Beneath California's scenic landscape lies a strange and dark side, full of spine-tingling tales and frightful imagery. Creepy California: Strange and Gothic Tales from the Golden State explores the disturbing and macabre stories of unexplained deaths, intentional live burials, true crimes, and ghosts who haunt the Pacific Coast. This spooky collection includes the extraordinarily odd, like the account of a coroner, who "borrowed" the stylish clothes of one dead man and even sold the corpse's head to a doctor for scientific research, and the paranormal, like the tale of a haunted, two-story house in San Francisco that was moved across town in an effort to dislodge its ghostly tenants. The attempt failed, and the San Francisco Chronicle commented that "the neighborhood has been kept in a constant dread and torment by unearthly groans, mysterious lights, and agonized shrieks emanating from their dread habitation."
An intriguing and terrifying look at the disturbing side of the state, Creepy California promises to send chills down your spine and keep you looking over your shoulder.
Keven McQueen is an instructor in the Department of English at Eastern Kentucky University. He is the author of numerous books, including The Kentucky Book of the Dead, Murder and Mayhem in Indiana, and The Axman Came from Hell and Other True Crime Stories.
"A fun primer on California's macabre and eccentric history. These little known stories provide a window not into an alternate California, but into what many of us who were born and bred here consider to be the real state under the modern glitz and glamour."

Following an incredibly fun Hains Point century ride on Saturday, we were able to announce that, thanks a generous program supporter, donations to the WABA Women & Bicycles program through the end of the year will be matched up to a total of $4,000.
This means that, in the next five days, we need your contribution. You can donate to the program, which will aim to get more D.C.-area women on bikes, here.
Why is getting more women on bikes a critical cause?
- In 2012, women represented just 22.7 percent of cyclists on the road in D.C. According to DDOT, that's a slight drop since 2011.
- In Women on Wheels, April Streeter writes, "New bike commuters are overwhelmingly male. Data reviewed by researchers John Pucher and Ralph Buehler show that almost all of the recent growth in cycling in the united states recently can be attributed to men between 25 and 64 years old. Pucher and Buehler found that cycling rates are just holding steady for women, and have fallen sharply for children."
- Our women's bicycling forum identified three top barriers for getting women on bikes: safety (fear, safety concerns, inexperience/confidence, harassment), logistics (facilities, time commitment, weather, gear, money), and perception (misconceptions, double standards, and professionalism).
How is WABA going to fix these problems through the Women & Bicycles program?
- Ten "Roll Models" will be selected to mentor women in their friend, family, church, and work groups
- Roll Models and mentees will be invited to a series of bike dinner parties, group rides, and workshops that will mix practical advice and conversation about how to incorporate cycling into one's lifestyle with socializing and low-key hanging out.
- Non-participants will be kept abreast of the program, so they'll learn more about the issues facing women on bikes and be inclined to encourage their friends and family to bike, regardless of gender.
We don't want to sit around and talk about what's discouraging women from biking, so we've created a program centered on peer-to-peer encouragement, information, and experience through events. Your support will ensure that we can make the dinner parties, group rides, and workshops that we've planned out happen successfully, and that we can reach as many women as possible. If you contribute before the end of the year, the $4,000 match grant will make your money stretch even further.
At 9:30 a.m. today, $705 had been donated to the Women & Bicycles program. Donate now and your dollars are worth double.

A covenant, in its most general sense and historical sense, is a solemn promise to engage in or refrain from a specified action. Under historical English common law a covenant was distinguished from an ordinary contract by the presence of a seal. Because the presence of a seal indicated an unusual solemnity in the promises made in a covenant, the common law would enforce a covenant even in the absence of consideration.[1] In United States contract law, an implied covenant of good faith is presumed.
A covenant is a type of contract in which the covenantor makes a promise to a covenantee to do (affirmative covenant) or not do some action (negative covenant). In real property law, the term real covenants is used for conditions tied to the use of land. A "covenant running with the land", also imposes duties or restrictions upon the use of that land regardless of the owner. Restrictive covenants are somewhat similar to easements and equitable servitudes, leading to some discussion about whether these concepts should be unified;[2] the Restatement (Third) of Property takes steps to merge these concepts as servitudes.[3] Real covenant law in the United States has been referred to as an "unspeakable quagmire" by one court.[4]
Covenants for title are covenants which come with a deed or title to the property, in which the grantor of the title makes certain guarantees to the grantee.[5] Non-compete clauses in the United States are also called restrictive covenants.

