5.0 out of 5 stars Rasta Fiesta,
This review is from: Virgin Front Line: Sounds Of Reality (Audio CD)
In 2001, Virgin released the immensely satisfying four-cd boxset, simply called The Front Line with a fantastic attached booklet with features on all the acts. I guess Virgin have picked that most people won't have that, and they are probably right. But it is still a little disappointing that 20 of those tracks are replicated here on this otherwise outstanding compilation (I have included the 12" versions which tend to offer little extra, but not the dub versions which are often regarded as separate tracks). That's a little surprising as acts such as The Mighty Diamonds, Tapper Zukie and Gregory Isaacs have an extensive back catalogue, from their Front Line days alone.
Nevertheless, this is an excellent collection that will introduce many people to the likes of U Brown, Ranking Trevor, The Twinkle Brothers (not as twinkle toes as you might expect), Vivian Weathers, Delroy Washington and Jah Lloyd. It will also reveal that Althea and Donna recorded more great records beyond Uptown Top Ranking, and allows Sly Dunbar to play around on his own.
But ultimately it is the stars who make this effort more than worthwhile: Gregory Isaacs is untouchable, Culture are outstanding, Big Youth revolutionary and Tapper Zukie a demented rock.
it could have done with more Johnny Clarke and less Keith Hudson, and listening would have been more cohesive if the act's contributions were collated three at a time, as they were on The Front Line set, but with a big booklet including a preface by John Lydon, this is a magnificent addition to anyone just finding out what reggae has to offer or those with sizeable collections.

4.0 out of 5 stars SUCH GOOD MEMORIES.,
E. Kelly "keypad" (Didcot,UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Virgin Front Line: Sounds Of Reality (MP3 Download)
I have been seeking out the original 'Front line' album for years as that compilation punctuated much of my life back in the late 1970's when I used to live in a squat down Latimer Road, in West London, and hung about down Ladbroke Grove and Portobello Road all the time. I had to get this as a download immediately when I found it on Amazon, as there is so much good stuff in this collection, including the tracks from the first album. Such nostalgia is well worth the money for me. I gather that the C.D box set has some sort of introduction by John Lydon. I encountered him once back in the late 70's, wasn't impressed by his negative, arrogantly assumptive, labelling of us people he didn't know and the other theatrically anti social, proclamations of disinformation being emitted from his gob, so I won't be too sad to miss him in print either. this is a great album of a really exciting bygone era that I can now enjoy in my 60s, even if my hopes and dreams never even came close to being realised. Do they ever ?

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent 5CD summary of '76-'79 era (mostly) roots reggae, the majority of which was released by the Front Line Label....,
TCH (Cambs, UK.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Virgin Front Line: Sounds Of Reality (Audio CD)
It is rather wonderful that Universal/Virgin Records should produce a lovingly packaged 5-CD box-set with a hefty booklet with evocative pictures and label scans (and an introduction by John Lydon himself!) dedicated to a minority musical form [reggae] in an age of fast declining record sales. The tagline for this set is that it summarises the short-lived Front Line label started by Richard Branson's Virgin Records in 1978 and closed down two years later in 1980 (effectively bringing to a close the roots era of reggae). In fact the first music on this set comes from 1976 and includes tracks from The Mighty Diamonds seminal "Right Time" LP (produced by Joseph Hoo Kim at Channel One) and Johnny Clarke's similarly brilliant "Rockers Time Now" LP (produced by Bunny 'Striker' Lee). The 1st CD therefore chronologically covers 1976 and 1977, before the Front Line Label actually existed! No matter since it contains some brilliant music from the high summer of the roots era of reggae with an emphasis on vocalists and vocal groups rather than DJs. The only two duds on this CD emanate from the usually reliable Keith Hudson; from his legendarily awful "Too Expensive" LP (it really was!) and these two tracks should have been replaced with something else (more Johnny Clarke perhaps?).
CD2 is where Front Line proper starts largely covering 1978 and is reasonably strong but for the presence of [way] too many DJ tracks (how they thought this was a commercial proposition in the international market even in the late 70's I don't know and I'm speaking as someone who largely likes DJ stuff but this music isn't from the top drawer of roots based toasting and at an hour plus it really is too much with not enough vocal tracks to break things up).
CD3 which spans 1979 prior to the shut down of Front Line in 1980, and covers the autumn of the roots era, is much stronger than CD2 since Gregory Isaacs makes a welcome appearance with the excellent "Lonely Girl" as does Culture and remarkably The Abyssinians (though their tracks aren't so great), all this in addition to the hardy perennials throughout these CDs; The Gladiators and the underrated Twinkle Brothers. There are still a few toasting numbers but obviously the 1st wave of DJ music from 1978 (detailed on CD2) hadn't sold and so a lot of these artists had been dropped (to no avail since the label was closed entirely early the following year).
CD4 covers a bunch of rare 12" discomixes (typically a song immediately followed by its dub) and these tracks are largely excellent in a solid roots vein containing a third to two-thirds split of DJs to vocalists and only one real dud, the closing live version of "Chalice In The Palace/Wear Yu To The Ball" by the foundation DJ U-Roy. The standouts here are "Soon Forward" by the ever dependable Gregory Isaacs and the tough roots steppers of "Africa" & Jah Kingdom Come" by The Twinkle Brothers (unfortunately spelt 'Winkle Brothers' on the tracklisting of the latter track).
CD5 is titled 'From The Vaults' and contains a mix of rare 12" discomixes (mostly very strong with entries from Gregory Isaacs, the brilliant "Mr. Brown" & "Tune In", The Twinkle Brothers "I Don't Want To Be Lonely....", and even Linton Kwesi Johnson AKA Poet & The Roots; the powerful "All Wi Dooin' Is Defendin'"). Also Keith Hudson somewhat redeems himself with a solid flute driven unreleased instrumental, "Virgin Rock".
Overall there about 5-7 real duds in the set which out of 92 tracks ain't half bad. In addition a couple of tracks overlap with the recently released Front Line Roots & Dub 2CD sets (eg. Prince Far I's "Borno Dub"), a bit of an oversight but in no way a deal breaker. The set itself is contained within a sturdy cardboard box (sadly with some typos on the tracklisting) and inside is a car sticker (?), some large post-cards comprising contemporaneous label advertising (evocative) and best of all a thick booklet with a solid set of liner notes [inc. artist by artist descriptions], plenty of photos/label scans and full track details. The 5xCDs are contained within thin cardboard sleeves with original LP label art to differentiate them [a nice touch]. The packaging is a real boon and really contributes to the value of the set despite the occasionally 'up and down' nature of the music itself.
In conclusion an excellent set with some strong music from the peak to the end of the roots era ['76 - late '79] and only a few underpar tracks and excellent packaging ----- if you are a reggae fan, especially one of the roots era, this is definitely worth picking up.

