Climb your way up a nice big diagonal crack about 20 ft. up then work your way to the right into the J-crack work up the crack until you reach really good jugs and big holds the crack ends fast but is super fun the top is about 20 more ft. from the end of the crack climb up to end
Walk across the stream towards Spring Morning Wall and take a right up a thin path until you find a very open spot with rocks coming out of the ground and you will see the crack
It's a toprope
That can't be led? Why does it get a pg-13 rating? Just curious, looks like a neat area. Where is Canaan, near washington?
It can be lead easily, just bring long webbing for the anchor. The first 20 feet doesn't offer much, hence the PG13, but then you clip an old pin and get a bomber cam before stepping into the crack proper. From there, very well protected.

Intro to Food Co-op Bylaws
Bylaws are one of the founding documents for a new food co-op (or any corporation). What do bylaws do?
Some of the Main Jobs of the Bylaws are to:
- Start by saying what the organization does, and what its purpose is.
- Some co-ops adopt the Cooperative Principles.
- Establish how people can become members, so we know who is a member and who is not.
- Say how meetings work. How are meetings called, how are they run, how does voting work? How do you know when a decision has been made?
- The Board. Who's eligible? How are Board members voted in? What are the officer positions, and what is each officer in charge of doing?
- Board meetings. How are decisions normally made? What if there's a need for a special meeting, or a decision needs to be made immediately, and there's no time for a meeting? When does the membership get to review a decision made by the Board?
- How and when can someone be pulled off the board?
- How and when can someone be kicked out of the co-op?
- How do member refunds work? Does the co-op put some money aside to build a reserve? How much of that reserve is considered the Co-op's money, and how much is considered member equity?
- What happens when (if) the co-op winds down, either because it goes out of business or because the members decide to sell to another co-op? If there are assets, who gets them?
The Bylaws should help the Co-op Qualify for Favorable tax treatment.
It's best for most food co-ops to be taxed under Subchapter T, which is an important part of the U.S. tax code for cooperatives. Under Subchapter T, a food co-op will not be taxed on net income from member purchases that the co-op refunds to members ("patronage dividends" or "patronage refunds"), IF the co-op meets certain requirements.
To help make sure the co-op meets those requirements, the bylaws should give the co-op a duty to give patronage refunds (if there's sufficient income). All members need to receive patronage refunds equitably, based on the amount or value of business done with the co-op.
The bylaws should obligate the co-op to distribute the patronage refunds at least once a year, to make the payments by nine months and fifteen days after the close of the fiscal year, and to distribute at least 20% of those refunds in cash, and to give a "qualified" written notice of allocation to each member documenting any patronage refund that's not distributed in cash.
The bylaws should state that by joining or remaining a member of the co-op, the members consent to take patronage refunds into account for the purpose of their own income taxes, to the extent required by law. (The co-op should also give each member a separate written notice that this bylaw exists, and a copy of the bylaws.) Now, in a food co-op, the members probably will not have to pay tax on their patronage refunds. There is an exemption for patronage dividends that come from the member's own money spent on "personal, living, or family items" (26 U.S.C. s. 1385(b)(2)). But it's better practice to include language in your bylaws saying that the member consents to include the patronage dividend in her gross income to the extent required by law, to make sure the co-op itself qualifies for Subchapter T. This allows for the possibility that some of the patronage refund could come from the co-op's income that was not from the sale of "personal, living, or family items."
Comply with State Co-op Statutes
In Illinois, the current Co-operative Act, 805 ILCS 310/1 et seq., requires that no owner may own more than 5 shares of stock or more than $500 worth of stock, so keep that in mind when creating your membership requirements.
Your state may have other requirements for co-ops.

The River's Right to Flow
This past Wednesday (11/13/2013), the teach-in at SELC's Resilient Communities Legal Cafe was about the Rights of Nature, by Linda Sheehan. I went in thinking it was going to be some fluffy, ultimately meaningless stuff about how animals have rights. But actually Linda's message is a big deal. Here's what I got from the presentation.
1. Don't you feel outraged when someone blows up a mountaintop or clearcuts a forest? When that happens, what's being violated?
2. Don't you believe that you and all people have a right to clean water, clean air, clean food, and a world where our grandchildren will be able to live? At this point, I'm questioning the livability of the planet for my potential grandkids. Not to mention that for some reason GMO corn makes its way into my kid's mouth. Doesn't that violate some rights we have? Don't we all have a right to preserve the commons?
If we have these rights, then why is it OK to trash our natural resources? Linda Sheehan's message is that destruction is allowed because our legal system treats the natural world as property, and environmental laws basically give companies the right to pollute a little bit (and Agriculture can pollute a lot), and it's all about minimizing the pollution, but the right to "develop" is presumed. In order to change our system to one where human beings can survive and thrive on a long-term basis, we need to flip the thinking behind our legal system by recognizing that the natural world has a right to exist (and I think this is intertwined with our rights as humans to have that beautiful natural world continue to exist). This means that a river has the right to flow. Species have a right to exist, to thrive, and to evolve. And we can think about human needs in terms of whole-person health and happiness, which very much depends on the natural world continuing to exist, and to thrive.
Some countries and U.S. cities have enacted laws recognizing the rights of nature.
[R]esidents have a fundamental and inalienable right to clean water from sustainable sources, clean indoor and outdoor air, a sustainable food system that provides healthy, locally grown food, a sustainable climate that supports thriving human life and a flourishing biodiverse environment, waste disposal that does not degrade the environment, and a sustainable energy future based on renewable energy resources.
This is law in Santa Monica, and this ordinance gives the City and individual residents the ability to sue to enforce the ordinance.

Should You Incorporate in Delaware?
Let's first ask: Why do so many businesses incorporate in Delaware?
For hundreds of years, Delaware's court system, legislature, and administration have focused on making things work for corporations. Delaware's General Corporation Law is updated regularly based on recommendations from the lawyers who serve the many Delaware corporations. The Delaware Secretary of State's Office runs efficiently and is user-friendly. But maybe most important is that Delaware's special court for corporate matters (the Court of Chancery) decides many cases and issues written decisions, and the result is a well-developed "body of law." That is, if you can think of a conflict that might come up, legal counsel can find out who got sued for what, who won, and why, in Delaware case law. This allows a corporation to plan ahead to avoid litigation. (In other states, there may be no clear answer, so avoiding a problem could be impossible.)
