Smallville: Season 5 (US - DVD R1)
Gabe Powers is stuck in Kansas with Superman, Lex Luthor, and Lois Lane...
I don't want to complain. This reviewing thing is a great gig, really. The only time it sucks is when you get an unexpected package in the mail with a DVD you didn't ask for and don't want to watch in it. The only thing worse is when you get a package with six DVDs, 925 minutes of entertainment you don't want to watch. But you soldier through it, in hopes of that day the unexpected package contains that super-special DVD you didn't even know was about to be released. Hey, it can happen.
I have no interest in Smallville. I've caught five or six minutes of it here and there flipping through channels, and it looked like the average WB station teen melodrama, staring impossibly pretty people. This doesn't mean I don't appreciate the concept, which is comic book related entertainment for 12-25 year old girls. With the advent of Smallville comes the advent of comic book geeks watching primetime television with their girlfriends.
Something really bad happened to DC Comics entertainment in 1995, and its name was Joel Schumacher. Though the general public didn't seem to notice how brutally awful Batman Forever was, they caught on two years later when Batman and Robin didn't only ruin DC's future in comic book films, but almost ruined the chance of any comic material finding a home on the big screen. DC pulled back, and decided to focus a little more on the small screen.
They continued their incredibly well made Batman and Superman cartoons, and gave Bruce Timm, Dan Riba, and company near carte blanche with their new Justice League series. In the realms of live action they made two attempts on the new Warner Brothers owned TV station (that I can remember), Birds of Prey and Smallville. Both series gained a cult following, but it was Smallville that ultimately won mainstream acceptance. I never watched either series, and made some assumptions based on the channel's other popular material.
I don't know much about Smallville's mythology, all four previous seasons of it, but I do know Superman. I can see that the series has made the characters of Clark Kent and Lex Luther its own. I'm slightly shocked to say that I actually found myself enjoying the series greater arc, and all the fun (sometimes disguised) character cameos—geeks will notice Brainiac, Metallo, and of course Zod and Aqua Man. No sign of Mr. Mxyzptlk, and I'm sure they're saving Dark Seid for the series finale. All this re-appropriated comic stuff is great; it's all the little in-betweens that didn't work for me.
The first disc of the DVD seems to have done its best to catch me up to speed on the series. The 'previously on Smallville' blurb was a nice touch, but made absolutely no sense. It was all sound and fury signifying nothing to this series virgin. It's OK though, it only took me about four episodes to figure out who was who, which is impressive in itself. I learned quickly which characters were good, and who had what motivations. It did help to have a basic understanding of adult Superman though.
The show's problem is the same problem I have with most popular TV; it's determined to stretch eight episodes worth of good material into a whole season. I care about Clark telling people about his powers, fighting Kryptonians, and learning to hate Lex Luthor. I don't care about all the other namby pamby super villains and psychos, or the Nancy Drewish adventures of Chloe Sullivan and Lois Lane. The show's great without all the vampire episodes, or Stir of Echoes and Saw rip-offs. Seriously, a Saw inspired episode of a show about the teenage origins of Superman? Give me a break.
If I find season five a bit repetitive, I can only imagine how repetitive the series as a whole must be. What I can't imagine is finding seasons earlier seasons interesting at all. Minus these comic continuity inspired revelations, a show about high school aged Clark Kent fighting other high schoolers doesn't sound very intriguing. I have to admit that this serial writing style is relevant to the Silver Age comics the series tends to emulate, so some slack must be cut.
As a non-fan, that the best reason to watch the show is Michael Rosenbaum as Lex Luthor. He's the best actor and very easily the most interesting character. The other leads, and the majority of the supporting cast, are all very good (and big credit to Superman himself, Tom Welling, for competently directing a pivotal episode), but Rosenbaum really stands ahead of the pack. The Christmas episode actually chocked me up a bit because I'd actually developed a bit of an emotional attachment to the character (pretty good for a show I was not at all interested in liking). Good guys becoming bad guys are always interesting because villains are always more interesting than heroes. Rosenbaum can also be heard voicing the Flash on the vastly superior Justice League.
The special effects and general theatrical feel of the series impressed me a lot. This isn't anything like the low budget exploits of The Incredible Hulk I remember growing up with. The directors involved have a nice habit of keeping the camera moving fluidly, and when action kicks in, it's almost always Hollywood tier. It always ends too quickly, but it looks nice. The production values are huge, and had these DVD sets not sold as well as I'm led to believe they have, we may've had a very different season five on our hands, one where Clark and Luthor talk about their problems on a tweed couch on an empty sound stage.
The series big folly comes with its 100th episode, when the producers look like they're willing to make the ultimate sacrifice in killing an important character, only to pull the same stunt Superman: The Movie pulled to undo the entire revelation. They try to make it up to us by killing the one character any basic Superman fan should already know was entirely expendable from the first episode. This is the kind of gutless writing is what made me stop reading comic books regularly when I was about sixteen. Had the 100th episode been the season finale, this review may've read differently though, because the following episodes were some of the strongest in the set.
I suppose if I had watched the show from the beginning I might've cared a little more about Clark's relationship with Lana Lang, but I found myself wanting them to break up so I could escape all the lovely dovey angst, and get back to the hateful brewing angst between Clark and Luthor. As an outsider, I see this as two shows that don't ever quite gel, the super hero myth, and the tear-jerking soap opera. One of these shows worked for me, and one did not. Can you guess which is which?
I've got to give the show huge credit for actually and blatantly addressing Clark's fear of bedroom antics. Anyone who's seen Kevin Smith's Mallrats will understand immediately the problem of a super-powered Kryptonian having sex with a mere mortal girl, and though obviously funny, the producers really stuck their necks out on this one.
Part of Smallville's appeal is its larger than television look. Quite often an episode will look like a medium budgeted Hollywood effort, and the anamorphic, 1.78:1 widescreen scope helps. The transfer is overall very impressive, but does have a few minor blemishes. The series has been printed in HD since season two, according to imdb.com, and has to be downgraded for standard DVD release. The compression process seems to have created some slight digital blocking and low-level noise, which is a problem I've seen in HD to DVD transfers before. As stated, these blemishes are minor, and for the most part the series is breathtakingly sharp and colourful.
It's too bad that Warner Bros. hasn't mixed these episodes into a 5.1 mix, because the scope dictates it. The sound here is of a Hollywood mainstream level, and though the Dolby Surround track gets the job done, it still sounds like television. I can't find any mistakes or flaws in the soundtrack beyond this general feeling of smallness. The score is huge, full-on theatrical, and attentive viewers will notice a few homages to John Williams' original Superman score, not to mention a nod to Danny Elfman's original Batman score on the episode featuring the very Batman-esque character, the Angel of Vengeance.
The theme song and use of Top 40 radio music at vital moments is really obnoxious, and it cheapens the entire show. I find it yucky, from a very personal place.
The sets extras are par for the course when it comes to seasonal television box sets. They include a featurette, a few commentaries, some deleted scenes, some 'webisodes', and an excerpt from Bryan Singer's Superman documentary.
The better of the two commentaries is on the silly vampire episode Thirst. The folks involved decided to ad a commentary to this particular episode because they basically wanted to apologize for it. Self deprecation always scores big with me personally when it comes to wealthy creative types. They also do a great job of making fun of some of the series more repetitive aspects (like people constantly storming in on Lex in his study). The other commentary track is on a better episode, Splinter, and isn't as much fun because of it.
The deleted scenes are the most impressive feature. There are a lot of them, and for the most part they've been fully produced. Their deletion is, as per the norm, with good cause, but few of them are entirely dispensable. The webisodes are kind of like promotional deleted scenes that were part of the WB's website. Fans could watch this little side story featuring the newly introduced Angel of Vengeance (who's basically Batgirl, as mentioned in the audio section) telling her story to new reporter Chloe, and included some snippets from the series itself. This little adventure isn't up to the normal production levels of the show, and probably won't play into the continuity at all, but was entertaining.
The 100th episode featurette is a very boring, fly on the wall genesis of the 'shocking' episode. Fans and industry insiders may be enthralled by these shaky-cam talking heads, but I was not. The following excerpts from Look, Up in the Sky! The Amazing Story of Superman are little more than an elongated ad for the new documentary. Unfortunately, they really do their job, and I really want to see the doc now. Those crafty, dirty, commercially minded DVD producers...
I almost, almost did the impossible and was this close to giving Smallville: Season Five a 7 out of 10, but it had too many down episodes for me to go through with it. Instead it gets a hard earned 6 out of 10, and considering my complete disinterest on the outset, I'd say that's some huge praise. Fans will most likely already own this, but non-fans may want to give a glance, or at least not judge too soon. The show hinges on some fine performances, a nice look, and an exciting greater series arc. It was only the side tracked episodes that turned me off. The DVD looks and sounds as good as could be expected, and the extras are a decent addition.
I don't know if I'll make an attempt to catch the upcoming season six, but I admit that the cliff hanger ending left me curious. Maybe I'll just wait a year when the DVD release inevitably finds its way into my mailbox, entirely unannounced.

