Box Score | Coach Buckley's Postgame Comments | Highlight: Flea Flicker TD
FOREST GROVE – Dylan Jones's 1-yard touchdown run capped a critical two-minute drill in the fourth quarter, giving Willamette a come-from-behind 35-31 victory over Pacific in Northwest Conference football action at Lincoln Park Stadium.
After losing their halftime lead on 21 unanswered points by the Bearcats in the first 16 minutes of the second half, Pacific rallied to take a 31-28 lead on a 1-yard pass from P.J. Minaya (So., Wahiawa, Hawaii) to Deven McKinney (So., Spanaway, Wash.) with 2:32 remaining. Willamette charged down field quickly, converting a fourth down play at midfield and taking advantage of a Pacific personal foul call to set up Jones' game-winning touchdown run with 27 seconds left.
A 35-yard return kickoff return by Kelson Kawai (Jr., North Kohala, Hawaii) to midfield gave the Boxers three chances at the end zone, but the Boxers' pass plays came up short.
Despite the loss, Pacific Head Coach Keith Buckley said the game showed how far the program has come from the beginning of the season to now. Willamette blew out the Boxers 51-17 in the third game of the season in Salem on Sept. 22.
"Willamette is a good team and they played a good game," Buckley said. "For us to play them at that level is something that we have to take some positives from. We had chances and we didn't make those plays to finish out at the end. It's going to hurt and it will hurt for a long time because we have to wait another year before we get another crack at them. But there are things we are happy about."
Minaya completed 25 of 46 passes for 354 yards and four touchdowns as the Boxers (3-5, 2-3 NWC) finished with 464 yards of total offense. Caleb Roher (So., Gresham, Ore.) caught eight passes for 123 yards and a touchdown while Jakob Lawrence (So., Sherwood, Ore.) had five receptions for 112 yards and a touchdown. Pacific picked up 110 yards on the ground, led by 52 yards from Bobby Ladiges (So., Escalon, Calif.).
Josh Dean led Willamette (7-3, 3-2 NWC) by completing 22 of 43 passes for 315 yards and a touchdown with the Pacific defense sacking him three times. Terrell Malley caught seven passes for 104 yards and the Bearcats' only receiving touchdown, while Jake Knecht had six catches for 119 yards. Malley also carried 12 times for 87 yards and a touchdown while Jones scored three rushing scores. The Bearcats finished the afternoon with 486 yards of total offense.
Willamette needed just four minutes to score off of their opening drive, doing most of their damage on the ground. The Bearcats rushed 45 of their 67 yards on the drive, with Jones ending it with a 1-yard run to put the Bearcats ahead 7-0.
The defenses held strong on a pair of long drives before the Boxers got on the board. Minaya did it with a long bomb that has become his trademark over the last two weeks, finding Roher for a 68-yard touchdown pass with 1:11 left that tied the game 7-7.
The Pacific defense stopped a long Willamette drive to open the second quarter when Brandon Harms (So., Canby, Ore.) intercepted Dean at the Pacific 23-yard line. That set up an amazing flea flicker play that saw Minaya scoop to Schultze, who lateraled to Minaya, who then found Jakob Lawrence for a 36-yard touchdown pass to make it a 14-7 game with 4:51 left.
Willamette saw it's next series stopped on the Pacific 28-yard line, and the Boxers took advantage as Minaya led the Boxers 48 yards to set up a season-long 41-yard field goal by Moses Villareal-Gomez (So., Stockton, Calif.) as time expired that sent the Boxers into the locker room with the 17-7 halftime lead. The kick was the 15th of his Pacific career, which eclipsed the previous career record of 14 kicked by Willie Brosseau between 1976 and 1979.
Willamette came out with a renewed energy in the second half on both sides of the ball. The Bearcats' defense did not allow the Boxers a first down in the stanza and limited the Pacific offense to just 12 yards. After stunting the Boxers on their first two series of the half, Willamette came through with a 19-yard touchdown pass from Dean to Malley that gave Willamette their first lead of the game, 17-14, at the 6:42 mark.
After a quick three-and-out on Pacific's next series, the Bearcats drove 72 yards with Jones scoring again on a five-yard run with 3:23 left in the quarter to make it a 21-17 game. Willamette tallied again less than a minute into the fourth quarter with Malley rushing in from six yards out for his second score and put the Bearcats up 28-17.
Pacific's offense found life in the fourth quarter when they needed it most. Minaya drove the Boxers 80 yards on their first fourth quarter possession, scoring when he found Kawai for a 12-yard score to come within 28-23. The Boxers then benefited by a short punt to gain good field position to take the lead. Taking over at their own 37-yard line, Minaya marched the Boxers 63 yards in 6 minutes, 4 seconds, which ended with the 1-yard pass to McKinney to set up the excitement of the final three minutes.
Josh Brinkworth (So., Elk Grove, Calif.) and Tim Hastie (Jr., Auberry, Calif.) each finished with nine tackles to lead the Boxers defensively, with Hastie finishing with a sack and two tackles for loss. Wes Wenzel led Willamette with 10 tackles while Juan Alvarado had two tackles for loss.
Pacific will wrap up the 2012 season on the road against their toughest opponent of the season as they travel to McMinnville on Saturday to play No. 3 ranked Linfield. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. A live audio webcast will be available at goboxers.com/webcasts. Willamette will wrap up their season at home on Saturday against Puget Sound.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A judge on Wednesday allowed former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura's defamation lawsuit against the widow of slain "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle to go to trial.
U.S. District Judge Richard Kyle denied a motion by Chris Kyle's widow to dismiss the suit. The judge is not related to Chris Kyle, a former Navy SEAL who was killed last year at a Texas gun range.
Ventura alleges Chris Kyle, considered to be the deadliest sniper in American history, defamed him in his best-selling book. In it, Kyle claimed he punched someone named "Scruff Face," whom he later identified as Ventura, in a 2006 bar fight. Ventura says the fight never happened.
"It's never been about money. It's about clearing my name. It's a lie," Ventura told The Associated Press in an interview last month.
The judge wrote Ventura has offered enough evidence that a jury could conclude Chris Kyle's statements were "materially false."
Ventura also has presented enough evidence "to create a genuine issue of fact as to whether Kyle knowingly (or recklessly) published false statements about him," the judge wrote, saying Ventura's defamation claim will be left to a jury to resolve.
Ventura's attorney, David Bradly Olsen, said Wednesday afternoon that he had not talked to Ventura yet.
"Obviously we're pleased by the decision and we think the judge got it correct. We've been saying from the beginning that this case should be decided by a jury, and the judge agreed with us," Olsen said. He expects a trial to be scheduled in June.
Chris Kyle and a friend were killed in February 2013; an Iraq war veteran whom Kyle was trying to help is accused in the killings. Earlier, another federal judge allowed Ventura's lawsuit to proceed with Kyle's widow, Taya Kyle, as the defendant.
An attorney for Taya Kyle had no immediate reaction to the ruling Wednesday.

