About Lolita Lempicka
History and background of Lolita Lempicka. Fashion houses are often named after their founding designer, but Josiane Pividal went about it differently. In 1983 Josiane and her husband Joseph, an interior designer, created their label, "Lolita Lempicka", in homage to Nabokov's novel and to the painter Tamara de Lempicka. As the fashion house took off, the couple found it simpler to change their names to Lolita and Joseph-Marie Lempicka. Read more about Lolita Lempicka

I first received this as a sample from a big name chain beauty store after an online makeup purchase. I was hooked the first time I spritzed it on; I couldn't stop smelling myself! I would wear it to bed so the scent could carry me off to sleep. Within a week of receiving the sample, I searched for it on fragrancex and bought the 2.7 oz bottle. I love the bottle design, it's an attractive piece on my vanity table. =)
A very complex scent at first, with many different notes; dries down to a sexy, feminine woodsy-sweet smell that isn't sickeningly sweet.
It smells best when first applied, the dry down is subtle; so it doesn't hold too well. But even when it's been hours since I applied, I still get compliments from both men & women .
I don't wear this to work as it's a little too strong for the Veterinarian that I work with (she gets headaches ...very sensitive; but she gets headaches even from super-light body splashes). I tend to wear it mostly during nights out on the town now.
I don't think I'll be wearing it too much this summer, as I predict with the heat & humidity the scent might get too sweet & be overpowering. The initial scent isn't "light" enough for summertime, for me at least. But it'll remain in my fall/winter selection for sure!
I have so many perfumes in my collection but I reach for this one often. I love it, it's so unique!
The chain that I got the original sample from sells it with a hefty price tag; I'll always buy my perfume from fragrancex! It's always the real deal, no imitations; but at extraordinary prices! For a gal like me who likes to have many perfumes in her arsenal (You can call me a perfume addict), fragrancex is heaven-sent! Will definitely always keep a bottle of this on my vanity table, I'll buy it again and again! (Note: I bought the 2.7 oz bottle - a little goes a long way, so it's a great investment. I've had my bottle since March & still have 90%+ left despite MANY many uses!)

Comments about L De Lolita Lempicka Perfume:
Kind of dreamy, warm soft perfume ... fairytale like. definitely different from other perfumes out there... My initial impression of the scent was warm spicy/sweet. It goes soft on my skin like some kind of warm gentle saten and it makes me more peaceful and relaxed.

Comments about L De Lolita Lempicka Perfume:
I use this product every single day.. I have so many perfumes such as Light Blue, Viva La Juicy,
Flowerbomb, Love Fury, Unconditional Love, and the list goes on and on, and I keep picking up L de Lolita Lempika. If I could bathe in it I would. It's fresh and sexy and has a beautiful scent.. I could smell it on me all day and I actually bring it with me to work so I can. I've tried everything under the sun since I'm a perfume addict but lets just say, this is more than an addiction.. I must smell it on me and when I do, I'm totally uplifted. It doesn't smell like some old fashioned strong perfume.. It's just fresh and hard to describe. It's not too sweet or heavy but it's something very special. I tried the original but I like this better than all of them. Get it, and try it for yourself. It's beautiful and so is the bottle.

The stunning vistas of Montana and Wyoming
Photos: The big sky over Montana and Wyoming
Inside the van, I was getting a crash course in all things Namibian from my fellow travelers, who all called that country home. As I listened to them describe everything from their system of tourism conservancies to the prescribed method by which a cheating boyfriend apologizes to the girlfriend's family — delivered in accented English and their click-punctuated language — my mind kept telling me I was actually in Namibia.
My eyes, however, registered a different reality. Outside the van, we were surrounded by seriously stunning America. On this day, we were climbing the curvaceous Beartooth Highway, "the most beautiful drive in America," a 64-mile stretch of determined engineering through the mountains of Montana and Wyoming, heading toward Yellowstone National Park.
Switchback after switchback provided new, wait-stop-the-car! vistas: a drop-off to a river-scarred valley; jagged waves of mountain peaks rippling into a blue-black infinity; rockscapes of soft red lichen; and stands of spikey pines poking into a flawless blue sky – big sky, this being Montana.
By day three of the trip, I was firmly entrenched in two places at once. And boy was my brain tired.
I had come to Montana to cover a unique program – a "no borders" tour organized by Dan Austin of Austin-Lehman Adventures, bringing Namibian tourism/ecotourism leaders to America for an exchange of ideas. Austin got the idea while visiting Namibia, where he was impressed by the well-run, community-based conservation/tourism system that has spread throughout the wildlife-rich country.
The conflict between landowners and big cats in Namibia was very similar to the ongoing rancher-wolf controversy here. So Austin and the World Wildlife Fund hosted a group of 14 visitors, taking them on an itinerary that included Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks and visits with Crow tribe members, local leaders and landowners.
The program itself was jammed with interesting ideas and philosophies and enlightenments. There was so much I wanted to know from the Nam Fam, as they came to be called.
But then there was … well, there was all this America. I had known we would visit Yellowstone etc., and was looking forward to it. Since I'd visited some of the places previously, I figured the setting would just be a nice background for the meetings of the minds.
I'd forgotten that this kind of scenery refuses to be relegated to background. It radiates star quality, and is always ready for its close-up – or, more fitting, wide angle.
"I had no idea America was like this," one of our Namibian visitors said. The van had been silent for a few minutes, as we drove past a long stretch of grassland dotted with ponderous, prehistoric-looking bison.
It's easy, I think, to forget how vast and varied and one-of-a-kind America is. Living in cities and suburbias, roaming through shopping malls and start-stopping in traffic, we are used to peoplescapes and fences and all things manmade. It's easy to forget the effect that nature in all its vastness and simplicity can have on a person.
It took no time to remember. Even the Namibians, who live much closer to the land than we do, were moved. All of us in that van were endlessly amazed, inspired, in awe of the surprises great and small – from massive bison to stealthy skunks; unprettified ex-mining towns and the Crow nation's thriving society, keeping tradition alive in the modern world.
Good to remember such places still exist. See for yourself.

