Do you have a news item for us? Let us know!
Keeping NH Awesome!
New Hampshire's largest newspaper, The Union Leader does a write up about the state of the Free State Project, and the positive influences the influx of Free Staters are having on the Granite State.
From the article: "Some of those movers will be at the Liberty Forum, which opens today in Manchester, checking out the state and deciding whether this is the place for them. As most Granite Staters have done (more than half the population was born outside the state), they are likely to decide that it is. And who can blame them?
Gericke says that even if only a few thousand Free Staters move here, 'with the mindset and the energy we can still keep New Hampshire awesome.' The State of New Hampshire has hired professional marketers to come up with slogans that will attract tourists. Gericke came up with one on her own that carries more punch than any of the pricey state gimmicks: 'Keep New Hampshire awesome.'
Yes, let's."

"Tour NH" Kicks Off in Portsmouth
Shire Liberty News, one of the many excellent independent media outlets created by Porcupines, covers the Portsmouth kick-off of the self-guided, statewide tours being offered prior to Liberty Forum, which starts on Thursday, March 5. The goal of "Tour NH" is to showcase different regions and Porcupine communities within New Hampshire to prospective FSP signers and movers. Click here for a schedule of the remaining tours.
"Following the tour, the Praxeum hosted a cocktail party for Liberty Forum attendees. The Praxeum is a flexible use space for liberty oriented people which opened last September. Similar venues have opened in Manchester and Keene, and a new one is under construction in Concord. The existence of physical social clubs throughout the state, owned and operated by libertarians, is one of the many things that makes New Hampshire unique." Read more at Shire Liberty News. More...

Debate Over Bitcoin Payments for Taxes and Fees
CoinDesk covers the recent testimony at New Hampshire's legislative hearings about whether the state should accept Bitcoin for payment of taxes and fees.
Says early mover, and the bipartisan bill's primary sponsor, Eric Schleien: "If New Hampshire can lead the way in the primary process, and we can lead in other ways, why don't we lead the way to being the first state to actually implement a process? It's going to happen, all 50 states are going to do this. Why don't we be the first?" Read more here.

Police Militarization Reform Bill Advances in New Hampshire
Remember when the Concord Police Department fraudulently called Free Staters a domestic terrorist threat? Remember when the Concord Police apologized and amended their grant application? Now, a bill to reduce the militarization of police has advanced from the New Hampshire House to the New Hampshire Senate.
On February 18th New Hampshire Rep. Hoell's HB 407 as amended advanced to the Senate. HB 407 is a repeat of Rep. Hoell's bill from last session, HB 1307 failed in the NH House last year. However, the bill made national news, leading to the creation of similar bills in MT, TN, and a much more narrow federal bill.
The idea of police militarization reform legislation was inspired by the coalition of liberal activists and Free Staters that attempted to convince the Keene and Concord, New Hampshire city councils to vote against acquiring Department of Homeland Security BEARCATs. While Rep. Hoell is neither a liberal nor a Free Stater, he decided to lead the national legislative effort to bring about reform. The tragedies of Ferguson, Missouri further intensified the issue. Unfortunately, opposition to BEARCATs didn't pick up much steam outside of NH and the University of Berkeley. Instead, critics were mostly concerned about a different federal program that distributed much larger military vehicles called MRAPs to local governments. More...
NH is Best Case, One Chart
Nothing like running across an article entitled: "The Case for Moving to New Hampshire, In One Chart." Boom, my work here is done! From the article, which can be read at Vox: "The OECD — a club of various rich, developed countries — recently unveiled a new dataset on well-being across the world, which they measure holistically, taking into account everything from the murder rates to unemployment levels to broadband access. Conveniently, they broke the numbers down not just by nation but by region. Adam Carstens conveniently graphed the US state data. New Hampshire comes out on top, followed by Minnesota and Vermont."

Libertarianism: Bow Ties & Slam Poetry
Bloomberg covers last weekend's International Students for Liberty conference in DC. In the lengthy article, "Bow Ties and Slam Poetry: This Is Libertarianism in 2015," the Free State Project and PorcFest get a mention (which is great considering the FSP pioneered many of the "cool" things heralded in the article): "In recent years, as the duo of Ron and Rand Paul spread the libertarian gospel into Republican politics, reporters have noticed sub-cultures like New Hampshire's Free State Project and its annual PORCfest, a 'libertarian Burning Man' where Bitcoin and silver pieces are preferred to 'fiat currency.'"

Who Represents the Minority?
Early mover, Conan Salada weighs in on the question of "representative government" after a small group of fiscally responsible residents went head-to-head with the tax hungry education industry at a deliberative session last weekend. From Salada's LTE: "As was expected, they were completely outnumbered, ridiculed and ultimately silenced. School board member Susan Hay summed up the proceedings perfectly, 'We don't need a very small minority of people in this community — that do not in any way represent the will of the people — telling us how to do our job.' This brings up a very important question. Who, then, represents me? If I have no voice because the powers that be disagree or outright refuse to hear me, why then should I be forced to pay into such an institution? What happened to deriving their powers from the consent of the governed? Well, I officially renounce the consent I never swore to in the first place. More...

ItsLikeThisToo - Ep 13 - Mike Vine
Mike Vine got involved with the liberty movement at age thirteen after looking into third parties for a school project and deciding libertarianism was the one for him. In August 2011, Mike and his wife moved from Manhattan to NH. New York was increasingly failing to offer things they wanted in their lives, such as independent businesses and the ability for him to start his business, Centinel Consulting. A primarily liberty-oriented business, Mike is essentially able to be a "professional libertarian," writing about Austrian Economics and alternative investments, such as gold and silver. In this video, Mike expands on the latest project he is working on - The Praxeum, a flexible use space for the liberty community that has a co-working aspect, as well as a venue for community meetings, such as homeschooling meetups, an Austrian study group, and more.
Based in New Hampshire, movers of the Free State Project are putting into practice a slew of tactics in an effort to advance liberty, and be part of a productive, harmonious, and, most importantly, voluntary community. More...
NH: Breaking Ground for Bitcoin
Says NH Magazine: "New Hampshire is out in front again — this time in a 'revolution' in how we pay for things. And helping to lead the change is Manchester resident Zach Harvey. Two years ago, he and his brother Josh created an ATM for Bitcoin, an increasingly accepted alternative currency that is strictly digital." Brothers Zach and Josh Harvey are FSP early movers. Check out this interview with Zach produced by other early movers for the "It's Like This Too" series for Voices of Liberty. The New Yorker covered Zach and the Bitcoin ATM last year during the FSP's winter conference Liberty Forum. More...

Early Mover Inspires Ska-Punk Band
California-based ska band Warehouse One released a new track called "Victimless Crime Spree." In a tweet, the band says: "Title stolen from/inspired by @derrickjme." Derrick J is an FSP early mover who starred in the embedded documentary about his activism in Keene, NH. Whether you love the movie or not, Derrick's actions and film inspired others to make protest art, and this is a good thing. As Aldous Huxley, author of A Brave New World, states at the start of "Derrick J's Victimless Crime Spree": "The... creative life of man is ultimately impossible without a considerable measure of individual freedom." To listen to Warehouse One's new track, which calls out the emerging police state (NSFW), and to read more, visit The Free Thought Project.
Packing Heat: Not Just for Men
There is a growing trend in New Hampshire: More women are learning to shoot and arming themselves. "When the government started talking about gun control," said Dan Gebers, president of the Major Waldron Sportsmen's Association and a Dover police officer, "There was a major influx in [female] membership, young and old." Several FSP early movers, and founding members of the Women's Defense League of New Hampshire, are quoted in the Seacoast Online article. Photo credit: Foster's Daily Democrat front page. (They ran a story about this trend over the weekend as well.)

Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover
This awful catastrophe reminds us that we should view people as people, and not as colors, religions, or stereotypes.
One of my earliest law school memories did not occur inside the lecture halls, but instead was a passing meeting in the hallway. I recall noticing a classmate's turban, beard, and dark complexion, and thinking, "terrorist." Soon thereafter, when Amardeep Singh and I became good friends, I learned he was a Sikh (and definitely not a terrorist). My initial reaction to seeing Amar for the first time embarrasses me to this day.
When I heard the news on Sunday about the tragedy in Wisconsin, I immediately thought of my old friend, who, after law school, co-founded the Sikh Coalition and currently serves as its National Director of Programs. Earlier this week, The Guardian ran a poignant piece written by Amar, entitled The post 9/11 prejudice that menaces American Sikhs. This is part of what he said:
Fed a steady diet of Bin Laden and Taliban images, most Americans simply associate the turban, which Sikh men wear as an expression of faith, with terrorism. Turban equals terrorist in the minds of too many.
In part, Sikh Americans are collateral damage of a modern climate that rarely has time for explanations of our culture, our heritage, and our beliefs. This enduring legacy of 9/11 continues to stubbornly attach itself to our community. Not only do many people not know of the peaceful beliefs of our faith, but they wrongly associate us with acts of unspeakable terrorism….
We all deserve to live in a society where no one need fear violent attack—whether at a temple, mosque, synagogue or church—simply because of our ethnic and religious identity.
As a society (especially one that calls itself a melting pot), we should not need an excuse to confront our own biases and prejudices. This awful catastrophe reminds us that we should view people as people, and not as colors, religions, or stereotypes.

Sarah Palin: Rogue, not Rouge.
by Meredith O'Brien
As a girl, she was a self-described nerd of a bookworm who played the flute and basketball. After graduating from college, she married her high school sweetheart and started working two jobs, one at a customer service desk and another at the local TV station part-time. A year later, she had the first of five children — with two miscarriages in between — then went on to work as a part-time proofreader for the local newspaper and pen sports columns. In between her work and her kids' activities, the PTA member was recruited by a local pol to run for city council, a post for which she campaigned by bringing her children along with her as she knocked on doors, pulling her kids in a sled.
She became the embodiment of the modern working mother in City Hall, bringing her baby with her to council meetings, even breastfeeding during a radio interview so the baby wouldn't cry. When she decided to run for mayor, she was told there were three reasons she'd never win: Her gender, her age (32 at the time) and her three children (even though the incumbent mayor, a man, had four children). She became pregnant with baby number four during her tenure as mayor and brought her newborn to City Hall with her the day after she gave birth just to check in on the city's business.
Time and again, she was told she didn't have what it takes to make it in politics. During her re-election bid for mayor, the man who she'd already bested ran against her again, deriding the former hoop player as a "cheerleader" and a "Spice Girl." After beating that guy again, she later ran for lieutenant governor and lost, though she used it as a learning experience, forging ahead and having a fifth child after she got herself elected as her state's first female governor, months before being tapped to be her political party's first female vice presidential candidate. She was the one who had to change her baby's diaper just before going on live TV to make a speech to the GOP nominating convention.
Sarah Palin — whose life story she related in her new memoir — makes people a wee bit crazy. On one end of the political spectrum, she's adored by her fans as an effervescent conservative spokeswoman, a spit-fire who doesn't shy away from a fight. On the other end, she's chastised as a dimwitted gaffe machine whose politics people despise. And then there are others who believe that the only reason she's now a household name is because she's a fortysomething, attractive, charismatic female with young children . . . very similar to the reasons an old male pol told her she'd never become mayor of her hometown.
Thank you for such an unbiased, thought-provoking post. As much as I'd like to see fair and equal treatment for women in politics and otherwise, it is nearly impossible for me to imagine a world where personal choices are actually honored. The very same women who will fight at the top of their lungs for the right to abortion won't hesitate to degrade a woman who chooses to stay home with her kids. Those women who stay home with their kids will stomp all over the moms who leave the house every day. Organizations who spend many pages of written word degrading moms who work outside the home championed Palin, a decidedly working mom, as the answer to all the country's problems. While I certainly have my own opinions about politics, raising children, and the like, I cannot tolerate the double-standard promoted by women themselves. I admire women like Clinton and Palin who attempt to forge through the jungle that is American society, but the "no-matter-what-you-do-it's-wrong" treatment they've received makes me swear I'd never try to follow in their footsteps.
Amen, Meredith. Thank you for such a well thought out post. During the presidential primaries, I thought Hilary Clinton was horribly mistreated by the media in particular. I thought the bias against her had everything to do with her sex. Then, enter Palin -- same thing, only this time I thought there were more women jumping on to the pile up. I walked away thinking that who needs sexist men, when you have lots of women looking to throw other women under the bus. Clearly we are treated as second class citizens in spite of all the progress that has been made, and unfortunately women do not stand united on this. No, it became a political issue -- as to whether or not Clinton or Palin's politics were agreeable. Women should demand fair and equal treatment for all women regardless of party, politics or beliefs. To do otherwise reduces us to the catty "b" word, as men like to call us.

Country star Blake Shelton based the storyline for his new music video on real-life events after nearly burning down his own home twice while attempting to pull off romantic gestures for his wife Miranda Lambert.
The video for "Doin' What She Likes" features the singer lighting candles all over his house and scattering rose petals on the floor for a night of passion, but his plans are ruined when one of the flames sparks a fire.
Shelton admits he didn't have to brainstorm too much to come up with the promo's plot.
He says, "There's some truth to that video, because I have actually set our property on fire two different times trying to do like, a good thing, and turns out to be several hundred acres (burning down)… One time it took three days to put the fire out…"
Shelton, who wed fellow musician Lambert in 2011, failed to share further details about the blazes, but insists they never got him in trouble with local police in their hometown of Tishomingo, Oklahoma.
He adds, "It's my land, they don't care."
The song and its video have already proved hugely popular – Shelton broken chart records in America this week by scoring his 11th No. 1 on the Billboard Country Airplay countdown.

Murray wins Wimbledon, beats Djokovic in 3 sets
nepal From the lawns of Wimbledon to the lochs of Scotland, all of Britain can celebrate.
Andy Murray made it possible Sunday, winning his country's hallowed tennis tournament to become the first British man in 77 years to raise the trophy at the All England Club.
Yes, this was history, and Murray's 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 victory over top-seeded Novak Djokovic was a fitting close to nearly eight decades of British frustration in its own backyard: A straight-setter, yes, but a hard-fought, 3-hour, 9-minute affair filled with long, punishing rallies and a final game that may have felt like another 77 years, with Murray squandering three match points before finally putting it away after four deuces.
Certainly, the endgame must have felt like torture to the 15,000 watching on Centre Court, the thousands more watching on a big-screen TV on the grounds and, of course, the millions of British watching on TV.
"Imagine playing it," Murray said in his on-court interview.
But he closed it out on this cloudless, 80-degree day on tennis' most famous court. He put his name beside that of Fred Perry, the last British man to win Wimbledon, back in 1936.
Those words don't have to be written again.
"He's someone that I've obviously never met, but is quite relevant in my career really," Murray said.
The second-seeded Murray beat the best in Djokovic - top-ranked and a six-time Grand Slam tournament winner known for both a mental and physical fitness built to handle what he faced Sunday: A crowd full of overheated partisans rooting against him, to say nothing of Murray himself.
"The atmosphere was incredible for him. For me, not so much, but this is what I expected," Djokovic said.
Since falling to Roger Federer in the final last year, Murray had shed some baggage by winning the Olympic gold medal on Centre Court, then following that with his first Grand Slam title at the U.S. Open.
The U.S. Open win ended a 76-year drought for the British in the Grand Slams.
This one? Even sweeter.
"The pinnacle of tennis," Murray called the Wimbledon win. "I worked so hard in that last game, the hardest few points I ever played in my life."
When he finally wrapped it up, he let his racket fall to the turf, took his hat off and pumped his fist toward the crowd. Later, he climbed to the guest box where his girlfriend, Kim Sears, and his coach, Ivan Lendl, were among those sweating this one out.
Born a week apart in May 1987 - Djokovic in Belgrade when it was part of Yugoslavia, and Murray in Glasgow, Scotland - these top two players came up together through the elite junior-tennis ranks and are now building the best tennis rivalry of the 2010s. This was their third meeting in the last four Grand Slam finals and all have been riveting affairs. Murray won a five-setter at the U.S. Open; Djokovic won in four at Australia; and this time, a three-setter at Wimbledon that felt like something more.
Djokovic went up a break in both the second and third sets and, both times, appeared to have wrested at least a bit of control and quieted a crowd that included Prime Minister David Cameron.
But Murray dug his way out both times. In the second set, he set up break point with a sharply angled forehand that Djokovic couldn't handle, and the Serb responded with a double-fault, one of four on the day.
In the third set, Murray lost four straight games to fall behind 4-2, but got the break back and - eventually - closed it out by winning the last four games as the roars from every corner of Centre Court grew louder.

