EndNote Web FAQs
EndNote Web is also known as EndNote Online or just as EndNote (or as EndNote Basic if it is stand-alone rather than linked with the desktop version). The terminology can be confusing. These FAQs cover some of the main things you need to know about EndNote Web. There is also some information in the EndNote desktop FAQs which may be useful when using the web version, for example some of the advice on working with EndNote and Word will apply to both versions.

EndNote Web and EndNote desktop
What are the differences between EndNote Web and EndNote desktop?
Both EndNote Web and EndNote desktop allow you to import references from databases to store in your library and link to Word to automate your citing and referencing. One difference is that EndNote desktop has unlimited storage capacity whereas EndNote Web storage is limited to 10,000 references (or 25,000 references if you use it alongside EndNote desktop).
Benefits of EndNote Web include being able to share libraries with colleagues, capture references from the Web and being able to access EndNote remotely without purchasing the desktop version.
Benefits of EndNote desktop include being able to edit output styles, work offline and customise displays and work in a more sophisticated desktop environment. You can store PDFs in your EndNote desktop library.
It is possible to store PDFs in EndNote Web if you use it alongside EndNote desktop (ie if you Sync it to EndNote desktop) but not if you use EndNote Web on its own. You may find this summary of the differences useful.
How do I synchronise my references between EndNote Web and EndNote desktop?
Synchronising references is possible when you are using versions of EndNote from X6 onwards. Go into EndNote desktop and click on the blue Sync button (or go to Tools – Sync). Enter your EndNote Web login details and click OK. The first time you Sync you will be taken through the process of creating a compressed library back-up. Once this is done, it will take a short while to synchronise your libraries. If you're not sure which version you are using, or how to update, then email email@example.com
Accessing EndNote Web
What are the system requirements for EndNote Web?
EndNote Web can be used on PCs and Macs, but the Cite-while-you-write plugin is not available for Linux. Browsers other than Internet Explorer and Firefox are not fully supported. The plugin is designed to be used with Microsoft Word. Please refer to the specific system requirements.
What should I do if I get a "Your roaming access has expired" message?
- Go to http://www.myendnoteweb.com
- Click on "Sign in via your institutional login". This will take you to a Web of Science page.
- Click on the drop down box under the heading "INSTITUTIONAL (SHIBBOLETH) USERS SIGN IN" and select "UK Federation" and click Go.
- On the next screen type "Cardiff University" in the search box and then when it appear click on it and then click continue.
- You will then be asked to login with your Cardiff computer username and password (same one you use to access your Cardiff email).
- It will then return you to the EndNote page and you need to login with your email address and EndNote password.
- Once it has logged you in, go to the Account Information page and you should see that you now have 365 days on your roaming profile and an expiry date.
- You only need to go through this process once a year; the rest of the time you log in to EndNote Web using your email and EndNote password.
How do I keep my references when I leave?
Your EndNote Web account can be used for 12 months after you leave the University, but will then be deactivated. To keep your references you can export them in various formats by clicking on the Format tab in EndNote Web and then selecting Export references.
Exporting references from databases into EndNote Web
How do I export references from LibrarySearch?
LibrarySearch results can currently be directly transferred to EndNote Web but not EndNote desktop. To transfer an individual record to EndNote Web:
- Click on the Find & Request, Details, or Reviews & Tags tab beneath the record.
- Then click on Send to in the top right-hand corner of the window which opens.
- Choose EndNote Web from the drop down menu. EndNote Web will automatically open in a new window.
- Log in to your EndNote Web account and you will see a message confirming the record has been transferred.
- Click on My References in EndNote Web to see the record in your unfiled folder.
To export multiple results to EndNote Web:
- Sign In to LibrarySearch.
- Then add the items you require to your e-Shelf by clicking on the star icon next to them.
- When you have finished, select the e-Shelf link at the top right of the screen.
- Select the records you want to transfer.
- Ensure Push to EndNote Web is selected in the 'Push to' drop down menu and select Go.
If you would like to include your EndNote Web references in your EndNote desktop library, you will need to Sync your EndNote desktop and EndNote Web libraries.
Using EndNote Web with the Word plug-in
How do I install the Word plugin at home?
To use the Word plugin for citing and referencing on your own machine you must download the plugin from http://www.myendnoteweb.com . It is recommended that you use Internet Explorer to download this plugin if possible. Once logged in to myEndNoteWeb:
- Go to Options > Download Installers.
- Download the appropriate "Cite While You Write" plugin (either Mac or Windows).
- Close all open windows (Word, IE) before running the EndNote Web installer.
- To verify the installation of the Word plugin, open Word and look for the EndNote Web toolbar.
What should I do if I get an error message in Microsoft Word stating that I cannot connect to EndNote Online?
- Go to http://wok.mimas.ac.uk/ and select the following option: "Problems with access? Try this Alternative Link."
- Select the blue link for 'Institutional users (Shibboleth)'.
- Choose UK Federation from the drop-down menu. Search for and select Cardiff University.
- Enter your Cardiff University username and password.
- If this does not work, please clear cache and cookies from your web browser. Then close and re-open the web browser and repeat the above steps.
How do I exclude author_year from my citations in the text?
Sometimes you need to exclude the author or year from your citation, for example: "Dawson (2009) stresses the importance of spending time thinking before moving on to the planning stage of a research project." As the author's name has been used in the sentence you don't need to include it in the citation. To do this, insert the citation as normal then right click on the citation, Edit Citation > Exclude Author. The year can be excluded by choosing Exclude Year. You can also do this by selecting the citation and then clicking on Edit Citation in the EndNote Web toolbar. A dialogue box will open where you can tick the box to exclude author and/or exclude year.
I can't see the referencing style I want in Word
When you select a referencing style from the Endnote Web toolbar in Word you will initially see styles from A-E. Choose Select Another Style to see the full list of styles. If you only see the "Annotated style":
- Close Word
- Log in to http://www.myendnoteweb.com
- Click on Format > Bibliography
- Select Favourites
- From the All box click on the style that you would like to use then click on the Copy to Favorites button
- Open Word. You should now see that your 'Favourite' styles are listed in in the styles drop-down.
If there is no style for the journal you wish to publish in, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
How do I turn a document into plain text to enable amendments?
EndNote has a feature to remove all the codes and convert the file to standard text. This process cannot be reversed and:
- Bibliography entries will not automatically update the bibliography
- You cannot change the style again
- All connections to the EndNote library and references are broken.
But what you can do is make changes that won't "undo themselves" when EndNote updates and you can amend references citations and footnotes without EndNote being able to overwrite your amendments at a later date. It is advised that you carry out this procedure at the end of creating the document on which you are working.
- In Word's EndNote tab click on the down arrow next to Convert Citations and Bibliography.
- Click on Convert to Plain Text.
A dialog box will ask if you would like to save a copy of the document with the EndNote field codes. Save a copy of the document with the EndNote field codes. You will now have a saved copy of the document with EndNote field codes and an unsaved copy of the document without EndNote field codes.
Storing PDFs
How do I store PDFs in my EndNote Web library?
First Sync your EndNote Web library with Endnote desktop on-campus to ensure you have the features available with our new version of EndNote Web, which includes storing PDFs. If you are viewing a list of references you can add attachments by clicking on the paperclip icon then 'Attach files' or if you are viewing an individual reference just click 'Attach files'. The total amount of space available for file attachments in EndNote Web is 1GB.
Sharing references
How do I share my references with other EndNote Web users?
Under the "Organise" tab you can create, delete or rename your own Groups (up to 500) to help categorise your references.
- After creating a group, mark the "Share Group" box to share the references in that group with other EndNote Web users. Click the 'Manage Sharing' and 'Start Sharing' links to enter an email address. Multiple email addresses may be entered at the same time. You have the option to give read only access or read and write access. NB read and write access will enable others to delete references from your groups.
- Once you have shared a group a people icon will appear next to the group so you know it is shared.
- The person you have 'shared' your references with is not alerted by this process but the next time they login to Endnote Web they will see 'Groups Shared by Others' in the list below their own groups.
When a person shares their group with you, they can choose whether to grant you read and write access. If they do give you write access then a pen icon will appear next to the group.
EndNote Web further help
How can I get further help with EndNote Web?
You can access the EndNote company's own Knowledge Base and Frequently Asked Questions. You can also contact your home library or email email@example.com if you need further advice.

