3 Summary Installing and institutionalizing document and publication repositories at universities creates the opportunity to offer and archive scholarly publications that were produced at the respective universities for a worldwide audience. This new service by the infrastructure institutions library and computing center helps disseminate the idea of electronic publishing as a new tool for academic work. DINI the Deutsche Initiative für Netzwerkinformation (German Initiative for Networked Information) supports this development to reach a higher level of scientific and scholarly communication nationwide and internationally. To reach this goal it is necessary to network document and publication repositories. A network of local publications would complement the dominant (commercial) publications through publishing houses. This network may therefore also function as a regulating body against the monopolistic tendencies in scholarly publishing. The German Science Council and the Conference of University Rectors in Germany call for the installation of document and publication repositories, and funding institutions such as the Ministry for Science and Technology (Bundesministerium für Forschung und Bildung) and the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) support (and fund) this. It is deemed important to develop this according to international standards and to use proven technology. Taking the DINI publication Electronic Publishing in Higher Education (March 2002), that was published as a first guideline, as a starting point, this publications aims at three targets: - give a detailed description of the requirements of a certified document and publication repository, - highlight directions of development in the areas of configuration of repositories and of information exchange through theses repositories, - offer a certificate visible to both users and operators to certify the adherence to defined standards and recommendations by this repository. By issuing this certificate, DINI for the first time introduces a quality control for document and publication repositories. A set of minimum requirements of a repository and its operator mandatory for modern scholarly communication is formulated. At the same time DINI makes recommendations highlighting foreseeable developments that might turn into future requirements. A working group within DINI audits the criteria for the DINI certificate against international standards and developments and updates them accordingly. The certificate is for this reason issued with a year-of-award stamp. 3
4 1 Aims Utilizing the world wide web (www), science has created a new tool for communication, that is increasingly used commercially. Despite intensive use of the www by academics in their everyday work, the options to improve scholarly communication through the www are by no means exploited to their full extent. Deficits in this regard are most prominent in the dissemination of high quality scholarly publications. Acceptance of electronic media has risen enormously, however, willingness to actively use the technology as a tool for publication (to publish electronically) is to a great extent limited to commercial publishers, especially in the STM areas. It is in these areas of science, that the quasi monopoly of the publishers has led to exorbitant prices, more and more often exceeding the abilities of libraries and universities to pay the demanded charges. Building local publication repositories may work as a regulating factor, and should the great majority of scholarly publications be published originally on non-commercial repositories, a communication network will have been created, that will at least make it more difficult to continue unjustified raises in prices for the sole purpose of profit maximization. Offering publications on local repositories allows for the improvement of publication services in science areas of less commercial interest. The publication of doctoral theses on the internet is a good example for this process. Major prerequisites for success were: - A nationwide development of metadata standards, - publication on local repositories through cooperation of libraries and computing centers - a workflow for the upload to the German National Library (Die Deutsche Bibliothek), who in turn assumed responsibility for long-term archiving of the theses. The German Science Council and the Conference of University Rectors in Germany call for the installation of document and publication repositories. The German Ministry for Science and Technology (Bundesministerium für Forschung und Bildung) and the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) support implementation of document and publication repositories at the German universities. National scientific institutions, such as the Max-Planck-Society, are preparing their extensive use. On an international level, organizations like SPARC are supporting this development. The MIT and other universities in the USA and the United Kingdom are offering open-source software to run institutional repositories. In the Netherlands, the DARE project is preparing introduction of services. Local publication systems are common in Germany. To bring them to greater success it is necessary to standardize further developments. DINI with its publication Electronic Publishing in Higher Education laid a foundation for a widespread introduction of general regulations and standards. DINI-Certificate Document and Publication Repository takes this a step further by clearly describing criteria, that will guarantee repositories to be set up and operated according to national standards and international developments. Repositories fulfilling these criteria may be awarded a certificate, testifying to their quality. The certified repositories will be links in a chain of content providers, who offer their metadata to specialized service providers in a standardized format and procedure in accordance with the OAI model. The service providers in turn may aggregate these metadata and among other possible functions serve as a connector to commercial content and service providers. If the worldwide movement to install and operate local (institutional) repositories could be based on the solid foundations of universities infrastructure institutions like libraries and computing centers and their respective international networks, a new basis may be created for a communication infrastructure in the sciences. Additionally, money invested in information infrastructure would be used much more efficiently without much extra effort. Certification of repositories to state their international compatibility within an arising communication network of the sciences for high-quality publications does not have to be 4
5 restricted to university repositories. It is desirable that commercial publishers integrate their services in a standardized scholarly communication. 2 Criteria The following criteria are split into two sections. In the first section minimum standards and requirements are specified, that must be met by the document and publication repositories or their operators to be awarded the certificate. As DINI plans a continuous adaptation of the certificate to retain its validity in an ever changing environment, the second section lists recommendations, that, from today s point of view, are likely to be future requirements for the certificate. 2.1 Policy The operator of the document or publication repository formulates a policy regarding content and operation of the repository and makes this policy publicly available. This policy must state rights and obligations of operators of a repository and of authors and/or editors. The policy must contain: Provision of standards for the publications in the repository with regard to content and functional and technical quality A guarantee to archive for defined time spans depending on content and functional and technical quality of the publication Procedures for the operation of the repository; definition of services that the operator of the document repository offers to authors and editors 2.2 Author Support Minimum standards Offer consultancy services and support via web pages and/or and/or telephone as well as person-to-person support Support of the entire publication process (including technical and legal areas) Recommendations Curriculum of courses on electronic publishing offered at least once per semester Specialized courses on structured writing for authors Utilization of (electronic) help-desk systems 2.3 Legal Aspects Minimum standards The operator of the repository must be permitted to publish the uploaded document onto the repository (right to store electronically, especially in databases, and make available to the public for individual retrieval, rendition on a monitor and print (online use) in part and/or as a whole) The operator of the repository must be permitted to forward the document to an archiving institution The operator of the repository must be permitted to alter the documents technically to secure long-term availability Exemption from liability must be formulated in a disclaimer Recommendation List rights and privileges in metadata 5
6 2.4 Authenticity and Data Integrity Minimum standards for repositories Documentation of the technical system (It is expected of the repository to be available on a 24/7 basis) Back-up system to secure repository, metadata and documents Technically controlled and verifiable acceptance of documents Recommendation for repositories SSL certification Minimum standards for documents Persistent identifier must be assigned A document with altered content must be treated as a new document (new persistent identifier) Archiving of authors uploaded files in their original format Recommendations for documents Application or procedure to account for the integrity of documents (e. g. a hash number) Advanced digital signature ( 2 Abs. 2 SigG ) Rendering of archiving file formats with reference to the export of documents into long-term archiving facilities or institutions (cf. 2.7 and 4.7) 2.5 Indexing Subject indexing Minimum standards Availability of a defined policy for indexing Verbal indexing with keywords or classificatory indexing Recommendations Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) according to usage in the German National Bibliography as the general classificatory indexing system for documents (v. DINI-OAI recommendations) At least one additional standardized system of verbal or classificatory indexing (general or subject specific, e. g. Schlagwortnormdatei, LoC, CCS, MSC, PACS etc.) Keywords in English Abstracts in German and English Export of Metadata Minimum standards Metadata are available for free Unqualified Dublin Core (ANSI/NISO Z ) Recommendations Qualified Dublin Core ONIX 3 Technical and/or archival metadata; print-on-demand data (e. g. METS 4 ) Export to long-term archiving institutions or repositories Export into bibliographical databases (e. g. bibliographical management system, networks, OPACs) 1 SigG Signaturgesetz German Signature Law
