When you're trying to choose one photo for a project from among several similar ones, you may find it helpful to bring them into Compare View. I've narrowed down to these three photos for a project I'm doing and now I want to compare them more closely. I could select the photos that I want to compare, but since I'm in Folder Location View, I don't have to select any if I want to compare all of the photos in the targeted folder. So I'm just going to go up to the Display menu at the top of the screen and I'm going to choose Compare Photos Side by Side. That opens all three of the photos into Full Screen View, the same view that I showed you in the last couple of movies.
I covered how the controls in Full Screen View work in the last movie, but for a quick review, there is a Film Strip over here on the right. If I move my mouse over the middle of the screen, I get this Control Bar. If I stop moving, the Control Bar disappears, so that will go on and off as we go through this movie. By the way, if you don't see a Film Strip on the right side of your screen, move your mouse to bring the Control Bar up and click on the first icon here to Toggle the Film Strip on. Then over on the left, there are a couple of panels that appear when I move my mouse over them, or disappear when I move my mouse off.
There is a panel from which I can apply Quick Edits and another from which I can apply some quick organizing features like Keyword Tags, which I'll use in this movie. In the Film Strip, there are blue borders around two of the three photos; those are the two photos that are showing here in the middle of the screen. So these are the two that I'm currently comparing. As I compare the quality and composition of my photos, I'm going to apply star ratings to each photo. Right now photo one on the left is the one that's selected.
You can see that because it has this blue border around it. So with photo one selected, I'm going to add a star rating to it by moving my mouse over the Quick Edit panel, going to the top of that panel, and clicking on five stars, and then I'll move off to close the Quick Edit panel. Now, I can't see the stars that I've applied to this photo here in this view, but when I go back to the Organizer, I'll see those stars. I don't like the image on the right as well, so I'll apply fewer stars to that one. First, I'll click on it to select it, and now the blue selection border is around the photo on the right.
Then I'll go back over to the left side of the screen, hover over the Quick Edit panel and click on three stars for this photo. When I move off, the Quick Edit panel collapses. So of these two, I like the photo on the left the best. So what I'd like to do now is to bring the third photo into the mix and have it replace the photo that's currently on the right. So I want to make sure that the blue border is around the photo on the right, and then I'll go over to the Film Strip and I'll click on this third photo right here. Now I can see that third photo here in this window on the right, and I can compare it to the one that I liked a moment ago.
Of these two, I think I still like the close up the best. In fact, I really don't care for this long shot at all on the right. So I'm going to give the long shot on the right just one star. To give it stars, I'll make sure that the photo on the right is still selected, that it still has the blue border around it, and then I'll move over to the Quick Edit panel and I'll click on one star and then move off to collapse that panel. In addition to giving star ratings to photos, I like to add a Keyword Tag to my favorite when I'm in Compare View like this.
So for that, I'm going to go back and click on the photo that I like the best, the one on the left. It's now selected, and I know that because it has the blue border around it. Then I'm going to hover over the Quick Organize panel. Here I'm going to go down to the Keyword Tag area, click in the Tag Media field, and I'm going to type Favorite, creating a Favorite Keyword Tag. Then to apply it to the selected photo, I'll click the green Plus symbol. Then I'll move off to collapse the Quick Organize panel. Now if you look at the Film Strip, you'll see that there is a tiny icon for a Keyword Tag on that first photo, and I'll be able to see that out in Organizer View too.
So now I'm done comparing, but before I go back out to the Organizer, I want to show you a couple of more things down in the Control Bar. If I move my mouse, the Control Bar comes back into view. You may not see these last icons here in your Control Bar. If your Control Bar looks like this, then click the arrow here at the very right side of the Control Bar, and that will show some additional controls. If I go to this control and click the arrow to the right of it, I can choose to compare my images in an Above and Below View like this, rather than Side by Side.
Now, in this case that doesn't make sense because I have two vertical images, but if I were comparing horizontal images, this would be a better way to view them. To go back to the Vertical View, I'll move my mouse to bring the Control Bar back, I'll move over that arrow, and I'll choose Side by Side. There is also a link icon here. If I click this link icon and then I move into one of the two images, and I move my Scrollbar on my mouse to zoom out or to zoom in, both images are linked together and will zoom together.
While I'm zoomed into more than a 100% as I currently am, if I click in either image, I can pan around in the image to see a different part of it, and because I've linked the two images together, the other image pans with me. Now I'm all done with Compare View and I'd like to exit out to my Organizer. So I'll move my mouse again to bring up the Control Bar, and here I'm going to click this X on the Control Bar, just to the right of the I button, and that takes me back out to the Organizer. Here I can see the star ratings that I gave to each photo when I was in Compare View, and I can see my Keyword Tag that I created in Compare View that identifies this photo as my favorite.
So that's how to use Compare View in Full Screen View to compare one or more images, looking at only a couple of them at a time.

We thank Drs Yarborough and Erdreich for their interest in our study, as well as in our previous studies.
In their criticism, they reiterate limitations we explicitly acknowledge in the article, including sample size, lack of dose response, multiple chemicals, and potential selection bias, to mention a few. Yet, to our knowledge, this is the first prospective controlled study to have done such analysis, controlling for maternal socioeconomic class, IQ, education, and family income. Naturally, there will never be a randomized trial in this area, to the extent possible, and any observational study has the risk of uncontrolled, unknown confounders. We believe our study controlled for confounders of neurodevelopment by measuring maternal IQ, education, and family income.