The 39th Germany Travel Mart (GTM), hosted by the German National Travel Bureau (GNTB) with Stuttgart-Marketing GmbH, May 5 – 7, 2013, created a valuable forum for providers to meet key buyers from the international travel industry. The forum provided the opportunity to obtain the latest news and trends of the German tourism industry. For hosted buyers, a variety of educational programs were available that included presentations on trends and products, as well as panel discussions.
The three-day event in Stuttgart was well-represented with around 620 informed buyers and international journalists from 42 countries who interacted with over 350 German suppliers, ranging from the hotel industry and ground handlers to the local and regional tourist organizations.
"The GTM is the most important B2B platform for Destination Germany. In this star-studded forum, German suppliers met with key account managers from around the world to work together worldwide to optimally market Germany as a travel destination", said Petra Hedorfer, CEO, German National Tourist Board.
During the international press conference, Petra Hedorfer reported that "the highest-revenue source market for Germany last year was the U.S."…"In the rankings of Germany's highest-revenue source markets, the USA was a clear leader with revenues of around €4.3 billion ($5.5 billion) in 2012," followed by Switzerland and Russia.
The German National Tourist Board (DZT) utilized social media platforms to engage users through multimedia reporting on GTM activities. Increased engagement on GTM provided the trade, media, and the general public with access to presentations, visuals, audio and video podcasts both on the GTM website and on Twitter with a total of about 300 tweets on the hash tag #gtm13 throughout the event.
The venues were designed to highlight Stuttgart Region's main visitor attractions with a reception in the New Palace and an informal networking evening reception with local cuisine in the heart of Stuttgart. The opening event began with a forum in Schlosspark in Ludwigsburg, followed by an impressive celebration in the Baroque former royal residence of Ludwigsburg Palace. Other highlights included an exclusive evening event in the spectacular Mercedes-Benz Museum and a visit to the Stuttgart Spring Festival.
At the conclusion of GMT, the DZT quickly surveyed and found that nearly 98 percent of the participants were satisfied with the overall event or were very satisfied and considered it extremely effective and important.
American participants from the travel trade and media found the workshop stimulating since it brought together a diverse group of travel professionals, who had interest in exploring various destinations and attractions of Germany, particularly in the city of Stuttgart and its surrounding regions.
Various pre-convention tours were offered to participants on different aspects of Germany in advance of the GTM. For international buyers, there were seven tours, which comprised of different subjects, including the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, German Fairy Tale Road, Rural & Sustainability, Youth Travel, Luther, Health & Wellness and Accessible Travel. The two pre-convention tours for journalists on the UNESCO World Heritage Sites and the European Route of Industrial Heritage highlighted the cultural and industrial aspects of German travel.

San Francisco is the second-largest city in California behind Los Angeles. When it comes to feature films, San Francisco does not usually come to mind. However, San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge, its lush hills and quirky street cars have been used as the backdrop for dozens of movies. Some of them have been quit memorable and poignant.
"Mrs. Doubtfire" (1993)
Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) is a struggling San Francisco actor who excels at doing voices and creating characters but has a tough time finding steady work and handling responsibility. His wife Miranda (Sally Field) has had enough when she comes home from work and sees her house run completely amok. After Miranda divorces him, Daniel is despondent because he cannot spend enough time with his kids. Miranda is having a tough time managing her house because she must work. She decides to place an ad for a housekeeper who can supervise her children and keep them on a solid path while she is working, just the opposite of the way her husband did when he ran the house. Daniel decides he needs a second chance and he invents a character called Mrs. Doubtfire to answer the ad. His disguise is so good that he fools his ex-wife and then does a sensational job of creating discipline in the house—and he wins the respect of his ex-wife and gets to share equal custody.
This is a story of a depression-era championship horse, who started racing at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. The combination of horse owner Charles Howard (Jeff Bridges), trainer Tom Smith (Chris Cooper), jockey Red Pollard (Tobey Maguire) and Seabiscuit do not appear to be the stuff of legends, as all are struggling. Yet Howard sees something he likes in the horse and Smith notices a special quality about him. When they team up with the combative Pollard, it all comes together and Seabiscuit not only becomes a winning horse, he develops into one of the great champions in horse racing history. He does the bulk of his racing in the Bay Area and ultimately travels across country to prove himself as an all-time great.
"American Graffiti" (1973)
Four San Francisco teenagers are celebrating their last night together before they all go off to college. They want to have an adventure before splitting up and that means finding girls and having a great time. One of the boys, Curt (played by Richard Dreyfuss) becomes infatuated by a beautiful blonde driving around in a white Thunderbird while Steve (played by Ron Howard) wants nothing more than to patch things up with his girlfriend after he had suggested they date other people. Their two friends John (Paul Le Mat) and Terry (Charles Martin Smith) have a wild night.
"Dirty Harry" (1971)
Clint Eastwood's acting resume. Harry Callahan is one of the toughest and smartest detectives on the San Francisco police department. The city is being terrorized by maniacal killer known as Scorpio and Callahan is assigned the case. Callahan is put to the test by a killer who is as intent on playing games with Callahan as he is on inflicting mayhem on the city.
"A View To A Kill" (1985)
This James Bond action movie features Roger Moore in the starring role. Bond has a computer chip in his possession that is capable of withstanding a nuclear pulse that would destroy normal chips. The chip's maker, Max Zorin (Christopher Walken) wants to use it to set off an earthquake along the San Andreas Fault that will destroy the entire area. Bond's mission is to prevent this from happening.