7 2.5.3 Interfaces Minimum standards User interface to the web repository OAI PMH Recommendations Expansion of the OAI protocol to allow for exchange of complex metadata schemata Web-service interface (e. g. SOAP 6 ) Z Logs and Statistics Minimum standards Every individual repository must (within legal boundaries) log statistical data on access to the repository and to individual publications Recommendation The log containing data on access to a publication should be added to the publication as dynamic metadata 2.7 Long-term Availability Minimum standards Persistent linking of metadata and documents (e. g. via a persistent identifier or storage of metadata and document in one single container) Definition within the policy (v. 2.1) of a minimum time span of availability of a document of no less than five years) Recommendation Securing long-term availability where necessary through cooperation with a archiving institution 3 Award and Evaluation The DINI office or an authorized working group is responsible for awarding the DINI Certificate Document and Publication Repository. The seal of the certificate carries the year when it is awarded. The certification document acknowledges that the certified repository meets the minimum standards of a DINI-certified Document and Publication Repository. A fee is charged for the issuing of the DINI certificate. Non-profit organizations DINI members Other Profit organizations DINI members Other Zertifizierter Dokumenten- und Publikationsserver
8 The operator of a document or publication repository applies at DINI for certification using a web form on the DINI website. This form contains the minimum standards as listed in the criteria (v. 2). The applicant fills out the form therewith stating to what extent the criteria for certification are met by the repository to be certified. Further information about the repository may be added in designated fields in the form (text, URL et al.). An authorized DINI working-group verifies the submitted data. Access to the repository must be permitted to this working group. The operator must be prepared to answer questions by the working group. A visit at the actual location of the repository will be the exception. Additional costs that emerge during the certification process must be paid by the operator of the repository. The operator of the repository will be informed about possible additional costs beforehand. The certification process should generally be completed within two months. There is no time limit on the certificate. As the certificate shows the year it was awarded, re-verification of criteria can be done at any time. The operator of a certified repository is entitled to call the certified repository DINIcertified document and publication repository and to show the DINI certificate s seal on a web page or in other applicable forms. Any misuse of the seal or certificate will be prosecuted according to applicable laws. 4 Explanations and Commentary A local document repository is to ensure storage, management, provision, archiving, search and retrieval of electronic resources of an institution. 4.1 Policy As an example for a repository policy see below the Policy for the Operation of the Document and Publication Repository of the: Humboldt University, Berlin. 1 Objectives and Criteria for Content of the Document and Publication Server of Humboldt University The Document and Publication Server offers the organisational and technical framework to all members of Humboldt University for publishing scientific documents digitally. In course of this joint services offered by the Computer and Media Services and the University Library scientific documents of high importance are being published on the internet under strict quality control. The digital documents are provided with persistent identifiers and addresses, and are indexed within national and international library catalogues, search engines, and other reference tools. The document and publication server provides protection against distortion by using digital signatures and digital time stamps. Furthermore, long-time preservation of digital publications is guaranteed. Operation and development of the document and publication server are integrated into national and international initiatives and projects like the»networked Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations«(NDLTD) or the»open Archives Initiative«(OAI). 2 The Collection Mandate of Humboldt University Library for Digital Documents The collection mandate of Humboldt University Library consists of collecting, cataloguing, and archiving all the scientific documents published by the members of Humboldt University. It refers to digitally born documents as well as digital versions of printed documents. Also included are significant historic documents from the University Library and other institutions that are digitised due to terms of content, conservatory aspects, or the requirements of place-independent use. 8
9 Intellectual property rights will be preserved. Publishing the document with the publication and document server does not prevent publication elsewhere, like scientific journals or other document repositories. According to the recommendations of the German Science Council (Wissenschaftsrat) all scientists of Humboldt University are asked to secure further rights of use when negotiating with publishers. Later, maybe after a certain qualifying period, they will be asked to also publish their documents with the Humboldt University Document Server. Observation of copyrights and rights of use for third parties are solely with the authors or the editors of the digital documents. 3 Digital Documents The term»digital document«as used here is defined as a document based on text and images, that is stored in digital form on a data medium, and that is distributed via computer networks. In the future this term will be extended toward multimedia documents that include audio and video sequences. A document to be published with the document and publication server should meet the following requirements: 1. It is to be distributed for the public. 2. It is not a dynamic document. With any changes in the document a new version will be stored. 3. It fulfils the technical parameters given by the Computer and Media Services and the University Library of Humboldt University. 4 Digital Documents to be published and distributed by the Document and Publication Server 1. The following categories of digital documents will be stored and distributed: Single publications and publication series of Humboldt University with scientific content, as the public lectures of Humboldt University or the publication series of the University Library, Single publications and publication series published by staff of Humboldt University, i.e. collections, conference papers, research reports, journals (e-journals), Documents that are mandatory to be published according to examination rules and regulations (theses and dissertations), Single publications and publication series of institutions and persons associated with Humboldt University, Documents of Humboldt University students like master theses and seminar papers, should those be recommended by a lecturer. 2. Distribution of these documents can be restricted to local or temporary use only. 5 Technical Characteristics of the Document and Publication Server 1. By providing and proving qualified digital signatures the digital documents receive a legally valid certificate of authenticity. The assignment of these qualified digital signature occur in full accordance with the German Digital Signature Law (Signaturgesetz - SigG). 2. The digital documents are provided with individual and persistent addresses. This enables direct access to the document. 3. Retrieving the digital documents is possible via library catalogues, queries of the bibliographical metadata, search terms within the structures of the digital documents, via alphabetical and indexing systems, and via dynamically produced lists and indexes. 4. For indexing, storage and archiving of the digital documents international standards like the guidelines of the Open Archives Initiative (OAI) are employed and developed. 5. When using SGML/XML an archiving time span of 50 years is guaranteed. Preserving other formats depends on the availability of these formats, their viewer software, and their conversion tools. 9
10 6 Organisational Regulations 1. The document and publication server of Humboldt University is a joint operation of the Computer and Media Services and the University Library. 2. The electronic publication is free of charge for Humboldt University staff and members of associated institutions. 3. Submitting the digital documents for distribution via the Humboldt University document server takes place in the University Library. 4. Additional services that are necessary for publication, like processing digital documents or conversion into other formats, are conducted by staff of the Computer and Media Services or the University Library. Services that need significant additional work will be charged according to the scale of charges of the Computer and Media Services and the University Library. 5. Contact for all questions about the Document and Publication Server is the joint»electronic Publishing Group«of the Computer and Media Services and the University Library 4.2 Author Support One of the goals of electronic publishing at universities is to register and archive all scholarly publications that were created at the universities and/or by scholars and scientists employed by the universities. Standards for storage and archiving with regard to file formats, digital signatures, metadata etc. are desirable and necessary for long-term archiving and possible later reuse of the electronic publications The path to reaching this goal begins with advising and supporting authors and editors. The use of templates in word-processing applications is one basis for structural writing in the digital age. It is therefore recommended to initiate course programs for electronic publishing at the universities. To raise the level of attraction to and acceptance of electronic publishing, strategic advantages such as support services et al. must be developed and offered to authors and editors. DINI encourages the use of Document Type Definitions (DTD) according to international standards for publications, or the support of templates and the enforcement of style sheets for word processors and/or TeX/LaTeX. This is the current practice at Humboldt University. 4.3 Legal Aspects Policy and Contract To be awarded the DINI certificate, a written policy for the operation of the repository must exist. This policy must be accepted by authors and editors as well as the university. This policy must state rights and obligations of operators of a repository and of authors and/or editors. The operator of the repository must enter contractual relations with authors according to the policy. The policy must contain items, where authors grant the following non-exclusive rights to the operator of the repository: The right to electronically store the publication, especially in databases, to make the publication available to the public for individual retrieval, rendition on a monitor and/or print (online use) in part and/or as a whole The right to forward the document to an archiving institution The right to technically convert the files for the purpose of long-term archiving These rights are granted for the unaltered publication. Granting the aforementioned non-exclusive rights to publish, to forward the publication, and to convert for archiving purposes serves not only to publish a document, but also to secure long-term availability of electronic documents on document and publication repositories. Operators of a document and publication repository must explicitly grant the following 10
