I've been toying around with timelapse photography for a little while now and, I've got to tell you, there's a lot to learn. This is the first of three tutorials I'll be doing on timelapse photography. They'll be a holistic compendium of all slow things sped up. This one will cover the absolute basics, from the gear you need, to how you use it, to what to do with the images you get. So open up ebay in another tab and get your credit card because you're going to need to buy some stuff.
The Gear
Firstly here's a list of stuff you absolutely need to do timelapse photography.
- A camera that has a remote shutter port OR an in-built timelapse function,
- An intervalometer (if your camera doesn't have an inbuilt timelapse function),
- A tripod, and
- A neutral density filter (for daytime photography).
Choosing the scene
This is the most important part. Before you think about whipping your camera out you need to pick what you will be shooting. This is more challenging than still photography because the scene will change over time. Light and shadows will move, some plants will follow the sun, water will ebb and flow and branches will be affected by the wind. You need to have an idea about what effect all of this will have on your shot beforehand because once you start shooting you can't change anything. I suggest that you spend some time on location without your camera first to get an idea of how it changes with time. The time of day you are shooting is also important. Sunrises and sunsets are particularly tricky for beginners because of the sheer amount the light changes. I'll get into how you allow for this later.
Once you've got all that in mind it's time to get your gear off. Or out rather. Keep your gear on or you're likely to get arrested.
The ND filter
A short note on the neutral density filter. If you're doing timelapse by day you will need one. An ND filter is basically just a piece of tinted glass. All it does is reduce the amount of light coming in through the lens. This is important for timelapse photography as you need to use a long shutter speed to create the illusion of fluid movement. Anything that is moving in a frame should be blurred. This will create a smoother video. If you use a short shutter speed your video will appear to flicker. This has something to do with a phenomenon known as the flicker fusion threshold. Blurring movement between frames reduces the amplitude of the modulation which we see as continuous movement. If you don't believe me, go and rent an action movie and pause during a scene with fast movement. The individual frame will be blurred but when you see it as video it appears sharp.
The shortest shutter speed I use is 1/2 a second.
The set up
Get your camera on your tripod, sit it down and then frame your shot. It's a real pain in the arse moving your tripod around on uneven ground trying to get the scene just right, but the camera is going to be in the same place for hours. Sitting it on a rock is rarely a sensible option. Any movement at all will ruin your video so make sure your tripod head is tight and rigid. After you've framed your shot set the focus to manual. This is very important, if you leave it on auto the focus will change between exposures.
Next you need to connect your intervalometer. This should connect to a port somewhere in the side of your camera. Canon use a three pin connector like this. When you have your intervalometer connected you need to test how fast your camera can take pictures. If you take images too fast your buffer will fill up and your video will not be recorded with a consistent frame rate which will result in stuttering. Alternatively, read your manual and see if you can find any information about the maximum sustained burst speed. I generally don't shoot any faster than one frame every ten seconds.
Take a few test shots to check your exposure. Remember to think of the light when you are doing this. If you expect the scene to brighten then start by underexposing by one or two stops. If you expect it to become darker then you should overexpose by one or two stops. Now you should have all the information you need regarding shutter speed and interval to program your intervalometer. The only thing you need to figure out now is how much footage you want.
I always shoot in RAW. Yes, the files are huge and yes shooting RAW will have a slower burst speed than jpeg but RAW has the greatest dynamic range. As the light will be changing over the course of the video you will need uncompressed imaged so that you can correct dark shadows and blown out highlights later. Make sure you have the biggest memory card you can find. One that can record about a thousand RAW files.
Frame rate
Video has a few different standards for frame rate. The most common ones are 24 frames per second for cinema, 25 frames per second for European, Oceanic and most Asian television (PAL) and 29.97 frames per second for American, Canadian and Japanese television (NTSC). Which standard you use is not all that important unless you expect your work to be broadcast on television. I generally use the 29.97 frames per second.
To work out how long you need to record for you need to take your framerate (lets say 30fps to make the maths easier), multiply it by the length of the video you want to create (lets say 20 seconds) and multiply it by your interval (one shot every 10 seconds).
30 x 20 x 10 = 6000 seconds.
Divide by 60 to convert seconds to minutes an we are now left with a figure of 100 minutes to record 20 seconds of footage at 30fps. Set your intervalometer to take a photo once every ten seconds for 100 minutes and then tape it to the leg of your tripod. This will stop it blowing around in the wind and shaking your camera. After you've secured it press start and walk away.
Post processing
For the processing you will need a few different programs. First you will need something that can batch edit your stills. Any adjustments you make to one image need to be made to all of the others. Consistency is key here. I use Lightroom and its 'sync' feature to quickly apply changes to all of my photos. Correct the shadows in the dark files and apply that correction to all the images, then correct the highlights in the bright images and apply that to all of the images as well. Then go and adjust for colour and contrast.
Next you need to crop and resize your images. HD video is generally 16:9 in aspect with a resolution of 1280×720 for 720p, or 1920×1080 for 1080p and 1080i. Export your images as high quality jpegs or tiff files, depending on what your video software supports.
Next you need something to turn your images into a video. There are a few video editors out there. I use Adobe Premiere, but if you can't afford that I recommend Lightworks. Create a new project and make sure your resolution and frame rate are set. Import your still files as an image sequence (see here for adobe premiere and here for Lightworks). Now all you need to do is encode and export.
After that you should end up with something like this:
In Part 2 I'll be going into shooting sunrises and sunsets, night time timelapses and creating a horizontal or vertical pan with software.

