CLARCOR Reports Record First Quarter Diluted Earnings Per Share
Despite the increase in net sales, operating profit at our Industrial/Environmental Filtration segment declined 10%, or $1.0 million, primarily due to a 0.9 percentage point reduction in operating margin from the first quarter of 2012. Operating margin in this reporting segment was impacted by a higher mix of natural gas vessels as opposed to higher margin natural gas aftermarket elements and lower operational performance at TransWeb compared with last year's first quarter.
Packaging Segment
Net sales at our Packaging segment increased less than 1% from the first quarter of 2012. This increase was due to an increase in spice packaging sales to both branded and private label customers partially offset by lower sales of decorated flat sheet metal products due to timing of certain promotional programs and lower film packaging sales attributed to lower general demand for film products and also influenced by the Kodak bankruptcy. Operating profit increased $0.4 million from the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to a 2.3 percentage point improvement in operating margin driven by a 2.7 percentage point decline in selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales. Lower selling and administrative expenses were due in part to a $0.2 million bad debt expense recognized in the first quarter of 2012 related to the Kodak bankruptcy.
Income Taxes and Other IncomeThe 2.4 percentage point decrease in our effective tax rate to 30.4% in the first quarter of 2013 from 32.8% in last year's first quarter was primarily due to the extension of the research and experimentation tax credit for 2012 in January 2013. Other income in the first quarter of 2013 declined approximately $0.7 million from last year's first quarter, which included the receipt of a one-time $1.2 million dividend pursuant to our investment in BioProcess Algae LLC and a $0.5 million foreign currency loss which did not recur in the first quarter of 2013.

W3C goes after Apple on HTML5 patenting
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has put out a call for prior art request in hopes of invalidating patents Apple has applied for over the HTML5 standard. At issue are two patents Apple holds which describes how mobile apps can request sensitive material, according to ComputerWorld.
The W3C's issue with these patents is that, if Apple is allowed to hold them, HTML5 developers who use the technologies will need to pay royalties to Apple. The W3C says that those specific technologies are already part of the royalty-free HTML5 stack and thus encompasses web standards that can be used without paying royalties to any company.
As a member of the W3C, many feel Apple should provide a royalty free license for the patents in question -- something Apple has yet to do or even comment on. Until Apple does so, the W3C hopes to find examples of the technologies in Apple's patents that were in use before Apple patented them. Proof of pre-patent use would invalidate Apple's patents, thus allowing the technologies to be rolled into the HTML5 standard and be used royalty free.

Barrick Gold, Siemens Will Shine, Says Fund Manager
As investors focus on the European debt crisis, Paul Hechmer, portfolio manager for the del Rey Monarch Fund, is stepping up his investments in several defensive Japanese stocks as an alternative, holding stocks like Shiseido and Seven & I Holdings Co., owners of the 7-Eleven convenience store chain.
The $6 million fund, which was launched in June 2001, has lost 3% over the past month, better than 99% of its peers in Morningstar's foreign large-cap stock category.
"Any time you have a troubled market it's good to find companies with real strong balance sheets, real strong cash flows," Hechmer said. Aside from their impressive financials, Hechmer also likes the fact that both companies market to a mass audience with Shiseido being a luxury brand in the United States, but a household name in Japan.
And while he is overweight Japan as compared to Europe, Hechmer hasn't given up on the Eurozone entirely. For example, he sees a great deal of value in Germany industrial Siemens (SI), which he says has been oversold as a result of Europe's debt troubles and will benefit from a weaker Euro."Europe's way down and you can find some very good values over there. If you are worried about the currency then go buy a company that gets its currency outside of Europe," Hechmer said. For those still worried about a global currency crisis, Hechmer suggests buying Barrick Gold (ABX). And while some believe the price of gold is in bubble territory, Hechmer says the mining companies have lagged the yellow metal's rise and have room to grow.