11 privilege to authors/editors: The author/editor may make the document available on personal repositories or other institutions repositories in part and/or as a whole (right to self-archive) This privilege is granted for the unaltered publication. Rights of Third Parties Authors/editors must assure the operator of a repository that no (copy)rights of third parties will be breached by publishing a document or parts thereof (e. g. pictures) Authors/editors must assure the operator of a repository of immediate notification in cases of doubt or in cases of alleged or actual legal hindrances to the publication of a document or parts thereof Questions of liability in cases of damages and/or legal prosecution must be clarified and regulated between authors/editors and the operator of a repository in a written contract Print Publications The following items become relevant should universities or university presses offer the extra service of printing a publication. Authors/editors must grant the university/university press the exclusive right to publish and distribute the work in print as a book. The option of printing an edition in a print-ondemand procedure must be stated in the contract. Exploitation Rights In case of an additional print publication authors/editors must agree to not publish, transmit or reproduce the work in tangible or intangible form over a given period of time (abstention duty, duplicate registration with VG Wort). In case of a publication with an ISBN assigned, a contract must be signed by authors/editors and universities. The contract must contain paragraphs regulating (copy)rights and exploitation rights. The importance of a legally binding contract increases, if a university press acts on behalf of the university. Exemplary Contract The German version of this document contains in this place the text of a contract as signed by the Oldenburg University with authors publishing through the Oldenburg University Press. As this contract is applicable only within the German legal system, it is not translated into English for this document. However, some of the important issues are listed below; they concur with the recommendations above.: Granting of non-exclusive rights to publisher to publish electronically and in print Granting of right to author to publish on personal server or institutional repositories Liabilities of authors and publisher (violation of third parties rights) Exploitation rights in case of additional print publication 4.4 Authenticity and Data Integrity Storage of publications can be based on a content management system (featuring data replication, data backup) that organizes storage, administration and archiving of electronic media throughout their entire life cycles. Access to the stored digital resources must be ensured for a long-term period. This is done through the use of unambiguous identification systems (persistent identifiers). Persistent identifiers (PI) can additionally be used to support harvesting. PIs can be used as workflow-control mechanisms, where unambiguous identification of objects is required, as in e. g. decentralized processes, checking for doubles, authentication mechanisms, alarm systems, or for multimedia or modular objects. Objects whose modules are stored 11
12 in different repositories can be merged effectively through the use of PIs. By selecting clearly identified modules, different versions can be generated without having to store each of these versions. Digital objects can be cited through their PIs in digital environments as well as in non-digital environments The Repository Documentation In the documentation for the technical system, the administrator(s) must be named and the system itself must be described. Below see an excerpt form the documentation for the repository of the document management system of the university library Dortmund. 9 Server: Data-Server dx1 Administrator: Michael Heyer, Tel. 2423, room 237 Services: The data-server dx1 serves as platform for ca. thirty web servers receiving roughly four million requests per month, and as FTP server handling ca. 100,000 FTP calls per month. Dx1 is used as a back-up server (TSM) for 350 clients on campus; an additional archive server (TSM) is installed. Additionally dx1 serves as mail server (POP, IMAP, SMTP) and as information system for the Cambridge Database (Chemistry). The DBMS Oracle is available. The application ArcView (classroom administration) runs on this server. Lastly, dx1 serves as spooler for a number of printers and plotters. Operating system is Solaris 2.7. Hardware: UltraSPARC Enterprise 4000 Server 6* UltraSPARC, 167 Mhz processors 3 GB main storage; external storages SPARC Storage Array 112 (63 GB), SPARC Storage Array 114 (126 GB), Sun StorEdge D1000 (218 GB) Software: OS Solaris 2.7 System management: Solstice Admin Tools Solstice Disksuite File system NFS Perl Conversion Tools [etc.] Contact: Michael Heyer, phone 2423 Last update: The controlled adding of documents to the repository ensures that only documents adhering to the defined standards and criteria of the repository will be published on the repository. Developing and implementing appropriate workflows is the operators responsibility. Workflows must allow for technical control of the upload of documents. SSL Certification SSL Certification is a prerequisite to guarantee authenticity of the documents for the readers. Certification must be issued by an authorized CA. A digital signature ensures integrity of the documents
13 4.4.2 The Documents Persistent Identifier A persistent identifier must be assigned to every document on the repository. A possible solution is the assignment of URNs. To guarantee the integrity of a document for the reader, a hash must exist for every document in the repository. Changing demands on security foster technical developments in cryptography; algorithms for hash numbers have to be adapted according to these new developments. Current recommendations include the Message Digest Algorithm MD5 or the Secure Hash Algorithm SHA-1. Application of cryptography algorithms should be publicized for the readers information. The following is an excerpt of the University of Chemnitz document repository s information page. 10 The MONARCH Security System The MONARCH system applies various hash algorithms and a digital signature to the documents published on the system. Basics A hash file exists for every publication in MONARCH Three different hash numbers exist for each file of a publication; these numbers are listed in the hash file of the publication The hash file is digitally signed by the archivist Using the hash numbers, it can be checked at any time whether the publication has been altered. The digital signature of the hash file itself allows for checking the hash numbers for changes or alterations since the creation of the hash file. Applied algorithms: Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA) Message Digest Algorithm MD5 RIPE-MD algorithm Digital signature of the hash file The archivist digitally signs the hash file For the digital signature PGP is used Every alteration of a document creates a new document. A persistent identifier is assigned to this new document. Versioning allows for identification of previous versions of a document. Metadata work as links between generations of a document. Digital Signature The German Digital Signature Law 11 differentiates various levels of signatures: Electronic Signature Electronic data added or logically linked to other electronic data used for authentication Advanced Electronic Signature Electronic signature as above, that is assigned exclusively to the holder of the signature key, allows identification of signature-key holder, is created through processes under the exclusive control of the signature-key holder, and is linked with the data it is referring to in such a manner as to allow identification of any alteration of said data after application of the advanced electronic signature legislation of May 16, 2001 published in BGBI I 2001,
14 Qualified Electronic Signature Advanced electronic signature as above, that is based on an at the time of its creation valid and qualified certificate, is created utilizing a secure signature-creation unit. It is recommended to at least apply the Advanced Electronic Signature. To facilitate long-term archiving, it is advised that the institution accepting the original files of a publication creates from those new files in an archiving format. The operator of the document and publication repository should sign an agreement with the operator of an archiving repository. No archiving file-format is recommended at the moment. Documents on the document and publication repository should be published in an established presentation file-format. Currently this is the Portable Document Format (PDF). Should the presentation of the documents not be in this format, either the viewing software should be offered for download with the publication, or a URL be given, where it is available. 4.5 Indexing Subject Indexing It is required that a written strategy for subject indexing of the published documents exist within the document and publication repositories policies. In the long run, indexing not based on a controlled vocabulary will not be sufficient to guarantee good recall and precision in searches for publications. To permit quality searches across multiple document repositories, international indexing systems should be used (v. DINI OAI-recommendations 12 ). Metadata Export and Interfaces DINI is not recommending any specific data structure for the publications on document and publication repositories. However, standardized metadata should be created and provided for exchange and harvesting services. Administrative and technical metadata (long-term availability) of the electronic resources must be provided for archival purposes. Recommended standards such as METS or OAIS aim at this. It is recommended that national and international developments to further enhance long-term availability are taken into consideration. As these developments are currently not finalized, no specific interfaces to long-term-archiving systems can be named (v. 4.7). 4.6 Logs and Statistics Document-related access statistics, integrated into the document and publication repository, contain indications of the relevance of a publication in relation to other publications. Access statistics of a document and publication repository are the qualitative, quantitative and technological basis for the evaluation of the repository. Chronological progression within document-related access statistics can contain indications about the up-to-dateness of a publication throughout its life cycle
15 Comparability Currently, no standards exist for access statistics. Different protocols and harvesting technologies add the problem of uniform logging and evaluation of data.. Currently no mutual basis exists for a comparison of statistics of document and publication repositories nor of the published documents. DINI will closely watch international developments like e. g. the standardization project Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic Resources 13 and publish new recommendations when and where appropriate. It is recommended to store the access statistics for no less than five years. 4.7 Long-Term Availability During a period of five years following the publication date of a document, it is the operators responsibility to ensure access to publications in accordance with the requirements of 2.4. This period must be defined in the document and publication repository s policy. At the same time, the long-term availability of the electronic resources has to be ensured. Recommendations to achieve this are provided by the Network of Competence for Long- Term Archiving and Long-Term Availability 14 ; these recommendations should be adhered to. The operator of the document and publication repository may ensure this independently (depot system according to OAIS), financial and technical means permitting. Alternatively, administrative and organizational infrastructures would have to be implemented to archive in cooperation with an archiving institution 15. Requirements on the transfer of the electronic resource and the metadata necessary for archiving and usage, as listed in 4.5, must fulfilled. Currently, the Network of Competence has not published concrete recommendations on an archiving file-format

