LANDOVER, Md. -- And so, as they say at the moment the ripcord is being pulled, "Look out beloooooooow."
You would like to think that the Eagles have hit bottom, but there is no reason to believe that is true. That is how bad things have gotten. They just got walloped by a bad Washington Redskins team, 31-6, and there still are six games left to play. There is no telling what depths they might still reach.
The Eagles are 3-7. They have lost six in a row. You have to go back to the mid-1990s, to the days of Rich Kotite before the fall, to recall such a stretch of uninterrupted ineptitude. Think about that for a second. On second thought, don't.
You forget what it feels like, the pointlessness of it all when two bad teams enter the arena and two bad teams leave the arena, the only difference being that one leaves with a meaningless victory and the other with a loss that validates every terrible thing you have thought about them. Because that is where the Eagles are. Sunday was epic validation.
They could not overcome a myriad of mistakes on offense, some the responsibility of rookie quarterback Nick Foles but many more that could be assigned to others. Foles threw two interceptions, one a bad throw and the other that clanged off of the hands of tight end Brent Celek, who is officially having an awful season. But the bigger problems came along the again-reconstituted offensive line, where every manner of drive-killing penalty was committed along the way.
I mean, who would have guessed that right guard Jake Scott, signed off the street only 6 days before starting the game, would have trouble with the snap count?
On defense, they made a couple of laughingly bad plays in pass coverage that led to two embarrassing touchdowns thrown by Redskins rookie Robert Griffin III. The first, a 49-yard touchdown to a wide open Adrick Robinson -- wide like the width of Tennessee -- came on a play where Eagles cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha was expecting safety help that never materialized. The second, a 61-yarder to the venerable Santana Moss, came on a play where safety Kurt Coleman was in position to intercept the pass but monumentally bollixed up the attempt. Then, for good measure, Brandon Boykin failed to make the tackle short of the end zone.
But the piece of the play that might speak most to how bad things have become is this: a flag was down on the play in the backfield, and Eagles defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins was mocking Griffin's touchdown celebration because he assumed the penalty was on the Redskins. Alas, it was illegal hands to the face on the Eagles instead.
With 1:45 remaining in the game, running back LeSean McCoy was tackled helmet-to-helmet on a running play and did not get up. He took off his helmet and sat up, but they brought a cart out onto the field to bring him to the locker room. It was an awful bit of punctuation.
Finally, people will ask if Andy Reid should be fired immediately. After a game such as this one, there is only one way to look at it. If Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie fires Reid now, it will only be because he likes him so much that he wants to put him out of his misery.

Capital Press
RED BLUFF, Calif. — With California mired in a crippling drought, the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation announced it expects to have no water available for farms without senior water rights either north or south of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta this year.
The announcement Feb. 21 followed a state snowpack survey that found the snow-water content in the Sierra Nevada range at 29 percent of average for this time of year. Other factors included critically dry hydrologic conditions, water quality requirements, relative priority of water rights and protection of endangered species, bureau officials explained.
As it stands, senior water rights holders along the Sacramento River will get 40 percent of their contract supply from the Central Valley Project, while municipal and industrial water users will get half their requested allocations and wildlife refuges will get 40 percent, the BOR stated in a news release.
Water service contractors on the east side of the San Joaquin Valley whose supply is delivered from New Melones Reservoir on the Stanislaus River will get 55 percent of their normal amount, according to the bureau.
"This low allocation is yet another indicator of the impacts the severe drought is having on California communities, agriculture, businesses, power and the environment," Reclamation Commissioner Michael L. Connor said in a statement.
"We will monitor the hydrology as the water year progresses and continue to look for opportunities to exercise operational flexibility in future allocations," he said.
For most farmers, the announcement was no surprise. Many water districts have been warning their customers there would likely be no agricultural allotment this year, as historically dry conditions have prompted Gov. Jerry Brown to declare a statewide emergency.
In the northern Sacramento Valley, nearly 90 percent of growers of tree nuts and plums for prunes have converted to drip irrigation and micro-sprinklers, said Allan Fulton, a University of California Cooperative Extension farm advisor here who specializes in irrigation.
Most of the farmers will rely on groundwater to get through the season, he said.
"The main thing that will happen is just improving their wells and making sure they're operable," Fulton said. "They're trying to manage through the drought with hopes of a wet year next year."
South of the Delta, however, the zero-water allocation will greatly affect Fresno County's $6.58 billion agriculture industry, the local Farm Bureau stated.
The allocation "will force farmers to idle a large amount of acreage which would have generated jobs, value added food products that stimulate significant economic activity for the county and region," CEO and executive director Ryan Jacobsen said in a statement.
Jacobson said the dry conditions have been made worse by a "regulatory drought," in which 815,000 acre-feet of water were sent to the ocean last year by federal fishery officials to preserve imperiled fish.
California Farm Bureau Federation president Paul Wenger complains the allocation is the result of a lack of planning for additional storage over the last 20 years by state and federal agencies.
"We are living the future that we have predicted for at least the last two decades," Wenger said in a statement. "Without the creation of additional water storage, California is unprepared for extended drought. Because of the increased demands from population growth and an inflexible commitment to the protection of endangered species and habitat, our water system has been drained of its flexibility to provide water in times of drought."
The bureau's announcement comes after the state Department of Water Resources said in late January that agricultural customers of the State Water Project will get no deliveries in 2014 if dry conditions persist. Sacramento Valley agricultural districts with long-standing water rights may only get 50 percent of their requested state water.
It was the first time in the project's 54-year history that no water was initially set aside for ag, according to the DWR. The last time the federal government announced an initial allocation of zero everywhere was in 2009, but rain and snow later in the season pushed the final allocation to 40 percent north of the Delta and 10 percent in the south.