Public Involvement
Washington County has been a leader in the delivery of innovative and proactive transportation projects for a number of years. Washington County's position as a leader in the delivery of transportation improvement projects is in part due to its long-standing commitment to involving the public in the overall process.
An effective public involvement process for a transportation project includes certain critical components or objectives. Based on accepted industry standards, and past experience administering large and small transportation projects, Washington County has established the following public involvement objectives:
- Provide general information about the county and its transportation program.
- Provide specific project information, which may include 1) Project needs, goals, and constraints; 2) Scope of Work; 3) Schedule; and 4) Construction Impacts.
- Ensure citizens understand the public involvement process, and how they can become involved and participate.
- Provide the public the opportunity to make recommendations concerning design features of the project, community impacts, and mitigation measures.
To achieve the public involvement objectives previously stated, the County will utilize several available resources. These resources include the County website, press releases, citizen participation organizations, informational mailings, neighborhood meetings and open houses, project focus groups, and formal public meetings. The public involvement plan is tailored for each particular project to ensure it meets the needs of all parties.
Washington County encourages citizens to become involved to the extent they desire. If you have questions about a project or how to get involved in a transportation improvement project contact Capital Project Management at (503) 846-7800 or email.

"Fisheye View" plugin for NetBeans
While I'm on my plugin-writing rampage, I just committed a plugin I was working on a few years ago to NetBeans source base. It's a fisheye view of the editor. Just drag the mouse in the error marker bar on the left of the editor, and get an overview of your whole file and rapidly navigate it! A picture is worth a thousand words...
The basic thinking is, if you're working in a source file you're familiar with, you probably know your way around it well enough that an outline of what it looks like will be useful, and being able to scroll through it all very rapidly is more efficient than dragging a scrollbar (if you just want to look, but not scroll anywhere, just release the mouse outside the error marker bar; if you release it inside it, the editor will be scrolled to what you were looking at and the caret moved there). And if an error marker shows up somewhere in your source file, but it's above or below what is visible, then in one mouse gesture you can both see the error message (which you could see by hovering the mouse on the error marker bar beside the editor, or in the task list if you have it open), and you can also see the code associated with the error without losing your place in the editor by scrolling or changing the caret position. It shows any annotation (error markers, breakpoints, bookmarks, etc.) by highlighting it, and providing a description is one is available (same as the tooltip for the mark in the error bar).
It also was a chance to have fun with some animated fade-ins for the component itself and the text-bubbles that show the annotation text. The code for it is actually not NetBeans-specific. It is a general-purpose text fish-eye view for Swing text components which will work with any JTextComponent and another component to drag the mouse on, so this can be used in any Swing application (as long as you don't mind that it will screw around with the glass pane of whatever window it's in) - the sources are in
contrib/fisheye - just one interface to implement to use it.
Alas, I'm doing a bit of a hack to hook into the error marker bar, so it is using an implementation dependency to get access to it. So publishing a binary would be somewhat useless, since it requires that it run against the exact version of the error marker bar that it was compiled against. But I can probably get it on the update center for development builds.
So ideally this would be tuned a little more and go into the actual NetBeans distro. If you think this would be a Good Thing, you can vote for enhancement request 163729.
And of course, if you think it's a horrible or insane idea, comment below :-)

by timboudreau - 2009-06-01 10:31Right now, I'm afraid so. Hopefully I can get it into the dev update center soon.
by timboudreau - 2009-05-31 19:45You shouldn't need a library wrapper - there's already a module in contrib/ that integrates it. At present you'll need to build it (a silly Windows keepalive bug in Mercurial has prevented me from adding it to the daily build update centers). You should just be able to build nb and build contrib/fisheye, start the IDE and it's there.
by grantbharris - 2009-05-31 11:12Tim -- I really like the idea... just can't get it to work. I created a module project, downloaded the source files, created an nbm, and installed it, but nothing happens when I drag in the error column of the editor. I'm using NB 6.5.1. Any thoughts?

January 16 – February 09, 2013
Reception: Wednesday, January 23, 7pm-11pm
For those of us interested in furniture, it is not always the object alone that we are after. During our studies at OCAD University, and within the furniture program, we have had the opportunity to explore and develop our thinking around the role of furniture as a medium of personal expression, as a reflection of social and cultural etiquette, and as an influence upon human activity. This exhibition presents a glimpse into that discussion.
This exhibition is sponsored by Mark McCain, Caro Macdonald and Keilhauer. The OCAD U Student Gallery is sponsored by Above Ground Art Supplies.