Nancy Morgan Hart (1735-1830)
Nancy Morgan Hart is most known for holding six British soldiers at gunpoint, but this is only one of her patriotic efforts against the British. Hart was determined to rid the area of Tories, colonists loyal to the King.
Nancy Morgan was born in Orange County, North Carolina, in 1735. She grew up to be a very tall, muscular woman with red hair, blue eyes and a scarred face. Nancy was feisty and had a quick temper. Local Cherokees referred to her as "war woman." She was illiterate but ran her household well and was knowledgeable about frontier survival. She was a skilled herbalist and an excellent shot, despite the fact that she was cross-eyed. She did not marry until age 36, something very unusual on the frontier, and then moved with her husband Benjamin Hart, to the Wilkes River of Northern Georgia.
Hart was one of the most patriotic women in Georgia. While her husband was away fighting the war, Hart was alone on the frontier with her children, but managed to sneak away periodically to work as a spy. She would masquerade herself as a man and enter British camps pretending to be feeble minded in order to gain information. She may have also been present at the Battle of Kettle Creek on February 14, 1779.
The Tories made frequent stops at the Hart house keeping a close eye on the patriotic woman. In one instance Hart's daughter noticed a Tory spying on the family through a hole in the wall. Hart was making soap at the time and threw a ladle full of boiling soap through the crack scalding the spy. They then hog-tied the man and turned him over to the Patriots.
Hart's most famous act involved six British soldiers. They killed Hart's last turkey and demanded she cook it for them. She also generously shared her corn liquor, ensuring that the soldiers she intended to capture were intoxicated. While the turkey was cooking, she sent her daughter to fetch some water from the spring and gave the girl instructions to alert her father, who was working in the field, by blowing on a conch shell they had hidden for this very reason. While the soldiers were preoccupied with their dinner and wine, Hart began to sneak their guns through a hole in the wall. She had gotten two of them through but was caught in the act while trying to steal the third. She quickly drew the gun on the soldiers and threatened to shoot whichever one moved first. She kept her word and after one of the soldiers made an advance on her she shot and killed him. The rest of the soldiers were wary to make a move but decided to try to rush the woman. She shot and wounded another soldier. The soldiers realized that they were disadvantaged and surrendered. They offered to shake hands but Hart did not dare lower her gun.
When her husband arrived, Hart still had the British soldiers at gunpoint. Her husband suggested they shoot them, but Hart thought that was to good for them and instead her husband and a few neighbors hung the men from a nearby tree. In 1912, six bodies were found buried near the Hart home and believed to have been there for over a century thus confirming the Hart legend.
After the war and her husband's death, Hart moved several times. She eventually settled in Henderson County, Kentucky around 1803. Nancy Hart died in 1830 and was buried in the Hart family cemetery outside of Henderson.
A replica of the cabin Hart lived in was erected in the 1930's. Chimney stones were found from the original cabin and used in the new construction. In Georgia, Hart is revered as a hero from the American Revolution. A county, city, lake, and highway were all named after the patriotic woman.

On the drive home, it started to rain pretty bad. It's the rainy season here, so that's bound to happen. We then toured the city and malls, and saw a pretty cool exhibit at a museum about all these gold articacts found in the phillipines from the 10th century. Ok, I can feel you loosing interest. I'll move on.
That night, we went out to dinner at a restaurant that eddie's friend owned, sooooo drinks were on the house. I had a duvel (yes, they actually had some kind of a beer selection there). I was so good to have some quality beer again So, Like I said, this is just the perfect place for me to visit right now. More to do tomorrow! We're driving out to a condo in a resort area that's on the crater of an old volcano (now a lake). Should be nice

What's in a name: Cooper Road
Where is it?
Cooper Road extends off East 38th Street, east of Shannon Road, and continues across Station Road to Magnolia Blossom Drive and Susan Street in Harborcreek Township.
What's the story?
If it came to guessing how the short span of road got its name, a former miller might be the most likely reason.
W.H. Cooper, born in 1824 in Venango County, dealt with mills for most of his life, according to "The History of Erie County, Vol. 2." After working at the Empire Mill, established in 1851 in Wesleyville, until it burned down in 1883, Cooper and his son rebuilt the mill along Four Mile Creek. (Cooper Road crosses over the creek.)
Cooper also held a few township offices, including road commissioner.

The State Ports Authority picked an urban design firm on Tuesday to update its master plan for some of the most valuable and underdeveloped waterfront property on the Charleston peninsula.
The SPA must now finish negotiating the terms of the contract with New York-based Cooper Robertson and Partners, a group that previously had worked on the Charleston Visitor Center, the Judicial Center and the College of Charleston's School of Education.
The cost of the updated plan cannot exceed $700,000.
Cooper Robertson will spend four months working on a plan to improve the SPA's cruise-ship terminal near the end of Market Street and the nine acres of waterfront property around it.
The selection was made after the maritime agency collaborated with city of Charleston officials.
Joe Bryant, the SPA's vice president of terminal development, said Mayor Joe Riley spent a half-day working with the authority to decide between two finalist firms. Bryant said the choice "came down to scope," that Cooper Robertson brings real estate and development expertise.
Plus, according to Bryant, the firm focused on public involvement and project financing.
"If this project is going to work, it's got to be something the city is agreeable with and the community is agreeable with," Bryant said.
The SPA developed an ambitious master plan 13 years ago to revamp its then-outdated cruise terminal and to transform the prime waterfront acreage surrounding it into a thriving commercial hub that showed shops, lodgings and dining establishments. Little has changed since then.
In addition to revisiting the 1996 plan, Cooper Robertson also must include improvements laid out in the post-Sept. 11 Maritime Transportation Security Act and work around federal flood-zone requirements.
Once the firm completes the plan, the SPA will seek development partners to help implement it.

Carson Valley Middle School student Serena Herup is looking forward to cheering on her fellow classmates as they perform in the district competition for Poetry Out Loud on Saturday night.
The national recitation contest is 6:30 p.m. at 88 Cups & More in the Minden Village.
"I always hope I will win, but you never know what will happen. It's all friendly competition," Serena said. "I hope that at least somebody from Douglas County goes and wins nationals for us."
This is the 14-year-old's first time participating in Poetry Out Loud. She will be reciting "Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky" by Lewis Carroll, and "Every Single Day" by John Straley.
"I really like acting a lot and I know when somebody's writing a poem they have a lot of feelings and expression in it, and I want to show that to other people," Serena said. "I just remember that this is all for fun and I love what I'm doing."
Ten middle school students and one Douglas High student will recite one poem in the first round of competition, with the finalists moving on to the second round and reciting another poem.
Competition Coordinator Susan Van Doren has been involved with Poetry Out Loud for four years. Every year she is amazed by the talent in Douglas County.
"The students are amazing. Every year it always surprises me which student steps up to the plate and does well," she said. "It's not always who you would think."
She also encouraged more students to participate in the poetry competition.
"The process of memorizing, performing and internalizing it in their mind gets them at a level of understanding they don't get just from reading a poem or writing a paper about a poem," she said.
The competition, presented in partnership with the Nevada Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Poetry Foundation, is part of a national program that encourages high school students to learn about poetry through memorization, performance, and competition.
The winner of the district competition will advance to the Nevada State Poetry Out Loud contest in Reno in March. In April, the Nevada champion will compete in the national finals in Washington, DC, where $50,000 in awards and school prizes will be distributed.
Attendance at 88 Cups & More is free and open to the public, although seating is limited. It is located at 1663 Lucerne Street in the Minden Village.
A list of approved poems for the students' use is online at www.poetryoutloud.org. For further information, call Susan Van Doren at 781-9508.

