Pioneer of Eco-Socialism
By Daniel Tanura
[This commemorative article published on December 11, 2012 is translated from the German on the Internet, http://www.sozonline.de/2012/12/barry-commoner-19172012/.]
On September 30, 2012 Barry Commoner died at the age of 95. By calling a biologist and professor, he was interested in the global functioning of ecosystems.
At Washington University where Commoner taught, he founded the "Center for the Biology of Natural Systems." Previously he became known at the end of the 1950s through his rejection of nuclear power, particularly surface or above-ground nuclear weapon testing. In 1971 Commoner published "The closing circle" (German translation Wachstumwahn und Umweltkrise 1973). In this bestseller, he showed that everything in nature comes from something and enters into something else. This implies a thinking in cycles that bids farewell to the utilitarian vision where the environment on one side is a reservoir of resources and on the other side a dump for wastes.
The work was strongly marked by his polemic against the couple Paul and Anne Ehrlich, the authors of the "Population Bomb" (1971 that was also a bestseller. As Malthus disciples, the Ehrlichs claimed environmental destruction was mainly due to demographic growth. Commoner countered that argument with a profound analysis of environmental pollution in the US and concluded that the technological factor (the mistakes made in choosing applied technologies) was five times more responsible for destruction of the environment than the demographic factor.
"The closing circle" also demonstrated that Commoner had a solid Marxist education. He actually read "Capital" more attentively than many authors who pretend to have mastered Marx' thinking.
- He emphasized the antagonism between capitalist accumulation and the finiteness of nature. "Concluding that the system of free enterprise is forced to develop unbridled while its ecological base cannot endure unlimited exploitation, we recognize the one is absolutely incompatible with the other."
- He deduced the systemic character of the capitalist crisis. "In this sense, the appearance of a crisis in the eco-system should be understood as a first sign of an imminent crisis in the economic system."
- He made a distinction between the writings of Marx and the Soviet reality and denied that socialism by its nature is productivist. "A socialist regime could bring more advantages than a regime of free enterprise because it can produce the essential harmony between the economic process and the demands of ecology. The economic theory of socialism does not seem to demand an unlimited growth."
- Finally Commoner paid tribute to the author of "Capital" on account of his concept of the "rational execution of the material exchange between humanity and nature" and because he understood that the capitalist agrarian economy and industry wear out the two exclusive sources of wealth: the earth and workers. He pleaded for a "thorough modification" of the economic system in general and socialism in particular.
The second bestseller from Barry Commoner appeared in 1976: "The poverty of power" (German translation Energieeinsatz und Wirtschaftskrise 1977). This work is as remarkable as the earlier work. Commoner discussed the inseparable connection between the environmental crisis, the energy crisis and the economic crisis. If he pleaded for a comprehensive understanding of the environment and its cycles in "The closing circle," he urged a holistic approach to the energy system in "The poverty of power," in applying the second law of thermodynamics to the whole energy system, not only to energy plants. This approach inspired many other authors.
"The poverty of power" grapples with the monopolies of the oil- and petrochemical industry. Commoner championed an (eco) socialist solution more clearly here than in "The closing circle." "Several years ago the idea of nationalization provoked embarrassed reactions. Today the necessity presses to be considered - with circumspection - as a possible solution of the problems of the railroad companies and even of the energy system."
His conclusion at that time has only gained relevance to the present. "A blind and senseless concatenation of events has changed the industrial and agricultural technology, altered transportation and raised the output of the productive system and the price of the increased need for capital, energy and other resources. These events have destroyed jobs and damaged the environment. They have concentrated the physical power of energy and the social force of wealth that comes from a small number of enormous firms and nurtured this force and power with unemployment and poverty. Here we have the basic problem that produces the environmental- and energy crisis and threatens to bury us under the debris of a tottering economic system."
Reading and re-reading Barry Commoner is very worthwhile. That would be the greatest honor that we could show this engaged and conscientious scholar, this free and courageous spirit and forerunner of eco-socialism.

Position your wireless backup camera and transmitter (sold separately) farther apart for use with a long vehicle with this 25' long extension cord. It can help get your transmitter out of the elements and provide a clearer image on the display.
When mounting your Peak Performance backup camera to the back of a truck, trailer, or RV, you might need extra wiring length between the camera and the wireless transmitter so that you can mount the transmitter in the best location for your setup. Moving the transmitter closer to the monitor will give you a clearer picture. And the extra wiring length might mean the difference between mounting the transmitter in your truck bed - where it's exposed to the elements - or mounting it in your cab. To increase the distance between the camera and the transmitter, add this 25' long extension cord. You can combine up to 3 extension cords for 75' of extra length.

