Beatnuts' logo - which first appeared on the cover of their breakout 1993 EP Intoxicated Demons - was detourned from the Reid Miles-designed cover for Hank Mobley's essential 1965 Blue Note LP The Turnaround. Simple, red, direct and eminently tattooable - it's everything a good logo should be. It's also open to interpretation; is it the forked tail of deviltry? Is it a rudderless life suddenly seized by the blessing of pragmatism? Pick your poison.

Crucifix: Logo #335
anarcho-punk band Crucifix (detourned from Gerald Holtom's original 1958 symbol of the British nuclear disarmament movement) for their 1983 album "Dehumanization," issued by the Corpus Christi label, the sub-label owned by Crass. The mushroom cloud is here used as a wise and incisive presentation of the modern cross on which we were all hellbent on crucifying ourselves back in 1983. Here's Crucifix live in concert before they broke up in 1984. If I'd had to perform in front of a lethally bored audience like that one, I'd want to hang it up, too. Here's a faintly illuminating interview with Sothira Pheng, Crucifix's fiery Cambodian lead singer; it apparently dates to just before "Dehumanization" was issued. Pheng has some entertaining things to say about the episode of "Quincy" in which the punk rock menace was "revealed." I wonder if any other punk bands were interviewed about that particular network television event at the time. Here's another clip, riddled with clichés as it is, with traditional heavy William Forsythe playing the lead singer of Pain on the "CHiPs" punk rock episode. Another ridiculous scare attempted by squares. Time passages.

Prong: Logo #334
Prong lead singer and guitarist Tommy Victor in 1987. They're on tour again, as of this writing - playing impressively small venues, which just seems really bizarre because, well, they're Prong. Metal seems like it should be performed out in an amphitheater or at an observatory; there's a regal aspect to that particular music that remains underutilized. Call it "Live (Voltage) at Red Rocks."
I've posted more here in the past two weeks than I have in the past two years. I don't know whether to celebrate or be ashamed. I'll just pass the entertainment savings on to you and leave it at that.

The Grateful Dead: Logo #333
3:33 p.m., but, well, you know. Imagine beating a dead horse for the rest of your life.
The Grateful Dead had three main logos that accompanied them through their long journey in life. The "Stealie" skull-and-lightning was designed by Owsley Stanley and Bob Thomas in 1969.
Alton Kelley and Stanley "Mouse" Miller designed the flower skeleton in 1971, while Bob Thomas designed those famous dancing bears in 1973.

Medeski Martin & Wood: Logo #332
Billy Martin for the cover of Medeski Martin & Wood's 1995 release "Friday Afternoon in the Universe." One of their best-known songs is "Uninvisible." Also in the band: pianist John Medeski and bassist Chris Wood. They're another band about which it's hard to believe that it's been 20 years since they've been around. I seem to recall this particular logo represents a martini glass. I hear stories and over 20 years they're either etched in acid in the steel of my memory or they crumble like photographs made entirely of volcanic ash just by my thinking of them.

F.Y.P: Logo #331
almost-IKB comes from the "Extra Credit" EP from 1991. Congelliere: "I just wanted something that had something to do with (the number) 5, 'cos the band was called 5 Year Plan." Begun in a bedroom in Torrance in the late '80s, F.Y.P was conspicuously lighthearted, an ironically stark contrast to the almost 15 years of that pragmatically grim SST work ethic that seemed to become shorthand for punk rock in the South Bay area of L.A. in the '80s. It wasn't as intense as what happened to Rocco Roll of The Absentees, though.

Plastikman: Logo #330
Designed by California artist Ron Cameron in 1991 and appropriated by Dominic Ayre for Plastikman in 1993. There's been a considerable amount of debate as to the provenance of this logo over the past twenty (!) years - Ayre was accused of filching it from some mysterious skateboard artist until Cameron himself helpfully cleared everything up here: "I did this for my own skateboard company called Strike (through Acme Skateboards), for the "Street Worker" model in 1991. Someone re-scanned it and sold it to Richie Hawtin in 1992 and claimed ownership. Richie found me around 1997, and everything was settled all cool-like. I've been friends with Richie since, and Plastikman is re-issuing the 1st LP in 2010, with actual plastic toys of this character - one for each song title, 12 total. "

