PAGE PAGE 1 Woodson Jessica Woodson Patrick Lawrence English 1010 – 027 October 28, 2009 The Many Uses of Art in Society Art is a widely debatable topic among scholars, viewers, artists and quite frankly, anyone who has ever come in contact with a piece. It surrounds our daily lives and is used for many different purposes. These purposes range broadly from class to class, people to people and viewer to artist. What art is theoretically used for in society and what some say it essentially should be used for varies. There have been controversial debates on this issue with several strong perspectives on the topic. Art has several usages in society; some authors, such as John Berger and Walter Benjamin, support this idea. Other authors, like Pierre Bourdieu and Michel Foucault, refute this idea, saying that there are certain aspects of society that keep art from having multiple uses. There definitely exists more than one role of art; its uses may sometimes be limited, but art should be used in many ways. The use of art is an extensively disputable topic and differs, among various authors, between what it is used for and what it should be used for; because of art's versatility, there are always counterpoints made. Pierre Bourdieu, a French sociologist who built his ideas upon the views of Marxism, firmly makes the point that art is used for the bourgeois to maintain a higher standing in society. He acknowledges that maintaining the bourgeois structure is bad, inevitably keeping art from having multiple uses. It is a cyclical process where the bourgeois live in better circumstances. Because of this, they get better schooling and jobs, so they think they are better than everyone (thinking they can only understand art and not the lower class), when in reality, they can't grasp the fact that that's not true. Bourdieu believes that it is this perspective of the bourgeois that prevents the abundant amount of interpretations that art should be opened to. This idea of arrogance displayed by the bourgeois is illustrated in the line, "The unnatural idea of a culture given at birth, a cultural gift bestowed on certain people by nature, supposes and produces a blindness to the functions of the institution which ensures the profitability of the cultural inheritance, and legitimates its transmission by hiding the fact that it fulfils this function" (Bourdieu 111). The bourgeois, thinking very highly of themselves, believe that their ideas of art are the only ideas that matter and that are accurate in society. This closes off so many opportunities for art to be used in different ways by different people, especially by those of the lower class. They have a control over art against the lower class, which, in turn, keeps art from having multiple uses by narrowing it down to limited possibilities. For instance, a relationship exists between the bourgeois and the control of art, since they are of a higher position in society. Since museums are ran by those who are considered upper class and live in better circumstances, and the bourgeois fall under this category, they control art through museums. They control art by including some, making them feel like they belong, and excluding others. Bourdieu clarifies this idea: "If this is the function of culture, and if the love of art is the clear mark of the chosen, separating, by an invisible and insuperable barrier, those who are touched by it from those who have not received this grace, it is understandable that in the tiniest details of their morphology and their organization, museums betray their true function, which is to reinforce for some the feeling of belonging and the for others the feeling of exclusion" (112). Museums are the place where people are admiring towards art. According to Bourdieu, something mysterious and vaguely religious fills them with a sense of wonder toward what they're viewing. There is in argument between the world of art, which is said to be sacred, and the world of everyday life, which contains profanity. In Bourdieu's essay, it is said that the lower class is being kept out of these museums, limiting the usage of art. Because of the bourgeois' control of art, society claims that in order to appreciate art, one must be a part of a particular class or group, which is not true. It is this belief of the bourgeois that keeps art from having multiple uses, which ruins the broadness of art that makes it special. Michel Foucault, a philosopher, sociologist and historian known for his critical studies, demonstrates an extension of the belief that there are aspects in society that keep art, specifically writing, from having multiple uses. What causes this problem is the fact that not every writer is considered an author. The line between who is and who is not an "author" is blurred and sometimes the idea that someone is an author is incorrect; it depends on whether what they have written is considered "work". Foucault clarifies this idea: "Even when an individual has been accepted as an author, we must still ask whether everything that he wrote, said, or left behind is part of his work. The problem is both theoretical and technical" (Foucault 2). Even if what is written is composed of the elements that label it as "work", and the writer is, indeed, the author, there still lies the thought that what one reads and interprets is not always necessarily the intentions of the author, which prevents pieces from having multiple meanings, and inevitably uses in society. This concept is supported by Foucault as he states, "The notion of writing, as currently employed, is concerned with neither the act of writing nor the indication – be it symptom or sign – of a meaning that someone might have wanted to express. We try, with great effort, to imagine the general condition of each text, the condition of both the space in which it is dispersed and the time in which it unfolds" (Foucault 3). The author of a piece of art may have created the work with a different meaning than what the viewer decodes it to be. A misconception, when the audience does not accurately understand the ideas that the author wanted to express, leads to many meanings from being shut out. The idea that art should be used as a passageway of ideas from viewer to artist that differs from person to person is later supported by Berger. However, this sometimes can result in the identification of the author being mistaken and his/her objective of writing a piece of work to be limited, unavoidably constraining its usefulness. As seen, there seems to be a link between social class and art. Bourdieu speaks of two sets of people whose outlook on art are cast into distinctively different theories. For example, barbarians buy art just for the monetary value, which represents bad taste; civilized people buy art for the value and symbolic meaning along with appreciation behind that meaning, which represents good taste (Bourdieu 111). Bourdieu justifies this concept when he states, "By symbolically shifting the principle distinguishing them from the other classes in the field of economy or culture, or rather, by increasing the strictly economic differences created by the pure possession of material goods through the differences created by the pure possession of symbolic goods such as works of art or through the search for symbolic distinctions in the manner of using these goods…the privileged classes of bourgeois society replace the difference between two cultures, products of history reproduced by education, with the basic difference between two natures, one nature naturally cultivated, and another nature naturally natural" (111). There are different reasons why people, specifically those of different classes, buy art. In reality, who's to say what the worth of a piece of artwork really is? The fact that the bourgeois create a rigid class structure based on economic characteristic limits what art is used for. They use art for the monetary gain in their lives, which is superficial. They are interested in material goods, while the lower class of society is interested in symbolic goods, which is more meaningful. Bourdieu talks about arts use primarily in its current state, which shows the distinction between different types of art buyers. Art should be used for an individual to form ideas about it themselves. What society views as worthy comes to one by their upbringing and outside sources. It does not come from an innate instinct that should guide how we view art for the rest of lives just because we are born into that rank in status. If that were true, the usage of art would be restricted. The belief of the bourgeois that a natural intuition exists, limits the usage of art to just what one is born into, whether it be a higher class or lower class. Bourdieu seems to agree when he makes the statement, "…children from cultivated families who accompany their parents on their visits to museums or special exhibitions in some way borrow from them their disposition to cultural practice for the time it takes them to acquire in turn their own disposition to practice which will give rise to a practice which will give rise to a practice which is both arbitrary and initially arbitrary imposed" (109). Humans learn and grow a taste for a specific element, such as art, through experience and not just by birth into a specific group of people. Through repetition and practice, a greater understanding, and an inevitable personal connection with art grows. Nevertheless, this exposure of art through family is what he says supports the bourgeois in their possession of