More than 100 years ago, the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie saw the potential for the public library to be the center of enlightened learning in every community. He offered to build libraries if communities would contribute land, furnish money for annual maintenance, and exercise governance and oversight.
Between 1881 and 1917, he invested the modern-day equivalent of $3 billion to build 1,689 libraries across the nation. Carnegie's investment and the involvement of those communities helped educate generations of Americans.
Libraries continue to do so. The problem is that we, the public, tend to think that once the library is there, it can continue doing its job without considering what has happened to the buildings, technology, population, the needs of the public and more.
Consider how often your own home needs maintenance — leaking pipes and roofs, termites, faulty wiring, general wear and tear — to say nothing of the times you might have liked to change a wall, or add a room to make space for additional family or changed activities. Public buildings such as libraries have these same needs.
Consider how much technology has changed, not only in the last 100 years, but in the last decade, five years, or even a year. When you go to the library, you expect to find, if not the latest, at least fairly recent computers and software. And behind the scenes, if it were not for refitting of electrical systems, those computers would not be able to operate.
Consider that the square footage of our three Costa Mesa libraries only amounts to about 16,400 square feet. This is less than a third of the standard recommendation for square footage per capita.
Some people say that, with computers and electronic books, we don't need bigger libraries. But libraries across the nation are finding that computers in libraries are adding to library use and that, although eBooks are gaining in popularity, it will be a long time before all people are reading them, and before all books are available digitally.
I will talk more later on changes in library services and financing in the last 100 years, but in the meantime, I would like to encourage you all to consider exercising "governance and oversight" of our public libraries.
Writers' Workshops

At the Mesa Verde Library
Some years ago, a man planted a tree in front of the Mesa Verde Library, at 2969 Mesa Verde Drive, to commemorate a brother who had died.
This past year, the tree has been "clothed" in a colorful "Random Act of Knitting." I recently noticed it.
Inside the library, there has also been change. I may have mentioned the new countertops that the Friends of the Library have provided, but the latest addition is new chairs, also a gift of the Friends. Those for the children are brightly colored.
Call the library, at (714) 546-5274, for information on Storytimes and other children's activities.
At the Costa Mesa Donald Dungan Library
The Mystery Book Club's theme for the next few months will be first books in popular mystery series.
On April 24, the group will discuss "On What Grounds" by Cleo Coyle. Coyle is the pen name for author Alice Alfonsi, who collaborates with her husband Marc Cerasini to write the Coffeehouse Mysteries.
This series is set in and around a fictional coffeehouse in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City. The book club is free and anyone can join.
The topic of the May 3 ReadOC Parent Workshop is "Reading Fun with Puppets."
Parents of infant, toddler and preschool children are invited to come to these one-hour sessions to learn about parenting topics in a small, child-friendly group. Parents are welcome to bring their children.
Call (949) 646-8845 for information on Storytime programming at this library. The branch is at 1855 Park Ave.
MARY ELLEN GODDARD produced this column on behalf of the Friends of Costa Mesa Libraries, the Costa Mesa Library Foundation and the three Costa Mesa branches of the Orange County Public Libraries.

I like the idea for a number ones' poll and any sort of picture quiz is also a good idea. I do miss the Saturday Screencaps so it would be good if they returned, even if it was only once a month or fortnight and as Mikey says, it doesn't really matter if it has been done before.

It was very much luck of the draw in participation. Some weeks it was busy with half a dozen or so onboard, and other weeks the six hours prep work seemed like a hard bargain with just myself and the odd passing player dropping in.

I went for a walk on Saturday on Frager Road and saw a number of signs on symbols that I could only take as harbinger of the year to come. I saw a man under the Veteran's Driver Overpass riding a BMX bike. He was a middle age man on a child's bike. He asked me for the time. I didn't want check my phone, but told him instead I didn't know the time. I said that I my guess is that it was about 12:30. I figured I'd left the house around noon and I'd been walking for a number of minutes along the Green River. I didn't want to show my phone. He was grizzled. I couldn't fell if the bike was his or a bike he had picked up from someone's back yard. He awkwardly perched on the bike and had to keep it in motion to keep from falling over. With each pedal he had to hunch down. He wore a green rain jacket, a baseball hat, and had a full sized hiking rucksack with a bedroll. After we had our exchange, I wanted to check my guess about the time but I didn't want to reveal to him that I had lied to him about not being able to check the time, so I briskly walked ahead of him. After about five minutes I looked behind me and he was ambling behind me, walking alongside his bike. So I kept walking briskly and then looked behind me again and there he was still ambling along. He was a very rapid ambler. So I wasn't able to check the time. There is a metal bridge that crossed the river at the Puget Power Trail. I had this sense then that I needed to cross the water to get past him. I thought maybe he wouldn't cross the bridge ambling along with his bike, or maybe I had a sense that he couldn't cross the water like some supernatural creature. When I got to the bridge, I turned to see if he was going to follow me over the bridge, but he'd disappeared somewhere in the cottonwood growing on the banks of an old mill pond. On the Frager Road I try not to walk at dusk. Most of the time I encounter people who are walking their dogs, riding their bicycles in some kind of competitive distance race, or jogging. I encounter people who are headed somewhere and have a purpose. With the salmon run in the fall, men wearing hoodies line the banks of the Green River with their rods propped in the muck and their hands in their pockets. They stare morosely at the turbid water patiently waiting for a salmon to swallow their hook. At dusk, however, I run into men carrying bedrolls who don't really seem to have anywhere to go. They wander along the side of the river, or wander into the forest. He was gone. I checked my time and it was about 12:45, so I had been very correct.
