Setting Up Home: Finding the Right Spot for the TV
When we think about designing good-looking living spaces, a TV really can be an elephant in the room. I for one spend more time in front of mine than I care to admit — and yet I don't want it to be the focus. At the same time, an awkward TV placement can throw a room off, visually and practically.
My fiancé and I are moving soon, and one thing he has been vocal about changing next time is our TV setup. Our current one is seen in Image 5, and part of the problem is that the left cabinet door has to remain open for the remote to work. At any rate, his request has me thinking about the different ways you can incorporate your TV — and store the Wiimotes, etc., that go with it — in a room.
The TV-over-the-cabinet is a popular choice, and you can make your telly look less out of place by hanging large (Images 1 and 5) or linear art (Image 6) behind it. My personal preference would keep any TV away from a mantle, but it looks nice and sleek in Image 4 because of the uniform black color. Similarly, in Image 8, the TV repeats the shape and color of the fireplace and the window casings. If your TV is surrounded by shelves, the decoration and storage will make the screen less of a focal point (Images 3, 4, and 9). Or, if you prefer a more minimal look and don't have lots of devices or doodads to store, you can try something like Maxime's Parsons table approach (Image 2) or a hidden home theater (Image 7).

NAMM 2012: Boss TU-10 Clip-On Tuners
See our comprehensive review of the the Boss TU-10 right HERE
The Boss TU-10 is an amazing clip-on tuner for guitars and basses and the first of its type available from the industry leaders in electronic tuning.
With its precise tuning accuracy, style, compact and durable design, the TU-10 is a must have item for any gig bag or guitar rig. It boasts an impressive colour LCD display which improves visibility in any lighting conditions. This is particularly helpful on dimly lit stages or when it is difficult to hear the guitar itself. It shows the current pitch on the meter display with a full note name readout and arrow indicators display flats or sharps.
The unit also boasts a visual monochromatic mode, which turns off the backlight and doubles the battery life. To help users tune even more quickly, the TU-10 houses BOSS' Accu-Pitch function, which displays a positive visual confirmation when the correct pitch is obtained.
One of the TU-10's unique features is that there is no joint between the meter and the clip. Unlike most of its competitors the TU-10 is one solid piece creating superior strength and reliability.
The TU-10 also supports flat tuning up to five semitones down which is very rarely featured on this clip-on style designs. This will be particularly useful to guitarists and bassists that play heavy rock and metal style music.
Available from April in five different colours: black, blue, silver, metallic red, metallic blue and metallic brown. To register your interest in this product with Dolphin Music please click HERE.

