Before the Rockwell
tester, the File &
Wire mark was used
to indicate that the
hardness and
toughness of a blade
had passed the file
and wire test. The
test consisted of
cutting the edge

file to test the
hardness and then
tapping the blade
edge through a piece
of wire of a known
hardness to test the
toughness. If the
edge was not blunted
by the wire, it
passed the test and
was marked with
"File & Wire

This is a method of making steel by blowing finely divided powdered iron, carbon, and other materials into a billet and then applying heat and pressure until a steel is achieved with finer grain, finer carbides, therefore greater strength and better wear resistance.
The Swedes went on to invent a method of blowing the particles into patterns; the result is "Damasteel". It has the look of pattern welded Damascus yet is actually a superior, powder metal stainless tool steel.

For 800 years, the center of Japanese sword making has been located in almost the exact center of the main island of Japan. Seki City of Gifu Prefecture, about half way between Tokyo and Osaka, was blessed with local sources of iron sand and plenty of timber for charcoal.
The swords of Seki City have been highly valued from about 1200 AD until the present. The Japanese Katana, unknown to the west until about 1860, had by the 1920s grown a reputation of mythic proportions. It was widely believed that a Japanese Warrior of sufficient strength could, with a single blow, cut a machine gun barrel in half. It is true that Japanese swordsmanship was very advanced by the mid 19th Century, largely due to the suppression of firearms in Japan until that time. But the Samurai focus on the importance of the sword also had a major impact.
Today the katana is so highly prized that, while still made in Seki City, it is also made in Spain, Taiwan and Red China, as well as by makers of handmade swords all over the World.
A sword with a slightly curved blade, single edge with a short back edge, most often a sword for use mounted.
Blades ground half to two thirds from the edge to the back and the top front third of the blade with a strong false edge or swedge.

A finish that is not mirror polished; the lines from the fine abrasive gives a satin appearance.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Bill Scagel was virtually unknown to most of America's growing leigons of knife collectors. But Scagel has become a household word to knife collectors today. He was the first truly great knifemaker of the 20th century. It was a Scagel knife that inspired Randall to begin his knifemaking career and it was a handful of Scagel knives in the Randall Musuem that led collectors to begin searching out knives by this great pioneer. Most of Scagel's production is still out there in old trunks and gun cases, as "Granddad's old hunting knife".
In his book, For Knife Lovers Only, Harry McEvoy said "During his 90 years, Bill Scagel produced more real treasures in cutlery than most other knife crafters, before or since. His hunting knives enjoyed such a fabulous reputation that hunters literally beat a path to his door over a period of some 50 years to purchase,... those beautiful, functional, handcrafted Scagel blades."
To knife people the word scale refers to the handle parts on each side of a full tang hunting knife or the parts on the sides of a pocket knife or folder.

