Our impending move back to the States has me worried about transporting my collection of family history "stuff." Besides the worries of transporting boxes of paper records and notes, I worry about computer accidents and crashes. I don't trust the Cloud, yet I know that papers burn and get lost. Nothing makes a family historian so vulnerable as placing her life's work in another's hands. I want a thousand ways to back up my work!
I tend to get bored when the B word--backup--is mentioned. Luckily, my husband is obsessive about backing up computer files. While he was setting up my computers for the trip home, I began to drill him on his backup methods. Rather than repeat our conversation here, I will simply direct you to my "interview" with Doug that I posted today on my sister blog, Spilling the Family Beans:
Read it if you, too, are concerned with the preservation of your own genealogical research and records!

The probability of a white Christmas -- with snow at least an inch deep on Christmas Day -- is low for many areas of the United States, forecasters say.
While northern New England, the Upper Midwest, the Rocky Mountains and Intermountain West have a 75 percent of a white Christmas, New York City, Philadelphia and the District of Columbia have less than a 25 percent chance, AccuWeather.com Wednesday.
Regional differences in normal December snowfall and temperatures are both critical factors in what areas can expect a white Christmas, AccuWeather said.
"It tends to stay colder across the northern tier during the day and night, so when snow falls, it's less likely to melt," AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said.
Further south, temperatures play a more important part, forecasters said.
"By the time Christmas comes around, there is a pronounced temperature difference from north to south [across the Midwest]," AccuWeather meteorologist Jim Andrews said. "The 'refrigeration' needed to keep the snow from melting is less reliable in Chicago compared to somewhere like International Falls, Minn."

Granted, the producers overplay their hand, from the too-easy epiphanies that the wealthy participants achieve, to their Little Lord Fauntleroy wardrobes, to the persistent urgency and cloying sweetness of David Vanacore's music. In "Secret Millionaire's" world, the rich are benevolent if slightly detached and the poor are simply hard-luck cases helped by angels on Earth, without shades of gray.
The millionaires in the premiere were a father-son and husband-wife act — one dispatched to Imperial Beach, near California's southern border; the other to Buras, La., an area ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. They're forced to survive on $150 for a week (think Morgan Spurlock's "30 Days," divided by four), while deciding how to dole out at least $100,000 of their money to those whom they encounter. The unsuspecting are supposedly told the producers are shooting a documentary about poverty, which sounds suspect, but perhaps best not to over-think these things.
Mostly, the sob stories build toward the big "reveal," where the millionaires acknowledge they're not impoverished and hand out checks to the stunned and grateful people they've met, unleashing torrents of tears. (A disclaimer notes that "Contributions made on camera may not reflect the actual method of payment," which is sort of like those bowl-game sponsors posing with oversized checks.)
Typical of the genre, the producers essentially preview the entire series — to the point where you almost feel as if you could quit watching right there — during the first two minutes. Fox plans to air two episodes a week, Wednesday and Thursday, during this maiden run.
Unlike the old drama "The Millionaire," the series doesn't fret much about the next logical question, which is how or whether the money can alter lives. It's good enough for the show's purposes to see the affluent have their eyes pried open along with their wallets, before returning to their comfortable lives.
If that all seems a bit facile and glib, well, there are still worse things these guys could be doing with $100,000 — and certainly worse things that Fox has been and could be doing with a couple of hours of primetime.

Today's Meditation
Read Philippians 2:1-11
Adopt the attitude that was in Christ Jesus.
- Philippians 2:5 (CEB)
Doug, my four-year-old son, accompanied me to the communion rail. At the rail, we knelt together and opened our hands, preparing to be served. The pastor broke a piece from the loaf and placed it in Doug's hands. When he broke the bread for me, crumbs from the loaf fell to the floor. "You spilled it, Jesus," Doug whispered to the pastor. "I know," he replied. And he picked it up and continued to serve the rest of us, as Christ had served the disciples. Later, I asked the pastor, "Have you been called Jesus before?" "Yes," he replied, "several times, by little ones." Being mistaken for Christ seems unlikely. Yet shouldn't we want to live as Jesus did, so that others see him in the way we treat one another? Our call is to be like him, as much as we are able. I profess to be a Christian, but I don't always behave as one. When I'm unloving or judgmental, I'm not living as the gospel teaches. Participating in worship and assisting with various church projects helps me behave and feel like a Christian. But away from church, it's more difficult. I need reminders through daily scripture study or other spiritual reading. Each day, I pray that in my attitudes and behavior I will be more like Jesus. I want to be mistaken for Christ.

Thought for the Day: In what ways can I reflect Christ each day? Link2Life: Go to devotional.upperroom.org/blog to see a picture of Mary and her sons.
Prayer: Merciful God, help us to remember what Christ taught us and to follow his example. Help us to love one another as you love us. Amen.