It is not too uncommon for people to spend their whole life waiting to start living.
A professor stood before a philosophy class holding an empty jar. As the students took their seats, she began filling the jar with golf balls. When they reached the top, she asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then took a bag of pebbles and poured them into the jar, and they made their way into the spaces between the golf balls.
Again she asked the students if the jar was full, and they agreed that it was.
But the professor had another trick up her sleeve. She brought out a bag of sand and proceeded to pour the grains into the jar, filling up more of the remaining space. Again the question came: "It's full now, correct?" The answer was a resounding "Yes."
The professor then took a sip of her coffee and dumped the rest into the jar, filling up spaces that no one thought were there.
"So what does it mean?" the professor asked.
A witty student raised his own coffee mug and asked, "There's always room for coffee?"
The professor, along with the rest of the class, had a good laugh. Then she said, "Imagine that this jar represents the space in your life. The golf balls represent what's most important—family, children, health, friends, things that you're passionate about—the things that at the end of your life you would be glad you paid attention to.
"The pebbles are essential but less important, such as your house, your car, maybe your job.
"The sand is all of the small stuff in life that we're trying not to sweat.
"The coffee, well, you already answered that one."
The professor continued, "There is room for all of this only if you put the golf balls in first. If you put the sand or pebbles in first, there won't be room for the golf balls. The way we pay attention to our lives works the same way. If you spend your attention or mental space sweating the small stuff in life, you won't have the capacity to pay attention to what is most important to you."
This is a classic story that speaks to becoming more mindful of what really matters. I do the same exercise with my clients and students. Why? Thoughts of what is most valuable fly into and out of our minds all the time, and we don't see the space between our awareness and these thoughts. This exercise provides a physical representation of thinking about what really matters and simultaneously makes us aware of the space in which we have the opportunity to choose a response. The practice of intentionally paying attention to what matters primes the mind to become more aware of what is meaningful.
The biggest question at this stage of the process is, what in life really matters to you? Is it your relationship to your partner, paying attention to your children, taking care of your body, sharpening your mind, being kind to yourself or others, making room for play, or living with greater ease?
Paying attention to the things that you value in life is fundamental to your happiness. We know that our minds have an inclination to follow the path of least resistance, so we need a compass to help us intentionally come back to our priorities.
now moment
Creating a way to be aware of our values can help us break out of autopilot and guide us back to what really matters.
1. Sit in a space to take care of the golf balls first—the things that really matter. What are your priorities in life? Let's bring some awareness to them, because at the end of the day, the rest is just sand. Make a list in your mind or write down what truly matters.
2. Sitting exercise: Take a few moments to relax, close your eyes, and practice "Breathing in, I am aware of what truly matters, breathing out, I let go of living on automatic."
3. Go find a jar and a box of golf balls or some nice stones. Label each golf ball or stone with something that really matters in your life. If you don't have a physical jar, you can draw a picture of a jar on a piece of paper along with golf balls or stones or perhaps just picture them in your mind. Actions speak louder than words, so check to see where in your life you're bringing action to your values. Maybe you're taking your partner out to dinner, responding to people and yourself with greater kindness and compassion, being less judgmental, playing games with your kids, getting back into exercise or yoga, making space for that round of eighteen holes, or spending time in meditation.
4. Put the jar in a prominent place somewhere in your house or office where you can't miss looking at it. Every time you intentionally look at the jar, your mind is more likely to incline toward what truly matters. As you do this, you prime your mind to respond to those values during the spaces of your daily life.

There is no question this has been a time of uncertainty for Navistar. From the time the company made the decision to forgo selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology to meet 2010 EPA emissions regulations in favor an advanced exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) solution, each decision that followed was predicated on the ones before.
Ultimately, that led to the sudden retirement of Daniel C. Ustian, chairman, president & CEO, on Monday and the naming of Lewis B. Campbell, former chairman, president & CEO of Textron, as his replacement on an interim basis.
Along the way, there have been a number of bumps in the road, including quality concerns about the EGR-only MaxxForce engines. From the start, competitors said there was no way Navistar could meet the 0.2 NOx g/bhp-hr. level without adding SCR. Until the end, Navistar officials remained convinced their EGR-only solution would work had there been enough time, but with credits running short and initial plans by the EPA to allow the company to pay non-conformance penalties of up to $2,000 per engine scuttled by the courts, the company had little choice but to make the switch to SCR – a solution it is calling in-cylinder technology plus (ICT+).
EPA has since filed a new rule on non-conformance penalties (NCPs) with the White House Office of Management & Budget for review, but details have not been released.
So in the end, Navistar chose the same path all its competitors embarked on several years ago by installing aftertreatment systems from Cummins as well as offering Cummins' 15L engine in its Prostar + starting in January. Navistar hopes to have its MaxxForce 13L certified by May.
Presumably, the addition of SCR to its MaxxForce line along with the Cummins engine option starting in January should get the equipment side of the ledger back in order for Navistar.
But what about the brand? For as much as Navistar can fix the engine issues it was having (the company's second-quarter earnings statement reflected a $104 million loss related to pre-existing warranty charges on engines meeting 2010 emissions), if customers don't hold the same level of trust in the name Navistar, the ability to meet 2010 emissions regulations will have little impact on sales.
How many current customers have been so turned off by the EGR-only engines that they won't return to Navistar? What about residual values for these vehicles? Can these fleets that have them recoup the value they thought they would achieve when they made the purchasing decision? Time will tell on these questions.
History is littered with brands that produced quality products that never sold. Surely, Navistar does not believe that will happen to it. Officials believe Navistar's overall market share for the fiscal third quarter will remain flat at 17-18% in Class 8 at 17-18%; 35-36% in Class 6-7; and 48-49% in school bus.
That would be terrific news for Navistar if that were to happen given all the uncertainty of the past couple of years combined with the announcement of the switch to SCR.
Navistar has solved its engine-compliance issues and it's brought in a new leader in Campbell. Now it's time for the company to focus on the one area that will ultimately determine its success – rebuilding trust among its customers.