culture. Everyone gains their view of art from education; this sets up the bourgeois to succeed and the lower classes to fail. Clearly, the outcome of "personal interpretations" of art is that it is nearly impractical to believe that an individual can form ideas about something, primarily based on their own personal ideas. According to Bourdieu, there is always something preventing that, such as ideas inscribed by education and family, which greatly confines the usage of art to only certain viewpoints. Art does not always have a mystical power. Undermining the principle of mystification, people who actually do appreciate art, make sense of a specific piece of art. They appreciate it and forget that it's supposed to be magical just because they learned it. If one is taught the mystical power of art, and knowing this concept is seen as being culturally advanced, someone less culturally advanced actually views art with more appreciation. Personal things, like individual admiration and enjoyment, should really determine taste in art. We find pleasure in the things we like doing, are used to doing and with concepts we are most familiar with and can relate with, and yet, according to Bourdieu, this is a classist activity (109). The idea of familiarity because of repetition is shown through the line, "...in its learned form, aesthetic pleasure presupposes learning, and, in any particular case, learning by habit and exercise, such that is pleasure, an artificial product of art and artifice, which exists or is meant to exist as if it were entirely natural, s in reality a cultivated pleasure (Bourdieu 109). Art should be based on what one decides to believe about it over time rather than what a certain social class raises one to think, because that swallows up a lot of the possibilities of what art could ultimately be used for. Although some authors may say that there are several elements that might stand in the way of art's many uses, there are other authors who believe the opposite to be true. John Berger, a Marxist/humanist art critic, believes that art should have multiple uses. For instance, he explains the correlation between education and visits to museums, and also believes strongly that art is used as a direct witness of the past. Art is obviously being used for two different purposes, based on the social class focused on. Berger explains how art is essential and important compared to other forms of documenting an event. One purpose of images is the fact that they are more precise, compared to works of literature, and filled with more detail, giving viewers a more in depth analysis on what is occurring (Berger 99). Berger takes this stance as he states, "No other kind of relic or text from the past can offer such a direct testimony about the world which surrounded other people at other times" (99). This theory of direct testimony is further reinstated is in the lines, "Images were first made to conjure up the appearance of something that was absent. Gradually it became evident that an image could outlast what it represented…" (Berger 99). Also, the more imaginative the artist is, the easier it is for a viewer to connect with the piece and experience whatever it is the artists had in mind, even if the viewer was not there at that moment in time. Art is a transfer of ideas and emotions, which cannot be put into words, but has to be felt and shared between artists and viewers, almost as if the artist is telling a story. Art should be used as a transmittance of creators to viewers that have individual ways of seeing because it opens the doors for multiple uses. Depending on the creator of the piece of art, there are certain experiences that the artist wants to share with its viewers, which can be interpreted in many different ways. Berger asserts the premise that viewers have different experience when he states, "Yet when an image is presented as a work of art, the way people look at it is affected by a whole series of learnt assumptions about art" (99). This concept alone gives art multiple uses; for one person it could be used for something entirely different than another person. A person going through a stressful circumstance can take away meaning from a piece of art that touches them enough to get through the rest of the day; their use of art (an escape from reality) may differ immensely from someone who creates art in order to gain money from it or buys art with a supercilious perspective. For instance, the greater part of the population in society does not visit art museums; they use art for a different purpose, disregarding monetary value. According to Berger's incorporation of a chart comparing the national proportion of art museums visitors to level of education, the idea that the higher class (those who receive more education) visits art museums more frequently as compared to the lower class (those who do not receive adequate education) is shown (110). There is a correlation between an interest in art and privileged education received. For the most part, those who are fortunate enough to get an education are of a higher class in society, such as the bourgeois, who use art based on monetary value. The mass of the population, the lower class, uses art for a different purpose because they do not feel accepted at museums where art is being displayed based on monetary value. Berger clarifies this idea: "The majority take it as axiomatic that the museums are full of holy relics which refer to a mystery which excludes them: the mystery of unaccountable wealth" (110). Berger feels art has multiple uses as he explains art as a direct witness of the past and the relation between visits to art museums and level of education, which coincides with Benjamin's common theory regarding the "masses", now to be explained. Walter Benjamin, a Marxist literary critic, consistently talks about the "masses" in his piece of work, which corresponds with Berger's discussion on the majority of the people in society, the lower class, previously mentioned. It has been said that the bourgeois are the ones who control art, by controlling museums, frequenting them the most, and choosing what is being viewed. When Berger explains how art can be used for creative expression, for example, through a collage of personal elements, and how that can still count as art, he is referring to Benjamin's idea of the "masses". Art can, and is, used for individual expression and is believed, by the lower class, to be just as worthy hanging over their bedposts than in a museum (Berger 115). Art is also used to mechanically reproduce images as time goes on and as perspectives of society changes. Benjamin validates this point: "Replicas were made by pupils in practice of their craft, by masters for diffusing their works, and, finally, by third parties in the pursuit of gain" (Benjamin I). With a new age, mechanical reproduction of a work of art has been a new event that exponentially increased in appearance. Over time, society has seen more uses of art; there have been some changes over time. This idea is explained in the line, "With the woodcut graphic art became mechanically reproducible for the first time, long before script became reproducible by print. The enormous changes which printing, the mechanical reproduction of writing, has brought about in literature are a familiar story" (Benjamin I). The use of art has definitely expanded but just because art has been used in this way with the new age does not mean this is how Benjamin thinks it should be used. The two actually vary greatly and it is clear that art should be kept traditional and ritualistic to maintain its value. This idea is clarified as Benjamin says, "One might subsume the eliminated element in the term "aura" and go on to say: that which withers in the age of mechanical reproduction is the aura of the work of art" (II). Art loses its value over the years because of mechanical reproduction, which inevitably causes a loss in aura as well. This gives art another use; however, there is a defect to this usage because art should be used to maintain explicitness. Aura represents originality and authenticity of a work of art that has not been reproduced and in the words of Benjamin, "the technique of reproduction detaches the reproduced object from the domain of tradition" (II). An original piece of art preserves its authority. There is a loss of aura through mechanical reproduction of art itself. For example, "Even the most perfect reproduction of a work of art is lacking in one element: its presence in time and space, its unique existence at the place where it happens to be. This unique existence of the work of art determined the history to which it was subject throughout the time of its existence" (Benjamin II). Through Benjamin's analysis of art one can see that art should be kept exclusive to maintain an impression on its viewers that is not drained by a loss of aura. Through the theories of Bourdieu, Foucault, Berger and Benjamin, it is clear to see that art has many uses in society, as well as elements that prevent it from having multiple uses. There are always personal opinions and biases on what it really should be used for and there always will be, which makes it such an exhilarating topic to explore. Nevertheless, art, being such a broad topic, should be open to several uses and not constrained by social or economic issues. Although viewpoints differ, connections are made between the outlooks of these four figures and it is inevitable that sides will always be taken on the argument of art and its use.

