A journal for brief ideas, Heisenberg's mirror, space-mission stickers and more
By Hamish Johnston
"Dr Heisenberg's Magic Mirror of Uncertainty" is the name of a series of photographs taken in 1999 by the American photographer Duane Michals. The picture over at that link is lovely, but I don't really see the connection to quantum mechanics. I suspect my artist friends would accuse me of being a scientific literalist, which doesn't bother me one bit.
More to my liking are the graphics pictured above, which have been created by Ariel Waldman and Lisa Ballard. The pair run a website called spaceprob.es, which "catalogues the active human-made machines that freckle our solar system and dot our galaxy". Here is their page on Voyager 2, which is packed with facts about the mission's instruments and many accomplishments. These and other illustrations of space missions can be bought as stickers and posters – the perfect gift for the space enthusiast in your life.

Flying high in Baltimore
By Susan Curtis in Baltimore, US
After two days of getting to grips with biophysics – see here and here for my experiences – I was ready for a change of scene. And a visit to the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI), co-located with the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore but operated on behalf of NASA, was just what I needed.
The STScI is home to many of the scientists and engineers who made the Hubble Space Telescope possible, and who have been working for many years to design the optics and instrumentation for its successor – the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which is due to be launched in 2018. The institute also runs the science operations for Hubble and soon will for the JWST, providing software tools for astronomers to make their observations and processing the raw data acquired by the onboard instruments to make it ready for scientific analysis.
Photonics by the Bay
By Margaret Harris in San Francisco
The International Year of Light is a global celebration, but right now, it's definitely got its heart in San Francisco. For the past five days, experts in optics, lasers and biomedical imaging have been converging on the "city by the bay" for the annual Photonics West conference, and I've joined them in order to learn more about the hot topics in optical science.
Physics meets biology in Baltimore
By Susan Curtis in Baltimore, US
I'm in Baltimore this week for the 59th annual meeting of the Biophysical Society. The field of biophysics has grown rapidly in recent years as physics-based techniques have opened up new ways to study and understand biological processes, but with my limited knowledge of biology I was nervous that I would feel a little out of my depth.
The first talk of the "New and Notable" symposium helped to allay my fears. Michelle Wang is a physicist at Cornell University in the US who exploits optical techniques to trap and manipulate biomolecules. While established methods can only trap a single biomolecule at a time, Wang and her colleagues have pioneered the use of nanophotonic structures that can trap multiple biomolecules in a standing wave created within an optical waveguide.
"Our optical-trapping innovation reduces bench-top optics to a small device on a chip," Wang told physicsworld.com when the team first reported their so-called nanophotonic standing-wave array trap last year. Since then, Wang and her colleagues have been working to integrate fluorescent markers with the nanophotonic trap to track the position of individual biomolecules, and have also been experimenting with optical waveguide materials other than silicon to improve performance and enable new applications.

Royal approval for the International Year of Light
By Matin Durrani
And so last night to St James's Palace in London and the official UK launch of the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies (IYL 2015). The building, which belongs to the British monarchy and has a long history as a royal residence, might sound a rather grand venue for the event – but when HRH The Duke of York is the patron for IYL 2015 in the UK, then who wouldn't take up his invitation to host the opening reception for the year?
The evening began with a short speech from the Duke of York, who said that he had always had an interest in physics despite not having taken it as a single subject at school – and that he was "right behind" all the activities taking place in the IYL 2015. "The International Year of Light is about how we have used light over the centuries," he told the 200 or so guests. "It is how we are applying light, photonics and various other aspects in order to make the world a better place, not only for ourselves, but for future generations."
Personal views on the International Year of Light
By James Dacey
"In the beginning there was light – the Big Bang," said Steve Chu, talking on Monday at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris during the opening ceremony of the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies (IYL 2015). Chu – a Nobel-prize winner and former US energy secretary – was among a smorgasbord of speakers at the two-day event, which brought together scientists, artists, politicians and many others with a particular interest in light and its applications.
Being a journalist, I was at the event with my own light-based technology, the humble SLR camera. I was recording a series of interviews with people at the event, including Chu, to get their thoughts on what the year of light means to them. As I've mentioned in a previous article, the fact that "light" is such an all-encompassing theme can also make it difficult to get a handle on what IYL 2015 is all about. I hope that the resulting video – to be published on physicsworld.com next week – will bring clarity to some of the initiatives and projects in the spotlight this year.
Paris ushers in the International Year of Light
By Matin Durrani in Paris
It was a grey and dank morning yesterday in the French capital, with even the top of the Eiffel Tower shrouded in clouds – perhaps not the most auspicious weather for the official opening ceremony of the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies (IYL 2015) here at the headquarters of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
Inside the conference hall, however, all was brightly lit. The stage was bathed in beams of light in all the colours of the rainbow as the 1500 or so delegates first watched an official IYL 2015 video and then listened as a series of dignitaries voiced their backing for the initiative.
These included a message of support from UN director-general Ban Ki-moon read out by an official and a video recording from Irina Bokova, UNESCO director-general. There were also speakers from Ghana, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia and Saudi Arabia – the five nations that took a key role in getting IYL 2015 approved by the UN in late 2013.
Enjoy 10 of the best Physics World articles on light
By Matin Durrani
The International Year of Light (IYL 2015), which officially launches today at the headquarters of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Paris, is a brilliant initiative, but if you're wondering how to find out more about the science and applications of light, then I've got the perfect place for you to start.
That's because Physics World magazine is launching today a great, free-to-read digital edition containing 10 of our very best feature articles on the science and applications of light.
Let the International Year of Light begin
By Luisa Cifarelli
Today sees the official launch of the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies (IYL 2015) with an opening ceremony at the headquarters of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in Paris. The idea for IYL 2015 was initiated by the European Physical Society (EPS), of which I was president for two years from 2011 to 2013. The EPS proposal was first officially welcomed – and then endorsed – by UNESCO, with full UN backing coming in December 2013.
What can you learn from Descartes?
By James Dacey in Córdoba, Argentina
What's the best way to teach tricky physics concepts to students? Naturally, this was one of the questions underpinning many of the talks here at the International Conference of Physics Education (IPCE) in Córdoba. According to a couple of educationalists in Latin America at least, it seems that one approach is to enlist the help of some of the great scientists and philosophers of the past.
Patricia del V. Repossi, a lecturer at the Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina in Buenos Aires, spoke about how she uses the history of science as a framework for teaching optics. Repossi explained how she had come to realize that some of the students taking her conventional optics course believed that photons are made of the same stuff as "tennis balls". So, she and her colleagues set about transforming the way they teach the topic – by combining a physics class with a history lesson.

