The Life Instinct: unification, the eternal return, the perpetuation and MAINTENANCE of the species, survival systems and operations, equilibrium.
– Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Manifesto for Maintenance Art, 1969!
Last May, when I wrote MAINTENANCE #1, I quoted the interview Bartholomew Ryan did with Mierle Laderman Ukeles, for Art In America in 2009. Maintenance, she told him, "is trying to listen to the hum of living. A feeling of being alive, breath to breath." That's still my lodestar for this column.
I write fiction most of the time, at Bookslut I write a reading diary on different themes, and here I write about specific solo publications – the reading I do, and bump into doing, here in Chicago. I write about "the people [the writers, the editors, the publishers] who are taking care and keeping the wheels of society moving." I try to pay attention. Here where Our Scene is so rad and vibrant but also so segregated by neighborhood, schools, tone, etc., this is something we can always fail better at.
Instigated in conjunction with "The Locational Turn? Reflections from Chicago on documenta in Kassel, Alexandria, Banff and Kabul" panel discussion held November 13 (2013) at the Block Museum on Northwestern University.
by Daniel Tucker
Anyone who tries to generalize about "the art world" owes you an explanation about which world they are describing. While there is undoubtedly overlap between major institutions, mid-sized institutions, high-end commercial galleries, universities, art schools, community colleges, apprenticeships, auctions, internships, craft galleries, non-profit galleries, informal and community-based cultural centers, residency programs, private philanthropists, collectors, public grants, magazines, theoretical journals, blogs, public art commissions, street art, artist collectives and individual artists – they can still seem worlds apart.
One world that can seem worlds apart is that of the Documenta exhibition, founded in 1955 by Arnold Bode, to occur every 5 years and reconnect post-war Germany to the contemporary art conversations and practices developing internationally. Produced by the documenta and Fridericianum Museum Event Company which provide the ongoing organizational infrastructure to keep the project going, the exhibition is largely guided by a curator. This position is akin to "being the mayor of a small city," according to Michael Rakowitz, a Chicago artist exhibiting in this years show (1). In 2008 the search committee arrived on Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev as the curator, and she began her work on January 1st, 2009 re-inventing what has become over the last 13 incarnations, a crucial node in the intellectual and critical discourse of art around the world – itself producing conversations, catalyzing careers, and generally generating trends that will be talked about in years to come (in Chicago over the last year at the MCA, SAIC's Sullivan Galleries and U of C's Logan Center Exhibitions there have already been three exhibits of re-worked pieces shown at documenta13). In the summer for 100 days, from June 9th to September 16th of 2012, over 300 artists, writers, and thinkers participated in documenta13 in Kassel, Germany.
In 2012 a remarkable number of Chicago artists were invited as participants. Theaster Gates (with John Preus and Rebuild Foundation), Claire Pentecost, Michael Rakowitz, and Lori Waxman are all exhibiting works. A number of Chicago-based authors produced texts for the 100 Days 100 Books portion of the programs including Brian Holmes, WJT Mitchell, David Nirenberg and Jane Taylor. To have this many participants from one city would be unusual, but for it to be a city so detached from the commercial facets of art selling (gallerists, collectors, auction houses, etc) and so oriented towards political, community, and socially-engaged art is what makes the decision stand out.
Locally there has been a thriving art community in Chicago that is focused on strong social bonds, engagement with concerns and disciplines that exceed the focus of art, and political and ethical commitments around themes ranging from war and labor to housing and food. This has a long history in the city, dating back to the 1960s in terms of direct lineages with existing practices. It has developed in a particular and regionally-specific way, while art since the 1980s more generally in the United States has experienced a gradual engagement with political and social life. All over the country, but particularly on the coasts, there are art schools and universities initiating "Social Practice" focus areas for students interested in art that deals with social forms as a material in place of traditional art materials and mediums that have come to include clay, video, performance, paint, photography, sculpture, murals, and interactive websites, among many others.
Through my study of Chicago, I have observed that this turn towards "the social" is less of a turn, and more of a ever-present fascination. It has also been observed today, as well as in reflections on history that the work in Chicago has always been more serious than elsewhere. In a dialogue held at the South Side Community Arts Center, respected photographer from the Black Arts Movement Bob Crawford spoke to his experience doing a photo show in New York City, where he observed that "the Chicago photographers' work was usually more political. And the New York photographers' work was a little more "art,†narrowly."(2)
Deeply familiar with the Chicago artists and authors participating in documenta13, I traveled to Kassel last summer to see their work and consider my hometown art scene in relationship to this massive global event. Below are a few scenes from that trip.
Jorg Doerig's friends and family have joined him to go have his art critiqued. They pack into a small self-contained room, a sleek writers cottage of sorts, where Jorg unpacks his paintings of flowers, and a self portrait, and layes them out on some shelves and leaning against the wall along the floor. It was time for his appointment with the Chicago Tribune art critic and art historian Lori Waxman, who had been taking half-hour appointments with local artists in Kassel three days a week all summer. Over the visit she asks some questions, but mainly gives her attention to interpretation of the art.
"Why Paint?," she writes in response to Jorg's work. "For love of certain subjects." She concludes.
To watch her type (a mirror of her laptop monitor is displayed on a screen facing the artist and a steady-stream of passer-bys) is akin to watching a live poetry reading. Nothing else can compare to the experience of watching someone invest herself in the creative practice of another. While art criticism has become a game so detached from the making and the maker, Waxman reinvests herself in people and their artistic output. And she herself is on display, revealing the writing process, her process.