City of Fremont is Silicon Valley's Hidden Gem
Michael Hatamoto

Sender E-mail
Sandwiched between San Francisco and San Jose, the City of Fremont has been able to find tech and biotech startup success
The City of Fremont was recently ranked No. 1 city for tech startups, according to
, bringing attention to a San Francisco Bay Area city often overlooked in favor of San Francisco and San Jose.
Located almost 40 miles southeast of San Francisco and 20 miles northwest of San Jose, the city is in a prime region – and has an inviting infrastructure to new businesses.
Fremont is home to tech powerhouse companies such as Seagate, ASUS and Western Digital, but it's the startups ranging from LED company
to pharmaceutical company
Zosano Pharma
, that have captured the imaginations of entrepreneurs and consumers alike.
"The city (of Fremont) has embraced this entrepreneurial class, provides important incentives for new business creation, and maintains leading educational institutions to attract people to settle and raise families in the area," said Rishi Sood, Gartner Managing Vice President, Public Sector.
recently spoke with Mayor Gus Morrison to discuss why Fremont has become a hotbed for tech and biotech companies.
Fremont has evolved into an important Silicon Valley tech city, and there are a few key reasons to the city's development.
"First is who lives here – highly educated, innovative people who are willing to take a chance on an idea," Mayor Morrison told us. "One out of every 100 residents of Fremont was awarded a patent last year… really amazing. Couple that with affordable, available facilities for startups, making a short commute for those starting a business."
The city has steadily attempted to draw tech, biotech and clean tech companies to the city with extended tax exemptions and other incentives.
"Our future is pretty much tied to emerging technologies. Our location, with ties to UC to the north and Stanford to the west, gives us the perfect place to merge the biomedical innovation from UC with the computer technology innovation starting at Stanford. Fremont is the perfect place for the biotech industry to prosper. We have many solar energy businesses in town and we also have several consumer electronic product companies already here."
Start-up businesses can be difficult to get off the ground, and finding a location able to incubate the business to succeed is important.
"We have always tried to help people start businesses in (our) town. We forgive some business taxes for some clusters and we have an omsbudsman program to help new businesses – and existing ones – work through the approval processes. I don't think we are changing an image, rather allowing people to see what we can do and how we can do it."
Business growth is vital for a city's economic stability, though logistical issues arise related to public infrastructure, traffic, and a lack of resources for the community. The
Fremont Planning Division
has worked closely with the City Council to ensure residents and businesses would be able to comfortably co-exist during continuous change.
"When the first General Plan was established for Fremont, it was estimated we would grow to 390,000 people and all the infrastructure was designed to handle that population. Our streets are capable of handling more traffic than they do now – in 2015, when BART starts service to Warm Springs, it will open up that area for transit users. We are dependent on AC Transit and we continue to try to work with them to improve their service to Fremont, although that is very difficult."
The recession and slowly recovering economy still has damaged much of Silicon Valley, and Fremont still has its own problems that are now being worked out.
"There are lots of vacant buildings, true, but that, to a great extent, is the result of the economy. Some are being leased, (while) some are essentially obsolete and not adaptable to today's requirements. Our projections for the next 30 years show we do not have enough products to handle the new jobs to be created and will need more, hopefully around the new Warm Springs BART station and Tesla."
Competition is fierce among technology startups, and cities throughout the San Francisco Bay Area await companies with open arms. Fremont was ranked on top of the list this year, but it needs to continue to make improvements to remain attractive for new businesses.

Flint Man Attacks His Mother With Dog Food After Fight Over Cigarettes
You can say a lot of things about Flint, but you can't say it's not interesting. Check out the details of a Flint man who assaulted his mother after a dispute over cigarettes.
Unless you're Chris Monroe, cigarettes really aren't worth fighting over. Especially if you're fighting you're mom, but that's exactly what happened on the north side of Flint this past weekend.
The incident happened at about 1:00 am on Friday, when police were dispatched to the 600 block of West Ridgeway Avenue. A woman was arguing with her son for smoking her cigarettes when things got violent. The son became angry with his mother and proceeded to throw dog food in her face. He then reportedly punched his mother in the face numerous times and fled the scene before police arrived. The woman's face was severely bruised but didn't appear to have serious injuries.

