j , ,—, _ ■ - I Moos follows his brother's trail — Page 6 Suit settled out of court — F Amherst News-Time 3t H ] Wednesday, August 6, 1997 Amherst, Ohio Swales may help end one street's flooding woes; others examined by KATHLEEN KOSHAR News-Times editor Hydrosphere Engineering, a firm which was hired by the city to undertake a water management project, is making waves. The Cleveland company has already made progress in the city's quest to get its flooding problems under control. Mike Menoes, the project engineer, made a presentation to city council last month and outlined the five different projects his crews are working on. They include flooding problems in the Forest Hill Drive area where residents were surveyed about their water problems. The company also met with residents during a meeting and investigated soil in the area. Results of the flooding data gathered include the following: • Many houses on the east side of Forest Hill Drive are experiencing rear yard flooding due primarily lo a lack of storm water runoff control from the Ravenglass Subdivision. Menoes said the subdivision is higher in elevation than the existing homes; rainwater flows downhill flooding the backyards of residents there. - Several houses on Forest Hill Drive, near the Idlewood intersection, are experiencing sanitary sewer backup into the basement. This problem is being caused by storm water infiltration into the sanitary sewer, although die exact location has not been determined. • Some houses on Shupc Street arc experiencing flooding problems. It has been reported that the creek behind the houses frequently floods. These problems, Menoes said, can be corrected. His recommendations are twofold: • A swale should be installed along the rear and some side property lines along Keswick Court and West Kendall Court on existing city-owned storm sewer easements. The swales will be ouUettcd into ex isting yard drains that run along the rear property lines. • Smoke test sanitary sewer line on Forest Hill Drive to determine any cross connections; cross connections must be disconnected. Also, the sanitary sewer along the stream behind the houses on Sunset Drive should be examined for infiltration problems. Menoes said storm water lines that are connected to sanitary sewer lines put the flow under pressure, causing the sewage to backup into basements. The city will also have lo determine who is responsible for any improper cross connections; in some cases, it would be the city's responsibility to correct a problem but in others it could be the homeowner's responsibility. Hydrosphere is also working on a Beaver Creek watershed computer model. Workers have already started work on the project computing drainage basin limits. Other work that needs to be completed includes examination of soil types, land use within the watershed and stream lengths. The model will help determine the peak flows through Beaver Creek, give the city an ability to define flood plains along the creek and prevent problems in future developments, and help foster the creation of a county-wide storm water control plan, among others. Menoes explained the efforts of the company to organize the city's existing records. Right now, he said, sewer and water plans can be located at city hall, the city utility complex or in the city engineer's office. "This really needs to be organized and we have to index what the city docs have and get it into one location," he explained. At this point, Menoes said it is not even known what plans exist and a great deal of time and effort is lost looking for CONTINUED on page 2 Melissa Harmych and Libbie Ehmschwender help Mary Nichols and Russell Behm load food into a van taking supplies to a mountainous area near Hazard, Ky. They are among 13 people spending a week helping to clean and build school buildings They're on a mission to aid others by GLEN MILLER News-Times reporter Thirteen members of St. Peter's United Church of Christ are on a mission to help people in southeastern Kentucky who subsist oft their fa.th and belief in education. The seven teenagers and six adults departed Saturday for a poverty stricken area in a remote section of the Appalachian Mountains. "It's so remote that they warn you not to drive in the mountains at night because it's so steep in some places," said St. Peter's minister of education Mary Nichols. The 13 will join church groups from Greater Cleveland that will work on a private school. It reportedly is the only school within 10 to IS miles of Hazard, Ky., because no public schools are located in the mountainous area. The group will repair an existing school building and work on a new building J_eing buitj. by volunteers. ' " ■ ■■ ■ They also took a van filled with food for the residents there. "We've been told it's a whole different culture up there and that they don't have many resources," she added.,"It's hard to believe something like that in this day and age, but we'll learn more by being there." Officially, the effort is a workcamp to improve the school and get it ready for a new academic year. The facilities, which include an elementary and high school, are run by a woman who apparently has stepped in where the Slate of Kentucky has failed to tread. The Sl Peter's UCC group was enlisted by a Bcrca woman who has been traveling into the mountainous area for 27 years. "We don't know her or the people who we're going to help, but we feel it's our mission to help people who don't have the resources to help themselves," Nicholas said. The group will slay in dormitories built above a school campus. The dorms house children who cannot travel the mountain roads in winter. The volunteers will have to climb 70 steps to reach the dorms, just one indication of how mountainous the area is, ac cording to volunteer Russell Behm. The trip, which has been planned for several weeks, promises to be as much a learning experience for the St. Peter's volunteers as ii will be for the Kcniuckians receiving their help. "It will be a new experience for us because we'll be meeting people who live outside of normal society, maybe by their own choice," Behm added. "It's hard for us to understand when you look at a map a sec there's a town only 10 miles away, or below." The group will return to Amherst Aug. 10 with a new appreciation for what it means to live in poverty but still seek an education to better themselves, Nicholas said. Coaches bridge culture gap; help kids learn by NITA OFFINEER Nows-Times correspondent Amhcrsl look on an inter- n.itional flavor in mid-July when iwo individuals came to town lo teach some young soccer enthusiasts the thrills and skills of the sport.