This review is from: Virgin Front Line: Sounds Of Reality (Audio CD)
This is a really tasty presentation complete informative book and other goodies. I like the CD covers being faithful reproductions of the original vinyl releases. Sound quality is generally first rate and in some cases exceptionally so. As an original collector of the label in its heyday, the tracks chosen here seem all too familiar to these ears but there is enough more lesser heard tracks to make the listening experience to be worthwhile as a whole. Like all large compilations, there are a few tracks which would have been better left out, but that is just a personal thing. I am happy that I purchased this release and pretty sure it should prove to be indispensable to 'new ears'.

A truly wonderful musical experience - am so glad that I bought. Have never really listened to this type of music before apart from Bob Marley of course but was swayed by a couple of reviews in the Sunday papers and took a chance.
So glad I did and recommend to all to buy - it's just an amazing musical journey.
The box set is of the highest quality with an excellent book, 5 cd's and other items - can't stop playing it.

This review is from: Virgin Front Line: Sounds Of Reality (MP3 Download)
I downloaded the Mp3 version , 92 songs a third of the price of the CD box set , I had read a review about this set in one of the review sections of a national newspaper and as I have the original vinyl front line album I thought I would give this a go.
the music is great . I have yet to listen to it all , but I have really enjoyed the tracks I have listened to so far.
Great value.

Alaskan Gold Mine
|Earn gold on each Gold Rush and Challenge Course in the Alaska Wilderness Pack.
You will need to earn a gold medal on the following:
Keystone Canyon Challenge Course
For the challenge courses, the best option is probably to fly flat out as fast as you can around the course. Make sure you are flying at night to collect the extra 500 points. Setting a fast time should gain you the 3,000 points needed for gold. If you need more points, then try throwing in a barrel roll in between the further apart checkpoints as this put you over the point target.
For the gold rush, you will need to collect the flying rings. You do not need to collect them all, however, if you start from the right place, these should not give you too much trouble.

Lovely Choice AU 1861-O Double Eagle, An Important Wartime Rarity1861-O $20 AU55 PCGS. Struck in the South in the year the Civil War began, a numismatic legend has grown up around this issue. Allegedly, the coins that show weakness on the bottom digits of the date were struck under the auspices of the State of Louisiana or the Confederacy. While unprovable it does make a good story. Most of the surviving examples of this issue are VF or XF with AU pieces being very elusive. The surfaces are bright and semi-reflective with deep golden-yellow coloration. Surprisingly clean, the only noticeable flaw is a planchet lamination by star 12 on the obverse. Oh, and by the way, the bottom of the date is weakly struck.

If you craft your decorations you will save a lot of money. This New Year's Resolution: Redecroate for less.
Wall Decor
Decorating your walls can spruce up your home in so many ways. Not only can it add color but it can add texture. If you craft your own wall decor there are so many things you can do with it. You can paint circles and squares, make the art in a 3-D form, you can add patterns and use prints or stencils. Whatever you wish to make there is always a great option for your taste.

Dining Room
Your dining room is the most important room in the house as you use it to entertain your guests. With that said, your New Year's Resolution should be to redecorate it with style. Add a splash of something new. Something simple and easy can be a topiary that just sits nicely in a corner. Round spheres make for great dining room decor too as they can be presented in nice wicker baskets. My favorite are glass vases. You can choose any flowers you wish to put in there. It always adds color.

This early lucite necklace is very cleverly designed. The flat, circular discs are bevelled on one side so that all lie even and flat, both front and back. The holes for the threading of the cord are all angled through the discs so that there is no cord visible either front or back. A lot of thought went into this design.
The discs are graduated in size with the central one measuring 1 3/8" in diameter. Although the necklace looks like the rest is composed of small beads, they are actually 1 ½" long scored tubes, separated by round beads. It measures 19" around. A barrel clasp completes the design. All-in-all, this necklace is much more than the sum of its parts!