Ultrasound not as good as we thought. *preg mentioned*

So the dr called today. She isn't happy with the way things look on the ultrasound.
She said that my amniotic fluid 'looks' low. And that the heartbeat (112 bpm) seems low.
I have done plenty of looking and searching and from everything I can find, 90-110 is very normal for 6-7 weeks. Why is she unhappy with that? Did I find wrong information?
I don't know anything about amniotic fluid levels and ultrasounds. Could anyone offer some insight? Can my body fix this? Can this be ok with my fluid a little low? Is this a VERY bad thing?
Please anyone?? I was so sure everything was ok now, but now I'm so worried and confused and upset.
Next ultrasound is next week. I hate waiting and worrying and not knowing.

1/2 cup almond butter, divided
Line a mini muffin tin with cupcake liners and poor enough chocolate into each liner to cover the bottom (1/2 – 1 tsp). Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator until it hardens (30-40 mins). Next add 1 tsp of almond butter into each muffin cup and smooth out the top. Cover the almond butter with the chocolate mixture (about 1 tsp) and allow the almond butter cup to harden.

"Anyway,it's starsan's PH level that does the job,not how clear it is."
That's what I thought when I first began using it, and for a long time afterwards. Recently (a month???) I saw the debate. It made me have to wonder as (IIRC) it was stated the company claimed that minerals depleted it's a ability to sanitize.
Make your life easy...
Step 1: Buy a cheap 5 gallon bucket and lid from ACE, Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, True Value, Crafty Beaver, etc... Costs about $5
Step 2: Buy 5 gallons of distilled water at Jewel, Dominick's, Kroger, Meijer, Walmart, etc... Costs about $2 a gallon
Step 3: Buy StarSan at LHBS
Step 4: Mix up a batch for every 5 gallon kegging/bottling day.
Step 5: Repeat and discard every time you keg/bottle.
It'll keep indefinitely in the lidded bucket, but just change it every time you bottle or keg and you'll always have a guaranteed good-to-go batch at the ready for any new brew sessions, racking, testing/sampling, or when you decide to cheat on sweet, sweet barley and make a mead or cider. I get about 5-6 uses between kegging sessions. I don't even mix up my batch in the bucket anymore. When I keg, I discard the old bucket, mix up 5 gallons in the keg, run it through my beer lines and refill the empty starsan bucket. Easy Peasy. Sure, it's colder than a new batch made with tap water after sitting around and settling at room temp, but it never goes bad and is always ready to go.
I think that debate may have been in this thread...
I mix a 5 gallon batch and discard every 6 months or so. I use tap water and it will be slightly cloudy right away...but after a few uses it gets more cloudy.
Guess we could get some ph strips and test...
Drank too much?...Is that a thing?
So this should make a great deal of sense. Your DI or RO water is going to run a pH of around 6-6.5. It will be less cloudy and last long because ions and minerals have been stripped from the water. The things interacting with the starsan to cause it to be cloudy in the tap water,that and DOCs and TSSs. Unfiltered tap water will have all those things in it and give it some buffering capacity. This will vary greatly depending on where you are and the water thats coming from your tap.
So to say "mine lasts me this lone using tap water" may be true but doesn't mean my source water will last as long. If there is a greater buffering capacity in my source water it may only take a couple brew days for the pH to rise since it is picking up some things while being used.
I do have access to a huge water system but it's just easier spending the .52 and using tap. I used DI from the store for my spray bottle and keep the extra in the jug in my keezer. I have had one gallon jug last 8 month with no issues. I checked the pH on the last bit and it was fine.
As long as what you are doing works for you who cares.

December 21, 2014
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ Soaring aviation fuel costs are grounding many pilots from recreational flying, creating an economic drag on the nation's general aviation industry.
The Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association says a survey of its members found that 72 percent of them reported they flew less in
the past year. About 61 percent of them blame rising fuel prices
for their decrease in flying.
An aircraft mechanic at Hawker Beechcraft in Wichita says he's flown his vintage 1946 Taylorcraft only 15 hours this year, far below 50 hours he normally would have flown it by this late in the year.
The average cost of aviation gas nationwide increased 24 percent in the past year, from $4.62 a gallon in July 2007 to $5.72 a gallon today.
Makers of small planes are feeling the pinch. Shipments of piston-powered aircraft plummeted by 28 percent in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period last year. That compares to shipments of business jets which shot up nearly 41 percent.