Review by tonyPrice Value Quality One thing I just noticed was that the vacuum belts I rec'd from you did NOT match the product pictured in this email nor the original belt markings.

The belt is functional
Review by guestPrice Value Quality What can I say -- it's a vacuum cleaner belt, it's made specifically by the Hoover company for my vacuum. The belt is functional, and does what it's supposed to do. My old Hoover vacuum, however, I love it. I bought multiple belts to try and keep it for as long as I can. The new vacuums aren't as good, despite all the hype for bagless and wind-tunnel, etc. I have a new Kenmore, and it isn't as effecient, easy to use, and powerful as my old Hoover.

Review by guestPrice Value Quality fits well on my Hoover! In the beggining it seemed small in comparison to the older belt I had in the vaccum, but that older belt was already sooo loose that the comparison was no longer valid.

Product was great
Review by guestPrice Value Quality "Product was great but I thought I was going to get 2 orders as I purchased it during your dual offer? The belt was a bit tight going on and it seemed a bit narrower then the old one.
Thank you for your prompt service! One of these days I will order a new beater bar for my unit as well.
God Bless and have a happy New Year!

Problem with my XFX motherboard
Alright, so I've run into the infamous FF code problem with my XFX 780i SLI motherboard. I've tried everything I know to try to fix this but nothing works. It happened after I installed a different CPU and cooler. I started it up, it almost booted to Windows then I lost video and it just shut down. I started it back up it got to the POST screen, lost video, shut down. Now it has no video, no beep, no HDD light indicator, reset button doesn't work, only FF code showing on the board. No, I didn't install the CPU with power hooked into it.
Things I've tried:
- Running bare minimum in the case (1 RAM stick, CPU, HDD, VGA)
- Took all components out of the case and set it up on cardboard box with 1 RAM stick, CPU, VGA, nothing else. Still the same result.
- Tried clearing the CMOS numerous times, left it unplugged without battery overnight. Nothing.
- Tried the old CPU still no workey.
- Tried pressing on the BIOS chip as seen in EVGA videos(tried all methods from their videos)
I'm convinced this board is dead, the main thing I'm concerned about is if XFX will fix it because I cannot afford a new system and I know they don't do motherboards anymore. I need this computer running. Unfortunately XFX's Tech Support is sort of a joke. OK not really, but seriously, no tech support on the weekends?? People's computers don't mess up on the weekend? Anyways, if someone out there knows of any solutions then please PLEASE help me.
XFX 780i SLI
Old CPU: C2D E6550
New CPU: Xeon X3350
Ram: OCZ 2gb x 3
HDD: Samsung 250gb
Seagate 1tb
No optical drives
PSU: Raidmax 530w
That's all I can think of, anything else you need to know just ask. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Sorry, just saw this. Most of the XFX M/B's had a dual bios. move the jumper to use the "back up" and see if that works.
The path to universal understanding starts here: Say what you mean, and mean what you say.

Perianth Interior Design is a product of Hilary Unger passion for design. He has decorated the plain white kitchen interior of an apartment on the west side of a plain white house. The client wanted to build a kitchen that they have eat-in area, the main requirement is to make the kosher kitchen.
In the beginning the kitchen has been divided into 'dairy' and 'meat' sections. She took this space down to the studs and did full renovation and make everything custom for the clients, not wasting an inch of space.
The kitchen have two dishwashers, the full-size dishwasher is located to the right of the sink and is used for 'dairy' dishes. The second 'meat' dishwasher is a Fisher Paykel dishwasher drawer and is located just below the warming drawer to the right of the full-size dishwasher, close to the door. The space has also been loaded with two silverware areas, a huge sub-zero unit, warming drawer, and pantry that are all done with the Sabbath in mind.
Eat-in area was added and French doors between the dining room and kitchen were place in. Since everything has a cabinetry faced facade, the compounding of the extra equipment and drawers feel seem less and keeps things low-key. It shows like a comfortable place to set up and eat a meal, but with these ordinary additions and new take on the floor plan, it can keep all the specific requirements for this family. [Via]