If you're planning to get married sometime in the near future and your significant other is a big Disney fan, you maaaaay want to keep the following news to yourself. Unless money is no object that is. [click to continue…]
Y'know when you see something super sweet and adorable and heart squishy and you want to show everyone? That's me right now thanks to imgur user duffmanszalotofthings (oh yeah!).
He and his new wife are huge Harry Potter fans, so he created a Pensieve for her wedding gift. Now, he could have just used a bowl with water and done it as a nice gesture of love, but he went all out and created one of the most perfect things I've ever seen. He made the wand and the bowl himself and packed the glass vials with notes that recall "a memory of her that makes me smile". The bottles can be picked up with the wand thanks to the addition of magnets. *Sniff*
Check out more pics in the gallery below. [click to continue…]
Post updated to credit the Stargate creator/groom:
Ian Milward spent weeks building a Stargate for his wedding and I think it was absolutely worth it. This amazing ring is measures 12-feet in diameter and is unbelievably detailed with constellations and LEDs. And there's a pretty cool story behind it as well:
"They first met working at the same lumber and hardware store, and connected because of a mutual love of Stargate. About a year into their relationship, they were watching the episode where Jack and Sam get married in front of a gate, and she said that would be pretty awesome, so six years later he remembered that and did it."
Check out more images (especially the impressive nighttime view) of the Stargate after the break.
I've always been a firm believer that the best weddings are the ones where the bride and groom don't cater to tradition or the wishes of others. In this case, when Fallon and Ethan got married, they decided to make their wedding a celebration of all the geeky things they love.
They put together quite an event. From Harry Potter themed Quibbler programs and table favors, to Star Wars macarons, to a handmade custom bouquet made of book pages and comic book pages by Meredith at The Flower Girl Atlanta – they had all kinds of great, geeky touches.
Head after the break to see more pictures of this adorably geeky wedding.
When it comes to geek wedding proposals, this one's definitely up there in the "doing it right" section. Not only did redditor Muffinman5423 build a TARDIS, but he put the proposal on the TARDIS itself and then gave his fiancé a key to the TARDIS along with the ring.