I ended up ordering 3 of these ext. cords, the 1st one I tried to splice and it grounded out. The 10 ft. cord on the camera with the 25 ft extention still came in about 3 ft. short, so, I used some cobble ingenuity by running the end through a piece of pvc pipe and with gorilla tape and zip ties secured in onto the tongue frame. From the transmitter in the bed of the pickup I ran it thru some cord tamer and out thru a gutted 4-prong plug receiver. Now, when I hookup, I just pull enough cord from the pickup, snap the connectors together, and pull them both into the pvc. Works excellent and keeps the connectors dry. Not too shabby for a 66yr old female grandmother. Thank you for your prompt service and availability of the product. 81137
by: chuck01/22/2013
this worked perfect to make the camera cable longer ot get the transmitter box out of the elements "weather" as that box IS NOT WATER PROOF. it would be nice if the connecters were water proof on the cable but not that bad to water proof. the cable worked great to make the camera cable longer to work on a 04 chevy pickup. local stores dont carry this and they should, they evon said they cant get it either. so this was the only place i found it. thanks for making this item for sale. 63793
by: tim c.05/14/2011
The customer service was great! Talked to a real person who answered all my questions. The cable worked out perfectly. Needed to move my transmitter closer to the reciever because I use the camera on the back of my trailer which put the transmitter too far away and got terrible reception. Split the cable and used a 4-way trailer connector to bridge the gap between truck and trailer and put transmitter inside the truck. System now works perfectly. I use the camera like a rear view mirror.14018

by: john s01/07/2014
The cable was exactly as I needed and ordered. Works great and allows the installation of the camera transmitter to be inside the vehicle instead of outside behind the tail light. Perfect for pickup truck applications. The camera clarity is amazing using this.112038
by: R. H/\.King12/19/2013
Thank You, I received the Cable ahead of delivery date and it was what it claimed to be.My experience with ETrailer was very pleasant, Rose G. was very helpful, It would be nice if Peak would make a variety of different size cable for other Vehicles, as 25 feet was way to long for My application, but it works fine, again thanks much 110498
by: Al G11/18/2013
I enjoyed the service I received from etrailer.com. I received an email when the order was placed and when it was shipped. The order was received on time and was in excellent condition. I have no problems with ordering from etrailer and would do it again. Thanks for the great service.107749
by: Don B.11/16/2013
Product as described and shipping was in time frame stated. I installed a peak back up camera system on the back of my 5th wheel camper to help in backing and changing lanes. I knew it would be pushing the distance between transmitter and LCD display in my truck . Sure enough the video would come and go. I ordered this cable to allow me to get the transmitter closer to the wireless LCD video screen in truck. Video when stopped is great ! Have not road tested it .107536
by: Ray L11/11/2013
With two Bluetooth phones in the truck, we had to bring the backup camera transmitter into the cab in order to get a good signal to the camera display. We needed two of these cords to run from the back of our 30 foot trailer to the cab of the pickup truck. Excellent product. Could not have done the project without these cords.107029
by: John M10/04/2013
I needed the cord to connect a Peak camera on a 8' foot box pickup. The cord that comes with the camera is not long enough to reach the inside of the cab to mount the wireless xmitter and I did not want to mount outside of the cab. The extension cord was a seamless way to extend the camera to the xmitter. It was longer than needed but I coiled the cable under the carpet in the cab and works great. Wish Peak made various lenghts of the cable. I found this cable on etrailer.com by doing a Google search and the service was great with fast shipping. 102589
by: Arnold K.09/23/2013
Very pleased with this item. It was delivered very quickly, and worked just like it was supposed to. This is an extension for the camera cord, I think you should also make an extension for the Peak Backup Camera power cord. 101111
by: Randy09/23/2013
I Put The Camera inside the back window of my 5th wheel, and used the extention cord to run to the front where the transmiter sits. Then I pluged into a power outlet there. Now I have a good signal for the monitor. When I park and get set up I pick up the wire and put away or use it to monitor out the side by the door for security. You could use this at Home for lots of things101056
by: Jim L09/09/2013
I have had the peak backup camera on my pickup for years and use it to hook up to my trailers. Backup once and drop the trailer on the ball. Without this extender cable the transmitter is in the weather no matter where you try to put it and you'll find the signal to the display at times is to weak for a clear picture. This cable allows the transmitter to be closer to the display and out of the weather. Word to the wise, when you connect to this cable to the camera cable, use shrink wrap to make the connection weather proof. Thank you etrailer for all the great products and service! 98948
by: Dave A08/19/2013
New extension cord arrived in original packing, looks good. Pricing was right, took a little longer to get than I would have preferred. This is a replacement for one I used on my 5th wheel and somehow one end got pulled off. The camera is mounted on the rear with the transmitter mounted above the 5th wheel pin. Works great!.95749
by: Edward M.06/19/2013
Excellent product just what I needed to complete my installation of my backup camera. As I intend to use the camera on several different vehicles I had to modify the power cord as well as the camera cord ( make it longer ) to do so. I will be using it on my 30 foot travel trailer as well as my chevy colorado.85259
by: Nicholas01/17/2013
I ordered this product and it arrived in good condition, well wrapped and arrived within 2-3 days as promised. I have not installed it as of yet because of the cold weather. I'm certain this product will allow for a closer receiver installation and subsequently a finer picture on the camera. I will do business with you folks again in the future. Thanks Nick 63393
by: PKCORB05/03/2012
It was fairly easy to install on my P/U , but if the monitor was bigger, I would be more pleased with it. I had to add the 25ft cord to the camera cord when I only needed maybe 6 more ft. to reach inside the cab. Shorter camera cord , like maybe a 10ft would have been better. I had to add 8ft to the power cord.The monitor is a 3.539313
by: Terry Maloney02/23/2012
This product (of which I purchased two) are OEM extension cords for the PKCORC backup camera system which I purchased at Sam's Club two years ago. The cables work flawlessly, and will allow me to use the camera system on my new 33-foot travel trailer as well as on the slide-in truck camper the system was bought for (which, by the way, also worked perfectly.) I have shrink-tube sealed the couplers, and will overwrap those with quality electrical tape, as the instructions call for 'weatherproofing' the connections. I ordered these cords at 11p.m. on Sunday night, and received them on Thursday via USPS, at the least-expensive shipping method ($4.99, I believe). Other than instantaneous transmission, the shipping time was quite satisfactory! The cords were well-packaged, as well. In short, I am very happy with my purchase experience, intend to conduct further business with etrailer and recommend the business! Thank you for offering what I needed and providing excellent service! Sincerely, Terry Maloney32338