Official: Child abuse stats hint NH rate is steadyBy NANCY WEST
New Hampshire Sunday News
March 09. 2013 9:21PM
In New Hampshire, 395 children were discharged from emergency departments and hospitals after being treated for severe child-abuse injuries from 2001 to 2009.
The children - from newborns through age 17 - were assaulted, poisoned, cut, bitten, strangled or burned, among other injuries, according to data compiled by JoAnne Miles, injury surveillance program coordinator at the state Department of Health and Human Services.
There were no statistically significant changes; the discharges essentially remained flat, said Miles, who compiled the data in response to a Sunday News request.
"In injury prevention, preventing an increase in rates is considered a small success," Miles said. "The goal is to promote a decrease."
Emergency department discharges accounted for 208 children, and 187 children were discharged after inpatient hospital care.
Fifty-nine percent of the discharges were boys. Forty-one percent of the cases included newborns to 4-year-olds.
The inpatient care cost $4.5 million, averaging $24,064 per child, and $165,000 in emergency room visits, or $792 per patient, with Medicaid paying 52 percent of the costs.
Sixty-two percent of the children spent two to seven days in the hospital, 12 percent spent eight to 14 in the hospital and 7 percent spent 15 or more days, the report said.
Miles used a coding process similar to the one Dr. John Leventhal and Julie Gaither, both of Yale University, used in a national study published in the journal Pediatrics last fall called "Using US Data to Estimate the Incidence of Serious Physical Abuse in Children."?Leventhal said the New Hampshire data mirrored their findings in the much larger national study.
Leventhal found a 5 percent increase nationally in the number of children who were hospitalized for serious child abuse injuries; an 11 percent increase for the most vulnerable, newborns to 1-year-olds, from 1997 to 2011. The National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System showed a 56 percent decline in physical child abuse during that period.
Leventhal said length of stay for hospitalizations did not change, but the incidence of children dying in the hospital because of their abusive injuries increased.
More prevention programs are needed, he said.
"Such programs will require substantial resources, effective strategies to help parents and other caregivers respond in nonviolent ways to the stresses and frustrations of caring for young children, and the targeting of large numbers of families," Leventhal said.
He pointed to the successful campaign in the 1990s - to have all infants sleep in the supine position - that led to a 50 percent reduction in the occurrence of sudden infant death syndrome in the United States.
"A similar national campaign will be required to address serious abusive injuries in children," Leventhal said. "Babies are getting hurt. That hasn't changed and I think that is important."

Fremont man claims innocence, says he won't 'sit in jail'
By JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
Fremont man returned to face NH charges
Man sought in Fremont incident arrested in Mass.
FREMONT - A Fremont man wanted by police after they say he fled from an officer who tried to stop him for speeding last Sunday hasn't surrendered because he said he wasn't driving.
"I was not in that vehicle. I wasn't even in the same state. I'm not going to turn myself in and sit in jail for something I didn't do," Andrew Decoito told the New Hampshire Union Leader in a phone interview Wednesday.
Decoito, 22, of 166 Main St., is facing warrants for his arrest on charges stemming from the brief police pursuit that ended when the vehicle pulled into Decoito's driveway and then continued a short distance into a wooded area.
The driver, who police said they believe was Decoito, then fled the vehicle and ran into the woods, prompting a search by state and local police.
The pursuit came three months after Decoito was arrested in connection with a shooting outside his residence.
Police said Decoito was armed with an AR-15 rifle when he fired 30 rounds at a car occupied by a driver and three passengers on the night of Jan. 5.
At the time, Decoito said he and his girlfriend were at his home sleeping around 3 a.m. when four people forced the door open, barged into his room and asked for a jacket they thought he had. He said they had been at a party earlier and that a jacket turned up missing.
Decoito said that he and his girlfriend were then assaulted and that he suffered a concussion and a fractured nose and cheekbone.
Decoito, who is accused of punching one of the men, said he then went to grab for his rifle to defend himself, at which time the others fled to the car.
"I didn't know if they were getting a gun," he said.
Decoito said he went outside as they got into the car to take off.
"They were still on my property, and I made sure they left, and that was it," he said.
Decoito said that he began firing as soon as the last person got into the vehicle. Police said the car was hit, but no one was injured. Decoito said he never intended to hurt anyone with his rifle.
"It's ridiculous. If I wanted them dead, they would have been dead right there. It was a warning," he said. "I didn't go knocking on somebody's door at 3 a.m. with four people."
Acting Police Chief Denny Wood said the other individuals involved in the incident were charged with burglary.
Decoito said he hasn't lived at his house since the shooting.
Meanwhile, Decoito said he is not a danger to the public. He said police are accusing him of fleeing Sunday's traffic stop because of a "personal vendetta."
He said he was babysitting at the time. When asked if he knows who was driving, he answered, "I have a good idea, but I'm not saying."
Wood said that as of Wednesday night, Decoito had not turned himself in.
Decoito is being charged with reckless operation, two counts of disobeying a police officer, resisting arrest, failure to yield at a stop sign, driving after revocation or suspension, breach of bail conditions, and speeding.
At one point during the interview with the Union Leader, Decoito said he would talk to Wood about surrendering, though he maintained he is innocent of the charges.

Business neighbors to Elm Street developer: Let's talkBy DOUG ALDEN
New Hampshire Union Leader
June 16. 2013 12:13AM
MANCHESTER - A developer's vision of a revamped block of Elm Street south of downtown is not shared by some neighboring businesses. Not yet, anyway.
So far, all they know for sure is Ronald Dupont asked the city to shut down an alley between Elm and Willow streets for a development project that's still a bit of a local mystery.
"We're all for growing the city and doing what's best for Manchester," said Marc Amiet, owner of Van Otis Chocolates. "But you cannot just railroad the little businesses. It needs to be fair."
Amiet was relieved to know the Board of Aldermen had tabled the proposal until owners of abutting properties receive more information about the development plans. So far, very little has been provided."They need to talk to us," Amiet said. "There is a clear process in place for these things, and it should be followed."Mayor Ted Gatsas said Dupont's plan is for a combination commercial/residential area to be built across from the new Market Basket in an area that's home to a handful of businesses, vacant buildings and lots overrun with weeds west of Valley Cemetery and a few blocks south of Verizon Wireless Arena."There's not too much revenue being generated at those buildings," Gatsas said. "I'm sure the developer wants to get in the ground and get started."Dupont, president of Red Oak Property Management and Oak Leaf LLC, did not respond to numerous messages left by the Sunday News last week at his office and on his cell phone.
Ongoing plan
He had a development plan in the works for the same area in 2008, when he wanted to bring a major commercial tenant to the old Goulet Supply Building, 379 Elm St., and rebuild the block around it with renters who wanted upscale apartments and additional development. It didn't happen.
The addition of the Market Basket last spring has brought some commercial traffic to the area, and Dupont filed papers with the city in January seeking to declare the streets private property. Kevin Sheppard, the Public Works Department, filed a letter with the Community Improvement Committee saying records indicated the alley is a private right of way and is not maintained by the department. "We're kind of eager to find out why the mayor and the public works director are trying to push this through," said Dick Hamel, owner of PHD Communications, 570 Willow St.Since 1910, Hamel's building has been directly behind what is now the Van Otis property, and both share the alley, known as Elm Street East Back.Amiet's property, at 341 Elm St., is just south of the buildings and vacant lots Dupont acquired years ago. The alley is not much of a thoroughfare, but has likely been in use since the development on south Elm early in the 20th century. Two old rail lines are still visible, poking up through the asphalt in a few spots leading toward the shipping docks for the chocolate company and Manchester Music Works, which is moving into the Van Otis building next month.
Revised plan
Members of the board of aldermen toured the area on Tuesday, when Dupont agreed to modify his request to only the northern section of the alley, leaving Van Otis and Manchester Music Mill's shipping zone free for the moment. But Dupont still wants the south end discontinued along with Summer Street, which is being used as a parking lot. "In order to start architectural plans, I need a footprint for the building," Dupont said at the site Tuesday.
Amiet and some of his neighbors aren't so sure about that logic. They feel Dupont, who has owned his properties since 2005, has the makings of a plan that he can share with others now.
"Nobody knows what he's trying to do there," said George Zioze, the longtime owner of the building north of Van Otis. "They should submit some kind of plan. What are they going to do with that? I'm concerned about the back alley. We've been using it for 40 years, and there was no question about anything."
Zioze has hired an attorney in case the stretch of alley behind his property is slated to be discontinued when Dupont's plans come before the aldermen again.
"That alley I will defend," Zioze said.
It may not come to that. Zioze and Amiet both said they would like to meet with Dupont, hear directly from him what he is planning and taking it from there. Right now, they aren't real clear on much, and the frustration level is growing.
"We're willing to talk to him, no question about it," Zioze said. "We should be able to come to some kind of agreement. I don't see why not."