Most artists Waxman critiques in this project, titled "60 WRD/MIN Art Critic," have never had their art written about. For the most part she has executed this project in smaller towns throughout the United States with the support of a writers grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation. In these settings, her presence incites tremendous excitement.
She consults an online thesaurus. What is a synonym for "Lovingly"? Jorg stirs, he smiles and looks around at his friends. What a strange experience, to have someone craft language before your eyes about your heartfelt and time-consuming creative activities.
In "What Dust Will Rise?" Michael Rakowitz presents an entire room of enclosed vitrines and display tables immediately conjuring the space of a museum, a special collection or an archive. Upon closer look, you notice handwritten notes in thin black marker ink on the glass panes of the display shelving. Like many artists in this installment of documenta, Rakowitz engages in the legacy of the Nazi presence in Germany and in the present military operations and occupation of Afghanistan. The building in which his installation is presented, the Fridericianum, was a library when it was bombed in 1941 and all but 15% of the books were destroyed. The artist elegantly draws a parallel between that sited history, infusing it in the present, with the interrelated history of Taliban destruction of cultural artifacts in Afghanistan – most notably the Buddha statues in Bamiyan.
Presented on the tables I encounter replicas of books destroyed in that bombing, carved out of stone quarried in Bamiyan by artisans Rakowitz commissioned in Italy. Proceeding through the space, books from other bombings, fires, and cultural assassination appear. Many of the books were original printings with intricate woven and printed cover art, shown here in rich three dimensional carvings of the cover, spine, and worn pages – all beautifully carved with precise details. Other books take the form of an open spread, drawing attention to the content through subtle and surprising connections with the form or the act of destruction that inspired the installation. Others, like the oldest lexicon of classical medieval abbreviations, are just devastating because of what they contain, and what knowledge and culture was lost.
Surprise is the crucial word for this experience. As I proceed from case to case and book to book, I keep thinking that I have comprehended the scope of the artistic gesture. And then the next object or collection startles me. He did what? I think. He really brought some building fragments from dismantled public housing in St. Louis, the Twin Towers, and the Berlin Wall? Yes. Stone carving chisels from Bamiyan made from the remnants of exploded cars and abandoned tanks belonging to the occupying forces? Yes. Surprise after wonderful surprise, the installation unfolds with linkages and nuances that dispel an attempt at easy summary, but provoke curiosity in an unwritten narrative about our ongoing human projects of creation and destruction, war, imperialism, pre-modern and modern.
A highlight of the exhibition, this surprise echoes the best parts of documenta13, an exhibit without an overarching theme – forcing each work to be viewed for what it is.
Entering from the garden into the narrow glass doors on the side of the Ottoneum, I am excited to see the work of Claire Pentecost in such an ideal location. Prominently and symbolically located in the the first theater built in Germany, now serving as the Museum of Natural History, the installation is the entrypoint for an entire building full of works about seeds, science and ecology – one of the most coherent sub-themes within this massive and themeless exhibition.
Pentecost produced this work in residence at The University of Kassel Faculty of Organic Agricultural Science in Witzenhausen and following her participation in a soil workshop at the Rodale Institute in Pennsylvania.
The outcome is a multi-modal installation all centered around a proposed currency called Soil-Erg. She made dozens of drawings with pencil and mud, illustrating a heterogeneous paper money version of Soil-Erg, each depicting a different ecological scene or significant activist and research figures working with food and science. Above the two walls of paper currency, are differently sized medallions of soil. The elaborate tables at the center of the room are piled up with ingots of soil, reminiscent of fantastical gold stashes from Indiana Jones or Fort Knox.
Along the back wall is an intervention into the museum's collection – a move made by a number of artists who found inspiration in the specificity of the temporary exhibition venues. On the left there is a glass display unit from the collection of the Otteneum that shows slices of soil from different depths of the earths crust. To the right, Pentecost fabricated a similar companion unit that serves as a compost pile that will accumulate over time. The insides are equipped with microphones and through use of a headset you can literally hear the energy, heat and process of the decomposition of organic waste. On one wall of the unit, a hand-written chart depicts the phenomenon of corporate land-grabbing in the global south where North American and European companies are buying up massive farm land and even creating "soil farms" throughout Africa and Latin America.
Pentecost's participation in documenta13 is itself heterogeneous. She is one of the few exhibiting artists who also made a book for the 100 Books 100 Days project, she gave a number of lectures and workshops, made a video for the website dealing with the importance of seeds to culture, and was an instructor at the summer retreat on the theme of "retreat" at the Banff artists residency in Canada.
The immersive "12 Ballads For Huguenot House" is spearheaded by Theaster Gates along with his design collaborator John Preus, studio manager Theo Boggs, and a rotating cast of staff from his non-profit Rebuild Foundation. Walking into the house, I immediately feel a complex social energy. People buzzing around, up and down the stairs, posting schedules for the day's activities and consulting with one another about what the morning has in store. The video and audio pieces scattered throughout the 2nd and 3rd floors of the building are still being switched on, and some people just waking from bed. Art tourist's are poking their heads into the sleeping quarters, asking the people clearly in bed, "do you sleep here"? The Huguenot House is undoubtedly alive with real humans and the art pieces themselves were just a small component of the overall project. It may have one artist's name attributed to it, but something this alive is the work of many.
