In the past couple of years, Flying Lotus has grown into the position of being far more than a producer, he has helped materialize a far-reaching strain of musical ideology that has encompassed not only a global family of like-minded artists, but also a nearly infinite palate of planetary (and interplanetary) sonics. On his new release, Cosmogramma not only has an entirely new range of sounds been unlocked by our intrepid astral traveler, but every genre touchstone associated with his name has been merged into a self-described 'space opera.' Seamless in execution and too wide in scope to properly describe, it is the authentic embodiment of his unique musical heritage.
The spirit of his famed aunt, Alice Coltrane permeates the record, notably in the powerful collaborations with relative Ravi Coltrane, bass virtuoso Thundercat and the brilliant harp prodigy, Rebekah Raff. Also featured on the album are Thom Yorke, string arranger Miguel Atwood-Fergusson and vocalist Laura Darlington.


Samsung has launched the Galaxy S II, which is equipped with a dual-core processor, an improved screen and faster Internet access using HSPA+ (High-Speed Packet Access).
Like LG Electronics, Samsung is also adding a dual-core 1GHz processor to its new flagship smartphone. The Android 2.3-based Galaxy S II also has a 4.3-inch screen with a 480 x 800 resolution, according to a company statement. The screen is based on an improved version of Samsung's Super AMOLED technology, which is supposed to consume less energy while offering better image quality when using the phone outside and looking at the screen from an indirect angle.
The smartphone measures 125 by 66 by 8 millimeters at its thinnest point -- just like the existing Galaxy it has a small bump at the bottom -- and weighs 116 grams. The back camera has an 8-megapixel resolution and LED flash and the front camera has 2-megapixel resolution. The camera can also be used to record videos at 1080p at 30 frames per second.
Storage is either 16 GB or 32 GB, and an additional 32 GB can be added using a microSD card.
The Galaxy S II can access the Internet using Wi-Fi or HSPA+ at up to 21M bps (bits per second). User will, for example, be able to take advantage of the faster speed when viewing streaming video or playing online games, according to Samsung. The speed increase should also be a boon to users when accessing the Internet using the integrated Wi-Fi hotspot. The list of supported Wi-Fi standards includes 802.11 a, b, g and n. Using Wi-Fi Direct, the smartphone can connect to set up a point-to-point connection with other compatible devices without the use of an access point.
Just like on the Nexus S, Samsung has added NFC (Near-Field Communications) to the Galaxy S II. The most talked-about application for NFC is payments. But the technology can be used for other things, including sharing information between two devices when they are close. The phone will also come in a version without integrated NFC, which will allow operators to put the communications technology on the phone's SIM card instead.
On the content side, Samsung has added a game hub and a music hub, which includes over 12 million tracks from partner 7digital.
The device will start shipping in some markets, including Sweden, in May. Pricing was not disclosed.

A Parliamentary committee is recommending the repeal of a controversial section of Canada's Immigration and Refugee Protection Act that refuses entry to immigrants deemed likely to cause "excessive demand" on the country's healthcare system.
With a new year around the corner, it's important to stay updated on the most recent Canadian immigration news stories and immigration program changes. Also, it may help to get connected with others who share similar goals of settling in Canada!
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada says it will have the backlog of permanent residence applications through the old Live-in Caregiver Program (LCP) largely cleared by the end of 2018.

Ohio State Energy Partners award winners advance innovation, collaboration
Twenty-one projects — tackling issues such as addiction recovery, sustainability and income inequality — have been awarded grants in the second year of philanthropic funding from The Ohio State University's comprehensive energy management partnership.
Ohio State Energy Partners contributes $810,000 each year to the university or affiliated philanthropic causes as part of its commitment to academic engagement.
The university's Energy Academic Collaboration Council also solicited proposals from faculty, staff and students for consideration and advanced priorities to OSEP. The awards advance university priorities and foster transdisciplinary and community collaboration.
In 2017, the university and OSEP entered into the comprehensive energy management partnership, which launched an innovative energy efficiency program and boosted Ohio State's standing as an international leader in sustainability. OSEP is a joint venture between ENGIE North America and Axium Infrastructure.
"Ohio State and OSEP share a commitment to tackling the issues that affect us all, locally and globally. I am thrilled that so many outstanding ideas generated by our university community are moving forward," said Executive Vice President and Provost Bruce A. McPheron.
Recipients of the 2019 OSEP Awards will address a broad range of issues and ideas. The largest single award of $200,000 will support Campus Student Sustainability Challenge. Six student teams received funding for projects to make campus more sustainable.
Another award supports opportunities for more than 3,000 undergraduate, graduate and professional students to study abroad through the Office of Diversity and Inclusion's Education Abroad program. The program is operated in collaboration with the Office of International Affairs.
Vice Provost for Diversity and Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer James Moore said education abroad has immense student benefits, such as increased learning outcomes, retention and degree completion, as well as significant institutional benefits, including campus internationalization and an enhanced international reputation.
"I think it's important for our students to have these experiences if we want to maintain our global edge," Moore said.
"One expectation of the students is they will become ambassadors and they will share knowledge as well as shatter myths around education abroad," he said. "They will explain why it's important and what it does for them."
Another award will support a survey of the ecological and economic potential of more than 1,000 acres of forest owned by the university. The School of Environment and Natural Resources is conducting the survey.
Ohio State ADVANCE and the Office of Research received support for the REACH for Commercialization program. REACH is a year-long program for female faculty, research staff and postdoctoral researchers designed to boost innovation and entrepreneurship.
"We could not be more proud of the outcomes we are already starting to see from this partnership. This is only the beginning. There is much more good work to be done," McPheron said.

Oliver Cromwell Cox's Marxism
by Paul M. Sweezy
(Jul 01, 2020)
Topics: Capitalism , Inequality , Marxism , Political Economy , Race
Oliver Cromwell Cox insisted on dealing with the crucial issues of his time and on telling the truth as he saw it, regardless of whose toes may have been stepped on or whose sensibilities may have been injured. He has aided in preventing the complete stultification of academic social science and in the long run exercised an immense influence on American life. | more…
The Quality of Monopoly Capitalist Society: Mental Health
by Paul A. Baran and Paul M. Sweezy
Topics: Capitalism , Health , Inequality , Political Economy
When Paul Baran and Paul Sweezy's Monopoly Capital was published by Monthly Review Press in 1966, two of the chapters originally drafted for the book were left out of the final volume: what was to have been Chapter 9 in the original plan for the book, entitled "Some Theoretical Implications," and what was intended as Chapter 11, "The Quality of Monopoly Capitalist Society: Culture and Mental Health." In July–August 2012, "Some Theoretical Implications" was finally published in Monthly Review. This was followed by the publication of the first part, approximately two-thirds of the whole, of "The Quality of Monopoly Capitalist Society: Culture and Mental Health," titled "The Quality of Monopoly Capitalist Society: Culture and Communications," in the July–August 2013 issue of the magazine. The section on mental health was left out on the grounds that it was incomplete. We finally publish it here. | more…
'The Deadly Implications of Capital for the Human Habitat'
A Letter to István Mészáros from Paul M. Sweezy, October 16, 1992
(Sep 01, 2018)
Topics: Ecology , Marxism , Marxist Ecology
In October 1992, MR founding editor Paul M. Sweezy wrote the following brief letter, published here for the first time, to István Mészáros in response to an interview with Chris Arthur and Joseph McCarney that had just been published in Radical Philosophy. Sweezy saluted the critical significance of Mészáros's argument on "the monstrous power of capital," and the failure of many Marxists to perceive this problem in its full dimensions. He also affirmed the imperative of incorporating the ecological economics of Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen.

