This is the first module in the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) Project Suite curriculum. Activities are self-directed by students or student teams using online videos and data from the SDO satellite to explore, research and build knowledge about... (View More) features of the Sun. Students build vocabulary, apply or demonstrate learning through real world connections, and creating resources to use in their investigations. Each activity comes with both a teacher and student guide with sequential instructions and embedded links to the needed videos and internet resources. Activity 1A: Structure of the Earth's Star takes students through the features and function of the Sun's structures using online videos, completing a "Sun Primer" data sheet using information from the videos, and creating a 3D origami model of the Sun. Students use a KWL chart to track what they have learned. Activity 1B: Observing the Sun has students capture real solar images from SDO data to find and record sunspots and track their movement across the surface of the Sun. Activity 1C has students create a pin-hole camera to use in calculating the actual diameter of the Sun, and then calculate scales to create a Earth-Sun scale model. Students reflect on their learning and results at the end of the module. An internet connection and access to computers are needed to complete this module. (View Less)

Important things to know about private student loans
Already applied?
Manage your loan
A cosigner can really pay off
A cosigner can help you qualify
If a parent or other creditworthy individual cosigns the loan with you, it may help lower your interest rate - and give you a better chance of approval.
Cosigner release available
After graduation a borrower may apply for their cosigner to be released from the loan once they have made 12 consecutive, on-time principal and interest payments and meet certain credit requirements.
Parents - Looking for a loan for your child?
It's important to explore your options. Click here to learn about the differences between the Sallie Mae Smart Option Student Loan® and the PLUS Loan for Parents.
Encouraging Responsible Borrowing
Sallie Mae has helped more than 30 million Americans pay for college since 1972. We encourage students and families to supplement their savings by exploring grants, scholarships, federal and state student loans, and to consider the anticipated monthly payments on their total student loan debt and their expected future earnings before considering a private education loan.
You must attend a participating school or have attended one in an eligible prior enrollment period. You must be a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident or a Non-U.S. citizen borrower who is attending or has attended a school located in the U.S. applying with a creditworthy cosigner (who must be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident) and required U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) documentation. U.S. citizens and permanent residents enrolled in eligible study abroad programs or who are attending or have attended schools located outside the U.S. are also eligible. Applications are subject to a requested minimum loan amount of $1,000. You must meet current credit and other eligibility criteria.
1 As certified by your school and confirmed by Sallie Mae, less other financial aid received. Sallie Mae reserves the right to approve a lower loan amount than what the school has certified. For Smart Option Student Loans, request amounts exceeding $99,999 may require multiple loans. For Career Training Smart Option Student Loans the maximum loan amount is $75,000.
2 Interest rates for the Fixed and Deferred Repayment Options are higher than for loans with the Interest Repayment Option. Variable rates may increase after consummation. Interest is charged while you are in school and during the 6-month separation period. Any interest that remains unpaid when you enter full repayment will be added to your loan balance.
3 The release of a cosigner is at the sole discretion of Sallie Mae. Only the borrower may apply for cosigner release. The borrower must provide proof of graduation or successful completion of certification program, not be delinquent and have made 12 consecutive on-time payments of principal and interest immediately before applying, provide proof of income, pass a credit review that demonstrates a satisfactory credit history and the ability to assume full responsibility of the loan(s) individually, have no student loan(s) in default, must not be reported as 90+ days delinquent in the past 24 months, must not be in hardship forbearance and/or in a modified repayment program, be a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, and meet the age of majority in their state. Requirements are as of October 13, 2014, and are subject to change.
Smart Option Student Loans and Career Training Smart Option Student Loans are made by Sallie Mae Bank or a lender partner.