On the way back to my car just past the Veteran's Drive Overpass where forested hill become very steep as it climbs up to the Des Moines Kent Road, I saw someone in the distance waving their arms. The fir and maple trees obscured them. I stopped and could see a long haired person, a woman probably, in a grey sweat shirt waving her arms like she needed to be rescued. I kept walking, and then at the base of the hill where a muddy trail heads into the forest up toward her location, there was a bike trailer like yuppie couples use to lug along their babies when they are out for exercise on their bike. It had a bright red nylon awning and was stuffed with garbage bags. I kept walking before the woman or longhaired person came down from the forest to accost me. I wondered then if the man on the BMX had intended to meet this woman at a certain time under the Veteran's Drive Overpass, and now I was being mistaken for her appointment, where before I'd been mistaken for his appointment?
I kept walking and encountered the third and final sign for 2015. I noticed a number of crows in a tree harassing what at first I took to be a giant old crow and then realized was a falcon. The falcon sat in a tree and a half-dozen crows jeered at it. When the falcon saw me walking under him, he jumped from the tree and sailed over the river. The crows took off in pursuit and dive bombed him, and he made a slow arc into the sky and then back into the forest. The crows scattered then shouting and yelling about the falcon.

Elizabeth I (1533-1603), was queen of England from 1558 until her death in 1603. Her reign is often called the Golden Age or the Elizabethan Age because it was a time of great achievement in England. Elizabeth made the Church of England, a Protestant denomination, the country's main church. At the same time, she long avoided war with Europe's leading Roman Catholic nations. The English navy defeated a powerful Spanish fleet, and English merchants and sailors challenged the Spaniards with greater confidence throughout the world. The economy prospered, while Elizabeth's court became a centre for poets, musicians, and scholars.
Early years. Elizabeth was born at Greenwich, an estate near London. She was the daughter of Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn. Elizabeth's mother was executed for treason in 1536. Henry died in 1547 and was succeeded by Elizabeth's half brother, Edward VI. Like Elizabeth, Edward had been raised a Protestant When he died in 1553, Elizabeth's half sister, Mary Tudor, became queen. Mary had been raised as a Catholic by her mother, Catherine of Aragon, and was determined to make Catholicism the state religion of England. She became known as "Bloody Mary" for her persecution of Protestants.
Queen Mary distrusted Elizabeth, who was next in line to the throne. Elizabeth cautiously avoided any involvement in politics during Mary's rule. But Elizabeth came under suspicion in 1554, following an uprising known as Wyatt's Rebellion. The rebels tried to overthrow Mary, but failed. Elizabeth was imprisoned for a time though no evidence linking her to the plot was found. Mary died in 1558, and Elizabeth became queen.
Problems at home and abroad challenged Elizabeth as queen. The previous year, Mary had involved England in a costly war with France. Struggling Protestant forces in Scotland, France, and the Netherlands sought Elizabeth's support. But, England's economy was poor, and the treasury lacked the revenue to support the routine costs of government. Elizabeth also had to decide whether England's religion would be Catholic or Protestant and to do so without causing a revolt.
With the aid of Parliament and her chief adviser, Sir William Cecil, Elizabeth ended the war with France. She also secretly sent money and weapons to the Scottish Protestants. Elizabeth hoped to satisfy most of her subjects by establishing a church that was primarily Protestant in doctrine. Under the Religious Settlement of 1559, the Act of Supremacy re-established the Church of England, which Henry VIII had set up and Mary had tried to abolish. This church was independent of the Roman Catholic Church, but had some similarities to it. The Act of Uniformity approved a new prayer book and enforced its use.
Elizabeth never married, and she used her single status as a foreign policy tool. She encouraged both Catholic and Protestant suitors, but committed herself to no one. By avoiding marriage to a Protestant, she gave encouragement to her own Catholic subjects, who remained loyal with few exceptions. Elizabeth's flirtations with Catholic suitors kept King Philip II of Spain, a Catholic, from taking direct military action against her for several years while the Church of England gained popular support. For a time, Elizabeth seemed to be in love with one of her subjects, Sir Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester. However, Elizabeth's cautious nature kept her from entering a marriage that lacked political benefit.
Elizabeth's cousin, Mary Stuart (Mary Queen of Scots), was forced to abdicate her throne as queen of Scotland in 1567. She later fled to England, where her presence caused a great deal of uneasiness. Mary was a Catholic and heir to the English throne. Many English people feared she would try to replace Elizabeth. Several plots against Elizabeth involving Catholic nobility proved unsuccessful. In 1584, the English aristocracy formed an association to protect their queen and vowed to prevent a Catholic succession in England. In 1586, Mary was implicated in another plot against Elizabeth. Public reaction against Mary was strong. Reluctantly, Elizabeth finally agreed to Mary's execution in 1587.
In 1586, Elizabeth sent an army to help Protestants in the Dutch Netherlands fight Spanish rule. She also encouraged English ships to raid Spanish fleets. Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh, and other "sea dogs" looted several Spanish ships. In 1587, Drake destroyed 30 Spanish ships in port at Cadiz. These events and the execution of Mary Stuart led King Philip II of Spain to approve an invasion of England. He assembled an armada and sent it to England in 1588. But the smaller and swifter English vessels routed the Spanish fleet. Fierce storms then wrecked many of the fleeing Spanish ships off the coasts of Ireland and Scotland. Spain's power was seriously damaged, but the war went on for 16 years.