I spotted the above sign while driving back to Chicago from Toledo, Ohio and was inspired to write something for new editors who are about to put out a call for freelancers or writing staff. Writers, you should read this and take notes–knowing the mind of a potential editor is important to your survival in this business. As I am about to put out a call for new freelancers, this list is definitely top of mind. I dread posting those "freelancers wanted" ads, because I'll get a flood of responses from people who belong in clown college rather than behind the keyboard. The three to five good results I get are worth the hassle, but when I am reading the slop, I don't believe it.
I don't view this so much as advice as sharing about how I personally do business. For some editors, this top ten won't work, and that's the nature of the biz, but I'm willing to bet at least 75% of those new to the editing game can find something useful here:
Top Ten Writer Traits Which Scream, "Don't Hire Me":
10. Misguided Cover Letters. Don't tell me anything unrelated to the job ad–and don't bother replying to an ad which seeks a specific type of writer unless you fit the bill. I once put out a job ad requesting replies only from writers who were also musicians. One cover letter in my inbox started out, "I am a voiceover artist." That's nice, buddy, but that's NOT what I asked for. In case you're wondering, the rest of the ad made it perfectly clear I was seeking musicians only, no other type of performers. The respondant clearly couldn't follow instructions.
9. Clips From "Content" Websites. Sorry, kids, but if I see Associated Content, HubPages, or any other content mill material used as writing clips, it sends big warning flares off in my head. I'd rather see an unpublished clip directly related to my publication's focus than some generalized crapola you took five minutes to write and edit before posting to the content mill. Submitting content clips screams "amateur" to me.
8. Clips From Blogs. If I am LOOKING for a blogger, I'll ask for blog clips. If I need ARTICLES, blog clips don't do me a damn bit of good when trying to evaluate the appropriate skills. Blogging is NOT article writing, and vice versa.
7. Submitting Fiction. Unless specifically asked for fiction clips, never include your short stories or novel excerpts when replying to a job ad. This is among the worst judgement errors you can make as it shows a fundamental lack of understanding about how the game is played. I have plenty of time for noobs and beginners as long as they show initiative and at least TRY to respond properly to a job ad or call for writers.
6. Not Including Basic Contact Info. The writer who sends an e-mail address but no phone number looks to me like someone who didn't take their time with the cover letter. That is a bad way to begin a relationship.
5. Kooky E-Mail Addresses. Some editors may disagree with me here, but if I get a cover letter and resume from "email@example.com", I am much less inclined to take the sender seriously. You can't take five minutes to get a hotmail addy with a professional-looking address? SPARE ME. The next button I am likely to push after reading your return addy is the DELETE key. It's a bad, mean world out there.
4. Being Inappropriately Familiar. I hired a freelancer once upon a time who started addressing me as "Bud" and "Dude" in the earliest days of our professional relationship. I like my OWN NAME, thanks. Freelancers, please don't do this. It makes it sooooo much easier to fire you later when you start dropping your plurals or misusing the apostrophe. Oh, and I HATE being called "Sir". Some editors like it, but I am not one of them. Try to feel out your new editor first before you start in with the nicknames or excessive honorifics. Do it for ME.
3. Talking Out Your Arse. If you are applying for a writing gig or sending a query on a topic that you don't quite truly understand, reassess your ability to write for that publication, but don't give up on the gig just for a lack of information. I once hired a talented writer and video producer who admitted to me right up front that she didn't know a great deal about the subject at hand, but was willing to learn and take the initiative to do it on her own time. I hired her immediately. I have moved on from the editor's chair at that publication, but I've kept in touch and know she has done quite well. It all started with her honesty and willingness. Never underestimate the power of that willingness and enthusiasm, it can make up for a lack of subject matter expertise. Just don't FAKE IT. You will accidentally misuse a technical term or refer to an outdated bit of data and will be revealed as a wanna-be.
2. An Inability To Follow Simple Instructions. I delete all resumes and cover letters with attachments, and say so in the job ads I post. If you can't take the time to completely read the job ad and learn what my requirements are, you are already wasting my time just by responding. What makes me, the editor, think you'll do any better if I actually screwed up and HIRED you?
1. Admitting To…ANYTHING. Some new writers put something in their cover letters along the lines of, "I don't have any published clips." or even more foolishly, "I don't have much experience writing, but I hope you'll take a chance on me." I know there is a difference of opinion among editors on this one, but I believe you should never open the lines of communication with such nonsense. Your first impression is too valuable to waste; I'd rather get a cover letter from someone who can SELL themselves than someone who is WARNING YOU up front not to hire them. Don't waste my time telling me what you haven't done. Instead, tell me what you CAN do. That's how you close the deal.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (TheStreet) -- Next time you're on a rant about official Washington's indifference to the interests of everyday citizens, take heart that some politicians are serious about going after the bad guys.
The House Committee on Financial Services took its investigation of "an unaccountable new government bureaucracy" straight to the people on Jan. 27, devoting a new section of its Web site to gathering dirt on a bogeyman that's menacing borrowers and homebuyers.
"Tell us your story," the committee asks once you click on the bright red banner "Protecting Consumers" on the home page. "How has the CFPB affected you, your business, or your customers?"
That's "CFPB" as in "Consumer Financial Protection Bureau," the two-year-old agency that was authorized in the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The agency has broken new ground reining in sleazy debt collectors, slipshod mortgage servicers and banks that never seem to have a customer service rep in the house when a customer is calling to complain about bogus fees.
In other words, the committee that operates under Texas Republican Jeb Hensarling is on a mission to protect you from an agency that's actually protecting you.
It is by no means a complete list, but critics say the agency is inadequately supervised, that a proposed revamp of its headquarters is pricier than New York's Trump World Tower, and that it is on a par with the National Security Agency because it collects volumes of consumer data that it uses to analyze consumer trends and problems.
"I don't know of anyone but the worst parts of the lending industry and Republicans in the House who see the agency through this lens," said Jim Lardner, spokesman for Americans for Financial Reform, a coalition of consumer, labor and civil rights groups.
A gaggle of chest-beating Republicans has been in attack mode against the CFPB since before it even opened its doors, trashing the agency's architect, Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren, and passing bills to try to weaken its authority. The latest effort, up for a vote in the House of Representatives in coming weeks: the Consumer Financial Protection and Soundness Improvement Act of 2013, which would reduce the agency's pay schedule and make it easier to overturn its rules, among other curtailments.
Once the agency was in operation in summer of 2011, its foes went into overdrive. Hensarling even refused to allow CFPB director Richard Cordray to appear before the committee to discuss the agency's semi-annual report: President Barack Obama's recess appointment of Cordray was unconstitutional, Hensarling said in a letter to Cordray last April, so the testimony would have to wait until "an individual validly holds this position."
Against all odds, Cordray managed by July to get the Senate vote he needed to pass muster with Hensarling, but it made him no less scorned.
A favorite practice of Hensarling's is to introduce Cordray at official hearings with taunts about the agency being "accountable to no one," which is always kind of funny since the CFPB chief is sitting across from his cantankerous questioners precisely because he is being held accountable. Hensarling managed to squeeze references to Cordray as "credit czar" and "national nanny" and "benevolent financial product dictator" in a single sentence at a hearing in September.

