Brands Behaving Badly Bronze Medalist: Lebron James
"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!"
Athletes are some of the most charismatic brands in the world. We care about them irrationally. In them we see our highest aspirations of achievement, fair play, right and wrong. And their brand strength directly affects their ability to charge a premium, not only as players, but as endorsers of other brands. In short, the most recognized athletes are often everything a great brand needs to be.
As possibly the most globally recognizable athlete after Tiger Woods (who had a fantastic 2009 destroying his brand), has any athlete destroyed their brand faster than Lebron James did in 2010?
Lebron enjoyed a pristine reputation as a good guy with a great game, playing the role of savior for the team he grew up rooting for—in the town in which he was raised. Almost immediately upon his arrival into the NBA at the age of 18, he was seen as the one who would not only lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to their first championship ever, but also lead the NBA for the next decade and beyond.
In the blink of an eye, this good kid from a small town took the entire nation on a 2-week narcissistic joy ride to simply announce where he would sign as a free agent. The gluttonous process gradually turned off die-hard basketball fans, culminating in the widely panned advertiser-sponsored program, "The Decision."
Virtually overnight, Lebron James went from adored and admired to vilified and despised. True, athletes have spurned their current team to move on to greener pastures, leaving jilted local fans behind in the process. This was different. This was much bigger.
As the most recognizable name in his sport, James's brand embodied the myth of the the sports superhero. He wasn't just the Cavs' Superman. He was the NBA's. By choosing to jump ship in Cleveland and play second banana on Dwyane Wade's team, "King James" threw that all away. Instantly he transformed from from leader to follower—the player who wanted the easy way out to winning. And with reports that the widely covered "angst" of his decision was a sham, a pre-ordained collusion to play with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, he lost his credibility.
The NBA is littered with players of supreme athletic ability. Maybe not of James' caliber, but plenty close. Those who transcend their ability to become dominant brands are those who carve a name for themselves by leading their team and their city to "the promised land." While statistical achievements matter, its the fans who own what the brand stands for. The numbers of players who have won championships dwarfs those who are remembered as champions. Lebron James committed the cardinal sin of branding by emphasizing short term gains at the cost of long term pain. He confused winning a championship with being labeled a champion by fans and by history.
So now, James is faced with a no-win situation for his legacy and his brand. If he wins a title in a subservient role, it's already expected. There will be no great achievement, more like completing a challenging video game by using the invincibility cheat code. If, on the other hand, he does not win a championship, then he will be remembered as a failure who sold out the town he grew up in and the fans who gave him god-like status along the way.

Visitor Info
The serene ambience of the park provides an ideal ambience for a peaceful nature walk. Near the entrance of the park, at the foot of a high cliff wall, is a picturesque pond. The pond runs deep and still - a relic from the mining days of the region.
This park was developed on an abandoned quarry site in 1988. The terrain is undulating and footpaths meander through the lush secondary forest leading to look-out points reaching more than 10 storeys high to provide breathtaking views.
Joggers and hikers will welcome the undulating terrain and the serene ambience of the park.
During World War II, the Japanese selected the Lorong Sesuai site as a memorial for the soldiers who died. All that remains are two pillars and 120 concrete steps leading up to a transmission tower. A memorial plaque lies at the foot of the stairs to inform visitors of the significance and meaning of the location.