We see plenty of themed photos for weddings and engagements, but this series of photos styled after the movie Up is in celebration of a couple's 61st wedding anniversary. The idea came from their granddaughter, Lauren Wells, who arranged the whole thing to make up for the couple having only one photo of their wedding day after being stood up by their photographer.
Wells, an event planner, coordinated everything from flowers to vintage props and arranged for it to be photographed by Cambria Grace Photography. The result is a wonderfully sweet series of pictures that will warm your heart.

Weddings can get expensive – it is known. One way to save money is by getting crafty and turning to DIY projects. Erin and Peter did precisely that and featured some adorable and awesome geeky terrariums as centerpieces for tables at their reception. The glass jars were filled with all sorts of tiny worlds and fandoms from Firefly to Star Wars to Katamari to Super Mario Bros. You only need a few supplies to replicate these and since they're just decorations and not true terrariums with living environments, there's less work.
The best part about nerdy terrariums like these? You don't need to limit them to weddings. You can make these for your kitchen table, your nightstand, or any surface. They also make fantastic gifts.

It's just not safe to be part of a wedding party any longer. They've recently been chased by a dinosaur, by AT-ATs, and now Rex from Toy Story is joining on the fun. He looks way too happy about terrorizing the bride and bridesmaids in this photo. Luckily he's too cute to be much of a threat.