Buffalo, N.Y. - Lawyers for the family of Alix Rice and Dr. James Corasanti squared off in a Buffalo courtroom on Thursday prior to Corasanti's civil trial for Rice's death.
A good portion of the arguments revolved around Corasanti's attorneys trying to prevent certain parts of the lawsuit brought by Rice's family from being considered by a jury at trial.
This on the same day Corasanti was a passenger in a vehicle that was rear-ended by an alleged drunk driver.
One area is whether Corasanti can be sued for punitive damages.
State law sets a fairly high threshold that has to be met here - it must be shown that a defendant acted with "spite or malice....had an evil motive or a deliberate disregard of the interests of others."
Corasanti's attorneys say his actions on the night Alix Rice was killed did not rise to those levels.
Jennifer Schiffmacher, Corasanti Attorney: "There is no evidence or testimony of witnesses that Dr. Corasanti was visibly intoxicated in the hours preceding the accident. In addition there is no evidence that Dr. Corasanti was operating his vehicle in a reckless or erratic manner prior to the accident. In addition despite plaintiffs' claims, there is no evidence that Dr. Corasanti was texting or using his phone at the time of the accident."
But attorneys for the Rice family strongly disagreed.
Lawlor Quinlan, Rice Family Attorney: "You have a drunk driver who was speeding, driving in the bike lane and texting."
The Rice family also says Corasanti's conduct after the accident must be taken into account as well.
Lawlor Quinlan Rice Family Attorney: "He says 'I didn't realize I hit a woman, I thought it might have been a little stone in the road or something that jumped up on my car,' it's preposterous. All of these things on top of each other not only would support a claim for punitive damages, they compel one."
Another point of contention: whether Corasanti can be sued for causing Alix pain and suffering.
Corasanti's attorneys say that Alix's death was instantaneous.
Jennifer Schiffmacher, Corasanti Attorney: "There is simply no evidence of any type of consciousness of the decedent after the accident- no movement, no moaning no crying out, the facts reveal that the decedent was lifeless immediately following the accident."
Lawlor Quinlan, Rice Family Attorney: "We know for a fact that the death was not instantaneous, she still had a pulse found by lay witnesses, found by expert medical people of the Getzville Fire Department that came there, so that's not instantaneous death. It's an issue of fact for the jury (to decide)."
The judge reserved decision on all of the issues before him.

Two sisters set their sights on opening a candy store. Ten months later, they were up and running strong in Glen Allen, Va.
Sarah Solomon tells the story of how she went from high-tech sales to stay-at-home mom to launching a contemporary candy store with her older sister, Chrissy.
Candy.com: So, you opened Sweet Spot in Glen Allen, Va., with your sister in November 2010 after a successful career in software. What ultimately made you jump from software sales to Candy Land?
Sarah: Before my career in software, I had worked in retail for a few small locally owned businesses. It was during that time that I developed the dream of owning my own business. I left my career in software sales 4 ½ years ago to stay home with my son. While home with my growing family, my sister and I would talk more and more about starting a business together. I just wasn't sure exactly what it would be. It was my sister, Chrissy that always had Candy Land on the brain. It has always been her vision to create a modern version of an old-fashioned candy store. The more we talked about it, the more I wanted this place to exist. With her creative vision and my experience in retail and sales, I felt confident that we could open a successful business together.
Candy.com: How long did it take you and your sister to get your candy shop up and running after you both made the decision to go for it?
Sarah: We've been talking about this for as long as I can remember, but we decided to go for it in January 2010 and we opened our doors November 20, 2010. We signed our lease in August 2010, so most things happened between August and November. It was a crazy few months!
Candy.com: Your store definitely has a modern vibe, yet is stocked with nostalgic and hard-to-find candies. How did your contemporary design esthetic come to life?
Sarah: Since our store concept encourages guests to come in and hang out while they enjoy their sweets, it was important to us that the store be bright and fun. We both love design and knew from the beginning that we wanted to hire a firm to help us. The best decision we made throughout the whole start-up process was to hire the local design firm, Visible Proof. They helped with so much more than the design of the store. Our graphic designer, Ansel Olson created our amazing graphics, which are carried through the store on our bags, boxes, gift packaging, T-shirts, and even chocolates! They helped us create an identity and brand.
Visible Proof has received multiple awards this year for their work on Sweet Spot from the graphics to the overall store design. We couldn't be happier how the store turned out.
Candy.com: When we talked at the 2011 Sweets & Snacks EXPO, you mentioned how you really work hard to find unique candies for your shop. Any new product(s) from the expo that made you weak in the knees?
Sarah: Leaf Brand's Farts Candy. I'm still not sold on the name but I'm sold on the candy! They were delicious and I wanted more. We tried them out on our candy testers and they all agreed that they are going to give Nerds a run for their money. Now we just need to get them in the store.
Candy.com: Your upcoming "Candy Lego Building Contest" with candy Legos and Marshmallow Fluff sounds like a dream come true for Lego lovers. How do you come up with all of your clever in-store events?
Sarah: We always knew that we were building Sweet Spot to be more than just a retail candy store. It was built to create memories and experiences for people. We wanted to create a place where we wanted to take our own kids and the events are an important part of that. As for the ideas, I wish I could take credit but it is all Chrissy. She is our real life Willy Wonka. If only I had a dollar for every time I heard her say, "Wouldn't it be fun if…."
On National Gumdrop Day, I had to talk her out of trying to get permission to drop gumdrops off the balcony several floors above our store so kids could catch them in buckets on the sidewalk below.
Candy.com: Since your grand opening, is there anything that's really surprised you and your sister about the business?
Sarah: I'm surprised by how many people (other than Chrissy and me) are emotionally connected to the nostalgic memories that candy and sweets can trigger. It is so fun to watch someone get excited about finding a candy or soda they haven't seen since they were a kid. It is amazing how something so small can bring back a flood of childhood memories and make you feel so warm inside. We love that we can share that with people. Just the other day, someone came in and asked if we had Bonkers. I hadn't thought about that candy in years and it brought back a flood of memories of my childhood. They should bring those back!
Candy.com: Any plans for opening additional outposts?
Sarah: We would definitely like to expand and have been researching additional locations in Virginia.