If you have a ripped pool screen cage or park a boat or trailer on the side of your house, the town of Longboat Key is going to eventually force you to fix your screen and park your boats and trailers elsewhere.
At its Monday regular workshop, the Longboat Key Town Commission agreed with staff's recommendation to strengthen a property maintenance code that right now can only tell property owners to cut weeds and grass.
A rundown Whitney Beach and Plaza and a deteriorating Colony Beach & Tennis Resort have sparked the change to hold some property owners to a higher standard.
Also at its regular workshop, commissioners:
• An update on the National Flood Insurance Program, which the town currently participates in.
• A change in a town ordinance to allow for the switch to regular workshops on Mondays.
• Proposed building height regulations.
For more information, pick up a copy of Thursday's Nov. 15 Longboat Observer.

- The new homes on LKB are springing up everywhere. Three new homes are under construction in the village alone. There are probably four or five going up on GMD and at least two in Bay Isles. People are investing in our community. That is good. The commission needs to do more to boost the residential real estate market. Getting rid of property blight is essential along with reasonable changes to property maintenance and appearance. Parking boat trailers behind homes is probably a good thing for surrounding home values. But something really must be done about Whitney Plaza. How many times, and for how many years, must we hear "check's in the mail" before we enforce state statutes on blighted commercial property?
I have been preaching, for the past four years, the need for our community to market our town thome-buyersrs nationally aninternationallyly. We need to make ourselves be seen above the real estate sales clutter. This is best done by the town government and a qualified marketing expert with a great track record.

Q: What was the top creation/evolution news of 2009?A: As we stand at the close of one year and the beginning of another, it is clear that although the years may pass, the battle for truth does not. The ideas of Millions of years and evolution continue to pervade and dominate the media. More than ever, there is a need for the Church to properly interpret the world around us, by returning to the authority of Scripture as our guide. For the fourth time, we're closing the year with a look back at some of the top news stories (see 2008, 2007, and 2006). Like last year, we're looking at some of the "recurring themes that made significant headlines in the debate over origins." This year the debate touched on our astral origins, the "Year of Darwin", the human kind, and the ongoing war of worldviews. What made the headlines in 2009, and how should biblically-minded Christians respond? Read our answers in News to Note: 2009 in Review! Impact Doubled!Thanks to your faithful support, we have met our recent gift-matching goal of $450,000 by Christmas. But we still need your help. In 2010, our vision is to make an impact like never before on our culture, to restore the foundations. You'll learn much more about the exciting campaign we have planned in the days ahead, but it may be the boldest declaration of the dependability of God's Word we've ever made. To help make this a reality, our end-of-the-year goal is to raise a total of $750,000. We're well over halfway there, and your support could be the difference. Consider a one-time or monthly gift today. And may the Lord bless you in this new year. Prayer RequestsView the current prayer requests to keep track of and pray for current ministry needs.