The Age of Monopoly Capital: Selected Correspondence of Paul A. Baran and Paul M. Sweezy, 1949-1964
by Paul A. Baran; Edited and annotated by Nicholas Baran and John Bellamy Foster Paul M. Sweezy
Topics: Biography , Capitalism , Marxism , Monopoly
Places: Global , United States
Paul A. Baran and Paul M. Sweezy were two of the leading Marxist economists of the twentieth century. Their seminal work, Monopoly Capital: An Essay on the American Economic and Social Order, published in 1966, two years after Baran's death, was in many respects the culmination of fifteen years of correspondence between the two, from 1949 to 1964. During those years, Baran, a professor of economics at Stanford, and Sweezy, a former professor of economics at Harvard, then co-editing Monthly Review in New York City, were separated by three thousand miles. Their intellectual collaboration required that they write letters to one another frequently and, in the years closer to 1964, almost daily. Their surviving correspondence consists of some one thousand letters. | more…
Ecology and Revolution
A Letter to Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, July 31, 1974
Topics: Ecology , Marxist Ecology , Movements , Revolutions
Places: Americas , United States
In the early 1970s, MR editors Harry Magdoff and Paul Sweezy increasingly introduced ecological themes into the magazine, and began to question the viability of unlimited, exponential economic growth in a limited biosphere. Sweezy, in particular, was deeply interested in ecological problems, a topic he began to write on in this period, in essays such as "Cars and Cities"…, and to which he returned on various occasions until the end of his life.… [In this 1974 letter to the influential ecological economist, Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, Sweezy outlined] the revolutionary implications of ecology, and the break that these necessitated with pure "economism"—a rupture that only a truly revolutionary socialism could bring about.
Theses on Advertising
Topics: Media , Political Economy
Confronted with a progressive deterioration and an increasing "Americanization" of mass media in Britain, the British Labor Party appointed a Commission under the Chairmanship of Lord Reith the assignment of which is "to consider the role of commercial advertising in present day society and to recommend whether reforms are required; if so, what?" This Advertising Commission solicited oral and written testimony from various workers in that field, submitting to them a questionnaire covering the principal points on which comments were invited. Having also been asked for our reflections on the matter, we prepared the following statement the purpose of which is not so much to answer all the questions posed in the questionnaire, as to present a more or less integrated view on this, most important, subject. | more…
The Quality of Monopoly Capitalist Society: Culture and Communications
This is a hitherto unpublished chapter of Paul A. Baran and Paul M. Sweezy, Monopoly Capital (New York: Monthly Review Press, 1966). The text as published here has been edited and includes notes by John Bellamy Foster. The style conforms to that of their book. Part of the original draft chapter, dealing with mental health, was still incomplete at the time of Baran's death in 1964, and consequently has not be included in this published version. For the larger intellectual context see the introduction to this issue.
Capitalism and the Fallacy of Crude Underconsumptionism
by Jonathan Penzner, Harry Magdoff and Paul M. Sweezy
Topics: Economic Theory , Marxism , Political Economy
The question of "underconsumptionism" is a tangled one—due not only to the commonplace fallacy associated with what is known as "crude underconsumptionism," but also because the term has been used at various times to refer to what Joseph Schumpeter in his History of Economic Analysis called "non-spending" or effective demand theories (the second in a typology of underconsumption theories designated by Schumpeter). Underconsumption in this sense, however, would encompass theorists like Keynes and Kalecki who focus not on underconsumption per se, but on underinvestment. Hence, the term is no longer applied to theories of this type (except by some Marxian critics of "underconsumptionism").… In the following exchange with Jonathan Penzner published in the April 1982 issue of Monthly Review, Harry Magdoff and Paul Sweezy, then editors of the magazine, pointed to the fallacy of crude underconsumptionism.
Some Theoretical Implications
Topics: Economic Theory , Marxism , Political Economy , Stagnation
That all is not well in the realm of bourgeois economic theory is strongly felt by its closest observers. Professor Mason's blunt statement that "the functioning of the corporate system has not to date been adequately explained," could hardly be contradicted by anyone familiar with contemporary economic literature. Its most conspicuous feature is, indeed, this very failure to come to grips with the most important aspects of what, one would think, should constitute its central problem.… The reasons for this striking reluctance to place the realities of modern capitalism where they belong: at the center of theoretical attention, are not far to seek… There can be no doubt that the model of a perfectly competitive market economy is "more tractable," that the examination of its manifold properties is more readily achievable by means of conventional tools of economic analysis than that of a system dominated by oligopolistic corporations. It may not be economics' claim to applause, but it is understandable that most of its practitioners prefer not to tackle "intractable" matters, but to move along the line of the least theoretic resistance. | more…
Last Letters
Correspondence on "Some Theoretical Implications"
Topics: Economic Theory , Philosophy , Political Economy
These "Last Letters" were written by Baran and Sweezy in late February and early March 1964 and concerned "Some Theoretical Implications," a chapter that Baran had drafted in 1962 and that they were then revising for their book Monopoly Capital. The discussion was cut short by Baran's death around two weeks later.… They are published here for the first time. | more…


What if we could use our phones as a transit ticket? We can reduce the use of paper fare tickets or the need to have the exact change when purchasing at a ticket machine. While checking the transit schedule from our phone, we can purchase and access our e-fares directly the site. Using the barcode system, a scanner at the ticket gate or on public transportation can read the account code from the phone screen. This application can be use for other purposes, such as accessing library card accounts or making purchases at local businesses.
Many municipalities have electronic fare collection systems, some which offer other agencies and even retailers co-use. I support the idea of a smart card, with reservations about "Big Brother". How much information do I want available about myself and to who? Additionally, I think having a card is better than a phone application. The ever-widening divide between technology have and not-haves is a concern for me as well. This is an interesting idea with significant implications for security, privacy, and equity to access that need be addressed in a broad form of civic discourse implementation.


Mitilini has more portside cafes than your average bustling harbor town. A cluster of chairs around the small lighthouse at the point heralds the most scenic (as well as the windiest) of the many small ouzeries that specialize in grilled octopus, squid, shrimp, and local fish. Some of the best restaurants are a short taxi ride outside the city.