Buffalo City School District will deploy an online enrollment system in place of its entirely paper-based enrollment process to save time and money.
The New York district's school board has given the green light for a five-year contract for the Registration Gateway web application, developed by SRC Solutions, effective beginning in 2013.
Registration Gateway allows parents to sign up or re-enroll their children in the school district almost entirely online with a Web wizard. They can fill out a web-based application, from anywhere with Internet access, and attach additional documents after scanning them.
Additional features include:
In addition, all files can be accessed from any school computer with online access, and administrators can set up individual access privileges.
Approximately 37,000 students attend Buffalo School District in 45 elementary schools, 12 high schools, and two adult education facilities.
In related news, SRC Solutions has released Human Resources Gateway, a web-based portal to help with the hiring process at school districts.
Human Resources Gateway provides digital storage and automatic archiving of all teacher and staff paperwork required for hiring.
Features of the software include:
In addition, Human Resource Gateway interfaces with ID production systems, and uses bar codes to track documents.

Issue 24
THE FOLLOWING is a description of the japanning or, as we would call it now, stove-enameling process applied to , and tells how the black finish and decorations were obtained.
The story is taken from an American sewing-machine trade journal, The Sewing Machine Advance, of May 1880.
Very few of our readers have ever seen a japannery, or know anything about the process undergone by a machine in being japanned, and a brief description thereof will doubtless interest many of them. We are indebted for information concerning these matters to Mr. E S Hastings, an experienced japanner, who has recently engaged in the business in this city at No. 51 South Jefferson Street.
The plant or equipment of a japannery consists principally of the baking ovens, of which there must be at least two, the japan oven and the varnish oven, the sizes of which are regulated by the class of articles to be operated on and the quantity to be done at a time. A brick oven 8 x 10 feet and 7 feet high will take in about 500 sewing-machine frames at once.
Imagine a small, square, brick house with an iron door and without windows or aperture of any kind for the escape of heat, set in this a cast-iron furnace with a pipe leading through the solid wall for the smoke and gas to pass off through. Building a fire in the furnace of hard coal or coke, and keep it going at full blast until the furnace is red hot all over, then open the door and step in to see how they bake japan on cast-iron, that is if you can stay long enough to see anything. We tried it once but got out just in time to save being baked into roast greenhorn.
Hot! We think so! We have been in some warm places, but were not to be reckoned along with. it was a shot as ----, well, you know the place where all bad sewing-machine men will be japanned with sulphur when they die.
The ovens are fitted up with iron racks, on which the articles to be japanned are ranged tier upon tier, or are suspended from hooks ranged along upon iron rods placed across the ovens.
Japanning plain heads
The heads are japanned in separate parts, such as the frame, the balance wheel, the side of arm, the bobbin winder, etc, etc. They go first into the hands of a workman for the "ground work". He puts on a heavy coat of japan with a brush and they then go into the japan oven where they remain overnight in a heat of about 350 degrees.
The next morning they are taken out of the oven, and when cooled are rubbed down with lump pumice stone to remove all lumps and smooth the surface; another coat of japan is then put on and they go back into the oven for another night's baking. The next day still another coat of japan is put on and still another night's baking is undergone, after which they are rubbed to a fine surface with find ground pumice stone on rages.
The frames and such parts as require ornamenting and striping then go to the ornamenter, whose skill is greatly depended on to make a good-looking job. Taking fine camel's hair brushes he deftly and with remarkable rapidity lays on the designs and stripes with sizing of a peculiar composition which, after drying a couple of hours or so, acquires a certain "tack" or particular stage of gumminess and is then ready for the gold leaf.
This is at once carefully laid on and adheres firmly to the sizing, but not to the bare japan, and where the superfluous leaf is rubbed off the designs and striping are brought out in relief. If the designs be flowers or landscapes, or anything requiring shading, the shading is then put on in colors to suit the style of ornamentation required.
The heads then go into the varnish oven for three or four hours' baking in the heat of about 150 degrees, after which they are washed clean with cold water and rubbed well with clean soft chamois skin. A coating of fine, clear copal varnish is then brushed on and they go again to the varnish oven for a final baking of 12 hours in a heat of about 150 degrees. This process completes the plain heads, but half- pearled and full-pearled heads require additional processes.
Pearling heads
The pearl comes in thin pieces or scales, and the finer qualities are quite costly. The pieces are cut to any desired shape and when the first coat of japan is put on, the pieces of pearl are laid on the japan while it is in a soft state. The machines then pass through the same series of processes as do the plain heads, except the two additional coats of japan are put on and baked each time, thus requiring much additional time and expense on the pearled heads.
When the last coat of japan has been put on and baked, the japan then covers the pearl, but it is rubbed carefully off the pearl with lump pumice stone, bringing out the pearling and making a smooth and level surface. The machines then go to the ornamenter as before.
Burnished-gold heads
This is the finest process known in the trade. After four or five coats of japan have been applied in the ordinary way, it is then polished to a very fine surface with rotten stone and the bare hand. The ornamenter then flows the surface with a solution of water and isinglass -- or gelatin -- and after covering the surface with gold leaf, allows the solution to drain off. when dry he pencils the design on the gold leaf with asphaltum. The superfluous gold not covered with the asphaltum penciling is then washed off with water, which does not affect the asphaltum.
Then the asphaltum is washed off with turpentine, which does not affect the gold, leaving the design wrought out in bright gold. The machine is then varnished and finished in the usual manner.
Decalcomania ornamenting
Some machines are ornamented with transfers, by what is known as the decalcomania process. This is a much cheaper mode of ornamentating than by hand, and carries an inferior look to the experienced eye.
The printing process
This is another rapid and cheap mode of ornamenting, where the designs are generally cut in wood on metal, and a cast taken off in plaster. A composition of glue and molasses is then made and run into the cast, forming a stamp with which the designs are printed on the machines in place of being penciled on by hand.