Well, I just came across a site that is in developement, and I think it would be good for all of you to check it out, they dont have any anime information like this site, so I dont think it would be harm to post the link, since its not a competitive site, since I believe you guys offer different categories of Anime stuff .
They already have a few series and Manga's up for Public download, thats where I got a chance to watch Wolf's Rain, loved it.
If advertising isnt allowed, please delete the post and dont ban me..
-Link removed by Breaker187- is the site, it would be a good spot for people who are new to the Anime world to begin watching some of the basic commonly known Anime's. So far they've added a full series or a few movies a day, its very fast updated, the site only came out this month.
I didnt come here just to advertise, I just thought it would be cool to post a download site so we all have more to discuss,

homelite chain saw won't start
I have on old 330 homelite chainsaw. It has been sitting for sometime. It will only start if I poor fuel directly into the carburator or the cylinder. I have repleaced the fuel line and fuel filter, and the line that goes from the cylinder head to the carburator, I have also adjusted the carburator needles by turning them completely in and then backing then out one full turn.
I am no small engine mechanic, but I was a car mechanic for 5 years. Sounds like it is still a fuel delivery problem. Did you try cleaning the carb out real good? Did it have fuel in it while is sat? If so did it have the fuel additive that is supposed to preserve gas over extended periods of time??
Sounds like a gummed up carburator.
i had the same problem and it was the ceramic filter on the inside of the gastank connected to the line going to the carb. also i had a bit ofsmall wooddust get into the tank when filling and had to take the brass screen out of the carb and clean it. replace the rubber gasket also..hope this helps..Al

Charles Schwab
) has broadsided the ETF marketplace with rock bottom expense
ratios along with commission free trading. And this time, it's
more of the same.
The San Francisco, CA-based firm announced the launch of Schwab ETF
OneSource- a new ETF platform that gives investors and advisors
access to the most commission-free ETFs anywhere in the industry.
Beginning today, Schwab clients can buy and sell 105 ETFs with $0
online trade commissions. The offering spans major asset classes,
with funds from leading providers, including State Street SPDR
ETFs, Guggenheim Investments, PowerShares, ETF Securities, United
States Commodity Funds, and Charles Schwab Investment
"Just as Schwab Mutual Fund OneSource changed the landscape for
investors and advisors by providing convenient, affordable access
to leading mutual funds when Chuck Schwab introduced it twenty
years ago, we believe Schwab ETF OneSource will deliver enormous
benefit and change the way our clients buy and sell ETFs," said
Walt Bettinger, CEO of Charles Schwab.
ETFs added to the company's commission free trading platform
include funds like the Guggenheim S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF
(NYSEARCA:RSP), PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF
(NYSEARCA:SPLV), Guggenheim BRIC ETF (NYSEARCA:EEB), PowerShares
Emerging Markets Sovereign Debt ETF (NYSEARCA:PCY), and the ETFS
Physical Precious Metals Basket Shares (NYSEARCA:GLTR).
Bettinger emphasized that Schwab clients who buy ETFs online
through Schwab ETF OneSource will pay exactly the same operating
expense ratios (OERs) they would elsewhere, but without paying a
He added, "Awareness and popularity of ETFs have been growing
steadily across the range of investors and advisors. Whether there
is interest in broad-based exposure to equity markets, access to a
single asset class, or a specific fund that seeks to reduce
volatility - Schwab ETF OneSource offers a solution - and we're
helping investors put more of their money to work for them. It's
another example of Schwab challenging the status quo to bring
greater value to our clients."
According to the 2012 ETF Investor Study by Charles Schwab,
released in October of last year, cost is the number one factor
investors look at when selecting ETFs. Investors surveyed said they
pay the most attention to OERs, followed by trade commissions.
Nearly 40% say the ability to trade ETFs commission-free is either
'most important' or 'very important.'
The same study revealed that investor usage of ETFs is going
strong, with 41% planning to invest more in ETFs this year. At the
same time, there is a distinct need for investor education, with
45% callingthemselves novices when it comes to understanding
Total assets in U.S. listed ETFs stand at $1.4 trillion.
Schwab ETFs, which can be bought and sold commission-free online
in Schwab accounts, had $8.6 billion in assets as of December 31,

Icy conditions and a multi-vehicle crash at County Road 50 has led MnDOT to shut down southbound I-35 at the Hwy. 19/Northfield exit.
Motorists could scoot over to Northfield and use Hwy. 3 to go north or south. Another option is to go west on 19 to County Road 23 and then north to Hwy. 13.
This closure will be in effect until further notice. Air care is going to be landing at the scene. Update: Air care has been cancelled.
Early word is that a southbound motorist entering 35 at County Road 50 hit an icy patch, slid across the median and collided with a northbound motorist head-on.

