Cable and the Decline of the Big Three
More Channels.
Cable television has been around since the 1940s but until recently was used almost exclusively to bring watchable television reception to communities that were separated from broadcasting antennae by distance or physical barriers such as mountains. In the 1970s individuals in a few communities had cable connections to their homes that allowed them to see movies, sports, and special events on a subscription basis. By the 1980s, however, the availability of commercial telecommunications satellites made it economically feasible for independent stations and special-interest channels to broadcast nationwide. As more material became available to the nation's cable providers, the business grew dramatically, gaining subscribers in urban centers around the country. In 1976 the average American home received seven channels on its television set; by the end of the 1980s the average number of channels had climbed to nearly thirty.
New Options.
Before the 1980s the "Big Three" networks—ABC, CBS, and NBC—were practically television's sole providers of national news and sporting events, major Hollywood releases (which were edited for content), and original dramatic series. But during the decade ten million viewers defected from the networks to watch what was on cable. There were a variety of reasons for the switch: cable channels...

The Cable News Network
News Network.
The Cable News Network (CNN) was the first television network to devote its entire programming schedule to reporting the news—in the process the network changed the definition of news itself. Previously, the nightly news broadcasts offered by the three major networks were summaries of the day's events, condensed into a half-hour format that allowed little room for detailed coverage or analysis. Live reporting of events that occurred outside the "news hour" of 6:00-7:00 P.M. was unusual. But CNN's round-the-clock dedication to current events gave the network the ability to cover events as they occurred and the time to follow those events, however long they took to develop.
Turner's Vision.
CNN was the brainchild of Ted Turner, the unconventional entrepreneur who in 1981, when the news network debuted, was known primarily as the owner of the Atlanta Braves baseball team. Turner had also owned Atlanta's independent channel 17 since the early 1970s and was quick to see the possibilities for cable television: in 1976 the SuperStation WTBS (for Turner Broadcasting System) became the first broadcast station to transmit via satellite and thus was one of the cornerstones of cable television. At that time Turner was already considering the possibility of an all-news network, but the conventional wisdom of the television industry...

Computers: Machines of the Decade
You Say You Want a Revolution.
By the middle 1980s the social revolution envisioned twenty years earlier by the pioneers of the small computer was in full swing. In 1981 some 750,000 personal computers were estimated to be in use in American homes; 39.4 million computers were shipped between 1984 and 1988. In 1984 alone Americans bought $37.6 million worth of computer software for home use, about two-thirds of it in the "entertainment" category—that is, computer games. By the end of 1982, 250 different computer games were available, and some $2 billion worth were sold. In the mid 1980s home computers came in three types. For less than $100, one could buy a game-only computer made by Atari or Sega. It hooked up to the family television set, which acted as the monitor, and the programs came as plug-in cartridges or tape cassettes similar to those used in tape recorders. For less than $500, the home user could buy a computer that purported to serve the serious user—a Timex Sinclair 1000, a Commodore VIC-20, or an Atari 400—but these machines were normally upgraded game computers with simple programs. For $1,000 to $2,000, the more serious home user could buy an Apple II, an IBM Personal Computer, or a Radio Shack TRS-80 with a keyboard, a monitor, and as much as thirty-two kilobytes of RAM (random-access memory). For another $750 or so a printer could be attached, making the computer...

The Computer Revolution
Computer Literacy.
By the mid 1980s computer technology had transformed American life. The watches people wore, the cars they drove, the mail they received, the games they played, the state of their health, and the way they learned were altered by the computer chip. Schools, workplaces, the health industry, government, and the law were all dramatically affected by the computer. Social engineers began to ponder the question of how to prepare the citizens of the future for lives and careers that would require at least a rudimentary understanding of computing. The notion of literacy, the fundamnetal measure of capability for modern life, was expanded to include "computer literacy": a basic familiarity with computers.
Business Uses.
Big business had recognized the importance of the computer from the beginning; but by the 1980s, as equipment and the programs to make it useful became affordable, even small...