Despite the armada's defeat, many English people still feared a Spanish invasion. But Elizabeth eased their fears in August of 1588 with a speech to soldiers assembled at Tilbury. English literature, in particular, thrived during this period. Francis Bacon composed his Essays; Christopher Marlowe wrote and staged The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus; Edmund Spenser wrote his epic poem, The Faerie Queene; and William Shakespeare wrote some of the world's greatest poetry and drama.
Problems at home marked the end of Elizabeth's reign. The Irish rebelled, and the economy soured. The Earl of Essex had captured Elizabeth's interest, but he became discouraged in his quest for power and led a rebellion in 1601. He was soon captured, convicted of treason, and executed. Elizabeth was succeeded by James VI, the Protestant son of Mary Stuart.

As the summer season of concerts gets underway, a Father's Day tradition hits the 25-year mark and a new act debuts.
Just Jazz Live will take the Band Shell stage for the first time this evening, and on Sunday, the Ashland Area Community Concert Band will play its 25th Father's Day show.
Both concerts begin at 8 p.m. on their respective evenings.
Leonard Salvo once again takes the baton for the Ashland Area Community Concert Band.
The set list for the Father's Day concert includes classic marches, such as "A Festival Prelude" and "The Stars and Stripes Forever," along with selections from the musical "Beauty and the Beast" and "Dances of a Shimmering Spirit," a piece commissioned by the Ashland University band in memoriam of Christina Lattanzi.
"Basically we do a wide variety of music — some serious things, some lighter pieces, classic band literature and some contemporary music," Salvo said. "For this program, it will be a little bit lighter and more easy listening."
During this year's concert, he will honor the five members who have played in the band all 25 years. They are Carolyn E. Dandalides of Ashland; Salvo's wife, Suzanne Guisasola Salvo of Ashland; Dennis Tuttle of Mount Vernon; Pat Tuttle of Mount Vernon; and Brad Wiedenhamer of Ashland.
The band members come from all walks of life and vary in age from high schoolers to retired senior citizens.
"This is sort of a big year for us, to actually make it to 25 when you didn't even know if you were going to make it past the first one," Salvo said.
It all started in 1993, when Salvo moved to the area, and discovered Ashland lacked a community band.
Plus, his wife was playing with a community band in Medina at the time and had grown weary of the commute.
After consulting with several local school band directors and gauging their interest, Salvo put out a notice in the newspaper, looking for interested musicians. He ended up with a crowd of 60.
Salvo, who is now retired, was the director of bands at Ashland University, and he turned the group into a class to entice college students.
"It worked out great," Salvo said. "I can't tell you how many people I've had in the group in the 25 years we've been doing this."
Most of the musicians come from a close proximity, but they also hail from as far away as Medina, Brunswick, Mount Vernon and Cortland.
Even though vocalist Kelly Knowlton is one of Ashland's own and has graced the Band Shell stage before, this evening will mark the first time Just Jazz Live has played there.
"Of course everyone in Ashland knows Kelly Knowlton and her wonderful voice," said Judith Webster, band shell coordinator. "So we're really excited about this group."
The feeling is mutual for the band.
"I've been coming to shows at the Band Shell since I was a little girl and I've had the opportunity to play on stage a couple of times before with various groups, but this is the first time that this particular group is having the opportunity to perform, so that's pretty exciting," Knowlton said.
Expect to hear songs tonight from the Great American Songbook, by composers such George Gershwin or Cole Porter – think Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Dean Martin's style.
They also play a few "wildcards", like pop crossovers, Knowlton said.
The band's core lineup includes another vocalist, Joel Claypool, along with Tom Blair on saxophone and flute, Britt Reed on guitar and Tom McCartney on saxophone and flute.
The group usually performs as a three to four person ensemble, playing around Cleveland, Columbus and Lexington, but tonight, the band is bringing in other area musicians to make it an eight-piece group.
"We play in different combinations, just depending on who it is that is asking us to play, and what they're looking for," Knowlton said. "So it's not very often that we get to have everyone involved in the group, like all in the same place at the same time. So we're pretty excited about that."

The Band Shell summer series continues on June 21 with 7 Bridges, an Eagles tribute band.
"I heard them at a conference, and I was so impressed with them, with their singing," Webster said. "They're really faithful to the Eagles' sound. And they all sing. It's like five-part harmony."
Tribute groups tend to draw the biggest crowds, Webster said.
With the Band Shell's limited budget, booking acts can be tricky, which is why the concerts are held on Thursdays and Sundays, Webster said.
"We can often get them at a reduced rate if, say, they have a Saturday night gig or a Friday night gig somewhere not too far — within 100 miles or a couple hundred miles or so," Webster said. "It's kind of called block scheduling, and that's how I do get some of the more expensive groups is through that system."
Later that week, on June 24, is Never Surrender, a group likely to draw a younger crowd, Webster said.
"They're just a rowdy rock band," Webster said. "And so we're hoping everyone enjoys them. It's a little bit different from what we've had."
Pops in the Park, featuring the Ashland Symphony Orchestra, also brings out a large audience every summer. The concert will fall on July 1 this year.
On July 4 itself, the U.S. Air Force Band of Flight will play the Band Shell.
