---- — LAKE PLACID — A team of more than seven forest rangers saved the lives of two lost winter hikers earlier this week.
Working in a coordinated pattern, they searched from both sides of the Northville-Placid trail overnight to successfully locate Kyle Austin, 26, of Long Lake and Stephen Hine, 22, of Philadelphia and bring them out.
"The two hikers left Long Lake at 1 a.m. on Sunday and went to hike the Northville-Placid trail. They were trying to do it in one day," Department of Environmental Conservation spokeswoman Leissa King said.
The trail is 38 miles long. Air temperatures in Long Lake on Sunday morning hovered near 10 degrees.
The DEC dispatch center in Ray Brook was notified Sunday at 10:20 p.m. by Austin's wife, Jessica, that the two men had not come out of the woods.
Rangers were dispatched to various sections of the trail between Long Lake and Lake Placid in an all-out search.
Pairs of rangers went in late Sunday.
The two men were found at 12:35 p.m. Monday between Moose Pond and the Noah Rondeau Hermitage, King said.
They had strayed one mile off the trail.
"When they were found, they had no food or water. They were evacuated via snowmobile and taken by Tupper Lake Rescue Squad to Adirondack Medical Center, where they were treated and released," King said.
Forest Rangers Tom Gliddi, Jim Waters, Scott Van Laer and Rob Praczkajlo were among teams that helped find Austin and Hine.
Austin has hiked in Nepal, according to Climbing for Christ, a Rochester-based Christian mountaineering mission that he has worked with.

(CNN) – Former President Bill Clinton has finally joined Twitter. His name?
@PrezBillyJeff. True story.
Follow @politicalticker Follow @KilloughCNN
He was Twitter ambushed, so to speak. Appearing in an interview with Stephen Colbert, the satirist and comedy show host urged the former president to hop on the Twitter bandwagon.
In fact, to make it easy on him, Colbert took the liberty of creating an account for Clinton.
"Now, (the Twitter name) President Clinton was taken. William Jefferson Clinton was taken. But PrezBillyJeff was available," he said in the interview that aired Monday night on his program on Comedy Central.
Their exchange came during Saturday's annual meeting for college students involved with the Clinton Global Initiative. Colbert interviewed Clinton on stage as a final segment for the conference.
"Would you like to break into the 21st century right now, and send your first tweet?" Colbert asked, sitting ready with a smart phone in hand. The audience erupted in cheers and applause.
A surprised, though slightly amused, Clinton reluctantly agreed to the pitch.
"You'll type it?" Clinton asked.
"I'll type it," Colbert said. "140 characters or less."
Pondering for a second, the former president decided on his first tweet.
"Just spent amazing time with Colbert," Clinton said, sitting back in his chair with his face resting on his hand, seeming somewhat reticent.
Just spent amazing time with Colbert!
Is he sane? He is cool! #cgiu—
Billy Jeff Clinton (@PrezBillyJeff) April 06, 2013
As of Tuesday morning around 8 a.m., the account had more than 32,000 followers. The one person he's following is–surprise, surprise–Stephen Colbert.
"I am President William Jefferson Billy Jeff Rodham Clinton. Stephen Colbert is my BFF," read the biographical description on his Twitter page.
His handle lacks the famous blue check mark sign, denoting the account as officially belonging to its namesake.
Since the airing of Monday night's show, the account has posted three more tweets. Whether or not they came from the 42nd president is unclear, but it's highly doubtful given the nature of the messages.
@PrezBillyJeff: I'm Bill Clinton and I approve this tweet, because I wrote it, because, like I said, I'm Bill Clinton. #notColbertpretendingtobeme
@PrezBillyJeff: Now that I'm no longer president I have been downgraded to Air Force Seven. #notColbertpretendingtobeme
@PrezBillyJeff: Just picked up Ayn Rand. Mind = blown. Get to work, you moochers! #notColbertpretendingtobeme
Updated 11:23 a.m. ET - The three tweets after the initial tweet have since been deleted, leaving only the first message on the Twitter feed.
Lord knows I love President Clinton, he is my 2nd favorite POTUS of all time but...... Is this REALLY news? I checked through the last few pages of stories, searching for at least one story about the oil sludge piling up on the banks of the Detroit River. The oil sludge owned by the Koch Brothers. Imagine my surprise when I saw absolutely nothing.
Walter Cronkite would be so proud........ Wouldn't he?
Bill has been in such a good mood lately. He can hardly contain himself. Because he knows Hillary is running for 2016.
Go Hillary!!!!!
That simply furthers the subversives in the Democratic party, in their effort to take total control of America, and turn it into a socialist dictatorship under the total control of the Democratic Party.
The subversives are absolutely bent on taking over America.
I would have guessed "SuperTwit", but I think Obama has that one already.
"Rick McDaniel
That simply furthers the subversives in the Democratic party, in their effort to take total control of America, and turn it into a socialist dictatorship under the total control of the Democratic Party.
The subversives are absolutely bent on taking over America."
Pure projection. It's the Republicans who are trying to make it harder for people to vote, since they found to their surprise, that the majority of Americans do not support the GOP.
Seriously, they want to raise taxes on the parents of college kids who register to vote in the town they live in 8 months of the year (or more)?
Rick McDaniel –
Wow....I am forever amazed at the ponderings of conservies.....Socialist America....wow.....continually duped by the people they so blindly follow like sheep....keep looking over your shoulder....of course it's what Jesus would do....
Clinton better be careful what he posts on twitter – based on his track record – he could get exposed....
Hillary will be gone ALL the time... where do i sign, and .. run baby run
The koch brother inflicting paiin on the working class, due to irresponsible, but somehow legal.practices is nothing new, but sure would like people to hear about it, i live an hour way, haliburton fraking in our county, evil corporation if ever their was one
It sounds like they were having a good time. This is fun.
Of course Colbert was kissing up to help get his sister elected. This guy has been a shrill for the Democrats from the get go! Young people that think he is cool didn't know about his political aspirations they've been brainwashed by Colbert and his buddies!
He got the Ayn Rand part correct, get to work, LOSERS!
the Twit deserves and account.........
Why not? he's been a twit for years.
Rick McDaniel said: "That simply furthers the subversives in the Democratic party, in their effort to take total control of America, and turn it into a socialist dictatorship under the total control of the Democratic Party."
If you don't have anything to contribute but warmed over Rush Limbaugh hyperbole, why do you even bother to post?
You can do something to combat socialism, you know. Don't ever take a Social Security payment. Don't ever get on Medicare or apply for unemployment benefits. Refuse socialistic military, police, and fire protection. Don't drive on highways funded through socialism. (Just use privatized toll roads only.) In short, don't patronize any government funded facility that benefits all the people, because, brother, that's what socialism is.
Chris Honry: "He got the Ayn Rand part correct, get to work, LOSERS!"
Republicans sent our jobs to China, then they called us lazy for being unemployed. When we applied for unemployment benefits that we'd paid for, they called us moochers. They sent all the wealth they stole from us to the 1%ers, and still half of the country continues to vote for them. Those people are the ones I call LOSERS.
dems are not taking over America...we're taking it back!! :)
"Of course Colbert was kissing up to help get his sister elected. This guy has been a shrill for the Democrats from the get go! Young people that think he is cool didn't know about his political aspirations they've been brainwashed by Colbert and his buddies!"
What is a shrill???????????
I've been brainwashed by Colbert!
Hillary better keep an eye on Slick Dick Willy. Monica is floating around out there.
I love you PrezBillyJeff and Stephen!!