As anyone that has read other reviews of vibrators on this blog knows already, my body appreciates a pretty limited range of vibrators. This isn't something I'm proud of, it's just a fact. Whenever I'm given a vibrator to review, I feel a bit guilty anticipating a less than shining review, which is not necessarily the fault of the product. We're just not compatible (although sometimes the vibrators totally suck).
iGino One really surprised me. It's small, compact, precise, and resembles an iPod. Typically vibrators that meet that description don't work too well for me because they're not powerful enough or they're too hard to hold in place during sex. With the iGino One, not only did the sensation feel good both alone and during sex, but I had an orgasm! Every time! The specificity and intensity of the vibrator tip can still be a bit awkward to control, especially if you use lube during sex. That said, in my experience using it thus far, it gets easier with practice. There are no settings, just an on or off switch located on the side, so you're unlikely to accidentally turn it off or mess up your settings during use.
For people who find the vibrator too powerful and lament not having any options for intensity, iGino One includes a clover-shaped EVA foam add-on to ease the sensation. This also disperses the vibration to a slightly wide range if you're finding it too pointed.
The novelty of covertly carrying a vibrator in my purse is also not lost on me. When you often use a vibrator that could bludgeon someone to death, it's not exactly easy to bring it with you on vacation, booty calls, or random semi-public sexcapades. And it's not just that the iGino One is small, I've got other great, relatively small vibrators, like the Lelo Gigi. Part of what makes the iGino One design special is that if someone happens to see it in your purse, in your suitcase, on your night stand, etc. they'll probably just assume it's an iPod, smart phone, or digital camera.
I wouldn't want it to be the only vibrator that I own, but it has definitely earned a special position in my small circle of vibrators.
The iGino-one is an impressively innovative sex toy produced by an independent firm. On its face, there is nothing terribly remarkable about this vibrator. It is a small plastic vibrator with a rechargeable battery. However, upon getting familiar with it, I became more and more impressed.
First off, its form is very well thought out. Rather than be vaguely phallic shaped and therefore hard to explain if someone were to find it, it is a rectangular shape roughly the size of a deck of playing cards – or a smartphone. That shape is totally inconspicuous in a pocket or purse.
Also because it is flat it can theoretically be laid flat in-between the body of you and your lover. We have not been able to make that work because it is too hard to keep it in place since the vibrating head is fairly small. Just because we couldn't make that work doesn't mean it can't work.
The intensity that this little rectangle puts out is pretty astounding. It is akin to a smaller Hitachi. In fact, if the Hitachi were a superhero (and let's be honest, it kind of is), the iGino would be its portable sidekick. It also seems like it would be the one to make all the snarky comments.
The charger is usb and swivels out of the base of the iGino which is nice because it means you can charge it basically anywhere and you don't have to worry about remembering to bring the cable, though it does come with a cable if that's more your speed. According to the documentation that came with it, an 8 hour charge will power the IGino for "a full session" but that a full charge (good for 40 minutes of continual use) takes 12 hours. I doubt you will need to use it for 40 minutes continuously, though – it is very intense.
The charger also holds my one and only complaint with this product, and it is a small one. When you plug it in, a blue light glows from the base of the usb arm. That would be cool if it indicated to you that it was charging and went off when it was done charging, but it doesn't. It just glows. Forever.
Aside from that one nit-picky complaint, I love this vibrator. I love how powerful and portable it is and I love that it gets my wife off without fail.

VANCOUVER, BC – As Vancouver Whitecaps FC enter the final 10 matches of the season, a bit of surprising news from their Designated Player has given the side an extra boost.
Striker Kenny Miller's decision to retire from international soccer, which was announced Friday, means the 33-year-old can focus on Vancouver's push for a second consecutive playoff berth.
"It means that going into international games – and there's quite a few over the next couple of months – Kenny's going to be here," head coach Martin Rennie said following a training session at BC Place on Friday. "Not only that, but he's not going to be traveling back from international games, which I've always felt is a dilemma to play him or not when he does come back from international duty."
Scottish FA tribute video for Kenny MIller
With Scotland's remaining World Cup qualifying matches for Brazil 2014 essentially meaningless, and after scoring a cracking goal against England last week at Wembley Stadium, Miller said the moment was right to call time on his international career.
"With 10 games to go, I don't think it was ideal to go away and miss one, two games," Miller said following Friday's session. "We just felt that with the World Cup campaign all but over, it was maybe the right time to call it a day."
Miller's decision, which he hopes will prolong his professional playing career, could also extend his time in Vancouver.
The former Rangers and Celtic man signed a six-month extension with the 'Caps in late July which keeps him at the club until June 2014, but the player's decision to hang up the boots internationally could encourage his club to offer an even lengthier contract.
"I would think so," Rennie answered when asked if Miller's international retirement would encourage the team to pursue a long-term deal with the player. "It certainly wouldn't be a deterrent. The fact that he could be here more, training and involved all the time, I think that would help."
After struggling to find a rhythm in his first year in MLS after joining mid-season, Miller has been excellent as part of Vancouver's dynamic three pronged attack alongside striker Camilo and winger Russell Teibert, scoring seven goals from 15 appearances this season.
While he's dealt with criticism both in Scotland and in the early stages of his time in North America, Miller has made plenty eat humble pie along the way – which makes his final Scotland showing a nice way to go out by bagging one against the old enemy.
"It was great to get the goal," Miller said. "It put us 2-1 up at Wembley against England. It's the stuff that dreams are made of. Unfortunately we couldn't hold on for a positive result, but obviously afterward you reflect on it since then and kind of think – it's not a bad way to finish off."