I use FireFox. I can simply copy the Firefox folder from:

FireFox Portable is the same as Paul's approach too. But can be downloaded, doesn't need a machine where it was managed to be installed.
In both cases, the trick is that they are not "installed" but are portable apps that are copied from place to place without running an installer and putting data into the registry. So Windows does not consider them to be installed.

An update on our Magic Jack Plus home phoneKacie
Jan. 31 edit: I have had THREE calls drop in the last week. Not good.
It's been about two months since I purchased a MagicJack Plus device for our home telephone usage. I'm happy to say that it's going well!
Just a reminder — you use a regular telephone with the Magic Jack. You don't need to buy a special phone to use it. I chose a cordless phone that cost about $15.
I use the Magic Jack Plus when calling my parents and my grandma, mostly. My parents don't have AT&T cell phones so it uses my cell minutes to call them. My grandma prefers her landline. She doesn't have long distance service on it, and my cell has a long-distance area code. My Magic Jack phone number has a 317 area code, which is local to Indianapolis.
I chose my area code and the first 3 digits of my phone number.
I use the Magic Jack phone when making local calls to businesses and any place that doesn't have a toll-free phone number.
The call quality isn't perfect. If you want crystal-clear phone conversations, you probably won't get them with this device. I think the sound quality compares to a decent cell phone connection, though. I've never had a call drop, become garbled, or otherwise un-talkable.
Perhaps if I had a high-tech phone or a faster internet connection, I'd hear even better results.
People on the other line hear me just fine, and I can hear them plainly, too. I'm happy with it enough that I want to keep it, but I just want to caution you of what you could expect.
I paid $69 + tax for the device and 12 months of service (unlimited free calls, voicemail and other perks). Next year, I'll pay $30 for 12 months of service. Cheap!
By using the device for most of our calls while at home, we're able to have the smallest available family plan for our cell phones.
We still haven't decided if it's best for us to keep our contract plan, or if we'd be better off to switch to a prepaid cell.
The voicemail service is entertaining. If someone calls and I don't pick up, they hear "The Magic Jack customer you are trying to reach is unavailable," or something like that, and then they can leave a message.
Immediately, I get an email which tells me the phone number the call came from, and has an audio file I can download and listen to. Or, I could call my phone number and press # to hear the message.
I don't get a notification for missed calls, though.
I wouldn't recommend this as your only phone line, since it will not work if you have a power failure or even if your internet conks out. It's best to have a cell phone as well.
Note that not everyone has favorable reviews of the Magic Jack Plus. There are plenty of 1-star reviews on Amazon, and elsewhere throughout the internet. There are complaints about customer service and porting your phone number. I didn't port my phone number; I created a new one. And I haven't had to contact customer service, so I can't comment on that.
Read up on the reviews, good and bad. If you buy one, be sure to get the Magic Jack Plus instead of the plain Magic Jack. The plain version requires you to keep your computer on to be in use.
There's a 30-day trial if you purchase from the Magic Jack site.
Do you have a VoIP phone service? How do you like it?
Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links for Amazon. I paid for my Magic Jack Plus myself, and have no business partnership with that company.
P.S. — I am working on the retirement series and I want to make sure I have it mostly written/outlined before I start, so that it will have a clear direction. I'm going to do a blog series and also post the links on a separate page for easy reference later. Hope to launch the week of Jan 30 but don't hold me to it yet. Thank you!