These effects snowball. Delaware has become known as the place to incorporate, so more companies do incorporate there, and the result is a huge number of corporations under Delaware law, with more and more all the time. This leads to more cases, which makes Delaware's case law even more detailed. Delaware law is known by corporate lawyers across the country, and the more companies go to Delaware, the more important it is for lawyers to know Delaware law. Delaware has become a common denominator, and part of the value is just its reputation. An investor might be more comfortable investing in a business that's incorporated in Delaware, even if the business's home state's law would work just fine.
Another reason is tax. In some situations, setting up a Delaware company or subsidiary can reduce a company's state tax bill. This depends on the type of income and in what state the income is earned. If your company makes income from intangible assets like intellectual property, your company may be able to benefit, but you'll need to see whether your home state's law will allow you to take advantage.
Would your business benefit by incorporating in Delaware?
There are some reasons to incorporate in the state where you're doing business.
1. Filing fees. There's a fee to form a new corporation or an LLC. You can form your new legal entity in any state, but you can't just start doing business in a state where you haven't filed. If you incorporate in another state (like Delaware), you'll also need to register with your home state's secretary of state as a "foreign" entity. For example, to do business in Illinois, you file an "Application for Authority to Transact Business in Illinois." The fee for that filing is generally the same as the fee to form a corporation. So if you incorporate in Delaware but do all of your business in Illinois, you'll have to pay two filing fees instead of just one (Illinois only).
2. Franchise tax and administrative work. You'll have to file an annual report and pay a franchise tax in the state where you're incorporated and the state(s) where you do business. If you're incorporated in one state and mainly do business in another state, you'll have to do the annual report and pay the franchise tax in both states.
3. Securities law. Any time you sell someone the opportunity to invest in your business, where they put in money and expect a return (without doing any work themselves), that's a security. Securities are highly regulated–you still can't sell securities to the general public, and you'll generally have to file some forms with both federal and state governments.
If you're doing most of your business in one state, and you're incorporated in that state, and you want to raise capital from people who live in your home state, then you can take advantage of the intra-state exemption to federal securities law (15 U.S.C. s. 77c(a)(11)). That exemption says that if your offering is just to the residents of the state where you do business, then state law can handle it, and the federal government doesn't need to be involved. If you don't advertise publicly, you may just need to file a simple form with your secretary of state. But, if you're incorporated in another state, this exemption won't work.
4. Tax–probably neutral. In general, business income is taxed by the state where the income is earned, so in general, incorporating in Delaware would not help you avoid state income tax in the state where you actually operate. If you do business mainly in one state, and incorporate there, you just file the one state tax return and be done with it. (If your income is from intangible property, you may want to consult a tax professional about this. This paper discusses the Delaware tax haven for royalties and its effect on state revenues.)
As you can see, the reasons to incorporate in your home state are more relevant to smaller businesses. A small company, e.g. a new brewery, might have investors who know the business is locally based. The quality (prestige?) of the court system is probably not an important consideration because the company is not expecting to get sued any time soon. The brewery's home state's law might do a fine job answering a few questions to get set up. Avoiding extra administrative requirements makes it easier to get the real work done.
As a business gets bigger, the reasons to incorporate in Delaware grow. A venture capitalist investing millions might want a Delaware corporation. A big business can expect lawsuits, so a great court system and highly detailed case law for corporate matters makes a difference. (By the way, Delaware companies can only keep some, not all, of their litigation in Delaware courts. They can still be sued in another state, for example, if a faulty product hurts someone in that other state). A big corporation does not care if it has to file several annual reports–it's worth it.
If you have a new small business that mostly operates in one state, e.g. where your headquarters are, then there's probably no need to run off to Delaware, just because some parts of the herd do that. Incorporating in your home state probably makes more sense for a new small business.
Can a Housing Co-op Ban Members from Having Guns?
A question came up recently about guns–not something I normally deal with. A client wanted to know what the new Illinois concealed carry law (see statute here) means for their properties. This client is a landlord who wants to create co-op-like rental housing, and they wanted to know whether the concealed carry law means that tenants would have a right to have guns in the properties.
Something didn't seem right about this. Landlords can prohibit pets. Co-ops make all kinds of rules, like prohibiting personal items from the common space, or not allowing any alcohol on the premises.
Here's how to think about this, legally: the U.S. Constitution says what our government is and what it does. Some parts of the Constitution say what the government cannot do. The Second Amendment says, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." The Second Amendment itself does not say who shall not infringe, but the U.S. Supreme Court has held that it means the government (not individuals). After the Supreme Court's holding in McDonald v. City of Chicago, it means the federal and state governments (including local government bodies). In sum, the second amendment does not allow any federal, state, or local government to prohibit keeping handguns in the home for self-defense.
BUT the second amendment does not apply to individuals. (And that wouldn't really make sense–individuals don't generally get to make rules about what items others may or may not own). If a landlord prohibited all guns on the property, even legal ones, and an unhappy tenant complained about it, that tenant would not have a case. So the good news: the new Illinois concealed carry law does not require you to allow guns on your property. Picture an old-timey saloon, where patrons had to turn over firearms before entering.
How to Do a Private Placement, aka Raising Capital From Your Friends
If you've been reading articles for entrepreneurs on the internet, you've probably read much advice on fund-raising. So you may already know that a "private placement" is a campaign where a business sells an investment to one or a few investors, to raise money to start a new business or expand a profitable one.
You probably hear of people raising millions of dollars from people they know. If you don't know a multi-millionaire who's ready to invest in your business, read on…
You can probably still raise enough money by combining investments from several people. How?
1. First, decide what you are offering. How much do you need to raise? Do you want to offer debt, where you will have fixed payments no matter how much you will make, or equity, where you will have to give away some of your business? Or a revenue share? What terms can you offer, where you know you'll be able to pay the investors back and make a profit?
