Q & A with Wildlife Photographer Kevin Dietrich/
Kevin's love for the outdoors drove him from his blue-collar hometown of Buffalo, NY to the mountains of Steamboat Springs, CO. His keen eye for stunning wildlife and landscape imagery is inspiring. We got in touch to learn more about him and his creative process.
Tell us a little bit about how you got started in photography.
My initial interest in photography was in high school when I took an image of a Great Egret hunting in some wetlands in southern California with a disposable camera. The pure white of the Egret contrasted so well with the vivid green of the wetlands that it amazed me I could get that with a disposable camera. I still have the image somewhere in my desk. About 15 years after that image, I started to shoot photos again of wildlife. I purchased a small point and shoot and was impressed with the quality but the zoom was minimal. I then upgraded to a professional camera and a landscape lens. While photographing beautiful landscape opportunities I realized how much wildlife I was encountering. This prompted me to purchase a telephoto lens and the opportunities it opened up was impressive. I began traveling around the country in search of wildlife in natural environments and was soon addicted to the rush of capturing a moment of an animal surviving in nature. The addiction drives my daily routines and travel plans. I truly enjoy sharing my images with others as so many people are unable to travel or get out in nature as much as I can.
What is it that draws you to wildlife photography?
Wildlife photography is truly my passion. I am often approached to shoot various types of subjects other than animals. (people, weddings, real estate, babies, products, food, etc…) I turn those proposals down because there is nothing like photographing a wild animal in its natural environment. Each animal has a particular set of skills that allows them to survive in the wild. I am truly impressed with those skill sets and enjoy being able to study and watch those skills in action. Being able to learn the habits of an animal allows me to obtain better images of the subject. Sometimes, I am able to predict a pounce, a jump or some other indicator that allows me to capture a unique image. One of the biggest draws to wildlife photography is the reward I feel when locating an animal in the wild. Taking a long sunrise hike into a remote area alone is truly therapeutic for me. I'm often accompanied by my black lab, Sawyer. He has become so accustomed to seeing wolves, moose, elk, bobcats, etc… he has become my trusted partner. When we are able to locate an animal during one of our hikes, we both feel a sense of accomplishment. Once the animal is located, the fun begins as we attempt to capture an image.
What advice do you have for becoming a better photographer?
I'm always happy to share what I can with others about how to get better or more unique images. There is no secret to getting my images. I receive questions almost daily about how I got an image. I often sarcastically say, "Not from the couch". Then, I usually explain the story behind the image, which is what I enjoy most. Once the client or friend realizes the amount of time and effort I put into the photo, they appreciate it more.
I recently completed my fourth trip to California to obtain a bobcat image. I spent about a week each time from sunrise to sunset attempting to obtain a unique image of a bobcat. The moment finally happened on the last trip and the photo has been a client favorite ever since. I'm not able to share a lot of tips about photoshop or settings or technical stuff. Those are not my strong points as a photographer. I process my images very quickly and often send to print the same day. I certainly take the time to read up on all my gear and understand what all the settings are for, but I don't stress about the little details/settings. Just shoot!
From a technical aspect you need to learn your camera without having to look at it. When you have a subject in the frame you need to be able to change the settings such as exposure or shutter speed without looking down. This WILL create better images. If you're able to keep your eye on the subject and change your settings by feel, it increases your chances of capturing the special moment.
The only way to get incredible natural/wild images is to get outside and explore. I get up early and stay out in the field late looking for those truly amazing moments that happen in nature everyday. The more time you spend outside you more you'll see. I focus on certain subjects at certain times of the year. In Steamboat, the bears are currently enjoying a wet summer season and the berries are in full bloom. I'm conscious about where there are good berry patches and I focus my efforts on those areas which increases my chances of seeing and photographing them.
You have to be able to adapt and get out of your comfort zones often to find new species. I guess the bottom line is figuring out what animals you'd like to photograph, study where their habitat is and then be prepared to spend as much times as possible in their environment.
Walk us through your creative process. What happens before you click the shutter?
My creative process starts long before the image is taken. It starts with reading about a subject, researching where they live, scouting areas, looking at others images of the animal and making a plan on how to obtain the image I'd like. My goal is not only to photograph wildlife but to present in a manner that others have not seen before. Displaying an image of a bobcat is fun, but displaying an image of a bobcat doing something very few - if anyone - has ever seen before, is exciting. Once the homework is done I get out in the field and start searching for the animals. This may involve looking for tracks or signs on a tree, broken limbs and sounds. If everything works out, I'm able to find the subject and get into a position to photograph.
I often snap a few shots just to have documentation. Sometimes you only get one second and one chance. If the animal accepts your presence, then you can get more creative. This is when I start to look at the sun angle, background, foreground and anything else that will enhance the image. I feel too many photographers try to get too close to animals and they lose sight of the moment. Often the best photos are those that show the whole picture, not just the close up. Not only does the image get enhanced, the impact on the animal is less. I am truly a purist when it comes to obtaining my images.
I only photograph animals in the wild and without any baiting, calling or the use of hounds to track them. This allows me to be more focused and creative when I'm with an animal and the story I share with clients is that much better. It's unfortunate the amount of publications today that print images of captive or baited animals. Most consumers think those images are wild and most likely wouldn't support the image if they knew the creative process behind the image or lack thereof.
Do you have any upcoming workshops, books etc?
I'm currently working on a new book which will feature images and the stories behind them from Alaska to New York. I hope to have that out in 2015. We are also working on a new series of images that will focus on the other side of wildlife photography. It will be called the "Hunger Collection". These images will not be the mainstream images one usually sees in a gallery. They will be images that show how difficult nature can be. The survival of the fittest might be a good way to describe the collection. I am currently on permanent display at 509 Lincoln in Steamboat Springs, CO.
During the next 3 months, Kevin will also be traveling to Canada and California with hopes of obtaining some new species, including a spirit bear, lynx and grey fox. You can find more images and info about Kevin on his website.