Plus, acts that were previously popular with the Ashland area crowd are making return appearances, such as The Fitzgeralds on July 26 and The Diamond Project on Aug. 2, Webster said.
"I'm really excited about the season," Webster said. "We always try to do a variety."

"Having Brian Fahey as a realtor means that you dont have to worry anymore. He tells you exactly what to do if anything. Even in this declining market he sold our house quick and for a good price. You cannot do better than Brian Fahey especially for our particular neighborhood."
Ashley and Ryan
"After we both received job offers in a city 1,750 miles away with start dates in less than 60 days, selling our home at a fair price in a very short amount of time became our number one priority. In the area in which we lived, we regularly noticed "Sold" signs with Brian's name on them, and at least once a week we received high quality mailings from Brian about homes for sale in the area. Although we had never met Brian before, after two years of this routine, we knew exactly who we wanted to sell our home when that time came. Brian's work can best be summarized with three concepts: Expert Direction, Professionalism & Polish, and Communication. From the very start, we absolutely believe that the few (but impactful) suggestions that Brian provided to help improve the attractiveness of our home added an additional $20,000 to our final price at a cost of less than $2,500 and 10 days of time. The quality of his advertising methods (signage, marketing materials, etc) could easily have been used to sell a multi-million dollar home, at no extra cost to us. Also, at a time when we clearly had plenty on our plate preparing to move across the country, Brian's quick replies to our inquiries and proactive efforts to keep us informed on the progress of our home sale was refreshing from a sales professional, and his ability to deflect bogus requests and questions from potential buyers versus flooding them over to us was very much appreciated as well. The fact is, we had a need to sell our home quickly at an inflated cost from the recent real estate property boom, just as the now familiar "credit crisis" began to decimate the real estate market. Although others in the area had their comparable homes on the market for 3-6 months (over a year for our next door neigbor), with Brian's help we sold our's in less than a month within 2% of our asking price! We can't thank him enough for his help, and we'd absolutely encourage anyone looking for a great home selling experience to seek his services."
Paul and Aline Gaubert
"To Whom It May Concern: Brian Fahey of Coldwell Banker recently sold our property, 1817 Carlotta Lane, Austin, Texas 78733. It was a pleasure to do business with such a professional person as Brian. Brian and Sarah successfully marketed our property in a timely manner, and we appreciated the utmost courtesy shown to us during the sensitive transition period any family endures when they sell. We are happy to recommend Brian to anyone who would like to experience service beyond their current expectations."
Kimberly Collins
"Dear Coldwell Banker, I wanted to write a letter to let you know how pleased I was to have Brian Fahey as our realtor. He recently sold our home in a location and price range that the homes had not been moving quickly. We had a resale property in the same neighborhood that took over a year to sell, and when we hired Brian to sell our personal residence we were worried. However, from the first meeting with him, he was on the ball. Already marketing and generating interest. Our house sold in 2.5 weeks! Thank you for providing the service and help we were looking for."
Chris & Sofia Kiske
"Brian is a true 21st Century marketer of homes. While others use a sign, an ad, and a prayer, Brian expertly utilizes cutting edge multi-media resources uniquely at his disposal."
Don Fussell
"Brian was persistant and persuasive in getting my property sold. Truly did a great job!"
Dr Janet Butler
"Brian knows what it takes to sell a house and gets the job done. He and his sales team are personable and professional. We're glad we listed with Brian!"
The Goldwaits
"It's finally over! After 10 agonizing months the sale of our Austin home is complete. I cannot thank you enough. You were able to do in less than 30 days what the other realtor couldn't do in 9 months. I only wish I had hired you from day one. I would say good luck to you but I don't think you operate on luck, from what I have witnessed it is hard work and preparation."
Jamie Provenzano
"He did a brilliant job and we were completely happy with his service"

While we are tired of discussing whether humanities computing is a discipline or an interdisciplinary field, it is still worth looking at what it is to become a discipline. Starting with a discussion of disciplinarity I argue that when a field begins to control the means of its academic reproduction through programmes it becomes a discipline. This founding moment of rupture with the surrounding disciplines should not be overlooked, nor should the dangers inherent in the defining of a field that happens through formalization in educational structures. In multimedia, in particular, there is a rupture around the place of the crafts of digital creation that places us in conflict with ideas about the liberal and servile (applied) arts. This will be the contribution of the digital humanities – a reorientation to craft and creative art in the humanities.
There is no more stunning fact about the academic profession anywhere in the world than the simple one that academics are possessed by disciplines, fields of study, even as they are located in institutions. With the growth of specialization in the last century, the discipline has become everywhere an imposing, if not dominating, force in the working lives of the vast majority of academics.[1]
A discipline is born when a field takes control of its means of reproduction, specifically the ability to produce ›disciples‹ or students. The founding of a discipline is a rupture in the existing structure of institutions, one which is outside the founded discipline, being the condition of its becoming. The founding of a discipline is a liminal moment that defines the relationship between the discipline and those surrounding institutions. Humanities computing (HC) is becoming a discipline as it struggles to understand itself, struggles with existing disciplines and finds a new place within institutions. This paper will look at the emergence of humanities computing programmes as the founding of a discipline and the possibilities for rupture.
