The art of cut paper is highlighted in a new exhibit that premieres May 17 at The Noyes Gallery in Hammonton. "Clip, Cut; Paper Thin" features artists who have taken the art to extreme levels and have had their works exhibited worldwide.
The public is invited to meet the artists and view their creations at a free opening reception 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday.
Artists Beatrice Coron, Jupi Das, Rebecca Gilbert, Reni Gower, Natalia Ivancevich and Patricia Brentano present a mixture of contemporary and more traditional designs in cut paper. Their works reflect the old traditions of Sanijhi, Kiri-e, Scherenschnitte, Papel Picado and many other paper cutting techniques.
Das, for example, who was born in India and now lives and works in the Philadelphia area, is a self-taught artist who mixes various styles from Japanese, Chinese, German and Swiss paper-cutting traditions. Her works are so well received that she was asked by the White House to create a one-of-a-kind Christmas ornament for the national tree in 2002.
The entire exhibit runs to June 19.
The satellite gallery of the Noyes Museum of Art of Stockton College is located at 5 S. Second St., Hammonton. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays; 1 to 8 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays. For admission fees call 609-561-8006 or go to www.noyes

ZERO DARK THIRTY - Real Life Stories Behind the Film
Zero Dark Thirty is a film I have been looking forward to since it was announced. The Hurt Locker is one of my favorite films of all time, so to get a look at one of the most controverisal events of all time from the same team... well, that makes me incredibly happy.
Sony has done a great job with keeping footage and plot details under wraps, but to build up hype Nightline did a segment on the upcoming political war thriller. We get to see 2 Behind the Scenes clips shedding more light on what exactly will be up on the big screen this winter. There's also some new footage included in the segments.
Man... the Oscars are going to be close this year!

Newest Leaves Tank
After reading through Walker's sleeveless template, I liked the idea of a go-to piece in a bright, lightweight yarn that could be easily layered under a blazer or worn on its own. It was springtime when I first started knitting this tank and the leaves on the trees outside of my apartment matched the yarn perfectly. To stabilize the edges of the tank, I worked several rows of crochet, folded it in half, and then sewed it down. One could easily work 3-stitch applied I-cord or a few rows of any non-curling knitted border for a similar effect.

In-office procedures using ultrasound or radiofrequency technology can also minimize the look of loose neck skin. Thermage uses radiofrequency heat to penetrate the deeper layers below skin's surface, which tightens and smoothes skin, while a treatment called Ulthera uses ultrasound heat to accomplish the same goal. A new procedure called Exilis is also a promising option: "It combines both radio wave frequency heat and ultrasound heat to melt fat and tighten skin," Francesca Fusco, MD, a New York City-based dermatologist, told us.
But if non-invasive procedures like injectables or laser treatments (or a combination of the two) don't make your neck gobble go away, your doctor may suggest an isolated neck lift or a mid-face lift that includes tightening the neck.
"The procedures allow us to eliminate excess fat under the chin, as well as remove the extra skin that causes turkey neck," says Victoria Karlinsky, M.D., a New York City-based cosmetic surgeon. "It's done under general anesthesia and recovery usually takes about a week. Most people are able to get back to work or their normal daily activities after that time."