I�m cranky these days and there are several good reasons why.
I�m cranky these days and there are several good reasons why.
First, N.C. home insurance carriers received a rate increase after reaching a settlement with the State Department of Insurance. According to the news stories I read, beach property in Onslow County saw an insurance increase of 19.8 percent, while other homeowners got walloped with an increase of 8.9 percent. No matter how much the Dept. of Insurance, Commissioner Wayne Goodwin or the insurance carriers defend this increase � and past experience tells me they will � the truth remains: It�s painful, especially to those on fixed incomes.
Duke Progress, our new electric company formed from a combination of Progress Energy (the old CP&L) and Duke Energy, received permission to raise rates by 7.5 percent. N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper is fighting the increase in court. I hope that suit isn�t the equivalent of tilting at windmills, but I�m not fooling myself either.
Time Warner Cable, a company we�ve been with for nearly two decades, and our Internet-television cable-phone provider just raised our base bill by more than $60. We have pretty basic stuff; nothing fancy. Here�s what we�re getting for that raise in rates: Absolutely nothing. While we are paying about $190 a month for our services, someone else can sign on as a new customer and get a better deal for less than $100.
My cell phone carrier, Sprint, is charging us the most we ever have paid for service. Our call drop rate has risen by several hundred percentage points. I can barely complete a Sprint call, but because I am locked into a contract, I am stuck with them until that contract comes to an end. I doubt I would have stayed with them if I had realized how bad their service would become.
Food prices are both up and down, mostly up as a result of last year�s drought. I know I now pay much more for groceries than I did a few years ago. Gas is all over the place, but my health costs have climbed. And taxes? One of my friends recently told me she�s paying 43 percent of her income in taxes. I�m not even sure that includes sales taxes.
Increasing one aspect of our cost of living doesn�t sound so bad. That insurance increase? Sure, they held it down to 8.9 percent when the companies asked for more. An electrical service increase? Same argument. But when one begins to stack all of those increases one on top of the other, a true picture of our economy emerges.
This has got to come to a stop before ordinary Tar Heels have to live in cardboard boxes.
Carole Moore welcomes emails at firstname.lastname@example.com. One important note: When I wrote recently about disciplining children so that they don�t act out in public, I received several emails. Somehow I managed to delete them before I could respond. I have no idea how I did it, but I did. So if you wrote one of those emails and didn�t hear back from me, then I plead momentary insanity and apologize profusely. I hope it won�t happen again.

Will Manso's prediction for NBA Finals
Miami Heat vs. San Antonio Spurs - Thursday at 9:00 on Local 10
MIAMI – It's the moment Heat fans have been waiting for, and quite frankly, it's the moment Heat players themselves expected since training camp. Miami is back in the NBA Finals. Now the only thing standing in the way of back-to-back titles is the San Antonio Spurs.
I'm not sure it's possible to get a better Finals match-up. These are two of the most respected franchises in the NBA, and the track records over the last 15 years or so speak for themselves.
The Spurs have four NBA titles in that time, while Miami has two. San Antonio has a veteran nucleus led by Tim Duncan, while the Heat is led by the best player in the world in LeBron James. Yes, some people would call the Spurs "old" but I choose to call them experienced.
SPECIAL SECTION: Miami Heat in the Finals
That experience is why I think we could be looking at a long series in these Finals. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra talks so much about Miami imposing its will against another team, but the Spurs are one of the best at not allowing that to happen.
Match-up wise, the Spurs also have depth, just like the Heat, and they aren't afraid to go deep into the bench. While Tim Duncan is the quiet superstar that doesn't seem to age, the real engine that makes San Antonio go is Tony Parker. Does this guy ever slow down?
The Heat don't seem to have a true answer for a player like Parker and that could be the difference in the series.
As for Miami, while LeBron has been known to carry his team in moments like this, he can't do it alone against San Antonio. They are simply too good and well coached to allow that to happen. Chris Bosh and/or Dwyane Wade must give the Heat productive games. Does Bosh need to score 20 points and grab 10 rebounds? No. Does Wade need to have a vintage Wade game and pour in 35 to lead the way? No. But each player must be aggressive and attack the basket.
If Wade and Bosh give Miami production in key spots, the load for LeBron is lessened and I like the Heat's chances. If both players maintain their recent struggles, it will be tough to beat the Spurs. Wade's resurgence in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals and Bosh's attacking style in that game both bode well for Miami into this series.
So who wins? I said before the season the Heat would make it back-to-back titles and I see no reason to change my stance now. Miami won 66 regular season games for a reason. They have the best player in the world in his prime, and he's surrounded by the right group of unselfish veterans who know how to fit into the scheme.
Miami has just enough to top San Antonio is a classic series and have another parade down Biscayne Boulevard.
Prediction: Heat in 7 games