In property law, land-related covenants are called "real covenants" and are a major form of covenant, typically imposing restrictions on how the land may be used (negative covenants) or requiring a certain continuing action (affirmative covenant). These may also "run with the land" (called a covenant appurtenant), meaning that any future owners of the land must abide by the terms, or may apply to a particular person (called a covenant in gross).[5] Under English law, affirmative covenants typically do not run with the land; in the United States such covenants are examined more closely, but with exceptions affirmative covenants have been permitted to run with the land.[6]
The covenant may be shown in the deed and should be disclosed to prospective purchasers; it may also be recorded, or in the case of Commonwealth countries shown in Torrens title. Real covenants and easements or equitable servitudes are similar[7] and in 1986, a symposium discussed whether the law of easements, equitable servitudes, and real covenants should be unified.[2] As time passes and the original promisee of the covenant is no longer involved in the land, enforcement may become lax.[8]
Covenants may be imposed through homeowner associations, and controversy has arisen over selective enforcement.[citation needed] Historically, particularly in the United States exclusionary covenants were used to exclude racial minorities. Some covenants exist for safety purposes, such as a covenant forbidding the construction of tall buildings in the vicinity of an airport or one restricting the height of fences on corner lots (so as not to interfere with drivers' sight lines). Covenants may restrict everything from the height and size of buildings to the materials used in construction to superficial matters such as paint color and holiday decorations. In residential areas, covenants may forbid "dirty" businesses (such as feedlots or chemical production facilities) or business use entirely, or modifications such as amateur radio antenna. Amateur radio restrictions have been particularly controversial; in 1985 the U.S. Federal Communications Commission issued PRB-1 preempting state and local restrictions, but not private restrictions; in 2012 after Congress passed a law requiring study of this issue (at the urging of amateur radio group ARRL[9]), the FCC declined to extend this preemption.[10]
In Canada, governmental authorities may use restrictive covenants as well as zoning. For instance, the city of Calgary's requirement that buildings in the general vicinity of Calgary International Airport be under a certain height is registered against virtually every title in the northeast quadrant of the city as a restrictive covenant, not as a zoning by-law.
The covenant will typically be written in the deed, and must be in writing due to the statute of frauds. Although scholars have argued that some of the following should be significantly relaxed, in order for the burden to run with the land the following must apply:[11]
- The covenant must be in writing to satisfy the Statute of Frauds.
- The original parties to the agreement must have intended that successors be bound by the agreement.
- A subsequent owner must have had actual notice, inquiry notice, or constructive notice (record) of the covenant at the time of purchase.
- The covenant must touch or concern the land. The covenant must relate to the use or enjoyment of the land.
- There must be horizontal privity between the original parties.
- Horizontal privity is found if, at the time the original parties enter into the agreement, those parties share some interest in the subject land independent of the covenant (e.g., landlord and tenant, mortgagee and mortgagor, or holders of mutual easements). Individual state statutes can alter the requirements of horizontal privity of estate. Privity may be instantaneous and mutual; instantaneous privity is present when the restrictive covenant is within the deed initially conveyed from the grantor to the grantee.
- There must be strict vertical privity of estate.
- Vertical privity characterizes the relationship between the original party to the covenant and the subsequent owner. To be bound by the covenant, the successor must hold the entire estate in land held by the original party (strict vertical privity of estate). Note that because strict vertical privity is required for a burden to run, a lessee could not have a burden enforced against them. However, a benefited party could sue the owner of the reversion of the estate, and the owner could possibly sue the lessee for waste.
Enforcement and modification
Courts interpret covenants relatively strictly and give the words of the agreement their ordinary meaning. Generally if there is any unclear or ambiguous language regarding the existence of a covenant courts will favor free alienation of the property. Courts will not read any restrictions on the land by implication (as is done with easements for example). A covenant can be terminated if the original purpose of the covenant is lost. In some cases property owners can petition a court to remove or modify the covenants, and homeowner associations may include procedures for removing the covenants.
The covenant may be negative or affirmative. A negative covenant is one in which property owners are unable to perform a specific activity, such as block a scenic view. An affirmative covenant is one in which property owners must actively perform a specific activity, such as keeping the lawn tidy or paying homeowner's association dues for the upkeep of the surrounding area.
An agreement not to open a competing business on adjacent property is generally enforceable as a covenant running with the land. However, a covenant that restricts sale to a minority person (commonly used during the Jim Crow era) is considered unenforceable.
England and Wales
At common law, the benefit of a restrictive covenant runs with the land if three conditions are met:[12]
- The covenant must not be personal in nature - it must benefit the land rather than an individual
- The covenant must 'touch and concern' the land - it must affect how the land is used or the value of the land
- The benefited land must be identifiable.
At common law, the burden of a restrictive covenant does not run[13] except where strict privity of estate (a landlord/tenant relationship) exists. The burden can be enforced at law in limited circumstances under the benefit/burden test - that is, whoever takes the benefit must also shoulder the burden. In Halsall v Brizell [1957] Ch 169, a covenant requiring the upkeep of roads was found to bind the successor in title to the original covenantor because he had elected to take the benefit. A positive burden can run in law, but not in equity.
The rule in Halsall v Brizell is limited to cases where the benefit can be linked to a specific burden and where the covenantor's successors in title can physically elect to take the benefit. For example, a restrictive covenant to contribute to the maintenance costs of a common area will not be binding if the covenantor's successors in title have no legal right to use them.[14]
The burden of a restrictive covenant will run in equity if these prerequisites are met:[15]
- The burden cannot be a positive burden (that is, it requires expenditure to meet it);
- The purchaser must have notice of the covenant
- The covenant must benefit the covenantee's land
- The covenant must be intended to run with the covenantor's land.
The leading case of restrictive covenants in equity is generally regarded as that of Tulk v Moxhay in which it was determined that the burden could run in equity subject to the qualifications listed above.
Covenants in planned communities
In contemporary practice in the United States, a covenant typically refers to restrictions set on contracts like deeds of sale. "Covenants, conditions, and restrictions," commonly abbreviated "CC&Rs" or "CCRs", are a complicated system of covenants, known generically as "deed restrictions," built into the deeds of all the lots[16] in a common interest development, particularly in the tens of millions of American homes governed by a homeowner association (HOA) or condominium association. There are some office or industrial parks subject to CCRs as well.