Canon 40D Advertisement
This video speaks for itself.
Pictured above are eight beautiful scenes photographed by an Icelandic photographer, Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir. Her photographs were recently resold — not under her identity, of course — and the company has profited nearly $5000 off her work without her knowledge.
From her Flickr page:
They were all taken , without my permission, by the London based print-selling company Only-Dreemin. This company prides itself on offering its customers only the best quality canvas prints of the finest photos , by top artists.
What they fail to mention is that some of the photos they're selling prints of have been illegally obtained, and are being sold without the artists consent or knowledge.
As photographers in the digital photography realm, we are faced with challenges by people lacking ethics who wish to profiteer off of the work of others. This is not the first time I have noticed this. Another extremely talented photographer, Trey Ratcliff (aka StuckinCustoms), has had his photos resold at a Kodak store.
It is never right to profit off of someone's hard work. We photographers need to take extra care of our work to ensure that they don't end up in the wrong hands. However, when such things happen, there's always recourse.
This story made it to the front page of digg.com, a social news site. After several disgruntled users complained to the company, they wrote back with the following:
Can I start by saying there are 2 sides to every story and I will try to tell you our side.
In August 2006, we were contacted by "Wild Aspects and Panoramics LTD" a company based here in London, they offered to show us some imagery, that they stated would be high resolution and we would have sole reselling rights.We were visited by a salesperson from the company and we liked what we saw
Anyway 2 weeks passed, emails were sent back and forth,basic research was done by us to enable us to resell them and then the paperwork was signed and a considerable amount of money was paid(£3000.00)by us , for us to start selling these images in the form of canvas prints.
6 months later we had a letter from a law firm in Iceland, stating we were using someone's images, we googled the claimants name, lo and behold we found we had been duped!.
As requested we immediately removed the images from the internet and destroyed any copies of the images we had.
We emailed the law firm to state we had dealt with these requests and to apologise to their client.
We took legal advice, they told us say nothing more than we had, not reccomending we contact the claimant and tell her what had happened, by the way we were very keen to do that, but we were told to avoid all contact.
In the meantime we started our own investigation into the above company's contacts and sources but have since found nothing more because the telephone doesn't get answered, mobiles are permanantly off and emails are getting bounced back, it seems we were conned too.
As digital artists and designers, we know the importance of integrity, hence the immediate halt and removal of images from the internet, if we had no morals, surely we would still be selling them to recoup our costs?.
As Rebekka has now decided to make this public, we can set about explaining to her why this has happened and of course, to apologise.
Many thanks O-D
I'm sorry, but "told to avoid all contact?" An apology was definitely in order from the start. My guess is that there are no two sides to the story as they claim but they needed to cover themselves after they got caught.
The Internet age makes it easy to "profit" off of someone's hard work, but it's also easy to bring these issues into the forefront. Besides this blog, there are numerous other blog posts, thousands of page views about Rebekka's photo theft, and this is just the beginning.
In any event, it is never right to steal a photographer's hard work. But it looks like there will be consequences to those who do.
Update: In case you were wondering where Rebekka's photos and flickr post went, Flickr apparently removed it. Thomas Hawk has more.
Just got word that Amazon has acquired dpreview.com. This is huge news. A big congratulations to all involved, especially dpreview.com founder Phil Askey.
From the press release:
Today marks an exciting milestone in the history of dpreview.com, everyone here is very much looking forward to being able to do more with Amazon's help. We're aiming to expand our product coverage and deliver new site features for our readers and our daily community.
I'm not sure how much more expanded dpreview.com could ever get — they've surpassed my expectations years ago.
Again, congratulations!
Sorry for the minimal amount of posts lately. I am somewhat out of commission (illness, out of town, etc.) but didn't want to leave you all hanging for much longer. I'll be back soon!