In the past week, I have dipped into my savings pool, and have also dipped into my margin by buying more Target (TGT). I was also thinking of buying more Exxon Mobil (XOM) and General Mills (GIS), but I stopped myself. Given the fact that Warren Buffett announced he had amassed a large position in Exxon Mobil, it was a good idea to just wait for the initial euphoria to calm down a little.
I realized that I need to replenish my savings pool, which should have 3-6 months of savings in cash. I also need to plan for my SEP IRA contribution in 2014, plus any estimated taxes I would owe for 2013. The SEP IRA is part of my plan to cut tax expenses as much as I can. As part of this tax minimization strategy, I am also funding a Roth each year. My funding for 2013 is complete, and I just finished up building the allocation for 2013 this week.
As a result, I should really not make much in terms of stock investments at least until early 2014. I have a put on Coca-Cola (KO) that I sold a few months, which could result in some cash outlay if exercised in January 2014.
I still am finding some value, like in the case of Target, Exxon Mobil and General Mills, where I would like to build out a decent sized position. I guess I would have to wait, which could probably mean that I face an above average risk of missing out if they keep going higher.
Incidentally, my top two holdings are also attractively valued at the moment — Kinder Morgan Inc (KMI) and Philip Morris (PM). Unfortunately, I have too much allocated to them already, which means I would have to hold off on adding to my positions there.
Target operates general merchandise stores in the United States. This dividend champion has rewarded shareholders with higher dividends for 46 years in a row. Over the past decade, Target has managed to raise dividends by 18.60% per year. Currently, the stock is attractively valued at 16 times earnings and yields 2.60%. Check my analysis of Target for more details.
Exxon Mobil
Exxon Mobil engages in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas, and manufacture of petroleum products. This dividend champion has rewarded shareholders with higher dividends for 31 years in a row. Over the past decade, Exxon Mobil has managed to raise dividends by 9% per year.
In addition, Exxon Mobil is one of the largest and most consistent share buyback programs in Corporate America. Between 2003 and 2013, the number of shares decreased from 6.66 billion to 4.64 billion. Currently, the stock is attractively valued at 12.50 times earnings and yields 2.60%. If you can wait until you get slightly better entry prices after the enthusiasm from Warren Buffett's recent purchase wanes, you might get better entry yields at 2.80% or so. Check my analysis of Exxon Mobil for more details.
General Mills
General Mills produces and markets branded consumer foods in the United States and internationally. This dividend achiever has rewarded shareholders with higher dividends for 10 years in a row. Over the past decade, General Mills has managed to raise dividends by 8.70% per year. Currently, the stock is attractively valued at 17.50 times forward earnings and yields 3%. Check my analysis of General Mills for more details.

On behalf of President Obama and the people of the United States, I am delighted to send best wishes to the people of the Republic of Kiribati as you celebrate your nation's independence this July 12.
Following Kiribati's independence in 1979, a treaty of friendship was signed between our two countries and throughout the last 32 years our two nations have grown even closer. Today, we are working together to curb the effects of climate change, manage our fisheries in sustainable ways, and support regional security through our Shiprider agreement. Just last month, a United States Government delegation represented by Assistant Secretary Kurt Campbell, USAID Assistant Administrator Nisha Biswal, Brigadier General Richard Simcock and Admiral Patrick Walsh traveled to Kiribati to discuss a wide range of issues of mutual concern.
The United States is committed to this relationship and to a brighter future for all our people. We wish everyone in Kiribati a happy holiday celebration and continued peace and prosperity in the coming year.

Springtime in a Small Town
Less than a year after Japanese troops withdraw from China at the end of World War II, Yuwen remains despondent within the confines of her small, ravaged town. Her ailing husband, Dai Liyan, sleeps in a separate bed (in a separate room), and the couple has long given up the thought of having children. Enter Zhang Zhichen, Dai Liyan's old friend from college, who falls in love with Yuwen. The Dai household will never be the same again.

Despite the volumes that have been written about broadband and the changing world -- including much that has been published under the banner of the Digital Communities program -- I'm not sure the relationship between the broadband stimulus and a healthy U.S. economy is broadly understood.
How many simply viewed the $787 billion stimulus package as a stopgap measure to create immediate jobs rather than an opportunity to reform and retool the U.S. economy for a 21st-century marketplace?
According to Cisco CEO John Chambers, the country can't accomplish such reform unless it has the infrastructure to support it.
Writing on technology blog GigaOM, Chambers suggested that 100 Mbps broadband to the home -- which both Japan and South Korea are already approaching -- could be an essential vehicle to maintain U.S. competitiveness. This will, he added, enable new collaboration at a profound level, radically changing the very way we think.
Some efforts in the past have used real numbers and realistic projections to back up broad visions like this. According to a 2007 report from the Brookings Institution called The Effects of Broadband Deployment on Output and Employment: "For every one percentage point increase in broadband penetration in a state, employment is projected to increase by 0.2 to 0.3 percent per year. For the entire U.S. private nonfarm economy, this suggests an increase of about 300,000 jobs, assuming the economy is not already at 'full employment.'"