Renting an Apartment
While it doesn't offer any investment potential, renting an apartment is the wisest financial choice for many people. Some may be saving for a down payment on a home, others may be unable to afford buying a home. For families or individuals who move often or for those not interested in the maintenance and repair of a home, renting can offer freedom to relocate and some relief from the costs of home ownership. No matter why an individual is renting, it's a great idea to know about the financial and legal aspects.
A lease is a binding contract that lays out the conditions and responsibilities of a rental agreement, both for the owner and the renter. It stipulates the monthly rental price, payment due date, the length of the lease and what happens if one of you breaks the lease. A lease generally also outlines whether the renter or landlord will pay the utilities, whether pets are allowed, and any other restrictions and requirements the landlord wants to include.
Read your lease agreement very carefully before you sign it. You will be held accountable for knowing everything included in the lease. Also, keep a copy of the lease for your records. It may come in handy if you have a question about what you are or are not allowed to do.
If the landlord is not convinced that you will be able to make your payments, he or she may require you to get a cosigner. This is someone who will share financial responsibility for the lease. If for some reason you are unable to make the payments, the cosigner will then be responsible for making the payments.
Breaking a Lease
You should avoid breaking a lease by moving out before the end of the agreed term if at all possible. Each lease agreement has its own penalties for breaking the termsâsome only require the payment of a penalty but others require the renter to continue paying rent until the apartment is re-rented. For this reason, it's critical to check your lease and make sure you can handle the financial ramifications before you break your lease.

Fannie Mae just released their new Deed for Lease, or D4L, program. Its a program that allows homeowners to sign a deed in lieu of foreclosure and then rent back their home from the lender. Throughout when they are "renting," they can stay in the home and restructure the debt to make it easier to afford. According to Fannie Mae VP Jay Ryan, the D4L program helps eliminate some of the uncertainty of foreclosure, keeps families and tenants in their homes during a transitional period and helps to stabilize neighborhoods and communities. Some areas, particularly areas like Detroit saw enormous amounts of foreclosures during the peak of the recession. I hope that this program will help you. Budget your money so that it is easy for you to access your own budget and it is more advisable that you must save money for your payment.

First of all if there is a question here
Learn to communicate clearly. Secondly
If all of you were first time renters, the landlord should have been up front with the requirements before you signed anything. Also, you should have been given copies of any agreement you signed, security deposits, cosigner agreements, lease etc.http://www.bayut.com

The feeling behind the Surry Arts Council's Tommy Jarrell Festival was demonstrated simply with the smiles and outstretched hands of dancers welcoming 8-year-old Kenyon Percell of Deep Gap to join in.
The council's festival was a three-day event which began on Thursday and concluded with the concert on Saturday night. The concert was hosted by Lew Bode and included bands Chester McMillian and Back-Step, Richard Bowman and the Slate Mountain Ramblers, Carson Peters Band and the Buckstankle Boys.
"We are carrying on the legacy Tommy left us and the distinct Round Peak style of old-time music," said Bode to the concert audience.
Richard Bowman, who frequented Jarrell's home and was mentored by the musician, told the crowd his teacher's guidance was what kept the tunes going. He recalled how Jarrell at times feared Bowman would never be able to learn the tune "Rockingham Cindy." Bowman also was impressed by the Youth Old-Time Talent Competition which took place before the concert.
"Sitting back there and watching all those kids learn to play," began Bowman. "It's something to see. Why, they can even use their pinkie fingers." Bowman encouraged all the parents of the young musicians to take them to play with one of the older players such as himself. He said they could learn so much more in person than from tapes.
A play titled "A Kindly Visitation" was the centerpiece of this year's festival. The play, written by James Leva, was performed by Riley Baugus, Ira Bernstein, Danny Knicely and Leva. Notes for the production stressed that Jarrell lived in relative anonymity until his 70s and championed Appalachian music, which existed before bluegrass or commercial country music. Along with being a world-class fiddler, Jarrell helped build his legendary status by welcoming visitors from near and far into his Franklin Road home to learn the music.
Although Jarrell died in 1985, the impression made on one of those visitors formed the basis for an award-winning musical.
Leva frankly admitted his play is not a reenactment band piece or a biography or documentary on Jarrell, but wanted to communicate that traditional musicians (such as Jarrell) take their role as carriers of music seriously and take pride in their own innovations and discoveries to the music as they make it their own.
The notes on the production praises Jarrell for sharing his understanding and appreciation for the codes of memory in music, story and everyday life. The production ended with the characters noting that criticism of old-time music "going round and round" is wrong because life's cycles go around the same way. It likens Jarrell's generation's musical contributions to "a kindly visitation" to all of us.
"A Kindly Visitation" was Leva's first work as a playwright. It premiered two years ago at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Va., as he and a cast of musicians told stories, played tunes and sang songs learned while visiting Jarrell. The production won the Flournoy Playwright Festival of New Works at Washington and Lee in 2011.
Officials announced the results of the youth competition before the concert. Haley May won first in fiddle in the youth talent competition, ages 5-12. Samuel Tsolis finished second, and Travis Watts was third. Madison Shepherd was first in this division in clawhammer banjo with Liam Purcell second and Bethany Bare in third. Carson Peters topped the field in guitar playing with Tsolis second and Abigail Martin finishing third. Dance competition in this division was won by Shepherd and Kenyon Percell finished second.
In the "other" category in the 5-12 years division was won by Peters, who finished first in mandolin, with Liam Purcell third for mandolin and Watts was second for bluegrass banjo.
Gabrielle Blakley was first in the age 13-18 division for fiddle and Jared Boyd captured first in clawhammer banjo. Boyd nabbed another first in guitar, while Will Whittaker was second in guitar and Brittany Plumley was third. Boyd took first in the vocal competition with Plumley finishing second. The Hopeful Band Aid Band was first in the "other" category of this age division.