Fox:The Fourth Network
A New Network.
The first four decades of commercial American television were dominated by three huge networks of affiliated stations, known as the "Big Three"—CBS, NBC, and ABC. The Big Three provided virtually all of the programs aired on television stations around the country, particularly between the hours of 8:00 and 11:00 P.M.—"prime time." By the early 1980s, however, it was clear that television was changing in fundamental ways that the executives at the Big Three barely understood, if at all. Cable television was offering alternatives to major-network programming in the form of unedited movies, all-news and all-sports formats, music-video channels, and a variety of other endeavors that were challenging conventional wisdom about how the business of television operated. In 1985 the picture for the Big Three seemed especially bleak: all three networks were purchased by larger companies between March and December of that year.

MTV and its Influence
Music Video.
MTV, or Music Television, a cable television network that devotes most of its programming time to video clips that accompany popular songs, has had a profound influence on young people, and on popular culture in general, since its first broadcast in 1982. Although originally conceived as a promotional tool for the popular music industry, it quickly assumed a life of its own and was embraced by young America as a source of information on the latest trends in music, fashion, and opinion. As a visual companion to rock 'n' roll, the video clips shown on MTV were frequently juvenile, vulgar, tasteless, and violent—which inevitably delighted teenage viewers and offended their parents. Advertisers and studio executives attempted to capitalize on the network's enormous success, and soon commercials, television series, and feature films were being shot in the style of music videos—with glossy visuals, rapid editing, and a throbbing pop-music soundtrack. Most of the biggest musical stars of the decade got their first public exposure on MTV, a circumstance that has led some critics to charge that the video network was instrumental in elevating style and appearance over talent in the music industry.

New Magazines
Magazines for the Affluent.
After the recession of the early 1980s, most of the decade was marked by increased prosperity and a slowdown in the rate of inflation, leaving many Americans with disposable income to spend on magazines that addressed their interests in topics such as fashion, celebrities, children, health, fitness, lifestyle, travel, and new technologies. In a period when style seemed to count for more than substance, the magazines of the 1980s even imparted a new glamour to subjects such as dieting, gardening, and exercising.
Science and Computer Magazines.
In 1980 two new magazines were launched to capitalize on Americans' interest in new scientific discoveries. Time, Inc., introduced Discovery geared for an educated audience interested in the effects of science on daily life, and the Litton Publishing Group brought out Next: The Magazine of the Future, which purported to forecast breakthroughs in science and technology. By 1983 the advent of relatively inexpensive and user-friendly home computers had spawned several new magazines for computer owners, including Family Computing (Scholastic, Inc.); Microkids: The Magazine for Kids Who Love Computers (Warner Software/Cloverdale); and Enter: The World of Computers and Electronic Games (Children's Television Workshop), for ten-to...

Newspapers in the 1980s
Trouble and Change.
The traditional view of newspapers—fiercely independent papers run by strong individual personalities with strong local ties and flavors in a competitive local market—continued to be less true in the 1980s. More cities were left with single newspapers, all morning editions, as publishers not facing direct competition in local markets eliminated slowly dying afternoon editions.
Gannett's Influence.
The founding of USA Today in 1982 by the Gannett group and its chief executive officer, Allan H. Nueharth, was influential in both newspaper content and design, despite Nueharth's stated intention that the paper was a supplement to, rather than a replacement of, local newspapers. But in an era when more and more people chose to get their news and information from television, USA Today taught lessons different from those intended by Neuharth.
Splashy Layout.
USA Today featured a splashy layout with lots of color; short news articles with little analysis; a heavy emphasis on sports; and weather, business, and entertainment snippets for travelers. By 1986 its daily circulation was 1.17 million copies, though Neuharth claimed 4.8 million daily readers. Although the paper was a circulation success, it proved a money loser well into the 1990s. Still,...

The Nightly News
Networks under Attack.
The news divisions of the Big Three networks were immediately on the defensive as the 1980s began: in June 1980 maverick communications entrepreneur Ted Turner launched his Cable News Network, a twenty-four-hour news channel that posed the first real challenge ever to the major networks' near monopoly on broadcast journalism. Over the next several years CNN scored a number of successes against its larger rivals, for example suing successfully in 1981 for the right to use White House press pool footage that had previously been the exclusive property of the three networks. CNN used young, nonunion employees and small domestic and foreign bureaus to save costs, and it established agreements with local television stations for the rights to use their footage of breaking stories. All of these factors shook an industry that had become complacent in many ways.
Executives at ABC, deciding that the best defense is a good offense, linked the resources of...