Monday March 29th 2010, Capri, Italy
Edwige and I spent the day in Capri on Monday, a beautiful island in the south of Naples, known in France as a french singer sang he found his first love in this Island. Whatever.
We almost missed the boat to go to the island, but we finally made after a long trip walking down the cliff to reach the harbour.
When we get to Capri, we are in awe by the beauty of the city, built on the cliff all over the island, but still, we are wondering how the hell we're going to be able to walk up there.
We finally see the funicular. YEAH. Let's go!
When you get up on the upper Capri, the view is simply amazing and the streets coveres in stones, white houses and...CHIC boutiques : Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, well nothing I could afford buying. So I desperately (NOT) dive into a wonderful italian biscuit boutique and buy some to come home with (most of them made it home safe, just a few were eaten by a silly french woman.ME).
At 11:50, we walk by a nice pizzeria and decide that we might come back here for lunch. Later. We're not hungry now. Let's go walk again and get lost in these amazing little streets.
At around 2pm, we could feel our stomachs cry out for food. Even though we walked by some amazing pizzeria restaurants, we decide to go back to the first one we saw.
We ask for a table on the terrace. Unfortunately (and fortunately later on), they invite us to sit at one table, in the shadow. We get cold and ask to be moved to another one, right under the sun.
hmmmmm...we feel so good.
Let's order pizza now.
Margherita and Capriciosa pizzas ordered.
Beautiful pizzas coming.
and YUMMY YUMMY! They're delicious!
While I eat, I look at the customers getting on the terrace and there comes this lady. I say to myself "hmmm...she has a very special look but i LOVE her dress and her shoes are cool".
Then I look up at her face.
I say "Oh fuck".
I immediately recognize this woman, being a fan of her work for ages, and then I remember she is the wife of my FAVORITE movie director on Earth.
I look for him.
And here he is.
Second "OOOOOOH FUUUUUUUUCK".
Edwige says "what the hell is wrong with you?"
And I say "$ù$ù%%£*%%£*%% (rude words erased), Helena Bonham Carter and TIM BURTON ARE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!"
Seriously, Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter arrived in the restaurant with their children, friens and the girl that plays Alice in the movie Alice in Wonderland, and Edwige and I were scared to interrupt them during their lunch.
I simply TORTURED myself for over 30 minutes to know how the hell I was going to go and talk to them and TAKE A PICTURE with them!
I decide to write them a note, asking whether we could wait after they finish up their meal so that we can take a picture but I can't even finish it as they get up and are ready to leave the restaurant!
All of a sudden, I jump out of my chair, grab my camera, grab to Helena and ask for a picture, telling her how much I love her and blah blah...
Tim is busy paying for his bill so I'm waiting...and then, I ask him to take a picture and he smiles back at me and says "of course ladies! My pleasure!"
And I tell him how much I love him, that he's a genius and he is soooo nice!
We shake hands, he leaves the restaurant and Edwige and I jumps up and down screaming in the restaurant! :D
I was TOTALLY CRAZY!!!
I would have never thought of meeting my idol in such a unexpected way so imagine my face when I saw him! :)
I love him even more now that I saw how nice and simple this guy is :)
Ok now you can hate me :D

ad hoc
For the special purpose or end at hand; also, by extension, improvised or impromptu. The term, Latin for "to this," is most often used for committees established for a specific purpose, as in The committee was formed ad hoc to address health insurance problems. The term is also used as an adjective (An ad hoc committee was formed), and has given rise to the noun adhocism for the tendency to use temporary, provisional, or improvised methods to deal with a particular problem. [Early 1600s]

Master of the House: Alidad's London Apartment
In the London apartment of the renowned decorator Alidad, there is not a square inch that hasn't been carefully considered and lovingly embellished
By Ingrid Abramovitch
Alidad's friends were patient throughout the renovation, but some were horrified when he announced his intent to redo his bedroom in a hue that had never before appeared in his repertoire: beige. He labored over every inch, from the luxurious wall treatment in suede and linen to the design of the fanciful tufted headboard. The refined and meticulously detailed results—as close to couture as decorating gets—won over his most skeptical companions. Best of all, says this fretfully perfectionistic designer, when it was finally done the serene space, like those he creates for his clients, fit him just like a glove.
The bath off the hall is fitted with a custom sink and an antique wood-frame mirror.

The native of Collingwood, Ontario played junior with the Hamilton Red Wings and London Knights. After scoring 100 points for London in 1971-72 he was chosen 27th overall by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Amateur Draft. The young forward split the 1972-73 season between the Tulsa Oilers of the CHL and the struggling Maple Leafs.
Osburn was relegated to the minors after Toronto rebuilt its roster prior to the 1973-74 season. He went on to lead the CHL with 37 goals while skating for the Oklahoma City Blazers. Osburn and defenceman Dave Fortier were traded to the Philadelphia Flyers in May, 1974 for Bill "Cowboy" Flett. He only played one game for the powerful Flyers and remained in the minors until retiring in 1978. During his last 3 1/2 years as a pro Osburn was a consistent goal scorer for the Philadelphia Firebirds of the North American League and the AHL.