My interests fall across a pretty wide spectrum. I exercise daily and like most anything active. I enjoy spending time with my friends and value the time with my family. I have a fulfilling marketing career in the Internet industry. My personality tends to reflect where I'm at in life. I'm dedicated to work, laughing/joking (I'm most comfortable with a smile on my face) around friends and family, caring/protective for those close to me, competitive to challenges faced, romantic when I care for someone, and wild/outgoing in other instances. I value other people's thoughts, and work hard to listen and understand someone's point of view before voicing my own. I'm giving, but not one to be taken advantage. I believe in treating people the way I would want to be treated. What I find attractive about a woman is her ability to take care of herself while keeping a sense of humor and not stressing about the little things in life. Someone who is comfortable lounging around in jeans, and in a spur of the moment, get dressed up to go out on the town. Someone who will find the same subtle things funny such as I. Someone who finds self-worth in helping others. Someone who can be wild and outgoing ... while at other times, calm and laid-back. In the end, I think it comes down to a lot of intangibles ... sometimes you just never know who you will be attracted to .....

Forget for the moment about the tugging between Russia and Europe over the fate of the Ukraine, where months of street protests continue despite major concessions by the government. The immediate issue is the future of Ukrainian democracy and the continued misrule of President Viktor Yanukovych, who has repeatedly demonstrated that he is a self-serving autocrat. The hoped-for outcome is that he will follow the nation's prime minister out of office, and soon.
Mr. Yanukovych triggered the protests last November when he withdrew from a trade agreement with the European Union and accepted a large loan from Russia's President Vladimir Putin, sweetened with lower energy prices for the Ukraine, which is dependent on Russian oil and gas.
Mr. Yanukovych's unexpected decision set off alarms among Ukrainians already concerned about his Putin-like high-handed political tactics - such as jailing opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko on trumped-up charges - and the rapid enrichment of his family members through rampant corruption. Those trends cast a big shadow over the legitimacy of the presidential elections scheduled for February 2015.
That, in turn, poses a threat of international isolation for the Ukraine by Europe and the United States, damaging important economic ties.
The alarms are reportedly shared by the Ukraine's wealthiest individuals, "oligarchs" on the Russian model who profited enormously from the privatization of government enterprises after the fall of communism. They are reportedly worried that the Yanukovych faction is trying to neutralize them.
The richest of the oligarchs, Rinat Akhmetov, who recently paid a record $225 million for a London apartment, recently issued a statement calling for a peaceful resolution of the crisis, reports the Guardian newspaper.
This is generally viewed as a signal that Mr. Yanukovych's support among that key group is slipping.
In an effort to remain in power, Mr. Yanukovych has made major concessions to the opposition including the repeal of laws against demonstrations that he earlier rammed through parliament.
But the Ukraine's president faces a trap of his own making. His abuse of the law in persecuting his former rival Tymoshenko and the corruption of his rule lay him open to prosecution and ruin if his opponents achieve power. So he has a strong personal incentive to hang on to office.
Russia's President Putin has a stake in Mr. Yanukovych's survival as well. He recently warned the European Union to stop meddling in Ukrainian politics after the EU sent a mediator to Kiev to try to settle the dispute.
Better that Mr. Putin butt out.
The Ukraine is a European nation - actually the largest - and it naturally looks to the West for greater freedom and more prosperity.
That's why the demonstrations continue in Kiev and elsewhere. Ukranian national reconciliation will begin only with the departure of Mr. Yanukovych.

i find it very odd you poo-poo what wilhelm says for rc prints, but you hold in high regard what he says for ink prints.
all sorts of claims were made just a few years ago about archival ink/pigment sets, and they were all wrong. i have no confidence in what the institute has to say.
its just said to sell media, nothing else, and to appease an industry in its infancy since the traditional industry was nearly dismantled.
if i want to call them hand painted photographs,
or bleached and tinted cyanotypes or hybrid prints
i can do that. i can and also call them photographs ...
so if you weren't talking about a photograph not being a painting from an artistic perspective
what were you talking about ? there is a whole history of photography + drawing + painting + engraving being in bed with eachother
are you suggesting these types of photographs have no "history" in photography ?
a literalist is the last thing i would ever want to be ...