First Post! Well, yes, I'm going to defend Smallville not only because I love the Superman mythology, but because it is one of the most entertaining sci-fi shows in the air. I gotta grant you that the season 3 quality hasn't been reached again, but season five has begining to have a more sentimental feel to it, specially after the 100th episode. Of course, we do need 5.1 mixes and better features, but for me it is enough. I still don't like Lana, and I didn't like that you know ho died, but I think it was necessary for the story to progress. The best of the show? I like the relationship (or lack of) between Lex and Clark. This is my favorite show along with the great Nip/Tuck and The Office. The best of the mythos is yet to come.
Well Gabe, you *did* say in the summary you were stuck with SUPERMAN, Lex Luthor and Lois...
Because he never puts one on, or are you being silly?
How come you have written a review spanning nearly 1000 minutes of footage and not included one pic of Superman in his costume prancing around?
Not a fan of this show but I wouldn't mind having my way with Tom. Rawr!
As this show got older, it became extremely boring very quickly....
Saw the awesome season 6 premiere. It was pretty sweet! But if I see Lana getting knocked unconcious just before seeing Clark do something superpower-y one more time i'm gonna hurl. She absolutely NEEDS to know Clark's secret this season, she knows about half the stuff that's going out.. she CAN take it! But yeah I enjoyed Season 5 even though there's alot of filler episodes, the actual 'story arc' episodes make up for all the semi c**ppy ones.
I think this a ridiculous but thoroughly entertaining show. I always watch it.
Interesting to read the review from a non-fan viewpoint.

I missed most of the 5th season. So I will need to buy this set one of these days. The 6th season premiere wasn't bad at all (but I wished it was a two parter instead).
I bought this. I love the show. Sure, the freak-of-the-week episodes get old, but I like the show. I thought this season was the best.
I've actually resisted this show from the beginning, only to catch it when a friend of mine was watching it. That particular episode got me interested so I started watching it and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it too! It is true that there will be some filler episodes that bog the series down, and the ongoing lovey dovey spat that has become really, really tiring now. But, the strongest point of the series is the Clark/Lex storyline that makes it worth sitting through for me. I also hoped they'd kill off Lana because she's just so f***ing annoying now! This is a guitly pleasure in my library.
"Smallville" started out fairly entertaining, despite the "freak of the week" repetitiveness...
But now it's easily one of the worst hours of television out there. Godawful tv, on a weekly basis, lacking all the fun and slight intelligence it once had.