Inter president Massimo Moratti has voiced his displeasure over his side's poor run of form, saying they need to overcome the "delusion and anger" that has built up recently.
The Nerazzurri have seen their pursuit of a top-three finish rocked by a 1-0 home defeat to Bologna on Saturday, while they stare Europa League elimination in the face after a 3-0 first-leg loss to Tottenham in the round of 16.
"Yesterday was a real collapse, especially in the first half," the 67-year-old told reporters.
"There is great delusion and anger, but we also need to be cool in evaluating things and searching to rebuild morale and rebuild physically.
"A question of psychology or preparation for the game? Maybe both those things; then everything adds up, but yesterday everything was thrown away at once and that is a serious thing."
The president also refused to offer any guarantees over the long-term futures of coach Andrea Stramaccioni and sporting director Marco Branca.
"Branca has said he and Stramaccioni will remain? He said that the president will decide, and I am of the same opinion."

|This article describes a concept which could impact a variety of companies, countries or industries. To see what companies and articles reference this concept page, click here.
In April 2007, Apple celebrated its 100 millionth iPod sale, claiming that it was the fastest selling music player in history. Indeed, after its introduction a little over five years ago, the iPod maintains a 75% share of the MP3 player market, after shipping 8.7 million iPods in its fourth quarter ending last September. This phenomenal growth has not only changed Apple—more than half of its $23 billion revenue comes from iPod sales and iTunes music downloads—but is currently revolutionizing many other industries as well. Anyone who provides content or creates platforms to deliver content are feeling the "iPod/iTunes effect." Here's a look at some of what is happening within some of those industries.
Toshiba (TOSBF), Broadcom (BRCM), PortalPlayer and a number of other iPod component manufacturers stand to gain from the iPod/iTunes effect. According to a recent study sponsored by the Sloan Foundation [1] and used in a recent NY Times article [2], Apple only makes $80 from the sale of a $299 iPod, because Apple outsources the entire iPod manufacturing process and of course has to dole out some retail and distribution dollars. Toshiba apparently collects $73 for installing an iPod's hard drive, and Broadcom/PortalPlayer each collect a portion of $13 for their embedded video/multimedia processor chip ($8) and controller chip ($5), respectively.Poop
Even competitors to Apple, like Sony (SNE) and Creative Labs, who both make their own MP3 players, have recently introduced iPod compatible accessories like digital media ports and iPod speakers. By joining other audio manufacturers like Pioneer in integrating with the iPod, these competitors are essentially admitting that if you can't beat'em, you might as well join 'em.
MP3 players, mobile phones, and PDAs are converging, making anyone in this space a potential Apple competitor/partner. In general, experts predict that the heavily marketed iPhone, an MP3 player and mobile phone with other bells and whistles, will steal sales from mobile phone manufacturers such as Motorola (MOT) , Nokia (NOK), Samsung, LG among phone manufacturers.
The "iPod/iTunes effect" will ultimately help the music industry, but only after the industry finishes contracting after losing substantial revenue in CD sales.
The major music labels—EMI (LON:EMI), Universal, Sony (SNE), and Warner Music Group (WMG)—are literally being forced to dance to Apple's iTunes as digital downloading of music continues to erode CD sales. EMI recently made a deal with Apple to offer its entire catalog on iTunes (except for the Beatles catalogue) DRM-free. DRM, or digital rights management, is software that prohibits consumers to share their iTunes music with friends. Experts predict that the other labels will soon follow suit and deal with the enhanced risk of music piracy.
The "iPod/iTunes effect" is forcing music labels to reevaluate their business models. Companies may have to increasingly focus more on single-song sales via online stores like iTunes and understand that selling a CD with 15 songs for $15 a pop may be a relic of the past.
It's very nice to have!!
"The iPod/iTunes effect" on music ultimately hurt music sales by encouraging the purchase of single songs for around $1 instead of multi-track CDs for over $50. This new focus on the "single" could eventually hurt fan loyalty to specific artists because they will no longer be automatically exposed to that artist's opus of repertoire. Ticket sales for touring artists may suffer along with those companies that produce large musical events such as Live Nation (a 2005 spin-off of Clear Channel Communications (CCU)).
As podcasts become more popular and iPods are increasingly being used to watch video as well as listen to music, traditional broadcasting and print media companies will increasingly lose viewers to new media companies like YouTube that create content easier to digest on a mobile device.
Radio may be the most affected, as consumers can now create gigantic playlists that play the songs they like randomly. Auto manufacturers are building MP3 docks into cars, meaning that along with traditional radio broadcasting companies like Clear Channel, satellite radio companies Sirius and XM) capitalize on drivers looking for ad-free music might also lose momentum to the "iPod/iTunes effect."
Mobile content providers, albeit currently a pretty nascent market, should grow as a result of more video-capable iPods being sold. Google's recent purchase of YouTube has sparked a flurry of interest in new media companies that provide short clips. CBS (CBS) recently purchased Wallstrip, a mobile-based financial content provider. Sony pictures recently introduced "mini-episodes" of old series like "Charlie's Angels," "The Facts of Life," "Fantasy Island" and "Who's the Boss," edited from their original lengths of 30 or 60 minutes each to an Internet-friendly 4 to 6 minutes. Look for more "mobile-friendly" content providers to gain steam over the next few years.
The "iPod/iTunes effect" will ultimately help wireless carriers like AT&T (T), Verizon Communications (VZ), and Sprint Nextel (S), because MP3 player/mobile phone convergence will increase device usage, along with mobile services to deliver music. With the majority of Americans now using mobile phones, carriers are worrying less about attracting new customers and more about keeping old ones and generating more revenue from them through added services.
In the short term, a consumer will be more inclined to stick with their current carrier if they have all of their songs downloaded onto a phone that only works with that specific carrier. AT&T's exclusive deal with Apple to provide the wireless service to the new iPhone will definitely generate business for them in the short run until downloaded music is DRM-free.
It is inherently obvious that Apple's star is rising, but the "iPod/iTunes effect" has actually helped increased Apple's personal computer sales over the years.
In 2002, the first full year Apple sold the iPod, Apple accounted for 2.2% of the worldwide PC market and 3.5% of the U.S. market. A new trend emerged in 2004. Apple's worldwide market share continued to drop, dipping under 2.0%. But in the U.S. -- the region where the iPod has been the most popular -- it rose to 3.3%. In 2005, the worldwide figure rose to 2.2% while the U.S. figure jumped to 4%. While the absoulote market share numbers may seem small, overall, Apple shipped 52% more computers in 2005 than it did in 2002.
Experts say that the "iPod/iTunes effect" increased the cache of the Apple brand, thus creating a "halo" effect that boosted sales of Apple products other than the iPod.