Fantastic greenhouse for the money...tricky to set up
By louise jewell from boone, nc on Aug 13, 2011
I had to set it up on a slope so I made a 4x4 pressure treated wood foundation. the kit comes in a million pieces and definitely requires two people and lots of patience. but once you get the basic frame together, the rest is fun...sliding the panels in and seeing it become a real greenhouse. I built planters inside and already seeing the results of what I planted in a few weeks. this will really extend my gardening season in western n.c. mountains. I recommend it to anyone. I bought the 8x8 plus 4 foot extension.

Arizona probably could have picked a better time than the middle of a Callie-Arizona-Leah doctoring three-way to tell Callie she'd been with somebody while they were apart. Was it once? No. More than twice? More than 10? Doesn't matter, Arizona said. It's over.
But surgery on Ella's leg has just begun! Yay, let's give the unstable drama queen a drill. Stupid Intern Leah drills not only through Ella's leg (intended) but into the operating table (not). "MURPHY, PULL IT TOGETHER," yells Callie. And after watching the way Leah pleads with Arizona to "do something," Callie realizes those two have a shared understanding, a closeness beyond the OR. "It was her?" she asks. "Ten plus tons? That's…. just… perfect."
Later, patient Ella's babysitter, wracked with guilt and shame, went on and on about blaming herself for Ella's accident, concluding, "I guess it's my fault for getting so attached." Leah barely buzzed with vague recognition at that one. Zzzzzzzzzz.
Meanwhile, April and Jackson engaged in possibly the last "close talk" of their lives. Yeah right! Those two love getting all up in each other's faces and having intense, quiet, sexually charged conversations. Basically, April's wedding is not happening. There's no way. For starters, April told Steph she "couldn't deal with an Evite." Um, the fact that sending out an Evite was even an option on the table suggests this wedding should not be taken seriously!
April, who is 4 years old, had to remove Jackson from her wedding guest list because his last name starts with A so he was always right at the top of the list, taunting her. She works with the guy every single day, yet can't handle the idea of being in the presence of both Avery and Matthew. DO WE THINK THAT MIGHT BE A RED FLAG?
Intern Stephanie gets it -- well, after pouting her way through her dying patient (returning guest star "pancreas lady")'s matchmaking efforts to set her lover -- not her husband -- up with another woman, she finally saw the light re: Jackson not being over April. She also could have just USED HER EYES (did her recent Lasik surgery not take?) to see this blatantly obvious situation at any point in the last few months. But patients-of-the-week who have meaningful lessons for our interns take up more screen time, so Grey's went with those.
Yangism of the night: "I don't get all that worked up about cranberries," she told Owen as the chief desperately attempted to refrain from inviting his ex to his new girlfriend's Thanksgiving dinner at ex's new mortal enemy's house.
Whew! Your thoughts on "Someone That I Used to Know"? How the heck did Arizona make it back to the bed so quickly after her hookup confession? Yang and Shane: Horrifying or Why the Hell Not? And is Meredith's freaking printer going to ever do anything right?!

As requested by some of you I am going to list latest Promethean Software and Hardware updates.
1. Activstudio 2 build 2.1.13 released
2. ActivPrimary 2 Build 2.1.11 released
download on web shortly.
3. ActivDriver 2.7.0 released.
4. Activpen 3 released with soft touch switch. Please see picture attached. It no longer has a on/off type switch on the tip but has a rubber type feel to it. The difference to look at is the pen nib is different. The Activpen 3 nib is half the size of the Activpen 2 nib. I have attached a picture.
Hope this info is helpful as I know people will be doing there summer builds of machines.

Desire2Learn will be upgrading to version 10.3 on August 16, 2014. Feature improvements and fixes to D2L's usability and functionality that will enhance instructor and student experiences will be implemented. You can learn more about the timing and impacts of the upgrade by visiting the D2L Upgrade Service Alert.

The following tips and tricks have been compiled to help you ensure a smooth digital signage implementation and maintenance.
Committee driven projects tend to experience 'drag' and a loss of productive hours resulting in additional time resources and expense. As a best practice, designate a central team of individuals responsible for each key area of responsibility. They can delegate as necessary.