The earth sciences, backed by formidable arrays of data-gathering and processing technologies, now offer the apparently credible promise of predicting the future of nature. Policy makers, under pressure as always to deliver public benefit at low cost and even lower risk, have strong incentives to accept this promise as one response to environmental issues.
As part of the Science, Policy, and Outcomes Project, funded by the National Science Foundation, the authors are investigating the role of prediction in the making of environmental policies. Such policies relate to problems in planning for and responding to natural hazards (weather, floods, earthquakes, asteroids); planning for and responding to anthropogenic hazards (global climate change, acid rain, nuclear waste); managing natural resources (oil reserves, beaches); and regulating environmental impacts (mining).
We convened a workshop in Estes Park, Colorado, September 10-12, 1998 (along with our co-investigators, Roger Pielke, Jr., and Dale Jamieson), that brought together a diverse group of people involved in various ways with the process of prediction. Among the 35 participants were a scientist who works on climate models, the former emergency manager of a major California city, a banker from a coastal city that is subject to hurricanes, a seismologist, a rancher, a former official at the federal Office of Management and Budget, an engineer who works on nuclear waste isolation, and a coastal geologist who studies beach erosion. The goal of the workshop was to apply the collective wisdom of a range of stakeholders (including natural scientists who make predictions and social scientists who are concerned with their use) to the problem of how scientific predictions should be used (or not used) in the development of effective policies relating to natural hazards, natural resources, and the environment.
People listen to or read the morning weather report and then make a decision about clothing, accessories (umbrella? gloves? hat?), and mode of transport. This decision is backed by personal experience of weather and its local fluctuations, as well as a scientific and technical support infrastructure that in the U.S. issues on the order of 10 million weather predictions per year. These predictions, based in part on real-time observations of weather patterns, are aimed at providing the specific information that people need. The consequences of a poor prediction, or a poor decision based on a good prediction, are often modest--a wet shirt, perhaps a car skidding off the road--but, on rare occasions, severe--an airplane crash or failure to evacuate a town, for example. In any case, users have accumulated enough experience in comparing the prediction to the actual event to personally calibrate the weather prediction process.
Conversely, in other situations such personal experience is not possible. Members of Congress listen to testimony from scientists about nuclear waste disposal. Because radioactive waste remains dangerous for hundreds of thousands of years, disposal systems must operate effectively for at least that long. The relevant science uses analogy, mathematical models, and extrapolation to predict events far in the future. Thus, there is no basis in personal experience for evaluating or calibrating the actual performance of the disposal systems or the science. Decisions must be based on abstractions. Action must be taken, but the consequences of a poor prediction, or a poor decision based on a good prediction, are potentially disastrous, both politically (a lost election) and societally (radionuclides leaking into groundwater or even reaching the atmosphere).
Decision making is forward looking, so the allure of prediction is strong. We look to predictions to help us make decisions that can mitigate or evade the impact of nature on society and of society on nature. In doing so, we need to recognize that prediction has become part of a complex decision-making process, a network of interrelationships that must function well across all of its connections if predictions are to serve society successfully. This integrated process involves policy makers (who solicit and pay for predictions), scientists (who make predictions), and decision makers (who use them--for everything from deciding whether to carry an umbrella to evacuating a city in the path of a hurricane; from establishing levels of insurance risk to negotiating an international environmental agreement).
The less frequent, less observable, less spatially discrete, more gradual, more distant in the future, and more severe a predicted phenomenon, the more difficult it is to accumulate direct experience. Where direct experience is sparse or lacking, other sources of societal understanding must be developed or the prediction process will not function effectively. Science alone does not create this understanding.
What is necessary above all is an institutional structure that allows policy makers, decision makers, and scientists to interact closely throughout the entire prediction process, so that each knows the needs and capabilities of the others. It is crucial that this process be open, participatory, and conducive to mutual respect. Efforts to shield expert research and decision making from public scrutiny and accountability invariably backfire and fuel distrust and counterproductive policies and decisions.
How can the prediction process foster sound decision making?
Even so, many types of predictions will never be understood by decision makers in the way that weather predictions are understood. Experience is important and cannot be replaced, but the prediction process can be facilitated in other ways, for example by being totally open about predictions, warts and all; and by fully considering alternative approaches to prediction, such as no regrets public policies, adaptation, and better planning and engineering.
When the prediction process is fostered by effective, participatory institutions, and when a healthy decision environment emerges from these institutions, the products of predictive science may even become less important. Earthquake prediction was once a policy priority; now it is considered technically infeasible, at least in the near future. But, in California, the close, institutionalized communication among scientists, engineers, state and local officials, and the private sector has led to considerable advances in earthquake preparedness and a much decreased dependence on prediction. On the other hand, in the absence of an integrated and open decision environment, the scientific merit of predictions can be rendered politically irrelevant, as has been seen with nuclear waste disposal and acid rain. That is, if there is no adequate decision environment for dealing with an event or situation, a scientifically successful prediction may be no more useful than an unsuccessful one.
These observations fly in the face of much current practice, where, typically, policy makers recognize a problem, scientists then do research to predict natural behavior associated with the problem, and predictions are finally delivered to decision makers with the expectation that they will be both useful and well-used. This sequence, which puts predictive research at the core of the decision environ- ment, rarely functions well in practice. In contrast, our work suggests that, for virtually every environmental problem, the key to effective decision making lies in improving the decision environment itself. Such improvement may come from cost-effective, politically realistic alternatives to prediction. The goal of the decision environment must be good decisions, not good predictions.

