Chapter IV
come! Here he is! Which one? Rather young, eh? Why, my dear soul, she looks more dead than alive! were the comments in the crowd when Levin, meeting his bride in the entrance, walked with her into the church.
Stepan Arkadyevitch told his wife the cause of the delay, and the guests were whispering it with smiles to one another. Levin saw nothing and no one; he did not take his eyes off his bride.
Everyone said she had lost her looks dreadfully of late and was not nearly so pretty on her wedding-day as usual; but Levin did not think so. He looked at her hair done up high, with the long white veil and white flowers and the high, stand-up, scolloped collar, that in such a maidenly fashion did her long neck at the sides and only showed it in front, her strikingly slender figure, and it seemed to him that she looked better than evernot because these flowers, this veil, this gown from Paris added anything to her beauty; but because, in spite of the elaborate sumptuousness of her attire, the expression of her sweet face, of her eyes, of her lips was still her own characteristic expression of guileless truthfulness.
I was beginning to think you meant to run away, she said, and smiled to him.
Its so stupid, what happened to me, Im ashamed to speak of it! he said, reddening, and he was obliged to turn to Sergey Ivanovitch, who came up to him.
This is a pretty story of yours about the shirt! said Sergey Ivanovitch, shaking his head and smiling.
Yes, yes! answered Levin, without an idea of what they were talking about.
Now, Kostya, you have to decide, said Stepan Arkadyevitch with an air of mock dismay, a weighty question. You are at this moment just in the humour to appreciate all its gravity. They ask me, are they to light candles that have been lighted before or candles that have never been lighted? Its a matter of ten roubles, but I was afraid you might not agree.
Levin saw it was a joke, but he could not smile.
Well, hows it to be then?unlighted or lighted candles? thats the question.
Yes, yes, unlighted.
Oh, Im very glad. The questions decided! said Stepan Arkadyevitch, smiling. How silly men are, though, in this position, he said to Tchirikov, when Levin, after looking absently at him, had moved back to his bride.
Kitty, mind youre the first to step on the carpet, said Countess Nordston, coming up. Youre a nice person! she said to Levin.
Arent you frightened, eh? said Marya Dmitrievna, an old aunt.
Are you cold? Youre pale. Stop a minute, stoop down, said Kittys sister, Madame Lvov, and with her plump, handsome arms she smilingly set straight the flowers on her head.
Dolly came up, tried to say something, but could not speak, cried, and then laughed unnaturally.
Kitty looked at all of them with the same absent eyes as Levin.
Meanwhile the officiating clergy had got into their vestments, and the priest and deacon came out to the lectern, which stood in the forepart of the church. The priest turned to Levin saying something. Levin did not hear what the priest said.
Take the brides hand and lead her up, the best man said to Levin.
It was a long while before Levin could make out what was expected of him. For a long time they tried to set him right and made him begin againbecause he kept taking Kitty by the wrong arm or with the wrong armtill he understood at last that what he had to do was, without changing his position, to take her right hand in his right hand. When at last he had taken the brides hand in the correct way, the priest walked a few paces in front of them and stopped at the lectern. The crowd of friends and relations moved after them, with a buzz of talk and a rustle of skirts. Some one stooped down and pulled out the brides train. The church became so still that the drops of wax could be heard falling from the candles.
The little old priest in his ecclesiastical cap, with his long silvery-grey locks of hair parted behind his ears, was fumbling with something at the lectern, putting out his little old hands from under the heavy silver vestment with the gold cross on the back of it.
Stepan Arkadyevitch approached him cautiously, whispered something, and making a sign to Levin, walked back again.
The priest lighted two candles, wreathed with flowers, and holding them sideways so that the wax dropped slowly from them he turned, facing the bridal pair. The priest was the same old man that had confessed Levin. He looked with weary and melancholy eyes at the bride and bridegroom, sighed, and putting his right hand out from his vestment, blessed the bridegroom with it, and also with a shade of solicitous tenderness laid the crossed fingers on the bowed head of Kitty. Then he gave them the candles, and taking the censer, moved slowly away from them.
Can it be true? thought Levin, and he looked round at his bride. Looking down at her he saw her face in profile, and from the scarcely perceptible quiver of her lips and eyelashes he knew she was aware of his eyes upon her. She did not look round, but the high scolloped collar, that reached her little pink ear, trembled faintly. He saw that a sigh was held back in her throat, and the little hand in the long glove shook as it held the candle.
All the fuss of the shirt, of being late, all the talk of friends and relations, their annoyance, his ludicrous positionall suddenly passed away and he was filled with joy and dread.
The handsome, stately head-deacon wearing a silver robe, and his curly locks standing out at each side of his head, stepped smartly forward, and lifting his stole on two fingers, stood opposite the priest.
Blessed be the name of the Lord, the solemn syllables rang out slowly one after another, setting the air quivering with waves of sound.
Blessed is the name of our God, from the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, the little old priest answered in a submissive, piping voice, still fingering something at the lectern. And the full chorus of the unseen choir rose up, filling the whole church, from the windows to the vaulted roof, with broad waves of melody. It grew stronger, rested for an instant, and slowly died away.
They prayed, as they always do, for peace from on high and for salvation for the Holy Synod and for the Tsar; they prayed, too, for the servants of God, Konstantin and Ekaterina now plighting their troth.
Vouchsafe to them love made perfect, peace and help, O Lord, we beseech Thee, the whole church seemed to breathe with one voice of the head-deacon.
Levin heard the words, and they impressed him. How did they guess that it is help, just help that one wants? he thought, recalling all his fears and doubts of late. What do I know? what can I do in this fearful business, he thought, without help? Yes, it is help I want now.
When the deacon had finished the prayer for the Imperial family, the priest turned to the bridal pair with a book: Eternal God, that joinest together in love them that were seperate, he read in a gentle, piping voice: who hath ordained the union of holy wedlock that cannot be set asunder, Thou who didst bless Isaac and Rebecca and their descendants, according to Thy Holy Covenant; bless Thy servants, Konstantin and Ekaterina, leading them in the path of all good works. For gracious and merciful art Thou, our Lord, and glory be to Thee, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, now and ever shall be.
Amen! the unseen choir sent rolling again upon the air.
Joinest together in love them that were seperate. What deep meaning in those words, and how they correspond with what one feels at this moment, thought Levin. Is she feeling the same as I?
And looking round, he met her eyes, and from their expression he concluded that she was understanding it just as he was. But this was a mistake; she almost completely missed the meaning of the words of the service; she had not heard them, in fact. She could not listen to them and take them in, so strong was the one feeling that filled her breast and grew stronger and stronger. That feeling was joy at the completion of the process that for the last month and a half had been going on in her soul, and had during those six weeks been a joy and a torture to her. On the day when in the drawing-room of the house in Arbaty Street she had gone up to him in her brown dress, and given herself to him without a wordon that day, at that hour, there took place in her heart a complete severance from all her old life, and a quite different, new, utterly strange life had begun for her, while the old life was actually going on as before. Those six weeks had for her been a time of the utmost bliss and the utmost misery. All her life, all her desires and hopes were concentrated on this one man, still uncomprehended by her, to whom she was bound by a feeling of alternate attraction and repulsion, even less comprehended than the man himself, and all the while she was going on living in the outward conditions of her old life. Living the old life, she was horrified at herself, at her utter insurmountable callousness to all her own past, to things, to habits, to the people she had loved, who loved herto her mother, who was wounded by her indifference, to her kind, tender father, till then dearer than all the world. At one moment she was horrified at this indifference, at another she rejoiced at what had brought her to this indifference. She could not frame a thought, not a wish apart from life with this man; but this new life was not yet, and she could not even picture it clearly to herself.
There was only anticipation, the dread and joy of the new and the unknown. And now beholdanticipation and uncertainty and remorse at the abandonment of the old lifeall was ending, and the new was beginning. This new life could not but have terrors for her inexperience; but, terrible or not, the change had been wrought six weeks before in her soul, and this was merely the final sanction of what had long been completed in her heart.
Turning again to the lectern, the priest with some difficulty took Kittys little ring, and asking Levin for his hand, put it on the first joint of his finger. The servant of God, Konstantin, plights his troth to the servant of God, Ekaterina. And putting his big ring on Kittys touchingly weak, pink little finger, the priest said the same thing.
And the bridal pair tried several times to understand what they had to do, and each time made some mistake and were corrected by the priest in a whisper. At last, having duly performed the ceremony, having signed the rings with the cross, the priest handed Kitty the big ring, and Levin the little one. Again they were puzzled, and passed the rings from hand to hand, still without doing what was expected.
Dolly, Tchirikov, and Stepan Arkadyevitch stepped forward to set them right. There was an interval of hesitation, whispering, and smiles; but the expression of solemn emotion on the faces of the betrothed pair did not change: on the contrary, in their perplexity over their hands they looked more grave and deeply moved than before, and the smile with which Stepan Arkadyevitch whispered to them that now they would each put on their own ring died away on his lips. He had a feeling that any smile would jar on them.
Thou who didst from the beginning create male and female, the priest read after the exchange of rings, from Thee woman was given to man to be a helpmeet to him, and for the procreation of children. O Lord our God, who hast poured down the blessings of Thy Truth according to Thy Holy Covenant upon Thy chosen servants, our fathers, from generation to generation, bless Thy servants Konstantin and Ekaterina, and make their troth fast in faith, and union of hearts, and truth, and love.
Levin felt more and more that all his ideas of marriage, all his dreams of how he would order his life, were mere childishness, and that it was something he had not understood hitherto, and now understood less than ever, though it was being performed upon him. The lump in his throat rose higher and higher, tears that would not be checked came into his eyes.