No matter the season, classic muscle cars are always easy to fall in love with. With their high-horsepower engines, in-your-face styling and all-business demeanor, its no wonder these stalwarts of speed are a hit year round.
This October season, we've assembled a trio of four-wheeled bruisers, each hailing from the three brands of yesteryear Detroit lore and each sporting a paintjob drawn straight from the local pumpkin patch.
1970 Dodge Coronet R/T, Tim Kelly, Algonquin
Ask Tim Kelly what its like to slide behind the wheel of his 1970 Dodge Coronet R/T and the answer may be a bit frightening: "It's a crazy fast, white-knuckle ride!"
A power-modified 440-cubic-inch V-8 engine is the snarling heart and soul responsible for the wild nature of the Mopar classic. A six-pack multicarb setup, roller rocker arms, electric exhaust dumps and subframe connectors give this cruiser a bit more bite than your average stock example.
Tim found his Hemi Orange ride in Cedar Lake, Ind. "It needed new rear quarter panels, extensive bodywork and paint but it was a genuine Dodge muscle car and that's exactly what I wanted," the Algonquin resident said.
He set out to build a regular driver and that's what he ended up with, albeit packing a bit more punch. "When I purchased it, the engine needed to be rebuilt and I made sure to squeeze in some more horsepower."
After some wrenching, the engine's factory numbers of 375 were boosted to 450 -- just the right amount for getting to the area cruise nights in a hurry. Tim's also taken his R/T to shows, bringing home a class first-place finish at the 2012 Belvidere Mopar Happenings.
1969 Ford Mustang Boss 302, Patrick Mitchell, Elgin
Patrick Mitchell is a serious shopper. He originally tried to buy his 1969 Ford Boss 302 Mustang in the late 1970s but had to wait until 2002 to finally grasp the title.
"It sat one-half mile from my house with the engine blown and in pieces in the garage. The owner wouldn't take my offer," the Elgin resident said.
Adding insult to injury, a few weeks later Patrick saw the muscle machine sitting in a different friend's driveway. "My buddy already had a few Mustangs and was able to buy the Boss."
Patrick asked to keep him in mind should a sale arise. Eighteen long years later and he was the owner.
However, time hadn't been so kind to the vintage vehicle. It had been parked in damp storage, had a mismatched 302-cubic-inch V-8 from a Torino, rotting bodywork and mice in the headliner. A full restoration ensued and a decade later the Calypso Coral 'Stang emerged showroom fresh.
"The color just pops in the sun and really turns heads," he says.
Patrick's son Chad lent a hand with the rust repair and sheet-metal work while Jim Sheppard assisted with the engine overhaul.
"I've worked on cars my whole life but never a full restoration. There were many times I thought I was in over my head. Every time I walk in the garage and see it, I can't help but smile."
1972 Chevrolet Camaro SS, Rod Newberry, Hoffman Estates
The desire to own a street machine is strong. In fact, the initial order for Rod Newberry's 1972 Chevrolet Camaro SS came from overseas.
"A serviceman ordered the car through his military base's PX while stationed away on duty. The brand new car was waiting for him in New Jersey when he arrived back home," the Hoffman Estates resident said.
Years later, the Ontario Orange bow tie sportster spent some time in Arizona before landing in Roselle, where Rod made the purchase in 1997.
"Due to work constraints, I had quit racing cars. This Camaro was something to get me back into the hobby."
Seeing his brother use a 1970 Camaro in competition also provided motivation. "The goal from day one was to get quarter-mile times in the 12-second range," Rod said.
No easy feat considering the Super Sport classic demanded major work. The rear inner and outer fenders required replacement, leading to a frame-up restoration. For better straight-line performance, the original 350-cubic-inch V-8 was excised to make room for a GM-crate zz430 V-8.
Stopping duties fall on slotted and drilled front disc brakes while police-option finned drums are mounted in the rear. To prevent chassis flex, the subframe was welded together. Traction bars keep it planted during hard launches.
Now that the project is complete, Rod had his perfect track toy.
"The radio doesn't work but I don't miss it one bit. I prefer the sounds the car makes."

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
I always seem to get a question or two along the lines of "What's it like on a SQLCruise?" as I present at various conferences, SQL Saturdays, and user group meetings. Since we just finished up the 2013 Miami SQLCruise, I thought it'd be a good time to recap so that you can judge for yourself if you'd ever want to do it yourself. Personally, I think that Tim Ford (Twitter | Blog), together with his wife Amy, are doing better than ever in making the cruise both a top-quality learning experience and fantastic social experience. I've heard from many attendees that they learned enough in the first day or two to make the whole trip worthwhile and, keep in mind, some of these attendees paid for the trip out of their own pocket.
SQLCruise is, first and foremost, a training event. On each cruise, Tim usually pulls together four or five very well known experts in the industry who, in turn present several hours training. Each day the ship is at sea is a day spent in class. Example of the agenda is on the lower right. When the ship is in port, it's a day of activity and adventures. Tim spends quite a bit of time coordinating with the speakers so that the curriculum is both unique and well tailored to the students.
But each and every night, whether at sea or in port, is spent in 'office hours'. For many attendees, office hours are their favorite part of the learning experience. Since Tim caps registration at 15 students, that means the students get virtually unfettered access to the experts. If you've ever attended a conference, you've probably encountered that common scenario where the speakers are busy with presentations and, at the conclusion of their session, are mobbed by attendees with questions. They're lucky to get 3-4 minutes of the speaker's time. On the other hand, the students get hours and hours to talk about whatever is on their mind. And since we're on a cruise ship in the tropics, office hours usually look like the image at top right. It's both very relaxing and very educational.
Another aspect of the content on SQLCruise that makes it unique is the amount of time spent on personal and professional development. The majority of attendees are not newbies. They're mid-career professionals who are doing well and their career and want to take it to a higher level. But as we often find, our earlier years in IT are spent learning how to be really good at the technology part of our career. We like technology and, sensibly, it's the immediate problem we face in day-to-day productivity. But as the years progress and we earn a few promotions, we come to find that rising in the ranks means a lot of communication and, gasp, office politics. The speakers, in many cases, have careers the students would like to emulate. This is where SQLCruise really shines. Imagine being able to pick the brains of senior technologists and managers in a friendly and welcoming environment. How great is that? In fact, many SQLCruise attendees (I know of several from each cruise I have attended) have used the professional counseling they received on the cruise to enact an energetic new phase in their career with big pay raises, exciting new jobs, high-profile blogs, and all sorts of other really cool things like that.
You'll have to suffer through excursions like Trunk Bay on St. John's in the US Virgin Islands.
Now that I've told you about the grueling educational side of SQLCruise, did I mention that we do all of this ON A CRUISE SHIP IN THE CARIBBEAN?!? The cruise ships are, if you will, an enormous Vegas hotel on the water. There are casinos, a constant parade of entertainment, live music, comedy, pools and water slides, discos and dancing, live game shows - the works. Ask Neil Hambly (Twitter | Blog) about the dancing!
It's a great event and a great way to spend a week. I hope to see you at a future SQLCruise!

I ran into Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh yesterday at the Google Zeitgest conference in Arizona. We caught up briefly over ex-TechCruncher Paul Carr – Tony and I are both backing his new startup. Then he told me about another of his new projects – the launch of a private jet service under the Delivering Happiness brand.
A few weeks ago Hsieh led a $7 million investment round in a small private jet service called JetSuite.
It wasn't clear what, if anything, that investment had to do with Hsieh's larger plan: restoring and transforming part of downtown Las Vegas into a live/work/play paradise (Downtown Project) and turning happiness into a business model (and a way of life) (Delivering Happiness).
It turns out the investment is an important part of Delivering Happiness and Downtown Project. Hsieh, and Delivering Happiness CEO Jenn Lim (both pictured above), are launching the new Delivering Happiness travel experience service as part of the overall mission to create experiences, memories and stories. The jets will be branded Delivering Happiness (see picture), and they'll be operated by JetSuite (Hsieh is also a board member of JetSuite, as is David Neeleman, the founder of JetBlue).
The new service is actually part of a much bigger story that involves multiple entities – Zappos, Downtown Project (a company owned by Hsieh), Delivering Happiness (owned by Hsieh and Lim) and JetSuite (Hsieh is one of a few investors).
Downtown Project aims to reinvigorate downtown Las Vegas and make it into the most community focused large city in the world, where residents can live, work and play and everything is within walking distance. This is a grand vision, and involves dozens of small investments by Hsieh in micro entrepreneurs who want to start businesses in the area around Zappos' new headquarters in downtown Las Vegas. He's looking at 70 startups right now, many of them to be founded by current Zappos employees who can keep their day jobs while forming these new Downtown Project companies.
Delivering Happiness is starting multiple businesses around the science of happiness. "Not the kumbaya let's all get along type of happiness," Lim tells me, but the actual science of building sustained happiness for people that Hsieh outlined in his book of the same name.
One of the ways they plan to spread happiness in the world is through Delivering Happiness Experiences. That's where the jet experience comes in.
The Delivering Happiness jet will initially be part of an experience that takes people back and forth from San Francisco to Las Vegas. These experiences may also include door to door pickup in a restored classic Airstream RV (pictured below, pre-restoration) or a Delivering Happiness bus. And when you're in Las Vegas, you will have the option of staying at one of the condos leased by Hsieh at The Ogden.
If this all sounds confusing, it's because it's still a work in progress. But it's all definitely coming. People will be able to book flights on the jet and have an amazing experience in Las Vegas at prices more suited to the Southwest Airlines crowd – every day, Jetsuite offers special deals that can be booked for as little as $499 each way (for all four seats on the plane). In what might be the perk of the century, Zappos employees already get to fly free.
In fact, Hsieh and Lim repeatedly referred to the service as "the Southwest Airlines of private jets."
This is a much bigger story than a simple private jet service. There's a massive vision of rebuilding a big chunk of Las Vegas and turning it into the most fulfilling place to live and work in the world. And a separate but related vision of turning happiness in general into a real business and, as Lim believes, a movement. Hsieh and Lim haven't given many specific details to the world about these visions yet, but that's all changing soon.
Stay tuned. But at least one outsider, Paul Carr, has bought in to the vision. He's going to base his new startup in Las Vegas and immerse himself in the Downtown Project world.