Passion for art and decorating spawns antique shop
Janice Mabie MacVicar opened E.G.G., which stands for Eclectic Gorgeous Goods, last April. MacVicar said art is her passion. | Jackie Pilossoph~For Sun-Times Media
E.G.G. Eclectic Gorgeous Goods
378 Park Ave.
Hours: 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday

Updated: January 21, 2013 2:09PM
Winnetka resident Sally Schneiders tried to get her friend, Janice Mabie MacVicar to open up an antique shop for years.
"You should see Janice's house," said Schneiders, "Her eye is unbelievable, and her connections and the artists she knows is amazing. She just has a great depth of resources."
Last April, MacVicar finally took her friend's advice and opened E.G.G., which stands for Eclectic Gorgeous Goods, an antique shop in downtown Glencoe.
"Art is my passion," said MacVicar, who holds a B.A. in art history and English from the University of Michigan and a master's degree in business from Northwestern University. "I love giving a home personality and making it someone's home, and a lot of people don't know how to do that, especially with art. They think they have to spend a lot of money and they don't."
MacVicar had a career in marketing and advertising for 15 years before she became a stay-at-home mom. She always enjoyed shopping at antique markets and going to art auctions with her father.
"We never bought anything, but I would always go just to learn about art and see what they had," she said.
Three years before she opened E.G.G., MacVicar started a business accessorizing people's homes. She still does that for clients who shop at the store.
She said decorators frequently hire her, and while they may be great at picking out the right furniture, they don't know how to incorporate "the little stuff," by way of antiques and the accessories.
E.G.G. sells vintage goods for the home, 90 percent of which are antiques. The other 10 percent is new merchandise. The store carries paintings, table top accessories, furniture, jewelry, books, ceramics, glassware and other household goods.
"I love her taste," said customer Teresa Dupe, of Winnetka. "I like the style and the antique flavor and the way she displays it."
Dupe said her mother owns a shop in Portugal, and Janice's store reminds her a lot of that.
"I carry really unique things," said MacVicar, who lives in Winnetka with her husband and three children. "Whatever you get here, you're not going to see it in anyone else's house."
MacVicar said when she first opened the shop, she originally planned on having the store open every other week, but customers started getting annoyed and wanted her to be open every day, so she settled on Tuesday through Saturday.
"The time involved is so much more than I thought it would be, but this is a big business and it takes time to do it well," she said.
The store has such an eclectic feel to it, and you can find fun stuff that you won't find anywhere else," said customer, Lisa Flanagan, of Winnetka, who was shopping for vintage books,. "I come here to find really unique gifts that I won't find in other stores."
Items at E.G.G. range in price from $8 all the way up to $600, but the majority of things are under $100. The art ranges from $100-$300.
"I love the uniqueness, the ware and the beauty of the things I sell," said MacVicar. "I like to think about who used to have them and what their lives were like. It gives it character and meaning, and it's just so interesting."
"There's something very artsy and charming and sophisticated all at the same time," said Schneiders. ~.

The boys' version of the Cabbage Patch Kids, Transformers set the toy world on its ear in 1984. Anyone and everyone just had to have these "robots in disguise." They could transform into everyday objects, usually vehicles or weapons, and a cartoon series and, eventually, films followed, turning a whole new generation on to these toys.
1950-1980 - Seed 1
Yeah, we cheated. LEGO first came out of Denmark in 1949, but this heavyweight found its stride post-1950. What started as a simple building block toy has taken off to become a multi million dollar business. Today, kids can build giant Death Stars and Harry Potter castles with Lego kits. We still like the old-school pieces that inspired imagination and creation. Though we do like changing the hairpieces on today's figures. Genius.

As much as I love Transformers, and the ingenuity of a toy that can turn from a robot into an animal (I was a kid during Beast Wars) or a vehicle is usually pretty awesome, LEGOs are literally whatever you want them to be.

