Where the Art Is: How a Sense of Place Informs Creativity
In the conclusion of the first season of "Confounding Expectations: Photography in Context," an ambitious series produced by Aperture Foundation in collaboration with the New School/Parsons School of Design, author and critic Amei Wallach discusses with Sylvia Plachy, Shirin Neshat, and Walid Raad the impact that the act of returning home, or of turning both toward and away from homes, has on work that reflects a self that couldn't exist without this exile.
Neshat's most poignant photographs, videos, and installations are both politically and poetically cinematic, and were created only after she returned to Iran in the early '90s (for the first time since the revolution in 1979). Raad's work is one of text and context enacted through performance, photography, and assorted media; his "imaginary foundation," the Atlas Group, researches and archives the contemporary history of Lebanon (where he was born), and his work with Arab Image Foundation promotes experimental-video production in the Middle East and North Africa. Plachy's latest publication, Self Portrait With Cows Going Home (Aperture, 2004), is an almost lyrical travelogue of 40 years of return trips, both literal and through the medium of photography, looking back to the home in Hungary she left in 1956. The work of all three is informed by and indicative of a duality that can only come from feeling at home (and feeling lost) in more than one place. Now each resides in New York.

The San Diego Metropolitan Transit System's (MTS) board of directors approved the purchase of 53 new 40-foot low-floor compressed natural gas buses and authorized MTS to exercise an option to purchase seven more low-floor trolleys.The New Flyer buses, which included all required Americans with Disabilities Act equipment, will cost $22.3 million. Delivery of the buses will be from May through August of 2012. MTS will retire old buses that have reached the end of their useful lives.The option to buy seven low-floor trolleys from Siemens Industry Inc., based in Sacramento, Calif., is in addition to the 57 low-floor cars already on order. MTS began taking delivery of these in September of 2011. The total cost for the seven light rail vehicles is $26.9 million. The vehicles are 80-feet long, seat 60 passengers and feature easy access boarding for wheelchairs, pushcarts and strollers via ramps.Upon delivery of all cars in 2014, every train in the system will operate with at least two low-floor cars. This will make boarding of the trolleys easier for all passengers and eliminate delays associated with the deployment of a mechanical lift in high-floor cars for people with mobility devices.MTS is retiring its fleet of U-2 high-floor trolley cars that it began purchasing in 1980. Many of these cars have traveled more than two million miles and carried more than nine million passengers. Eleven of the U-2 Cars have been sold to the Mendoza Provence of Argentina. Negotiations are under way for the sale of the remaining 60 U-2 vehicles.MTS operates 53 miles of double-tracked light rail and a bus network of more than 90 fixed routes. It is on pace to generate more than 90 million trips in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012.
Tier One modernizes 300 stops along two of GRTC's busiest routes with each stop receiving upgrades that include new flags with clearly visible route and bus stop numbers as well as eye-level, easy-to-use printed schedule and map information.
The keynote address, "Driving Excellence" will be delivered on Tuesday, Sept. 29, at 11 a.m. by Mark Aesch, CEO of TransPro, a management consultancy that guides transit systems.
The changes are aimed at improving bus operations and reducing congestion in the terminal that can stretch back out into the inbound Lincoln Tunnel and beyond.
The 8.3-mile route, with a proposed 27 stops, would replace the Capital Area Transportation Authority's current Route 1 from downtown Lansing to the Meridian Mall. Results from the plan's environmental assessment study are expected to be shared at a public hearing this fall.