Thought passage: Phil. 1:29, "For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake."
It is a given that Christians will believe on the Lord Jesus Christ but with God it is also a given that we will suffer for his sake. There seems to be a movement in churches today that if all is well with your relationship with Christ then no hardships will come. If this be true then the apostles must have had the worst of relationships with him. Beatings, imprisonments and peril followed them everywhere.

PROVIDENCE – Eight-year-old Estuardo Estrada of Providence stares up into the beady eyes of a Triceratops, a three-horned, plant-eating dinosaur that roamed the earth 65 million years ago.
Illuminated by overhead multi-colored lights, the beast's head – boasting the largest skull of all land mammals — suddenly moves from side to side, it's short, pointed tail wagging in unison.
The creature suddenly lets out a roar, startling Estrada and the crowd of other junior paleontologists standing nearby.
Wide-eyed and breathless, Estrada grips the hand of his stepfather Gabriel Vargas.
"Amazing," the boy whispers. "It looks so real."
"Looks so real" was probably the most common remark overheard at Discover the Dinosaurs, a walk-through interactive exhibit featuring 60 museum quality and animatronic dinosaurs and dozens of dinosaur-themed attractions.
The exhibit, which opened Friday at the Rhode Island Convention Center, features upwards of 10 scenes with each scene representing dinosaurs from a specific period of time. The scenes engage visitors with sight, sound and motion by using special lighting, sound effects, animatronics, and fog. The backdrops, rocks, flooring, and plant materials are all designed to bring people back in time to a landscape where dinosaurs lived.
Many of the non-moving dinosaurs are positioned safely throughout the exhibit, so children can touch and feel them. This is encouraged and a cornerstone of the Discover the Dinosaurs experience.
According to Brandon Riby, who works for the exhibit, the goal of Discover the Dinosaurs is to create a fun environment of learning and activity that explores the wonder and mystery of the earth's pre-historic past.
"The kids love it, but the parents not so much because the kids end up wanting to stay for hours and hours," says Riby. "It's really a great exhibit for the entire family, especially if you have little one who love dinosaurs."
Estrada, a student at the George J. West Elementary School in Providence, is one of those kids. Estrada knows all about dinosaurs and can quickly explain the difference between the Jurassic Period and the Cretaceous Period, and a Tyrannosaurus and a Trigonosaurus.
And which dinosaur has the longest name?
That, says Estrada, would be Micropachycephalosaurus, which means "tiny thick headed lizard."
"When we visit the Mount Pleasant Library he's always looking at books about dinosaurs," says Vargas. "When we saw the commercial for Discover the Dinosaurs on TV we knew we had to come."
The exhibit, which ends Sunday, also features several kid-friendly dinosaur-themed attractions, including a Dino Dig — a half dozen sand-filled stations where kids can brush away sand to reveal dinosaur fossils beneath. The kids can also pan for gems and fossils and explore a mine with a headlamp-equipped hardhat to find hidden rocks, gems and fossils in a darkened mineshaft.
For smaller children, there are dinosaur themed inflatables, face painting, a Dino Den and a mini golf course.
The Discover the Dinosaurs continues Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Rhode Island Convention Center, 1 Sabin St., Providence.
Tickets available at the door. Admission is exhibit only adults (13 and older) $17. Children (2-12) $12 exhibit plus children (2-12) $20. Seniors $15 Children 1 and under free.
Tickets for children includes the dinosaur exhibit, Dino Dig, Dino Den, Dino Theater, Dino coloring station, scavenger hunt, unlimited dinosaurs rides, mini golf, and inflatables.