Dear Editor:
Thank you for the story (Nov. 23) "Hard to believe, but retail catalogues are fewer this year."
Although some customers apparently still find these catalogues useful, most people have access to the Internet and to websites that have all the information they can possibly want.
Needless to say, there are a number of reasons why a person might want to opt out of junk mail. First, it helps the environment as it reduces waste. Removing your name from mailing lists also protects your privacy and it eliminates the junk mail from your mailbox.
And the solution to eliminating junk mail could not be easier for people with access to the Internet: CatalogChoice.Org. It is a free service (although donations are accepted), and it works like a charm.

Serena Williams was spotted in the security line at LAX recently with on-again, off-again, whatever-again boy toy Common. The 10-time Grand Slammer stopped by the Tonight Show with Jay Leno while on the West Coast last week.
I mean, SERIOUSLY - didn't they supposedly just break up their non-relationship? I've become so confused about these two that I've now decided to call a spade a spade: these two are just good friends with great benefits.
We've all had them (fine - a lot) and ReRe and Common have all the makings of this type of relationship: lots of hanging out and playing together but no commitments and a total denial of any relationship.
It's like an advanced level booty call. So enjoy guys.
PS - Thanks Maja!

"advanced booty call" ahahahahaha...... common is a looker!ReplyDelete
lol Advanced level booty call Rich? Ha!! I just think they want a relationship without everyone in their business so they deny it so the questions can't be asked. Good for them. Serena for all of her dramatics doesn't seem the type to have her personal business on display, neither does he for that matter.ReplyDelete
Besides, I don't think I'd take a booty call with me to Paris to watch me work. Just saying.
butter: oh he's def a looker and a really good artist IMO.ReplyDelete
pamela: that's why it's an "advanced level booty call". it's celeb-style: they can fly theirs anywhere to watch them do anything. they're traveling with their benefits - unlike myself.
*wears sad face at thought of average level booty callssss*
Rich: I learn something new every day. I'll have to work that into my conversation with my boyfriend tonight at dinner.ReplyDelete
"So babe, what do you think of high level booty calls?" Yeah, that will spark conversation. lol

*deletes therapist's number from phone*
anon: LOL strangely enough it looks like a face with his man-boobs (moobs?) as the eyes. OMG - i'm freaking out!
Ewww! Rich! I went back to look at the man-boob face and I lost my lunch. That's gross and ridiculously creepy. EWWW!ReplyDelete
*calls therapist*
*continues to freak out*
Ohh...I'll always have something missing from my life now that I know advanced-level booty calls exist.ReplyDelete
But I refuse to look at his moobs. I just ate...

You guys are missing the print out of his ABS in that 3rd picture and only focusing on the man-boobs. If his ABS are so well defined and showing through a thick wool sweater, think of how they will look when he works out for 5 minutes.ReplyDelete
The overall package is ok, so the man-boobs don't figure much to me.
Anon it's his "well defined" abs that form the mouth of the face Rich described. Oh crap, there goes my breakfast.ReplyDelete

President Barack Obama has arrived at the Capitol for the beginning of inauguration ceremonies.
Obama is taking part in a public swearing in, giving his second inaugural address, then dining with members of Congress and other VIPs during events at the Capitol. Obama was sworn in a much lower-key event Sunday, in accordance with the Constitution, which sets Jan. 20 as the beginning of a presidential term.
Earlier in the morning, Obama and Vice President Joe Biden attended church and had coffee with congressional leaders.

This week, no questions necessary
(Page 2 of 2)
Do I rebuild or replace my house, and do I lift it or leave it? If you saw flooding in your home, understand that this won't be the last flood. I regularly examine soil boring reports, and note that the groundwater from new reports, compared with the same property from 1985, is 2 to 3 feet higher.
Floodwaters don't just travel across the surface; they saturate down to the water table. The higher the water table, the faster the saturation, and the greater the pressure on slabs below the house. I inspected many homes with slabs that cracked like eggshells. This kind of force is real, and not to be ignored. Gear up to lift the house, if you can. If not, change the use of lower spaces so that your most valuable belongings can be easily saved.
More to come. Good luck!

Image via Esquire
The apartment building, currently under construction near the High Line in Chelsea, was designed by prestigious architect Zaha Hadid. The building's futuristic design holds no resemblance to the mid-century aesthetic of Mad Men, but naming the apartment after the show's lead character appears to be universally accepted shorthand for "stylish." The 6,391-square-foot apartment boasts five bedrooms and a balcony. But most impressive is the extensive 2,297-square-foot deck – ideal for getting your tan on during the day and hosting cocktail parties with an impressive view at night.

Silver Spring, MD—The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is cracking down on companies selling over-the-counter (OTC) HCG as weight-loss aids by making the product illegal, citing that fads and diets promising fast weight-loss often do so with unsupported claims and potentially unhealthy ways.
Harvests of maize, rice and wheat, the three leading grain crops in the world, last year came in at levels below those of 2008, marking an overall dip in production. While both maize and rice set record production highs, the dramatic drop-off in wheat production left the total for all three lower, according to research found in Vital Signs Online, a publication of the Worldwatch Institute.
Savannah, GA—The National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), the policy recommendation body for the National Organic Program (NOP), decided on several organic food issues at its most recent meeting, including sulfites in wine, outdoor access for poultry and, controversially, DHA algal oil and ARA fungal oil as organic additives. The move to allow Martek Biosciences Corporation's branded life'sDHA ingredient, derived from algae, and life'sARA, from a species of fungus, in certified organic food products was met with some criticism.

How do you create an effective end cap? Here are a few tips.
1. An end cap is promotional, so you should refresh it at least once per month.
2. Pick your theme first, like "Heart Health Month" for February.
3. Use a visual design concept based on the theme, such as pink hearts, to increase "wow" factor.
4. Less is more. Select fewer products, and stock them deeper than usual.
The organic food industry should be on alert for five fraudulent organic certificates circulating in the market, according to the USDA's National Organic Program (NOP). The certificates falsely represent a slew of products from producers in various countries, including blueberries, cranberries and other berries from Russia; green coffee, green tea and hot chocolate from China; bell peppers and tomatoes from the Dominican Republic; several products including honey, teas, seeds and spices from Kuwait; and various other vegetables from another Chinese company.