Microphone Turner Plus 3 Diagram Schematic
(1/2) > >>
Sérgio Eduardo M. de Freitas:
Dears, I'm looking for Schematic Diagram of amplifier circuit of the microphone Turner model Plus Three (+3). I have one, but no ampiflier and I would like to homebrew a amplifier similar of Plus Three model.
Thank you to read.
Eduardo - PY2VR
In looking in the review section of eham you might try to email VE7BGP as he has a good review on the turner plus 3 mic and might help you....Good Luck de KB9UMT Don
I have original spec sheet that came with mic when new back in 70's if anyone needs it. I also have the Turner Super SideKick and want to determine which mic sounds best. I am wiring them to Alinco DX-70T. The SideKick has an adjustable pot on underside of mic base which seems to not do much unless opened up almost all the way. Similar pattern on the topside gain pot. I recall the +3 gain pot being kept at less than half most of the time and find the Sidekick to be totally different animal. After using the Sidekick for awhile I am starting to lean toward the +3 as the better sounding mike. When I examine the circuit boards inside each mic, the +3 pcb is more complex with many more parts and transistors. Anyone ever been down this path before as far as comparing these two mics?
Vallued colleagues my name is Gilberto Sanchez (YY1SBG), alive in venezuela and recently a good colleague and friend I me donate some things of radio, (for him in disuse), between which there was a Microphone Turner +3, lamentably very damaged, is the well-read one very good critiques of this one equipment and i am wanted to restore it, nevertheless for it I need the schematic one (electrical planes) of the same one. I wanted to know if yours can help me in this, since according i read in eHam.net you have the specifications of the same one. Me did You may send me this information or say to me wherefrom I can download it?
If you don't mind,I would like a copy of schematic for the turner +3 and or the super-side kick,Thanks,Hank,kc5zss in So . Texas

Cool Droid DNA Feature
The HTC Droid DNA has a simple sixty-two pinhole in concentric circles feature at the real of the phone. The feature might just be one of the more interesting additions to the Droid DNA in an attempt to improve usability.
If you have picked up an HTC Droid DNA you might have noticed something on the back of the device. Yes I am talking about those sixty-one pinholes in concentric circles.
Any ideas? A speaker? A random design feature?
You would be wrong on all counts. HTC designer have really thought about how their customers use their phones. The feature keeps in mind that sometimes phones are left face down. This feature is a notification light for anything from incoming calls to message notifications.
The Droid DNA is an interesting offer in the Android market and I will be getting my hands on one as soon as I can. The Droid DNA is the first smartphone ever to have a 1920 x 1080-resolution, 5-inch screen, it is going to be an interesting phone for games and YouTube.
This could be a fun feature for hackers out there. At the moment all I have heard about is that the notification light glows green. It will be interesting to see what developers out there do with it. I am hoping that when I pick up my Droid DNA that I can get a multicolored disco light.
Are there any hacks out there for this already?
4 comments
As much as I admire the HTC Droid DNA, I am leaving Verizon Wireless (I wish HTC the best of luck in 2013, if they can make better Android Smart Phones for the "No Contract" Market? They will offer Samsung some healthy competition) ...
thats awesome and the rear notif. lights are set at a specific color set i have heard, unknown if this is true though, i went note 2 instead for the s pen and split screen + batt. life. but the dna is a beauty isnt she?
Sign me up. I love the design. Not sure what the practical uses of rear notification light are though. Still, it's a pretty cool feature.
nice idea. one of the innovative patents bought from Apple!!

