text: Hi everyone, I'd like to do something about the situation we currently have where people's email addresses are currently shown on both the list archives, and on news. I have talked to a number of people about this situation over the last few weeks, and I have not been able to find any form of concensus through private discussions, hence, I'd like to see what people here think. First part of this email is about address munging in news, and the second part is about address munging in our archives. 1. Address munging in news A number of you will be aware that Marco d'Itri, currently runs a set of mail <--> news gateways, that replicate everything which is posted on some debian lists to usenet, and vice-versa. I have recently talked to Marco about how much munging of addresses should be done on the gateway between the two. Currently, all emails go through basically unmodified as far as email addresses go. A little while back, the Swen virus/worm started making its appearance. One of the ways in which Swen tries to spread is by reading email addresses on usenet, and emailing those addresses a message entitled something similar to "Microsoft security update". Because of the news gateway, there is a 10-day window in which all posters to a list which is replicated to usenet, will receive those messages. If you check your email infrequently, this rapidly becomes a problem as you get flooded with a number of viruses. While the Swen virus is what provided my motivation to ask for a change, I think that a solution is needed even after that virus is gone. My main concern is that while most developers are able to cope with a high influx of incoming emails, a number of people on debian-user-* lists aren't. They either have hotmail or similar accounts, or very restricted ISP provided accounts. If you are also on a modem, downloading those viruses can be quite a problem. While there are a number of technical solutions, most of them are beyond the immediate reach of a new debian user. As I see it, we have two solutions to this problem. We can either munge all addresses in the "To", "From" and maybe "Reply-To" fields, or stop mirroring the -user-* lists to usenet. Personally, I'm in favour of munging all addresses in those three fields before they go out on the news gateway, with an optional header which can be added if people wish their headers to stay in the clear. I'd like this to be done for all lists as well. Ideally, we would hide the address by replacing the domain part of the email address with something along the lines of "hidden.invalid". If we decide that no automatic munging of email addresses should occur, we should seriously reconsider the use of the news gateway on the user lists. Marco believes that this is not acceptable, as it would make the gateway less useful for searching, and more difficult to use. He does not believe that it would be that useful. People I have talked to about this subject, tend to vary wildly in opinion about exactly what, if anything, needs to be done. I'm looking for some sort of public yet polite discussion on this topic. =-) *crosses fingers* 2. Address munging on list archives This is related to part 1. Basically, people have complained in the past about all email addresses being public in our list archives. Should we attempt to hide or disguise addresses in some way? What mechanisms if any should we provide for people to get email addresses. Why should people be able to get someone's email address from the list archives? I would like to know what people think about this issue, if only so we can mark the related bugs on the BTS as wontfix. ;-) Cheers, Pasc

Jackets Host Canucks in Season Openerby Staff Writer / Columbus Blue Jackets
Last season, Pascal Leclaire split Blue Jackets goaltending duties with Marc Denis, who was dealt to Tampa Bay over the summer for Fredrik Modin.
His counterpart in the net, Roberto Luongo, was wearing a different jersey for a different team in a different conference, being dealt from Florida to Vancouver this summer.
The man that can say he coached them both, Clint Malarchuk, now works for Gerard Gallant's staff in Columbus after being the Panthers' goaltending coach in 2005-06.
The trio's storyline will play out on the ice at Nationwide Arena as the Jackets host the Vancouver Canucks at 7 p.m. on Friday night.
The Canucks will open their season on Thursday night, facing the Detroit Red Wings before concluding the back-to-back at Columbus on Friday. Vancouver suffered through a very disappointing 2005-06 campaign, finishing ninth in the Western Conference, three points behind eventual conference champion the Edmonton Oilers.
As a result, there was a major overhaul in Vancouver, dismissing coach Marc Crawford and replacing him with Alain Vigneault. Of course there was the five-player trade that sent right wing Todd Bertuzzi to the Florida Panthers for Luongo. The Canucks also did not resign D Ed Jovanovski and RW Anson Carter.
One mainstay for the Canucks is left wing Marcus Naslund, who has led the team in scoring for seven straight seasons. The swift Naslund scored 32 goals and added 47 assists in 81 games last season.
The Canucks loss, however, turned out to be the Jackets gain as Carter signed with the Jackets just before training camp. Last year, Carter skated with the Sedin twins and set a career high with 33 goals for the Canucks.
On his left wing will be the aforementioned Modin, a two-time 30-goal scorer, whose acquisition cleared the path for Leclaire to be the No. 1 goaltender in CBUS. Leclaire, last season, posted an 11-15-3 mark with a 3.23 GAA, recording 40 or more saves six times, which was tied with Mike Richter for the most by a rookie goaltender since 1990-91.
Most importantly, the Jackets boast a healthy Rick Nash, who was sidelined for most of the first half of the season with ankle and knee injuries but still managed to score 31 goals.
The Jackets went 1-3-0 vs. Vancouver in 2005-06, winning 6-5 on Jan. 24. The Jackets are 5-13-3 in the all-time series vs. the Canucks, including 3-5-2 at home.
As always, Huntington Green Seats will be available for tonight's game and every game during the 2006-07 season. The Huntington Green Seats are 250 seats that are priced at $10 for every home game this season and are available only at the Nationwide Arena Ticket Office, two hours prior to game time. For tonight's game each person may purchase a maximum of four seats.

Located in the North Portland Piedmont neighborhood, home of Portland Community College's Cascade Campus, the North Portland library, Jefferson High School, and the Peninsula Park rose garden., you'll find what was once the historic Little Chapel of the Chimes (circa 1932) has been transformed into a community gathering spot, open daily for lunch, dinner and later on.Step inside the Pub and take a seat at the mahogany wood tugboat-shaped bar, or cozy up next to the crackling fireplace or Round Oak wood stove. If outdoors is what you're looking for, have a seat out on the front or back patio, where you'll find firepits, lanterns and a place for you and your pup to relax and enjoy. History, art and craftsmanship is in abundance in the renovated space, with original work mixing with new additions. While you're here, take a closer look at the intricate ironwork throughout the property, fashioned by talented craftsman O.B. Dawson in the early 1930s. Look familiar? Perhaps because Dawson's work is also showcased at Timberline Lodge, the University of Oregon and Oregon State. Look up and you'll see the pub's central chandelier and wall sconces, which are original to the building and were fabricated in 1932 by Fred Baker, who like Dawson, went on to do work for Timberline Lodge's initial construction. And you might notice the chimes on the wall. They were installed around 1939 and were refurbished as part of McMenamins' renovation. They are played as a component of the old vaudeville theater organ that sits in an adjoining room. The Chapel Pub is also home to McMenamins company headquarters on the second floor.