|Meet the Designer-Artist
I find inspiration in the materials which are on my bench at the time, and also in my surroundings. Sometimes the materials I have collected seem to lead me in directions that I might not ordinarily go, and at other times, something that has happened or something I have seen will inspire me to recreate a design for that moment.
My home and studio are surrounded by woods and wildlife, and my love of nature is a recurring theme in much of my work. I feel that today, most people are removed from the rhythms of nature and this has caused us to harm our environment. I hope that some of my feeling for the bugs, animals and plants that I create comes across to the wearer.
Generally, I am most proud of the piece I am currently working on. However, I am proud of all the pieces I have made that have won awards, and especially the ones that have been featured in the Fire Mountain backcover magazine advertisements.
Share Your Background
I was introduced to beading at a very early age, probably 7 or 8, by my mother, who would sometimes do what she called "Indian beading" on a small loom.
I was given a Fire Mountain catalog by a friend who also did beading many years ago and that was when things really took off with my beading. Although I had been selling pieces off and on to friends and family, Fire Mountain's Beading Contests were what really pushed me into doing it as a living. I won two 2nd prizes with my work in the first contest I ever entered. It's been nonstop since then. So, thank you Fire Mountain.
Beading Success
Jewelry-making is my livelihood. I currently work mainly in Art Clay Silver metal clay. I teach others how to make jewelry out of metal clay and sell jewelry at a number of galleries in my area. My work has been featured in numerous books and publications. I have authored articles on jewelry-making for magazines such as Art Jewelry, Bead Trends and Fired Arts and Crafts. Besides winning a number of 1st and 2nd prizes for my work with Fire Mountain, I also won 2nd prize in the 2008 North American Design contest with a small silver metal clay sculpture of a turtle hatching. In the fall of 2008, I enrolled in the Metal Clay Master's Registry and in July of 2009, I became the 7th person in the world to attain Registry 1. So as you can see, jewelry-making plays an extremely significant role in my life.
View all of Michela's designs in the Gallery of Designs.
What inspired you to donate your bead(s) to Circle of Hope?
While I haven't had Breast Cancer, I am a cancer survivor.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate sports reporter
After a tough performance during a tournament held at Panguitch, all the PHS baseball team wanted to do was put the losses behind them.
They responded with a 20-6 win over Telos on Monday afternoon.
"It was good to get a win and get the team back on track," said head coach Cam Gardner.
With the run-rule win, Gardner said the entire roster was able to get in some playing time which should help as the team heads into Region 17 play with a doubleheader on the road against Manila on Friday.
"The win was a real confidence builder for us and now we're excited to try and go out and get our first region win," said Gardner.

Abilene volunteers give gift of mobility in wheelchair 'ramp blitz'
After spending more than a month in a hospital bed, 45-year-old Abilene resident Robert Rushford was eager to get back on his feet.
However, he was resigned to a wheelchair for weeks, which made it difficult for him to climb the stairs leading to the front door of his mobile home. He's walking again now, but his wife normally gets around in an electric wheelchair.
The Texas Ramp Project, an organization that builds wheelchair ramps at the homes of disabled and indigent people, set out to make the Rushfords' lives a lot easier Saturday morning. By 11 a.m., about 10 volunteers had almost finished building a wheelchair ramp for Rushford and his wife, who live in the 6500 block of South Third Street.
"I think it's real neat," Rushford said. "I'm just glad to know there's organizations out there to help people."
The construction project at the Rushfords' home was just one of 13 in Abilene on Saturday, as nearly 150 volunteers from the Dyess We Care Team, the Kiwanis Club of Abilene, Abilene Christian University, West Texas Rehabilitation Clinic and other groups donated their time to build the ramps.
Saturday's 13-project endeavor was dubbed "ramp blitz" by volunteers.
Since 2006, 2,885 wheelchair ramps have been built by volunteers with The Texas Ramp Project. They have constructed 14.6 miles of ramps and amassed 104,054 volunteer hours in that time. The nonprofit is funded in part by the state and in part by churches and civic organizations.
Andrew Turnbull, 50, served as a team leader for the project at the Rushfords' home. He was modest about his role in construction.
"Once you've done it a couple times, it's really easy," Turnbull said.
The building blocks of the ramps are what Turnbull called "modules," four-by-four squares built from wooden boards. Multiple modules are linked together with electric drills and later covered by a thin, wide piece of wood. Building the handrail, which Turnbull acknowledged is the "most difficult" part of the project, is one of the last phases.
Airman Cody Byrne, 20, volunteered for the project Saturday with the Dyess We Care Team. He said carpentry has always been an interest of his, and he was looking for volunteer work, making him a shoe-in for The Texas Ramp Project.
Byrne, the designated woodcutter at the ramp project in the 1100 block of Jeanette, said he had fun Saturday. They might not have whistled while they worked, but he and other volunteers played 1950s music — Chuck Berry — on the radio for the homeowner.
"I'm glad I did it," Byrne said. "Even if you don't have faith, it gives you something spiritually. It gives you something inside."

With the preseason well underway, and all the questions regarding who will start at quarterback or where the team will finish in 2013, today's a good day to look at what I believe the future will be for our New York Jets.
Last week, the Jets took on the Detroit Lions in their first preseason game of the season. On the fourth offensive play of the game, Mark Sanchez threw a pass that he shouldn't have and it was intercepted and returned for a touchdown. Is this a preview of the upcoming season, or just one of those things that happen in a preseason game?
Sanchez continues to make the same mistakes that you expect from a rookie quarterback, not someone who has been in the league for several years. I am not saying that Geno Smith should start game one, but Mark cannot continue to play like this without some consequences.
Rex Ryan will not confirm who will start Week 1, as of today, but continues to give the impression that he will go with Mark.
The Jets season begins with a very tough 8-game stretch. After reviewing the games, I would be very surprised if the team wins more than 2 or 3 of them. They play the Patriots twice and have difficult games with Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and New Orleans. In fact of their first 10 games, I imagine that the team might be favored only once—a home game against the Bills.
Therefore, any success during this period would be a surprise.
More after the jump…
The schedule does open up with the last 6 games, and, in fact, the Jets could finish strong.
Looking at this, I do not see any reason to continue with Mark. They probably can win 1 or 2 more games with him at quarterback, but what does that accomplish for the future? He is not going to be here after this year and we need to know if we actually have a quarterback for the franchise.
Geno, according to Rex yesterday, had a very "brutal" day and made many mistakes. This is not a surprise when you're a rookie in the NFL. Interceptions in practice should not influence any decisions about the future of the team. Every player has good days and bad days, but all that matters is what happens during actual games. We do not know much about Geno in NFL games yet, but we do know a lot about Mark.
Please Rex, make the right decision for the Jet organization and the fans, not for the future of your job.
This week, the team welcomes the Jaguars of Jacksonville, an organization that has as much, if not more, problems than our Jets. I know these are just preseason games, but go out there and make some kind of statement that last year is over, and this is the beginning of change. We have not won a Super Bowl since 1969, and if we are going to win another, we need to change the mindset of the team, and start a new approach to winning. That starts with the owner and goes all the way to the last member of the team.
These cannot be the "SAME OLD JETS".