2. Write up a disclosure document (often called "private placement memorandum"). This document tells your potential investors what you're offering, and it should include everything they might want to know to help them make the decision to invest or not. So all information about your business, your assets, and how their money will help you make money, will go in here. It also explains the investment you're offering.
3. Identify the people to whom you will offer this investment. As of September 23, 2013, you will have a choice. You can advertise your offering publicly if you only sell the investment to accredited investors (briefly: wealthy people). OR you can sell to up to 35 non-wealthy people if you don't advertise. OR you can sell to an unlimited number of non-wealthy people if you raise under $1 Million and don't advertise. There's more to these rules, and I recommend consulting a lawyer to make sure you're following securities law.
4. File certain forms with the appropriate regulatory agencies. Typically, it's something called Form D. If you're offering in multiple states, you need to file with the federal SEC and in all states in which you're offering the investment (or if you're using the new rule, just the states where someone purchases). If you only offer to Illinois residents, depending on the size of your campaign, you may be able to use just the simplest of these forms, Illinois 4G.
5. Run your campaign. Reach out to your contacts, letting them know about your offer. Do whatever it is that business people do to make deals.
6. When someone indicates interest, you give them the disclosure document. If they agree to purchase, you "close" the transaction. You both sign a contract for the investment, you give them documentation of the investment–usually a note or stock certificate, and you take their money.
7. Not done yet… you need a system for keeping track of your obligations. You pay the loans back as they become due, or pay dividends according to your bylaws and agreements. It's also important to make sure you keep records to show you're complying with securities rules.
This is a quick overview, not legal advice. Securities law is a serious thing. If you offer unregistered investments to the public, you could be breaking the law, and if you defraud people, you could get in serious trouble. To find out what counsel does for you when you raise money, this post explains. If you have a campaign in mind and would like to talk to me about it, check out my legal services for capital-raising, or send me a message.
Why Incorporate In Delaware? – Quick Version
You've heard Delaware is the place to incorporate–but should you?
In general, incorporating in Delaware is better for a large business, and incorporating in your home state is better for a small local business.
Advantages for bigger businesses that don't help small/local start-ups:
- Large, detailed, and up-to-date collection of court decisions means most legal questions about corporate law have already been answered. This means that when a conflict comes up, you can probably avoid litigation because it's clear how a court would rule. This doesn't help a new, small company that isn't facing corporate law disputes. And this only applies to corporate organizational matters and contracts formed in Delaware, not other types of disputes, for example, if an Illinois customer gets hurt using a product bought in Illinois.
- If your income is royalties, incorporating in Delaware could reduce your taxes. This does nothing for a new brewery, for example, because for income other than royalties, you file and pay tax in the state where you actually make the income.
- A lot of it is reputation. Delaware corporate law is a known quantity, and high-dollar investors may feel more comfortable investing in a Delaware corporation. That is not a good reason for a new, small company without demanding VCs to incorporate in Delaware.
Disadvantages to incorporating in Delaware if that's not your home state, that big businesses don't care about:
- You'll still have to register with the Secretary of State's Office where your primary office is and where you have a significant presence, like a retail space. That registration is just as expensive as incorporating, so you're paying double filing fees. The fee is only about $150, plus the cost of having someone do it, so this matters more to small businesses.
- You'll have to file 2 annual reports, pay 2 states' franchise tax, and file 2 sets of state tax forms (at least).
- Securities law. Any time you sell someone the opportunity to invest in your business, where they put in money and expect a return (without doing any work themselves), that's a security. Securities are highly regulated, and you almost always have to file some forms with at least state, and usually federal and state governments. But if you're doing most of your business in one state, and you're incorporated in that state, and you're raising capital only from people who live in your home state, then federal law says "We'll let state law handle it." This cuts your filing fees and costs, but it only works if you're incorporated in your home state.
I wrote a more detailed explanation for this article on www.triplepundit.com.
Simple Explanation of Why Businesses Incorporate in Delaware
Have you heard there's a new benefit corporation statute in Delaware? As you may know, Delaware is the go-to state for organizing business entities… so does that mean your new benefit corporation should incorporate in Delaware? First you should understand why businesses incorporate in Delaware in the first place. For larger businesses or those seeking major venture capital, there's a benefit. For new, small businesses or locally-based businesses, there are probably more drawbacks than benefits. My recent post on triplepundit.com gives you a clear, simple explanation of why to incorporate in Delaware, or not.
Hey Delaware, Thanks for the new Benefit Corp. Statute
You can incorporate there no matter where you do business, and take advantage of Delaware's friendly legal set-up for businesses. The Secretary of State's filing system is easy to use. Delaware's long history of deciding business law cases now gives business owners clear answers on any legal question that might come up. That means you can find the rules ahead of time and avoid litigation (in other states, there might not be a clear answer). Business owners also incorporate in Delaware so that investors will know what they're getting–a business under Delaware law, and they're comfortable with that.
So we should be excited that Delaware just enacted Benefit Corporation legislation, right? Well, I was just reading that statute for another article I'm working on, and saw this:
(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, a corporation that is not a public benefit corporation, may not, without the approval of 90% of the outstanding shares of each class of the stock of the corporation of which there are outstanding shares, whether voting or nonvoting:
(1) Amend its certificate of incorporation to include a provision authorized by § 362(a)(1) of this title; or
(2) Merge or consolidate with or into another entity if, as a result of such merger or consolidation, the shares in such corporation would become, or be converted into or exchanged for the right to receive, shares or other equity interests in a domestic or foreign public benefit corporation or similar entity.
Translation: If a business is not already a benefit corporation, it cannot become one without approval of 90% of all shares. Even shares that don't normally have the right to vote. Ninety percent. (In contrast, Illinois requires the "minimum status vote," which is 2/3 or as low as 1/2 if the Articles of Incorporation say so). This applies to all existing corporations in Delaware, because the benefit corp. statute is brand new.
Delaware has made it very difficult to convert an existing corporation to a benefit corporation. This makes sense from a business perspective, if you assume that such a conversion would hurt the value of the stock (I disagree with this, maybe naively). It's a compromise that may have helped pass the statute by addressing the concerns of stockholders who don't want their investment "threatened" without their permission.