This project is supported by a grant from the National Science Foundation, Societal Dimensions of Engineering, Science, and Technology Program.
Most local officials have no personal experience dealing with disasters or disaster recovery, and they are often overwhelmed by the complex issues and decisions that follow. The Natural Hazards Center, with financial support from the Public Entity Risk Institute (PERI), is currently preparing a report and related products regarding the need, feasibility, form, content, timing, and operation of a Community Recovery Assistance Team Program to help local officials successfully manage postdisaster recovery. The project will explore the need for outside expert advice to help community officials avoid being overwhelmed by complex disaster recovery processes, address community impacts effectively, and capitalize on rebuilding opportunities. Among other possible benefits, such assistance could enable community officials to: 1) take decisive, informed action to restore key services and coordinate outside funding and other assistance; and 2) guide recovery activities to ensure consistency with the community's vision and objectives for long-term growth and disaster resiliency.
This project will develop a framework for creating teams of well-organized, experienced disaster professionals who could be mobilized to work directly with recovering communities. While such support might appear to be an obvious need, to our knowledge, technical assistance teams have been used only in a few instances. The initial phase of this project is a planning year that provides an opportunity to discuss the technical assistance needs of communities after disasters. Therefore, we would like the help of interested readers of the Observer. To successfully explore the Community Recovery Assistance Team concept, we need your input on the following questions:
1) What are the biggest problems facing communities during recovery from catastrophe?
2) In what areas could disaster recovery teams be of most help to communities?
3) Based on your experience with disasters, how could the teams most help communities integrate mitigation into recovery?
4) Based on your experience with disasters, how could the teams most help communities in terms of broader long-term recovery and sustainable redevelopment?
5) What types of persons should comprise the teams-- what discipline, experience, etc.?
6) Do you know of any instances in which outside technical assistance has been provided to communities during recovery?
7) Do you know of others who might have useful information and be willing to respond these questions?
Finally, please share additional comments on the program with us. For further information on this project or to respond to these questions, contact Jeanine Stevens, Natural Hazards Center, Campus Box 482, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309-0482; (303) 492-2149; fax: (303) 492-2151; e-mail: email@example.com.
In 1997, in a major initiative to advance earthquake science, the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded three centers across the U.S. to conduct and coordinate earthquake research for the nation (see the Observer, Vol. XX, No. 2, p. 19). The following is an update concerning one of those institutions--the Mid-America Earthquake Center. We will examine the other centers in future issues of the Observer.
The Mid-America Earthquake (MAE) Center was the only one of the three NSF-funded centers that was entirely new and not established in conjunction with an existing program. The MAE Center is a consortium of seven central- and eastern-U.S. academic institutions1, headquartered at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
The center's mission is to examine and mitigate problems associated with low-frequency, high-consequence seismic events east of the Rocky Mountains. Following a multidisciplinary approach, the MAE center carries out research within three major programs: transportation networks, essential facilities, and hazard evaluation. The center also supports active programs for education and outreach.
The MAE center is now fully staffed and entering its second year of operation. In addition to overseeing active projects in all five program areas, it is collaborating with the other two NSF-funded centers--the Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER) and the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research (PEER) Center--in transportation, social science, and education studies.
An important MAE Center focus is the creation of links to business, industry, and government, and to further that goal, it has just established a program entitled "access2" to provide business, industry, and government direct input to the center's research programs and access to its research products, expertise, and students. Access2 is the first of three programs that will compose the MAE Center Business, Industry, and Government (B-I-G) Partnership Program, which will involve regional offices in Atlanta, Memphis, and St. Louis.
The best source of information about the Mid-America Earthquake Center is its Web site: http://mae.ce.uiuc.edu. The center also publishes a bimonthly newsletter; to subscribe or gain additional information, contact the MAE Center, 1241 Newmark Civil Engineering Lab, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 105 North Mathews Avenue, Urbana, IL 61801; (217) 244-6302; fax: (217) 333-3821; WWW: http://mae.ce.uiuc.edu.
The Multidisciplinary Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (MCEER), headquartered at the State University of New York at Buffalo, is spearheading an effort sponsored by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Region II office to build a consortium of organizations that will define and assess the vulnerability of the New York City metropolitan area to earthquake hazards.
Academic institutions; municipal, state, and federal emergency management agencies; public service organizations; and private corporations have been invited to participate in the consortium's activities. As seismic studies and a built environment inventory are developed for the metropolitan area, the consortium will try to foster local awareness by providing key groups with accurate vulnerability and loss estimation data as well as technical assistance regarding loss reduction.
MCEER is responsible for overall coordination of the project, which is overseen by a technical coordinator, an executive committee of representatives from some of the key participating agencies, and an external technical advisory board. For additional information about the consortium, contact Bruce Swiren, Earthquake and Hurricane Programs Manager, FEMA Region II, 26 Federal Plaza, Room 1337, New York, NY 10278-0002; (212) 225-7230; or Andrea Dargush, MCEER, State University of New York at Buffalo, Red Jacket Quadrangle, Buffalo, NY 14261-0025; (716) 645-3391; fax: (716) 645-3399; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com; WWW: http://mceer.buf falo.edu.
Financial losses due to natural catastrophes have increased dramatically in recent years because of rapid population growth in high-risk coastal areas, increased property values, and more frequent occurrence of severe storms, particularly hurricanes. At the same time, complete data regarding these losses have not been available or in a format easily accessible to researchers.
To assist the study of insured losses from catastrophic events, the Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) has developed a catastrophe paid loss database, which provides more detailed loss data than that provided by the Property Claim Services (PCS) data used by many insurers and researchers.
PCS has provided information to insurers since 1949 about insured catastrophe losses. The organization estimates insured losses associated with catastrophic events--those that result in losses above $25 million. These estimates, issued shortly after an event occurs, are based on loss projections provided by insurers and post-event damage inspections by PCS representatives. However, because of the nature of the data, the detailed analyses that can be performed are somewhat limited.
By comparison, the IBHS database, which includes data for disaster losses from January 1994 to the present, uses actual claim payments as they occur over time to establish the ultimate insured cost of a catastrophe. The database provides the total loss estimate for each catastrophe and allows the data to be broken down by type of business loss; personal and commercial losses; building, contents, and time (e.g., business interruption) losses; and state, county, and zip code. The goal of this project is to create a better understanding of catastrophic losses and to provide a basis for research, mitigation, and public education.
A report on this data base was recently published by IBHS and can be obtained from Patty Hatch, IBHS, 175 Federal Street, Suite 500, Boston, MA 02110-222; (617) 292-2003, ext. 223; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com. For further information about the project, contact Greta Ljung at the address above or by calling (617) 292-2003, ext. 217, or by e-mailing email@example.com.
The United States is exposed to more types of natural disasters than any other nation, and America's children are among the most vulnerable to harm from these catastrophes.
Recognizing this problem, in December the Institute for Business and Home Safety (IBHS) launched Protecting Our Kids from Disasters, a national program to reduce the risk of natural disaster-related injury to children in approximately 93,000 child care centers in the United States. Supported by the insurance industry, IBHS is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to reduce deaths, injuries, property damage, economic losses, and human suffering caused by natural disasters.
Over the next five to 10 years, volunteers from the insurance industry, as well as others interested in performing this important public service, will work with child care centers nationwide to implement nonstructural safety measures. These modifications will not only prevent minor mishaps but will also help the centers better withstand the effects of windstorms, earthquakes, wildfires, and floods, thus speeding recovery after a disaster.
More information about Protecting Our Kids from Disasters is available from Craig Horton, IBHS, 175 Federal Street, Suite 500, Boston, MA 02110-2222; (617) 292-2003, ext. 244; fax: (617) 292-2022; WWW: http://www.ibhs.org.
Mitigation planning to achieve disaster reduction and sustainable development is an objective strongly advanced by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Taking its cue from FEMA, the state of Kentucky decided to make mitigation planning a goal for each of the 120 counties in the state. To accomplish this goal, state disaster management officials turned to the Martin School of Public Policy and Administration at the University of Kentucky to aid the state hazard mitigation office in creating the Hazard Mitigation Adoption Program. In February 1998, an office was created within the Martin School, and a project administrator was hired.
The Martin School adopted a two-pronged approach: 1) develop outreach efforts to educate and inform decision makers and citizens about the need for mitigation planning, and 2) provide training and assistance in the development of those plans.
The project uses a variety of approaches to fulfill its mission. A series of focus group meetings is being conducted throughout the state to gather information about the range of opinions and experiences of community leaders. Information from these sessions will then be used to identify key issues and develop a strategy for public education and training in hazard mitigation. The first four meetings were useful in developing a hazard mitigation workshop, presented for the first time in late June.
We are currently producing a public service video, All Kentucky is at Risk, which will be made available to all public access television stations, libraries, civic groups, and county officials. The video emphasizes developing community responsibility and raising public awareness of the need for mitigation against our state's natural hazards. Floods and landslides are the two major hazards Kentuckians face, although we are also at risk from a major earthquake along the New Madrid fault. Tornadoes and winter storms have also caused substantial damage in the state within the last couple of years.
As part of this project, we established a Web page, http://www.uky.edu/Projects/MitigationKy, to provide useful contacts, suggested readings, information about upcoming conferences and workshops, and links to other disaster management sites. We hope the Martin School can become a disaster resource center for Kentucky that uses its many assets to assist local citizens in developing disaster resistant communities.
The initial challenges to the program have been establishing contacts in every county and building trust in the project objectives. Working through the 14 state disaster and emergency management area coordinators and the area development districts, we have compiled lists of local politicians and business leaders. However, in some areas, these resources have proven to be inadequate, making the process of identifying key people throughout the state difficult and slow.
In all instances, there has been a concerted effort to listen to the people in local communities and to see things from their perspective. We do not want the project to be viewed as just another state agency trying to tell local people what to do. Throughout the state, participants expressed their belief that local communities need more control over their disaster management decisions, but also need the financial support of the state to carry through with disaster mitigation projects. Local leaders have also expressed concern that the state does not demonstrate enough commitment from the top for disaster management and hazard mitigation.
In addition, community leaders indicated concern about what they see as conflicting information. We often heard complaints that FEMA says one thing while the state emergency management office and the local emergency managers say another. A major barrier in designing mitigation plans within the counties is lack of building codes and ordinances--and particularly, lack of enforcement of those that do exist. Cultural differences also abound throughout the state, particularly in eastern Kentucky, where there is a lack of adequate land for development and a history of land misuse following decades of mining and timber extraction.
Focus participants stressed the need for community education as well as the need to develop disaster management and hazard mitigation educational tools suitable for elementary and middle schools. Most participants felt strongly that the message needs to be directed at children to effect a meaningful change in collective behavior.
Local officials also believe that unless mitigation efforts can be shown to have a positive financial effect upon the
community, it is unlikely citizens will buy into mitigation planning. In focus group sessions, we frequently heard the comment, Get to them through their wallet.
The project is a success and has been funded for an additional year. Working with the state geological society, which is housed on the University of Kentucky campus, we are seeking ways to incorporate other disciplines into the project. In addition, we are providing information and assistance to the city of Louisville, which was selected as a FEMA Project Impact community. We have developed presentations for the annual Governor's Emergency Management Workshop and are currently developing a hazard mitigation workbook based on the model mitigation plan for the state of Kentucky.