Scripps Stations Happy With Decision to Drop 'Wheel' and 'Jeopardy'
Scripps Television is standing by its decision to drop syndicated ratings powerhouses "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy" from its stations, according to TVNewsCheck.
"There was no scenario where we thought we would immediately replace Wheel and Jeopardy's ratings," says Bob Sullivan, vice president of content at Scripps TV station group. "We have to rebuild the time periods. But we're almost to goal in terms of what we thought we'd be doing — about 88% to estimate and we're only six weeks into our first year."
Scripps cut the cord to the two syndicated game shows in seven markets this September and replaced them with two of their own shows, "Let's Ask America" and "The List." But the move may not work for other station groups since Scripps produces both shows. Read more

Feb. 15 (Bloomberg) -- The rand advanced for a second day this week against the dollar after retail sales in Africa's biggest economy beat analysts' estimates and as China's pledge to help resolve Europe's debt crisis boosted commodity prices.
South Africa's currency appreciated as much as 0.7 percent and traded 0.5 percent stronger at 7.6840 as of 2:40 p.m. in Johannesburg. It gained 0.4 percent to 10.1029 against the euro.
Retail sales rose at the fastest pace in eight months in December as interest rates at the lowest level in more than 30 years helped boost spending. Sales climbed 8.7 percent compared with a revised 7.2 percent a month earlier, Pretoria-based Statistics South Africa said on its website today. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 11 economists was 6.5 percent.
"Today's retail sales data is positive for the local currency from a gross domestic product differential perspective," Thabi Leoka, head of macroeconomic research for South Africa at Standard Bank, said in e-mailed comments.
China will participate in resolving Europe's debt crisis and is ready to be more involved in resolving the crisis through the EFSF and European Stability Mechanism, People's Bank of China Governor Zhou Xiaochuan said in Beijing today. The Standard & Poor's GSCI Index of raw materials surged to a six- month high.
Xiaochuan's "comments have boosted sentiment with Asian markets up strongly and commodity currencies also benefiting," Nomvuyo Guma, an analyst at Standard Bank Group Ltd. in Johannesburg, said in an e-mailed note today.
Copper for three-month delivery climbed as much as 1.2 percent. Zinc also rose. Commodities, including metals, account for 64 percent of South Africa's exports, according to government data.
South Africa's 6.75 percent bonds due 2021 advanced, driving the yield two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, lower to 7.81 percent.