But this compromise leaves us stuck where we are. It just makes me picture a gigantic mass of corporations–our economy–that cannot shift towards benefit corporation status. Like a large ship that already takes a long time to turn around, this provision makes it take even longer.
What Is a Worker Cooperative?
You've clicked over here because you want to see if a business you're involved in should be a worker co-op. What exactly is a worker co-op?
A business just needs a couple of basic features to be considered a worker cooperative.
Democratic Control. A worker co-op makes its decisions democratically. One person = one vote. This is quite different from voting in a corporation, where owners vote based on the number of shares they own. Owners of an LLC determine among themselves how decisions will be made, so if those owners agree that all owners will have an equal vote, they are already part way to operating as a worker co-op.
Each Worker's Earnings are Based on What She/He Puts In. In order for a business to be considered a cooperative for tax purposes, earnings must be distributed to owners based on "patronage." "Patronage" means "business done with or for" the cooperative. In other words, the co-op as a whole decides how to measure each worker's contribution. It's usually based on hours worked, and you can add a premium for whatever might be extra valuable, like bringing in new business. Some co-ops pay higher for the jobs no one wants to do, to make sure those tasks will be covered. This way of figuring each worker's compensation means that one worker won't be paid more and another paid less just because of chance, when they were hired, how much they previously made, and other vagaries of salary negotiations.
Commitment to the Cooperative Principles. People who organize their business in this democratic way generally adopt the internationally recognized cooperative principles.
Addressing some misconceptions:
A worker co-op is a for-profit business. A worker co-op's goal is generally to make money and provide some product or service, and a non-profit cannot distribute income to its owners.
A worker co-op can have employees. In a worker co-op, the business is owned by its workers. That does not mean that the co-op has to immediately allow anyone to become a member. Most co-ops have a trial period, where a prospective member works as an employee first. The co-op sets up its own qualification for new members and can take the time to make sure someone is a good fit.
Further Reading: To learn more about how to start your new worker co-op or transition an existing business into a worker co-op, I recommend this guide from the Sustainable Economies Law Center, and this guide from the Northcountry Cooperative Foundation.

Oarsman Extraordinary
By ARTHUR DALEY ();
June 24, 1960,
, Section , Page 23, Column , words
OF recent years Jack Kelly basked proudly in the reflected glory of his daughter, Princess Grace of Monaco. Yet here was a remarkable man who never had required any reflections of glory because he had won all the fame he would ever need by his own brains, brawn, ingenuity and personality.

Well, the press conference is over. Once again, I took pictures of everyone else with the senator and had no pictures taken with him myself. Oh well. It's fun to be behind the lens. I think it was a successful event. Not to mention important. Parents as Teachers is such a vital program. But I am too wiped out to soapbox on that right now.
I had a blast at the Hootenanny Open Mic at Frederick's Music Lounge last night. Maybe a little too much of a blast considering today's big events. But it was worth it. Thanks to Tracie, Kristi and my new friend Steve for the awesome time. Not to mention some very good and unique performers.
I'm out. Have a good weekend!

Aktuell Die Photographische Sammlung Adresse Öffnungszeiten Kontakt / Impressum Presse english
Die Photographische Sammlung / SK Stiftung Kultur, Cologne Based on the work of the important German photographer August Sander, the Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur set up by the Stadtsparkasse Köln (Cologne Commercial and Savings Bank) concentrates its field of activity on factual documentary and conceptual photography. This tightly-defined collection area is the focal point of the research and exhibition activities. As of 1996 the Photographische Sammlung has been housed along with other sections of the foundation in the Mediapark, Cologne. Here, it has at its disposal facilities matching those of a museum: archive and study rooms, as well as a specialist library to which students, experts and the public have access on an appointment basis. Two spacious exhibition areas which can be used separately enable an active cycle of shows to be staged here on the Collection's own premises. A regular feature of the program shown here is the comparison between classical modern art and contemporary photographic concepts. These events are developed in cooperation with the artists concerned. Guided tours and lectures accompany the exhibitions and the Photographische Sammlung regularly publishes findings from its research work in house publications and exhibition catalogs. The August Sander Archive represents the foundations of the photographic collection. Thanks to the support of the Stadtsparkasse Köln and a grant from the Kulturstiftung der Länder (state cultural foundation), it was possible, at the end of 1992, to acquire the works of August Sander (18761964) for the city of Cologne. Since being assigned to the SK Stiftung Kultur the August Sander collection has been expanded on an ongoing basis through the acquisition or loan of works and donations. The collection which meanwhile boasts more than 4,500 original prints and around 11,000 glass negatives represents the largest August Sander collection in the world. Thanks to a donation by the REWE head office in Cologne, the collection not only includes the photographer's extensive correspondence and personal library, but also technical equipment and furniture from his study and home. The city of Cologne and the surrounding countryside were, in addition to regular visits to the Westerwald, the center and starting point of August Sander's work over a period of thirty years. In 1911 he opened his studio at Dürener Straße 201, the place he developed his unique portfolio entitled "People of the 20th Century". In these portraits he succeeded in showing the personalities and characteristics of the people he photographed, thereby producing an impressive picture of contemporary society. Over and above these famous portrait shots, Sander repeatedly turned his attention during his long creative period to architectural and landscape photography. In 1993 the Foundation purchased the collection of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Photographie (German Society for Photography) which comprises some 1,700 photographs taken by various internationally famous photographers. Set up in 1951 in Cologne and enlarged mainly through donations from the various artists, this collection today conveys an impressive picture of artistic, but also scientific, technical and documentary-oriented photography, mainly in Germany. The collection includes numerous works by August Sander, and also works by other famous photographers such as Hugo Erfurth, Karl Hugo Schmölz, Willi Moegle, Otto Steinert, Albert Renger-Patzsch and Henri Cartier-Bresson. A cooperation with artists Bernd and Hilla Becher (*1931/*1934) begun in 1996 forms the link between classical modern art and contemporary art. In a period spanning more than 40 years, this artist couple devoted itself to the photographic documentation of industrial architecture in Europe and North America. Their precise, strictly object-oriented, documentary approach serves to illustrate the huge diversity of style in anonymous, functional buildings, and make them accessible for formal-aesthetic comparisons by grouping them in typologies and series. The cooperation between Bernd and Hilla Becher and the SK Stiftung Kultur examines the artists' photographic descriptions of industrial buildings which they began early in their career. Alongside industrial landscapes and general and individual views of working plants and buildings, they unite the visual treatment of individual objects