You can tell autumn is at hand at the Disneyland Resort — not by the weather or even by the Halloween decorations, but by the return of park refurbishments.
Two small rides are closed in Fantasyland, the circus train and storybook boats. But the closure that will hurt during Halloween Time is the Indiana Jones Adventure, which part employees told me wouldn't be back in operation until early December.
But fall is also bringing new things to the park, such as a little shop called Pirates League in New Orleans Square.
It gives little kids fantasy makeovers along the lines of the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Fantasyland, only here kids come out looking like buccaneers instead of princesses and princes. Packages are $29.95-$34.95, according to the Disney Parks blog.
The Pirates League staff is fun, chatting up passers-by in a kind of Captain Jack Sparrow lingo.
It is located at the Court of Angels, a courtyard that's sometimes used for meet-and-greets, near the Blue Bayou restaurant.

Decision Time For Derbs
Blackburn Rovers striker Matt Derbyshire now has to decide what to do with his future and where this lies.
Derbyshire returned to Ewood Park before the season ended after his successful loan spell with Olympiakos and the Greek side are understood to be preparing a £3 million deal to take him back to Greece permanently. Sam Allardyce seems prepared to let Derbyshire leave if the price is right for Rovers but Derbs has to decide what to do, and a lot of this depends on what his first-team chances at Ewood will be like next season.
Derbyshire told the Lancashire Telegraph: "If I am going to play football here then I will be more than happy to stay here, why wouldn't I be?
"But if I am going to be playing more football there then I will be going there.
"I am in this profession to play football, not sit on a subs' bench or play for the reserves. I am at the age now where it is very important I do play football. I have to do that for my career.
"I have been at Blackburn for a long time and I love the club. The fans have been superb to me and still are. But I have to go where is best for my career."
The 23-year-old is a Rovers fan and as such he loves the club but he is also a footballer and unlike many these days isn't happy to just sit around and pick up money for doing nothing, Derbs wants to play and that isn't looking that good for him with Rovers, however, as much as the striker admits he enjoyed his time in Greece and would move to Olympiakos on a permanent basis he says he honestly doesn't know what his next move will be yet but staying at Ewood seems his favoured option (but ONLY if he'll be involved.)
He added: "It was brilliant. I went there to play football, that was the main thing, but I also got the chance to learn a different language and a different culture.
"You don't often get that chance in life but I did and I am really grateful to Olympiakos.
"As a striker I look to score goals, that is all I have ever looked to do, and if I can help the team win games then I am doing my job. It is as simple as that.
"Having said that though I have enjoyed coming back to Ewood and seeing the lads play. Let's be honest, this is still my team.
"I don't know what my future holds and that is being entirely honest. I know Olympiakos are interested but that is about it at the moment."
Personally I still think that Big Sam made this decision for Derbs (and made things pretty clear about his future) when he allowed him to leave for him loan spell in Greece. I'd love Derbs to stay, play and score regularly for Rovers next season but I'm not convinced he'd get the opportunities that he craves?

I've been nauseous nearly every day of my life since I was 13. I am now 20. There are periods when it isn't too bad, and periods where I have to be on Gravol constantly. I always have Gravol with me and it's rare for more than a couple of days to go by without me taking one. I do not vomit, I believe this is for several reasons:
1. I am emetophobic and will do anything to not vomit - including not eating for days and taking two Gravol at a time. (it's ok as long as I don't exceed 8 pills in 24 hours)
2. I actually have an extremely strong stomach when push comes to shove, I've had food poisoning several times and only vomited from it once.
I've seen gastroenterologists and my mother is a GP. I've been diagnosed with a motility disorder and IBS, which I think are reasonable diagnoses and they seem to be true. I'm on a medication for the motility disorder and I have noticed a difference, just not in the nausea. It just helps with stomach pain after eating. I've treated for the IBS using hot compresses and Ovol, because the main problem I get is cramps and gas.
I've been tested for lactose intolerance, celiac, and a whole bunch of other food issues. I came up negative for everything, although my allergenist tells me I'm definitely lactose intolerant even if the test was negative. I've been tested for thyroid disorders and screened for cancer, ulcers and Crohn's.
I haven't had anything that made the nausea go away, so I thought I'd just throw this out on the internet and see if anyone had any inventive ideas. Um, lots of heads are better than a dozen? :p
Thank you!

Athletic director Paul Giel said Holtz, who recently replaced Gerry Faust at Notre Dame, would be ``relieved of his duties as head football coach at Minnesota immediately, so that he can devote full time to his new position at Notre Dame. I have met with Lou`s current coaching staff, and despite the void left by his departure, they have indicated that they are going ahead with preparations for the Independence Bowl game with Clemson with every intention of winning.``

Well I finally acquired the State Championship jersey that has eluded me on both mountain and road yesterday in Prescott, Arizona. I won the State Finals race in the marathon and wrapped up the Championship series with a second and three first place finishes. It was a difficult race, 38 miles, with lots of climbing including a long technical climb with multiple hike a bike sections and loose technical descents with water bars and washes. Lots of crashes yesterday (including me!). To make things more difficult it was also unusually hot into the 90's.
I had started out the series on an alloy Rush. I originally purchased a Rush 600 with our team deal and began upgrading the bike as I could afford to. I had a chance to try a Scalpel team that belonged to a team mate of mine, loved the lighter weight and climbing ability of the bike and we worked out a swap as he was selling the bike and was happy to sell it as a Rush.
Here is the bike as I raced it yesterday complete with Prescott dust. Planned upgrades include a SI hollowgram crankset,carbon bars and DT swiss rims with tubeless conversion strips to take about a pound off the bike.
Frame-2005 Scalpel Team-medium
Fork-Lefty Carbon SL, SI integrated stem
Wheels-Mavic 819 on DT swiss 240 rear and Lefty Front
Tires-Maxxis Crossmark UST
Cranks-Race Face Deus with FSA ceramic bottom bracket

Brakes-Formula K24
Pedals-Eggbeaters with short ti spindles
Handlebar-Salsa pro moto alloy