Speaker Omer Reingold
Duration 01:02:42
Date recorded 17 November 2010
One-way functions are the most basic, unstructured form of cryptographic hardness. Yet in a sequence of celebrated results (mostly in the eighties and early nineties), one-way functions were shown to imply a rich collection of cryptographic schemes and protocols (such as digital signatures and secret-key encryption). At the basis of this beautiful mathematical structure, are a few constructions of basic primitives: pseudorandom generators [Hastad-Impagliazzo-Levin-Luby '91], universal one-way hash functions [Naor-Yung '89, Rompel '90], and more recently statistically hiding commitments and statistical zero-knowledge arguments [Haitner-Nguyen-Ong-Reingold-Vadhan '06 & '07]. In all three cases, turning raw hardness into a much more exploitable cryptographic object requires some very elaborate constructions and proofs.
In this talk we will try to hint on how one-way functions naturally contain a basic form of each of these objects. The talk will be influenced by a recent line of results, simplifying and improving all of these constructions. The crux of each new construction is defining the "right" notion of computational entropy and recovering this form of entropy from one-way functions.
Based on several works with (subsets of) Iftach Haitner, Thomas Holenstein, Salil Vadhan and Hoteck Wee.

Logistics technology: ARC says 2009 was a tough year for WMS sector
According to Steve Banker, Service Director for Supply Chain Management at the ARC Advisory Group, and the principal author of ARC's "Warehouse Management Systems Worldwide Outlook Study", "The market has lost five years of market growth. The global 2005 WMS market was bigger than the market in 2009."
July 06, 2010
The damage the global recession inflicted in the Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) marketplace in 2009 was severe to say the least, according to an analysis from ARC Advisory Group.
ARC said that the initial signs of the recession for the WMS market were evident in 2007 and 2008 saw market revenues decline slightly year-over-year. But with implementations taking several months sometimes, ARC explained that backlog projects protected suppliers' 2008 revenues until the backlog dried up in 2009, which made for a trying year in the WMS sector.
What's more, these factors lessened the prospects of any meaningful WMS industry consolidation, which many analysts thought was likely in the past.
ARC Service Director for Supply Chain Management Steve Banker told LM that the with consolidation not occurring maintenance revenue streams protected companies during that time and companies also took steps to downsize and cut salaries to stay solvent.
While WMS had a tough time in 2009, the SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) segment, which is comprised of services packaged as part of a leasing model and are hosted online, continued to grow at a double-digit pace from a small base, according to ARC and Banker.
Banker said this is mainly happening with "small companies that never would have bought WMS in the past because it was too expensive."
As for the future, ARC said that uncertainty is the prevailing theme. To regain the traction that was lost in the WMS Market in 2009, Banker said avoiding a double-dip recession is the key.

The Amsoil Great American Circle Track Tour - Ultimate RacingWritten by on June 4, 2010 Moving Right Along-We Are Learning Fast
The AMSOIL Great American Circle Track Tour is on the road and we have visited three racetracks in two weeks. It's important to state, up front, our goals with this tour. We are, first of all, a technical magazine dedicated to helping racers set up their cars for both chassis and motor technology. That being said, we don't "cover" races as such. There are plenty of regional publications that you can refer to that will tell you the winners, finishing orders and how the races were run. The technical aspect of CT is what differentiates us from the others.
What we also do is keep our fingers on the pulse and monitor the health of the industry. This is important in the overall scheme of things because it has a bearing on the success of the sport as well as the long-term survivability for all of us. It's this area that we'll be concentrating on in addition to reporting on the technical trends we see as we traverse the Southeast and ultimately the entire country.
So, what we hope to end up with is an overall look at the technical aspects of racing and a measure of how it stands up in the promotional areas, how the different classes are arranged, and a note about the progression of the class structure compared to years past.
We, being my wife, Karen, and I, recently visited Lanier National Speedway in Braselton, Georgia; Tri-County Speedway in Hudson, North Carolina; and then on up to Lonesome Pine Raceway in Coeburn, Virginia. All three of these tracks are asphalt, and we will be getting to more dirt tracks as we proceed along on this tour. I think overall, the dirt tracks are generally healthier than the asphalt tracks in a lot of ways. We shall see.
Along those lines, on the Lanier website, there was a questionnaire asking should the track be turned into a dirt track? It was, by the admission of the owner, a hoax of sorts, but came complete with a large piece of earth-moving equipment parked next to the entrance sign as a message. The intent was to spark a reaction from both the fans and competitors to motivate them to action. The message: Support this track or see it go away.
I'm not convinced that this type of "encouragement" is going to work to improve attendance or support, but there are ways to bring attention to the tracks that will bring the masses. And that is part of why we do this. Here are some areas we will be looking at and have already studied. I'll lump together the three tracks somewhat in these discussions.
Attendance-Front Gate At Lanier, we had Easter Sunday the next day and many families opted to stay home. So, as could be expected, the stands were mostly empty with approximately 300-350 fans in attendance. But the owner did the best that could be expected and entertained the kids with an Easter egg hunt, divided into two age groups to separate the pre-teens from the smaller kids for safety's sake.
Tri-County did somewhat better at the front gate, but not by much. We saw maybe 400-500 in attendance, but not nearly the level of interaction with the crowd as we had seen at Lanier. Lonesome Pine had more fans attending, but not nearly a full crowd by any means, and this is something we see across the board for the most part.
As the rural areas become more urbanized, there become more choices for family entertainment for the residents, whereas when the tracks were situated away from densely populated areas, racing was the only show around. It's still this way in some areas.
Car Counts On a combined level, the car counts were fairly high. There was a reason for this that will be discussed next. What a track likes to see are four or five divisions with 15 to 20 cars per. For these three tracks, some divisions were low in attendance and some were high.
The traditional upper classes were short on attendance and noting the struggling economy, we can make an educated guess why. Late Model racing is expensive. A team will normally spend upwards of $50,000 to $100,000 or more per season. In days past, those numbers were manageable by teams owned or supported by successful businesses with large cash flows where money was diverted for "advertising" to the team.
Many of these racing support businesses were, and are, related to construction. Now that the whole of the construction industry business is down across the country, we see a dip in the participation in these high-end classes, as could be expected.
Class Makeup The classes we have seen running are not "normal" as we look back at the last 10 years or so. As stated above, the higher-end classes are down, but the numbers have been replaced by what used to be called entry-level classes. We seldom, if ever, saw classes such as the Legends cars and Bandolaros run on a Friday or Saturday night along with the stock cars. Well, they do now.
We see more and varied four-cylinder classes, Legends cars, upwards of 20 or more per event, and some truck classes. Where we saw three different fullsized stock car divisions we now see one or two, at best.
Combined classes are becoming more common. Tracks are letting the Limited Late Model cars run with the Full Late Models cars in the traditional NASCAR-style Late Model stock divisions. And the engine rules have been combined to where the crate motor cars can run with the built motor cars. This move, in and of itself, has helped to maintain decent numbers of entries for the top division and serves to solve the crate verses built debate.
It's interesting to note that the competition among the Legends cars is at least as good as any other class, and in some cases better. As I watched these guys compete, I was impressed with their level of driving skills. It's the intent of the track owners that someday these teams will move on to the stock cars, and some do.
Promotions It's hard to evaluate the level of promotion outside the event in the week and weeks prior to the race. Most of the tracks had local radio stations in attendance, and there is a cross promotion going on. The tracks support the station and in return, the station promotes the races with announcements during the week prior to the race.
Many of the track announcers are radio personalities and they do a very good job of keeping the fans interested and entertained. All of them announced our attendance repeatedly and spoke of the details of the Tour.
Overall, we see families come to the races with kids in tow. Sure, Dad drives this effort, but if we can provide things to do for the other members of the family, then everyone will want to come back next week. Mothers love it when their kids are happy. Lanier had a large and modern playground for the kids. When they tired of watching the cars go round, they went and played. Without this diversion, it would be necessary to leave and go home.
This track also had a shorty school bus all fixed up with flashing lights and an "ah-oo-ga" horn. It loaded up the kids and drove around the track prior to the start of each race. You could see the excitement on the faces of the kids, both girls and boys, as they rode around. It was great for the youngsters and it gave Mom and Dad a few moments to rest and be together. That's gold.
Technical Aspects Many tracks are going with 8-inch tires for their top divisions. This is both an economical move as well as a tool for equalizing the teams when combining engine rules. Having a higher horsepower engine does one little good if the tires won't support the power.
On the setup side, we saw tracks where the surface bumps necessitated using stiffer springs on what would otherwise have been soft springs and big sway bar setups. I've seen this before at Watermelon Speedway in Georgia. Teams showed up with super soft springs running on bumpers only to find that the bumps in the track upset the cars so much that they became undriveable.
At Lanier, we watched as the fast qualifier ran off from the field only to fade later on after 35 laps and watch as the most consistent car in the field caught and passed him for the win. We preach consistency and we were rewarded with a demonstration of just that.
There were development teams at both Lanier and Tri-County Speedways. These areas are in NASCAR country and generate interest for Cup wannabes. Tri-County had Revolution Racing, part of the Drive for Diversity campaign, in attendance. We met two female racers and a young man from All American Speedway in Sacramento, California, who was of Hispanic background.
Trends Overall, we see a transition of the classes into more affordable racing. Not only the advent of 8-inch tires and combined engine rules, but the addition of Legends cars in the program drives the back gate attendance and that is much different than we've seen in the past.
The young drivers are a big part of short-track racing and it seems like they get younger every year. We did run into one dad who had a novel approach to his son's racing. They were competing at Lanier in the very competitive Super Late Model division.
Dad explained that ever since his son had competed in karts, the requirement was for him to maintain straight A's in school or not race. If not, he would have to sit out the next six weeks until the next report card came out. Well, he hasn't missed any races so far. What a plan!
Tracks are trying to become more a part of the growing community around them rather than apart. The running of mufflers to quiet the cars, and getting the program underway early and finishing earlier helps attract the families who need to get the kids to bed at a decent hour and helps bring larger numbers of fans.
Keeping a tight schedule helps move the program along. Complaints that come from non-attending neighbors are usually reduced when the sound level drops and the races can be finished by 10 p.m.
One trend we saw and have had reports about at the end of last season is the giving away of vouchers instead of money at the awards banquets at season's end. We talked to numerous teams that really were disgusted with this practice.
It's hard enough to fund a team and when you're given paper instead of the expected money, that limits where you can buy what you need. It's a cheesy way to save a little money and it ends up costing much more when many teams either quit racing or go to another racetrack where the management stands by its word.
Conclusion It's the changing times that drive the changes in how short-track racing is promoted, developed, and operated. This Tour is looking to be very timely indeed. We are on the cusp of big changes in our sport and hopefully we can share information that will help all of the promoters and participants to improve their game for the success of all.
We want to especially thank AMSOIL for its support and the whole of the industry will come to realize what that support will mean to us all in the long run. Also lending their support are CV Products and Holley Performance Products. Sometimes things just come together when the timing is right, and now is the perfect time for this historic Tour. We look forward to sharing even more information as time goes on.

