Joel Meyerowitz on Photographing Ground Zero
Tuesday, September 06, 2011
Photographer Joel Meyerowitz discusses the 10th anniversary edition/re-release of Aftermath, his book of photographs he took that record the recovery efforts at Ground Zero. He was the only professional photographer granted entry to the site. A number of his photographs will be displayed in the 9/11 Memorial Museum.
Guests:Joel Meyerowitz
Comments [4]
To Paul: I have heard Joel speak about his Ground Zero project many times and the story is always the same. Yes, in the beginning he did "sneak" his way in each day (as much as one can "sneak" by with an 8x10 view camera on a huge tripod) while trying to go through the proper channels to gain access - not because he wanted to profit but because he felt it was a huge mistake to not document the worst attack on american soil ever. Imagine no photographs taken at Pearl Harbor. Also, the expense to produce this archive of over 8,000 images came out of his own pocket (not to mention lost income from putting his other art projects on hold), and those costs and lost income dwarf what little money has come his way from the sale of any prints. In terms of the archive itself, he speaks about donating it to a museum to be available to the general public for generations to come.
You can always convert color to B&W, but not so easy the other way. I can't imagine the dust problems with a view camera.
Joel Meyerowitz claims to be "the only professional photographer granted access" He has never addressed exactly who granted him access. Most first responders, myself included, believe he signed in as a volunteer, or perhaps as a contractor. Then took photos and profitted from them, instead of doing the job he was granted access for.
Amazed to hear Joel's reference about "Millet Painting ,The Gleaners" and ground zero!
It is what I saw too and have here

Wine, chocolate pairings on tap
Vermont winemakers are hosting a statewide Wine and Chocolate Weekend on Saturday and Sunday to celebrate Valentines Day.
Fourteen wineries around Vermont have paired at least one of their wines with a local chocolate confection or other Vermont dessert product. The participating wineries will be open from noon to 5 p.m. during the Wine and Chocolate Weekend. Wine and chocolate tastings are free.
The wineries include Fresh Tracks Farm Vineyard and Winery in Berlin, Grand View Winery in Waterbury Center, North Branch Vineyards in Montpelier, Caledonia Spirits & Winery in Hardwick, Artesano Mead in Groton and Boyden Valley Winery in Cambridge. For a complete list, visit www.vermontgrapeandwinecouncil.com.
Many of the wineries have partnered with Vermont chocolate makers.
The full range of Vermont wines will be on display during the Wine and Chocolate Weekend, including honey mead, ice cider and grape wines made from varieties like Marquette, La Crescent and Louise.
Some of the sweets are homemade, and some were made by chocolate makers specifically for the wine pairing. Spicy chocolate popcorn will be featured with one of Huntington River Vineyards red wines. This year, visitors will find many different approaches to pairing wine with treats, from sweet to spicy.
Champlain Orchards in Shoreham is serving its own apple pie with its ice cider, an apple-upon-apple dessert special.

They were being held on suspicion of conspiracy to murder
In a major breakthrough, three persons — including a woman — have been arrested in connection with the stabbing of Lt. Gen. (retired) K.S. Brar in Central London on Sunday.
Police did not disclose their names or ethnicity.
A spokesman said the men were in their 30s and the woman was 40. They were being held on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
In a statement, Scotland Yard said: "One man aged 33 and the woman aged 40 were arrested at a residential address in Wolverhampton. Another man in his 30s was arrested after his car was stopped on a street in West Bromwich. All three are being taken to a central London police station where they will be interviewed by detectives. Inquiries are ongoing and police continue to appeal for information into the incident."
General Brar suffered injuries on his face and the neck when he was attacked by four men when he and his wife were returning to their hotel near Oxford Street after dinner. He described it as a "pure assassination attempt" by Khalistani sympathisers for his role in the controversial Operation Blue Star in 1984 to flush out militants from the Golden Temple Complex.

