Paul Mariano and Kurt Norton are co-founders of Gravitas Docufilms in California, and the producers of These Amazing Shadows, which premieres on THIRTEEN on January 1, 2012 at midnight. Their film is a departure for both men, who have worked together on mitigation videos in death penalty cases, and usually work on other tough human rights projects. But a passion for cinema and an innate curiosity led them to this project — a love letter to celluloid, and a call to action to preserve America's film heritage.

What impact do you hope this film will have?
We want viewers to remember why they love the movies. We hope that our film will remind people how important movies are to our individual memories and our cultural heritage, and why we need to preserve them.
Aside from an obvious love of cinema, what led you to make These Amazing Shadows?
Becoming aware of the existence of the National Film Registry (its scope and purpose) and becoming aware of the shocking loss of American film.
On Thursday, December 22nd, THIRTEEN and WLIW21 will debut an on-air MetroFocus special, "Tech Campus NYC."

Inside Thirteen recently spoke with New Jersey-based filmmaker Bill Jersey, co-director and producer of American Masters' upcoming documentary, Charles & Ray Eames: The Architect and the Painter.
The film, which is narrated by James Franco, explores the lives of the iconic couple, whose innovative work continues to influence the design world to this day. Here, Jersey discusses his inspiration for the film and the Eames' lasting impact on American culture.
Charles & Ray Eames: The Architect and the Painter premieres Monday, December 19 at 10 p.m. on THIRTEEN.
Inside Thirteen: What inspired you to make this film?
Bill Jersey: [Co-director and producer] Jason Cohn. Jason fell in love with Eames' movies, of all things, and when he bought his new house with his wife in Berkeley, he had Eames furniture. All I knew about Eames was that I was in Minneapolis with my then girlfriend and now wife, and she said, "Oh, my friend has an Eames chair." I said, you live in Minneapolis, my children live in San Francisco, and I live in New York. What am I going to do with a chair?" I sat in an Eames lounger, and within five seconds, I said, "I'll take it!" I didn't think about what it would cost, how I would get it anywhere — I loved it. I've sat in it every day in my house and my office for the last 30 years.
Also, Jason did a lot of research, and I realized that the Eames, as Charles was of course fond of reminding people, were not just designers of chairs. Their philosophy, their way of being in the world and their excitement about everything — that excitement was infectious. To me, that's what the film is about. It's creating excitement around them, as they created excitement around their world. They inspired all kinds of people. A financial magazine in Norway that had one of the biggest circulations did a review of one of the Eames' exhibits, and people said, "What in the world is a financial magazine doing with the Eames' show?" But that was what was so exciting about them, they touched every world, and the film touches every world.
So that's why I did the film…in the beginning it was, "Why not?" but then at the end, why? Because it's so rich, so varied, and so much fun. Someone told me, "This is not your typical PBS show." Well, I think that they were not your typical people, so if we made an atypical show, it's because we had atypical people to make a film about.(View full post to see video)
IT: What kind of person did you have to be to work for the Eames?
BJ: Well, first I think you had to be fairly thick-skinned. Charles was not an easy person to work with. A friend of mine, Bill Couturié, a very well known filmmaker — his first job was with Charles. He went out on shoots and was scared to death that Charles would hate everything he shot, but he actually liked one out of nine. And Bill said, "Boy, did I feel good!" But then Charles added, "Well, one in nine is good; if I'd have shot it, nine out of nine would have been good." He was a very tough task masker, in spite of his charm and dimpled chin. But obviously, as my favorite character in the film Jeannie Oppenwall said, "Well, I was exploited, but I was exploited by a proper master." And as she said, you'd be really stupid if you didn't exploit the relationship.
IT: What do you think the Eames' greatest contribution was to American culture and design?
BJ: For me, it's personal — they produced something that when you sat in it, you wanted to buy it — that's a major contribution. Like Charles says in the film, they felt like they were the hosts, and the hosts had to prepare their guests something they would like. I think that attitude, and also the attitude that the designer's job was not to be clever, or creative, or original — it was not to be an "artist" and certainly not a genius. The job of the designer is to satisfy a problem.
When Charles did the "Mathematica" exhibit for IBM, as creative as it was, it was an attempt to get people to understand what a computer could do and that it wasn't a dangerous monster that would transform their lives into a number. So, I think it was attitude and a design sense. You still have people talking about Eames era. And there is so much knock-off Eames stuff; you know the difference. It saddens me that when you go into airports today, instead of seeing the Eames stadium seating, which is wonderful and attractive, there are cheap versions. You feel like, why did they do that? Why do farmers take a tomato that tastes delicious and redesign it so it ships and doesn't taste like anything? But I do think it's coming back. I think most people like it because it's comfortable and attractive. To me, that's their greatest contribution, saying, "You know, what we should be about as designers is making something that works, and works better and with more beauty than ever before." I think that's why Steve Jobs was such a success. That's why The New York Times connected Eames to Jobs — both of them set out to solve a problem. They weren't about trying to create something pretty; they were about trying to do something that people needed done. But, once they accomplished that, they wanted to make it attractive.
IT: What did it mean for the Eames' career and reputation at the time to be selected to put together such high-profile international projects like "Glimpses of the USA," representing the U.S. to the Soviets in Moscow, and the IBM Pavilion at the 1964 World's Fair?
BJ: "Glimpses of the USA" made their career soar, as well it should have. Charles' greatest interest was in ideas. "Glimpses of the USA" was not to show off; I think he just loved doing what he did. When he did the do-nothing machine, for instance, that was just because he liked to play. This was a guy who never grew up — he was never ashamed of what he did.
I think "Glimpses of the USA" was their biggest impact. They were lovers — with one another, with the world, and with their work. And that came through, so that it wasn't just information well told (which it was). It was a kind of a love affair with America that Charles had that made him a good propagandist, because he really believed that this was a good country for him and for the rest of us. I think the inspiration derived from the enthusiasm and the commitment, as well as from any mechanics of design. So while the chairs changed their careers as designers, "Glimpses of the USA" changed their public roles as filmmakers and communicators.
IT: Do you think the disparity between Charles and Ray's positions in the company, at least in their public roles, was a product of the time, or was it because of their personalities?
BJ: It was a product of the times; it was a product of Ray's acceptance of that role of the times. Not every woman accepted that 'stand behind the man' role. Many others stepped out from behind and said, "I'm not going to stay behind that guy because I'm the one that's doing it." But at the time, the man was up front and you just accepted it…there was a certain level of comfort in that for her I suspect, but I don't know. But she wasn't shy in relation to the world. We never really got that in the film, but a number of people talked about that. She'd go to New York City and she'd walk down the street, and she would see everything — she would see the crack in sidewalk that had a great shape, she would see a little flower that wasn't normally a flower. Everything attracted her, which of course terrified people when she was driving a car because she would even do that while driving! She'd look to her left and say, "Oh did you see that?" And the others in the car would say, "No we didn't, and we don't want you to!"
IT: Are there any misconceptions about the Eames that you hope this film will clear up?
BJ: Yes — the misconception that they were chair designers. Charles was a superstar; he was handsome, charismatic, famous. One of our delights was that moment where we looked at that letter Ray wrote to Charles in France where she revealed that she and some other people worked on and made some changes to the chair's design. That was the kind of unarguable evidence of her contribution. As we look back, lots of people say, "Oh, Ray did this, Ray did that." My hope is that people will see them as complex human beings and see the complex relationship that they had.
IT: You've produced many documentaries for public television, including for WNET in the past. What has attracted you to PBS as a venue for your films?
BJ: Many reasons. The shows I did for network television in the 1960s were similar to the shows I did with PBS. But 1960 was a very different world in television. There were four stations – three commercial networks, and PBS. Shows I did for network television at the time were part of The DuPont Show of the Week in 1960. The FCC was very aggressive in insisting that the networks provide information instead of just entertainment, so that The DuPont Show of the Week said, "Okay, we'll do 13 dramas and seven documentaries." And they couldn't care less what we did! So it gave us the liberty to do whatever kind of film we wanted. That's where I got my first Emmy in 1963. So it was a very different world then, and you could get attention doing network television; in a limited way, but a significant way. Whereas now, if you want to take a serious subject and make a sincere work that has nuances in it and doesn't get cut up in five pieces so that you have to restart every ten minutes, there's no place but PBS. Ken Burns said it well — he could've gone to commercial television, but there's no reason to!
I did a two-part series for Fox on the Mob, but that's all they want to do! All they [commercial networks] want to do is the Mob, sex and violence. Who wants to do a show on a guy who designed chairs and made pictures? Only PBS, and only American Masters. We felt that this was the place we could really address substance rather than just surface. Where you could really engage in the pursuit of light rather than just heat. I don't know where else you go besides PBS.