The following are stories from this week's 5th International AIDS Society (IAS) Conference on HIV Pathogenesis, Treatment and Prevention meeting in Cape Town, South Africa:
SciDev.Net: Steven Reid of the Imperial College London spoke of three prototype tests he and his colleagues have been working on that would help to increase access to CD4 count measurements for HIV-positive patients in the developing world. The prototype tests -- which analyze "finger prick blood" -- would allow "patients to receive their results within about 20 minutes of testing, Reid said, and could be used by untrained technicians." The cost of the tests range from $2 - $7 (Mengo, 7/23).
AP/Yahoo! News: Michael Silverman, an infectious disease expert, presented HIV infection rate data in Zimbabwe, based on his survey of 18,746 pregnant women at a rural prenatal clinic from 2001 to 2008. He found the "prevalence of the virus that causes AIDS fell from 23 percent in 2001 to 11 percent at the end of 2008." The news service writes, "AIDS experts have long noted that the richest countries in Africa are also those with the highest infection rates," and "Silverman said he concluded that 'a lot of the effect (of the decline in HIV infections) is from the collapsing economy.'" He added, "You can't pay the sex worker if you have no currency. It's hard to have a concurrent relationship if you're always in earshot of your spouse, because you can't afford to travel." The article includes several refutations of Silverman's theory (Faul, 7/24).
KPBS.org: Examines South Africa's HIV vaccine trial -- a Phase I trial that will test the safety of the vaccine in humans -- one of "about 30 [other] HIV vaccines undergoing clinical trials" (Goldberg, 7/22).

Mullen recruited both UGA quarterbacks
Mississippi State's head football coach saw Georgia's starting quarterback as a high school freshman and thought then he would be a player he'd like to coach.
Saturday, he'll be in the position of trying to make sure Aaron Murray doesn't hinder his chances of getting a home win.
After his freshman season at Plant Senior High School in Tampa, Fla., Murray was named the most valuable player at the University of Florida quarterback camp where current Gators offensive coordinator Dan Mullen was a prime instructor.
"Aaron is a very talented quarterback…I've known him for quite a long time," Mullen said. "He's been through two springs, two fall camps and now is playing so he's a quality player."
Not soon after, the Florida program made a scholarship offer to the nation's third-best quarterback prospect in the 2009 class in the hope of getting him to stay in-state to play college football. Murray would eventually break the hearts of everyone in the Sunshine State by signing and enrolling early with the University of Georgia.
After going through this offseason where he was basically anointed the starter from the beginning, Murray's results in Georgia's pro-style offense have been a mixed bag as expected from such a young player. The redshirt freshman is currently averaging 200 yards per game through the air with four total touchdowns.
"I think that we just have to allow him to play ball and treat him more like a veteran," Georgia head coach Mark Richt said. "He's handled things pretty well, and I think he's prepared to run the system as we have it. I think we are ready to just let him play."
The problem for Murray this season has been the nine sacks the Georgia offensive line has allowed in the last two losses but Georgia offensive coordinator Mike Bobo had cause to believe his young signal caller is hanging on to the ball too long.
"Sometimes he likes to hold onto the ball a little bit. That's being young," Bobo, a former UGA quarterback, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I have to look at the tape. I don't think all of the sacks were on him, but he's got to get rid of the football."
This past offseason Mullen went looking for his quarterback for the future and thought he'd found him in Lassiter High School prospect Hudson Mason after he set the state passing record with 4,560 yards and 54 touchdowns while leading his team to a 13-1 record this past season, which helped generate a bevy of scholarship offers.
After Georgia initially told Mason they weren't recruiting a quarterback in the 2010 class, Mississippi State was waiting with willing arms.
However, Mullen struck out again on another recruit once his home state school changed its mind after reshuffling their upcoming roster Mason told the country three days before Christmas that he would be competing to be Georgia's backup job. After a solid spring and a consistent fall camp, Mason started the 2010 season behind Murray on the current depth chart.
In cleanup duty during Georgia's season-opening blowout of Louisiana-Lafayette, Mason's first action couldn't have been any better as the true freshman threw 26-yard touchdown to former quarterback turned wide receiver Logan Gray. According to the NCAA record book, Mason is only the second quarterback in Division I Football Bowl Subdivision to throw a touchdown pass in his first career snap.
"When I was walking down the Dawg Walk, I was like, 'Man this is what I've been waiting on for five years,'" Mason told the Macon Telegraph. "Those kids that are yelling out my name, that's who I was about five years ago. Just to be sitting in this locker room, letting alone throwing a touchdown in my first college play, it's kind of hard to grasp. It's so mind-boggling."
Mullen irritated at special teams mistake
It took him less than a minute to mention it during Saturday's postgame comments.
And then he mentioned it again and again then one final time to drive the point home.
Mullen wanted to make perfectly clear Sean Brauchle wasn't supposed to kick the ball out of bounds.
"I was feeling confident in myself to just pin it deep," Brauchle said. "We had the momentum going and I wanted to blast it to the end zone. I think I just I hung it up there way too high and it just carried like one foot out of bounds."
The key pivotal moment of this past weekend's 29-7 loss at LSU was the play that took no time off the clock that followed the Bulldogs only score of the evening. MSU had the momentum and felt the silence of 92,538 fans wondering if their team would blow a first-half lead.
"You go on the road, hard environment, fall down, hold them to four field goals – bend but didn't break," Mullen said after the game. "Defense was keeping us in it (and) scored right away to open the second half."
Mullen knew his team was close to potentially pulling off one of the biggest upsets of his short head-coaching career but what he didn't realize is on the sidelines he'd be closer to receiving the kickoff than any of the 22 players on the field.
"Our kicker walks out on the field and kicks it straight out of bounds," Mullen said. "Those are things that championship programs don't do. When they seize momentum, they don't just hand it over to the other team."
LSU started that possession near midfield and eventually scored its first touchdown of the game making it a 12-point deficit. When asked if that Tigers drive that served as an instant answer and a game-changing moment of the game, Mullen's quickly answered with a quip about how LSU got that field position in the first place.
"It certainly helped we kicked the ball out of bounds right there,' said MSU's second-year head coach. "To beat a great team, that can't happen."
Kickoff duty is something Mullen has been disappointed with each of the first three games this season but normally his gripe has been about Brauchle's lack of depth and airtime on his full power kicks. The problem Saturday night on this particular assignment was an intended pop-up kick that was supposed to land on the 25-yard-line giving Mississippi State's coverage team an opportunity to contain the Tigers return game.
"You practice it all week, practice it over and over, all preseason camp and it wasn't even close," Mullen said. "As soon as he hit it, it went out of bounds. That's not performing when your number is called like a lot of guys."