Promotional ideas varied among the early tracks we visited. Here we see the Food City large grocery cart at Lonesome Pine Raceway that is also a part of the Bristol Motor Speedway promotion during the Cup races there. This is just one of the promotional tools that track promoter Harold Crook uses. Catering to the families seems to be a good way to develop a loyal fan base for any racetrack.Lanier National Speedway polled its fans about their idea for turning the track into a dirt track. The hoax came complete with the display of an earthmover parked adjacent to the entrance sign. No, they're not converting the track to a dirt track, but many dirt tracks are doing quite well these days.Our Tour sponsor, AMSOIL, is giving away a case of its high-end racing gear oil to the top division winners on this Tour. The teams display a sticker and are eligible for the offer. Many of the teams we talked to were very familiar with AMSOIL and the benefits. Tales of lower rearend and transmission temperatures were common.The truck division is strong at some tracks. This winner is shown as we see a Bandolaro car being pushed off the track in the background. Lower division cars such as Legends, Bandolaros, and Mini-Cup cars are being included in the program to boost the numbers of race cars for a typical Friday or Saturday night event.The track photographer for Tri-County talks with Ty Dillon, whose dad, Mike, runs the operations at Richard Childress Racing. Many sons and daughters of families involved in Cup racing compete in and around this neighborhood in central North Carolina. Mike himself was a prominent short-track racer back in the '90s in North Carolina and Virginia.The kids just loved our bus. Here one tot was thrilled just to touch it. I guess he thought it would be hot, and it is! Coincidentally, his bike was painted like the bus complete with flames. His dad rescued Karen and me from being locked out of the bus when we accidentally pushed the lock lever before going for an evening walk at the Tom Johnson Camping center in Marion, North Carolina, where we purchased the beast.

Here's Little Richard
Available on CD, LP and digital download.
To the casual fan, this reissue of Little Richard's first long-playing album might be a little redundant, especially if they already have a legit CD of the original Specialty recordings of his greatest hits, like The Georgia Peach (all of the songs on this album are also on this collection, albeit in an obviously different sequence). But why buy this album in the first place, especially when it's coming from an era – the rock and R&B markets of the 1950's and pre-Beatles 1960's – when singles were the dominant format and albums were pretty much an afterthought?
Simple: Because this album – and thus a good chunk of the Reverend's classics – are sounding the best they have ever sounded. These are almost sixty-year-old tapes – and I don't know what kind of stock Art Rupe and Bumps Blackwell, Richard's producers, were able to get their hands on at the time (1955-early 1957) of the sessions, but either it held up well over these years compared to reel-to-reel analog tapes of the Eighties and beyond (when a company called Ampex was selling studios some of the shittiest formulations of recording tape ever to be wrapped around a flat plastic spool) or Specialty's previous owners, Fantasy, took very damn good care of the tapes in their vaults.
The star of the show here, of course, is many of Little Richard's classic A-sides: "Tutti Frutti", "Long Tall Sally", "Slippin' and Slidin'", "Rip It Up", "Jenny Jenny" – and many of their B's. These songs, of course, are part of the backbone of rock and roll (Elvis Presley covered four of Richard's songs on his first two RCA albums, but he could only better Pat Boone's whitewashed and pathetic treatments of those same songs, and barely see Richard's taillights himself); The rest is fine R&B that Specialty was hoping their answer to Ray Charles would be putting out.
As further bonuses, there is some revealing material on this release. Most important is the demo that got Richard signed to Specialty – more to the R&B side that Specialty was looking for rather than the rock and roll he would spontaneously invent at his first session, but with his own backing band rather than the session musicians that supported him on the original album's recordings. Less important is an interview with Specialty owner/producer Art Rupe (edited down, obviously, from an existing finished radio program) that one will find themselves listening to only once. And then there's two film clips of Richard performing for a screen test for The Girl Can't Help It – which this review couldn't review because of how his otherwise new laptop was set up.
As mentioned at the beginning of the review, singles, not albums, were the predominant format for rock and R&B music and albums were an afterthought – meaning, in this instance, that the sessions took place between 1955 and early 1957 and were all meant for single releases. By then, Specialty had enough material to compile an album. Here's Little Richard was first released in March of 1957; a few months later, Little Richard would have an epiphany, leave the music business in favor of Bible study and later becoming an ordained minister, and vault back and forth between rocking and preaching for the rest of his life until he eventually concluded that God wanted him to be Little Richard in the first place. Even if he had disappeared completely from music after this first album and the rest of his recordings for the label were issued (the rest of his available sessions would be released by Specialty as a second, eponymous album over a year later – which I hope Specialty will also remaster and reissue soon, since there's some classics on that album that didn't make this long player), his place in history was already assured – and in the case of this reissue, history is clearer than ever.
(Collector's alert: A colored vinyl reissue of this album is being released by Specialty/Concord this Saturday, April 21 – Record Store Day.)