Fashion Plates

Dames a la Mode
Journal des Dames et Des Modes
*THIS ARTICLE IS THE RESULT OF ONGOING RESEARCH AND IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS NEW INFORMATION IS FOUND*
From the French Wikipedia article: (and translated by Google Translate with a few tweaks by me for clarity)
"The Journal des Dames et des Modes is one of the first fashion journals illustrated in French, founded in 1797 by the bookseller Sellèque, taken in 1801 by Pierre Antoine Leboux of Mésangère and disappeared in 1839. This journal was published under several names: Journal des Dames, Costumes Parisien, Journal des modes, Journal de la Mésangère and finally Gazette des Salons for his latest release"
The plates are almost always marked at Costumes Parisien, but, as you can see, that isn't necessarily the title of the publication. For clarity and consistency, I always use the title "Journal des Dames..." when talking about this publication.
This all came about when someone asked me about a plate I posted on my fashion plate tumblr. She was curious about the date I had assigned to the plate. The very short answer was "that's what the source said" but I realize that isn't quite good enough. I started looking through all of my plates, and then my head exploded because it was so confusing. Thankfully, these plates are always numbered, so it was pretty easy to start putting them in order. My main problem is that I don't have all of the plates. I believe I only have about 25% of them, so I'm not working with the complete catalog.
The earliest ones are pretty easy, because most of them actually have the date right on the fashion plate. I have the first plate, which was #1, and it has a printed date of 1797. Easy peasy! The last dated plate I could find was plate #27 which has a printed date of 1798. Plate #19 also has a printed date of 1798 on it, but #15 is dated to 1797, so sometime in there, the dates changed.
Here is where it gets confusing (I know...stay with me!). Almost all of the plates have a little notation in the corner that says "An #". The first one we see is 6 and then they continue counting up. I knew this had to be the key, but I didn't know what the "an" stood for. I assumed it was an edition or issue number, but I just couldn't figure it out. Luckily, someone in a livejournal community has posted a plate that she dated to 1801. I asked her how she knew that date, and she said that the Journal des Dames plates were dated according to the French Revolutionary Calendar. AHA! All the sudden it made sense! "An" stood for Annee, the French word for year!
(Please see bottom of page for examples of these different plates)
I'm not going to get into the history of the Revolutionary Calendar, because it is awfully complicated (and Wikipedia has a pretty good explanation of it), but during the Revolution, the French developed a new calendar. From 1793 until 1805, they used this calendar. It started with year 1 of the new Republic, which they backdated to 1792. Year 2 was 1793, year 3, 1794, etc.. The trickiest part is that their year started on Sept. 22, so year 4 would be Sept 22, 1795 until Sept 21 1796 which, of course, makes dating these plates a little bit of a guessing game. We know that they earlier plates in the series date to the first few months of the year, but the later ones would be from the next year. Where do they switch from one year to the next? Very hard to say.
What I did was create a spreadsheet that lists all of the plates I have by number and organized them within a year. I then took the earliest and latest plate I had in the sequence, so I could see, ROUGHLY, where the sequence for a particular year started and ended.
Here's what I found:
An 6 (Sept 1797 to Sept 1798): Earliest Plate: #18* Latest Plate: #63
An 7 (Sept 1798 to Sept 1799): Earliest Plate: #65 Latest Plate: #156
An 8 (Sept 1799 to Sept 1800): Earliest Plate: #166 Latest Plate: #233
An 9 (Sept 1800 to Sept 1801): Earliest Plate: # 264 Latest Plate: #284
An 10 (Sept 1801 to Sept 1802): Earliest Plate#: #332 Latest Plate: #378
(*The publishers seem to be going back and forth about using the Revolutionary Calendar or the Gregorian Calendar in the early days, because plate #18 uses the "An 6" dating and plate #s 19, 21,22, and 27 have "1798" printed on them. I'll chalk that up to the growing pains of the journal. #27 is the last dated with the Gregorian Calendar I have in my collections. )
Clearly, there are a LOT of gaps in those numbers (I am missing almost fifty plates between AN 9 and AN 10!), but this is the basic guide that I could come up with. I think, without the descriptions of the garments (which I assume would mention seasons?) it will be nearly impossible to get exact Gregorian dates for most of these plates, but this narrows it down to a 6-month or so window of error.
By the way, my source for these plates is the Decorative Arts Museum of France, which is challenging to navigate for a non-speaker and doesn't offer much in the way of descriptions or dating.
Here are the Journal Des Dames et Des Modes fashion plates I have published on my Tumblr, Dames a la Mode.
I would LOVE to expand this information! If you have other plates in your collections and you can help me change the earliest and latest plate in sequence, please let me know!

The ADT Pulse OC835-ADT Outdoor Night HD Camera is perfect if you want to see your driveway or backyard from your ADT Pulse app.
It is a weatherproof, infrared, wifi camera much like the OC810, but this one will have 720P HD Quality Video! Unlike the RC8325 the OC835ADT has replaced the OC810ADT.
The OC835-ADT features built-in infrared LEDS enabling it to see in the dark and it has an IP66 water-resistance rating.
Watch a sample video of the ADT Pulse OC835-ADT Outdoor Night HD Camera here.
You can set these cameras to record on motion or other triggers. They can usually only record one 30 second clip every 5 minutes. If you want longer recordings you should talk to us about getting a Network Video Recorder and IP Cameras.
It comes with a wire that is around 6-10 feet long but if you want to power the camera inside the house like most do you will need to add additional wire to it. I recommend a 50ft piece that you can get here and 2 of these wire connectors to crimp on the wires.
We had a break-in a few weeks ago and were never able to catch the guy. I had a gut feeling they would come back. We got these cameras about a week ago and just Friday night they came back while we were out of town. We were able to get a clear view of those whippersnappers to send to the police. Love these cameras!

(AP Photo/Adrian Kraus)BUFFALO, N.Y. – Embarrassment for Brandon Montour and the Buffalo Sabres turned into relief on Wednesday night. The Sabres ended their 18-game skid — the NHL's longest in 17 years — with a resounding 6-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. AdThe Sabres also snapped a 0-9-2 home skid, one short of matching a franchise record set during the 1990-91 season. After Philadelphia's Ivan Provorov scored 3:50 into the second period, Buffalo responded by closing the period with goals from Fogarty and Casey Mittelstadt.
Elliott stops 23 shots in Flyers' 3-0 win over Sabres
The Flyers were spurred by a replenished lineup in which four players returned after spending two weeks in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol. They included Scott Laughton, who scored a breakaway goal to make it 3-0 late in the second period. Elliott improved to 5-1 this season and upped his career record to 15-2-2 with four shutouts against the Sabres, including a 40-save outing in a 3-0 win on Jan. 19. Elliott chalked up his dominance to opening his career with Ottawa, Buffalo's traditional Atlantic Division rival. The Sabres dropped to 2-6-1 in their past nine and played their second game without captain Jack Eichel, listed as day to day with a lower body injury.

Q: IPagedList OrderBy I want to create a generic repository, and have a method that returns an IPagedList like the following:
    public IPagedList<TEntity> GetPage(int? page, int? size)
    {
        IQueryable<TEntity> query = _dbSet; // DbSet<TEntity> _dbSet;
        return query.ToPagedList(page ?? 1, size ?? 10);
    }

However, IPagedList requires to add an OrderBy() or it throws the following message:

The method 'Skip' is only supported for sorted input in LINQ to
  Entities. The method 'OrderBy' must be called before the method
  'Skip'.

How can i achieve this, how can i add ordering for TEntity type?
I can have the method return IQueryable and do the paging on controller / caller and it works, but wanted to do this on the generic repository.