WASHINGTON - We've become weather wimps.
By the numbers: Lowcountry cold
17 degrees - Tuesday morning, official coldest temperature of the snap. It broke the record for the date, which had been 22, in 1959.
1-9 degrees - Coldest reported wind chills in Charleston area on Tuesday.
13 degrees - Coldest reported lower state temperature on Tuesday, in Allendale.
6 degrees - Coldest official temperature on record at National Weather Service, Charleston. Jan. 21, 1985.
36-40* - Consecutive hours of temperatures below freezing (The temperature gauge briefly recorded a 33 in that span at the National Weather Service, Charleston office).
Upper 60s - Friday high temperatures forecast.
Lower 70s - Saturday high temperatures forecast.
Quote: "The magnitude of the (temperature) turn-around is unusual, but it's certainly not unprecedented. The warm air is never far away here." - Meteorologist Steve Rowley, NWS Charleston.
Source: NWS Charleston
As the world warms, the United States is getting fewer bitter cold spells like the one that gripped much of the nation this week. So when a deep freeze strikes, scientists say, it seems more unprecedented than it really is. An Associated Press analysis of the daily national winter temperature shows that cold extremes have happened about once every four years since 1900.
Until recently.
When computer models estimated that the national average daily temperature for the Lower 48 states dropped to 17.9 degrees on Monday, it was the first deep freeze of that magnitude in 17 years, according to Greg Carbin, warning meteorologist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
That is by far the longest the U.S. has gone without the national average plunging below 18 degrees, according to a database of daytime winter temperatures spanning from Jan. 13, 1997, to Monday.
On that date in 1997, Charleston reported a low of 27 degrees. The coldest night in January that year was the 18th, with a low of 23 degrees, according to the National Weather Service, Charleston.
In the past 115 years, there have been 58 days when the national average temperature dropped below 18. Carbin said those occurrences often happen in periods that last several days so it makes more sense to talk about cold outbreaks instead of cold days, and there have been 27 distinct cold snaps.
Between 1970 and 1989, a dozen such events occurred, but there were only two in the 1990s and then none until Monday.
"These types of events have actually become more infrequent than they were in the past," said Carbin, who works at the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. "This is why there was such a big buzz because people have such short memories."
Said Jeff Masters, meteorology director of the private firm Weather Underground: "It's become a lot harder to get these extreme (cold) outbreaks in a planet that's warming."
And Monday's breathtaking chill? It was merely the 55th coldest day - averaged for the continental United States - since 1900.
The coldest day for the Lower 48 since 1900 - as calculated by the computer models - was 12 degrees on Christmas Eve 1983, nearly 6 degrees chillier than Monday.
The average daytime winter temperature is about 33 degrees, according to Carbin's database.
There have been far more unusually warm winter days in the U.S. than unusually cold ones.
Since Jan. 1, 2000, only two days have ranked in the top 100 coldest: Monday and Tuesday. But there have been 13 in the top 100 warmest winter days, including the warmest since 1900: Dec. 3, 2012. And that pattern is exactly what climate scientists have been saying for years, that the world will get more warm extremes and fewer cold extremes.
Nine of 11 outside climate scientists and meteorologists who reviewed the data for the AP said it showed that as the world warms from heat-trapping gas spewed by the burning of fossil fuels, winters are becoming milder. The world is getting more warm extremes and fewer cold extremes, they said.
"We expect to see a lengthening of time between cold air outbreaks due to a warming climate, but 17 years between outbreaks is probably partially due to an unusual amount of natural variability," or luck, Masters said in an email. "I expect we'll go far fewer than 17 years before seeing the next cold air outbreak of this intensity.
And the scientists dismiss global warming skeptics who claim one or two cold days somehow disproves climate change.
"When your hands are freezing off trying to scrape the ice off your car, it can be all too tempting to say, 'Where's global warming now? I could use a little of that!' But you know what? It's not as cold as it used to be anymore," Texas Tech University climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe said in an email.
The recent cold spell, which was triggered by a frigid air mass known as the polar vortex that wandered way south of normal, could also be related to a relatively new theory that may prove a weather wild card, said Rutgers University climate scientist Jennifer Francis. Her theory, which has divided mainstream climate scientists, says that melting Arctic sea ice is changing polar weather, moving the jet stream and causing "more weirdness."
Ryan Maue, a meteorologist with the private firm Weather Bell Analytics and a skeptic about man-made global warming, dismisses Francis' theory and said he has concerns about the accuracy of Carbin's database. Maue has his own daily U.S. average temperature showing that Monday was colder than Carbin's calculations.
Still, he acknowledged that cold nationwide temperatures "occurred with more regularity in the past."
Many climate scientists say Americans are weather weenies who forgot what a truly cold winter is like.
"I think that people's memory about climate is really terrible," Texas A&M University climate scientist Andrew Dessler wrote in an email. "So I think this cold event feels more extreme than it actually is because we're just not used to really cold winters anymore."