To older photographers, this idea is not very novel. But they also know of big names, like Getty Images. The Internet and the rise of digital photographers has brought forth a revolution in photography and the need for photos for websites (and blogs, like this one), and newer sites have been created to deal with the supply (photographers) and demand (advertisers, web developers, etc). See that banner ad on Yahoo? The picture used in that ad could be yours.
Three sites have been making waves around the 'net:
Beginner photographers love knowing that they could utilize their photography skills to make some money. With some skills and a high megapixel camera (4MP or more will do, but some sites have different restrictions), you could be well on your way to making a few bucks (or more) every month. And you won't have to do it on sites that have rigorous acceptance procedures either; Shutterstock, for example, has over 1.5 million photos from thousands of photographers — you simply have to read their manual closely to get an understanding of what they're looking for, submit a few photos for consideration, and you will hopefully be well on your way to getting money from your talent.
The process of selling photography in this capacity is known as stock photography. More recently, given the lowered costs of cameras and rise of photographers, stock photography has become a relatively affordable endeavor. If you have some high-quality images that you don't mind giving up, stock photography is a definite consideration for your photographs.
How much time should I dedicate to stock photography?
Unlike another recent article on this subject matter, you don't necessarily have to contribute 4 hours a week to stock photography — unless you are depending on a steady flow of income from the practice of stock photography. For example, I personally have seven photos in one of my accounts, and while I'm not necessarily making a great amount of money, I'm not losing out either. Still, however, if you browse the photos on such sites, you may see that some of them are of a higher quality than photographs you may have taken, so photo editing is something you might want to become more familiar with if this is not your strong suit. Even if it's not for stock photography purposes, this is something you should brush up on to build your own personal photography portfolio, if that's the direction you are headed. With that, depending on how many photographs you want to submit and if you rely on post-processing your images, it can take a few minutes a week to several hours. This also depends on how much money you want to make from this. The more money you are looking for, the more time you're going to end up spending.
What photos are suitable for stock photographs?
Each site has its own set of criteria for suitable stock photographs. You must be the photographer of the submitted photo, and in many cases, due to royalty considerations, you cannot submit photos that include copyrighted material or brand logos. A portrait of a person wearing an Old Navy shirt would be rejected. There are other restrictions as well. iStockPhoto, for example, doesn't need any more pictures of pets. A picture I took of a dog was accepted by ShutterStock and has received a good number of downloads. You could always review what is needed on each site. When I first began, I browsed through my library of pictures and saw a good amount of photos that were of good quality and I submitted those. You don't have to have a diverse portfolio of photographs, but that can help.
What about submitting photographs of people?
This is something that is new to every beginner photographer. Any photograph that has a recognizable human face within the photograph is subject to a model release form. Sites will not accept photographs without a signed model release, which allows for publication of the image, due to legal considerations. Earlier this month, a woman sued Yahoo! for $20 million for using a picture of her without her permission. This is exactly what these stock photography agencies prevent against by requiring signed model releases so that each individual in the photograph consents to the photograph's reproduction or publication.
What is the minimum criteria for my photographs?
This is something that differs per site, but generally you're going to want to meet the minimum megapixel requirement (4MP, but some sites have a minimum of 6 — check each site's submission guidelines for details). You'll want to strip your photo of any EXIF information (you can "Save for Web" in Photoshop to remove these details).
How can I improve my photographs for submission?
It is a good idea to familiarize yourself with a few key photo editing techniques. If you have a great photograph but a flailing arm in the bottom right hand corner of the photograph, you'd want to Crop the image. You don't necessarily have to submit a full-sized image to these sites! If your photograph is not properly aligned and the horizon is off, you might want to Rotate the image. You may also want to become familiar with Brightness and Contrast as well, and for softer images, you may want to Sharpen the image to define the edges more clearly.
How do people find my images once submitted?
An important consideration for photographs is to understand what people might be searching for when they're looking for your image. Therefore, a clear description is helpful. You also want to label the image appropriately with something called tags, which are essentially keywords. Some tags for the image below are: carnival, fair, ferris wheel, colorful, bright, nighttime, celebration, and festivities. You don't have to stop there, but don't spam the keyword fields either.
Is there anything else I should know?
Be forewarned: with rising photographic talent in all corners of the globe, your initial application on these sites may be rejected at first. You might have to submit the application again and again. You might find that your gear is not sufficient. Take the advice provided to you by the stock photography team if your photo is rejected (and don't let this daunt you; persistence pays off!). Just work harder for it next time, and consider submitting your best photographs to get a clearer definition of what's needed and what isn't.
If you are willing to commit some time and invest in new gear on a regular basis, you could very well make this a secondary source of income. In fact, if your photographs are selling like hotcakes, you might want to look into doing more paid-photography shoots like my friend Chris, who focuses his talent on shooting racecars. Listen to what people say about your photos, be objective about your photographs, but above all, have fun.

I remember when I bought a "superior" camera of its time, a compact point and shoot no more than four years ago, and I figured it was the "perfect" camera for night shots. Little did I realize that there is more than meets the eye when it comes to night photography.
Bear in mind that there are a lot of important things to consider when photographing at night. Here are some important tips:
This photo was taken at ISO 800 and was shot in 1/10 seconds.
On the other hand, take careful note of the image below:
This shot above was taken at ISO 100 and the exposure took 6 seconds.
Note the "smoothness" or "blur" of the Thames river below because of the length of the shot.
In the end, practice makes perfect. Night photography is an acquired skill. It takes a lot of patience to achieve desirable results. You will want to experiment (ISO, shutter speed, and even aperture modes might help here) to see the perfect combination for a great photograph. You don't want to use the flash; it doesn't travel far and you will be disappointed in the results. The most important thing to consider is a long exposure time; the correct amount of light that can travel to your camera is essential. Without that, you might as well reserve to photography during the daytime.
Don't get discouraged (and don't be embarrassed at the prospect of walking around with a bulky tripod)! Just remember that while our eyes capture the beauty of a building or landmark at night because we can see the proper amount of light, the camera is just not as sophisticated as we are, and you will need to make the proper adjustments in order to create successful night photos.

The Orange Leader
Thanksgiving togetherness transformed into Black Friday madness as thousands of area residents hit the stores for the best shopping bargains as the holiday season begins.
Black Friday arrived in its usual style with thousands of bargain hunters looking for the best deals at dozens of area stores and malls. It was not only a busy day for customers, but for businesses as well.
"It's been a good day for us, real busy much of the day," said Brian Vincent at Infocus Camera and Imaging in Orange. "We had several people waiting on us when we opened the doors on Friday. Nikon had a big sale that people were really excited about, and Canon has some rebates available. Saturday will be a busy day for us as people start looking for other gifts outside of the Black Friday specials."
Lauryn Freeman, a 17-year-old senior at Vidor High School, braved the shopping frenzy on Thursday evening at Wal-Mart in hopes of helping her sister find a Nook Color, which went on sale at 10 p.m., Thursday, according to the Wal-Mart advertisement.
"We got there by nine o'clock, and the Nook's were already gone," Lauryn said. "We looked everywhere and asked about 10 different employees where they were supposed to be and got 10 different answers. The manager finally told us they were already gone. It was kind of frustrating for us."
While many took their chances in store and waiting in line, others kept to the comfort of their homes and shopped online.
For decades, stores have opened their doors in wee hours of the morning on the day after Thanksgiving known as Black Friday. But this year, that changed when major chains from Target to Toys R Us opened on Thanksgiving itself, turning the traditional busiest shopping day of the year into a two-day affair, according to the Associated Press.
That means that shoppers who wanted to fall into a turkey-induced slumber could still head out to stores early on Black Friday. Others could head straight from the dinner table to stores on Turkey Day. And stores were able to attract both groups by offering door buster sales from $179 40-inch flat-screen TVs to $10 jeans at different times of the day.
The National Retail Federation, an industry trade group, estimates that overall sales in November and December will rise 4.1 percent this year to $586.1 billion, below last year's 5.6 percent growth. But the online part of that is expected to rise 15 percent to $68.4 billion, according to Forrester Research.
Shana Meche of Lake Charles, La. made what she thought would be a quick trip to Toys R Us on Friday afternoon to pick up an early gift for her son, but it turned out to be a bit more hectic than expected.
"I wouldn't say it was chaos, but it was definitely busy," Meche explained. "A lot of people were still out doing their shopping. I just planned to run in and get what I needed, but it still took over 30 minutes."
Meche, a nursing student at McNeese State University, said she did much of her shopping online instead of traveling.
"I've been shopping for a while now online," Meche added. "It's just so much easier and you don't have to fight the crowds. Some people kind of lose control in the frenzy of shopping."
In San Antonio, the Associated Press reported a shopper brandished a handgun during a Black Friday scuffle at South Park Mall. According to San Antonio police, the man was within his rights.
Officers were dispatched to the mall's Sears store about 9 p.m. Thursday in response to a call about a shooting, according to an incident report. When they arrived, they detained Jose Alonzo Salame, 33, who was holding a black 9 mm semi-automatic handgun with a black holster.
"We don't see this very often," Officer Matthew Porter said, adding that Salame did not break the law by displaying the weapon. "He was within his rights."
Police confiscated the gun, which was loaded and had one round in a chamber, the report says.
Salame reportedly showed proof that he had a concealed handgun license, and he told officers that he pulled the gun out to defend himself because he was punched in the face by Alejandro Alex, 35. Salame, who did not fire the weapon, said he feared further injury by Alex.
The store had opened its doors to Black Friday shoppers about an hour before the incident, which occurred as crowds packed into the store.
Witnesses reportedly told police that Salame had behaved rudely and had provoked the situation before pulling the handgun and pointing it at Alex, though San Antonio Police Sgt. Rob Carey said at the scene of the incident that he had actually pointed it at the ground.