On Wednesday, December 7, join us at the Museum of Arts and Design for a screening of Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness. The film tells the story of residents of a Long Island village who took action after a local immigrant was killed in a hate crime attack by seven teenagers. While starkly revealing the trauma of hate, the film provides a blueprint for people who want to do something before intolerance turns to violence.
Over 200 screenings of this film are being held across the country to spark dialogue and action in communities working together to prevent hate crimes, intolerance and anti-immigrant violence. Not In Our Town highlights the role of community and civic leaders in promoting a climate of inclusion and acceptance for everyone.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker and special guests about what each of us can do in the New York region to stop hate together in our communities and schools, and how you can support the Not In Our Town mission. The event runs from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m.; light hors d'oeuvres will be served before the screening begins at 7 p.m.
RSVP for this event here.

In this Oct. 21, 2011, file photo activist musician Pete Seeger, 92, right, marches with nearly a thousand demonstrators sympathetic to the Occupy Wall Street protests to hold a brief acoustic concert in New York's Columbus Circle. The singer and activist, who revered the masses and declined any personal honors in life, will be celebrated with a few early events planned on what would have been his 95th birthda on Saturday.Photo by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
By MICHAEL HILL
Associated Press
ALBANY, N.Y. — Someday, it might be possible to take the Pete Seeger Bridge to Pete Seeger Park and listen to Pete Seeger music by the Pete Seeger statue.
Plans abound to honor the recently deceased folk icon, with a few early events planned for Saturday, what would have been his 95th birthday. But trying to honor a hardcore egalitarian like Seeger raises some questions.
How do you single out a singer who revered the masses? Is it OK to bestow honors on Seeger that he declined during his life? And would the old eco-warrior want his name on a $3.9 billion bridge serving suburban car culture?
"He did everything possible to not take credit for anything. It was always a group effort," said George Mansfield, a council member in Beacon, the Hudson River city near where Seeger and his late wife, Toshi, lived for decades. "People say 'How do you best memorialize Pete?' and everyone agrees the best way to memorialize him is to continue what he started."
Seeger, who died in January at age 94, was known around the world for his activism and gentle voice on such signature songs as "If I Had a Hammer," ''Turn, Turn, Turn," and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone." He was also known closer to home for his deep connection to the Hudson River and his tireless efforts in the movement to clean it up.
That's why Beacon plans to rename its riverside park for Seeger and his wife, who were instrumental in converting the former dump into Riverfront Park. And more controversially, some people want to put Seeger's name on the massive span that will replace the Tappan Zee Bridge over the Hudson just north of New York City.
"I just imagine a family driving across the bridge years from now and some kids says, 'Who is Pete Seeger?' That kind of thing. That would be cool," said Bill Swersey, a New York City resident who liked the bridge-naming idea so much he created a Change.org petition that has more than 14,000 signatures.
Critics say naming a bridge for Seeger that carries some 140,000 cars a day between sprawling Westchester and Rockland counties would fly in the face of the singer's live-simply ethos. One counterproposal has been to rename the more ecologically friendly Walkway Over the Hudson about 45 miles upriver.
Seeger declined such honors in his life, so the idea of lending his name to bridges sits uncomfortably with some.
"He hated the spotlight," said family friend Thom Wolke, who believes living up to Seeger's ideals is a more fitting remembrance.
Mansfield said Seeger's family approved of renaming the Beacon park, provided Toshi was included. He said the family also will have a say in what sort of sculpture or plaque will grace the renamed "Pete and Toshi Seeger Riverfront Park," which could be anything from a representational statue to something abstract. One Seeger family member, grandson Kitama Cahill-Jackson, said he's for naming anything that keeps his grandfather's name alive.
"Whenever someone wanted to name something after him I'd ask him, and he'd say, 'Do it when I'm dead," Cahill-Jackson recalled. "And he's dead, so I think this is a good time to do it."
Cahill-Jackson is among the people who will honor Seeger in the most obvious way: with song. He is raising money for Seeger Fest, a five-day series of music and events in the Hudson Valley and New York City — including a concert at Lincoln Center's outdoor performance area — starting July 17.
Seeger's birth date on Saturday will be marked with shows featuring his songs in Woodstock, New York and St. Paul, Minnesota, and Wolke organized a show in Fontenet, France. The shows will be held in different places with different artists, but the thought is the same.
"I think part of me is doing this because I want to keep them alive," Cahill-Jackson said. "And I'm hoping that weekend, they'll be alive."

MIAMI (AP) - A medical examiner's report says a man who was fatally struck by a car on an expressway after jumping out of a taxi was a 24-year-old from Cuba.
The Miami Herald reports that Lizandro Marino-Morales went to Mexico after leaving Cuba about a week ago. He then went to Dallas and boarded a flight to Miami where he planned to stay with a cousin.
While in a taxi early Tuesday morning, authorities say he started muttering to himself and jumped out of the car. The Florida Highway Patrol says Marino-Morales laid down in the middle of the Palmetto Expressway and was killed by an oncoming car.
Marino-Morales was married and studying to be an engineer. Relatives told the medical examiner's office Wednesday that he had no known medical issues.
No charges have been filed.

BEST practice: Grant to fuel Puralytics stormwater devices
Send this to a friend

An industry-university team has landed a commercialization grant for its solar-activitated stormwater treatment devices.
Beaverton-based Puralytics will use the $53,000 in Oregon BEST http://oregonbest.org money for its systems, which can be used in retaining ponds and ditches along roadways and parking lots. The idea is that the items can keep contaminants from reaching streams.
The technology, which builds on Puralytics SolarBag portable drinking water purification system, can pre-treat stormwater, which would help reduce overflows at municipal treatment facilities during severe weather events.
The SolarBag is a nanotechnology-coated mesh that, when activated by sunlight purifies three liters of water in three hours. The product is apt for both emergency preparedness and backcountry hiking.
Oregon BEST's funds will help Puryalytics to work with Oregon State University faculty and students in the school's Institute for Water and Watersheds. Todd Jarvis, an Oregon BEST researcher, is leading the research team.
The Oregon Department of Transportation has expressed interest in the product as it seeks to keep highway surface contaminants such as petrochemicals from entering nearby streams.