Amit Peled/Eli Kalman
The Jewish Soul (Centaur)
Peled, a cellist who teaches at Peabody, and Kalman, his frequent collaborator on piano, perform a program of spirited compositions by a handful of Jewish composers. Peled chose this material wisely, with an eye for quality and an ear for the meditative melodies that thread these selections together into a cohesive whole. It gently ebbs and flows from the festive to the elegiac, the highlight being the three movements of Ernest Bloch's "From Jewish Life," as Peled wrings intensity from the piece and Kalman punctuates it with understated elegance. Peled has said he envisions this CD as the first in a series, so let's hope there's more to come.
Wye Oak
The Knot (Merge)
After listening to these 10 songs, I don't think The Knot alludes to simply tying things together. Considering the band's name—a reference to our once-majestic state tree—I'd figure the title speaks of variations, even imperfections, that go against the grain. As more and more indie rock veers towards noisy clatter and feedback, this Baltimore duo, to their credit, emerges from the squall with a more exacting sound that touches on Americana and a peculiar, stately strain of blues. Multi-instrumentalist Andy Stack gets maximum effect from a pedal steel guitar (not your typical indie rock axe) on "For Prayer" and uses it to flavor a few other tunes, including the shambling, shimmering "Talking About Money." Strings infuse "I Want for Nothing" and "Sight, Flight" with a tender ache that's buoyed by Stack's nimble arranging, which frees up more space for Jenn Wasner's vocals. Throughout the disc, Wasner's singing benefits from the varied textures, as she shades lyrics with dusky hues that would likely get lost in a stormier setting.
Charm City Devils
Let's Rock-n-Roll (Eleven Seven)
Let's rock and roll, indeed. Baltimore's CCD gets all AC/DC on its debut disc for Eleven Seven, the label run by Mötley Crüe guitarist Nikki Sixx. It takes real moxie to begin a song with "Can I get a hell yeah?" but when CCD layers a martial drumbeat and careening guitar riffs underneath, it's 1980 all over again, all highways lead to Hades, and it's easy to imagine an arena full of fist-pumping fans answering the call to "True Love (Hell Yeah)." That is, until the group channels 1986-era Bon Jovi on "Almost Home," a quickie power ballad with a sentimental streak and "keep shining on" chorus. Such songs should go over well this summer, when CCD crisscrosses the country as part of Crüe Fest.

Long ago and far away, the Chinese decided that different years would coincide with different animals and that would mean something to us. The twelve-year cycle of the Chinese lunar calendar is based on a five thousand year old tradition of Chinese astrology, a tradition far less decimated by pesky things like witch hunts and inquisitions.
So what does 2013 mean to you? (Because, yes, it is all about you.)
If you were born in the Year of the Snake—say 1977, like Liv Tyler and Kanye West—you are wise and enigmatic. (How mysterious of you.) You're a thinker who likes unusual ideas and keen repartee. You're an astute and intuitive judge who understands how to lasso your desires and pull them to you. You're self-confident and energetic and act with conviction. You believe in yourself and what you do.
But even if you weren't born under the snake star, you can still use the beginning of the new nine year cycle to your advantage. Something about flying stars is going down and—while we don't know exactly what that means —we do know that it offers some serious juju. If you're willing to harness it, you can make great things happen in your life this year.
Friendships are more important than ever. Create and nurture friendships. For both the joy of having a social life, but also to bring on the good fortune. Be social, renew old friendships, and make fresh connections. Happiness, prosperity, and career boons will abound.
It's a good year for romance. Love mojo is in the offing. Clear out old relationships (and bootie calls) that bring you down. Toss the little black book and start fresh. Healthier patterns could result in finding your perfect person.
Your career (and your bank account) is about to boom. The Year of the Water Snake brings on good business and career opportunities. You know you want a piece of that, so look at places you can improve and start making it happen. The power of the universe is behind you, sister.
Clear the crap. Now is a good time to banish the clutter and deconstruct the drama. Clearing the old to make way for the new is a good idea no matter what animal is up this year. But it's especially helpful now because any space you clear will create room for exactly what you want to appear.

2B. Agenda Changes
2B1. Several additions were announced.
2C. Meal Arrangements
Wayne announced that there were no special lunch arrangements.
3A. Midyear Executive Board Minutes
The July 31-August 1, 1998, minutes from the Mid-Year Board Meeting held in Tucson, Arizona, will be approved via email post-conference.
4A. Management Calendar [Wayne]
Wayne requested that Secretary Blank post monthly sections of the management calendar on the Society's administrative listserves, e.g., Committee, Conference, Group, Board.
Action: Blank to post Management Calendar in monthly increments (monthly).
4B. E-Mail Discussion/C-19 [Wayne]
Wayne discussed with the Board how they would like to manage e-mail discussion throughout the upcoming year. Issues of quantity, quality, ability of archiving, meaning of silence, and time zone differences were included. Consensus was reached to keep Board e-mail discussion to substantial issues and use a constant header when referring to the same subject. Board members should post "away days" so we all know who will be away from e-mail for any length of time. Wayne reviewed Policy C-19 for conducting Board business through e-mail.
Action: Prather to send Secretary's address labels to all Board members for returning email motion forms via the mail (May 30).