Dr. Walter M. Snihurowych recently returned from a two week mission to Swaziland in South Africa, where he joined forces in "a back to school push" to fight AIDS.
Swaziland is located in the southern tip of South Africa, and is known for having the highest rate of AIDS cases in the world.
Swaziland is populated by approximately one million people, with 25.9 percent of the population infected with AIDS.
At the current rate of growth, AIDS will account for an 80 percent decrease in population within just a of couple years.
A few years ago, an initiative issued by George Bush and the Bill Gates Foundation sent money to fight AIDS in Africa. A study showed that the foreskin of males can trap and transmit the AIDS virus easily.
Thus a three week break from school was instituted, with the goal of circumcising as many 13 to 18 year old males as possible.
The project hoped to be able to perform 5,000 circumcisions in this three week period.
If their goal were reached, it could help reduce AIDS cases by 80 percent in just a couple of years.
Three U.S. base groups got involved to help with the growing problem. These organizations were Jhpiego (John Hopkins in Baltimore, IVUMED SLC (International Volunteers in Urology), and AUA (American Urology Association).
The mission of the AUA was to provide the physicians who would volunteer their time for this three week project. Three physicians from Utah stepped up to the plate, one of them being Dr. Snihurowych, the other two from the Salt Lake area. Dr. Snihurowych worked 8 to 12 hour days Monday through Saturday completing 173 circumcisions himself.
The nursing staff was a motivated and dedicated group provided by the local PSI (Population Services International). Their job involved assistance during the procedure and follow up care. The procedure was performed under local anesthesia under modest conditions, with the males reportedly eager to participate. The patients were to return in 48 hours after the procedure and again one week later. Dr. Snihurowhch reported they saw very few infections. This three week push resulted in 7,200 procedures, exceeding their goal of 5,000 by an additional 2,200. The extended goal is to circumcise 160,000 men in less than two years.
Dr. Snihurowych also reported that one half of the women who show up for prenatal care also have AIDS. Ten percent of the population are orphans due to their parents having AIDS. Currently 61 percent of the deaths in Swaziland are due to AIDS.