The war on drugs (marijuana included), Texas style
One thing surprised me about our editorial that ran Sunday about recalibrating the state's drug-sentencing laws: the level of disagreement from some of my colleagues. I'd call it vehement, in fact, and it took me by surprise. I'll get to that in a second.
The editorial — which I wrote — speaks for itself, calling on lawmakers to look at the breathtaking number of offenders warehoused behind bars in Texas and to consider options, like treatment. It would save taxpayers money and might keep more people from careers in crime.
Factoids, from the Texas Criminal Justice Coalition:
– Nine of every 10 drug arrests in Texas are for possession, not delivery or distribution.
– More than 125,000 people were arrested for possession in 2010, one-tenth of the total arrests for all crimes.
– About 30 percent of the 22,057 incoming Texas prison inmates were drug offenders in fiscal 2011, and about 75 percent of them were convicted of possession.
And here are facts from TDCJ on the total number of criminals either behind bars or under supervision last year:
Prison: 141,000
State jail: 12,000
Substance abuse treatment: 3,200
Community supervision: 413,000
Parole supervision: 81,000
County jails: 56,000
This is more than 700,000 people in "the system" for last year's snapshot. How many for drugs, I don't know, but you're into the hundreds of thousands.
Nationally, it's a similar picture. We published this, in an editorial marking the 40-year anniversary of the nation's "war on drugs":
At the same time, jails and prisons remain stuffed with drug offenders, with estimates that one in five of the nation's 2.4 million inmates are convicted users, dealers or traffickers.
So now two conservative forces — the Texas Association of Business and Texas Public Policy Foundation — say it's time to find a better way. I'm on board with that.
What surprised me is the strong disagreement from three colleagues (all parents, and spanning the political spectrum from liberal to moderate), especially given our editorial board's years-long support of medical marijuana in Texas.
I heard that lowering penalties for possessing small amounts would put us on a slippery slope toward decriminalization or legalization. I heard the dangers of marijuana as a gateway drug. I heard that marijuana is not a benign drug, as portrayed in popular culture (including by Barack Obama), when used by young people.
Still, I think our laws are out of whack. Possessing a few pinches of pot is classified with Class B misdemeanors like driving while intoxicated, inciting a riot, and making terroristic threats — things that menace or actually hurt others and can mean county jail time.
Re-classifying possession of a joint to a Class C misdemeanor puts it in a category with gambling and criminal mischief involving less than $50. There's no jail and a fine of up to $500.
There's one other Class C misdemeanor — minor in possession of alcohol — that's worth discussing here. I'm equally as concerned about a young person who gets his/her hands on dad's bottle of vodka as about a kid who scores a joint at the Friday night football game. Equally concerned, I said. I don't think that pot is necessarily more or less harmful.
Alcohol is a true gateway drug that terrifies me more than pot, actually. It's the only drug that leads to alcoholism and the ugly, tragic byproducts.
Anyway, in deference to one of my colleagues who seems more terrified by pot than I am of young people falling into the grips of alcohol (and I hope he never experiences alcoholism in his family), I'm going to pass along a link he said has good information on the effects of marijuana. It supposedly includes some of the latest and best research on marijuana and its effects.
Bottom line is I'd be worried if either of my teenaged grandkids were caught experimenting with either marijuana or alcohol, but I don't see how the one should bring down legal sanctions more severe than the other.
Pot possession should be on a par with minor in possession of alcohol, a Class C misdemeanor for small amounts.

"Hall Pass" R, 2:00, Kaahumanu 6 and Front Street Theaters.