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) The first completed pass of Eric Mathews' career proved the game-winner Saturday night as Memphis slid by Rice 14-10 in Conference USA action.
The win was the first for rookie coach Justin Fuente.
Mathews' strike - an 11-yarder to Alan Cross - put the Tigers (1-4, 1-0) ahead for the first time in the game. Mathews, a transfer from Blinn College in Texas, alternated with Jacob Karam under center, and was 1-of-2 passing in the game.
Mathews' score was preceded by a 5-yard touchdown pass from Karam to Kelwone Malone.
Rice (1-5, 0-3) led 10-0 at halftime. Phillip Gaines recovered a fumble on Memphis' first offensive play and returned it 12 yards for an Owl touchdown. Then Chris Boswell's 36-yard field goal extended the lead.
Playing through heavy rain for much of the game, neither team had more than 245 yards total offense, with Memphis amassing just 81 passing yards.

I'm just starting to get into c++ development and am experimenting with different IDEs. I was curious about what everyone's favorite IDE is and why that made that decision.
I've tried:
Visual C++ 2012 express
Eclipse CDT
So far, my favorite has to be Eclipse CDT. That may be because I come from a background of Java and the environment is familiar to me. I didn't really like Visual C++ because I'm not a fan of the way it highlights your code. Although it's a ton faster than Eclipse, I still feel more comfortable in Eclipse. Perhaps I just need more time in Visual C++.
So anyways, what is your IDE of choice and what preference changes do you think are the most important for efficient development?

Negotiated Divorce
We are seasoned divorce professionals who have heard time and again, "I could have done my divorce myself and saved thousands of dollars if I had just had a little help." We are providing the education couples need to make decisions about their future and create a workable divorce solution for themselves. We are different from other on-line divorce services because we educate clients about the issues and give them all the tools they need to make their divorce process easy, efficient and equitable.
Divorcing couples who are reasonably amicable will be able to use our service. We know there are 30-somethings who are tech savvy and feel comfortable doing things themselves. They could afford lawyers, but don't want to spend their money that way. We want their business, as well as the business of lower-end clients who really don't need or can't afford lawyers. Their marital estates and child-related issues are not too complicated, but neither are they "bicycle and backpack" divorces. We want to capture the clients who don't need high-dollar lawyers and don't want lawyers to make matters worse.
We need the logo to have the name in it. We also want it to reflect our mission, vision and values, which are attached. We want the logo to reflect the idea that people are moving on, even if they are moving in different directions. We have considered this tag line:
Coming together to separate
but we would also consider other tag lines that designers might come up with.
Our URL, http://www.negotiateddivorce.net, can be incorporated, but it does not have to be part of the logo.
Please avoid the "broken heart" theme. We prefer something that conveys that the individuals are moving forward, even if in different directions.

A "suggested" 5.00 donation per person to help fund a social event in spring.
Now that finals are almost upon us, we are all scrambling to outline. LELS has been building an outline bank for the last year and a half and has acquired mostly certificate program outlines. Some of these are somewhat outdated. We would like to compile recent outlines for all required classes and all certificate program classes. Any outlines for elective classes are also welcome.
This would help all of us when we need additional clarification in classes and would especially help 1Ls who may not have outlined classes in the past.
So submit whatever you can and please include name of the professor who taught the class as well as the year taken.
One of our objectives this year is to build a lending library of study aids for LELS members. This will save us all money and also clean out overstuffed bookshelves for some of us. Many of us may want to buy the study aid anyway but this way we have a chance to look them over before we spend money on a non-returnable item.
If you have any you would like to donate, e-mail email@example.com and we will arrange to pick them up from you. As we begin accumulating them a list will be added to the website using the same username and password as the outline bank.
Opening on 2006-07 LELS Board:
We still have an opening on the officers board for an Event Coordinator:
If you are interested in the Event Coordinator position, please send an e-mail to email@example.com. Please include a brief statement of your interest in the position that can be added to the LELS Web site.