CURRENCY question
How have all you seasoned travelers handle all the different currency that would be necessary for all the different ports on a Baltic Cruise...denmark is different from Germany..from russia..etc? Have any of you found the ports to US currency?
Even though Euros are not the currency in all your ports, most places near the tourist 'beaten path' will accept them. Just be aware you might not get a great exchange rate. I'd use a credit card for most things, and not worry about having a lot of different currencies. Get some walking around money at a bank ATM. You probably already know this, but let your credit card company(s) know about the cruise. Having foreign transactions suddenly start showing up can trigger a fraud alert and suspended accounts.
We always get some local currency in advance. Not a lot, just enough to cover small purchases. We use a credit card for the rest (not that we make many large purchases overseas). I did note that rubles, U.S. dollars, and euro were accepted in tourist-oriented gift shops in Russia, although only rubles were accepted elsewhere in Russia, such as in the markets.
We also take a small amount of local currency we get before the trip
we usually do not buy much maybe a coffee & sanck
The private tour guides in Russia will take USD some will exchange for Rubles if you are buy lunch/snacks
In Murmansk they had an ATM by the gift shop ...so many that were buying things with cash used the ATM to get Rubles some used their credit cards
I have an account that is not at my regular bank it is used just for travel & I use the ATM's if I need more local currency
I keep a small amount in the account incase it gets scammed/skimmed/stolen :eek:

 I remember the days of software development when we had huge war room meetings to get status from each team lead. The project manager would manage these 2 or 3 hour meetings and hope to goodness that everyone would remember what requirements need to be updated, who is to fix which bug and well, the list goes on. The closer we got to the end of the development cycle, the longer and more frequent these meetings would be. What if all the managers, team leads and developers had a dashboard to evaluate progress and update status? What a concept!

There are many development tools that help teams communicate perfectly throughout the software development cycle. These tools will help enable teams to follow good software development habits and team communication will improve. Just understanding these tools and following the guidelines will get the team communicating like never before. I'll continue to mention different development tools that help you develop quality code quicker, throughout my blogs, but today I will focus on Rational Requirements Composer and Rational Team concert.

Rational Team Concert collaborative development environment connects teams so they can work together to simplify, automate and govern software delivery in real time. Project mangers and others can gain greater visibility into individual and team work. They can reduce overhead balance resources and provide real-time insight. In addition, you can track project progress with dashboards that include real-time project statuses. Now this is every manager's dream to manage and view the status of a development project, without having huge war room meetings.

Another great product, Rational Requirements Composer helps teams define and use requirements effectively across the project lifecycle. The whole team creates and uses requirements. Better, faster requirements lead to less project rework, faster time to market, and better business outcomes. The earlier you know and manage your requirements, the more money you will save in rework. Get your customers and stakeholders involved early and manage your requirements so that everyone understands and communicates updates and priorities.

Now couple Rational Team Concert with Rational Requirements Composer and you have a match made in heaven. The beauty is that IBM® Rational® Requirements Composer and Rational Team Concert are integrated. Check out the demo below and learn how the integration between IBM® Rational® Requirements Composer and Rational Team Concert highlights the capabilities that ensure project deliverables stay aligned to current business goals and requirements. Specifically, see examples of how to create a link from a requirement in a vision document artifact in Rational Requirements Composer to the work item stored in Rational Team Concert. Then see how to use filters to query across all the products on the Jazz platform. These capabilities help reduce project risk, reduce rework, and increase productivity.

Napalm Death vs. Meshuggah – Death Match
The Devil Wears Prada just claimed their fourth and final victory against the Black Dahlia Murder, becoming the first band in the history of Death Match to be inducted into the Death Match Hall of Fame. The group's single 'Born to Lose' has been declared immortal, and thus the Death Match must continue with two new tracks.
Napalm Death are often credited as the chemists of grindcore, and throughout their 31-year career have made some of the most aggressive metal in history. The band has just released a video for the first single 'Analysis Paralysis' from their latest effort, 'Utilitarian.' Check out our recent interview with singer Mark 'Barney' Greenway here.
Their opponents, Meshuggah, also have rightfully claimed their spot as extreme metal innovators. The Swedish quintet are in their 25th year of making music and have been crushing skulls nonstop. Meshuggah recently unleashed their lyric video for 'Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion,' from their highly-anticipated, upcoming seventh full-length, 'Koloss,' due March 26.
Who will win in this battle of the extreme metal legends? The choice is yours. Check out the videos below and vote for the track most deserving of the path to immortality in Loudwire's Death Match. (This Death Match runs until Monday, March 12 at 10AM ET.)
Napalm Death, 'Analysis Paralysis'
Meshuggah, 'Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion'
Rules of Death Match
Two bands fight to the death each week. The triumphant band goes on to compete in the next Death Match. If a band wins four straight Death Matches, its song will be honored as immortal in the Loudwire Death Match Hall of Fame.