as well as detailed shots of important sections, thus documenting the structural composition of the plant and making it visually understandable. By cooperating with artists and other archives whose own collections are closely related to the Foundation's own, the Photographische Sammlung sees an opportunity of steering its research work to extend beyond its own collection. The four-year long cooperation agreement (19941998) with Ann and Jürgen Wilde who own Karl Blossfeldt (18651932) and Albert Renger-Patzsch (18971966) archives has given rise to important exhibitions and publications. It is in this light that the inclusion of works by young photographers is to be seen. The latest partnership forged in 1999 is with the Berlin Hochschule der Künste and their Karl Blossfeldt collection. The joint project centers on research work by the Photographische Sammlung into the 600 original Blossfeldt plant photographs belonging to the academy, as well as teaching materials and documents in their possession, with a view to presenting them to the public by means of publications and exhibitions. Blossfeldt's plant photographs which are among the most significant works of the New Objectivity, were initially created from the turn of the century onwards for didactic, documentary purposes. Today, they present themselves to the observer as typological studies of an elementary blending of art and nature, allowing a comparison with artistic concepts from the modern age. The Photographische Sammlung/SK Stiftung Kultur is not a photographic museum in the classical sense, in that it is not concerned with examining the history of the medium in great detail. Rather, the focus of work emerges from the subjects it deals with. The aim is to establish and expand a research institution, which when combined with a regular exhibition program, creates a lively stage for an examination of the medium of photography. Dr. Susanne Lange Director of the Photographische Sammlung/ SK Stiftung Kultur

Read:Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1897-1927If there is no God, that fact has political consequences. If there is no God, then people are just material beings, an odd cosmic coincidence. If there is no God, our yearnings for love and friendship and truth and beauty are not what they seem. They are just biological impulses. And if different people have different sorts of impulses then there is certainly no basis for saying one person's impulses are right and another's are wrong. Those impulses just are -- random bits of energy in a cosmos without morality. What would a humane politics be like in such a universe? It would, first, try to ensure that everyone had the "right" to act upon their impulses. If someone had an inclination to, say, sadomasochism then they should be able to act upon that impulse. But, second, politics would ensure that one person's exercise of his or her impulses would not unduly interfere with other people acting upon their impulses. So political authority would simply be a matter of constraining people from trampling on each others' toes. There would, in fact, be no distinction between political authority and political power. Political authority in this atheistic, but liberal, world would be nothing more than the exercise of power to preserve people's right to do as they please. Political authority would always have to be on guard against those nut cases who believed there is such a thing as objective morality to prevent those people from imposing that morality on others. They would be the greatest threat to liberty that could exist. In fact, if it's not already there, the Western world is moving rapidly in the direction of viewing political authority in just this way. This world view was summed up quite neatly a few years ago in the U.S. Supreme Court decision (Casey vs. Planned Parenthood) which stated, "At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, of the mystery of human life." In other words, there is no truth, moral or otherwise. However, if there is a God who has created the universe then that would have political consequences too. It would mean that there is purpose and meaning in the cosmos. And if the human person were created with free will -- the ability to choose between right and wrong -- then it would seem to be of the utmost importance to know what is right and what is wrong and to always do the morally good thing. It would also mean that our yearnings for love, friendship and truth are not mere biological impulses, but an important part of our human identity. We form communities not just to survive but also as places where we can fulfil ourselves by entering into relationships with others. Political authority in this sort of universe would not be identified with power although it would include the imposition of constraints on people's behaviour for the sake of the common good. More basically, political authority would involve the ordering of the human community so that good can flourish and evil can be avoided. It would encourage the development of virtue and it would, so far as is reasonable, discourage the exercise of vice. In short, the basis of political authority would be morality, not power. In such a situation, it would be important that those in authority be people of virtue. Part of being a scoundrel is to blind oneself as much as possible to the light of the truth. And if one is walking in moral darkness, he can hardly be a guide leading the community into the light. It could also be helpful for those in authority to share their authority as far as is reasonable so that all parts of the social organism are full of life and initiative. Many functions can be better carried out by smaller communities within the large community. For example, except for the most extreme situations, children should be reared by their parents rather than by the government. When authority is properly exercised there will be a flourishing of true freedom. Not the freedom which sullenly says, "I can do whatever I please," but the freedom which obeys legitimate authority and honours that which is morally good and which strives to foster the good in others. In the Western world, we tend to privatize faith and religion, leaving the public domain to those who are functionally atheistic. But there is a question of fact here -- Is there a God or is there no God? And if there is a God then that should have significant implications for the way political authority is conceived and exercised.

JIM LEHRER: The fall of the Afghan capital of Kabul to the Northern Alliance. It happened late last night, U.S. time, as the Taliban emptied out of the city and the Alliance troops moved in. They were accompanied by western reporters, who had traveled with them on their quick weekend march through Northern Afghanistan's major cities. We start with this report from Julian Manyon of Independent Television News.
JULIAN MANYON: Early this morning we headed for Kabul on a road that until last night was the front line. Fearing encirclement the Taliban had pulled out of all their positions on the Shamali plain. All that was left was abandoned equipment and the massive craters left by American bombs.
A village, which had served as a Taliban headquarters, was almost completely destroyed. On our way we passed jubilant Northern Alliance troops racing towards the Afghan capital. They had been urged by President Bush to halt outside the city. For the moment, most of them had. A couple of miles outside Kabul, Alliance armor and truckloads of troops formed a massive traffic jam as security men held them back.
We struggled to get through. We were among the first journalists to get into the city, and we were immediately greeted by delighted crowds celebrating the departure of the Taliban.
MAN: I feel very happy because the Taliban troops went from Kabul. People of Afghanistan don't like those people.
JULIAN MANYON: One man waved a piece of a Taliban turban, the symbol of their fanatically religious government. On a hillside above the city, shots rang out as alliance soldiers hunted down a few Taliban who had failed to escape with the rest. After a chase on foot, the men surrendered and were led away to face Northern Alliance justice. We found other evidence of the Taliban retreat: A vehicle wrecked by an American air strike.