A four-year letterwinner and two-time team captain for the Juniata men's volleyball team, Cole was twice named an All-American (2004, 2005). He also served as a student assistant with the Juniata women's volleyball team. Following his collegiate playing days, Cole played professionally overseas, most notably for Moerser SC of the German Bundesliga.
He graduated in 2006 with a bachelor of arts degree in literature and writing.

Believe it or not, celebrities try just as hard as we do to look good, even when they don't look like they're trying (that thrown-together look actually takes time!). But we found 10 simple style tricks celeb moms use to keep the frumpiness at bay. Hint: It's all about accessorizing.
Give Heels the Boot
Moms need boots made for walking, and no one pulls off a hotter boot than Kourtney Kardashian. Her ubiquitous orange Chanel boots would give any boring outfit a lift with its over-the-top bright color, but notice the heel is low enough that it's wearable for toting around her cutest accessory of all: her son Mason. Style tip: Even us shorter moms can wear over-the-knee boots, as long as they're not over-powering. This one happens to work very well on Kourtney, who is only 5'2". Look for soft leather, suede or even rubber Wellingtons, and consider flats over heels.

Oversized Sunglasses
Famous working moms of multiple kids like Angelina Jolie, Nicole Richie, Reese Witherspoon and Alyson Hannigan shield their tired eyes with a pair of larger-than-life sunglasses. Who's got time to put on a full face of makeup when you're chasing a rambunctious toddler around town? Even the most aggressive paparazzi shot doesn't have a chance of penetrating these oversized designer shades. Try a pair of aviators for an upgrade to rock-star status.

Easy Up 'Dos
Washing and blow-drying your hair every day is a rare luxury with the kiddos demanding all of your available time. Mom of four Heidi Klum makes easy up 'dos, like sleek ponytails and artfully messy buns, look super chic. You'd never know the last time she washed those beautiful blonde locks (and with four kids under her belt, we wouldn't want to).

Fashionable Hats
Not only do hats cover unkempt, in-need-of-a-color-touch-up hair, they're every bit as fashionable as they are functional. We love everything from the fedora and knit beret to the newsboy cap and all-American cowboy hat—whatever works with your style. And, c'mon, couldn't we all use a little wardrobe inspiration from the petite queen of maaaj style statements, mom Rachel Zoe?
Splash News
Flowy Scarves
Not that Halle Berry needs any help, but her bright orange silk scarf somehow makes even her clunky crutches look cool. See how that scarf effortlessly punches up an otherwise plain T-shirt and slouchy jeans look? It's an all-seasons accessory, too, which makes us love it even more. And with dozens of different ways to wear it, this accessory gives you plenty of bang for your hard-earned buck.
Splash News
The Mom Bag
Bigger is always better when it comes to your mom (or diaper) bag. But no one said it had to be ugly! Get an oversized hobo bag like Kate Hudson's hippie-chic suede number (with fringe, bonus!) and stuff all your mommy essentials in it. You can go from day to night without having to transfer (read: lose) all your necessary items. Plus, who's going to even notice what you're wearing with a statement bag this chic?
Splash News
Sweater Wraps
This is not your mom's sweater wrap. Pair it with a tank top and jeans for a walk at the park, or wear it over a maxi dress for a casual night out in the spring. It even goes with wide-leg trousers and a white button-down for work. Choose one that's long or to the waist, belted or no belt; whatever works with your body type. We love them in neutral colors (like gray, shown on Sarah Jessica Parker here) that can be worn again, and again, and again…
Splash News
Layering Necklaces
Victoria's Secret supermodel and mom Alessandra Ambrosia is sporting a few of our favorite mom trends here: Oversized sunglasses? Check. Flowy silk scarf? Check. Sleek mom bag and maxi skirt? Check, check. But we're in love with her double-layered tassel necklaces. Did you even notice she's sporting a 6-month baby bump underneath all those great accoutrements? Neither did we.
Splash News
Minimal Makeup
Let's face it, few people can pull off Michelle Williams' perfectly fresh-faced look—but we can emulate her less-is-more approach to makeup. A light foundation or a tinted moisturizer plus mascara can go a long way. Add a little eyeliner and bright red or coral lipstick to give your look extra zing.
Another great eye-popping trick: If you've had one of those sleepless nights, try a stroke of white eye shadow underneath your bottom lashes, sweeping into the corner of your eyes—it'll bring years back to your face without that caked-on eye shadow look.
Splash News
The Jacket
From cropped leather bomber jackets to fitted asymmetrical blazers, we love the jacket as a casual wardrobe accessory. Paired with an over-sized T-shirt or fitted tank, and leggings or wide-leg jeans, celeb moms like Gwen Stefani, Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Richie have donned this stylish accessory in all its useful and fashionable forms.