Eyre de Lanux, born Elizabeth Eyre, (March 20, 1894 - September 8, 1996), was an American artist, writer, and art deco designer who created lacquered furniture and geometric patterned rugs in Paris during the 1920s. She was born in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, and studied art at the Art Students League in Manhattan.
Personal relationships Edit
In 1918, de Lanux met and married Pierre de Lanux, a French writer and diplomat, who was in America on a visit, and the two would later have one daughter, Anne. World War I had just ended when the two married, and they immediately moved to Paris. They moved in the literary circles of Andre Gide, Ernest Hemingway, and Bernard Berenson. Though married, de Lanux was bisexual.
She is best known as having been one of the many long-term lesbian lovers of writer and artist Natalie Barney.[1] The two met through common friends, at Barney's popular Paris Salon and became an on-again-off-again couple for many years.
Due in part to Jean Chalon's early biography of Barney, published in English as Portrait of a Seductress, she has become more widely known for her many relationships than for her writing or her salon.[2] She once wrote out a list, divided into three categories: liaisons, demi-liaisons, and adventures.
Colette, an actress, was a demi-liaison, while the artist and furniture designer Eyre de Lanux, with whom she had an off-and-on affair for several years, was listed as an adventure. While Barney certainly took other lovers while she and de Lanux were involved romantically, it is unknown as to whether de Lanux did the same. What is known is that even after the affair ended, the two remained close friends.
Her designs first came into notice during the early 1920s, and were often exhibited with those of designers Eileen Gray and Jean-Michel Frank. While still in France, she wrote short stories of her European travels. In 1955, her husband died. Shortly afterward, she returned to the U.S., and in the 1960s she wrote for Harper's Bazaar.
In her later years she wrote and illustrated a number of children's books. She died at the age of 102, at the Dewitt Nursing Home in Manhattan.

BYOD is nothing new, but the potential effects on businesses are changing fast. Ten years ago, the occasional BYOD request came from an "early adopter" asking to use a personal laptop for work, possibly before the company itself had been computerized. Today, practically every company is using technology, but then so is practically every employee, tradesman, and homeowner. And this year's smartphones are next year's "wearable computers" with the Internet built in. BYOD is here to stay, so you might as well start thinking about how to integrate employee-owned technology with company systems.When it comes to office technology, adoption is everything. If people are unwilling or unable to use the systems you set up, the whole initiative will never get off the ground.

Since taking office in 2006 my office has been one of the leaders in the state in reducing the number of arrest warrants by implementing aggressive and creative tactics.
Along with that responsibility, we have provided a level of security to the Circuit Courthouse that is second to none. The dedication of our team, both sworn and civilian, has allowed our service to the citizens to be no less than outstanding. Over the past 11 years, we have forged excellent partnerships to fight crime with our local law enforcement agencies in the Baltimore-Metropolitan area, the Comptroller's Office, FBI, and the DEA. We have expanded our canine unit, introduced new technology to the agency, provided state of the art training to our deputies, and have been recognized as one of the most innovative law enforcement agencies in the state.
Our office has put forth many successful ways to reduce warrants, catch Dead Beat parents, serve Domestic Violence orders, keep the Circuit Courthouse safe, and keep up with our endless civil operations tasks. Our innovative efforts have included shrewd arrest stings to lure in wanted criminals using legal fake business disguises such as "Flowers by Ron", and "Keystone Candigram". Another very successful tool has been the Anne Arundel's Most Wanted cable program where we showcase wanted people and Dead Beat parents. Still another ingredient to our success has been the partnership we have established with the Capital Gazette Newspaper. Twice weekly the paper publishes, free of charge, a list of wanted individuals. Like our other programs, this too has proven to be a very valuable tool.
Recently, I came up with an idea which was crafted into a bill and became the first law of its kind in the United States of America. The law stated, if a person was wanted for a criminal offense and was due a Maryland State Tax Refund, that person's refund would be withheld until his/her arrest warrant was satisfied. This law was piloted for the first year in Anne Arundel County only and yielded tremendous results. The law produced so many arrests that legislation has now been introduced to make it a statewide law.
We are extremely pleased to report that the television show, the newspaper, the stings, our special enforcement initiatives, our daily pursuit of wanted criminals, and the warrant tax intercept law has produced as high as a 42% decrease in our outstanding warrants.
I am proud to say that my entire adult life has been spent in law enforcement. My primary focus for these past 34 years has been to make our county safer. Period. Thank you for allowing me to be your sheriff for the past eight years and I ask for your support for my re-election on November 2018.
Your Sheriff,
Ron Bateman