Service, Solutions, Support... Satisfaction
Remote AssistanceSearch Online Property
BS&A has designed simply outstanding software that very efficiently supports municipalities in fulfilling the ever increasing demands upon our day-to-day operations in serving the needs of our local community. This is very important but where BS&A excels is in listening to, completely supporting and truly partnering with their customers in serving the public. The adage of giving more than what is expected has all been lost in today's fast paced world but BS&A has differentiated themselves from their competitors and quite frankly most commercial enterprises by following this simply but powerful commitment. It is very apparent that BS&A recognizes and is committed to efficiently and economically serving the needs of their municipal customers resulting in an efficiently partnership to serve the public's needs.
It may sound trite but it is a fact that when we call BS&A support for assistance we truly feel that they are a valued co-worker who is personally committed to helping us solve whatever challenge we are experiencing or trying to work through. The BS&A support staff effectively uses reflective listening skills to properly identify our question or need, is empathetic to our situation, demonstrates an understanding of the time constraints that all of us are working through and they are always very humble in their interaction skills. These qualities are basic to human interaction, unfortunately absent from so many areas of our lives but are a cornerstone of the BS&A commitment to their customers.
BS&A has always been responsive to our needs. Any suggestion we have made as far as product or process improvements have been welcomed and implemented. Their tech support is also worth their weight in gold.
It is a great company and great product. There are always receptive to their customers' needs.
The BS&A assessing/tax software is easy to use and navigate. The data link between the two modules helps maintain the records and saves time that would otherwise be needed to update. The fact that Wayne County uses the same system makes it easier to communicate and to reconcile reports as well.
On top of all this is the excellent customer support provided from BS&A staff, who never get tired of questions and resolve all issues to our satisfaction.
Each member of the assessing tech support team at BS&A is very knowledgeable and helpful. Their willingness to assist customers is second to none. Their response time, as well as resolution to problems, is quick and efficient. Not only do they understand the program, they understand assessing, which only enhances their service to their customers. The company's involvement in State and local assessing associations, whether training, updating or mingling, demonstrates its' desire to maintain successful relationships with their customers.
Another observation I have made is that the staff, across all departments at BS&A, seem to work well as a team. It is obvious that they have the best interest of their clients at hand and do what they can to make their product the best on the market. I especially like that they are open to, and appreciate, suggestions to make enhancements to the software. BS&A software makes every assessor's job easier… especially Assessing.net and all its' capabilities!
The benefit of using BS&A Software for taxes is summed up to customer support. Everyone in the customer support department is so well trained; they almost know your questions before you can ask them. You want a report that lists A,B,C and can't find it . . you will have it saved in your system in 2 minutes; you are setting up your database for the next year . . . you are talked through the process so you don't miss a step. On top of intelligent answers, they are genuinely nice people! You feel like you are calling a friend or cousin who is tech savvy.
Customer service is what defines and lifts BS&A above the rest. They must have hundreds of clients that they talk to each tax season, but they never seem tired of reviewing the information with you, or bored with their job. They are easy to talk to and quick offer solutions to make our jobs easier.
The rapport you build with the customer service staff is more than staff/customer. I would be glad to welcome my BS&A friends into my home, they feel that close.
I have been using BS&A's Assessing software for over fourteen years. Before that I was using another program that you had to enter data at a DOS prompt. I never really understood that program. Equalizer Assessing and the .Net programs are easy to use, print out great reports, and if you have a problem their phone support is head and shoulders above all others support centers. They actually listen to their customers suggestions and have implemented many of my suggestions. BS&A is constantly striving to improve their programs. The automatic online update is a great way to keep the program up to date. I have work at many different cities and townships and they all use BS&A's programs.
The support staff is the best in the computer software market. I have spent hours on the phone with operating software companies and other software companies. BS&A's support staff has always solved my software problems in minutes, looked at the problem on their own, and leaving me to do my work. I really can gush about their support staff because they have helped me out so many times, so quickly and professionally. If your on the fence due to a fear of learning a new program, jump on over to BS&A's programs. They will work with you as you get to know the program and make sure you know what you're doing before they end your call.

was busy for a very long time but never stopped working on getting better concerning, models, coding etc.
Only registered members can share their thoughts. So come on! Join the community today (totally free - or sign in with your social account on the right) and join in the conversation.
Just a model of mine that I wondered if it would fit in the game.
If I can, I'll make the turrets moving (is possible and to be seen in many mods).
And, well, the model itself already was/is in my game, although I didn't code it so far.
Just took the 304 and put the other model on top of it.
Apart from the missing texture, it works.

The mid-caps led shares down on Thursday, as retail woes and Germany's decision to impose heavy taxes on online gaming knocked the FTSE 250.
The mid-cap index, often described as more representative of the UK economy than the blue-chips, was down 122 points, or by just over 1%, by the close. The FTSE 100 fell just 0.5%, or by 34 points, to finish at 6,007.
Whether it was the UK economy bringing the mid-caps to a halt, or the German tax moves, was unclear.
The biggest faller was Bwin.party, a major constituent of the FTSE 250, which plunged almost 15% to finish at 142p. Germany wants to impose a 17% turnover tax for online gaming, and the newly merged combination of Austrian group Bwin and Gibraltar gaming firm PartyGaming has a major interest in Germany. The combined group's shares began trading on Monday at 203p, and by the close on Thursday evening had lost almost £500m in market capitalisation.
Fellow mid-cap Betfair was also falling on the same news, but is less exposed. A note from Deutsche Bank suggested the German tax moves would reduce Betfair's 2012 profits by 5%, and Bwin.party's by 36%. Betfair shares were down 32p to £9.60, to add to yesterday's 4% fall.
There were broader reasons for the FTSE 250's fall, too. 7am profit warnings from Carpetright and Halfords added to the prevailing retail gloom, which is starting to take other stocks down too.
ITV was among the biggest fallers among the FTSE 100, as investors bet that the retail downturn would affect it in particular. Almost a quarter of its advertising revenues come from retail. The shares were down 3.5% to 77p.
News of a second earthquake and tsunami in Japan, which flashed across investors' screens at 15:45, pushed Aggreko to the top of the FTSE 100 leaderboard. The temporary power supplier, which is already supplying emergency power in Japan following last month's devstating earthquake, saw its stock rise 22p to £16.96.
The banks prevented the FTSE 100 from falling further than it could have done, as investors speculated on the report from the Independent Commission on Banking, due out this coming Monday. A note from Société Générale suggested that Barclays was most at risk from the commission's review of the sector: "We estimate full subsidiarisation (i.e. separate capital and funding) could reduce group profits by c.30%. However, we believe the probability of such an outcome is low at 25%."
Whether it was hopes that the commission would prove less dramatic, or relief at the resolution of Portugal's debt issues, the big banks were heading upwards before the Japanese news trimmed gains. At the close the banks had added 5 points to the FTSE 100. HSBC rose 7p to 667p; Royal Bank of Scotland was up 0.1p to 42.9p; and Barclays rose 0.45p to 295p.
GKN was the biggest faller among the blue-chips ahead of its first quarter trading update on Monday. The shares fell 4.5% to 200p.
Britvic was another faller after Goldman Sachs downgraded the stock to a "sell", saying that rising raw material costs and "the consumer's quest for value" would hit its margins. It fell 4p to 395p.