The search of the car driven by a defendant violated the Fourth Amendment, the Indiana Court of Appeals ruled, so the trial court abused its discretion in admitting evidence obtained through an inventory search of the car.
In Meschach Berry v. State of Indiana, No. 49A04-1109-CR-474, Meschach Berry drove a relative's car to a car wash to pick up his last paycheck from the company. When he learned the paycheck wasn't available, he parked his car at the company's entrance and blocked traffic. Indianapolis Metropolitan Police responded to a call and told Berry to move the car. He moved it to the self-service vacuum bay area.
After discovering Berry had a suspended license, police asked if the car was insured so someone could drive it home. Berry was unsure, so police decided to tow the car and proceeded to conduct an inventory search of the car. Police found marijuana and a digital scale inside. The police did not create formal inventory sheets detailing Berry's personal effects. He was charged with and convicted of possession of marijuana as a Class A misdemeanor.
Berry made several arguments on appeal as to why the trial court abused its discretion in denying his motion to suppress and admitting the evidence, but the COA only agreed with his argument that the state didn't prove that the decision to impound the car was consistent with standard procedures followed by the IMPD. The record lacks any evidence of IMPD policy on impoundment, so the judges were unable to say whether the decision to impound the car was in keeping with such policy.
The judges reversed Berry's drug conviction.

Heterogeneous impact of the social programme Oportunidades on use of contraceptive methods by young adult women living in rural areas
Rarely have researchers explored the distribution of a programme's effects in a population, tending to focus on unidimensional measures of impact instead. This can mask heterogeneity of effects, making it difficult to identify subsets of the population for whom impacts might differ from a population average. The authors exploit the design of Mexico's Oportunidades programme to construct measures of the heterogeneous impacts of the programme on contraception and compare these with conventional effect estimates. They find that the latter, while probably reliable for particular types of effects, fail to uncover the substantial programme impacts on the poorest women in rural Mexico.

when the caucasian lived in the caves and hillsides of Europe of the Caucasus Mountain range... THEY lived the life of a beast... walking on all fours... eating raw meat... killing their newborn... sleeping in their defecation.
THEY befriended the wild dog and made them part of THEIR family... even today THEY call the dog THEIR "best friend".
THEY would use the dog to help them hunt and track and to also act as a lookout and guard the women and children when the men went on THEIR hunting trips.
Sometimes these hunting trips would last days and weeks... leaving the white woman at "home" at the cave.
With the white woman being a natural freak... she started lovemaking with the dog.
After 2000 years of this... the dogs sperm entwined with the flesh of the human... and now whenever white people get wet or sweat the odor of dog appears...

text: Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALXN) today announced the presentation of 28-week data from all enrolled patients in a multi-center trial of eculizumab (Soliris ®) in patients who developed Shiga-toxin-producing E. coli hemolytic uremic syndrome (STEC-HUS) during an outbreak in Germany from May 2011 to July 2011. In the study, eculizumab therapy was associated with rapid and sustained clinical improvements in thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and systemic organ complications. The study met its primary endpoint of global assessment of efficacy at 8 weeks with 94% of patients achieving a complete or partial response in systemic TMA and vital organ involvement. Key secondary endpoints were also met with high clinical and statistical significance, including global assessment of efficacy at 28 weeks as well as improvement in hematologic, renal and neurologic functions. Preliminary findings from an exploratory post hoc, matched-control analysis of patients with severe STEC-HUS receiving eculizumab versus other patients who received current best supportive care during the German epidemic were also reported, and showed that eculizumab treatment was associated with consistently higher rates of renal and neurological function improvement at weeks 8 and 28. 1 The eculizumab 28-week data, presented today at Kidney Week 2012, the annual meeting of the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) in San Diego, were consistent with previously presented interim data, in which 148 of the overall 198 patients with STEC-HUS treated with eculizumab were reported to have experienced substantial improvement in systemic TMA and vital organ complications 8 weeks following treatment initiation with eculizumab. 2 "In the study, patients had a robust response to eculizumab therapy. Patients achieved a substantial improvement in systemic TMA and vital organ involvement as early as 8 weeks, which was sustained through 28 weeks," said Rolf Stahl, M.D., Chairman, Department of Nephrology, University Hospital Hamburg-Eppendorf UKE and lead investigator of the trial. "The rapid, sustained reduction in TMA and reversal of organ damage with eculizumab supports the important role of uncontrolled complement activation in the severe morbidities associated with STEC-HUS."

- I had the opportunity to read...
I had the opportunity to read the book. That was good. Listening is better...The narrator nailed the voice, and it was a riot to listen to. As another reviewer noted, some of the facts blur into others, but overall, Chuck gives some solid and good advice in this book.
- Medicine for the mind, body and...
Medicine for the mind, body and soul!!
This audio version is fantastic! I admit that I purchased it to laugh and to get a little relief to some stressful situations in my life. It worked! I was really surprised how I was encouraged and inspired as I read it, which was totally unexpected. What I shortly discovered was a book that was medicine to my mind, body and soul. I picked something else up as I was reading through it, then went back and confirmed it. Tyndale did a great job incorporating a spiritual dimension through sections on "Faith" that build one upon another from Chuck's Creator to his confessions and creeds, a clear unfolding apologetic that just deepens progressively to #101. Observe the unfolding faith from #11, #35, #44, #54, #64, #72, #79, #83, #90, and #101. I couldn't help but think how this would make a good gift for those I know who aren't spiritual or too reluctant to read more "obvious" spiritual books. I highly recommend this book.
- You don't have to agree with...
You don't have to agree with all of Chuck Norris' opinions on God and politics to enjoy this title. The ridiculousness of the "facts" about Chuck are coupled with the hilarious lengths Norris goes to craft a correlating, yet, authentic life story and axiom. Towards the end, the tales and principles begin to blur together, but it is worth it. I found myself laughing out throughout the book, and moved almost to tears by some of Chuck's generous actions. I am one of those that doesn't agree with Chuck much of his politics but his sincerity and ability to not take himself too seriously cannot be debated and are to be respected. Johnny Heller's narration only adds to the audio experience. From the start, Heller makes it seem almost as if Clint Eastwood was reading to you. Can it get any better than that!?