August 16. 2013 8:36AM
BARRINGTON — Daryl J. Robertson, 39, the former Dover music teacher charged with possessing child pornography, died Sunday, according to his obituary.
No cause of death was given. Robertson formerly lived in Greenland and Eliot, Maine, but his obituary said he was a resident of Barrington.
The former St. Thomas Aquinas music teacher was arrested in January on child pornography charges, the result of a federal investigation into a foreign movie production company that sold DVDs and streaming videos of young boys engaged in sexually explicit acts.
The business sold its illegal movies and photos over the web, had a shipping facility in New York State, and maintained a customer database, according to investigators.
The customer information eventually led Greenland police and U.S. Postal Inspectors on Jan. 31 to Robertson's home, then in Greenland.
Robertson was charged by Greenland police with seven counts of possession of child sexual abuse images after a search warrant was executed at his home.
He was a music teacher from 2002 to 2008 at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Dover.
In 2009, Robertson was acquitted of misdemeanor charges alleging he groped the genitals of a former student while swimming out behind his house.
He was prosecuted at two separate trials in Strafford County. After the verdict, Robertson filed to have his record annulled and applied for a teaching position as recently as last summer in Massachusetts, according to prosecutors.
In his obituary, Robertson is described as a loving husband, son, and brother. He was born in Portsmouth, raised in Greenland and graduated from Portsmouth High School. He earned a bachelor's degree in agronomy form the University of New Hampshire and took graduate courses toward a master's in music education.
According to the obituary, he taught music in several communities, including Barrington, Laconia, Allenstown, Epsom an Dover, and was an excellent musician (percussionist) and had a wonderful tenor voice. He was active in several musical groups.
Raised in Greenland, Robertson graduated Portsmouth High School, and went on to teach music in several communities, including Barrington, Laconia, Dover, Allenstown, and Epsom.
He also had his own landscaping business, which was primarily a summer occupation.

(Relaxnews) – It looks like the cat café trend has made its way across the Atlantic, with San Francisco set to welcome what is thought to be the USA's first feline tea salon.
KitTea, described as "part gourmet tea house, part cat and human oasis," is set to open in the Californian city this spring. The café will allow customers to sample a range of exotic teas while interacting with cats from a local rescue shelter.
Co-founders Courtney Hatt and David Braginsky were inspired to launch the café after reading about the concept, which is a big hit in Japan, where crowded living spaces can make having pets impractical.
The trend has since spread to Europe, with cafés opening up in London, Paris and Vienna. The most recent country to get on board the trend was Australia, which could see its first cat café opening this year in Melbourne.
However, launching a cat café is not always a straightforward process. In February 2013 entrepreneur Melissa Asiamah unveiled plans to open the USA's first cat café in Boston but was reportedly met with resistance from public health authorities regarding the presence of animals on the premises of a food establishment.
Yet according to trendspotters at the gaming website Kotaku, Japan's animal lovers are already bored with cats and are turning their attention towards cafés featuring owls and rabbits.

A light has gone from my world and the Four Corners area too, but I believe, in another universe, a star is shining brightly and there is great rejoicing.
My dear friend, Pati Temple, has made her transition and her family and friends are filled with sadness.
Pati and I met in 1978: we were both newcomers to the Durango area. Pati and David had bought a ranch in Bondad and were beginning a new business: Animas Valley Arborist. Gordon and I were building a log house out on the East Animas and starting our new life. Pati and I met and became friends at the old Mercy Medical Center; she worked in Admissions and I in the billing office in those days.
There is no way to fully describe the wonderful human being that was Pati Temple. I guess you could concentrate on her love and devotion to animals. I would call her the Mother Teresa of the Animals. They were her children and she rescued and saved more creatures than I know about. When Pati and David moved to their ranch in the Cortez area, she became an advocate for the National Mustang Association and in particular with the Spring Creek Basin mustangs. This was one of her special areas of devotion but all creatures were her friends and she worked tirelessly on their behalf.
If I had a wish to preserve in some way the memory of Pati Temple it would be to ask you to care for all animals. Give those who are part of your life extra love and attention. If you can, donate your time or funds to the animal shelter in your area. Report any incident of animal cruelty or neglect to the proper authorities: Pati had no respect for those who did not respect animals.
Those of us who loved her will remember Pati and keep her memory bright. Rest now, dear friend.

On view through July 4th, 2011, our exhibition Human Nature features selections from the permanent collection of contemporary art. In the short video below, Franklin Sirmans talks about various themes of the show, including the use of language, the development of conceptualism, and a growing internationalism in contemporary art. He touches on neon work by Bruce Nauman and Glenn Ligon, body art from the late 1960s and 70s, and new directions in painting, including De Style, by one of my favorites, Kerry James Marshall.
There's also some great footage of Haegue Yang's Doubles and Couples, a large scale mixed media installation that uses components of domestic appliances, like a stove and a washing machine, and takes up most of the center of one of the largest galleries.