Back in November I ran a story that Mozilla added support for H.264 video to Firefox Nightly versions. Turned out that this was not the case after all, but a case of the NoScript plugin blocking the detection on YouTube's HTML5 player site.
It has been a month since that unfortunate news piece, and things seem to have taken a turn for the better, finally. A test build of Firefox 20 with H.264 support has been created for Windows versions of the web browser. The Nightly test version adds a WMF decoder and reader to the Firefox browser that interfaces with Windows Media Foundation to add H.264, AAC and MP3 playback capabilities to the Firefox web browser.

Who should pay for dramatic rescues? Werner Greiner, who returned to Switzerland on Tuesday after being held for six months in Mali, is hoping it's not the victim.
However, the government has revealed that its SFr300,000 ($275,000) budget for "consular protection" has been drained by recent kidnappings and it is discussing whether hostages or tour operators should pay for the "supplementary loan".
Greiner's case has also raised the issues of self-responsibility and of kidnap and ransom insurance.
"This operation obviously cost more than foreseen, but I think it's up to the authorities of Switzerland and Mali to find an appropriate solution," Stephan Müller from the Touring Club of Switzerland told swissinfo.ch.
"I personally don't think it's good that a victim of a hijacking comes home and hears in the media that he should contribute to the rescue costs."
Werner and Gabriella Greiner were abducted along with a German woman and a British man on January 22 while visiting a Tuarag tribe festival near to the border of Niger. They were driven into Niger by a group that called itself al-Qaida in the Islamic Magreb (AQIM).
The extremists released Gabriella and the German woman in April, but later claimed they had executed the British hostage and threatened to kill Werner Greiner.
On Monday both husband and wife thanked the Swiss authorities for their "professionalism" and "hard work" in securing their release. The crisis management group dealing with the case in Bern and in the Malian capital, Bamako, comprised up to 50 people.
Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey denied Switzerland had paid ransom money despite some press reports suggesting otherwise. "Switzerland never pays ransoms," she said.
Governments rarely if ever confirm money has changed hands, but analysts say Westerners taken hostage in the Sahara have in the past been freed after substantial sums have been handed over.
"What needs to be clarified is whether the victims or the tour operator or anyone else can justifiably be accused of negligence or carelessness," Urs Schwaller, a parliamentarian for the centre-right Christian Democratic Party, told swissinfo.ch.
"But this question can be applied to every rescue action, whether it's in the mountains or at sea or wherever."
Indeed, similar debates are held in Switzerland whenever a mountain climber gets stuck and needs to be rescued, often at considerable expense.
Schwaller finds it "irresponsible" for further trips to be offered to such risky places. If this were the case, he added, travel agents should bear the financial responsibility.
In 2003, when four Swiss were freed in Algeria having been held for six months, the travel insurance paid the foreign ministry SFr65,500 per hostage.
"Mr Greiner went on this trip six months ago, but if someone decided to go on such a trip now, in the middle of July, I'd struggle to understand why the government should be expected to carry the costs of any rescue action," he said.
"If you walk across a frozen lake, then you're doing it at your own risk. If you know that the danger in a case is very real, then I think it's irresponsible to offer, or indeed undertake, such trips."
For his part, Müller of the Touring Club called for more self-responsibility. "I also appeal to any tour operator and any potential traveller to consult the foreign ministry's website, which tells you how dangerous your destination is."
Professional risk
Walter Kunz, head of the Swiss association of travel agencies, agrees. "People who go off into danger zones should pay for the consequences themselves," he told swissinfo.ch.
"Normally, if the foreign ministry warns against a certain area but a client still wants to go, he has to pay the costs for repatriation himself. I personally don't know any serious tour operator in Switzerland offering Sahara trips to Mali – although someone probably is."
But Kunz points out that if someone goes to a high-risk area for business, working for example for the Red Cross or Médecins Sans Frontières, that's different. "They are doing their job. They are risking their lives and in that case I personally think that should be paid by the government."
In April Islamic rebels in the Philippines freed Andreas Notter, a delegate of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) who had spent 93 days in captivity.
Kidnap insurance
When it comes to kidnap and ransom (K&R) insurance, Swiss insurers are behind the big international firms such as Aon and Hiscox.
Indeed, as far as Müller is aware, no Swiss companies even offer K&R insurance.
"I don't think it makes sense," he said. "I wouldn't feel safer if I had [K&R insurance]. So I'm kidnapped and they kill me – do they pay for the transport of my coffin?"
K&R insurance has long been regarded with scepticism. In the 1980s British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher even carried out an investigation into the sector, concerned that it not only encouraged policy holders to pay up, but also that they would be less cautious about how much they paid knowing they would be reimbursed.
This, she argued, would lead to more frequent and higher ransom payments.
This is academic, as Werner Greiner didn't have kidnap and ransom cover. But it highlights the difficulty, if not impossibility, of getting black and white answers when dealing with risk – and who should pay when things go wrong.
"Where would the industry end up if we insured everything?" Müller said. "Life's a risky business."
Thomas Stephens, swissinfo.ch
Kidnap and ransom insurance
Kidnap and ransom (K&R) insurance is designed to protect individuals and corporations operating in high-risk areas around the world. Policies typically cover kidnap, extortion, wrongful detention and hijacking.
K&R policies do not pay ransoms on behalf of the insured. The insured must first pay the ransom, thus incurring the loss, and then seek reimbursement under the policy. Losses typically reimbursed by K&R polices are ransom payments, loss-of-ransom-in-transit and additional expenses, such as medical costs.
Specifically, a policy may cover and/or provide: a crisis response team and professional advice; medical expenses, including psychiatric expenses and expenses for rest and relaxation and cosmetic or plastic surgery after release; loss due to injury (mutilation, loss of fingers, total disability); time away from work after release; travel expenses; a reward paid to informants leading to the arrest and conviction of responsible parties.