AdWords Continuing to Deliver (and Charge) Paused Campaigns
There's a thread going in DP where an AdWords user has reported that despite the pausing of his campaigns they continue to accrue impressions, clicks and charges.
"I paused the campaign at 3:43 PM yesterday. According to my stats I only received 25 impressions yesterday 0 clicks. Today I checked my account and have been charged for over 3000 impressions that supposedly happened today, BUT my campaign had been paused for more than 17 hours!!! "
A new member has also just posted in thread indicating the same is happening to him (or her).
"Glad to see it's not just me.I have 2 campaign's that have been paused since 12th February and are still racking up about $15 to $20 per day in clicks! (seems to be ignoring daily budget as well)"
The original poster has received a response from AdWords support and they acknowledge the problem. I'd suggest double checking your paused accounts and notifying AdWords support if it appears this issue is effecting any of your paused campaigns.
"Thank you for your email. I'm sorry to hear that you've had trouble with your Google AdWords campaign. I understand your paused campaigns are accruing clicks and impressions. Our engineers are currently working to solve the problem and hope to reach a resolution shortly. We appreciate you for your patience.
Once this issue has been resolved by the engineers, please be assured that any applicable credits will be automatically processed."

New here?
You'll probably want to hear about how I became an accidental lactivist first. And maybe see some of the media coverage.
Over the next few weeks I'll be talking about what happened after the hoopla. My thoughts on the news coverage, what's happening with the human rights complaint, why people are sending me hate mail for breastfeeding, and more. Check back often.
My baby was tired and hungry. I fed her breastmilk. In public. This bothered some people. Nursing in Public (NIP) is what this is all about.
Why 'Breast for the Weary'? I thought about calling this 'No breast for the weary', since that's what happened, but it seemed so negative. Hell yes, my baby will get the breast.
I am also a mother of three, a web designer, a Montreal resident, and now, an accidental lactivist.
That's it? As I occasionally receive hate mail, I like to leave it at that.
3 comments
I breastfed my son until he was 3 1/2 and only 'cut down' the public breastfeeding when he was past 3. While I never observed negative reactions (or was oblivious to them) the idea of being targeted by this type of ignorance was always in the back of my mind — and it shouldn't have been. Our children should be nourished and comforted where ever and whenever they require it and without worry.
Heck, I'm 37 years old and still enjoy a good breast every now and then. Keep up the breastfeeding ladies!
Many years ago, while working at a picture frame shop in Parkersburg, West Virginia, I had my first experience with a mother breast feeding her baby.
Mary, one of my coworkers, had her first baby with her at the job one day. She was an advocate for natural foods, natural healing, and God (as I was). The time came for her to feed her baby, and we were advised to allow her to do that. What it meant for us, of course, was to not enter — or encroach — Mary's space. Additionally, it also meant not doing some work that could have been done, because Mary was busy being the mother she wanted to be.
So, what then is most important? I had picture frames to build, but could not, as the area designated for that was directly adjacent to Mary. Yes, I was a bit frustrated that my job was hindered, but that passed soon enough. It wasn't long before I gained an empathetic perspective, thinking of how Mary must have felt. After all, she was a brand-new mother. A million thoughts were surely going through her mind. So, we gave her the space she and her baby needed. What a miracle life is, and how fortunate Mary's son was to have a mother like her.

The US employment report on Friday was notable because it showed that the number of jobs in the American economy now exceeds the high point reached in January 2008 for the first time since the Great Recession. Another important signal that the economy is returning to normal, it might be claimed.
But a period of more than six years with zero growth in jobs in the American economy is anything but normal. According to the Economic Policy Institute in Washington, the US would need to create an extra 6.9 million jobs before the labour market could really be said to be back to normal, in the sense that all those who want employment would be fully satisfied.
The same point can be made about the path for real GDP in almost every developed economy since 2007. While several economies have now returned to their previous peak levels of output, very few have approached the previous long term trendlines which had been established for decades before that. For the developed economies as a whole, output remains about 12 per cent below these trendlines.
Because this level of output has never actually been attained in the real world, there is little sense of tangible loss about this, notably in the political sphere. Nevertheless, the opportunity cost could still be enormous. Read more