Copy Cataloging 2000/2001
- Staff changes: On December 21st 2000 Sandra Langston turned in a letter of resignation indicating she wanted to explore employment opportunities elsewhere. Sandras responsibilities included cataloging of Baldwin Library material when she began working in the unit but was eventually changed to primarily G-cat cataloging and Adds. A search was launched to replace Sandra and on February 2, 2001 the new unit SrLTA, Susan Constantineau began working with the Copy Cataloging Unit. Around September of 2000 Fern Collins replaced Sandra Langston as a member of the Baldwin NEH Grant Project Team splitting her time between Copy Cataloging and the Baldwin Grant Project. At the end of the fiscal year we were sorry to see a long time member of our team leave. Terri Smith was promoted to Archivist in the Database Maintenance Unit and began work there on June 22, 2001.
- New Workflow for Foreign Approvals: In September 2000 a new workflow was instituted for handling foreign approvals. Over a period of time a group of almost 4,000 Foreign Approvals had accumulated on the Monographs Unit shelves. After talks were held between Monographs and Copy Cataloging to come up with effective ways of moving these books through quicker. It was decided that the workflow could be streamlined by Monographs Unit staff (students)if they only searched LUIS for Adds and sent the rest of the material on to Copy Cataloging for OCLC searching and record transfer into LUIS. A new shelf area was set up in our area titled Foreign Approvals for the items that needed OCLC searching. Copy Cataloging student searchers search the material in OCLC and download the hits as IPNCs and create provisional records for the 0-OCLC items. This new processs streamlines the workflow since the amount of provisionals has been decreased drastically and IPNCs are a little quicker to do since they skip the extra step of adding the LUIS number to the OCLC record for each downloaded item.
- Improvements in RUSH searching: A problem arose where some items that were cataloged but not yet discharged were being overlooked on the processing shelves. When this happened the staff responsible for handling RUSH item would send a notice to Access Services staff indicating that the item had been cataloged and that it should be in their area. This caused Access Services to do futile searching in their area only to discover that the book had not arrived yet. To fix this problem Copy Cataloging staff agreed that the RUSH handlers would not send such a message unless the LTA Supervisor or Unit Head searched the shelves one last time to verify that the book could not be found there.
Continued Refinement of the In Process Tracking of Material: On and off throughout the year there has been communication with Access Services concerning the efficiency of the Tracking In Process Monographs. Rich Bennett was particularly concerned about the disposition of things that were overdue and not accounted for but that were not checked out to missing. Eventually Phek Su and Daniel Cromwell were invited to a PSSC meeting where a decision was made to increase the charge out period and to begin a more uniform handling of the overdue notices throughout the Branch and Main libraries.
- Retrospective Analytics Workflow Proposed: From time to time Collection Managers request that a Serial be analyzed but there had never been a workflow in place to accommodate these requests. A combined effort between Copy Cataloging, Contributed Cataloging, and Serials Cataloging was initiated to come up with a workflow for these requests. It was decided that the requests would be entered on a spreadsheet available on a Public Folder through MS Outlook. The Serials Acquisition Unit Head would forward the information to the Sr. LTA in Copy Cataloging assigned to work with the analytics requests (Susan Constantineau). Currently a workflow for the Copy Cataloging Unit Sr. LTA is being developed. It is anticipated that the some physical processing can be done in the stacks allowing the material to stay on the shelf through the process.
- Cataloging of Non Grant Baldwin Material: In May 2001 Rita Smith relinquished her cataloging duties to return full time as the Curator of the Baldwin Collection. It was decided that Susan Constantineau would be the principle cataloger of Baldwin non grant material that has copy. Rita estimates that she receives around 300 such titles per year.
- OPS Task Tracking: It was reaffirmed that we are to continue entering student OPS information in the task tracking software provided by Winston Harris of Systems. During the year meetings were held with Winston to discuss enhancements to the program, which were subsequently added. The software was set up on Douglas Smiths computer but unfortunately for much of the time technical problems kept him from being able to use it. Winston has come to look at the problems with the program on the computer and currently Doug is using the program successfully to add our student information.
- Dymo LabelWriter Printer Set Up in Processing: The Dymo, a low cost label printer, was acquired for the Processing area. Having such a printer has greatly increased flexibility and efficiency of RUSH label creation as well as printing troublesome labels such as those that are too long to be handled by the regular printer.
- OPS Allocation: Funding was a little short for our student assistants this year. By the end of the fiscal year it was necessary to do some allocation transfers to be able to maintain a reasonable number of students for searching and physical processing.
- CIP Enhance Project: During the month of May we began a trial for receiving enhanced CIPs from Yankee Book Peddler. We were quite pleased with the results but will be extended the trial paying close attention to unsupplied records and costs.
- New Processing Accountability Procedures: In late May a procedure was developed by Douglas Smith to add a measure of accountability to the students working in the Processing area. Each student is required to fill out a log sheet that is attached to each book truck destined for Circulations. Each book truck is numbered and Circulation staff can relay the pertinent information to Doug who can now tell which student did the work. Although this process is fairly new we have already seen some promising results.