Bought the camera after getting misinformation from the local car parts store. Needed an extension wire or take it back to the store. Thought maybe I could make my own. But took a chance on a web search and etrailer had it, exactly what I needed. As soon as I placed my order they immediately started notifying me of what was going on with it. The shipping dept had my order within an hour or so. I received it fast. I paid for the cheapest shipping and it arrived here in only 4 days. Thanks for having it; thanks for the communication; and thanks for using my employer (USPS) for shipping it.16338

I purchased 3 backup cameras for my 3 different pickups. Even though I could have mounted the transmitter anywhere out of the weather, I preferred to mount it in the cabs. For two trucks, the provided cord connecting the camera to the transmitter was too short to reach so I needed two extensions. I immediately found these at E-trailer and at a reasonable price. I was very pleased with the ordering process, delivery timing, packaging, and quality of the PKCORD extensions cords. Thanks E-trailer and rest assured, you have gained a loyal customer.13220

Posted By Rich Miller On September 19, 2006 @ 9:31 am In New York | Comments Disabled
Publishing giant McGraw-Hill will invest $100 million to build a brand new 180,000 square foot data center in East Windsor, N.J., the company said yesterday. McGraw-Hill has filed plans with the local planning board, and is planning to complete the new facility by 2008. The new data center will expand McGraw-Hill's multi-building campus on Route 571 in East Windsor.
McGraw-Hill spokesman Steven Weiss said the move reflects the publishing industry's shift from paper to digital products, eliminating printing, shipping and warehousing costs. "That allows us to be more efficient," Weiss told the Times of Trenton. "We are not bound by the ability to ship a book somewhere if someone can buy and access our product online … all you need is a computer and a modem."
I would love to include a link to the story online. But alas, I can't. The only reason I saw it at all is because I get home delivery of the Trenton Times, which is our local paper, and was also my employer for seven years (1993-2000). I almost missed it, as it was buried on page 6. I tried to find the story on the NJ.com web site, which is owned by the Times' parent company and publishes the paper's stories on the Web. It's not there.
It's kind of amazing that a major employer announces an investment of $100 million in a community and the local paper buries the story and doesn't publish it on its web site.