Archive for the 'Media Training Disasters' Category
It's difficult to think of a high-profile American journalist whose career toppled faster and harder than NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams. (Dan Rather's resignation under fire comes to mind, but he was in third place at the time, not first, and had already weathered several strange incidents.)
Williams, who admitted to "misremembering" being shot down while covering the Iraq war, was quickly challenged about other inaccuracies, including claims of seeing dead bodies and contracting dysentery after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and observing a missile fly directly beneath his helicopter while covering the Israel-Hezbollah war.
The moment I'm calling the worst media disaster of the month is Williams' insufficient and glib on-air apology, which only added fuel to his reputational crisis (Williams reportedly later admitted to colleagues that he knew his apology was lame.)
Days later, Williams followed that on-air apology with a memo that said he was pulling himself off the air for a few days. That, too, looked self-serving and glib; it was NBC News' role to remove him from "his" broadcast for the time frame they deemed appropriate, not his.
When the news division did act, their punishment was severe: a six-month suspension without pay. The question of whether Williams will ever return is still officially open—but it's hard to see how NBC, which has stripped Williams' name from the broadcast, can welcome him back. Only if the constellations align—the ratings drop precipitously under temporary replacement Lester Holt, Williams embarks on a redemption tour that exceeds expectations, and Nightly News staffers warm to the idea of his return—is he likely to return to his chair.
More likely, Williams will look to resurrect his career elsewhere. Ethical questions aside, he remains an exceptionally gifted anchor with a fast wit and terrific sense of humor. It's conceivable that CNN, for example—the network that gave disgraced former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer a comeback show—could put him on the air in prime time to host a Larry King-style, personality-driven news show. If his reputation can recover sufficiently, he'd be great at it.
Williams' exaggerations also prompted other public figures to come under scrutiny this month. Fox News ratings juggernaut Bill O'Reilly appears to have exaggerated or made up several stories. He and Fox aggressively blamed the attack on ideologically motivated news organizations—which may be an effective PR strategy—but facts are facts, and the evidence against him, supported by a cavalcade of former O'Reilly news colleagues who refute his claims, is growing by the day.
President Obama's new Veteran Affairs Secretary, Robert McDonald, faced similar questions of misrepresenting his experience when he told a homeless vet who had served in the Special Forces that he, too, had served in the Special Forces (he didn't). Like Fox, the White House stood by its man.
I'll end this post with an actionable tip. Look at your résumé, LinkedIn profile, and/or other online bios. Make sure everything is accurate (and preferably verifiable). It's better to have a slightly less impressive but accurate bio than one that sets you up for a fall.

Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch has a reputation for his erratic media interviews—and he has been fined thousands of dollars by the NFL for his occasional refusal to speak to the press.
In the week leading up to tonight's Super Bowl, Lynch agreed to comply with the NFL's requirement that he speak to the press, if only to avoid receiving a reported $500,000 penalty. But he only followed the letter of the rule—not the spirit of it—and defiantly said, "I'm here so I won't get fined" dozens of times.
By refusing to interact with reporters, Lynch turned himself into a headline-grabbing spectacle who magnified the amount of attention his interview would receive instead of diminishing it. And he doubled down the next day.
"I don't know what story y'all trying to get out of me. I don't know what image y'all trying to portray of me. But it don't matter what y'all think, what y'all say about me. When I go home at night, the same people that I look in the face — my family that I love. That's all that really matter to me. So y'all can go make up whatever y'all want to make up because I don't say enough for y'all to go and put anything out on me."
I've followed the conversation about Lynch's interviews for the past week, and there's a stark split in opinion. Many people support him, pointing out that the NFL demands more availability of its players than its executives, while others, including many sports reporters, find his defiance infuriating.
Count me in the latter camp. Mr. Lynch is a professional athlete. And nothing about his public persona conveys a sense of professionalism.
I've seen people arguing that his job is to perform on the field, not in front of microphones. I find that argument to be insulting toward professional athletes, several of whom I've counted as clients. After all, we would never say, "That Fortune 500 executive is great in the board room, so his defiance in front of the cameras is hilarious," or, "That politician who told the press to shove off for four minutes is great at policy, so it's fine for him to repeat the same phrase 30 times." So why do we accept that behavior from professional athletes representing a professional sports franchise and sport?
Earlier this month, a friend of mine—the communications director for a major professional sports franchise—told me why this poor media relations strategy matters. In a post on my blog, he wrote:
"We grow any of the games we work in through young kids, and for them to see this does not help the game…I want players in my room respecting the media and the media respecting the players and the job they do. It is my job to keep that scale as even as possible throughout the season. Dealing with players, their goal is to make their team and themselves look the best they can, both on and off the field."
And he also wrote that athletes such as Lynch should remember that their media performance could have larger impacts on their careers:
"I've seen it happen when the attitudes of players prevents teams from 'investing' in them. As important as it is to compete on the playing field/ice/gym, when it comes time to sign a free agent or make a trade, all of these things go into an organization's evaluation process. Is 'said player' worth disrupting the current team?"
I hope the NFL fines Lynch for breaking the intention of the rule. Media availabilities are opportunities to positively sell the sport—something the NFL is in dire need of, particularly in a season that has been dominated by headlines about domestic abuse and brain injuries. This doesn't help. And in the end, team sports should be about the team, not serve as an opportunity to advance your own performance art.