2013 X5 3.5 Premium LOW MGP
I recently took notice of my gas consumption on my new X5. I currenly have ~500 miles on it and cheched the onboard info. To my suprise my MPG is only 12.9. I think sticker has it 16/17 city and 22/23 highway with an average of 19. I forget what the exact numbers are, but still i would think my MPG to be closer to 16 if not just over it on an avg base. Am I missing something here? My drive is usually local with occasional stretches on the highway.
I avgd 12.6 in my X3 on my 2 mile all city street commute.
So this is considered normal then to have the MPG so far below sticker? I am by no means a grease monkey and wish I understood more about car engines but this seems so much lower than the factory marketed MPGs.
Did u idle or get stuck in heavy traffic alot during this 500 miles? I'd also assume you havent been driving it hard? It does sound low but I wouldn't say it's abnormal, considering the engine hasn't been broken in and running on winter gas by now. Check your tailpipe and see if there's alot of black soot built up, which would indicate that ur running rich. FYI the car does get pretty poor mpg in local driving, I've seen as bad as 15mpg in pure local/stop and go traffic conditions.
I did notice black soot at the end of my tail pipes. I just assumed it was normal. Perhaps not. What is the remedy to fix it if the car is running rich? Must/Can it go to BMW for corrections? THanks for the help!
I do mostly Highway driving and get 25-27mpg; on weekends, mostly "just driving around" it drops to about 20mpg.
I would wait until you get at least 2500 miles on the odometer to start getting serious about MPG. The engine hasn't broken in, you're doing mostly city driving, you're not used to the car, etc.
Anyway, without knowing the type of driving you do it is IMPOSSIBLE to tell you if there is anything wrong... getting spun up about tailpipes and 'rich running' is silly.
Furthermore, are yoiu using the "MPG" diplay on the computer? Or are you calculating 'miles used versus fuel added'?
What is your average speed? Is it city driving with 90% of the time under 15mph?
In the sticker, take a look the the range printed at the bottom of two big number printed . It will tell you some of the variations of the engine. I do not by have the 35i. So, I can't look it up. I am not surprised you can go lower than city rating by epa.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Bimmer App
CITY: Expected driving range for MOST drivers 13-19
EPA is an estimate, if you get more will you complain or think something is wrong?
It also depends on how you are driving. If you are stepping on the gas at the light trying to beat the T&LC drivers to the lane, then you shouldn't expect to get the advertised 16 MPG. I've gotten around 10 MPG in the city before and that is red lights at every :mad: block.
Not surprised that the N55 gets terrible MPG.
The OP was saying that he was only getting 12.9 MPG in driving HIS X5 and asking if there was a problem.
You posted that you are getting 18MPG so it almost looks like you are driving two different vehicles so not really applicable to the OP, right? Are you trying to indicate that he should be able to get 18MPG rather than 12.9 in his X5 for some reason? You also didn't post HOW you got that type of mileage (average MPH, length of trips, type of traffic, etc... no details what so ever).
I guess your claims of exceptional highway mileage may help bump your ego but not certain how any of that changes the OP's condition or that it has ANY relevance for this thread what-so-ever.
To the OP: 12 mpg certainly sounds low, but I could see it in heavy city driving with a green engine.

I have a career and I am goal oriented. I know where I want to end up in life, I just don't know how I'll get there. I figure not knowing is the fun part.
Sarcasm is kind of a specialty.
I'm a jack of all trades and like to get my hands dirty.
I know what you're thinking... Did this guy go to space camp? Yes, yes I did.
Drinking whiskey and rum.... I think it's time for a drink, now that I think about it.
Music - volbeat, Everytime i die, Mumford and sons, green day, glassjaw, beastie boys, utiog, AWOLnation, kings of Leon, drop kick murphys, rancid, passion pit, I could really go on forever. I listen to all types of music. I'm open to it all, it fuels the soul.
Christmas ( I'm not even religious. People are just happier at this time of year I feel. And who doesn't like presents?)
Music is my drug
Whiskey and rum, because it makes all of the above so much better.

Former Future Brewing reopens today for the weekend
The brand new Former Future Brewing, which had to close for two weeks in order to restock its beer supply, reopened today -- and will stay open all weekend.
Located on South Broadway's Antique Row, the brewery, which has a four-barrel system, ran out of beer after just a few weeks in business due to its popularity. The situation didn't make co-owner James Howat too happy. "It sucks," he told Westword at the time. "People tell us that it's a good problem to have. But it's not. It really sucks."
See also: Photos: Former Future celebrates its grand opening
In the interim, Former Future has stocked up, although it still has only limited amounts of its Oatmeal Saison and Barrel Fermented/Barrel Aged Strong Ale, along with its Session Black IPA and Lemon Wheat, according to a Facebook post.
The good news, however, is that Former Future is expanding its hours -- previously just Friday and Saturday -- to Sunday, at least this weekend. (It opens at noon on both weekend days; the folks from Maria Empanada, soon to open down the street, will be on hand on Saturday.)
Former Future isn't the first small Denver craft brewery that had to limit its hours in the beginning because of a beer shortage. TRVE Brewing, Black Shirt and Our Mutual Friend all suffered hiccups in the early stages.

