CRLFFirst of all, if you are seeing this newsletter for the first time in a few weeks, it is because your email service was screening out emails with Javascript in them as potential virus threats. Today's newsletter is certified Javascript-free and so, with luck, you should be part of our happy family again.

CRLFFor those of you who have been experiencing Javascript errors over the last few days, those too should be a thing of the past. Yes, once Javascript was a really useful tool for the creation of dynamic newsletters. But virus writers (and compliant email clients) have rendered this tool useless.

CRLFAll readers will notice in the links a new feature, the [Research] link, added to the bottom of each resource listed. The [Research] link allows you to follow-up an interesting item with work in related areas. The tool is not intended to be a keyword based drill-down, but rather, a tool for associative learning: when you find a resource that is interesting to you, you can use the [Research] link to find items that are similar to the listed resource.