A branch of learning or a field of study characterized by a body of intersubjectively acceptable knowledge, pertaining to a well defined realm of entities, systematically established on the basis of generally accepted principles with the help of methodical rules or procedures [...].[2]
The question of the disciplinarity of humanities computing was raised in a sustained fashion by a seminar organized at the University of Virginia in the 1999-2000 academic year.[3] The reason Virginia had for organizing a year-long seminar was the development of a graduate program in humanities computing – a program for which they needed »a clear idea of what the field is, and whether it is, in fact, a field of scholarly inquiry.«[4] The answers to the question of that seminar were as varied as the presenters; for my talk I argued that Humanities Computing is a discipline and that it is better called Multimedia partly because it would thus be clear what our object of study was. Here I will not belabor the issue of whether the discipline is best called Humanities Computing, Multimedia, or, for that matter, Digital Humanities (as Virginia chose to call their program), and I will use the terms interchangeably. There is now a perception that the issue has been exhausted for which reason this paper is not so much about whether humanities computing is a discipline as it is about what we are becoming and what choices we have before us, whatever the name we choose for the coming state of affairs.[5] I am going to do that through the question of disciplinarity, but this is about a particular moment in the development of our field, namely the birth of a self-perpetuating institution through instructional programmes.[6]
To return to the question through definitions and the etymology of ›discipline‹ we can imagine what Humanities Computing is becoming.
First, »Discipline« comes from the Latin for pupil or »disciple«. A »disciple« is a particular type of pupil who is trained to spread the doctrines of his or her masters which suggests that a discipline is an institution that perpetuates itself through the ongoing preparation of its teachers. With the first undergraduate and graduate HC programmes graduating disciples we have an important change in the field.
Second, a ›discipline‹ is mental training that is designed to teach one to think appropriately rather than master a set content. Such training can be enforced by ›discipline‹ in the sense of punishment that aims to develop obedience and habits. Mental training as a goal has a long history in American liberal arts education. The Yale Report of 1828 proposed that the college should provide students with »discipline and furniture of the mind«.[7] Discipline is the formation or shaping of a liberal house of the mind in contrast to the content or furniture with which the mind is filled. Discussions around HC programmes have been much exercised with the issue of exactly what should be taught, a discipline of thinking about the use of computing in the humanities or certain content. The choices of early curricular designers could determine the discipline and content of the field.
Third, a ›discipline‹ is a branch of knowledge with a family of objects of study, research methods, discourses and teaching habits. These shift over time and are the subject of debate, especially at founding moments when a field wants to claim the prerogatives of disciplinarity, as HC does now and the Virginia seminar noted. That said, there is a tradition of objects of creation and study, a tradition of methods, and a tradition of discourse that can be loosely identified as that which is published in our leading journals.[8]
Another way to ask about disciplines is to look at them as an ethnographer would and ask not what they should be, but what they are seen from the outside. The following are characteristics drawn from Becher's Academic Tribes and Territories, Clark's The Academic Life, Bordieu's Homo Academicus, and essays from Kockelmans' (ed.) Interdisciplinarity and Higher Education. They correspond loosely to the components of the third definition proposed above.
Who. A discipline is composed of a group of people who self-identify as belonging to the discipline. In the case of academic disciplines these are typically faculty, researchers, specialists, and students who at any point in time consider themselves to be working in that field. In HC these would be the usual suspects that regularly attend the ACH/ALLC conferences. It is worth noting the tension Clark highlights in the quote at the start of this paper; that academics, even if they work in institutions like universities and colleges, are still ›possessed‹ by disciplines playing these two modes of affiliation off each other.
What. A discipline has objects of study and a discourse in common. This includes not only what we believe we are studying, but the texts that we typically use, the jargon of the discipline, and the typical objects created when working in the area – for example, web sites, electronic texts, concordances, and multimedia works. Of special importance is the field as an object to itself – that way in which a discipline is an object to itself. A discipline maintains common stories of its founding and a history complete with heroes (Father Busa), monsters (English Departments) and timely achievements (the publication of the TEI P4).
How. A discipline has agreed upon methods and practices for the study of its objects. This is the characteristic that Willard McCarty has drawn our attention to – that humanities computing shares (and develops) a set of computing methods with which to model problems in and for the humanities.[9] There is also, however, a second set of practices that distinguish a discipline, and those are the organizational mechanisms with which a discipline controls itself from project management to graduate instruction. Despite what we think we do, there are practices that define us, in particular the practices associated with large electronic text projects. This is what is changing now as we institutionalize through curricular foundation.
Where. A discipline has places where it conducts its activities like institutes, university departments, laboratories, conferences and academies. Humanities computing has long had a special relationship with the computing laboratory as it has, in many universities, grown out of service units that maintained such facilities for faculties of humanities. We also, of course, claim a special relationship with the non-site or virtual site of the Web.
In sum, one could say a discipline is a loose family of people who tend to gather in certain places to discuss certain things in certain ways and who perpetuate that discussion through mechanisms. We are defined by our journals, our conferences, our membership in societies, our speech, what we do, and where we do it. Of all these characteristics, many of which are shared by interdisciplinary fields, that which distinguishes a discipline is the control over the means of educational reproduction. A field becomes a discipline when it develops ways to control its reproduction, specifically (and typically in Western universities) through educational programmes. And that is what is happening to us now, we have seen the first undergraduate and graduate programmes created by members of the field to train future practioners.
Another way of telling this story is that while most of us wandered into humanities computing, learning on our own, without the support of courses or programmes (and proud of this self-sufficiency), we are now about to see the first graduates consciously trained in the field. They have been trained through apprenticeships at research institutes like IATH and MITH and now are getting degrees in the field. And that is a difference that makes a discipline. We are about to see practitioners formally trained also in humanities computing rather than trained soley in other disciplines as we were. Ironically, in making a discipline in our image through formal curricula we are engendering practitioners that may close the discipline to those like us who took the self-study road. Therein lies a rupture.