Why would anyone spend four months and $180,000 building something that will only last a week? The answer says a lot about Burning Man culture

The cladding on Dumont was placed and removed several times with different teams to hone the design and facilitate learning, waiting until late July to finally break it down and get its frames and cladding ready for transport to Burning Man. While the team used computer programs to design the structure and faces, the artistry came in modifying Dumont and letting it inform how the other dunes would look.
To represent the varied texture of hillsides, the plywood received a light latex whitewash, the wood grain showing through. Solid plywood sections would represent veins of solid rock, surrounded by the layers of sediment and dirt that would be created using strips of plywood randomly thatched together at varying angles.
"The metaphor we're working for is the rock face with the various strata and how it changed over time," Rebecca said.
"It's important that it's not an artist's sketch," PK said, but a work of art in progress. So as they learned from Dumont, studied photos of their dunes' namesakes, and thought more about their art, the leads would draw new lines on the cardboard model they created, refining the design.
"I'm trying to use geological rules to do this. It's all conceptual geology," Jess said one Saturday in late June as she drew on the model with a pencil, shop glasses on her head, earplugs hanging about her neck, wearing a Power Tool Drag Races T-shirt.
In addition to doing freelance graphic design, she helps run All-Power Labs with her boyfriend, longtime Burning Man artist Jim Mason. "Work gets in the way," said Jess, who was working on the temple project full-time. She supplemented her hands-on Burning Man art experience by studying at the San Francisco Art Institute, earning her MFA in 2005. So she brought an artistic eye to her innate social skills that made her an unflappable connecter of key people.
During a meeting at American Steel, PK said the architectural term for the way shapes are created that only fit together a few different ways is a "kit of parts," adding, "It's like building a puzzle without the box."
Later, on the playa, he conveyed the concept to the group in a way that seemed downright zen. "The pieces will tell you the way more than the guidelines," PK said of the cladding shapes and thatches. He said shapes have an inherent nature, something they want to be, and "they will show you the way if you let them."
But the process was always more important than the product, something that was conveyed regularly through the project. At the July 12 meeting and work night, Jess, Rebecca, and Catie said the need for progress shouldn't compromise the central mission of teaching and learning.
They told the temple crew that one woman working on the project complained that some of the more skilled men weren't taking the time to teach her, and they said that was simply unacceptable. Rebecca even invoked the original Temple builder, artist David Best, who built all the Temples until 2005.
"David Best said, 'Never take a tool out of a woman's hand. It's insulting and not OK.' But I'd like to expand that and say never take a tool out of anyone's hand," Rebecca said. "Hopefully we can take on that sexism and some of the other isms in the world."
Heavy equipment has become essential to creating the large-scale art that has been popping up in Black Rock City in recent years, so Burning Man has an Art Support Services crew to operate a fleet of cranes, construction booms, scissor lifts, and other equipment that big projects need.
For months, the Temple of Flux crew built sturdy frames that were carefully broken down for transportation on five tractor-trailers, along with hundreds of cladding thatches stacked on pallets, boxes of decorated niches, a tool room built in a shipping container, all the pieces and parts needed to create a smooth build on the playa.
If we wanted to obsess with Burning Man, we'd be there right now.
I'm so glad that Steven T. Jones finds joy in Burning Man.
But can't we have a moment free from his obsession while he's in the desert?
That he makes his obsession ours as we opt out denies us the right to opt out.
Glad you've got a good thing. Now give us a break.

I think it is amazing what these guys do in the burn "off season" to enhance the experience of those who pilgrimage to BRC each year!!
give them a break tosser.

Well Done Steve! Nice focused piece on the crew that's building the temple. It's nice to hear about a free specific characters and their story. It's also good to hear about the strong focus on teaching/sharing knowledge, which I feel was not as strong in previous years. Rebecca and Jess and the other Flaming Lotus Girls are bringing a real legacy in that regard! Which, I believe, is an important aspect of group collaboration and should expand if BM truly want to survive as many creative collaborative groups of artists. Looking forward to your book!

Congratulations to the folks who are wealthy enough in spirit and energy and giving enough of their lives and time to Burnola to go forth and do great things.
I, for one, welcome our new Harry Larvay overlords and will say for the last time, it was better in past.

I think most of the people on the project live at or around what the Government would call poverty level. I am as jaded as they come in regards to BM but I was a honor the work on the temple with the crew.

$180,000 + all that disposable income. I wonder how many hot meals that would provide for the less fortunate citizens of San Francisco. How revolutionary and creative it would be if all that energy, talent and wealth were put to 'better' use.
Posted by Guest Patrick Monk on Sep. 05, 2010 @ 10:19 am
You're looking at the big picture. Most people don't seem to have the ability to do that. This event is very wasteful, but I think most do not care, which seems to be the growing attitude of many in this country. On the chat thing they had going next to the live feed last night someone asked about the Carbon Footprint for this event. No one responded to the question except one person who said they did not care what the Carbon Footprint was. BM was very pretty to watch with the colored blue and purple LEDs they used as part of it. Some people don't mind spending their money on watching things burn. It's a huge amount of money to spend to watch things burn. Then there are those who don't at all mind welfare for the wealthy.
Posted by Guest Bárbara Chelsai on Sep. 05, 2010 @ 4:09 pm
Seriously why? Individually is the carbon footprint any worse than a flight to visit a relative? How do you get around to visit people not here, do you walk across the nation on trips? We should all be glad these people are out of town making the bars tolerable.
Should people sit at home in the dark reading by imitation whale blubber lamp to suit you?
What is the big picture here?
Posted by matlock on Sep. 05, 2010 @ 7:19 pm
you are absolutely right.
Burning Man should not allow fossil-fuel vehicles.
All those who want to attend should be required to behave like a responsible hipster and ride their fixie from the Panhandle to the Playa like everyone else