A: Make your TEntity more specific as in implementing either an abstract base class or an interface then update you method signature to reflect this.
To illustrate I have a mode class called Blog which implements interface IEntity
public interface IEntity
{
    Int32 Id { get; set; }
}
public class Blog : IEntity
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public String Name { get; set; }
}

Then you could update your Method signature like so:
public IPagedList<TEntity> GetPage<TEntity>(int? page, int? size) where TEntity : IEntity
{
    IQueryable<TEntity> query = _dbSet; // DbSet<TEntity> _dbSet;
    return query.OrderBy(x => x.Id).ToPagedList(page ?? 1, size ?? 10);
}

Alternatively you could use the handy Extension method from here Dynamic Linq OrderBy.
Then you could update your method signature to be
public IPagedList<TEntity> GetPage<TEntity>(int? page, int? size, string orderBy) where TEntity : IEntity
{
    IQueryable<TEntity> query = _dbSet; // DbSet<TEntity> _dbSet;
    return query.OrderBy(orderBy).ToPagedList(page ?? 1, size ?? 10);
}

You could easily extend this to also take sort direction into consideration

Anyone have an idea how much this job pays? SF is so expensive I don't know how people could work this job (or other TV jobs) and live there. I've read stories that people with high paying tech jobs have to look far out for "affordable" housing.
Being comfortable with roommates should also be in the job description, because there's no way this job pays enough to have your own place in SF proper. Or really anywhere within walking distance to a BART station.

It's the same in the immediate Bay Area. Oakland USED to be relatively cheap but gentrification has changed that, especially in the western part of the city. Lots of folks commute from Tracy and Stockton as well as Gilroy to the south.
I wonder if this CBSN project will expand to affiliates eventually?
If that was to happen, I'd see Cox Media Group's CBS affiliates taking first crack. After all, KIRO and WHIO already have 24/7 streaming channels.

I'd sooner see other ownership groups (namely the larger players like Sinclair, Nexstar, etc.) independently starting such services.

I see CBSN expansion as CBS' step towards detaching itself from needing TV affiliates. It's not that far fetched to possibly see networks not renew affiliate agreements within 10 years. I don't think that will happen that soon, but it could. CBS and other networks are in the video content business and are now going direct to consumer, cutting out the TV station and telecom middle men that take a cut.
Where does this leave TV stations? They either can't figure out how to adapt fast enough and fade into history, (ok, this part would probably be much more than 10 years out), or try to adapt. If broadcast networks ditch affiliates, station groups may start programming their own station groups as a "network" so to speak. But would there be enough quality content to go around?
Local stations have limited resources as it is to produce non-news programming, which is generally more expensive. Let's pretend it costs $500,000/year to produce a local weekly/daily non-news program. A company like Netflix can more easily afford to fund the project and "sell" it to a worldwide audience to make money compared to a TV station that ,at most, has an audience of several cities or maybe an entire state. This limits the content local stations can provide and makes it hard for them to compete with non-local content providers. So I wonder, is the future of local TV stations going to be just streaming news online with maybe a few other local shows that they try to sell subscriptions to a la Netfilx, and ditch an actual broadcast antenna?
As as much as this sounds bad for TV stations, the networks aren't going to be eager to drop affiliates until the networks themselves figure out their business model and revenue stream that would replace affiliates.
Sorry for the long post. Just thinking out loud.

As far as pay goes, Bay Area stations do have to offer competitive compensation if they want to find new hires. CBS can't offer the same pay in San Francisco as it does in Dallas. The Bay Area newsrooms are also generally more unionized than a lot of other markets, which theoretically increases pay. Theoretically.

I would imagine from this tweet from KCNC's news director that CBSN Denver is in the preparation stages:
https://twitter.com/CBS4Tim/status/1176229974996639749
I kind of feel like KCNC is going to need a new building, they are the only station in Denver still at their original facility and it woud be good to have more room for something like this, not that they can't make it work right now but it's worth investing in. Just got to find some property around downtown they can buy up.

Oh yeah. They are repurposing their old master control room (which is now in Atlanta). I'll let you know when I hear more.
Walt isn't interested in investing any more. They have big margins. That's how they remain the most profitable CBS O&O.
13 hours ago, ABC 7 Denver said:
Maybe that's why they should have a new building, I don't like the idea of a control room being outsourced to another state when people here in town would love to have jobs. I'm pretty sure between their margins and the ad revenue made during Broncos season that they can afford it, one day they may have no choice.

Uh... NBC's master control is in Centennial, CO. TEGNA's master control is in Jacksonville, FL. Scripps master control is in Indianapolis, IN. ABC's master control is in Burbank, CA.

a lot of stations have outsourced their master control. Look at 9NEWS & Channel 20 their master control is out of Jacksonville, FL where Tegna hubs it's NBC, ABC & MNTV stations. I believe Tegna hubs it's CBS stations out of Columbia SC.

Well, whether or not it's the new normal I wish the TV stations would keep their control room at their studio at home where if something goes wrong they only need to take a small walk and knock on a door instead of calling them on the phone without being able to provide hands-on assistance, plus it's just better for local-ism.

Nathan Wanhala's shoes were bloodstained. His finger was wrapped in gauze.
Hours before he stood in front of a Tulare County Sheriff's podium, he helped wrestle down a woman with a knife threatening to kill a 3-year-old girl and her mother.
Wanhala was one of 13 passengers onboard a Greyhound bus headed to Northern California. The trip was cut short at Highway 99 between Tulare and Visalia.
Witnesses said 48-year-old Teresa Madrigal attacked the mother and child, just 45 minutes after leaving the Bakersfield Station on Monday.
Wanhala along with another passenger quickly sprang into action.
"The lady showed her knife and started to get hysterical," Wanhala said. "She started stabbing the mother and that's when I jumped up and tried to grab the knife. I stabbed myself."
Passengers described Madrigal as a "crazy lady."
The mother was stabbed in the ribs with what passengers described as a butcher-style knife. The girl suffered minor injuries to her head when she fell.
Madrigal then turned the knife on herself.
She stabbed herself in the neck and leg, passenger Andrew Smith said. But she continued to fight.
She threatened to kill passengers if the bus driver stopped.
"We finally got [the knife] out of her hand and threw it to the back of the bus," Wanhala said. "I tried to restrain her. I grabbed both of her arms and tried to put them behind her back. There was so blood it was slipping."
The mother, whose name hasn't been released, was rushed to Kaweah Delta Medical Center in Visalia.
"I took off my sweatshirt and tore it in half and applied pressure to the [mother's] gash," Smith said. "She said, 'it hurts real bad.' I said I know and told her it would be OK."
Sheriff Mike Boudreaux called the men and women who rushed to help "heroes" and will be recognized by Tulare County law enforcement.
"I don't consider myself a hero," Wanhala said. "If I were in that same predicament, I hope someone else would help me."
Tulare County detectives were called to the scene at Caldwell Avenue (Avenue 280) and Highway 99. The bus was diverted around 2 p.m., Tulare County Sheriff's Department officials said.
Smith said the driver warned the Madrigal in Bakersfield and said if she continued to be confrontational she wouldn't be allowed back on the bus.
Another passenger, Tanya Wright, said she fell asleep during the ride but woke up to screaming.
"The next thing I heard was 'she has a knife, she has a knife," said Wright, who was heading to Oakland. "The baby reached out to me and I held her the entire time."
The child was 3, Wright said.
The Oakland woman said she never saw a knife but there was blood everywhere.
"The mom had a [cut] on her side," she said, "It was pretty traumatic."
The bus left Bakersfield around 1:15 p.m. and was headed toward Oregon with stops in between.
Deputies along with Tulare County Fire Department paramedics and California Highway Patrol officers were called to assist.
Wanhala was taken back home to Santa Cruz by sheriff's deputies. The child's aunt was flown in, using the sheriff's plane, from Sacramento.
Madrigal was later arrested. Traffic wasn't delayed because of the incident.