I always try to land CoD after I conflag, as pyroclasm is a really nice buff to have when doom goes up the first time.
My initial "rotation": immo, corr (i have 2pce plagueheart still and read this was actually a dps increase - if not use an incin in here to account for the dead time between immo cast and the conflag ability able to be used) conflag, CoD, CB, incin..etc
The priorities same as above posts. 'Cept for the poster who said he/she clips immo - IF you had a dmg proc up when you first applied immo you will not be able to over-write the dot portion making the cast wasted so i try to not clip immo (even though sometimes i reapply during a backdraft)
Fel Synergy I find a must for 25man raids to keep the imp alive.
I opted for getting imp soul leech (even though my raid has replenishment cause it lets me use a glyph other than life tap - and thus save gcd's I don't need to use because of the imp soul leech)
I don't find it necessary as yet to max out the threat talent - our tanks our excellent, i time shatters well and we have several pallies ready to salv.
Shadowfury, I can see how it would be useful at XT...but we have mages for nova and shamans with that rooting totem etc in the raid and it seems quite situational compared to say demonic power cause you are always using the imp in this spec.

Penguin defecates on state Senate floor
By Jack Brammer
A penguin pooped Tuesday on the Senate floor near the desk of Senate President David Williams.
The penguin, from Newport Aquarium, was in the chamber as Senate President Pro Tem Katie Stine, R-Southgate, presented Senate Resolution 92, a measure to honor the aquarium for its contributions to the "aquatic world in general through its stewardship of sea life and penguins."
Williams, presiding over the chamber, interrupted Stine to inform her that the penguin "just defecated on the floor." An aquarium employee placed the penguin on the upper part of Williams' desk after it did its official business and while Stine finished with her resolution.

A mother-of-four attributes her amazing 168lbs weight loss to a bet she made with her late grandmother. Karen Sharpe, 38, was around 370lbs and was about to join the waiting list for a NHS gastric band procedure when her 82-year-old grandmother Betty urged her to forget surgery and lose weight through tried-and-tested dieting. Mrs Sharpe, of Leicester, was challenged to lose 70lbs with the promise that if she achieved the milestone, her grandmother would pay her £1,000.
[contentblock id=5 img=adsense.png]
Four years down the line, Mrs Sharpe now weighs 12st 10lb, having slimmed down an impressive ten dress sizes. She said: 'I owe my grandmother so much. I'm so relieved that I chose to get it done the hard way rather than take the tempting surgery option. 'Friends I know who have had surgery have had a difficult time adjusting to life after the operation. But I'm stronger, fitter and more like myself than ever before. 'If it wasn't for nan, I don't know what sort of shape I'd be in today.'
Mrs Sharpe, who now works as a Weight Watchers group assistant, ballooned to a dress size 32 after falling into a cycle of comfort eating at a young age. She said: 'I was teased for being overweight at school, and that made me want to eat more. I was drawn to processed savoury foods like Pot Noodles.' Mrs Sharpe, who is married to floor layer David Sharpe, 35, and who has four children, Natasha, eight, Emily, 11, Nathan, 13, and Megan 14, saw her weight spin further out of control following the birth of her first child.
She said: 'My weight went up and up after each one. I concentrated on being a mum, so didn't pay too much attention to what I was eating myself. Although I wasn't diagnosed, I believe I suffered with a touch of post-natal depression, which pushed me back towards comfort eating.' In the spring of 2010, facing troubling backache and chronic fatigue, Mrs Sharpe turned to her GP for help.
She said: 'I was approved to join the NHS waiting list for a gastric band. I was happy, because I'd tried dieting and nothing had worked. I knew that if I didn't make a big change, then I was well on my way to being housebound. 'When I told my nan the good news, she said quite matter-of-factly that I shouldn't have the surgery. Karen's grandmother Betty, here with her husband Jack, died at the age of 83, never having seen the full extent of Karen's success that she inspired
Karen's grandmother Betty, here with her husband Jack, died at the age of 83, never having seen the full extent of Karen's success that she inspired 'She had worked as a nurse and knew that invasive surgery was nothing to be trifled with. She knew how long it took to recover from major procedures. 'She told me I could lose weight through hard work if I really wanted to. She said she believed in me, and promised to pay me £1,000 if I managed to lose five stone in weight. 'It really set me thinking. While my NHS nutritionist was telling me to enjoy myself and eat whatever food I liked because I was due to get a gastric band, my nan was advising me to be sensible and become healthier. I turned away from the surgery route and opened myself up to encouragement from nan instead.'

Taking 6 months of Doxy to SEA
Taking 6 months of Doxy to SEA
I've just gone to the chemist to get my 6 months worth of Doxy for malaria prophylaxis, and have come back with a huge bag full! I'm going to need to take them out of their boxes and just take the strips, I will have about 22 strips, will this be a problem, or do I need to keep them in their original boxes? I will have a copy of the script. If I do need to keep them in their original boxes I will have to figure something else out because they are going to need their own backpack!

I took a six month trip to Asia several years ago and was also on Doxy. I had no problem taking all my meds out of their boxes and was never questioned when crossing borders. You should be fine as long as you have a copy of the prescriptions just in case.

You shouldn't have a problem, but considering tearing off the front of the box and carrying that with you (along with the script).

I'm just wondering whether taking an antibiotic for 6 months is a good choice. I spent quite a few years in S.E. Asia and have rarely seen cases of malaria.Doxycycline has side effects as well. A friend of mine was violently sick for days until she realised it was the Doxy that was causing it. I'm sure you'd be better off with sprays and a net unless you plan on spending a lot of time in the countryside. As far as carrying it is concerned the antibiotic is freely available without prescription so no problems.

I agree, sayadian. I carried around a few months supply once, but never actually used any. I hated the idea of taking them, and in the end, you have to protect from mosquito bites anyhow because of the greater risk of Dengue Fever in places. Since the OP has already bought them, then bring them in case you plan to enter a high risk zone - but I wouldn't be taking them every day. You only need to start 2 days before entering a high risk area - and I don't believe there are that many high risk areas along the standard tourist trails.