Mobilizing people to invest in places and buildings is one of Gates' strengths. The building at 25 Friedrichsstrasse in Kassel had been empty since World War 2. Under very different historical forces, there are homes in Gates' neighborhood in Chicago, Grand Crossing, that have also been abandoned for decades (though not quite as long as in Germany). As a crucial facet of his participation in documenta13, a deal was made where a house in Chicago would be purchased and its wooden and metal guts would be converted into objects to repopulate the building in Kassel and at a later date visa versa, forming a kind of architectural material exchange. This insistence that elite cultural institutions should subsidize projects in the places where he lives and works (which has now grown to include a number of Black communities throughout the midwest through the work of Rebuild Foundation) is something Gates unabashedly names in his public presentations.
And in the case of Hugenot House, this subsidy to Chicago cultural possibilities that lie in the future of that local project, have been reciprocated with real life-force being breathed back into the long abandoned building. Throughout documenta, it has been the site of performances, daily yoga classes, community meals and what are said to be the best parties in Kassel every Wednesday night throughout the four months of the exhibition.
Conclusion: The Rematerialization of the Art Object?
As Paul Chan, another participating artist with Chicago ties, commented in a recent interview during documenta, "It is a funny time in art when making something quiet is seen as radical."(3) The expectation has been implicitly fostered through curation and critical writing that new art needs to be participatory. It is not dissimilar from trends in governance and commerce – participation is the key to the hearts and minds!
As a counterpoint to this trend, these four projects start from complex social problems and engaged in the social processes necessary to activate and engage those problems, and then they made art objects and forms. Finding material resolutions to distill the complexity of the world into a form is one of the contributions artists have historically made to the societies in which they live. The work presented at documenta13 by Chicago artists produces a productive challenge for the debates around socially-engaged art practice and its treatment in educational and art presenting institutions. Formalist reactionaries now commonly antagonize participatory art with the same odium as was applied to performance artists in the decades past while Social Practice fundamentalists claim that objects are dead and process is the new vanguard. Perhaps these artists show a third way, a marriage between the qualities artists have long attempted to capture with material forms and the complex social processes necessary to engage the complex social world in a meaningful way.

Of Murals and Morals: One View of Twin Cities
November 14, 2013 · Print This Article
It has turned cold. Recent mornings here have felt more like February than November. The nights grow ever longer. As we prepare to turn inward, to tuck ourselves away during the coming winter months, I typically want to rest my oversaturated mind, find peace from the overwhelming and inescapable cavalcade of cultural production and consumption. I have instead found myself invigorated by and seeing anew through an analogy from Jean Cocteau.
In a translation by Richard Howard, Cocteau writes:
The mechanism which imposes upon us the beauty of a picture, or, more correctly, the combination of lines and volumes capable of moving us, results from a phenomenon analogous to what triumphs over our intelligence when sexuality speaks. A kind of psychic sexuality provokes a moral erection comparable to the sexual one in that it functions without our control and gives immediate proof of the effectiveness of the forms and colors likely to convince a secret part of our organism.
I gravitate toward artwork that can only be consumed through time, that makes me think, that forces my mind in new directions and challenges my notions of what the world is. I know how to live with that work outside its context. I know how to carry it around with me as it informs the rest of my life because it has already existed in my mind through successive moments. I have a harder time knowing how to live with artworks that are immediate, nebeneinander. It might thrill me to my core, but where does it live in my brain when I leave? Why does it still influence me as I continue through my days? Its momentary nature belies its potential impact. The moral erection, the immediate, nonrational responses I have to those works shifts that impact away from my rational mind to a place I cannot see, a place all the more profound because it is unplumbable.
I can tell myself I love this video because I love doughnuts and state capitols, but my reaction lies beyond any simple intellectual explanation. I can tell myself that I love this recently completed mural for how it erases the Machado poem or that I can balance my sincere and ironic appreciation of the eagle, but, again, those explanations fall short of what happens when I see it.
I am, of course, reminded of other times I leave my rational mind behind. Cocteau sprang to mind as I was overwhelmed by the moonlight when I took the trash out last night, the light far more sublime and mortality-inducing than beautiful. He was with me as I woke from a dream that has haunted my days, my unconscious mind imprinting my waking life. He is with me as I sift through the numbing plenitude of the internet, finding flashes of light in the darkness that tug at something.
Humans have evolved to block out sensory inputs; unlike dogs we are no longer so overwhelmed by the smell on a tree that we drop everything to investigate it. We can use that saved brain power and energy to explore the mysteries of the universe, but, increasingly, we must develop ways of ignoring the hundreds of words, the thousand of sounds, the millions of things trying to grab our attention in order to know that mysteries still exist.
I hear Cocteau calling us back to a moment when we felt the psychic sexual thrill of seeing the first painting that called to us, the moral erection of that song that still stirs our heart. He reminds me to pay attention when I feel stirrings that work beyond my rational brain, past the barriers that I put in place to manage the onslaught. More than a silly or dismissive way to explain away what we like, he reminds us that the experiences that move us precisely because we cannot explain why they do are necessary and important to our complete health as mental, physical, emotional, and aesthetic beings, all the more so as the culture that confronts us screams that it is as profound and fundamental to our well being as that kind of experience.
At the very least, he sheds light on why I continually respond to and deeply love the mural I pass every day that for one reason or another hits me like a…

Jim Svoboda, a finalist for the Frank Broyles Assistant Coach of the Year award in 2005, is in his first season as UCLA's offensive coordinator and his third season as UCLA's quarterbacks coach.
"Jim possesses an outstanding offensive mind and has a great feel for the game," said head coach Karl Dorrell when announcing the promotion. "He has done a tremendous job of working with our quarterbacks the last two years and did a fantastic job as a coordinator prior to coming to UCLA. I know our offense will continue to flourish under his supervision."