Jila Baniyaghoob, freelance reporter and editor-in-chief of the website Kanoon Zanan Irani (Iranian Women Center), has fearlessly reported on government and social oppression, particularly as they affect women. She has been fired from several jobs because she refuses to censor the subject matter of her reporting and several of her media outlets have been closed by the government. The topics of her reporting make her a target of the Iranian government. She has been beaten, arrested and imprisoned numerous times.
For almost 20 years, Amira Hass has written critically about both Israeli and Palestinian authorities. A reporter and columnist for Ha'aretz Daily, she has demonstrated her ability to defy boundaries of gender, ethnicity and nationality in her pursuit of the truth in her reporting. In covering the Palestinian Occupied Territories, her goal has been to provide her readers with detailed information about Israeli policies and especially that of restrictions of the freedom of movement. For many years, she made her home first in Gaza City and then in Ramallah.

Iberville Head Start workers must reapply for jobs
PLAQUEMINE- Employees of the parish's Head Start program may reapply for their positions at an upcoming job fair.
The Head Start chief administrative officer, Edwards Songy, told parish councilmen Tuesday that the event, open only to current Head Start employees, will be held May 29-30 at Nottaway Plantation.
Last month, the council voted to cede control of the federally mandated program, citing the inability to afford its $315,000 annual cost.
The parish has begun the process of turning over the program, which has 360 students and 61 teachers and staff at six locations, to the federal government.
Parish President Mitch Ourso has said the parish school district has not expressed interest in taking over the Head Start program.

Mr. Rittenbaum, you may begin.
Mark Rittenbaum
Good morning and welcome to our first quarter fiscal 2009 conference call. On today's call, we will discuss our results and make a few remarks about the quarter that ended on November 30. We will then provide an outlook for 2009 and beyond. After that we will open it up for questions.
As always, matters discussed in this conference call include forward-looking statements within the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Throughout our discussion today, we will describe some of the important factors that could cause Greenbrier's actual results in 2009 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of Greenbrier.
Today we reported a net loss for our first quarter of $3.3 million or $0.20 per diluted share on revenues of $256 million. We also announced we are reducing our dividend from $0.08 per share to $0.04 per share.
Turning back to the quarter the results included a non-cash charge of $1.2 million pre-tax, $0.6 million after tax or $0.04 per share. The background on this is as a normal course of our business we have a policy of hedging our currency exposure over in Europe to lock in our margins on foreign currency sales. We have been doing this since we entered into European operations ten years ago. All of our hedge contracts and all of our hedging is economically effective but during the quarter we determined a small number of our contracts for technical reasons did not meet all of the requirements to be designated for hedge accounting treatment under GAAP. Therefore we are required to mark those specific contracts to market through the income statement and this resulted in a non-cash charge to interest in foreign exchange of $1.2 million.
Effective in January these contracts will meet the requirements for hedge account treatment and at that time we are no longer required to mark these contracts to market through the P&L.
Turning to liquidity our revolving debt balance declined by $40 million since quarter end and we have additional committed borrowing availability of approximately $138 million.
In addition to that our cash balance is $19 million.
We believe we have adequate liquidity to manage through this downturn. As both Bill and I will address in more detail in downturns such as this our focus is on liquidity and cash flow. We are making and will continue to take aggressive measures to pay down debt, remain liquid and rationalize the sizing of our operations and cost structure to reflect the current environment.
I will now turn the call over to our CO, Bill Furman, and then he will turn it back to me and after that we will open it up for some questions.
Bill Furman
Thank you Mark and good morning. On today's call I am going to make some remarks about the quarter that just ended, Greenbrier's competitive position, the current industry environment and the steps we are taking to improve our performance and liquidity in this difficult environment. Finally I will provide some qualitative outlook comments for the year ahead.
Turning to our first quarter the financial results were disappointing but our first quarter result, as Mark just summarized, reflect the very difficult economic environment in which we and other companies in America are operating. This is particularly true in new rail car manufacturing, a segment which continues to have a substantial revenue base for Greenbrier.
The less cyclical parts of our business which include refurbishment and parts, marine manufacturing, leasing and services along with our European operations helped dampen the effects of operating in this environment. However, as was reflected in our first quarter results none of our businesses are immune from that environment.
Our refurbishment and parts business was impacted by lower scrap prices and an unfavorable mix in lower volumes of work. Scrap prices have started to rebound which will benefit this unit as the pipeline clears from older materials and surcharges that have somewhat distorted the quarter for that unit. Revenues for this segment still grew 27% over Q1 2008.
Our leasing services business was affected by lower lease rate utilization and lower gains on fleet rail car sales. However, our own lease fleet of 9,000 cars under management services for an additional 37,000 cars provides us with stable earnings and cash flow.
Our manufacturing business was most impacted during the first quarter due to lower production rates, a less favorable product mix and higher cost of materials purchased earlier in the year. Additionally a loss contingency of $.5 million was reported on rail cars currently in backlog as reserves reported in fiscal 2008 were adjusted based on current expectations reflecting lower run rates and the mix just described.
On a more positive note, commodity prices have declined considerably in recent months in turn lowering input costs on new freight car construction. This may lead to some bargain hunting by customers. We do expect our new rail car backlog to benefit from a more favorable product mix and lower input costs for the remainder of the year.
Our new rail car backlog is 15,900 units of which 2,900 are currently scheduled for delivery in fiscal 2009. As is to be expected in this environment all customers are pushing back, seeking concessions and/or cancellations with their suppliers. We are certainly doing this with our suppliers and renegotiating costs on components given the very large swings in commodity prices and the variability and weakness in those prices today. Our customers are doing it with us.