I think you are absolutely right, especially about the heat delta. Per Dr Brown's excellent response, that focused on the issue, the components generate heat which must be removed, I still say a hot room, cold room approach will be effective, and also point out disks can tolerate a hotter ambient temperature than the other components. So a savings can be made keeping memory/cpu/etc at lower ambient than disk storage. of course if you only have one or two raid units and no other disks, then there is no need to house them separately. // George -- George Georgalis, systems architect, administrator Linux BSD IXOYE http://galis.org/george/ cell:646-331-2027 mailto:george at galis.org _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf

2014 Mitsubishi Outlander & 2013 Outlander Sport Limited Edition: LA Auto Show
- Mitsubishi reveals two new Outlanders at the LA Auto Show.
- All-new 2014 Outlander promises good value and fuel economy.
- Outlander Sport Limited Edition offers enhanced style, power & efficiency.
The all-new 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 7-seater compact crossover didn't just make its North American debut at the 2012 LA Auto Show. The launch of third-generation Outlander is also a statement of intent.
Let's be frank: After canceling production of the Eclipse, Endeavour and Raider pickup, Mitsubishi no longer has many models to offer U.S. car buyers. So upon the axles of the new Outlander rests the hopes of Mitsubishi in North America. No pressure.
On paper things look rosy. Despite being a compact, those seven seats come as standard. The overall shape takes aerodynamics into account. Mitsubishi claims, rather modestly, that this will be among the most fuel-efficient vehicles in its class. A 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine makes 166 horsepower and the optional V6 is rated at 224 hp.
In the cabin, which is more upscale than its predecessor, resides the kind of standard safety features usually found in more expensive conveyances: forward collision mitigation, lane departure warning and adaptive cruise control.
The 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander goes on sale in June 2013, with pricing possibly being announced at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show. Official EPA fuel-consumption ratings should also be confirmed by then.
The new Outlander range will include a plug-in hybrid version with full-time all-wheel drive and a range of 500 miles, which works out to the equivalent of around 143 mpg.
While Mitsubishi has pared down its lineup in the U.S., that hasn't stopped the company from commemorating 30 years of selling its wares in America with a new special version of the 5-seater Outlander Sport.
Mitsubishi unveiled the 2013 Outlander Sport Limited Edition at the LA Auto Show. The Limited Edition model features dark chrome-finished alloy wheels, blacked-out side mirrors, wheel arch trim and roof rails. Throttle and brake pedals are also finished in aluminum, the parking brake handle has leather trim, the driver's seat gets 6-way power adjustability and there's available 2-tone Dove Grey/Black leather seating surfaces.
But the changes go beyond merely cosmetic. Fitted to the 2-liter 4-cylinder engine is a revised balancer shaft (exclusive to this 2013 Limited Edition) that, according to Mitsubishi, provides faster and smoother acceleration. The engine also employs continuously-variable valve lift to optimize its gasoline consumption and power output, producing 148 hp and 145 lb-ft of torque--and up to 31 mpg on the highway with front-wheel drive and continuously variable transmission (CVT).
The "Limited" in Limited Edition refers to a limited timeframe rather than a limited production number. They will be made only between February and June 2013, going on sale in March. Pricing starts at $23,495 and the Outlander Sport Limited Edition is available with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive.
What it means to you: Looking at the bigger picture, more choice is good. We're happy to see Mitsubishi update and expand its model lineup in the U.S. And a plug-in hybrid Outlander also seems intriguing.