Where are we?
In the Artic Watershed on the Albany River System. Drive on paved highway to Nakina, Ontario. At Cordingly Lake (3 miles north of Nakina), fly 43 miles northwest to Meta Lake Lodge.
An Unforgettable Canadian Adventure
Welcome! to Meta Lake Lodge a Canadian wilderness fly-in fishing and hunting resort.
In sharp contrast to the rocky, clear-water lakes typical of the Nakina region, Meta Lake is a relatively shallow, slightly stained, soft-bottomed and weedy lake. Because of its shallow nature, bottom content and darker water, Meta Lake ices out and warms more quickly than nearby and adjoining lakes. In the spring, walleyes from the entire system migrate "en masse" to Meta's warmer waters to feed and spawn, creating an incredible late spring / early summer fishery.
As elsewhere, the best walleye fishing comes at current flows downstream from spawning courses. From opening day, the north end of Meta Lake and the channel to Brace Lake offer exceptional walleye fishing. Live bait rigs and jigs tipped with minnows are absolutely the bait of choice. As the season progresses, walleyes disperse to points, shoals and the mid-lake island cluster. As summer develops and the water warms, walleyes also move into the lake's weedy sections and hold along weed lines where live-bait spinner rigs or jig 'n' bait combos presented along the weed line / bottom work best.
Windy weather at Meta Lake really turns the Walleye bite on!
Around the mid-lake island cluster and, in particular, two rock/shoal outcroppings, we enjoyed exceptional fishing, tossing twistertail jigs to feeding walleyes - as shallow as four feet in the "surf". Losing a few (!) jigs to the rock piles is inevitable, but makes quick limits all worthwhile.
Warm water, a soft bottom and shallow water support abundant weed growth throughout Meta Lake. Expansive weed beds in back bays and defined weed lines in the main lake attract and hold fish throughout the summer, especially the lake's numerous pike. Casting weedless spoons, spinnerbaits, topwater plugs or
flashy spinners will produce lots of Northern Pike, including some trophy fish. The Records show that in addition to the great early-season (late May & June) pike fishing, some of the very best action for trophy Northern Pike was experienced throughout August - with big fish relating to fully developed weed beds and fast-breaking points/rock piles.
Easily accessible from Meta Lake is Ara Lake, an exceptional summer Walleye fishery in its own right. A classic rocky shield lake, Ara Lake is a Walleye mecca for jig fishermen and trollers.
A well maintained camp, Meta Lake Lodge offers guests clean, modern, comfortable, log cabins complete, living room, with fully equipped kitchens, 24 hr generated electricity, electric refrigerator and propane stove. The bathrooms have hot shower, sink and flush toilets. The two large bedrooms are capable of sleeping 6-8 people. A wood stove provides cozy heat for evening field with storytelling, card playing and R&R. Split wood is provided at one of the wood depots located out camp.
The main lodge includes a cozy dining hall that serves up incredible meals (American Plan) complimentary welcome breakfast and Wednesday night fish fry. There is also a supply of tackle for sale along with bagged ice, snacks and souvenirs. A satellite TV for special events, news, and local weather as well as satellite wireless internet and skype phone are available.

At What Age Do You Get the Most Sun Damage
Description:In a prior DermTV episode, Dr. Schultz noted that 80% of your lifetime ultraviolet exposure and damage is done by the age of 18. Recently, a viewer responded to that claim by asking what's the point of sun protection beyond 18 if only marginal damage can occur. In this episode of DermTV, Dr. Schultz delves into his quote and whether or not sun protection is appropriate past 18 years of age. (2:45)

Your hair loss generally can't be prevented or controlled, but it can be managed. Take the following steps throughout your treatment to minimize the frustration and anxiety associated with hair loss.
Before treatment
During treatment
After treatment
Covering your head as your hair falls out is a purely personal decision. For many women hair is associated with femininity and health, so they choose to maintain that look by wearing a wig. Others choose hats and scarves. Still others choose not to cover their heads at all.
Ask your doctor or a hospital social worker about resources in your area to help you find the best head covering for you. Look Good ... Feel Better is a free program that provides hair and beauty makeovers and tips to women with cancer. These classes are offered throughout the United States and in several other countries. Many classes are offered through local chapters of the American Cancer Society. Look Good...Feel Better also offers classes for teens with cancer, as well as a website especially for men.
Radiation therapy also attacks quickly growing cells in your body, but unlike chemotherapy, it affects only the specific area where treatment is concentrated. If you have radiation to your head, you'll likely lose the hair on your head.
Your hair usually begins growing back after your treatments end. But whether it grows back to its original thickness and fullness depends on your treatment. Different types of radiation and different doses will have different effects on your hair. Higher doses of radiation can cause permanent hair loss. Talk to your doctor about what dose you'll be receiving so that you'll know what to expect.
Radiation therapy also affects your skin. The treatment area is likely to be red and may look sunburned or tanned. If your radiation treatment is to your head, it's a good idea to cover your head with a protective hat or scarf because your skin will be sensitive to cold and sunlight. Wigs and other hairpieces might irritate your scalp.

Well, well, well… things have certainly gotten interesting around here, haven't they? Don't look now, but after their awesome early-August stretch of scoring about 9 runs in 3 weeks, the Dodgers have actually turned it around to win 7 out of their last 10, and are coming off a sweep of Washington. Amazingly, after we'd all but left them for dead, the Blue are only 4 games out of 1st place and 3 behind the Wild Card-leading Padres.
So this is, as they say, "a really big series". Let's take a look at what we've got ahead of us as we travel down the coast to the Whale's Vagina:
Friday: David Wells (6-8) vs. Jack Cassel (3 MLB IP)
I think David Wells would love to live on Whore Island.
Saturday: Derek Lowe (11-11) vs. Jake Peavy (15-5)
60% of the time, I hate facing Jake Peavy every time.
Sunday: Chad Billingsley (9-4) vs. Justin Germano (7-7)
That's got to be 2 out of 3 in favor of the Blue, right? So far, the season series is split 50/50 – but after winning 4 of their first 6 against the Padres, the Dodgers have lost 4 of the last 6.
I hate to say this is a 'make or break' series.. but we're going to find out a whole lot about how badly this team wants to make the playoffs this weekend.
- Go F**k yourselves, San Diego. I'm Mike Scioscia's tragic illness.