DENVER Legislators started moving Thursday on a $1 billion expansion of health care for the poor, a key part of President Barack Obamas 2010 health-care bill.
While much of the state is focused on gun-violence bills, Medicaid expansion arguably is the most expensive and consequential decision the Legislature will make this year.
Expanding Medicaid in the state of Colorado can save up to 600 lives every year, said Sen. Irene Aguilar, D-Denver, who is sponsoring Senate Bill 200.
Her bill would extend Medicaid to adults making up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level. Thats $15,282 for a single person or $31,322 for a family of four. Colorado already covers children up to that level, but not most adults.
Under the Affordable Care Act, championed by Obama, the federal government will pay for the expansion for three years, but by 2020, Colorado would have to pick up a tenth of the cost.
An existing tax on hospitals would be used to pay for Colorados share of the expansion if the bill passes.
The reliance on federal spending worried Republicans.
There is no free money. Thats my concern, said Sen. Ellen Roberts, R-Durango, during SB 200s first hearing in the Senate Health and Human Services Committee.
Colorado uses the hospital tax to draw even more matching funds from the federal government, but Roberts said the second-ranking Democrat in the U.S. Senate, Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois, has called that tactic a charade.
It sends a pretty strong message to me that as theyre discussing things in Washington about how to cut things, this is certainly high on the list, Roberts said.
The cost, mostly funded by the federal government, is expected to reach $1.2 billion by 2015.
But Aguilar said getting health coverage to more people will expand the economy, add jobs in the health-care business and reduce health-care costs in the long run by providing cheaper preventive care instead of expansive emergency care.
Her bill passed its first hearing 5-2 and now goes to the Senate Appropriations Committee.
Supporters turned to Tish Barber, a mother from Olathe, to make their case as the first witness for the bill.
Barbers three boys have Medicaid coverage, but neither she nor her husband is insured, and they havent been to the doctor for a physical since high school. It feels irresponsible to be uninsured, she said, but they cant afford a private insurance policy on her husbands salary at Big O Tires.
If we ever seriously got sick, I dont know how we would pay for it, Barber said.
Gov. John Hickenlooper announced before the Legislatures yearly session began that he wants to take up the federal government on its offer to pay for most of the expansion.
Despite the politics of Obamacare, Hickenlooper has been joined in his decision to embrace a bigger Medicaid program by high-profile Republican governors in New Jersey, Florida and Arizona.

NetNames has been given notice that Donuts plan to open the .singles new Top Level Domain registry on the 26th November 2013. The .singles gTLD will be supported by Demand Media Europe as the back-end provider. The .singles TLD will be an open registry and will offer the following registration periods:-
|Trademark Sunrise
|26th November 2013 to 24th January 2014
|Early Access Phase
|29th January 2014 to 4th February 2014
|General Availability
|5th February 2014 onwards
Donuts will be offering Sunrise registrations to all Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH) verified mark holders. Any valid duplicate applications made during the Sunrise period will be resolved by means of an auction after the close of the phase on the 24th January 2014. Sunrise orders can be placed via your NetNames Domain Management Portal or via your Account Manager. Should you still wish to place any trademarks with the TMCH, please contact your Account Manager.
Donuts will be offering an Early Access Phase (EAP), in lieu of a traditional Landrush application period for non-TMCH registrants. This short phase allows registrations on a first-come, first-serve basis of any strings not registered during the Sunrise phase. Contact your Account Manager for more details on how to apply during the EAP.
With an estimated 600 new commercial Top Level Domains opening for business in the next two years, and with up 20 strings being delegated every week, for most companies, blanket registration of all marks and key generic terms under all extensions is no longer a viable option from a budgetary point of view alone.
Identifying under which of the potential available extensions your business should register its primary name is difficult enough, but when you add other trademarked terms, generic terms, geographic extensions and industry related strings the task becomes hugely complex and costs rise dramatically.
NetNames has developed a tailored approach to assist companies in identifying the key terms which should be registered under which extensions and can provide estimated budgetary costs and timeline for expenditure.
NetNames are able to prepare a detailed analysis on behalf of each customer, using client specific information including trademark registrations in addition to details of each new gTLD due to be launched. These detailed reports will outline what registrations will support and defend your existing critical online assets as well as a timeline of when you need to take action.
If you would like NetNames to prepare your bespoke report, please contact your account manager or by calling us on:

Just five days after President Abraham Lincoln was shot at Ford�s Theatre in Washington, D.C., the Springfield City Council voted unanimously to spend $20,000 to help defray the cost of his funeral back in his hometown.
The original handwritten record of that vote and three others related to preparations for the 16th president�s funeral are documented in a bound volume stored safely in the city clerk�s vault. The clerk�s office on Thursday presented digital reproductions of the records to the 2015 Lincoln Funeral Coalition, which is planning a re-enactment next year to mark the 150th anniversary of the funeral.
�I thought it would only be fitting, with the 150th anniversary of the funeral coming up, that we reproduce these ordinances and give them to the Lincoln Funeral Coalition as a gift from the city clerk�s office,� Deputy Clerk Rianne Hawkins said at a news conference in the city council chamber.
In addition to the April 19, 1865, ordinance authorizing the expenditure of $20,000 � the equivalent of about $300,000 today � the council on April 24 approved resolutions offering 218 acres adjacent to Oak Ridge Cemetery for Lincoln�s burial, authorizing the mayor to appoint a committee to help �procure suitable quarters for the escort attending the remains of the late President Lincoln from Washington,� and authorizing the council to issue permits to �control the erection of booths for the sales of food during President Lincoln�s funeral.�
Not all of the measures were met with unanimous approval, Hawkins said, noting that four council members voted against the resolution offering land.
�They didn�t do minutes like we do now, unfortunately, so we don�t know, for example, why the four aldermen voted against donating the land,� she said.
Hawkins found the records shortly after joining the clerk�s office in 2011 by looking through council records from the time period around Lincoln�s assassination and funeral.
The Papers of Abraham Lincoln project at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum made digital copies of the records at no cost to the city.
Katie Spindell, chair of the funeral coalition, said the group is grateful for the donation.
�One of the things I�d like to see done is for us to display them at some of our events,� she said.
Digital copies also are being given to the Ford�s Theatre Society for its interactive website and exhibit commemorating the 150th anniversary of Lincoln�s death.
James Cornelius, curator of the Abraham Lincoln Collection at the presidential library and museum, said that donation will draw attention to Springfield.
�Having the Lincoln material from Springfield on view, known to everybody in Washington, is going to bring national attention to what you�ve saved here and what we�re trying to do for this city as part of this project,� said Cornelius, who also serves on the coalition�s board.
The coalition is planning at full-scale re-enactment of Lincoln�s funeral May 2-3, 2015, in Springfield. For more information, visit lincolnfuneraltrain.org.