Unit Statistics
Titles Cataloged: In contrast with last year we are once again on the increase in numbers of titles cataloged. The increase in cataloging follows the increase in titles received, this can be seen in the Distribution statistics below. It should also be noted that a significant portion of last years staff time was spent on the RS assessment activities and the planning stage of the RS move to accommodate the Digital Library Center relocation to the 2nd floor. Here is a comparison of titles cataloged over the past three years
1998/1999 1999/2000 2000/2001 Change over last yr.
Titles: 25879 22124 28428 +6304
Adds: 2847 1778 2625 +847
Vols: 29873 24801 32003 +7202
Incoming Items Statistics: As mentioned above the total number of items received were up over last year.
The Non-book figures are really surprising given the large drop off in 1999/2000 and the absolute turn around
of this past year. A three years comparison follows:
1998/1999 1999/2000 2000/2001 Change over last yr.
Monographs: 37827 34532 43208 +8676
Non-book* 8518 2139 12538 +10399
Adds: 3888 1050 2468 +1418
*Includes: CDs, Video-recordings, Microforms, etc.
Rush Processing Statistics: The amount of RUSH Requests was once again up following last years decrease. The percentage of those found to the total requested stayed the same however.
1998/1999 1999/2000 2000/2001 Change over last yr.
Requests: 526 289 483 +194
Found: 516 271 455 +184
% Found: 98 94 94 +0
Physical Processing: After the decrease last FY we now see an incredible increase in 2000/2001. This is quite an exceptional increase and can partially be explained by the increase overall in materials received, the RS move planning and assessment work of last year, and the fact that Microforms increased over 9,000 items.
1998/1999 1999/2000 2000/2001 Change over last yr.
Processing: 48281 42382 65498 +23116

InfoCision switches Gallipolis center to work-from-home
GALLIPOLIS -- InfoCision will consolidate its operations in Gallipolis and transition from a brick-and-mortar call center to a work-from-home operation.
Employees have been offered the opportunity to remain with the company and work from their homes or transfer to InfoCision's Huntington call center.
"For several years our Work at Home Program has been growing steadily, especially here in southern Ohio. It makes sense to transition to a work-from-home model," Steve Brubaker, InfoCision chief of staff, said in a press release. "Our employees are the best in the business, and we hope everyone chooses to stay with us. We will be assisting them with this transition in any way we can."
Employees who will transition to the Work at Home Program will maintain their current pay rate and benefits package.
"This virtual call center model positions us for future growth by allowing us to spread our reach throughout the region and provides employment opportunities to people who live a little too far away to drive to a physical location but are every bit as skilled as any employee in our brick and mortar call centers," Brubaker said in the release.
InfoCision reports that in the telemarketing industry, working from home has been a growing model for many years, and with advances in technology, it's a trend which will continue to grow as more people have access to high-speed internet and computers, especially in rural areas. Work at Home staff are InfoCision employees just like those in any of our call centers. They earn a regular paycheck, work a set weekly schedule and have opportunities for bonuses.
InfoCision's Gallipolis call center, located at 242 3rd St., employs 112. InfoCision has operated in Gallipolis since 2000.