Immediately following last week's State of the Union Address, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) responded by recording a video criticizing the President. Unfortunately, his staff uploaded the wrong version, a version in which Cruz stops and asks to start over again.
Bad takes happen all the time when recording straight-to-camera video, and Mr. Cruz reacted the exact right way by stopping, asking to begin again, and recording a clean version. (A cynic might say that this "wrong" video was a wily strategy intended to attract more people to his message; I doubt that's true, but it had the same effect.)
Unfortunately, not everyone handles bad takes this well. In our video training sessions, people routinely mess up their takes—it's normal and part of the process—but a few of them become quite frustrated and swear or make silly faces into the camera.
That's a bad idea for a few reasons. First, the wrong video could accidentally be uploaded instead of your "correct" take. Second, someone could use the tape maliciously against you. Third—and I get this request all the time—your co-workers might want that video for a holiday party "gag reel." (I don't comply with those requests, because training should be a safe place to stretch your comfort zone and make mistakes.)
When the camera is on you—even if you aren't "live" and can redo the take—act as if that's the tape the world will see.
Perhaps the most infamous example of a behind-the-scenes bad take belongs to current Fox News anchor Bill O'Reilly, who is still dogged by this piece of tape from his Inside Edition days (this is definitely not suitable for work — but it is terrifyingly hilarious):
And that's the same lesson a young reporter named A.J. Clemente learned a couple of years ago, when he preceded his first (and last) newscast by swearing before he realized he was on the air.
The next time you have a bad take, realize that the pros have them all the time. Stop, take a breath, and do it again. But whatever you do, don't pull an O'Reilly and let tape of your worst on-camera moment follow you around for years.

Russell Westbrook, an All-Star point guard with the NBA's Oklahoma City Thunder, recently gave an interview that didn't go so well.
As you'll see in the clip below, he gave the same defiant answer repeatedly: "Good execution." He gave that answer even when it didn't answer the question. And, in a moment of candor that spokespersons occasionally fantasize about, he flat out told one reporter, "I don't like you."
Westbrook's interview seems even stranger in light of the fact that his team won the game—and he had a terrific night.
To see how fans were reacting to Westbrook's passive-aggressive interviewing approach, I delved into the comments section of several sports websites. It turns out that many fans defended Westbrook. Their argument went as follows: We hate the media, Westbrook gave them a taste of their own medicine, and good for Westbrook for doing so.
I think they're wrong. Representing your brand well matters whether you're a corporate vice president, a political candidate, or a professional athlete. And Westbrook made the fundamental error of forgetting that his audience wasn't the reporter, but the people watching the interview—you know, the fans who pay his salary.
To get another perspective, I contacted a friend of mine, the communications director for a major sports team who deals with top-level athletes every day. He wrote:
"We grow any of the games we work in through young kids, and for them to see this does not help the game…I want players in my room respecting the media and the media respecting the players and the job they do. It is my job to keep that scale as even as possible throughout the season. Dealing with players, their goal is to make their team and themselves look the best they can, both on and off the field."
If he had a player interact with a reporter the same way Westbrook did, he would do the following:
"First thing I'm doing is having the conversation with my player as to what set them off to do so. After that talk, I would speak to the writer if I feel it is necessary to make sure they know there is a problem brewing. After that, I judge whether it would be best to bring a writer in to speak to the player one-on-one to talk it out, with everything off the record."
He also says he wouldn't have allowed the interview to continue for as long as Westbrook's:
"I'm cutting it off…immediately, when I see what is going on and not allowing reporters to continue to ask questions. The player wants it to be a spectacle to embarrass the reporter and have people talking about it. The reporter(s) want to keep going because it allows him/her to continue to provoke the same answer which makes the player look ridiculous. So, I'm cutting it off immediately and allowing the reporter to write about me cutting it off if he wants. Then, I'm setting up this meeting between the player and this reporter he supposedly hates to clear this thing before it becomes more and more of a spectacle."
And in case you're still not convinced that athletes should take their media interactions more seriously, these final lines should make them think again:
"From the management side, I've seen it happen when the attitudes of players prevents teams from 'investing' in them. As important as it is to compete on the playing field/ice/gym, when it comes time to sign a free agent or make a trade, all of these things go into an organization's evaluation process. Is 'said player' worth disrupting the current team?"