Carrie Underwood concert
In recapping the Carrie Underwood concert to a co-worker this morning, three words kept popping up in my mind.
Classy. Talented. Genuine.
Of all the concerts I've seen in Sioux City, Carrie Underwood gets the nod for best pure vocals. She belted out every note where she needed it. When the situation called for it, she also displayed an innocent tenderness like in "I Know You" which began the encore.
Before the event, I made a wish list as to what I wanted to see last night. Let's see how she did:
1) a cute kid on stage with her – nope. However, she did do a great job with the youngsters backstage. I believe every one of them was treated like a rock star by Carrie.
2) a Hunter / Carrie duet – YES Great moment in the concert
3) $3 beers (I can dream) – No, however very little lines all night. This was so NOT a beer drinking concert compared to Eric Church and Luke Bryan. The fact that the event was held on a Monday may have had some effect too.
4) 5 costume changes (one with a Muskies jersey) – I counted 5. No, Muskies jersey though.
5) 3 references to Sioux City and not one to Sioux Falls - I believe 2 or 3 Sioux City references and Sioux Falls was shut out.
6) Blown Away fans - a strong fan made an appearance in her 5th song…and of course, we had a twister in the end!
7) one unplugged (voice only) performance – She displayed her voice all throughout the night, but no unplugged..
Other observations:
• Hunter Hayes could be Gary Allan's son. He had the same kind of mannerisms and passion on stage!
• I liked the deejay before and after Hunter Hayes I thought it was a good way to keep the momentum going – very diverse playlist from Journey to Tone Loc to Maroon 5 to Alabama I can't remember the last time I heard Tone Loc – probably a mix tape in 6th grade?
• Saw A LOT of mother / daughter combos at the TEC Too bad Carrie didn't do "Mama's Song" It would have fit the demographics of the show and VERY timely on the day after Mother's Day
• Hunter Hayes is a star. At times, he got a bigger cheer than Carrie – especially during "Wanted" He should definitely come to back to Sioux City to headline.
• Man, that was some light show. Most lights ever at the TEC?
• This show was so much better than her last show in 2009 She seemed more confident, more seasoned and obviously had much more production and sizzle in this offering
Partly Personal #1 – I LOVE the fact the last few country shows have been so well attended and had completely different vibes. Country music has such a diverse spectrum of sound and personalities. The demographics on this show SO much different than Eric Church or Luke Bryan.
Partly Personal #2 – After my failed backstage opportunity 4 years ago (I thought it went well – my loving co-workers and friends said it was just nervous laughter by Carrie), I took the advice of Facebook nation and Candice Nash. I told her how I really appreciated the fact she really cuts music that are compelling and genuine to me and KSUX listeners. No nervous laughter. It just felt like I was talking to a friend in the frozen foods aisle at Hy Vee. She seemed like a friend. That's the glory of the country music format, right?

Operating system | Any (web-based application) |

Website | books.google.com |
Google Books (previously known as Google Book Search and Google Print) is a service from Google Inc. that searches the full text of books and magazines that Google has scanned, converted to text using optical character recognition, and stored in its digital database.[1] The service was formerly known as Google Print when it was introduced at the Frankfurt Book Fair in October 2004. Google's Library Project, also now known as Google Book Search, was announced in December 2004.
How it works
Results from Google Books show up in both Google Web Search and the dedicated Google Books site (books.google.com). Up to three results from the Google Books index may be displayed, if relevant, above other search results in Google Web Search.
A click on a result from Google Books opens an interface in which the user may view pages from the book, if out of copyright or if the copyright owner has given permission. Books in the public domain are available in "full view" and free for download. For in-print books where permission has been granted, the number of viewable pages is limited to a "preview" set by a variety of access restrictions and security measures, some based on user-tracking.[2] For books where permission for a "preview" has been refused, only permission for "snippets" (two to three lines of text) may be permitted, but the full text of the book is searchable on this limited basis. Where the owner of a book cannot be identified, a "snippet" view may be implemented. For other books that have neither a "full view" nor "preview", the text is not searchable at all, and Google Books provides no identification of content beyond the book title. For this reason, Google Books searches are an unreliable indicator of the prevalence of specific usages or terms, because many authoritative works fall into the unsearchable category.
Most scanned works are no longer in print or commercially available.[3] For those which are, the site provides links to the website of the publisher and booksellers.
Many of the books are scanned using the Elphel 323 camera[4][5] at a rate of 1,000 pages per hour.[6] The scanning process is subject to errors. For example, some pages are unreadable, or upside down, or in the wrong order. It happens that some pages of one book appear interleaved with those of another, or an entire book may be attributed to the wrong title altogether.[citation needed] Book information such as authors, publishers, dates and so on, may be incorrect or abbreviated incoherently.[citation needed] Very commonly, the list of chapter headings and/or the book index is only partially presented. Although at one time Google provided feedback links to report these problems, the mechanisms for readers to provide this feedback have become more and more curtailed as time goes on.[citation needed]