3 plea bargains to end infamous child abuse case
One of New Jersey's most horrifying child abuse cases is expected to end today in a Newark courtroom, where prosecutors will ask a judge to approve plea bargains for three people charged in the death of 7-year-old Faheem Williams and the abuse of two of his brothers.
Faheem's mummified corpse was discovered hidden in a squalid Newark basement on Jan. 5, 2003. His twin and a 4-year-old brother also were found there the day before, alive but starving and filthy, and in dire need of medical care.
The deals, reached after months of negotiations, will spare the surviving brothers the ordeal of a trial, something the Essex County Prosecutor's Office said it wanted to avoid. Raheem Williams and his younger brother, Tyrone, remain in foster care. All of those charged in the case have been in jail for more than two years, unable to make bail.
Wesley Murphy, the Newark teenager who told police he accidentally killed Faheem while wrestling with him, will plead guilty to reckless manslaughter, said his attorney, Patricia Weston Rivera. His statement to police on Jan. 10, 2003, led to his arrest.
His mother, 43-year-old Sherry Murphy, a cousin of the children's mother, will plead guilty to kidnapping and child endangerment charges, said Clarence Jackson, a relative of the boys. It was in her apartment building that Faheem's remains were discovered, stuffed in a plastic bin and concealed in a closet that had been nailed shut.
Wesley Murphy will get a prison sentence of two to five years, while Sherry Murphy will receive a term of 15 to 25 years, said Jackson, who said he had been briefed by prosecutors.
A third plea bargain, meanwhile, is scheduled to be entered on behalf of Joseph Reese, 48, of Orange, a friend of Sherry Murphy's. He will admit sexually assaulting Raheem Williams and will be sentenced to 10 years, Jackson said.
Rivera said she will argue for a term that would allow her client to walk free in a matter of days. Wesley Murphy, now 19, initially was charged as a juvenile but later was transferred to adult court.
The teenager told authorities he hurt Faheem while demonstrating a wrestling move on the little boy during the fall of 2002. He left Faheem unconscious and gasping for air, the teen said, and told his mother what happened before running away. They were living in Irvington at the time.
"It's my anticipation the court will see the justice in permitting Mr. Murphy to be released on the basis of the time he has served," Rivera said yesterday. "He never thought he'd get in trouble for wrestling with a 7-year-old. They'd done it many times. Rough play is encouraged in the minority community. It makes you tough."
In the case, much of the past year has been spent exploring Wesley Murphy's state of mind when he spoke with police about hurting Faheem.
Psychological experts on both sides offered contrasting views about his mental capacity to understand. The prosecution claimed he was completely aware of what he was saying; the defense argued he was not because his education was limited, his brain function was injured, and his IQ was only around 70. No decision was ever made on that point.
Michael Marucci, a public defender who represents Sherry Murphy, had no comment on the plea arrangements.
It was her case, in recent weeks, that held up negotiations over the plea bargains, with authorities insisting she face a lengthy prison sentence. A judge had said the agreements were an acceptable way to resolve the cases, but wanted deals for all three charged.
Clarence Jackson said he believed Sherry Murphy was getting off light.
"If she was the adult in the home and this was her house, then how come she's not charged with this? You have a body with you from September until the following January and you don't get any blame at all?" he asked yesterday.
"As far as I'm concerned, you're as much to blame as your son," Jackson said. "If Sherry had gone before a jury, she would have gotten much more time than she's facing now."
Jackson, a New York resident, is a cousin of the boys' mother, Melinda Williams, and the legal guardian for another one of her sons.
Melinda Williams, 33, was never charged in the case. Earlier this year, she sued the state Division of Youth and Family Services and sought damages for not looking out for her children's welfare. The case has been assigned to a mediator, agency spokesman Andy Williams said.
Before Faheem's death, DYFS received a complaint that the Williams brothers were being physically abused. But a caseworker closed the case -- with her supervisor's consent -- without ever seeing the children.
Both Melinda Williams and Sherry Murphy were well-known to the agency.
Williams had her first baby when she was 16. She was charged with neglecting the child, who was put up for adoption. Williams had four more children, who spent much of their childhood being shuffled from apartment to apartment, and from one relative to another. DYFS also had investigated Murphy, a mother of five, for child neglect.
The grim chance discovery of the two boys in the basement, and Faheem's corpse, made news worldwide and sent seismic shocks through state government. The head of the New Jersey Department of Human Services declared a state of emergency and ordered DYFS caseworkers to check on the safety of every child on their caseloads.