These CCRs might, for example, dictate building materials (including roofing materials), prohibit certain varieties of trees, or place restrictions on the number of dwellings that may be built on the property. The purpose of this is to maintain a neighborhood character or prevent improper use of the land. Many covenants of this nature were imposed in the 1920s through the 1940s, before zoning became widespread. However, many modern developments are also restricted by covenants on property titles; this is often justified as a means of preserving the values of the houses in the area. Covenant restrictions can be removed through court action, although this process is lengthy and often very expensive. In some cases it even involves a plebiscite of nearby property owners. Although control of such planning issues is often governed by local planning schemes or other regulatory frameworks rather than through the use of covenants, there are still many covenants imposed, particularly in states that limit the level of control over real property use that may be exercised by local governments.
Exclusionary covenants
Before 1948, these covenants were legally used for segregationist purposes.[17] In the 1920s and 1930s, covenants that restricted the sale or occupation of real property on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion or social class were common in the United States, where the primary intent was to keep "white" neighbourhoods "white". Such covenants were employed by many real estate developers to "protect" entire subdivisions. The purpose of an exclusionary covenant was to prohibit a buyer of property from reselling, leasing or transferring the property to members of a given race, ethnic origin and/ or religion as specified in the title deed. Some covenants, such as those tied to properties in Forest Hills Gardens, New York, also sought to exclude working class people however this type of social segregation was more commonly achieved through the use of high property prices, minimum cost requirements and application reference checks.[18]:131–7 In practice, exclusionary covenants were most typically concerned with keeping out African-Americans, however restrictions against Asian-Americans, Jews and Catholics were not uncommon. For example, the Lake Shore Club District in Pennsylvania, sought to exclude various minorities including Negro, Mongolian, Hungarian, Mexican, Greek and various European immigrants.[18] Cities known for their widespread use of racial covenants include Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Los Angeles, and St. Louis.
Racial covenants emerged during the mid-nineteenth century and started to gain prominence from the 1890s onwards. However, it was not until the 1920s that they adopted widespread national significance, a situation that continued until the 1940s. Racial covenants were an alternative to racially restrictive zoning ordinances (residential segregation based on race) that the 1917 US Supreme Court ruling of Buchanan v. Warley invalidated on constitutional grounds.[19][20]:26 Such covenants were upheld by the Court in the 1926 ruling of Corrigan v. Buckley,[21] only later to be declared legal but "unenforceable" in the 1948 decision of Shelley v. Kraemer.[22][23]
Some commentators have attributed the popularity of exclusionary covenants at this time as a response to the urbanization of black Americans following World War I, and the fear of "black invasion" into white neighborhoods, which they felt would result in depressed property prices, increased nuisance (crime), and social instability.[18]:97–8 Many African Americans openly defied these covenants and attempted to "pioneer" restricted areas.[24]
During the 1920s, the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP) sponsored several unsuccessful legal challenges against racial covenants. In a blow to campaigners against racial segregation, the legality of racial restrictive covenants was affirmed by the landmark Corrigan v. Buckley 271 U.S. 323 (1926) judgment that ruled that such clauses constituted "private action" and as such were not subject to the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.[20]:31 As a result of this decision, racial restrictive covenants proliferated across the United States during the 1920s and 1930s. Even the invalidation of such a covenant by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1940 case of Hansberry v. Lee did little to reverse the trend because the ruling was based on a technicality and failed to set a legal precedent.[20]:57 It was not until 1948 that the Shelley v. Kraemer judgment overturned the Corrigan v. Buckley decision in stating that exclusionary covenants were unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment and were therefore legally unenforceable.[20]:94 In 1968 Congress passed the Fair Housing Act (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968) which outlawed housing discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. In 1988 it was expanded to prohibit discrimination based on familial status (e.g. the presence of children) or disability.[25]
Exclusionary covenants today
Although exclusionary covenants are not enforceable today, they still exist in many original property deeds as 'underlying documents', and title insurance policies often contain exclusions preventing coverage of such restrictions. In 2010, it was found that more than 400 properties in Seattle suburbs alone retained (unenforceable) discriminatory language that had once excluded racial minorities.[26]
Examples in U.S.
- Forest Hills Gardens, Queens, New York – covenants forbade the sale of real property to blacks, Jews and working-class people.
- Jackson Heights, Queens, New York – covenants employed to restrict occupancy to white, non-immigrant Protestants.[27]
- Washington Park Subdivision, Chicago, Illinois – restrictive covenants used to exclude African-Americans.
- Palos Verdes, Los Angeles, California – covenants forbade an owner to sell or rent a house to anyone not of white or Caucasian race and to not permit African-Americans on their property with the exception of chauffeurs, gardeners and domestic servants.[18]:15
- Guilford, Baltimore, Maryland – covenants provided for exclusion against negros or persons of negro extraction.[18]:65
- Country Club District, Kansas City, MO and Johnson County, Kansas – restrictive covenants used to exclude African-Americans.
Examples outside U.S.
Although most commonly associated with the United States, racial restrictive covenants have been used in other countries:
- Canada – Subdivisions such as Westdale, Ontario employed racial covenants to bar a diverse array of ethnic groups such as Armenians and foreign-born Italians and Jews.[18]:103 Opposition to exclusionary covenants was significant in Canada, culminating in the 1945 Re: Drummond Wren ruling by the Ontario High Court which invalidated their use. This judgment was influential in guiding similar decisions in the United States and elsewhere.[28]
- South Africa – racial covenants emerged in Natal during the 1890s as an attempt to prevent Indians from acquiring properties in more expensive areas and were commonplace across the country by the 1930s. They were later used as a tool to further the cause of apartheid against the black population.[29]
- Zimbabwe – Asians and coloured people were excluded from purchasing or occupying homes in European areas[when?] by restrictive racial covenants written into most title deeds.[30]
Title covenants
Title covenants serve as guarantees to the recipient of property, ensuring that the recipient receives what he or she bargained for. The English covenants of title, sometimes included in deeds to real property, are (1) that the grantor is lawfully seized (in fee simple) of the property, (2) that the grantor has the right to convey the property to the grantee, (3) that the property is conveyed without encumbrances (this covenant is frequently modified to allow for certain encumbrances), (4) that the grantor has done no act to encumber the property, (5) that the grantee shall have quiet possession of the property, and (6) that the grantor will execute such further assurances of the land as may be requisite (Nos. 3 and 4, which overlap significantly, are sometimes treated as one item).[31] The English covenants may be described individually, or they may be incorporated by reference, as in a deed granting property "with general warranty and English covenants of title...
Noncompete covenant
Restrictive covenants also include noncompete contracts, which have been controversially applied to physicians and other professionals.[32]