Vikings Offensive Coordinator Showing Creativity
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - Minnesota's offense has a simple focus: Adrian Peterson. The Vikings aren't scheming to surprise opponents by throwing 50 passes per game.
That doesn't mean offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave doesn't have plenty to work on. Just because the Vikings have a straight-forward, no-frills style doesn't mean Musgrave hasn't had to dig deep in the playbook to find combinations, alignments and calls that work to keep the attack balanced and the defense guessing at least some of the time.
Coaches and players have credited Musgrave for his ingenuity, particularly over the last month as the Vikings won four straight games to force a rematch this Saturday with Green Bay in the playoffs. In Sunday's win over the Packers, Musgrave unveiled several wrinkles that allowed the Vikings to accumulate a season-high 444 yards.

Annual Meeting Coverage
Report from Technical Session
The Clash of Stakeholders on the Information Superhighway: Will Public Interest and Fair Use Survive?
Reported by Steve Hardin
Technical Session sponsored by Special Interest Groups/Information Generation and Publishing (PUB), History and Foundations of Information Science (HFIS) and Information Policy (IFP)
Allan A. Adler
Association of American Publishers
Adam M. Eisgrau
American Library Association
Jeff Rosedale
Columbia University Libraries
Moderator: Pascal V. Calarco, Yale University
Attorneys representing library and publisher interests teamed up with a librarian to present a lively discussion on copyright and fair use at the ASIS Annual Meeting in Washington. Leading off the discussion was Adam Eisgrau, legislative counsel for the American Library Association's Washington Office. He reminded the audience that the U.S. Constitution states the goal of copyright is "to promote the progress of science and useful arts." He said the current translation of that 18th-century language is the "promotion of the flow of information in a democracy." How do we now go about implementing the constitutional vision of copyright structure in the face of changing technology?
In September of 1995, the Working Group on Intellectual Property of the Clinton Administration's Information Infrastructure Task Force released its White Paper, the premise of which is that we need to protect content on the information superhighway. The next month, in direct response to the White Paper, various interested parties formed the Digital Future Coalition, whose members were concerned with what was missing from the White Paper. Eisgrau said they were seeking a copyright law update for a digital environment which balances the strong protection of intellectual property with access.
At the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) discussions in Geneva, treaties incorporating some White Paper ideas were considered. But we wound up with much more generalized, more balanced, treaties, he said. Now the treaties must be implemented. We have the opportunity to implement both the letter and the spirit of the treaties and determine what we need and want the law to be in the digital environment. The implementing legislation has been introduced in Congress, along with an alternative measure, the Ashcroft Bill, S.1146.
Eisgrau said the idea behind S.1146 is not to burden schools and other organizations with the legal liability that prevents them from being on-ramps to the information superhighway. We need to find access provisions to expand capabilities for educators and libraries. We also need to provide protection for those whom we want to protect.
Attorney Allan Adler, of the Association of American Publishers, spoke next. He pointed out that works are not originally created by corporations; they are created by individuals. So despite the attractive notion that copyright battles pit users against multinational monsters, it's not so. There are individuals on both sides. The Constitution doesn't define fair use. Those who want to use it want fair use to be a categorical right. But it is not, Adler said; it is a situational, case-by-case doctrine. When Congress codified fair use in the Copyright Act of 1976, it set forth specific criteria for the definition. The act states very specific limitations on the use of copyrighted material by libraries and educators. It maintains a balance. The debate is different now, Adler said, only because many of the parties in the dispute are being more difficult because they are unsure what the future holds for them.
It is not surprising, Adler said, that the user communities – including librarians and educators – want to have incredible abilities to reproduce and distribute information. The problem is those are precisely the business of publishers. Adler said he was happy Eisgrau said that the WIPO treaties were balanced. The problem with the Ashcroft Bill, S.1146, is that, in his opinion, it is not. It provides far too much protection to fair use. Adler said the United States has the highest standards in the world to protect the rights of creators of intellectual property. WIPO brings the standards of other nations up to the standards of the U.S. What is included in WIPO is neither radical nor new.