Needing God
They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator Himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! (Romans 1:25).
When Palestinian Tass Saada was just 17 years old, he joined the Fatah movement in the West Bank. Tass hated Jews and engaged in guerilla warfare against them. He became known as "Butcher" due to the many Israeli soldiers he killed as a sniper. But later, Tass surrendered His life to Jesus and now loves God and the Jews. His ministry in the Middle East is called Seeds of Hope. Tass works to provide modern necessities for Palestinians who live in the West Bank, while he also builds relational bridges between them and their Jewish neighbors.
Like all of us, Tass Saada had a deep need for God. Pastor and writer Ray Stedman once wrote that "Human beings are without [Him]." He then described how the book of Genesis reveals our deep need for God as seen in three realms:
• National Science(genesis 1–2)
• Human Relationships (3–5)
• Spiritual Relationships(6–50)
As we consider one of those spheres—Human Relationships—we read that Cain wantonly took human life (4:8)—much like Tass when he was younger. By killing his brother Abel—committing the first murder—Cain rejected God's counsel and pushed Him away (vv.6-7).
When we refuse to follow God and His loving instruction, we're doomed to destruction in relationships and doomed to follow the lies of this world (Romans 1:25). Sadly, our holy God must turn away from us when we engage in our "shameful," "vile," and "degrading" acts (v.24).
Cain desperately needed God and His truth, wisdom, and love. But instead of being accepted in right relationship with God by turning to Him and rejecting the sin "crouching at [his] door" (Genesis 4:7), he committed a horrific sin that left him "cursed" before his Creator (v.11).
Don't deny your need for God. Turn to Him today and find true life.
—Tom Felten
Read Ephesians 2:1 to see our inadequacy before God. Read versesEphesians 2:4 to see what happens when we acknowledge our need for Him.
In what ways have you been living as if you don't need God? Why is it vital for you to acknowledge your daily need for Him?

This video really got me thinking. Thinking about what is really going on and how I need to be paying more attention to things. And spend some time with some "remedial training" on Our Constitution. And to focus on being more aware and prepared. I dont know about anyone else but have probably learned more on this site since joining in the past week than I have in the past 5 years.

Saturday - I woke up breathing out of my mouth with a slightly sore throat and had trouble sleeping the rest of the day - I got back to sleep after another drop of the new nasal spray but I know I'm not supposed to overuse it. The congestion is even worse - the neti pot this time did almost nothing.

I just wondered if anyone else here has had a similar situation and maybe how it was handled. Thank you so much to anyone who responds.

At any rate, this can be said for taking antibiotics, or any other treatment that people use for a cold or acute sinusitis—many times the body fights off the infection anyway, and whatever medicine or treatment that people are taking or doing when the infection clears up is going to get the credit. Your doctor may prescribe a corticosteroid nasal spray to help reduce your
and the swelling and inflammation in your mucus membranes. 11.

I can sympathize with you all. I myself just recently started experiencing dizziness associated with allergies. I turned 40 this year, and I have suffered from seasonal allergies for about ten years now, but it has never been accompanied with dizziness. I reside in NY and we have been having lots of rain lately, and for the past two weeks I have been experiencing dizziness.

I have nasal congestion & also a low grade chronic sinus infection. My nose was overly dry from use of flonase, allegra-D, & nasal rinse. Be willing to experiment.

Does anyone use decongestants (Guiefenesin found in cough syrup & cold meds) to help CM to be a good consistency? I heard it helps the sperm get through more easily. A friend of mine was TTC for five years and her husband had low motility. She started taking cough syrup and within 6-12 months, got pregnant and miscarried a few weeks in (in Nov.) & now is 5 weeks pregnant again and everything is looking good. I have been TTC for two years and am wondering if I should try it. Is it safe?

For a cough, try something like
, like Robitussin Severe
Liquagels or Mucinex. Avoid dextramethorphan, like Robitussin DM. It is okay to treat the symptoms of your cough, but if you are getting symptoms that point toward bacterial infection requiring antibiotics, make sure you see your doctor. Examples of symptoms to watch for are fever, coughing up colored phlegm, pain in your chest when you cough, shortness of breath, or any symptoms lasting more than 10 days or so.

Do saline nasal rinsing with a neti pot. Drink warm water or not tea throughout the day. Do you know about guaifenesin? It moisturizes your entire respiratory tract from the inside out and thins mucus. You want your mucus moist & thin so it can run down the throat or out the nose and not be thick. you want THIN MUCUS AT ALL TIMES. I take guaifenesin every single day and I drink LOTS of water.

On 11/2/2010 I got a horrible
headache. I get these every time the weather changes. It went was lessened the next day but by then I had a runny nose. This lasted until 11/5 when it felt like I was getting a chest cold. That night when I went to bed it felt like an extra effort to breathe. I figured it was just some chest congestion and let it go until the next day. The problem with that is that my doctors office wasn't open so I had to go to the ER.

Hi everyone! This is my first post. About 32 days since I quit Norco cold. I had been prescribed it for pain due to arthritis and then post-surgically because I cannot take NSAIDS and Tramadol makes me sick. I took 2-3 pills a day of 7.50/325 for about 5 yes, then one day I just did not want to be a fat dumb and happy (?) nonproductive person anymore so I quit.

Yellow means

infection can easily turn into Bronchitus. I recommend going to the doctor and getting some medicine. Also, drink lots of water and get plenty of rest.

Concrete hardscape and a light colored roof help to reduce the heat island effect of the building.
Concrete was chosen as a paving material because of its high reflectivity. Specific shingles with a high solar reflectance index were selected over regular asphalt shingles, and a white membrane roof was installed for the remainder of the roof. These materials help reduce the amount of solar gain in the building, thus also reduce the cooling demands and energy use in the building.

GENEVA - Syria is now in a state of civil war with more than 4,000 dead and increasing numbers of defecting soldiers taking up arms against the government of President Bashar al-Assad, the top United Nations human rights official said on Thursday."We are placing the figure at 4,000, but really the reliable information coming to us is that it is much more than that," UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay told a news conference.

At the moment that's how I am characterizing this," she said.Violence continued throughout the week in Syria, as
troops shot dead six civilian protesters and army defectors killed
seven soldiers on Wednesday and regional pressure grew on Assad to
withdraw forces from restive cities, free prisoners and start talks with
the opposition.Syria's biggest trade partner Turkey suspended
all financial credit dealings with Damascus and froze its assets,
joining the Arab League in isolating Assad over his military crackdown.
The United States urged other countries to follow suit.