Maddy's Musings: Memoirs of a Teenage Brain
A brain does quite a lot of work, doesn't it? It controls your balance, thought processes, heart rate, breathing, heat levels, voluntary and involuntary actions of your body and so on. Now add a little twist and complication to this and you have a perfect teenage brain.
Rather than doing its daily duty of thinking mentioned above, the teenage brain is every so often often thrown into disarray. Let's see why. Firstly, we're teenagers- we have nothing figured out, yet everything clearly put out for execution. It confuses the brain because one half of you is in complete oblivion as to what you're doing whilst the other is ready as ever for whatever it is you have (un)planned.
A simple example: you're trying to call someone you're afraid to talk to- say a lost lover you wish to reclaim- there will be that moment when you're charged up, with well- practised lines in your head and know exactly what you're going to say. Yet, when the phone begins to ring or that someone actually picks up, your tongue ties itself up into knots and you're left stuttering like a damaged tape. Hasn't that happened to you? We as teenagers go through this two sided effect all the time.
Secondly, we're programmed to be rebellious. It's not intentional, we don't particularly plan to go awry, it's just that we're always attracted to things we're not supposed to be for the simple reason that we're denied and the curiosity kicks in. Sometimes, such rebellion lands you in heaps of trouble; some sort of tangled mess that you later might regret. More often than not, though, it gives you that momentary thrill and adrenaline rush because you just experienced something you were not supposed to (it does not matter whether you liked it or not!).
[pullquote_right]there's a spider called paranoia or insecurity or uncertainty (depending on what you spun your web around) stealthily closing in on you
[/pullquote_right]When we're allowed to do something, try something or go to places, we don't heed much to it because there's not much thrill, and you know what to expect. On the contrary, when something is denied to us, we don't know what to expect and twisted as our brains are, we seek out to discover that enigma. Please note that this is not advice for anyone to be rebellious – it's not always a good thing – but I'm merely stating how most teenage brains actually think.
Thirdly, our brains do abnormal loads of thinking- have you ever caught yourself asking one question but soon find that you've spun a gigantic web of sub questions and then it feels like you're stuck in between and there's a spider called paranoia or insecurity or uncertainty (depending on what you spun your web around) stealthily closing in on you?
Teenage brains in particular are often quite famous for doing such things. See, our brain and our mind is like an infinite expanse of land upon which we create our own worlds comprised of our dreams, ambitions, fears, sorrows, emotions, and relationships, past, present and so on and so forth. It is quite exhausting to have a million thoughts run through your head and expect your brain to process them all at once as well as leave you in peace.
The most important thing that influences our behaviour, thought flow and processes alike are the relationships we maintain (or not). We are forever seeking acceptance and appreciation from the ones we really love and care about. We seek out to be perfect in some way or another- each one expresses it differently and the outside world perceives it differently and it's a constant, everyday battle for us to love and be loved, to succeed, to know, to learn, to grow, to live up to expectations and understand how to really be an adult.
I think we're all just children trapped within the depths of ourselves, clouded by age and exposure to the world and we struggle to emerge as a unique individual- often forgetting that we are born unique. Such is the twisted, complicated mind of a regular teenager. If you beg to differ, please feel free to do so but if you've been through any of the above or agree with me (even to a miniscule extent), join the club.

September 13th - Friday the 13th did not prove to be an unlucky one as we stayed at the Spitzkoppe rock formations a few hours drive from Cheetah Park. These huge granite boulders are a rock climbers' paradise, with handholds and a very grippy surface. This allowed us to climb higher than we probably should of after a few beers but the view was definitely worth ...