Bigger, Not Better.
The 1980s was a decade in which publishers' business decisions changed the sorts of works available to readers and markedly altered the format in which those works were presented. The combination of recession and inflation that afflicted the American economy in the late 1970s and early 1980s adversely affected book sales and made publishers easy prey for large conglomerates more concerned with profits than good books. At the same time, independent bookstores, often owned and staffed by book lovers, were giving way to large chain stores that had large advertising budgets and could sell books at lower prices because publishers gave them discounts for buying in large quantities. Even after publishers responded to complaints from independent store owners by offering them discounts as well, the small bookshops had difficulty competing with the chains. The result was a growing standardization of offerings nationwide, with both publishers and bookstores merchandising best-sellers and books by popular authors at the expense of books with acknowledged merit but limited sales potential.
Takeovers and Mergers.
The trend of publishing houses being swallowed up by larger and larger conglomerates picked up speed in the 1980s and continued into the 1990s. By 1992 seven giant conglomerates dominated the publishing industry and...

Five Radios in Every Home.
Radio continued throughout the 1980s to be the most pervasive medium in America. Ninety-nine percent of American households owned radios in the 1980s (compared to 98 percent who owned televisions), and each household had an average of 5.5 radios. Those figures do not take into account automobile radios, which had become standard equipment in most of the 5.5 million passenger cars sold each year. The American radio audience tended to be younger, better educated, and wealthier than the television audience, though Multimedia Audiences, a sampling of media choices at specified times, indicated that 91.7 percent of Americans were likely to be watching television as compared to 85.3 percent who were listening to the radio.
Local Origins.
Radio and television differed significantly in the origin of their programming. The three major national television networks dominated prime-time programming, and though FCC rules stipulated that a certain amount of the broadcast day had to be reserved for locally originated programs, network shows were the meat of the television schedule. Radio programs almost always originated locally. Radio networks provided some feeds and owned a handful of stations, but radio was a medium of independent stations airing local programs. The radio listener had access to more than nine...

Turner Broadcasting System
Cable Pioneer.
Ted Turner, the unconventional Atlanta-based entrepreneur who was also known as "Captain Outrageous" and the "Mouth of the South," became one of the pioneers of the burgeoning cable-television industry in the 1980s. Beginning in the late 1970s he parlayed an independent Atlanta television station and an idea for a twenty-four-hour news channel into the foundation of the multibillíon-dollar Turner Broadcasting System.

Turner Advertising was a prosperous billboard business in Savannah, Georgia, that Ted Turner inherited under tragic circumstances when his father committed suicide in 1963. Several months earlier, the senior Turner had made a series of business deals that made Turner Advertising the largest outdoor advertising company in the Southeast and gained the company entry into the lucrative market in Atlanta, the capital of the "New South." The company was in financial upheaval after Ed Turner's death, but his son had remarkable success over the next year. He built a clientele made up mostly of...

Headline Makers
Bochco, Steven J. 1943-
Successful and Respected.
Steven J. Bochco was one of the most successful television producers of the 1980s, the creator of two of the decade's most popular and critically lauded series: the police drama Hill Street Blues and L.A. Law. Between them the two won the Emmy award for best television drama seven times over the course of the decade. Both series followed an original approach to nighttime drama: they featured large ensemble casts; alternated between dramatic and comic scenes; followed multiple story lines over several episodes; and addressed mature, sometimes controversial, subject matter.
Bochco got his start in television in the story department of Universal Studios in 1966. His first real success was as story editor for NBC's popular Columbo detective series; two of the teleplays he wrote for Columbo earned him Emmy nominations in 1971 and 1972. Throughout the rest of the decade he developed several series, none of which lasted longer than half a season. Bochco was laid off from Universal twice during his tenure there, and his regular clashes with the studio's management helped to establish his reputation as uncompromising and sometimes difficult. In 1978 he was hired by MTM Enterprises, the production studio responsible for The Mary Tyler...