Wayne requested that all Board members photocopy Division, Section, Round Table reports and send to Karen McKenzie, Board Liaison, with originals going to Wayne.

4E. Directors and Officer's Liability Insurance [Prather]
Topic not discussed.
5. CONFERENCE ISSUES (March 31,1999)
5A. Conference Wrap-Up
Cheryl Siegel and Carole Goldsmith, Vancouver Conference co-chairs joined the meeting. The Welcome Party was successful, with over 150 attending this event. The Convocation was felt to be the perfect length and well done; having professional slide technicians worked well. On the down side, Siegel felt there were too many meetings to be covered. The Informal Meeting room worked well. Three Plenary Sessions, while ambitious, proved to be successful and were well-received and some tickets were sold to the public. One tour had to be canceled, and the method of signing up for tours was felt to be confusing--there was some uncertainty as to attendees had paid or not paid for tours. Budget constraints and issues of honoraria and a/v requirements should be more clearly detailed in the future. Exhibitors were pleased overall, but many felt that more non-conflicting time should be made available so that the members would visit the exhibit hall. Some exhibitors expressed an interest in hosting a party that would also draw more members into the exhibits. Exhibitors would like the registration desk to be closer to the exhibit hall if possible. Exhibitors liked having food available. Fundraising began too late, although was in line with the Conference Planning Task List. Registration went smoothly but ARLIS/NA needs to come to grips with foreign exchange. There were gaps in communication with headquarters particularly with the last minute change in conference planners. Prather agreed that at times it was hard to know who had final authority for handling details and that the communications from both sides could have been more effective. The A/V coordination was difficult to handle from North Carolina, and a local member had to step in to coordinate with the Hotel.
Action: Siegel to give list of people to whom Wayne will send "thank you" letters (May 30).
Action: All Board to write formal thank you letters to each of the four co-chairs by April 9th. Wayne to write thank you letters to those on the list provided by Siegel as soon as possible. Wayne to write thank you letters to all donors.

Action: Corbetta-Noyes to motion LA Co-Chair approval (July 1).
5C. 2002 St. Louis Site Approval [Wayne/Graham]
On behalf of the Central Plains Chapter, Suzy Frechette extended an invitation to the membership to host the ARLIS/NA Annual Conference in St. Louis in 2002. Wayne will announce this invitation on ARLIS-L for membership-wide discussion.
Action: Wayne to post invitation from Central Plains Chapter on ARLIS-L with a call for comments (July 1).
5D. 2001 IFLA Satellite Conference, Boston [Graham]