Hi there.
I'm trying to use an external LDAP on a dev-installation. In admin I created a domain using the external LDAP, tested it (works ok in the test, I just think you should leave the template as Zimbra uses it), but when I try to create accounts and to login on the new domain, everything goes thought local LDAP. I foud out in LC.java the hardcoded default configuration, and when I changed there (and made some tweaks) works fine, using the external LDAP.
I couldn't find where the dev-install gets the config, so my question is: as for passwords, does the dev-install use static LDAP host? Or is this a credentials problem?

I have ZCS 6 installed on CentOS 5 and would like to upgrade to version 7. I have a primary and secondary (standby) node. Data is replicated to the secondary node (/opt/zimbra) using drbd and heartbeat is used for server monitoring/failover.
After I extract the the version 7 tarball and run ./install.sh on the primary server, the changes that the upgrade script makes to /opt/zimbra should be replicated to the secondary node. Since I only replicate /opt/zimbra, are there files outside of this that I should be copying over from the primary to secondary node manually that are changed during the upgrade process?
Also, will Outlook connectors from version 6 still work after zimbra has been upgraded to version 7?

For example, a figure caption that read, "The rocky cliff on the western side of the Mitla Fortress." would be shortened in the list of figures to, "The Mitla Fortress from the west." The list of tables may contain the exact table titles or short statements of what the tables show.
Brief and to the point. Boldface and center "Abstract" and indent first line of abstract.
Resumen, résumé
A resumen, résumé, or abstract in any other language may immediately follow the abstract. It should be an exact translation and should be grammatically and orthographically correct (add all of the diacritics). Style this exactly like the abstract. Add a line space between the abstract and the resumen.
Affiliation footnote
These are rare. They may appear when each chapter of the monograph is by a separate person or group of people.
An introduction to the entire work is not always needed unless you are preparing an edited volume, but you may want to include one. An introduction in this sense is part of the book's front matter; it does not receive a chapter title and is not always appropriate as a section title.
Materials and methods
This section is a detailed but concise account of how you conducted your work, including research strategy and field methods. List any abbreviations and definitions of acronyms here. Use standard abbreviations for institution names and collections. See section on abbreviations for more information.
Material examined:
You may decide to list specimens in a separate section or as an appendix. You may include physical details about each specimen and the catalog number, locality, and name of collector.
The headings in the text should match the headings in the table of contents. For clarity, we recommend not exceeding four levels of headings in text. Please follow this format for heads:
Heading 1: Boldface, initial caps, flush left, and set in 11-point type
Heading 1
Heading 2: Boldface, italics, initial caps, flush left, and set in 9-point type
Heading 2
Heading 3: Set in Caps and small caps, set in 9-point type, indent paragraph, add em dash, and then run in text.
HEADING 3—Text follows.
Heading 4 (rare): Initial caps, indent paragraph, add em dash, and then run in text.
Heading 4—Text follows.
You may use the words "above" and "below" to reference close material; for distant material, however, we recommend identifying the section parenthetically, e.g., "(see earlier discussion under History and Culture)."
Be sure to indicate in your manuscript where you want figures and tables placed. We may have to place them elsewhere due to restrictions of design and page layout. A common problem is too little text and too many display elements (Tables and Figures), in which case we will try to place all figures or all tables in one, two, or three galleries.
In-text citations
- Use author–year style in chronological, then alphabetical, order. Use a comma between author and year. For three or more authors, list the first author followed by et al. (Smith et al., 1963). For two or more citations listed together, separate with semicolons (Smith et al., 1963; Jones, 1999). If citing a chapter in the same edited volume, use "(Smith, this volume).
- When there's more than one reference with the same author/s and date, use letters to distinguish one from the other: (Smith, 1963a) and (Smith, 1963b).
- Use ampersands within parentheses but spell out and otherwise: (Smith & Jones, 1963); Smith and Jones (1963).
- Personal communications referenced in text: (Heitman, pers. comm.).
- Use lowercase when referring to other authors' figures, tables, plates, or chapters.
- When citing direct quotations in the text, include page numbers: (Smith, 1963: 171).
- Immediately after the first use of binomial names, taxonomic authorities are the only citations that should appear in parentheses, unless you make itthat the citation is not an authority.
- In manuscripts that describe new species, authorities of taxa discussed in regard to the new species must be included in the literature cited.
Referring to tables and figures in text
Capitalize Table and Figure. Spell out Figure in text, but use (Fig.) or (Figs.) in parentheses. Use lowercase when referring to other authors' figures, tables, plates, or chapters.
Taxonomic treatments
Descriptions, or redescriptions of taxa should begin with the next higher classification, e.g. for a species description, the genus and its authority. The focal taxon name is centered and in Bold. On the line after the new species name (Genus nspecious n. sp.) please list the figures which illustrate the taxon. Diagnoses and descriptions should be in telegraphic style. Rather than state "the tail is long and is strongly bicolored with a black tip", use "Tail: long, Strongly bicolored, tip black." All authorities of pertinent taxa, including the next higher classification and species to which the focal taxon is being compared must be included in the Literature Cited.
Don't use them. The Fieldiana format is simply not appropriate for footnotes or endnotes.
Acknowledgments are limited to three kinds: financial support, professional assistance (loan of specimens, use of research facilities, field assistance, etc.), and truly exceptional personal contributions. The acknowledgments should be placed before the literature cited section.
Literature Cited:
- Use the head Literature Cited, not References.
- Use author–year style, with references ordered strictly alphabetically. Author names should be in caps.
- Spell out names of all journals and book publishers.
- Use a single 3-em dash for an exact repetition of author or authors.
- Include a space between two or more author initials: MILLER, W. D.
- Capitalize the first letter following a colon for both journal article and book titles.
- If you must cite an issue number, use this style: 34(3): 111–113.
- Page numbers should be all inclusive: 104–109, not 104–9.
- It is not necessary to include total number of pages for books.
It is the author's responsibility to make sure that all in-text citations have a corresponding entry in the literature cited section and vice versa. Also please make sure that dates and spelling match.