A year ago, Drew Olson enjoyed a record-setting senior season. Olson ranked among the nation's leaders in passing efficiency (fifth at 161.6), touchdown passes (second at 34), passing yards (3,198) and total offense (26th at 262.5). He set several school records, including touchdown passes in a season, most consecutive passes without an interception in a season (199) and touchdown passes in a game (six).
In 2004, Olson thrived under Svoboda's tutelage. Olson ranked fourth in the Pac-10 Conference in passing efficiency (132.39) and his 20 touchdown passes ranked fifth on UCLA's all-time single-season list. Olson's 2,671 yards of total offense ranked sixth on that single-season list. His total of eight touchdown passes in a two-game span tied another record.
Svoboda, a past winner of the Division II Offensive Coordinator of the Year award, came to UCLA after spending the previous 10 seasons as the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, MO. During his time at NWMSU, the Bearcats won national championships in 1998 and 1999 while his offensive units ranked among the most potent in NCAA Division II and in the MIAA (Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association) conference. In addition, his teams broke more than 50 individual and team offensive records during his tenure. In the 2003 season, the Bearcats averaged 236 passing yards per game and posted an 8-3 record.
Svoboda's 1998 and 2000 offensive units led all of Division II in scoring. In 2000, the Bearcat offense topped the nation by scoring 537 points, averaging 48.8 points per game. The squad also ranked third nationally in total offense with a mark of 492.4 yards a game.
In 1998, the Bearcats averaged conference-best marks of 46.4 points and 482.4 yards per contest and won 15 games. The passing average of 283.3 yards per game also led the league that season. Svoboda was selected the 1998 Division II Offensive Coordinator of the Year by American Football Coach Magazine. In 1999, NWMSU ranked 13th nationally in total offense with a 422.9 yard average.
During his time at Northwest Missouri, Svoboda had six of his offensive players either drafted or signed by NFL teams, including offensive tackle Seth Wand, a third-round pick of the Houston Texans in the 2003 NFL draft and quarterback Chris Greisen, a seventh-round selection by Arizona in 1999. NWMSU had final national rankings of second, third, second, fourth and first between 1996 and 2000 with a record of 63-5 and five MIAA conference titles. In a six-year span (1996 and 2001), his offenses averaged over 40 points and 450 yards of total offense. He won six different conference championships with four different quarterbacks and a pair of national championships with different signal callers.
In October of 2000, quarterback Travis Miles set an NCAA record by completing 21 of 23 passes for 305 yards, including 18 consecutive completions. His efficiency rating of 182.4 ranked 14th all-time in Division II (entering the 2003 season). Greisen (1995-98) ranked 12th all-time in career passing efficiency for Division II (150.9).
Prior to joining the staff at Northwest Missouri, Svoboda was the head coach and offensive coordinator at Nebraska Wesleyan University (Lincoln, NE). He compiled a 52-19 record (.732 winning percentage) in seven seasons at Wesleyan from 1987-93 and established over 30 team and individual offensive records. He was named the Nebraska-Iowa Athletic Conference Coach of the Year following the 1988, 1989 and 1990 seasons and his teams were ranked among the nation's top five in the 1990, 1991 and 1992 campaigns.
Svoboda, a 1983 graduate of Northwestern (Orange City, IA) College (he played running back), has also served as running backs coach at Eastern New Mexico (Portales, NM) University (1985-86), assistant football coach at Nebraska Wesleyan (1986), offensive line/strength coach at Dana (Blair, NE) College (1984-85) and running backs coach at his alma mater (1983). He earned a Master's of Science from Eastern New Mexico in 1986. He is married (Susan).
RECRUITING RESPONSIBILITIES -- Local / California: San Fernando Valley, Ventura County; National: St. Louis area, Kansas CIty area and quarterbacks.
PERSONAL -- Education: Bachelor's in Psychology, Northwestern (IA) College, 1983; Master's of Science, Eastern New Mexico University, 1986; At UCLA: Third year (joined staff Feb. 25, 2004); Born: June 23, 1960 in Honolulu, HI; Family: Wife, Susan.

It looks like the people at KPIX CBS-5 had it right last year when they repeatedly reported on the "parking hustle," which involves people posing as lot attendants and pocketing some quick cash. Some parkers, such as Shane, get major bummed when they find out later on that they also need to pay the parking lot owner.
Why don't people pay the actual real attendent? Because there isn't one on duty in most cases. Why? Because that would cost money. But the folks over at Central Parking have found a way to warn drivers by posting a photo of one of the alleged imposters. How thoughtful.

Visual Monitoring System of Project Budget
The Vico Office Cost Explorer tree structure view clearly visualizes the cost breakdown of a project budget by presenting cost categories as nodes in a tree. These nodes are color-coded based on their status compared to set targets. The cost breakdown scheme can be based on an industry standard classification structure, on Locations, or any other custom breakdown structure defined by the user.
The graphic presentation of cost is a powerful control tool. The color-coded system indicates to and alerts project team members and stakeholders when a cost component is over budget (red), within range (yellow), on budget (green), and suspiciously low (blue).
This effective communication system enables the users to quickly identify where in the project cost variances and over-budget situations exist, and makes it easier to understand at which point in the decision making process an overrun situation originated.
In the integrated Vico Office Environment, the cost breakdown components are automatically associated with the model elements they refer to. As a result, when selecting any node in the breakdown structure, the related elements in the 3D model are immediately highlighted, providing clear visual feedback on which 3D elements are involved in a cost change.
For each node of the cost breakdown structure, a set of target costs can be defined in the Target Cost Editor using cost values or percentages of the overall budget. The level of detail of the target cost can be augmented gradually throughout the project's life cycle, increasing granularity and accuracy on the fly. Once a target cost set has been specified, the current project cost can be compared to set targets to analyze and monitor the project's budget.
