Rob TorekiOn the News Story Page - Notice the highlighted section of the web article. I set it up for him to be able to highlight the part of the article he wanted to quote. He would then click on a Javascript bookmarklet I developed to export that snippet along with the article provenance data, title etc. to a custom JavaScript data massaging page (the slide that follows)On the PinBoard page slide, it would import everything into the top fields and use some really clever heuristics that were continually tweaked to assign everything in the lower colored boxes. The combination of all of these would generate the tag keywords you see in green (which is nice because they were consistent since the computer did that part of it). Ralph could then tweak anything he wanted or add freeform text, and when he was happy it would post the headline and data to PinBoard. See http://www.pinboard.in/u:dchasThen, on whatever schedule Ralph wanted (I set the default to MWF), he could run a second script I wrote that would go out to PinBoard, find everything new since his last post, and write an email for him with the new Chemical Safety Headlines post that we all used to enjoy. All he had to do was run the script, double check the output and send to the list (and then approve his own list submission, I suppose).Ah, good times.

I asked Ralph about this a while back. He told me this:
“I collect the headlines using Google news alerts and have some routines another member wrote some years ago that makes the process relatively automatic. I spend about 10 minutes/day to curate the pinboard collection. Sending it out to the list is three keystrokes.”
I don’t think he sent me anything more specific. I hope this helps.

Subject: Re: [DCHAS-L] And another Chem Demo incidentDoes anyone have the keywords that Ralph used? We could attempt to recreate it using Google News.

Thanks, Rob. When I saw this I thought that it had been a while since I had seen any demo incidents, then quickly realized that it was because we no longer get Ralph's headline searches. I really appreciated those, too.

I just updated our demo safety page with this latest incident. I also found a couple others while looking for more info. I added one from Malvern, IA from 2023 and another from Hendersonville, TN from 2018: http://www.ilpi.com/safety/demosafety.html I found another two, but they were completely paywalled with no info available.
I suspect we are probably missing contemporary ones between the world of paywalls and because we don’t have Ralph Stuart’s chemical incident headline service keeping watch for them. If anyone finds additional recent incidents to add to that list, let me know.
Best wishes,