CU-Boulder has a campus wide agreement with Four Winds Interactive (FWi) to provide their digital signage software. This enables campus departments to implement digital signage for the cost of the related hardware and infrastructure (see below). The Office of Information Technology has purchased this software to encourage usage and standardization across campus departments.
Digital signage is a way of electronically displaying information in public spaces. A digital sign consists of a display device, typically a wall mounted LCD screen, and a connected player device that will play back content, typically a very small format computer. There are many variations to this, including using projection devices, and kiosk style signage. Digital signage can be displayed in many orientations, although generally uses a display mounted on a wall in landscape or portrait format.
Students, faculty, and staff use their Buff OneCards at print-release stations to pay for their print jobs, using Campus Cash associated with their Buff OneCard.
Students, faculty and staff:
Students are provided a set amount of free prints each semester. Learn more about student quota.
As part of the Student Computing Fee charged each semester, students receive a set amount of campus cash on their Buff OneCard to use toward printing from any SPS managed printer and release station.
Student quota is based on the amount billed to a student for the Student Computing Fee each semester.
This amount will is added to a cardholder account within 2 business days of the fee being uploaded to the University Bill.
Unused quota will carry over from the fall to spring semester. Unused quota will be cleared from the cardholder's account one week after the Spring commencement.
Refunds are given for either poor quality prints or for prints lost to paper jams. Imaging Services is able to process refunds at any one of their two campus locations.
Remote printing allows you to print documents from your personal computer or laptop to OIT printers on campus using downloaded printer drivers. Printing from your room, office, or wireless location is easy -- just print from your computer and your document will be secured electronically for 24 hours until you release it for printing from any SPS printer of the appropriate type.
Printer drivers are combined into one package (for each operating system) so that they can now be used for all printers around campus.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Before installing any printer installers, be sure that old printers and Pharos Popup software (installed before the Spring 2014 semster) have been uninstalled. Detailed uninstallation and installation instructions for printer drivers are located on the following pages:

Historical Traveller Reviews of Hotel Riverside Studios
aka The Dumpsfrom A TripAdvisor Member
No problem at allfrom A TripAdvisor Member
The room was ok (tv, freezer, air conditioner, good double bed), bathrooms were comfortable and clean. Housekeeping was diligent. Location is quite good, 2 good buss-lines from downtown and several subways comes to 72st station which is just 200m away.
After all, hotel administration should chance all the advertising information in hotels presentations:
1)"Hotel Riverside Studio is only a couple of blocks from Broadway next to Trump Towers new buildings" - NO WAY
2)"surrounded by many restaurants featuring international specialty shops, supermarkets" - NO WAY
3)"Facilities: Alarm clock, Hairdryer, Iron and ironing board, Kitchenette, Pay-per-view movies, Refrigerator" - NO WAY
4)"Landmark building with European flavor" - European, perhaps, if you travel in far-east Europe
Thanks anyway, we had a excellent week in NY! This hotel is for you dear poor people with no big exeptions. Good luck!
Marginalfrom A TripAdvisor Member
If you don't mind sharing a bath and want to save about $100; it's a good alternative. It is in a very nice neighborhood on a quiet street.
I don't think I would stay there again, because I found sharing the bathrooms with strangers a little bit hard to take. The Hotel Beacon on 75th is a much better alternative, although more expensive.
On the plus side, we were able to check in early (around 10 am!) and they held our bags after we checked out. This hotel would be good for young people and/or people on a budget. As a middle-aged woman used to creature comforts, I will not be returning. It is not as bad as some of the previous reviews lead me to believe. You do get what you pay for.
Awful, Do not Stay at this hotelfrom A TripAdvisor Member
Good Cheap Place to Stayfrom A TripAdvisor Member
On the plus side: Our double room was adequate size, and was fine when all we were looking for was a bed to sleep in at night, and we received fresh towels every day. The shared bathroom on our floor had just been refurbished, and the machine on our floor sold Reeses peanut buttercups, and the walls were quite thick so we could make love all night without waking the neighbours.
If you're looking for a cheap place to stay, stay here. Just dont ask for a safety deposit box.
Give Me a Break.. What Do You Want for $80?from A TripAdvisor Member
Please do not be put off by poor reviews by folks looking to stay at Trump Towers on a "motel-no-tell" budget. I will definately go there again. My room no. was 2s4, if that helps you to make a reservation. It is right next to the restroom, and very quiet.
yikesfrom cayenne1
people live there year round and have thigs hanging all over the doors also leave the doors open so you have to kreep past. phone didn't work dirty and we felt that we were going to fall through the floor at any time we moved.
The Dumpfrom A TripAdvisor Member
a nightmarefrom A TripAdvisor Member
Terrible hotelfrom Drummerjoe
The hotel is made up of four different buildings, "glued" together. As you walk through the front hall to your building, you pass all kinds of colors, odors, and people (who live there mostly.) The elevator must be years older than the building itself - very slow and very unsafe (you could open the door while it was moving.) The outside of the rooms have no uniformity - it seems like they shoved a room into every single piece of space possible, no matter how unproportinal the rooms became. The lock was extremely flimsy - you could push the door open a crack even if it was locked and closed. Sheets and bed were dirty, room was about 1.5 times the size of a king size bed (so you had about .5 the size of a bed to walk around in.) Sink in room was rusted and disgusting. We counted a total of 6 cockroaches, 2 already dead. I expected the shared bathroom to be the size of a public one seen at a movie theather or restaurant, but it was no bigger than a normal hotel room sized one. It was unclean and was missing tiles everywhere.
The up-sides were a TV and phone (which both seemed out of place in the primitive environment) and the quietness of being at the end of a street.
I do not recommend going here at all. Spring for the extra 50 bucks a night for a clean room.
Top Local Tips for New York City
Best advice for NYC visitors. I have been vacationing in the City over the past 5 years. My #1 article of advice...Research any hotel you have in mind...Extensively. It is worth the time if you don't want to be miserable on your trip. Many people's expectations are not consistent with their experience and ending opinion. I believe this is because they had their expectations too high. This can be elimiated by doing research. Read reviews, "google" the property for any other information. You will be surprised at some things you find..Relieved that you found them...and happy with your final choice.
Don't do this I wouldn't recommend going to China Town of Little Italy on a Weekend (including Friday) It's absolutely horrible!
Empire State Building Save yourself the money - don't bother! It's cramped, it's badly run and when you get up there, the crowds are so huge that it's practically impossible to see anything. We went at what is allegedly a quiet time of day during low season, so I dread to think what this place is like in the middle of the summer. Do what we did instead - pay £50 for a 7-minute helicopter flight over southern Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty (booked in advance through Expedia for a discount). A stunning flight and one of the highlights of the holiday.

Paul Metzger - Tombeaux 180g LP / CD
"Tombeaux attains a new high-water mark in the career of Paul Metzger, one of North America's greatest instrumentalists. Recorded in the dead of Minnesota winter, at home and alone, it's the eighth Metzger release to feature his self-modified, 23-string banjo. The album marks our alchemist's third appearance on NN, following critically acclaimed contributions to labels like Locust, Roaratorio and Honest Jon's."
- Nero's Neptune
Minneapolis guitarist Paul Metzger showcases a maximalist aesthetic and a tinkerer's sense of adventure in his rambling, percussive solo works. Over the course of 30 years, playing modified banjo and acoustic guitar, he's honed a style that's austere and verbose, elegant and rustic.
- NPR, Cecile Cloutier