File Release Notes and Changelog
Release Name: 0.5.0
Release Notes
Open-MX 0.5.0 (April 30th 2008, svn r1609) ========================================== The I/O AT and Full-MX-API release. !! The ABI of the Open-MX library has changed, !! all existing softwares using Open-MX must be rebuilt. Major enhancements: * The whole MX API is now supported thanks to the addition of omx_set_error_handler(). * Add DMA engine support to offload memory copies on the receive side on I/O AT hardware when available. Disabled by default, to be enabled with the dmaengine module parameter. See the README for details. Other improvements from previous release: * Fix completion of medium message send in case of a very short last fragment. * Fix possible message corruption with very large messages with highly out-of-order messages. * Fix support for very large messages, up-to 4GB-1 (32bits length). * Fix reporting of connection errors to the application. * Fix a possible wrongly-early completion of large send in case of duplicate notify message being receive. * Improve management of queued requests a bit in case of resource shortage. * Merge status and return codes into a single type and add many new values for more descriptive error codes (ABI break). * Rework and uniformize the management of attached interfaces through the module parameter and sysfs file. * Cleanup the build system and its messages. * Many minor fixes, tiny optimizations, and documentation improvements all over the place. Caveats: * Queueing of requests in case of resource shortage is not perfect yet, some requests may not be processed in order. * No dynamic peer discovery, omx_init_peers should be invoked manually to setup a static peer table. * No background progression or retransmission is done if the application does not invoke an Open-MX routine explicitly.

Dental Insurance is a wonderful thing. Knowing you are covered when it comes to Dental Health gives you peace of mind and keeps you covered in case of an emergency. But having insurance does not mean you can slack off when it comes to taking care of your teeth and gums. Below are a few common sense tips that will help keep you in good dental health!
See your dentist twice a year. Seeing your dentist twice a year (up to four times a year if you are diagnosed with gum disease) can save you money, time and the potential for discomfort. The enamel of our teeth is the hardest substance in the human body. This is a mixed blessing, because most cavities are painless and we are often unaware of a problem until it is too late. A small cavity that progresses to the nerve and starts to cause pain will often require a root canal, post and crown. The cost of theses procedures is about 8-10 times the cost of a filling. Visiting a dentist twice a year will help make sure everything in your mouth is healthy and you have no dental trouble on the horizon.
Brush and floss at least three times a day. This is something dentists call home care. The work you do at home can greatly reduce the amount of treatment (and expense) you will require from your dentist. Although it seems excessive, most dentists suggest you brush at least three times a day, after eating and before bed. Brush for about 2-3 minutes, using the techniques your dental hygienist has recommended (if you are not sure about the best way to brush, just ask at your next visit). They also suggest you floss once a day, before you brush. For those who are especially cavity prone, use a fluoride containing mouthwash in addition to the fluoridated toothpaste that everyone should use.
Buy dental insurance. Do you have dental insurance? Having dental insurance will reduce out-of-pocket expenses. Contact Blue Star Benefits for a free quote on dental insurance for you and your family. When it comes to your families dental health, preventative care will help keep you safe and save you money on your bi-annual visits – but in the case of an emergency, dental insurance can literally save you thousands!
Ask for alternative treatment plans. There are often several different ways to treat a dental condition. Each option has both advantages and disadvantages and different costs. The replacement of a missing tooth is a good example. Permanent tooth replacement with fixed bridge or implant will cost substantially more than a removable partial denture. Always ask your dentist to explain all treatment decisions and their costs ahead of time so you can make an informed decision.
Get a second opinion. Different dentists charge different fees and have different philosophies of treatment. Some dentists believe that they should present the "most ideal treatment" to every patient, even though what is ideal for one patient may not be for someone else. That is why it is important for dentists to present all treatment options, including the risks, benefits and costs of each option. If your dentist is reluctant to provide treatment alternatives, consider getting a second opinion. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide what treatment you want and what you can afford.

How to Make a Mini Floral Sketch Canvas
By: Tiffany Windsor
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Floral craft ideas aren't just meant for spring and summer. Learn how to make a Mini Floral Sketch Canvas from Tiffany Windsor and add a hint of whimsy and fun to your home decor. This piece might be small, but the explosion of color makes a huge impression.
Begin by painting the canvas. If you want to create a less bold look, paint the canvas and then wipe away the paint with a wet paper towel. Continue the process until you've reached the desired effect of your camera. Adhere paper flowers to the front of the canvas using Aleene's Tacky Glue. Use a pen to decorate the canvas - trace around the flower, add leave and stems and sketch other fun details. You can then place the canvas on the wall or a stand.

Status of Peralta Community College Tennis?
Peralta Colleges is comprised of Alameda Jr. College, Berkeley City Jr College (formely known as Vista College), Merritt Jr. College and Laney Jr. College of Oakland. I've searched their websites and cannot find if any of these Colleges have tennis teams. Went by the Alameda Jr. College courts the other day only to find that the gates were locked and grass growing in between the cracked surfaces. Laney has a nice facility and was host to some Norcal Jr. USTA events, but does the campus have an active tennis program? Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.
I am one of the tennis caoches at Chabot in Hayward. None of the schools you mention ahve a tennis program for either men or women. The closest to those schools would be Chabot or DVC or Ohlone in Fremont.