Cost Explorer provides effective and highly detailed comparison capabilities, which enable users to identify variations between cost estimating versions at a glance, track cost drivers, and assure tight control over changes. You can easily access any cost version and compare its content with the target costs or any other cost version.

The Rockbox firmware alternative for the iPod and other MP3 players
Rockbox firmware brings new features to the iPod and a few other MP3 players. We'll show you how to install Rockbox on an iPod, and with a little tinkering, you'll have the ability to play Ogg Vorbis files, customize the user interface, and add plug-ins.
Over the past few years, Apple's iPod has taken the market by storm, mutating from a simple MP3 player to a lifestyle object. Not all the standard firmware functions are popular with users, however. Something particularly annoying is that the iPod totally lacks some features, such as the ability to play Ogg Vorbis-formatted files.If you don't mind a little tinkering, you can talk your iPod into doing some things that Apple never intended it to do.
To help you rock your iPod, the Rockbox project offers a firmware product called Rockbox. Rockbox has several features that the iPod lacks, for example, the ability to play Ogg Vorbis files, the ability to customize the user interface, and the option of extending the default software portfolio with plugins.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: A very good,no-frills race.In full: Sad to hear it's future is in jeopardy,as I'll certainly miss it if it goes.It's a great Autumn half:no frills-just a varied,challenging race that offers something to runners of all standards.The course starts and finishes in the suburbs of Maidstone,but the scenery along the Pilgrim's Way is great and there was plenty of appreciative crowd support and friendly marshalls and water stations etc.Minor negatives:the "goody bag" was a bit of a misnomer and more importantly,the finish was "sloppy" and needs to be much better marked.It was very hard to tell where the line was and I saw several people stop running before they'd reached it.At heart,it's a good,old fashioned club race and God forbid that these kind of races disappear and all we're left with is the hideous "Nike Run London" type of commercial operation.Date of review: October 19, 2008
In short: Must now be the best half in KentIn full: So much about this race is top class:fantastic views over the sea,top class marshalling,great goody bag,great PA at the end,excellent and growing crowd support,"interesting" course.It was decidedly warm today,which made the last few miles very hard-and that hill is an absolute killer.When you reach the top,there's another mile or so of "gentle" incline which really finished me off today !Agree with the only 2 points for improvement-a race of this size needs more toilets and the 1st water station-especially on a day like today-needs to come earlier.However,taken overall,it's a "cracking" half marathon.Date of review: September 28, 2008
In short: Nice race...but nothing specialIn full: A perfectly reasonable 10K,for a good cause.Good rural course-certainly undulating but none of the hills were that difficult.Nothing made it really stand out,so a solid,average sort of race that was a good test,but probably won't stay in the memory.Date of review: September 21, 2008
In short: Different-but very enjoyableIn full: A tough,muddy open cross-country run.There aren't many of those about,so it's a very welcome addition to the calendar.As it was it's first staging,none of us really knew what to expect.There were a couple of steep,rocky downhills-where you had to keep your wits about you-and one savage uphill at around halfway.Due to the not-so-glorious Summer we've had,it was very muddy and slippery in places-but that added to the fun !I wasn't particularly bothered about the exact distance,the lack of mile markers etc-it's not that kind of race and even-pacing was out of the question due to the sheer variety of the course.I thought the marshalling was fine and there was a good atmosphere before and after the start.Let's hope it becomes a regular event.Date of review: August 24, 2008
In short: Challenging,low key 10KIn full: Great venue for a 10K and a really "interesting",varied course.Don't let anyone kid you it's "undulating",it is most definitely "hilly" and you should factor that into your expected finishing time.Low key,with a relatively small field,which actually makes it more enjoyable for the runners.Well organised and friendly and best of all (from a personal point of view) near enough to home for a lie-in and a gentle jog to the start !Date of review: July 13, 2008
In short: Very enjoyable all round.In full: Lots of exceptional touches:bottled water and sports drink at the water stations;varied,challenging course;great selection of cakes and a brass band at the finish.The overall package is very good value and the race is genuinely different.The course is pretty quick up to mile 10,but those hills at the end were tough !Overall,I really enjoyed it and sincere thanks to the organisers and all those involved for putting on a really special event.Date of review: July 6, 2008
In short: Still No.1-and getting even better !In full: I find the NDR difficult to rate objectively-it is so damn good that normal criteria go out the window !The course itself,the way the course is marked out and prepared,the amazing marshalls and other helpers (where on earth do you get them all from ?) and in fact,the whole "package",are simply off the scale.It has been my favourite race of the year for some time now,and it just keeps getting better-even though it really does make me ache in places that no other race will manage until next year's NDR !The free cakes at the end,the top quality tee-shirts,the barbecue and bar etc just add to what is,for my money,the best race I've ever entered.Never mind "one of" my all-time favourire races,this is the one.Date of review: June 15, 2008
In short: Outstanding race with a unique flavour In full: If I wanted to introduce a new runner to the sheer joy of racing,this is the one I'd choose.It manages to combine serious competition at the front in both the men's and women's fields,with amazing support and enjoyment for every runner.It's a great Saturday afternoon out,with a top atmosphere both during and after the race.Thanks to all at HHHH-you put on one of the "must do" races on the calender.Date of review: June 8, 2008
In short: One very tough courseIn full: It's already been said:excellent organisation,great crowd support (which is really appreciated)and a very,very tough course.I quite like hills (!) but the one at mile 10 was really hard work.Emphatically not a PB race,but a real challenge and great preparation for the NDR.Date of review: May 25, 2008
In short: As good as ever.In full: I've done this most years since 1996 and it remains one of the best halfs around.It's an excellent race across the board-accessibility,parking,organisation etc although it's never as fast as you think it should be.It's almost too flat,if that makes sense,as it's too easy to go too fast in the early miles and pay for it later.It's still one of the best halfs around and I thought the crowd support was more plentiful and vocal than ever this year.Date of review: March 30, 2008

Read Bangkok Hotel Reviews
Read more about Thailand and Bangkok on GoNOMAD
Just about any visitor to Southeast Asia has to pass through Bangkok. Some people loathe it; others swear it is one of the most fascinating, wonderful and exciting places on earth.