Certainly take them out of their boxes. I don't see taking the prescription is necessary - it's available over the counter in SE Asia anyway. I would agree with others - I've just got malarials for Burma - but I wouldn't bother for large areas of SEAsia e.g. Malaysia, Thailand,Bali

I took roughly that amount of doxy with me last year and had no problem. Just packed a "lunch box" full of the strips and includes a couple of the flattened boxes they came in. I didn't have a script.
Crossed a Lao border, Thailand, Hong Kong, Malaysia and China without issue.
I still have most of the doxy sat in my room haha

With 38 cinemas throughout the UK, United Cinemas International (UCI) is a dream property client, and DLA is the main firm that has benefited from the company's expansionist strategy.
UCI, a joint venture between Paramount and Universal, took space in Manchester's recently redeveloped Printworks building, the former Daily Mirror site, on which DLA, led by property partner Anita Weightman, advised.
UCI has used DLA for over five years, after general counsel and senior vice-president of business affairs Justin Ribbons joined the company. "The reason why," says Ribbons, "is that we had a media lawyer working on these deals before, who saw it more as a media matter than to do with property."
However, he candidly refuses to name which firm was retained by UCI prior to his arrival.
Since UCI is based in the North West, it ventured no further than its doorstep to find a firm that could provide specialist property advice on the building of large multiplex cinemas."There are some London property firms that could handle it, but we knew there wouldn't be a difference in service. We looked beyond the firms' fees and at the operations behind and found a firm that we thought we could work with. I wanted someone that could focus on the job because I wanted to be more hands-off."
One of DLA's first pieces of work for UCI was announced in 1996, involving the construction of a 12-screen multiplex in Cardiff Bay, which was part of a programme to invest £100m in the opening of six multiplexes across the UK. As well as being in on the Printworks development, Richardson Developments was the company behind this scheme.
Interestingly, DLA also acted for Cooperative Wholesale Society and Cooperative Insurance Society on the Printworks deal, led by the firm's Manchester-based managing partner Roy Beckett. DLA had its work cut out on the Printworks deal. Ribbons says that UCI had to agree upfront to take a place in the development before the deal could be completed. This meant completing the transaction in just one week. "On the deal, [Richardson] needed it to be funded for it to be assured from a financially viable point of view," he says.
Although UCI uses a variety of firms, including Baker & McKenzie, CMS Cameron McKenna, Denton Wilde Sapte and Eversheds, its relationship with DLA is key. Ribbons says: "The construction of our cinemas is complicated – it's an extremely detailed piece of hi-fi, and that's why I like DLA. We have a relationship, since each time we use them we don't have to teach them all over again.
"We live in an age of communication, but it's nice to sit down and be able to go through documentation with your firm. The service from regional firms has improved, so you're getting a London service from a Manchester firm."
Harvey Nichols
The imminent arrival of Harvey Nichols to the Shambles, one of Manchester's largest sites of redevelopment, has gone a long way in securing unending interest in the region. It has also served to add another piece of work to Norton Rose's portfolio, since the firm is the retailer's long-term legal adviser.
Norton Rose has acted for Harvey Nichols since 1996, when it floated on the London Stock Exchange. The float was hugely oversubscribed that April and the retailer announced that the investment gained from its listing would be used for further expansion.
Since then it has opened in Leeds and is opening a smaller store in Birmingham; it is also set to launch in Edinburgh next year and Manchester will follow in 2003. Norton Rose has had a hand in all but one of these transactions – the retailer took advice from Ashurst Morris Crisp for the planning and development work of the Birmingham store.
Finance director at Harvey Nichols Clive Morton says: "The only reason we went to Ashursts was that we had so much work going on we thought it was not appropriate to use the same firm all the time, and to introduce a degree of competitiveness."
The Shambles was badly damaged by the terrorist bomb attack on the city in 1996, and Harvey Nichols' impending launch gives the area a boost in terms of image – something that both Harvey Nichols and Prudential, which provided the store's 198-year rent-free lease, recognised. The deal, led by Norton Rose property partner Peter Burrows, secured a commitment by Harvey Nichols, before Prudential signed on the dotted line, for a long-term lease on the site from owner Manchester City Council.
The transaction also included a fixed-price deal between Prudential and Harvey Nichols on the construction of the store, for which the retailer will pay out more than £24m. Coupled with this, Norton Rose has also had to grapple with a matrix of property matters because the store will have a shared access and a shared loading bay with the mammoth Marks & Spencer store nearby.
While the company has plans to extend its reach over the UK by opening a host of new stores in the future, there will not be any run-off work for local firms. Morton is adamant that he will continue to use either Norton Rose or Ashursts for property
matters, simply because the relationship is there already.
But the fact that the store retained space in the region will ensure the take-up of space on the site, indirectly raising the hope of property work for local lawyers as companies take space in the Shambles.