Another Townie Bike, Skiing from Work, and Kinda Like a Ski Resort For Under $30
Several weeks ago in between the December blizzard of the decade and the 4-day January snow offering (54 inches deposited, I believe), the snow receded well enough on the bike lanes and paths for me to take an excursion to New Frontiers for bread and cheese. Upon arriving, I found this nifty townie bike locked characteristically to one of the generous bike racks under the New Frontier covered porch. I say "characteristically" because New Frontiers is one of the few establishments in town where I am likely to see other shoppers roaming the aisles with their bikes helmets and panniers under one arm and a loaf of artisan bread and a copy of Utne under the other. Anyway, I found the slightly rusty finish and the faded paint of the town bike utterly charming and wondered if it was indeed a vintage bike pulled out of the landfill or extracted from gramma's old woodshed. Not that it matters. Other than my preference for step-through frames and an upright seating position, I am really not a bike snob.
Snow was predicted today but never came. It is predicted tonight and tomorrow. If it looks do-able, I'll attempt to navigate the Breezer down the steep and slippery driveway tomorrow. If its snowing I'll just pack my skis and ski home, as I did this afternoon. Those skis were definitely one of the best Christmas gifts ever. No, it is not bike commuting but it proves an acceptable substitute for the car. Today's skiing conditions were perfect. The snow deep, well packed, and just slick enough for a good glide. I spent 30 minutes extra practicing hills, which still challenge my courage.
I referenced ski resorts in my title. Given the economic times, the Planner Guy and I can't really afford ski resorts, even the sort-of ski resort in Flagstaff. Happily for us, our friend Dave built a house in Mountainaire that, for me, is like his own private ski resort. He invited a pack of people, including us, out to his house this past Sunday afternoon for 5 hours of skiing in the Coconino National Forest to which he has access literally in his back yard. His house is rustic, warm and welcoming. We packed beer and snacks for the outing and stopped a few times to rest and partake. Three trusty canine companions joined our group, one of which circled me whenever I appeared to be having trouble. At the end of the trip we gathered in David's kitchen for a pot luck of warm and hearty fare of which we all enjoyed several helpings, and of course, beer and wine. The day and the people kept all thoughts of the recession far, far away.

So. Much. Snow. It's awesome that you ski for transportation. I've never even thought of that before.

Don't feel bad about reaching your point of acceptance. Each of us has our personal weather/road condition threshold. Yours sounds prudent rather than foolhardy. That you get to ski home beats having to drive!
Again, "Why drive when I can ski/bike/walk?" seems to run counter to our societal norms, but it works for you.

First off I loved the bit about your dog guardian friend who loyally, caringly looked after you!
Love the One (bicycle) You're With" to quote that old Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song - that's what I say!
If we all put off riding a bicycle until we could have (afford really) the Dream Bicycle of our Mirage...that could take a long time. Especially when we're talking Oma, Pashley, Bats to name a few.
Given economic realities your situation is my predicament as well. I didn't have the $700.00 vet bill, and/or a pending pay cut but I find myself in a similar scenario as yourself. Alas I can't join the '2K bicycle girls bicycle club' yet myself!! Though I highly recommend it to those who can do it.
Yeah for walking and skiing until the spring season returns again for safe and pleasurable bicycle riding on your Breezer!

The biking scene is the same here in Montana. I thought the roads had cleared off enough for biking (Be still my heart!) and then it snowed again. I've been having sooo much fun x-country skiing, though, and it looks like you're doing the same. Don't despair.

I think it's wonderful you ski to work and great that you have friends in high (altitude) places! It's the choosing to travel under your own power that matters more than the equipment you use it seems to me and I'm inspired by your commetment to do things differently despite weather or anything else. Also, love that faded old bike!

Thanks for the fun article. I live in a mountain town--close to a ski resort, though I hardly get up there. I bike. No matter how cold or icy...though not a classic as you highlight.
Thanks for sharing.

The Baltimore Ravens terminated star running back Ray Rice's contract Monday after video surfaced earlier in the day of him striking his then-fiancee in the elevator of an Atlantic City casino in February.

DON'T GET ME STARTED thinks it would only be fitting that Bill Belichick and Tom Brady deliver the eulogy after burying the Bills 52-28 Sunday afternoon.
I watched the expression on the face of defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt in the press box when the network cameras would focus on him. A smile at half-time, then horror and disbelief on his face in the second half. It was not a pretty sight as he observed his defense crumble in the face of Tom Brady's ruthless attack on the Bills in the 52-28 Bills loss.
Can anyone imagine that a Bills defense that previously in its history featured the likes of Bruce Smith, Fred Smerlas, Darryl Talley, Cornelius Bennet, etc. would give up 100 points in two losses to the division rival Patriots & Jets? Yet, that's what happened and it will be interesting to see if Wannstedt can come up with answers.
Certainly, trailing at half-time, Belichick and Brady had the answers. Stuff the running game right down the throats of a hapless Bills defense.
Watching the Bills defense destroyed made one yearn for the return of Walt Corey (swizzle stick as well) to handle the Bills defense as he did in the late 80s and early 90s when Buffalo went to four straight supers.
Run and stop the run is no longer a catch phrase. It's something the Bills have to adopt since Sunday afternoon they didn't run and certainly they didn't stop the run. My recollection of the Miami Dolphins Larry Csonka and Jim Kick – not to mention Mercury Morris – saw them have running backs for a hundred or more.
Maybe it's time to move Wannstedt to the sidelines rather than the comfort of the press box. Maybe he will be able to figure out what is wrong with his defense – one that he changed in the off-season from a 3-4 to a 4-3. Against top competition, it isn't working. Hell, the Jets can no longer be considered top competition and they riddled the Bills "D" in the season opener.
Maybe he can cajole his leader? Chan Gailey to keep his defense off the field. Gailey's offense surrendered 6 turn-overs – 4 interceptions and two fumbles. Belichick turned so many turnovers into points.
In one game, Fitzpatrick showed his inconsistency. 4 touchdown passes – negated by 4 interceptions.
Ralph Wilson emptied the vault to build the defense and so far he hasn't been rewarded. Oh, they managed to beat Kansas City and Cleveland – two of the NFL's woeful teams at this point in the season. But against New England, they gave up a whopping 580 yards.
Mario Williams? A coveted free agent? $100 million? Spare me the thought. Fred Smerlas, Bruce Smith and others would be worth over $200 million because they produced. One sack in 4 games by Williams won't get it done.
Other teams will look at the woeful run defense of the Bills and they'll be licking their chops, feeling they will gain in the standings when facing Buffalo. Imagine two Patriot running backs going over 100 yards on the day.
Brady was almost clean – he suffered only one sack but the big failure of the Bills was allowing Brady to complete passes on 3rd and long too many times. No big pressure resulted in the Bills secondary being blistered time and time again – especially on those 3rd down plays.
Buffalo had the edge 21-7 early in the 3rd quarter but the other coach – Gailey – called some plays that may be baffling. Inside the Pats 10, New England knew they were going to run the ball. They not only stuffed it – they forced the fumble that turned the game completely around.
Fitzpatrick? He threw more interceptions in this one game than he had thrown in the previous four. He finally went over the 300 yard passing game – including 4 touchdown passes……but where New England converted critical 3rd down plays – Fitzpatrick didn't.
So the players now head west to two big winning teams- San Francisco and Arizona. While they are there, maybe they should take a look at the USC quarterback who will likely be the first pick in next year's draft.
There's not too much time to correct the many, many faults of the Bills and maybe Wannstedt should join Gailey on the sidelines to try to inject some fire in his defense on Don't Get Me Started.