A new TV ad from President Obama's re-election campaign defiantly insists that GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney wants to ban "all abortions," despite the candidate's recent pledge and a new TV ad that says he would allow exceptions for cases of rape, incest and the life of the mother.
The Obama ad points to Romney's response during a 2007 CNN GOP primary debate when asked whether he would sign a bill "banning all abortions."
"I'd be delighted to sign that bill," Romney said at the time. He has since stated that he would allow for the exceptions.
In full context, which is left out of the ad, Romney suggests that he doesn't think outlawing abortions in all cases is politically possible or socially desired, though he does seem to make clear that his personal preference would be to do so.
"I would welcome a circumstance where there was such a consensus in this country that we said, we don't want to have abortion in this country at all, period," Romney said at the time. "That would be wonderful. I'd be delighted."
Pressed CNN host Anderson Cooper, "The question is: Would you sign that bill?"
"Let me say it. I'd be delighted to sign that bill. But that's not where we are," Romney replied. "That's not where America is today. Where America is ready to overturn Roe v. Wade and return to the states that authority. But if the Congress got there, we had that kind of consensus in that country, terrific."
The Obama campaign says the ad – titled "Seen" – will air only in swing state Virginia, where women voters are seen as playing a crucial role in the Nov. 6 votes.
Read analysis: Campaigns spar over women
Romney has also gone on the airwaves this week to defend his position on abortion and reassure undecided women voters that he supports abortion as an option in cases of rape, incest and when the life of the mother may be at risk.
The latest Romney TV ad features a woman voter and former Obama supporter – Sarah Minto – speaking directly to camera about Democrats' alleged distortions of the governor's position. "In fact, he thinks abortion should be an option in cases of rape, incest or to save a mother's life," Minto says in the Romney spot.
Democrats have argued that women cannot trust Romney because of his shifting positions on abortion rights. As a gubernatorial candidate in 2002, Romney campaigned vowing to "preserve and protect a woman's right to choose." Three years later, he said he was "pro-life" and began to call for overturning the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision.

The beta of the Hive features online forums, but later iterations will add a file-upload utility where members will be able to share screen shots, how-to content, tips and tricks, according to Microsoft officials.
Microsoft officials said they want the Hive to be a community that is run by third parties, not by Microsoft.

Review of The Pol Walk
This would be refreshing to hear in a news block in virtually any market! Boasts of a real humanness in this an election year, which is by definition soaked in partisan politics and bickering. Get out of the headlines and forget the photo ops if you want my vote, the piece seems to suggest.
Review of The Pol Walk
"The Pol Walk" is a delightful and refreshing reminder of someting we too often forget about democracy: that it's supposed to involve regular people. The rhythm of the piece serves its message well, and the sound behind it places the listener firmly on the door-knocking trail with the candidate. Would be a wonderful break from traditional campaign coverage.
Review of The Pol Walk
Wonderful montage of one candidate going door to door: her thoughts, the voices of those who find her at their door, lovely music rivering beneath the voices. I have a particular fondness for non-narrated pieces that allow us to just feel and think and experience with only the subtle direction of the producer to guide us. This piece made me smile and think about how wonderful people are, and about how one-on-one, campaigning can be a deeply human activity. sl

The year was 1990 and Bob was, in his own words, living large. The then 29-year-old had graduated from Marquette University in Milwaukee several years earlier and spent over a year on the pro golf tour. He went to build a thriving CPA firm and thought himself to be in a happy marriage.

Then it all came crashing down.
I fell down two flights of stairs and hit my head on a steel door at the bottom, he recalled. I was in a deep coma for seven weeks.

In later years, Bobs since-departed father would say that he believed the Holy Spirit was exceptionally close to his son at that time. Certainly, the Mother of Godspouse of Holy Spiritwas close. Bob came out of his coma on December 8, 1990, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. Neither Bob, nor his family, believe that to be coincidental.
After coming out of the coma, a long road to recovery began. Bobs parish priest counseled him, and the entire family, not to set timetables.
I had a decision to make, Bob said. I could have continued to live a very meager life by just eating, sleeping and watching television. But by the grace of God I chose a different road. I vowed to live the rest of my life by always trying my very best in each of lifes situations.
Bob with flowersIt goes without saying that these situations presented serious challenges. Bobs marriage ended, and has subsequently been annulled by the Church. He had to requalify for his drivers license, and did so. And then he sought ways he could serve others, resulting in a myriad of volunteer activities.
Bob splits his residency between Illinois and New Jersey, where his siblings are, but no matter where he is, hes volunteering at an Assisted Living Center each day. In New Jersey, he sings in the church choir on Sunday. He is also a Life-Teen/Edge Counselor at the parish.
When I reflect upon this, glorifying God this was the best decision I made, Bob said. Three years ago, after my first day (at the Assisted Living Center), I had this insightfor each human difficulty in life, God will always show us ways that we can advance and in doing so will grow closer to the Almighty.
For someone who was overcome so muchindeed because of itBob has an acute sense of Gods grace and a deep gratitude that is genuinely inspiring. I feel that I am the most fortunate person in the world, he said. While logic tells me that there may be people as fortunate, I firmly feel that nobody could be, by the grace of God, more fortunate than I am. He credits his parents for having laid the groundwork for this gratitude, as they emphasized a complete dependence on the Almighty and a trust in His love.
Like everyone else on CatholicMatch, Bob is looking for that special someone. That hasnt happened yet, but given Bobs outlook on life, we shouldnt be surprised that hes making positive things happen, establishing a number of friendships, including two women that will be lifelong friends.
Bob is also back and enjoying the game of golf. Two players that he competed with on the tour heard of his accident in 1990, and through their connections with Wilson Sporting Goods, got him sponsoreda pro-style bag and a set of their finest clubs.
Golf has been more than recreation, its been a way that God has helped Bob restore his self-confidence. Before I hit my first shot, I will make the Sign of the Cross, he said. This is my way of thanking God for the ability to golf again. He repeats the gesture at the end of the game, in thanks for the stamina to finish the round.
Most people who play sports know that the competition and effort has redemptive value beyond the recreation, and for Bob, playing golf and doing the things hes good at again, have helped build his self-confidence back up.
Its the presence of people like Bob who build up the CatholicMatch community and the Church as a whole. They are living witnesses to God's grace and mercy and what we can all do if we trust in Him more, and focus on what we have and can give.