They play a pair of bored husbands given the supreme gift from their wives: permission to take a week off from their monogamous wedding vows. Imagine their surprise when they discover that their appeal falls well short of their fantasies at the same time their wives (Christina Applegate and Jenna Fischer) are having a lot more fun striking the same bargain. It's tops at the box office despite being an early front runner for worst movie of the year.
"I Am Number Four" PG-13, 2:05, Maui Mall Megaplex, ends tonight at Kukui Mall 4 and Front Street Theaters.
Adapted from Pittacus Lore's best-selling sci-fi novel, the story follows a teen alien (Alex Pettyfer) trying to blend into high-school anonymity to evade pursuers trying to destroy him and his fellow visitors from another planet. Having super powers helps. The title refers to his place on the hit list. Timothy Olyphant, Teresa Palmer, Dianna Agron and Callan McAuliffe co-star; D.J. Caruso directs.
"Just Go With It" PG-13, 2:12, Maui Mall Megaplex, Kukui Mall 4 and Lahaina Wharf Cinemas.
Filmed at the Grand Wailea last spring, this romantic comedy stars Adam Sandler as a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon who pretends to be married to avoid making real commitments with the women he dates. Finally finding Miss Right (Brooklyn Decker), his ruse backfires, forcing him to enlist his office assistant (Jennifer Aniston) to pretend to be his soon-to-be-divorced wife, after he takes her and her kids on a Maui vacation. Some 500 Mauians show up in supporting roles with the Valley Isle providing familiar backdrops. Nicole Kidman, Nick Swardson and Dave Matthews co-star, along with musicians Hapa and Led Ka'apana. Dennis Dugan directs.
"Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" (3-D), G, 2:00, Kaahumanu 6.
Go on tour with the young music sensation in this 3-D concert filmed at performances in 2010. You'll be surrounded in the audience by the tween-age fans of the boyish sex symbol, whose co-stars include Boys II Men, Miley Cyrus, Sean Kingston, Ludacris, Jaden Smith, Usher and more. Directed by Jon Chu, there's also behind-the-scenes humor and old photos and home movies illuminating Justin's path to the top.
"The King's Speech" R, 1:58, Kukui Mall 4 and Maui Mall Megaplex.
The big winner Oscar night with well-deserved statues for screenplay, direction, best actor and best picture. With Colin Firth leading fellow Oscar nominees Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter, the wonderful historical drama tells of England's future King George VI, whose path to the throne is detoured by personal demons and debilitating speech impediment, and the treatment he receives from an unconventional Australian speech therapist. Superb performances laced with great humor make the film both inspiring and fun, even with the menace of Herr Hitlet preparing for war on England's doorstep reminding us of the grave matters at hand. It's the rare case of a feel-good movie that makes you feel smarter, too. Recommended!
"The Mechanic" R, 1:48, ends tonight at Maui Mall Megaplex.
No-nonsense English action star Jason Statham reinvents the methodical assassin role first played by Charles Bronson in 1972 and makes the role his own. Moving the action to New Orleans, he plays the professional killer who makes his work look like accidents. Despite his difficulties forming relationships, he gets drawn into a few amidst all the razor-sharp murders and random explosions going on periodically in the background. Donald Sutherland, Ben Foster and Tony Goldwyn co-star; Simon West directs.
"No Strings Attached" R, 2:03, ends tonight at Maui Mall Megaplex.
New Oscar winner Natalie Portman lightens up considerably for this romantic comedy in the age of "friends with benefits." She plays a young doctor who gets back in touch with Ashton Kutcher, a friend from childhood and college days who's now an aspiring TV writer. The title refers to their sexual agreement; the novelty is that it's her idea and he's the one who goes all mushy on her. Veteran Ivan Reitman directs a cast featuring Kevin Kline, Lake Bell, Greta Garwig, Ludacris and Jake M. Johnson. Despite so-so reviews, film is actually full of charm and wit, with Portman shining in the role usually reserved for Anne Hathaway or Katherine Heigl, and Kutcher displaying a good heart and nice comedic touch.
"Sanctum" R, 1:48. Maui Mall Megaplex (3-D).
An expedition mapping vast, mile-deep caves in Papua New Guinea encounters freak conditions that add to the dangers in this genre adventure piece directed by Australian Alister Grierson and produced by "Avatar" auteur James Cameron. Richard Boxburgh plays the cold-fish expedition leader, Rhys Wakefield plays his kinder-hearted son with Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Parkinson co-starring. Cameron, a fan of subterranean action ever since "The Abyss," tries out his 3-D techniques in this new realm, keeping the audience guessing which cast member will be next to go in the endless fight with the forces of nature.
"Unknown" PG-13, 2:08, Maui Mall Megaplex, Kukui Mall 4 and Front Street Theaters.
Although he is one of the most noble movie stars of our time, Liam Neeson is more fun as the greatest action hero since Matt Damon wandered into Bourne territory. Neeson is back in "Taken" mode as an American biologist in Berlin for a conference who barely escapes a harrowing car accident, spends four days in a coma in a hospital, then returns to find his wife (January Jones) pretending she's not his wife and Aidan Quinn claiming to be him. Once again, despite the reserved demeanor Neeson shows he's not the kind of guy to mess with, mixing his intelligence and nuance as an actor with a no-nonsense, no-regrets, no-prisoners approach to evening the score with whoever does him wrong. Diane Krueger is an able partner in all the action with Frank Langella, Bruno Ganz and Sebastian Koch co-starring and Spain's Jaume Sollett-Serra directing. Although the plot has some holes that reveal themselves after rethinking it all, the film still provides a fun-filled, adrenalized ride with Neeson shining once again as an action figure with a brain, a heart and a soul. Recommended.

JERUSALEM, Israel - Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman ordered Israel's ambassador to Switzerland, Ilan Elgar, to return to Jerusalem on Monday for meetings.
Lieberman's call was in protest of Swiss President Hans-Rudolf Merz's warm welcome to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the evening before the U.N.-sponsored Durban II racism conference in Geneva.
The two leaders met for dinner Sunday evening at a Geneva hotel to discuss diplomatic issues on "questions related to collaboration in the energy and economic sectors," a statement issued by the Swiss government read.
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said recalling the ambassador to Switzerland is in response to the invitation to "a racist and Holocaust denier who has spoken more than once about the need to wipe Israel off the map.
"A meeting by the president of a democratic country with a known Holocaust denier, who also calls for the destruction of Israel, is inconsistent with the values that Switzerland represents and that should be upheld," a Foreign Ministry statement read.
"Israel cannot ignore the fact that the conference being attended by the known Holocaust denier is taking place on the very same day that the Jewish people commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day," it read.
The Swiss president defended his meeting with Ahmadinejad in a radio interview on Monday.
"Switzerland is neutral and not part of any alliance," Merz said, noting that his country had traditionally played the role of a mediator.
At Monday's Cabinet meeting, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu said while Israelis honor the memory of those who died at the hand of the Nazi regime, a U.N.-sponsored conference features a Holocaust denier as its key speaker.
"While we remember the six million [Jews exterminated by the Nazis], a conference will be held in Switzerland, allegedly against racism. Its guest of honor is a Holocaust denier who does not conceal his plan to wipe Israel off the face of the earth," Netanyahu said.
"I congratulate those countries that chose to boycott the conference. Contrary to those dark days, today we have a strong Jewish state," he said, adding that it was unfortunate that "not everyone has learned the lesson of the Holocaust."

The 'Plot Against Pensions' Takes Aim At California
By Isaiah J. Poole
David Sirota, the author of the Institute for America's Future report on "The Plot Against Pensions" that detailed the right-wing collaboration to dismantle public pension programs around the country, is now reporting in Salon that "the Enron billionaire whose former company wrecked the Golden State's economy appears to be using a shadowy Texas front group to now try to loot the Golden State's public pension system."
That "Enron billionaire" is John Arnold, who "The Plot Against Pensions" exposes as the person collaborating with an arm of the Pew Charitable Trusts to promote the idea that there is a "public pension crisis" that must be "solved" by cutting benefits to workers and privatizing the plans themselves, turning them into profit centers for Wall Street fund managers.
CA propositions on the ballot Photo credit: James Durkee
Arnold's latest move was first reported by the Sacramento Bee, which wrote that a group called "Action Now Initiative" was tapped by San Jose, Calif., mayor Chuck Reed to do "policy analysis for statewide pension reform," in preparation for a ballot initiative campaign in 2014. The Bee reported that Action Now Initiative is at the same address as the Laura and John Arnold Foundation. OurFuture.org confirmed that both Laura Arnold and John Arnold are listed as directors on its 2011 tax-exemption form filed with the Internal Revenue Service.
Sirota writes in Salon:
As IRS financial reports show, Arnold has already been funneling money to right-wing groups in California that promote plans to slash retiree benefits. PR-wise, the effort has worked - Google "California" and "pension" and inevitably you will be hit with a wave of media sensationalism about how an alleged financial emergency in the Golden State means retiree benefits must be cut (even as far more expensive corporate welfare is preserved). Most of that news coverage doesn't mention any inconvenient facts that might debunk the hysteria.
With that as the backdrop, California voters are about to be hit with a wave of propaganda designed to scare them into signing off on a plan that would force workers to bear the burden of pension shortfalls, when the real culprits are politicians who shortchanged the pension funds so they could bankroll tax giveaways to corporations and the wealthy.
The implications for conservative ideologues like Arnold and the founders of the Pew Charitable Trusts, as well as for Wall Street vulture capitalists, are clear. Sirota writes: "Arnold almost certainly knows that because of the size of its economy, California often sets standards for the rest of the country" and, if he gets his way, "could create a pension-slashing domino effect in other states" that would be "a huge private profit opportunity" for Wall Street - and a big loss for workers.