This article has been archived. It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated.
This article describes how you can enable debug logging for the SCSIPORT and SCSI miniport driver on Microsoft Windows XP, Microsoft Windows 2000 and Microsoft Windows NT.
More information
To enable debug logs you must have a kernel debugger connected to the target computer and the appropriate symbol files. Also, debug logging only works in a checked or debug build of the operating system. This method will not work on free or retail builds of the operating system.
Windows NT and Windows 2000On Windows 2000 and Windows NT, you can obtain verbose debug tracing from the SCSIPORT driver by setting the ScsiDebug global variable to 3 with a kernel debugger. For example:
Windows XPDebug printing on Windows XP has changed from previous versions. Drivers now use a new function named DbgPrintEx to print debug messages. The DbgPrintEx function either passes the specified string to the kernel debugger or does nothing at all, depending on the values of ComponentID, Level, and the corresponding component filter masks.
The mask for the SCSIPORT driver is Kd_ScsiPort_Mask, and the mask for the SCSI miniport driver is Kd_ScsiMiniport_Mask. To get the logs from SCSIPORT and SCSI miniport, follow these steps:
This table shows the bit, value and description of the four bits:
To obtain debug logs from multiple levels, set bit values for all the required levels. For example, to get logs for both the Error and Warning level, set bits 0 & 1 to 1. This results in setting the debug flag to 3.
Bit Value Description ------------------------------------------ 0 1 Error Level (Always printed) 1 2 Warning Level 2 4 Trace Level 3 8 Info Level
For more information about the DbgPrintEx API, refer to the Microsoft Windows XP Device Driver Kit (DDK) documentation.

ATLANTA Health officials said the death toll in a rare fungal meningitis outbreak across several states has risen to seven.
In updated figures posted to its website Saturday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the outbreak has spread to more than 60 people across nine states.
Minnesota and Ohio are the two latest states to report confirmed cases linked to a steroid produced by a specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts. The steroid has been recalled, and health officials have been scrambling to notify anyone who may have been injected with it.
The New England Compounding Center has said it is cooperating with health investigators to determine the source of the infections.

Originally written on Fox Sports West | Last updated 7/3/12
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Rookies Devin Mesoraco and Todd Frazier each drove in three runs and the short-handed Cincinnati Reds beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-2 Monday night. The Reds scored all of their runs after rookie shortstop Zack Cozart was hit in the helmet by a pitch from Chad Billingsley in the fifth inning. Cozart held his head with both hands while lying on his stomach for several anxious moments before walking off under his own power. Homer Bailey and the NL Central leaders sent the Dodgers to their 12th loss in 14 games. Cincinnati played with All-Star first baseman Joey Votto, who has inflammation in his left knee, and third baseman Scott Rolen, who was scratched after leaving Sunday's game at San Francisco because of back spasms.

The product is a Nike Hyperdunk. It fits like most Nike shoes & performs well. The only complaint I could share is it holds sweat a little more than other Nike bball shoes. I can't keep the stink out of my kids bball shoes after about a month of AAU practice & tourneys. Not sure why that is, but its bad-like dead people bad with in a few months! LOL! I did not have this problem with the Penny V or the Adidas Crazy Lights or Lebron Soilder V she has worn in the past.

This Tumblr Tuesday, we're exploring some of the best urban farming Tumblr blogs on the Web. The bloggers behind these sites demonsrate that farming isn't just for those who live in rural areas; community- and health-minded urbanites can also get in on the fun of food production.
1. Urban Food Production: This stellar Tumblr blog focuses on all aspects of urban farming, from hot news topics to essential documentaries and several ideas to start a garden in your own space. The photo below was captured by John Woods for The Globe and Mail in a piece on urban orchards:
2. Urbanity Sanity: This Tumblr blog also focuses on urban agriculture, especially as it relates to community prosperity. It features editorial commentary and the latest news regarding urban farming, with a heavy focus on the Washington, D.C. area.
3. This Big City: This Big City is the Tumblr offshoot of the award-winning site of the same name. It features all aspects of urban innovation, from transportation to infrastructure, with posts on water, food production and sustainability in top cities around the world.
4. The Urban Farm Sharer: This urban farming Tumblr blog features inventive recipes using the contents of the blogger's community-supported agriculture box. July's adventure, for example, was callaloo, a Carribean green also known as amaranth.
5. Urban Farming Blog: This blog focuses on Battery Park, the first urban farm in Manhattan, and the efforts of three bloggers to replant a garden there calld "The Garden of Eden." In addition to photos of the growing garden, the trio also posts informative articles on gardening topics such as companion planting and composting.