On February 10th, 2007, I screened my short puppet film, Jackson's Private Zoo at The California Institute for Abnormal Arts in North Hollywood, Angeles. The screening was part of the Festival of Mirth – The Love Show – an evening of puppet shows, circus acts, and music, curated by Satanica.

Wow, I never would have thought I'd run across a nursing-related position that actually offered a telecommuting option but today I did just that.
Sometimes I get asked about whether or not I keep up a resume and whether or not anyone looking for a telecommuting job should. So I figured I'd take time to answer that question today. Then I found an article that already does just that (and from an expert in the topic of resumes, no less).
Not too long ago I wrote a rather snarky piece about Finding Telework, prompted mostly by people commenting and sending me emails wanting to know THE place online to find legitimate jobs. I braced myself for some strong feedback because I tried to speak the truth and let's face it, total honestly isn't always well received.

Meet the couple who bought a 120-year-old Scottish mansion at auction by mistake
Although in an awful state of disrepair, they are determined to see the project through

Cal Hunter and Claire Segeren say they have fallen in love with their new derelict Scottish mansion despite heading to auction to buy something completely different.
The couple had their eyes on a two-bedroom flat in Glasgow, but headed out of the auction room owning a 120-year-old mansion by mistake.
They have since got over the initial shock of their blunder, and are determined to make a success of the huge DIY project, having set their sights on making profit from their £30,000 investment.
This is despite numerous problems involved in refurbishing Jameswood Villa, including partial collapse, subsidence, rotten timbers and a leaking roof, according to the Daily Record.
Cal, a 26-year-old from Hull, said: "We love the house and its stunning location in a village on the edge of a Scottish loch. It's all been a beautiful mistake.
"If we can tackle this, we can tackle anything – it's going to take us much longer than a year but just think of the life skills we are going to learn along the way."
It came as a bit of a shock
Despite experts advising they knock down the villa and start again, Claire, 25, and Cal have decided to refurbish the mansion and are currently living in a tiny caravan in the property's garden as repair begins.
Claire, who is from Toronto, said: "Discovering we had bought a massive derelict house that had been abandoned for 20 years and not a two-bedroom apartment did come as a bit of a shock.
"We had seen a flat we really liked in Pollokshields on the south side of Glasgow, which had been fire-damaged but we reckoned it would only take six months to fix up.
"Cal went to the auction and didn't realise the house before ours was being sold in three lots instead of one so he put his hand up and bid too soon.
"When he realised what he had done, he panicked and left the auction to ring me in Canada and tell me he had just bought the wrong house. "
Partial collapse, subsidence, rotten timbers and a leaking roof are some of the number of problems facing the mansion (Image: Sunday Mail)
Claire said the couple took advice from her father, who sated 'What's the worst that could happen?', as they had only paid £30,000.
"Neither of us are from Scotland so we had to look up Dunoon on the map and we were both relieved to see it wasn't that far from Glasgow," she said.
"But our relief turned to despair when Cal pulled up outside the house and saw it for the first time.
"It was in a state of partial collapse, it was subsiding, there were gaping holes in the roof and walls, the timbers were rotten and the land was waterlogged. Derelict was too mild a word."

It would be a sin to level it and start again
Despite the initial shock, they decided to take on the project and are determined to see it through.
"The house was built in 1900 and had a lovely feel to it and so much character, so that we felt it would be a sin to level it and start again, so we made the momentous decision to give it a go," said Claire.
"I had planned to do medicine at Glasgow University but, as I couldn't afford the increased fees for international students, we decided we would take a year out, buy a property and do it up to sell.
"We are doing as much of the work as we can by ourselves with help from our friends but there are some jobs that are proving just too big.
"I'm at the house full-time and Cal works every spare minute he has between the carpentry jobs he is doing to fund the renovations."
If our relationship can survive this, it can survive anything (Image: Sunday Mail)
After starting work on the house last November, they say they have hit road bumps every step of the way but have not been put off by the challenge.
"Finding a new problem seems to be a daily occurrence here at Jameswood," said Cal.
"Our van was getting stuck in the mud so we put down a driveway which we had to dig up a week later to find the elusive water supply.
"The house needs a new roof but a civil engineer has told us the walls probably won't be strong enough to hold it up so we will have to fix them first and risk the rain coming through the roof ruining them. It's like a huge catch-22 jigsaw puzzle."

Cal also said: "Our caravan has no running water or electricity, but our neighbours have been letting us use their shower and oven as we have been surviving by candlelight.
"We have been overwhelmed by the kindness of the people of Dunoon. They think we are lunatics taking on such a big project but they have been offering us lots of encouragement and support.
"Many have got in touch with us through our blog 'WhathaveweDunoon?' and have given us technical advice or pointed us in the direction of old building supplies that are going spare."

Claire believes the project is a good way of testing their relationship, and said that if they can survive this, they can survive anything.
The end goal is to turn Jameswood into three separate apartments, selling two of them to pay back debts and keeping the third.
Cal added: "If everything goes to plan, we will be mortgage-free while still in our 20s, which would be a great achievement, but who knows?
"We may have bought the wrong house but, to us it was a happy accident – one which we are embracing rather than despairing over."

March 2, 2020 — Hughes Hubbard acted as lead legal advisor to Grab, Southeast Asia's leading super app, in securing $706 million in funding from MUFG, Japan's largest bank, aimed at creating accessible and affordable financial services in the region.
On Feb. 25, Grab announced the funding, which included an additional $150 million from Tokyo-based TIS Inc. – the leading provider of network solutions and system integration services – for a total of $856 million.
Under their agreement, Grab and MUFG will co-develop next generation financial products and services based on their combined customer insights to better cater to the financial needs of Grab's users, driver-partners and merchant-partners.
The proceeds from TIS's investment will be directed towards enhancing the digital payment infrastructure in the region and in Japan to enable greater adoption of cashless payment options, such as GrabPay. Both companies will also collaborate on developing emerging payment technologies.
"We are excited to work with our partners MUFG and TIS to co-develop financial products and solutions for the region," Grab President Ming Maa said in a statement. "Ensuring greater access to affordable and accessible financial services and products is key to growing financial inclusion in Southeast Asia. The continued support from world-leading investors demonstrates their confidence in Grab's super app strategy and our ability to build a sustainable long-term business."
Founded in 2012, Grab is the leading super app in Southeast Asia, offering on-demand transport, food delivery and financial services across 339 cities in eight countries.
The investment drew coverage in the Financial Times, Bloomberg News, Reuters, Fortune.com, The Deal Pipeline and other news outlets.