WAITSFIELD, Vermont — A Vermont bank has been robbed twice in one week.
Police say a man showed a gun and demanded money at the Northfield Savings Bank in Waitsfield on Tuesday afternoon. He's described as white with a scruffy beard and a medium build. He was wearing a winter hat and tan jacket. Police believe he left in a tan Toyota Corolla, possibly with another person.
The bank also was robbed on April 28. It is unknown if the two robberies are related.

thats a fight that i would love to see forget about jardine for now
In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell stated that his next opponent is likely Mauricio "Shogun" Rua.
SI.com: Just trying to throw you off your game. So what's next for you? Have you been told your next opponent?
Liddell: Possibly Mauricio "Shogun" Hua. That's what they're saying. If it's the June fight, it will probably be in London. But my trainer is trying to get it moved to Vegas. Too far. (Liddell is based in San Luis Obispo, Calif.)
thats a fight that i would love to see forget about jardine for now
yay, i can't wait to see this one.
agreed. jardin needs to fight rashad evans. i would love to see rua vs lidell.
looks like its a done deal
Today, Tatame.com caught up with the Brazilian who confirmed that the fight was indeed on and that he looks forward to avenging the loss of Wanderlei Silva (Liddell defeated Silva via unanimous decision at UFC 79: "Nemesis" in December 2007):
Here's the snip from Shogun (roughly translated):
"I confirmed that fight yesterday. Everything is agreed for June and I hope to make this a huge fight and represent my good team … For sure I'm going to avenge Wanderlei … he passed by Curitiba for a short time and then left to his city, but we got to get together and talk. We are going to make an exchange, but i don't know when thats going to happen. Everything depends on the strategy my team has for this fight…. [Chuck] has a very good boxing and wrestling team. Liddell's game is more standing, but it can be an error trying to take him down because it requires a lot of strength. I am going to try to improve my tactics with Alejo Morales, my brother and the rest of the team, but I can exchange with him and finish this fight standing."
Sick fight, although shogun is all around th much better fight he will have to be weary of liddells power…either way should be a grta fight
only a stupid person would bet on this fight… i think shogun will be motivated after his loss and coem back looking awesome and i think the motivated chuck that we saw in his last fight will show up too should be awesome but it all depends on which shogun and which lidell sho up come fight time
i feel shogun will win but you never know chucks got alot of power in those punches but either way it should be a good fight.
i dont think i've ever seen chuck in a ground fight and you know at some point this one is going to the ground. it should be good.
in a chuck lidell fight u never know if the fight is gunna go to the ground. chuck has arguably the best takedown defense in the game, and shogun isnt known for the best takedowns. im not saying it wont hit the ground but its definetly not a for sure thing
Chuck just has to watch out for them kicks!! Remember how Jardine swole Chuck's body up with em. If he is too tentative, Shogun could very well have the best of Chuck that night.
He as in Chuck, if Chuck is too tentative/cautious.
if chuck wins he is back and is the number one guy… silva vs jardine hahaha that would be tight…
If Chuck wins he is the number one contender no doubt about it…Chuck for sure has an unreal sprawling ability but if shogun can somhow take him down (set up with well timed kicks and good footwork) i think shogun can either submit him or win by ground and pound…Shogun can not get hit by the big punch that is his main concern…wqhen is this fight taking place, anyone know?