I've gone back and forth on phone service a number of times and I'm afraid you may be sucking me into another round of VOIP.
Originally, to save money, my wife and I did VOIP through a company SunRocket and did prepaid cell phones in case of emergencies. Monthly, it all worked out to about $30 for it all.
It worked great! But, then SunRocket went out of business so we switched to a company called VOIP, which was not as good of a service. So we both got two cell phones, but with the expensive Verizon plans.
The problem with just two cell phones, is that we often leave them on silent by accident and miss important phone calls when we are at home. We really could use landlines for those instances, but don't like the extra costs.

We switched to MJ from using our cable line. Saves us about $45 per month. No complaints for us aside that in our part of Canada they wouldn't let us port our phone number.

Yes, I do have a VoIP phone service through my cable company, Time Warner. I got it when it first became available. Right around that time my Dad became sick and then passed away. It has been such a blessing to have this. I am able to talk to my Mom as many times a day as I need to. Some days thats none but others it's several long calls. She is now 85 and I handle her financial life- paying her bills, getting her medical appointments and prescriptions delivered and rides because she no longer drives. Thanks to the VoIP service I never have to stop and think about how much is this call going to cost me. It is not fun to have aging parents but I am so thankful for VoIP phone service, the internet ( I've ordered a new stove, a vacuum cleaner) and debit cards. All things that make it possible to be helpful from 1,000 miles away. I thought it was silly when she got VoIP phone service too but it has worked out well. She no longer hesitates to call if she needs me. I'm sure there will come a time when we will get by with just a cell but for now I am happy with the service and it's worth every cent.

I go back and forth on this subject.
I'd really like to save the money…but I have a few friends that have had disastrous experiences and that is making me apprehensive. But I your review has me thinking again. Perhaps if I can find it for a good price I'll think about it.
Thanks for the great update.

Yeah it's a hard call. I think if you do get it, Tammy, maybe don't port your current landline phone number over in case you decide you don't like it.

I have also been doing the magicjack plus experiment for the last month. i haven't had any major complaints. I have a phone with an answering machine so any messages are left on the machine and not saved as a audio file. I didn't port my number and also have not had to deal with customer service. I still have my landline for the moment. I kept it just in case I didn't like the magicjack and I wanted to go back to the landline. It's amazing how few calls you get when the telemarketers don't know your phone number.
By Christina @ Northern Cheapskate on Jan 28, 2012 | Reply
I would always want a landline… to me it is worth the expense. we've had more than one extended power outage which also took out power to cell phone towers… no towers, no cell. I would also be concerned about 911 services being able to locate my home quickly (we live in a rural area).

I have MagicJack plus. For several months everything went well. I use a cordless phone for my home phone. All of a sudden, I cannot call out using the cordless phone – only the softpad on the computer screen. I CAN receive incoming calls on the cordless phone but cannot make outgoing calls. I talked to MJ Tech service 3 times & talked to two persons each time to no avail. They know less that I do. I tried switching to a regular phone & that works OK. And the cordless phone worked great for several months – then all of a sudden it won't. There should be some simple setting to re-set it – but nobody can come up w/a resolution.