December 2004 Google signaled an extension to its Google Print initiative known as the Google Print Library Project.[7] Google announced partnerships with several high-profile university and public libraries, including the University of Michigan, Harvard (Harvard University Library), Stanford (Green Library), Oxford (Bodleian Library), and the New York Public Library. According to press releases and university librarians, Google plans to digitize and make available through its Google Books service approximately 15 million volumes within a decade. The announcement soon triggered controversy, as publisher and author associations challenged Google's plans to digitize, not just books in the public domain, but also titles still under copyright.
September–October 2005 Two lawsuits against Google charge that the company has not respected copyrights and has failed to properly compensate authors and publishers. One is a class action suit on behalf of authors (Authors Guild v. Google, Sept. 20 2005) and the other is a civil lawsuit brought by five large publishers and the Association of American Publishers. (McGraw Hill v. Google, Oct. 19 2005)[8][9][10][11][12][13]
November 2005: Google changed the name of this service from Google Print to Google Book Search.[14] Its program enabling publishers and authors to include their books in the service was renamed "Google Books Partner Program"[15] and the partnership with libraries became Google Books Library Project.
August 2006: The University of California System announced that it would join the Books digitization project. This includes a portion of the 34 million volumes within the approximately 100 libraries managed by the System.[16]
September 2006: The Complutense University of Madrid becomes the first Spanish-language library to join the Google Books Library Project.[17]
October 2006: The University of Wisconsin–Madison announced that it would join the Book Search digitization project along with the Wisconsin Historical Society Library. Combined, the libraries have 7.2 million holdings.[18]
November 2006: The University of Virginia joined the project. Its libraries contain more than five million volumes and more than 17 million manuscripts, rare books and archives.[19]
January 2007: The University of Texas at Austin announced that it would join the Book Search digitization project. At least one million volumes will be digitized from the University's 13 library locations.
March 2007: The Bavarian State Library announced a partnership with Google to scan more than a million public domain and out-of-print works in German as well as English, French, Italian, Latin, and Spanish.[20]
May 2007: A book digitizing project partnership was announced jointly by Google and the Cantonal and University Library of Lausanne.[21]
May 2007: The Boekentoren Library of Ghent University will participate with Google in digitizing and making digitized versions of 19th century books in the French and Dutch languages available online.[22]
June 2007: The Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) announced that its twelve member libraries would participate in scanning 10 million books over the course of the next six years.[23]
July 2007: Keio University became Google's first library partner in Japan with the announcement that they would digitize at least 120,000 public domain books.[24]
August 2007: Google announced that it would digitize up to 500,000 both copyrighted and public domain items from Cornell University Library. Google will also provide a digital copy of all works scanned to be incorporated into the university's own library system.[25]
September 2007: Google added a feature that allows users to share snippets of books that are in the public domain. The snippets may appear exactly as they do in the scan of the book or as plain text.[26]
September 2007: Google debuted a new feature called "My Library" which allows users to create personal customized libraries, selections of books that they can label, review, rate, or full-text search.[27]
December 2007: Columbia University was added as a partner in digitizing public domain works.[28]
May 2008: Microsoft tapered off and planned to end its scanning project which reached 750,000 books and 80 million journal articles.[29]
October 2008: A settlement was reached between the publishing industry and Google after two years of negotiation. Google agreed to compensate authors and publishers in exchange for the right to make millions of books available to the public.[8][30]
November 2008: Google reached the 7 million book mark for items scanned by Google and by their publishing partners. 1 million are in full preview mode and 1 million are fully viewable and downloadable public domain works. About five million are currently out of print.[3][31][32]
December 2008: Google announces the inclusion of magazines in Google Books. Titles include New York Magazine, Ebony, Popular Mechanics, and others.[33][34]
May 2009: At the annual BookExpo convention in New York, Google signaled its intent to introduce a program that would enable publishers to sell digital versions of their newest books direct to consumers through Google.[35]
In December 2009 a French court shut down the scanning of copyrighted books published in France saying it violated copyright laws. It was the first major legal loss for the scanning project.[36]
April 2010: Visual artists were not included in the previous lawsuit and settlement, and are the plaintiff groups in another law suit, and say they intend to bring more than just Google Books under scrutiny. "The new class action," reads the statement, "goes beyond Google's Library Project, and includes Google's other systematic and pervasive infringements of the rights of photographers, illustrators and other visual artists." [37]
May 2010 : It is reported that Google will launch a digital book store termed as Google Editions.[38] It will compete with Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple and other electronic book retailers with its very own e-book store. Unlike others, Google Editions will be completely online and will not require a specific device (such as kindle, Nook, iPad, etc.).
June 2010: Google passes 12 million books scanned.[39]
August 2010: It was announced that Google intends to scan all known existing 129,864,880 books by the end of the decade, accounting to over 4 billion digital pages and 2 trillion words in total.[39]
December 2010: Google eBooks (Google Editions) is launched in the US.[40]
March 2011: A federal judge rejects the settlement reached between the publishing industry and Google.[41]
March 2012 Google passes 20 million books scanned.[42]
April 2013 Google's database encompasses more than 30 million scanned books.[43]
Google Books Library Project participants[edit]
The number of participating institutions has grown since the inception of the Google Books Library Project;[7] The University of Mysore has been mentioned in many media reports as being a library partner.[44][45] They are not, however, listed as a partner by Google.[46]

