"Some people have a grand vision of one place where someone can find any piece of information, but the best solution may be getting different institutions to cooperate with each other," said Richard Wandel of the Archivists Round Table of New York.
Historians also fear there some stories may be overlooked or lost. They are eager to record the accounts of mental health workers, the stories of the Arab community in New York City, and anything that can help the city learn to respond to catastrophes. To help in the effort, the New York State Archivists are awarding g...
"We need to continually look for what stories need to be told, how best to tell them, and which stories are being overlooked," said Roe.
Like it or not, the moment Sarah Palin gives even the slightest hint of a breath of a word that she's gone from "seriously thinking about" a run to definitely running for president in 2012, the blogosphere will explode in a tizzy unlike anything we've ever seen. (Since the Lebronocalypse, at least). But until Palin, wh...
Palin doesn't need specific policies to crank up the energy -- or even specific criticisms of Obama. She knows that injecting emotion into the conversation is the most efficient way to spark a movement.
Apparently her continued visibility—thanks, US Weekly—is enough for Halperin and many other top political analysts to consider her the game changing candidate that she very well could be. That is, if she ever gets around to becoming an actual candidate.
PASADENA — Cleaning the glass was key to the Muir High girls' basketball team keeping a spotless Pacific League record when Crescenta Valley visited Tuesday.
The Mustangs out rebounded the Falcons by 22 in the second half to maintain a healthy lead and pull off a 45-34 home victory.
Muir's Emoni Jackson, who finished with a game-high 22 points and 11 rebounds, said the boards are always key.
"We always focus on rebounds because if you get the rebound its another second chance and those rebounds might be important when it comes to close games," Jackson said.
Crescenta Valley Coach Jason Perez said he believed luck also wasn't on his team's side Tuesday.
"In the first four or five minutes of the second half we came out here and absolutely outplayed them, but we missed about five in-and-out shots that just didn't fall," Perez said. "I think if you hit some of those it's a whole different ball game."
The Mustangs were also dealt some bad news when they possibly lost senior forward and captain Tyler Polk for the rest of the year when she re-injured her right knee late in the third quarter. It was her first appearance this season after she sat out the first 19 games of the campaign with the injured knee.
"I think that's it for her, she got cleared to play and that happens," Muir Coach Gary Johnson said. "That's a blow because to be honest, she's the cornerstone to our team, she's the glue.
"I knew once we got her back we'd be in really good shape, but it looks like we won't. Now the other girls have to step up and fill that void."
Jackson carried the load for Muir, ranked third in CIF Southern Section Division IV-AA, on offense, defense and the boards. Not only did she set game-highs in points and rebounds, but she guarded Crescenta Valley's primary offensive weapon, Ella Stepanian, who finished with 11 points after being held scoreless in the f...
Crescenta Valley also received 10 points, five rebounds and four steals from Catherine Davis and nine points and five boards from Samira Seraji.
The Falcons (10-8, 2-4 in league) never let the game get out of reach. Davis hit a three-pointer with seven seconds left in the first quarter to cut her team's deficit to 16-11. She hit another three with a minute left in the second quarter to cut Muir's lead to 24-17.
Tahniya Sweatt (11 rebounds, nine points) sent the Mustangs (17-3, 6-0) into halftime with a 26-17 lead after hitting a running layup in the final minute of the half. Muir improved on its edge in the second half by out rebounding the Falcons, 27-7.
"They started getting a lot of offensive rebounds because we were getting a little tired," Perez said. "They had a little bit more depth than we did and more height and size inside."
Down, 33-21, late in the third quarter, Stepanian looked to bring the Falcons back when she hit a deep three-pointer. A minute later she laid one up and in following a Davis steal to bring the score to 33-26 with a 1:30 left in the third.
Muir pushed back out to a 38-26 lead before the final quarter on a put back bucket from Sweatt and a converted an and-one opportunity from Jackson. Jackson scored all seven of her team's fourth-quarter points.

The much-anticipated Amtrak Writer's Residency is now taking applications.
Yes, the residency is officially official! Up to 24 writers will be accepted into the program, which will provide one free round-trip ticket on a long-distance train, complete with a sleeper car that has a bed and a desk and "a window to watch the American countryside roll by for inspiration."
Neither the application nor the terms and conditions say that food will be provided, but I actually traveled in an Amtrak sleeper car last year and meals were included as part of the ticket. A ticket that I, like an idiot, paid for. If only I had known!
Amtrak says the "sole criteria" for selection to its residency program are "a passion for writing and an aspiration to travel with Amtrak for inspiration," so you don't have to be a professional and experienced writer to have a chance, though you will need provide a sample of your writing. You also have to have a Twitt...