I was intrigued as a comic geek for a while, but the one offing...it has never stopped. Most of these shows learn their lesson a season or two in and start making complex arcs...but not smallville. Insert kryptonite affecting someone in some way evvvvvvvery single episode. It gets so unbelievably boring...and then you notice how they conveniently forget things that happened the last episode. One example that I couldn't help but balk at was a character "growing out of" a previous trait and disassembling the associated physical representation (I'm trying to be vague if anyone doesn't know about this)...next episode it(the physical form) is right there again and the character is back at it.
They also dragged the Lana/Clark thing FAR, FAR, FAR too long. It took four friggin seasons to get anywhere. That is ABSURD.
This show is just so poorly written but has so much promise and decent actors (and a couple quite good ones)..but they just seem intent on wasting all of it.
This is the season that broke me.
Once the "Asian horror" episode started, I turned it off and haven't turned the show on again since.

I watch it with the Mrs and it's not bad. I really hate Lana though. Someone needs to tell her to stop whispering all the bloody time. gets right on my nerves. They killed off the fittest girl in it, which was Clerks ex, Alicia. Played by Sarah Carter, who's a real trouser-tightener.

I agree about the random, one-off episodes. I started watching Smallville again at Season 5, as I was put off the whole series with Season 1's "freak-of-the-week" storytelling approach. This season had a good overall story, but the one-off episodes let it down from being really good as a whole.

For Release: Friday, August 10, 2012
Emerald Ash Borer Found for the First Time in a New York State-Owned Campground
Discovery Part of New York State's EAB Early Detection Program
An Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) infestation was found in the Catskill Forest Preserve at a state-owned campground, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner Joe Martens announced today. The discovery was confirmed after a DEC employee recovered a single EAB beetle from a purple prism trap that was placed in DEC's Kenneth L. Wilson campground in the Town of Woodstock, Ulster County.
"Because of the close proximity to known infested areas, campers should not bring untreated firewood to any of the Catskill campgrounds," said Commissioner Martens. "Untreated ash firewood that is brought into these campgrounds from as little as five miles away can greatly accelerate the spread of this insect and the death of the cherished ash trees that exist in the Catskill Preserve. Heat-treated firewood is the only firewood that is safe to transport because the heat eliminates any pests living inside the wood."
After EAB was first discovered in Ulster County near Kingston in 2010, state and federal agencies initiated an EAB quarantine, which restricts the movement of ash products and firewood out of the quarantined area. Although this infestation exists within the quarantined county, this detection lies about four miles west of the previously defined area of infestation. With this being the first time EAB has been found in a DEC campground, it highlights the threat EAB poses to New York campgrounds and the Catskill Forest Preserve.
The EAB is a small but destructive beetle that infests and kills North American ash tree species, including green, white, black, and blue ash. DEC adopted a strategy, Slow Ash Mortality (SLAM), to slow the spread of EAB within the state and its devastating economic and environmental impacts. SLAM encompasses a variety of approaches to address EAB infestations including removing infested trees, defining and monitoring infestation boundaries more precisely and researching insecticides and organisms that kill pests. The purple detection trap that was placed in Kenneth L. Wilson campground is part of DEC's ongoing SLAM initiative which enables DEC to detect new EAB infestations in high risk locations, such as campgrounds.
At this time, DEC is implementing a response plan to best manage this detection and its impacts at the campground and in nearby areas. The immediate plan has several elements, including inventorying all ash trees in this campground and nearby DEC campgrounds, assessing the health of these ash trees and conducting a thorough visual inspection for potential EAB infestation.
Once this information is gathered, dying or hazardous ash trees will be removed from high use areas such as campsites, roads and paths, which is consistent with DEC's protocol to continuously identify and remove hazard trees. In addition, similar to the SLAM activities that are already being conducted in other areas of infestation, DEC may create sinks by girdling select ash trees that lay outside high use areas of the campground. By girdling trees, which strips away a section of the bark, the tree will become more attractive to the beetle and make them easier to detect and can also control them from spreading outward to new areas.
Damage from EAB is caused by the larvae, which feed in tunnels just below the ash tree's bark. The tunnels disrupt water and nutrient transport, causing branches and eventually the entire tree to die. Adult beetles leave distinctive D-shaped exit holes in the outer bark of the branches and the trunk. Other signs of infestation include tree canopy dieback, yellowing and extensive sprouting from the roots and trunk. Infested trees may also exhibit woodpecker damage from larvae extraction.
The first detection of EAB in New York was in the town of Randolph, Cattaraugus County, in June 2009. Since then, infestations were later discovered in seven other counties in Western New York and five in the Hudson Valley. Nineteen counties in New York are under state and federal EAB quarantines.
Since it was first discovered in Michigan in 2002, EAB has been responsible for the destruction of 70 million trees in the United States. New York has more than 900 million ash trees, representing about seven percent of all trees in the state, and all are at risk from EAB.
Communities face particular risks as ash is a common street and park tree. Green ash, in particular, has been widely planted as an ornamental tree in yards. Recent research papers have reported that the potential costs to municipalities from EAB could exceed $12 billion over the next 10 years. Efforts like DEC's SLAM initiative can significantly delay the loss of ash trees and the subsequent costs to communities for their removal and replacement.
In 2008, New York adopted regulations that ban untreated firewood from entering the state and restricts intrastate movement of untreated firewood to no more than a 50-mile radius from its source. This was done as a precaution against the introduction and spread of EAB and other invasive species because of the documented risk of transmission by moving firewood. After more than three years of outreach and education efforts about the risks of moving firewood and the state's regulation, DEC is increasing its enforcement efforts to prevent the movement of untreated firewood into and around New York.
DEC urges residents to watch for signs of infestation in ash trees. To learn more about EAB and the firewood regulations, or to report suspected EAB damage, call DEC's EAB hotline at 1-866-640-0652 or submit an EAB report on DEC's website.