Greg Oden opens up about injuries, alcoholism, unfulfilled promise
May 9, 2012, 3:37 PM EDT
If you read one thing today, it should be the story about Greg Oden by Mark Titus at Grantland. It is fantastic. Click the link. Go read it, I'll wait.
Oden is an enigma, the poster child for the Blazers history of flamed out draft choices, the guy drafted before Kevin Durant, the guy with three micorofracture surgeries, the guy whose naked cell phone picture of himself ended up all over the Web.
It's easy today for us to take guys like Oden and paint them as two-dimensional characters. Oden as guy to mock. Oden as cautionary tale. People point to Durant as the obvious choice now, but at the time know that 29 other GMs would have made the same pick because the promise of Oden was that great (and when he played healthy, he looked good). Any GM saying otherwise is lying.
But as always, the real story is more complex. Oden made mistakes, but lacked a mentor to help steer him away from others. There was no NBA veteran guiding him, which is why while he was out in his second season someone filled the void.
That's because it wasn't an NBA veteran who took Greg under his wing in his second season — it was his veteran cousin from the Air Force who moved into Greg's house in Portland.
"If you know anything about guys in the Air Force," Greg explained, "it's that they drink a ton. My cousin got wrapped up in the NBA lifestyle and threw parties at my house all the time. So I got wrapped up in it too. When I played well, I'd drink to celebrate. And when I played poorly, I'd drink to forget. That second year in Portland I pretty much became an alcoholic."1
The story goes on to explain that Oden's wrist injury in college that kept him out came when his brother Anthony attacked him and Oden defended himself.
It also talks about how while at Ohio State Oden's best friend died and how that impacted him into his rookie year in Portland.
Greg's rookie season was over before it even began (due to a knee injury). Portland fans, who endured the injury-ravaged careers of Bill Walton and Sam Bowie, freaked out. What those fans didn't know was that Greg's heart was still aching because of Travis's death; he was already headed down a destructive path of drinking and "doing things I shouldn't have been doing" (his words at dinner). The knee surgery only made things worse.
"For starters, Portland isn't a great city to live in if you're a young, African American male with a lot of money," Greg explained with an embarrassed grin. "But that's especially true if you don't have anybody to guide you. Since I was hurt the entire season, I was on my own a bunch and didn't have veteran teammates around to help me adapt to the NBA lifestyle."
Then there are those pictures of him and his… um, well he sent a girl a naked picture of himself.
"I wish it wouldn't have happened," he said. "But I'm not going to apologize for it. After all, I'm human and there are worse things that 21-year-olds could do. I just got caught up with women throwing themselves at me. When a girl sends me 100 pictures, I have to send something back every now and then. I'm not an a********."
This is just a fraction of what's in the story, you should read it.
It does not excuse Oden for his mistakes, but it gives you a picture of the real Oden, the shy guy who had to grow up in a spotlight he loathed. Still loathes. A guy who does not fit neatly into the two-dimensional boxes we try to squeeze him into. A guy who has made mistakes but has paid for them many times over.
And a guy who has not given up on an NBA comeback someday.

(April 21, 2010)--UTSA business and engineering students will compete for $100,000 in business-related services and prizes at San Antonio's largest business planning competition, the UTSA $100,000 Student Technology Venture Competition. The competition will be from 1 to 3 p.m., Saturday, April 24 in Buena Vista Street Building Room 1.326 at the UTSA Downtown Campus. The event is free and open to the public.
The biannual competition, hosted by the UTSA Center for Innovation and Technology Entrepreneurship (CITE), promotes student entrepreneurship by pairing engineering students who create viable new technologies with business students who create business plans to market those technologies through a viable start-up.
Ten teams of UTSA business and engineering students are competing in this year's contest. Their companies represent a variety of new technologies with applications in renewable energy, smart electronic devices, healthcare and transportation. The teams will be judged by local academic, business and entrepreneurial experts on their business plans, new technology and the team's presentation. At the close of the daylong competition, some of the winning teams will have the opportunity to start and sell their companies.
"To our knowledge, this is the largest undergraduate new-business competition in Texas, and the only competition of its kind in San Antonio," said Cory Hallam, CITE director. "Since our first competition three years ago, the business community has really stepped up to help our students launch their companies. With the help of our sponsors, we're now offering students $100,000 in prizes including consulting services, marketing services, office space, intellectual property protection and other benefits."
The competition is sponsored by the Texas Research Technology Foundation, Cox Smith Attorneys, Harvard Business School Club of San Antonio and San Antonio Technology Center.
"The tech start-up competition is a great experience for our students," said Hallam. "The format gives them a chance to experience what it's like to be an entrepreneur -- and adding this context to their education is what differentiates them and UTSA as a premier university."
CITE is an interdisciplinary center in the UTSA College of Business and the College of Engineering. The center focuses on fostering the growth of entrepreneurs and new technology-based ventures through a process of education, experiences, resources and support.
A revolution in cloud computing is underway, and Ravi Sandhu believes it will be much bigger than the PC and Internet revolutions that have already changed the way we live. Sandhu, director of the UTSA Institute for Cyber Security, says UTSA is taking a leadership role in tackling three fundamental cloud technology problems: how to build and operate the cloud, how to use it profitably for diverse applications and how to keep it secure.
Sandhu, the Lutcher Brown Distinguished Chair in Cyber Security in the College of Sciences, and Ram Krishnan, assistant professor of electrical engineering in the UTSA College of Engineering, are funded by a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to improve cloud security.
Did you know? Sandhu, a world-renowned cybersecurity expert, holds 30 patents, has authored more than 250 papers and been cited more than 30,000 times.