In an effort to educate homeowners about ways to reduce their risks from hurricanes and earthquakes, the South Carolina Sea Grant Consortium; the city of Charleston, South Carolina; and the Clemson Cooperative Extension Service have joined forces to transform a 125-year-old abandoned house into a model of sustainable building practices. The project, 113 Calhoun Street: A Center for Sustainable Living, will become an example of how improved building materials and methods can help structures survive high winds, floods, and earthquakes. The center will educate architects, engineers, designers, contractors, and the general public through exhibits, workshops, and news releases. Using old and new construction practices, renovators will incorporate environmentally sound materials and building methods, leaving exposed areas for visitors to see how improvements were made.
Principle funding for the renovation and hazard retrofit phase of the project was provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Additional funds are being provided by State Farm Insurance and the South Carolina Association for Hazard Mitigation. Several companies have offered in-kind donations of products and services.
Modifications to the building include replacing the foundation with a block foundation and bolting the structure to it; elevating the building to base flood level; installing metal tie-downs from roof to foundation; improving the performance of roofing shingles in high winds; and attaching roof decking with screws and using adhesives to provide extra wind protection. In addition, the center will exhibit a variety of storm window coverings, methods for repairing flood damage, and techniques for securing heavy objects to prevent tipping and falling in earthquakes.