Hillcrest Community Civic Association
October 1, 2011, 10am-noon
Hillcrest Recreation Center
Come prepared to help the Hillcrest Community Civic Association (HCCA) board plan its 2012 agenda. Due to the popularity of the HCCA's open forum meetings, the board decided to do another one. It realizes that many residents do not feel their voices are heard. Or they may have a simple solution to a complex problem. Or they may want to compliment (or criticize) the HCCA, and feel there is no venue. Well, the board is providing you with that venue. We ask that you think about the following:
What issues do you want to see addressed?
What guest speakers would do you want to address the membership?
What types of events would you like to have?
Is the HCCA open enough that you feel you can volunteer?
As an option, feel free to email HCCA president Karen Williams at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This is your civic association, please help us meet your needs.

There's nothing like a race track full of beat-to-hell hoopties to give you a crash course in Blowed Up Engines 101. The Southern Discomfort race offered plenty of busted blocks, oil pans full of bearing shards, and the like.
The top image shows a fairly standard BMW M20 thrown-rod "after" photo. Above, we see a Toyota 4AGE oil pan with bits of damn near every major engine component in a soup of sparkly iron-fortified oil; when a high-mile engine lets go at 8 grand, you're lucky the if oil pan catches most of the chunks.
Speaking of oil pans, what do you do when newly liberated rods make their escape through the bottom of your Ford Windsor's pan? Buy a junkyard short block and patch the pan, of course!
When the race-leading Ford Probe's engine blew up, it wasn't just your regular ventilated block. Check out that big crack- broken nearly in half!

Introduction: Folding Light Box
The idea behind was to create an easy to make,folding and cheap light boxes so I can take them with me whenever needed or store them in the closet taken the minimum space.
I have included enough pictures of the project so to be easy for everyone to follow.Also you can download the schematics and simply draw the dimensions on a cardboard. Then use the box cutter where is specified.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: TOOLS NEEDED:
1) Box cutter2) Mechanical pencil
3) Black eraser
4) Semi transparent tape
5) Ruler set
Step 2: PARTS FOR FOUR (4) LIGHT BOXES:
1) Architectural white model cardboard: 70cm x 50cm / 40mm thickness (x3). Cost: 2.80 euro x3 = 8.4 euro
2) White semi transparent fabric as a diffuser: 1 square meter will be enough. Cost: 2 Euro
3) 8 rubber bands from the supermarket
4) 220VAC plastic lamp holder E27. Cost: 0,71 euro x 4 = 2,84 euro
5) 220VAC 8 meter wire. Cost: 0,50 euro x 8 = 4 euro
6) on/off switch. Cost: 0,87 euro x 4 = 3,48 euro
7) 220VAC plug jack. Cost: 0,90 euro x 4 = 3,60 euro
8) energy saving 220VAC lamp 30W+ Cost: 2,60 euro x 4 = 10,40 euro
Total cost for one light box= 9,38 euro
Total cost for four light boxes= 34,72 euro
Step 3: CONSTRUCTION:
Each box consists of 3 cardboard parts, a piece of fabric, 2 rubber bands, the lamp holder and the lamb, the 220VAC wire, the switch and the socket. The electrical parts, if needed can be stored in to the box or the box can be disassembled.
For the diffuser, cut a piece of fabric by measuring the height of the light box and two times the width. Then wrap the fabric around the light box using 2 rubber bands.
Step 4: RESULTS & SCHEMATICS
Four light boxes are enough for small objects up to 50cm high.
Also I have placed 2 of them in horizontal position aside the camera's lens for micro photography and it turned out with great results. See the picture of the model car.
Hope you like it :)