There is a saying that your audience will halve for every equation you put in a piece of writing. Well, in this case I am going to make an exception and go through the detailed derivation of the Breguet Range equation. The reason for doing this is that the maths is not very difficult but the implications of the equation are known to every pilot on earth and everyone interested in flight should know about it. Simply put, the Breguet range equation tells engineers how far and airplane can fly given a certain set of parameters, and therefore greatly influences the design of modern jet engines and airframes.
A central aspect of flying further for the same amount of fuel is maximising the lift to drag ratio of your wings and airframe. Optimising this ratio gives the maximum aircraft weight (=lift at steady horizontal flight) that can be kept in the air for a given amount of engine thrust (=drag at steady horizontal flight). However, this parameter is not the primary optimum for commercial flight. Instead one wants to fly the furthest possible distance with one fuel filling. Thus to achieve the maximum possible range the quantity to be optimised is the product of flight speed ( U ) with lift ( L ) to drag ( D ) ratio . For most long-haul journeys (~12 hours) the most time consuming part of the journey, and therefore most critical for fuel consumption is the cruise condition. During cruise conditions the band of altitudes that the airliner travels through does not vary greatly such that the local speed of sound where T is the local static temperature, does not vary greatly. Consequently optimising the Mach Number times the lift to drag ratio is virtually the same.
Figure 1 shows experimental data of this parameter versus the lift-coefficient for a Boeing 747-400 at 35,000 ft. At each Mach number L/D rises to a maximum until further increase in lift coefficient leads to stall of the aerofoil. At lower flight speeds the boundary layer separation will occur naturally towards the trailing edge but as we approach a flight speed of Mach 1 shock waves also come into play.The graph shows that for all cruise speeds the optimum value of occurs at a lift coefficient of about 0.5. The wing area S of an aeroplane is set largely by conditions at take-off and landing, such that it is hard to continually operate at a lift coefficient of 0.5 as the weight and therefore lift of the aeroplane decreases as fuel is burnt. To operate as close to optimum on can therefore decrease v , not very attractive, or decrease the density by flying at higher altitudes. Large airliners therefore typically start cruise at 31 000 ft or higher and then increase altitude in steps to fly at the optimum.

The Meso Infusion Lip Mask and Plumping Duo is a cutting edge lip treatment to boost natural lip volume. Utilising Mesotherapy – a popular procedure in Dr. Yannis' Harley Street clinic – the first step provides flawlessly volumised results, while the second is a luxuriously nourishing balm.
Step 1 – Plumping
A revolutionary plumping mask which combines powerful ingredients to provide a desired, youthful pout. A 'needle-free' collagen – Neodermyl – acts as a filler to redensify and help improve the elasticity of the skin, while Volulip improves lip shape by increasing volume for a fuller, rounded effect. Finally, a retinol-like ingredient, X Styenol, strengthens lip skin.
Step 2 – Repairing
Used directly after the plumping mask, this meso-infused nourishing balm heals the dry, easily-inflamed lip area, while absorbing quickly, leaving no slippery residue. A reparative combination of Hilurlip, Super Sterol Liquid and Bisabolol enriches, soothes, and protects; flakiness is diminished and lips are superbly soft.
Apply the Meso Infusion Lip mask first (white) to clean, dry lips and allow mask to penetrate. Follow with the Plumping Duo repair balm (pink) to seal moisture and protect.

Driving and music are natural companions, so it makes sense that apps powered by Waze and Spotify thatreflect navigating and listening would come together.
The partnership between Waze and Spotify allows users of either one to stay within a single app to access and control the functions of both.
The idea of embedding complementary functions from one app (or more) into another — think of airlines and hotel apps letting users access a ride-hailing service within their walled garden — is becoming more common.
Given challenge of maintaining app engagement is remains a

, sharing APIs makes a lot of sense for most brands that can promote useful and seamless accompaniment.
"No more awkward flipping back-and-forth between apps or ending your favorite Friday-in-traffic tune to find the quickest way to the grocery store," Waze says in a blog post touting the arrangement with Spotify.
The Spotify icon is visible on Waze (if Spotify is installed on the usersdevice, of course). One tap opens Spotify and the last song you listened to starts playing automatically, while the Waze navigation experience is uninterrupted.
For those who start their drive with the Spotify app, a banner at the top of streaming app's window will prompt users to "Start Waze Navigation" without having to exit from their playlist.
The combination also would seem to strengthen Waze's and Spotify's audience numbers. Spotify currently claims 100 million users (30 million of whom are paid subscribers, meaning that the rest are exposed to its audio ads). For its part, Waze has 70 million monthly global users.
Considering that
MESE London Lotus Flower Necklace Silver Infinity Purity amp; Harmony Pendant Elegant Gift Box ILD32v
are now listening on mobile — and that music streaming ad revenue is worth $1.5 billion and expected to hita reported $7 billion by 2030 — the alliance could also help drive ad revenue for both.
Waze and Spotify were unavailable to comment on whether they would actively collaborate on ad sales, but it stands to reason that anything that generates more time-spent will impress marketers who advertise either platform.
At the moment, the audience who can access the dual functions will be a bit limited, as the combination is only available on Google Android devices (Waze is owned by Google).