Hi, I have this Java problem and I don't completely understand what it means, this is the problem:
Write a function named sumTo() that takes an integer parameter n and that returns the sum of the first n reciprocals. In other words:
sumTo(n) returns (1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + ... + 1/n)
(of course, 1/2 in this case means .5) For example, sumTo(2) should return the value 1.5 (1 + 1/2). If sumTo() is passed the value 0, it should return 0.0 as its result. You may assume that sumTo() is never passed a negative value.

What's in a number? Yoga Class Size.
by Julie on May.12, 2012, under Musings on Yoga, Parenting, Vinyasa, Yoga Therapy
Twenty is the classroom size limit that we voted for in Berkeley public elementary schools for K-3. approving an increase in property taxes to keep classrooms small. People move here from all over the Bay Area so that their kids can benefit from smaller classrooms. Why then do we adults not apply that same standard to our yoga? Why is it so often that the classes that have the most people in them are considered the "best" or that large size somehow equals teacher quality when in fact it 's mostly a study in crowd control and should be seen as a drawback to learning.
The late great yogi Sri Krishnamacharya ( teacher of my teachers) taught his students one -on-one. Sri K Pattabhi Jois (who studied briefly with Krishnamacharya when K.P.Jois was very young) taught his students with 1-12 people in his original Mysore Yoga Shala. I benefitted greatly from his personal tracking of my progress through the Ashtanga series, and often trembled at the prospect of his hands-on assists. I was often alone in the room with him receiving instruction as others had finished their practice. T.K.V. Desikachar continues his father's tradition of individually tailoring the teaching to each student. In international workshop settings this model does go out the window.
But just when did Hatha yoga become a group activity, and why are so many bodies thronging to group sweat-ins? It seems to me that we hatha yogis have somehow co-opted the format of exercise classes, gym class, or might I say, religious practices of communal gathering and have imposed on these communal structures the timeless practice of yoga. When did that image of the yogi practicing alone in the forest or cave turn into the image of a modern yoga studio thronging with gals and guys in styling yoga wear?
I used to practice yoga alone on my childhood living room rug using poses of a dancing Shiva that I found in a musuem catagogue called the "Manifestations of Shiva," curated by the late art historian Stella Kramish for my guide. No joke. I was so taken with these dancing icons that I imitated them. The idea of publicly sharing these poses with any other bodies seemed to my teenage mind somehow a form of desecration. Those dancing Shivas were my secret. It wasn't until I was an acting student in London, and a bit later when I was acting in off off ( falling off) Broadway in New York, when we used yoga as part of our movement training, that I discovered that yoga could be a group activity. Be was it meant for this?
I don't know if it is age, or motherhood, ( now that I am hardly ever alone) but the idea of practicing my personal spirit practice in a room packed with (often shirtless) bodies just doesn't dig deep for me. Practicing with someone else's sweat on my mat is not appealing. I have been ambivilent about attending such classes. But lately my ambivlance has turned closer towards avoidance. And if I don't want to attend such a class, then why would I attenpt to teach one- say one with more than twenty bodies in it? That's why I love teaching one-on-one and small semi-private classes out of my home studio.
So go to your yoga classes, but do your hOMe practice too, and "all will be coming" to you.

Hopefully this is some kind of unfunny joke, but there is now a line of QR code clothing. Yeah, that's right. QRTribe (that's a real name) makes hoodies, purses, and t-shirts all with these ugly things that no one uses printed on them. When you scan them they'll take you to a page that has links to all of your social media profiles. Eureka!
Thank god someone designed this despicable line, because it is just what no one has been wanting. It's like 1997 fashion collided with 2012 technology and only the worst parts were left. They might as well have included a pair of JNCO jeans. Aside from the fact that QR codes are just dumb, the clothes are cheesy and they look like something you get in a gift bag. But hey, I mean, if that's what you're into, someone who cares about you needs to stage an intervention on your behalf. [ChipChick]

Talking Past Each Other On Race
An Evans-Manning Award for an excellent comment in the thread below goes to Dennis Sanders, an openly gay, African-American Republican reader of this blog, who says:
The fact of the matter is, Rod is correct that white conservatives aren't going to give up that which makes them conservative, such as their opposition to affirmative action. It's not because they are racist and want to preserve the white race as much as it is reverse sense of unfairness in a time when jobs are not as plentiful.
But Rod and other conservatives have to understand that dismantling things like affirmative action and then offering nothing in its place except nostrums about opportunity gives blacks the impression that white conservatives don't care about blacks and don't understand the minefield we walk through in trying to go to college, find employment or advance in the workplace.
Here's an example. Back in the 50s, my Dad and some relatives drove up from their native Louisiana to look for jobs at Caterpillar in Illinois. Dad said they came to plant asking for work and some white official said there were no jobs to be had even though white men were finding work at the plant. Dad later went to Michigan to find work in GM.
It's a safe bet that blacks my age and younger hear these stories from their parents and grandparents. It's seared into our brains that the world is unfair and will look us over for a white person with less experience. So, when the average black guy hears a white conservative talking about ending affirmative action, they go back to the stories their elders told them and interpret this as "the white man wants to keep us black folk down."
This is a long way of saying that there needs to be a real discussion on race between African Americans and conservatives. But it has to be a real discussion where we are open to listening to each other's fears and hurts without immediately judging the other person. We can't do what John McWhorter has long talked about, have a "conversation on race" which is little more than the black person yelling about how unfair life is and the white person just taking it in. We have to have a real discussion, a willingness to really listen to one another and then find ways to bring African Americans into the Republican tent. But that means setting aside our pain just a little so that we can hear each other.
I appreciate this perspective. Depressingly, however, it calls to mind a post I put up earlier this year about why honest conversation about race is pretty much impossible.