Legislation under consideration in Congress would prohibit trafficking in devices to circumvent technological measures to protect the rights of a copyright holder. It would not prohibit the act of circumvention in such cases, thereby not imposing liability on the user who circumvents the anti-copying measure to engage in fair use copying. This legislation, Adler says, represents a significant compromise by the copyright community because it also means the legislation would not impose liability for circumventing anti-copying technology even when the copying would not constitute fair use. The compromise, however, does not apply to the legislation's provisions dealing with technological measures intended to control access to a copyrighted work because fair use does not give anyone a right of access to a work. Adler concluded by telling his audience members that when they become the publishers of the future, they will think about copyright differently, especially when they don't have the legal department of the corporation to protect their rights as publishers.
Next, the audience heard from Jeff Rosedale, the acting director of access services for Columbia University Libraries. He began by discussing commonalities; after all, some of the debate about fair use goes beyond self-interest. The parties' interests are not identical, but we share certain core values on learning and understanding. All of us can think of intellectual property in more than dollars and cents. He said he prefers the term "shareholders" to "stakeholders."
Thanks to collaboration between partners, shareholders are learning together about each other and the conditions that new technologies are creating. For example, IBM has teamed up with Marist College and others to create electronic reserves systems. Many library system vendors are integrating an awareness of electronic reserves into their products, too. Bookstores have helped out in the permissions process at some sites. University presses have indicated a willingness to acknowledge fair use in the electronic reserves context. Rosedale noted that libraries want reasonable use of copyrighted material, not unlimited use as Adler had suggested. Even with all of the electronic reserves systems that incorporate some notion of fair use, most full-text resources in the digital library will still be provided through agreements with publishers.
Designers, he said, should plan for some restrictions of access to electronic reserves services that invoke fair use. Funders should consider establishing permissions budgets if they plan to establish electronic reserves systems that include commercial publications. In the electronic world, fair use may turn out to be more restrictive because of the ease of copying and distribution. There may be problems with economics if permissions fee structures become unwieldy, and faculty may not understand restrictions on their use of materials.
Rosedale views the Copyright Clearance Center's electronic reserves permissions service as a good foundation upon which to build when permissions are required. It is not perfect, but it represents an acknowledgment on the part of the rightsholders that some such mechanism is needed. In conclusion, Rosedale said it is his belief that if we use intellectual property to support the constitutional value of progress in science and the useful arts, all the shareholders will get valuable returns on their collective investments.
During the question period, one audience member said she was more concerned about the database bill, which, she said, seems to be the biggest threat. Eisgrau responded that the question is who can access information at various times and circumstances. Low-work database providers are seeking protection from people who will just copy large portions of their databases. Legislation has been introduced which may allow perpetual protection of databases. Adler said the legislation probably will not be passed in the 105th Congress. He added that unless people who make the investments (time, money, angst) are compensated, the user community will be deprived of the information anyway because it will not be created.
After the question period, each speaker gave a summation of his thoughts. Rosedale referred to the Conference on Fair Use (CONFU) and its failure thus far to develop a set of fair use guidelines for electronic reserves systems. He said he is pleased that the impasse has not created the paralysis he feared it would. He called on audience members to educate themselves and not leave their users in the lurch in this time of change and opportunity.
Adler acknowledged that none of these issues is easy. All the positions have well-armed constituencies ready to do battle. The WIPO legislation is not a reason to rewrite copyright law for the digital age, he said. If we do not implement the WIPO treaties, we will have no more protection around the world than we do today. Let's implement WIPO treaties, he said, and maybe we'll have some common ground from which to work.
Eisgrau concluded by saying that there is a danger that fair use is not adequately protected by the implementation legislation for the WIPO treaties. Opponents of a broader interpretation of fair use are calling some of the provisions of the Ashcroft Bill "extraneous issues" that should not be included in the legislation. That notion should be put to rest, he said. He called on everyone to urge the U.S. government to implement what happened at WIPO. If we are to have balance, we should have complete balance.