The Google Books initiative has been hailed for its potential to offer unprecedented access to what may become the largest online body of human knowledge[47][48] and promoting the democratization of knowledge,[49] but it has also been criticized for potential copyright violations.[8][49]
As of April 2013, the number of scanned books was over 30 million, but the scanning process has slowed down.[42][43] Google estimated in 2010 that there were about 130 million unique books in the world,[39][50] and stated that it intended to scan all of them by the end of the decade.[39]
The Google Books database continues to grow. For users outside the United States, though, Google must be sure that the work in question is indeed out of copyright under local laws. According to a member of the Google Books Support Team, "Since whether a book is in the public domain can often be a tricky legal question, we err on the side of caution and display at most a few snippets until we have determined that the book has entered the public domain."[51] Users outside the United States can however access a large number of public domain books scanned by Google using copies stored on the Internet Archive.[52]
The publishing industry and writers' groups have criticized the project's inclusion of snippets of copyrighted works as infringement. In late 2005 the Authors Guild of America and Association of American Publishers separately sued Google, citing "massive copyright infringement." Google countered that its project represented a fair use and is the digital age equivalent of a card catalog with every word in the publication indexed.[8] Despite Google taking measures to provide full text of only works in public domain, and providing only a searchable summary online for books still under copyright protection, publishers maintain that Google has no right to copy full text of books with copyrights and save them, in large amounts, into its own database.[53]
Other lawsuits followed but in 2006 a German lawsuit was withdrawn.[54] In June 2006, Hervé de la Martinière,[55] a French publisher known as La Martinière and Éditions du Seuil,[56] announced its intention to sue Google France.[57] In 2009, the Paris Civil Court awarded €300,000 (approximately US$430,000) in damages and interest and ordered Google to pay €10,000 a day until it removes the publisher's books from its database.[56][58] The court wrote, "Google violated author copyright laws by fully reproducing and making accessible" books that Seuil owns without its permission[56] and that Google "committed acts of breach of copyright, which are of harm to the publishers".[55] Google said it will appeal.[56] Syndicat National de l'Edition, which joined the lawsuit, said Google has scanned about 100,000 French works under copyright.[56]
In December 2009, Chinese author Mian Mian filed a civil lawsuit for $8,900 against Google for scanning her novel, Acid Lovers. This is the first such lawsuit to be filed against Google in China.[59] Also, in November that year, the China Written Works Copyright Society (CWWCS) accused Google of scanning 18,000 books by 570 Chinese writers without authorization. Google agreed on Nov 20 to provide a list of Chinese books it had scanned, but the company refused to admit having "infringed" copyright laws.[60]
In March 2007, Thomas Rubin, associate general counsel for copyright, trademark, and trade secrets at Microsoft, accused Google of violating copyright law with their book search service. Rubin specifically criticized Google's policy of freely copying any work until notified by the copyright holder to stop.[61]
Siva Vaidhyanathan, associate professor of Media Studies and Law at the University of Virginia has argued[62] that the project poses a danger for the doctrine of fair use, because the fair use claims are arguably so excessive that it may cause judicial limitation of that right.[63] It can also be said that, because rights are almost always inherently limited in some way, judicial consideration per se, including limitation, of the principle poses no "threat" at all (and might produce benefit through articulated consideration and delineation - that would have not otherwise occurred - of the principle).[citation needed] Because Author's Guild v. Google did not go to court, the fair use dispute is left unresolved.
Google licensing of public domain works is also an area of concern due to using of digital watermarking techniques with the books. Some published works that are in the public domain, such as all works created by the U.S. Federal government, are still treated like other works under copyright, and therefore locked after 1922.[64]
Settlement agreement[edit]
The Authors Guild, the publishing industry and Google entered into a settlement agreement October 28, 2008, with Google agreeing to pay a total of $125 million to rights-holders of books they had scanned, to cover the plaintiffs' court costs, and to create a Book Rights Registry. The settlement was set to be approved by the court sometime after October 2009.[8] Reaction to the settlement was mixed, with Harvard Library, one of the original contributing libraries to Google Library, choosing to withdraw its partnership with Google if "more reasonable terms" could not be found.[65] As part of the $125 million settlement signed in October 2008, Google created a Google Book Settlement web site that went active on February 11, 2009. This site allowed authors and other rights holders of out-of-print (but copyright) books to submit a claim by June 5, 2010.[66] In return they were to receive $60 per full book, or $5 to $15 for partial works.[66] In return, Google was to be able to index the books and display snippets in search results, as well as up to 20% of each book in preview mode.[66] Google was also to be able to show ads on these pages and make available for sale digital versions of each book.[66] Authors and copyright holders were to receive 63 percent of all advertising and e-commerce revenues associated with their works.[66]
In the US, several organizations who took no part of the settlement, like the American Society of Journalists and Authors, criticized the settlement fundamentally.[67] Moreover, the New York book settlement is not restricted to US authors, but relevant to authors of the whole world. This led to objections even on the level of some European governments and critical voices in many European newspapers.[68] American author Ursula K. Le Guin has launched a petition against the settlement, which was signed by almost 300 authors.[69]