The Resurrection of the Amateur Expert
This really, really upsets a lot of museum people. They sputter that it will lead to museums being purveyors of popular pabulum and perpetuators of misconception, brokering consensus rather than delivering truth.
But truly, I think in many ways presenting this as a new thing in museums is setting up a straw man. Isn't it actually a long circle back to the culture that gave birth to many museums in the U.S. at the end of the 19th century? Many of these museums were founded by "amateurs" in the best sense of the word—individuals deeply learned in their fields, but who were not paid for acquiring or using that knowledge. I was vividly reminded of this last week at the Academy of Natural Science of Philadelphia, which was founded by "gentleman naturalists."
Note the "gentleman." Herein lies the rub—most of these amateurs were credentialed by their wealth, rather than their training or erudition (though they had plenty of that, too.) Today's museum professionals have little wealth (unless they inherit it) or job security (unlike their tenured brethren in academe) and so they rely heavily on their educational credentials and professional authority to derive their status in society.
Amateurs never went away—they faded in importance as various fields (art, science, museology) became professionalized. Perhaps they dwindled in number for a time as mass produced culture (delivered via radio, TV and the internet) supplanted self-generated content—I am not sure. My father certainly was a passionate amateur in the best 19th century tradition. Born in 1919 to the classic penniless immigrant Jewish family that fled Russia during the Cossack pogroms of 1905, he studied hard and achieved the American dream of becoming a successful tax attorney, which he found financially rewarding but intellectually unfulfilling. So he became a self-trained scholar in archaeoastronomy and biblical studies, publishing in peer-reviewed journals in both fields. I was, early on, trained up as his designated translator in French (for his studies of Megalithic sites in Brittany) and ancient Greek (background for his exploration of the intersection of classical myths with stories in the old and new testaments.) As a teenager I found this to be an enormous and unreasonable burden, but now I treasure this side-effect of his passions.
Part of my father's success in his amateur endeavors came from his utter confidence that anybody, no matter how famous or prominent in their field, would be willing to talk to him, based on their shared interests. This resulted in friendships or collegial relationships that encompassed Yigal Yadin (one time deputy minister of Israel but trained as an archaeologist), Immanual Velikovsky (the somewhat nutty Russian émigré who believed that Noah's flood was caused by a proto-Nova explosion on the planet Saturn) and Charles Hapgood (regarding the authenticity or lack thereof of the Vinland Map—historic cartography was another of my father's interests.) I remember playing under Buckminster Fuller's desk as a little child as my father and he discussed utopian architecture.
In my experience many people have such enthusiasm for some subject—and such pools of self-assembled expertise. But few have the chutzpah to waltz into a museum and ask for access to the collections (as my father regularly did at the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale, to my deep mortification as an undergraduate—he always insisted I come along.) His position was that the collections were there for the public. He was right, and in fact the curator was always happy to accommodate him, but how many members of the public know they can do that?
One great quote I heard at the recent AAM annual meeting was "the future is already here, it is just unevenly distributed" (usually attributed to the science fiction writer William Gibson.) With regard to the need for museums to welcome and validate the "expert amateur" this is certainly true. Cincinnati Museum Center, where I worked before coming to AAM, relies heavily on amateur experts in collecting, preparing and caring for its collections particularly in natural history (cleaning fossils, reassembling potsherds, stuffing dead birds with cotton to create study specimens) and history of technology (c.f. the infamous "machine tool guys" who used to be machinists at Cincinnati Milacron.) There were pockets of snobbery (notably in the archives, where staff griped about amateur genealogists taking up their time) but on the whole, if you were "in the know" you had not only had access to the collections, you were in imminent danger of being press-ganged by the overworked staff.
So the question isn't whether museums can behave like this, it is how to get more museums to behave like this, and let people know that they behave like this. I think there are segments of the museum community that have not adopted this culture of access and community input (notably fine art). And there are masses of knowledgeable, talented amateurs who, unlike my father, don't realize that they can breeze in, ask to see the stuff and pick the brains of the certified experts.
I think the most productive way to pick away at these issues—museum culture and public image—is to identify and solicit input from potential collaborators. One such community is historic costumers and re-enactors. These folks have a strong interest in creating and wearing clothing from previous centuries. And in the process of reconstructing how clothing was made and worn, they generate loads of information, from the properties of materials to the influence of the resulting design on behavior. (I am assured you don't really know what a pavan looked like until you see it attempted in corset and historically accurate footwear…)
Many historic costumers gathered this past summer in Florence at the Costume Colloquium: A Tribute To Janet Arnold where they mingled with everyone from museum curators and academics to amateur enthusiasts who go to academic conferences for fun. In addition to networking, they explored a variety of themes including the status of current costume research and education and the use of Janet Arnold's historic costume patterns in theater and re-enactment. Through a friend who attended the conference (a fencing buddy, by the way, not a museum colleague) I have invited some of those attendees to comment on this post to start the discussion. So, tell us guys—what is your experience with accessing museum collections and expertise? What do you want from us and what can you contribute to our work? Do you encounter any barriers to getting what you need or giving what you can? Are there any museums that set good examples of how to make their resources accessible, and harness your expertise?

Hmmmm... In 1994 I took an American fossil sample to the Oxford University Museum of Natural History in England for identification. They took my sample and told me they'd have an answer for me in four weeks. Sure enough, I went back four weeks later and they had a brief, written report for me about the sample, along with some xeroxed pages from a text explaining my fossils. I was bowled over that they'd go to that kind of trouble for my rinky-dink fossil. And me being an American at that! It wasn't the same as seeing their reference collections in person, but that kind of interaction with a museum expert certainly added to my appreciation not only of the fossils themselves, but also of the *study* of fossils. Perhaps this is really what we want museum-goers to understand? Going past appreciating the "stuff" to appreciate the larger context behind the stuff? Now to figure out how to provide this kind of access to increased numbers of people...

As a culture, we have become far more participation-oriented. The hitch is that, for young adults and teens, they simply expect, expect to be able to lend their voice to the dialog. After all, they have been doing it their whole life.
Yet I do not get the sense that young adults want to take that expertise away from the experts. Just like your father (great story, btw . . . and Buckminster Fuller??), they want to engage in a dialog with the experts.
Doctors have been dealing with this issue for years. With WebMD and other sites, people can figure out what is wrong, even self-diagnose. But guess what? They still go to the doctor for confirmation (and the prescription drugs, ok, you got me there). They want that expert to say "yes, you are right," or "no, it is this." But going to the doctor has become more of a conversation of two equals than the dictatorial doctor.
Similarly, curators can expect the same. There is still respect for education and training, but the relationship people are seeking out is a conversation between equals versus the authority figure and passive consumer.
So, from my view, I think curators that welcome the conversation and use it to build relevance will be the ones who are well poised to thrive in a new, dialog-based museum (where objects are still incredibly important ... but that is another topic!).

First, for Allie, I know that kind of experience - our Ask Joan of Art service at the Smithsonian American Art Museum answers some 2-300 questions on art every month like that - it still blows me away, and delights me, that people get such a service from us!
To the point of the post, though, I just wanted to add that it seems the conversation about 'amateurs' vs 'experts' has become far too black & white. What about all the experts out there, producing content about our collections, which is perfectly well researched and credentialed? Beth Harris from Smarthistory.org asks this question in a podcast on MuseumMobile: SmartHistory content is created by 2 PhDs in art history, one head of the department at FIT, the other head of digital learning at MoMA. They have produced hours of great material on art in dozens of museums; why aren't museums availing themselves of this great, FREE content?
Maybe mixing up their in-house, expert content with vetted third party content would be a good way for curators and museums to find a bit of gray and ease into the whole 'user-generated content' thing a bit more gently.