Anyone with an ounce of financial acumen (which apparently Mr. Poole does not have) can tell you exactly what is wrong with the public pension systems. Unions have incredibly strong political influence in many Red States. They finance and staff the democrat's campaign. In turn, he rewards them for their support. In cases where the politician does not have the money for immediate pay raises, he makes a promise for the future by "sweetening" the pension (afterall, that politician who made the promise will be long gone).
This has gone on for decades. The consequences are now. We can either increase payments to pension funds (note: California is broke as are most cities), seek to get a higher return (easier said than done), or cut the pensions. This is just reality and to say anything else is, basically, a lie.

Denton man faces animal cruelty charge after trying to kill dog
A Denton man was arrested Wednesday after police say he tried to kill a dog by breaking its neck because he didn't want it anymore, Denton police announced in a news release Thursday.
Police said when Richard Garrett Simms, 21, could not kill the dog, his roommate stabbed it and placed its body in a nearby dumpster.
Simms faces a charge of animal cruelty, police said. The roommate has not been charged at this time.
Denton Animal Control received an anonymous complaint several days ago that someone had killed a dog, because they didn't want the animal anymore and placed it in a dumpster.
On Oct. 28 an animal control officer found the dumpster in the 400 block of Simmons Street with the deceased dog inside.
The dog's body was examined where it appeared to have stab wounds on either side of its rib cage.
Denton police contacted a residence nearby the dumpster and determined in their investigation that the man's roommate, Simms, had been watching the dog.
The roommate told police Simms tried to kill the dog by breaking its neck after he did not want to care for it anymore.
The roommate then stabbed the dog to put it out of its misery, police said.
Simms turned himself into police Wednesday and was later released on a $500 bond.
The investigation is ongoing.

Hi friends. I hope you have all been having a fantastic week so far. I am kind of bummed its raining after having such a beautiful week last week, but I guess we need the rain since its been such a dry winter so far! I will be toughing it out with rain boots and a venti latte. Now if only I could stay inside all day! HA. Wishful thinking I suppose.
Today I have a shoot from a couple weeks ago with the lovely Jenny and Ian. I love these two for so many reasons! First, its because when Jenny emailed me about her shoot, she used the words "Mad Max" and "Sequin". LOVE. Jenny wanted something different for her Bump shoot and that is exactly what we did. I love it when you guys are all creative and stuff! Fantastic! Jenny (fashionista) really did not want to lose fashion from her life when she became pregnant. So shes been rocking it out, heels and all, for eight months now. I am impressed. She hasnt even purchased one maternity garment. She has been putting together her outfits each day with items that still represent her style while allowing her to be pregnant. Jenny – I love this!
When Jenny and Ian planned their shoot, they wanted a little seclusion. Eventually they decided to draw from a "Mad Max" theme and they chose the beach down in Half Moon Bay. But not just any beach. A secluded one. Ian led the way as Jenny and I hiked down the cliff to this beach. I wasnt sure how we were going to get back up, but once we were down there I didnt care. It was a beautiful beach with little nooks for shooting. We were slightly detoured by the sand storm of the century but Jenny and Ian were amazing sports. Jenny's sequin dress did not disappoint! The sun reflected off of it nicely and I love the pretty glow it has in the photos. After we finished up at the beach we hiked back up, took some pics along the path, and headed back to a quaint little hotel in downtown Half Moon Bay.
At the hotel Jenny did a quick outfit change and then we played around in the hotel room. I love how these turned out and I had such a great time shooting. We used the light from outside as the sun went down on such a beautiful day. It was great to end the shoot inside a nice warm hotel room too! Jenny and Ian – I love you guys. I cant wait to meet your baby when he makes his debut. I will see you soon, hopefully with baby at the hospital. xoxo