There's a reason you'll find celebrities like Brad Pitt, Jay-Z, Rihanna and Ryan Gosling rocking Carrera sunglasses — these shades are designed for exceptional people. Wilhelm Anger named the company after the Carrera Panamericana, widely considered the most dangerous race on the planet because he wanted his brand to always be on the edge, always pushing the boundaries of fashion and technology. First, that meant crafting ski racing goggles using patented Optyl, a material that was lighter, more durable and more adaptive to the wearer's face than anything the world had ever seen. Then Carrera took that passion for innovation and translated it into the world of designer prescription sunglasses, creating specs that live at the intersection of form and function.
Picking the perfect frame is easy with our quick sorting tool; just filter your results by material, gender, style, color and shape. Once you've got your ideal frame, pick single vision or progressive and then choose from a range of options, including lens material, tinting and polarization to customize your new shades.

The European Commission is launching a new Award designed to celebrate and promote best practices for nature conservation in Europe. The European Natura 2000 Award aims at bringing the success of the network to the public's attention and to demonstrate its importance for protecting biodiversity across Europe.
The 2013 Flash Eurobarometer survey revealed that only 27% of the respondents have ever heard of the Natura 2000 network, and that 44% know what the term "biodiversity" means. On the other hand, Europeans feel strongly about nature conservation and 97% agree that halting biodiversity loss is a moral obligation.
The Award, which will be an annual event, is open to any entity involved in the implementation of activities related to the management of Natura 2000 sites. Authorities, businesses, land owners, NGOs, educational institutions and individuals from the 28 EU Member States are all eligible to apply for one of the five categories of the award: conservation, socio-economic benefits, communication, reconciling interests/perceptions, and networking and cross-border cooperation.
The Call for applications has been launched on 16 December, with a deadline for the submission of applications on 18 February 2014. The winners will be announced at a high level ceremony in Brussels in May 2014, where they will receive a trophy, along with a symbolic prize of € 2,000 to help support future conservation efforts. This will be followed by local events in the winners' countries organised with the support of the European Commission. More information is available on the Award website.

Why learn about the Holocaust in schools?
Why should an African or a Chinese child study the Holocaust? What relevance does it have in places with no historical connection with the genocide of the Jewish people?
It is increasingly accepted that the Holocaust has become a global point of reference for mass violence. It presents particular challenges in education, especially in regions where the genocide did not take place. Professor Yehuda Bauer, a global authority on the history of the Holocaust, states: "Whether you live in Central Africa, in China, in the South Pacific, or in Switzerland, you have to be aware of the danger that genocide presents. Education about the Holocaust ultimately means to remove humanity as far away as possible from that extreme form of mass murder."
Learning about this universal history can engage students in a critical reflection about the shared heritage of humanity, the roots of genocide, and the necessity to nurture peace and human rights to prevent such atrocities in the future.
To mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day (27 January 2013), UNESCO has published a new brochure, "Why teach about the Holocaust?" which provides an overview of Holocaust education. The brochure explains that the Holocaust was a defining historical moment; that genocide is not inevitable; that states and citizens have responsibilities; that silence contributes to oppression and that prejudice and racism have roots. In addition, it explores the challenges and opportunities of teaching about the Holocaust and provides educational resources on the Holocaust and other genocides.
How do schools worldwide handle the Holocaust as a subject? In what areas of the world does the Holocaust form part of classroom teaching? Answers to these questions will be provided in late 2013 by a project conducted by UNESCO and the Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research. For the first time it will be possible to compare representations of the Holocaust in school textbooks and national curricula.
Holocaust Education exemplifies UNESCO's vision of education as the starting point for building peace and nurturing the principles of dignity, equality and mutual respect of all men and women.

Dorset County Museum wins £10.3 million Heritage Lottery Funding
Dorset County Museum has received initial support from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) for an exciting new Collections Discovery Centre project, it was announced today. The main aims of the project are to provide a new state of the art learning centre, better archive and storage facilities and better public access to displays of the Museum's vast collection.
This will be achieved through the sensitive yet contemporary redevelopment of the current building, which will transform Dorset County Museum's facilities and double its visitor numbers. There will be new gallery spaces, an area for researchers to work and open workshop spaces so the public can see for themselves the fascinating inner workings of the museum. There will also be a new shop and tearoom, accessible from the street. The award of initial stage one funding of £483,900 will enable a detailed two year development plan to take place ahead of final submission to the HLF in May 2017. This would enable building work to start in 2017 and the Collections Discovery Centre to be opened to the public by 2020.
The Museum is housed in the centre of Dorchester in a beautiful high Victorian gothic building of architectural importance which will be carefully preserved during the works. The 1883 Crickmay Building which housed the Museum originally along with the stunning Victorian Hall will be conserved, and John White's historic sixteenth century rectory will be sensitively restored.
More than 45,000 people visit the Museum every year, along with 5,000 local school children. It is anticipated that the new Collections Discovery Centre will become a focal point for locals and visitors to Dorset alike, attracting twice as many visitors in the years to come.
Jon Murden, Director of Dorset County Museum said "This is a brilliant and exciting opportunity for Dorset. For the first time we will have the space to do justice to our amazing collections, whilst ensuring they are safely preserved for future generations to enjoy. We would like to thank all of the organisations and individuals who have supported us with this bid. In particular we would like to thank, Arts Council England, Wessex Museums Partnership, Dorset County Council, West Dorset District Council and Dorchester Town Council."
Dr Peter Down, Chairman of the Dorset Natural History and Archaeological Society continued "We are delighted that the Heritage Lottery Fund has recognised the importance of the Dorset County Museum to the people of Dorset, and also recognises our commitment to learning with the new education centre. This very generous grant will allow us to increase the small number of staff, and give space to the many volunteers on which the museum relies heavily. As the County Museum, we can now look forward to working even more closely with our partner museums and other conservation Trusts within the whole of Dorset."
The Lord Fellowes of West Stafford, Patron of the Dorset County Museum Development Appeal, added "This project will enable the Museum to bring world class exhibitions to the local area, and develop its role as a cultural and community hub for a range of events and activities. By 2020, while retaining and respecting its Victorian roots, the Museum will have been completely transformed into a modern, sustainable heritage service that serves twice as many visitors, making an even more significant contribution to the local economy."
Explaining the importance of the HLF support Nerys Watts, Head of HLF South West said "From the spectacular Weymouth Bay pliosaur to the largest Thomas Hardy collection in the world, the collections at Dorset County Museum provide an unrivalled picture of 185 million years of our area's heritage. We're thrilled to support these plans which will transform the museum, preserve their incredible collections and finally enable visitors to get a true insight into Dorset's past. We look forward to seeing the plans develop."
Cllr Peter Wharf, the Dorset County Council's representative on the museum's board, said: "This is really excellent news for Dorset. The museum is a real asset for residents and visitors alike and the county council has worked closely with them to help bring in this significant injection of funds which will benefit so many people. I look forward to being involved in this exciting project to develop a first class facility."
Robin Potter, Mayor of Dorchester says "On behalf of the Town Council and the people of the town can I express our absolute delight at the success of the Museum's lottery bid. The project will not only allow the Museum to provide a fitting home for the storage, interpretation and research into Dorset's fascinating history; it will also become the essential cornerstone that the town's Tourism sector has been looking for to stimulate significantly increased interest in visiting Dorchester to explore the town's rich cultural heritage, creating more jobs and a more diverse local economy. The Town Council is keen now to do its part in helping Dorset County Museum raise the remaining, but not inconsiderable, £3 Million needed to make the scheme a reality."
Phil Gibby, Area Director, South West, Arts Council England, said: 'This is terrific news – we are delighted that Dorset County Museum has been successful in its application to the Heritage Lottery Fund. We've been supporting the museum to develop the skills and capacity they need to become more resilient and our investment has helped them plan a sustainable future with vision and confidence. Now we're looking forward to working with staff and stakeholders as they deliver this exciting project.'