Academics + Athletics = Innovative Research
Randy York's N-Sider
When Nebraska opens the biggest entrance to its $63.5 million East Stadium Expansion Project this fall, football fans will walk through space that goes well beyond 6,200 new seats and 38 new suites. That's because 50,000 square feet of this refashioned, modernized Memorial Stadium will be devoted to research, and that exploration of the unknown will feature the ultimate odd couple working hand-in-hand ‒ academics and athletics. University of Nebraska-Lincoln faculty, Nebraska Athletics staff and private sector partners will team on innovative health and performance research.
This partnership will mark the first on-campus, shared academic/athletic research facility in the history of intercollegiate athletics. Whether you call it an historic breakthrough or an opportunity of a lifetime, just understand that these two anchor tenants are the result of a unique collaboration that follows a simple but elegant and heretofore unused equation: Academics + Athletics = Innovative Research.
"That's perfect because that's what this will be ‒ true innovation coming from two sides that rarely work together ‒ academics and athletics," said Prem S. Paul, UNL vice chancellor for research and economic development. "All the stars are lined up for this unique partnership, and we're delighted to join forces with Nebraska Athletics. Our national reputation in athletics is opening doors for us in academics. I have absolutely no doubt that linking our prestigious academic and athletic programs will create opportunities we've never had before. Our college deans are excited, and our faculty is on board. We are prepared to work together with a man who left an incredible athletic legacy to his home state and now has the opportunity to leave an equally incredible academic legacy."
Paul is referring to Tom Osborne, now serving as Nebraska Athletic Director Emeritus. Nebraska's Hall-of-Fame football coach and three-term Congressman has been given "100 percent leadership and accountability to lead the athletic side of this relationship," said Shawn Eichorst, who succeeded Osborne as athletic director Jan. 3, 2013. "It was an easy decision to make. Coach Osborne's vision created this partnership. He has everyone's trust, and his leadership and guidance will get this joint research effort off the launching pad just like we all want. I wouldn't want it to happen any other way."
Building Private Partnerships
Osborne, 75, is eager to see completion of the athletic research area that will be connected to the academic research area. Communication, cooperation and collaboration will be paramount to seize the benefits from research that will feature, among other things, Bryan Heart Institute, which will measure conditioning training designed to improve athletic performance. Known for his pioneering leadership in bringing cutting-edge strength training and nutritional research into the daily lives of his student-athletes, Osborne envisions a more comprehensive approach that can range from psychological research to motion analysis of athletes lifting weights and everything in between.
Osborne also has developed a strong working relationship with Steve Kiene, managing principal at Nebraska Global, a high-tech company which has worked closely with Nebraska Athletics on weight and conditioning training, nutrition, online athlete assessments and biomedical research projects, including on-field, tablet-based concussion diagnostics. "We're strong believers in research and economic development," Kiene said, "and we're excited to move some of our best performers into the East Stadium."
Several performance-related thinkers influenced Osborne's vision, beginning with former Nebraska women's soccer assistant coach Wally Crittenden, who developed his UNL master's of education thesis on the benefits of a Nebraska Sports Institute that would elevate the Huskers' leadership positions in a variety of performance-related areas. Doak Ostergard, director of outreach for the athletic department, used Crittenden's creative idea to start asking "What if?" questions regarding possible tenants in the new East Stadium.
David Hansen, then-chair of UNL's psychology department, was contemplating moving some of his department's research into the Whittier Research Center, a former junior high building that UNL recently renovated to house interdisciplinary research initiatives. "What if you moved your group into the East Stadium instead?" Ostergard asked Hansen after a meeting on the potential for collaborative research between academics and athletics. The more Hansen thought about the mutual benefits of crossover research, the more he embraced the idea of moving his research team into the East Stadium.
Another cog in this partnership is Brandon Rigoni, a member of the Nebraska football strength and conditioning staff, who completed his master's degree at UNL and is now pursuing a doctorate in biopsychology with an emphasis in statistics. His research centers on athletic performance related to the human stress response system.
Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior
Osborne, UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman and Paul worked closely to make this first-ever joint research facility and unique partnership a reality. A key player in the research effort is Dennis Molfese, the Mildred Francis Thompson Professor of Psychology, who will direct UNL's new Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior, a.k.a. CB3. In 2010, UNL recruited Molfese to lead the university's brain research efforts. Internationally known for his expertise in using brain recording techniques to study the emerging relationships between brain development, language and cognitive processes, Molfese heads the Big Ten/Committee on Institutional Collaboration's Traumatic Brain Injury Research. Ivy League schools have joined the Nebraska-based effort to study head injuries in sports.
Approved in January by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents, CB3 is the linchpin of the East Stadium's combined research. More than three dozen UNL faculty from several colleges and other campuses are expected to collaborate on research through this broad-based interdisciplinary center, which will employ cutting-edge imaging technology to better understand the biological underpinnings of behavior and performance.
"With CB3, we're creating an interdisciplinary center for innovative health and performance research that links academics and athletics and ultimately will improve the health and welfare of our nation's citizens, including our student-athletes," Paul said.
No one has to tell Osborne the importance of such research. The game of football eagerly awaits research that could supply answers needed to decrease the frequency and the overall impact of football-related injuries. Osborne believes if solutions are not found to correct the alarming trend and severity of increased concussions, the game will be in jeopardy.
The Big Ten/Committee on Institutional Cooperation and Ivy League concussion research initiative is unique in its focus on short- and long-term involvement by athletes who agree to take part. Osborne said it's not out of the question that Molfese's team could measure concussions and determine with definitive research what types of helmets could improve the safety of players who wear them.
Envisioning a World-Class Center
With four decades of experience in brain studies and development, Molfese wants UNL to establish an international reputation as a pioneering, world-class interdisciplinary center that investigates the interface between social, biological, behavioral, engineering and neurological issues.
"Putting good people together leads to good things and the creation of two research spaces in Memorial Stadium will be a compelling catalyst for interaction," Chancellor Perlman said, adding that the opportunity for student-athletes to use the program will provide information that may be more broadly helpful to society than just performance.
Nebraska Global, which will have office space in the East Stadium, is helping Nebraska Athletics design a web-based information portal for parents of student-athletes – a one-of-a-kind technology tool that will help student-athletes in every phase of their academic/athletic life and also could become a game-changer for recruiting.
Nebraska's brain research efforts will stretch well beyond student-athletes and could help soldiers as well as citizens. Paul, Osborne and Eichorst envision the East Stadium facility having the potential to become a center of excellence at UNL, with significant impact on funding from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Department of Defense and the private sector. CB3 will be the nation's only facility to simultaneously record certain MRIs, eye-tracking and event-related potentials.
Nebraska in a 'League of Its Own'
"I don't know of any school in the country undertaking what we are," Osborne said. "In athletics, you're always trying to push the limits of human performance and endurance, and by merging our athletic mission with our academic mission, we can build better relationships, boost our recruiting and retain our top athletes."
More than four decades ago, UNL's chancellor asked Tom Osborne to make a choice between coaching football and teaching. If he accepted a job as a professor, he would be groomed to someday become the president of the university. Osborne, of course, chose football, but also made sure he integrated academics with athletics.
Today, in his farewell tour as perhaps Nebraska's most popular leader, Osborne is enabling a powerful crossover between academics and athletics – an idea that was buried deep in his heart when he returned to Nebraska to teach a leadership class in UNL's College of Business Administration. Nearly six years later, Osborne is nurturing an idea whose time has come, an idea in which he's invested heavily to see it through.
"Tom Osborne has been such a great leader for all of us – in athletics and academics," Paul said. "He listens to our faculty and has brought them on board with objectives and goals they all believe in. We've already learned so much from him collectively, and we're excited to continue working with him and Shawn Eichorst collaboratively. Like Tom, Shawn listens and learns and leads. They're both interested in the same thing – getting things done and getting them done right. It's going to be a great partnership."
After spending a considerable amount of time in the athletic department in the last year, Molfese gets pumped just thinking about the challenge facing him and his entire team. "We're all ready to go out and kick some serious neuro-butt," he said.