How to find:
Carlson Library Periodicals"Periodical" is the general term for a publication that comes out in parts on a set schedule, such as newspapers, magazines, or journals. The library subscribes to thousands of periodicals, in both print and electronic formats.
Electronic Journals
The University of Toledo Library provides access to over 33,000 electronic journals. The quickest way to find them is our UT Libraries Online Journal List, which lists journals from OhioLINK, our own subscriptions, and full-text journals available in our many research databases.
Print Periodicals
The Library owns many periodicals in print format as well.
Most issues of print periodicals are shelved on the 3rd floor, in alphabetical order.
Older issues of some periodicals (particularly newspapers and weekly magazines) are kept in the Microform Collection. Ask for these at the Ciruclatoin Desk. Older volumes of many periodicals are stored offsite at the Northwest Ohio Regional Book Depository.
Regardless of location, all periodicals are shelved alphabetically by title. Exceptions to this are certain periodicals with the name of an organization in the title; for example, the Journal of the American Chemical Society is shelved as American Chemical Society, Journal and will be found under 'A'.
Additionally, it is helpful to remember that every word in the title is considered when alphabetizing (even 'for' and 'of') except for initial articles such as A, An, and The. Titles that begin with acronyms, like I.I.E.E. Transactions..., will be shelved at the beginning of the letter of each letter of the alphabet.
See the How do I Find Articles page for more information about locating articles in periodicals. To see if we have a specific periodical, use our UT Libraries Electronic Journal portal to locate electronic versions, if available, or look it up by title in the UT Library Catalog. To narrow the search results, limit your search to Material Type: Journal/Serial. To see all of the periodicals (current and discontinued) that we have in a particular broad subject area, search by Subject and append the word Periodicals to your search: for example, History Periodicals. Alternatively, you can perform a keyword search for a broad topic term and limit the Material Type to "Journal/Serial".

Democratic Gov. Joe Kernan ran unopposed in his party's primary, marking the first time he went before voters since he took over when former Gov. Frank O'Bannon died last year. He will seek a full term in November but he'll have to run against former White House budget director Mitch Daniels in the general election.
Daniels, who left the Bush administration to run, drew on support from President Bush to easily win Indiana's GOP nomination for governor. Daniels beat out conservative activist Eric Miller.
After support for Daniel became clear, Republican David McIntosh dropped out of the race. The three-term Congressman from eastern Indiana had won the party's nomination for governor in 2000 but lost to O'Bannon.
Before O'Bannon's death, Kernan said he would not run for governor. O'Bannon had been barred by term limits from seeking another term in office. But since taking office, Kernan decided he would run, saying he better understands the challenges Indiana faces and wants to play a role.
Indiana's 9th Congressional District will be a key race to watch in 2004. It will be a rematch pitting Democratic Rep. Baron Hill against Republican Mike Sodrel. Hill won 51-46 last time, but Bush carried the district, 56-42, four years ago. Hill voted against major Medicare legislation, one of few Democrats in potentially competitive districts to do so.
Democratic Senator Evan Bayh also faces re-election 2004, hoping to win a second-term in Congress.
In the 2002 House races, Democratic Representative Julia Carson survived a tight bid for re-election to a fourth term.