We learned to night, if we had any doubt, that McCain is uninterested in and unwilling to pursue the Ayers-ACORN-Left associations. When he is most effective, he is arguing about the contrast between Senator Government and himself, contrasting Hoover and Reagan, if you will. It seems that this is where his heart is and that is the subject which frankly may get played through the media filter. Much as I think the history of Obama's affiliations are relevant and deeply important you can't force a candidate to do something he does not want to do.
So, in addition to making his case on the economy and tracking down and gaining the endorsement of Joe the Plumber, what can McCain do? Perhaps make an issue of Obama's credibility and extremism issue on Infants Born Alive, talk about judges and remind us it is a dangerous world. That's the best he can likely do at this stage.

The following incidents were obtained from Berkeley County Sheriff's Office reports:
• A deputy responded to an establishment in Cross on a recent night after receiving complaints of a suspect pointing a handgun at patrons. The deputy found the suspect, who had a holster containing a handgun in plain view. A dispatcher confirmed the suspect was a convicted felon and unable to possess a firearm.
The suspect was arrested without incident for unlawful possession of a firearm. He was taken to the detention center.
• A woman residing on Windwood Lane near Moncks Corner recently reported that an unknown subject cut open a lock on her garage and stole a dirt bike, two .22 rifles and a large amount of meat from the freezer.
The estimated total value of the missing items is $900.
• Six storage units and one pickup truck were broken into during a recent burglary at a storage facility off South Live Oak Drive. Items missing include a 12-gauge shotgun, a rifle, a chainsaw and five nail guns.
The total estimated value of the missing items is $2,400.
• A South Live Oak Drive resident found the side window of a building shattered and the back door open. The victim said the only item missing from the apparent burglary was his red Honda ATV, valued at $1,500.
The deputy observed damage indicating an apparent attempt to pry open the back door but the window was likely broken in order to gain access. The victim said several buildings in the area have been burglarized in the past few weeks.

KY Food Banks Day
By Dan Conti
Today is "Farms to Food Banks' Day in Kentucky and supporters of the program are encouraging taxpayers to assist the effort when they file their state returns this year. State Representative Wilson Stone of Allen County says, for the first time, there's a check-off on the Kentucky tax form that enables people to donate part or all of their refund to the program…
The "Farms to Food Banks" Program uses a trust fund through the Department of Agriculture to buy surplus produce from Kentucky farmers for the state's food banks. According to the Kentucky Association of Food Banks, the Commonwealth's soup kitchens, pantries and food banks provided 44-million meals to Kentucky residents last year.