This is the debris of defeat -- a Taliban pickup truck which was packed with their soldiers destroyed by an American missile as it tried to flee Kabul. The bodies of the dead soldiers hideously mangled have been hauled over to the side of the road over there. Nearby we found a military base, which the Americans bombed repeatedly in recent weeks, destroying armor and wrecking buildings.
And late yesterday, as the Taliban were pulling out, the Americans bombed the villa which had housed their head of security for Kabul. The bombs missed their target because the men had fled two days before. I met the owner of the house who had been forced to hand it over to the Taliban.
MAN: You aren't going to pay the rent. And they told us if you come in this area, we will shoot you. Yes.
JULIAN MANYON: You weren't allowed to come back to your own house.
MAN: Yes.
JULIAN MANYON: By lunchtime floods of troops were entering the city, breaking their government's pledge that they would remain outside. The takeover will make America's declared aim of building a broad coalition government more difficult, but Washington will still be celebrating this resounding defeat inflicted on the Taliban.
JIM LEHRER: More now on the reaction in Kabul. Alex Thompson of Independent Television News was also there.
ALEX THOMPSON: Joy and the simple act of flying a kite again; that great Afghan passion which the Taliban tried so hard to stamp out. And in music coming from the few bazaars open today, and, of course, in the crowds gathering to cheer parties of Alliance soldiers wherever they appeared as they began entering the city this morning. There was a roundabout near the city center, which became speaker's corner as people gave vent to their relief.
MAN: We thank God for delivering us from them. They sold our country.
MAN: Army and Northern Alliance coming and... here in Kabul. We are very happy
ALEX THOMPSON: Another man said the Taliban were just cultural vandals.
MAN: They are persons who want to... destroy our country, who want to destroy our culture.
MAN: We will shave it as soon as possible.
ALEX THOMPSON: And sure enough, street barbers were busy eradicating the symbol of Talibanism from some chins, though the vast majority of men here, the Northern Alliance included, prefer to keep their beards. Just as many women will still prefer to wear the burkha, but in post-Taliban Kabul, at least they know they've got the choice.
WOMAN: As a woman, I feel tranquil and free in Kabul. We want peace, we want the burkha to be removed and we want to work.
ALEX THOMPSON: But there was also dangerous anger on the streets here, too. "Death to Pakistan," they chanted. A body at the center of this mob; they said it was an Arab Taliban being spat at, kicked and abused. Thus, within a matter of hours, Kabul had made another of her historic shifts.
This time from eastern-backed fundamentalism to western-backed opposition. And it's not just policing. Tanks roared through the city center much to the delight of onlookers, but to the horror of some a little further afield. A sight to make Pakistan flinch and the United States worry. Although the Northern Alliance did say that they'd stop on the outskirts of Kabul-- and they did for a while-- it's now early afternoon and they're rolling their heavy armor right into the center of the city. "Don't be concerned," explained a general, "it's not what it looks like."
MAN: If you've seen tanks in the city, they're going to surround Kabul, not to stay in town. So they're just crossing the city, east, west and south.
ALEX THOMPSON: We were the first journalists allowed into Kabul's airport. The soldiers first carefully removed the Taliban flag. No burning or insulting it because it bears the central words of the Koran.
JIM LEHRER: Within 12 hours of the fall of Kabul, the Northern Alliance foreign minister said his group was ready to share political power in Afghanistan. British Prime Minister Tony Blair called for the United Nations to establish a presence in Kabul as soon as possible. The U.N. Special Envoy for Afghanistan met with the Security Council in New York. He proposed establishing a multi-national security force and a plan for a transitional government to run the country.

My primary source for this article comes from some papers left by someone on my table. It looks like it might have been someone's outline for a lesson, but I don't really know. I liked the ideas, so I am choosing to use them.
This article, entitled "Choice and Accountability," says that as humans we tend to be conditioned to do the same thing over and over. You'll see that in your children as they interact with each other. As a parent you can start to teach them that they don't have to react that way. They can make different choices.
We can teach our children that they can choose to make weaknesses strengths. We can point out to them how the participants in the Paralympics have chosen to excel in sports in spite of what the rest of us would call incredible odds. We can point out how many blind children choose to learn Braille, go to college, get married and have a family. We see children in wheelchairs who are friendly and excel. Often families with a child who is disabled express gratitude for the disabled child because they have learned a different level of love.
Accountability enables us to take charge of our thoughts, feelings, and actions, regardless of the actions of others. Ac-cording to this material we and our children need to take responsibility for success and failures. We need to be careful of justification, rationalization, or becoming defensive. Here is a list of how we try to avoid being accountable for our choices:
- I had no choice: We always have a choice.
- I had no control: i.e., a couple or teen argues, the phone rings and they can change their tone of voice so fast!
- I don't know! We sometimes claim not to know something, but in our heart of hearts, we did know.
- I forgot: To say that we forgot when we choose not to remember seeks to avoid accountability.
- I'll try: That is a cop out and a lie. We know we will either do it or not.
- If you do. . . then I'll do: This strategy places conditions between us and our goals. It sets up hoops for them to jump through. It is emotionally unfair.
- Nobody told me: This takes responsibility away from us and blames someone else.
- That is just the way I am! We are either moving forward and progressing or we are rolling backwards. We don't just stay the same.
- I don't have time: We all have the exact same amount of time--24 hours in a day; how we choose to spend our time becomes the issue.
I hope we teach our children that "when we are accountable for our choices in our lives we find peace and are able to focus on what we want to create in our lives. Once we have made a choice, the consequences begin and if we don't like the results, which come from that choice, then simply forgive ourselves and choose again."
We all create our own realities.

According to the most-recent polls, ANTHONY WEINER is only gonna get around 7% of the vote in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor. But he's still out trying to scare up votes.
And on Wednesday, he did the weather report on "Good Day New York". Or at least, he tried to. But they didn't have a prompter set up, so he just winged it for about 30 seconds and cracked a few lame jokes.

Stay Cool, Save Money
The Missouri Department of Natural Resources Division of Energy would like to share with you the U.S. Department of Energy's Top 10 Tips to Stay Cool, Save Money.