The Bigger Picture: Visual Archives and the Smithsonian
Posts tagged with: 2011 Archives Month
Questions About the Care and Preservation of Your Personal Treasures Answered
The Smithsonian's Top 6 Archives Myths
Blogs across the Smithsonian will be giving an inside look at the Institution's archival collections and practices during a month long blogathon in celebration of October's American Archives Month. See additional posts from our other participating blogs, as well as related events and resources, on the Smithsonian's Archives Month website.
Over the past month, we've been highlighting the things that are in the Smithsonian Institution Archives for American Archives Month. But what about the things that aren't in the archives of the Smithsonian?
In celebration of Archives Month, and to clear up any confusion once and for all, here are the top six Smithsonian archives related myths I (and our archivists) often hear:
- The Smithsonian does not have a freezer full of individual snowflakes in its archives (neither in our collections or any of the other archives across the Smithsonian). I see this one on Twitter all the time, and though it's amazing sounding, it's not true. However, we do have some incredible photographs of individual snowflakes in our collections, made by "Snowflake" Bentley in the early 1900s. (PS: You can see more of these photos on the Flickr Commons, and we even have some nifty craft templates made from Bentley's snowflakes for you to use—perfect as the weather gets frostier!)
- The Smithsonian is not archiving all tweets on Twitter. As the keepers of the Institution's history, the Smithsonian Institution Archives does archive many of the tweets of the Smithsonian's 82 Twitter accounts (most of which can be found here). But sorry guys, we are not archiving all of your tweets in the Archives. Never fear though—the Library of Congress is archiving your public tweets for posterity's sake.
- The National Archives and the Library of Congress in Washington, DC are not a part of the Smithsonian. We love these wonderful organizations, but they're not affiliated with the Smithsonian's 19 museums and galleries, the National Zoological Park, and nine research facilities (which also include many archives).
- There is not an underground storage facility or archive under the National Mall. As Around the Mall blog and others have reported, this myth may have been perpetuated by the movie Night at the Museum, but there are no storage facilities under the Mall. However, there are unused tunnels under the National Mall that connect the Smithsonian Castle and the National Museum of Natural History. These two buildings once shared utilities and so the tunnel was built in 1909 as a necessary entryway for maintenance.
- The Smithsonian Institution Archives is not responsible for all of the Smithsonian's collections.
Each museum, archives, or other collecting unit within the Smithsonian has its own specialty and is responsible for cataloging, storing, and preserving its own objects, artwork, and other collections. So, not all of those 137 million artifacts, works of art, and specimens in the Smithsonian's collections that you hear about are here in the Archives! But the Archives does hold the records that document the history of the Smithsonian—its people, its programs, its research, and its stories.
- The Smithsonian Institution Archives does not hold any Nostradamus manuscripts. This is a bizarre one. Since 2008, I've often seen blog posts that claim that a Professor Eugene Randell of the Smithsonian Institution Archives released new Nostradamus predictions found in a rare Nostradamus manuscript. In fact, there is no Eugene Randell on staff at the Smithsonian (and while many Smithsonian employees do have doctorate degrees, and some do teach, we don't really have professors on staff). Finally, neither the Archives nor the Smithsonian Institution Libraries (two separate units at the Smithsonian) have Nostradamus manuscripts.
All that said, there are many collections at the Archives that we hope you enjoy. Happy Archives Month!

- Check out some of our wonderful and wacky collections highlighted over at Around the Mall blog (for example, the world's longest beard, at right) in honor of American Archives Month.
- The wisdom of crowds: two George Mason University professors are assembling a team on the Internet of more than five hundred forecasters who will make educated guesses about a series of world events in order to study crowdsourcing [via Liza O'Leary, SIA].
- "I love mistakes in photos." Emily Moazami of the Smithsonian American Art Museum waxes poetic about her favorite things about being a photo archivist.
- You think digitizing a book is as simple as slapping a book on a scanner? Not so fast—here's a broad overview from the Library of Congress' The Signal blog.
- It's a big freebie: Smithsonian Folkways offers up ten free tracks for you to download from the new Mickey Hart Collection, which highlights musical traditions at risk.
- Powerhouse Museum talks about the changes in their digital strategy over the years, and highlights some very interesting digital projects taking place at museums, libraries, and archives.

