Enron Email Data with Manager-Subordinate Relationship Metadata
GraphML Representation of the Enron Email Dataset – Version 0.12
This dataset contains a representation of the Enron email dataset derived from the MySQL representations previously released by USC/ISI 1 and UC Berkeley 2. In addition, it contains ground truth about a set of manager-subordinate relationships within the company that existed between January 2000 and November 2001 3. This ground truth data was the basis for the experiments on social relationship identification conducted in 4.
Email Message Data
The email message data is derived from the messages, addresses and recipients tables in the UC Berkeley MySQL database. The UC Berkeley data was selected over the USC/ISI data due to its completeness. Both datasets have been conditioned in some unknown manner by these institutions. After inspecting both, it became clear that the UC Berkeley dataset contains more dimensions of the original data.
The GraphML representation of the messages captures much of the information associated with a given message using Email Address and Message nodes. The attributes of each node type are described below.
address – [String] The email address represented by the node.
fullyObserved – [Boolean] According to the USC/ISI data, the Enron email dataset represents the union of the inboxes of 151 employees. The addresses of those employees are listed in the employeelist table in the USC/ISI MySQL database.
type – [String] "Email Address"
datetime – [String] The datetime associated with the message in UTC.
epochSecs – [Integer] The datetime represented as seconds from the epoch.
subject – [String] The subject of the message.
body – [String] The body of the message.
emailID – [String] The email message ID from the message header.
type – [String] "Message"
Senders and recipients of the message are captured by SENT and RECEIVED_BY relationships. The attributes of each relationship type are described below.
datetime – [String] The datetime associated with the message in UTC.
epochSecs – [Integer] The datetime represented as seconds from the epoch.
datetime – [String] The datetime associated with the message in UTC.
epochSecs – [Integer] The datetime represented as seconds from the epoch.
type – [String] "to" / "cc" / "bcc"
order – [Integer] The position of the recipient address in the list of addresses with the specified type.
The datetime and epochSecs fields in the SENT and RECEIVED_BY relationships are identical to those of the Message nodes that they are connected to.
The employees for which manager-subordinate relationship ground truth is available are represented by Person nodes. The attributes of a Person node are described below.
lastName – [String] The individual's last name.
firstName – [String] The individual's first name.
provenance – [String] The source containing evidence of the individual's existence.
type – [String] "Person"
Manager-subordinate social relationships between individuals are represented by DIRECTLY_REPORTED_TO relationships in GraphML. An individual's use of an email address is captured by USED_EMAIL_ADDRESS relationships. The attributes of these relationships are described below.
startDatetime – [String] Datetime for the beginning of the interval over which the relationship is known to exist.
endDatetime – [String] Datetime for the end of the interval over which the relationship is known to exist.
evidenceType – [String] "Interval". If the evidence were derived from an email, for example, the evidence type would often be point evidence since most messages do not provide evidence of the extent of the relationship.
provenance – [String] The source containing evidence of the relationship's existence.
type – [String] "Social Relationship"
No attributes
Images depicting the entity-relationship diagram and the attributes associated with nodes and relationships are available 5.
Version 0.12 – Corrected minor date error in date range for manager-subordinate relationships.
Version 0.11 – Removed duplicate Person nodes.
Version 0.10 – Initial release.

Public Domain (Data - Uncopyrightable)
There are some things that copyright law will not protect. Copyright will not protect the titles of a book or movie, nor will it protect short phrases such as "Make my day." Copyright protection also doesn't cover facts, ideas or theories. These things are free for all to use without authorization.
a. Short Phrases
Phrases such as "Show me the money" or "Beam me up" are not protected under copyright law. Short phrases, names, titles or small groups of words are considered common idioms of the English language and are free for anyone to use. In subsequent chapters we'll explain how this rule applies to specific types of works. However, a short phrase used as an advertising slogan is protectible under trademark law. In that case, you could not use a similar phrase for the purpose of selling products or services. b. Facts and Theories
A fact or a theory—for example, the fact that a comet will pass by the Earth in 2027 —is not protected by copyright. If a scientist discovered this fact, anyone would be free to use it without asking for permission from the scientist. Similarly, if someone creates a theory that the comet can be destroyed by a nuclear device, anyone could use that theory to create a book or movie. However, the unique manner in which a fact is expressed may be protected. Therefore, if a filmmaker created a movie about destroying a comet with a nuclear device, the specific way he presented the ideas in the movie would be protected by copyright.
EXAMPLE: Neil Young wrote a song, "Ohio," about the shooting of four college students during the Vietnam War. You are free to use the facts surrounding the shooting but you may not copy Mr. Young's unique expression of these facts without his permission.