Dont bother asking for the General Manager either. She was the one who was promising weekly that it would be done but never did it. Worst customer experience ever and we never stayed a night.

Karl Rove has made his choice: the former Bush strategist is siding with Rush Limbaugh over Colin Powell in the continuing intra-party Republican war of words.
Rove told Fox News that Limbaugh would edge out the former secretary of state if he "had to pick between the two." Limbaugh has said that former Secretary of State Powell, who publicly endorsed Barack Obama over John McCain, belongs in the Democratic Party. For his part, Powell says that Limbaugh is an entertainer who is driving the moderates out of the GOP.
"I have always felt that the Republican Party should be more inclusive than it generally has been over the years and I believe that we need a strong Republican Party that is not just anchored in the base but has built on the base to include more individuals," he told CBS' "Face the Nation."
Ultimately, Rove said, the debate between Limbaugh and Powell is a "false" one because neither is a candidate for public office.
"The real debate takes place out there in the real world by people getting out there and encouraging the kind of candidates who represent their vision for the party," Rove said.

On Capitol Hill, events related to the congressional amnesty debate are unfolding at breakneck pace. Last week, the Obama administration authorized the release from federal detention centers of 10,000 criminal aliens. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano hinted at the move in her press conference when she disingenuously bemoaned how sequestration would force her to cut border patrol agents. For President Obama, the aliens' release represents a two for the price of one. First, Obama is reminding House Republicans that he intends to play tough on the budget negotiations. And second, Obama has sent the nation a message ...

The sleight of hand continues unabated in Washington.

However, this deal is merely a Band-Aid, not a permanent fix to Greece's problems. So another crisis is inevitable.
Congress officially writes the laws in the country, but they increasingly pass broad, vague generalities that allow regulators, bureaucrats, and judges to make all of the important policy decisions, often decades after the Congress that enacted the original law has left office.

VIP: Harvey Platt, CEO of Platt Electric
|| Print |
|Monday, January 01, 2007
Harvey PlattCEO, Platt Electric
Even after 20 years, Harvey Platt still feels like the accidental head of his family's 53-year-old wholesale electrical supply business, Platt Electric. "I thought I'd always be someone who worked for his brother," he says of filling the void left by older sibling Jerry, who was Platt Electric's president when he died from cancer in 1986. "I never planned to be in charge, which is why I'm so encouraging of employees to work their way out of the warehouse. You don't start at the top, but you can get there."
This scenario is familiar to Platt as he was, literally, sent packing to the warehouse after college in 1972 to wrap and ship electrical wire because his father said "that's where his real education" began. After a year, Platt tried his hand at sales, then administration and purchasing, where he spent the next 14 or so years before losing his brother. He wasn't prepared to take over and learned quickly how he and his brother differed in their management styles. "Jerry's approach was 'I will tell you everything you need to know,'" says Platt. "I was big on training people so they could figure things out for themselves. That was a tough transition, but it's proven fruitful."
In 1997, Platt became CEO and his cousin Jay took over as president. Jay's leadership, he says, has helped strengthen the family-business side of their corporate culture: a model built on performance and enthusiasm, not fancy degrees. "If you hire the right people, give them incentives and a good corporate culture, they'll stick around," says Platt, adding that four of his regional VPs started in the warehouse. "Our electrical wire isn't any better than anyone else's, but I think our employees are happy and it makes all the difference."