VIERA, Fla. — There was a lot of relief behind the smile that Adam LaRoche wore when he walked into the Nationals' spring training facility Friday.
It wasn't too long ago, after all, that he wasn't sure if he'd even be back in this clubhouse.
Following one of the most productive seasons of his career in 2012 which included Gold Glove and Silver Slugger awards, the Nationals' first basemen entered an uncertain offseason as he trudged through negotiated with the team for a new deal.
He wanted a three-year contract, but the Nationals were set on just two.
"There was a month or so there that it didn't look good," LaRoche recalled. "But at the end of year I didn't think nothing of it. As a matter of fact I left all my stuff in D.C. I just assumed we would work something out."
It wouldn't be quite as simple.
LaRoche turned down a $13.3 million deal in November, leaving the team to contemplate going instead with utility man Michael Morse.
But thanks to some late concessions on LaRoche's part, and some lobbying by manager Davey Johnson, a two-year $24 million deal was worked out. It's guaranteed the Nationals will have back their entire starting infield from 2012, and help a team unfamiliar with success maintain one of its biggest leaders.
"I don't know that there's anymore that he could have done," LaRoche said of Johnson's intervention on his behalf. "He went to the top in this organization and made a push for me to come back, and did everything he could. He continued to be persistent with it all winter. And I'm sure that helped out."
As indefinite as his future once seemed, the 33-year-old veteran said he arrived in Florida with it behind him.
"I talked to (general manager Mike Rizzo) quite a bit about it. No hard feelings," LaRoche said. "We got it done, and it's a great deal, I'm not complaining about that at all. If anything, I wanted to stay longer. We got the third-year option, so it's still a possibility."
With job security and another shot at a championship, the 10-year veteran isn't taking the opportunity lightly. Neither are his teammates, who say he's a big part of them having their sights set on a deeper playoff run.
"I think that's huge," third baseman Ryan Zimmerman said. "The chemistry and attitudes of everyone in this clubhouse I think is why we had so much success last year. We all get along so well and actually enjoy coming to the field every day and working and getting better with the younger guys on the team."
Johnson said having LaRoche back on the roster was clearly the best move for his team. He not only gets back a bat in the middle of his order that produced a .271 batting average, 33 home runs and 100 RBI in 2012, but a capable defensive presence as well.
"He's like an insurance policy at first base," Johnson said. "I compare him to Keith Hernandez. He's cut out of the same mold. And he makes it look easy over there. It's very nice from an infielder's perspective, to know that if it ain't perfect, he's gonna make it right."
In the meantime, he said he's going to enjoy being in a clubhouse that isn't content with just shedding its former laughing-stock tag.
Unlike last season, when he went through the spring bothered by shoulder and foot issues, now he's healthy.
It's added up to new expectations for both himself and his teammates, LaRoche said.
"I haven't been here through the bad years, but I know guys that have been around here," he said. "It was an incredibly successful year last year and nobody saw it coming. I think guys think we had a chance, and we hung in there and thought were pretty good. But this year we don't. That's what comes along with winning. You get a taste of it.
"My first few years in Atlanta it was nothing to make the playoffs. We'd celebrate, but the goal was the World Series. That's where I see this team going."