As a big-time proponent of collaboration and crowd-sourcing, I only have a few things to add to the excellent comments here. First, like Nancy, I think curators should consider their roles as "both-and" rather than "either-or." Subject matter expertise, however shared, is validated by the sharing, and I think there is a place (and a need) for curators both to lecture and to help filter. These should be iterative activites, a vital part of the SME's ongoing life-long exploration and research that loops back again to re-engagement with other SMEs and the public at large (as we should remember that other SMEs are part of the public at large).
I've already posted extensively a year ago and a bit more recently some of my thoughts about the obligations and derivations of museum authority and credibility (mission, accuracy, and an ongoing commitment to excellence in both), so I won't repeat my points here. Suffice it to say that I think the reputation and recognition of subject matter experts is forever in the process of validation and renewal, a process for which ongoing public engagement and dialogue is prerequisite. It benefits no one for SMEs' voices to be silent, drowned out, or worse, to issue where no one else exists or are interested in hearing them. The very metaphor of social exchange is built on a concept of reciprocity, and I find others more receptive to information who are themselves first listened to.
The last thing I would add is something that has been said previously by others in many other contexts, but I think bears repeating here, namely that no one institution can possibly maintain a monopoly on knowledge. To exclude amateur (or even other professional) SMEs and mere know-it-somes from participating in this quest would be ironically anti-intellectual. Whether in the guise of Wikipedia, the Oxford English Dictionary, the open source software movement, or our taxpayer-funded and corporate-created infrastructure is that properly motivated and organized people can accomplish far more collectively than they can individually. The bigger the collective, the greater the potential becomes for likely achievement.
I think museums have a tremendous role to play in providing not only independent iotae of new knowledge, but also precisely that motivation and organization that facilitates its (gotta say it) increase and diffusion.
(And Kathe, may I be the first here to suggest your question is worthy of a whole separate blog post, as I suspect many of us have specific ways in mind beginning with parlaying inclusion Web 2.0's social tools into standard museum publishing practice!)

This subject gives me goose bumps! (The good kind.) I have been very fortunate in my dealings with both the Phoenix Art Museum (PAM) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met). I was so surprised at how graciously my requests to see a set of military bases were accepted by the Met. I got to take pictures and even got permission to post them on my personal website.
I was so flattered when the PAM asked me to do several presentations, one on Elizabethan costuming and one on costuming from the Dutch Golden Age. It was sooooo much fun! Because of my participation I was invited to a private lunch when the Tudor Tailors did one of their presentations. It was funny to listen to Ninya and Jane because, you could tell they were still a little shocked at their own success and felt like they were getting extra special treatment.
The PAM realized that with these sorts of presentations they are expanding interest in the museum to the huge re-enactment community. My local re-enactment group was invited to show up in Medieval garb for a gala opening. It was very successful.
I think this attitude is affecting the way people view education in general. It is almost as if we have come full circle. People are beginning to see that a college education is not the only way to learn a trade, and not the only way one can get into a profession which earns a healthy salary. Electricians, plumbers, and mechanics are good examples. If your body can take it – horseshoeing –those guys are earning between $90 and $300 a horse, a process which must be done every six to eight weeks!
I remember the days before all companies had IT groups. Some of us just learned about computers as we went along and were the seeds of those groups. For awhile it looked as if the IT field would go the route of most professions; you had to have a four year degree. Now we see a degree from a technical school becoming acceptable.
I worked in nuclear power most of my life. That industry has finally realized that it is much easier to license and train a Reactor Operator (RO) who has been through the Navy nuclear power program, than someone who just has a college degree.
I held a position created after Three Mile Island called the Shift Technical Advisor. I got this job not because I had been through the Navy nuclear power program, but because I had an engineering degree. Now, the industry realizes that just having an engineering degree does not make one an effective member of the control room team. They now insist that the STA earn the federal license required of the RO.
Home schooling is again acceptable and sometimes preferred. We also see kids starting college at much earlier ages – sounds like the renaissance where some folks started university at eleven and fourteen.
I believe these trends will continue especially if the government is successful in an alternative to the military for folks who can't afford a college degree, like Teach for America, etc.
Hurray for the Renaissance Man!

Thanks for this posting!
I was particularly taken by this comment, "Part of my father's success in his amateur endeavors came from his utter confidence that anybody, no matter how famous or prominent in their field, would be willing to talk to him, based on their shared interests". There is something so heartwarmingly encouraging about this comment and so suited to the very nature of the museum sector - the notion of curiosity!
There are a number of great points made in the post and in the comments. I'd like to reflect on some of them here.
In regards to the idea of losing authority, Susan's comment 'Doctors have been dealing with this issue for years' goes to the heart of the matter. Just because we can access information online doesn't mean that we don't want to speak to those who have spent a great deal of time sifting, sorting and interpreting it.
In regards to the respect that we have for educators and curators. I really believe that this respect will continue to strengthen as audiences recognise that their voices, interpretations and meanings are considered as important in the production of knowledge.
Bruce's comments that the 'reputation and recognition of subject matter experts is forever in the process of validation and renewal, a process for which ongoing public engagement and dialogue is prerequisite' is a particularly important one. In academia we are employed, tenured and promoted on the basis of our peer-review. There are few ways of avoiding this. Thoughts, ideas and experiments matter little unless they are documented, reviewed, published and cited. This process ensures that we continue to explore subject areas and don't claim expertise where it is no longer the case. I wonder whether we can say that the museum sector is as universally rigorous in the case of curatorial knowledge.
Finally, when audiences add content they open themselves up to critism from experts. Yet, the desire to share knowledge remains greater than the fear of retribution. Having worked in the public sector for a few years, I can honestly say that this is an attribute that is often missing in some of our experts!!!
Thanks again! I look forward to the evolution of governance and authority in our organisations!

As I read the beginning of this post yesterday, it reminded me of my experiences working with re-enactors. I was glad when it actually referenced them later in the post.
In particular, I was a reminded of a conversation I had one morning with a re-enactor at a historic fort where I worked. This was someone who had met with our curator and conservator and had spend hours in our archives. He had more direct access to site "experts" than most other people. He was very enthusiastic about our archaeology program because it highlighted much about his time period. But he insisted that we were not doing enough and should effectively shut down non-related activities to be able to focus all resources on discovering and reconstructing a different section of the site.
He was one of my favorite re-enactors and was extremely knowledgeable about the sliver in time that his group reenacted at the site. But he did not seem to be aware of, or care about, the bigger picture of what the institution represented and was trying to do. He also did not seem to have an appreciation or an understanding of the demands of the site staff, or their overall expertise.
As a hobbyist, this was a person who spent countless hours and even more dollars on this very focused part of history. As a result he knew details about the time period that blew me away. On the other hand, he wasn't particularity able to put that period of time in context with what happened before or after, and he was not at all able to understand the way professionals approached the information he knew so much about.
This, to me, is the crux of the matter. There is a difference between people who focus on a subject as a hobby or a special interest, and people who focus on it as a career. Both have substantial value, but the approach is significantly different.
I can see why some curators are less than enthusiastic about collaborating with amateurs. And to be honest, even though I was not one of the "experts" in question during this conversation, it was hard to listen to someone who spent more on a costume than I made in a month telling me that the people that work at my institution didn't really care enough about history. I would argue that if we didn't care, we might have another job.
I fully embrace the concept of shared-authority and participatory inclusion in museums and society but the ideal needs to be tempered with reality. It is nice to say that everyone is potentially an expert and should have equal access, but there are different kinds of expertise. The key is to find a way to utilize and incorporate each expertise in a way that is appropriate and realistic.