I slide just about anything I want to save into these sheet protectors...recipes, pictures of haircuts I want to share with my hair stylist, important papers, scrapbook of my house building project & receipts, and I am currently working on a scrapbook for my daughter's graduation. They are durable, easy to find, and the price is right!
These are wonderful
By OfficeManager2000
I use this product for sheet music. This way I do not have to whole punch it. I can put 2 pieces of single sheet music back to back and arrange the music the way I want. These work really well with either wet or dry erase markers and erase completely which then I don't have to mark up the original (bonus). The semi-clear surface is great because I don't have a free hand most times to move the music out of the glare of over head lights.
Great product
By acupcakefortheteacher
I love these sheet protectors. They are very durable! I've tried other brands, and they just fall apart. These work for me!!
No more wrinkles!! In your Paper anyway...
By aznstickerlvr
Economy Sheet Protectors are the cheapest way to protect special papers. Since they're cheaper they don't look as nice as some of the other options, but they work! I like to use them in my binders. To keep them from flopping around I like to stick a thick, thick, piece of paper between the two papers.
Great for organizing

ST. LOUIS - JANUARY 3: Quarterback Alex Smith #11 of the San Francisco 49ers looks to pass the ball during the game against the St. Louis Rams at the Edward Jones Dome on January 3, 2010 in St. Louis, Missouri. The 49ers beat the Rams 28-6. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)
This weekend the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers will meet in San Francisco to determine who will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. While both teams are full of talented players, this article examines five players who are going to be the biggest factors in determining if their team wins or loses this weekend. Alex Smith, San Francisco:In football, praise for a successful offense, and the criticism for a poor offense, are usually placed on the shoulders of the quarterback. While Alex Smith deserves praise for his play at the end of the game against New Orleans, his play through the first three and a half quarters was not as spectacular. San Francisco's offense led by Smith started the game against New Orleans, scoring 17 unanswered points. However, after that the offense stalled out punting the ball seven times, and losing the ball once on a fumble, in their next eight possessions. Fortunately, for San Francisco, New Orleans muffed one of those punts leading to a David ...

Bradley Cooper was pictured yet again wearing Red Wing Shoes 6 Inch Iron Ranger Boots while walking around NYC. This has probably been about the tenth time Mr. Cooper has been pictured in a pair of our favorite boots. Take notes, gentlemen.
Since Bradley has luck in the ladies department, maybe steal his style and get yourself a pair of Red Wing boots! Hey, there's no harm in trying, right? (more…)
It can be a bit tricky to dress with style if you don't exactly know what to wear with what. It's easy enough to get inspiration from all the pictures of celebrities floating around the Internet. The only problem is most of the time it's hard to tell what they are wearing or where to buy it. That's where we come in. Here are three celebrities with a cool, laid back style that is so easy to recreate. (more…)
Red Wing Shoes are all the rage with celebrities like Ryan Gosling, David Beckham and Drake. These boots are awesome because they are comfortable and durable. Red Wing Shoes come in multiple styles and colors. (more…)
Founder Donwan Harrell created PRPS with an eye toward form, function, and durability, believing in a "product with a purpose." With roots in the American south and a decade of world travel under his belt, Harrell's PRPS denim is a classic, nostalgic vision of American life with a hint of the worldly wayfarer. During his travels the Japanese stood out for the quality of their craftsmanship, so all PRPS denim is woven in small batches on vintage looms by a small community of artisans in Japan. Don't just take our word for it David Beckham, Brad Pitt and a number of other stars are big fans too! Check 'em out rockin' the Barracuda jean.

Your a sucker if ya don't stick your toe in the water before you jump in!
Originally written on Patriots Life | Last updated 3/6/13
According to NFL insider Adam Schefter, Wes Welker has no intentions of re-signing with the Patriots without first testing the free agent market. Schefter reportedly received this information from a "league source." This news comes after reports that progress had been made towards getting a long-term deal done with Welker. Many anticipated Brady's restructured contract was an indication Welker would be back. After the franchise tag went unused by the team yesterday, the only options left are to sign Welker or let him go. A report also came out that Welker still has hard feelings towards the team for his diminished role at the beginning of last season. Unfortunately I believe a team will offer Welker more than what the Patriots are willing. Let's just hope it's not from a conference rival like Denver, Texas, Baltimore, or Pittsburgh. We all know what Wes is capable of when paired with an elite QB. Has Welker played his last game as a Patriot? That is looking more likely as of t...