Truthfully, Bangkok can be anything a visitor wants it to be; a picturesque Asian postcard crammed with beautiful palaces, and pagodas; a haven with some of the world's finest hotels; a place to let loose and enjoy the most renowned nightlife in the Orient; a chance to savor one of the world's unique cuisines; one of Southeast Asia's best shopping destinations.
And wherever you go in Bangkok, you'll be struck by the friendly, easy way of Thais. Life is sanuk, their word for fun. And with an insider's view of this fascinating city, you will find it sanuk, too!
Although Thai history reaches back to the Bronze Age, Bangkok is a relatively young city, founded in 1782. It has one-tenth of the country's population, about six million people, half under the age of thirty. The city is embraced by the Chao Phraya River of Kings, a glorious working waterway filled with sampans, rice barges, and boats of every imaginable description.
Buddhist temples (wats), high-rise office buildings, luxury hotels, and shopping malls dominate a kaleidoscopic Bangkok skyline blend of old and new. But get beneath the thin veneer of Western influence, and you'll discover Thais have not lost traditional values. Witness ubiquitous street food vendors, monks on early morning begging rounds, and women stringing jasmine blossoms near shrines, and you'll agree ancient culture has been reserved. READ MORE

If you press alt-up and alt-down in the cursor jumps vertically through the document while staying within a column. Its movement seem unpredictable but I'm sure there's a use for it. Anyone know what it's for?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Mar 20 '11 at 7:26
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
If you are talking about option↑ and option↓, then the movement is probably to the beginning and end of paragraph. That is the standard Mac OS X key binding. I'm not sure how TextMate defines paragraphs, but that would be my guess.
It is "column movement." In some contexts it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but when you have columns of data it works quite nicely to jump to the top and bottom of the column.
Use it with shift to make a columnar selection, allowing you to easily write the same thing to every line.

Reduce restrictions on the creation of new toll roads and actively encourage more public-private partnerships, urge the authors of the final report to Congress by the National Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing Commission.
Released this morning, the report is the result of two years of work by the commission, which was charged with analyzing highway needs and making recommendations regarding federal financing of transportation infrastructure. It addresses the need to reallocate the Highway Trust Fund authorizations, the surface transportation law that expires Sept. 30.
The report includes nearly a dozen short-term recommendations (including an increase in the federal gas tax) as well as several long-term recommendations (including a system that charges motorists for their usage of the nation's roads based on vehicle miles traveled, or VMT).
"The biggest problem we have is that we're doing a reasonably decent job of maintaining our system, but we're completely failing in improving the system," says Geoffrey S. Yarema, one of the 15 members of the federal commission. "Large capital projects are being deferred indefinitely in many cases. We're going to increase amount of money that will be apportioned to states on an annual basis (to be allocated for both capital expenditures and maintenance expenditures), but we also want to give states money for new projects."
Although the proposed gas tax hike and the federal mileage-based system are likely to draw the biggest criticism from the public, the recommendations are designed to help infrastructure managers at both the state and local levels by allowing them to raise their share of revenues from the usage of state and local roads as well.
"The technology we anticipate for this system is going to be very robust," Yarema says of the proposed VMT system. "Among the capabilities will be to allow state and local governmental units to piggyback on it cost-effectively, but there needs to be a mechanism to adjust for inflation and in a depoliticized way. Requiring state and local governments to come up with their own systems gives them as much flexibility as we can."
Yet the commission doesn't stop there with its recommendations.
"With the expected shift to more fuel efficient vehicles," says commission Chair Robert Atkinson, "it will be increasingly difficult to rely on the gas tax to raise the funds needed to improve, let alone maintain, our nation's surface transportation infrastructure."
Among the other options available to states and local governments would be easier and quicker ways to raise necessary funds for toll roads and the ability to charge premiums for rush-hour travel on major metropolitan highways. The commission is recommending that Congress reauthorize the federal credit program for surface transportation commonly known as TIFIA (Transportation Infrastructure Financing and Innovation Act of 1998).
"It's very difficult getting initial funding for the planning and design process of capital projects," Yarema tells PUBLIC WORKS. The commission is proposing a new $1 billion-a-year incentive program by which state and local governments would apply to the U.S. Department of Transportation on a competitive basis for up to 50% of the initial funding needs.
The commission is recommending:

Papaya is often called a wonder fruit for all its great properties. It is a nutritional storehouse and has effective digestive enzymes. Often nutritionists ask you to increase your fruit intake and papaya is often on that list. Papaya contains numerous minerals and chemicals, flavonoids as well as carotenoids. This fruit is believed to also promote improved cardiovascular health and protect from colon cancer.
This fruit is considered so full of health benefits that it promotes digestion, builds the immune system, prevents constipation, can lower inflammation, can reduce pain from burns especially if the skin of the papaya is used, can prevent heart disease, complications from diabetes and atherosclerosis.