It is at the tail end of dusk so there is a purple glow in the base of the sky that expands up into rich blues. The Christmas lights are visible inside the rooms and the trees and the statue of Andrew Jackson on the rearing horse with his hat in hand are in black profile framing the building. In the upper left the shadow the the Washington monument is visible with two little lights at the top glowing red like eyes watching.

RICHVILLE St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services is preparing to transfer ownership of a former school to the village, which plans to sell it.
Were in negotiations with BOCES right now, said Mayor Ella Mae Blue Jay Fenlong. Im guessing it could happen anytime now.
The building once an elementary school for Gouverneur Central School was used by BOCES for an alternative education program and more recently to house health insurance administrators. The building has been vacant since BOCES renovated a former nursing home in Canton for its offices.
A deal was struck long ago for BOCES to give the village the first shot at the building for $1 if it was no longer needed, Ms. Fenlong said.
The big reason we want it is the back of the property connects to our park, she said. It has a ball field.
If the village has ownership, it could split off the land which is less than an acre join it to the park and then sell the building, Ms. Fenlong said. Whatever money the village makes would go toward a beautification project or into the park, she said.
If we made a few thousand dollars, wed be happy, she said.
The transfer is proceeding as planned, said BOCES Superintendent Thomas R. Burns.
Both attorneys have reviewed it, he said. Everything looks ready to go.
Not everyone favors village ownership of the building, however.
Bonnie G. Raymo, a former mayor, voiced her worry the village could end up stuck with a white elephant, particularly if the building requires asbestos abatement or taxpayers have to pay to fix a leaking roof and make other repairs.
If we get stuck with it, it could bankrupt our village, she said.
However, Ms. Fenlong said the building is generally in good shape.
Its way better than I would have thought it would be, she said. Whoever gets it would get a heck of a building. The last thing I would want is to burden the village.
Putting the building back on the tax roll could mean an assessment of $500,000 added to the villages overall value, she said.
Several people have expressed interest in the building but no one has made a commitment, Ms. Fenlong said.