Errata Editions On-Press: Day Two
I have arrived at C+C Joint Printing in Shenzhen province and according to the news there is a typhoon on its way. Not large enough to worry about but if I do get to step outside at some point in the next 3-4 days it may not be pleasant.
At C+C I have finally met Alice Xu who has been assigned to manage the printing and production of the Books on Books project. When you deal directly with a printer you will most likely be assigned someone as your project manager. This is the person you send your files to and give all detailed specifications on how the books are to look. Alice and I have been corresponding about the books for several months and I have the strong sense that she's very patient. I am sure that since this is the first project for me, I have made her job a bit harder with making some mistakes and slight delays in our scheduling. The learning curve for me has been huge after all.
Getting right to work we started reviewing the corrections I made to our "blues" which are very rough printouts of each book. They look like hell but you use them to check for any last minute typos or positioning problems in your layouts. Of course every time you look at a set of blues you will find some very small thing wrong that needs correcting. Whatever slips by hopefully won't be too embarrassing like a punctuation mark sitting outside of quotes (my favorite type of mistake -- found a few of those). To cover any mistakes that slip by we've just named our company Errata.
1. pl. of erratum.
2. a list of errors and their corrections inserted, usually on a separate page or slip of paper, in a book or other publication.
After being treated to a wonderful lunch of spicy beancurd, stringbeans and bokchoi with Shirley Chan, Alice Xu and Iris Peng, my other liaison, here at C+C, I was shown to my guest room at the facility. Turns out my room here is ten times as nice as the place in Hong Kong that cost me $100.00 a night. Too bad I won't get much sleep here. Meanwhile the press is being prepared for the first book.
It's now 3:00pm and I have signed off on my first press check sheet. We have started printing the Atget book and the first sheet the pressman showed me was spot-on for color balance but too dense in the black tone. The Atget book itself is a bit tricky to duplicate as the original "collotype" plates do not register a deep rich black tone but instead look a bit "dusty." They also have a tendency to have a more shallow range of tones resulting in "pools" of similar tone that don't vary and have almost no detail. If printed in 4 color offset at the same density as the original I think the images would look just poorly printed. I have chosen to print slightly richer but allow for the fullest detail. The pressman was registering a black point of 1.85 on his densitometer and we brought it back to around 1.7. The results opened up the images but didn't sacrifice any of the richness I am seeking to maintain.
The rest of today is going to be spent on checking sheets of Atget photos. Much of the same but excited as hell - my stress levels are surprisingly low. Mostly due to great preparation courtesy of Mr. Hennessey. Tonight we may have a midnight rendezvous with American Photographs and the first of the duotone sheets.
Project background continued from Day 1:
The Production
When producing a book you obviously need someone to print it so our next hurdle was finding a great printer. Ed and I took a trip to New Jersey and visited with Oceanic Graphic Printing which is a "print broker." Print Brokers are companies that act as a liaison between the client and the printer. For people who haven't navigated the process of printing a book, they can make the process easier, but of course, they cost you additional money. We decided since we had the advantage of access to great advice from active book production people that we could do without the broker and deal directly with printers.
We had the huge advantage of having one of the best production people in the business pitch our book specs for quotes from various printers that she has had long connections with. After seeing the expense we changed some aspects of our books. Since they were going to be a little more expensive than expected, we decided to make them a bit more elegant by switching them to hardcover and adding a nice jacket. The hardcover is also more library friendly as we would hope that schools that offer a degree in photography would have these books in their reference library.
After fielding quotes from a few printers we settled on C+C in China. C+C is one of two major printers in China -- Midas being the other. They have produced some of the finest photo and art books printed in Asia.
The Essays
The second most important part of our books comes from the new 3000-4000 word essays we have commissioned. Matching a writer with a body of work can be difficult but we found four great contributors -- some at the request of the artists (I know Atget would have asked for David Campany if he could). Given a time period of basically three to four months they set upon the task and surprising to me, were able to hold to my production schedule with only the most minimal delay due to re-writes.
My own small contribution comes in the way of book stats and production notes. Each book has an interesting story behind it's genesis so I compiled several interesting anecdotes about the books and shaped a few paragraphs for each. Some of the illustrations that accompany these pages are photos of the original book maquette/dummies when available.
More tomorrow...

I love the New York Times. I read it as often as I can. And I have no beef with their website layout but sometimes, there's just too much going on. I just want the news! Ochs, a plug-in for Chrome, does just that.
Ochs is a free Chrome extension and it tries to do "less with more" for the Grey Lady. It adds more white space to the homepage and removes a lot of the unnecessary clutter. It looks a lot like a tablet app, actually. Cleaner and less chaotic.
Ochs also throws in sweet features like single page articles (THANK GOD), Typekit usage and more. You'll notice the biggest difference on the front page and in the articles themselves, though Michael Donohoe, the developer, will keep working on Ochs to make it even better. Basically, if you read the Times, download Ochs. [Chrome Web Store]

More rain adds to misery in flooded Philippine capital
MANILA - Heavy rain pounded the Philippine capital and surrounding areas for a third day Wednesday, adding to the misery of nearly 300,0000 exhausted people displaced from their flooded homes.
Eight people have already been confirmed killed by the monsoon rains that have battered the main Philippine island of Luzon, and provincial authorities warned the death toll would rise with reports of more drownings.
About one third of Manila, a low-lying and sprawling city of 12 million people, remained under water with some areas enduring waist-deep floods, according to Philippine Red Cross secretary general Gwendolyn Pang.
The crisis had eased from Tuesday, when more than half of the city was submerged and the rain was heavier.
But Pang said many people were still suffering, with close to 300,000 people living in evacuation centres or seeking shelter with friends and relatives.
"The problem now is food, and a source of water for drinking. They also have to wash their clothes (while) some had their belongings washed away by the water," Pang told AFP.
One of the worst-affected areas was the coastal district of Cavite, about 18 kilometres (11 miles) from the heart of the capital, where residents were enduring waist-deep water streaming through countless homes.
"We are really pitiful here. People are still shocked. There is no electricity," Lino Ibadlit, a district councillor, told AFP.
He said the local government had brought some food and other relief goods but they were only suitable for one day.
"The people have no choice but to wade through the water to look for food, but stores are either closed or have run out of supplies... we need canned goods, noodles, biscuits," he said.
Ibadlit said health was also starting to become a concern, with children beginning to suffer from colds and skin rashes.
The floods paralysed the capital on Monday and Tuesday, with schools, government offices and the stock exchange closed. The city was even quieter on Wednesday, although it was a public holiday.
People living in important farming regions to the north of Manila were also enduring flooding.
In Pampanga province knee-high water submerged vast areas of rice fields and farming towns.
Marcela Cantellana, 53, said five families whose homes are beside the Porac river had been living inside her two-storey home since the floods struck before dawn on Monday.
"The water went up so quickly. They weren't even able to save their clothes because the water rose to the rooftops in minutes. All of their livestock, their goats, pigs and chickens, were lost," she said.
However the flooding in Pampanga was lower than Tuesday and the Porac river had returned to normal levels on Wednesday, allowing the displaced families at Cantellana's house to start cleaning out their homes.
Local governments reported at least seven more people had died due to the floods in some areas outside of Manila.
However the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council had yet to confirm the fatalities, and the official death toll remained at eight.
Moderate to heavy rain was expected to continue falling across Manila and northern Luzon throughout Wednesday, the state weather bureau said.
The seasonal monsoon was worsened by Tropical Storm Trami, which had been hovering to the north of the Philippines.
Trami was about 500 kilometres (300 miles) northeast of the Philippines on Wednesday and moving slowly away, according to the weather bureau, which said the rains were expected to ease late in the week.
The Southeast Asian archipelago endures about 20 major storms or typhoons annually, generally in the second half of the year and many of them deadly.
More than 460 people were killed in 2009 when Tropical Storm Ketsana left 80 per cent of Manila submerged.
And in August last year, 51 people died when more than a month's worth of rain was dumped in and around Manila in 48 hours.