Using PowerShell to create new sites based on site-scoped WebTemplates
WebTemplates are definitely a powerful new construct in our SharePoint 2010 toolbox. WebTemplates definitely come in handy as they can be deployed as sandbox-compatible features.
Creating a site based on a web template is pretty straightforward via the UI. Basically it just shows up as another site template option. As a user creating a site, you'd never the know the difference between a farm-scoped or site-scoped WebTemplate. However, if you want to use PowerShell, you will notice that your PS scripts will take on a slightly different shape based on how the WebTemplate is scoped.
If the WebTemplate is deployed as a farm-scoped feature, then you can easily use New-SPWeb in the following manner:
where GUID represents the parent feature ID.
If the WebTemplate is deployed as a site-scoped feature, then your PowerShell needs to be adjusted. Otherwise, if you attempt to use new-spweb, you'll get the following error message: Template is not found and is not applied. This effectively means the cmdlet could not locate a farm-level template to apply to the new site.
For example...
There are two ways to circumvent this problem:
- Once the site is created, call ApplyWebTemplate
- Before the site created, grab a reference to the appropriate WebTemplate and provide it as a value to the SPWebCollection.Add method on the parent site.
Calling ApplyWebTemplate
$url = "http://sitecollection/site1"
$w = new-spweb $url
Calling SPWebCollection.Add
$url = "http://sitecollection"
$w = get-spweb $url
$template = $w.GetAvailableWebTemplates(1033) | ? { $_.name -eq "{GUID}#WebTemplateName" }
$w.Webs.Add("site1", "sample site 1", "sample description", 1033, $template, $false, $false)
The difference between the two methods basically boils down to the language selection for the new site. With the simple call to ApplyWebTemplate, the new site uses the same language as the parent. By grabbing the reference to the web template beforehand, you have more control.
SharePoint Conference 2011 Wrap Up
This year's SharePoint Conference was probably one of the most interesting conferences that Microsoft has hosted in the past few years. The attendance was solid and presentations covered the spectrum from 101 fundamentals over all the way over to nitty-gritty details.
Monday morning I had a chance to present on managing the Sandboxed Code Service (SP376). I was a little skeptical that we'd fill a room with 700 seats, but I was very pleasantly surprised to see the room fill up before we switched on the microphone. There were a ton of good questions afterwards as well. Thanks to everyone who attended and posted all the great messages on Twitter. If you have any questions I was unable to answer, please feel free to reach out.
The conference was also a great chance to run into folks. I saw many old friends – some that I haven't seen literally in years – as well as many clients and former Critical Path Training admin and dev students. It's always amazing to see the positive energy!
The Aptillon team also had record number of presentations at the conference. We had 7 presentations by 6 different teammates. As a company partner, that is definitely very cool stat however the nicer fact is that we had a chance to hang out. Since we're spread out all over the US and constantly on the go, it's rare to have more than 2 people in the same room at the same time.
There was also a record number of Microsoft Certified Masters from across the globe at the conference. How cool is that? I remember the days when Spence and I were the only MCMs who weren't employed by Microsoft. MSL also announced a new certification – Microsoft Certified Architect. It's really nice to see program growing!
Great conversations all around. New projects, new ideas, confirmation of design decisions... chatting about the sandbox, helping folks get a better perspectives on PowerPivot and it's amazing potential, the cloud, getting out of the sandbox (aka azure), Windows Phone 7, watching cloud-servicing applications such as Sharevolution hit their stride, building new partnerships... truly exciting stuff!
CKS:API Beta 3 Release Notes
CKS Beta 3 launched this week to go along with my session at the SharePoint Conference. I really wanted this to be a production-ready 1.0 release and I think it's close, but I'd like to have feedback from more folks to make sure I haven't overlooked things. There's still some tightening up I'd like to do and a few rough spots in the code but nothing too bad. I'll get them cleaned up soon, too. I'd really like some feedback, though, so please kick the tires and let me know what you think.
What is CKS:API?
CKS:API is a library for use by developers to address the cross-cutting concerns of logging, instrumentation, exception handling and code contract support. It is a library for use, not a standalone, fully-baked product. Full source code is available on the Codeplex site: cksapi.codeplex.com.
New Functionality
Using CKS:API hasn't changed much since the beta 2 release. There have been a few additions that I'll cover here. For information on other functionality, please see the beta 2 release notes. I'll also include a detailed usage walkthrough here to help you test things out. But first, the new stuff:
- Logging functionality - a couple of new methods have been added to the logging classes:
- DumpVariablesInDebug/DumpVariablesInRelease: Two similar methods, any calls to the former get removed by the compiler when you compile a Release build so they are not included in your production code. Feel free to use it liberally. Calls to the latter are not removed from your production code so they will execute and could slow things down if overused. Just be careful. In a nutshell, these two calls allow you to write information about your variables to your log (farm or sandbox) at any point in your code. See below for a usage example.
- WriteElapsedTimeStart/WriteElapsedTimeStop: another pair of related methods. They allow you to log timings for arbitrary events in your code. You call the first at the beginning of something you want to time and pass in a descriptive name. You get back an ID. call the second at the event of the event you want timed and pass in the ID. The timing information will be written out to the log.
- Monitor: This new method is related to the above two. It gives you that ability to record timing information to the log. The difference is that in Farm solutions, this will use SPMonitoredScope whereas in Sandbox Solutions, this will use the above two methods, since SPMonitoredScope is not available in the Sandbox. I would expect that this would be used more often, with the above two coming into play only when you need more control or there isn't an appropriate delegate for your needs).
- Sandbox Logging Configuration: You can now control the amount of information written to the sandbox log by setting a property called "CKSAPI_LogLevel" on the RootFolder of the SandboxLoggingList. The SandBoxLogger checks this property to determine whether to add each entry to the log. The SandboxTest project includes a rudimentary webpart that allows you to set this value. I'd like to clean this area up a bit before the final release. It is critically important to use this efficiently to avoid using too many resources in your sandbox solutions.
- SPDisposeCheck Integration: I was running SPDisposeCheck against the code previously to check for Dispose problems, but now its fully integrated and I'm using the SPDisposeCheckIgnore attribute as appropriate to avoid false positives.
- Office365/SharePoint Online: For the first time with this release I started testing against Office 365. Previously I was testing only in my local development sandbox. I started using the Office 365 FxCop tools from Codeplex (http://o365fxcoprules.codeplex.com/) to validate that my code would run in Office 365 and found that there were a few items I needed to change in the code. I came across a couple of additional situations where Office 365 would choke on the code and I'm working with Kimmo Forss (the author of the rules project) to get my updates included in the Codeplex project.
- NotifyAdministrators – it is now possible to create an entry in a separate SharePoint list for events that happen in your processes. Combine this with SharePoint's support for alerts/notifications and you now have an easy way to notify administrators (or really anyone) of an event happening in your code that they may need to know about.
Other than that, there was more cleanup and tightening of the code. As I mentioned, there's still more to go here.
CKS:API Usage Walkthrough
To begin working with CKS:API there are a couple of steps that you need to take. I've tried to keep these as few as possible.
- Include the CKS:API assemblies in your package so that they get deployed. The CKSAPI assembly is required for all projects, you'll also need either CKS.FarmInstrumentation.dll or CKS.SandboxInstrumentation.dll
- Add References to the appropriate DLLs in Visual Studio
- Now we need to add code to initialize our logging environment. For all projects, add code similar to the following to a Site Collection scoped Feature:
- For Farm Solutions only, add code similar to the following to a Farm-scoped Feature:
- Add the following using statements to your code:
- Now you can start using CKS:API in your code. See the sections below for details on the various pieces of functionality and how you can use them.
Simple Logging
Writing to the logs for either Sandbox or Farm solutions is simply a matter of making a call to either of the Write overrides:
The former is obviously quicker – all you need to do is specify the actual message to be written. It will written to the log with a category of "General" and a severity of "Information".