When: Thursday, December 8, 7:00 p.m.
Opponent: vs. Tampa Bay (11-14-2)
UPDATE: Martin St. Louis took a puck to the face this morning and isn't likely to play tonight. (1:05 p.m.)
UPDATE: Henrik Lundqvist will start for the Rangers. (11:15 a.m.)
EARLIER: The Rangers were dealt a crushing blow on Monday when Dion
Phaneuf rocked Michael Sauer with a huge hit that concussed New York's third
defenseman in the closing minutes of the team's first home loss since October
Sauer is considered "day-to-day," but his family
has a history with concussions and if Marc Staal has taught us anything,
it's that there's no such thing as a timetable when it comes to recovering from
head injuries.
In Sauer's stead, Anton Stralman will play
is second game for the Rangers - his first since November 23rd.
Stralman will be paired with Jeff Woywitka while Steve Eminger returns to his old spot alongside Michael Del Zotto, who is OK after
suffering an equally awful looking hit at the conclusion of Monday's game.
Tampa Bay has lost five games in a row, but given New York's
defensive situation it can't be a comforting thought that Martin St. Louis,
Steven Stamkos and Vincent Lecavalier are members of the Rangers' next
Dan Girardi and Ryan McDonagh have ceded a bit more ice-time
to Del Zotto and Sauer lately, but they may both end up with season-highs in
minutes on Thursday night.
This also could be a game in which the Rangers need Henrik
Lundqvist to deliver one of his vintage performances as the team tries to adapt
to another blow to its shorthanded defense.
Unlike in the past, however, New York has the firepower to
win even if Tampa Bay's stars are able to take advantage of the Rangers'
undermanned defense.
The Blueshirts have scored four or more goals in four of
their last six games and have begun to display the makings of an explosive
The G.A.S. line is again flying with a combined five goals
and six assists in its last three games and Brad Richards has led the second
trio with four goals and six assists in his last six games. New York has also received strong
supplemental offense from the third line of Carl Hagelin/Brian Boyle/John
Mitchell over the last two weeks and has scored power play goals in four of its
last five games.
The Blueshirts struggled to contend with Toronto's speed on
Monday, but previously they had won five straight concluding with a three-goal
third period that capped a come from
behind victory against Tampa Bay on Saturday.
The Lightning has received atrocious play from goalies
Dwayne Roloson and Mathieu Garon this season and may be forced to pull the
trigger on a trade if the Rangers expose them again.
The sense of panic over Sauer's injury is palpable, but the
Rangers have still won 12 of their last 15 games and their balanced attack
could be enough to carry them despite being shorthanded defensively.
- Mike Rupp participated
in a full practice on Wednesday morning with the Blueshirts, but was still
wearing a non-contact jersey. Rupp says
he's "not
far from battles" and could be nearing his return.
- Andrew Gross reports that the Rangers have instructed
their players not to comment on the New
York Times' story on Derek Boogaard.

text: The leaves on this plant were just turning their fall colors when white stuff showed up on Friday and Saturday. While hail, rain and little doses of snow hit the valleys, the high country in many places got slapped with a white coat of winter which will inevitably speed the color change process. In many places trees were dropping branches and some limbs snapped off above 10,000 feet.