STOCKTON - The corner of Oak and American streets on the northeast fringe of downtown Stockton long has been one of the city's more dangerous intersections.
STOCKTON - The corner of Oak and American streets on the northeast fringe of downtown Stockton long has been one of the city's more dangerous intersections.
Last month, a man in his 20s was shot in the left leg at the intersection, and at 4:45 a.m. Sunday, a 34-year-old man was grazed by a bullet on his right forearm as he walked at Oak and American.
Less than six hours later, gunfire erupted again at the same street corner. This time, though, it was deadly. A 22-year-old man was killed by several bullets in a drive-by shooting at 10:15 a.m., Stockton police said.
Officer Joe Silva, a police spokesman, identified the victim as Eric Madison, the city's 68th homicide of the year. Silva also confirmed Sunday the death one day earlier of 19-year-old Victor Ibanez, wounded Wednesday in a drive-by shooting on East Anderson Street.
Silva said there are no suspects in either homicide, and he added that during the investigation of Sunday's killing, officers were met with hostility when they attempted to interview residents of a neighborhood police say is a hotbed of drug and gang activity.
"Not only were the people in that neighborhood not providing officers with information, they were also acting belligerently toward our officers by yelling obscenities," Silva said.
"We want to help citizens eliminate crime in their neighborhoods but when you have people acting belligerently, yelling obscenities at our officers, not providing officers information, it's making it that much more difficult for us."
The long-troubled neighborhood's problems ignited anew over the past week.
Tuesday, the corner of California and Lindsay streets - six blocks from Oak and American - was the scene of a lunch-hour gunbattle that left one person wounded and the street strewn with 22 shell casings. In the three-plus hours that followed Tuesday, there were four more reported shootings in Stockton, and police think some of them may have been related.
After Sunday's homicide, a group of neighborhood residents sat on the porch of an apartment on American Street. The porch, protected by wrought-iron bars, provided a clear view of the crime scene. The residents occasionally watched the police doing their investigation, but just as much of their attention was on a television they had moved to their living-room window so they could keep track of the San Francisco 49ers game.
A young woman who identified herself as Gloria Escalante said she's lived in the apartment a bit less than one month. She said she hears gunfire frequently.
"It's scary, it's dangerous, a lot of gunshots," Escalante said as she watched the police. "But nothing like this. This is my first time seeing a crime scene."

The enhanced spectral resolution of hyperspectral and control of bandwidths of multispectral data yield an advantage over color aerial photography particularly when coral health and time series analysis of coral reef community structure are of interest. Depending on the type of instrument, a spectral imaging system can be utilized to see multiple colors from ultraviolet through the far infrared range. The AURORA hyperspectral imaging system collected 72 ten nm bands in the visible and near infrared spectral range with a 3 meter pixel resolution. The data was processed to select band widths, which optimized feature detection in shallow and deep water. Photointerpreters can accurately and reliably delineate boundaries of features in the imagery as they appear on the computer monitor using a software interface such as the Habitat Digitizer.

A flightline containing hyperspectral imagery will have two separate image files representing a subset of 6 bands from the 72 original bands collected. File naming convention is as follows 'flightline number-date(s) acquired-hyperspectral or airphoto imagery'. Hyperspectral flightline files will end in either 272217 or 332211 representing the band number in the respective file. Band numbers equate to the following spectral wavelength in nanometers: 27-605.51991, 22- 556.918030, 17- 508.319000, 33- 663.835022, and 11- 450.001007. These approximate true-color band combinations were chosen to highlight shallow (272217) and deep (332211) water benthic features. Note that the resolution of the georeferenced imagery has been degraded significantly to reduce file size and facilitate internet viewing.

Libraries, archives, institutional custodians of record and other non-profit organizations that preserve memory serve as stewards for a large share of the world's cultural, historical, and scientific record. While performing many distinctive functions and often working within larger organizations, the professionals who dedicate themselves to preserving memory also share common purposes and challenges. In this document, we refer to them collectively as "memory institution professionals."
These professionals' individual objectives derive from the shared mission of their institutions. Preserving a treasury of primary resources consisting primarily of unpublished documents, ephemera, and other unique items, and providing access to it for research, scholarship, and the advancement of knowledge are core features of that mission. When these resources are both securely housed and widely available, an important social interest in facilitating researchers' and the broader public's understanding of the knowledge contained in these collections is fulfilled. Digital technology gives memory institutions an opportunity to safely store their collections in ways that also create opportunities to give ever-greater numbers of people the benefit of them. By this means, the institutional objectives of the organizations in which memory collections are located (from larger research libraries to small specialized archives) are also advanced.