1. Maintain air filters and HVAC equipment
Well-maintained equipment runs more efficiently, so replace or clean filters as needed and have your air conditioner unit serviced annually.
2. Set your thermostat as high as is comfortable
The smaller the difference between the indoor and outdoor temperatures, the lower your overall cooling bill will be. Running the AC at 78°F instead of 72°F can save 6%-18% on your cooling bill.
3. Draw your drapes
Keep your blinds, shades and curtains closed on south and west-facing windows during the day to block the heat of direct sunlight.
4. Stop cool air from escaping
Cool air can go right out the window. Add weatherstripping on doors and windows and caulk the cracks to keep cool air in and hot air from leaking into your home.
5. Properly insulate your attic
Install modern insulation to lower heating and cooling costs. On warm days, attic temperatures can get up to 140°F. In high cooling climates, a radiant barrier installed under the roof deck and/or a continuous ridge and soffit vent can effectively lower attic temperatures.
6. Plant trees or shrubs for shade
A good landscaping plan can do wonders. For instance, properly placed trees around the house can save between $100 and $250 annually.
7. Install ceiling fans
A ceiling fan can make a room feel 6 or 7 degrees cooler while using less energy than a 100-watt light bulb. Run fans only when people are in the room.
8. Go oven-less at meal time
Use the microwave, toaster or a counter-top grill, all of which use less energy than a full-sized oven, when you need to prepare small portions of food.
9. Unplug electronics and appliances when not in use
Use multiple-outlet strips so you can turn everything off with one flip of a switch. Leaving a computer on all day can cost about 21 cents per day, or about $75 per year.
10. Replace incandescent bulbs with compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs)
Lighting makes up about 10% of home energy costs, and CFLs can save up to 75% of that energy. They also last longer, saving money on replacements.
For more in depth information on staying cool and saving money this summer please check out DOE's Energy Savers Stay Cool, Save Money website or contact the Division of Energy.

Taking a chunk out of educationBudget cuts have meant drastic changes for school districtsFacing their third consecutive year of cuts to state aid, Kansas school districts have resorted to closing or reconfiguring schools, cutting staff and delaying the implementation of programming.
Communities have been devastated and outraged at school closings, parents and teachers have grown concerned about ballooning class sizes and district leadership has become frustrated at classroom space sitting unused because of lack of funds to pay instructors. Cuts are getting closer to the students. "Until this year, parents have not really felt the pain of the cuts," said Smoky Valley Superintendent Glen Suppes. "They've seen that their kid is still happy, has a teacher, has a desk and they think things are pretty good. But now the cuts are getting closer and the parents are starting to get upset. "We need them to be voicing their opinions in Topeka rather than getting angry at us and at each other." Closing schools Last month, The News surveyed Kansas school districts asking superintendents a number of questions about how they're coping with state aid cuts, and 72 of the 286 districts responded. Of those that responded, about 9 percent had closed or reconfigured one or more schools. This included the Haven School District, which closed Mount Hope Elementary School, and the Smoky Valley School District, which moved Marquette Middle School students, who were housed in the grade school, to Lindsborg Middle School. In Haven, the closure of Mount Hope angered Mount Hope patrons, who said there were other places the district could make cuts. Because of the decision to close the school, which the Haven School Board said was driven by inadequate state funding, just over 20 percent of the former Mount Hope Elementary enrollment transferred to other districts. When the Smoky Valley School District began considering moving Marquette Middle School students to Lindsborg, the community stepped in. The student body, local residents and alums from across the country rallied in a fundraising effort of just 10 days, bringing in $115,000 in pledges. The campaign, dubbed the "Marquette Miracle," was hugely successful and still was $71,000 short of what was needed to keep the school in Marquette another year. Moving the students was one of many measures the Smoky Valley district took to cut $500,000 from its budget this year to deal with state funding cuts. While it saved the district money, the move also resulted in larger classes at Lindsborg Middle School and removed the Marquette community's cherished sports program. Suppes said he knows Marquette parents are frustrated, and he shares their frustration. "(The Legislature) want us to do better with less," he said. "The Legislature can say we have the power to choose whether we'll cut programs, but it's to the point that it's not 'if' we'll cut, but 'what' we'll cut." Larger classes, more needs, less staff Cuts to teaching staff, which have included both layoffs and leaving open positions after a retirement or resignation, have led to larger class sizes in many districts as well. Hutchinson's USD 308 increased its Local Option Budget by 1.88 mills this year to make up for $286,135 in lost state equalization aid. Yet despite higher local taxes, the district still had to cut 8.95 jobs, including 4.25 teachers, this year, and a total of 47 jobs over three years. Superintendent Shelly Kiblinger said those cuts have meant larger class sizes - 27, 28 and 29 students in some kindergarten classes - reductions in after-school programs, less classroom teaching materials, less maintenance staff despite having more to care for, no pay raises and the loss of some staff to better paying jobs. "Students have greater needs, and we have fewer resources to serve them with," Kiblinger said. With teachers handling more students than ever, districts are concerned about staff buckling under the strain. "Our teachers are getting taxed," Suppes said. "They are worn out and we don't have resources for them." In the Lyons School District, three certified teachers were cut last year and eight have been cut over the last three years - or nearly 12 percent of the district's teaching staff, said USD 405 Superintendent Gary Sechrist. "We tried not to make our cuts with flesh and blood because our teachers and students are the most important part of the district," Sechrist said. "But we are at the point where we are starting to bleed." The growing Dodge City School District hasn't had to lay off teachers. In fact, the district has added 10 to 12 positions in the last three years, as enrollment grew by more than 600 students. Without that growth, Superintendent Alan Cunningham estimates state aid cuts would have forced him to eliminate at least 25 teaching jobs plus other support staff. Still, Cunningham said Dodge City needs more teachers. While board policy suggests class sizes not exceed 22, most of the district's kindergarten and first-grade classes are "well over" that size, Cunningham said. "The biggest thing I'm concerned about is you can get to the point ... where you get so many students in a teacher's classroom that no matter how good the teacher is and how many resources they have available to them, there comes a point where you just can't meet the needs of that many students," he said, adding that Dodge City's high at-risk and English Language Learner student populations further affect teachers' ability to successfully work with students. "My speech is that most of these kids are exceptionally smart students," he said. "They just need a little more time and a little different approach in order to be successful. And the more kids you put in a classroom, the less time a teacher has to help them reach that success." New and unused space In the Hutchinson School District, voters in 2006 approved a $78.8 million bond project that included the expansion of the high school's vocational space. The new Career and Technical Education Academy includes space for marine and recreation vehicle or motorcycle repair, but the district was unable to pay an instructor to teach the class because of cuts to state aid, Superintendent Kiblinger said. "Since the start of the school year, the room has been sitting empty," Kiblinger said, adding that soon the district, in cooperation with Hutchinson Community College, will use the room for a renewable energy lab. The growing Goddard School District cut 29 jobs this year, but protected teaching positions as it opened its second high school. Still, the district doesn't have the operating budget to add new programs now that it finally has the space for them - such as more career and technical education classes for high school students and expanding half-day kindergarten to all-day kindergarten. "The more career and technical education options we can get for students, (it) will better prepare them for what lies ahead of them after high school, whether it's college or going straight into the workforce," Goddard Superintendent Justin Henry said, adding that research shows the unmistakable value of all-day kindergarten.