If you're a reporter and want to write about an elected official, do you need to obtain permission from the politician in advance to include their name in your news story?
Of course not. You could imagine the chilling effect on journalism if people elected to positions of power could shut down media inquiries they didn't like by denying the reporter permission to write about them.
Kirby Delauter, a county council member in Frederick County, Maryland, doesn't appear to agree. He took to his Facebook page yesterday to denounce a local reporter, Bethany Rodgers of The Frederick News-Post, because he "did not authorize any use of my name." He also included this rather menacing line: "You need to know who you're dealing with."
To cap off his post, Mr. Delauter threatened to sue her: "Use my name again unauthorized and you'll be paying for an attorney."
I'd like to give Mr. Delauter the benefit of the doubt. It's possible that he doesn't have a lot of media experience and truly believes that he has the right to prevent a journalist from using his name without his authorization. Therefore, I want to use this post to write something productive.
Sir, you have no legal standing on which to sue a journalist for using your name without authorization. In order for a public figure to prove libel, you would need to show that Ms. Rodgers knew her statements to be false or had a reckless disregard for the truth. That's a legal standard that's extremely difficult to meet.
As you've seen from the reaction to your Facebook post (which appears to have been deleted), you only helped to attract more attention to Ms. Rodgers' original article; among others, The Washington Post has now helped to make this a national story.
But you're not without rights.
First, if Ms. Rodgers (or any other journalist) is going to write a story about you with or without your participation in it, you might consider granting her an interview—or at least providing her with a short written statement. Although it might seem paradoxical to exert control by speaking to a reporter you view as unfair, it may not be. The reason for that is something I call "The Rule of Thirds." I made a video about that here.
If Ms. Rodgers is being unfair, as you assert, this post offers you seven things you can do to respond to a negative news story. To protect yourself, you can insist on only communicating in writing (so you can maintain a paper trail) or recording your interviews (some states require two-party notification before recording, so just tell her you're recording). You can even call into question her fairness as a reporter by offering evidence that proves she has "lied," as you stated she did. What you can't do—at least not credibly—is threaten to sue her for mentioning your name.
There's one other thing I'd ask you to consider. Whether you like it or not, The Frederick News-Post is going to continue to cover you. Therefore, think about what's going to serve your interests over the months and years to come. It might be that reducing the antagonism between you and the newspaper serves you best; if so, you might consider requesting a meeting with Ms. Rodgers and her editor to discuss your complaints with the paper's coverage, point out any inaccuracies, and establish a more productive future working relationship.
The point is that you do have some control here—but it needs to be exercised the right way to be effective. Good luck.
Facebook screenshot via Kai Hagen; photo from Kirby Delauter's public campaign page.
Mr. Delauter issued the following apology today to The Frederick News-Post. It strikes the right tone, appears authentic, and reflects an appropriate amount of self-awareness. It should help put this issue behind him.
"The first amendment is alive and well in Frederick County. As a public figure working to maintain and improve the county, it can be very frustrating to feel misrepresented or misinterpreted by a local media outlet.
Over my career I have fired off my fair share of angry e-mails, which in hindsight I wish I hadn't. I can't think of one that had a positive effect. Usually, they only served to escalate the conflict. I thought I had long ago learned the lesson of waiting 24 hours before I hit the send key, but apparently I didn't learn that lesson as well as I should have.
Of course, as I am an elected official, the Frederick News-Post has the right to use my name in any article related to the running of the county — that comes with the job. So yes, my statement to the Frederick News-Post regarding the use of my name was wrong and inappropriate. I'm not afraid to admit when I'm wrong.
I got elected to serve all the citizens of northern Frederick County, Democrats as well as Republicans. I look forward to the local papers covering my effort in that regard."

It's hard to believe, but this is the fifth consecutive year I'm naming the worst video media disaster of the year.
In 2010, the award went to British Petroleum CEO Tony Hayward, who told cameras "I'd like my life back" after his company's massive oil spill killed 11 workers.
In 2011, Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) nabbed the award, for obvious reasons.
In 2012, Senate candidate Todd Akin (R-MO) became notorious for his claim that "If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
In 2013, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford nabbed the prize for making a vulgar comment about oral sex.
Who will join their ranks this year? Read on…
3. Bill Cosby's Crisis Management Backfires
If Bill Cosby is innocent of the 20 or so accusations of rape and sexual assault being leveled against him, he is engaged in one of the worst reputation management strategies in recent memory.
Cosby's media interviewing downfall began when he agreed to speak with NPR about his art collection. But when the interviewer asked him about the accusations, Cosby refused to speak, forcing the host to repeatedly inform listeners that his guest was simply shaking his head back and forth.
Shortly thereafter, The Associated Press released video of Cosby refusing to answer questions about the accusations on camera—and trying to intimidate the reporter by invoking his "integrity" and insisting that they "scuttle" that part of the interview. In so doing, the once-beloved television icon demonstrated how he exercises power behind the scenes.
It's impossible to see how the 77-year-old reclaims his career and restores his reputation. His scheduled NBC program has been canceled, Netflix pulled a comeback special, and concert venues pulled out of scheduled stand-up dates. At this point, the accused serial rapist might consider himself lucky to be living life outside a prison cell.
2. Michael Bay Flees The Stage
This entry is less consequential than the other two on this list. But when Michael Bay—the director and producer whose films include Armageddon, Transformers, and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre—had a technical failure during a January speech at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, he lived the public speaking nightmare that keeps so many people up at night.
Bay fumbled when he realized his teleprompter wasn't in the right place. And without a scriptwriter nearby, Bay was at a complete loss. So he stopped. And restarted. And stopped again. And then, when all else failed, he walked off the stage, accompanied only by a mumbled "I'm sorry."
This one is painful to watch. (And credit goes to his interviewer, who tried to bail him out and treated the moment with respect.)
1. Donald Sterling's Racist Tirade
When Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling was caught on tape making racist comments about black basketball players, many people—including me—were conflicted about the violation of his privacy (the recordings were made without his knowledge). His comments were loathsome, but few of us would want our private comments to be leaked to the world.
All of those concerns flew out the window, however, when Sterling voluntarily agreed to an interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper. His feckless apology led quickly to another burst of racist comments, such as this one:
"Jews, when they get successful, they will help their people. And some of the African Americans, maybe I'll get in trouble again, they don't want to help anybody."
He also took the opportunity to attack NBA legend Magic Johnson (who announced he was HIV positive in 1991) by insisting Johnson was a bad role model:
"Here is a man who…acts so holy. I mean he made love to every girl in every city in America. And he had AIDS, and when he had those AIDS, I went to my synagogue and I prayed for him…Is he an example for children?"
Shortly after this interview, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said he would force Sterling to sell the team. By the summer, Mr. Sterling was no longer the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.

