Gone from Ann Arbor, but not forgotten. I wish Michigan's insane liquor laws didn't prevent us from getting their spirits here. Last I checked the state run liquor wholesaler didn't carry any of their products.

According to the New York Times, CougarLife.com had been paying Google $100,000 a month since October. The Mountain View company has now cancelled the contract, saying that the dating site is 'nonfamily safe.'"

Use a PO Box like I do. It doesn't guarantee total anonymity, but it does offer some privacy.

As the submitter, I'll admit that you may be right. I would also concede that I could have come up with a better title. Yes, if they are in a vault, they probably are "preserved".
I'm trying to find out more details about some of the politics of this myself. The lesson for me here may be that Laura Leff is a very good self promoter.

They do know these people (it's in TFA), as these people have worked with CBS before on restoring other Jack Benny artifacts.
Also, the IJBFC said that they would pay for the service, not that they would actually perform the service. I imagine that the scenario is that they would be paying CBS's technical people to handle the transfer, though I have not confirmed this.
+ - CBS apparently refuses to preserve Jack Benny show->

In the vaults she found 25 shows on film that were unreleased, but in the public domain. The IJBFC offered to pay for the digitization and preservation of these show, and got a letter from the Benny estate supporting this effort. CBS so far has refused to allow this preservation to happen."

I've never bought from Tiger Direct, but they still won't stop sending me their awful catalogs.
I've used Newegg on occasion, but I usually find better deals at www.mwave.com Nothing but praise from a satisfied customer. Even a return was easy, like it should be.

That statement is preposterous and I would love to see some case law that backs that up. Also, how many 'government' schools are there? Do you mean Federal government, state government, or local government?
I won't hold my breath.......