CARLISLE -- Cumberland County's Library System could be broke by 2016.
With decreasing state funding in recent years, the library has had to dip into its reserves, and with more state cuts on the horizon, those reserves are in danger of depletion.
Members of the library system's board came before the Cumberland County commissioners Wednesday, asking for an increase in the dedicated portion of the property tax they receive from the county.
The tax hike would be an increase from 0.143 mills to 0.1473 mills, giving the library system an extra $100,000, Cumberland County Library System treasurer Paul Fisher told commissioners.
The problem some commissioners have, though, is the request comes as the county is trying to cut down a 3 percent property tax increase that's already pending, and Commissioner Jim Hertzler said he does not believe county taxpayers should have to pay to make up for the state's shortfall.
The library system currently receives $3.2 million from the county each year with a dedicated portion of the property tax.
Library system Executive Director Jonelle Prether Darr said state funding peaked in 2007 at about $1.7 million, and that is now down to about $1 million.
More state cuts are on the way, too, now that Cumberland County has been elevated to third-class county status, she said. That change can mean a cut of anywhere between $100,000 to as much as $900,000, though it is still unknown when, or if, those cuts will come.
But even with the state reductions, she pointed out the library has been able to balance its budget in recent years by dipping into its reserves, which are now down to $1.6 million, and in danger of running out soon.
To help make ends meet, the library and its volunteer organizations have increased their fundraising efforts, she said. Operating hours have been cut by 10 percent, staff cuts have been made, and the library system is spending less on new materials.
At the same time, the demand for the library's services is at an all-time high, Prether Darr said. Digital library services are in high demand, and the summer reading program for children had 7,100 kids registered.
But Hertzler said his concern is that the county is already working to reduce the impending property hike.
"We're trying to hold the line and cut the county property tax," Hertzler said. "I don't know why the county's taxpayers should make up for the state's failure to make adequate funding."
He said he would like both the library system and county to call upon state legislators to increase funding.
The library has increased its fines, and Commissioner Barbara Cross said they should consider other increases, too, such as fees for some services. But Prether Darr said these options are limited because the library receives state dollars, capping the charges it can impose.
And Commissioner Gary Eichelberger, who is the commissioner representative to the library's board, said the library system has a short-term and a long-term problem. The long-term problem is dealing with the state's future funding, but the short-term problem is making sure the library does not deplete its reserves, and can remain afloat.
But in making a decision, commissioners should consider that the library services are in demand, and are used by many around the county, giving the county a return on its investment, Eichelberger said.
"Our citizens vote with their feet, and their feet take them to the library," Eichelberger said.
The county's final budget, which will likely include a decision on the library tax, as well as the rest of the property-tax increase, is set for adoption Dec. 9.

rdn for fe
The Resource Discovery Network (RDN) is a JISC-funded service dedicated to providing effective access to high quality Internet resources for the learning, teaching and research community. The RDN provides access to a series of Internet resource catalogues containing descriptions of high quality Internet sites, selected and described by specialists from within UK academia and affiliated organisations. Originally funded by higher education (HE), since Spring 2000, the JISC has been supported by both the further education (FE) and HE funding councils in the UK. In response to this change in remit, the RDN has been working closely with the FE community to develop its services to ensure their relevance to this new audience. In the last year, this has been achieved via two key projects in particular: RDN Virtual Training Suite for FE (VTS4FE): after a ten month project, in June 2002, the RDN launched eleven new tutorials in the Virtual Training Suite aimed specifically at FE users. RDN Case Studies for FE (RDN Case Studies): the RDN is currently working with a group of FE practitioners who are evaluating the content of hub catalogues for particular FE curriculum subject areas and are producing case studies aimed at FE staff based on RDN resources (available end 2002). Project start date: 2002-11-01. Project end date: 2005-09-30. (Excerpt from this source)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: [term_node_prcnt_1]%.
recruitment toolkit
A large proportion of JISC projects need to recruit new staff. Failure to secure the right resource in a timely manner can have a significant effect on projects achieving the project objectives. Many members of the repository community have limited experience of recruiting staff for projects, and no comprehensive central toolkit is available to assist them in doing it. JISC has therefore commissioned Brunton Consulting to prepare a tailored recruitment toolkit to assist projects in identifying, selecting and recruiting the right people in a timely manner to enable project objectives to be achieved. Brunton Consulting will engage the community to gather issues, identify resources that may be useful and to test the toolkit that is produced. The project will also produce training resources for using the final toolkit. Project start date: 2008-12-03. Project end date: 2009-03-31.