We develop live chat software that enables website visitors to interact with customer service representatives. We offer installable and hosted solutions. We have 10% of the top fortune 100 business clients.
We need a beautiful, new state of the art chat window designed for our SightMax Live Chat Product.
Our new chat solution is built on CSS and slides up from the bottom of the browser window to asks a user if they want to chat.
There are four screens built into our chat window:
1. Prechat Survey - Form that collects user information, such as name, phone, company name, etc.
2. The Waiting Screen, usually a clock (spinning) or hour glass (moving) that displays while the visitor is waiting for an operator to answer the chat (animated gif preferred)
3. The chat window itself where visitors send and receive messages
4. The Post Chat window, this shows up at the end of the chat to ask the visitor how the operator handled their issue. It's a form just like the pre chat survey but has questions pertaining to the chat that just took place.
The main design is basically the shell for all of the above, the base design will be the same.
We are looking for some nice colors which can be used on most any site.
Design requirements:
- Chat title bar - shows at the bottom (side or top) of the page and entices the visitor to click to start a chat. This is really the top bar of the chat. The remainder of the chat window is simply hidden. When the visitor clicks the bar, the chat window slides upwards to expose the main chat window.
The bar shows text and icons to represent the status of the system.
a) Online
b) Offline
c) Out to Lunch
d) Back in 5 Minutes
- Hovering invite marque that slides from the top of the page down to the bottom and sits on the chat bar itself. Typically it's a special offer that entices the visitor into chat when clicked.
- Should have a place to show a small operator avatar (picture of operator).
- Send button next to the input window to send the message.
- A small bar of icons shown during chats for:
Skype (makes a Skype call), Print (to print a chat), Email Chat Transcript and the End button to end the chat)
- Should have a key/lock or some graphic to show that the chat is secure.
- In the chat window itself, we need a status area that shows when the operator is typing to the visitor, usually text that says "Operator is typing". This pops up when the operator starts typing and should be in a visible area for the visitor.
- SightMax Logo and Powered by SightMax text should be shown somewhere in the chat window.
- Size can be anything, however it needs to play and fit nicely on websites whereby it doesn't take too much room.
I've enclosed screenshots of our current window, to show the idea. We don't like the layout or the colors, but it gives you an idea of what we have and what we want to improve upon.
Please don't hesitate to ask us questions or come by SightMax.com and click our chat window to confirm functionality (or just to chat with us!).

News came down today that the Seahawks have entered in contract negotiations with Chargers Pro Bowl WR Vincent Jackson. Jackson, 27, is a 6'5″ 230 lb beast of a wideout. Not surprisingly, he is known for making plays over the top of defenders and being a target for fade routes in the end zone. His career average of 17.2 YPC tells us he's a big play guy as well.
Vincent Jackson or Vincent Price? Depends on who you ask

I'm not sold on Housh. It would not surprise me or phase me what-so-ever if Housh was traded. Bring in Jackson! Even with three days suspension in the beginning of the season, Vincent will definitely be a threat no matter when he starts. Pete Carroll loves his WR's big. In an article recently, Deon Butler was stating that he was very concerned about his chances of winning a roster spot. He was told that Pete Carroll loves big WR's and that he had a slim chance to make it. I think we can conclude that Butler has won a roster spot. He a freak'n stud! Once Vincent Jackson is signed, yes…he will be signed soon, then we can expect that either Housh or Branch will be taking the exodus towards home.
It's hard to be all that attached to any player on an offense that was the worst of any Seahawk team since 1993. I just know I saw Housh carve us up opposite Chad Johnson only a year prior to coming here. I think he's a player that will make the play when it counts, and those are important. If he had a true #1 across from him, he might be a different player. I don't think I could say the same for Branch.
The fact that the Chargers are only willing to let Seattle talk to VJ tells you that the SD=SEA part of the deal was agreed. In turn, that probably means there is money and a player headed south.
SD wouldn't take Branch, too small and injury prone. No to Butler, too young and inexperienced.
That leaves Housh who still lives in LA.
A 3 WR lineup of VJ, Tate and Williams with Branch and Butler rotating in would be something….if Hass had time behind our O-Line.
I would be totally bummed if we lost Butler in all of this because I think he has a long term upside. Housh seems to create drama, and most of it not so great, but he is a good receiver. Branch, I'd not have a second thought about him being gone. I wonder if all the "great camp" reports are to get his behind out of here? VJ would be a great addition, although I do worry about the cost of acquiring him.
HB, you going to the game tonight?
All I know is that Vincent is going to be here, which is really exciting. Vincent Jackson will demand double team. That opens up everything for Matt Hasselbeck and the running game. Having Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams, who both are 6'5 230lbs, will be quite the hardship on opposing teams. AWESOME stuff coming our way! GO SEAHAWKS!
I doubt we have any players SD would want in return. This is going to be about draft picks, and I'd hate to give up a second round pick, since we already are without our 3rd next year.
Nobody will want Butler until he proves he's worth getting.
HG, I'll be there!
Can't wait to hear your thoughts about tonight's game. Leon looked great, JJ was terrible…again, Okung is highly worrisome, and why can't our D get any pressure on the QB? Gaaa!

