part of its antiquated infrastructure in the section of Old Greenwich where three homes were ravaged by fire during Superstorm Sandy, all in close proximity to a hydrant rendered useless because of low pressure.
"There certainly are issues with an old distribution system," George Logan, director of engineering and planning for the utility, said Tuesday. "But there are things that we can do to help the flow to that area."
One solution that Logan said Aquarion is considering is the replacement of major feeder pipes in the vicinity of Binney Lane, scene of an Oct. 29 inferno that was the worst fire in recent town history.
But that could take a year or two, according to Logan, who said that Greenwich's stringent post-excavation road repaving standards could dictate the price tag and ultimately which upgrades are done.
"I'm not suggesting that we're going to replace every main in the Binney Lane area," said Logan, who characterized the waterfront enclave as a bottleneck in terms of water distribution.
Enduring 80-mph winds off Long Island Sound, firefighters were forced to transport water by tanker truck from outlying hydrants to Binney Lane because the nearest hydrant lacked pressure.
Greenwich taxpayers foot the bill for nearly $1 million in hydrant and pipe rental fees that the Fire Department pays on an annual basis to Aquarion, which is being pressed by local public safety officials to provide flow readings for its hydrants. The hydrants and pipes on Binney Lane are privately owned, however.
"The town pays a significant fee to the water company every year for hydrant and line rental," said Daniel Warzoha, the town's emergency management director. "Putting on my retired fire chief's hat, I would expect that the water company would be providing us with the most accurate and up-to-date information on water flow testing."
Throughout Greenwich, there are about 1,270 fire hydrants and 293 linear miles of water mains, according to Aquarion.
Logan said Aquarion will work with fire officials, with whom he met Monday to discuss the situation, to determine which hydrants in the neighborhood should be tested. The utility is reluctant to test all of the hydrants because it could stir up sediment that discolors the water.
"It's not practical to do that," Logan said.
When Warzoha was fire chief almost a decade ago, he said he threatened to withhold the quarterly hydrant and pipe rental fee until he received flow data for the town's hydrants from the water company.
Logan was unable to say when was the last time the hydrant nearest to the fire scene had been tested by Aquarion, which he said customarily checks hydrants every three years.
He also could not say what specifically caused the low pressure.
"That certainly is a lower-flow hydrant because of where it is in the distribution system," Logan said.
Even if that hydrant was capable of providing 500 gallons of water per minute, the baseline for fire protection, fire officials say they would not have been able to save the three multimillion-dollar homes and a standalone garage.
Over the next few days, Aquarion is expected to provide the Fire Department with electronic and paper copies of its water distribution map for Greenwich, according to Logan.
"They've been very cooperative to date," Fire Chief Peter Siecienski said of Aquarion.
The town will be required to sign an agreement that it will not publicly share the information, which the utility considers to be sensitive from a security standpoint.
"You can imagine the havoc if the distribution map got into the wrong hands," Logan said.
Warzoha said that is in keeping with the town's non-disclosure policy for its emergency plan.
"I, quite candidly, think that what they're saying is well within their right," Warzoha said.
Where Warzoha disagrees with Aquarion concerns the town's road repaving standards, which he said are designed to protect the public.
"We've heard that argument for 30 years in town, and it just doesn't hold water," he said.
Aquarion is expected to provide the fire department with a list of higher flow hydrants in the coming weeks that will also be privileged information.
Logan denied that there is an underlying flow problem in the utility's pipe network, however.
"From my view of the world, there is no low pressure issue in that Binney Lane area whatsoever," Logan told Greenwich Time on Tuesday. "We have not received any customer complaints of low pressure for their domestic use whatsoever."

About Arkive
What is Arkive? Top
Arkive's mission is to promote a greater understanding of global biodiversity, and the conservation of the world's most threatened species, using the power of wildlife imagery.
Arkive is leading the 'virtual' conservation effort - gathering together films, photographs and audio recordings of the world's species, prioritising those most at risk of extinction, and building them into comprehensive multimedia digital profiles.
Using these films, photographs and audio recordings, Arkive is creating a unique record of the world's increasingly threatened biodiversity – complementing other species information datasets and making this key resource available for scientists, conservationists, educators and the general public.