A review of the models for HC instruction illustrates the change in how humanities computing is starting to discipline students. It explains the importance given here to the development of university programmes.
Skills Training Model. First there is the skills model where computing is introduced within existing university disciplines in the form of research methods and career skills. Alternatively it is introduced in colleges as professional skills programmes. In this model HC courses or modules supplement other courses or disciplines and focus on computer skills applicable to humanities practices including research practices. In Canada we have an entrenched division between the college system that teaches professional skills and trades, and the university system.[10] Many Canadian colleges like Sheridan College and the Vancouver Film School have mounted excellent certificate and diploma programmes in new media. The well-known Sheridan programme in Computer Animation is, in fact, a post-graduate diploma which means typically only students with a B.A. are accepted.[11]
Enrichment Model. The second model is to offer courses as enrichment to existing disciplines. This is the approach of those institutions that have added HC courses to the electives available to humanities and arts students. At McMaster, for example, three courses were introduced in 1994 that were open to all arts and humanities students, Introduction to Computing in the Humanities, Electronic Texts, and Multimedia in the Humanities. Other universities have introduced similar electives for arts and humanities students.
Somewhere between the enrichment model and the next model, are minor programmes like the King's College, London minor programme in »Humanities with Applied Computing.«[12] The McMaster University Combined Honours in Multimedia and Another Subject programme was similarly designed to combine with existing Humanities and Social Science programmes.[13] The McMaster programme is not a minor, but it can only be taken in conjunction with another programme as a double major, so there is the assumption that it enriches existing disciplines. To a certain extent this is also the model behind the University of Alberta new M.A. in Humanities Computing and the M.A. just starting at King's both of which are designed to work with existing graduate programs.[14]
Disciplinary Programme. The third model is to teach HC as a discipline with its own history, canon, and research agenda independently of other programmes. The Multimedia Combined Honours at McMaster is part way there, but a better example is the Georgia Institute of Technology M.S. in Information Design and Technology.[15]
Written into many of these programmes is a modesty or caution as to their disciplinary rights. It is typical of the transition between the predisciplinary phase of a field and the field's coming out as a full fledged discipline that it is cautious about claims for its education. For political reasons and for theoretical reasons they hold on to connections with the existing disciplines and claim to be contributing new methods, enrichment and professionally valuable skills. At McMaster, for example, we would not have been able to introduce a stand-alone honours programme at a time when chairs in Humanities were concerned about losing students and therefore losing funding for renewal. A combined honours was a way of mitigating the rupture. While the designers of other programmes may genuinely want to keep HC as subservient (in an enriching way) to the disciplines we came from, the inevitable pull of disciplinarity along with the ongoing institutional tensions around students will force programmes to become increasingly independent. The disciplines we came from will not appreciate our interdisciplinary gestures when it comes to funding and students. They will rightly point out that such programmes control their own resources, credentials, and curricula, which is structural independence, not the sign of interdisciplinarity.
[T]hat alone is liberal knowledge, which stands on its own pretensions, which is independent of sequel, expects no complement, refuses to be informed (as it is called) by any end, or absorbed into any art, in order duly to present itself to our contemplation.[16]
The heart of the matter, at least in the world of English speaking universities, is a deeply ingrained belief in the superior value of the liberal arts over the ›servile‹ and professional arts. This model found in the Yale Report is more famously articulated in John Newman's The Idea of a University. A ›liberal‹ education focuses on the disciplines which have only their own development as an end, especially the humanities, theology and the classics, while the professional or service arts have external ends, for example the preparation of trained professionals or the training of methods for other liberal disciplines. Andrew Mactavish in his doctoral thesis traces this unexamined hierarchy of value closely. It affects multimedia education in pernicious ways. The obvious way this value affects us is the way computer training becomes a site of conflict between HC and other humanities disciplines within institutions. To justify HC programmes that include significant training we are tempted to present ourselves as servile, providing enrichment programmes that service the liberal ones. This hides one of the innovative contributions of HC, namely its challenge to the distinction between liberal education and skills training. We are in a unique position to break with the artificial division of skills and liberal knowledge and develop a model similar to the fine arts where there is room for craft in a discipline.
Another way the value put on knowledge for its own sake affects us is that it forces us into unnecessary contortions of self-legitimization. In order to justify teaching computing within a hierarchy of value that is dated and dubious (and manipulated by other disciplines) we are tempted to twist ourselves into a liberal art, though what that art is, once purified of computing, is more or less nothing. The alternative to servility is to cleanse ourselves of any hint of training in order to not look like applied computer science without the science. Not much remains after this exercise except traditional specialties like the history and philosophy of computing. Imagine if you will, an HC programme that produced students who, because training was exiled, couldn't actually do anything on the computer, who couldn't edit an electronic text or create a Web site. The absurdity of the situation is that, of course we have to do training, but we are shackled to a philosophy of education that is deprecates it and splits it from the important stuff. The doing of humanities computing is inextricably linked to the craft and our traditions of creation. That is what we should celebrate and teach in a disciplined fashion. The struggle to define this hybrid craft of computing and the humanities may lead, in the short term, to a rupture with the ethereal privilege of the pure humanities, but in the long term it will contribute to the breadth and health of the humanities.