Board of Higher Education Directs UND to Begin Retiring Nickname and Logo
BISMARCK, N.D. - The State Board of Higher Education yesterday directed the University of North Dakota to begin the process of retiring the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo unless the Standing Rock Sioux and Spirit Lake Sioux tribal councils give namesake approval by Oct. 1, 2009.
The board's unanimous vote to approve a resolution dealing with the Fighting Sioux nickname and logo took place during a regularly scheduled SBHE meeting at Dickinson State University, Dickinson, N.D.
"The board believes this change is in the best interest of the university, its students and members of the extended UND community," said Richie Smith, SBHE president. "Resolution of this issue is distracting from the important work of the university in serving its students and the state of North Dakota.
"The Fighting Sioux logo and nickname have been symbols of pride for many generations, but it is time to move forward," Smith said. "The State Board of Higher Education remains steadfast in its commitment to maintaining academic excellence in a welcoming and supportive learning environment for all students at the University of North Dakota, as well as its 10 sister institutions."
The resolution approved by the SBHE on May 14, 2009, follows.
Consistent with the terms and conditions of the October 26, 2007, Settlement Agreement entered into with the NCAA, the Board directs UND officials to retire the "Sioux" nickname and logo, effective October 1, 2009. Full retirement of the nickname and logo shall be completed no later than August 1, 2010. In the event a new nickname and logo are adopted by UND, they shall not violate the NCAA policy regarding Native American nicknames, mascots and imagery.
UND is further directed to undertake actions consistent with the Settlement Agreement to protect its intellectual property rights in the "Fighting Sioux" nickname and mark.
UND is further directed to address the imagery at Ralph Engelstad Arena and other venues pursuant to the terms, conditions and timelines set forth in the Settlement Agreement.
This directive shall be suspended, if, prior to October 1, 2009, the following should happen:
The Standing Rock Sioux tribe and the Spirit Lake Sioux tribe give namesake approval consistent with the terms of the Settlement Agreement; and
The namesake approval be binding upon the tribes for a period not less than thirty (30) years.

SPRFMO Outcomes: Jack Mackerel catch risks for wider. Ecosystem issues parked.
"Jack Mackerel Fish stocks and their associated ecosystems are still at risk according to environmentalist, at the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management meeting which finishes in Auckland today', says Mauricio Galvez, Regional Fishery Officer at WWF Chile.
"Bottom fishing impacts and aspects of the protection of the marine environment of the South Pacific were parked for later consideration. The meeting failed to establish adequate catch limits to enable Jack mackerel fish stock to recover to sustainable levels."
" Some progress was made establishing the building blocks of the Organisation. The permissive catch limits on the catch and fishing effort of the once enormous stock of Jack mackerel in the South Eastern Pacific disappointed those with environmental concerns, says Galvez
"The EU proposed a catch limit of 300,000 tonnes. Under pressure from fishing interests, the total catch of Jack Mackerel allowed was set at 438,000 tonnes, a level condemned as far too high by those looking for a good chance of rebuilding the stock to the levels agreed by the scientific community, said Mauricio Galvez, of WWF Chile who attended the meeting. They allowed a total of 360,000 tonnes to be taken in the high seas and in the Chilean EEZ, with the rest to be taken in the Peruvian and Ecuadorian Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs)".
The week-long meeting was dominated by recriminations for previous overfishing and by wrangling on what the catch limits should be for Jack mackerel and how the total catch limit should be shared between countries, said Galvez. "In the past, countries have allowed too much fishing, and have been unable to prevent vessels to overshoot even these high limits".
"On the positive side, the newly established organisation managed to put in place the basics for its operation, such as rules of procedure, a much haggled over budget and an agreement for the Secretariat to be based in New Zealand," says Cath Wallace of the Environment and Conservation Organisations of NZ.
"The Russians refused to agree to the budget and wanted to leverage a higher level of catch allocation. They claimed higher catches in the past but the meeting regarded these claims sceptically because the Russians failed to provide evidence of the claimed fishing.
"On substantive issues, they agreed to a list of vessels that could be authorised to fish in the huge South Pacific area, and to measures to control illegal vessels and fishing. They also put in place rules for data and reporting and other fundamental requirements, including a set of priorities for the Scientific Committee's work," said Wallace.
Mauricio Galvez said " one of the most relevant tasks that the Commission gave the Scientific Committee is the analysis and recommendation of biologically-based fisheries management target reference points designed to provide the stock that would be most biologically productive (the Maximum Sustainable Yield). This makes the objective for the management of the Jack mackerel clear and, in the future, the Scientific Committee and Parties will have a clear yardstick to evaluate how well the stock is faring."
"The Jack Mackerel fishery was once a huge stock but in the run up to the formation of SPRFMO and more permanent fishing rules and allocations, vessels from around the world have hammered the stocks. Some countries allowed dozens of foreign vessels to sign up under their flags in the hope of setting up claims to future allocations of fishing rights. Some country "representatives" in the meetings have essentially also been "flags of convenience" with fishing interests thinly disguised as national representatives of small states, and other fishing industry representatives heavily lobbying diplomats and sitting at their elbows," said Wallace.
"The question of new rules for the deep water bottom fishing was parked, with New Zealand promising to develop draft rules during 2013 for later consideration. New Zealand vessels do more than 90% of the bottom trawling in the South Pacific. There are interim measures for protection of Vulnerable Marine Ecosystems, but these have yet to be converted into more permanent rules" said Wallace.
Karen Baird of Birdlife International noted that ways to reduce bycatch of seabirds, marine mammals and turtles will be considered at the first meeting of the Scientific Committee when it meets later this year. Requirements to report these catches have been incorporated into data collection rules. "It is imperative that this information is collected and then reported to enable scientists to adequately analyse risks to seabirds in these fisheries.", said Baird. "No data on bycatch has so far been provided, and it is essential, not only for good management , but also for truly incorporating the Ecosystem Approach to fisheries management".
Environmental organistions urged governments to reduce the catch limits substantially in 2014, and to move discussions on to the controls of impacts of fishing on the ecosystem and affected species.For background on the South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation and this meeting see www.southpacificrfmo.org.