The game is the first part of a double-header with the men's basketball team who takes on in-state rival Louisiana Tech.
NSU's athletic department and the Natchitoches Area Jaycees teamed up to support the M.A.S.H. (Make a Smile Happen) Toy Drive that benefits children throughout Natchitoches Parish this holiday season. Fans who donate a new toy at the door will receive a general admission ticket for just $4.
Northwestern State (4-3) is in the midst of the toughest part of its schedule losing to Oklahoma on Friday and Houston on Nov. 24. The Lady Demons will go on to play at Arkansas and Mississippi State after taking on Prairie View (1-4), who has advanced to the NCAA tournament last season.
The Panthers are coming off a win at Memphis 70-58 Sunday Nov. 2, but lost to Southland Conference program Stephen F. Austin 62-55 in early November.
Jasmine Upchurch leads the Lady Demons in points (11.9) and rebounds (6.1) per game and Janelle Perez follows with 11 points a contest.
Prairie View is led this season by Latia Williams who averages 15.8 points a game and 10. 4 rebounds a game. Kiara Etienne scores 14.6 points a game and Larissa Scott pulls down 8 boards a contest.
NSU will round out its pre-conference schedule at Arkansas and Mississippi State in late December, and then return home for the conference opener against McNeese State Jan. 3.

Jalapeño Poppers
No Super Bowl party (or any gathering, for that matter) would be complete without poppers. But this baked version is even better: there's no grease to be found—just light, crunchy and creamy bites with a bit of heat.
Total Time:
Level: Easy
Serves: 24
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
- 4 oz. Neufchâtel cream cheese
- 2 oz. extra-sharp Cheddar
- 12 small jalapeños (about ½ lb)
- 2 large egg whites
- ¾ c. fine cornmeal
- Heat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese and Cheddar. Spoon into a resealable plastic bag and snip off one corner. Cut the jalapeños in half lengthwise, then remove and discard the seeds. Pipe the cheese mixture into the pepper halves.
- In a second bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Place the cornmeal in a shallow bowl. Dip each pepper half in the egg whites, then in the cornmeal, turning and pressing gently to help it adhere. Place the halves cheese-side up on the baking sheet.
- Bake until the peppers are just tender and the cornmeal is a light golden brown and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve immediately.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Do you have cash waiting for you in Florida's unclaimed property vault?
A lot of Floridians do. Right now, the vault contains about $1 billion, that's $1 billion, of unclaimed property.
Some of the items in the vault were displayed at the state Capitol on Thursday, including some magnificent Bulgari ruby and diamond necklaces.
Also on display was 100 troy ounces of silver.
The unclaimed property was displayed because Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill designed to makes it easier to submit claims. The legislation creates a system that lets you send a claim electronically to the Division of Financial Services.
The idea is to help reuniteowners withtheir unclaimed property faster and with less hassle.
"We're going to be far more efficient now. People are going to find their property faster than they ever found it before and find it maybe for the first time because it was easier now," said Florida Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater.
The unclaimed property includes dormant bank accounts and items from old safety deposit boxes.
First For You: Search online for unclaimed property at FLTreasureHunt.org or call 1-88-VALUABLE.

Someone reminded me of this so I decided to post it. If you're one of the many few (haha) who are trying out the ISO I would like to point out this is a developer release. If you're not a developer by all means feel free to download and try it.. I'm not a RTFM type of guy, but I just want to save you the frustration up front of everything being done for you.. like Network Management.
For now I don't have a Network Manager included. Something that will detect your network interface bring it up and grab an IP.. you have to be the Network Manager.. Yes you.. go look in the mirror and say "I am the network manager". If all went well on boot and your network card was found to have a driver.. it should be loaded so now do this Mr. (or Mrs.) Network Manager in the command line:
ifconfig eth0 up
now press enter and do a:
you should see information now for eth0 (yay!). However there's no IP.. Sad.. let's get one by doing
udhcpc eth0
and now eth0 should be assigned whatever IP your network gave it. At this point you can do any number of things with wget.. and maybe install the one package that isn't already installed.. and that's really it for now, but hey it works (or should)! If you have any questions check out the IRC link. Thanks

I alluded to this post in the last post...
Things are progressing (I'm a broken record with this statment), I have changed some init and boot settings to reflect our true boot opions. So any any ISO releases before 44 (I think) will be more complex in these areas then they need to be. There's now a very short string (4) of currently used boot options when you press "TAB" on the boot menu.
The one to really pay attention to is ramdisk_size=. This defines the size of the ramdisk for the livecd/usb session. Some machines have quite a bit of ram so you can make your ram disk quite large and still have a decent amount left over for actual ram use and not disk use. I think 512M is a happy middle ground. If you're like me though and still have a few machines laying around with 512M or less you may want to bring that ram disk down to 256000 (or loosely 256M). So basically this option allows you to tweak the ramdisk size as a measn to get the best performance for a particular system running live.
Published on Sep 24, 2015
Maybe I need to update this more often.. maybe I don't. I don't know of to many people that are reading this or that might really even care about this little pet project, but it's here and it's moving forward.
Yesterday I was able to get a bootable ISO up and running, at least on VirtualBox and Qemu. The live init script and makelive script, are based off my previous work on Synergy when I repackaged most of Fedora 16 and ported over the Chakra installer. That was a long time ago. So there has been quite a few tweaks that have had to happen to get things going. I thought the inclusion of overlayfs into Kernel 3.18 was going to make my life easier as I could drop specialized kernel builds for aufs. If you don't know what I am talking about then I will try and make it simple, overlayfs, aufs also unionfs allow you to create a writable ram disk and merge or overlay that with something that is not writable, ie. a mounted squashfs image to make the system writable (at least to ram). It was once said overlay file systems had no place in the kernel, though soon after they did include one but the better aufs (in my opinion) was left out. Enter 3.18 and a more advanced system call overlayfs is included. It's a litte conveluted and been a bit tricky for me to figure out, but it seems I have gotten it to work, though I will most likey do some more tweaking.
At this point in time the LiveISO is still somewhat crippled, as CA-Certs are broken and various things are missing. However, every development package (every package for that matter) Unity has is included on the ISO. You can build rpms on it if you so wish and know how to set the ram size in the boot params (more on that in a later post). You can also bring up the network (tested on a VM with e1000 module).
This ISO, though not impressive marks the ground work for a working MUSL Based RPM Distribution that is using YUM. I don't think one such distribution exists and we might be the first. That's pretty neat to me.
Find the ISO (though very much unfinished) Here:

Just wanted to give a quick update unless you haven't been watching Unity-Linux on github we now have over 110 x86_64 packages that have been built. I have about 20-30 more to build before I can incorporate my plans for a package manager and see if the particular one I have in mind will work with rpm5, that might be a task in itself. I'm keeping mum about it until I know it will work, but unlike dnf the text based frontend won't depend on SystemD. When I get it working there will be a full story on it. I would also like to build eudev and maybe even dracut. A few days ago I finished off mkisofs so I am tempted to build an ISO, but my goal is to have a package manager, dracut, eudev and createrepo provided. In the mean time I am pulling in a ton of dependencies including X11 libs and protos. This is mildly frustrating, because there's a lot and it's tedious, but in the long run it's less I have to do when it comes time to build Xorg. My goal is to keep Unity-Linux proper under 300 packages. Crazy you may say, because everyone one will want to run xyz.. My goal for Unity-Linux is to have it be a stable, flexible and small base, not a desktop distribution, however it can and will provide the base for Synergy Linux, which will be your standard (as much as a desktop distribution based on musl and rpm5 can be) desktop based distribution. Right now there's a long way to go however, at some point I will need to go multi-lib when I start building for x86, then there's my distant future plans of an Arm port. So we are gettinthere just slowly a chip at a time.

Hello all who are interested. Work has progressed at a slow but some what fulfilling pace. I have been able to build and compile various base packages. Enough base packages have been built now that I can create a chrooted enviroment with these packages to build more packages. Building in a chroot allows me to build musl-libc based packages on machines that are running glibc, like my CentOS 7 build server.
At this point in the game my focus is now shifting to a bootable format. Which means init generation and decisions about what ramdisk system to use etc.. along with some kernel development. Initially I will be using syslinux (extlinux) as a boot manager and we will go from there and see where things take us.
Work is (almost) constantly being done in git. Very simple scripts have been added in seed to help build a chroot (or build) enviroment, they are no where close to being finished, but do make my life easier. Package spec files are coming along as well, dependancy and requires are being figured out and added. Documention (ie man pages) are not being included in any package at this point but will be added as sub packages in the near future. For right now only 64bit is our focus, but with the number of EeePCs I still have laying around you better believe we will have a 32bit version as well.
For me I have seen some major progress in the last week or so, I would like to have seen a lot more. To many of you, there most likely hasn't been much. If you want a sense of progress please check git from time to time, or just ask on the IRC channel. Thanks
Kind regards,

Like a lot of guys their age, brothers Clifford and Cliffton Putman regularly get on Facebook to stay in touch with friends, flirt with women and publish thoughts on life.
©Copyright 2013, The Oklahoman
Like a lot of guys their age, brothers Clifford and Cliffton Putman regularly get on Facebook to stay in touch with friends, flirt with women and publish thoughts on life.
"U like gangstas?" Clifford Putman, 26, wrote one woman in May who commented on his profile picture.
"Sorry got nuthin for gangs!" the woman responded. "nice body i might add!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Both brothers are convicted murderers, serving lengthy prison terms at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary in McAlester for a fatal shooting. There, and across the state's prison system, it is against the rules to access social media sites.
An investigation by The Oklahoman found dozens of male state inmates have used smuggled cellphones to access Facebook from behind bars. The inmates blatantly post online personal photos taken with cellphone cameras. Many strip to the waist to show off tattoos. Some flash gang signs.
Some have made hundreds of online "friends," mostly women. With their cellphones, inmates can access these friends' own Facebook pages. One of Cliffton Putman's recently added friends is a Miami, OK, strip club manager. Her Facebook page features dirty jokes and photos of the club's half-naked dancers on stripper poles.
Some inmates get caught — one when he sent a "friend" request to a corrections officer's Facebook page, prison records show.
"He also sent one to one of my family members," the officer wrote.
Other inmates are getting away with Facebook use, the newspaper's investigation found.
One inmate posted comments as recently as Saturday.
While seemingly innocuous, inmates on Facebook are the most visible examples of a growing problem that corrections officials have been powerless to stop.
How do they get access?
Cellphones are regularly being smuggled into the state's correctional facilities, allowing murderers, rapists, thieves and other criminals a direct and unmonitored connection to the outside world. Hundreds of contraband cellphones are seized each year.
Since Jan. 1, 2012, guards have caught inmates with cellphones or found evidence of illegal cellphone use more than 3,000 times, records show.
Two hundred of those inmates were murderers, the records show.
Inmates have used contraband cellphones to access pornography, operate drug rings, make threats and contact relatives and friends, prison and court records show.
Last year, a thief was suspected of using a cellphone to extort money from another inmate's mother, the records show.
One inmate was suspected of using a cellphone in 2006 to order a "hit" on his own brother for being a snitch, court records show. The inmate was never charged in his brother's 2006 fatal shooting because of insufficient evidence.
One female inmate was caught in a prison shower making a cellphone video of another female inmate who was naked and speaking baby talk, the records show.
Often, a caught inmate would break the cellphone or flush it down a toilet, the records show.
Guards and inmates' relatives smuggle in many of the cellphones, officials say, but organized groups have become part of the growing problem. Sometimes, getting a cellphone inside a prison is as simple as throwing it over the fence.