In some cases, you are not free to copy a collection of facts because the collection of facts may be protectible as a compilation (see Section B5). For more information on how copyright applies to facts, refer to Chapter 2, Section F3.
c. Ideas
Copyright law does not protect ideas; it only protects the particular way an idea is expressed. What's the difference between an idea and its expression? In the case of a story or movie, the idea is really the plot in its most basic form. For example, the "idea" of the movie Contact is that a determined scientist, seeking to improve humankind, communicates with alien life forms. The same idea has been used in many motion pictures, books and television shows including The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Abyss and Star Trek. Many paintings, photographs and songs contain similar ideas. You can always use the underlying idea or theme —such as communicating with aliens for the improvement of the world —but you cannot copy the unique manner in which the author expresses the idea. This unique expression may include literary devices such as dialogue, characters and subplots. d. U.S. Government Works
Any work created by a U.S. government employee or officer is in the public domain, provided that the work is created in that person's official capacity. For example, during the 1980s a songwriter used words from a speech by then-President Ronald Reagan as the basis for song lyrics. The words from the speech were in the public domain and permission was not required from Ronald Reagan. Keep in mind that this rule applies only to works created by federal employees, and not to works created by state or local government employees. However, state and local laws and court decisions are in the public domain.
Some federal publications (or portions of them) are protected under copyright law and that fact is usually indicated on the title page or in the copyright notice. For example, the IRS may acquire permission to use a copyrighted chart in a federal tax booklet. The document may indicate that a certain chart is "Copyright Dr. Matt Polazzo. " In that case, you could not copy the chart without permission from Dr. Polazzo.

supplies: (ranger) craft sheet, cut n' dry felt, distress reinkers/forest moss/peeled paint/vintage photo/walnut stain, distress ink/stormy sky/weathered wood/walnut stain/fired brick/aged mahogany/pumice stone/frayed burlap, archival ink/jet black, heat tool, ink blending tool, enamel accents, mini mister, matte multi-medium, clear embossing powder, #8 manila tag; (idea-ology) adornments, baubles, jump rings, trimmings; (tonic) scissors; (stamps) winter sketchbook stamp set, holiday wishes stamp set, fabulous flourishes stamp set, urban tapestry stamp set
(step 1): select the stamp you want to make a "custom" stamp pad for as well as a sheet of cut n' dry felt. *it's very important to use cut n' dry felt and not foam for this.
(step 2): ink image with jet black archival ink. *if you don't have archival, any permanent/waterproof ink will work, but it has to be permanent.
(step 3): stamp image on to the fabric side of the cut n' dry squaring up the block of your stamp with the edges of the cut n' dry. be sure to press firmly as you're stamping on a squishy surface. DO NOT LIFT YOUR STAMP OFF YET!
(step 4): while stamp is still in place, draw around the outline of the wood block with a pen.
(step 5): remove stamp revealing your image.
(step 6): clean you stamp off in whatever stamp cleaning "ritual" you practice. it's just a dry towel for me, maybe a mist of water every now and then but not a drop of stamp cleaner...sorry, don't get me started. i simply don't want to waste time scrubbing a stamp only to use it again, and besides i don't like the residue stamp cleaners leave on my stamps. okay, enough said...moving on...
*if you're using a cling mounted stamp, there is no need to use so much cut n' dry. just make sure your image fits.
(step 7): cut on the marked likes using a sharp pair of scissors - this stuff is pretty thick.
(step 8): gather up the colors of distress reinkers of your choice. *normally you can use any type of dye reinker, but for this technique - distress reinkers are needed.
(step 9): begin coloring directly over your stamped image with various colors of reinkers. i prefer to work from light to dark colors by gently squeezing the dropper of the reinker to apply ink to the image. it's important to color ON the lines for this!
(step 10): continue inking with various colors of reinkers. *tip: i like to always use 2 tones of a color when i'm doing this.
(step 11): continue inking the entire image until colored. you'll notice the inks will start to wick out in the fabric of the cut n' dry - don't worry. the coolest thing of this product is when colors meet up against each other they won't cross contaminate. cut n' dry felt is the most amazing product!
(step 12): now it's time to stamp and since we've cut our cut n' dry to the same size of the wood block, it's simply a matter of stacking them up.
(step 13): tap the stamp several times to make sure it's inked up - it should look shiny.
(step 14): stamp the image on to your surface.
(step 15): lift stamp and check it out - everything is colored and shaded - amazing!