Soon after the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) launched its 2014 housing scheme on Monday, the website of the land agency crashed, unable to take the load of the large number of people trying to download the form online.
The agency, however, managed to sell 30,000 brochures on the first day � 22,000 forms were sold by banks empanelled by DDA and the remaining 8,000 at DDA headquarters.
�Soon after the launch, we received 5 lakh hits on our official website, following which it crashed. Efforts are on to restore the service,� a DDA official said.
The 2014 scheme, which has been touted as one of the biggest ever announced by the DDA and has 25,000 houses on offer, was launched at the DDA headquarters, Vikas Sadan. There, queues started forming as early as
8 am, one-and-a-half hours before the scheme was launched.
The huge turnout led to some confusion initially as only one counter was open for the sale of brochures. But, towards the evening, more counters opened up.
�The brochures reached branches of banks some time after the launch,�� the official said.
The sale of brochures will continue till October 9, with the draw of lots likely to be held towards the end of October.
Bhupender Kumar from Uttar Pradesh, who has been working as a junior engineer with the Delhi Public Works Department for the last three years, said he would shift his family to Delhi if he was allotted a flat.
Meena Devi, meanwhile, said she wanted a flat for her son.
�My son is 21 years old and is studying in college. I want to give him a home and I am going to participate in the scheme to fulfill this dream,�� she said.
Dilip Kumar, a driver, said this was the fourth time he was trying his luck with DDA housing schemes.
�I had submitted forms during the last three schemes as well, but was not allotted a house,�� he said.
The 2014 scheme offers flats ranging from Rs 7 lakh to Rs 1.2 crore across categories � Economically Weaker Sections, Low Income Group, Mid Income Group, High Income Group and one-room apartments.
�We have asked engineers to ensure that all flats are ready by March 2015,�� DDA vice-chairman Balvinder Kumar said, adding that major rush was expected in the last 10 days of submission.
The scheme also includes 811 houses from the old stock. �Benefit of depreciation on construction cost

Instagram Full Photo Feature
Signing this petition indicates you are supportive of adding a feature to Instagram in which the photos still appear on profiles and news feeds as a square but when the image is tapped on once the full version of the image is revealed.
I think we can all say the square crop has become less of a quirky trademark of Instagram and more of a hassle as artists and photographers are building rapidly growing followings and need a more versatile platform to showcase their work. This would do nothing but widen the spectrum of appeal for Instagram and their already loyal users would be most appretiative.
this would change my life!
I would soooo appreciate it as an Instagram artist (:
Jackie Tiffany
I probably would start up photography on my acc. again if this happened! Love the idea!!!!