While you have until March 31 to apply, it's best to do so as soon as possible, as entries as being judged on a rolling basis starting March 17. If the residency is as popular in reality as it has been on social media, you'll have a lot of competition.
Residencies will last between two and five days, though "special projects" may get more time.
Here's the application. Good luck!
Congratulations on your February 21 issue—most stimulating! Egypt, a left-wing Tea Party, feminism in Iceland and Marshall Ganz teaching us David sometimes wins!
The Egyptian protester shown carrying a cellphone instead of a gun?—it worked!
Corporate Citizens: Pay Your Taxes!
Johann Hari’s “The UK’s Left-Wing Tea Party” [Feb. 21] is huge. Has anyone picked a target corporation and commenced action that we here in Washington can join? Let’s get it going!
Johann Hari’s article on protests against tax dodgers in England presents a great example of creative tactics largely using social media. What Hari does not present, however, is a credible organizing model for a progressive equivalent to the Tea Party.
First, the Tea Party may be odious and destructive, but it has a comprehensive political vision—eliminate social programs, shrink government, deregulate big business and let individual Americans do whatever the heck they want. Because of this clear vision, the Tea Party not only cast doubt on healthcare reform but push...
The British protesters Hari describes are against corporations and the rich dodging taxes. But what are they for? Do they represent a pro-tax “movement”? Do they defend taxes for everyone, or even call on the government to raise taxes? Unlike conservatives, US progressives have long been hobbled by their lack of a visi...
Mobilizations can become transformational movements—but that takes deep organizing and a positive long-term vision.
Mark Stevenson: you can find a map of all planned US Uncut protests at usuncut.org/actions/list. If there isn’t one in your area yet, it’s very easy to arrange one and add it to the map. Let me know how it goes!
Sally Kohn: UK Uncut has a very clear vision. The British government says every day that the only way to deal with its budget deficit is to dismantle public services and make the middle class and poor pay. UK Uncut says that the government should instead collect the £120 billion the superrich are currently avoiding and...
Kohn asks, the protesters “are against corporations and the rich dodging taxes. But what are they for?” It’s there in my article and in everything UK Uncut says: preserving and extending the welfare state that has been built up by centuries of activism and preserving all the things we value about our country—from publi...
I agree that “‘organizing’ is a more sustained process that builds individual and group power to identify goals and engage in sustained action to achieve them.” If Kohn wants an inspiring model of that, she’s welcome at a UK or US Uncut meeting anytime.
Gary Younge’s March 7/14 “Beneath the Radar” column, titled “Selling History Short in Mississippi” stated that “[Diane] Nash and other original freedom fighters will not be attending” a reception honoring Freedom Riders being hosted by Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour.

Following a rash of rib injuries in recent weeks, the Pittsburgh Steelers now are dealing with two bad ankles.
Offensive tackle Mike Adams and linebacker LaMarr Woodley both left Sunday's 20-14 loss to the Cleveland Browns with ankle injuries.
Adams was hurt in the third quarter and carted off the field. He did not return to the game. Rookie Kelvin Beachum took Adams' spot at right tackle on a banged-up Pittsburgh line.
Woodley was injured in the first quarter, but he tried to return after having his ankle taped. That didn't go well for the veteran linebacker, and he didn't return to the game after being listed as questionable.
Two people are in hospital after a US police officer ran them over while they were watching the super blood moon eclipse.
The man and woman, both 24, were lying on the ground on North Jog Road in West Palm Beach on Sunday evening when the incident happened.
According to WPBF News, the officer was patrolling the Apoxee Trail, a nature preserve, when he accidentally ran over the two skygazers who were on the road.
There is no suggestion the action was deliberate.
The man and woman were both taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
According to the West Palm Beach Police Department, the officer was driving a Ford Explorer at less than 10km/h.
The unnamed officer has been suspended with pay while an investigation is underway.
For anyone in the fire and emergency services, active or retired, who was serving anywhere in the United States (and across the globe, for that matter) on Sept. 11, 2001, the phrase "never forget" has a clear and unambiguous meaning.
We know what it means; we know who it's about; and we also know that none of us are in any danger of forgetting, no matter how many years pass between us and that tragic day in New York City, Arlington, Va., and Shanksville, Pa.
It occurred to me yesterday, however, not for the first time but perhaps for the strongest (yet), that there's an entire generation of Americans who weren't even born on 9/11. As I stood before a group of youth football players between 8 and 12 years old, from two localities that responded to the Pentagon that terrible...