The Italian philosopher Giambattista Vico in his New Science writes about the birth of institutions and notes that the founding of an institution involves a rupture with or crime against the surrounding thicket of institutions. The founding of institutions, in his mythical reconstruction of a general model, happens when they take control over the means of reproduction and begin to bury their dead. This theme is picked up, though without reference to Vico, in Jacques Derrida's lecture at the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of Columbia's Graduate School in 1980. In a lecture published in Logomachia as Mochlos; or, The Conflict of the Faculties Derrida returns to Kant's The Conflict of the Faculties to reflect on the founding of institutions, the conflict between pure and applied disciplines and the best lever (mochlos) or means for refounding. Derrida rightly points out that a new institution with new laws cannot be founded within the laws of existing institutions. The founding is a rupture with existing institutions and their regulations that can, at best, be leveraged off the existing. The same applies to disciplines as institutions. It is also worth noting that the rupture that creates an institution is rarely tolerated by that institution once firmly established. Nations that secede from others rarely tolerate secession within their borders. Derrida ends the lecture, after mentioning the late hour, with quotes from Kant on the leverage of stepping first with the left foot, the philosophical foot, before leaping with the right foot of the applied faculties.
If I am right that we are at such a point of rupture where we are becoming a discipline through the taking control of curriculum, then we should also ask about the rupture and think about the best lever or mechanism for shifting the humanities. I conclude with these reflections.
1. Typically departments mediate between disciplines and universities. Departments are part of the university administrative structure while being organized along disciplinary lines and providing a context for disciplinary realities. Whether humanities computing is a discipline or not,issues around departmental affiliation will and have arisen. If HC programmes are to remain interdisciplinary we might ask; where should they be put and how do you guarantee that they are managed following best practices in our field? Are the tensions between HC and, for example, English such that we will be forced to lobby for our own departments in order to have the freedom to manage our field and teaching?
One of the ironies of the movement to create programmes that reproduce practitioners, mentioned above, is that those of us leading this did not take that route. In order to create well trained computing humanists we are creating institutions that didn't exist during the predisciplinary phase of the field that defined most of us. The stories of the lonely struggle to master computing in antagonistic traditional departments are important to us, but they are going to become stories of the »bad old days« that are treasured into nostalgia. The issue is not only whether there was something important to that struggle, but whether we will close the door to the likes of us by the development of credentials and a bureaucracy of disciplinary control. This is the danger of disciplinary professionalism – a danger to consider when a movement for recognition changes into a discipline of regulation.[17]
Further, the sense of struggle regarding existing institutions can end up being used to legitimize inappropriate disciplinary imperialism in the future. Revolutionaries are rarely tolerant once in office and as we build institutions we have to be careful that we don't become as intolerant as those who obstructed our initiatives. A sense of being oppressed by the traditional disciplines could easily be used to legitimize intolerance. If we are to discipline our speech let us be careful about a discourse of aggrievement. From the perspective of some disciplines we have fared well when it comes to grant funding and new initiatives. It is doubtful we could mount a credible argument that humanists who incorporate computing in their practices are discriminated against now.
Trying to hide the rupture and pretend we really are only serving the traditional disciplines also has its dangers. While tactically prudent it distorts what we might do by imposing external values especially in the difficult area of computing craft and its place in the curriculum. Rather let us be swift and confident that we have something of value to do and be frank about the need for disciplinary independence to do it. No one will notice anyway, and should they notice, they will not be surprised. After all, HC isn't the only discipline emerging; specialization, disciplinary fission and the fusion of new disciplines from old ones is the pattern of postwar higher education.[18]
The site of the rupture is around the curriculum and specifically the place of training in the curriculum. We cannot leave that issue to others, be they inherited philosophies of liberal education, or other disciplinary institutions. Whatever the solution it must come from within the field through experimentation and discussion. Whatever else we do and whatever we are, this curricular experiment will be part of the definition of the field. Weaving craft seriously into a humanities programme is the lever or means for the leap. Skills, after all, are about means and leverage. Working this out as a discipline may be how we can truly serve the arts and humanities.
There is unwillingness in polite company to discuss the feudal realities of academic administration and institution building, yet we cannot avoid such a discussion if we care to know about ourselves in our (inter)disciplinary roles.
I conclude therefore with a quote from the opening of Derrida's founding lecture, inspired no doubt by Socrates.
If we could say we (but have I not already said it?), we might perhaps ask ourselves: where are we? And who are we in the university where apparently we are? What do we represent? Whom do we represent? Are we responsible? [...]. The university, what an idea![19]

The chief of the Houston PD's Criminal Intelligence Division fights to uncover the corruption that threatens his whole department. The story is superbly written and exquisitely paced. From the first sentence, suspense builds ever so slowly. Dick Hill's reading is admirably suited to the text. His masterful characterizations are subtle and precisely appropriate. His voice becomes the intangible, but defining, boundary of this beautifully wrought and menacing world. His cool, calm and certain narration advances the story with delicious suspense. Soon listener and protagonist alike are ready to howl at the darkness for release. This is mystery writing and telling at its finest. M.F.P. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: NOV 95]

You seem to be from another country than Sweden. Do you want to browse the site in English?
Different destinations offer all sorts of things to see or experience, and there's always a place to eat or take a picnic. Below are some tips on places to visit in Uppsala municipality.