Word by word, tribes begin to find their voice
The life's work of an eccentric linguist yielded more than a million pages of notations on indigenous languages from North to South America. All that's needed is to decipher them.
The Associated Press
On the Net:
J.P. Harrington Database
Project: http://nas.ucdavis.edu/NALC/JPH.html
DAVIS, Calif. — The first time José Freeman heard his tribe's lost language through the crackle of a 70-year-old recording, he cried.
"My ancestors were speaking to me," said Freeman of the sounds captured when American Indians still inhabited California's Salinas Valley. "It was like coming home."
Though the last native speaker of Salinan died almost half a century ago, more and more indigenous people are finding their extinct or endangered tongues, one word or song at a time, thanks to a late linguist and some University of California, Davis, scholars who are working to transcribe his life's obsession.
Driven to record the native languages he saw disappearing all around him, John Peabody Harrington spent four decades gathering more than 1 million pages of phonetic notations on languages spoken by tribes from Alaska to South America. When the technology became available, he supplemented his written record with audio recordings — first using wax cylinders, then aluminum discs.
Martha Macri, who teaches California Indian Studies at UC Davis and is one of the principal researchers on the J.P. Harrington Database Project, is working with American Indian volunteers to transcribe Harrington's phonetic notations. Once the words are entered into a database that tribes can access, researchers hope they will bridge the long silence separating the people Harrington interviewed from their descendants.
Although it will be years before all the material can be made available, some American Indians connected to the Harrington Project have already begun putting it to use. Members of Freeman's tribe gather on their ancestral land every month to practice what they've learned of their language — a few words, some grammar, old songs.
"The ultimate outcome is to get it back to the communities it came from," Macri said. "There is so much cultural knowledge embedded in language."
"They trusted him"
By all accounts, Harrington, who died in 1961, was a devoted, if somewhat eccentric, scholar. Sometimes he spent 20 or 30 minutes on one word, saying it over and over until the person he was interviewing agreed he'd gotten the pronunciation correct, said Jack Marr, who met Harrington as a 12-year-old boy and worked as his assistant into his 20s.
"They trusted him," Marr said of the Indians they worked with. "A lot of people, if they tried to walk in and say, 'I want to record you,' they'd get thrown out. But not Harrington. I think people recognized that we were doing this for posterity."
The linguist's sense of urgency animates the letters he sent to Marr nearly every day.
"Rain or no rain, rush," Harrington said in signing off one such dispatch. "Dying languages depend on you."
But the same impulse that made him successful — in many cases his notes provide the only record of long-gone languages — would also confound later efforts to pass the words down to new generations.
Harrington was so focused on gathering information, for instance, that he spent little time polishing his work for publication, according to Marr. He hated being "cooped up" in an office, wasting precious time on papers, Marr said. Deeply mistrustful of other researchers, he stashed much of his research as he traveled, deliberately keeping it out of reach of his colleagues.
Decades of sorting and categorizing followed. The National Anthropological Archives finally finished transferring Harrington's notes to microfilm in 1991.
Linguists, archeologists, botanists and others have spent the years since combing through the files. But microfilm readers are expensive, and reading the notations requires some training, said Macri.
So the treasure trove of information on lost native languages remained inaccessible to the people with the most interest — tribal members.
The Harrington Project was created with the goal of returning the words to those who can imbue them with life again, as well as making the material more accessible to scholars.
The researchers are teaching tribal members across California how to read Harrington's cramped handwriting and decipher the notation system he devised, then sort the information into searchable categories.
For now, Macri's team is focused on the more than 100 California languages Harrington cataloged, such as Wiyot, Serrano and Luiseno, for which there are few records other than Harrington's work.
Making sense to others
Jacob Gutierrez, a member of the San Gabriel Band of Mission Indians ("Pipiimaram," in the tribe's own language), has been working on the project for 2 ½ years. He has decoded all the material Harrington gathered on his people — more than 6,000 pages — and is now working on information about their linguistic neighbors to the north.
"I find it to be the most rewarding work I have ever done," he said. "Every new word, story or song is an absolute treasure for me and my people."
Wondering out loud whether Harrington would have been satisfied to see languages born again from his notes and recordings, Marr said, "It's gratifying."
"But he would have felt very sad he didn't get more. He always wanted to do more."