Coherent Optoelectronics with Single Quantum Dots
In optical experiments on single quantum dot photodiodes the exciton ground state transition appears as a two-level system with a lifetime limited line width of a few µeV. For the case of pulsed laser fields and in the absence of decoherence, the ground state exciton represents a quantum bit (qubit), which can be also tuned by electric fields. Using fast electric signals, which are phase-locked to ps-laser pulses, the coherent control of an exciton qubit can be obtained by electric switching [1].
Performing Ramsey experiments [2] we have been able to demonstrate the electric phase control of a quantum dot exciton on sub-100 ps timescales [3]. Based on this we propose a protocol, which allows full control of the exciton Bloch vector by solely electric control.
In the past, the robust inversion of quantum dots has been demonstrated by applying chirped ps laser pulses, which drive a rapid adiabatic passage [4, 5]. An ultrafast electric transient results in a transient Stark shift and hence in a chirp of the ground state transition. Realizing such conditions, we have been able to drive a rapid adiabatic passage using electric chirp but un-chirped laser pulses. A comparison to Rabi oscillations observed for increasing pulse areas shows that the electrically chirped rapid adiabatic passage leads to full inversion.

I'm working on another post right now, but there's a question that keeps lingering in the back of my head. I can't quite seem to resolve it so I'll share it in the hopes that additional minds can help me out.
Are we in the midst of a lost generation of librarians?
It's not a single thing that makes me think this, but several. It's the common story of newly degreed librarians not being able to find positions within a short period of time after graduation. This creates a delay in terms of professional experience if new librarians are taking one to three years to find a job. So, for a profession that is generally a second career (as it was for me), it's a double late start.
Does this lack of near immediate employment delay entry and involvement into professional organizations? I feel it does. While people are encouraged to join organizations as students, I feel that membership is the first to go if they are struggling through the job market. This generates another delay as it relates to professional involvement. Nevermind the fact that some libraries are cutting back on offsetting professional association dues, funds for conference attendance, or other professional development activities. Even then, in a place that recognizes seniority, those opportunities still may not present themselves.
Combined with the changing role and place of the library (technology! embedded! eBooks and eContent! classroom based!), it becomes a moving target in terms of skill sets. Even though the common complaint is that "my graduate school did not teach me how to do X", there is an expectation of the skills and knowledge needed for the library at that current moment that the coursework is geared towards. While it is true that certain skills will never go out of vogue, the desire for employers to hire someone who can do the latest and best is not completely unexpected. Are these librarians going to be eventually bypassed on that basis if they can't find a library job within five years? Perhaps yes, perhaps no.
In writing this, I'm hoping to get additional ideas, thoughts, and perspectives on this question. I would be happy to be shown that we are not in the midst of a lost generation, but I don't have the data to point to an answer in either direction. So help me out here, please.