Why is there a need for Arkive? Top
Films and photographs are an emotive, powerful and effective means of building environmental awareness. They can show what a species looks like and why it is special. As such, they are a valuable educational resource and conservation tool.
Continued habitat destruction and the rise in extinction rates also mean that for many species, films, photographs and audio recordings may soon be all that remains. They are, therefore, important historical and scientific records of the species they depict.
This material is, however, scattered around the world, held in a variety of commercial, specialist and private collections, much of it inaccessible to the general public and unavailable for scientific and educational use. Like the wildlife they depict, the images of these rare species are themselves endangered, with no guarantee that they will survive for future generations. Many records have already been lost forever, with companies basing storage decisions on commercial, rather than scientific, cultural or historical values. Privately owned materials, sometimes of considerable significance, may also be lost or discarded following the death of their owner. Arkive is bringing these important records together in one place for safe-keeping.
Who is creating Arkive? Top
Arkive is a not-for-profit initiative of Wildscreen (www.wildscreen.org.uk), a UK-based charity, whose mission is to promote conservation through wildlife imagery.
Wildscreen's principal initiatives are the Wildscreen Festival (www.wildscreenfestival.org), the world's largest and most prestigious wildlife and environmental film festival, WildPhotos (www.wildphotos.org.uk), the UK's leading nature photography symposium, WildFilmHistory (www.wildfilmhistory.org), an online guide to the pioneering people and landmark productions behind one hundred years of wildlife filmmaking, and Wildscreen Outreach, a touring programme of award-winning film screenings and master classes to reach, engage and inspire new audiences.
The Arkive project is also supported by Wildscreen USA, Inc., a non-profit organisation based in Washington, DC.
Wildscreen USA is spearheading US efforts in support of the global Arkive project - coordinating work with leading media and environmental groups located in the US, developing strategic partnerships with US-based technology providers, and working to continue to grow Arkive's substantial US audience.
Who had the idea for Arkive? Top
The visionary behind Arkive was the late Christopher Parsons OBE, founder of Wildscreen, former Head of the BBC Natural History Unit and IMAX film producer. Through the activities of the Wildscreen Festival, Chris realised the scientific and historical importance of creating a centralised collection of natural history films and images, preserved and maintained for future generations. The original feasibility study was undertaken in the early 1990s but it wasn't until ten years later, with the advent of digital technology and the UK lottery funding opportunities, that his idea could become a reality.
Who is supporting Arkive? Top
Arkive is supported by a wide range of organisations and individuals and this support takes a variety of different forms.
Major broadcasters, the biggest film and photo libraries, conservation organisations and leading academic institutions have all been quick to recognise the importance of Arkive and the value of creating a central safe-haven for their material. They have been generous in their co-operation and donation of their most important records.
The project is also being backed by a broad range of conservation organisations and natural history institutions, including: BirdLife International, Conservation International, Natural England, Fauna & Flora International, IUCN (The International Union for Conservation of Nature), Natural History Museum London, RSPB, Smithsonian Institution, World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), World Conservation Society, WWF, and the Zoological Society of London.
The project is also financially supported by a range of different supporters.
Who is funding Arkive? Top
To help set Arkive up initially Hewlett-Packard contributed $2 million of hardware, software, professional and technical services. The project continues to develop with help from a range of supporters.
Arkive's principal supporter is now the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi.
For a more detailed list of Arkive funders please see our supporter pages.
How can I help Arkive? Top
If you have any photos, footage or species information that you think we should add into Arkive please let us know. There are many ways to get involved with Arkive, from contributing your photos to just spreading the word about us – every little helps!
Arkive species profiles
How are the species selected? Top
Arkive's aim is to compile audio-visual profiles, where such media exists, for all species that are considered rare or threatened. Arkive has therefore prioritised work on the animals, plants and fungi currently threatened with extinction, according to the IUCN's Red List of Threatened Species.
Please see Arkive's most wanted lists for details of the species that are still eluding us.
If you know of films or photographs that exist for any threatened species, we would be delighted to hear from you.