I've rarely seen a beloved celebrity fall from grace as abruptly as Bill Cosby.
Within just a few days of numerous rape and sexual assault allegations being leveled against him, Cosby's brand as the venerated Dr. Cliff Huxtable devolved into a much darker public perception: serial rapist.
If he's completely innocent of all of the allegations being leveled against him—and the reported facts make that difficult to believe—his attempts to mitigate the stunning damage to his career, reputation, and legacy have been disastrous.
I already covered some of the mistakes Cosby made in an earlier post. This month-end post will add a few new thoughts.
As I wrote a few weeks ago, Cosby's attempt to manage this scandal by refusing to speak when asked about the charges during a nationally broadcast NPR interview only brought more attention to the allegations.
Several of my blog's readers said that Cosby did the right thing by offering no comment, arguing that any comment would have only fueled the story. But even if they're right, Cosby should have turned down the interview outright if he wasn't prepared to deliver a substantive response to an obvious question.
Video of Cosby applying pressure to a reporter from the Associated Press was, in many ways, even more telling. When the reporter did his job by asking Cosby about the allegations, Cosby challenged the journalist's "integrity," and asked him to "scuttle" that part of the interview. If Cosby is indeed guilty of some or all of the allegations against him, this video offers an insight into his modus operandi.
Cosby made other major crisis communications mistakes along the way. His lawyer's original statement read as follows:
"Over the last several weeks, decade-old, discredited allegations against Mr. Cosby have resurfaced. The fact that they are being repeated does not make them true. Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work. There will be no further statement from Mr. Cosby or any of his representatives." – John P. Schmitt, lawyer for Bill Cosby
Cosby's attorney had to retract and reissue that statement in order to clarify that it did not apply to one of Cosby's accusers. And when accused of being a serial rapist, how is it germane to include that, "at age 77, he is doing his best work?"
Although many PR professionals have written posts about Bill Cosby, the truth is that if he's guilty, his is not a PR problem. No amount of good communications can rescue a serial rapist—and NBC, Netflix, TV Land, and several concert venues that have either canceled or postponed his appearances seem to agree.
What can Cosby do now?
If he is innocent, he should have already loudly, publicly, and consistently declared so. At this point, he might give a prime time interview to a trusted anchor and answer every question posed to him directly. Some of my readers argued against that, saying he's in a "no win" position. I disagree. Viewers are smart enough to decide for themselves whether he appears credible—which he should, if he's innocent. He's unlikely to do that, of course, which signals to many people that there's truth to the allegations.
If he's guilty, there's only one thing he can do to restore any part of his legacy: Admit it, pay the legal and financial consequences of his actions, and dedicate the rest of his life and resources to sexual assault and rape causes. I wouldn't hold my breath for that to happen, either.
Instead, Cosby has chosen the middle ground—allowing his attorney to attack the women who accused him of sexual assault and trying to muddy public perception just enough to allow Cosby to maintain a portion of his career. Cosby's attorney has every right to challenge inconsistent facts, of course—but instead, he's called into question the very idea that an honest accuser would have waited so long to tell their stories (in many cases, they tried to—but their stories were reportedly "scuttled," often as a result of pressure from Cosby and his team). And Cosby may have benefitted from a lack of physical evidence: a Pennsylvania district attorney who considered sexual assault charges against him in 2005 recently said, "I thought he did it."
There's virtually nothing Cosby can do at this point to prevent these allegations from being included in the first paragraph of his obituary. Based on the available facts and paired with his incomplete responses, that seems entirely well deserved.

There were many media disasters from which to choose this month.
I could have chosen NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell's press conference, which failed to satisfy anyone. I could have selected President Obama, who gave his critics easy ammunition by saying, "We don't have a strategy" to deal with ISIS. Finally, I could have named this Toronto school board trustee for delivering an illogical interview.
Despite good arguments for all of those media moments, I kept coming back to an interview Mike Tyson conducted with a Canadian news anchor earlier this month (this monthly feature was always intended to highlight the serious, the sublimely ridiculous, and everything in between).
According to Mashable, Tyson was "in Canada to promote his one-man show," during which time he met with and endorsed Toronto Mayor Rob Ford (who subsequently dropped out of the race due to serious health issues). But when Tyson sat down with Nathan Downer on Toronto's CP24, one of the host's questions upset him—and he looked like he might take a chunk out of Downer's ear.
Warning: This video contains numerous obscenities and one scary-looking tattoo.
The question that sparked Tyson's expletive-laden tirade was this:
"Some of your critics would say, 'This is a race for mayor, we know you're a convicted rapist, this could hurt his campaign.' How would you respond to that?"
Those "some say" questions—which can be journalistically dubious—are ripe for rebuttals that challenge the premise. Tyson did exactly that, beginning his answer reasonably:
"I don't know who said that. You're the only one I know who said that."
But then Tyson lost it, calling the anchor a "piece of shit," saying "fuck you" on live television twice, and threatening the host when reminded he was on live TV ("What are you going to do about it?").
Tyson should expect to face questions about that conviction, which can be easily deflected ("I paid my debt to society, have been out of prison for almost 20 years, and am here to talk about my one-man show.").
Instead, interviews like this one show that he still has the same volatile temper he's always had—the same one that led to charges of domestic abuse in his marriage to Robin Givens, a rape conviction, and being disqualified from a heavyweight title fight for biting off a piece of his opponent's ear.
Despite all of those incidents, Tyson has enjoyed an improbable comeback in recent years, including an HBO airing of his one-man show and a scene-stealing cameo in The Hangover (below).
I've always had reservations about the wisdom of Mike Tyson receiving a full Hollywood comeback; my uneasiness aside, "Brand Tyson" has been doing quite well in recent years. But this interview might—hopefully, in my view—slow his public return to favor just a little.