Brown, Tina 1953-
A Magazine for the 1980s.
One of the most talked about and controversial magazines of the 1980s was Vanity Fair, which editor in chief Tina Brown turned into a near-perfect representation of the interests and tastes of the "yuppie" (young urban professional) or "me" generation. She successfully exploited their obsession with wealth, status, and celebrity to create a magazine that became notorious for publishing stories about Soviet premier Mikhail Gorbachev and long intellectual think pieces next to starstruck movie-celebrity profiles or pictures such as Roseanne and Tom Arnold mud wrestling. As Brown told an interviewer in 1989, "My kind of editing comes very much from the tradition of the eclectic magazine which mixes culture, arts, business—all those things—with an overriding point of view," and, she added, bringing an irreverent viewpoint to "stuffy subjects" can "really make a lot of waves" (Washington Journalism Review, November 1989).
Born in Great Britain and a 1974 graduate of Oxford University, Brown came to Vanity Fair in 1984 from London, where she had taken over the Tat1er in 1979 and quadrupled its circulation in five years. Her success came to the attention of S. I. Newhouse, head of the Condé Nast magazine empire and co-owner with his...

Cosby, Bill 1937-
Television Popularity.
Actor and comedian Bill Cosby became one of the most popular television personalities of the 1980s with the success of The Cosby Show, a situation comedy unprecedented in its portrayal of an affluent African American family. Although The Cosby Show occasionally received criticism for ignoring the issues facing the African American community, the series earned some of the highest ratings on television from its debut in the 1984 season.
Stand-up Comic.
Cosby had his first success in show business as a stand-up comic in the 1960s. He received national exposure on NBC's Tonight Show in the summer of 1963 and released the first of a series of popular comedy albums in 1964. While many comics were using the growing freedom of that decade to explore controversial, sometimes risqué material, Cosby was making his reputation with humorous recollections of his childhood. Many Americans wondered about the absence of race as a topic in Cosby's stones. As Cosby's success grew he had to defend his choice of material regularly; as he argued, "A white person listens to my act and he laughs and he thinks, 'Yeah, that's the way I see it too.' Okay. He's white. I'm Negro. And we both see things the same way. That must mean that we are alike.…So I figure I'm doing as much...

Maynard, Robert Clyve 1937-1993
First Black Owner.
When RobertMaynard bought the Oakland Tribune in 1983, he became the first black in the United States to own a major daily newspaper. But Maynard had a career full of firsts, from being the first black national newspaper correspondent to being the first black newspaper editor in chief.
High-School Dropout.
The son of immigrants from Barbados, Maynard grew up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York. Interested in writing from an early age, Maynard frequently cut classes at Boys High School in Brooklyn to hang around the editorial offices of the black weekly newspaper the New York Age. By the age of sixteen he had dropped out of school to work full-time as a reporter for the New York Age. In 1956 he moved to Greenwich Village, where he wrote free-lance articles and met writers such as James Baldwin and Langston Hughes.
Niemann Fellowship.
Applying for jobs on white-owned newspapers brought no results, and it was 1961 before he found a job on a mainstream paper. Maynard began as a police and urban-affairs reporter for the York (Pa.) Gazette and Daily. In 1965 Maynard applied for a Niemann Fellowship and won, spending 1966 at Harvard University studying economics, art, and...

Murdoch, Rupert 1931-
Media Giant.
Born in Australia but a citizen of the United States since 1985, Rupert Murdoch has become one of the major players in the global media revolution of the 1980s and 1990s. Murdoch is the son of Australian newspaper publisher Sir Keith Murdoch. After graduating from Worcester College, Oxford University, in 1953, Murdoch worked briefly as an editor for Lord Beaverbrook's sensationalist London tabloid the Daily Express. After his father's death in 1952, Murdoch inherited in 1954 the Australian newspapers the Sunday Mail and The News.
Sensationalist Content.
Using experience he gained while working on the Daily Express, Murdoch converted The News into a tabloid emphasizing crime and sex. Circulation soared, and Murdoch instituted similar editorial rationales at newly bought newspapers in Sydney, Perth, Melbourne, and Brisbane. In 1964 he established the Australian, a national daily that won respect as a more traditional...

Newhouse, S. I. 1927-
The cohead of one of the last great family-owned media conglomerates, S. I. Newhouse Jr. runs with his brother Donald a powerful corporation with major holdings in newspaper, book, and magazine publishing as well as cable television.
The son of the late newspaper publisher S. I. Newhouse Sr., Newhouse oversees the family empire, Advance Publications, with his younger brother Donald. S. I. oversees the magazines and publishing concerns while Donald runs the newspapers. Newhouse's brash manner in dealing with employees and his bottom-line approach to publishing made him one of the most hated bosses in the publishing industry.
Random House.
After dropping out of Syracuse University, where his father had endowed a journalism school, Newhouse began working for his father in the newspaper business, where he failed miserably. He joined Condé Nast, the magazine-publishing arm of Advance Publications, and found his niche. But it was not until his father's death in 1979 that Newhouse began to branch out and build up the empire. In February 1980 Advance Publications and Newhouse bought the Random House publishing group, adding a plum to the empire that had eluded his father.