*you can simply reink your stamp and stamp it over and over again and each time it's colored perfectly. you can actually get about 40+ stampings from this pad before you need to reink it.
*to store your custom stamp pad, simply put it into a zip-loc bag and it will last for months. be sure to attach a stamped image to the outside so you know what image it is later.
(step 16): now this is the coolest part...you can apply clear embossing powder over the image after you've stamped it. yes - distress ink is an embossable dye, always has been. that's why we needed to use distress reinkers for this one.
(step 17): remove the excess embossing powder from the image.
(step 18): heat emboss the image with heat tool. *tip: if you hold the paper off of the table when you're heating it, this will allow the heat to pass through the paper and emboss your image in half the time. try it!
(step 19): once your image is completely embossed it will look as if every detail is covered with glossy accents, but even better because it's already dry and ready to go. (looks wet doesn't it?)
(step 20): ink the tag with distress ink using an ink blending tool. here i used stormy sky and weathered wood for a wintery sky look. since your image is embossed it will resist any color you apply over it. see it just gets better and better! finish off the edges with walnut stain.
(step 21): step the sheet music with pumice stone to create a background image.
(step 22): ink happy holidays stamp with fired brick distress ink.
(step 23): apply aged mahogany distress ink to various areas of the image to add some shadow. *by working light to dark you don't have to worry about contaminating your distress pads.
(step 24): stamp on to tag. i really like the different shades of red to give this depth.
(step 25): stamp the large flourish with frayed burlap over the tag to create another shadow image.
(step 26): stamp the splatter stamp with walnut stain to create a speckled edge.
(step 27): apply matte multi-medium to back of the bird adornment charm. *i love matte multi-medium as an adhesive for my embellishments since it holds everything, and i mean everything, and it doesn't leave any shine if you're a sloppy gluer like i tend to be...
(step 28): adhere to the tag and let dry.
(step 29): stain custom trimmings by misting with water and then swipe distress pad over to tint. let dry.
(step 30): attach trimmings to tag.
(step 31): attach baubles to large jump ring and attach to ribbon.
(step 32): prime enamel accents on craft sheet to establish flow.
(step 33): apply dots to centers of letters and let dry. that's it!
*in the details: i love the textures this tag has with the enameled pinecone image, the metal bird charm, and the dimensional shine of the enamel accents - it all comes together on this one!
remember the ticket i used on yesterday's tag? well it was created following the same technique:
first i cut some tickets from 12"x12" manila cardstock using my ticket strip die. *yes, they make manila cardstock just like the tags in 8 1/2"x11" and 12"x12" so you can cut it any shape or size.
then i inked my christmas ticket stamp on my custom cut n' dry felt stamp pad i created for that particular stamp, and to line it up with the ticket strip, i placed the stamp image side up on my table and pressed the ticket on to the stamp.
i embossed all of the tickets at once since the distress ink will stay wet for 5-10 minutes allowing you plenty of time to stamp them all and then emboss them all.
like i said, i really do think this technique is so cool...so cool that i couldn't stop creating after the tag was done. i just had to share more inspiration and ideas with you. i know, i know, but when the voices in my head start shouting the "how'bout's" i tend to listen (you know...how about this? how about that?). check out these other ways to use a cut n' dry felt custom stamp pad that will have you stamping everything in sight...
(water misting): ink stamp on custom stamp pad and mist stamp with water from mini mister.
(water misting): stamp image on to watercolor paper - the image will look very wet, no worries.
(water misting): dry image with heat tool and as you dry the inks will wick into the paper.
(water misting): this is the effect you get, the image looks watercolored and it's so very simple!
(watercolor): for a different watercolor effect, ink stamp on custom stamp pad and stamp on watercolor paper. brush over image with a water brush to move and blend the color.
(watercolor): distress is reactive with water so it blends beautifully. add a few flicks of the wet brush for droplets of ink in the background and dry with heat tool.
*how about making a plain stationary set using store bought cardstock and envelopes turing the ordinary...
*into custom stationary extraordinary!
now if you're thinking that this cool technique is just for the holidays - guess again. check out this custom pad i did for one of my favorite stamp images...

Talk:Transylvito Vampire
From ErfWiki
Rob made it clear in a WoT that bats have the ability to transfer images to their owners, not the other way around. --Kreistor 01:35, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
We haven't seen Don King fly either, but we don't use him as an example of non-flying Transylvitians.... All I'm saying is that we're reading too much into individual instances either way. Why should Don King fly if he's only been shown indoors? -- DevilDan

It all started in 1983 with the purchase of an old tin that once held Campfire brand marshmallows. Pam and Dave Sorensen liked the tins graphic design.