Expert advice on how to face up to the distributed energy threat
By: SGN Staff
Quick Take: One of the most difficult new realities is distributed energy -- this idea that customers will become producers as well and the utility will have to cope with thousands of small generation sources scattered all around the service territory.
To grapple with these new conditions, we've got to get past the banal generalities (something must be done!) and start talking specifics. That's why I was so pleased when Maryland and the Energy Future Coalition started scoping out the utility of the future.
And now I'm happy to tell you about a recent roundtable co-hosted by Princeton and Columbia Universities on the topic of Valuing Distributed Energy: Economic and Regulatory Challenges.
The group produced a summary white paper, which you can download by clicking the link above. It talks about the situation and the issues. More importantly, it talks about specific approaches to overcoming those challenges.
It's not always easy reading, but it is worth the effort. If you need any convincing, just glance at the list of Big Brains who were part of the roundtable. It's a who's who of our industry's top minds. Recommended reading. - By Jesse Berst

LONDON--In a deal that adds firepower to Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox in its multibillion-dollar quest for Time Warner Inc., British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC has made its move to build "Sky Europe."
The U.K.'s market-leading pay-television operator Friday said it agreed to acquire its sister companies in Germany and Italy from 21st Century Fox in a deal worth about $9.09 billion, the majority in cash, to create a pan-European pay-TV giant with around 20 million customers across Germany, Italy, Austria, the U.K. and Ireland.
For Mr. Murdoch, the deal provides a bulk of cash as 21st Century Fox weighs advancing its $80 billion takeover bid for rival media titan Time Warner, which rejected Fox's first overture. Fox said it expects net after-tax proceeds of $7.2 billion from the BSkyB transactions, which analysts have called crucial to making the math on a Time Warner deal work.
Fox also moved Friday to reassure skittish investors who have sent its shares down more than 6% since news of the Time Warner offer broke last week, saying it would renew its share-buyback plan next month. The new buyback authorization "will be executed regardless of any potential acquisition or investment activity by the company," Mr. Murdoch said in a release.
BSkyB said it would buy 21st Century Fox's 57.4% stake in Sky Deutschland AG for GBP2.9 billion ($4.9 billion) in cash, valuing the German business at EUR6.75 a share. BSkyB is also offering EUR6.75 a share to Sky Deutschland's remaining minority shareholders, intending to take full ownership of the company, but it will almost certainly need to offer more: Sky Deutschland shares were up 1.8% to EUR6.78 in morning Frankfurt trading, suggesting holders expect a higher price from BSkyB.
BSkyB also will acquire Fox's 100% stake in the Italian TV company Sky Italia for GBP2.45 billion ($4.2 billion), GBP2.09 billion of which will be in cash.
The deal, also to be funded through new shares and debt, is subject to regulatory and shareholder approval. While there are no clear regulatory hurdles, price may be an issue for shareholders on both sides. Fox is BSkyB's biggest shareholder, holding a 39.1% stake, and plans to invest $900 million to maintain its stake at that level. BSkyB's other shareholders will need to be convinced the stakes are adequately valued.
Shareholders seemed skeptical in early European trading. Besides the rise in Sky Deutschland shares, BSkyB shares were down 2.6% to 901 pence. Still, Numis Securities, in a note, said the combination has both financial and strategic rationale, with price and scale of synergies in line with expectations.
As part of the deal, BSkyB said it would transfer its 21% stake in the international National Geographic channels to Fox, at a value of GBP380 million. That would raise Fox's ownership stake in the cable and satellite channels to 73%.
21st Century Fox was until June 2013 part of the same company as News Corp, owner of The Wall Street Journal and Dow Jones Newswires.
BSkyB said the new entity would be the No. 1 pay-TV provider in three of the four largest markets in Europe, helping the operator battle earnings erosion after spending heavily on technology upgrades, programming and premium sports-TV rights. BSkyB has 11.5 million TV customers, Sky Deutschland 3.7 million and Sky Italia 4.8 million. In total, "Sky Europe" will offer 47.5 million product subscriptions, more than 34 million of which come from BSkyB.
BSkyB Chief Executive Jeremy Darroch said shareholders have "understood the logic" of the deal, which is expected to close later this year.
Mr. Darroch said the enlarged business would offer commercial opportunity, benefits of scale and significant cost savings. "There remains significant opportunity to take up additional products across all businesses."
BSkyB said it expects GBP200 million of annual cost savings by the end of the second financial year after the deal is completed, with additional savings after that.
"We think the businesses in Italy and Germany are very high-quality," he told reporters. "This is the right deal for Sky at this stage of our development."
Asked if the "Sky Europe" deal would bolster Mr. Murdoch's bid to acquire Time Warner, Mr. Darroch said, "You'll have to ask him that."