12 hours is a good move. Hamas can't really do that much in 12 hours to boost their war capacity and if you give me 12 hours as a civilian to haul ass, I'm long gone.
Iranian parliament speaker boasts that his country provided Hamas with the technology it has used to rain down rockets on Israel.

"Today, the fighters in Gaza have good capabilities and can meet their own needs for weapons," speaker Ali Larijani was quoted as having told the Arabic service of state television."
US doesn't want Hamas to run low on ammo and missiles?
Then back to work.
I think expelling them might be the only way. But who would take them?
Hmmm? No IDF action for 12 hrs would allow the IDF listening devices and drones etc. to map out potential HamAss activities.
Easier pickings to come?
I trust Israel knows what it is doing!
Israel ok's ceasefire, Hammas will immediately break it. ha.
ammo that they dropped and left behind when they ran from the Israeli troops!!!!
Come on Israel! Give them the knock out punch!
Why? If you've got them on their knees, don't step back and let them up...you know exactly what that will get.
Hamas will violate the cease fire before the first hour is up.
Why do the Israelis never fail to miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity to destroy Hamas once and for all and finally live in peace?
A thousand years ago, the Christian Crusaders of Europe traveled to Israel to free what they considered the Holy Land from its Muslim occupiers, and they fought with an intensity far greater than the current Israelis have exerted trying to free their Jewish homeland from the Muslims of today, who are terrorists who want to throw them into the sea. Why?
Maybe because the majority of modern-day Israelis aren't religious. If they believed the Holy Land was truly Holy, they wouldn't allow it to be desecrated by Muslim rockets and Intifadas. Instead, destroying Hamas would be a sacred act for them. But secularism reigns in Israel today, not God.
Apart from religion, the Jewish State was meant to be a haven for Jews, who had been persecuted in other lands for virtually their entire existence. Why, then, do the Israelis of today not fight back with every weapon at their disposal to free themselves from Muslim terrorists who have made Israel not a haven but often a hell for Jews?
The only reasonable explanation is that the Israelis of the today don't want to merely survive as a Jewish State, they want to survive only as a GOOD Jewish State. Which means they must concentrate on defensive weapons rather than offensive attacks against their enemies. Their military goal to be all shield and no sword. And they've succeeded to an amazing extent.
During the last century, Jewish physicists working at Los Alamos created the greatest offensive weapon in world history — the atomic bomb. And during this century, the Jewish physicists of Israel developed the greatest DEFENSIVE weapon in world history — the Iron Dome.
The Israelis have the same goal that Ronald Reagan had when he tried to develop a missile shield to protect our country, but was undermined by liberals who ridiculed the idea as an unachievable fantasy and mocked it as ''star wars.''
But the Israelis managed to achieve Ronald Reagan's dream, for which we should all be grateful. Enjoy your short rest tomorrow, Israel. Shabbat shalom.
Is that an American rifle at his belly?
The palyps can't resist a cease fire to attack. Al the world will see. Israel is pretty sharp.
This is the second or third cease fire Israel has agreed to and Hamas hasn't honored a single one of them. I don't see them honoring this one either.
I have not seen this frantic blogger cartoon in years... Since early 2009 at least! I was wondering what happened to you.
It is even more appropriate now.