The Chicago Blackhawks are in Calgary tonight where they take on the Flames. The Blackhawks have played the Flames well over the past few seasons winning 7 of the last 10 meetings overall and 3 of the last 4 played in Calgary. This has also been a low scoring series over the years with 9 of the last 11 games going under the total so that might be something worth taking a look at as well.
Under is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings.
Blackhawks are 23-9 in the last 32 meetings.
The Calgary Flames are 6th in the Pacific Division with 15 points 9 points back of the 1st place LA Kings. The Flames had a super rough start this season losing 9 of their first 11 games in large part due to their horrendous defense who allowed 4+ goals in 10 of their first 13 games. They have however tightened up their defense since then allowing just 16 goals over their last 7 games and that has translated into winning a few more games with 4 wins over those 7 games.
Flames are 7-15 in their last 22 overall.
Flames are 4-12 in their last 16 Friday games.
The Chicago Blackhawks are 5th in the Central Division with 23 points 9 points behind the 1st place Dallas Stars. The Blackhawks have been playing some pretty solid hockey so far this season but they have played a lot of easy teams and they have also won 4 of the 5 overtime games they have played including two of which were back to back 1-0 wins so I would like to see a bit more offense from the Hawks. The Blackhawks have played great at home this season but they have struggled a bit on the road with just a 3-5 record. Away from home the Blackhawks are averaging just 2.38 goals per game on offense while allowing 3.25 goals per game on defense for a -0.87 goal differential so that's the reason for the poor road record.
Blackhawks are 8-2 in their last 10 games playing on 1 days rest.
Blackhawks are 14-3 in their last 17 vs. Pacific.
I'm going with the Chicago Blackhawks over the Flames in this one. I think the Blackhawks are obviously the much better team overall and even though the Flames have been playing much better of late they are still one of the worst teams in the league.


The Waves Hotel at Myrtle Beach is close to all the action, yet a little removed from the craziness. We are just North on Ocean Boulevard to be part of the strip, yet things are a little more relaxed where we are located. You can still walk to numerous restaurants, stores and attractions.
We are located directly off North Ocean Blvd. which runs parallel to North Kings Highway 17, directly on the ocean.

Blog posts titled Wuthering Moors are about the issue of burning of blanket bogs by grouse shooting estates (e.g. Wuthering Moors 28, 15 October 2012), the inability of the government agency Natural England to do its job properly on regulating landowners on protected moorland sites (Wuthering Moors 68 – the background to an unlawful decision, 11 May 2018 and Wuthering Moors 67 – a significant victory, 10 May 2018) , and the pickle into which the UK government has got itself with the European Commission over its poor implementation of the Habitats Directive (eg Wuthering Moors 70 – EU infraction proceedings, 13 August 2018).
Today the quite wonderful Guy Shrubsole has released the list of estates that have signed up to Defra's worthless promise not to burn blanket bogs – see here – and also those who have not made the pledge.
Most notable of all the estates is the fact that Walshaw Moor estate appears not to have signed up to Defra's MoU which is not worth the paper it is written on. Almost everybody else has signed up (including the likes of the Bleasdale and Abbeystead estates in Bowland).
The apparent unwillingness of Walshaw Moor to sign up is particularly interesting given that this long and sorry tale started with events on Walshaw Moor back in the mists of time – or at least as far back as 2011 and actually further back than that (see my book Inglorious – conflict in the uplands for a readable account of events and search this site for all 'Wuthering Moors' posts for a staccato, ongoing update.
I have a certain amount of respect for the millionaire owner of Walshaw Moor, Richard Bannister, who seems to plough his own furrow, and his own grouse moor, more or less as he pleases without too much notice of what everyone else is doing.
On Twitter I see that today, the day when the heather burning season opens in England, the fires are burning above Hebden Bridge. Whether this is on Walshaw Moor I don't know for certain but it certainly looks like it to me, and whether this is on blanket bog or heathland I cannot tell. It would be interesting to know, but difficult to be sure at this stage.
Also notable absentees from the list of estates promising (in a non-binding agreement) not to burn blanket bogs are the Mossdale Estate owned by the van Cutsem family and the Crag Estate in the Peak District. Interesting.
What we need is some citizen science monitoring of grouse moor estates to check whether they're keeping to their word during the burning season. It's a daunting task – how do you keep tabs on what happens over half a million acres of upland? – but I hope the revelation of this list, and our evolving map of grouse moor estates, can help.
And let's be clear. Any instance of an estate going back on its word, and carrying out rotational burning despite its pledge not to, should be further reason for Michael Gove to ban moorland burning outright.
Didn't see any burning on north east Peak today but only got out there late afternoon. Will check more in coming weeks.
Mark - am I right in thinking that not only will all these estates be getting the basic flat rate payment for simply farming land, but also top ups because they are SSSIs etc ? Your thoughts on the future of the uplands in the Manifesto would surely result in a direct cash saving even before taking into account the carbon, water and wildlife benefits ?
All you need is a GPS (free phone app) and a walking pole to measure the depth of the peat. We should all read the muirburn code and record the breaches. It would be good if there was a central site where we could record them all. Lets build the body of evidence into a mountain.
Seems barmy that we monitor a worthless MoU, which was effectively PR spin bowling for the politicians to be seen to address the issue. But, as mentioned above a series of dates, sites along with images (stills or videos) to be used as evidence adds grist to the mill as they say.
One might be forgiven for pondering if the payments such estates receive might be rescinded if they breach MoU etc.?
I have always felt since I read the manifesto for wildlife that each of the 200 aims split between the ministries need a separate platform for implementation. I did build a demonstration set of websites for 3 of the ministries and for the setting up of LIFE UK but have taken it no further. Is there any interest in me making this visible?
The reporting of the burning of blanket bog by the public is a superb example of how we can move from liking the manifesto to actual implementation.
In the case of blanket bog, the suggestions here of what a walker needs to take with him to record possible infractions together with a website where they could be recorded with the needed information, a central mapping system as already exists for other records, and we would have a formidable body of evidence gathered which would be difficult to challenge. The hedgehog hole would require someone to propose actual changes in legislation, and lead politician/s and a "celebrity" sponsor or NGO. A blog could record progress and communication by people to their MPs in England or devolved politicians elsewhere. I would not underestimate how difficult it may be but the rewards may be rapid implementation in some cases.
In Scotland, reporting burning on peatland (maps of peatland are available online) to the local RPID office should be the first action. Give them solid evidence of burning contrary to the Muirburn Code and they can penalise payments for the breach.
Yesterday afternoon saw us driving towards Kirby Lonsdale. Far to our left, maybe north east Howgills, was a burn in progress.
Bearing in mind that Mark highlighted the start of the season only last week and a commenter made the point that we wouldn't see burns until the new year, I joked to my wife that we should take a photo.
Given the comments made here, I wish I had.
I've seen smoke from Blubberhouses Moor, Nidderdale in North Yorkshire over the past couple of days. Who does this moorland belong to?
No smoke today though, just rain.