We have ported 4.1 to Linux and it seems to work quite well but needs more testing. A couple of surprises also. Ubuntu has updated their audio and text-to-speech abilities and now both work in Bible Analyzer. The audio uses gstreamer. One must download the "gstreamer-plugins-bad" plugin to play the midi hymns. Haven't Tested mp3s yet.
The primary module folder has been changed. All the official modules are again in /usr/share/bibleanalyzer/modules instead of the /home/.bibleanalyzer folder. Instead of having a hidden user folder we placed a /BibleAnalyzer folder under the User/Documents folder. This is where user made modules will be placed (not tested yet) and where the user, layout, and configuration files are stored. This should be better for everyone. Now the user folder can be easily found while the official modules are safe deep in the usr folder.
All the v4 features seem to work, even the word-cloud popups and the AV-Strong Index. Try it out and let us know what happens.
Here is the deb,
Here is a bz2 of the clouds,
The module can be placed under the user folder (mentioned above) or the /usr/share/bibleanalyzer/modules folder

I'm an 80's child. I grew up loving the hard groove and smooth electronic sounds of the Brit funk movement and the pumping synth filled, slap and pop bass sounds of late 70's American jazz funk movement. Player's such as Mark King, Stanley Clarke, Louis Johnson and Larry Graham. This is a groovy retro inspired nostalgic slap bass nod to that era and those players and styles. With an infectious groove this piece is dominated by a thunderous bass sound over laid back subtle drums and synth sounds. The chorus has a neat simple rock guitar melody that lifts the piece over intricate, interesting bass riffs. My thumb hurts… Enjoy!

Welcome to Ironworks Speed & Kustom
At Ironworks Speed & Kustom LLC we strive to build the best cars and parts possible.
We are known for the high end fabrication we have done on many automotive projects.
This led us to start-up a product line that provides product solutions that we incorporate into our daily projects in the shop.
On our website you will find pictures of our current and completed projects that we have had the honor of working on. Thanks for stopping by.
At Ironworks we can build your project from mild to wild. We have done everything from setting up a chassis with new suspension and drivetrain to installing C-6 Corvette transaxles. We are known for incorporating modern suspension and drivetrain into an older car to create the look of an old car and yet the driveablity of a new car.
This 1946 Packard project was brought to us to put in custom front and rear suspension with a modern LS engine. This car has air conditioning, power seats, 3 point seat belts, 350hp, overdrive transmission, seating for 5 large adults, and gets 23mpg at 80 mph.
Yet it looks like it's right out of 1946 with the radial white wall tires and Packard wire wheels.
Here is an engine compartment for a 1966 Nova we designed and built a few years ago. The car had a tube chassis with a procharged LS engine.
As you can see the engine compartment was tight due to the ride height of the car. It required quite a bit of work to build a stout chassis that would clear all of the accessories in the engine compartment and still have that visual appeal.
We were able to combine form and function into one element to make it strong and yet appealing to the eye.

|Brief description
This two-year project seeks to develop and implement a sustainable business focused model for digital preservation, as part of a knowledge management agenda in higher education institutions. It will develop a model of the relationships, roles and responsibilities, costs, benefits and risks inherent in institutional digital preservation and implement this model by selling it to all the stakeholder groups, including senior management, administrative and clerical staff and academic teachers and researchers. In particular, this project seeks to identify the cost and benefits to the institution of developing a coherent, managed and sustainable approach to the preservation of its digital assets in a way that is transparent to all stakeholders.

The overall purpose of the EThOSnet project is to build a strong EThOS (Electronic Theses Online Service) sponsorship network amongst the HE community and to achieve a high level of technological and organisational sustainability for a successful move from prototype to 'live' service. Objectives: Extend the EThOS partnership and encourage 'early adopters' - this will require stepping up the advocacy campaign initiated by the EThOS project and putting in place a highly visible 'sign-up' process with a view to achieving a sufficient level of buy-in to ensure future viability; Increase the number of e-theses already available in the EThOS prototype, thus enhancing UK repository content by significantly increasing its critical mass and extending its scope to material that is currently poorly represented in digital repositories; Enhance the procedural infrastructure and upgrade the EThOS Toolkit accordingly with a view to improving institutional workflows in close partnership with registry and academic staff and to addressing the HE community's concerns, identified by the independent evaluation, regarding the management of third-party rights and the detection of plagiarism; Scale up the EThOS technological infrastructure for the move from prototype to 'live' status; Monitor and test relevant technology trends in order to identify those technologies which EThOS may be able to adopt in the future to improve further the management of e-theses and consolidate the embedding of the service within institutional practices.