Thousands have fallen in love with the anonymously authored book The Way of a Pilgrim—the account of an ordinary man's encounter with the Eastern Orthodox Christian practice of the Jesus Prayer, which consists of the constant repetition of the short phrase, "Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy upon me." Here is the perfect introduction to this life-changing practice, as it was taught by one of the great spiritual lights of Russia. Bishop Ignatius Brianchaniov (1807–1867) provides wise instruction and advice covering all aspects of the practice, from how to get started, to approaching difficulties that arise, to dealing with friends and family who don't get what you're doing, to making this prayer (also called the Prayer of the Heart) the foundation of your life.

Outsourcing is a strategic choice, both in terms of what and to whom. Outsourcing creates a virtual resource pool and can free up capacity for activities that from strategic point of view are to be performed in-house. But outsourcing only helps when quality standards are adhered to. Therefore, we consider periodic extended quality checks as an integral part of outsourcing.

In 2014 the EPO, in collaboration with a market research institute, conducted a survey on patent information centres. The objective was to gain up-to-date knowledge on the structure and functioning of the PATLIB centres and to find out how the EPO could provide the right level of support according to their needs.
Main aspects analysed were staffing, funding, service portfolio and a self- assessment in how far customer needs are met by the centres. In addition the survey addressed tools PATLIBs are using to establish their services, the centres' training needs and networking issues.
Based on the findings of the survey, action areas have been identified where the EPO could contribute to the PATLIBs' reorientation process, directly or indirectly.

With the expansion of available databases and search tools, the question of when to stop your search is becoming increasingly relevant.
In the past, a search was finished when the bottom of the pile of the correct classification groups was reached. Now, with the advent of new search strategies, better tools and a string of procedural changes, how do we define the end of the search? What is the influence of those changes on our ability to determine when to stop a search?
This presentation will give an overview on the EPO's in-house search stop prerequisites, general parameters which influence the search, and the effect that clarity, complexity and the wording of the claims have on searches and their result.
Stephen Adams
This session will give an overview of why the non-patent literature remains an important resource, for both patentability searching and later invalidity or opposition proceedings. There are enormous back-files of cumulated scientific knowledge available in a variety of formats. Efficient searching in the non-patent literature can be particularly helpful when seeking to show lack of inventive step, and in gathering evidence for opposition proceedings. Some trends in availability of resources will be discussed, as well as the contribution of the internet.
Nigel Clarke
Hopefully you know what a patent is, so we won't go that far back. But we'll certainly look at the different parts of a patent document and see why every bit is important. But first we'll go back to the source of patent information; where it comes from and why. During the session we'll find out what you can do with patent information too. Patents are not solitary creatures and we'll look at the relationships between a given patent and its "relatives". We'll take a look at the perils of patent terminology, and the challenges of presenting IP to an IP-innocent audience. We'll visit the patent information market - who the stall holders are - who the customers are - and what persuades them to "buy". Finally we'll round up by taking a (metaphorical) helicopter ride to get a bird's eye view of patent information resources.

Is a patent still valid or not? Who owns a patent? Has anyone opposed this patent? An exploration of the EPO's legal status databases will reveal the richness and limits of both the EP Register and the INPADOC worldwide legal status database. Practical examples will show how to use the databases and what you can expect from them. We will also cross-check our results with databases from other patent offices. Unlike patents, the national term granted for trade marks and designs can vary widely across the world. Users wishing to establish the status of these IP rights will have to understand the basic legal principles underlying these rights and to consult a range of less-familiar sources. Trade mark and design databases are also highly dependent upon visual elements, rather than text, so the effectiveness of these databases is governed in part by how well they store and distribute image information. Comments will be made on both free-of-charge and commercial sources.

The IP5 offices (the five biggest IP offices in the world: EPO, JPO, KIPO, SIPO and USPTO) together handle about 80 per cent of the world's patent applications, and 95 per cent of all work carried out under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT).
This session looks at the most important features of the patent systems in the IP5 regions and aims at giving participants a quick reference guide to the major similarities and differences in the patent procedures before the IP5 offices and in the PCT. The session also explores by means of examples and case studies what may be the most suitable routes for different types of applicants and market situations.
The objective of this session is to enable staff from PATLIB centres to explain to their clients

This session will look at the motivation and the ways that universities can take inventions to market from the perspective of both the university and a spin out company.
It will discuss some of the good and not so good practice and it will illustrate the ways in which one researcher maximised available support and cut a path through obstacles to become a CEO of a growing company. The session will include an interactive team competition on "Pitching to Investors" with an appropriate prize for the winning team.