What is Borderline Personality Disorder?
You may not be familiar with Borderline Personality Disorder, but it's somewhat common: Two percent of American adults, mostly women, suffer from this condition, which is characterized impulsive actions, unstable moods and chaotic relationships. A person with Borderline Personality Disorder, or BPD, may experience intense bouts of anger, depression, and anxiety that may last only hours, or at most a day. These distortions in thinking and sense of self can lead to frequent changes in long-term goals, career plans, jobs, friendships, gender identity, and values. These may be associated with episodes of impulsive aggression, self-injury, and drug or alcohol abuse. Sometimes people with BPD view themselves as fundamentally bad, or unworthy. They may feel unfairly misunderstood or mistreated, bored, empty, and have little idea who they are. Such symptoms are most acute when people with BPD feel isolated and lacking in social support, and may result in frantic efforts to avoid being alone. Music sensations Britney Spears, Amy Winehouse, and Courtney Love are all thought to be BPD sufferers. Meanwhile, actresses Lindsey Lohan, Angelina Jolie, and Winona Ryder have also been speculated to have the illness. People with BPD exhibit certain impulsive behaviors, such as excessive spending, binge eating and risky sex. These powerful emotions generally wax and wane quickly and often. But, due to their intensity, may result in self-damaging behaviors, such as reckless driving, substance abuse, or unprotected sex. Borderline Personality Disorder sufferers may also engage in self-mutilation by cutting or burning themselves. BPD often occurs together with other psychiatric problems, particularly bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety disorders, substance abuse, and other personality disorders. Additionally, BPD is characterized by an insecure sense of self, which means that people with the disorder frequently change jobs, goals, friendships, and even, in more extreme cases, gender identity. Similarly, BPD sufferers often have turbulent and highly unstable patterns in their interpersonal relationships. While they can develop intense but stormy attachments, their attitudes towards family, friends, and loved ones may suddenly shift from idealization, characterized by great love or admiration to devaluation, which is expressed as intense anger and dislike. Such anger may result in temper tantrums or even physical confrontations. Most people with Borderline Personality Disorder have a real fear of being alone or abandoned. These fears of abandonment seem to be related to difficulties feeling emotionally connected to important persons when they are physically absent leaving the individual with BPD feeling lost and perhaps worthless. This instability in mood, self-image, relationships, and behavior may be the reason that suicide rates among individuals with BPD are as high as 15-percent. This distressing figure has caused a great deal of research into the risk factors and causes of Borderline Personality Disorder. The precise cause of borderline personality disorder, or BPD, is unknown. People with BPD, however are known to be impulsive in areas that have a potential for self-harm, such as drug use, drinking, and other risk-taking behaviors. Studies show that MOST people with BPD report a history of abuse, separation, or neglect as a child. Other research suggests that people with BPD in their families may be more at risk for developing the mental illness. Finally, there are studies that show people with BPD have abnormalities in areas of the brain that control aggression and impulsivity. It's impossible to prevent these causes of Borderline Personality Disorder, but treatment for the condition is constantly evolving. Dialectical behavior therapy, for example, is a type of individual or group therapy that was created specifically to treat BPD. This therapeutic method uses a skill-based approach to teach BPD sufferers how to regulate their emotions and improve their relationships. Occasionally, the addition of an anti-depressant or anti-psychotic medication will also be added to a treatment plan. In extreme cases, a person with BPD may need to spend time in a psychiatric hospital. While Borderline Personality Disorder is distressing, with proper care, sufferers can go on to lead normal, healthy lives. After all, Britney Spears' comeback album, Circus sold a cool 1.5 million copies while Angelina Jolie has taken six children and a non-profit organization under her wing! If you're worried that you or someone you love may have Borderline Personality Disorder, make an appointment to see a mental health professional immediately!

Celebrity hairstylist Sarah Potempa's Beachwaver Rotator Curling Iron ($199) is the kind of thing that, once you use it, you wonder, "Why hasn't this existed until now?" The styling tool, which looks like a curling iron with a super short clamp, makes it possible to get professional-grade curls even if you're all thumbs. Clip a section of your hair onto the bottom of the iron and, depending on which side of your head you're working on, click either L or R (for left or right, respectively), then hit Go. The iron turns on its own until you release the button and then the clamp. Depending on what you do next--spritz on your favorite surf spray, brush out the curls, comb in a pomade--you're left with anything from Ava Gardner-like curls to Penelope Cruz-worthy waves.
After a group styling session on the morning it landed in our office, Who What Wear was full of bouncy, voluminous hair--and we'd probably spent a cumulative ten minutes in front of the mirror. So if you're thinking, "It can't possibly be that easy," we'd bet our Beachwaver on it.

Dow to use K-Dow award for debt repayment
May 24, 2013 | Vincent Valk
Dow Chemical today announced plans to use up to $2 billion of its $2.2 billion payout from Petrochemical Industries of Kuwait (PIC) over the K-Dow joint venture termination to pay down high-interest debt. The moves will reduce Dow's annual interest expense by over $100 million, the company says. They include redemption of $1.25 billion in 5.9% bonds due in 2015, as well as redemption of some tax exempt bonds and InterNotes. Some $1.6 billion of the debt repayment is expected to occur during the second-quarter of this year, including the 2015 bond...