In Orberg's LLPSI Cap 37 scripsit:
Italiae incolae primi Aborigines fuerunt, quorum rex Saturnus tanta iustitia fuisse dicitur....
Orberg explains; tanta iustitia as the ablative of the feminine noun iustitia, -ae. He says 'tanta iustitia' = tan iustus esse.
OK so I understand what it means but what literally does it mean. Iustitia is a noun not an adjective... is this an ablative of means meaning something like '....whose king Saturnus is said to have [ruled] by or with justice.....'? with 'regno, regnare' simply implied.....?

PRIDE reissues long out-of-print cookbook in time for the holidays
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Punxsutawney's PRIDE has something to be proud of.
The non-profit organization is pleased to announce the reprinting of "Out of Our Kitchens," a cookbook, according to board member Shirley Sharp, prepared from the recipes of local cooks.
The 215-page Cookbook Publishers Inc. product — originally compiled and published by the 1981-82 members of the Punxsutawney Young Women's Club, which no longer exists — has been out of print for more than 20 years.
After receiving permission to reprint, PRIDE (Punxsutawney Revitalization: Investing, Developing, Enhancing) refreshed the community cookbook by including current pictures of local scenes — inserted to separate the sections — and formated the recipes in a larger, easier-to-read font.
The PRIDE reprint is divided into seven segments, including: "Appetizers, Pickles, Relishes;" "Soups, Salads, Vegetables;" "Main Dishes;" "Breads, Rolls, Pastry;" "Cakes, Cookies, Desserts;" "Candy, Jelly, Preserves;" and "Beverages and Miscellaneous."
From Carol Meneely's "Pineapple Snow Cake" to Pam Boyer's "Beef Biscuit Pie" and everything in between, the publication — which benefits the area, as all proceeds will be put toward downtown — offers readers, in addition to a helping of hometown spirit, a slice of Punxsutawney's past.
One, and in some cases two, generations of area residents have enjoyed food prepared using the recipes in the book, Sharp said.
"What's interesting is, the people who gave these recipes are now marrying off their daughters," she said. "These people cooked for their children and their children have these memories of this food."
PRIDE board member and former Punxsutawney Young Women's Club member Katie Laska recommended the reprinting project due to the number of requests she had received for the book.
"It is a great way to hand down old family recipes to a new generation of cooks," she said. "All of these women take pride in their recipes and are pleased to share them with their hometown."
The book is available at downtown merchants, including Fairlady & Company, the Chamber of Commerce, Catarina's, Roseman's Florist & Gifts and Lily's LLC.
The organization additionally offers shipping to out of town shoppers. For more information, call 938-2493.

bomber jacket: Pimkie - snake print skinnies: H&M - sneakers: Converse- t-shirt: Lady Gaga Born This Way Ball
pictures by Paulien
An ultra casual yet cute look today: what better outfit to wear during your recovery from all the holiday parties and eating? Super stretchy skinnies, sneakers, a loose fitting t-shirt and a bomber to pull it all together. I actually wore this to work a few weeks ago on one of those cold, grey days when you expect the rain to start coming down any minute.
I love the basic pieces of this outfit, especially the pants. I've worn these skinnies to death over the past years because they just fit better than basically any other pair of skinnies I've ever owned (except for my G-star jeggings because those were seriously handcrafted by angels).
Time to do some work related reading! Have a lovely night :)
PS I should really do a post to prepare myself for the upcoming sales. Nothing better to keep from spending money than having a clear list of items you'll be allowing into your closet. Do you have a sales wishlist yet?

Peek Inside.... And Predict! (Lesson 1 of 2)
Lesson 1 of 8
Objective: SWBAT use the story structure and illustrations to make a prediction and adjust that prediction with evidence from the story.
Big Idea: You see the illustrations; now add ideas that you know and read to verify your predictions!
- Amos and Boris by William Steig
- Knuffle Bunny Too by Mo Willems
- See-Know-Read worksheet** (revised)
- 'Peek Into Predicting' blank chart (see reflection)
- One file folder for each student or you can use large construction paper
- Lesson vocabulary words from the Reading/Writing word wall: predicting, illustration, characters, setting, events, beginning, end, literature
- set up the whiteboard
This is the first lesson in my predicting unit. My goals for these lessons is the kids learn to predict based on text evidence, rhythm, rhyme, foreshadowing, story structure, voice, and other text features. This is part one of a 2 part lesson where I use this 'peek and predict' strategy, encouraging kids to look at words and illustrations to make a good prediction. In my second lesson, Peek and Predict (Part 2 of 2) students practice this strategy a second time.
I chose these books because the are great reads. My kids LOVE the Knuffle Bunny series and almost all of them have read the first book. The Amos and Boris story is a classic and I love to have the kids read classics. So much literature feeds off the themes of these timeless series. These books were great for predicting because the illustrations really showed off the characters, settings and events. The endings were fairly predictable so the kids felt a sense of success when they were able to predict correctly. In Peek Into Predicting (Lesson 2 of 2), I will use this SEE/KNOW/READ strategy again and give students more autonomy identifying story structure and predicting.
Predicting is not listed specifically in the Common Core State Standards for reading as a discreet skill that students learn. However, my viewpoint is that predicting is a very important skill that can be addressed in a variety of ways through the objectives that the Standards can be broken into. For examples, you can predict using the structure of the text (RL.2.5) as I did in this lesson, or you can predict by looking at how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges (RL.2.3) or you can predict by asking and asking questions to demonstrate understanding of key details in the text (RL.2.1). Instead of just listing reading strategies, such as predicting, connecting, summarizing, the CCSS goes deeper. It asks students to use the text, illustrations, story element, structure, and other deeper comprehension skills and demonstrate these strategies.
** I revised this worksheet the 3rd time that I taught this lesson for several reasons. I wanted the the kids to write the title of the book at the top. I also wanted the columns wider to match some of my kids' writing abilities. Finally, I took off the 'prediction' at the bottom because I had them write it on the 'peek and predict' folder instead.

Get Excited!
Underlined words below are lesson vocabulary words that are emphasized and written on sentence strips for my Reading & Writing word wall. I pull off the words off the wall for each lesson, helping students understand this key 'reading and writing' vocabulary can be generalized across texts and topics. The focus on acquiring and using these words is part of a shift in the Common Core Standards towards building students' academic vocabulary. My words are color coded 'pink' for literature/'blue' for reading strategies/'orange' for informational text/'yellow' for writing/'green' for all other words.
Engage the students
- Bring out some books and be ready to demonstrate the 'peek and predict' strategy.
- "I brought some literature books today for you to look at. We're looking at a the illustrations, asking some questions and thinking about a few elements of the story structure to help us make a prediction."
- "I have a GREAT REALLY FUN way for us to make predictions about books..... we're going to....act this out…peek and preview." Take a look at my teacher demonstration of the 'peek and predict' strategy.
- 'I"m using this folder to 'peek and predict' what's happening in the story. When I just take a peek, it gives me enough information to predict what will happen, without reading it. Then I can read to see if my prediction is correct."
- "Once we talk about how to make some good predictions, you'll make your own 'peek inside and predict' folder! You can take it home and show your parents how to .... act this out one more time with the peeking into a book and slamming it shut.... 'peek inside and predict'!"