Among the culture-rattling notions generated by Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) were (1) that artists can designate what is art, including ''readymade'' objects like a urinal, a snow shovel, a bottle rack, and (2) replication. Turned off by the growing practice of artists repeating their motifs to create a lucrative ''signature'' style, he gradually reached the paradoxical decision that the way to avoid getting stuck in that groove was to keep to the images he had already made, replicating them literally. The replications, of course, would be works of art in their own right.
Thus challenging the importance of originality in an era of mechanical reproduction, he became ''the first artist in this century consciously and systematically to reproduce his own work,'' writes Francis M. Naumann, a scholar of Dada, Surrealism and Duchamp. Is such a ''first'' truly one of the monumental achievements of our time? To pose the question risks scorn from the devotees of St. Duchamp, as Mike Bidlo has called him, but here goes.
To be sure, this is not to deny the achievement of Mr. Naumann's new book, ''Marcel Duchamp: The Art of Making Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction,'' the first to focus solely on the replications -- paintings, sculptures, ''readymades'' and graphic works -- undertaken by Duchamp over the course of a career that has undeniably had a large effect on the way art is made and viewed today.
The richly researched book (published by Ludion Press in Ghent, Belgium, and distributed here by Harry N. Abrams) is a first-rate scholarly account of this part of Duchamp's work and is bound to be a bible for Duchamp followers.
It has also spawned two shows put together by Mr. Naumann, or rather, two parts of one show, exhibited at two galleries: ''Marcel Duchamp: The Art of Making Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction'' at Achim Moeller Fine Art and ''Apropos of Marcel: The Art of Making Art After Duchamp in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction'' at Curt Marcus. The first show deals with Duchamp's own multiples, the second with works made by four die-hard Duchamp ''appropriationists'': Richard Pettibone, Elaine Sturtevant, Sherrie Levine and Mr. Bidlo.Continue reading the main story
As a lode of Duchampiana, in which puns, ambiguities and playfulness abound, the show at Moeller is pretty hard to beat, yet it by no means covers all of the artist's output. A sardine-packed profusion of more than 150 objects, it ranges from several versions of ''L.H.O.O.Q'' (1919), the ''readymade'' reproduction of Leonardo's Mona Lisa that Duchamp subversively embellished with a mustache and goatee (including a long-lost variation by Francis Picabia, who drew the mustache but forgot the goatee), to the ''Box in a Valise'' of 1966, containing miniature replicas and color reproductions of Duchamp's works arranged in a red leather case.
In between are such assorted items as a recording of puns by Rrose Selavy, Duchamp's alter ego; a photograph (by Alfred Stieglitz, no less) of the urinal, a 1917 readymade that Duchamp signed R. Mutt; copies of Duchamp's Cubist paintings including ''The Bride'' and ''Nude Descending a Staircase,'' the shocker of the 1913 Armory Show (both 1912), and ''Dust Breeding'' (1920), a photograph by Duchamp and Man Ray of dust accumulating on the surface of Duchamp's construction ''Large Glass'' (1915-1923).
The show even includes the etchings of Duchamp's maternal grandfather, Emile-Frederic Nicolle, which provided Duchamp's first motivation to make art. And much, much more.
In short, this painstakingly assembled homage is a feast for Duchamp lovers and an education for those who approach him more warily. But be warned: the smallness of scale of many of the objects demands close attention, and the effort to pack the show as fully as possible makes it seem like a 3-D version of Mr. Naumann's book.
Much stagier, less crowded and therefore more visually interesting is the Duchamp appropriationist show at Curt Marcus. Of the four artists shown here, Mr. Pettibone and Ms. Sturtevant knocked off Duchamp while he was still alive.
In 1964 Mr. Pettibone reproduced the Duchamp ''Bicycle Wheel'' of 1913-14 (a bike wheel affixed to the top of a stool). In later years he refined his Duchamp swipes, making elegant hand-carved maple shovels to echo the crude store-bought one of Duchamp's sight gag, a readymade snow shovel with the title ''In Advance of the Broken Arm'' (1915). And he has recently painted three copies of Duchamp's ''Bride.'' The first was made from a book illustration, the second was copied from the first, the third from the second and so on, generating small differences from one to the other. The series will continue until demand for the painting runs out, Mr. Pettibone promises.
Ms. Sturtevant did her earliest Duchamp homages in 1967. Subtly adjusted from the originals, they include tiny photographs based on Duchamp's snow shovel, and a witty re-enactment of ''Relache,'' a photograph of a nude Duchamp playing Adam to Brogna Perlmutter's nude Eve in a theater revue by Picabia in 1924.
The show's two other participants, Mr. Bidlo and Ms. Levine, came to Duchamp some 20 years later. Mr. Bidlo, who has by now built up a substantial Duchamp repertory, shows here a range of work from the 1980's and 90's. It includes three versions of Duchamp's 1914 ''Bottle Rack,'' a ferocious-looking metal stand for holding bottles; a bicycle wheel entitled ''Not Duchamp'' of 1984, and several renderings, in 2-D and 3-D, of ''Fountain,'' the Duchamp urinal of 1917 that earned the distinction of being rejected by that year's Independents exhibition in Paris.
(One of Mr. Bidlo's porcelain urinals from 1995-96, titled ''Origin of the World,'' sits before his knockoff of Georgia O'Keeffe's painting ''Red Canna'' of 1924, here retitled ''Not O'Keeffe.'')
Ms. Levine contributes the largest and glitziest of the ''Fountain'' replicas, an outsize version in shiny cast bronze from 1995. She has also found a big, beautifully crafted Shakerlike wooden snow shovel from the 1880's and titled it ''In Advance of 'En Avance du,' '' a witty play on Duchamp's title. And she has made a three-dimensional figure of cast frosted glass, placed in an elegant cherry vitrine, of one of the ''Bachelors'' from Duchamp's most famous construction, ''The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even'' (1915-23).
The show raises the inevitable question: Why do some artists eschew more creative endeavors by making a practice -- a fetish, even -- of directly appropriating the work of others? Is it the cachet of the idol's fame? An excessive form of homage? A lack of confidence in one's own subject matter?
Asked about all that a while ago, Ms. Levine, who like her colleagues in the show has extended her appropriations to artists other than Duchamp, said, ''I see my work as a head-on confrontation with the anxiety of influence.'' Not bad. It's an answer that may not assuage the viewer, but one that Duchamp would surely have relished.
''Marcel Duchamp: The Art of Making Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction'' remains at Achim Moeller Fine Art, 167 East 73d Street, Manhattan, (212) 988-4500, through Jan. 15. ''Apropos of Marcel: The Art of Making Art After Duchamp in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction'' is at the Curt Marcus Gallery, 578 Broadway, Soho, (212) 226-3200, through Nov. 6.Continue reading the main story

A great read whether you're new to the genre or a seasoned veteran of horror fiction, Joe Hill's The Fireman is a complex and unsettling book that will leave you with a lot of deep questions but thrilled that you came along for the ride.
The Fireman tells the tale of Harper Grayson, a school nurse who is living in New England when a plague erupts across the world. Dubbed "Dragonscale," this parasite covers its victims in luminescent scales before eventually causing them to combust into a pyre of flames. Although infected and facing her end, Harper finds a new will to survive when she becomes pregnant, and decides that her child will survive even if she does not. She must attempt to survive the dangerous parasite as well as the groups of people who begin hunting and killing the infected to prevent its spread — a group that includes her husband.
This book has a subtle burn — a gentle build of horror that occasionally sparks into a blaze of terror but typically smolders in the background. Hill masterfully uses foreshadowing to build tension and unease, letting you know that disaster waits just ahead but leaving it agonizingly uncertain when and how it will strike. The real terror of this book, though, is not in looming villains or gory scenes, but the darkness in man. The story examines how evil can grow and live in all people, and how all it takes is circumstance to fan it into a flame. Impressively, the story also crafts a believable protagonist who maintains her positivity throughout, remaining strong despite the horrors she faces.
With his latest offering, the son has truly surpassed the father. Joe Hill, son of Stephen King, is one of the freshest and strongest voices in horror fiction. If you enjoyed The Fireman, I'd also recommend NOS4A2, an earlier work of his that also deals with a mother seeking to protect her child. I'd also recommend Stephen King's Cell, which shares a focus on humanity trying to survive after an apocalypse.