With the passing of economist and scholar James McGill Buchanan on January 9, 2013, a voice of insight and understanding in a tumultuous world has been stilled.
Born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in 1919, Buchanan built his understanding of how the world works with degrees from the University of Tennessee and the University of Chicago (the "Chicago School"). He taught at a number of universities from 1950 to 1969, after which he served as Distinguished Professor of Economics at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute — Virginia Tech — where he co-founded the Center for the Study of Public Choice. In 1983 he moved the center to George Mason University, where he served as emeritus professor until his death.
An author of more than 30 books and numerous articles, he was noted for his groundbreaking understanding in the area of public choice, the division of economic study that explored how elected and appointed political officials make decisions that often are contrary to the wishes of their constituents. He received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1986 for his work in that field from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences which stated,
Buchanan's foremost achievement is that he has consistently and tenaciously emphasized the significance of fundamental rules [in public policy decision-making] and [considered] the political system as an exchange process for the achievement of mutual advantages [among the political players].
Buchanan expressed surprise at the committee's announcement, noting, "I have faced a sometimes lonely and mostly losing battle of ideas for some 30 years now … My task has been to 'uneducate' the economists."

We also believe in helping you maintain your investment to keep your Chacos going for years. Our suggestions are low-impact, safe methods and will not delaminate the rubber, nor cause the webbing to crack or fade.
Chaco Sandals: the unofficial official recovery sandal of the Rock/Creek Race Team
If you've seen members of the Rock/Creek Race Team at trail races around the country, you've probably seen more than one pair of Chacos, and that's no accident. Chaco isn't an official sponsor of our Race Team, but so many of our runners wear Chacos before and after racing that we're going to go ahead and call them an unofficial one...
Rock/Creek & Chaco Sandals donate $3,000 to plant trees in Chattanooga
The $3,000 will fund the planting of 18 trees in two sections of median on Dallas Road in Chattanooga. The species selected for planting is an American Elm cultivar called "Princeton," bred for its resistance to Dutch Elm Disease. By selecting the American Elm, we're re-introducing a native tree to the urban landscape...

Comments about Chaco Sandals Native Ecotread Sandal (Women's):
The straps and the button loop were a bit tight at first making the sandal difficult to put on. I'm glad I took the time to break them in. Contour of the leather foot bed is very comfortable. I wear these a lot. They look very nice with dress shorts or a casual skirt or dress. Bottom line ..... I would definitely buy them again

By MARLA MARSHALL
I watched in horror a couple of weeks ago as the news reported another fatal accident on Highway 6 between Price and Spanish Fork. A husband, wife, and their young son were burned in a horrible accident. Three people, in another vehicle, were injured.
The news reporter interviewed a highway patrolman who said, "I don't consider this a dangerous road, it is usually driver error that causes the accidents." Well, Mr. Highway Patrolman, I would like to know what you do consider a dangerous road.
To begin with, that road is a two way road, one lane going each direction, which increases the chances of having a head on collision. The lanes are narrow and windy with many very sharp curves. There are places where you couldn't get off the road even if you had time to react to an impending accident. In addition, passing lanes are few and far between.
Factor in the number of slow moving vehicles, large trucks, and oversize loads that cross that highway on a daily basis. Black ice, deer and elk in the road, traffic pulling on and off the road, and unexpected bad weather also challenge the driver's skills. And consider the impact a sleepy, distracted or otherwise impaired driver has on the chances of making it through that canyon unharmed.
Yes, you can point to driver error for most of the accidents in that canyon. Isn't that true of 99% of all accidents, wherever they occur? The circumstances you encounter when traveling Highway 6, make it a dangerous road. They intensify the effects of driver mistakes, leaving little or no margin for error.
I am appalled at the insensitivity and lack of empathy of the Highway Patrolman. He should have used this opportunity to warn people to slow down and make sure they are alert when traveling through the canyon. Why didn't he remind people of the dangers of the highway while the vision of the burning vehicle and the sorrow in our hearts for the family were fresh?