Q&A with legendary Wellsville softball & tennis coach Frank Cady
Frank Cady and softball are synonymous with each other.
Even though it's been a while since Cady served as a coach in an official capacity, he still makes his way to plenty of Wellsville sporting events and is dispensing his knowledge to the local athletes and coaches.
Cady led Wellsville softball to seven Section V titles in an eight-year span beginning in 1994, finishing his career with a record of 198-39. During his tenure, Wellsville had a 58-game winning streak, including 41 straight Expressway Conference victories.
Starting in 2006, the Big 30 Coach of the Year Award has been named after Cady. The softball player of the year in the Big 30 is given the Geraldine Lacney Award, the baseball coach of the year award is named after St. Bonaventure head coach Larry Sudbrook and the baseball player of the year award is named after Bill?Husband.
Of course, Cady is not only about softball. Cady also coached varsity girls' basketball in Wellsville from 1964-78, and started both the boys' and girls' tennis teams at Wellsville, coaching both from 1964-72.
We recently caught up with Cady and talked about having such a prestigious award named after him and he even did some reminiscing about his decades as a coach.
1. What was it like when you found out the Big 30 Coach of the Year Award would be named after you?
Of all the coaches in the Big 30 area, for them to select me to name the plaque after is a really big honor. Jim Melaro called me up and said, 'Frank we're giving away a new award this year to the coach of the year and we've selected you as the softball coach.' I almost fell off my chair.
2. What are some of your favorite memories from your coaching career?
I could go on all day with favorite memories. Of course, our 58-game winning streak comes to mind. Also, in the Expressway Conference we had a 41-game winning streak. Win streaks are nice to look at and nice to see, but most of all I remember the camaraderie and all the good things that go along with a successful program. Just to be a part of it is quite a privilege.
3. What are some of the differences in high school softball now compared to when you were a coach?
I don't think the game of softball has changed much from what it was when I was coaching. The successful teams still play small ball, use the bunt and steal and run a lot. Teams today rely on top-notch pitching. That's one big change because everybody has a top-notch pitcher. I think more kids go to camps these days and more coaches spend all year round practicing and developing their players.
Page 2 of 2 - 4. What have you been up to in retirement?
I'm still hanging around (Wellsville). We go to Florida, too. I work a lot with the tennis teams (in Wellsville). I didn't this year, but in past years I've worked some with the softball program. It's nice to be that old advisor, but I can still hit infield. But coaching full-time … I've had my day.
5. You were instrumental in finally getting Section V to send its softball teams to the state tournament. Talk about how that came together.
We were kept out of that state tournament, Section V didn't send its teams. I spent a lot of time fighting for them to send the teams to the state tournament with Mike Wright, the softball chairman at the time. We would go to the games up there, John Baldwin, my assistant, and I would go up there with pamphlets and circulate the pamphlets to the parents and fans of the other teams to get in touch with their Section V officials to see what could be done. Section V wasn't too happy with us. They would say, 'Oh, there's Cady complaining again.' The main reason was the educators felt it would interfere with final exams and Regents exams. It really took Mike Wright to push it. He was coaching a long time at Campbell-Savona (currently working at Canisteo-Greenwood). They finally changed it in 1997, and we went to the state semifinals once and got beat in the state semifinals. In the first part of the streak that's all we had to shoot for was a sectional title, which is nice but we watched all these other teams in Section V play in the state tournament. Naturally, we wanted that chance.
6. How would you explain your coaching philosophy?
I played fast pitch softball for 52 years with Texas Hot with Bill Simons. That's where I learned my softball. He relied on the short game. None of the teams were playing our style of softball, but it didn't take long for them to change and play our brand of softball. We also held summer camps and took trips to Disney World. We played the small ball, bunting type of game and it wasn't long before all the teams were playing that game. I had Stan Harris (long-time Bolivar-Richburg head softball coach), came up to me and said, 'You taught us well, Frank.'