Barbara, I appreciate your considered response. The annual militaristic Blue Angels Flying Circus is another example of the incredible misappropriation of diminishing resources and lack of consideration for others. Many of the patients I visit every day live in the 'loin, SOMA, the Mission, BVHP, etc; many are traumatized vets or new americans who lived through American napalm and carpet bombing. It is a very challenging time for me, but nothing compared to the suffering of the folks I help care for. However I'm sure this display of American macho gets Lucretia's knickers moist and in a twist.
Lucretia, whoever, whatever, you are, I presume, like me, you have a roof over your head; dont go to bed hungry every night; can afford a Bluebottle latte with your croissant every morning, blah, blah ....
Newsflash ??? Duh, of course we have that right, but then we actually have personal income to dispose of.
Whoever or whatever 'Patrick Monk' is, it has nothing to do with what he/she/it wants; but has everything to do with what we as individual human beings and as a society, value and stand for.
While many of us may know who this 'lucretia looser' is; until he/she/it has the cojones or labia to publicly identify herself, 'she's' just another ignorant c**t, who has about as much credibility and relevance as a gnat on the arse of an elephant.
Posted by Guest Patrick Monk on Sep. 05, 2010 @ 6:16 pm
Why you are interested in how other people spend their own money is a mystery.
What the blue angel's government spending has to do with individuals spending their disposable income, spending on some party you don't have to go to is also a mystery.
It's so sad that we have become a nation of millions of busy bodies with a monumental sense of entitlement to the work, time, and minds of others.
On another note
The NYC anti-mosque types don't want the thing there because it offends them, and SF progressives don't want the Blue Angels because it offends them. Oddly these "I'm offended, I get my way" pathologies are likely reversed when considering the other sides sensitivities here.

Thanks Barbara, I confess I was a trifle confused. Like many other 'activists' of a more progressive and humanitarian consciousness, I dont participate in many 'discussions' here any more as it is heavily populated by 'anonymous guests' who typify the 'ugly american' whose primary concern seems to be ensuring that they have at least two chickens in their pot while others starve. The posters at FogCityJournal are generally far more informed and involved; there is a wide diversity of opinion, and most are willing to identify themselves, argue rationally and engage in constructive dialog with those they disagree with, not hide behind masks and pseudonyms.
Posted by Guest Patrick Monk on Sep. 07, 2010 @ 10:11 am
Hello Patrick. You're welcome. There are several people here who seem to possess no social skills and they come here searching for an argument and when they disagree with someone they can't do so without "showing their knife." They write snarky and snide posts. I just ignore them. I think they really have an agenda going on which includes the promotion of the corporations, big business and Wall Street.

that some people have toward Burning Man and burners, virtually always from people who have never been.
If you have been to Burning Man, and you still feel that way, then I'm really, truly sorry that you're one of the few people who didn't get anything out of the event and you were unable to transcend the superficial. Much more likely, however, is that the people who constantly pooh-pooh it have never been, and their mind is closed to having the experience. All I can say is, you know not what you speak of.
I just returned from my third burn, and for me it is the most mindblowing, life-changing, surreal experience I've ever had. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and the effect it has cannot be measured in dollars, or in carbon. And it's totally impossible to explain, to people who don't want to understand.
Hell, it's totally impossible to explain even if your mind is open to it! My wife went with me for the first time this year. I warned her about all the hardships she'd have to endure, just to make sure she knew. The week before, I asked her if she was excited to go. While she was curious, based on all my past tales, she said, "I'm worried I won't be able to survive a week." Now she says "I don't know how I'll survive till next year." Another thing she said to me as we're driving home (in the default world) was, "I feel like I'm in a foreign country now." Once you've participated, you begin to understand why it has to be out in the middle of nowhere, why the harsh conditions enhance the experience (indeed, are integral and necessary), why people say that they can't wait to go "home" again next year, why words and pictures alone can never convey the meaning of it, and all the other "whys" that you cannot comprehend without actually experiencing it for yourself.
Posted by Greg on Sep. 07, 2010 @ 1:25 pm
But your post is the exact reason I would never go. Thousands of people who "transcend the superficial" is hell.
Posted by matlock on Sep. 07, 2010 @ 2:14 pm
Like you all are the first white people ever to have a gathering that is transformative.
The deal is not that you all go to the desert and have fun--more power to you--rather that you all are so demonstrative about it as if nobody had every done anything similar ever and that you were actually breaking new ground.
This insistence that we validate your fantasy and if we don't, be dismissed as hating you, is what irks so many.
So many of these über bürners would not be happy unless we all agreed to applaud Burning Man with several standing ovations, equivalent to what a freshly potty trained toddler expects when s/he first makes in the toilet.
Posted by marcos on Sep. 10, 2010 @ 10:12 am
See, it's like this, Marc...
The Guardian has a blog entry on literature readings and book reviews. I just clicked on it for the first time to see what was in there. And yep, indeed I found that I'm not interested in Melissa Stein's new poetry collection, or a book on how a Buddist woman confronts cancer, or Cynthia Robinson's new book with an "opera singer as an unlikely protagonist."
I'm just not that interested in that stuff.
So I don't read that blog. Wow, what a concept.
But I also don't go purposefully making comments just to trash it. Some other people get value out of those books, and that's cool. Why would I trash something that I don't bother to read for myself? If I did that, I'd be an idiot, because I'd be talking about something that I know nothing about. And I'd be a first class asshole.
Nobody is asking you to applaud Burning Man, but what really irks people is that you go *out of your way* to trash something that you've never experienced and never care to. Think about how you come off when you do that.
And then there are the "jaded burners"... I have somewhat more respect for them because at least they know what they're talking about. But still... you know, I know a woman who doesn't go anymore, for many of the same reasons I've heard from other jaded burners. But she pointedly refuses to get judgemental about it. She told me (and I'm paraphrasing), "I don't go anymore, because I no longer get out of it the things I got out of it before. But I'm not going to be one of those people who say 'it was better in this or that year' or 'it was better when they didn't allow this or allowed that', because I know that a lot of people still find value in it, and I'm not going to try to ruin their experience. Yeah, it's changed. But everything changes. It's not better, it's not worse. It's just different."
And that's totally cool. At some point I'll probably stop going. And when I do, I hope it's still there, and I hope it still has the same impact on other people's lives that it had on mine.
That said, I want to add one final word for some of you jaded burners... The person I went with last year, went for his first time since 2001. He didn't have a particularly good burn that year, and never came back. Now he says, "I don't know why I stayed away so long." For every jaded burner, there's a born-again burner. You may want to take another look... you might just find that the good (still) far outweighs the bad.
Posted by Greg on Sep. 10, 2010 @ 11:30 pm
The point is that although burning is very important to you, nobody else cares. And you care that nobody else cares. Because you want validation from everyone else for your efforts. Anyone who is not with you is against you.
Look, there are serious political crises facing the US, California and San Francisco, crises that journalistic outlets like the Guardian should be focusing on. If we lose these political contests, your inability to burn again will be the least of your concerns.
It is annoying enough that Steven T. Jones lays claim on scarce pages of news to tickle his tribe during several of the 51 weeks out of the year when you all are not up in the desert.
But when the SFBG to force us to read about internecine BM politics during that one week when we've made a choice to remain in our beautiful burner-free city, it goes a long way to indicate that their concern for significant journalism is minimal, preferring to focus on an insider joke, on meaning less fluff.
Posted by marcos on Sep. 12, 2010 @ 8:40 am
You could choose to ignore it like I choose to ignore the things I don't care about, but you go out of your way to spread negativity.
Having an article on Burning Man doesn't take away from other journalistic priorities, and bandwith (unlike the pages of a newspaper) is infinite for all intents and purposes.
It was written for those who are interested and curious about it, both Burners and non-Burners. It obviously wasn't written for the likes of you and Snapples and Matlock, but for some reason you guys feel like you need to go out of your way to express how much you hate it. Sometimes I feel like you say things just to offend.
Posted by Greg on Sep. 12, 2010 @ 1:15 pm
it's amazing that you could spend so much time around the process of construction for this piece, and yet understand so little about it.
Posted by Guest on Sep. 07, 2010 @ 3:43 pm
You know, I don't think I've seen you say one positive thing about anyone or anything, ever.
Try opening your mind and spreading kindness for a change, instead of closed-minded hatred and nastiness.
Posted by Greg on Sep. 07, 2010 @ 5:43 pm
I don't care, it's your fellow progressives who want to butt into your business and tell you how to spend your money.
If you want to hang out with other cultists and explore your whatever, feel free. It's not closed minded to not want to spend time with people who want to include me on their good time, do you spend your days conversing with Mormons?