Braille and Moon: Tactile Codes
Braille is a great way for blind people to read and write.
Braille is just the alphabet and numbers, designed to be read by fingers rather than eyes.
Braille is for anyone who has or is likely to lose their sight and would find that using large print becomes difficult.
Braille can be learnt and used by children or adults to read and write pretty much anything! Braille is a code based on six dots, arranged in two columns of three dots. There are 63 possible combinations of the six dots.
Find out more
If you are blind or partially sighted, or you're support someone who is, we have lots of information about braille:
- Braille codes
- Reading braille
- Writing and producing braille
- Learning braille
- Braille music
- Braille books and products
- Braille past, present and future
Moon is a system of raised shapes, which can help blind people, of any age, to read by touch. As the characters are fairly large and over half the letters bear a strong resemblance to the print equivalent, Moon has been found particularly suitable for those who lose their sight later in life, or for people who may have a less keen sense of touch.

"Is there a good way to manage SQL views using Active Record?"
Check out the
rails_sql_views gem.
"Can I move a file or directory with git without having the history becoming disconnected (i.e have to use –follow)?"
Because of the way git stores files, this isn't really possible. One workaround is to use filter-branch to rewrite history to make it look like the file was never moved. However, you'd have to be careful and ensure that no one pushes the pre-filtered history to the repo after it has changed.

Louisa May Alcott in her mid-twenties, 1858. Photo courtesy of Louisa May Alcott's Orchard House/L.M.A.Memorial Association.Louisa May Alcott is recognized around the world for her novel Little Women, but few know Alcott as the bold, compelling woman who grew up in the innermost circle of the Transcendentalist and antislavery movements, served as a Civil War army nurse, and led a secret literary life writing pulp fiction. Louisa May Alcott was her own best character and her life was her own best plot.
Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women is a documentary film co-produced by Nancy Porter Productions, Inc. and Thirteen/WNET New York's American Masters, and a biography of the same name written by Harriet Reisen.
To support Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women, Broward County Library will present six programs from May through September 2011 that will re-introduce audiences to Louisa May Alcott's story. Louisa May Alcott programs in libraries are sponsored by the American Library Association Public Programs Office with the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Additional sponsors are the Florida Center for the Book, the Broward Public Library Foundation, the Friends of the Fort Lauderdale Libraries and WPBT2.
The scholar for the program series is Dr. Christine Jackson, a professor of literature, writing, and music history in the Farquhar College of Arts and Sciences Division of Humanities at Nova Southeastern University. Dr. Jackson holds a Ph.D. in American Literature.
The Broward County Library's public programs shed light on Louisa May Alcott by exploring her life and the historical and cultural context that inspired her remarkable body of work. Alcott's childhood was characterized by chronic economic difficulties and frequent uprooting due to her father's utopian experiments. Despite her family's financial hardships, Alcott experienced a rich intellectual life influenced by family friends such as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and Margaret Fuller. When slavery threatened the nation, the Alcott home was an Underground Railroad stop for fugitives; during the Civil War, Alcott wanted to fight, but as a woman she could enlist only as a nurse.
Through her writing, Louisa May Alcott passionately expressed her views on many of her era's ideas for social reform, including women's rights, racial integration, and education. During her lifetime, she produced an enormous body of work, including sensational thrillers, satires, fairy tales, Gothic novels, and works of domestic realism. Louisa May Alcott amassed her fortune with the success of her novels for young adult readers, helping her to prove that a woman could make a living as a self-trained and professional writer. Louisa May Alcott programs at Broward County Library will present a new understanding of the author and her place in American culture.

"We're very pleased that our library was chosen to receive a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities for programs focused on Louisa May Alcott," said Robert Cannon, Library Director.

Besides her best known children's novel, Alcott authored many other stories for adult audiences, such as Hospital Sketches, an account of Alcott's time spent as a Civil War nurse; and Behind a Mask, one of Alcott's recently discovered thrillers. Our library is excited to explore these little-known works, which provide a unique perspective on American history. We look forward to sharing the documentary and biography with our community."