The purchase kicked off a 30-year collecting project that involved buying other tins for teas, peanut butter as well as dry goods cases, shop displays and candy racks.
Now, not only do the Sorensens live among their collection of whats known in the trade as country or general store items, but theyve also converted an entire room in their house into a kind of time capsule. A few friends get to see the collection from time to time, but its not open to the public.
We tell people we have this collection, said Dave Sorensen. They expect to see a couple of tin cans.
Thats not quite the situation.
Walk into the room past a barber chair and glass milk bottles from old Boise dairies, filled with white styrofoam beads to look full of milk, past the jukebox and the shoe store bench, where wooden animal heads divide the seats and youll encounter shelves salvaged from the old Ustick Mercantile.
The shelves hold hundreds of retro packages that once contained spices, saltines and coffee. The Sorensens collection includes items that go back decades.
Its all about the beautiful graphics on the packaging, they say. Its all about attention to detail. Small metal price tags hang on shelves. The tags hark back to a time that predated individual price stickers.
An obelisk shaped like the Washington Monument holds a selection of Hohner harmonicas. Wind up the obelisk and it will rotate for hours, said Dave Sorensen.
A glass case holds a collection of detachable mens collars. Another case holds hairnets for the ladies.
A Dr. Scholls display still contains a torturous-looking toe straightener and other foot-correcting items made of now-desicated flesh-toned padding.
Other cases hold tobacco tins with wonderful names: Dixie Queen, Green Turtle, Hand Bag. When all the tobacco was used up, kids used the tins as lunch boxes, the Sorensens said.
Children were lucky in this particular era of commerce. Other tobacco tins were rolly pollies, spherical tins resembling porcine men and women that must have delighted the younger set.
The Sorensens collection includes a 1920s-era promotional tin train made from multicolored Tasty Food coffee tins. Parents could buy different colors of cans. When the coffee was gone, the tins became train compartments. The company stashed the toys train wheels and other accoutrements inside the tins, buried in the coffee not unlike prizes in Cracker Jack, said Pam Sorensen.
Were lucky, said Pam Sorensen. We both love collecting the same kinds of things.
The downside: Theres no one to talk the other out of buying more stuff and growing the collection.
Pam Sorensen isnt sure where she got her love of collecting. Besides the store, an entire bedroom in her house is filled with antique sewing items, childrens clothes and dolls paper and otherwise.
Collecting is both a tribute to and a departure from her family. She spent lots of time in her grandmothers Boise houses when she was growing up. Daves grandmother lived in Boise as well. Pam thinks that early exposure to the older generation helped inspire both Sorensens love of history and retro style.
Pams father, Sherm Perry, owned Sherm Perry Furniture from the 1950s until the 1980s in various buildings, including the current home of 10 Barrel Brewing Company in Downtown Boise.
Pams mother liked to say that the store was Boises first contemporary furniture store. The Perrys specialized in midcentury modern design. Think Mad Men.
So the family had an artistic sensibility. But my mother didnt want anything old, said Pam Sorensen.
Pam and her sister, Patty, both grew up to love vintage items. Pam sells antiques on eBay and also keeps a booth at the Antique World Mall. She loaned several of her items from her collection to the city in 2013 as part of its Remnants of Boise exhibit at the sesquicentennial shop on Main Street, including milk bottles (complete with metal spoons for skimming cream from the top) and a tin from a local grocery for Natatorium coffee, named for Boises famous bathing palace of yore.
Collecting and arranging are Pam Sorensens art forms. I love to put things together, take them apart, she said.
Both Sorensens like that when it comes to their collection, none of this stuff should be here, said Dave. These werent prized items intended for posterity.
The Sorensens collection is only possible, they say, because a lot of people a long time ago were not inclined to throw things out.

HPD checkpoint leads to arrests
Hays Police Department officers conducted a sobriety checkpoint Friday in the 2800 block of Vine Street. The check lane was held between 11:45 p.m. and 2:45 a.m.
The purpose of the checkpoint was to improve community safety by identifying impaired drivers and removing them from the roadway. Ninety-seven motorists were contacted during the event -- 11 motorists suspected of driving under the influence were given on-site sobriety tests. Three drivers were arrested on suspicion of driving while under the influence of alcohol. One driver was cited for transporting an open container of alcohol.
Efforts were made to minimize the interruption of traffic flow. The average length of time for drivers stopped in this checkpoint who had not been consuming alcohol was 17 seconds.
The event was conducted in accordance with the Kansas Department of Transportation Impaired Driving Deterrence Program.