Savitch, Jessica 1943-1983
Recognized Personality.
When Jessica Savitch died in 1983 she was one of the most recognized news personalities in America and a frequent anchorwoman for NBC Nightly News. Yet few Americans knew of the personal problems that plagued her until reports and biographies began to appear after her death. Her life was a tragic illustration of the stresses that can accompany celebrity in the competitive television industry.
Savitch was raised in New Jersey, the daughter of a clothing merchant whose untimely death traumatized the girl as a teenager. She began working for a local radio station while a sophomore in high school and majored in communications at Ithaca College in New York. Savitch gained her first television experience on the campus station in the mid 1960s; from the start she showed an affinity for the camera that promised a bright future in the medium. She was also demonstrating a drive to succeed that bordered on unhealthy obsession. A strikingly pretty blonde, Savitch worked as a model and as a disc jockey at a Rochester, New York, pop music station in addition to her studies and her appearances on the campus television broadcasts. Her college years were busy but also lonely: her ambition alienated most of her classmates.

Winfrey, Oprah 1954-
Changing the Format.
Oprah Winfrey changed the format of the daytime television talk show in the 1980s, scoring huge ratings success with frank discussions of sensitive, sometimes controversial topics. Her nationally syndicated Oprah Winfrey Show was one of the most popular of the decade, and she earned honors as an actress as well.
Rough Childhood.
Winfrey came from a troubled childhood that included sexual abuse and a pregnancy when she was fourteen. Determined to rise above her unhappy circumstances, she entered beauty pageants in Nashville as a teenager and worked part-time at a local radio station. In 1973 she made the jump to television as a newscaster in Nashville; three years later, at age twenty-two, she was hired by ABC's Baltimore affiliate, WJZTV, to coanchor the station's local news. Her career in Baltimore initially foundered, but she found her niche in 1977 as the cohost...

People in the News
In September 1980 John R. Anderson, publisher of Runner's World magazine, was accused by the FTC of accepting cash bribes to give favorable mention to running shoes in the annual shoe-rating survey published by the magazine.
The Official Preppy Handbook by Lisa Birnbach sold 165,000 in the first month after it was published in November 1980; by the end of the year there were 550,000 copies in print and the book was among the bestselling paperbacks of the year.
In April 1983 media consultant John Bowen reported the results of a National Association of Broadcasters survey. According to Bowen, television viewers were increasingly attracted to alternatives such as shows on cable networks because "much of TV's regular fare is seen as repetitious, boring and juvenile."
In January 1987 television talk-show host Phil Donahue became the first Western media representative to visit Chernobyl, site of the disastrous 1986 nuclear-power accident. Donahue visited the Ukrainian town during a ten-day visit to the Soviet Union, during which he gathered material for his syndicated talk show.

Thank you very much Robert, that's very nice of you to say. Not trying to be an inspiration since I think I have a lot of things I still need to work on. But thank you anyway! Take care.
Luis - 11:02 AM
Luis, don't be so hard on yourself, the works you have created have been done very well. You should be proud. Indeed, the best thing about your work is you keep getting better, show such rapid improvement and in my opinion, you have a brilliant career ahead of you.
Best, Robert Hoover - 8:55 AM

Thank you Robert, I am very proud of the work I do. I'm not putting myself down I just being realistic since I know there are plenty more artists out there who are better. But I do like the fact that you see growth in my work. I haven't been able to notice it until last night when I finished "Red Bartlett Pear." There's something in that painting that's not in the other one and I can't put my fingers on it. But no matter what it is it's a big step forward. Thanks for checking my work.