This project is part of the Enhancing JISC data services for Teaching and Learning project cluster in this particular programme. Projects in this cluster are aimed at improving access to and accessibility of JISC resources in support of learning and teaching. Facilitating Access to Information on Learning Technology for Engineers FAILTE will address the first question that many Engineering academics ask when they investigate using computer-based learning resources for courses they teach, namely: What is available that is suitable for this subject at this level? FAILTE is a partnership between the Institute for Computer-Based Learning and the Library at Heriot-Watt University and the faculty of Engineering at Loughborough University. The partners bring to the project relevant experiences in the fields of Web-based resource discovery, learning and teaching and evaluation of computer-based learning materials as applied to Engineering and experience from the following initiatives: EEVL: The Guide to Engineering, Mathematics and Computing information on the Internet, EEVL is part of the JISC-funded Resource Discovery Network which aims to provide access to high quality Internet resources EASEIT-Eng : Evaluative and Advisory Support to Encourage Innovative Teaching in Engineering LTSN Engineering: The Learning and Teaching Support Network subject centre for Engineering Aims and Objectives FAILTE is working to: Provide Engineering lecturers with a resource (database and related services) that will allow them to identify computer-based materials suitable for their courses Provide access to independently produced reviews and other information to help them choose the most suitable of these materials Allow access to the materials themselves or the Web page of the provider of that resource. This will be offered as a fully integrated part of EEVL and LTSN Engineering. Project start date: 2000-08-01. Project end date: 2002-01-01.

Through a number of previous workshops with the language teachers community of practice we have noted two important lessons: 1. The community is eager to share their resources and wants a lightweight repository that they can incorporate into everyday practice. 2. Practitioners are enthusiastic about sharing learning assets: simple resources such as videos, audio files and presentations. There is a real need for a straightforward usable repository that fulfils these requirements in order to begin to explore the difficult issues concerning authorship, provenance, authority and copyright in the context of a real system with real users. Aims and objectives: - To build on our existing engagement with the languages community to provide the type of lightweight community repositories that they are asking for, and bootstrap their individual use of repositories for exchanging learning assets. We will: - Deploy a lightweight repository early in the project lifetime and engage directly with the community throughout the project to encourage the sharing of assets; - Develop official plug-ins for ePrints to enable Web 2.0 functions such as tagging and virtual structures - Provide a number of bootstrap activities to support the community in identifying, uploading and describing their learning assets.

geospatial application profile
Within the Discovery to Delivery area of the Repositories and Preservation Programme the Intute Repositories Search Project was funded to create a search service for content held within UK repositories and to examine the issues that surround retrieval. The first iteration of this service is basic, and focuses on ePrints (scholarly works) only. A Dublin Core Application Profile for Scholarly Works was funded to provide consistency of search. This work was undertaken by Julie Allinson (UKOLN) and Andy Powell (Eduserv Foundation). Application profiles for images, time based media and Geospatial are also being developed. Further iterations of the Repositories Search service will need to include other media types such as images moving pictures and sound, geo-spatial data etc. This project will scope what is required in the area of Geospatial Data. The project will need to build consensus in this area, to agree (with the community) an optimum solution, and to develop an application profile with the associated guidelines. The project will also need to develop a community acceptance plan for continued take up of the deliverables. Please note that it is recognised that an application profile has already been devised for the geospatial community (AGMAP) however what is required for this piece of work is a Dublin Core 'light' for geospatial data purely for high level data discovery purpose to be used by non-specialists. GI professionals will be strongly encouraged to use the AGMAP profile or the ISO 19115 standards of which AGMAP is a profile. Project start date: 2008-02-01. Project end date: 2008-08-31.

The geoXwalk Gazetteer project was originally funded under the Infrastructure programme. The main aim was to develop a demonstrator gazetteer service for the purpose of enhancing geographic searching within the JISC Information Environment. The rationale behind the project is that there is currently no unified entry point to assist in geographic searching within the existing academic network as each information provider /service adopts different geographic coding conventions (some use postcodes, others place names, some grid references etc.) The final Phase V of the project will allow JISC to assess its readiness for transition to service.

GILEAD is a joint project between Information Systems Services (ISS), the University Library and the Faculty of Biological Sciences at the University of Leeds. The University is currently engaged in a major initiative which aims to provide simplified or single sign-on capability to a wide range of internal and external information systems. As part of this endeavour the University aims to transition away from a number of existing access management solutions. The University resolved 18 months ago to rationalise the number of directory services on campus and has now adopted Microsoft's Active Directory (AD) as an institution-wide LDAP service. For the first time we now have a directory which contains all students and staff and AD is now being used to authenticate access to a wide range of both Microsoft and non-Microsoft systems. The University's aim is to reduce the number of username & password databases it has to populate and manage and the adoption of Shibboleth has been identified as an important component in our drive to simplify access to a number of commonly used teaching and research-orientated resources. The main objectives of the proposed project are to: as a prototype, use Guanxi derived Shibboleth Origins to test federation arrangements between Leeds and Manchester Universities; modify a number of existing resources to act as Shibboleth Targets; as the ultimate goal, move to using a University of Leeds institutional Shibboleth Origin, testing this with different attribute sources. The project will run from March 2005 - March 2006. It is anticipated that the main objectives of authenticating access to our VLE via our Shibboleth Origin and use of the Athens-Shibboleth Gateway Service will be operational in time for the start of the 2005/06 academic year.