Teachers' Turn
Explain the task
- Refer to the See-Know-Read Chart as you do this.
- "Before I read a book, I like to preview the book to help me understand the book better. Lots of times I can get information just from the illustrations I SEE - the characters, settings, and events."
- "This information is usually in the beginning of the book and helps me preview the text to better interact with the story."
- "Then I can think about what I KNOW about these. Have I seen this character before? What was the setting and have I gone to a place like that? What happened to the character and has that happened to me before?"
- "When I'm done, I'm ready to make a prediction. It's a good prediction because it's based on what I've seen and what I know so far."
- "Finally, I'll READ about what happened in the story. I can check to see if my prediction was correct. At the end of the book, I can look see what happened and verify my prediction."
- "Let me try this SEE-KNOW-READ strategy with this book....Amos and Boris."
- "When I look at the beginning, I see...... in the first few pages ...characters such as a mouse, sun, whale.. and a setting, maybe the ocean long ago. The events I see are the mouse lays on the whale and the whale is in the middle of the ocean." Put those on the chart.
- "Now I there are also some things that I know about these characters and this setting -Boats can get holes, whales live in the middle of the ocean....." Add this info to the chart.
- "I'm going to predict that 'the whale will save Amos with his tail. He will rode on the whales back. Amos will save Boris. and People will help them'." Make sure its A LITTLE BIT WRONG so you can show them that sometimes our predictions are not accurate. Leave room to cross off ideas and add ideas. The kids need to see this example.
- "I'll use the worksheet to make an illustration of my prediction. I'll sketch my ideas, but I need to make sure I have the characters and setting in the illustration." Don't spend a lot of time on this – it's not the focus, but its good to follow up with an illustration that helps the kids put all the ideas together. The kids should not copy the pictures of the book though.
- Here's my illustration.
Guided practice
- "Now help me read and verify and check our predictions. I'll stop at the middle to check and then gain at the end of the story." Read to the middle and stop. Then read to the end of the story. "What did we read?" Take ideas.
- "Do I need to change anything? Yes, cross off 'with his tail' and change 'people to elephants'" Cross off and add for the kids so they can see how they should use the text to support and verify predictions.
- "Look, now my prediction matches what happened in the story. When I am able to learn from the story and change my predictions, I'm an 'active reader'." Here's my completed chart.
- "Now I can make a illustration of the end of the story that matches my prediction."
- "I'll put the picture of what happened at the end of the story on the outside of the file folder and my predicting worksheet on the inside to make my 'peek and predict' folder." Here's my completed project.
Encouraging students to cite evidence to ask and answer questions is an emphasis from the Common Core State Standards. In this lesson, I want them to make good predictions, using evidence from the text (the peeking). Using information gained form the illustrations and words in print to demonstrate understanding of characters, setting and plot helps them be better readers who interact with the text. (RL.2.7)
Resources (3)
Explain the task
- "Now its your turn to take a 'peek and predict' ! I brought a GREAT book that I think you'll really like - its called Knuffle Bunny Too."
- "We'll be predicting by using what you SEE, what you KNOW and what you READ."
In this lesson, I'm referring to the SEE KNOW READ chart that we will do again tomorrow in part 2. Today, I'm giving them more support with how to ask and answers questions. The Common Core emphasis on close reading and using questions with text dependent answers (RL.2.1) shifts the responsibility of reading comprehension more on students. I want them to not only think of the questions to help them focus their prediction, but also use evidence from the text (illustrations and words) to verify the answers.
Set up a prediction
- Pass out the worksheets - you'll be showing the book to the class as they form a prediction.
- "First, let's look at the illustrations and pages at the beginning of the book. What characters, setting, and events do you see? Write down ideas on your chart about what you see."
- "Take a few moments to think about what you know about the characters, setting, events... maybe you know something about another story like this one?" prompt for original Knuffle Bunny...."How did Trixie feel about her bunny? What do you know about kids and their stuffed animals?"
- "I'll read a few pages (read up to 'Then before she knew it...') and you can add some ideas about what I read. What happened so far?"
- "Let's read a little more so we can put down an idea about the solution..." (Read up to "She realized something...)
- "Ok, we're ready for the prediction. What will happen at the end of the book? Remember your prediction should have parts from all three things - the characters, problem, and solution ideas- that we 'peeked' at. Write it on the bottom of your worksheet.
- Give them a few moments to put down an idea. "We will verify and change this prediction, so it's ok if you're not sure!"
- Here's a student worksheet example.
By focusing on the overall structure of the book, including the beginning of the book the introduces the characters and setting as well as the end of the book that concludes with the actions and events, I'm helping students analyze the structure of the text, including how the beginning and end relate to each other and to the story as a whole. (RL.2.5) The Common Core State Standards encourages us, as teachers, to carefully create these structured situations that allow students to examine the parts of the story, predicting and verifying information independently after careful modeling.

Verify and Illustrate
Read and look for support for the predictions:
- "Let's check the book and see if the evidence supports your prediction."
- Read to the page that says, 'When the school bell rang, Ms. Greengrove returned the Knuffle Bunnies.' You may have to point out the color of the bunnies' ears to show they were switched. "Ok, what happened?"
- "Let's check your prediction. Who wants to share?" Take an answer. "Does the evidence of what we read support that prediction or do you need to change it? It doesn't matter if you predicted right or wrong, because you can change it!"
- "Let's read to the end and we'll check the prediction one last time." Read to the end.
- "Ok check our predictions. Adjust if you need to. Once everyone has adjusted, then all of our predictions are right!"
Students work on the project
- "Let's show what we know by making our 'peek inside and predict' folders. - Draw a picture of what happened at the end of the story." This is one of my student's illustrations.
- Glue your prediction picture on the front and the illustration of what really happened inside the folder. You can 'peek and predict'." Here's the completed project.
- "That was a great story. I really enjoyed predicting and adjusting because I was really 'actively reading'. I was thinking and reading and predicting. I know I'll remember the story better and I feel I understood all of the details."
Scaffolding and Special Education: This lesson can be easily adjusted up and down, depending on the academic level of your students.
For my special education students, I gave them prompts for the SEE/KNOW/READ paper by writing ideas on the slate at their desk. I called on them specifically for clues with the illustrations, because those tend to be more obvious. They did well with illustrating their 'peek and predict' folder.
For students with higher academic abilities, I would expect higher vocabulary related to the beginning (neighbors, classmates). Ask them about their evidence or support for their prediction - If they say that the girl will be scared, can they reference her facial expressions. If they guess that the bunnies are switched, can them reference the word 'description' or 'details' in the picture. Challenge these students to use words to describe this evidence.