Please see: Arkive contacts.
Arkive also holds profiles for around 740 species that occur in the UK. This work was carried out in collaboration with Natural England, the Government agency that champions the conservation of wildlife, geology and wild places in England. The first 360 species were taken from Natural England's Species Recovery Programme (SRP). The next group of species covered by Arkive included those listed as Priority Species under the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. Then, in order to produce a comprehensive audio-visual record of Britain's rich natural history heritage, a selection of more common and familiar species were also chosen, in consultation with relevant wildlife and conservation organisations and species experts.
Who writes the species fact-files? Top
The species fact-files have been researched and written in-house by a team of qualified biologists.
We also run the Arkive and Universities scheme, where students studying relevant subjects at university can research and write Arkive species profiles as part of their assessed coursework, or voluntarily to gain valuable experience. All of these texts are reviewed and edited by our in-house team before being published on the website.
Our aim is to have all species information authenticated by relevant species experts. This authentication information is published on the website.
We would also like to thank Natural England, who contributed a number of the species information texts for the British species.
If you are a species expert and would like to help with the authentication of the Arkive species information, we would be pleased to hear from you. Authenticators are acknowledged on-screen, with links through to relevant web activities.
Please see: Arkive contacts.
How are the images and footage selected? Top
Arkive has an Accessions Advisory Panel, made up of eminent scientists and biologists. They helped set the recommendations for the quantity and type of images that should be selected for each Arkive species. For each species, our aim is to build up a complete audio-visual profile of its life-history, its appearance, habitat and characteristic behaviours. For some species there are huge amounts of material to catalogue and select from, whilst for others there may only be one or two images in existence.
Research, review and selection of the available media is undertaken in-house by a team of qualified biologists, with the highest quality media being sought for each species.
How can I contribute to Arkive? Top
We are always open to suggestions of species that should be included in Arkive. If you have media, or know of some that exists, for threatened species that we have not yet covered in Arkive, or can add to the collections already in Arkive, then please do contact us.
What can I do with Arkive's still and moving images? Top

Arkive technical questions
How do I play the Arkive videos? Top
The Arkive website plays video in H.264/MPEG 4 format.
Most web browsers support Flash video and therefore will be using a Flash video player, but you may need to install a Flash plug-in specific to your browser. If you see a black screen or message about a missing video, please install Flash.
Visit the Adobe Flash download page for further instructions and help.
The Arkive videos require at least version 9.0.115 of the Adobe Flash plug-in.
Mobile devices should use the built-in video player for the device and therefore no further software is required to watch the videos.
Do I need a fast broadband connection to view Arkive videos? Top
A broadband connection speed of at least 768Kb/s is recommended to play the Arkive videos at their highest quality. However, if you have a slower connection speed you will still be able to play the Arkive videos, but you may experience longer delays before video playback begins and video quality will be reduced.
What is the minimum specification of computer
required to play Arkive videos? Top
Computers purchased new within the last 4 years should be able to play the Arkive videos. Many earlier machines should also be able to play the Arkive videos satisfactorily.
How can I make the videos play more smoothly? Top

However, if you experience problems, check that you are not downloading other content from the internet while you browse the Arkive website. Some hidden background processes such as Windows update or anti-virus updates may also cause your internet connection to slow down during video playback. If you are unable to play the videos at all please contact email@example.com.
How do I link to the Arkive website? Top

HONOLULU (AP) - A federal judge in Hawaii is allowing a former child model to dismiss a lawsuit that accused "X-Men" director Bryan Singer of sex abuse.
Wednesday's ruling gives Michael Egan III the option to re-file the lawsuit. Singer wanted the case dismissed with prejudice, with attorney costs and fees imposed against Egan.
U.S. District Judge Susan Oki Mollway denied Singer's request, ruling he didn't prove that Egan's voluntary dismissal of the case would damage the director's reputation.
Egan has said in court documents that he wants to dismiss the case not because it lacks merit but because he can't find an attorney to represent him.
Egan's former attorneys asked to be removed from the case after their relationship with him deteriorated.
Egan previously dropped three similar lawsuits against other entertainment figures.