Batman and Robin appears in 1983 issues.
Forced to serve a life sentence for the crimes of his father, Bane was born and raised in the underground prison, Peña Duro. There, he forged himself into the pinnacle of physical and mental potential all without seeing the light of day. Escaping to Gotham City, Bane pitted himself against Batman and became famous as "The Man Who Broke the Bat". His strength is often enhanced greatly by a drug called "Venom" that puts him in an unstable mental state.
Roman Sionis, AKA the Black Mask, is a ruthless Gotham City-based mob boss and leader of the False Face Society. At various times he has been the supreme leader of the Gotham criminal Underworld. Possessing an extreme hatred for Bruce Wayne, and a sadistic talent for torturing his victims, makes the Black Mask one of Batman's most dangerous adversaries.
Catwoman, the costumed alias persona of Selina Kyle, is a mostly reformed cat burglar with an on-again, off-again, romantic relationship with Batman. She is shown as a woman who is very strong-willed, independent and morally conflicted with her past.
Two people have taken up the mantle of the Cavalier. The first being a superhero and the other being a villain.
Cassius "Clay" Payne is the offspring of Sondra Fuller (Lady Clayface)and Preston Payne (Clayface III). The Mud Pack was made
up of Lady Clayface, and three previous men who called themselves Clayface.
Matthew Hagen is a shapeshifter, and one of the many people to use the name Clayface.
Basil Karlo was an actor who upon discovering that a remake of one of his classic horror movies was being made went insane and began killing the cast and crew, wearing the mask of the film's villain Clayface, until stopped by Batman. Initially having no superpowers, Karlo joined with a group of other "Clayfaces" and stole their combined powers, allowing him to shapeshift into any forms he wants.
Preston Payne is the 3rd Clayface to fight Batman.
Todd Russell was once a soldier until he suffered massive injuries and disfigurement from an explosion. He was sent to the D.E.O. where he was treated with a compound similar to that of Clayface, warping his mind and body.
One of Batman's earliest villains, preceding even the Joker and Catwoman, Dr. Hugo Strange is a brilliant but disturbed psychologist who forms an obsessive vendetta against Batman. He is also one of the few villains who have successfully deduced that the Batman's real identity is Bruce Wayne.
The Joker, Clown Prince of Crime, is Batman's arch-nemesis. An agent of chaos known for his purple three-piece suit and insidious smile, he has caused Batman more suffering than any other villain he has ever faced. His origin, name, and true motivations are unknown in mystery.
Waylon Jones was born with a genetic mutation making a reptile's skin, sharp claws and teeth appear due to opposite evolution. Croc became a circus wrestler whom would rise to conquer the Gotham Mob racket only then to become one of Batman's most physically imposing rogues.
The fourth and only female Clayface. She possesses the same abilities as Matt Hagen, but is more powerful.
Nocturna's step-son, lover, and partner in crime.
The alabaster seductress of the evening calling herself Nocturna is really Natasha Knight,who suffers from a rare "light sensitivity" disease. She appears in the pages of the Darknight the Batman as a moonlighting thieving temptress.
Intelligent, rich and sophisticated; Oswald Cobblepot puts up a gentlemanly front, but behind closed doors he is the angered, power hungry criminal known as The Penguin. He shows flashes of compassion sometimes, but he is dominated by a desire to be respected and to control those around him.
A botanical biochemist, Pamela Isley is a fervent eco-terrorist out to save the world's plant life by any means necessary. She often finds herself at odds with Batman, though they have, on occasion, fought on the same side. Pre-New 52 she had a long friendship with Harley Quinn and, in fact, gave her meta-human abilities. Ivy, Harley, and Catwoman later teamed up as the Gotham City Sirens. Post-New 52, she was a member of the Birds of Prey for a time before betraying them to further her cause.
Ra's al Ghul, whose name translates to "The Demon's Head" in Arabic, is the centuries-old leader of the League of Assassins. He seeks to purge humanity of crime and corruption, utilizing the rejuvenating Lazarus Pits to maintain his immortality. Though Ra's seeks to make Batman his successor, Batman opposes him.
Edward Nigma is a villain obsessed with riddles, puzzles, and brain teasers, who took the alias of the Riddler to commit crimes. Riddler frequently tries to outsmart Gotham's hero Batman, but is always defeated by the Dark Knight. After spending some time 'reformed' working as a Private Investigator in Gotham, he has returned to his old villainous ways.
Often known as the Master of Fear, the Scarecrow is an enemy of Batman. Recently, the Scarecrow was chosen to be the Sinestro of Sector-2814, due to his ability to instill fear. But Scarecrow is losing his sanity due to his lack of fear, knowing only Batman can scare him.
Lazy and overweight, Tweedledee has no fighting skill whatever. Along with his cousin, Tweedledum, his danger comes from his cunning and ruthless strategic thinking. Tweedledee and his cousin often work alongside the Mad Hatter, wreaking havoc in Gotham City
Lazy and overweight, Tweedledum has no fighting skill at all. Along with his cousin Tweedledee, he relies on his cunning and ruthless strategies in order to commit crime. Along with Tweedledee, Tweedledum often works alongside the Mad Hatter in Gotham City. The trio are usually beaten by Batman and Robin.
Formerly the D.A. of Gotham City, Harvey Dent was an ally of Batman and Commissioner Gordon until he had acid thrown onto the left side of his face by a mob boss, scarring him for life. The incident drove Harvey insane and he became Two-Face, obsessed with chance and always carrying a double-headed coin, which he flips to determine his every decision.