The Greater Manchester Strategic Alliance (GMSA) is a partnership of universities, colleges, work based learning providers and other stakeholders that delivers a Lifelong Learning Network (LLN) and promotes the progression of vocational learners into Higher Education. In support of this delivery, the GMSA runs two overarching projects that depend critically on course information; ModCAT providing modular learning options that can be combined into higher awards and the Vocational Course Catalogue (VCC), a larger collection of part-time vocational Higher Education courses in Greater Manchester. In order to create catalogues of courses the GMSA wants to adopt a course description standard - to enable interoperability across the partnership and within its own systems. The GMSA needs to investigate and evaluate the technical implications of delivering such a standard to further the ModCAT and VCC projects, and also present an environment to practically demonstrate the value added from standardising, sharing and aggregating course information. As well as benefiting the GMSA partnership, outcomes from the project are also intended to be fed back into the XCRI project and community as a whole. By using technology to collect, transform, aggregate and display course information, the project will demonstrate how the administrative processes associated with learning and teaching can be supported and improved, and what new opportunities may be exploited as a result. Aims and Objectives To examine the technical and procedural factors of utilising a course description specification in support of the GMSA overarching projects, ModCAT and Vocational Course Catalogue. Investigation of existing course storage methods by consultant visit; Raising CourseExchange software to XCRI-CAP 1.1 compliance; Development of process model for course information submission for each institution; Deployment of CourseExchange software; As many course descriptions as possible from each institution mapped to the XCRI-CAP 1.1 standard, using CourseExchange software; Aggregation of course descriptions from each institution; Publication of combined course descriptions at a public URL; Identifying and drawing conclusions from events and issues at each stage; Using knowledge learned to successfully deliver ModCAT and VCC and refine XCRI-CAP 1.1.

The GNU Project is a free software, mass collaboration project, announced on September 27, 1983, by Richard Stallman at MIT. It initiated GNU operating system development in January, 1984. The founding goal of the project was, in the words of its initial announcement, to develop "a sufficient body of free software [...] to get along without any software that is not free." To make this happen, the GNU Project began working on an operating system called GNU ("GNU" is a recursive acronym that stands for "GNU's Not Unix"). This goal of making a free software operating system was achieved in 1992 when the last gap in the GNU system, a kernel, was filled by the third-party Linux kernel being released as Free Software, under version 2 of the GNU GPL. Current work of the GNU Project includes software development, awareness building, political campaigning and sharing of the new material.

grade project
Conventional scientific method has historically been data-driven and with current technologies the wealth of created data assets has grown dramatically. Despite this importance, however, sharing data is not easy and many researchers have discussed the problems, including: the willingness to share, locating data, mechanisms for sharing and accessing data. Given these problems, the scoping of a Geospatial Repository for Academic Deposit and Extraction (GRADE) seems both necessary and timely. GRADE will investigate and report on the technical and cultural issues around the reuse of geospatial data within the JISC IE in the context of media-centric, informal and institutional repositories. The aim of GRADE is to lay the foundations for a sustainable infrastructure (both cultural and technical) that underwrites the communities' substantial and ongoing investment in the utilisation of geospatial resources within the learning, teaching and research environments of UK academia.

The HaIRST project conducted research into the design, implementation and deployment of a pilot service for UK-wide access of autonomously created institutional resources in Scotland, the aim being to investigate and advise on some of the technical, cultural, and organisational requirements associated with the deposit, disclosure, and discovery of institutional resources in the JISC Information Environment (IE). HaIRST tooka 'whole environment' approach to the issues addressed, encompassing the general areas mentioned above, together with associated specifics such as policies on IPR, preservation mechanisms, and similar. Technically, the HaIRST approach to interoperability primarily relied on harvesting for remote interaction and on the Open Archive Initiative protocol (OAI-PMH) as its standard interaction protocol.

harvesting the fitzwilliam
Since 1997 the Fitzwilliam Museum has been working to create, and provide access to, a unified electronic database of object records and images for the collections in the care of its five curatorial departments: antiquities, applied arts; coins and medals; illuminated and music; manuscripts, and rare printed books; paintings, drawings and prints. In 1999, the Museum received funding from Re:source (The Council for Museums, Archives and Libraries) for the retrospective accessioning of prints and coins and the creation of complete records for all paintings. By January 2001 nearly 56,000 records were held electronically, although not yet all on a single database. By January 2002, in excess of 60,000 records were held centrally on 'Adlib Museum' - the chosen software system for the Fitzwilliam Museum's unified object catalogue. Many of the 60,000 records have associated images. The Online Public Access Catalogue, which provides web based access to the Adlib catalogue, was made available via the Museum's website in February 2002. During 2001-2002, approximately 20,000 objects were packed for storage in preparation for a major building extension to the Museum during 2002-2003. Many digital photographs of decanted objects were taken during this period. In parallel to the documentation work described, the Museum is developing A Museum for All, an electronic public information resource offering enhanced interpretation of a selection of key objects. This project complements the Documentation and JISC-FAIR projects. It will offer the user additional information, providing context and creating links between a selection of 300 objects over time, by themes, iconography, artists, materials and methods. It will encourage exploration of the collections and offer education and enjoyment both remotely and within the Museum when the project is complete in 2004. The Joint Information Steering Committee's Focus on Access to Information Resources programme offers the opportunity to further enhance access to the Museum's electronic object catalogue. Metadata (information about data generally, and information about objects in the Museum context specifically) for 100,000 Museum objects will be made available for 'harvesting', by the Arts and Humanities Data Service (AHDS), through the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH). In addition, two specific databases - Corpus of Early Mediaeval Coins Finds (EMC) and Sylloge of Coins of the British Isles (SCBI) - will be made available for OAI harvesting by the Archaeology Data Service (ADS). The project, in line with the FAIR programmes objectives, will pilot and provide public access to information about selected Fitzwilliam Museum objects. This information will also be available in conjunction with other collections data held or harvested by the AHDS and ADS. Project start date: 2002-08-01. Project end date: 2004-07-31.