W. B. "Bat" Masterson (November 24, 1853 or 1856 – October 25, 1921) was a legendary figure of the American West. He lived an adventurous life which included stints as a buffalo hunter, U.S. Army scout, gambler, frontier lawman, U.S. Marshal, and, finally, sports editor and columnist for a New York newspaper. He was the brother to lawmen James Masterson and Ed Masterson.
Bat Masternson was born to Irish parents, Thomas Masterson & Cathrine McGurk, in Henryville, Quebec. The baptismal records of "Bat" & his siblings are in the local Catholic church. "Bat" later claimed on U.S. census that he was born in Illinois or Missouri, but that's probably to improve on his tough side image.
Some details of Masterson's early life are disputed. He is reported to have been born on November 24 of either 1853 or 1856 in either Quebec, Canada, or in Illinois, U.S.A. His birth name was either William Barclay Masterson or Bartholomew Masterson, but it is known that during his adult life he called himself "The Genius." The 1870 census of St Clair County, Illinois lists him as Bartholomaeus Masterson, age 17, born in Canada.
Some report that he was called "Bat" as a nickname for Bartholomew. A more colorful account is that he was called "Bat" because he carried a cane which he used as a club during fights. "Bat" was also a common nickname for boxers of the day --short for "Battling."
Masterson was the second of seven children of Thomas and Catharina Masterson, and was raised on farms in New York, Illinois, Kansas and Quebec. In his late teens, he and two of his brothers, Ed and Jim, left their family's farm in Kansas to become buffalo hunters. While traveling without his brothers he took part in the Battle of Adobe Walls (Texas) fighting against an overwhelming number of Comanche Indians. He then spent some time as a U.S. Army scout in a campaign against the Kiowa and Comanche Indians.
His first gunfight took place in Sweetwater, Texas (later Mobeetie), in 1876 when he was attacked by a man in a fight, allegedly because of a girl. The other man died of his wounds. Masterson was shot in the pelvis. This injury resulted in his carrying a cane for the rest of his life.
In 1877, he joined his brothers in Dodge City, Kansas. Jim was a partner in a saloon there and Ed was a deputy sheriff. Soon after his arrival, Masterson came into conflict with the local marshal over the treatment of a man being arrested. He was jailed and fined, although his fine was later returned by the City Council. He served, alongside Wyatt Earp, as a sheriff's deputy and within a few months he was elected County Sheriff of Ford County, Kansas. Fighting in Colorado on the Santa Fe side of its war against the Rio Grande railroad, Masterson continued as Ford County sheriff until he was voted out of office in 1879. During this same period his brother Ed was Marshal of Dodge City and was killed in the line of duty April 9, 1878.
For the next several years, he made a living as a gambler moving through several of the legendary towns of the Old West. He visited Wyatt Earp in Tombstone, Arizona, leaving shortly before the famous "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral." He spent a year as Marshal of Trinidad, Colorado.

In 1883 he participated in a bloodless conflict and gunfighter gathering later called the Dodge City War (see photo). By 1889, he was living in Denver, Colorado, where he was involved with Soapy Smith in the infamous election ballot stuffing scandal. He purchased the Palace Variety Theater and married an actress, Emma Walters, on November 21, 1891. In 1892 he managed the Denver Exchange Club in Creede, Colorado and continued to travel around the boomtowns of the West, gambling and promoting prize fights. He began writing a weekly sports column for George's Weekly, a Denver newspaper, and opened the Olympic Athletic Club to promote the sport of boxing.
Bat Masterson lived in the American West during a violent and frequently lawless period. He was well-known as a gunman, due mostly to self-promotion. He is confirmed to have killed only one man in a gunfight, not counting any he might have killed at the Battle of Adobe Walls or on the frontier. Despite Bat receiving more fame, his brother James was involved in more (three) gunfights than was Bat, but with little notoriety. His brother Ed, although depicted in films since as being somewhat out of his element in law enforcement, was in two shootouts during his service as a Dodge City lawman, killing both assailants, being shot and wounded himself in the first shootout, and killed in the second. Therefore, it was Bat's ability to self promote himself, more than any actual accomplishments, that likely led to his notoriety.
The authoritative Encyclopedia of Western Gunfighters (Bill O'Neal, University of Oklahoma Press, 1979), lists Bat Masterson with one gunfight killing in three fights. When compared to many other well known gunmen of the Old West, to include Dallas Stoudenmire, "Wild Bill" Hickok, and Clay Allison, Masterson does not even compare.