Heads of Laboratories
M. Magda Konarska, Ph.D.
Evelyn Gruss Lipper Professor
Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Biochemistry
Faculty Bio
The first step in the synthesis of proteins is transcription of RNA. But in all eukaryotes, between the time when RNA is made and when it is translated into proteins, it often undergoes a process called splicing, when certain parts of the RNA (called introns) are cut out and the remaining sequences (called exons) are joined back together. How RNA splicing occurs, and the interplay between splicing and transcription, is the subject of Dr. Konarska's research.
Using a combination of yeast genetics and biochemistry, Dr. Konarska is interested in what happens to messenger RNA before and as it is spliced. More specifically, her laboratory is interested in how the spliceosome (the large complex responsible for splicing catalysis, composed of hundreds of proteins and five small RNA molecules) is formed and how it functions; i.e., what happens at the catalytic center of the spliceosome during the removal of introns. Dr. Konarska also examines the connection between RNA transcription and splicing.
Multiple interactions between the different proteins and RNAs of the spliceosome are important for creating an active catalytic site for splicing. The splicing process requires a series of conformational rearrangements of the spliceosome that affect its assembly, catalysis and disassembly. In collaboration with Charles Query at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Dr. Konarska has recently formulated a two-state model of spliceosome function, according to which structural conformations that define the two catalytic steps exist in competition with one another. This model suggests remarkable similarities between the mechanism of function of the ribosome (another large ribonucleoprotein complex, which catalyzes protein synthesis) and the spliceosome. In both cases, equilibrium between conformational states can be modulated by many factors, including, but not limited to, specific contacts between the RNA substrate and the enzyme.
The spliceosome is able to act on suboptimal splice sites, especially in higher eukaryotes, but to an extent also in yeast. According to the two-state model of spliceosome function, selection of suboptimal sites may be improved by many factors that modulate the relative stabilities of conformational states of the spliceosome. Many mutated forms of various spliceosomal proteins affect splicing in this way, as may alternative splicing factors that improve splicing of certain entire classes of introns. A separate project in the lab looks at other molecules (RNA or small chemical molecules) that stabilize specific conformations of the spliceosome. These molecules would functionally resemble ribosomal antibiotics that inhibit translation by binding to the ribosome and stabilizing one of the two alternative conformations. Once identified, such "splicing antibiotics" would provide tools for biochemical and structural studies of the spliceosome and may have therapeutic applications.
Although Dr. Konarska's research addresses the basic function of the spliceosome and the mechanism of splicing catalysis in yeast, these findings elucidate general properties of splicing in all eukaryotes, including humans. Therefore, these results help scientists understand not only the splicing of canonical introns, but also of those that undergo the alternative splicing typical of mammalian cells. In this way, Dr. Konarska's research may help uncover the etiology of multiple genetic disorders resulting from changes in alternative splicing patterns of specific gene transcripts. In addition, a better understanding of RNA splicing may shed light on the origins of life, as some models propose that the earliest organisms used RNA or an RNA-like molecule rather than DNA as their genetic material.
Dr. Konarska was born in Poland and received her M.Sc. in genetics from the University of Warsaw in 1979. In 1983, she received her Ph.D. in biochemistry from the Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw. She joined the Center for Cancer Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) as a postdoc in 1984 and became a research associate at MIT in 1987. Dr. Konarska came to The Rockefeller University as assistant professor in 1989 and became associate professor in 1994 and professor in 2000.
In 1992, Dr. Konarska received the Monique Weill-Caulier Career Scientist Award. She received the Lucille P. Markey Scholar Award in 1987 and the Jakub Karol Parnas Award of the Polish Biochemical Society in 1985.
Dr. Konarska is a faculty member in the David Rockefeller Graduate Program and the Tri-Institutional M.D.-Ph.D. Program.

Polar bears are important not only for their beauty but for being at the top of the Arctic food chain. But pollutants carried to the High Arctic by winds and ocean currents threaten the bears - another victim of climate change.
Ireland's largest bookmaker Paddy Power are taking bets on the estimated global polar bear population on 31 December 2011 according to the world's largest independent conservation organization, the WWF.
An historic agreement signed in 1973 which obliges artic states to protect their polar bear populations, is forcing countries to take action against climate change to prevent further degradation of polar bear habitats.

New companies ordinance expected to take effect in 2014
Rewriting the Companies Ordinance (CO), Hong Kong's primary corporate statute, was no doubt a long and arduous process. The work, which was started back in 2006, eventually began to bear fruit when the Companies Bill was finally passed by the Legislative Council on 12 July 2012 and gazetted on 10 August 2012, following at least five rounds of public consultation.

Bet you never knew that Pakistan has a beer brewery. Murree Brewery was established in 1860 by Great Britain to brew beer for their thirsty troops:
Faisal Mahmood, Reuters — Murree Brewery, established in 1860 by British colonial rulers to supply beer to their troops, is desperately looking for business overseas to hedge against its uncertain domestic market. Prohibition was imposed in Pakistan in 1977. Non-Muslims and foreigners must obtain a government permit to purchase alcohol at designated retailers which are mainly upscale hotels.
I'm not a beer drinker, but surely there is a distributor in the States for this product?