P&G Pet Care's Four-Legged V.P. Of Canine Communications, Euka, Will Retire After 56 Dog Years of Loyal Service
Iams and Eukanuba Call on Facebook Fans to Help Name Her Successor and Raise Money for America's VetDogs
Mason, OH (PRWEB) June 29, 2011
Procter & Gamble (P&G) Pet Care announced today that Euka, its V.P. of Canine Communications since 2003, will retire next spring after a good, long run of dedicated service. The 9-years-young Labrador, along with other members of her leadership team, conducted an extensive search for the best replacement and one dog stood out and met all of the specific job requirements. He's an energetic, 6-month old Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen (PBGV). For the next 10 months, Euka will be putting this little guy through his paces as he learns about his new responsibilities associated with serving as the ambassador for Iams and Eukanuba. Before all of that begins, this pup needs a name, so the leading pet food brands are turning to Facebook fans for help, and in return donating funds to an important cause.
Beginning today, visit either http://www.facebook.com/iams or http://www.facebook.com/eukanuba and suggest a name for this new 4-legged hire. Names will be accepted until July 7, 2011 at midnight EDT. A team of pet-naming aficionados at P&G Pet Care will choose the top five names and unleash a Facebook poll for voting July 11-18. The name that receives the most "Likes" during the polling period will win-out, with an announcement being posted on the Facebook pages July 19. For every name suggestion and resulting "Like" from June 29 through July 18, P&G Pet Care will donate $1 (up to $10,000) to America's VetDogs.
"Euka has touched the lives of so many during her tenure with us, and we'll really miss her after she retires next April," said Vicki Seiler, external relations associate, P&G Pet Care. "But she's going to take the training of this young PBGV seriously, and she definitely has a lot to teach him before he flies solo in his new role: making appearances around the globe, earning his champion title and becoming certified as a Canine Good Citizen and Therapy dog"¦and that's just year one."
If there's a dog that deserves some R&R after years of dedication and hard work, it's Euka. Since joining the team in the summer of 2003, she's been the official greeter of office visitors, represented Iams and Eukanuba at corporate events and industry activities, supervised numerous shelter make-overs and visited school children to help educate them about the importance of animals and how best to take care of them. In 2004, her celebrity really took off when she became a national "cover dog" by appearing on Fortune Magazine with P&G CEO at the time, A.G. Lafley.
Euka's training program for her replacement has begun and everyone is anxious to start calling this new employee by a permanent name. Seiler continued, "We've had this puppy for a couple weeks now and have had a lot of fun getting to know him, but when we started talking about what to call him, we said: "ËœWho better to name our newest vice president than our Iams and Eukanuba Facebook friends?' We'll be posting photos and videos so everyone can get to know him a little before sharing their suggestions, but when they see him, we're sure they'll fall in love with his face too like we all did."
Visit http://www.facebook.com/iams or http://www.facebook.com/eukanuba to suggest a name for P&G Pet Care's new V.P. of Canine Communications and help raise money for a good pet cause.

3,541The non-GAAP measures of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per share presented in the reconciliation above are defined to exclude the non-cash impact of amortization of intangible assets, net of tax. The tax effect is calculated using the average corporate rate for that period multiplied by the amortization. We believe that excluding these acquisition related expenses provides the ability to understand the benefits of acquisitions based on their cash return.
We provide non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income per share amounts in order to provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance. Our management uses non-GAAP measures to evaluate the performance of our business and to compensate employees. This information facilitates management's internal comparisons to our historical operating results as well as to the operating results of our competitors. Since management finds this measure to be useful, we believe that our investors can benefit by evaluating both non-GAAP and GAAP results.
Our management recognizes that items such as amortization of intangible assets can have a material impact on our net income. To gain a complete picture of all effects on our profit and loss from any and all events, management does (and investors should) rely upon the GAAP statements of income. The non-GAAP numbers focus instead upon our core operating business.
Readers are reminded that non-GAAP measures are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, or superior to financial measures prepared according to GAAP. They should be evaluated in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP

Any comments?
I owned a couple of Lightnings. They are only good for relatively flat conditions and will pound in any kind of sea. If you want to "daysail" in any sort of waves, they would not be a good choice. A Lightning has almost a flat bottom and a hard chine. What you need for a more comfortable ride is a boat with a rounder chine and deeper bottom. ODay makes some nice little boats that might fit the bill. The Star is a great sailboat but is getting into the purely-for-racing category. It would be more difficult to trailer and is also not meant to be in any kind of sea conditions.

|Not-for-profit organization
|Care system
|July 1, 1997
Novant Health is a not-for-profit, integrated healthcare system based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, serving communities in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia. It was formed July 1, 1997 by the merger of Carolina Medicorp of Winston-Salem, North Carolina and Presbyterian Health Services of Charlotte, North Carolina. The system has 15 medical centers, seven philanthropic foundations, and more than 340 clinics, outpatient surgery, imaging and diagnostic centers, rehabilitation programs and community health outreach programs. It employs more than 26,000 people and has more than 1,100 physicians in its medical group.[1]
Novant Health's new system-wide brand launched April 17, 2013. The new logo, mostly using the color aubergine, is the letter N followed by what appears to be a colon, but which also reveals a hidden H when seen with the words "Novant Health" on the right; these are in gray and stacked in all capitals on the right. The color aubergine represented "excellence" and "warmth".[2]