The Rise of Disaster Capitalism
Last summer, in the lull of the August media doze, the Bush Administration's doctrine of preventive war took a major leap forward. On August 5, 2004, the White House created the Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization, headed by former US Ambassador to Ukraine Carlos Pascual. Its mandate is to draw up elaborate "post-conflict" plans for up to twenty-five countries that are not, as of yet, in conflict. According to Pascual, it will also be able to coordinate three full-scale reconstruction operations in different countries "at the same time," each lasting "five to seven years."
Fittingly, a government devoted to perpetual pre-emptive deconstruction now has a standing office of perpetual pre-emptive reconstruction.
Gone are the days of waiting for wars to break out and then drawing up ad hoc plans to pick up the pieces. In close cooperation with the National Intelligence Council, Pascual's office keeps "high risk" countries on a "watch list" and assembles rapid-response teams ready to engage in prewar planning and to "mobilize and deploy quickly" after a conflict has gone down. The teams are made up of private companies, nongovernmental organizations and members of think tanks--some, Pascual told an audience at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in October, will have "pre-completed" contracts to rebuild countries that are not yet broken. Doing this paperwork in advance could "cut off three to six months in your response time."
The plans Pascual's teams have been drawing up in his little-known office in the State Department are about changing "the very social fabric of a nation," he told CSIS. The office's mandate is not to rebuild any old states, you see, but to create "democratic and market-oriented" ones. So, for instance (and he was just pulling this example out of his hat, no doubt), his fast-acting reconstructors might help sell off "state-owned enterprises that created a nonviable economy." Sometimes rebuilding, he explained, means "tearing apart the old."
Few ideologues can resist the allure of a blank slate--that was colonialism's seductive promise: "discovering" wide-open new lands where utopia seemed possible. But colonialism is dead, or so we are told; there are no new places to discover, no terra nullius (there never was), no more blank pages on which, as Mao once said, "the newest and most beautiful words can be written." There is, however, plenty of destruction--countries smashed to rubble, whether by so-called Acts of God or by Acts of Bush (on orders from God). And where there is destruction there is reconstruction, a chance to grab hold of "the terrible barrenness," as a UN official recently described the devastation in Aceh, and fill it with the most perfect, beautiful plans.
"We used to have vulgar colonialism," says Shalmali Guttal, a Bangalore-based researcher with Focus on the Global South. "Now we have sophisticated colonialism, and they call it 'reconstruction.'"
It certainly seems that ever-larger portions of the globe are under active reconstruction: being rebuilt by a parallel government made up of a familiar cast of for-profit consulting firms, engineering companies, mega-NGOs, government and UN aid agencies and international financial institutions. And from the people living in these reconstruction sites--Iraq to Aceh, Afghanistan to Haiti--a similar chorus of complaints can be heard. The work is far too slow, if it is happening at all. Foreign consultants live high on cost-plus expense accounts and thousand- dollar-a-day salaries, while locals are shut out of much-needed jobs, training and decision-making. Expert "democracy builders" lecture governments on the importance of transparency and "good governance," yet most contractors and NGOs refuse to open their books to those same governments, let alone give them control over how their aid money is spent.
Three months after the tsunami hit Aceh, the New York Times ran a distressing story reporting that "almost nothing seems to have been done to begin repairs and rebuilding." The dispatch could easily have come from Iraq, where, as the Los Angeles Times just reported, all of Bechtel's allegedly rebuilt water plants have started to break down, one more in an endless litany of reconstruction screw-ups. It could also have come from Afghanistan, where President Hamid Karzai recently blasted "corrupt, wasteful and unaccountable" foreign contractors for "squandering the precious resources that Afghanistan received in aid." Or from Sri Lanka, where 600,000 people who lost their homes in the tsunami are still languishing in temporary camps. One hundred days after the giant waves hit, Herman Kumara, head of the National Fisheries Solidarity Movement in Negombo, Sri Lanka, sent out a desperate e-mail to colleagues around the world. "The funds received for the benefit of the victims are directed to the benefit of the privileged few, not to the real victims," he wrote. "Our voices are not heard and not allowed to be voiced."
But if the reconstruction industry is stunningly inept at rebuilding, that may be because rebuilding is not its primary purpose. According to Guttal, "It's not reconstruction at all--it's about reshaping everything." If anything, the stories of corruption and incompetence serve to mask this deeper scandal: the rise of a predatory form of disaster capitalism that uses the desperation and fear created by catastrophe to engage in radical social and economic engineering. And on this front, the reconstruction industry works so quickly and efficiently that the privatizations and land grabs are usually locked in before the local population knows what hit them. Kumara, in another e-mail, warns that Sri Lanka is now facing "a second tsunami of corporate globalization and militarization," potentially even more devastating than the first. "We see this as a plan of action amidst the tsunami crisis to hand over the sea and the coast to foreign corporations and tourism, with military assistance from the US Marines."

We're traveling far and enjoying the journey on Now is the Time, Sunday, April 21st at 10 pm. From his CD Stream of Stars, Dylan Mattingly's Atlas of Somewhere on the Way to Howland Island imagines the last flight of Amelia Earhart, somewhere over the Pacific, finishing with the movement "Islanded in a Stream of Stars."
James Aikman's CD Tremors From a Far Shore yields his Violin Sonata No. 2, a large-breathed work opening with a piano-centered Habanera. It also includes a second-movement Homage to his grandmother. Miguel del Aguila's softly delicious Pacific Serenade leaves us wanting to hear more from him, as we continue on our way.