Masters of Photography – Dorothea Lange (1895-1965)
Written by: Tiffany Joyce
With enough practice and desire to become good at photography each photographer will develop their own style. An important part of improving our skills and developing our style is to learn from leading photographers and discover what sets them apart from the "crowd."
As mentioned in an earlier article, we are restarting the Masters of Photography series. This time we're making it a regular Tuesday feature instead of placing it in the asides. It may seem at first that only photographers from before 1960 are being featured but more modern photography masters will be featured in later articles. All of these photographers, whether from the 1800′s or the 2000′s, have captured images that can never be captured again. We can try to stage a similar image, but it will never be the same and as individual photographers, we'll never develop our own style by copying others. Yet by learning what they photographed and how they did it we will add to our own knowledge.
Dorothea Lange was an influential documentary photographer who was best known for her Depression Era work. When employed by the Farm Security Administration (FSA), she chronicled the hardships and consequences of the Depression on impoverished Americans, especially the migrant farm workers. Her work profoundly influenced documentary photography and she has been called America's greatest documentary photographer. From 1935 to 1939, Lange's work for the RA and FSA brought the plight of the poor and forgotten — particularly sharecroppers, displaced farm families, and migrant workers — to public attention. Distributed free to newspapers across the country, her poignant images became icons of the era.
The Migrant Mother, which is probably her best known photo, still tells its story as clearly today as it did in 1936 when it was taken. Lange, in 1960, recounted the experience of photographing The Migrant Mother:
I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. I made five exposures, working closer and closer from the same direction. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it.
In 1941, Lange was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for excellence in photography, but after the attack on Pearl Harbor she gave up the award to record the forced evacuation of Japanese Americans to relocation camps. She covered the rounding up of Japanese Americans and their internment in relocation camps, highlighting Manzanar, the first of the permanent internment camps.
The photograph of the Japanese-American children pledging allegiance to the flag shortly being sent to internment camps is a haunting reminder of the policy of detaining people without charging them with any crime or affording any appeal.
The grocery store in the photo was owned by a Japanese-American. The banner "I am an American" was unfurled shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Lange took the photograph in 1942 shortly before the owner was "relocated" to an internment camp.
In 1945 Lange accepted an offer from Ansel Adams to become a faculty member for the first fine art photography department at the California School of Fine Arts. Immogene Cunningham and Minor White also joined that faculty.
In 1952 she was one of the co-founders of the photography magazine Aperture.

The value of data is appreciating, especially with organizations rapidly adopting new technologies to provide access to business information anywhere, at any time. This means threats to data or information translate into business risks to business. These risks, related to reputation, customer loyalty, finance and legal, are not only serious but also quantifiable. The first benchmark Cost of Data Breach Study in India, conducted by the Ponemon Institute on behalf of Symantec, revealed that the average organizational cost of a data breach in India is INR 53.4 million (53.4 crore), with malicious breaches by hackers or criminal insiders being the most expensive type at INR 4,224 for one compromised record.
The report further components of the total cost: detection, escalation and redressal formed a significant component, averaging INR 16.4 million (1.64 crore) and INR 20.9 million (2.09 crore) respectively. Victims lost INR 14.6 million (1.46 crore) on average in lost business costs, suggesting that customers abandon the organization after a breach and rebuilding loyalty or maintaining reputation can be expensive.
While instances of large-scale, sophisticated malicious attacks abound in the media, there is a silent, often overlooked danger: the threat from within. Criminal insiders contribute to the most expensive types of data breaches, with organizations incurring a cost of INR 4,224 for every compromised record. Three out of four victims of malicious attacks experienced such breaches and 50 per cent experienced theft of data-bearing devices. Besides these devices IP thieves use email, print materials, remote network access and file transfer to compromise information. The window of opportunity widens further with the twin strategic trends of cloud computing and mobility enabling anytime/anywhere access to information. The greater the motivation and capacity of the rogue employee, coupled with inadequate protective measures, the higher the likelihood of success.
To derive the greatest value from information and safeguard this key business asset, organizations need to use people, processes and technology, along with a holistic and information-centric approach to security. Equally important is that organizations put in place a strategic framework for security. The study reveals that organizations with a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and centralized management of data protection face 46 per cent lower costs due to data breaches than those organizations that didn't have C-level involvement in managing security .
How are you protecting your information assets from getting compromised ?