The degree to which educational content can be reused and re-purposed depends on how it is stored, made available, and delivered to the academic user community. Existing learning technology interoperability standards are designed to ensure the reusability of educational content within different authoring environments, content repositories and delivery platforms such as virtual and managed learning environments (VLEs/MLEs). Emerging learning technology interoperability specifications underpin pedagogical frameworks which enable significantly more effective use of learning resources. These specifications are therefore relevant to the basis of the X4L Programme, which focuses on pedagogical outcomes (JISC X4L Circular, para 9). Based on the interoperability specifications being developed by IMS, ADL and the OUNL, RELOAD focuses on the development of a suite of software tools for authoring and delivery standard-compliant learning objects: content package editor, runtime delivery system and Colloquia VLE, all incorporate comprehensive user guides and exemplar resources. These components will form an invaluable toolkit allowing colleagues across the FE/HE sector the freedom to quickly and easily create their own specification conformant learning objects from existing resources.

remap project
The REMAP project is investigating the use of a digital repository to support the embedding of records management and digital preservation within the context of a UK Higher Education institution. The REMAP project has the following aims: - develop Records Management and Digital Preservation (RMDP) workflow(s) in order to understand how a digital repository can support these activities; - embed digital repository interaction within working practices for RMDP purposes; - further develop the use of a WSBPEL orchestration tool to work with external Web services, including the PRONOM Web services, to provide appropriate metadata and file information for RMDP; - develop and test a notification layer that can interact with the orchestration tool and allow RSS syndication to individuals alerting them to RMDP tasks; - develop and test an intermediate persistence layer to underpin the notification layer and interact with the WSBPEL orchestration tool to allow orchestrated workflows to take place over time; - test and validate the use of the enhanced WSBPEL tool with institutional staff involved in RMDP activities These aims will feed into and help achieve the project's objectives: - raise the profile of records management and digital preservation and how it can become a part of regular working practices through interaction with a digital repository; - better understand how WSBPEL can be used in a real world scenario to support records management and digital preservation; - test and demonstrate how the Fedora digital repository system can be used to support records management and digital preservation within institutional practices . The REMAP project will build on the work of an earlier JISC-funded project at the University of Hull: RepoMMan. The RepoMMan project developed a tool that could be integrated into a user's workflow to allow easy interaction with an institutional repository. The repository is thereby available as part of the development process for materials as well as being a showcase for the finished product. Project start date: 2008-04-01.

Research Papers in Economics (RePEc) is a collaborative effort of hundreds of volunteers in 57 countries to enhance the dissemination of research in economics. The heart of the project is a decentralized database of working papers, preprints, journal articles and software components. The project started in 1997. Its precursor NetEc dates back to 1993. Using its IDEAS database, RePEc provides links to over 700,000 full text articles. Most contributions are freely downloadable, but copyright remains with the author or copyright holder. It is among the largest internet repositories of academic material in the world. Materials to RePEc can be added through a department or institutional archive or, if no institutional archive is available, through the Munich Personal RePEc Archive (MPRA). Institutions are welcome to join and contribute their materials by establishing and maintaining their own RePEc archive.

The RepoMMan Project is developing a tool which will allow users to interact with a Fedora digital repository as part of their natural workflow. The University of Hull takes a broad view of repository function, seeing it as offering storage, access, management and preservation of a wide range of objects from conception to completion and possible publication. The effectiveness of a repository is linked to the quality of its metadata. When a user chooses to make an object 'public' the RepoMMan tool will pre-populate its metadata using contextual information and metadata generation tools. The user is then able to refine this automated 'first-pass'. (Excerpt from this source)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: [term_node_prcnt_1]%.
The RePosit Project seeks to increase uptake of a web-based repository deposit tool embedded in a researcher-facing publications management system. Project work will include gathering feedback from users and administrators and evaluating the tool's effectiveness; developing general strategies for increasing uptake of embedded deposit tools; compiling a community commentary on the issues surrounding research management system integration; and producing open access training materials to help institutions enlighten their users and administrators regarding how embedded deposit tools are related to the work of the library and the repository. The intention is to use the reduction in deposit barriers offered by the tool to enhance open access content, creating more full-text objects available under stable URIs. This will be used to demonstrate that repositories can play a part in the researcher's daily activities, and that a deposit mandate is viable for the partner institutions. Success is measurable by an increase in the number of open access items which is greater than the expected increase without use of the deposit tool and the advocacy throughout this project. Other outputs will take the form of documentation available freely on the web. Project start date: 2010-06-01. Project end date: 2011-02-28.

repositories research team
As part of the Digital Repositories and Repositories and Preservation Programmes, JISC have established the Repositories Research Team. The remit for the work of the research team is quite wide and includes helping projects find and exploit synergies across the programme and beyond, gathering scenarios and use cases from projects, liaising with other national and international repositories activities, including liaison with the e-Framework, synthesizing project and programme outcomes, and engaging with interoperability standards activity and repository architectures. The Repositories Research Team is a collaboration between UKOLN and JISC CETIS. UKOLN have worked previously on repositories in a number of contexts including ePrints UK, the Open Archives Forum and Delos, and JISC CETIS, the JISC Centre for Educational Technology and Interoperability Standards, has considerable experience in supporting the development of digital repositories for e-learning. Much of the work of the team is recorded on the 'DigiRep' wiki. Project start date: 2005-09-01. Project end date: 2009-03-31.