CORPUS CHRISTI — In the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings, I couldn't help but be inspired by the tenacity of that city's residents, who made it clear during a recent news conference that they would prevail despite this tragedy.
With most events — good and bad — that happen in the natural, I can usually see a parallel in the spiritual, and what occurred in Boston is no exception.
That something so awful could happen at of all things, a marathon, was a reaffirmation to me that not only do we as a nation need to continue to be on guard against attack, but that we as Christians cannot become complacent when it comes to being vigilant against the spiritual attacks of the enemy.
I found it interesting that whoever planted these bombs chose to place them near the finish line of a big race. It reminded me of how our spiritual enemy, Satan, will lie in wait ready to trip us with an unexpected blast of confusion just when we're about to come to the end of a trial.
I can think of countless times in my life when I've been going through something and just when it seemed that I was almost to the finish, a sudden "bomb" or series of bombs would knock me off my feet and try to jolt me off course.
That bomb could be a death in the family, a financial setback, a job loss, even — at times like this when a senseless tragedy occurs — a questioning of God or your faith. Life's bombs come in all different shapes and sizes, usually cannot be seen, and almost always hit when we least expect them.
Hebrews 12:1 tells us that as believers in Christ who have been set on a spiritual course, we must keep our eyes focused on our finish line, which is Jesus, "the author and finisher our faith."
Investigators have not yet determined whether this act of terrorism in Boston is foreign or domestic. In the spiritual realm, sometimes you get hit with a bomb from an outside source, and sometimes, the most painful and devastating bombs are detonated by people close to you.
Whatever the source, when the enemy drops a bomb, do not be discouraged. If you stay the course, God will take whatever was meant for evil and use it for good. Already emerging out of this death and destruction in Boston are inspirational stories of heroism, love and even a coming together to seek God.
Just as we have with every tragedy that has befallen us, our country prevails. Even though we've been wounded, we pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and keep going, using what others meant to weaken us to make us stronger.
The same attitude works when it comes to spiritual matters. You may still be reeling from the effects of a bomb that has gone off in your own life. You may even be wounded, but God is able to heal. The bombs in life will try to throw you off course in an effort to get you to take your eyes off the Lord, but don't lose your focus.
If you keep your eyes trained on God, he will give you your second wind.

It's not easy forking out near on £600 without really knowing what you're getting. I recently took the plunge on the "Photojournalism & Street Photography" course and am eternally grateful I did! Class size: 7 Teachers: Alex Mita & Luciana Franzolin As it so happens, Alex & Luciana are married. That said, it's not usual for the class to be split across 2 tutors. Unfortunately Alex had a business trip so Luciana did the latter part of the week. In hindsight it was an absolute bonus experiencing them both. They have very different characters & teaching styles.

A while ago I decided I needed a new hobby and after some consideration plumped for photography. I enthusiastically bought a D-SLR and set about reading books to try and bridge the gap between using a 'point and shoot' (='normal') camera, which requires you only to press a single button to take a photo, and a D-SLR (="proper") camera which requires you to decide on the ISO, shutter speed and aperture before you press the button (unless of course you use your D-SLR in full auto mode. Which quite frankly for me defeats the object of owning a D-SLR.) After a while, and a variety of both successes and failures in terms of my end photos, I decided I'd ... Read the complete review