Microsoft man saves drowning woman
The cries of a drowning woman were missed by headphone-sporting joggers, leaving her to be rescued by a Microsoft worker. Matt Drury, a security guard at Microsoft's Kings Meadow HQ was cycling home along the towpath when heard a woman's gasp followed by a splash. But the Microsoft man was beaten to the dive by a man called …
I know I'm going to sound really old...
...but the volume some of today's youth have their personal stereos (told you I was going to sound really old) set to is unbelievable.
Often it is so loud that I can identify the track from several seats along in a moving train. If they're near me, and I recognise the tune, I will start silently mouthing the words. This has even succeeded in getting the volume turned down a few times.
There was a girl the other day who couldn't have been out of her teens who was sitting next to me on the train. The volume sounded perfect if the ear buds had been in my ears, but they weren't, they were in hers! She's going to be deaf as a post before she's 30, if she's not already.
Although the annoyance of loud headphones is nothing compared to those who sit on a train listening to music on their phone via the speaker! With all the frequencies from 500Hz to 3Khz rendered perfectly, and the others lost to the world! Is their hearing that bad that they can't hear how terrible music from an 8mm speaker sounds?
And it's always complete crap too!
Worst example I heard
I was at one of the small London stations where you have just two railway lines alongside each other and a platform on either side. I could hear this guys music emanating from his headphones quite clearly from the opposite platform - it was pretty staggering.
Falling on deaf ears
I see a fair few under 30s during the course of a normal ENT clinic and one of the questions I have to ask is "Have you ever been exposed to loud sound through work or leisure activities?" This is almost invariably met by a cheery "No", followed by "Except for going to nightclubs once week and using my iPod on full volume but that's normal, right?"
It might be "normal" but I guarantee its doing your ears no favours at all. But on the plus side, it keeps me employed in future. My best advice would be to get some headphones which completely cover the ear or if you have to use earphones, use ones with a rubber tip on the end that completely fill the ear canal and shut out as much external noise as possible.
Not a sign of loudness
How much you can hear of a person's music is seldom an indicator of how loud the headphones are turned up, but how crap/cheap the headphones (or, normally, earbuds) are. None of the last (I'd guess) 3 sets of headphones/buds leaked audio to the outside world.
Just another example
I can second that. Once, in a train, I had to ask a girl to turn the volume in her headphones down - and she was sitting in the next COMPARTMENT. I admit, I did it for her own protection, as well as mine, I am kinda weird this way. The fact, that she wondered, how could have I heard it, told me that the damage to her hearing has been done already.
It is nothing new. The doctors warned us about hearing problems, occuring amongst young people, since eighties.
I may be wrong, but sometimes I believe it does not stop with hearing.
I could hear the noise coming from the earbuds in the paper boy's ears through the (single layer) glass window on the first (not ground) floor from across the street. That was some thirty metres or so away. This also was some score years or so back, at the height of the "gabber" craze over in the Netherlands.
Not quite that long ago, had to work with someone who was both stone deaf, apparently from partying, and arrogant as in any requests for information were first hopelessly misunderstood and then countered with a "well if you don't know $obscure_technical_detail by heart you don't belong here" (for a yearly event run by volunteers lasting less than a week). That was doubly annoying.
My grandmother is getting a bit older, losing hearing, and complained about family pushing her to go and get some "ears", hearing aids. I do sympathise with that sort of hearing loss but it's better to get those things early rather than becoming cut-off and lonely. She still doesn't like to admit missing things but at least I usually know when I have to restate things a bit louder before she has to ask. She does get my sympathy; that other guy, not so much.
On another note, crashing helicopters might not make that much noise. Without motor that noise goes and without the power behind the flapping the chopping noise also diminishes. And one generally doesn't expect large, heavy objects to descend onto you while walking to the mailbox. I think that would've been easy to miss even without earbuds in, though it might equally well have been a factor--not enough information to say either way.
I agree,
When i was a wee nipper, i did not really think about it either, the louder the better, although things never seemed as loud in those days, i remember sony had their AVLS on the walkman and discman, i think most players have a similar thing these days to limit volume to "safe" levels, though buggered if i know where it is! My kids play their music way too loud, moreso the 14 yr old then the older one, though it annoys me they will be walking round the house with their earbuds in, even if the TV is on or they are doing something, always needing entertainment, very sad.
Now i am older with constant tinitus and partial hearing loss in one ear, i realise how dumb i was ( of course working in a blues club for a few years as a sound guy really did not help, with SPL at 120dba+ @ the sound desk and NO ONE in the club! (and the musicians got annoyed when i told them to turn it down) but i do attribute hearing loss to stupidity in youth too, no matter what i tell my kid though she never listens, we all know better at that age!