Commerzbank warns of fourth-quarter loss
Commerzbank warned on Monday that it would report a net loss of €720m for the fourth quarter of 2012, and that its first-quarter results for this year would be hit by a €500m restructuring charge in connection with its cost-cutting measures.
In an unscheduled release of preliminary fourth-quarter figures, the German bank cited charges of at least €745m related to an asset sale last year and lower-than-expected tax relief for the fourth-quarter loss.
Overall, Commerzbank, 25%-owned by the German government, said full-year operating profit for 2012 rose to about €1.2bn from €507m the year before, as revenue remained virtually flat at €9.9bn. Net profit was €6m, compared with €638m in 2011.
Separately, Macquarie on Tuesday forecast a less-than-expected growth of almost 10% in full-year net income for the 12 months ending March 31, Bloomberg reported. In a regulatory filing, the Australian investment bank, which posted full-year adjusted earnings of A$730m (€562.5m) a year earlier, said that it anticipates better market conditions to boost dealmaking.
However, Macquarie slashed the outlook for its fixed income, currency and commodity trading business, saying annual profit at the division will likely remain almost flat.

About this design:
I chose to make a bracelet from the Spring Rain necklace/bracelet kit. It started off as a heavy-looking piece, but the longer I worked with it, the more I realized that I would rather have a delicate piece. So I started over (3 times) :)
I ended up with this bracelet that incorporates wire and leather with items from the kit.
What you'll need: (buy products below)
- Vintaj Spring Rain Necklace/Bracelet Kit
- 2' leather cord
- 2 Vintaj creative hoops
- approx. 8' hemp cord
- approx. 9' 24 gauge wire
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1:
Take your 24 gauge wire and begin wrapping beads onto the cuff. Only string one bead on at a time. I wrapped the wire back under each bead after I wrapped the bead to the hoop.
Step 2:
Take your hemp and wire together and wrap onto the hoop.
Step 3:
To attach charms to the hoop once it has been wrapped, make the loops on your wire wrapped charms large enough. I went way back on my round nose pliers, but you could also use your bail making pliers.
Step 4:
To finish off the ends of your creative hoops, make the ends of the loop over using the bail making pliers.
Step 5:
Finally, I took my 2 bracelets and made sure that the shapes were the same before connecting them.

What a beautiful work of art!
What a fabulous bracelet design, Ali! Love the color palette! Thanks for the instructions, too!
Ali, you're the best! Thanks for the instructions! This piece is gorgeous!
Gorgeous bracelet Ali!
I LOVE this idea Ali!
Your crativity with mixed media is always an inspiration to me. Thank you. Because I never know what to do with so many of the wonderful new things LB is carrying. You are a great help to me!
Thanks everyone! I am actually working on a necklace made from the chunkier remnants of this bracelet. It won't be Spring Rain, but I think it'll still be pretty cool … one of those necklaces that I would wear everyday of summer.
Wow! This is stunning! Your talent is amazing!
It is so pretty.It is just such a beautiful braclet.
Wonderful use of the colors and textures…just beautiful!
Love this Ali! You are so talented!
I love the look but don't like winding wire so will probably not do this but I absolutely LOVE the kits. They make it so handy, and also give us an upfront idea of how much a project will cost.
Very organic! Love it! Thanks for sharing!
I love the blues, nice mix of lights and darks textures,pretty feminine assesory.
Ali–I have been watching your work and I envy your creativity and putting out so many different things. I don't have much time to fully comment but I'll be back. Good Job! EW
What did you use for a clasp?
Have the materials – ready to make me one!
Although the product list showed 2′ of leather, I didn't see in the instructions. What did I miss?
Oh Ali, you've done it again. Its stunning and just my taste too! Be proud. And thank you for your generous instructions. Thank you so much! Elena
Loved your braclet, reminds me of native jewerly, also I love dangle types stuff . Keep up the good work.