This presentation will outline the multi-step process it took to preserve, digitize, and catalog the internationally-known collection of archaeologist Ernst Herzfeld; leading to the creation and heavy use of a variety of web resources. An exploration of piecing together grants, budget technology, and labor force needed, will also be discussed.
- 11:30-11:55 AM Jennifer O'Neal, Head Archivist, and Rachel Menyuk, Archive Assistant, National Museum of the American Indian Archive Center Preserving the History of the Museum of the American Indian/Heye Foundation Collection, The MAI/Heye Foundation collection provides a glimpse into the evolving nature of a museum seeking to document and preserve the culture and history of Native Americans. This presentation will provide an overview of this collection and detail the on-going project to process and fully digitize portions of the collection.
- 12:00-1:00 Intermission
- 1:00-1:25 PM Christine Hennessey, Chief, Research and Scholars Center, Smithsonian American Art Museum Documenting America's Outdoor Sculpture Across America, in nearly every town square or city park there are monuments to the past and to the people who shaped it. Our outdoor sculpture tells the stories of this nation's history; yet as one of society's most accessible art forms, outdoor sculpture is also one of its most endangered cultural resources, threatened by extremes of weather, pollution, vandalism and neglect. In this presentation, you'll hear how the Smithsonian American Art Museum, through its Save Outdoor Sculpture (or SOS!) program, has taken a leading role in documenting and preserving our sculptural heritage for future generations to come.
- 1:30-1:55 PM Abby Clouse-Radigan, Contract Researcher, National Anthropological Archives Working Across Collections: Reconnecting the Photographs, Artifacts, and Papers of Matilda Coxe Stevenson, This talk will give an overview of a project to reconnect the disparate collections of ethnologist Matilda Coxe Stevenson, held in the Smithsonian's Department of Anthropology ethnology collections and the National Anthropological Archives. Through photographs and other materials, this talk will illustrate the rich readings that become possible when working across collections to read photographs against both papers and artifacts.
- 2:00-2:25 PM Gina Rappaport, photo Archivist, National Anthropological Archives, The Archival Legacy of Edward S. Curtis The National Anthropological Archives has recently acquired a rare collection of original negatives made by photographer Edward S. Curtis during his work on The North American Indian, as well as a body of Curtis' papers. This talk will present highlights from the acquisition and discuss the research-in-progress into the archival "Diaspora" of Curtis' photographs and manuscripts.
- 2:30-2:55 PM Jake Homiak, Director, Anthropology Collections and Archives Program, National Museum of Natural History Secrets of the Tribe: the Asch-Chagnon Collection, Archives speak to ethical and methodological issues in the disciplines related to their content.