Titled after Luis Buñuel's 1977 film about sexual obsession, this group show includes pieces from the 1940s to the present, and teases out formal and thematic connections among a nicely considered selection of Surrealist, Pop and contemporary artworks. The leitmotif here is the body reduced to parts: Tummies, breasts, lips, knees, buttocks and vulvas are reassembled into new and unsettling combinations or isolated as fetishized objects.
Dorothea Tanning's 1970 stuffed pink-fabrics stomach, complete with navel, is joined by Alina Szapocznikow's 1966 resin lamp made from a cast of her own lips, and Anthea Hamilton's 2010 clear Plexiglas chair in the form of a woman's spread legs. Elsewhere, foam cubes covered in'60s-inspired fabrics overprinted with images of nude models—a collaboration between Hamilton and designer Julie Verhoeven—converse with photographer Robert Heinecken's Figure Horizon #4 (1972), in which a woman's naked body has been rearranged to resemble a panorama of mountains. Rounding out the exhibition are Surrealist Hans Bellmer's photographs of doll parts recombined into bulging monstrosities, and an assemblage by Alisa Baremboym featuring an enormous screw cast in gel.
The exhibition's big attractions are Tanning and Szapocznikow, both women who brought a more nuanced view to Surrealism and Pop, respectively. A cynic might wonder whether the show is an attempt to recontextualize the frequently unsavory output of Heinecken and Bellmer by exhibiting their work with female artists. But the fact remains that Heinecken's dead landscapes and Bellmer's grotesque automatons lack the liveliness of the other pieces presented here.

Posted: Wed Apr 24 2013
This revival of Somerset Maugham's play about a wealthy family living in Golders Green in the aftermath of 1929's economic crash retains modern resonance through the writing's wincingly tart wit and rich terrain.
We first hear of stockbroker Charles – the titular breadwinner – from his splendidly awful wife, daughter and son, and his lawyer Alfred (a swaggeringly buffoonish Mark Frost). Maugham brilliantly skewers the younger generation's cringing pomposity before introducing their snobby, grasping parents.
By the time Charles arrives to tell his stunned family (who have made a pastime of belittling him) that a client's suicide has left him bankrupt, Maugham has sketched such a hilariously horrible picture of his home life that his decision to jack it all in and leave them comes as a huge relief.
But with every cathartic moment, like Charles telling his son (a perfectly priggish Joseph Radcliffe) that he bores him, Maugham paints a bleak picture of a financially traumatised society in which the long shadow of the Great War separates parents and children in mutual resentment.
The inheritance of loss chimes most timelessly here, funnelled into bitterly funny comedy. The superb Ian Targett's Charles is a feverishly re-energised figure, laying bare the misery of the daily grind in discomfortingly familiar terms.
The final act ends with some overly episodic one-on-one encounters, but Auriol Smith's polished production does justice to an enjoyable and deceptively provocative play, with plenty to say today. Tom Wicker

NOTE: Since this page was first created, custom mounts are now available as a stock item and can be ordered for heights of 10' or less. See our page on Floor-to-Ceiling Mounts.
This installation is unusual in that the wine racks are supported by floor-to-ceiling custom mounts, with 1-bottle deep racks on the outside (visible through the window) and 3-bottle deep racks on the inside, available to restaurant staff. The window-side bottles are very close to the window and are only accessible by removing the inside bottles. They are primarily for display, but the effect is stunning!
Custom mounts are a pair of cross-strapped metal strips with mounting brackets at the top and bottom (to bolt to floor and ceiling). The exact height of the mount is specified at the time of order, and they are custom manufactured for you. The racks are then bolted to the custom mounts, which are available in black and nickel.
An additional use for custom mounts is mounting racks on curved surfaces. The mounts bolt to the curved wall, and the racks are bolted to the custom mounts, keeping them parallel.
The price of custom mounts varies with your requirements and the size of your order. Please call Bracksco to discuss your needs!

i actually thought i was going to be really bland and have no taste to it. but once it was done and i added the parm cheese to it, it was excellent. my kids thought it was delicious. as long as the kids are happy, i'm happy. very good dish.

I thought this was a great dish. Husband and kids gave it the thumbs up too. As the title says this is a risotto style dish which means you saute the pasta first then slowly add your liquid and let absorb. I used left over rotisserie chix and mini penne and in less than 30 minutes we had a great weekday meal.

Very Poor directions. This is like a leftover dish, which can be good, but not with these horrible directions. Mushrooms don't take 10 minutes to cook. I would use precooked chicken and pasta cooked to al dente and cook a lot less time.

Not clear- do you cook (dried pasta as normal first or do you have to use fresh pasta?

This looks fabulous and always looking for figure-friendly ways to incorporate pasta - but tired of the tomato sauce way. Will this method also work with high-fiber pasta?