The latter override allows you to specify a category and a severity. The CKSLoggingCategory enumeration defines 58 different categories currently and you can add more if the ones I've provided don't meet your needs. Examine the CKSLoggingCategory.cs file for the existing values. (By adding new items to the enumeration, they will be included in the Central Administration "Manage Diagnostic Logging" facility – more on that later).
The LoggingSeverity enumeration defines 5 possible values: Information, Timings, Warning, Error, Critical Error. They are used to control when information is written to logs, according to how the logging is configured in your environment.
Farm logging writes to either the ULS or the WIndows Event Log. Sandbox logging writes to a standard SharePoint list created in the root of the site collection.
Logging in the Sandbox
If you're working in the Farm, there's nothing you need to do to prepare for logging. The above will suffice. Sandbox logging is a bit different, though. In order to maintain performance and reduce the Resource impact of running this code in the Sandbox, we batch the sandbox log entries in a List<string> variable and flush them out to the SharePoint list. In order to support this, we need to tell the logger to begin and end our batch. We do this with calls to <SandboxLogger>.BeginScope() and <SandboxLogger>.EndScope(). My recommendation is to put these calls in your page/control lifecycle events as opposed to putting them in each method:
Instrumentation sits on top of logging. Logging is simply a facility for recording data. Instrumentation is the capturing of data that will be meaningful when analyzing or debugging your code. CKS:API provides several facilities for supporting instrumentation:
Dumping Variables
When debugging your application, it is often useful to know the values of some variables when an exception happened. The two methods DumpVariablesInDebug and DumpVariablesInRelease allow us to do this. See the beginning of this post for the difference between these tow methods. Using them works exactly the same, though:
You make the call to the DumpVariablesInxxx method and pass in a collection of CKSVariableWrapper objects. The CKSVariableWrapper object allows you to specify:
- the name of the variable (
- the current value of the variable
- (optionally) a string collection of property names on an object variable that you want to dump.
In the code snippet above, we're dumping three variables: AN SPList, a string and an Int. For the SPList, we're explicitly stating that we want to dump out the values of the Title, ItemCount and CanReceiveEMail properties. For the string and int variables, there are no properties to dump, so we simply dump out the values of these variables. The end result of this call is:
Another common need when debugging is to know how long certain pieces of my code are taking to run. While most of the time, we would want to do this with our full Load Tests (and we all do load testing, right?), there are still times when we want to see some basic timing information in regular runs of our code. CKS:API provides for this. Begin timing by creating a GUID variable and calling the logger.WriteElapsedTimeStart method. You pass in a string value that uniquely identifies the particular event/events you want to time. You get back a unique identifier that identifies this timing instance. Ending a timing requires you to call logger.WriteElapsedTimeEnd and pass in the GUID you got back previously. CKS:API will now record the elapsed time between your start call and your end call.
Here's the code:
And here's the end result in my logger (the ULS log is shown, the sandbox log would be similar):
Debug Logging
We're interested in different information when we're actively coding and debugging our code than when we're running that code in production. We potentially want to see a lot more detail about our running processes than what we want to have logged in production. However, we don't want to have to go through and rip out all of that extra logging before compiling a Release build. Instead, we take advantage of Visual Studio's conditional compilation functionality to have the code excluded when we compile in Release mode. The following methods make use of this:
- Logging Method details: WriteDebugMethodStart and WriteDebugMethodEnd work in conjunction to log when we entered and exited a method. Using them is simple:
- Logging Debug messages: The WriteDebug method allows you to add messages to the log in a Debug build but the call is stripped out in Release build so the code never executes:
One comment about all of the debug methods – it is possible to use the normal Debug.Write calls in Visual Studio to achieve a similar end. The reason this functionality exists in CKS:API is that it allows you to have all of your logging in one place, along with the out of the box SharePoint log entries (in the case of the Farm logger). I find that a little easier than having some information in my log and some in the Visual Studio debug window.
Exception Handling
The Exception Handling in CKS:API hasn't changed at its core, but the approach developers take to it has changed a bit in this release. Before looking at the developer experience, here's a quick refresher on the user experience:
Users will either see this:
or this:
depending on what the developer does. In the background, a much more detailed error message is written to the logs.
New in this release is that developers can now override the color of the status bar and the text that shows up on the status bar. If they don't provide values for them, defaults are used.
Developers can make use of the Exception library in CKS:API as follows:
They can catch any type of Exception and process it via this mechanism. In the initialization code for the CKSExceptionDetails object, the developer can specify:
- The Display (shown): can be Dialog, StatusBar or None
- The control that threw the exception
- The category with which to classify the error – using the CKSLoggingCategory enumeration discussed above
- The severity of the exception – using the LoggingSeverity enumeration discussed above
- The StatusBarColor – using the CKSStatusBarColor enumeration
- The User Text – override the default friendly error message shown to the user.
Code Contracts
CKS:API includes a rudimentary implementation of code contracts. It is not nearly as robust as what is available in .NET4, but it will help get you to start thinking that way. The implementation of Code Contracts didn't change in this release. One thing I would like to do before releasing a 1.0 release is to use the Code Contracts more throughout CKS:API. Right now, usage is a little spotty.
Code Contracts allow you to explicitly state what your software requires in order to operate properly. For CKS:API, this integrates with the Exception handling functionality to throw a specific error if the contract requirements are not met. This is implemented as a control class along with a bunch of validations, which are implemented as extension methods on various objects in the .Net framework.
In general, using a code contract consists of calling the RequiresThat method of the CodeContract class and supplying a condition to be checked. For example, the following code will ensure that the variable pageName is not null or an empty string:
The comparison is functionally equivalent to
but by using the code contract, we also get the exception handling built in as well as opportunities for additional logging if we so desire. Preliminary performance testing indicates that the first usage of a code contract is marginally slower than the equivalent code (due to the loading of the additional assembly?) but subsequent usage in a request incurs no performance hit.
If the contract is not satisfied, we will get a log entry similar to the following (in a Farm Solution):
(You would get a similar log entry in a Sandbox solution.) Because we're using the exception framework in CKS:API, the user sees a nice user-friendly message as we saw previously.
Currently, the following validations are supported as extensions to specific objects:
|Double & Float
Question: Each validation currently begins with the prefix "Validation" which makes them easily discoverable, but personally I don't like what it does to the code readability – it makes the code stilted. What do you think – keep the prefix or drop it?
There is also a related piece of functionality in the Code Contract part of CKS:API – the ability to simply perform a check of a validation without throwing the error:
Check.ThatAllAreNotNull(SPContext.Current, myVar, myVar2)
This makes use of the same contract framework, but instead of throwing an error, it simply returns a boolean true if the check passes, or false if it fails. All of the same validations are supported.
That pretty much closes out the CKS:API Beta 3 Release notes. I would like to publish a 1.0 production-ready release by the end of October, so please give it a whirl and let me know any feedback – good or bad.
Remember that this is a beta, but please post any issues to the Issue Tracker on Codeplex, or any questions to the Discussion forum
Various pieces of the CKS:API functionality would not have been possible if various members of the SharePoint community had not shared their work. Thanks to the following folks for their help, it really helped me to finalize a couple of the tricky bits, especially related to some of the intricacies of the SPDiagnosticsServiceBase:
1. Andrew Connell
2. Todd Carter
4. Jürgen Bäurle
5. Andy Burns
I need to dig up the links to their blogs/articles and will get them posted here in a quick edit soon (I'm trying to get this post pushed out before my SPC session so I'm a little short on time ).