>>>Much more likely, however, is that the people who constantly pooh-pooh it have never been,
that's a classic burning man shaming tactic. i've been 10 years in a row, and stopped going in 07 because of how the event has been transformed by authoritarians, and those who follow them.
you're gulping down the kool-aid. you're oblivious to what is going on around you as a burner, your rose-colored glasses block out the light. it will just be many more years until you see clearly. until then, you'll poo poo anyone who poo poos your "transcending the superficial", as someone who doesn't understand what you understand because [name your reason here].
Posted by transcending burning man on Sep. 10, 2010 @ 7:50 am
OK, that's fine, some of your criticisms are totally valid. I'm not saying that everything is perfect. And you'll certainly find no shortage of jaded burners saying "it was better in fill-in-the-blank year."
But I'm here to say that in spite of all the "authoritarians" both in and outside of the Burning Man organization, it's still an event that provides incredible joy to a lot of people -51,000 this year, up 20% from last. And maybe that's part of the problem... as the event grows, it becomes more mainstream, and some of the people who felt like they were part of an exclusive club, don't feel so elite anymore. And some people go as tourists rather than participants, and that affects the character somewhat.
Everything evolves. It's actually amazing that this event has been going on for 25 years in some form. If and when it changes to the point where I no longer find value in it, I simply won't go. But for now I still do, so I go. It's not a matter of gulping kool-aid. I'm just speaking from a very personal level and saying that for me, I get a lot out of the event, and there are a lot of people who feel the same way.
Posted by Greg on Sep. 10, 2010 @ 8:36 am
Burning Man is my worst nightmare. I wouldn't caught dead there. I wish the burners would just stay out there and never come back. SF is so much better without you all!
Posted by The Big NB on Sep. 10, 2010 @ 8:58 am
Having just returned from a very positive and life-changing first burn, I can say that these multiple viewpoints about Burning Man are important to keep my understanding of the event in perspective. I wholly agree that there are some collective blindspots. I've been told, and attested myself, that Burning Man is not the Holy Grail, but is perhaps an important milestone along the way to it. I've also been told, and attested myself, that Burning Man is an extravagantly consumerist society. It is, after all, an American event and I have yet to hear anyone attempt to authoritatively claim that it isn't consumerist, or claim that it's the end-all-be-all-we-will-save-the-world. Objectively speaking, at least from the official website, it's a "social experiment" in "radical self expression" and "radical self reliance". The event is at least true to its word in this sense.
Yes as a result the event can be wasteful, even while people are discovering and experimenting with sustainability. And yes, people who have not experienced anything like Burning Man will have nothing to compare it against when attempting to share their experiences.
But overall, Burning Man is a positive experience, and even if it's wasteful and contradictory, can lead to positive changes on the individual level, which eventually finds its way back to collective positive changes in society. Even if lots of smoke was released into the atmosphere.
My final word is that a lot of the comments here are unnecessarily negative, as if people spent a lot of time continually revisiting this comments section trying to make everyone as unhappy as they are about this event. Which at the very least, is as unproductive as paying money to watch something burn. Since these people obviously are very passionate about burners damaging the environment, why not educate burners about how to reduce carbon footprints while having a good time? Why not educate "ignorant white burners" about other transcendent gatherings that are apparently a much better use of time than Burning Man? I'm rather curious myself :) I'm sure both burners and non-burners can benefit from all this wonderful information apparently being withheld.
Looking forward to tips on how to reduce my carbon footprint for next year! Thanks in advance

Father of Boy who posted video of Black Preteens beating up White toddler says he is not a racist...Submitted by David Infinger on Tue, 08/27/2013 - 18:14
Last week a young black boy posted online a video of a 3 year old toddler being spit on and hit in the face. The parents of both the toddler and the black youths who beat up the little girl say they were not aware of the video.
The video received hundreds of thousands of views online which prompted countless phone calls to both parents. The local Fox TV news followed up on this story and posted the interview with both parents on their News site.

Who here remembers growing up?
Kids squabble. Kids can be quite cruel. I've seen such levels of "violence" by persons (kids) of many different colors and backgrounds.
The fact that so many use this as an emblem to demonstrate, aggrivate and further racial hatred is frankly despicable.
So both parents are flooded with phone calls? By whom and for what motive? To say hi and discuss the weather or was this an outpouring of hate on otherwise private lives?
There is nothing strange about having a bar of soap in your right pocket, it's just what's happening.
I don't remember growing up
because I haven't. :D
I get your point though, and agree. When I was little kid I went to a racially diverse school (actual diversity, not code for '99% black') and nobody seemed to care about race...until the parents brought it up.
That said, I noticed the obvious differences in physical appearance between myself and my classmates/friends at a very early age, so it's not as if little kids don't pick up on it. And of course kids like to pick on the one who's different, so there's that side of it too.