I used to work in lighting in my 20s, constant exposure to loud noise with no ear protection (I was in my 20s, therefore invincible) has rendered my hearing knackered. I can hear people talking to me in a quiet environment, hell I can even hear a pin drop, but any background noise and it's almost impossible to hear what people are saying, even close up. This is apparently classic noise damage to hearing.
I'd tell everyone using personal stereos, but I know that like me at that age, they're invincible...
re: Not a sign of loudness
Yes the quality of the headphone does make a difference to how much another person can hear.
If I can't hear your headphones then that might be because you are listening to quiet music or because they are good headphones and don't emit much sound, in which case I can't tell how load they are for you.
But if another person can hear it well from a distance then it is definitely too loud 1cm from you eardrum. Unless the headphones as so badly made that they emit much more sound to the outside than to the inside, which is unlikely.
Kids today!!
Dangers of loud noise it's all "in one ear and out the other"
It is not always ones choice.
Before I made a complete change in the direction of my life I spent twenty years as a tube-train driver. The stock we drove was from 1938 and 1959, the noise in the cab was unbelievable even thought the "authorities" at the time insisted at there was no problem. It is not simply that "the young" won't listen - employers and others turn a "deaf ear" as well. Fortunately my hearing is not *that* bad and my lady is reasonably kind in putting up with, "what? eh? four o'clock!"
Hear! Hear!
(Message from the time of volume and hi-fi sensebility. I blame it all on mp3!)
Radio 4
You know you're getting old when you listen to Radio 4 on your phone instead of music.
Yes, I do that.
That's seriously good to read. Great outcome.
Good folks.
I see it here. Finns are supossed to be reticent, but they've always got a phone stuck to their ear. But, they can't multitask. Get hit by traffic. Distressing.
(OK, it was a "Microsoft man". S'ppose if id have been a Linux man he'd just waddled over.. Nah, Andus - stoppit)
The MS guy hates his Zune but he's not allowed to have an iPod. Otherwise he probably wouldn't have heard her either.
Some people ...
... really know how to spoil a Zune joke. There's supposed to be a punch-line Soloman!
How about...
The guy has a Zune, but all his music was on PlaysForSure....
If .....
it had been an Adobe employee to the rescue - he would have been there in a flash :-)
And then the pan
And then the pan
The cries of a drowning woman
From the rest of the account, it seems she didn't cry out as she was drowning. She merely gasped quietly as she fell in, and then her head was under water so she remained quiet. I mention it because many people don't know what drowning looks and sounds like. It's not like on TV. Even when they get their head above water they are usually too busy trying to breath to cry for help. Knowing the difference might matter one day.
drowning doesn't look like drowning
I've been on loads of first-aid courses and this has never once been mentioned.
Take five minutes to read the above page, you might save someone's life as a result.
Wow, good info to know. I got into "aquatic distress" once as a child, and I'm damn glad that's as far as I got as I was still able to grab hold of a lilo passed by another swimmer. I'm still skittish around water and undergo a similar kind of reaction if I plunge into cold water, even wearing a lifejacket.
That makes me a lot less likely to be an effective rescuer, but having read the above, at least I'll be a better pair of eyes. Well publicised, that man!
PS - damn, could TV suck any more?
Thanks for this
Not quite what I expect from reading El Reg comments - but thank you for this information and the link.
A link of the highest quality.
I really had no clue at all until I read that.
Good post. I wouldn't have recognised a drowning person.
Thanks for that link.
I would not actually exist were it not for the fact that my great-grandmother (a lady from a family of many generations of seafarers and coastal fishermen in North Norway) recognised the fact that my nine year old future mother was in trouble and pulled her out before anyone else in their beach party was aware that there was anything wrong.
Nice Link
I actually learned something useful today. Who'd have thought something good would have come out of an article with "Mircosoft" in the title?
iPod users...
I'm surprised iPod users actually hear any of their tunes, most of the sound seems to leak out :)
The noise is from the iCrap headphones Apple supply
Seriously, the noise you hear is because the 'phones Apple supply are really poor quality and not very good at actually sending the noise into the person's ear. I do agree some people have their music really loud - but if the phones weren't crap you wouldn't know - and they wouldn't need to have them set so loud either.
Cue Fanboi rants ...
nope - I'm with you
As a died in the wool fanboi (5 macs and counting) I agree - they should pull Jobs in front of the Hague for crimes against humanity - the ubiquitous iphone headphones are the scrurge of the last 5 years - personally I don't give a flying shit how loud some muppet wants to pump music into his ears - as long as I don't have to listen to it from 10 feet away. Unfortunately, even today when they could easily have rubber earbud earphones supplied they insist on the same shite open back crappy earplugs they've used for the last 10 years. nail him up.. thats what I say...
@ stu 4
"As a died in the wool fanboi"
My condolences. But I'm impressed that Apple products allow you to communicate from "the other side". It's good to know I'll be able to take my macbook with me when I shuffle off this mortal coil...
Apple fans