So much for the Mayan calendar. We're all still here. And ready to move on to another year.
So long, 2012. Bring on 2013.
As you think back on 2012, it's not likely you can define the year in any epic way — for the nation, Florida or our Sarasota-Manatee region. Time will tell whether the court rulings that killed the Longboat Key Club and Resort's redevelopment and expansion project were epic; certainly those decisions were epic wins for the Islandside Property Owners Coalition. But they didn't really change the here-and-now status quo. The effects of the rulings may still be to come.
On a national level, even though we had another contentious presidential election, in the end, we kept the status quo — a Democratic president, a small Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate, a big Republican majority in the U.S. House. The political-philosophical split in the nation is more even now than it was four years ago.
Economically, the recovery from the 2009 recession continued at the same anemic rate in 2012, actually worse, than in 2011.
In Florida, it was more of the same in 2012 as in 2011, albeit an economy improving slightly faster than it did in 2011.
Locally and regionally, the consensus among business owners appears that 2012 was markedly better than 2011, albeit hampered by all of the "fiscal cliff" uncertainty that paralyzes investments, purchases and business decisions.
At this writing, who knows what 2013 is going to bring?
Much of the nation's economic direction will hinge on what our Washington "looters" ultimately determine.
But it shouldn't take much logic to think, however, that if Americans at any level on the tax scale are required to give more of their money to the federal government (to spend or reduce our debt), you cannot reach any conclusion other than to say this will retard economic growth.
Expect a recession. When we spoke to SunTrust Chief Economist Gregory Miller last month, he said one of his primary economic indicators is always business capital spending. "It's going the wrong way," he said. In fact, Miller said at the time, it's indicating recession.
Allen Carlson, chief executive officer of Sarasota-based Sun Hydraulics, said the same thing. His company manufactures hydraulic parts used in manufacturing plants, airlines and heavy machinery all over the world. Sun's business is a leading economic indicator of the direction of future manufacturing demand.
In early November, Carlson was unequivocal about the world and national economic outlook: Demand for Sun products was contracting. Recession, he said, "is inevitable." The economy is still cyclical, Carlson said. It goes into recession at least every five years. By that count, 2013 should mark the start of another one. (The last one went from December 2007 to June 2009.)
Add to this economic climate, the class-war rhetoric that continues to come from the president. He remains true to himself — seeking a greater expansion of the state into your lives. And in the wake of the Connecticut massacre, he also is emboldened to increase restrictions on guns (or as we would put it: take away more freedom). This will heighten the nation's cultural tensions.
So that's the backdrop to what we'll be awakening on Jan. 1. It's enough to give you a New Year's hangover.
And it makes it a challenge to be optimistic that 2013 can be an extraordinarily positive year. But we remain hopeful.
In spite of the context, we'll go into 2013, as we did in prior years, with wishes for what would make a better world:
• One more time: That the legal, emotional logjam among the Colony Beach & Tennis Resort combatants comes to a peaceful, compromising end. This would include a real plan (key word: real) to redevelop the property into a much-needed, thriving tennis resort worthy of the Colony name.
• That Ocean Properties, owner of the Longboat Key Club and Resort and Hilton Longboat Key Beachfront Resort, somehow obtains expedited permits to begin expanding the Hilton — in spite of ongoing issues with the town's zoning code and comprehensive plan that preclude development.
• That the Town Commission commits to junking the entire town zoning code and comprehensive plan and appoints a committee of qualified residents (and maybe an experienced consultant) to write in three to six months what amounts to a new "constitution" for the town for the 21st century.
• That exciting development plans emerge from existing or new owners to redevelop the three parcels east of the new Publix. They need it … badly.
• That Longboat Key voters wisely discern in March which Town Commission candidates are the best candidates to continue moving the town forward to remain one of the premier residential-resort communities in Florida.
• That the owners of Whitney Beach Shopping Plaza acknowledge that it needs more than a new roof. How about a new vision, followed by new capital?
• That city of Sarasota voters wisely discern in March which City Commission candidates are best to move the city out of stagnation and forward so it becomes more fiscally sound and economically vibrant — the economic envy of the coast.
• That the Quay property on the bayfront emerges from its legal/banking quagmire in the hands of qualified developers who can transform that property into the jewel it should become.
• That Gil Waters' 1959 vision for downtown — walkable Main Street and a walkover bridge from Main Street to Bayfront Park over Bayfront Drive — is completed.
• That the City Commission and city staff; downtown merchants and property owners; and St. Armands Circle merchants and property owners begin discussions on how to collaborate to keep Main Street and St. Armands Circle competitive with the new University Town Center Mall at Interstate 75 and University Parkway. Crucial to this is establishing a vision for customer parking and making it happen (i.e. a sensible parking garage on State Street; reconfiguring the entrances to the garage on Palm Avenue and building a garage — and a boutique hotel — at St. Armands Circle.
• BIGGEST WISH OF ALL: That a new generation of young leaders emerges with a vision, commitment and passion to take Sarasota to new heights; that this group full-heartedly pursues a big, bold vision that embraces economic and population growth, increased residential density downtown and a goal to attract the best of the creative class, making Sarasota the envy of community, economic and quality-of-life success.
• That the Sarasota County Commission comes to its senses and does whatever it takes to give Schroeder-Manatee Ranch the assurances it needs to proceed with its Villages of Lakewood Ranch residential development on its Sarasota County property south of University Parkway.
• That the Sarasota County Commission comes to its senses and scraps the county's 2050 plan — a major impediment to any economic growth in northeast Sarsota County.
• That the Sarasota County Commission scales back its Siesta Key beach redevelopment to include only renovating the historic pavilion and erecting a two-level beach garage.
• That Gov. Rick Scott and the Legislature continue to reject "partnering" with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Obamacare and its "health exchanges." Soon enough we'll see: It's another federal Ponzi scheme perpetrated on taxpayers.
• That Florida lawmakers quit governing in the margins with Florida's public schools and go rogue and bold — convert all of K-12 funding to a G.I. bill voucher system, giving every student a voucher or cash to be spent on any accredited school of his choice, just as was done with G.I. bill funding for veterans after World War II up through today. Make all of the schools compete.
• That the Legislature gets even bolder and eliminates the Florida Education Finance Program (a Legislature-imposed local millage rate for schools) and replaces this property tax with a higher, broader sales tax. This is complicated, but it would make Florida's economy boom.
• That the Legislature at least: 1) Eliminates the corporate income altogether; and 2) Eliminates the tangible personal property tax. Memo to everyone: Businesses don't pay taxes; they pass them on to consumers. Although Florida voters rejected the constitutional amendment eliminating the tangible tax, lawmakers could do so legislatively. Eliminating these two taxes would enhance Florida's business climate immensely and help the state reduce its still-high unemployment rate.
In 1979, Milton and Rose Friedman authored "Free to Choose," a great book that showed the deleterious effects on individual freedom of the path the United States was on at the time — heading deeper and faster toward Fabian socialism and more New Deal liberalism.
"Will our golden age come to an end in a relapse into the tyranny and misery that has always been, and remains today, the state of most of mankind?" they wrote. "Or shall we have the wisdom, the foresight, and the courage to change our course, to learn from experience and to benefit from a 'rebirth of freedom'?
When they wrote this, the Friedmans believed the tide was turning for the better. That was the title of their last chapter. And it did.
But what would the Friedmans say today? The tide has turned back again, shifting at the federal level toward ever larger government and the unbridled mortgaging of future generations.
Our wish for the U.S. in 2013 is the rebirth of the fundamental principles born in 1787 in Philadelphia — an educational movement that sweeps the country, from classroom to classroom, from dinner table to dinner table.
Rescuing the future from our current path will require teaching the next generations what they do not get in our classrooms today — the detailed story of the American Revolution, how and why the Constitution was constructed and how free-market capitalism differs from economic statism.