A mandatory time-out period was declared after a foolhardy foray into the topic of snow removal two weeks ago. Emotions were high as were the piles of snow. There was an avalanche of letters.
So with this weeks warming trend, we will explore some of those icy issues.
Im a downtown resident who is doing my best to shovel. However, the city pushed three feet of snow in the parking space next to my house, reducing my already limited parking. Am I expected to do a better job at snow removal than the city? Perplexed
The main issue here is the phrase snow removal.
Unless the city hires a front-end loader and a dump truck, there isnt much removal going on. Its more like relocation.
There are winters in which the city must hire heavy equipment and dump the snow on land across from Rivergate, where it becomes a massive, smelly, filthy glacier that lingers into June.
So civic snow removal is a lose-lose situation. Action Line suggests getting some black cloth or plastic and covering your snow mound during the day.
Call it a cheapskate solar snow oven, but nature will do a better job than city intervention.
If I slip on a path the city is supposed to maintain, can I then sue the city? The bridge across the Animas River between 15th and 17th streets was never touched by a shovel. I know that suing the city is like taking money out of my own pocket, but how else do we get the city to follow its own rules? Slick Rick
You certainly can sue the city, but the deck is stacked against you.
Action Line checked with a personal-injury attorney. The initial consultation was free, of course.
I dont know a lawyer in town who would take a slip-and-fall case against the city, he candidly said, citing rules, limitations, hearings and a lot of legal posturing required long before you can even show up in a courtroom.
Unless its a really, really bad situation, it wont be worth the time, hassle and money even if you have a decent case.
Forget the courts and take matters into your own hands, er, feet.
Just a short skate away from that Bridge of Icy Doom is a great shop called For The Birds, which sells Yaktrax, a nifty traction device you can slip over your shoes.
Yaktrax in your coat pocket provides freedom from government incompetence, bringing new meaning to the phrase, Dont Tread On Me.
And finally, thanks to Sleepless Shoveler, a reader who prefers to remain anonymous, who penned a blistering and hysterical municipal missive that included these observations:
I know we are supposed to love the snow, for the skiing, for the rivers, for any number of reasons in this region. But I hate the snow. Hate is a strong word, and my wife and I try to dissuade our kids from using it. So lets put it this way: I despise the snowplows.
I am disappointed in their callous approach to their duty. In the wee hours of the morning, when I hear them rumbling by our house, I wake up in a cold sweat because I havent yet gotten the chance to get out there and stake out my territory, guard it with my shovel.
Its when they callously drive by and shoot a berm of the worst kind of snow boulders over my sidewalk that I go volcanic.
Ive talked to the city. Thats just the way it is, I was told, by the caustically helpful lady who answered the snow-removal line when I called.
I have chatted with the head of the snowplow crews, who as much as said, Tough luck, buddy, though he said it nicely. I have sent letters to elected officials and the city manager. Pleading gets you nowhere in this town.
Email questions to email@example.com or mail them to Action Line, The Durango Herald, 1275 Main Ave., Durango, CO 81301. You can request anonymity if you remember there are 10 more shopping days until Snowdown.

Think Before You Toss
Not so fast! It's often amazing the treasures that could be hiding in, for instance, grandma's old box up in the attic, or the files you've kept from your or a loved one's career, or even current files you are accumulating related to your work, political involvement, or extracurricular activities. Or, maybe you're involved with or know of a club, organization, or business whose records could come to the library.
The Western History and Genealogy Department's Archives Collection is a treasure trove of original material (correspondence, photographs, scrapbooks, diaries, and more) related to Colorado and regional individuals, families, events, businesses, clubs, and organizations. These collections form a rich resource for historians, researchers, and the public at large.
So, before you head to the trash bin with those old boxes in the basement, consider contacting us first. What you think of as trash could be treasure for the right researcher!