Knicks 114, Bucks 108
: Uncategorized : Written by Kevin McElroy : 02-24-2011
I take it you're here to read about Toney Douglas? Tonight, Carmelo Anthony and Chauncey Billups made their Knicks debuts. Both shot poorly from the field (10/25 and 4/12 respectively), but each made key contributions in the fourth quarter as the Knicks held on for a 114-108 win over a Bucks team that is just 8-22 on the road. On most nights this wouldn't have been good enough, but the Bucks missed enough open looks and made enough telegraphed passes for the Knicks to keep their noses out in front. And Toney Douglas, who…wait this sentence needs it's own paragraph: …continue reading

Family FunFair today
High Sky Children's Ranch and the West Texas Children's Advocacy Center have once again partnered to host the Seventh Annual West Texas Child Abuse Awareness Family FunFair in Sweetwater. The FunFair will be held at the Nolan County Coliseum Annex on Wednesday, April 4, from 4-6:30 p.m. The Time of Remembrance will start at 6:05 p.m. and organizers ask that everybody stay for the ceremony honoring children who have been victims of child abuse.Seven years ago both agencies decided that more needed to be done to assure that the communities become aware that child abuse was a problem. It was found that the general public and some community leaders were unaware that child abuse existed and needed to be reported. HSCR and WTCAC decided to work together to help stop child abuse, help teach awareness of child abuse and involve local community leaders and other agencies in their endeavor. This commitment led to the development of the West Texas Family FunFair. For the last seven years, High Sky Children's Ranch and The West Texas Children's Advocacy Center have been sponsoring this event to great success. This event is a family oriented program focused family time and its importance. Organizations that work with families are invited to attend this event and encouraged to bring information to promote their services. Families are encouraged to visit each booth and receive information about each agency. A concession stand is also provided during the FunFair at no charge. Families enjoy a great time of games, food and door prizes during this two and a half hour event. The highlight of the event is the Time of Remembrance for child abuse victims. Local community leaders attend this event and during this time the Mayor of Sweetwater and County Judges declare April as Child Abuse Prevention Month. This event has been effective and families are given a chance to participate in a fun time free of charge. Each year organizers have relied on donations from local businesses to make this a successful event. "We are asking for your participation once again for this great time of family fun time."For more information, contact High Sky Children's Ranch at 325-235-8487 or the West Texas Children's Advocacy Center at 325-235-1818.

A flat tire never happens when it's convenient. You'll be all dressed up and on the way to an important event when you run over that errant nail. Changing a tire by the side of the road was a regular event for motorists in the first half of the last century, but with modern tires you may never have had the pleasure of this adventurous experience. Even if you already know how, here's a refresher with some helpful tips to make it less of an ordeal.
Step 1: Be Prepared
Planning ahead will save a lot of frustration. It's not a bad idea to keep an emergency kit in your trunk and disposable, but sturdy Tyvek overalls will help keep your dry cleaning bills down. Throw in some mechanics gloves, a good waterproof flashlight, hand cleaner, and paper towels. Believe it or not, all that, plus wheels chocks, flares, tire gauge and tire sealant all fit into this shallow Rubbermaid bin. The lid can double as something to kneel on. Since flat tires happen year round, you can even fit in a collapsible snow shovel.
Step 2: Location, Location, Location
You want to choose your tire changing place very carefully. Once on the shoulder, slowly driving to the next exit ramp may give you enough space needed to stay away from the main flow of traffic.
Step 3: Not Enough Room
The line separating traffic from you on the shoulder is not an invisible force field. This example is not enough room, the car is leaning and the ramp is going uphill. You will a need level, solid surface to jack up a car safely.
Step 4: Be Aware of Traffic
Turn on your four-way flashers. Using flares or reflective triangles will help give a long range warning that a disabled car is ahead. This is especially important at night or in the rain. Always be aware of on rushing traffic, especially heavy trucks that create a suction in their wake that can pull you off your feet.
Step 5: Give Yourself Room
Be sure you have enough room around the flat rear tire to work safely. Keep the doors closed. A truck's wake can blow them suddenly wide open and damage the hinges.
Step 6: Set Your Parking Brake
Set your parking brake. Blocking the diagonally opposite wheel will help keep the car from rolling once the flat tire is up in the air. If you don't have a wheel chock, you can improvise with some suitable object found by the side of the road.
Step 7: Check the Spare
Check the spare tire and tools. If your spare is flat or essential tools are missing, there's no sense in continuing. You were prepared so your flat kit is fully stocked and ready to go. Remove jack and lug wrench.
Step 8: Use Your Owner's Manual
Your owners manual has all the vehicle specific instructions and pictures of where everything is located. It's not a bad idea to copy the tire change page instructions (double sided) and laminate them. A plastic kitchen magnet can hold them in a place easily viewed while working.
Step 9: Pry Off the Hub Cap
Use the sharp end of the lug wrench to pry off hub cap. Some cars have hub caps with false lugs that secure the hub cap or are just for decoration. It's a good idea to become familiar with your type of wheel fasteners before you are in an emergency situation.
Step 10: Remove the Hub Cap
Remove the hub cap and set it on the ground upside-down to use as a tray for the lug nuts.
Step 11: Loosen Lugs
Lugs will need to be loosened prior to lifting vehicle.
Step 12: You May Need an Adapter
You may have one lug that requires a special "key" adapter.
Step 13: Insert Key Lock Adapter
Insert key lock adapter.
Step 14: Use Your Floor Mat
Loosen the key lock. Here's a tip: You can use your floor mat to kneel on. Flip it over so the dirty side is on the ground.
Step 15: Remove Lock
Remove lock.
Step 16: Place Lock in Hub Cap
Place lock in hub cap. Loosen all the other lug nuts. You'll put all the lug nuts in the hub cap or other suitable clean place so you don't lose them. You also don't want to get dirt or grit in the threads.
Step 17: Locate the Pinch Flange
On most unit body construction cars, the pinch flange is the strongest part of the car for lifting purposes. Most cars have a notch that fits the factory jack. Consult your owner manual for lifting locations. Lifting a car at the wrong spot can damage the car and endanger you if it's unstable.
Step 18: Position Jack
Position jack under jacking location.
Step 19: Raise the Vehicle
Raise the vehicle slowly by turning the jack handle clockwise. You'll want enough height to not only remove the flat tire, but be able to install the fully inflated spare.
Step 20: Remove the Tire
Remove the remaining, already loosened lug nuts and remove the flat tire. Just pull, but be careful! It may be heavy.
Step 21: Remove Spare
Remove spare from the trunk or inside a rear panel on some minivans.
Step 22: Pickups and SUVs
On many pickups and SUV's the spare is suspended under the rear the truck. There is a center nut that holds the spare up. Direction to loosen is shown. On some there is a manual cable "winch" that lowers the spare down. Consult your owners manual for details on operation.
Step 23: Install the Spare
Install spare by lining up wheel studs with holes.
Step 24: Finger Tighten the Lugs
You may need to use your foot to hold spare in place while you thread the lugs on. Just finger tighten until snug. You should NOT attempt to tighten the lug nuts with the lug wrench while the wheel is in the air. The wheel may merely rotate or could cause the car to fall off the jack.
Step 25: Lower the Car
Carefully lower the car by turning the jack handle counter-clockwise.
Step 26: Tighten the Lugs
Once the car is down you can tighten the lugs. Tighten them clockwise in a crisscross pattern. Your owners manual will show the correct sequence. Failure to tighten the lugs properly is potentially unsafe.
Step 27: Your Spare is Now Installed
Your spare is now installed. Note that these "space saver" tires are temporary spares. Do not exceed the speed label on the sidewall (usually 50 mph) and drive carefully. Because a temporary spare does not have the same handling characteristics and longevity as your regular tire, get your full size flat tire repaired or replaced right away.
Step 28: Remove the Jack
Be sure to remember to remove jack and stow in trunk. Look around and pick up your tools, hubcap, emergency kit, and everything else.
Step 29: Stow Flat in the Trunk
Place the flat, tools and kit in trunk.
Step 30: Reinstall Hub Cap
After you get a new tire mounted on your wheel, reinstall wheel and re-install hub cap. Put spare back in trunk. Secure jack and tools.
Step 31: All Done
All done! Remember: Don't delay getting a new tire.

