I don’t think there is a Data Breaches dot Gov website yet, but maybe there should be.  The FTC website has information, but it still seems to rely on businesses and other organizations taking the initiative to alert their customers about the breaches.
Here are some data breach information websites:

When someone asks for “Oregon Jail Standards” they could be referring to two, or more, separate things, but they are usually referring to one or both of these:
1) The first is in ORS 160.076, which are the jail standards that were first enacted in the early 1970s, and that lay out the statutory minimum requirements that jails must adhere to.
2) Second are the voluntary standards promulgated by the Oregon State Sheriff’s Association (OSSA), and followed by every jail in Oregon.  They are not available on the OSSA website.  They are copyrighted.  OSSA is not a government agency and is not required to comply with public records laws.

What would we do without Nolo Press?!
Their excellent blogs, their legal research guide and law dictionary, their tons of online self-help information, their free podcasts, their free online books (wowsers!), and of course, their self-help books and products on everything from soup to nuts, dog law to LLCs.
Happy Birthday, Nolo, and our best wishes for many more to come!

The current edition of “The Bluebook: Uniform System of Citation,” is the 19th.
The editors come out with a new edition about once every five years, so a new edition will not be coming out any time soon.  But their website offers free updates between editions.
Law schools can subscribe to an electronic version, but the editors expect the print version will continue to be published.

One of my favorite websites/books (and related Edge titles), which I like as much for its content as for its concept, is “What is Your Dangerous Idea?”,
Here is one local “dangerous idea” that was floated recently.  It’s kinda fun, or should be if you discussed it around the dinner table or at an Oregon brew pub:
“Too much government? Or just too many?”: by guest columnist, Oregonian (Oregonlive), John Topogna, April 23, 2011

Edward Tufte might enjoy these amazing resumes, though Tufte and his students would probably also have a field day with them:  CVs from Visual Loop
I’m not sure how lawyers would run with these ideas, although there are some possibilities if you think in terms of citations, TOCs, footnotes, and briefs.  And then again, maybe we should let well enough alone.

This donation is no small contribution to our superseded ORS scanning project and I would be woefully remiss if I didn’t publicly thank the Oregon Supreme Court Justices for donating (lending!) to us their set of the superseded Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS).
We will take good care of it and see that it is returned, with a full set of digitized statutes.  (We also plan to create microfilm sets for archival purposes.)
Heretofore, we had been able to locate only 3 complete sets of these superseded statutes (a summary of the Long Road to Superseded ORS Digitization story is available at the project’s blog post), none of which was accessible except in Salem and Portland and none could be take off-site. (Incomplete sets exist in many libraries and on microfilm.)