But surely that's the whole point of Apple products these days?
It isn't so much the functionality, but displaying to *others*.
"I am on a train and I have a MacBook. How trendy!"
"Look at me pulling up trendy apps on my iPhone / iPad!"
"Listen to the trendy music I listen to on my iPod!"
Proper noise cancelling ear-canal buds are no use because then no-one will notice that you have white Apple headphones spewing Mr Scruff (or whatever the trendies listen to these days) into the audible spectrum of those surrounding.
Not really, no.
I've had iPods since gen 2, the first thing I generally do is throw the Apple earbuds away, and buy "blue" Sony Isolators. I used to buy higher end earbuds, but after you have caught your third pair of $100 earbuds on something and seen them ripped in half, subsidizing the insane prices of high end gets old.
I've got three Macs, two iPods and and an iPhone. I have NO white earbuds! And I don't want to "share" my music with the passersby.
I used to save the white Apple earbuds for an emergency, but one day my Sonys were lost and I was forced to USE them. I don't want that to accidentally happen again. Better no earbuds at all.
And I see lots of non Apple devices being used publicly, why are there no diatribes about the "trendiness" of that?"
RE: Not really, no.
Being more fo the (original) Sony Walkman generation, I have always shunned earbud headphones for proper full-cup headphones. I used to get some strange looks for wearing those full-size, noise-cancelling earphones many years ago when they weren't as common, but it did probably save my hearing from the ravages of too much rock metal. Problem is, I would have been just as unlikely to have heard the poor woman with my ear-saving headphones as the joggers using earbuds, so they're just as bad for general awareness, maybe even worse as they truly do block out all background noise. Instead of rubbishing earbuds, maybe we should do more to limit the habit of "isolating" ourselves from our surroundings in public with music devices.
It had been a Google employee he would have placed an ad for personal floating devices.
Microsoft's Kings Meadow HQ?
Not sure why you've referred to it as Microsoft's Kings Meadow HQ - I work next to Microsoft's Thames Valley Park HQ, and it's a good mile from Kings Meadow where the incident actually took place.
Paying the price
When I was a 'yoof', I too was guilty of listening to music with headphones way too loud, although not on public transport because back then portable CD players were way too expensive and I never really felt the desire for a cassette walkman.
Now I'm in my early 30s, I can definitely tell my hearing is on the way out. It's not such a big deal right now, although my ability to isolate individual sounds in a noisy environment is alarmingly bad (I'm useless at conversations in the pub) and the high-end frequency response of my left ear is somewhat worse than my right ear. I expect by the time I'm in my 50s, I might need a hearing aid.
Kids now listen to loud music way more than I did. Antisocial implications aside, I think we're going to have an awful lot of very deaf 40 year old men and women walking around in 20-25 years time. Thinking ahead, maybe I should consider developing a hearing-aid app for the iPhone....
Semi-deaf from baby
I've been semi-deaf from a baby, and you become *very* concious of anything that can damage what little hearing fidelity you have left.
Thus, my volume is never more than 50%, and I *always* combine earplugs and the quietest helmet on the market when motorbiking.
If only the yoof would appreciate their own hearing more. The constant muffled, 'underwaterness' is bearable, but the tinitus is deafening (pun intended) when it's truly silent.
Though being semi-deaf does have it's advantages - it means you don't hear that tinny, crappy toonz leaking out of *their* earphones...
Megaphone - 'cos my wife needs one sometimes.
She's lucky
The security guy in question did what anyone would have I suppose, but most of the security at TVP put on this bouncer-like thuggish facade.
I've wondered before, when visiting MS, how different the world would be if their platform was as secure as their security.
sounds like a Ballmer PR stunt to me
are we sure SB wasn't visiting the uk and was so outraged to see joggers with iPods and not Zunes that he pushed the nearest one in the water and then called the press?
..they did hear her, just being normal ignorant southerners, they'd rather let her drown than have to strike up a conversation with a stranger.
Re: Nah....
Possibly, but if it had been a river oop north then she would have died of hypothermia long before drowning.
I'm a Southerner
And I always rescue damsels in distress, generally by leaving the pub.
That's a vile calumny on Southerners
It's obvious what really happened: the joggers did see the woman, but also saw she wasn't using an iPod and so considered her not worth saving.
Re:I know I'm going to sound really old...
Sound leakage from headphones is more often a case of shit quality headphones than pure loudness in itself. A decent set of phones, particularly in-ear ones, would allow them to listen to music at deafening levels without being audible from the outside. They also have the advantage of allowing you to listen to the music at a quieter volume as they cancel out some of the background noise. Although I'm completely with you on the fact that it sounds shit anyway.
Nice nod to Fish and his chums there, thanks Bill!
Wrong phrase
Shame you didn't use the 'aural contraceptive' phrase from the next line of the song though.
Yes indeedy!
Brought back memories, that did!
Wrong title
The text say that they guy named Chris who workd for Yell got there first....
Lazy lazy lazy.....
There again, I'm sitting at a desk looking out over Kings Meadow from the... Yell offices.
Are you sure.......
.... she wasn't hit by a flying chair and got knocked in?