The park was originally established to protect its large mammals, not because of majestic Mount McKinley. Charles Sheldon conceived the plan to conserve the region as a national park. Naturalist, hunter, and conservationist, Sheldon first traveled here in 1906 and again in 1907 with a packer and guide named Harry Karstens. (Karstens later made the first ascent of Mt. McKinley's south peak and would serve as the park's first superintendent.) Sheldon devoted much of his 1907 travels to studying boundaries for the proposed national park that would include territories suitable for a game refuge. When Sheldon returned to the East in 1908, the Game Committee of the Boone and Crockett Club, of which he was chairman, launched the campaign to establish a national park. Largely due to these efforts, Mount McKinley National Park was established in 1917. Its population of Dall sheep and other wildlife were now legislatively protected. However, Mount McKinley itself was not wholly included within the boundaries.
Sheldon wanted to call the park Denali, but his suggestion would not be followed until 1980. The changes in names and boundaries that have occurred over the years can be confusing, as they indicate the way various parts of the park and preserve may be used today. In 1917 Mount McKinley National Park was established as a wildlife refuge. The park and massif including North America's highest peak were named for a former senator - later President - William McKinley. In 1980, the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) enlarged the boundary by 4 million acres and redesigned it as Denali National Park and Preserve. At 6 million acres or 7,370 square miles, the park is larger than Massachusetts. It exemplifies interior Alaska's character as one of the world's last great frontiers for wilderness adventure. It remains largely wild and unspoiled, as the Athabascans knew it. On 02 December 1980, President Jimmy Carter signed the bill establishing Denali National Park.
Denali National Park and Preserve is 6 million acres large. It is larger than the State of Massachusetts. It exemplifies interior Alaska's character as one of the world's last great frontiers for wilderness adventure.
Denali National Park and Preserve is managed as three distinct units, Denali Wilderness, Denali National Park additions, and Denali National Preserve.
Denali, the "High One," is the name Athabascan native people gave the massive peak (Mount McKinley) that crowns the 600 mile long Alaska range. Many generations of native Athabascans wandered over this region before Caucasians began to discover and explore it. Nomadic bands hunted lowland hills of Denali's northern reaches spring through fall for caribou, sheep and moose. They preserved berries for winter, netted fish, and gathered edible plants. As snow began to fall, they migrated to lower elevations, closer to the river valleys' better protection from winter's severe weather. Much of the Alaska Range formed a mighty barrier between interior Athabascans and Cook Inlet Athabascans to the south.
Denali Wilderness, the former Mount McKinley Park, is managed to maintain the undeveloped wilderness parkland character. Backcountry use is regulated and most usual national park regulations apply here. Denali Wilderness is closed to sport and subsistence hunting and trapping activities.
Denali National Park additions, established by the ANILCA in 1980 (excluding Denali Wilderness), allow customary and traditional subsistence uses by local rural residents. This recognizes the longstanding dependence on wildlife, fish, and plant materials for subsistence in rural Alaska.
Denali National Preserve allows subsistence uses and also allows sport hunting, trapping, and fishing under Alaska Fish and Game regulations. There are 2 such preserve areas.
Paradoxically this expansive landscape, habitat of large caribou, moose, and grizzly bears, lies adorned with miniaturized plants. Their diminutive size contrasts with their large importance as food to the animals that live or migrate through here. These plants have long been adapted to survive northern life, but there is newness in the landscape too. The rivers are so young and so laden with pulverized rock, called rock flour, that they can wander across their broad, flat valleys to set new channels in a matter of days. The delicate beauty of the tundra points to the lofty, isolated, and often cloud-covered grandeur of the Mount McKinley massif.
The Land
More then 650 species of flowering plants as well as many species of mosses, lichens, fungi, algae, and others grace the slops and valleys of Denali. Only plants adapted to long, bitterly cold winters can survive in this sub arctic wilderness. Deep beds of intermittent permafrost - ground frozen for thousands of years - underlie portions of the park and preserve. Only the thinnest layer of the topsoil thaws each summer to support life.
After the continental glaciers retreated 10,000 to 14,000 years ago, hundreds of years were required to begin building new soils and to begin the slow process of re-vegetation. Denali's lowlands and slopes consist of two major plant associations, taiga and tundra.
Taiga, a Russian word for northern evergreen forest, describes the scant tree growth here near the Arctic Circle. Much of the park and preserve's taiga lies in valleys along the rivers. White and black spruce, the most common trees, are interspersed with quaking aspen, paper birch, larch, and baslam poplar. Strands of deciduous trees occur along streamside gravel bars or where soils have been disturbed by fire or other action. Woods are frequently carpeted with mosses and lichens. Many open areas are filled with shrubs such as dwarf birch, blueberry, and a variety of willow species. The limit of tree growth occurs at about 2,700 feet in the park and preserve. For comparison, the elevation at the park hotel is 1,750 feet. Above the tree limit, taiga gives way to tundra.
Tundra is a fascinating world of dwarfed shrubs and miniaturized wildflowers adapted to a short growing season. There are also two types, moist tundra and dry tundra, with myriad gradations in between.
Moist tundra varies in composition: some areas contain tussocks of sedges and cottongrass; others contain dwarfed shrubs, particularly willows and alders. Plants of the dry tundra occur above shrubline. There, meadows abound. Higher up the mountain slopes close to 7,000 feet, complete plant cover yields to scattered patches amidst barren rock. These tiny highland plants grow closely matted to the ground, creating their own livable microclimate. Mountain avens, dwarf fireweed, moss campion, dwarf rhododendron, and forget-me-not (Alaska's state flower) dot the rocky landscape offering stunning summer displays of delicate blossoms. Although small in stature they loom large in importance because their nutrients provide food that sustains even the largest species of park wildlife.
Wildlife of Taiga and Tundra
Spring, summer, and fall provide a compressed respite from the sub-arctic's long season of deep cold. For most animals, it is a busy time during which they must garner most of their annual food supplies. Dall sheep, relatives of the bighorn sheep, graze the alpine tundra for the young shoots of mountain avens. Ewes and rams live apart in summer, while the lambs are getting their start. In early summer sheep are at lower elevations, but they will follow the snowmelt higher and higher as summer progresses.
Caribou, like the Dall sheep, travel in groups. Both sexes sport antlers, the only deer family members to do so. Caribou migrate great distances from their calving grounds south of the Alaska Range and northwest of Mount McKinley to their winter range in the northern reaches of the park and preserve. The Denali Herd has fluctuated greatly in number over the last 30 years. Today groups of 20 or more may be seen from the park road, quite different from the thousands seen many years ago.
Moose, the deer family's largest member, are not herd animals. Bulls may group in threes or fours or wander alone until they pursue several cow moose during the rut, or mating season. The calves are born in May and will stay with the cow one or two years. In spring, the cow and calf feed on willows and other new green vegetation. At this time of year, be cautious about traveling in the willow thickets. A cow moose can be very dangerous while protecting her calf from a perceived threat.
Wolves are rarely seen, but they plan an important role in the nature scheme. In winter, wolves generally hunt in packs. Individuals, however, can be sighted as well. Pack organization is strongest during the whelping (pupping) season in spring. The presence of wolves in Denali is an indication of the quality of this wilderness. If you are lucky enough to see a wolf, consider it a rare and privileged experience.
Grizzly bears are omnivores, eating small plants, berries, ground squirrels, moose or caribou calves, and occasional carrion. They are seen throughout the park. Sows generally bear two cubs, sometimes one and rarely three. They too are fiercely protective of their offspring. Wolves and grizzly bears play an important role as predators. Ever ready to take advantage of an opportunity, they cull old, newborn, and sick animals from the caribou, moose and sheep population.
Smaller mammals abound within the limits of this harsh, northern environment: fox, weasel, wolverine, lynx, marten, snowshoe hare, hoary marmot, red squirrel, ground squirrel, pika, porcupine, beaver, shrew, vole and the lemming. There are 37 mammal species recorded in the park and preserve.
Birdlife is varied and interesting. Most birds migrate long distances between their nesting grounds here in the park and their wintering areas. Wheatears winter in Africa; arctic terns in Antarctica and southern South America; jaegers take to life at sea in the southern oceans. On the open tundra, you may easily see ptarmigan, Lapland longspurs, and various shorebirds. Short-eared owls and northern harriers can be seen soaring low in search of rodents. Golden eagles patrol the higher elevations and ridgetops. Raptors - birds of prey - of the spruce forest are the hawk owl and goshawk. In these forests, you may also see the spruce grouse and varied thrush. Plovers, gyrfalcons, mew gulls, and snow buntings are among the 156 species of birds recorded at Denali. Raven, ptarmigan, magpie, and gray jay are some of the species that winter in the park and preserve.
Winter challenges wildlife with frigid temperatures and the cessation of plant growth. Food is scarce. Grizzlies fatten up in the summer and remain in a torpor or deep sleep most of the winter. Ground squirrels and marmots hibernate, their body functions virtually halted. Beavers and red squirrels hole up and subsist on food caches. Weasels, snowshoe hare, and ptarmigan, however, turn white and continue the struggle to survive above ground against extreme conditions.