These children, now almost young adults, just like my own kids, didn't experience 9/11 in the fire service or elsewhere. They don't know what it felt like for our country to be attacked on our own soil. They don't know what it felt like to see the Twin Towers collapse, to watch our nation's fortress burn, or to hear th...
But yet, there they stood. With their hands on their hearts, singing (mostly) our national anthem, and then quietly (quieter than a group of young football players should be) honoring the memory of our fallen heroes, along with the sacrifices of those still on-duty, at home and overseas.
Hallowed memories for some, hallowed ground for all, and our shared duty to ensure nobody ever forgets.
As quickly as it began, Microsoft's fling with comedian Jerry Seinfeld has come to an end. In a development first reported by Valleywag, Microsoft announced today that the Bill & Jerry "teaser ads" that launched two weeks ago were always meant to be short-lived, and that they would give way to a new series of ads start...
When it was first rumored that Microsoft had commissioned Seinfeld as part of its $300 million ad campaign to turn around the image of Windows Vista, the world scratched its head. After all, what was Microsoft trying to do—be young and hip (with an older, practically retired comic) just like those crazy kids in the "Ge...
Microsoft says that the new, post-Seinfeld ads will focus on "tearing down the walls," and will "celebrate the diversity and passion of consumers around the world who use Windows to stay in touch with the people, information and ideas that they care about." What, exactly, that means is still a little up in the air, as ...
Whether the general public will receive these ads well remains to be seen. Microsoft hopes to fight back against the stereotype that Apple has painted of the PC and its users, but acknowledging to the world that it's squarely behind a competitor when it comes to being hip and in-touch with user needs hasn't worked out ...
Two Sprint Cup drivers are defying the “win and you’re in” mentality of this year’s Chase to the NASCAR championship. Both Ryan Newman and Matt Kenseth have not made it to the winner’s circle yet this season, but both men have made it to the third round of the Chase, known as the “eliminator” round.
Newman and Kenseth are two of the eight drivers vying for one of four spots in the final race of the Chase that will determine this year’s Sprint Cup champion. Sunday’s race in Texas is the second race in the eliminator round and Kenseth will lead the other Chase contenders at the start of the race since he won the Coo...
As USA Today reported, the eight Chase contenders in the eliminator round failed to guarantee their spot in the Chase finale at Homestead by not winning last Sunday at Martinsville, which was the first eliminator race. That makes this week’s NASCAR race all the more important, especially for drivers that had trouble at...
Kevin Harvick crashed in Martinsville and, despite his strong runs this season, he could face elimination if he doesn’t do well this Sunday. Currently, Harvick is 28 points behind the Chase leader, Jeff Gordon. Brad Keselowski also had a tough race at Martinsville, having mechanical issues with 65 laps to go, and is 25...
Even though neither man has made it to the Victory Lane this season, consistency has been the key for both Kenseth and Newman. As reported by Bleacher Report, Newman has had the best year of his NASCAR career and is in the No. 2 spot in the Chase going into the race at Texas Motor Speedway.
This is the second year in a row in the Chase for Kenseth, who is currently in fourth place in the Chase standings. In 2013, he made it to the winner’s circle seven times and placed second in the Sprint Cup Championship, 19 points behind Jimmy Johnson. Even though he hasn’t won yet in 2014, his consistency on the track...
As the Inquisitr reported in August, Gordon is looking to win his 5th Sprint Cup championship and leads the Chase going into Sunday’s race. Even though “win and you’re in” is the Chase motto, being consistent seems to be working just as well.
Ask Mom what she wants for Mother's Day and the odds are she doesn't want much. Other than maid and chauffeur service.
If that's not possible, the Echo Park Craft Fair may offer some equally soothing gift-giving options.
The biannual event, scheduled for May 13 and 14, has grown from an informal backyard gathering in Echo Park to a two-day community event at Mack Sennett Studios in Silver Lake.
You'll find independent works by mostly local designers, including ceramics by Mt. Washington Pottery, Pax, Edible Gardens, Amy Dov and B Zippy, textiles by Blockshop and Heather Taylor Home and clothing by founders Rachel Craven and Beatrice Valenzuela.
New designers Churchill Ceramics, Four Leaf Wood Shop, Orris Perfumery and Sophie Monet and others will be on hand along with food service from Moon Juice, Canyon Coffee, Alejandra Blue Corn Quesadillas, Gorumando, Morning Glory Confections and Todo Verde.
Also new this year is Atwater Village-based Happier Camper, an ultra-light, retro-modern, fiberglass camper that starts at $18,950. Fairgoers will be invited inside the mini trailer to play with the modular components, or eat outside.
And if you can't afford a $400 tote bag for Mom, don't worry. She will be happy just to be invited to tag along.
