If your own website or Favorites list has the old URL, you might want to update it manually, but the search engines catch up fairly quickly. (We have a lot of research guide and website updating to do ourselves.  Oh boy.)
One’s quixotic search for PURLs (persistent uniform resource locators – see also the Wikipedia article) is foiled again.  It takes research, time, expertise, and money to transition to PURLs and no one has that nowadays so most of us are stuck with link rot.

Even if you plan to hire someone to build your business website, it helps to have a general understanding of how a website is created.  How else will you know what to look for when you review resumes and interview job applicants for your website design project?
You can sign up and pay for training classes yourself, and there are some excellent classes available online and at training centers, but wouldn’t it be nice to get a FREE introductory hands-on tutorial with a friendly public library techno-trainer before being thrown into the mysterious and stressful world of bytes, fields, frames, call-outs, HTML, Flash, domain names, URLs, Java, etc.?
I was looking at my own public library’s list of free computer classes and here are some of the many skills you can learn: spreadsheets, creating a basic website, Windows and Web for beginners, word processing, and an HTML lab.

California appellate court’s Justice Bedsworth lets loose on people who don’t know the value of a dollar.

Hot Coffee, the movie, a documentary film by Oregon attorney, Susan Saladoff:
Excerpt from Hot Coffee webpage: “…Is Justice Being Served?
Seinfeld mocked it. Letterman ranked it in his top ten list. And more than fifteen years later, its infamy continues. Everyone knows the McDonald’s coffee case. It has been routinely cited as an example of how citizens have taken advantage of America’s legal system, but is that a fair rendition of the facts?
