Labels Defined

Copy public list?  There needs to be some correlation with the Article Site Blog labels, but this site will have more Labels to categorize issues that are not for the public.

Clicking on the Label on the sidebar will subset the posts down to the specific category.

Working Issues

• Active - All issues being worked on, items needing discussion, strategy, but not really content destined for a public site (as ActiveArticle).
  Specifically excludes Labels - Ann, Help, Tech, and VerArchive
  Tag new posts with Active, when post content is complete, Active Label will be removed and VerArchive will be added
• ActiveArticle - All web content being worked on, as active, but items needing editing for publication.
• Ann - Announcement to working group

• NewsBlog - News, Letters, Editorials, or Comments for the News Blog
• Hot - Hot / Time sensitive Issue
• Link - Info on URL Links to other sites
• Strategy - How we are going to handle an issue (vs the content)
• Web - General content for the web
• WebNow - High priority web content (from ActiveArticle)
• UnCat - Uncategorized, use if you are uncertain how to categorize, I'll periodically review these labels and find an appropriate Label.

DVA Documents

Both Strieter Lites and DeerDeter provided several documents...

Could write summary posts and embed the documents in the post.

Could also attach the documents to DVA Deterrent Main Site Page (but there isn't much room to summarize, unless we do a summary graph on the page).

DVA Deterrents Effective

DVA Deterents are much less costly, but also more effective.

In a 5 year study of one device you can see a dramatic decrease in DVAs.

Contrast this to the very expensive 5 years of deer culling in Solon, which made only a modest reduction in DVA.

Or maybe just take the raw data from each and build new graphs...

This link is NOW ON the DVA deterrent page. This article deals with the UGA study saying that Streiter Lites DON'T work.

When Scott Peters stood there and claimed the deer habituate to the Strieter Lites and had data to prove that I knew immediately what report he was referring to. It's pure bull. The link above debunks the bunk. I have the official report from John Strieter somewhere.

We need to keep this in our files for when Russo and co.try to prove the lites don't work