5E. Vancouver Conference [Wayne]
Wayne reiterated that Board members should follow-up with writing thank you letters as soon as possible.
6. FINANCIAL ISSUES [Chibnik]
6A. Finance Committee
6A1. Guidelines for Contact with Financial Advisor.
Chibnik will email to Board the guideline recommendations from the Finance Committee regarding contact with Financial Advisor.
Action: Chibnik will make email motion regarding accepting the recommendations of the Finance Committee once current email motion is finalized (June 20).
6B. Honoraria
Chibnik led a discussion regarding honoraria for ARLIS/NA members with Special Appointments: what constitutes reasonable honoraria; should we continue to fund monetarily or change to an in-kind honoraria that might include complimentary membership, conference registration, combination of both, etc. A possible avenue to explore would be for the Development Committee find a donor to help support honoraria, which totals approximately $8,000 currently and represents about 2.5% of the Society's budget. Discussion continued on the appointment of a new Occasional Papers editor, and whether this position should be funded with a traditional honorarium. The Board agreed in principle that the OP editor should receive honorarium, and discussed whether payment should be tied to publication output or be paid as a yearly amount. The Board decided to pay the OP editor a pro-rated honorarium for the first year. The AWS Advisory Board will be making a recommendation regarding an honorarium for the AWS content editor now that ADI is taking over AWS management. The overall issue of honoraria will be revisited again at the Mid-Year Meeting. MID-YEAR AGENDA ITEM.
Action: Chibnik to post current recipients and amounts of honoraria to the Board for background information (June 15).
Motion #10: Unanimously approved honorarium for the acting Web Site Manager, Lee Sorensen, for the maintenance of the AWS for the period of January - June 1999.
Motion #11: Unanimously approved honorarium for the Art Documentation editors, Betsy Peck, Stephanie Sigala, and copy editor, Eileen Markson for the publication of Vol. 18, no.1 of Art Documentation for the period January - June 1999.
Motion #12: Unanimously moved to commend the excellent work of the Art Documentation. Editors, specifically for the most recent issue.
Motion #13: Unanimously approved honorarium for the ARLIS-L moderator, Mary Molinaro, for her coordination of the listserv for January - June 1999.
Motion #14: Unanimously approved honorarium for the ARLIS/NA Update editor, Linda Zieper, for her work on the February, April, and June issues for the period January - June 1999.
7. MEMBERSHIP ISSUE [Blank]
7A. Paraprofessional Introductory Category
Blank reported that the Membership Committee is recommending the creation of a "paraprofessional" membership category, that the Society make increased efforts to include conference programming of value to paraprofessionals, and also create a specific Round Table for paraprofessionals. The Board discussed the issue and felt we should continue to recruit paraprofessionals for membership in the Society and support them whenever possible. There are many paraprofessional already participating in the Society. It was agreed that this is a recruitment issue. The chapter level may also be an appropriate place to address this question. It was agreed that the Society should continue to maintain the Basic level, based on income, for both professional and para-professional members, rather than add a separate category specifically for para-professionals.
Action: Blank will communicate Board decision to Katy Poole, Membership Chair (May 30).
8. PUBLICATION ISSUE [Chibnik]
8A. ARLIS/NA Update
Chibnik led a discussion on whether ARLIS/NA Update should become an electronic newsletter accessible via the AWS and suspend the paper edition. The question of whether there are members who do not have Internet access came up. Prather reported that approximately 200 checked the box on membership forms indicating that they would prefer to receive Update online. It was mentioned that there are "library" subscriptions that would have to continue to be supplied in print format. Chibnik reported the current cost of Update at $13,000 annually ($10,000 production, $3,000 mailing). A significant cost savings would occur if we go electronic. It was mentioned that this should be a passworded site and that the new management firm has that capability. It was agreed that, for now, we will continue to publish in print format. The issue will be discussed again at the Mid-Year Board Meeting. MID-YEAR AGENDA ITEM.
9A. Divisions, Sections and Round Tables
9A1. Indigenous Art and Culture Round Table [Berger]
Plans for 1999/2000 include looking for a new moderator as Meg Cunningham will need to step down. The Round Table is looking ahead to the Los Angeles conference. They would like Headquarters to send a list of all members that have expressed interest in this group to the Chair, prior to the Handbook being published.
Action: Prather to supply information from membership forms regarding interest in this Round Table to Chair of IAC (July 15).
Action: McKenzie to recruit for new moderator (July 15).
9A2. Women and Art Round Table [Berger]
The Round Table wanted to know which libraries had exhibition space within their libraries. It was determined that this question had already been discussed on ARLIS-L.
9A3. Film and Video Round Table [Lynagh]
Due to minimal participation the continuation of this Round Table is in question. Three members attended their scheduled meeting at the Vancouver conference, one member two years ago. Alison Pinsler, moderator for last two years, wants to continue as such, however she has been unable to regularly attend the conference. Karen McKenzie should explore with the moderator whether the group should continue or be dissolved with its members possibly being incorporated into the Visual Resources Division or New Art Round Table.
Action: Prather to supply information from membership forms regarding interest in Film & Video to McKenzie (May 30).
Action: McKenzie to follow up with Pinsler as to her continuing role with Film & Video (June 20).