The two
parents in that video look to be upstanding Americans living peacefully together. The black father said the video clearly showed the kids were being coaxed to act that way, and he didn't teach that type behavior.
I think this issue is less about race and more about the stupidity of children at times.
Also, with all the negatively race themed topics lately I want to point out it's not always negative. There was a black man that during Hurricane Katrina had to hitch a ride with a van full of white people evacuating. He said he was surprised at their behavior and would never look at white people the same again.
ALL people in this world are individuals in the end and deserve to be given the respect due any human unless their behavior dictates otherwise.
That is such a hopeful,
That is such a hopeful, promising piece rpcongress.
Let's not bring up the unfortunate reality of the rampant looting, rape and murder that the black population of New Orleans committed during the aftermath of Katrina. When civilization is not enforced by European Americans, it can disappear entirely, and in an instant.
The horror of of the Third World is in our midst, and it will be interesting to see how white liberals deal with this reality when it arrives in full. I think your hope will turn to remorse.
You're so right
but the PC crowd around here will vote you down and turn on their own. They'll find out one day.
Kinda funny
considering in the US, we had the Slave Trade, Manifest Destiny ("Indian Removal"), Trail of Tears, and Jim Crow, which are also unfortunate realities. Selective history at its finest.
During the LA riots
many Korean shipowners helped keep the peace while defending their businesses.
I don't buy into this idea that only "European American"s are capable of enforcing (like the way things are 'enforced' now?) civilization, lest it collapse. I'm not saying that genetics don't play a factor in one's behavior, but let's not pretend that the "European-American" group is the paragon of humanity and protectors of the first world.
Personally, I think it's more of a 'nurture' issue than a 'nature' issue, since the human mind is infinitely malleable. Just look at how effective the MSM is, or any propaganda tool for that matter, to see what I mean.

Who were the Korean shop owners defending their shops from?
Speaking strictly in the context of the United States, it will be Europeans who either preserve, or fail to preserve civilization.
We both know who they were defending their shops from; a predominantly black crowd. How does that turn into "only European-Americans can maintain civilization"? Because I'm pretty sure most of the ruling class is "European", and they're not exactly doing a bang-up job form where I'm standing.
On that note, the actual Europeans are doing terribly. They (as in western and northern Europeans) allowed, nay, *pushed* Europe to turn into what has, just as "Europeans" here allowed the U.S. to turn into what it is now.
"Speaking strictly in the context of the United States, it will be Europeans who either preserve, or fail to preserve civilization."
To preserve European civilization, yes. Given what European/American civilization is like, maybe letting it go and trying something new or modifying it isn't such a bad idea.
I'm not saying that people of European descent should discard their culture/civilization, quite the opposite; I'm saying they should find a better way to maintain it.

Good comment, but where on
Good comment, but where on earth did you get the idea that the human mind was infinitely malleable. What an absurd statement.
Piers, 'zat you?
I don't think it's an not an absurd statement at all. Could you explain why you say that? Look at how easy it is for people to be indoctrinated, or how easy it is for people to build up a false reality around themselves to cling to their belief system.
Just look up the multitude of studies done over the past decade alone on how experience and environment constantly changes the brain, how the brain is capable of 'rewiring' itself (to an extent) after serious physical injury, how easily it is to trick people into believing things they 'normally' wouldn't, etc.
Perhaps I should have said "infinitely malleable in terms of beliefs held"?
tl;dr-- My basic point was that I think people are capable of believing literally anything, given the circumstances.

lol, I was thinking the exact
lol, I was thinking the exact same thing after I typed that. Piers got me.
I would agree that people have a very wide range, if not an infinite one, of things they are able to believe in, with the right social pressures and incentives. Or at least claiming to believe publicly.
I think that's an entirely different concept from the human mind being malleable. Beliefs, or outwardly held beliefs, are indeed incredibly malleable. But they are so, as an expression of a very fixed human nature. The ability to get people to believe or pretend to believe almost anything is a concrete expression of a concrete nature, and that is why marketing and propaganda work. Because how people will adopt beliefs under the right pressures is very predictable.
Grr, you replied as I was fixing a typo! Now my mistake is on the internet for all to see! Forever. +1 for a thoughtful response.
I think I get what you're saying about our fixed nature, and agree. We humans tend to be very predicable when one takes in the long view, and people (generally speaking) fall for the same tricks wrapped in slightly different packages time and again.
Predictably, most of us never take any of this into account, heh.
Touching on that, lately I've been thinking all that has been happening is just part of a never ending cycle, an inescapable part of our nature that nothing we could possibly conceive could remedy*. We build, destroy, and rebuild again...hopefully a bit better than the last time around.
Or maybe I just watch too many bug shows.
*though if we're talking about Artificial Intelligence, then that's a whole different story...okay imma stop before I ramble too much again, but I fear it is already too late...

I disagree
about the European civilization part.
The Chinese civilization is the oldest surviving civilization, around for thousands of years predating European Americans. An older civilization than that was the Egyptians who achieved amazing things including pyramid engineering feats that still today baffle scientists as to how they were accomplished.
Also, the native Americans, the Indians, I believe had a perfectly fine existence until American settlers arrived. Don't get me wrong, I believe in Capitalism. But with all the problems we see rooted to money, sometimes one has to question if those Indians that lived more in harmony with nature were on to something.
Speaking strictly in the
Speaking strictly in the context of the United States, it will be Europeans who either preserve, or fail to preserve civilization.
We could import 400 million Chinese to enforce Chinese civilization. Sort of besides the point.
Good Dads
Good to see the fathers taking care of this and nipping it in the bud.
A follow up on the story of the white toddler who was beaten up.
I recently posted a video that was one of the top stories on Drudge today but it was taken down by one of the moderators. I am still waiting for an answer to as why it was taken down but at any rate, in order to have the complete story told, I posted this video of an interview that the local Fox News did with both parents.
I realize that there are some who may come to this site to race bait, I'm not one of those people. Like many on this site, I want the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. If the daily paul is so gun shy that they can not talk about race and the affect that it has on "all of us" as citizens then the chance to have liberty minded candidates elected are going to be little to none.
Lol, it's ironic then
Because all the race based threads you've created have a white person as a victim and a black person as the antagonist. Not saying there's anything particularly wrong with those threads, but it's obvious you have a pro-white agenda because there's tons of other stories with many combinations of races involved and you aren't posting those.
And let's not forget the thread you put up earlier that got deleted...that was total trash.
So Drudge is pushing a racial agenda?
but you're not?

