AP: Quattrone guilty on all counts. A federal jury in Manhattan, deliberating on its second day, returned guilty verdicts on all three counts against Quattrone -- obstructing a grand jury, obstructing federal regulators and witness tampering.

Learning Object Repositories, Digital Repositories, and the Reusable Life of Course Content This article gets at some of the differences - and some of the similarities - between 'course management systems', 'content management systems', and 'repositories'.

They should be able to draw on digital assets from any resource, or repository, that strikes them as useful--even if the rationale is serendipity--at the exact moment when the learning activity calls for it. Today they can't do that." The article is a bit choppy but worth a look because of the resource lists, which are (from my perspective) From OLDaily on May 3, 2004 at 4:45 p.m..

Patterns in Unstructured Data The future, say some (well, me and William Gibson, at least), lies in pattern matching. This is a very nice twelve page article that gets into the details of how pattern matching is used to generate search results using latent semantic indexing.