WASHINGTON -- After the country flirted with an unprecedented default on its obligations this week for the second time in three years, Sen. Barbara Boxer is pushing a proposal to eliminate the debt limit as a bargaining chip.
A bill by Boxer, a California Democrat, would allow the president to request a debt limit increase, and only a veto-proof majority in both houses of Congress could stop it. The measure would allow members of Congress to voice their disapproval and tell their constituents they voted against increasing the debt limit.
Boxers bill hasnt attracted any co-sponsors yet. The White House says the authority to raise the debt limit rests with Congress. But the public is running out of patience. Congress is about as unpopular as its ever been. Business and world leaders worry that the fiscal fights could send the U.S. and global economies into a tailspin.
In an interview, Boxer said her bill is a solution.
It is the obvious way out, she said. America is so bruised by this.
Boxers bill, the USA AAA Credit Restoration Act, is actually based on a Republican idea: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell proposed it as part of the 2011 Budget Control Act. The Kentucky Republican, usually one of President Barack Obamas most outspoken critics, helped broker a compromise this week to end a 16-day government shutdown and raise the debt limit.
But the deal only extends the U.S. Treasurys borrowing authority through early February, and just the possibility that the country could near default again risks U.S. creditworthiness.
If anyone thinks this brinksmanship is helping the nation, just look at the ratings agencies, Boxer said.
Fitch Ratings on Tuesday put the U.S. on rating watch negative, a step toward a credit downgrade. The disarray in Congress dents confidence in the effectiveness of the U.S. government and political institutions, and in the coherence and credibility of economic policy, Fitch wrote.
Standard & Poors took away the countrys coveted Triple-A rating during the last debt-limit crisis.
In 2011, the most conservative Republicans in the House of Representatives, emboldened by midterm election gains, refused to increase the debt limit unless they got major spending cuts. They prevailed, and Congress approved the Budget Control Act at the last minute before a default.
This time, the debt-limit deadline coincided with the government running out of funds to operate, with House Republicans demanding changes to Obamas health care law, his signature achievement. Though they didnt get what they sought, another budget crisis could occur in a few months.
Some in Congress want to use the debt ceiling to extract ideological wishes, Boxer said. The budget process is the way to handle your whole wish list.
G. William Hoagland, a senior vice president at the Bipartisan Policy Center who participated in several budget deals in the 1980s and 1990s as a Republican Senate aide, said hed prefer that Congress repeal the debt-limit law.
But since that isnt likely, he said, Boxers plan could work.
I think that makes good sense, Hoagland said. Its a good way to get it out of the debate.
Boxer said her bill creates a more predictable and expedited process for increasing the debt limit.
I think its fair to all branches, she said. I would hope that it would be embraced.