New Jersey Senate panel OK's tuition bill for those in US illegally
A New Jersey Senate committee has approved a bill that would allow those who are in the country illegally to qualify for in-state tuition at state colleges and universities.
The measure, however, remains stalled in the Assembly, and it may not go before a budget panel until late August.
The Senate Higher Education committee approved the measure Thursday after hearing testimony from immigrants who struggled to pay for school at the out-of-state rate.
To be eligible, a student must have attended a New Jersey public high school for at least three years and have a diploma or the equivalent. They also must submit an affidavit stating they have filed or will file an application to legalize their immigration status as soon as they are eligible.

Dave Richards: Easy Street leads to country
Not everybody agrees on the ideal place to live, but the address is pretty clear cut. That'd be Easy Street.
Who doesn't want to end up there?
Rob Vance knows; he's already livin' the life. He recently re-formed Easy Street, a country-rock band that will play its first Erie shows in six years (not counting two gigs as Tyson Bowman's backup band) tonight and Saturday at the BW Saloon in Fairview.
Vance is a veteran musician who's played in roughly a billion bands over the years, including a few hundred simultaneously. He's currently in Acoustic Gypsies, for instance, as well as classic-rock band Antyx.
But his songwriting sensibility leans toward the type of music Nashville favors these days, which is basically the type that was called rock and roll when Poco and Pure Prairie League played it in the 1970s.
"Today's country is a lot like yesterday's rock," Vance said. "A lot of it reminds me of the Eagles, with a lot of harmonies."
Easy Street will favor upbeat current artists such as Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, Sugarland, Thompson Square, Kenny Chesney, Civil Wars and Trent Tomlinson, while sprinkling in an occasional classic-rock song or old chestnut by Johnny Cash or Hank Williams.
The group can cover both male and female powered material. In addition to Vance -- who sings and plays guitar -- Easy Street includes Amy Shallenberger, who is a multitasker like Vance. She's also in the blues band the Riffriders and Acoustic Gypsies.
Other band members include bassist Mike Bidwell, guitarist Ken Walters and drummer Steph Sanford. Everyone sings, so they can harmonize for days on covers, as well as on Vance's originals.
Vance has been testing his country-leaning songs at OurStage.com, which has 4.5 million listeners. They vote on which songs they like most by new and emerging artists in monthly competitions; the winner earns cash. You can bet music bigwigs monitor the site for potential hits.
Vance's barroom, honky-tonky flavored "Ride Like the Wind" did especially well.
"It made it to the No. 2 spot out of 250 entries, so that was kind of encouraging," Vance said. "It's one of those things I didn't publicize. I wanted to see how the song would do on its own. I didn't want a bunch of friends voting."
Vance is also working with an A&R company, which forwarded another original to a major Nashville player. He's making inroads. In the meantime, he's glad to have his toes back in country with gigs this weekend.
"It's a chance to get the band in front of people again and into the country scene," he said.

Paul Franks
Key facts
Full Name: Paul John Franks
Born: February 3 1979 , Mansfield
Country: England
County: Nottinghamshire
Other teams: England A
ODI debut: England v West Indies, Trent Bridge, Jul 20 2000
Batting Style: Left-hand bat
Bowling Style: Right-arm fast-medium
A veteran of many campaigns for Nottinghamshire, Franks started his career with a bang in 1997 when he claimed the county's first hat-trick for a decade in what was his first full season. Fast bowler Franks won the County Championship title twice with Nottinghamshire, in 2005 and 2010. He was expected to have a full and fruitful England career as well, having won the Under-19 World Cup, but a knee injury curtailed his progress. Fittingly, perhaps, his only appearance for England so far came at Trent Bridge in a one-day international in July 2000, though he went wicketless for 48 runs.

Bouchon has been created for Letraset by the French husband and wife design team, Roselyne and Michel Besnard. Inspired by bitmapped letter images, the types evoke a futuristic appearance and a style very much at the cutting edge of fashion which is just perfect for anything that targets the young, lifestyle conscious community. Both weights have been carefully designed and include a subtle texture to the edges of the characters to ensure that there is a certain individuality brought to a basic style that could so easily have been cold and impersonal. The Bold weight is certainly the more versatile of the two, having the qualities that make it legible in both the capitals and owercase from very large to fairly small point sizes. By contrast, the Light weight, with the "gaps" in the letterform construction, has perhaps more graphic appeal but is much more suited to use at the larger point sizes.

Deluxe Horse Stable Play Set
Product Rating:
|Overall Rating
Product Review (submitted on June 24, 2013):
It seems like every year for her birthday or Christmas, my 5-year-old daughter wants a horse! We live in the city, so of course there is no way we could ever get her an actual horse, but we did buy her this play set. She absolutely loves it too! It comes with 4 different types of horses and their respective baby horses, and different horse accessories like a trough and hay bales. The barn is also beautifully painted, and there are stables for the horses inside. This is a great product, our daughter loves it, and we are very glad we bought it!

Scholarly Communication@WSU
Preserving Access to Scholarly Literature
In an ongoing effort to preserve access to the scholarly literature, the WSU libraries have begun investigating two digital preservation and archiving systems:
(From the LOCKSS website...) "LOCKSS (for "Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe") is open source software that provides librarians with an easy and inexpensive way to collect, store, preserve, and provide access to their own, local copy of authorized content they purchase. Running on standard desktop hardware and requiring almost no technical administration, LOCKSS converts a personal computer into a digital preservation appliance, creating low-cost, persistent, accessible copies of e-journal content as it is published. Since pages in these appliances are never flushed, the local community's access to that content is safeguarded. Accuracy and completeness of LOCKSS appliances is assured through a robust and secure, peer-to-peer polling and reputation system. "
(From the Portico website...) "The scale and complexity of the infrastructure and operation necessary to preserve core electronic scholarly literature exceeds that which can be supported by any individual library or institutional budget. After extensive, iterative discussion in the library and publisher communities, the Portico electronic archiving service has been shaped in response to this need. Initial support for Portico is provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Ithaka, The Library of Congress, and JSTOR. "