The core technical deliverable of the project will be the RIOJA tool, which will support automated interactions between journals and public repositories. The tool will be implemented for the arXiv1 subject repository. A demonstrator journal in Astrophysics and Cosmology, using Cornell University's open source DPubS software 2 , interfacing with and overlaid on the arXiv subject repository, will be constructed. The content of the demonstrator journal will be test papers, submitted to and housed on the arXiv server, and the demonstrator will illustrate the use of the RIOJA tool to facilitate the overlay of peer review onto repository content. RIOJA will also explore social and economic aspects of building certification onto repositories in support of the creation of overlay journals. To accompany the demonstration work, the project will carry out a survey of researchers from the field of Astrophysics and Cosmology. It will aim, as part of its exit strategy, to deliver a continuation plan for the demonstrator journal. This will be founded on a cost-recovery business model tested on the Astrophysics and Cosmology community for acceptibility. The continuation plan will include costed recommendations on digital preservation, incorporating learning from the joint UCL-British Library, JISC-funded LIFE project. Project start date: 2007-02-01.

The RoMEO Project (Rights MEtadata for Open archiving) was a JISC project investigating the rights issues surrounding the 'self-archiving' of research in the UK academic community under the Open Archive Initiative's Protocol for Metadata Harvesting. It performed a series of stakeholder surveys to ascertain how 'give-away' research literature (and metadata) is used, and how it should be protected. Building on existing schemas and vocabularies (such as Open Digital Rights Language) a series of rights elements was developed and a solution for the protection of the IPR in metadata itself was also created. A follow up to the Romeo project was another project called 'Partnering on Copyright', aiming to contribute to raising awareness of the copyright issues surrounding self archiving. The Partnering on Copyright project has provided an advocacy toolkit for promoting the copyright issues surrounding self archiving and has led to further developments on the SHERPA/RoMEO database.

ROSA is carried out by the Nature Publishing Group, the scientific publishing arm of Macmillan Publishers Ltd. RSS (RDF Site Summary) news feeds are an increasingly popular means of receiving news and other time-sensitive information. The RSS feed readers enable users to scan a large number of information sources without having to manually visit each website in turn. They also enable webmasters to embed automatically updated links to content of interest at other websites. In this way they greatly enhance data interoperability and hence the information dissemination capabilities of the web. There are however barriers to adoption of RSS. ROSA attempts to overcome these barriers by creating an open source, customisable RSS aggregator and filter, of which the source code will be released under the General Public License so that others can make use of it and build upon it.

The Repositories Support Project (RSP) began as a 2.5 year project to co-ordinate and deliver good practice and practical advice to English and Welsh HEIs to enable the implementation, management and development of digital institutional repositories. The second, 3-year phase, began in March 2009. The RSP will contribute to building repository capacity, knowledge and skills within institutions. Through providing guidance and advice it will benefit the whole of the UK sector resulting in the wider take-up and development of institutional repositories in HEIs. The aim of the RSP is to progress the vision of a deployed network of inter-working repositories for academic papers, learning materials and research data across the UK. Whilst fulfilling the business requirements of HEIs to manage their assets, showcase research outputs, and share learning materials, such a network of populated repositories will be a major step forward in the provision of open access materials. As basic objectives of the project it has been agreed with JISC that the RSP should provide activities, support and advice, to achieve: * More repositories * More content in repositories * More use of content by researchers. *More re-use of that content by service providers offering innovative services *Wide-spread acceptance and use of standards-based approach to repository development and use. The First Phase of the project ran from October 2006 until March 2009, under the Repositories and Preservation Programme (http://www.jisc.ac.uk/whatwedo/programmes/reppres.aspx ), and was a consortium of the University of Nottingham, University of Wales Aberystwyth, University of Southampton, and UKOLN. The Second Phase of the project runs from March 2009 until March 2012, and is being carried out by the Centre for Research Communications at the University of Nottingham.

A woman is at a hospital this afternoon, in "bad shape" after jumping off an overpass and landing on westbound I-290 near Itasca, according to State Police.
The first responding trooper found the 34-year-old woman, who was able to talk after plunging about 20 feet off the Irving Park bridge just after 3 p.m. just south of Thorndale Avenue, said Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Bob Huber.
"She said she jumped because she is homeless and she didn't have much going for her,'' said Huber.
She was not hit by a car, though a van stopped, thinking the vehicle brushed against her.
The woman she was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove where she is alive but in "bad shape,'' Huber said.
Traffic was getting by about an hour and a half later on the right two lanes and right shoulder, but the incident also affected motorists on I-355.

2 women killed by train in Charlotte
2 women killed by train in Charlotte
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police are trying to identify two women who were killed when they were hit by a train.
Capt. Rod Farley says the women were not carrying identification when they were hit by a train shortly before 4 a.m. Sunday.
Police say the women were hit on tracks near an apartment complex, an elementary school and several small businesses.
Police say a CSX train was headed to Bostic when the engineer thought he saw someone sleeping on the tracks. The engineer told police he put the train in an emergency stop and sounded the horn and bell but the train struck the person.
The bodies of two women were found under the train, and both were pronounced dead at the scene.

JACKSON, Miss. A federal appeals panel has denied a new trial for kidnapper Patrick Hollowell.
Hollowell was convicted in the kidnapping of an Arkansas man who was taken to a Mississippi casino to cash a $2,000 ransom check.
The victim, Oliver Anderson, ruined his abductors' plans by screaming for help in the Isle of Capri, a busy Coahoma County, Miss., casino with plenty of security guards and surveillance cameras. The abductors ran.
Hollowell was sentenced to 27 years in prison for his role in the abduction. He pleaded guilty in 2011 to conspiracy, kidnapping and using a gun during a violent crime.
Dennis Lee Andrews pleaded guilty to conspiracy and using a gun during a violent crime. Athena Marie Byrd pleaded guilty to conspiracy and kidnapping. Each was sentenced to a little more than 21 years.
In his appeal, Hollowell argued his sentenced was unfair compared with that of his co-defendants and in light of his cooperation with investigators. Hollowell said his drug addiction also should have been considered.
A three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals this week denied Hollowell's claim. It said Hollowell failed to show how his situation was similar to that of Andrews and Byrd.
The panel also said the Mississippi federal court weighed other issues cited by Hollowell in coming up with the sentence.
According to court documents, Andrews confessed to an FBI agent that he was using methamphetamine and popping pills at a friend's house in West Helena on Feb. 2, 2011, the night the abduction happened. He and Hollowell went to a Motel 6 in the area and picked up a pistol, according to court records that cite Andrews' confession to the FBI.
"Because he was 'high,' he does not remember where the two met up with co-defendant Athena Marie Byrd, but the three of them devised a 'scam' to obtain money from Oliver Eugene Anderson," court records said.
On the night of the abduction, Byrd went to Anderson's house first so she would be there when the others arrived. Andrews and Hollowell showed up and held Anderson and Byrd at gunpoint. Anderson asked what he could do to make them leave, records show.
The woman allegedly said she owed Andrews and Hollowell $2,000. They stole binoculars, pistols and other items but weren't satisfied with the money and valuables Anderson had at his house.
They forced Anderson to write a check, then Andrews and Byrd loaded him into her car at gun point and headed across the nearby Mississippi River to the Isle of Capri Casino in Coahoma County, Miss., to cash the check.
Once inside the casino at the teller's window, "Anderson screamed that he was being kidnapped, or words to that effect," the indictment said. The abductors fled. Andrews dumped the gun at another man's house.
Andrews and Byrd each have appeals pending before the 5th Circuit.