I do not know who this is, but it's a ridiculously awesome beard.
Rambling is an acceptable form of time consuming behavior, associated with people who do not know when to shut their mouth during conversations involving other people, at which point the other people are no longer investing their attention into said conversation.
I am a rambler, in real life. I can talk the ears of a billy goat. I know this and still can not control it, sometimes. I do try to keep a quick mind to the realization that I talk way to damn much and way to damn loud.
Southerners are famous, or should be, for rambling. Now a ramble is different than a lie, though a ramble might not be 100 percent accurate, it still is no lie. A lie is an inaccuracy with the intent to dishonor ones character in an attempt to create greater honor towards another persons character. In rambling, there is never an intent to deface another persons character or, for the rambler to be an asshole. Because liars are assholes. Side note, I just misspelled "liers", that is terrible because I take much pride in my powerful and world renowned spelling prowess. Damn it, guess I will have to do some math problems to make myself feel better.
Back to rambling. Ramblings might been the truth, but the events and people are factual. Here is a way to know if you are talking to a rambler, but you are not sure. If there are side stories of the people involved in the main story which the rambler tells in route to the finale of the main story, they be a rambler.
If the person uses numbers in the story, and one particular number is more prevalent, they a rambler. Example: "Ya'll, we went frog giggin last night and we tore them up. We started at six that night and by dark, which was at 830, I had done drank a 12 pack. Thats bout when we got started and by 930 we done gigged 26 frogs and one six pound bass. I got me a knew giggin pole and its six foot tall ya'll. Hell by, 1100 we done gigged a 36 quart cooler full of frogs, seen sixteen cotton mouths and bout a 60 pound turtle."
This happens. There are more subtle ramblers, in fact, most ramblers aren't that bad.
Ramblers usually use lots of hand gestures. I don't know many "quiet" people who have active hands when they speak. But ramblers, you better give'm a five foot buffer or you're liable to get smacked.
Ramblers smile alot and make eye contact. Eye contact keeps people more involved in the conversation that the rambler is dominating. Smiling makes the eye contactee, feel less intimidated by the eye contacter.
If you do not know a person like this, visit the south. We have plenty. Don't worry though, they are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. But you better have an out, because if you stand and listen, they have enough stories to keep you there forever. Ramblers will never run out of stories.

45WLA Hand Clutch, Foot Shift & Gear Indicator
This pic is a bit dark but you should still be able to see the cable end in the clutch fork. (I shortened the clutch a bit to gain adequate movement)
Use a heavy section clutch cable if you can. You'll find there will be reduced 'stiction' between the inner and outer of the cable.
I just used an accessory clutch lever and with the standard WLA clutch the lever pressure was quite light.
The combination of foot shift and hand clutch was very easy to use but you can very easily go from 1st gear through to 3rd until you develop some feel in your 'shifter' foot. Setup properly the action is very smooth.

Featuring two eye cutouts, a nose and an evil grin, this unhinged fruit can be displayed for as long as you desire and it won't get any more rotten than it already is. Measuring more than a foot high and more that a foot and a half wide, it is the size of a large pumpkin. In the back, the bottom half is cut out so you can place it over a fog machine or a strobe light.

General Board / Renege Job Acceptance? Need Help!« on: December 14, 2010, 04:55:14 PM »
Ok, so her
2L job search / Renege Job Acceptance? Need Advice« on: December 14, 2010, 04:54:04 PM »
Ok, so here is the deal. I accepted a job offer for the summer in mid-October. I am happy with the job but it is a couple hours away from where I live and go to school. I am married and my wife is in graduate school too. Recently, my wife told me she wanted to pursue medical school. Unfortunately there is not a medical school in the city where I will be working this summer. My main concern is that I will be working in a position at a firm, earning money, but ultimately realize that I will not be able to accept a permanent position with them. I have only been told that they intend to hire full time who they have hired for the summer. Whether or not its true, I am going to assume they will offer if I do well. The problem is that if I accept my wife and I will be apart for 4 years. Also, to make things more complicated, I have no idea if she will get in and she will not even know how she did on the MCAT until next October. This means, if I do receive an offer, it will be in August and I will not know if she has a shot at getting in until October. My assumption is that she will, she has a 3.9 as a biochem major. I was kind of blindsided by her wanting to do this but I would never tell someone not to do something. On one hand, I don't want to be away for four years assuming she gets in and I get the job and on the other hand I do not want to work there and waste their investment if I don't think I could accept a position. Any advice? Is this an ethical reason for reneging on my acceptance? I honestly did not see this coming and would need to find another job here but it would be worth it for me. Any advice?