Am glad you liked what I said. I realize there will always be lots of artists who are better than me, but they don't have what I have: my experience, my perspective, my feelings. Some idiot wrote me that it was "too bad" that I didn't paint larger, which is nonsense, I responded, my work is what it IS. No one tries harder or cares about what we do more than us. I love checking your work, man.
- Luis Colan said...
Well that guy doesn't know what he's talking about since a painting doesn't have to be large to be GOOD! Large scale works for some, but when done right a small painting can have as much if not more presence than a larger one. Stick to what feels right for you, when you stay true to yourself the work of art will be successful. Thank you once again for checking out my work.
Luis - 5:04 PM

Old timers might remember the two RBN downloads from James William Roy: "Paper Valentines" and "Shiny Dark Bar". Some of the more adventurous of you might even know that James William Roy and producerhead Markleford had become The James Rocket, and produced an album, including those two venerable songs - streamable for free and downloadable for cheap: http://www.TheJamesRocket.com/
Well, guess what! It gets more complicated! To The James Rocket, James has added a drummer, a guitarist, fired himself on bass, hired himself for vocals and guitar, and brought on a new bass player, to bring the whole thing out of the studio, and take it LIVE.
The James Rocket has its live debut at Otto's Shrunken Head in Manhattan, on February 10. (Horrible excuse for a Tiki Bar, but a pleasant enough dive. It's free. Come down, if you're in New York that weekend.)

Kaepernick. I?m a believer now.
by Derek Moore
posted Dec 17 2012 10:20AM
As a lifelong 49ers fan, I eat and breathe this team. Alex Smith after the playoff run last year was everybody's guy including mine. Everybody fell over themselves after that Bears win when Kaepernick took over for Smith, as did I. However, I wasn't completely onboard with a permanent QB change-until now.
Before, I appreciated the tools Kaepernick displayed. He showed off the running/scrambling ability, the arm, and the gun down the field. He threaded the needle on passes, and he had enough zip on the ball to take that chance where Smith hadn't. BUT, he still has his problems changing the plays at the line of scrimmage, the brutal lateral, the mishandling under center. Is this guy PLAYOFF ready? That was the main concern. Could he win the big game, despite all of the elements? Last night, he did. Cold, rain, Brady, Patriots heavily favored with them coming back to miraculously tie, he did it. Despite the growing pains, he's not going to lose the game for you, and he, as many have said, he never gets rattled. We watched Brady spike the ball when a timeout was given to the 49ers defense. Kaepernick is cool under any setting, no matter the circumstance. That's what I needed to see last night to make sure that this guy can go all the way.

Not yet!
He is learning and that's good but removing Alex Smith at this time is unprofessional and that is the choach's gamble. I have seen Montana and Young and Alex shows their Qualities. He finally got a coach that pulled Alex togeather starting with last year and made him believe in him self and he has been proving it then wham all of it was bad..The 49er's havn't looked as good as this year an last and it was Alex who got them here to only be repaced for a bad reason. This last game showed his weekness's and good luck. Alex is a super QB now and just think this could of been hanled much better that it was. sence I have lived 49er and SF Giants for 60yrs I have seen the best and this process was done for a gut reason. I hope they still win and the Super Bowel is on the line. Bill Cunningham.

Pizza Man sign is up on Downer
In case you haven't walked or driven down Downer Avenue in the past few days, I'm here to tell you that a bit of legendary East Side design has returned to the city in the form of the well recognized, if not finely designed, Pizza Man sign.
Say what you will about its shape, but this thing is (warning here comes a massively overused word) an iconic Milwaukee sign.
Pizza Man's development is coming along nicely. Mid-to-late July is the new target grand reopening range. You can follow it on Facebook.

"One for all and all for one" in this action-packed serial adaptation of Alexander Dumas' The Three Musketeers. Tom Wayne (John Wayne) is a fugitive from justice, framed for a murder he did not commit. El Shaitan, the mysterious and diabolical leader of the Devil's Circle, a group who are plotting an Arab rebellion against the Foreign Legion, is to blame. It's up to Tom's sweetheart Elaine (Ruth Hall) and the trustworthy Three Musketeers, Clancy (Jack Mulhall), Renard (Raymond Hatton) and Schmidt (Francis X. Bushman Jr.), to put an end to his reign of terror and clear Tom's name. Tom and The Three Musketeers narrowly escape death in episode after episode as they saddle up for a Sahara thrill-ride in the name of truth, justice and brotherhood.

Consumers and retailers alike know the Christmas season is one of the biggest shopping times of the year, and several studies expect this season to be one of the busiest in recent years.
The Christmas season is a time for family, friends, fun and joy. However, a holiday season without a financial plan can easily turn a happy celebration into a time full of anxiety and debt.