Offerdahl'sRead Morefacet: Main type: Traditional locale: en_US title: Offerdahl's Cafe Grill facet_type_id: 4dbd4630-5f38-1032-be5d-03dbd9ab6699 html_text: |- For John Offerdahl, the aroma of meat sizzling on the grill stirs memories of his family's barbecues in rural Wisconsin. Even when John grew up and became a linebacker for the Miami Dolphins, he couldn't escape that enticing smell—it would waft into the stadium from fans tailgating outside and the mascots who secretly stuffed their costumes with cheeseburgers. So it was only natural that, after retiring from football, John would once again find himself at the grill when he and his wife Lynn opened Offerdahl's Cafe Grill in 2000. The couple were no strangers to the restaurant business; they had previously owned a chain of bagel shops. This venture, however, would prove more ambitious—they devised menus of classic American cuisine that could be served up fast for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with a focus on fresh-grilled fare. Today, Offerdahl's Cafe Grill has expanded to seven locations, but its flavorful, no-frills meals remain the same. "Johnny O's Famous Bagels" still take the starring roles during breakfast, waking diners up with flavors like cinnamon crumb, pumpernickel, and fruit-and-nut. But once breakfast turns to lunch and dinner, the grill takes over. Chefs swiftly cook up steak, chicken, and salmon, serving the proteins over rice, pasta, or salad with homemade dressings. They also grill chicken sandwiches and burgers, in a nod to the café's backyard barbecue roots.2400 N Federal Hwy.Lighthouse Point, FL US
Lito's Turf and SurfRead MoreDon Hoy's experience in the restaurant industry began at the early age of 13, when he took a job as a busboy at Dan Dowd's Steak House. With an unwavering determination to succeed and a perfectly shaped head for a chef hat, he quickly ascended the steak house's culinary ranks, later earning the title of head chef in the early '80s. In 1992, Don and his wife Joan pursued the dream of owning a restaurant by purchasing Landlubbers Raw Bar and Grill, which would later become Lito's Turf and Surf. The husband and wife team do not work alone, however, enlisting their three sons to help cook, work the line, and carve new recipes into the family tree. Lito's Turf and Surf brings together some of the tastiest offerings of both land and sea in a menu anchored by Maryland crab cakes, grilled lobster tail, brawny Angus burgers, and succulent prime rib. From the restaurant's tan leather booths, diners can direct their gaze toward flat-screen TVs showing national and college sports and toast glasses of craft brews and wine every time football players perform bone-crushing tackles or synchronized flash-mob routines in the end zone.2460 N Federal HwyLighthouse Point, FL US
Awaken YogaRead MoreThe thermostat at Awaken Yoga pumps out the heat, sending out waves of warmth to melt tension and toxins. In the balmy climate, Awaken Yoga instructors lead classes designed to burn fat, dilate capillaries, boost metabolism, and soothe muscular tension for a greater range of motion. They introduce fundamental flows in warm yoga and a challenging blend of sun salutations and choreography during hot Vinyasa classes, as well as lead a slew of other sessions designed for everyone from beginners to seasoned yogis. Early-morning Rise & Flow classes get students geared up for daily activities such as lifting boxes, sitting at a desk, or filling in for a Picasso sculpture at the local museum.2032 NE 36th StPompano Beach, FL US
Glacier Ice and Snow ArenaRead MoreA frigid oasis amid Pompano Beach's tropical heat, Glacier Ice and Snow Arena hosts everything from public ice-skating to snowball competitions within its 40,000-square foot facility. Throughout the week, skaters of all ages share the arena with programs such as the Sharpshooters Hockey Club, birthday parties, and weekly lessons. A fully stocked pro shop proffers equipment for various styles and sizes, and a snack bar keeps visitors energized with soda, pizza, and popcorn, at least until the ice fishermen manage to reel anything in from their hole in the center of the rink.4601 N Federal Hwy.Lighthouse Point, FL US
Casa Del Sol Tanning SpaRead MoreAn airbrush artist hand sprays an organic solution that leaves skin tan for up to 10 days. Nearby, standup and lie-down tanning booths shine at five different levels, making it possible for clients of all skin types and tones to achieve the hue they desire. The activity at Casa Del Sol Tanning Spa fulfills the vision of owners Joshua and Jacki, avid tanners whose high-end equipment and lotions befit a boutique-like space complete with satin drapery and no parrots screeching lewd jokes.2416 North Federal HighwayLighthouse Point, FL US

Carat. Cut. Clarity. Color. The four Cs of a diamond are important, but none are as important as the fifth C: Conflict.
Bergstrom Jewelers guarantees that our diamonds are conflict-free. That means no one was compromised or hurt in any way for the diamonds that we sell. We demand from ALL of our diamond suppliers that diamonds delivered to Bergstrom Jewelers have been purchased through legitimate, "Conflict Free" sources. A written warranty is required for every individual diamond shipment.
In a global business like jewelry, we feel that our commitment to community extends to the world community.
What is Bergstrom Jewelers' policy regarding "conflict diamonds"?
We have a zero tolerance policy. That means we will not knowingly offer conflict diamonds for sale. So that we can ensure this, a written warranty is required for every individual diamond shipment.
What is the jewelry industry doing to ensure that "Conflict Diamonds"
are not entering the country?
Many jewelry organizations and more than 75 countries have agreed to the Kimberley Process —
a certification that requires each shipment of rough diamonds be in a tamper resistant container
and accompanied by a government validated certificate. Any country declining to participate is
effectively barred from the international diamond trade.