Sheikh Mohammed Al-Nujaimi, member of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy in Jeddah, has said that during the next meeting of the academy, a discussion will be held to determine whether drinking cola is permissible after a French study found they contained miniscule traces of alcohol.
"We are consulting with doctors, chemist and other experts on this topic," said Al-Nujaimi. "We will be issuing a final fatwa about this by the beginning of next year when the academy meets."
The Paris-based National Institute of Consumption (INC) has found that more than half the leading colas tested contained minute traces of alcohol. Only the cheap supermarket colas are alcohol free.
The study — published in 60 Million Consumers, a French magazine — revealed that of 19 colas tested, 10, including Coca-Cola and Pepsi, contained 0.001 percent alcohol, or 10mg in every liter. Though this may sound like a large amount, it is actually minute. A person would have to drink thousands of liters of cola to have the same effect as one glass of regular beer.
News of the study spread quickly to the Muslim world via the Internet and the Saudi local press, alarming many.
Following the release of the study, Pepsico and Coca-Cola were quick to issue statements.
"Pepsi products are of the highest quality and meet all local government and regulatory standards for non-alcoholic beverages," Pepsi's head office in Dubai said in a brief statement that did not address the alcohol content alleged by the study.
According to the British newspaper the Daily Mail, Coca-Cola France said: "It is possible that traces of alcohol come from the process" of making Coca Cola according to its secret recipe.
A spokesperson for Pepsi in Europe said, "Some soft drinks can contain minute traces of alcohol because of the ingredients used," but denied that its recipe contains alcohol.
Coca-Cola France's Michel Pepin insisted that Coca-Cola drinks were probably "soft" and recognized as such by the government authorities in the countries they are sold in.
"Furthermore, the Paris Mosque has provided us with a certificate stating that our products can be consumed by the Muslim community in line with the religious opinions of the Committee of the Mosque of Paris," Pepin added.
News of Coca-Cola and Pepsi containing miniscule amounts of alcohol were met with mixed reaction in Saudi Arabia.
Mohammed Al-Suhaili, 38, a Saudi father and government employee, said that he had read about the study in the Arabic press.
"It doesn't really matter to me," he said. "Everyone, including my wife and kids, drinks Pepsi. I've been drinking it for years and never felt anything. So I'm not going to stop now or make my family stop."
Abdulhaq Saleh, 60, a devout Egyptian man who works in the private sector, was alarmed at the news.
"I had no idea," he said. "I won't buy it anymore and I won't let my kids drink it. I don't care that it contains only a tiny amount of alcohol. I will not drink it anymore."
When it was explained to Saleh that alcohol was not one of the ingredients but resulted from the process of making the carbonated cola drinks, he was not moved.
"I'm still not going to buy it anymore," he said.
"I don't let my children drink soft drinks because of all the sugar in them," said Fatima Al-Otaibi, 28, a Saudi housewife. "Now that Pepsi and Coke both admit that they may contain some alcohol, I can tell my children that it has alcohol in it and they won't want to drink it themselves."
"Many things we drink have tiny amounts of alcohol in them, so I am not impressed with this study," said Mohammed Al-Turki, 38, a Saudi business owner. "I think if a more expansive study would be done, it will show that many things contain alcohol traces. This is all propaganda. I don't believe it."
Hani Youssef, 20, a Saudi store stocker, said he is addicted to Pepsi and will not stop drinking it. "Not until there is a fatwa issued by the grand mufti," he said.
Coincidentally, four months ago, the Saudi Consumer Protection Agency began looking into the effects of soft drinks on schoolchildren and called on the Saudi Food and Drug Authority to investigate the possibility of soft drinks containing alcohol.
"In March we began urging fast food restaurants to provide juices instead of soft drinks to children as part of their kid's menu," said Naser Al-Tawaim, president of the Saudi Consumer Protection Association. "We have called the fast food restaurants in the Kingdom in March to encourage them to give fresh juice to kids instead of soft drinks. At the same time, we called on the Food and Drug Authority in the Kingdom to investigate the alcohol content in soft drinks and to clarify the risks to consumers."
Sheikh Mohammed Al-Nujaimi, member of the International Islamic Fiqh Academy in Jeddah, has said that during the next meeting of the academy, a discussion will be held to determine whether drinking cola is permissible after a French study found they contained miniscule traces of alcohol.

Hi guys. We are about to attempt 10H Iron Qon this Friday. As usual I'm trying to get as much information as possible before raid
I've watched Fatboss guide (BTW, best wishes to them...). So my main question is how do you guys normally deal with first quilen? In Fatboss they recommend having range soak 2 stacks, then melee soak the rest 7-8. But they also mentioned normal 3 group strat works too but may have a bit trouble. Our melee group is: [blood dwarf dk, frost dk, ret pally, MW monk]. So yea just wanna ask how you guys do it and have a bit idea about which strat to choose for us.
And if there's any other tips for the fight I appreciate too
Thank you!

Easing the Copyright Challenge
Copyright approval of classroom materials, particularly for online courses, is a major issue for colleges: Many faculty members (if they think about it at all) view it as a hassle, and college lawyers and academic technologists at some campuses lay awake at night worrying about lawsuits from publishers challenging their professors' failure to seek permission for works they've used.
Today, the Copyright Clearance Center is announcing a new effort aimed at making it easier for professors (and hence their institutions) to ensure that they are complying with copyright law governing the use of academic materials, by integrating the copyright permission process directly into the software colleges use to build and manage online courses.
The Copyright Permissions Building Block, which the clearance center is offering through a partnership with Blackboard, will allow professors at the 1,200 colleges that use Blackboard's course management system, to automatically tap into the copyright center's authorization process (which about 1,000 colleges use) as they build their courses, to make it easier for faculty members to get permission to use the materials they choose.
Officials at the Copyright Clearance Center -- which was chartered by Congress in the late 1970s to serve as an intermediary between publishers and other content creators and businesses and academic institutions that seek to use that content – said the organization hopes to work with the makers of other course management systems to design similar functionality.
The idea of integrating copyright permissioning directly into the course-building process struck analysts of higher education technology and campus technology officials as a promising development.
"In a time when paying attention to copyright is kind of a hot topic, Copyright Clearance Center has proactively worked with Blackboard to develop this very highly integrated tool to help faculty members register the works they're using," said Cathy Burdt, lead analyst for postsecondary solutions at
Eduventures, an education research firm. Burdt described that registration process now as "inconsistent" from campus to campus and even among individual professors on a particular campus – "sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't," she said.
"By providing a utility that is integrated, you're taking the guesswork away somewhat," she added. "That's a net gain for publishers who want to protect their copyrights, professors who want to use a wide variety of works, and universities that are trying to build business processes to manage tasks such as these."
The University of Texas System uses Blackboard for the UT TeleCampus through which it offers all online courses for the system's 15 campuses. Compared to many institutions, Texas is highly aware of and aggressive about copyright issues; it requires all professors who offer distance courses to go through a copyright "crash course" designed by Georgia K. Harper, a lawyer who oversees intellectual property for the Texas system and is a national expert on academic copyright.
But while most of its professors "do a really good job" fulfilling the requirement for ensuring that they have met copyright guidelines, says Darcy Hardy, director of the UT TeleCampus, "some of them skip it, thinking, 'This is so small, no one will ever notice.' " The hassle of identifying who owns the copyright is often a deterrent, she adds.
TeleCampus officials will typically uncover the oversight when they are reviewing the course, Hardy says, but copyright issues continue to concern many of those in academe who are responsible for ensuring compliance. "One of these days somebody is going to get their butt slammed and we'll all pay attention," Hardy says.
That's why the Copyright Clearance Center's arrangement with Blackboard has appeal, Hardy says. "Having a building block that will do this will help with liability issues, both for professors and for us. Being able to access it directly from within Blackboard is going to be killer."