A controlled drinking zone (CDZ) has been given the go ahead by Merton Council after "overwhelming public support".
The new zone will cover half of Mitcham allowing police to confiscate alcohol in public places, in a bid to tackle antisocial behaviour in the area.
Councillor Stephen Alambritis, leader of Merton Council, said: "Implementing this controlled drinking zone is all about us listening to our residents' concerns and taking action to address those concerns.
"Preventing antisocial behaviour as much as possible in our town centres has a major impact on our residents' quality of life.
"Alcohol plays a significant part in the causes of unacceptable behaviour on many of the UK's streets."
The CDZ should be fully operational later this month, but a Mitcham councillor criticised the council for not introducing it sooner.
Councillor Peter Walker, of Figge's Marsh ward, had organised a petition in favour of introducing the CDZ in July and blamed "bureaucracy and delays by council officials".
He said: "It is a great shame that this controlled zone was not in place before the end of August which was the date originally promised.
"Opposition for many months by senior officers employed by Merton has slowed the introduction of this necessary measure."
"However I am pleased that the local police will now have powers to tackle the anti-social drinking which takes place particularly in the evenings and weekends around the Fair Green and Figges Marsh.
"It has been a blight for a long time and intimidates local residents especially the elderly and women"
"I am pleased our petition has met with success at last."

Its actually $15 a month and is called the VPak by VCast. Unless she is trying to get you to move from the Select plan to the Connect plan, then I think that was $10 difference. No Vcast on the Connect plan unless you pay extra.
Its good while you are on the go as you can check your webmail, its just internet on the go. You can visit nearly every website out there. There is html support but not full html like your computer. Also limited flash support. You can watch YouTube videos but I haven't found other video sites to work yet.
You can compare the plans by clicking up there ^. Depending on the phones on your lines, Premium may be better as it has everything.

When a mysterious stranger deposits a box at the door of married couple Arthur (James Marsden) and Norma (Cameron Diaz), they are presented with a stark choice. Do they press the button and receive $1 million, in the knowledge that doing so, someone, somewhere will die?
Well, what would you do? That's the question that will sit with you long after Richard Kelly's sci-fi/horror/morality play has faded out. Like Adrian Lyne's Indecent Proposal 16 years before it, his high-concept quandary asks both its protagonists and its audience a million-dollar zinger. Unlike its predecessor, here it's not just OAP ugly-bumping that's at stake. This time, taking the money comes at a much higher price...
It should have been the stuff of dinner-party discussion the world over; a movie that intrigued across genders and generations. Not least given its credentials: based on a short story by sci-fi icon Richard Matheson (I Am Legend); already adapted into one of The Twilight Zone's more famous episodes; and starring the highest-paid actress working today. It should, frankly, have made a hell of a lot more than its crumby $7.6 million opening weekend in the US.
That it did may not exactly be the greatest news for Kelly — where now, Richard? — but at least he can't be accused of selling out. On paper, it all looked very straight and smart: big star, big studio, big success. Instead, he takes that box office-friendly set-up and, well, indies it all over the place. Nose-bleeding zombies, Sartre-spouting mystery men with half their faces missing, her off of There's Something About Mary with half her foot missing, NASA conspiracy theories, 2001-styled Star Gate montages, endless existential noodling, a spot of time travel and a suicidal Santa... It's so stripped of mainstream logic that the first screening to the Paramount brass must have made for an interesting day. And it so wilfully, wonderfully disregards narrative convention that Donnie Darko fans will have a ball.
Of course, such was the fallout from Southland Tales — Kelly's savaged sophomore farrago — that Darko already feels a mighty long time ago. But that movie's faithful will feel right at home from the get-go. The Box, like Darko, once again sees Kelly pit an all-American family against paranormal forces. And this time it's personal, with Diaz and Marsden based in part on Kelly's parents and the movie set in his childhood backyard of Virginia, circa 1976.
The setting gives Kelly the chance to play with many of the stylistic licks of that era, his sound design, Arcade Fire's retro soundtrack, and cinematography (he shot on digital, having been convinced the medium could fit a period setting when he saw David Fincher's Zodiac) establishing a paranoid, foreboding tone that riffs on the likes of Rosemary's Baby and Kubrick — The Shining and 2001 the most obvious influences. But although the personalising of his story draws out some great performances ��� particularly from Diaz — it also strips the situation of much of the empathy needed for it to truly work. Diaz and Marsden here are a teacher and a Langley scientist respectively, struggling to pay their son's private school fees when his application to become an astronaut is rejected. Hardly on the breadline, are they? Are we really supposed to empathise with their decision to sacrifice a human life, anonymous or not, for the sake of a fancy education?
In Frank Langella's Arlington Steward, though, Kelly has crafted a brilliant bad guy. Sporting some terrific CG work that sheers off an entire cheek, he's a captivating combination of Two-Face and Jigsaw, an unhinged loon, all the more scary for his conviction that morals are on his side. Any more would spoil it, but it's safe to say that once his button is pushed, he's a memorably scary creation.
Certainly, The Box will befuddle, confound and frustrate, its refusal to stick to a single tone, or even genre, maddening if you're not prepared to fly with it. But here's the real question: given Kelly's startling box office wobble since the highs of Darko, will he feel forced to play things more commercial in the immediate future? Will this, then, be the last pure Kelly movie we see in a while? It's a very real worry. The question is: is missing it on a big screen a choice you're prepared to make?
Movie Marmite. Many will be perplexed. Donnie Darko fans should lap it up.