A trip to the Fjällnora Recreation Area is an ideal excursion for nature-lovers. Here you try climbing along the high ropes course, go for a swim, or rent a boat, kayak, or canoe. During the wintertime, you can rent snowshoes or cross-country skis. Take along a picnic, grill at the provided barbecue sites, or visit Fjällnora's café for a light lunch and refreshments. There are also animals that children of all ages can pet.
At the Fullerö Hills Nature Reserve, you can enjoy the picturesque surroundings, the plains of the Uppland region, and the Fyrisån (the Fyris River) that flows by the park. Nearby is Fullerö Handel, a store that offers a wide assortment of furniture, interior design and Swedish ceramics. When you're done with your shopping, you can enjoy a coffee break or other refreshments, either inside at Café Villan or outside in the charming garden.
Gamla Uppsala (Old Uppsala) is one of the most important ancient sites in the Nordic region, and is a popular trip destination. Here you can walk along the fabled Royal Mounds, check out the beautiful church, or visit the Gamla Uppsala Museum. Near the burial mounds is the Disagården open-air museum, where you can get a glimpse of how people in the countryside lived during the 1800s. Be sure to visit Odinsborg for a snack or an afternoon coffee break!
Out in the Hammarskog Recreation Area you'll find open fields, oak groves, dense forests, and sparkling waters. Stroll along one of the hiking trails, go fishing, or visit the bird-watching tower to observe the bird life. In winter you can go sledding, cross-country skiing and ice skating. Take a break from your activities and grab a seat at the Hammarskog manor house for something tasty to eat or drink.
Take a day trip to Linnaeus' Hammarby and experience one of Sweden's most authentically preserved 18th century gardens. Here you will find Carolus Linnaeus' summer residence, with plants once cultivated by the so-called "Prince of Botanists." Café Sara Lisa is open throughout the tourist season, making it easy to enjoy a coffee or snack while taking in the sights of this culture reserve and its beautiful nature trails.
Linnés Kammare (Unfortunately the site currently exists only in Swedish) is located in the barn of the 19th century-era Wallhof manor house. Here you'll find an art gallery featuring different exhibitions, as well as a café with coffee and refreshments. Be sure to visit the store, which sells handmade items such as wool blankets, silver jewelry, fluffy woven rugs, and clothing - all made by local artisans.
Come and experience the farmhouse that Carolus Linnaeus purchased in 1758. It was to this country retreat that Linnaeus would escape to live the "simple life." Without the distractions of family obligations, he could work on his theories and write new treatises. Today the estate features a rustic farmhouse café, a museum where you can learn more about Linnaeus' scientific work as a physician, and chickens and lambs to amuse the kids.
Lyssnaängen is a picturesque spot on the shores of Lake Ekoln with beautiful panoramic views of the water. Here you'll find a large swimming area with a kiosk, public toilets, and spots for grilling. Take a walk on the trails that run along the shore where you can gaze out at the boats gliding past. Lyssnaängen is also a popular place to go ice skating in the wintertime.
Experience what travelling was like back in the early 1900s! Travel by steam locomotive, old-fashioned railcar, or vintage bus along one of Sweden's most beautiful railroads, the Lenakatten vintage railway. Amongst other attractions along the route, you can stop at the Jernvägscaféet (the Railroad Café) in Marielund or the August Värdshus pub in Almunge to grab a tasty bite to eat. A favorite with the kids!
The Sunnersta Recreation Area offers hiking trails, lighted paths for nocturnal treks, and mountain bike routes. In the winter there are also slopes for sledding and skiing, complete with a ski lift. Bring your own provisions and cook in the fire pits that are located throughout the park, or warm up at Sunnerstastugan. The area is beautifully situated along the Fyris River.
8 kilometers north of Uppsala is the Ulva Kvarn handicrafts village, known for its beautiful natural surroundings. The village features all sorts of shops, cafés, handicraft studios, and silversmiths. You can even attend a glassblowing workshop at Glashyttan Ulven. There are also events throughout the year, including the autumn and winter markets, handicrafts fairs, and vintage car conventions.

He's one of the best football players in the NFL and also one of the most controversial. Terrell Owens grew up in Alex City and before you say I've seen him on TV and I think he's a jerk, or he's self centered, listen to what folks have to say who knew him when he was just a kid.
"He was always courteous and had that smile, the one you see when he's in a good mood," said former Radney Elementary School principal and current mayor Barbara Young. Young says little T.O. was a model student but sometimes she gets frustrated with the big T.O. "I'm disappointed, in Alex City we don't promote our boys to be hot dogs, I talked with him one time when he came home and he said Mrs. Young I'm just having fun."
Owens' former 8th grade teacher still follows her former student closely and she's still a big fan. "The main thing about Terrell, whatever he was doing he wanted to do the best he could," said Gayle Humphrey. And Mrs. Humphrey knows her football. "If you throw the ball anywhere near him I'll catch it, he has long arms, big hands, I yell throw him the ball, I catch myself saying that."
And when T.O. came out with his new book, Mrs. Humphrey was mentioned in the first chapter. She was touched to read what her former student and now NFL star had to say. "He talks about how I encourage him and he paid me the biggest compliment by saying I'm the first person outside his family he trusted," said Humphrey.
So you may have your opinions about TO, but now you at least have some more information to go on. And while his former teachers still support him, their quick to point out, he will always be their student and if he steps out of line, watch out. "I've got my paddle in my office and I'll use it on any of mine I've had through the years," said Young.
