Is the AAA working with other professional associations to evaluate, get ahead of publishing trends? Documenting copyright limitations for specific journals is a research problem - helps people evaluate what journals they want to publish in. Giving people power to negotiate copyright agreements.

Assessing frequency of smoking breaks, location, and fellow ...	Characterizing Michael's use of space throughout the work day. ...	Anthropologists are notoriously peripatetic. Hence, many of our friends, colleagues, and spouses have developed creative ideas for figuring out were we are (and what on earth we're doing), so we could go to them for ideas. Navy SEALs rescue mission experts, wildlife biologists, and canine search and rescue (K9SAR) organizations are other case study options. ...	Can we identify, install appropriate technologies for tracking Michael's movements? What about data accessibility, privacy issues? Subcutaneous GPS unit and tracking software.. Pager is an immediate solution, but requires searcher to have phone access. Michael can easily ignore. Nick Ryan used to have a web page which tracked his mobile phone location (he may still have it-- it's been a while since I had the time to track Nick's movements). Michael ALWAYS has a mobile phone and probably often has a GPS device. Between these two it must surely be relatively trivial to keep track of his movements within 10s of metres. Obviously this won't help us track him down within the Marlowe building environs but it could be useful when the workshop disperses to identify Michael's general patterns of movement. ...	Friends, colleagues, family, and any pets who might wonder where Michael's gone. ...