Some collections held by memory institutions consist primarily of items old enough that copyright presents few practical challenges. Other collections may be sufficiently homogenous, and closely enough associated with a particular source, that it makes good sense to seek rights clearances before proceeding to digitize or make them accessible. A number of collections, however, lack such homogeneity, and include items from many sources. In particular, many collections include numerous "orphan" works, which are difficult or impossible to associate with active rightsholders who might give permission for their use. Some rightsholders may have been corporate entities that have ceased to exist. Other rightsholders may once have been locatable, but have become difficult or impossible to find today. Some likely did not create works with copyright in mind, and had no reason to remain available for inquiries.
This document considers the role that the doctrine of fair use may play in helping to resolve the copyright dilemmas that dealing with such collections can present. It addresses specifically how libraries, archives, museums, and other memory institutions can proceed with respect to collections that, based on professionals' expertise, clearly appear to contain significant numbers of orphan works.
This document responds to memory institution professionals' concerns about copyright liability in digitizing and providing digital access to collections that are believed to contain orphan works in significant numbers.
Memory institution professionals worry about orphan works because they fear the potential liability that a copyright infringement lawsuit could bring. The problem has become more significant as copyright has been extended over the last several decades while formalities of registration have been relaxed. Today, most works created in the last century are presumed copyrighted, and most copyright holders are difficult to find.
Memory institution professionals face special challenges when seeking to reuse orphan works. Archival collections, for example, often contain unpublished materials, such as historical and family photographs or notebooks, that have no markings of ownership, are not registered with the Copyright Office, and are not identified in any publicly-searchable database. The identifying information that is available can be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. This problem is compounded by the fact that, for many works commonly found in memory collections, such as scrapbooks and photographs, authors were neither motivated by nor even aware of the copyright protection that automatically attached to their creations. The likelihood of those authors maintaining contact with their works is small. Further complicating the situation are limitations on institutional resources that make comprehensive, item-by-item clearance requests prohibitive, even when theoretically feasible.
Memory institution professionals commonly manage collections containing materials that are, practically speaking, impossible to identify and seek copyright permission for, item by item. If they fail to address copyright clearance issues, they could compromise their institutions' public missions. Nevertheless, faithful representation of a collection in its entirety could be critical to fulfilling an institution's missions to preserve the past and to make research materials available, including online. Even in those situations where mission may be served by active selection and arrangement of materials, avoidance of copyright issues should not be the primary consideration influencing institutional choices about inclusion and presentation.
In the United States in the last decade, the orphan works problem has generated proposed legislation and several Copyright Office studies.

But none of those bills passed and there has been no further legislative relief or guidance.
Over the same period, individual archivists and professional organizations, such as the Society of American Archivists,

have documented ways to locate rightsholders of copyrighted materials, focusing on capturing a complete set of options for investigating the legal status of individual works. However, until now there have been no clear statements about what librarians and archivists consider professionally and practically appropriate practices regarding orphan works embedded in memory institution collections. Neither has there been any documentation of this community's views on how fair use applies to the management of such collections.
To address this need, the co-facilitators of this document undertook a multi-stage process to help the community discover and express its collective views on the issue of orphan works and how to address them.
In September 2012, the co-facilitators convened a workshop in Washington, D.C. to discuss the orphan works problem and how to address it. The workshop brought together more than 30 librarians, archivists, and other memory institution professionals from a wide range of organizations. Both large and small institutions participated, including academic and governmental libraries and archives, public libraries, private museums and archives, local historical societies, web archiving projects, and the Digital Public Library of America, along with representatives of organizations that support the work of those institutions, such as the Association of Research Libraries and the American Library Association. Participants came from a range of geographic locations throughout the United States.
The views of the workshop group were combined with the results of several in-depth follow-up interviews and documented in the Report on Orphan Works: Challenges for Libraries, Archives, and Other Memory Institutions. A primary need identified in the Report was to develop
[B]est practices to help guide and empower digitizing institutions that seek to make good faith efforts in using orphan works. This should include best practices for topics including identifying when a search is desirable, the form that a search should take in various circumstances, the role of ancillary considerations (including privacy) in designing any search, and approaches to seeking permissions for use when a search has indicated a possible copyright owner.
With that goal in mind, project members undertook a series of intensive deliberative group meetings, holding ten half-day sessions in nine U.S. cities. The discussion groups were primarily composed of special collections librarians and archivists. The groups included 72 memory institution professionals whose primary job was to acquire, maintain, and provide access to archival and special collection materials. An additional 20 served a similar role, but with a focus almost entirely on the digital environment. The groups also included 10 memory institution professionals who served in management roles where they encounter copyright and orphan works challenges, 10 who have special experience providing copyright assessment and advice for library and archives collections, and 17 who serve a variety of roles, often within smaller organizations. A large number of these participants—79 in total—worked with collections at university libraries, though the size, resources, and type of collections held by those institutions varied widely. Others included 9 participants from state and federal libraries and archives, 11 participants from museums, 19 participants from independent (typically small) historical societies, archives, and libraries, and 11 participants from public libraries.
While these discussions began with a focus on orphan works as such, deliberative groups quickly made clear that the nature of most digitization projects—especially those on a larger scale—meant that librarians and archivists had little practical way of addressing individual orphan works separately from the collections of which they are a part. As a result, the conversation in most deliberative group sessions soon shifted to how fair use supports the digitization of collections that are believed to contain orphan works.
Thus, while the resulting statement offers guidance to memory institution professionals in making decisions about orphan works, it also considers mass digitization projects more generally—just as did the participants in our meetings.
Overall, the deliberative group conversations revealed a deep understanding of how institutional mission, the nature of the collection, and the potential for harm to unidentified stakeholders all affect a fair use determination. The groups' consensus-based, middle-ground understanding of how the fair use doctrine applies is documented below in these best practices.
To ensure that the application of fair use reflected in this statement falls within the bounds of reason and precedent, an independent legal advisory panel of recognized copyright experts has reviewed this document. This should not, however, be construed as representing their legal advice. Rather, the document represents the voice of the community of memory institution professionals itself.
This statement of best practices represents the carefully derived community consensus view that emerged from more than a year of discussions. It articulates two broad best practices principles, and, accompanying the second, a range of related qualifications that describe practices supported by fair use that promote the mission of memory institution professionals who manage collections that are believed to contain orphan works. The principles should not be read without the associated qualifying language.
The best practices are stated in general terms so that any institution can take these best practices and apply them to its own circumstances, as a tool to help inform its own legal and risk analyses.
This statement does not describe the limits of fair use in memory institutions, but articulates how professionals understand the doctrine to apply in a limited number of recurrent situations that they face in digitizing collections that include orphan works. Institutions may be able to make persuasive arguments for fair use in circumstances that go beyond the shared norms expressed here, just as they may have good reasons for choosing policies that do not take full advantage of these consensus principles.
This statement was not negotiated with rightsholders that do not have as their mission to collect, preserve, and provide access to collections of material.
This statement lays out the reasoning by which memory institution professionals believe they can exercise their fair use rights; it does not present rules or bright-line tests. Rules and bright-line tests ignore the fact that, as is true of all rights that enable freedom of expression, the effective exercise of fair use requires both an understanding of the particular context and consistent reasoning from instance to instance.
Nor does this statement suggest that the exercise of fair use rights is an obligation of memory institutions. Relationships with donors, extraordinary privacy concerns related to some collections, and each institution's own tolerance for risk are just some of the factors that may lead some to decide not to exercise fair use rights in certain situations.
This statement is not a guide to using material that people give the public permission to use, such as works covered by Creative Commons licenses. While fair use applies to such works, anyone may use those works in ways their owners authorize, in addition to ways permitted by the fair use doctrine.
Similarly, it is not a guide to the use of works that are in the public domain; copyright does not limit the use of these works, including uses that otherwise would far exceed the bounds of fair use. Because many library and archives digitization projects may include early 20th-century works that are potentially in the public domain, we repeat a recommendation made in the Report on Orphan Works Challenges for the community to develop educational materials to help librarians and archivists make public domain status determinations.
The scope of this document: Although the principles and best practices articulated in this document might logically be extended to collections that contain copyrighted material more generally, this document, like the discussions that led up to it, is specifically intended to guide activities with collections that are believed to contain a significant number of orphan works. Orphan works have several distinct characteristics that can be relevant to the fair use analysis, as discussed below. Most importantly, they are, by definition, not active in the market and may not have been prepared for market purposes in the first place. This increases the social value of digitizing them while simultaneously limiting any resulting economic harm to rightsholders.
As an example, we've made mobile expense reporting even easier in Workday 30 by introducing optical character recognition (OCR) scanning of receipts, powered by machine learning. Using your mobile phone, you can take a picture of a receipt and the relevant information will be automatically entered into your expense report.
We've only begun to scratch the surface as to what intelligent automation can do.
Workday will also empower users to interact through a more conversational user interface and Workday bot that will allow you to collaborate around specific tasks and flows. We also realize that the easiest place to get something done is where you already are, which is why you'll be able to interact with the conversational language UI through other applications that integrate with Workday.
And chat capabilities in Worksheets enable better collaboration in Workday Planning , so users can comment, respond to questions, and see updates from other planning participants in real time, directly within the Worksheet.
The era of basing business decisions on gut feel is long gone. Finance teams need to be able to make quick, informed decisions based on data. Legacy systems, which require complex and separate business intelligence tools for analysis, don't provide that ability. That's why Workday was built with the power to transact and analyze in the same system, with reporting and analytics available throughout.
We've continued to add more ways for our customers to gain deeper insights. With the launch of Workday Prism Analytics , our customers can now combine Workday and non-Workday data for deeper operational insights. This lets customers correlate financial data in Workday with information from other systems, such as allowing a financial planning analyst at a retailer to dive into reports that combine financial data with point-of-sale information to see profitability by store, region, or other dimensions. This self-service data discovery allows regular users to drill deeply into data for the insights they need, without relying on data scientists.
I'm excited about where intelligent automation will take finance in the future. Yet we've only begun to scratch the surface as to what intelligent automation can do. We recognize the tremendous potential of these technologies to redefine finance and are committed to deploying them in a way that's true to our values .
As we reflect on this recognition, I know deeply that our success is fueled in partnership with our customers. Whether you're a long-standing customer like Hulu, or have recently joined our customer community, such as Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Denny's, or Oriental Bank, thank you for your ongoing support. We'll continue to make investments in our products, leveraging the latest technologies and adding capabilities that move you ahead. And we'll continue to do so in a way that's true to Workday and our vision of shared success with our customers.