Sonja Staum-Kuniej, Moderator, has begun a list of libraries involved in moving, new construction, etc., along with architects and consultants. She will gather additional information for this list through ARLIS-L.
Action: McKenzie to discuss with AWSAB the possibility of a space on AWS for listing of libraries undergoing new construction or renovation and members who
are willing to serve as consultants (July 15).
9A5. New Art Round Table [Adrean]
Discussion focused on the definition of web-based artists books; how artists can utilize the structure of the web for artistic endeavors; how to archive these materials; how to provide bibliographic access to resources for which libraries neither own or pay for access.
9A6. Serials Round Table [Corbetta-Noyes]
One focus of the group's discussion was the lack of publicity for the John Benjamins Award. They would like to know if the Board would approve shortening the one-year ARLIS/NA membership requirement as most library school students would not have enough time to join and submit papers in the same academic year. Blank, liaison to the Research Committee, responded that the Research awards' eligibility criteria were designed to reward existing members of the Society and to encourage non-members to join in order to be eligible for the various Research awards. The Muehsam Award is specifically designed for student papers.
Action: McKenzie to engage Stephanie Moye, Serials moderator, and Jeff Weidman, Research Committee Chair, in discussion of publicity issues (June 20).
9A7. Cataloging Section [Kempe]
In response to a request for ideas from a member of the Statistics Task Force, the Section suggested that the duty of reporting numbers of attendees be assigned to recorders of all ARLIS/NA conference meetings and sessions and that attendance statistics be compiled as part of the overall post-conference report.
Action: McKenzie to develop form to circulate at DSRT meetings. Information will be shared by the Board and the Chair/Moderator of that DSRT (July 30).
9A8. Visual Resources Division [Kempe]
The VRD endorses the possible joint meeting with VRA in St. Louis in 2002. It was agreed that a letter to the Getty indicating concern about the future of the vocabularies projects should be drafted by Leigh Gates, Moderator of VRD, to be signed by Wayne on behalf of ARLIS/NA. Board review will continue online when a draft is provided.
9A9. Museum Division [Graham]
The Museum Division recommended returning to a conference scheduling template that was devised by Debbie Barlow in the past.
Action: Wayne to contact Barlow for copy of template (June 1). CPAC ITEM: Schedule Division meeting for Friday or Saturday of conference.
9A10. Architecture Section [Chibnik]
Mary Graham discussed the proposal to hold a special architecture-related plenary session at each conference, possibly funded by Phyllis Lambert. Rosemary Haddad has been working with Graham on formulating a possible task force or small committee that would work on this for, ideally, a three-year period to provide continuity. Chibnik reported that the Architecture Section had concerns and there were some individuals interested in working on content planning (Chair, Janine Henri) but there was not an overwhelming response. The Architecture Section expressed concerned as to their role and commitment to annual planning of session. Betsy Lantz of Development Committee is working with Architecture Section. There is a desire to find other donors who will "match" or help with the needed funding. Graham will send the Board her prior correspondence with Lambert, and begin drafting a letter that will "introduce" Wayne as the new president, as her new primary contact.
Action: Graham to post letters that will fill in background from previous Board discussions. Discussion will follow (May 30).
9A11. Academic Library Division [Corbetta-Noyes]
Corbetta-Noyes brought the question as to whether ARLIS maintains a LOEX affiliation (LOEX Clearinghouse for Library Instruction, Eastern Michigan University). Graham clarified that ARLIS/NA pays a subscription fee to participate in this group, and an affiliation would not be appropriate.
Action: McKenzie will notify Tom Reidel, moderator (May 30).
9A12. Public Library Division [Chibnik]
CPAC ITEM: Need an earlier meeting time slot at conference. The Committee liked the time slot they had in 1997.
9B. Committees
9B1. Awards Committee [Graham]
Graham distributed the final Awards Task Force report to the Awards Committee for comment and is waiting for feedback.
Chair Lyn Korenic would like the Board to consider the funding or partial funding of the DSA recipient's hotel at the conference as a part of the Distinguished Service Award. Currently, the Society provides airfare only. The Board thought this was a reasonable request, but suggested that funding be limited to two nights at the conference hotel. Graham mentioned that Korenic had provided her with new guidelines prepared by Mary Williamson, entitled, "Draft Guidelines for ARLIS/NA Distinguished Service Award Nominators" for Board approval.
Motion #15. Graham moved that ARLIS/NA incorporate the draft guidelines developed by Mary Williamson for the Distinguished Service Award into the Policy Manual C-36. Chibnik seconded.
[Motion #15 tabled when it was determined that the full Board had not received copies of the draft guidelines. Graham to fax.]
9B2. Technology Committee [Corbetta-Noyes]
Paula Hardin has formed the new Technology Committee (merger of Technology Relations and Technology Education) and solicited new ideas about goals for the upcoming year.

Action: Corbetta-Noyes to ensure that Hardin makes contact with new Headquarters website manager regarding Committee website (Aug. 1).
Action: Headquarters to advise Executive Board if all information gathered via the membership and renewal forms is accessible and in what output formats.