As millions of British workers return to their desks, it is holiday planning, not work, that is at the top of the agenda. Leading travel search site Skyscanner expects Monday 7 January 2013 to be the busiest day of the year for flight bookings.
Skyscanner, is anticipating a huge peak in traffic around 1pm on 'Skyber Monday' as Brits battle the back to work blues by heading online during their lunch break to book their next holiday.
Ever-popular sun spots, Spain and Italy are expected to be the top choices with British travellers booking holidays, based on Skyscanner's data, while the US is also expected to make the top three, as flight searches continue to see a strong recovery following Hurricane Sandy.
Skyscanner has also identified Myanmar (Burma), China and destinations across Eastern Europe as some of the fastest growing countries over the past twelve months for the more adventurous British travellers.
Skyscanner's Sam Poullain said: "January is typically a very busy month for holiday bookings, as British workers get back to their desks after the festive period and need that next holiday away to look forward to. We're expecting the old favourites such as Spain, Italy and the US to be at the top of the list, but we're also seeing a significant rise in destinations further afield such as Myanmar and China, while we expect to see Croatia become a firm favourite with those looking for an alternative sun spot in the Mediterranean."

1. Spain 1. Myanmar
2. USA 2. Lithuania

By Mike Sando | ESPN.com
A few thoughts on Chris Clemons' holdout from the Seattle Seahawks' mandatory minicamp:
- Setting precedent: Seattle's current leadership hasn't gone through a similar situation since taking over before the 2010 season. The rest of the team will be watching to see how the Seahawks respond. Coach Pete Carroll has made it clear through his public comments that the team values Clemons' contributions. These situations are usually personal from the player's perspective. It's easier to reach a solution when the team takes the high road.
- Timing matters: Teams want to operate on timetables reflecting their own priorities. They don't want to be bullied. Seattle sounds amenable to reaching a new deal with Clemons, but when? Clemons obviously wants one now. How hard can Clemons push before the team considers other options? We don't know the answer to that question. We do know general manager John Schneider's history. Schneider worked for Ted Thompson in Green Bay when the Packers moved on from Brett Favre, a legend. Moving on from non-legends is easier. There's still plenty of time for the Seahawks and Clemons to work through this situation, but every team has its limits.
- Clemons has value: Yes, the team used its first-round draft choice for Clemons' eventual replacement, Bruce Irvin. But the Seahawks wanted two top pass-rushers, not just one. Clemons' 11 sacks weren't enough to make Seattle a consistently effective pass-rush team. Having Clemons and Irvin together has the potential to change that dynamic. For that reason, the Seahawks will want to keep Clemons and probably extend his contract. Clemons already plays angry. I'd expect him to play even angrier if his contract situation remains unchanged this season. If that were to happen, however, Clemons might be more likely to bolt in free agency. The team would have ample time to prepare for that scenario, at least.