Patents are issued by approximately 160 countries, each following national principles of publishing and identifying official documents. WIPO standards are in place to help patent offices take a harmonised approach to their patent documentation; these will be reviewed from the point of view of the patent searcher. We will then follow a patent document as delivered by a national office in XML through the EPO's standardisation, reformatting and enriching process, until it is inserted in the master database and visible in Espacenet. This will reveal features of the database, like the patent family building, and it explain some of the peculiarities. The database file ultimately sent to users complies with WIPO Standard 36 – it is an example of the interesting dialogue between standards and real data. Commercial database producers have somewhat more freedom than patent offices to create additional fields and to standardise them in a way which suits their editorial processes. We will consider a patent record as it enters the public domain via official channels (first-level data) and what happens to the same document when it is incorporated into value-added databases as well.
Nigel Clarke, Björn Jürgens
The EPO has created sophisticated patent databases to enable its examiners to carry out the highest quality searches. The EPO has also made it possible to access those same databases via its publicly available search tools. The public tools can be used in PATLIB centres for your clients' searches. Of these tools, probably the most well-known is Espacenet. Espacenet is designed as the entry level search tool for general public use. However, less well known is Global Patent Index, based on the same databases as Espacenet but featuring more sophisticated search possibilities. GPI is aimed at the experienced patent searcher. We present Espacenet and GPI side by side. Which one to use? It's up to you!
Irene Schellner, Barnaby Hoyal
In 2014, the five biggest IP offices in the world, EPO, JPO, KIPO, SIPO and USPTO, collectively known as the IP5, received more than 2 million patent applications. Of these, more than 1.4 million patent applications were filed in China, Japan and Korea.
These constantly growing volumes of prior art, in particular from Asia, present one of the biggest challenges for patent searchers, both in patent offices and in industry. While the number of domestic patent applications in Asia is growing, the percentage of those having an English-language family member or equivalent in a Western language is falling. Patent information users limiting their searches only to English-language data, risk ignoring a major part of prior art coming from Asia.
This session looks at the patent information offer at the IP5 offices, with a particular focus on the free patent information sources provided by the Asian patent offices. Participants will learn about content and search functions and will get practical tips on how to make the most of these databases. Hands-on exercises will allow participants to explore themselves the search and automatic translation features on offer by the JPO, SIPO and KIPO. In addition the Global Dossier function available in Espacenet and the European Patent Register will be explained.
Alex Gardiner
The examiner and the applicant have been exchanging written communications, but now a summons to oral proceedings has been issued. What does that mean for an applicant? How should they behave and what can happen?
It is important to prepare for what may be a decisive and nerve-racking situation. The module looks at both the legal procedure and the human experience of oral proceedings. It considers the interaction of applicants, representatives and examiners in order to better advise those who may attend on preparation and the avoidance of major pitfalls.

Patent monitoring is an essential service to regularly inform customers on technical trends, competitors' activities or legal events occurring in the life of a particular patent. In the break-out session participants will learn about the following aspects:
Nigel Clarke
Patent offices worldwide continuously look for ways to increase efficiency through cooperation. The public spin-off benefit is visible in the emergence of services like Global Dossier and Common Citation Document. Global Dossier provides access to file wrapper data from partner offices direct from source and is a powerful means of rapidly accessing complex procedural and legal data. The Common Citation Document provides search report citations, and other citation data from all the members of a patent family, worldwide. Both can be used in a static "observation" or instantaneous "snapshot" mode or in a dynamic "predictive" way. This session will briefly outline the background to the development of these two very different services, and then illustrate the features and applications of each.
Sabine Kruspig
On the one hand, business methods are excluded from patentability if claimed as such (Art. 52 (2,3) EPC). On the other hand, technologies in the area of ICT (information and communication technology) industry become key enabler for new business environments. A short historical overview on "business methods" in the IPC, the requirements of EPC and PCT with respect to search documentation and the patentability of business method related patent applications will be given. The question of what is searched and where it can be searched remains a fascinating challenge within the legal frameworks, particularly in the area of computer-implemented business methods.
Lisa McDonald
In this session we will provide you with an overview of support materials available to help users make better use of patent information products and services. Participants will be shown where these materials can be found and in which formats they are available.
The subsequent discussion round will provide a platform for patent information centres to voice their requirements for support material for their users and to brainstorm with the EPO on how to improve their patent information user support services.

The International Bureau of WIPO administers four international classification systems, namely, the International Patent Classification, the Nice and Vienna Classifications for the registration of marks and the Locarno Classification for the registration of industrial designs.
The first part of the presentation will show the basic structure and purpose of the international mark and design classifications and explain briefly the main differences in classification criteria and the classification revision process.
The second part of the presentation will focus on WIPO search tools and will show some examples on how to use the classifications for searching marks and designs in WIPO international registries.

The IP research service patent team of the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI France) performs research on quotation for clients, public and private. They mainly include the study of prior art, novelty and patent monitoring. Nevertheless, new needs have appeared, and new services, called panoramas, had to be created in order to bring industrial property material to decision-maker, corporate staff, who desire to use patent information to get an overview of their environment.
With the increasing power of mapping and statistical tools, issues such as research collaborations, partnerships, licensing, technology dynamics, technological and geographical positioning, can be dealt with effectively. This presentation will focus on different graphical representations appropriated for decision-makers to optimise the knowledge of their market thanks to a previously unseen patent approach.
Nigel Spencer, British Library
The British Library Business and IP Centre (BIPC) opened in 2006 and since that time has assisted over 400 000 businesses. The BIPC has made extensive use of social media to raise awareness of services well as engaging with users and other service providers and stimulating discussion on a range of topics of interest through groups like our LinkedIn British Library Entrepreneur Network. We have also used our BIPCTV YouTube channel and our Innovation and Enterprise Blog to share valuable content. In this talk Nigel will share the BIPC experiences of using social media with a focus on learnings that have a practical application for PATLIBs.
Heiko Wongel
PATLIB centres are an important multiplier of patent information for the EPO.
The EPO is offering a number of services and events to PATLIB centres for increasing their knowledge in patent information matters.
Intensifying this relation can enable PATLIB centres to apply their growing expertise to a larger number of shared tasks, supporting our common mission to make patent information better understood and even more useful for the citizens of Europe.
