A litigation hold is basically keeping all records pertaining to the case, or until the case is over. Depending on the records at hand, state and federal laws require organizations to maintain records. During litigation hold notice a good checklist to follow, is a good idea. A document retention policy basically establishes a policy that keeps records of documents and files for a certain amount of period, so that a court can examine a business practices over a time period. Courts and juries don’t have little tolerance for organizations that don’t maintain their records. They often give penalized corporations for keeping their records, by handing out big fines. A document retention policy is established after a litigation hold is given to an organization. Depending on the litigation hold certain documents must be maintain in order to prevent penalties. So if the litigation hold is pertaining to a HIPPA violation at a college, the college must maintain all records to include, emails, documents, faculty involvements, telephone conversations, backup tapes, hard drives, flash drives and etc. The policy has to be clear and understanding to faculty. The files must be in preserved in original format, and cannot be altered at any time. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was passed through the senate...

...ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE Artificial intelligence is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science that aims to create it. AI textbooks define the field as "the study and design of intelligent agents where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1956 defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines. The field was founded on the claim that a central property of humans, intelligence—the sapience of Homo sapiens—can be so precisely described that it can be simulated by a machine. This raises philosophical issues about the nature of the mind and the ethics of creating artificial beings, issues which have been addressed by myth, fiction and philosophy since antiquity.Artificial intelligence has been the subject of optimism, but has also suffered setbacks and, today, has become an essential part of the technology industry, providing the heavy lifting for many of the most difficult problems in computer science. AI research is highly technical and specialized, and deeply divided into subfields that often fail to communicate with each other.]Subfields have grown up around particular institutions, the work of individual researchers, the solution of specific problems, longstanding differences of opinion about how AI should be done and the application of widely differing tools. The central problems of AI include such traits as reasoning...

...users navigate libraries effectively and find the documents they require. * Use folders only if you need to scope unique permissions on documents or if you need to make a subset of documents easily offline-able by Microsoft Outlook. * If your library has more than 2,000 items, be sure you remove the out-of-the-box default view, which shows all items. Add views with filters so that no view returns more than 2,000 items. Paging and grouping doesn't count. You must use a filter. (BTW, in its sneak peek of SharePoint 2010, Microsoft announced that SharePoint 2010 will have large-list support, so this won't need to be done much longer.) 1. Usability. Nested folder structure is only known to the person who created it. Also, too many sub-folders tend to “hide” things. 2. URL length limitation. SharePoint adds all folder and sub-folder names to URL. Overall URL length is limited to around 260 characters. You are out of luck if you create too many sub-folders. 3. File URL. Moving file from one folder to another means change of file URL. 4. Security. Maintaining Security by folders in SharePoint is an administrative nightmare. Don’t even think about doing it! 5. User experience. User Experience (navigation, finding the documents) just stinks with folders (it is so 1990’s!) 6. File duplication. With folders you can deposit multiple copies of same file into different locations – not a good thing when you try to organize documents and data in the first place! 7. 1 Lonely View....

There are legal requirements that employees are required to meet in terms of the length of time that specific documents are to be retained, so thought needs to be given to storage space and all files must be easily retrieved and accessed when required. The business must implement and maintain a good document discipline, i.e. no paper should be left laying around for unauthorised access, and a clean desk at night policy must be mandatory. However, there are some benefits to collecting and retaining paper files. Paper files are not susceptible to computer viruses, they are user friendly, and there are benefits to their portability.

At the end of the story you don't know if the man really saw an unicorn or made it up so his wife would call the police. It really doesn't matter if he saw the unicorn or made it upthe point is that he gained what he wanted he got rid of his wife.The story also teaches a lesson, every little bad thing you do to someone can backfire twice ashard. The woman had called the police and the psychiatrist in the most meanest intention because shewanted to get rid of him, she did not love him after all. So what the man did was that he gave her of her own medicine, when the police asked if he saw an unicorn he replied using the same words that she hadused previously when he told her that there...