A series of e-mails obtained under a public records request show the Swiss Federal Office of Justice sent an urgent fax to the U.S. Office of International Affairs on Sept. 22 stating Polanski was expected in Zurich. The director was to be feted at a film festival, and Swiss officials wanted to know if the U.S. would be submitting a request for Polanski's arrest.
It took little sleuthing to figure out Polanski would be in Zurich - the film festival had a Web site promoting its upcoming tribute to the "Rosemary's Baby" and "Chinatown" director. The new details again raise the question of why Switzerland decided to go after Polanski now, even though the 76-year-old director was a frequent visitor to that nation, where he owns an Alpine chalet.
After receiving the tip, federal officials alerted the Los Angeles district attorney's office, which immediately began drafting an arrest warrant.
Polanski was arrested Sept. 26 as he arrived in Zurich to receive a lifetime achievement award at the festival. He has been battling extradition ever since and on Tuesday suffered a serious setback when Switzerland's top criminal court rejected his appeal to be released from prison, citing the "high" risk that the director would try to flee again.
A Sept. 25 e-mail from the Office of International Affairs to the district attorney's office shows U.S. authorities seemed confident Polanski would not be released.
"Generally, Switzerland does not release fugitives sought for extradition," the e-mail states. "The default in Switzerland is that a fugitive will be detained until s/he is either extradited or determined by the Swiss Federal Supreme Court to be non-extraditable."
Polanski's offers of bail, house arrest and electronic monitoring failed to sway the tribunal. Even his chalet in the luxury resort of Gstaad was brushed aside as insufficient collateral to guard against Polanski fleeing the country.
"The appellant has already once in 1978 eluded American criminal proceedings by traveling to Europe," the Federal Criminal Court said in its 17-page verdict, adding that Polanski's transfer to the U.S. could also cause family trauma and cost investors millions of dollars in losses.
Polanski was accused of plying a 13-year-old girl with champagne and part of a Quaalude pill during a modeling shoot in 1977 and raping her. He was initially indicted on six felony counts, including rape by use of drugs, child molesting and sodomy.
He pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of unlawful sexual intercourse and fled amid a legal dispute over his sentence.

ACT Presents AN EVENING OF ONE ACTS, Now thru 8/10
A full plate of theatre portioned out in three short plays, ACT - A Contemporary Theatre presents An Evening of One Acts. The line-up begins with a curtain raiser by Steve Martin, Patter for the Floating Lady, followed by Woody Allen's Riverside Drive, and the evening culminates with Sam Shepard's The Unseen Hand. All three plays deliver an experience that will stretch the imagination with magic, surprise, wonder, and a dose of science fiction fantasy.
Patter for the Floating Lady (1999) by Steve Martin is the bittersweet conclusion of a romance between a lovesick magician and his lovely but underwhelmed assistant. Riverside Drive (2003) by Woody Allen involves a paranoid vagrant who confronts a screenwriter he's been stalking for weeks, convinced that his prey has stolen his life story in order to create a successful movie plot. Finally, The Unseen Hand (1970) is an absurd and outlandish play where loners, outlaws, and aliens come together in a bizarre landscape in one of Sam Shepard's earlier allegorical science fiction works.
"I've always loved one-act plays, particularly in evenings which include the works of different authors. Delightful pieces have been generated in the form since antiquity. With such a vast treasure chest of works to choose from, the variety of tones, genres, and subject matter available present a virtually limitless way to think about constructing an evening for the audience," says Artistic Director Kurt Beattie. "All three of our writers have obvious recommendations for being included in this program: they are very funny; and their work has played a part in defining the last thirty years of American culture, at least when it comes to theatre and film. But, for me, the telling thing about them is the strange contradictory feelings they can elicit from me about being American."
Directed by R. Hamilton Wright with an outstanding cast including ACT audience favorites Jessica Skerritt and Eric Ray Anderson in multiple roles, An Evening of One Acts will provide a great opportunity to enjoy their talents again. Quinn Armstrong, Chris Ensweiler, David Foubert, and Hana Lass all make their ACT Mainstage debuts.
*Eric Ray Anderson - FRED (Riverside Drive) and BLUE (The Unseen Hand)
Quinn Armstrong- THE KID (The Unseen Hand)

When a fashion photographer comes to dominate the marketplace, the constancy and ubiquity of the imagery sometimes causes you to lose historical perspective on the work. In Steven Meisel's case that issue is being perfectly corrected with Phillip's "Role Play" exhibition tour.

Build Community
The simplest things are the most profound. With every potential project, we start by considering place. What is the neighborhood like? Is there an opportunity to create a great place? How can we add to the community and knit ourselves into the fabric of the neighborhood? What are the growth trends? What does this community need? Does it feel right? Can we create something greater than just a building? Only when the right variables are in place do we begin to think about creating a socially, economically and environmentally sustainable building.
When we build in cities like Portland, we spend a great deal of time learning about peoples' needs and the neighborhoods in which we build. We study modes of transportation, demographics and municipal objectives, and immerse ourselves in the physical, social and economic aspects of the community. We evaluate how we can serve people who will live and work in our buildings as well as the community at large. Only after we have explored these issues do we begin to discuss uses, building concepts, massing, forms and shapes. An understanding of how all of these elements work together is essential to creating an environment where people can thrive.

jQuery Collapse-O-Matic Gravity Forms conflict?
i have 1 page which uses Jquery Collapse-O-Matic. with c-o-m activated i get a white strip at the top of the page with this in it:
and when i click on a title that is supposed to expand. it expands, then collapses, then expands again.
when i "inspect element" i see this error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined /wp-content/plugins/scripts-gzip/gzip.php?js=wp-content%2Fplugins%2Fjquery-collapse-o-matic%2Fcollapse.js%3Fver%3D1.3.4%2Cwp-content%2Fplugins%2Fgravityforms%2Fjs%2Fgravityforms.js%3Fver%3D22.214.171.124%2Cwp-content%2Fplugins%2Fgravityforms%2Fjs%2Fconditional_logic.js%3Fver%3D126.96.36.199%2Cwp-content%2Fplugins%2Fjquery-collapse-o-matic%2Fcollapse.js%3Fver%3D1.3.4:29
strange thing is, if i deactivate C-O-M, when i click a title that is supposed to expand… it expands! with c-o-m switched off!??
this all happened after i put this code into my functions.php
as advised here: http://wp.tutsplus.com/articles/how-to-include-javascript-and-css-in-your-wordpress-themes-and-plugins/
this resolved an issue i had with Gravity Forms conditional logic.