Action: Wayne to send International Affiliate publications to Daphne Dufresne, chair, after reviewing (Starting July 1 and continuing thereafter).
9B5. George Wittenborn Awards Committee [Berger]
Berger reported that the Chair would like to do a press release of the winners at the conference. This could be coordinated by the Executive Director (a member of CPAC) and coordinated with the local arrangements chair. The photographs taken at the Convocation have not been distributed in a timely manner in the past. Headquarters needs to find a way for the photographer to get prints to the Chair as soon as possible for distribution.
After much discussion, it was decided that a fourth award be established for multi-media format. The guidelines and criteria that have been developed will be placed on the AWS and sent out to the publishers along with the rest of the mailing. Up to 1,000 Wittenborn seals maximum will be given free to the winners, as per their need. Anything over 1,000 will have to be paid for by the publisher. Headquarters will keep a record of them.
CPAC ITEM: Committee wants a timely press release announcing the award winners, preferably the day of award.
CPAC ITEM: Committee wants convocation photographs made available and distributed at conference. Wittenborn Chair should distribute.
Action: Wittenborn Committee and Berger to create a 4th award (Aug. 1).
Action: Berger to update guidelines for the Multi-media award on AWS (June 30).
Action: Headquarters will ask publishers how many Wittenborn seals they need (When Wittenborn Commitee advises Headquarters of Award recipients).
9B6. North American Relations [Lynagh]
Committee members were uncertain as to what constitutes an "official" affiliate organization, why there are official vs. unofficial affiliations, and how liaisons are appointed. Some liaisons are appointed by the President.
Action: Lynagh will ask Anita Carrico, Chair, specifically what action the committee would like the Board to consider and add to Mid-Year agenda (June 15). MID-
There is an interest in having representatives from ARLIS/NA at affiliate organizations' conferences. There was also discussion about having affiliate organizations represented at ARLIS/NA annual conferences.
Action: Blank will ask Carrico and Katy Poole, Membership Chair, to discuss possibilities for ARLIS/NA representation at affiliate conferences (June 15).
It was mentioned that there needs to be a new ARLIS/NA brochure for use in recruitment and distribution to affiliate societies.
Action: Headquarters to examine membership brochure used for recruitment to see if changes need to be made (June 30).
9B7. Cataloging Advisory Committee [Kempe]
The Committee requested travel support for MARBI and CCDA liaisons attending ALA conferences. Although the Board sees the importance of attendance at these conferences the Society is not currently in a position to grant funding since there are other situations within ARLIS/NA that parallel CAC's. The Board will revisit the larger issue of support for official ARLIS/NA liaisons at the Mid-Year Board meeting. MID-YEAR AGENDA ITEM.
9B8. Travel Awards Committee [Kempe]
Ted Goodman, Committee Chair, requested Board advice on supplementing current awards so that all awards approach a similar level of funding. The Board agreed that the Chair may contact any current Travel Award donor to request an increase in the award. The Chair expressed interest in securing additional travel awards; the Board agrees that he is free to do so, in coordination with Betsy Lantz, Development Chair.
Action: Kempe will convey to Goodman, Chair of Travel Awards Committee, the Board's decision that the Committee may seek additional funding for any awards

McKenzie reported that she had already provided suggestions directly to the Chair.
9B12. Membership Committee [Blank]
Blank brought up the issue of whether Overseas category members can vote. The Board reminded him that the recent Bylaws change allows for overseas members to become Individual Members, and thus can vote. If they remain in the overseas category they cannot vote.
Action: Prather to provide Committee with list of members who did not renew sorted by area code (June 30).
Clarify renewal and application forms. Renewal form has member's existing information already on it. Application form is blank. But both are posted on the web.

Action: Prather to supply Committee with non-renewal list (June 30).
9B13. Development Committee [Chibnik]
Committee wants to send letter to solicit funds, specifically for the 25th Anniversary fund, which is the fund used for the Internship Award. Board decided that it would be better to wait until internship is a reality and then to ask for funds directly related to that project or to begin a new capital campaign
Action: Chibnik to convey Board's decision to Betsy Lantz, Chair, and ask that the Committee revisit discussion on time frame for starting a new capital campaign
(June 1).
Committee would like for fundraising opportunities to be foregrounded on AWS.
Action: Chibnik to facilitate discussion between AWS Manager and Development Committee (June 30).
9B14. Visual Resources Advisory Committee [Wayne]