Let's discuss promotion, an important art in today's media-mad world.
As for myself, in order to promote my blog, I haunt the neoned tattoo parlors up and down the coast of San Diego.
And I slip crisp 20-spots into the skinny jeans of the tattoo artists. With the implied suggestion that, rather than a highly tasteful fleur-de-lis slated for the small of their customers' back, they tattoo: Mellow Jihadi, instead. Good idea? It can't hurt, right?
After all, Ben Affleck has a tramp stamp of a dolphin. (Or is it a porpoise?) And don't forget this guy, a tattoo'ist, who tattoo'd a tattoo of something unpleasant on his cheating girlfriend's back (NSFW. Errr, literarily NSF for most Ws if read aloud.)
Why not this blog's name? Tattoo'd across the small or big of an unknowing back?
What do you think of Victoria's Secret mistaking Michigan State's motto? Do you think it was a real mistake or intentional, a couple of pop-rocks in the Coca-Cola? Some Mentos (the Freshmaker) in the Pepsi?
Let's explore three cases of promotion in the national news today.
For our first case study, we are going to stick with the t-shirt world. So close was this train-wreck to the Victoria's Secret boo-boo, that I am tempted to think that Old Navy is managed by the same geniuses. The facts:
Old Navy is joining the party with a series of women's collegiate T's that have the wrong founding years for three institutions.
T-shirts representing Iowa, Colorado and Arizona show that the founding years for each of those universities is 1820, 1878 and 1881 respectively. However, the real founding years for those schools are 1847, 1876 and 1885.
Very clearly, just like Victoria's Secret, Old Navy did not fact-check their products. Yes, they generated a lot of buzz from the slip-up, but it was not intentional.
Next stop, an old fashioned insult fight at the UFC:
Chael Sonnen knows how to start a fight. Though his sharp words are usually aimed at UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva, he turned towards UFC Octagon Girl Arianny Celeste when asked about her in an interview to promote the World MMA Awards.
He was asked who he is supporting for Ring Girl of the Year in the awards ceremony that will take place in Las Vegas on Wednesday.
"We only had one and that was Chandella Powell. The other was the IQ card girl. Arianny Celeste kind of walks around and holds up her latest test score. One time when there was a title fight, she got all the way up to five and we were very proud of her."
And he later added:
Seems easy to wear a bikini and seems easy to walk in a circle, but try walking in a circle while wearing a bikini. Talented girl.
I am going to throw the bs flag out over this one. A UFC fighter getting into it with a Ring Girl? No, this is staged promotion. Nothing more than some professional wrestling-esque publicity before the real wrestling-esque fighting. Shonnen does have some shadiness in his recent past, I imagine he is not above bringing it to work.
Our last promotion is the old, dyed-in-the-wool self-promotion of an athlete. Sean Combs' son, Justin Combs, is a 2-star football player, a cornerback out of New Rochelle, N.Y. And he just committed to UCLA. So he released a press release, of course:
"Today I am truly blessed and thankful to accept my scholarship and give my full commitment to UCLA. Playing Division I football was a lifelong dream of mine, and through hard work I was able to achieve it. I am a living testament that with a strong relationship with God, family, and hard work dreams do come true."
Hmm, okay. Seems hardworking and earnest, no? But then again, Diddy's son also said this during the Sweet 16 show on MTV:
"My dad is Diddy, and I'm going to take my throne as the prince of New York."
And then this on Puffy:
At one point, Diddy comes over to his son, who is trying on ridiculously expensive clothes, and stuffs a big wad of cash in his pocket. Combs' birthday bash is at a New York club called M2, where he's accompanied by his date, Nicky Minaj, and the affair culminates with Combs receiving a $360,000 Maybach with a personal driver. I didn't actually know what a Maybach was, but apparently it's a really, really, really nice car.
Promotion is a fine art. Whether through accident or overt, it can be effective or snort-worthy. Should you see someone with a Mellow Jihadi tattoo, congratulate them on their fine taste. Just don't tell them about me. . .

The Radical Camera: New York's Photo League 1936 - 1951
May 16, 2012 at
Drawing on the depth of two great collections, Columbus Museum of Art and The Jewish Museum in New York City collaborated on an exhibition of nearly 150 vintage photographs. The Radical Camera, a formidable survey of the Photo League's history and artistic significance premiered last fall at The Jewish Museum to rave reviews. The New York Times called The Radical Camera a "stirring show," and The New Yorker named the exhibition one of the top ten photography shows of 2011.