Appendices follow the literature cited section. Begin the appendix on a new page. If figures or tabular material accompany an appendix (or compose the totality of the appendix), they should be clearly labeled as such. Each appendix should be designated with roman numerals: Appendix I, Appendix II. Lengthy appendices of only indirect relevance to the manuscript may best be made available online instead of printed along with the rest of the volume.
The value of your work may be enhanced by an index. Please discuss this with the Editors. After you check the page proofs, you may use them to create the index. Please supply the index as an electronic file and as double-spaced copy. Include all significant items, taxonomic synonyms, and major topics of discussion.
We refer to all illustrations—line drawings, maps, graphs, and photographs—as figures. Please number them consecutively using Arabic numerals. Fieldiana Anthropology contributions number the figures and tables according to which chapter they belong to: Fig. 1.2 or Table 5.1. In Fieldiana Life and Earth Sciences, the figures and tables are numbered consecutively: Fig. 2 or Fig. 5. In edited volumes of Fieldiana Life and Earth Sciences, each chapter begins numbering Figures and Tables with "1". In running text, capitalize and spell out. In parentheses, please use (Fig.) or (Figs.). See Figure captions section in this document for specific caption formatting.
Figure captions should not appear on the figures themselves, but should be grouped together and double-spaced on a separate sheet of paper (or a separate electronic file). Captions should be self-explanatory and should not require reference to the text. The word Figure should be abbreviated and set in small caps, FIG. The captions should be in paragraph style, and the parts of a figure in boldface: (A), (B).
The overall dimensions of Fieldiana are 8.5 by 11 inches. The column and page dimensions are:
- Page width (2 columns) 43.5 picas, ~ 7.25 inches
- Single column width 21 picas, ~ 3.5 inches
- Page height 58 picas, ~ 9.5 inches
Electronic art — Strongly Preferred
- Halftone and color images should be submitted at desired print size, with no less than 300 pixels per inch (ppi or dpi) resolution. Digital color files must be in CMYK mode. Digital color proofs supplied must be output in CMYK mode. Halftones should have dot end settings of 2% in the lightest are of the image and 98% in the darkest area.
- If submitting photographs taken using a digital camera, please use the highest resolution setting option with the least amount of compression. Please refer to your camera's manual for more information. Please note that images that are downloaded from the internet are usually in JPEG or GIF format and 72 dpi. These are not acceptable for print. If you are unsure, print out the figure and look at its quality.
- Line art should be submitted at desired print size, no less than 1200 dpi.
- TIFF or EPS file formats are preferred, and may be submitted for both PC and Macintosh platforms. We also accept image files in the following Native Application File Formats: Adobe Photoshop (.psd), Adobe Acrobat (.pdf), Illustrator (.ai), PowerPoint (.ppt), Word (.doc) and Excel (.xls). Files are accepted on CD or DVD.
- Scale bars should be included in the figure rather than in the figure caption. Final type size of letters on the figure should be no less than 8 point, and should be fairly consistent within the manuscript.
Please include with your submission a directory of the files contained on the disk and a hardcopy printout of each figure. The hardcopy must match the digital file. Please include the screen and printer font files for any text that has been added to the figure. Adobe PostScript fonts should be used. Please do NOT use TrueType or system "bitmap" fonts. To avoid font problems, convert all type to curves or paths. Additional information on digital art specifications is provided by Allen Press.
Changes in figures that result from unclear author specifications, or for any author-generated reason, will be charged to the author.
Original (hard copy) art
- Normally, only copies of original art, photographs, or unique illustrations should be included with an initial submission to Fieldiana.
- Size of original artwork should be no less than its reproduction size, and no greater than twice its reproduction size.
- All original artwork must be labeled.
- Labels should contain the Journal Name, Author, Figure #, MS#, and percentage reduction or final column size desired, and should be filled out legibly using BLACK ink. If the artwork is in color, please indicate on the label whether it is to be reproduced in color or black and white.
- Labels should be placed at the tops of figures, no more than ½" from the image area. Removable figure labels should be used. Please keep labels small. Do NOT label or write in ink on the back of the artwork, as it may bleed through upon reproduction.
- If assembling multiple pieces of artwork into one plate, the artwork should be mounted on stiff white board, which is less than 1/8" thick. Use a glue stick to mount figures securely. Do not use tape of any kind.
- If lettering is required on an image, rub-on transfer letters are preferred over Kroy type. Letters and labels on the figure should be placed at least 1/8" from all edges of the figure. Scale bars should always be included in the figure rather than in the figure caption. Final type size of letters on the figure should be no less than 8 points, and should be fairly consistent within the manuscript.
- Half-tone images (such as black and white photographs) should be submitted as close to final size as possible. They must be high contrast and show fine detail.
Additional information on original art specifications may be provided by Allen Press. Art re-shoots made because the author was not clear in his or her specifications, or for any author-generated reason, will be charged to the author.
Tables should be submitted electronically in a standard software program, with an accompanying printout of each table printed on a separate page. Tables that are especially long should be in their own separate electronic files. Occasionally, tables may be submitted as camera-ready copy. All but camera-ready copy must be double-spaced. If tables are submitted as camera-ready copy, please provide a separate list of table heads. These heads will be typeset conventionally and set with the corresponding tables during production.
Please indicate in your manuscript where you envision the placement of your tables, if it isn't to be at, or near, the first mention in the text. Tables should be self-explanatory and not require reference to the text.
Tables should be styled as follows:
- Number tables consecutively with Arabic numbers.
- Try to keep headings as brief as possible.
- Use horizontal lines to separate headings or column labels, and add a single line at the bottom of the table. Do not use vertical lines.
- Double space the entire table
- 12-point font is preferred. The minimum is 10-point font.
- Boldface column heads; cap then lowercase.
- Cap then lowercase stub columns (left most).
- Be consistent with footnote designators: symbols are the most common (*, †, ‡, §, _, #, **, ††, ‡‡, §§, __, ##, etc.) but letters or numbers may be used for statistical data. Paragraph indent footnotes and use a thin space after designator.
- Be consistent with treatment of cells with no data; blank cells are okay, or you may insert a hyphen.
- All tables and figures must fit on a Fieldiana page (8 1/2 x 11 inches) and in the Fieldiana format. It is the responsibility of the authors to split oversize figures and tables into manageable page-size pieces.
Use of Protected Materials — Permissions:
Authors who use previously published materials, in whole or in part, that are under copyright protection, or any other protected material, must submit written permission to use this material in Fieldiana by the stage of final acceptance. Warning! Obtaining written permission may take several months; therefore, we suggest you begin as early as possible.
When an illustration includes an image of a person, the author should, if possible, obtain permission from that individual to publish the image. Copies of any permissions received from individuals regarding the use and publication of their likeness, should be given to the Managing Scientific Editor.
Abbreviations and acronyms
- Spell out terms in full for first appearance in abstract and again for first appearance in text. Do not spell out again in figure captions or tables.
- It's okay to begin a sentence with an acronym, but not an abbreviation.
- Use small caps for institutional acronyms: FMNH.
- Follow usual rules: run together most prefixes and suffixes, but hyphenate to avoid double vowels (intra-abdominal) and triple consonants (bell-like); but defer to Merriam-Webster's 11th edition (preempt).
- Use an em dash in open or hyphenated compounds: pre–World War II; non–weight-bearing leg. And between two units of equal weight: snout–vent length.
- Use regular hyphenation rules for units of measure: a 4-m-thick sandstone block; but a sandstone block 4 m thick (hyphenate adjectives when they appear before the noun).
- Hyphenate all -like words.
- Spell out Genus species on first mention of each taxon and at the beginning of sentences. Then use G. species. If discussing two genera tht begin with the same letter, carefully assess each use as to whether an initial is sufficiently clear.
- Be consistent when choosing to spell out the genus name with each new species.
- If quotation marks or question marks are used with genus species designations, the quotation marks or question marks should be set in roman type, not italics (e.g., The Unio? is Neotrapezium californicum).
Units of measure:
- Standard, i.e. International System of Units (SI), units of measure are abbreviated throughout the text, figures, and tables.
- Be consistent when abbreviating units of time and when using numerals or spelled-out numbers for units of time.
Submission Procedures
Fieldiana is a peer-reviewed monographic series published by the Field Museum of Natural History. Fieldiana focuses on mid-length monographs and scientific papers pertaining to its collections and research. Manuscripts of at least 40 but rarely more than 400 pages of text will be considered. All manuscripts should be submitted to the Managing Scientific Editor.
Field Museum curators, research associates, and full-time scientific professional staff may submit papers for consideration with minimal financial charges for normal printing. Edited volumes pertaining to Field Museum collections may also be submitted for consideration under a 50% subsidy arrangement. The submission and peer review of these chaptered volumes should be arranged well in advance with the Managing Scientific Editor and the appropriate Associate Editor. Prospective volume editors should consult the section on Edited Works in the GENERAL POLICIES section of our web page.
Submitting Work for Peer Review
All manuscripts should be submitted to the Managing Scientific Editor. All elements of the work, including the figures, tables, and appendices, must be complete at submission. To expedite the publication process, we ask that authors prepare their manuscripts for peer review according to the following general style and formatting guidelines. Manuscripts submitted for consideration should be prepared using MSWord (*.doc). Manuscripts must be in English, using American spelling and grammar conventions. The entire manuscript including the figure headings, tables, and appendices should be double-spaced and in 12 pt New Times Roman or Arial font. The title page must include the title and each author's name and affiliation. A mailing and e-mail address should also be provided for the corresponding author. In addition to an electronic copy, two printed copies of the manuscript should be submitted to the Managing Scientific Editor with a brief dated letter of submission. These copies can be printed on both sides of letter-sized paper and all margins should be one inch. Page numbers should be at the bottom of each page. Please also submit the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses of at least five possible reviewers. Authors should keep a copy of their manuscript and the original figures and photographs until the manuscript has been accepted for publication.
Edited Works:
Fieldiana primarily publishes mid-length monographs. However, Fieldiana may also publish edited works with separately authored chapters when the subject matter is appropriate to the mission of Field Museum and its collections and research. The submission of edited works should be arranged well in advance with the Managing Scientific Editor and the appropriate Associate Editor.
Eligibility for Submission
Curators, research associates, full-time scientific support staff, full-time paid postdoctoral fellows, graduate students of Field Museum curators, and fellowship awardees may submit edited works for publication in Fieldiana under a 50 % subsidy arrangement.
Volume Editor's Responsibilities
The volume editors organize the subject matter, insure the cohesion of the volume, provide an introductory synthesis of the volume's contents, and minimize redundancy. The volume editor also is responsible for communications with the chapter authors regarding Fieldiana policies and format, for establishing deadlines, and for all communication of reviewers' comments, the proofs and electronic and hard-copy reprints.
The Volume Editor should instruct chapter authors to use the same fonts and styles throughout, including in figures and tables, prepare the Table of Contents and Lists of Figures and Tables, write a Preface to the volume that unifies the different chapters and highlights the broad unifying questions the volume addresses, assess whether the Literature Cited sections of each chapter are redundant and, if so, prepare one Literature Cited section for the entire volume.
Internal references to chapters in the same volume should be in the format "(Smith, this volume)". The full reference is to be included in the Literature Cited in the usual format.
Figures and tables in edited works should be numbered beginning with 1 for each chapter.
Each chapter should have its own Short Title or Running Head of about 50 characters.
Submission Procedures
All manuscripts of edited volumes should be submitted to the Managing Scientific Editor. In general the preparation of manuscripts should follow the guidelines provided on the author information section of the web page. However, the submission of edited works should also include the following materials:
- An electronic copy and two printed copies of each chapter should be submitted to the Managing Scientific Editor with a brief dated letter of submission. The volume editor should keep a copy of the entire manuscript and the original figures and photographs.
- A letter to the Associate Editor that provides the names of two potential reviewers for each chapter. These contacts must be people whom the volume editor believes to be qualified to either review the chapter or identify potential reviewers. With each name the volume editor should provide complete contact information.
- A letter to the Managing Scientific Editor that commits the volume editor(s) to paying at least 50 % of the publication costs of the volume. The payment must be arranged for prior to printing. Cost estimates can be provided by the Managing Scientific Editor but the final charge will be based on the final invoice provided by the printer.
Response to Peer Reviews--As the reviews are received, the Associate Editor may identify chapters that can be provisionally recommended for rejection or acceptance. The Associate Editor's decision will be given to the volume editor in writing. If a chapter is provisionally accepted, the volume editor is responsible to see that the author(s) revise the manuscripts for final submission. The author(s) must respond in writing to all peer-review comments and incorporate any necessary changes into the manuscript. The author(s) must also justify any reviewers' comments that they ignore or deem ill-advised. This information is sent to the volume editor, who considers it and works with the author as necessary to improve the work, then forwards it to the Associate Editor with the complete volume.
Authors Copies
Each volume editor receives 15 hard copies of the printed volume at no cost. Additional hard copies of the complete volumes can be requested, when the proofs are returned. The price of these complete volumes will be discounted. The volume editor receives a complimentary PDF of the published volume.
Author Revision Period
Manuscripts returned to authors for revisions should normally be revised and returned to the appropriate Associate Editor within three (3) months. Revisions on large manuscripts of more than 100 pages or edited volumes must be completed and returned to the Associate Editor within six (6) months of receiving the reviewer's comments. With the final revised manuscript, each author should complete and sign a copyright transfer form and send it to the Associate Editor.
Resources for Authors
- For matters of spelling and hyphenation use Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th edition.
- For a general resource of style use CBE 6th edition (style guide from the Council of Biological Editors)
- For specific questions on style consult
- A recent Fieldiana publication
- The Style Guidelines, above
- A recent Fieldiana publication
- For guidance about figures consult the digital art specifications
Submitting Work for Production:
Following conditional acceptance, a manuscript must be prepared for production. It is the author's responsibility to submit a revised manuscript to the Associate Editor that not only reflects reviewers' comments and high-quality science, the manuscript must meet Fieldiana's style and format standards. A manuscript that perfectly conforms to Fieldiana style and formatting guidelines will be ready to go to production.
Authors must submit final figures in the size at which they are to be printed. Oversized figures waste journal space and increase costs. Please help us avoid this. The overall dimensions of Fieldiana are 8.5 by 11 inches. The column and page dimensions are:
- Page width (2 columns) 43.5 picas, ~ 7.25 inches
- Single column width 21 picas, ~ 3.5 inches
- Page height 58 picas, ~ 9.5 inches
If figures are to be placed on facing pages or in specific association with each other or with other material, please indicate this in a note to the copy editor. Also, please indicate where you envision placement of your figures and tables, if other than near their first mention, in the text. If you have what could be perceived as unusual features in your manuscript, please explain them in a note to the copyeditor.
Insert the Figure Caption for the cover image on a page before the Table of Contents, and the cover image itself in a file named as such.
Please proofread your Table of Contents and list of figures and tables against the text before final submission.Back to Top