Action: Blank & McRae to draft letter for Wayne to send to VRA President (Jenni Rhoda) confirming ARLIS interest in continuing with co-publication of Guidelines for the Visual Resources Profession Occasional Paper (June 30).
9C. Society Structure Meetings
Reports from Board members were previously posted to the Board listserv and no further
discussion was held during this conference call.
9C1. Society Structure [Berger, McKenzie]
Discussions examined the roles and effectiveness of the DSRTs, Committees, Chapters, Regions.
DSRT's: Are they currently serving the roles for which they were originally intended? The sole rationale of many DSRT's seems to be to generate conference programming. They do not generate a high volume of special funding requests and only meet at conferences because members can't devote more time to them during the year. Their subject focus seems to have become diffused and they have proliferated too broadly. Do they still add value to the conference? If reviews are necessary, how is it decided if a group is no longer viable? In the absence of process, it seems to be the group itself that decides its own future.
Committees: As with the DSRT's, discussion focused whether or not the Committees were meeting the roles for which they were designed, how could their effectiveness be evaluated and who would perform this evaluation. The Committees seem to be more effective when they are directed by the Board to engage is specific tasks, but otherwise may lose focus.
Chapters/Regions: Discussions continued to be centered on roles and effectiveness. Board Regional Representatives may need to have need to have their role more clearly defined or communicated to the Chapters. Should they actively engage in activities at the Chapter level, or serve as an avenue for communication between the Chapter and Board? Should the Society provide more services to the Chapters or help the Chapters develop greater autonomy for local programming such as developing distance learning or related projects for chapter-level members who can not travle to the Society annual conferences?
9C2. Dues [Chibnik]
No discussion relating to the topic of dues was raised by those in attendance at this session.
9C3. Grassroots [Wayne, Roger Lawson, Lee Sorensen]
Relevant discussion centered on the desire to see more interaction between affinity organizations at the Chapter and Regional level. This echoes concerns voiced at the Society Structure meeting regarding the relationship between the Chapters and the Society, and the role of the Regional Representatives at the Chapter level
9C4. VRA/ARLIS [Graham, Corbetta-Noyes]
The focus of the discussion was the relationship between ARLIS/NA and VRA. The VRA members were very happy to hear that a joint conference was suggested for 2002 in St. Louis. They urged that it be a true joint conference and not just two separate over-lapping conferences. There was a request that VRA members participate in the 2002 CPAC.
9C5. Strategic Plan [Adrean]
Adrean reported that no one attended the Strategic Planning session.
9C6. Conference [Wayne, Lynagh]
Those who attended this meeting confirmed that the annual conference is "alive and well," yet felt that the conference should be evaluated in terms of its purpose and length. Moving towards a virtual conference was not viewed positively. Exhibitors should be more closely integrated into the conference: attendees should have more scheduled opportunities to visit the exhibits area; pehaps the exhibitors could sponsor an opening party at the exhibits area; put the registration desk nearer to the exhibits area.
Outside speakers were seen as providing valuable content to the conference, and honoria need to be higher in order to attract quality participants. Perhaps a special fund can be created to assist in providing honoraria. The plenary sessions should receive more publicity and admission should be charged to non-conference attendees.
The profusion of DSRT's and the low attendance at some of the DSRT meetings suggests that the value of the individual DSRT's needs to be examined.
Core needs for the annual meeting are: 1) sessions; 2) exhibitors; and 3) networking at social gatherings.

9D1. Awards Task Force [Wayne]
Wayne reported that Graham would continue as liaison to this Task Force.

Working with Roger will be Lee Sorensen, and Kitty Chibnik. The goal will be to visit the storage facility in mid-June and sort, discard, and designate items to be shipped to the new Headquarters.
Motion #17. Unanimously moved to adjourn at 3:30 p.m. PDT.
Respectfully submitted,
Peter Blank, Secretary

Lol everyone's out to get apple
Lol Apple's out to get everyone.
It goes both ways.
About time apple gets what's coming to them. It's just getting stupid. And until someone grows up. It's going to get worse.
The first patent should be expired by now since caller ID came out 20 years ago. But this smells weird regardless.
I didn't look into this but it's not the "caller id" they worried about but more the geotagging data. That's why both mention location info. So caller id being out 20 years is irrelevant here.
So area code lookups are patented? It's not even true CallerID, hence the Unknown if they're not a contact. Plus the location lookup happens after the call in the recent call list not when the call is incoming.Decoding and processing system for advanced determination of display of geographic information to a called party.
It's all sent at same time not after the call. It's just listed there when you hang up. Mine shows location of number regardless of if they are a contact in my phone or not.
People are mad that apple is worth billions lol.... Don't hate on apple =p
Waiting for the tv series "Patent Wars" I am sure it will be a hit.
yet another example of Apple using other companies patents without permission and with no compensation but make a rectangle shaped tablet that's thinner and lighter than Apple's and you get sued for making a rectangle shaped device.
Here we go again!!! Same s**t different day.

New Panasonic DVD recorders sure to disappoint ATSC fans
One of our predictions for CES 2008 was that DVD recorders with ATSC tuners would get a couple of key features upgrades that take full advantage of the built-in digital tuner. Well, if Panasonic's new line of DVD recorders is any indication, we were wrong.
Despite some significant clamoring for a DVD recorder with a hard drive, the new Panasonic Diga line of DVD recorders includes only two standard DVD recorders, plus two DVD/VHS recorder combo units. There's also no mention of a few features we were hoping for: true HD output for ATSC programming, an EPG … Read more

Announcement: Interactive CDC DengueMap Available Online
CDC, in collaboration with HealthMap, has created a new online tool for displaying global dengue activity. The interactive DengueMap shows areas where CDC considers dengue to be endemic and sites of recent, location-specific reports of disease. Unlike the CDC map that is compiled every 2 years for the CDC Travelers' Health Yellow Book to characterize general dengue risk based on traditional public health data sources, HealthMap reports are updated hourly and include both professional sources, such as the World Health Organization and ProMED-mail, and informal sources such as local media reports. Combined, these data provide a more dynamic and immediate picture of where transmission of dengue viruses might occur and where disease is actually occurring. DengueMap is available at http://healthmap.org/dengue and http://www.cdc.gov/dengue. Additional information regarding HealthMap is available at http://healthmap.org.