I'm not sure which museums inspired Ms. Merritt's article--certainly not the li'l ol' institution I work at on the windswept Canadian prairies, nor any other institution (large or small) across western Canada that I've had the pleasure of working with. We (the Canadian museum community) have always held that our collections are held for the public, and the public has every right to access them, if not through exhibits than through "back room" access. Perhaps we're on the cutting edge of the "unevenly distributed future"--but I doubt it.
"Curators" (the content specialists) have been a dying breed around here for more than a decade (what museum can afford specialists anymore?), replaced by "collections managers" who ensure that collections are properly cared for, but rarely have the opportunity to generate new knowledge. I personally treasure every member of the public that requests access to the collections, because by virtue of the interest they show in the material we have, they likely know more about it than I do, and it's my opportunity to have access to their expertise. When I do have the opportunity to conduct reseach, the best resource I have is internet collectors fora, because again--these are the content specialists that have been cut off museum payrolls for years.
And let's not forget the magic of "provenance"--the history of a specific item. If that were left up to what the expertise of a curator could research and prove, there'd be very few stories for museums to tell. Instead, provenance exists largely based on what knowledge the "amateur" donating the item imparts to museum staff.
"Resurrection" of the amateur expert? From my experience, they've always been a necessary and valued part of the community.

Hi, "fencing buddy" here -
My interactions with curators and other experts outside of conference settings is limited, but most I've talked to are quite happy to arrange for members of the public to visit 'behind the scenes'. What I think is lacking on the part of museums is providing information re: that they do offer this access, and who to contact/how to apply for this access.
For what it's worth, the Costume Society of America came out with a book a few years back, "Clothing And Textile Collections in the United States" that lists collections and curator contact information.

I was always under the impression you had to be part of the museum community to go "behind the scenes" and I am glad to see that is not so. I look forward to being able to do so when I need to be able to do so. But as Kathe said how to you get a response?

The Historical Museum in Stockholm, Sweden, has put several items in their collections online, where you can search on objects, time period, material etc (http://mis.historiska.se/mis/sok/sok.asp). They are now testing an upgrade, where people can add tags, references, comments, and suggest corrections to the present information. I think this will be very useful, particularly for the re-enactment community, but of course also for archaeologists and historians.

There's more choice than ever before, but which computer case is right for you and which features should you look out for?
Date Issued: 20th Oct 2008
The modern PC is potentially a mass of heat output and heat production hot spots. With CPUs rated at more than 100W of heat output, single graphics boards carrying similar ratings (and people want to run two!), multiple hard drives the norm, lots of memory and mainboards covered in heatpipes to combat toasty core logic and PWM circuits, a PC appreciably warming up a room when it's working hard is no joke.
Date Issued: 19th Jun 2008
Watercooling for the PC has been around for years in some form or another, for at least as long as Scan have been in business, with basic physics defining why you want to use it. That means for air cooling, to cope with increasing temperature in the heatsink you need to move the air across it faster. That is why thermostatically controlled fans in your PC will turn faster the hotter something gets.

Stunning and arm sculpture is a great description.
Ethical Jewelry from Ute Decker
Fair trade gold and recycled silver may not be common terms in the jewelry business, but that isn't stopping the German jewelry designer Ute Decker from building her reputation around sustainable and ethical practices. These dazzling "arm sculptures" are crafted from recycled and ethically sourced silver and gold—and judging by how dazzling they are, one can only hope other designers follow her cue.

Dealing in antiques, I am all for recycling silver and reusing the precious metal. These silver pieces are unusual but appealing.

Cal-Tax Commentary
California's Structural Budget Deficit:
By Larry McCarthy
According to Governing Magazine, California's financial management ranks near the bottom – exceeded only by one state. While the general public may not read Governing Magazine, polling and focus group results in recent years underscore high levels of dissatisfaction from the public regarding the mismanagement of state spending by Sacramento decision-makers.
From the budget and financial management information produced in Sacramento, Californians would never know there is a waste-and-fraud problem. The Department of Finance presides over a budget process where there is little systematic review of the spending base. California routinely rolls current spending forward with few questions and fewer answers about the cost effectiveness, outcomes, and performance of programs that cumulatively spend nearly $100 billion in General Fund revenues. Management information that is critical to deciding budget issues is for the most part unavailable to the Legislature and governor.
After a year of careful review, the Sacramento Bee identified categorical school spending which is 30 percent of school spending or $17 billion spent on programs for which there are no measurable results. The Los Angeles Times has reported that Medi-Cal fraud consumes 10% (or $3 billion) of the revenues for the Medi-Cal program. On January 31, 2006, Los Angeles Daily News reported that fraud in state funded child care programs could reach $1.5 billion. Additional press reports on waste and fraud can be found at Cal-Tax Online (Click here).
More than any other state, California offers promising opportunities to redirect and reprioritize spending. If elected officials in Sacramento had the political will to challenge public spending that is being ripped off, the structural budget deficit could be zeroed out.
The structural deficit is a $5 billion problem or 5% when calculated in relation to the total general fund. Those who oppose reform and vigilantly protect the status quo, identify numerous areas of the budget that cannot be reduced: K-12 schools, debt service, public employee pensions and numerous other areas of spending. They identify spending that is constitutionally or contractually obligated to stop any discussion of spending reform. The goal of the status quo lobby is to prevent financial management strategies in Sacramento. Whether it is protected spending or other areas of the budget, there is an opportunity to better manage spending to benefit children in school, build transportation, improve safety net programs for the poor, and address other critical needs.
We recommend the following steps to achieve the minimum assurance of financial management for an annual taxpayer investment of approaching $100 billion in General Fund spending and a total $125 billion state budget:
Budget officers and program managers must present better information for legislators to use in attempting to make decisions on spending tax dollars. Appropriation authority of the Legislature cannot be properly exercised unless information is provided on program effectiveness, program benefits, quality of service provided and alternatives to current costly programs that are not achieving desired results. At a minimum, the following steps must be taken to assure taxpayers that their government is minding the store with care:

As flooding continues to cause havoc across the UK, engineers are highlighting the need for the critical long-term management of our national infrastructure.
Professor Will Stewart from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) said: "Engineering can do a lot to help us cope with flooding, and other effects of climate change.
"Even in the case of the terrible immediate problems for people and communities that we are now tragically seeing in Somerset and the Thames Valley and around our coasts, modern engineering has helped.
"Greatly improved flood modelling and much better communications has helped provide warnings that may have saved lives and reduced damage. But from an engineering perspective the real challenge is the critical long-term management of our national infrastructure.
"An important consideration is that our national infrastructure, which guarantees our energy and water supplies and enables safe and reliable use of road, rail and air transport, is increasingly interconnected and interdependent (for example flooded power stations mean power cuts, which result in telecommunications failures).
"This makes the systems smarter and more resilient in everyday use but also means that extensive damage to one system can cause problems with others - which needs careful planning to avoid critical loss of services, such as communications in flood-hit areas at times when they are especially needed for example.
"To avoid the kind of long-term economic disruption we are now facing, Government, engineers and the entire supply chain need to work together to make the infrastructure as a whole more resilient – and adapt it to cope with the anticipated increase in flooding as result of climate change.
"Tackling parts of the system in isolation, for example improving electricity network management and retrofitting buildings and infrastructure, will help, but the real challenge for engineers will be to find new ways to plan and manage the integrated system.
"This will include developing and manufacturing new engineering technologies, as well as finding innovative ways to develop multi-purpose infrastructure."

Mistakes by Juneau and a couple of big plays led the Kodiak Football League All-Stars to a 14-0 victory over the Juneau Youth Football League All-Stars during Thursday night's preliminary game of the Junior Division (age 11-12) State Invitational Tournament.
The JYFL All-Stars lost three fumbles and threw an interception, while Kodiak used a 22-yard pass from Nick Bishop to Gilbert Saravia and a 47-yard end-around run by Saravia to set up a pair of touchdowns in Thursday's opener of the two-game series.
Kodiak's defense was able to shut down Juneau's offense each time Juneau started to mount a drive, and Juneau only had two drives that even came close to the goal line.
"I was surprised," Kodiak coach Dave Simmerman said. "I was surprised how we did. Our defense played awesome."
Juneau and Kodiak will play again at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Adair-Kennedy Memorial Park, with that game being the true state championship game.
"Today's game was just the prelims, it's what we announced," said Juneau coach Eddie Brakes, who created the state invitational last year with Kodiak and Ketchikan both sending teams to Juneau. Ketchikan didn't send a team this year, which is why Juneau and Kodiak are playing each other twice. Last year Juneau blanked Kodiak 18-0 and Ketchikan 32-0, with Kodiak skunking Ketchikan 40-0.
Kodiak took a 6-0 lead midway through the first quarter when Bishop completed his pass to Saravia, only to have Saravia stopped by a crowd of Juneau players at the 1-yard line. Bishop ran the ball in for the touchdown on the next play, but on the conversion he was forced to scramble and his pass fell short.
"I couldn't see. I wear glasses," said Saravia, who said he thought he was in the end zone. "This makes everyone pumped up. Juneau thinks we're not that good."
"This feels good," Bishop said. "Coaches said they (the JYFL All-Stars) hurt when they tackle."
For the next two quarters, the game was a defensive struggle as Bill Chimphalee led Kodiak's unit and Junior Davidson led Juneau's. Both players were frequently in their opponent's backfield as both Bishop and Juneau quarterback Alex Fagerstrom were sacked more than once.
"Their center was huge, he was hard to get around," Davidson said. "We need to work on our offense."
"It'll probably be more difficult on Saturday," Chimphalee said.
Kodiak added an insurance touchdown midway through the third quarter, a score set up by Saravia's 47-yard end-around run. Saravia appeared to be on his way to a score, but Juneau's Justin Fairless was able to stop him at the 13-yard line. But that only delayed things, as Kodiak scored two plays later on a 5-yard run by Bishop. Nick Van Matre ran in for the conversion to make it 14-0.
"They played a good game," Fairless said. "We need to practice hard on Friday. We need to stay at home (on defense). It was hard to get through them."
"They were bigger this year, and they played bigger," said Fagerstrom, who was one of four players from each team to take part in the series last year. "Our line's got to block better. We need to work harder."
The Kodiak players said they expect Saturday's rematch to be tougher.
"You can't think lightly of them," Bishop said.
Juneau players and coaches are confident they can win on Saturday.
"We'll make the adjustments," Brakes said.

Rice Ties Playoff Touchdown Record of 21
Published 7:00 pm, Saturday, January 11, 2003
Jerry Rice set a record for career playoff yards Sunday with a 15-yard reception, moving past Buffalo's Thurman Thomas.
Rice's catch late in the fourth quarter of Oakland's AFC playoff game against the New York Jets gave him 2,132 total postseason yards, surpassing Thomas' mark of 2,124.
Earlier in the game, Rice scored his 21st postseason touchdown to tie an NFL career record.
Rice caught a 9-yard scoring pass from Rich Gannon 45 seconds into the fourth quarter.
The 40-year-old Rice is in his 18th NFL season. He is tied with Thomas and Emmitt Smith for career playoff TDs.

Epir Technologies Reports Advance in Thin-Film Solar-Cell Efficiency
Epir Technologies Inc., a U.S. developer of photovoltaic materials, said it produced solar cells on commercial glass from polycrystalline cadmium telluride, turning light into power with higher efficiency.
Tests demonstrated a maximum efficiency rate of 15.2 percent, the Bolingbrook, Illinois-based company said in a statement. The U.S. Energy Department's National Renewable Energy Laboratory supervised the experimental test results.
"This achievement elevates Epir to the very small group of solar companies and research facilities that have reproducibly fabricated CdTe solar cells with greater than 15 percent efficiency," Timothy Coutts, fellow emeritus of the Golden, Colorado-based laboratory, said in the statement.
Epir, led by Chief Executive Officer Siva Sivananthan, is among technology companies that are developing thin-film solar cells as a cheaper alternative to conventional silicon-based cells. Thin film uses materials that are laid in sheets onto surfaces of roof shingles or building blocks. One of those is the compound formed from cadmium and tellurium.
A spokesman with the federal research laboratory wasn't available for comment today before normal business hours.