- 3:00-3:25 PM Lynda Schmitz Fuhrig, Electronic Records Archivist, and Jennifer Wright, Assistant Archivist, Smithsonian Institution Archives, Preserving the Smithsonian's Institution Web Presence, Although it first began capturing institutional websites in the late 1990s, the Smithsonian Institution Archives initiated a project in 2009 to capture the explosion of public websites and social media instances maintained by its many museums, research centers, and programs. Lynda Schmitz Fuhrig and Jennifer Wright will discuss appraisal, accessioning, and capture issues in documenting the Smithsonian's web presence in the early 21st Century.
- 3:30-3:55 PM Diane Shaw, Smithsonian Institution Libraries, Manuscripts of the Dibner Library, Highlights from the Manuscripts Collection of the Dibner Library of the History of Science & Technology, An overview of the surprising number and variety of manuscripts in the Dibner Library, ranging from medieval astrological literature to the notes of Sir Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, to materials from William Moulton Marston (creator of Wonder Woman), with details about related issues of cataloging, preservation, and access.
- 4:00-4:25 PM Jason Stieber, Archives of American Art Collecting Manuscript Collections, This presentation will relate experiences of collecting archival materials out in the field, including appraisal, selection, negotiations and donor relations.
- 4:30-4:55 PM Amy Staples, Senior Archivist, Eliot Elisofon Photographic Archives, National Museum of African Art The Eliot Elisofon Photographic Archives: Creating Access to a National Treasure, An illustrated overview of recent cataloguing and digitization projects funded by the Smithsonian Institution CIS/IRM Pool (FY2006 – 2011). Projects include the Eliot Elisofon negative collection and historic postcard collections from Africa. The black-and-white photographs of Eliot Elisofon, Life magazine photographer and a major donor to the National Museum of African Art, will be featured in this presentation. Elisofon traveled in Africa from 1947 – 1972 and focused on many aspects of African life and culture, including architecture, artists, masquerades, natural landscapes, political leaders and rituals. The Elisofon project involved the cataloguing and digitization of over 13,000 negatives that are now accessible to the general public on the Smithsonian Research and Information System (SIRIS). The historic postcard project involves the cataloguing and digitization of over 16,000 postcards from every region of Africa (c. 1890s – present). This project began in FY2010 and now involves the use of Google interactive mapping of African locations on SIRIS.
The Warren Robbins Papers
It doesn't happen frequently, but here at the Archives we acquire the personal papers of individuals and organizations closely associated with the Smithsonian's programs and activities. Such was the case when in May 2009, Lydia Puccinelli Robbins, widow of Warren M. Robbins, contacted the Archives to see if we would be interested in having his personal papers. Among many other things, Robbins was the founder and director of the Museum of African Art which became part of the Smithsonian in 1979 and was later renamed the National Museum of African Art.
In August 2010, myself and three colleagues, drove our two minivans over to the Capitol Hill townhouse where the Robbins papers were. The papers were in a variety places and in differing degrees of organization.
In my experience, these images are pretty indicative of how records are stored when we go and acquire them, both in the case of personal papers as well as when it comes to the institutional records we collect. The state of records really depends on how organized and how much time an individual or organization has to devote to the endeavor.
After taking files out of filing cabinets and putting lids on boxes that did not have them, we carefully loaded the papers into our vans. All told, 109 boxes plus some oversize materials made their way into our collections storage.
Fortunately for me, the Archives has enough free space for the materials while I process them, since doing so takes some time considering the quantity and variety of materials in the Robbins papers.
The first step in processing them was to stabilize those materials that were either housed in damaging boxes or inappropriate storage containers (such as Trader Joe's bags), until I could get to organizing them more fully. The reason being that acidic boxes could over time deteriorate the materials within them and that papers placed into a grocery bag would become damaged merely by their own weight on top of each other. By doing a little archival triage, the papers are not further damaged by what they were stored in. The next step was to do a preliminary inventory of what was in each box. The purpose of doing this was to get a sense of what the papers contain, and see how the materials could be arranged in way that made sense. For example, materials related to Robbins career as a Foreign Affairs Officer would be grouped together, while the materials regarding his publications would form another group. Once this was complete, I could arrange the boxes into their appropriate record series and begin the more labor intensive process of taking items out of hanging folders; putting materials in acid-free folders and writing titles on them; removing materials from binders and scrapbooks; putting photographs and negatives into polypropelene sheets; and arranging and describing materials that were not in folders.
So that is where I am at right now. Once I am finished, I will move on to writing the finding aid and collection record, both of which you will be able to find on the Archives' collections search in the future. As I read through the writings and correspondence of Warren M. Robbins, it is clear to me that his energy and passion for cultural understanding and African art made a lasting impression on those around him. The National Museum of African Art is a testament to his vision and continues to bring the wonders of African art that so enthralled Robbins to new audiences.

Earlier I commented that my Celeron runs TMG fast. I was mistaken. My _Centrino_ runs TMG fast. The processor is quite capable, and it clocks down when not in demand to save battery.
I used to seldom run on battery, because battery time was so limited. But now that the battery time (nearly 5 hours typical) is reasonable, I have found many uses for autonomy. Add a Verizon card and GPS and oh what a toy!
I'm running 512MB RAM, but insisted on 1 Ram chip so the remaining slot will allow me to upgrade to 1GB Ram later. So far, I haven't felt the need, even with a large database and running several applications at once.
Take a look at your screen size, too. TMG needs a lot of screen real estate if you want to see everything at once, so a resolution of say 1400 X 1050 is very handy.

Make sure you understand the difference between the Centrino and the
Celeron. The Intel Centrino processor is made just for laptops, conserving
battery life, etc, but while the processor clock is less then a Pentium 4,
its internal structure and operations should make it very close in
preformance when compared to a Pentium 4.
For my money, any of the later versions of the Centrino (with built in
802.11g) or Pentium 4 Mobile processors should make great laptops.

OK, so HTTPS should be easy, thanks to the PLT libraries and unit system. Thanks! Since I totally missed that possibility when skimming the source, I'm just checking that I'm not somehow doing the same thing again here: is there a way to generate HTTP PUT requests? (It probably wouldn't be all that difficult to add that feature, but I don't want to reinvent anything...) Anton