The AI-First Database Ecosystem
Bob van Luijt
A new ecosystem of smaller companies is ushering in a "third wave" of AI-first database technology. New search engines and databases brilliantly answer queries posed in natural language, but their machine-learning models are not limited to text searches. The same approach can also be used to search anything from images to DNA.
Much of the software involved is open source, so it functions transparently and users can customize it to meet their specific needs. Clients can retain control of their data, keeping it safely behind their own firewalls.
How We Got Here
First-wave database technology is often called by the acronym SQL—the initials of a ubiquitous query language used to manage relational databases, which are conceptually similar to spreadsheets or tables. Throughout the 1980s, this technology was dominated by companies like Oracle and Microsoft.
The second wave of databases is called "NoSQL". These are the domain of companies like MongoDB. They store data in different ways, for example, key-value stores, document stores, wide-column stores and graph databases, but what they all have in common is that they're not relational tables. Among a long list of capabilities, first- and second-wave databases have their strengths. For example, some are very good at finding every instance of a certain value in a database, and others are very good at storing time sequences.
The third wave of database technologies focuses on data that is processed by a machine learning model first, where the AI models help in processing, storing and searching through the data as opposed to traditional ways.
To better understand the concept, think of a supermarket with 50,000 items. Items on display are not organized alphabetically or by price, the way you'd expect a structured, digital system to do it; they're placed in context. You find things in the supermarket by understanding how they relate to each other. So if the store gets a new product—say, guavas—you know to look near the apples and bananas, not near garbage bags or other things that happen to also cost $1.98/lb.
A key early milestone in the third wave happened in 2015 when Google changed its search algorithm from one based on page rankings to one based on a machine learning model that it dubbed RankBrain. Before then, Google's search engine was essentially a high-powered keyword search that ranked websites by the number of other sites that linked back to them. Essentially, Google trusted rankings to the collective users of the Internet.
That "wisdom of the crowd" approach worked, but to improve the quality of the results it returned, Google needed RankBrain to "understand" the text it searched through. So, it used machine learning to vectorize (the process happening inside machine learning models such as transformers) text on sites and in links.
Returning to the grocery store for a moment, the challenge comes because a grocery store is a three-dimensional space, but every significant word in unstructured text data needs to be related to hundreds of other words that it is frequently associated with. So, machine learning systems automatically classify text in hypervolumes—imaginary spaces with hundreds or even thousands of dimensions. For any given item in a database, those vectors form what's known as a "representation" of the item.
Since it conveys both content and context, such a representation obviously presents a more complete and nuanced data picture. The challenge comes from searching through myriad dimensions. Initially, this was done with a brute force approach, looking at every vector associated with every entry. Needless to say, that approach didn't scale.
One breakthrough that helped third-wave search engines to scale was an approach called "approximate nearest neighbor" (ANN) search. If we make one final trip to the supermarket to understand what a guava is, we could look at the things around it—other fruit. Somewhat further away we might find guava juice or tinned guavas, but there's really no reason to look four aisles over for guava-flavored cat food.
Using ANN allowed high-dimensional searches with near-perfect accuracy to be returned in milliseconds instead of hours. To be practical, vector databases also needed something prosaically called CRUD support. That stands for "create, read, update and delete," and solving that technical challenge meant that the complex process of indexing the database could be done once, rather than being repeated from scratch whenever the database was updated.
This leads to the simplest definition of a third wave database: A vector database stores data indexed by machine learning models. Different types of databases (e.g., vector search engines) allow users to search through these vectorized datasets and others (e.g., feature stores) allow users to store vectors on a large scale for later use.
We're awash in unstructured data.
We're living in a time of massive data accumulation and much, if not most of it, is unstructured: text, photos, video, audio files, as well as other things such as genetic information. Vector search is particularly good at extracting value from such data.
Tech giants like Google, AWS, or Microsoft Azure offer their vector search capabilities to customers willing to upload their data. But there's now an ecosystem of newer companies with AI-first specific (often open-source) solutions and vector-search capabilities that customers can run on a SaaS basis or on their own systems.
The AI-first Database Ecosystem
The companies that make up this ecosystem provide specialized services that overlap to various degrees. Combined, four sub-groups make up the ecosystem.
Embedding providers (e.g., Hugging Face or OpenAI)
Neural framework (e.g., deepset or Jina)
Feature stores (e.g., FeatureBase, FeatureForm or Tecton)
Vector search engines (e.g., Weaviate or Vertex)
While the number of data that companies are collecting in their data warehouses keeps growing, the need for better, more efficient searches keeps growing too. The more data we collect, the more complex searching through it becomes. Thanks to the advances in machine learning in the past decade and the commoditization of AI-first database technologies, you can start using it in your business tomorrow.