Papaya is also a good source of fiber that helps bring down cholesterol.
There is no perfect time to enjoy a fruit but it is best eaten before a meal as after a meal the body converts the fruit into sugar while before a meal you absorb all nutrition.
Papaya, botanically known as carica papaya, is a rich source of vitamins, minerals and fiber. Papaya is rich in vitamins A, B and C, minerals including magnesium and potassium, and roughage. Hence, papaya has a lot of health benefits on account of its nutritional content. One of the benefits of papaya is in that it helps with weight loss. How can one use papaya for reducing weight?
Papaya is a rich source of an enzyme called papain. This enzyme helps in increasing your metabolism, thereby helping in weight reduction. As such, papaya for weight loss is highly recommended. Papaya is also considered a negative calorie food, which means that it calories in papaya are low, but consumes a lot of calories for its digestion. These additional calories for the digestion of papaya are generated from the stored fat in the body, thereby helping you with weight loss. Papaya is also a rich source of fiber, which helps maintain the normal state of the digestive system. It also helps prevent and treat constipation and flatulence. The fiber also helps keep you feeling fuller for longer, making you eat less.
If you plan on eating papaya to lose weight, make sure you complement it with a regular fitness regime and a healthy, balanced diet.
Everybody wants to maintain smooth, healthy, youthful and glowing skin. In most cases, unhealthy or dull skin is a result of poor eating habits and a weakened digestive system.Poor nutrition and the accumulation of harmful toxins in the body are the main reasons for dull skin. One common solution for all these disorders is papaya. In order to make use of papaya for skin care, you can also apply the papaya pulp on your skin in addition to eating it regularly.A unique enzyme in papaya, referred to as papain, has a considerably positive effect on the digestive system. Its regular consumption performs all the functions necessary for maintaining a healthy skin: it eliminates the toxins from the body, treats constipation, and greatly helps in proper digestion.Most beauty care professionals recommend papaya for skin care. In addition to using papaya for glowing skin, you can use papaya for skin whitening as well, if you feel that your skin is turning dark due to over exposure to sun or pigmentation.
In order to make best use of papaya for skin care, mix one teaspoon of honey with about 100 gm of papaya pulp, and apply it to your face. Keep this mask for 15–20 minutes and then wash with cold water. This is one of the best home remedies for skin care, and it will solve all your skin related problems including acne and black heads.

Follensby Pond
One thousand-acre Follensby Pond, is considered the largest lake owned by a private individual in the northeastern U.S.
Follensby Pond
Follensby Pond drains into the Raquette River.
The Nature Conservancy today announces its purchase of Follensby Pond in New York's Adirondack Mountains. This 14,600-acre property of mixed northern hardwood forests borders the state's largest wilderness area, the High Peaks, and includes more than 10 miles of meandering frontage on the Raquette River, one of New York's longest rivers. Its centerpiece, 1,000-acre Follensby Pond, is considered the largest lake owned by a private individual in the northeastern United States.
The property has been lovingly cared for and enjoyed by the McCormick family, of Manchester, Vermont, for more than five decades. After looking at several parcels in the area, John S. and Bertha "Bird" McCormick purchased Follensby Pond in 1952. Today's sale to The Nature Conservancy reflects their deep-rooted connection to the lakes and forests and fulfills the family's wishes to keep them intact and largely wild.
"It is a beautiful piece of property, and the solitude it offers is absolute. We've had so many wonderful experiences there. Bird taught our children and grandchildren how to fish and led them on nature hikes," said Mr. McCormick.
"The significance of Follensby Pond is well-documented and today's announcement is one for the history books," said Pete Grannis, Commissioner of New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. "We applaud the McCormicks and The Nature Conservancy for taking measures to protect this special place."
"The sheer size of Follensby Pond, the undisturbed quality of the wetlands, and the vastness of the surrounding forest landscape make this tract of land extremely memorable and important for conservation," said Mark Tercek, president and CEO of The Nature Conservancy. "This striking area will now be protected for future generations, thanks to the McCormick family's many years of stewardship."
"John and Bird McCormick first gave me a tour of the property many years ago. Along the way, they identified wildflowers and trees and shared tales of fishing. They also showed me the guestbook, which included an entry from President Calvin Coolidge," said Michael Carr, Executive Director of The Nature Conservancy's Adirondack Chapter, based in Keene Valley. "It's been an honor to work together to protect such a wonderful place."
Follensby Pond drains into the Raquette River where a 20-mile stretch of silver maple floodplain forest is considered to be the best example of that natural community type in the Adirondacks and among the best in the state. The quiet, slow-moving backwater pools associated with that largely undisturbed stretch of river also earned high ranks in a three-year Nature Conservancy study which assigned local, state, and global rankings to approximately 102 natural community types found in the Adirondacks.
Visited 150 years ago by Ralph Waldo Emerson and other 19th century scholars, Follensby Pond stands today as a symbol of Transcendentalism, the American-born philosophy that emphasizes the intuitive and spiritual over the empirical and holds nature in high regard. Such thinking, expressed in art and literature by Emerson, William James Stillman, Louis Agassiz, and other intellectuals, helped to transform America's relationship with nature.
"The philosophers' camp at Follensby may have been as much intellectual firepower—in the humanities and sciences—as ever gathered together in the U.S., at least under the open air. What one would give to have been privy to those conversations. In due time, we'll all be able to see the scene that inspired them so," said Bill McKibben, author and Middlebury College scholar-in-residence.