FM6702, Reviewed October 1993
Editor's noteThe following abstract describes a publication that is only available for purchase. A link to ordering information is on this page.
This record book is for depreciation on machinery and equipment, purchase breeding livestock, buildings, and other real estate improvements.
Failure to set up a complete depreciation schedule on building, machinery, and purchased breeding livestock can easily cost you $100 to $500 in income tax and social security tax. These tax leaks can be plugged by getting properly organized and establishing a system for record keeping.
This book provides space and instructions for recording investment credit, cash difference paid on trades, salvage value and depreciation claimed to date on each individual item of equipment. Even if you depend on your tax consultant to maintain your inventory schedules, insist that he keep your record in this book, too, because it maintains useful information that your income tax form does not record.
See also the first part of the record keeping system, FM6701 Missouri Farm Tax Record: Part 1, Cash Paid-Cash Received, which is designed for aid in income tax reporting on a cash basis only.

Was born in Brussels in 1927. (Cobra group)
The winner of the first Andrew W. Mellon Prize for Painting (1977) and the French Grand Prix National for painting in 1984, Alechinsky has been recognized in recent years as one of the most significant living artists. (The art market has also noticed his stature: one of his paintings sold at auction several years ago for over $2,000,000.)
Alechinsky was just barely out of his teens when he burst onto the art scene as one of the original members of the COBRA group, and over the years he has emerged as one of the most imaginative and witty artists of our times. Alechinsky fans are everywhere. The admirers of this great artist are immediately fascinated by his gestural writing, elegant and sensitive. Beyond his symbols and his familiar monsters, they find in his drawings and prints pictures suggested to him by the very shape of his blots or by the old documents on which he is fond of working - letters, invoices, bonds, maps - giving a shape to the shapeless, a meaning to the meaningless.
Alechinsky is represented in the main museums of Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Danemark, Holland, France, Germany, Isr ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

Jaguar291 first brought this issue up, the reference is this thread: http://www.antionline.com/showthread...0&pagenumber=1
It seems that if a user uploads an image to use in a signature, it can't be more than 300 x 50 in size. But if a user simply links to an image on another site, it seems there are no checks in place to see how large that image is.
I did some tests and was able to use signatures larger than the limit of 300 x 50 simply by linking to the images.

Retailers recall potentially dangerous magnetic sets
After years of warnings about the danger of tiny, high-powered magnets, six major retailers are pulling Buckyballs and Buckycubes off the shelf.
The Problem Solvers were the first to warn about the potentially deadly consequences of children and teens swallowing the magnets. The magnets can connect internally and restrict vital organs.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the manufacturer refused to recall them, so Barnes & Noble, Bed bath and Beyond, Brookstone and 3 other retailers have agreed to voluntarily pull them. If you have Buckyballs or Buckycubes, CPSC says contact the store where you bought them for instructions on what to do.

The Alamo Colleges District uses Magnus Health to collect and process student bacterial meningitis information. Magnus Health is a secure and easy-to-use website for submitting bacterial meningitis documentation.
Texas State Law (SB 1107) established the requirement for students entering any Texas institution of higher education to provide proper documentation showing they have received the bacterial meningitis vaccination within five years and at least 10 calendar days before the beginning of the semester.
Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. Meningitis is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. The severity of illness and treatment differs depending on whether it is caused by a virus or bacterium. Viral meningitis is generally less severe and clears up without specific treatment. Bacterial meningitis can progress extremely fast, be severe and may result in brain damage, amputations, hearing and vision loss, learning disabilities or death. It is also important to know what type of bacterial meningitis, because antibiotics can prevent some types from spreading and infecting other people.
Further information can be found at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Roth's Wrath
Posted byon 09.25.08 |
It's not quite a twist on the level of The Sixth Sense (I read dead people?), but you may raise an eyebrow fifty-or-so pages into Indignation: our narrator is not only unreliable, he may not be corporeal. Philip Roth's idea of the Afterlife is apparently similar to his idea of Old Age: mourn lost youth, nurse grudges, and rage… READ MORE >

Michael Carrick believes Manchester United may have to triple mark Cristiano Ronaldo if the Red Devils are to progress past Real Madrid in the Champions League.
The European heavyweights face off on Wednesday in the first leg of the last-16 tie at the Bernabeu, with the Portugal international facing his former side for the first time since his £80 million move in 2009.
Despite the pressure of a world record fee, Ronaldo has netted a remarkable 182 goals in just 179 appearances for los Blancos, and Carrick has singled out the "special" forward as the main threat to United's European dreams.
"Everyone has fond memories of Cristiano [Ronaldo]," he told The Sun. "What he's done at Madrid is incredible and he's going to take some stopping.
"I think we will need two or maybe three to mark him to be honest, he's been that good for Madrid."
And while Barca star Lionel Messi has eclipsed Ronaldo on a personal level by winning the Ballon d'Or for the past four years, Carrick insists his former United team-mate's talent should be feared.
He continued: "[Ronaldo's] been sensational, to score so many goals so quickly - it's been astonishing.
"Because of Messi, he maybe hasn't had the pats on the back or the credit he deserves because the other guy has been winning everything there is to win but that shouldn't take away from what he has achieved at Madrid. He's a special player."