Hartsville, S.C. – All season long the Coker men's soccer team has made history and as the Conference Carolinas Soccer Tournament begins on Tuesday, they are hoping to continue to make history. The Cobras are seeded fifth in the tournament, their highest seeding in school history, and will have play nationally ranked #13 and fourth seed Anderson University.
Kick-off is set for 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3 at Anderson University.
The Cobras lost their only contest against the Trojans back on Oct. 24, 2-0. Even with the loss, Coker had several good scoring opportunities, but were unable to capitalize.
Leading the Cobras offense is junior forward Daniel Shrizad (Orlando, Fla.) with seven goals, while freshman Eric Stiefield (Eustis, Fla.) has scored six goals on the year with an assist. Holding down the defense is freshman goalkeeper James Sweeney (Huntingtown, Md.). Sweeney has allowed just 15 goals in almost 1500 minutes of play, while making 42 saves with a 10-4-2 record including seven shutouts.

New Exemptions to DMCA
By David P. Miranda
The Librarian of Congress, upon recommendation of the U.S. Copyright Office, has issued a ruling clarifying the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), permitting, in certain instances, the circumvention of access control technologies. The DMCA prohibits circumvention of access control technologies employed by or on behalf of copyright owners to protect their works, effective on October 28, 2000, or two years after the enactment of the DMCA. Because the DMCA's prohibition against circumvention raised unchartered technological and legal issues, Congress delayed the implementation of the law in order to permit a determination of whether noninfringing uses of particular classes of copyrighted works might be affected.
During the two-year period between enactment and the effective date of the provision, Congress asked the Librarian of Congress to make a determination as to classes of works to be exempted from the prohibition, based upon a recommendation from the Copyright Office. After the solicitation of public comments and hearings, the Copyright Office determined that two exemptions were necessary. One exemption addresses compilations consisting of lists of websites blocked by filtering software applications, and the other exemption concerns the right to penetrate electronic barriers protecting copyrighted materials when the barriers are erected as a result of a malfunction.
Certain software products, commonly known as "filtering software" or "blocking software," restrict users from visiting certain Internet websites. These software products include compilations of websites to which the software will deny access. This software is often used by schools, libraries, and parents to prevent access to inappropriate materials on their computers. Manufacturers of filtering software encrypt the names of blocked websites that are protected by copyright law as compilations.
In at least one instance ( Micro Systems Software, Inc. v. Scandinavia Online), an injunction was obtained against authors of a program that decrypted the listing of blocked websites. Such acts of decryption would likely violate DMCA § 1201(a)(1) without the exemption. The Copyright Office notes that there is legitimate non-infringing use of such compilations for the purposes of providing critique and comment on lists of websites blocked by filtering software. The Copyright Office finds that there is no alternative but to decrypt the encrypted list, in order to learn what websites are included in the filtering software.
The second exemption addresses users who are prevented from accessing certain works contained in software or databases because access control protections are not functioning as they were intended. In particular, libraries and educational institutions stated they have experienced instances where materials protected by access controls malfunctioned, and they could not obtain timely relief from the copyright owner. The Copyright Office determined that circumvention of access controls in these instances should not have a significant effect on the market for the work because copyright owners typically already will have been compensated for the use of the work.
The most significant aspect of the Copyright Office's recommendation may be its failure to provide an exemption for audiovisual works on digital versatile discs (DVDs). The recommendation notes that more comments and testimony were submitted on the subject of motion pictures on DVDs and the technological measures employed to protect them, such as the Content Scrambling System (CSS), than on any other subject in this rulemaking. CSS is an encryption system used on most commercially distributed DVDs. DVDs with CSS may be viewed only on properly licensed equipment.
Some argued an exemption was necessary to permit the circumvention of CSS because it prevents the user from making otherwise noninfringing uses of lawfully acquired copies, such as excerpting parts of the material on a DVD for a film class that might be considered a fair use. The Copyright Office found, however, that any harm caused by the existence of access control measures used in DVDs could be avoided by obtaining a copy of the work on VHS tape.
The Copyright Office also noted the recent decision in Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Reimerdes, which enjoined Internet website owners from posting or downloading computer software that decrypted digitally encrypted movies on DVDs, or from including hyperlinks to other websites that made the decryption software available. That ruling rejected the argument that a separate portion of the DMCA should be applied to permit reverse engineering of DVDs. The Copyright Office noted that the Universal City Studios case is on appeal and subsequent developments in that case or future cases could make the need to fashion an exemption for DVDs moot. The Copyright Office stated that it would proceed with caution before creating an exemption to accommodate reverse engineering that goes beyond the scope of congressional intentions.
The exemptions established by the Copyright Office will be effective until October 28, 2003. Prior to the expiration of that three-year period, the Copyright Office will initiate a new rulemaking process to consider what classes of marks, if any, should be exempt from § 1201 after October 28, 2003. Based upon the increasing use of and interest in DVDs, it is likely that the Copyright Office will again consider an exemption regarding DVD encryption technologies during its next rulemaking phase.