U.S. Wins China-Tire Fight
Resolving Major Trade Spat, World Trade Organization Backs White House Tariff
The World Trade Organization handed the U.S. a big victory in a fight with China over tire imports, bolstering the Obama administration's effort to show it is tough on enforcement as it girds for a battle in Congress over passage of a free trade pact with South Korea.
The WTO's dispute-settlement panel ruled Monday in favor of President Barack Obama's decision in September 2009 to levy tariffs of up to 35% on Chinese tires.
Mr. Obama's move, made under a rarely used safeguard provision to protect against import surges, provoked one of the biggest trade spats between the two countries in recent years. In addition to the WTO case, China had retaliated by announcing a series of duties on U.S. chicken, nylon and other exports.
By going after China, the second-largest trading partner of the U.S., the White House aims to signal to unions and trade skeptics in Congress that it won't be lax in enforcing the Korea pact, the administration's first Asian trade deal. "This administration is doing what is necessary to enforce trade agreements on behalf of American workers and manufacturers," U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said Monday.
Wang Baodong, a spokesman for the Chinese Embassy in the U.S., said that Beijing would continue to defend the legitimate interests of Chinese enterprises and that strong trade ties benefit both nations.
The tires ruling came as a 100-strong Chinese delegation landed in Washington for annual trade talks with Mr. Kirk and Commerce Secretary Gary Locke this week and sets up a confrontation over a string of U.S. trade complaints against Beijing. The poor U.S. economy has fanned anti-China sentiment, and members of Congress were quick to demand Monday that U.S. negotiators do more to address issues from intellectual-property protection to the valuation of the Chinese currency.
U.S. Sens. Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio) and Olympia Snowe (R., Maine) Monday filed the Currency Reform for Fair Trade Act, an amendment to pending tax legislation that proposes to punish Beijing for currency manipulation, which many analysts say is a big contributor to the U.S. trade deficit with China. Treasury has been reluctant to press Beijing on the issue, for fear of igniting a broad trade war.
Separately, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D., Mont.) and ranking member Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) released a U.S. International Trade Commission report analyzing the economic impact of China's infringement of intellectual-property rights.
China's government has strongly rejected the U.S. move, disputing that the increase in imports of its tires was as large or damaging as Washington claims and calling the tariffs protectionist. In a statement on U.S. trade policy in September, Sun Zhenyu, China's ambassador to the WTO, said the tariffs went "against objective facts" and had caused layoffs at Chinese tire exporters and harmed consumer interests in the U.S.
China has also rejected U.S. criticism of its currency policy, and countered with charges that U.S. monetary expansion is leading to potentially destabilizing pressure on the dollar.
The WTO panel, in its report, said the value of Chinese tire shipments to the U.S. nearly tripled between 2004 and 2008 to $1.8 billion. China countered that the rate of growth slowed between 2007 and 2008, and said U.S. trade officials had failed to account properly for the effect on U.S. producers of the broader slump in demand during the recession.
The tires decision contrasted with a WTO ruling Friday that condemned antidumping tariffs imposed by the European Union on imports of Chinese screws, billed as Beijing's biggest WTO victory yet in its fight against retaliatory tariffs imposed by the EU and U.S. That case centered on EU charges that Chinese companies were exporting goods below cost.
U.S. trade officials say the tire case was more clear-cut. The U.S. imposed the tariffs under provisions that China agreed to when it entered the WTO in 2001, which allowed the U.S. to counter a surge of imports.
Both sides have 60 days to appeal the ruling.
The ruling was a victory for the United Steelworkers union, which has lodged a series of trade complaints against China. President Leo Gerard applauded the Obama administration for "standing up and defending American jobs."
U.S. tire producers and retailers have opposed the tariffs. The Rubber Manufacturers Association, which includes Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. and Cooper Tire & Rubber Co., said earlier this month that the tariffs had suppressed Chinese imports but caused a shift to other Pacific Rim producers.
The steelworkers union came out against the Korea trade pact on Friday. Trade officials hope that by continuing enforcement efforts, they can prevent unions from actively lobbying against the pact once debate begins.

© Copyright 2015 Newton Citizen
COVINGTON - Tennis for all three Newton County teams ended abruptly in the first round of the playoffs on Wednesday.Girls Evans 3, Alcovy 0 The Alcovy girls team lost in the first round of the Class AAAA tennis playoffs, losing all three singles rounds to Evans. Losing at No. 1, 2 and 3 singles were Leah Anderson, Mary Ruth Davis and Kimberly Rary. The doubles teams of Jordan Shull and Stephanie Waits (No. 1) and Katie Neihoff and Alora Fuller (No. 2) never got the chance to finish their games. Alcovy finished the season with an overall record of 9-9, 6-2 in Region 4-AAAA. Anderson finished the season with an overall record of 14-3. Davis finished with a record of 7-7 with Rary finishing at 6-5 for singles and 4-1 for doubles. Shull's record was 6-8 at doubles, Waits was 4-5 for doubles and 2-3 for singles while Fuller and Neihoff were 8-3 doubles. "With the loss of six seniors, there will be holes to fill," coach Marcia Lynn Johnson-Watkins said. "But I am confident in next year because I have a solid group of girls that will be returning. There will be good competition amongst the girls to fill these spots." Tift County 5, Newton 0 The Tift County girls tennis team took the first step toward another trip to the semifinals after beating Newton 5-0 on Wednesday. "They were extremely strong and dominated the match," coach Michael Bryan said. "I am very proud of the effort of each of my players this year. We only had two returning varsity players and still managed to make the state playoffs. Our team is extremely young and really improved over the course of the season. If the girls work hard to improve during the offseason, we should have a strong team next year." Boys Valdosta 5, Newton 0 The Newton boys tennis team was quickly knocked out of the Class AAAAA tennis tournament, losing to Valdosta 5-0 in the opening round of the playoffs. No. 1 singles Mark Mote and No. 2 singles Gavin Gates were the only players to win a set against the Wildcats. Mote lost his match 6-1, 6-1 while Gates played a 6-0, 6-1 match. No. 3 singles Donovan White and both doubles teams, Chris and Casey Williams at No. 1 and Ricky Moore and Grady Smith at No. 2, lost 6-0, 6-0. "Region 1 has produced most of the Final Four tennis teams in the state playoffs the last few years, so the lopsided results were not that surprising," coach Andy Clink said. "I thought the team played well and they handled themselves very well in the tough matches."