Award Winning Sculptor
A. E. Ted Aub is an award-winning sculptor and professor of art at Hobart and William Smith Colleges, where he has held an academic appointment since 1981. His work has been exhibited in prestigious juried art competitions throughout the U.S. and internationally, including a show at the Taiwan Museum of Art. Within the upstate New York region, Aub has been included in the Finger Lakes Exhibition at the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, the Everson Biennial in Syracuse, and the New York State Museum in Albany, among others. Aub's exhibited work is often described as abstract figuration, reflecting the formal and surreal influences of Elie Nadelman, Rene Magritte, and Rufino Tamayo.
Aub's commissioned works include several public sculptures such as "When Anthony Met Stanton," which portrays Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and Amelia Bloomer. This sculpture was commissioned by Govenor George Pataki as a tribute to the women's suffrage movement and is set along Van Cleef Lake in Seneca Falls, N.Y. Aub's "Elizabeth Blackwell" resides in the quadrangle at Hobart and William Smith Colleges from which she graduated in 1849, and is an historical sculpture of the first woman to receive a medical degree in the United States. He completed a series of sculptures for the Village of Merrick Park in Coral Gables, Fla.
In December 2003, he unveiled a sculture commissioned by Nazareth College in honor of the late Jack Morse, an art professor. This piece is a hand with a bird resting upon it.
Aub's other honors include the Memorial Art Gallery Award (1990, 1994) from the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, a purchase prize from Lamar Dodd Art Center in Lagrange, Georgia, a merit award from the Roberson Museum and Science Center in Binghamton, the F. M. Howell Award from the Arnot Art Museum in Elmira, N.Y., and more.
Interview opportunities and additional background information may be requested through the Office of Communications, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, Geneva, New York. Phone: (315) 781-3540. After business hours, Communications staff members are accessible through contact information on their answering machine at that number.
Ted Aub, a professor of art at Hobart and William Smith, attended Brooklyn Museum Art School as a Max Beckmann Scholar, and has an MFA degree in sculpture from Brooklyn College and a BFA degree in painting from Washington University, St. Louis, Mo.
During sabbaticals, Aub has worked in Pietrasanta, Italy. At Hobart and William Smith he has served as chair of the art department and architectural studies program, and has curated exhibits at the Colleges' Houghton House Gallery.

All of life and human relations have become so incomprehensibly complex that, when you think about it, it becomes terrifying and your heart stands still.
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov
Hardly we find the path of love, to sink the self, forget the "I," When sad suspicion grips the heart, when Man, the Man begins to die:
Sir Richard Francis Burton
My own soul is my most faithful friend. My own heart, my truest confidant.
Zahir ud Din Muhammad Babur
I love my gallant captain with all my heart and soul and might, and never will desert him, while God lets us be together. Oh, Mother, I never knew how much like heaven this world could be, when two people love and live for one another!
Alcott, Louisa May
We seek pitifully to convey to others the treasures of our heart, but they have not the power to accept them, and so we go lonely, side by side but not together, unable to know our fellows and unknown by them.
William Somerset Maugham
The more any man is in the contemplation of truth, the more fairer and firmer impression is made upon his heart by truth.
Thomas Brooks
The great threat to the young and pure in heart is not what they read but what they do not read.
Heywood Broun
Love has its own instinct, finding the way to the heart, as the feeblest insect finds the way to its flower, with a will which nothing can dismay nor turn aside.
Honor de Balzac
He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart, will one day realize it.
James Allen
Cherish your visions; cherish your ideals; cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts, for out of them will grow all delightful conditions, all, heavenly environment; of these, if you but remain true to them, your world will at last be built.
James Allen
The heart of another is a dark forest, always, no matter how close it has been to one's own.
Willa Sibert Cather
We live in deeds, not years: In thoughts not breaths; In feelings, not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.
Philip James Bailey
Good leaders make people feel that they're at the very heart of things, not at the periphery.
Warren G. Bennis
Thanksgiving Day comes, by statute, once a year; to the honest man it comes as frequently as the heart of gratitude will allow.
Edward Sandford Martin
Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a giving heart, a wide-open-heart that thinks of others first.
George Matthew Adams
He (Martin Luther King) was very pure in mind and heart. He was a lover: a lover not only of his race but a lover of all mankind. His heart was so broad, so great, so magnanimous, and this gave him a most sincere feeling of absolute oneness with everyone. This is what made him so divinely great.
Sri Chinmoy
I believe talent is like electricity. We don`t understand electricity. We use it. You can plug into it and light up a lamp, keep a heart pump going, light a cathedral, or you can electrocute a person with it. Electricity will do all that. It makes no
Maya Angelou
[Graham Greenes] ability to encapsulate the essence of an exotic setting in a single book is exemplified in The Heart of the Matter (1948); his contemporary Evelyn Waugh stated that the West Africa of that book replaced the true remembered West Africa of his own experience.