In October 2009, Google countered ongoing critics by stating that its scanning of books and putting them online would protect the world's cultural heritage; Google co-founder Sergey Brin stated, "The famous Library of Alexandria burned three times, in 48 BC, AD 273 and AD 640, as did the Library of Congress, where a fire in 1851 destroyed two-thirds of the collection. I hope such destruction never happens again, but history would suggest otherwise."[70] This characterization was rebuked by Pam Samuelson, UC Berkeley Professor of Law[71] saying "Libraries everywhere are terrified that Google will engage in price-gouging when setting prices for institutional subscriptions to GBS contents ... Brin forgot to mention another significant difference between GBS and traditional libraries: their policies on patron privacy. ... Google has been unwilling to make meaningful commitments to protect user privacy. Traditional libraries, by contrast, have been important guardians of patron privacy."[72] Others have denounced the settlement for neglecting to protect reader privacy.[73]
On March 22, 2011, U.S. Circuit Judge Denny Chin issued a ruling on the amended settlement agreement, rejecting it. From the ruling: [I]t is incongruous with the purpose of the copyright laws to place the onus on copyright owners to come forward to protect their rights when Google copied their works without first seeking their permission. [...] While the digitization of books and the creation of a universal digital library would benefit many, the ASA would simply go too far. It would permit this class action - - which was brought against defendant Google Inc. ("Google") to challenge its scanning of books and display of "snippets" for on-line searching - - to implement a forward-looking business arrangement that would grant Google significant rights to exploit entire books, without permission of the copyright owners. Indeed, the ASA would give Google a significant advantage over competitors, rewarding it for engaging in wholesale copying of copyrighted works without permission, while releasing claims well beyond those presented in the case. Accordingly, and for the reasons more fully discussed below, the motion for final approval of the ASA is denied." [74]
The Wall Street Journal commented on the practical impact of this ruling saying that: "Judge Chin's ruling changes little for Google users. About two million books that are in the public domain, such as works of William Shakespeare, currently can be viewed free on the Google Books site. [...] Google Books users currently can view long previews of another two million books that are in copyright and in print, thanks to agreements between Google and tens of thousands of publishers that were separate from the legal settlement. Millions more books that are in copyright but out of print are currently available in Google Books in a shorter 'snippet view.' Had the settlement been approved, users would have been able to see longer previews and potentially buy those books."[75]
Language issues[edit]
Some European politicians and intellectuals have criticized Google's effort on "language-imperialism" grounds. They argue that because the vast majority of books proposed to be scanned are in English, it will result in disproportionate representation of natural languages in the digital world. German, Russian, French, and Spanish, for instance, are popular languages in scholarship. The disproportionate online emphasis on English, however, could shape access to historical scholarship, and, ultimately, the growth and direction of future scholarship. Among these critics is Jean-Noël Jeanneney, the former president of the Bibliothèque nationale de France.[76]
Google Books versus Google Scholar[edit]
While Google Books has digitized large numbers of journal back issues, its scans do not include the metadata required for identifying specific articles in specific issues. This has led the makers of Google Scholar to start their own program to digitize and host older journal articles (in agreement with their publishers).[77]
Similar projects[edit]
- Internet Archive is a non-profit which digitizes over 1000 books a day, as well as mirrors books from Google Books and other sources. As of May 2011, it hosted over 2.8 million public domain books, greater than the approximate 1 million public domain books at Google Books.[78] Open Library, a sister project of Internet Archive, lends 80,000 scanned and purchased commercial ebooks to the visitors of 150 libraries.[79]
- HathiTrust maintains HathiTrust Digital Library since 13 October 2008,[80] which preserves and provides access to material scanned by Google, some of the Internet Archive books, and some scanned locally by partner institutions. As of May 2010, it includes about 6 million volumes, over 1 million of which are public domain (at least in the US).
- Microsoft funded the scanning of 300,000 books to create Live Search Books in late 2006. It ran until May 2008, when the project was abandoned[81] and the books were made freely available on the Internet Archive restriction.[82]
- Europeana links to roughly 10 million digital objects as of 2010, including video, photos, paintings, audio, maps, manuscripts, printed books, and newspapers from the past 2,000 years of European history from over 1,000 archives in the European Union.[83][84]
- Gallica from the French National Library links to about 800,000 digitized books, newspapers, manuscripts, maps and drawings, etc. Created in 1997, the digital library continues to expand at a rate of about 5000 new documents per month. Since the end of 2008, most of the new scanned documents are available in image and text formats. Most of these documents are written in French.

building on kid's intuitive sense of physics, this flat packed cardboard monster pops up and into a device for seeing around corners, over the tops of couches, around tree trunks, etc.
perfect for outdoor spying, essential for hiding games.
2 colored paper board pieces (with interior mirrors) pre-notched to fit together to create a tall and fun periscope.
packed in gift/storage box.
dimensions: when assembled, 22" tall x 2 1/2" x 2". gift box, 5"w x 12 1/2" x 3/4"d.