Hyundai reportedly agrees to settle 38 class-action lawsuits brought by U.S. owners of its vehicles who allege the Korean auto maker knowingly misstated some models' fuel economy.
Last fall, Hyundai said it had overstated mileage on a half-dozen of its '11-'13 models, or more than 1 million vehicles in total sold in the U.S. and Canada.
Included in the restatements was the Hyundai Elantra compact sedan, which saw its widely touted 40-mpg (5.8 L/100-km) highway fuel-economy rating lowered to 38 mpg (6.1 L/100 km).
A Los Angeles federal court filing yesterday has Hyundai agreeing in principle to terms of a settlement with owners, Bloomberg reports.
Hyundai sister brand Kia, which also restated the fuel economy of many of its '11-'13 vehicles, still is pondering whether to join the settlement, the wire service says.
Hyundai reportedly will give owners the option of an unspecified lump-sum payment, while other reports say a voucher that is worth double the amount of the cash settlement will be available toward the purchase of a new Hyundai vehicle.
Hyundai and Kia blamed testing errors for the fuel-economy restatements. The two brands last year developed a debit-card program to reimburse owners of affected vehicles for the fuel they would have saved had their cars achieved the previously-stated fuel economy.
Both brands have been mum since November on debit-card redemption and the fuel-economy restatements.
Hyundai, who has not made U.S. CEO John Krafcik available for one-on-one media interviews since the scandal broke, said at November's Los Angeles auto show that 350,000 inquiries had been made to a website it set up to issue the debit cards.
In January, the auto makers' Korean parent said it would cost $400 million to reimburse owners of vehicles that had fuel economy restated.

Quince Habit
Hi...I hope that this is the right forum for this question. I usually post in figs, but I have a question about a quince tree that I hope can be answered here. I would like to either train a quince shrub into a tree or move the shrub to a better location.
I'm asking this after reading an article in today's NY Times on quince trees and fruits.
Here's the details...
I was given a quince bush about 10 years ago...it was growing poorly in a shady spot, so I was given the opportunity to dig it up and replant it at my house in a near-full sun location.
I don't know the variety...if it's meant to be a bush habit or a tree habit, dwarf, etc.
I did not think far ahead into the future and sited it poorly. It's kinda jammed in between some evergreen shrubs in the front corner of my house, southeast. Like I said, near-full sun. It has grown shrubby and has invaded into the evergreens behind it. I trim the thorny branches that stick out into my path.
I'm wondering if I can severely cut it back to a main stem and train it up to low tree. I'm happy to clear out the low growing evergreens behind it. If not, I'd like some direction (web site instructions) on how and when to move it.
Geoff in RI
What species of quince - there are several?
Since you say "bush" I am going to assume you mean flowering quince, Chaenomeles. Yes, I am sure you could select one vigorous stalk and train it into a low standard -- you can do this with most shrubs.
The only downside I see to that is you will be fighting a LOT of suckers from the roots all of the time, since nature wanted it to be a multi-stemmed shrub. One way I have dealt with that situation in the past is to put some VERY heavy, dense material on the ground around the trunk of the selected stem, kept an inch or two back from the trunk, and then thick organic mulch over the top -- this seems to stop the majority of the suckers from growing, and you can hand-trim the few that come up around the trunk. A couple of layers of old carpet (that is what I have used), some black rubber/vinyl pond liner with small holes punched in it for drainage, a couple of thicknesses of 6 mil black poly, or possibly one of those recycled-tire "tree rings" should work.
Good luck, sounds do-able to me.
The flowering quince you have is intended to be used as a flowering shrub. Training it to a standard would be a novelty but would greatly reduce the bloom. It might make a fruit now and then. If fruit is you goal, better to get a semi-dwarf fruiting quince tree. The trees do not have red blooms, though.
For you current plant, you could prune it now just to keep it in check but it might be better to wait until fall to move it and then hard prune it. You will lose quite a few roots in the process, that is why it should not be moved during the active growing season.
Dennin and Larry, thanks for your thoughtful replies. I realize now that I have a flowering quince, which is considered a different species altogether (according to Wikipedia). Mine flowers white. I do get some fragrant fruit, but they are on the smaller side and hard to process. I will consider getting a fruit since tree.

if you going to get a quince tree, don't buy from that Ty Ty Nursery. I think its probably the worst reviewed nursery in the US lol. Just google them and you'll see the negative reviews (or members can let you know here). I got a few of mine this year from One Green World and RainTree they mentioned. Good bareroot trees.
PS I saw the korean market had some quince fruit for sale in my area this week. Seems like everything like pomegranates etc that come out at weird times of the season are grown in Chili. I'll have to check the label where they from this week.
Stay away from TyTy for anything, other than bemusement at their bizarre photoshopped photos.
Three main genera of plants fall into the 'quince' moniker.
Cydonia oblonga - the small tree species commonly accepted in Europe as the true quince - a number of different selections, made for fruit size/quality - Smyrna, Pineapple, Orange, Aromatnaya, etc.
Chaenomeles spp. - the 'flowering quince' - some of which may fruit heavily. I grew up eating those hard green/yellow incredibly sour things from a particularly productive strain my grandmother grew. Flower color can vary from white to red to orange/peach.
Pseudocydonia chinensis - the 'Chinese quince' - produces a large firm sour fruit - and is a nice ornamental as well, with spring bloom, great fall color display, and interesting exfoliating bark, resembling some of the crape myrtles.
Chaenomeles and Pseudocydonia fruits can be substituted for the fruits of Cydonia in recipes for quince marmalade, etc.