Abstract: While digital technologies are enabling information to be created, manipulated, disseminated, located, and stored with increasing ease, preserving access to this information poses a significant challenge. Digital preservation involves the use of well-defined techniques to prevent the original artifact from deteriorating further and to perhaps even improve it to the point where it can be used again. It involves quite different methods, skills, and outcomes and can complement traditional preservation services, while simultaneously providing unique and dynamic new uses of information.

Abstract: Web cataloguing' or 'metadata creation' is an effective strategy to enhance the resource- discovery on digital collection that can be accomplished by standard metadata schema. Technological capabilities now allow multiple metadata schemas for discovering web resources. This paper aims to present the progress of web-cataloguing using 'metadata' and its impact on precision of search results, in discovering web resources. It also proposes various means of creating metadata in order to pursue with the large databases and/or dynamic web pages. Several metadata initiatives provide glimpses of recent activities on 'metadata'. Here, an attempt has been made to discuss about different metadata schemas of which Dublin Core (DC) & MAachine Readable Cataloguing (MARC) seem to be widely accepted and used in cataloguing web resources. It also seems imperative to make a few modifications of the existing crosswalk between the DC & MARC-21 elements to be used in conversion of metadata from one into another. This discussion brings out the idea of OAI-PMH to make the metadata available to harvesters and attempts to explore the mechanism of DSpace for exposing metadata in a digital repository.

Abstract: The emerging Information Technologies have brought many changes in libraries. These technologies have facilitated LIS professionals to work together to acquire and share library collection and provide digital library services to the user community. Increase of the literature in all subjects and shrinking of the library budget made the libraries depend upon each other. This leads to library cooperation, resource sharing and networking. Now the more accepted system of resource sharing is library consortia. Consortia approach is one of the many ways of maintaining cooperation and coordination among the libraries and in fact it has emerged as the 'state of the art' in library cooperation in recent years. The online databases; electronic journals are facilitate the formation of consortia among the libraries. This paper highlights the past and existing resource sharing and networking status of Bangladesh. In this paper the authors also depict the benefits of library consortia and try to provide some recommendations for the formation of library consortia in Bangladesh.

Das, Subarna Kumar (INFLIBNET Center, November 9, 2006)[more][less]
Abstract: Meta search engines are powerful tools that search multiple search engines simultaneously. Unlike crawler-based search engines such as Google, AllTheWeb, AltaVista and others, meta search engines generally do not build and maintain their own web indexes. Instead, they use the indexes built by others, aggregating and often postprocessing results in unique ways. Meta search engines accept your query, and send it out to multiple search engines in parallel. They are often quite fast, using private "backdoor" servers made available by the search engines they query. They get this privileged status thanks to revenue sharing agreements. There are several advantages to using meta search engines, though they're not always the most appropriate tool. The most obvious advantage is that you can get results from multiple search engines without having to visit each in turn. Apart from the time savings, there is some evidence that this gives your search a broader scope, since each individual search engine's index differs from all others. Present paper attempts to highlights the role of meta search engine in web- based information retrieval URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1327 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Advances in Information Communication Technology (ICT) has created immense methods for creating, storing, maintaining, accessing and preserving the traditional printed documents in digital form. The different publishers have taken the full advantage of publishing the research outputs of the academicians and deprive the institutions and the community of the institution from the research outputs. This paper explores the importance of Institutional Repository (IR) and the role of the Open Source Software (OSS) in building the Institutional Repository of any institution. To publish and serve the community of an institution building institutional repositories is the most feasible solution. We have to take the help of some special software packages to build up an institutional repository and the role of open source software in this regard is very important. The institutions which are economically not strong enough can take the advantage of using open source software to build up their own institutional repository and can expose their knowledge stock to the world.

Hangsing, P (INFLIBNET Centre, November 9, 2006)[more][less]
Abstract: A general observation of the northeastern universities and specifics based on NEHU experiences indicates that the universities in the northeastern regions record comparatively lower percentage of usage. The poor statistical show is attributed to the infrastructural dwarf in the universities. The nature of skewed usage pattern is found similar to other empirical studies suggesting that such methods may be espoused to form the parameters for determining the core collection of the electronic journal consortium. The paper briefly examines the existing subscription deals and suggested that resorting to alternative deals may strengthen collection and ultimately the usage pattern. The paper also maintains that higher per capita expenditure per students should be encouraged in the region to buildup infrastructure and come at par with the mainstream.