Oh, do I have books for you, my friend. I do, I really, really do. If you collect history or biography dealing with the period of….
Well, wait a minute. I don't want an even bigger stampede when we open the doors, do I? I won't tell you we got in a massive collection of books dealing with one of the most popularly collected people of modern history. You'll have to come and find these for yourself. But I WILL tell you how to recognize them when they get here.
These books belonged to a fanatic collector of this subject. One can deduce this not just from the sheer number of books that came in, but by the large number which were given him by his friends and relatives. It's good to be a known collector: everybody knows what to get you for your birthday.
He was proud of his collection, and rightly so. Frequently he would write his own name in good, dark ink which soaked through the page onto the next one, even though the person who gave him the book had often already done so. (And frequently on the diagonal. He always signed his name straight, so you can see the contrast.)
As his collection became more famous, he designed a special bookplate for the books in his collection, bearing a portrait of the subject surrounded by ornamental work of the period. He was not shy: he made his bookplate roughly 4 inches by 6 inches, and had to fold it a bit to make it fit into the smaller books.
His library was a place of serious study of his chosen subject. So he removed the gaudy dust jackets. But he did not throw them away: in their own way, they represented original writing about the subject, with color pictures larger than those in the text. So he cut them apart and, throwing away the blank bits, glued them securely to the front endpapers. (If the front endpapers included maps or illustrations, he would check the back endpapers. If, as if usual, the back was simply a duplicate of the front, he noted this fact, also in good, dark ink, next to what he had pasted over the front endpapers.)
Time passed, as it has a nasty habit of doing, and he realized one day that he could not go on forever adding to his collection. He willed the whole thing to a college library, which was very happy to see such a fine collection come in, which might well have gratified the late collector. They then proceeded to add black squares to the spine of each so a white call number could be burned onto it. They stamped the name of the college here and there. I do not know exactly what happened next, but they transferred the collection to another college library. Perhaps they were refocusing their collection, perhaps they needed the space for computer monitors…perhaps both.
The second library was happy with the collection, but already HAD a big collection on the subject, so many of the books were duplicates. This is how they came to me, with an intermediate stop to see if the Newberry, which also collects in the area, already had them.
So it's a wonderful collection, covering over two hundred years' worth of writing on this subjects (the earliest book I've turned up so far is from 1804). You will recognize them by the dark inscriptions which soaked through the page, the dust jacket scraps glued to the endpapers (he experimented for a while with rubber cement: these are the books with the loose bits of jacket and the dark brown streaks on the pages to which they once were stuck), that monster of a bookplate, the rubber stamps of the library, the burned of white call numbers on the black….
I was going to add a few words about the care of one's book collection, but I see I'm out of space for today. Maybe some other time.