Palo Alto's marijuana measure goes down in defeat

Not only does this website say that "Yes on Measure C" is winning, but it also has correct calculations :P
on Nov 6, 2012 at 9:50 pm
And, from paragraph 2: :"The results were based on information from eight out of 37 precints."
I agree, typical shoddy reporting, along with the Palo Altans finding out only through a local Palo Altan having to provide a link FROM the LA TIMES, regarding Charles Munger and Mandy Lowell, opposing Prop 30, giving over 35 million against that proposition.

'Potholed roads are in a Third World state'
7:10pm Monday 7th May 2012 in News By Damian Fantato , Council Reporter, also covering Oxford city centre. Call me on 01865 425429
Residents have compared a road leading into their village which was dug up by Thames Water to one in the Third World.
The water company implemented a rolling road closure of North Hinksey Lane so it could carry out a major flood alleviation scheme.
But residents say the road has been left riddled with potholes.
North Hinksey Lane resident Chris Sugden said: "It is worse than roads I have been on in many African countries. Everyone agreed the work had to be done but they have not programmed the resurfacing in quickly.
"It is a quagmire because the rain is washing the soil into the road and there are large potholes.
"It does our suspension no good.
"Thames Water was unfortunate the weather turned against them but it is an example of bad planning."
Eric Batts, district councillor for North Hinksey and Wytham, said: "I have spoken to the contractors about this and the heavy rain has delayed the completion of the work."
From February the 100 residents of North Hinksey were not able to access their village between 8am and 5pm every day while the £7m scheme was carried out.
The work started at Oxford Rugby Club and has been moving towards West Way in Botley.
At the moment Thames Water are working on the North Hinksey Lane service road and work is expected to last for another couple of weeks.
Thames Water spokesman Amy Weiser said: "The work is being done to prevent the risk of flooding to residents in the area.
"We are trying to work in a way which minimises disruption to the local residents and as we move along the road we want to open it up as quickly as possible but this has meant putting in a temporary road surface as we move along.
"This is not the final road surface. We will work there until mid-May and will be putting in a Tarmac surface.
"We want to apologise for the short-term disruption but hope people understand it is for a long- term benefit."

Bruce Arians in, Ray Horton out?
Originally published: Jan 16, 2013 - 5:52 pm
Instead, it appears that Arians has already promised the DC job to Todd Bowles in any situation where he lands a head coaching job.
According to the source, Arians believed that he would land the Chicago Bears job, but that instead went to Marc Trestman, who coached the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League for the last five seasons. Arians had made the promise to Bowles concerning the Chicago opening.
Bowles, 49, spent the 2012 season as a member of Andy Reid's staff in Philadelphia -- half of which was as the defensive coordinator after Juan Castillo was dismissed in October.
The interesting twist is that Arians and Horton are friends, having spent time together on the Pittsburgh Steelers coaching staff from 2004 to 2010.
ESPN insider John Clayton told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Show Wednesday he believes Arians will keep his word to Bowles if he were to accept a head coaching position.
"It sounds very plausible to me because understand loyalty is a very big factor for Bruce Arians," Clayton said.
Clayton believes dynamics could play a factor in Arians' decision to accept the Cardinals job or not and thinks he may not be the right guy to take the reins.
"I think also what it does do is it shows you that maybe this might not be the best fit," Clayton said "Wouldn't surprise me if the Cardinals offer [Arians]. He's one of the hot coaches and he's a coach that I think would be one that would be doing a very good job.
"But does he really want to go to a team that may not have a quarterback and leave Andrew Luck and so he can stick to his guns on that and if it's true that he wants Todd Bowles as his defensive coordinator to keep the job he's obviously not bringing Whiz and Russ Grimm he knows that's not going to work but you can kind of see all those things kind of fitting together and maybe if he's offered the job it's one that's still going to go to somebody else."
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com, Arians is scheduled to meet with the Cardinals on Thursday about their head coach vacancy.
The #Cardinals tentatively plan to interview #Colts OC Bruce Arians tomorrow for head coach opening, I'm told. Maybe getting closer...— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 17, 2013
The Cardinals also spoke with Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell about the job Wednesday.
Clayton said not to count out Bevell, who has become a popular name in recent weeks.
"You know Darrell Bevell grew up in Phoenix and he's all of a sudden become very hot," Clayton explained. "I mean he was in the final three's for Chicago and he thought enough of the Arizona job that he put Jacksonville off for a day to come see the Cardinals [Wednesday]."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The state Court of Appeals must decide whether Rutherford County officials acted improperly in approving building plans for a new mosque in Murfreesboro.
A group of residents sued the county in 2010, claiming officials did not give proper notice of the meeting where the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro was approved. The residents eventually won their case but not until construction was nearly complete.
When the judge ordered the county to withhold an occupancy permit, mosque leaders went to federal court and were granted an emergency order that allowed them use the building.
Meanwhile, the county appealed the ruling on meeting notice. The Daily News Journal reports the Appeals Court heard arguments on Tuesday. One judge asked why litigation should continue, given that the mosque is already built.

"I'm just glad I had a chance after I looked like an idiot on that popup," David Freese said after the St. Louis Cardinals' 10-9 win over the Texas Rangers in Game 6 of the World Series.
And boy did David Freese look like an idiot after that popup. Prior to the late-inning heroics on Thursday night, Freese was, at least partially, the goat for the Cardinals. But this was the lasting memory of Freese at the time:
Not the way anyone wants to be remembered in a World Series. Two hands!
And yet, Freese found himself in a position to save the Cardinals in the ninth inning, facing Neftali Feliz with two on and two out. Down to his last strike, Freese ripped a triple to right, tying the game and forcing extras.
"Initially I was like 'Are you kidding me?' My first AB off Feliz in this situation ever," Freese said. "I just beared down, got a pitch to hit. Initially I thought I hit it pretty good, I thought (right fielder Nelson Cruz) was going to grab it, so just a lot of emotions on that one."
He wasn't done, though. The man who looked like an idiot just innings earlier stepped to the plate to lead-off the 11th with the score tied at nine. And with one swing of the bat, the self-proclaimed idiot became the hero, ripping a home run to center to send the World Series to Game 7.
The botched popup is all but forgotten now after Freese's solo shot to cap Game 6. His jersey was ripped off in the celebration at the plate and the Cardinals suddenly have life again after coming one strike from elimination.
For more on the Cardinals' wild Game 6 win, check out the rest of the Baseball Nation live-blog and Jeff Sullivan's recap.