American Literary Manuscripts
11.5 Linear Feet
The American Literary Manuscripts Records (accession #5-6-81) (8,098 items, 10.8 lf; dated 1930-1979) documents the process by which the guide was created. It contains the correspondence of J. A. Robbins with each of his editors for each region of the United States (the Regional Chairmen), copies of the directives sent to participating libraries, copies of the master list of names to be checked, minutes of editorial board meetings, descriptions of the project, a proposal for a computerized updating of the census of library holdings of American literary manuscripts, negotiations with the publisher, grant requests, and reports. The correspondence between Midwest Regional Chairman, George Hendrick, and his Regional Associates is included in order to demonstrate how the project operated. The questionnaires returned by the libraries in that region are included. There are also ten printouts, included as a random sampling of printouts required. Acquired as part of the Jay B. Hubbell Center for American Literary Historiography.
The addition (accession #89-093) (500 items, 1 lf; dated 1962-1981) contains correspondence, background material, page proofs, post-publication additions and corrections, and publicity relating primarily to the 2nd edition of American Literary Manuscripts published in 1977. It updates the earlier edition published in 1960.
In 1930 Professor Jay B. Hubbell proposed to the American Literature Group of the Modern Language Association of America that it should gather into an index or catalog a record of the enormous amount of manuscript materials in American literature so researchers and users could readily locate the materials needed. Dr. Hubbell was then asked to form a committee to formulate a plan. The committee, made up of Professors Hubbell, Kenneth B. Murdock, Ralph L. Rusk, and Robert Spiller contracted the American Historical Association, which was planning a similar program for history materials. The two groups decided to join forces and compile a document relating to manuscripts of American literature and to all phases of American history. Funding problems caused this venture to stalemate.
The idea was kept alive, however, and in 1941 another committee chaired by Robert Spiller was formed and instructed to gather information on materials of American literary history. This committee prepared in essay form a "Guide to Resources for Research in American Literary History: A Preliminary Survey" from data gathered informally--for the most part by personal interview and correspondence. The second World War caused plans for publication to be deferred.
Using the material collected in the 1940s as a basis for renewed efforts, a new committee chaired by Lewis Leary was formed in 1950 to study the feasibility of continued work, since much of the previous work had been used in volume 3 of the Literary History of the United States. The issue was discussed in a seminar, "A Survey and Inventory of American Literary Manuscripts," at the 1950 meeting of MLA. The result was formal agreement on the need for some form of guide to manuscript resources. The seminar recommended formation of a committee on literary resources with Leary as chairman.
In 1951 a working committee was appointed to devise procedures and to commence gathering of data for eventual publication of such a guide. This committee was composed of Joseph Jones, chairman, University of Texas; Ernest Marchand, San Diego State College; H. Dan Piper, California Institute of Technology; J. Albert Robbins, Indiana University; and Herman E. Spivey, University of Tennessee.
The purpose of this project was to provide for scholars a helpful new aid in their perpetual search for new material. The first edition published in 1960 indicates the nature and scope of American literary manuscripts in over 270 libraries pertaining to approximately 2,350 American writers. The specific primary purpose, as stated in the preface of this publication, "is to assist scholars, librarians, dealers, and collectors in locating primary source materials relating to American authors; to locate primary manuscript sources with far greater use and accuracy than formerly; to encourage collectors to deposit manuscripts where they might be of greatest use and utility; and to encourage librarians to think creatively about their collections and to lend encouragement to manuscript departments."
The project was begun by compiling an extensive list of writers, publishers, and critics, and then formulating eight categories distinguished by symbols that would accurately record the extent and variety of holdings--manuscripts, journals, letters by and to, documents, etc. A checklist containing some 2,000 names of American authors was then sent to American libraries--academic, fraternal, historical, public, etc.--with instructions as to how to apply and to list the eight categories of holdings. After the holdings were compiled on cards a preliminary draft was produced and circulated for rechecking. The resulting master file of reporting libraries formed the 1960 edition of American Literary Manuscripts.
With publication of this volume, the American Literature Section of MLA authorized continuance of the committee with J. Albert Robbins as chairman of the new group. In 1969 it was felt that a revision and update were needed. The American Literature Section of MLA again sponsored the project with John Albert Robbins as chairman of the editorial board, which consisted of Professors A.W. Plumstead, University of Massachusetts; Joseph V. Ridgely, Columbia University; Kimball King, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill; F. Warren Roberts, University of Texas; George Hendrick, University of Illinois; Edward P. Nolan, University of Colorado; and John Stafford, San Fernando Valley State College.
The 1960 list of authors was retained as a base and expanded to include 2,750 authors, publishers, and critics whose names were to be checked for locations and holdings of manuscripts and other papers. The United States was divided into first seven, then later, eight regions, with each member of the editorial board acting as a regional chairman. Each regional chairman then chose regional associates within his region to solicit and coordinate the holdings of the area assigned to him. During the first year J. V. Ridgely and John Stafford resigned. The Middle Atlantic region was divided into two regions and Professors Alan Margolies of John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY, and Leo Weigant of the University of Maryland were chosen to replace J. V. Ridgely. Professor Thomas Wortham, University of California, Los Angeles, replaced John Stafford in the Pacific Coast area. Sixty-three regional associates were chosen.
The 1960 edition of American Literary Manuscripts was put on computer tape and print-outs of the holdings reported by individual libraries were distributed by the regional chairmen for rechecking, updating, and revision along with instructions for listing new additions and new authors. A completely new list could be compiled if the library so desired. When all the participating libraries and depositories completed their listings they sent the compilations to the regional associates who, in turn, sent them to the regional chairmen. They edited the lists before sending them to Professor Robbins, who did the overall editing and transferring of the findings to computer tape. Print-outs were again sent to the libraries for verification, correction, and updating to 1975. When these were returned and all corrections and additions were listed, the data was inverted to provide an alphabetical list by author and the master tape was sent to the publisher for machine-set composition. The volume was printed from the computer tapes by the University of Georgia Press in 1977.
The American Literary Manuscripts Records was received by the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book Manuscript Library as a gift in 1981 and 1989.

Francis Coquelin's Arsenal contract dilemma
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Patrick Vieira-Roy Keane personal battle remains one of the most distinguished player rivalries of the Premier League era, with the pair essential to the successful Arsenal and Manchester United sides of the 2000's.
There is an argument to suggest that neither club have yet replaced their respective defensive midfield enforcer, with Arsenal in particular being targeted for criticism as a side that play neat football but lack the drive and toughness in the boiler room that the Frenchman offered.
Alex Song was seen in some quarters as a player with the attributes to act as a holding midfielder of quality before being offloaded to Barcelona, while Mathieu Flamini has shown doggedness over the years but lacks the pedigree of other top-notch opponents.
However, in recent weeks another name has emerged a potential contender to be the North London outfit's designated midfield enforcer in the long run, with Francis Coquelin offered a first-team opportunity with others unavailable.
The 23-year-old Frenchman has started four Premier League games since late December, three of which Arsène Wenger's men have won, including an impressive 2-0 victory at the Etihad Stadium.
Coquelin has been on Arsenal's books since 2008, with loan spells at Lorient, Freiburg and Charlton giving the midfielder the opportunity to play first-team football.
Before this season Coquelin had only made nine Arsenal starts in the Premier League and has always been identified as a player that has potential but not been offered a consistent chance to prove his ability.
His versatility has meant that any chance he did get in the Arsenal side was more often than not as a full-back, with the opportunity to step out in his preferred central midfield position not forthcoming.
The Frenchman was playing in The Championship a month ago at The Valley, but was recalled by the Gunners due to a spate of central midfield injuries to regular starting XI members.
Coquelin must be praised for his attitude and the way that he has applied himself since returning to the Emirates Stadium, with the midfielder putting in a number of accomplished performances and looking like a real asset in the heart of Arsenal's midfield.
He has been praised by Wenger, the club's fans and the media for his showings in big games and as a result is said to have been offered a new contract by the North London club.
Coquelin's current deal expires this summer and the player looked odds-on to end his seven-year tenure in North London, but he now has the opportunity to renew his contract.
However, despite the fact that the Frenchman has shown that he is more than good enough to play in the Premier League and for Arsenal, Coquelin would be advised to weigh up the club's offer before putting pen-to-paper.
With the likes of Flamini, Mikel Arteta, Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey, Abou Diaby and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain all in competition for a place in central midfield, once others return to availability the former France under-21 man could well find himself back on the outskirts.
Secondly, Arsenal are linked with deep-lying midfield players in the transfer market on a weekly basis and there is still a chance that new faces could arrive this summer.
The counter argument to this is that the Gunners have not signed an out-and-out defensive midfielder of note in years, which tells something about Wenger's mindset.
Although the manager has been deplored from the club's fans to sign a player in Vieira's ilk, he hasn't done so – why?
It is not an issue of finances, as the big-money purchases of Mesut Özil and Alexis Sánchez prove.
It may well be that the French head coach simply does not want to play with a designated enforcer and feels the likes of Wilshere or Arteta can be a worthy, more-technical alternative.
This year has been an eventful one for Coquelin; one that has given him the opportunity he has craved for since turning professional – playing consistently in Arsenal's first team.
However, just how long this run of games will last remains to be seen, with competition for places and big-name team-mates surely in Coquelin's thinking when he mulls over whether or not to pen an Arsenal extension.