Weapon swap
From Guild Wars 2 Wiki
Weapon swap is the mechanic of switching between the two equipped weapon sets (default key: ~). This ability is unlocked when your character reaches level 15 for all professions except engineers or elementalists, who use a similar mechanic.
- During combat, swapping has a cooldown of 10 seconds, but you can swap repeatedly out of combat.
- There are several traits and sigils effects that trigger on swapping.
- If you choose to leave either the main hand or offhand weapon slot empty in one of the sets, the game will not swap the empty slot, and instead automatically use the weapon in that slot from the first set when you switch to the second.
- Engineers can trigger on-swap effects by changing kits; elementalists do so by switching between attunements.
- Switching to an environmental weapon will also trigger on-swap effects.
Related traits[edit]
- Versatile Rage (gain 5 strikes of adrenaline)
- Fast Hands (cooldown reduced by 5 seconds)
- Versatile Power (gain might for 10 seconds)
- Tail Wind (gain swiftness)
- Furious Grip (gain fury)
- Quick Pockets (gain 3 initiative)
Related equipment[edit]
- Superior Rune of the Warrior (rank 6 – weapon-swap cooldown reduced by 20%)
- Sigil of Battle (gain [2, 3] stacks of might for 20 seconds)
- Superior Sigil of Doom (next attack poisons)
- Superior Sigil of Energy (gain 50% endurance)
- Superior Sigil of Geomancy (bleeds nearby foes for 10 seconds)
- Superior Sigil of Hydromancy (freeze nearby foes for 2 seconds)
- Superior Sigil of Intelligence (next 3 attacks have a 100% critical hit chance)
- Superior Sigil of Leeching (next attack steals health)
- Rearranging or equipping a different set of weapons is not the same as swapping. This can be done outside of combat, but never during combat. It never triggers on-swap effects.

Could Game 1 of the World Series have been any more unwatchable? If it wasn't for my good friend Stella Artois and the hope provided by the good people at Taco Bell, I wouldn't have made it past the first inning.
3 straight Rockies' strike outs followed by a 3-run Red Sox first wasn't the kind of opening that anyone outside of the Red Sox fan base was looking for; although Red Sox fans might have been looking for 7 or 8 runs as they have become quite accustomed to blow-outs. It would have been naive, even though it was correct, to say the game was over after the first inning. However, if you knew your 2007 Red Sox, you would have known that game 1 was over long before the third run touched home plate in the first.
That's right, the game was over when the 24 year old Red Sox second baseman, with the receding hairline and bald spot of a man twice his age, sent a Jeff Francis offering onto the lip of the green monster* for a lead-off home run.
That sounds cocky doesn't it? A Dustin Pedroia lead-off home run isn't enough to call the game for the Red Sox. Or is it?
What may have seemed like a harmless 1-0 need for the Red Sox was actually the kiss of death for the Rockies.
Little Dusty Pedroia had 8 home runs during the regular season this year and now has 2 during the playoffs. In the 10 games that the 5′ 8″ 180 lbs. second baseman homered in, the Red Sox outscored their opponents by a score of 97 to 38. That's the kind of run differential that the Arizona Diamondbacks would have killed for.
So not only did the Red Sox outscore their opponents by an average of almost 6 runs in the games this year that Dustin Pedroia homered in, but the Red Sox have never lost any of those games neither. Never.
10-0. It's simple math: 2007 Red Sox game + Dustin Pedroia home run = Red Sox victory. As a theorem, it has been proven correct 10 out of 10 times. There does not currently exist any data that can prove this theorem to be incorrect. It's flawless in its perfection.├āŲÆ├óŌé¼┼Ī├āŌĆÜ├é┬Ā├āŲÆ├óŌé¼┼Ī├āŌĆÜ├é┬Ā Nevermind that last season the Red Sox were 0-2 when Pedroia homered.├āŲÆ├óŌé¼┼Ī├āŌĆÜ├é┬Ā That was then.├āŲÆ├óŌé¼┼Ī├āŌĆÜ├é┬Ā This is now.
The Rockies should be advised to take note of this phenomenon and avoid serving up another home run ball to Dustin Pedroia at all costs.
* Can anyone explain why that lip is there atop the green monster? It seems like it does much more harm than it does good.
photo: ekilby
The lip marks the spot where it would've been a homer back before they had the Monster seats, or better said, the border between your beers being in fair play or not. Often confusing because a pesky, albeit brave fan will sometimes stick their paw over the lip and touch a ball, then pretending it was a home run. Only the savviest of umpires, or Manny, will know when it's really over the wall or just a long single.