Read: How An Amnesty Buyout Could Change The Structure Of Some Teams
At ESPN Insider, Craig Custance writes that if an amnesty buyout is indeed part of the final CBA agreement, it could change how a lot of teams are constructed now and give other teams some new flexibility.
He writes, "Many of the rosters currently constructed are the result of long-term planning under a system that could soon be obsolete. We don't know what the cap number is going to be. We don't even know for sure how salaries will be counted against the cap. "
In the National Post, Michael Traikos writes that the following players could see themselves get bought out due to their contracts, Dany Heatley, Scott Gomez, Wade Redden, Rick DiPietrto, Sergei Gonchar, Ilya Bryzgalov, Marty Havlat, Vinny Lecavalier and Keith Ballard.
The NHL proposed a "Wade Redden rule" that wouldn't allow teams to keep players in the minors to take them off the salary cap.
According to Larry Coon, the NBA's amnesty clause works as follows "One player can be waived prior to the start of any season (only one player can be amnestied during the agreement, and contracts signed under the new CBA are not eligible). The salary of the waived player will not count toward the salary cap or luxury tax. Teams with cap room can submit competing offers to acquire an amnestied player (at a reduced rate) before he hits free agency and can sign with any team."

Born Standing Up: A Comic's Lifeby Steve Martin
Staff Pick
At times uproarious, often sentimental, and always laced with the wit and charm we've come to expect from Steve Martin, this is a warm and enjoyable portrait of his life in stand-up from childhood to his last show in 1981.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In the midseventies, Steve Martin exploded onto the comedy scene. By 1978 he was the biggest concert draw in the history of stand-up. In 1981 he quit forever. This book is, in his own words, the story of "why I did stand-up and why I walked away."
Emmy and Grammy Award winner, author of the acclaimed New York Times bestsellers Shopgirl and The Pleasure of My Company, and a regular contributor to The New Yorker, Martin has always been a writer. His memoir of his years in stand-up is candid, spectacularly amusing, and beautifully written.
At age ten Martin started his career at Disneyland, selling guidebooks in the newly opened theme park. In the decade that followed, he worked in the Disney magic shop and the Bird Cage Theatre at Knott's Berry Farm, performing his first magic/comedy act a dozen times a week. The story of these years, during which he practiced and honed his craft, is moving and revelatory. The dedication to excellence and innovation is formed at an astonishingly early age and never wavers or wanes.
Martin illuminates the sacrifice, discipline, and originality that made him an icon and informs his work to this day. To be this good, to perform so frequently, was isolating and lonely. It took Martin decades to reconnect with his parents and sister, and he tells that story with great tenderness. Martin also paints a portrait of his times — the era of free love and protests against the war in Vietnam, the heady irreverence of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in the late sixties, and the transformative new voice of Saturday Night Live in the seventies.
Throughout the text, Martin has placed photographs, many never seen before. Born Standing Up is a superb testament to the sheer tenacity, focus, and daring of one of the greatest and most iconoclastic comedians of all time.
"Neatly combining his personal and professional worlds, beloved comedian, filmmaker, author, magician and banjoist Martin (Pure Drivel) chronicles his life as a gifted young comedian in this evocative, heartfelt memoir, which proves less wild and crazy than wise and considerate-though no less funny for it. The typically reticent performer shares rarely disclosed memories of childhood-his father, a failed actor, harbored increasing anger toward his son through the years-and the anxiety attacks that plagued him for some two decades, along with his early success as a television comedy writer, first for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, and the evolution of his stand-up routine. Sharp insight accompanies stories of his first adult gig (at an empty San Francisco coffee house), his pioneering 'no punch lines' style ('My goal was to make the audience laugh but leave them unable to describe what it was that had made them laugh'), appearances on programs like The Steve Allen Show and breakthrough moments with small, confused audiences. Though vivid and entertaining throughout, Martin doesn't dish any behind-the-scenes dirt from Saturday Night Live or The Tonight Show; rather, he's warm and generous toward everyone in his life, including girlfriends and colleagues. Tellingly, this intimate early career recap ends not with Martin's decision to give up live performance or his film debut The Jerk, but with a visit to his parents and Knott's Berry Bird Cage Farm, where he first performed as a teenager." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Steve Martin has become such a reliable and (if we can just blot out the memory of his Clouseau film) such a beloved figure in film and TV that it's hard to recall that time — roughly the second half of the 1970s — when he was one of America's first great counter-countercultural comedians. Somehow, when we least expected it, the politically barbed satire of Lenny Bruce and George Carlin was supplanted... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) by a banjo-strumming 'rambling man' who wore an arrow through his head and repeatedly assured us (as if we doubted him) that he was wild and crazy. With his yokel grin and his white three-piece suit, Martin delivered an act that was willfully silly and weirdly wholesome and, by design, politics-free. More than that, content-free. Like Andy Kaufman, Martin was a funnyman who made it his business not to be funny. ('Okaaay,' he crooned as each joke came splatting to earth.) As he himself writes in this touching and modest memoir, his act was 'a parody of comedy,' in which he was 'playing an entertainer, a not so good one.' It shouldn't have worked, but it did — resoundingly. With the help of 'Saturday Night Live,' whose ascent mirrored and abetted Martin's own, and best-selling comedy albums like 'Let's Get Small,' Martin planted himself so squarely in the zeitgeist that soon there was no getting around either him or his King Tut dance. (Even the squares were swept along. My high school guidance counselor surprised me one afternoon by letting loose with Martin's signature cry: 'Excuuuuuse me!') Then, in 1981, at the peak of his arena fame, Martin walked away. Not into the sunset, but onto the Hollywood soundstage, whose hermetic confines have suited him so well he's remained there ever since. It's a quiet existence he leads now: collecting art, penning humor pieces for the New Yorker, churning out family movies on the order of 'Cheaper by the Dozen 2.' He is, by all reports, eminently cultured, a former philosophy student, a patron to painters. Who can blame him for looking back on that long-ago tumult as 'the war years'? He enlisted young: an Orange County, Calif., kid, selling guidebooks at nearby Disneyland, 'my Versailles.' The Disney magic shop beckoned, and by the time he got to high school, he was doing magic tricks for local Boy Scout troops and Kiwanis clubs — and keeping rigorous tabs on his act. ('Relax, don't shake,' he advises himself in one early memo.) He moved on to repertory work at Knott's Berry Farm's Bird Cage Theatre, where at the age of 18, he made a signal discovery: 'I had absolutely no gifts. I could not sing or dance, and the only acting I did was really just shouting.' But he had perseverance, and he had 'the one element necessary to all early creativity: naivete, that fabulous quality that keeps you from knowing just how unsuited you are for what you are about to do.' For a time, he made a decent living as a gag writer for the Smothers Brothers and Sonny and Cher, but Martin wanted his own spotlight. So ensued a long comic apprenticeship through the muck and mire of folkie basements and Playboy clubs and sad, sad, empty bars where the waitresses were the only ones laughing. 'I gave myself a rule,' he remembers. 'Never let them know I was bombing: This is funny, you just haven't gotten it yet.' The one who really didn't get it was Martin's father, a stymied actor who took every chance to belittle his son's achievements. ('He's no Charlie Chaplin,' growled Dad after the release of Martin's feature film debut, 'The Jerk.') Only on his deathbed was the older man able to confess: 'You did everything I wanted to.' 'I did it for you,' Martin answered. But the truth was something more bittersweet: 'I did it because of you.' We know by now that Martin is a real writer. If anything, his well-praised comic novels ('Shopgirl,' 'The Pleasure of My Company') have such airtight prose there's almost no way into them. 'Born Standing Up,' by contrast, has some wheel-spinning, moments of bland sociology. ('Vietnam, the first televised war, split the country, and one's left or right bent could be recognized by haircuts and clothes.') And yet on the whole I prefer its rawness, its essentially found nature, if only because, after more than three dozen movies, Steve Martin's soul can at last be seen — a fraction of it, anyway, peeping through the clouds. 'I have heard it said that a complicated childhood can lead to a life in the arts,' he writes, before adding, with characteristic understatement: 'I am qualified to be a comedian.'"