How come people like historical memory holes?
I'm moved to ask this question by the Lebanese Minister of Culture, Gaby Layoun, who said last week that "the Cedar Revolution does not exist". He's decided, in fact, to erase it from any secondary school books in Lebanon. So that the uprising by up to a million Lebanese on 14 March 2005 to protest at the assassination of former prime minister Rafiq Hariri and to demand the withdrawal of Syrian forces from Lebanon didn't – well, that's it, it didn't happen. I was there. I saw it. It was probably the very early start of the Arab Awakening. And it did get the Syrians out. But... well, maybe the Syrians are still here.
Actually, I know what offends Gaby. He believes the phrase was invented by the former US ambassador to Lebanon, Jeffrey Feltman – actually, it was dreamed up by the US Under Secretary of State, Paula Dobriansky, but no matter – and thus is not a "genuine" name for the extraordinary event seven years ago. The Lebanese called it the "Independence Intifada" and later the "Beirut Spring". But "Cedar Revolution" certainly stuck with many Lebanese. Since the present Lebanese government is supported by Hezbollah and displays total neutrality towards Syria, you can see the problem. The Sunnis and part of the Christian Maronite community and the Druze feel that their protest is being deleted. After all, they accept Liberation Day which marks the final withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanon in 2000 – and which honours the Hezbollah Shia resistance.
"Does disagreement in politics erase historical events?" the Druze leader Walid Jumblatt asked. And he's right, because if you're going to mess with history, how is this new textbook going to handle the Lebanese civil war and all its grotesqueries? If the Phalangist part of the Maronites insisted on taking the Shias out of Lebanese history, what would the Hezbollah say? Gaby Layoun, I should add, is a Christian Maronite supporter of General Michel Aoun who is in turn a supporter of Syria. Enough.
These evasions, of course, do not all stem from political trickery. Tony Blair did not claim that America was Britain's oldest ally because he was trying to change history but because he was ignorant. (The answer is Portugal.) But I've already noticed the Israelis trying a little trickery of their own. Will there be a fourth Lebanon war, they are asking? Well, no, Israel has already had five Lebanon wars (1978, 1982, 1993, 1996, 2006) and the next one will be the sixth. But since they almost all ended in disaster – I was here and watched them – I guess it's worth chucking out a couple to lessen public indignation.
I'm reminded of this because of a passage in John McCarthy's forthcoming book on the Palestinians of Israel, You Can't Hide the Sun: A Journey through Israel and Palestine. John spent five years in Lebanon's hostage dungeons, and he's had the intriguing idea of focusing not on the West Bank and Gaza but on those Arabs who have Israeli nationality. And he retells, of course, the story of the Palestinian disaster of 1948 – the Nakba – and the flight of 750,000 civilians who now, along with their children, grandchildren, etc, make up the Palestinian refugee population. The Palestinians who remain in Israel and their descendants are those who didn't flee, or managed to stay inside the frontiers of the new Israeli state.
Now comes the memory hole bit. "There are only three mixed schools in Israel," John writes. "... Arab children attend schools where they are taught in Arabic... and Jewish students learn in Hebrew. A few years ago an enlightened (Israeli) minister of education approved a textbook that talked about the Nakba. It was only used in Arab schools, though. A subsequent minister had the book taken off the syllabus. The history of modern Israel and of the Palestinians, when taught in school, is twisted by the establishment's agenda." Alas, all true. And many reporters still lap up the Israeli story that the Palestinians were, in 1948, ordered by Arab leaders over the radio to abandon their homes until Arab armies drove the Israelis into the sea. Totally untrue. And that the Israelis did not massacre any Palestinians in 1948. Alas, untrue again.
John McCarthy tells the wonderful story of a Palestinian reporter broadcasting to America from a Palestinian protest demonstration about the Nakba on Israel's Independence Day (for which the Palestinians, as you might think, have somewhat less enthusiasm than the Israelis). The programme's presenter in New York, however, simply didn't know the story. He finished by wishing the reporter "Happy Nakba!".
But John McCarthy's interest in history – and getting it right – is admirable. He went to Haileybury, one of whose old boys was General Allenby. John's hostage humour shines through. Allenby took Megiddo as part of his title – Viscount Allenby of Megiddo and of Felixstowe. "Setting the scene of his military triumph – and that of the Book of Revelation's Judgement Day – alongside a minor English seaside resort has to be one of the most extraordinary and endearing of geographical twinnings," McCarthy writes. "But I did begin to think that if he had stayed in Felixstowe, I might not be sitting in that hole in the ground." Spot on, John. And that was some historical hole.

I was originally supose to get Taxol, now Dr is saying Taxotere are they just similar or the same? Thanks in advanceREAD MORE
Difference between Taxotere and Taxol
My oncologist told me that there was a better overall response rate to Taxotere, which is why he prefers it.
Hi Ms.Tiffany! Hope you're doing well- I found the following good explanation on scienceblog.com:
Taxotere (docetaxel) and Taxol (paclitaxel) are closely related. Taxol was discovered in the USA by testing many natural compounds while Taxotere was developed in Europe as part of a programme to screen closely related compounds. Both compounds work by interfering with cell division, but there are subtle differences. When tested in tissue culture not all cancer cells are equally sensitive to both agents. There are also differences in they way they are broken down and cleared from the body. So there are reasons to believe they may have different effectiveness as anti-cancer medicines.
Hope the taxotere works well for you - PJH

I must admit that maven and me are not the best mates, but I am using latest trunk and still have this problem. I reckon it is a maven issue with artifacts et al. but how can I do aka ant a "ant clean build" from my current trunk and maven is actually using the trunk? Further I am really missing some documentation about components using the new spring stuff only. I mean I know how to write avalon components from 2.1 but since I am trying to jump on the 2.2 train I want to develop avalon less components (I reckon that is the reason to use 2.2 after all). I will try to add some as soon I get my custom transformer running. Thanks for all your efforts. salu2 -- Thorsten Scherler thorsten.at.apache.org Open Source Java consulting, training and solutions