Emerson wrote about the excursion in his poem "The Adirondacs" and Stillman captured the scene on canvas. The latter hangs today in the Concord Free Public Library in Massachusetts. According to Leslie Wilson, curator of special collections, many people from around the country make special trips to the library just to see it.
In the 1950s Follensby Pond was one of the last places in the Adirondack Park with nesting bald eagles. At that time, bald eagle populations were plummeting, leaving just one unproductive pair in the entire state by the mid-1960s, and landing the species on the endangered species list. The decline was linked to habitat destruction and DDT, a pesticide put into use nationwide in the 1940s. After studies confirmed the pesticide's effects on calcium levels and egg viability in raptors, its use was outlawed by the federal government in 1972.
That ban gave wildlife biologists hope that populations could recover. Follensby Pond was selected as the only site in the Adirondack Park where bald eagles were reintroduced, a process known as "hacking." New York State Department of Environmental Conservation endangered species unit leader Peter Nye led the effort in the 1980s. "Follensby was an ideal location because it had suitable habitat for current and future use by the eagles, was free from human disturbance, and good for nesting," he said, adding that it was "a place where eagles could be eagles."
In 1981 Nye traveled to Alaska, one of the few places in the nation where eagles were abundant, to collect eaglets unable to fly, but old enough to regulate their temperature and tear and eat fish without parental assistance. As many as 60 eaglets were released at Follensby Pond over severalyears, including one the McCormick grandchildren named "Emerson." Today, the 12 nesting pairs of bald eagles in the Adirondacks are a testament to the success of those efforts.
"It was wonderful and fitting to see a bald eagle soaring above Follensby Pond this summer. It reminded me of nature's resilience and filled me with hope for the future," said Meredith Prime, chair of the Conservancy's Adirondack Chapter board of trustees.
Follensby Pond, in Tupper Lake and Harrietstown and bounded by "forever wild" state land to the east, north and south, is listed in the New York State Open Space Conservation Plan. That plan, updated every few years with public input, provides a "blue print" for the state's land protection efforts. The Follensby listing, added in 1992, is consistent with the McCormicks' vision for their property.
"My wife was a true conservationist, and together, we've long envisioned Follensby one day becoming a part of the publicly-owned Forest Preserve," he said. "I have every confidence that The Nature Conservancy and New York State will work together over the next few years to make that happen."
Hunting clubs currently lease the property. Out of respect for hunting as a traditional recreational activity, Mr. McCormick and The Nature Conservancy agreed to continue the five leases for the next several years.
The property is not open to the public. "We know that many people are eager to visit Follensby Pond, but ask that the public be patient as we work through the transactional and transitional details," said Mr. Carr.
"With more and more water resources being protected and made available to the public in recent years, Tupper Lake is booming with paddlers. They come from all over and are helping to fuel the economy. I can understand why TNC is not opening the property right away. As soon as the public can go there, however, it will be a boon to Tupper Lake," said Robbie Frenette, owner of Raquette River Outfitters, named Tupper Lake Business of the Year in 2005.
The 200,000-acre High Peaks Wilderness links the Follensby tract with some of the former Finch, Pruyn lands purchased by The Nature Conservancy in 2007. Both land conservation efforts contribute to the Adirondack Park's dynamic history as a place where people and nature can co-exist.
"The Adirondack Park is not your typical park with a gate and an entrance fee. It is a much more interesting place because of its combination of vibrant communities and protected lands—all within a day's drive of major metropolitan centers like New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia," said Mr. Carr.

The Adirondack Chapter, based in Keene Valley, New York, currently employs a staff of 25 and, with today's announcement has protected more than 571,000 Adirondack acres since 1971. The Chapter is also a founding partner of High Peaks Summit Stewardship Program, dedicated to the protection of alpine habitat, as well as the award-winning Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program, which works regionally to prevent the introduction and spread of non-native invasive plants.

Dan Bilefsky
Oscar Ortega
Dan Bilefsky is a correspondent based in London. He was previously a reporter based in Paris, where he covered, among other stories, the 2015 terrorist attacks on the satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo and a kosher supermarket.
From 2008 to 2011, Mr. Bilefsky was based in Prague, where he reported on eastern and central Europe, the Balkans and the Baltic states. In 2010, he and a Times colleague, Doreen Carvajal, investigated the whereabouts of Ratko Mladic, a Bosnian Serb who was suspected of war crimes for his role in the Srebrenica massacre of 1995, and had been on the run for 15 years. Mr. Mladic was arrested the following year. The two were awarded a New York Times Publisher's Award for their work.
From Prague, Mr. Bilefsky also covered the independence of Kosovo and the war between Russia and Georgia, in 2008; the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, in 2009; and the plane crash that killed Poland's president Lech Kaczynski, in 2010. He also wrote about a sex and corruption scandal in the Czech Republic, chronicled blood feuds in Albania and wrote about a former neo-Nazi in Poland who became an orthodox Jew.
Mr. Bilefsky has reported frequently from Turkey. In 2012, he wrote a series of articles on the challenges to human rights in the country.
From 2011 to 2012, Mr. Bilefsky covered Queens as a metropolitan reporter for The Times. He covered a bizarre case in which a man sexually assaulted his girlfriend, and then framed her for a series of brazen crimes that had never taken place.
A native of Montreal, Mr. Bilefsky studied history and literature at the University of Pennsylvania and received a master's degree in European politics and society at Oxford. He started his journalism career at The Financial Times before joining The Wall Street Journal in Brussels, where he covered politics, terrorism and the European beer industry. He joined The International Herald Tribune (now The International New York Times) in Brussels in 2005.
Mr. Bilefsky is a passionate food enthusiast and an amateur musician.