In the U.S., an indigent person accused of a serious crime is entitled to the appointment of defense counsel at the state's expense. Providing indigent criminal defendants with access to effective legal counsel is critical to ensuring due process. Research will help the field understand barriers to obtaining legal representation, identify and assess how to address these barriers, and develop recommendations.
NIJ's indigent defense research portfolio focuses on:
And NIJ's research portfolio continues to grow. In 2012, NIJ awarded more than $1.6 million to three organizations to evaluate efforts to improve indigent defense in the U.S. The research includes:

Why are innocent people wrongfully convicted in certain cases, yet acquitted in others? Research is starting to uncover what happens.
NIJ-funded researchers at American University compared cases in which innocent defendants were wrongfully convicted to "near misses" — cases in which an innocent defendant was acquitted or had charges dismissed before trial. The researchers identified 10 statistically significant factors that could lead to a wrongful conviction. For example, young defendants with previous criminal histories were more likely to be wrongfully convicted. An honest, inadvertent misidentification also increased the likelihood of erroneous conviction. The researchers developed a model that could be used to help prevent wrongful convictions in the future.
Learn more about wrongful convictions.
Personal interactions have the strongest impact on perceptions. People form opinions of law enforcement, for example, based on their own interactions with officers or the experiences of trusted friends and family. Research shows that an officer's demeanor and actions are crucial to perceptions of police legitimacy. Citizens are more likely to take a positive view of law enforcement if officers communicate well, listen and treat citizens with respect.

Watch and listen to New York University's Tom Tyler describe legitimacy as it pertains to profiling and community policing.
Watch an interview with Yale Law School's Tracey Meares about deterrence and legitimacy.
Fingerprint databases sometimes do not "talk" to each other because of differences in technology or decisions related to policy and practice. As part of NIJ's priority to strengthen the forensic sciences, it is funding the Latent Fingerprint Interoperability Survey. The survey will help NIJ understand the barriers to fully automated, cross-jurisdictional interoperability. It will collect information about:
Learn more about latent fingerprints and the database interoperability survey.
Secondary data analysis allows researchers to build on existing findings, replicate results and conduct new analyses. Through NIJ's Data Resources Program, data collected as a part of NIJ research are archived and made available to support new research aimed at reproducing original findings, replicating results and testing new hypotheses.
When an NIJ-funded study ends, researchers submit their data to the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data, which has been collecting data since 1978. The National Archive was created as part of the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research at the University of Michigan.
Recent data sets added to the National Archive include:

Review Elephant Walk on TripAdvisor
Jan 22, 2009
My husband and I just returned from the most marvelous experience. I want you to know about it, so you can do it sometime. We and another couple took off for Stillwater on Sunday where we checked into THE ELEPHANT WALK, a bed and breakfast. We had the most unusual rooms, beautiful, cozy, and decorated to the hilt….
Aug 27, 2008
We've been to a lot of B and Bs all over the country – from Vermont to the Jersey Shore to Charleston, and the Elephant Walk is by far our favorite. This was our second stay in five years, and we just love it. It is unlike any other B and B – no floral and doily decor.
Nov 17, 2008
Rita and Mike have created an atmosphere where time simply stands still, allowing you to enjoy each moment. Their home is wonderfully decorated. We stayed in the Chang Lai room which included a warm fireplace, double wirlpool bath, and a complimentary bottle of wine and homemade cheese and crackers. Breakfast, all four course mind you, was devine!

One of the hardest things we have to deal with in parenthood is when we misplace our Center.
As we walk the floor rocking back and forth, comforting the little one in our arms wondering if it is time to call the doctor or if the fever will break on its own. It happens. That little core that is us is put on the shelf.
I will pick it up a bit later we tell ourselves; right now my baby needs me. But later turns into days, then months, and before we know it we forgot where we put it.
We talk about it with our friends, we search on our own and we wonder. What happened to me? Who am I? Why am I here? What is my purpose? I don't know who I am any more. When do I get time for me?
We realize we have misplaced our Center, and even though it is still there sitting on the shelf where we last put it, no matter how hard we look we cannot see it. So we search.
Hello everyone, my name is Gee Gee and I am thrilled to be this week's perspectives guest blogger on DrGreene.com. Throughout this week I hope to help you gain perspective and help you once again find your Center.

Toshiba claims 2.5-inch disk leadership
Only Seagate got there first
Toshiba claims it has launched "the highest capacity 2.5-inch drive to date", at 640GB.
Well, maybe not. Seagate quietly launched a 640GB, 2.5-inch FreeAgent Go in June and Western Digital's Scorpio Blue is a 1TB 2.5-inch drive which was announced in July.
As Reg Hardware notes the new MK6465GSX Tosh drive has two platters, uses the 3Gbit/s SATA interface, and its 640GB comes courtesy of a 528.5Gbit/sq in areal density, delivering 320GB/platter.
Seagate's 640GB FreeAgent Go product apparently uses an un-announced Momentus 5400.7 drive. The previous, or current, Momentus 5400.6 drive tops out at 500GB, or 250GB/platter, and has an areal density of 394Gbit/sq in.
Taking the 28 per cent increase in capacity represented by a 500GB to 640GB uplift, that would put the 5400.7 drive's areal density at 504.32Gbit/sq in; Toshiba then leading Seagate in the 2.5-inch areal density stakes.
Seagate apparently has a 1TB 2.5-inch drive coming, although the number of platters, and hence the areal density, are not known.
The Tosh drive's capacity is also exceeded by Western Digital's Scorpio Blue. This 2.5-inch drive needs three platters to achieve its 1TB, and so has at least a 333GB/platter capacity, suggesting its platter capacity is higher than Toshiba's although its areal density might be less.
Toshiba is looking into the capacity leadership claim. There can be quite a big difference between announcement dates and ship dates, though. ®