Abstract: Indian education system is one of the largest and oldest education systems in the world. now in the Indian education system, universities form the base for success in higher education. Global competition in education system forced the Indian universities to change their curricula frequently and introduce new subjects, which impose a great demand to have good communication network infrastructure so that researchers, scholars and students can tap the most up-to-date information. To bring quality in higher education, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has taken major initiative to modernise the university campuses with the state-of-the-art campus wide networks and has set up its own nationwide communication network named UGC-Infonet. This paper introduces a cross-sectional view of this initiative. URI: 81-902079-3-8 Files in this item: 1

We are lucky, all of us in whose lives Gary has played a part. He was hit by a 15-person van just before dawn on Thursday while running with his friend Scott.
Word is, when Scott sat up, Gary was 30 feet away unconscious and bleeding from the head.
I first met Gar when he was in 7th grade. He and his sister Susan began coming to our house many days after school. And now when he comes to Boston we still have the pleasure of having him here in this house.: He sits working at his laptop in the living room. I sit working at mine one floor above him. He still paces when he talks on the phone, just like he did in middle school. I remember when he was 15 he blushed to see evidence of his own printing on an application he was making to prep school; he said it looked like something Calvin of Calvin and Hobbes would have written.
Last night my friend Marcia celebrated her 90th birthday. I couldn't be at her party but when she sent me this poem by Mary Oliver, I felt as if she were right in the room with me and knew just what all of us are feeling in this broadly defined family that Gary has gathered around himself over the years. It was written in autumn I guess but its message couldn't be more timely for us all now, as Gary is ushered safely hour by hour toward a return to health.

IBM Targets Small Business with z10 Mainframe
Aimed at small to mid-sized businesses, the Systems z10 Business Class (BC mainframe is IBM's leaner, cheaper version of the high-end mainframe released in February.
The z10BC is the small to middle business version of the Linux mainframe z10 Enterprise Class (EC) which took over from the Series z9 in February this year. According to IBM the stripped-down model with its quad-core processor, hardware accelerator and cryptographic functions, has much of the same innovative technology as the EC version. Linux developers Red Hat and Novell worked with IBM on the project and both offer special conditions to run their Linux versions on the Systems z10.
The compact Linux delivers capacity equal to 232 x86 servers and prices begin at $100.000 with an end-price, according to configuration, between $250.000 and $500.000, says IBM. Red Hat and Novell are tempting customers with discounts for both versions of Linux.
With the dimensions 0.8 x 2 x 1.8 meters (one cabinet), the "baby" needs 3.5 square meters of service clearance area and weighs 860 KG. At a room temperature of under 28 Celsius, the four I/O decks require together 6250 watts, the mini version 3700 watts. The z10 supports from 4 GB to 120 GB real memory with an option of up to 248 GB planned in June 2009. In comparison, the EC has between 16 and 1520GB RAM and measures 1.5 x 2 x 1.8 meters (two cabinets), fills 5.7 square meters of service space and weighs around 1250KG. The z10EC consumes between 9.700 and 27.500 watts and costs somewhere between 1 and 1.5 million dollars. The performance factor in comparison to single x86 processors lies by 1.5.
A detailed PDF technical overview is available from IBM with the reference number SG24-7632 (around 230 pages), along with a link to a slimmer PDF guide on the product page.

Last week, Santa Rosa County announced the locations of five recycling sites where residents can dispose of their live Christmas trees. The trees must be taken to the site by Monday, Feb. 28. Residents are asked to place trees in the designated area identified by signage and not in front of the recycling containers. The sites include:
The trees will be chipped and offered as free mulch at Clean Community System in Milton at a later date to be announced.
In addition to announcing the sites for tree disposal, county officials urged residents to not cut up and burn their trees in a home fireplace, as burning evergreens release tar and creosol, which can ignite and cause a chimney fire.
Residents are reminded that recycle areas are not disposal areas for furniture or household garbage that is not sorted recyclable material. Santa Rosa County recycle sites accept glass, metal, plastic containers, paper and cardboard. A list of all of Santa Rosa County's recycling points and accepted materials can be found online at www.santarosa.fl.gov/recycle.