Reliability Testing of R-DAT Tapes Subjected to Mechanical and Environmental Stress
The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of R-DAT recording media with respect to frequent usage and exposure to extreme environmental conditions during storage. Four brands of R-DAT tapes were subjected to mechanical stress, environmental stress, and a combination of both. Data generated from these tests was analyzed objectively, subjectively evaluated, and subsequently compared. The stability of the media was objectively verified following one year of storage and further mechanical stress exposure.

Thank you for visiting my MM page!
I find photography very fun. I love to be random and have random concepts to make in my photos. The genres that I like to shoot are around fetish specifically implied bondage and foot fetish. I do like to keep these photos looking clean and like art.
I pay models and am willing to negotiate rates.
Hopefully we can figure something out and brainstorm some concepts!!

Do I or Don't I???
I have just recently made my decision not to become an SMC. I should also preface this by saying that I came to this quandary late. I am 46.
Letting go of the dream of having a traditional family, i.e. a husband and kids, is a very big deal for most women. That's probably one of the first steps in deciding to become an SMC. And that's a rough one. I always had this assumption that it would happen, so it was hard to face the fact that it might not just "happen." What if it doesn't? How could it not? How long do I wait?
All kinds of people meet their mates and start families. My confidence about myself as an attractive, smart and lovable woman is a bit tangled up in that dream. I never wanted to visit the possibility that it might not happen. It's negative. It… Continue reading
My Village
Just a few short weeks ago, my aunt died. This was a woman who was among the first to tell me she supported me fully when I told her I wanted to become a Single Mother by Choice (SMC) … the woman who threw me a baby shower, the first person aside of my mom to come visit my newborn son, and the woman who told me she thought it was "awesome" how I was choosing to live my life. To say her loss has been huge to me would be an understatement.
She was clearly beloved in her community, as evidenced by the hundreds of people who came to pay their respects at her wake and funeral. But I had always known that and admired it about her. And this woman, who I so wanted to emulate for many reasons, had me wonder as she lay dying of cancer,… Continue reading
SMC Ambassador
An experience I had this evening left me thinking about how far I've come from the scared (okay, terrified) almost-40-year-old woman who started tentatively on the road to single motherhood 4 years ago and I wanted to share it, since many of you may have had similar experiences.
When I decided to move forward with this crazy plan, the thing that scared me most was what on earth I would tell people about my "status" as a single, pregnant woman. I see similar posts on the SMC organization's "Thinking" section of the online Forum and my heart always goes out to those women. I want to reach out to them and reassure them that in the larger scheme of things it really won't matter after a few days or weeks or months. At least, it didn't for me. I embraced my pregnancy with such joy that by the time I… Continue reading
Plan B?
I never pictured myself as a single mom; but then again, I didn't always picture myself as a mom, period. Unlike some of my friends who were always talking about having babies during their 20s and 30s, I said things like, "I'll have kids if I marry a guy who I know will be a great dad, and who really wants to have kids," but I wasn't obsessed with being a mother at all. I wasn't even comfortable around children, and didn't think they liked me very much. In fact, before I had Jayda, I'd never changed a diaper, and could count on the fingers of one hand how many babies I'd actually held. And yet, as soon as the nurses put my newborn child on my chest, I knew I was put in this world to be Jayda's mom and care for her.
There was a point in my… Continue reading
Chanukah and Our Little Miracles
Last year I lit the candles before dinner, and she would sit at the table, look over to the menorah, and sign out "ohhhhh". She thought it was pretty. This year, at 2.5, she selects the candles each night. And while I have tried to get her to help me light the candles, she gets a little frightened when the time comes, maybe because I am trying to tell her to hold the shamos candle at the bottom, not the top. But she is fascinated watching the flames, and watching the candles melt. The first night we waited till all the candles were out to go up to bed, but last night she needed a bath. And one of the first things she said after we came downstairs this morning was "the candles melted, they're all gone". This is the first year I've done presents each night, and she is… Continue reading
Unsure, Unsettled, Undecided
From Unsure, Unsettled, Undecided:
The pendulum of my SMC decision-making has most recently swung toward NO WAY!! How could anyone ever do this? How could I ever do this? NO, NO, NO!!! I had been more positive about choosing to be an SMC, but I haven't been able to shake this place I am now in. I could use some feedback about the different stages you have gone through as well as some of your thoughts and feelings about how one can do something seemingly so emotionally, physically, and financially difficult as having and raising a child alone. At the moment, only the model of two parents together works for me, no matter how I turn it around. I would like to get back to a more open place about it.
Dear Unsure:
First of all, you don't have to do this and that's okay. Second of all, why
I was recently approached about submitting an essay on single motherhood to a magazine. I sent the editor a précis of my motherhood to date: began trying to conceive when I was 36, unexpectedly conceived identical twins, babies contracted twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome in utero. Had experimental surgery. Babies survived. Had tons of help from friends, sister, and Mom. Moved half a country away when my daughters were four. They're now eleven .
The editor asked some follow-up questions. Could I talk more about my support network? In what ways is it harder to build one versus having a built-in one, i.e., a partner? What do I do when I want to brag to someone about something "awesome" my kids have done? And whom do I talk to when I want to tear my hair out?
I thought about this for a while before I responded. The editor seemed genuinely perplexed.… Continue reading