TACOMA, Wash. – Robert Reich, former U.S. secretary of labor, political economist, commentator, and bestselling author, who TIME magazine described as "one of the 10 most successful cabinet secretaries of the past century," will speak at University of Puget Sound on Thursday, Oct. 4.
An exacting and popular scholar, whose wit is as sharp as his intellect, Reich is coming to Tacoma to present a talk titled "The Global Economy and the Future of Everything National." It will start at 8 p.m. in Schneebeck Concert Hall on campus. Ticket information is below.
Reich has served under three administrations—those of Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, and as secretary of labor under Bill Clinton, from 1993 to 1997. Reich and Clinton first met when the two were young Rhodes Scholars traveling by ship to Oxford, England. Years later, a telephone call from the White House ferried the labor expert and economist into what Reich described as "a very heady, very exciting time, trying to decide basically how bad the economy was, how large the deficit was."
More recently Reich served on President Barack Obama's economic transition board. He is currently a nationally known consultant and media commentator and Chancellor's Professor of Public Policy at University of California, Berkeley.
Public recognitions have underlined Reich's expansive career. In 2003 he was awarded the prestigious Václav Havel prize, in Prague, for his original contributions to economic thinking. A year later he was named one of America's three most influential opinion leaders on business and the economy, based on a study by management consultant Accenture. In 2008 The Wall Street Journal named him one of the nation's top 10 thought leaders.
In his new e-book, Beyond Outrage (April 2012), Reich argues that the U.S. economy is paralyzed by the gridlock of competing interests, and that only ordinary Americans can ensure that Washington gets moving again. His 2011 book, Aftershock: The Next Economy and America's Future, scrutinized the economic outlook following the Great Recession and predicted what might come over the next decade. In a recent interview with The Browser, Reich pointed to income disparity as one of the major issues affecting our economy.
"You see, when you have the extraordinary moves to inequality that we've seen over the past 30 years, there is simply no way that democracy can be maintained," he said. "Massive inequality is incompatible with robust democracy. Today, in the United States, the top 1 percent is taking home more than 20 percent of total income and owns at least 38 percent of total wealth. …a handful of extraordinarily wealthy people can virtually control the election result—not entirely, but have a huge impact. That's not a democracy."
Reich is the author of more than a dozen books including The Work of Nations, which has been translated into 22 languages, and the bestsellers Locked in the Cabinet and The Future of Success. His 2007 book, Supercapitalism, warned of the perils of an underregulated financial system tenuously supported by layers of debt. Reich writes a nationally syndicated column about the economy, and he is a regular contributor to public radio and CNBC television.
The Susan Resneck Pierce Lecture in Public Affairs and the Arts series is named for the president emerita of University of Puget Sound. The series brings intellectuals, writers, and artists to the university to present challenging ideas that stimulate further exploration and discussion on campus.
Past Pierce lecturers have included novelist and activist Carlos Fuentes; psychiatrist and author Kay Redfield Jamison; filmmaker Spike Lee; the Hon. Cory Booker, mayor of Newark, N.J.; political commentator David Brooks; U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky; The New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman; playwright Edward Albee; race and religion scholar Cornel West; composer Philip Glass; playwright Suzan-Lori Parks; and dancer and choreographer Twyla Tharp.
For tickets order online at http://pugetsound.tickets.edu or contact Wheelock Information Center to purchase with a credit card by calling 253.879.6013. Admission is $20 for the general public. Advance booking is advised. Puget Sound students, faculty, and staff can attend for free, but tickets must be ordered in advance. Any remaining tickets will be available at the door.

University of Nebraska to work with leading MOOC provider Coursera to significantly expand access to online course content
University of Nebraska President James B. Milliken announced today that NU will begin working with Coursera, a leading provider of massive open online courses (MOOCs), to expand access to the university's rich course content and talented faculty to significantly more individuals via distance learning.
The University of Nebraska is one of 10 state university systems and public university flagship institutions announcing today their intent to join Coursera. Coursera already partners with 70 leading universities in the U.S. and beyond, including seven Big Ten institutions.
The collaboration will provide NU faculty from all four campuses the opportunity to explore new and enhanced learning technologies that benefit students and advance the university's mission. Milliken noted that the details of the university's involvement with Coursera – including what course content might be offered and when it might become available – will depend on interest among faculty members and a review process at the university. Participation in Coursera will be entirely voluntary for faculty.
"I'm very pleased to be working with Coursera to explore how we might leverage technology to expand access to high-quality University of Nebraska course content to many more people," Milliken said. "This is an exciting new opportunity that builds on our long history of providing distance learning to students everywhere."
Milliken noted that the University of Nebraska Online Worldwide remains NU's primary platform for providing distance education. Online Worldwide, which provides access to more than 130 online degree, certificate and endorsement programs offered by the four campuses, has grown rapidly in recent years, particularly among distance-only students. University of Nebraska Online Worldwide will continue to be a priority for the university as it works to expand access to more Nebraskans and others seeking a flexible, quality education, including the 290,000 Nebraskans who have completed some college but have not earned a degree.
Partnership with Coursera offers additional opportunities for the university to expand access to education and increase its name recognition, particularly among international students. Coursera offers hundreds of free courses in a wide range of topics, including the humanities, medicine, biology, social science, mathematics, business, computer science and others. The courses are open to anyone wishing to acquire new skills, advance his or her career or simply learn new information.
The partnership also creates new opportunities for faculty to collaborate with their colleagues at different institutions in order to share and discover best practices from a diverse community of education professionals.
In addition to the University of Nebraska, nine other universities announced today their plans to work with Coursera: the State University of New York (SUNY), Tennessee Board of Regents, University of Colorado, University of Houston System, University of Kentucky, University of New Mexico, University System of Georgia, University of Tennessee and West Virginia University.
"We think the coming decade will see a transformation in the way education is delivered, where teachers and online content come together to better serve students on campus and beyond," said Daphne Koller, Coursera co-founder. Koller was a keynote speaker at the University of Nebraska's Innovation in Pedagogy and Technology Symposium earlier this month, which drew more than 500 faculty, staff and administrators interested in the role of technology in the rapidly changing landscape of education.
Andrew Ng, the second co-founder of Coursera, said: "With this announcement, we take a step further in our goal to expand quality education to all."
Answers to frequently asked questions about Coursera are available online.