Focus on District 5 Candidates
(Le Mars) -- We focus on the candidates with the race for County Supervisor representing District 5. Jim Henrich of Akron is the incumbant candidate, seeking a third term as a supervisor. Henrich is a former teacher of the Akron-Westfield school district, as well as a former Akron city council member. He is also a farmer. Dan Smith of Merrill is a contractor by trade. He is a former member of the Le Mars Community School Board, a former member of the Merrill City Council, and a former director of Life Skills Training Center.
Henrich points to his experience as a supervisor for reason for re-election. He says that under his direction as chairman of the board of supervisors, the group of supervisors have been able to work within a tight budget, lower taxes, cut expenses, save money, and expand facilities during a time when there wasn't a lot of extra available funds.
Listen here
Smith says supervisors need to work with many groups within the county and he sees a need for some changes.
Listen here
The Local Options Sales Tax was implemented to help pay for the law enforcement center, but it has also provided funds for several Plymouth County communities and organizations. In nearly three years time, Plymouth County voters will decide whether or not the Local Options Sales Tax should continue. Smith says he favors the program, and would like to see it help reduce property taxes.
Listen here
Henrich says the Local Options Sales Tax is a good program because everyone contributes and everyone benefits.
Listen here
We have discussed the virtues and the criticisms of the Tax Increment Financing Program with other supervisor candidates. TIF has been utilized in Plymouth County, primarily to help the Plymouth County Ethanol at Merrill. Henrich says the program, if used correctly, can help with economic development.
Listen here
Road repair and the funding of road repair is always a concern for any county government board member. Smith says the county needs to establish priorities when it comes time to address road repairs.
Listen here
Smith also has a goal to have at least some of the supervisor meeting scheduled in the evening so daytime workers will have the opportunity to address the supervisors without having to miss work.