Chemistry Tutor Bangor ME
Certified Chemistry Tutor Bangor ME. Find Affordable Tutoring for elementary school, middle school, high school and college.
Military Career Highlights After my fourth year working seasonal security supervisory jobs on Mackinac Island, I was ready for something different. However, in case of a tuition center, the total cost is calculated o per head basis. If one chooses so, there are in home consultations that can be done. In his mind – and understandably so – he had enough of learning and schooling in his kindergarten. Expert private tutors will develop techniques to make the student understand the nuances of the subject and this will help in boosting up the confidence of the student. This gives the students more time to concentrate on his other activities like sports and music and so on. The student will be able to benefit from the online tuition centre as they provide tuition for various subjects like maths, English, science and so on. Find out what they are interested in and use it! Most reading difficulties are easy to remediate once they are identified. Also, you can advertise on your own and once you get a following the word of mouth referrals will start coming in quickly. With all the extracurricular activities that youngsters have nowadays, generally it's laborious to line aside the time required to review. Tuition centre will have a good data base of the expert tutors in various subjects. As far as ethics are concerned, he believed that people truly did good deeds because they wanted to become good, rather than just doing good deeds for their own sake. I tutor because I enjoy it and because I'm a fervent believer in the need for science education. I am a science teacher, and as such many of the questions I am asked are very pointed, direct and are easy to help students with. This also removes some of the personalization of tutoring and can skew the line of what is acceptable for a tutor to work on with a student. The teacher can help your child to cover his/her home work and additionally he/she can also take care of her educational performance in class. Most teens preferred method of gathering information is the internet, where they interact with the text by browsing sites and clicking on active links. The private tutor through years of experience would be quite aware of this and must prepare list of such science terminologies and provide it to the student. My time is valuable, and I make sure to confirm appointments with students several days in advance, the day of, and all my students have my email address and private cell phone number. In addition, many schools are recommending this as an alternative for students. This wonderful subject has captured the hearts and minds of people all over the world. It's Monday, April 1st. History with just 26 tutoring hours. Exploring the range of options available to you is a critical factor.

Mission awareness trips and Colombia national encuentro
Nicaragua – Colombia – Dominican Republic
Feb. 21 – March 7, 2009
Sponsors grow in grace
From the moment we landed in Managua on this beautiful Saturday afternoon, we have been a pilgrim community. The sponsors of Nicaraguan children, youth and aging have a culture all their own. Many have been here several times in the past. They have formed strong relationships with their sponsored families and with one another. It is wonderful to see them grow in grace through walking with the poor.
My group had the pleasure of coming to know an admirable young family. The mother, Alba Luz, 27, has taken special courses in the cultivation and use of medicinal plants and natural medicine. She teaches the other mothers in the community, and her husband, Uricer, cultivates corn and beans on property owned by his father. Their 1-year-old Alvaro is awaiting sponsorship. Weíve been over 10 hours in the vehicle this day, much of it over slow-going rocky roads. One flat tire didnít slow us down much.
In the early hours of Feb. 23, we met sponsors Colleen and George MacKenzie, Alhambra, Calif., together with their granddaughter and outgoing 8-year-old sponsor, Danielle Shields. All three are advocates and have found and motivated over 200 new sponsors. George maintains that their relationship with three sponsored children has changed their lives.
National meeting held
In Medellin, Colombia, everyone has worked very hard to make this a dynamic learning experience for all. Each of the six Colombian projects plus our international team (Brenda; Sarah; my wife,†Cristina; and myself) covered a topic of keen interest to all. The topics included formal and informal education of children in Colombia, long-term and annual program planning, sponsored youth and their formation in values, and measuring the impact of our projects. I will add that the cross-project sharing and the CFCA spirit run strong in this group.
Music plays a big part in this encuentro (meeting) and all encuentros Ö and folkloric presentations by sponsored children and staff form an integral part of the meeting. The conclusions and resolutions of this encuentro are solid, balanced and heartily embraced by all.
Colombia is fired up about my Pilgrimage of Faith II walk (from Guatemala to Chile, beginning Dec. 29). Recently on a cold rainy morning, staff from Project Bogota, accompanied by many friends and relatives, successfully completed a 59-kilometer solidarity walk over rough mountainous terrain. It was also a religious pilgrimage. They prayed many a rosary, asking blessings on all those involved in Pilgrimage II.
Trip continues in Dominican Republic
In Santo Domingo, coordinator Nelson Figueroa tells us the poverty index is 31 percent urban and 45 percent rural with the riches in few handsó10 percent of the population owns the majority of resources. Thirty-three percent of children do not finish elementary school and 62 percent do not complete high school.
We visited families in the rural area of Jarabacoa where there is a real need of mothers groups and livelihood programs. My group visited three homes, all in about the same conditionócrude and broken cement floors, worn planks for wall, no screens allowing mosquitoes at night, no running water, no bathrooms, and two had old propane stoves that didnít work.
In Los Almacigos, the sponsors and I were declared by the mayor as honorary citizens of the city. In a visit to one home, sponsored girl Maria, 15, is studying in the eighth grade. She is also nursing a beautiful 9-month-old baby boy. I think and I pray that by this evening, the baby will also have a sponsor.
We head home
These dear sponsors are now on their way home. They have had a full gamut of experiences that are not always easy. Cristina and I have a few days in the Guatemala projects before the arrival of the 29 sponsors on March 14. We ask your prayers and we wish you Godís blessings.