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
I have worked for many different people in my time but one of my first mentors was a very successful restaurant owner. I was relating this story the other day in a workshop of a staff meeting he led where he was talking about missed opportunities we had as waiters and I thought it is appropriate for our industry.
He said,
"What I have provided for each of you is an opportunity to run your own business here. You need to look at your job this way. I have invested in all of the things we need to run the restaurant. I have given you each tables with which you can run your own business. Now you can do the minimum, ask the customer what they want and deliver it in a most basic way for which you will receive basic tips or compensation. But you could take that same number of people and lead them through the experience. Using the training we have given you offer them appetizers; explain the menu in a way that gets the customer seeing the food in their head, explain what wine works best so they will order a bottle and then get them to close out the meal with a dessert or after dinner drinks. Then you will have larger checks, thus larger compensation from the same number of people.
My question to each of you is, what kind of business do you want to run?"
I can see If these words came from an owner to their sales and service staff, it could have the same meaning.
Each of us every day should ask ourselves if we are looking at what we do as running our own business and following our processes in order to deliver the customer experience the company is offering – or if we doing it our own way.
Funny how something so simple at the time, over 20 years ago, will impact you long term. I have never forgotten this meeting and continue to pass it's wisdom on during all of my training workshops.
Let me know your thoughts.

Thank you for sharing this with us Glenn, it truly is a great way to view your position at your employment, whatever it may be. A lot of times salespeople feel like "everyone" is out to get them but what are they doing? And how can they change it? If they treat their customer as THEIR own rather than just the dealership's then I am 100% sure their referral rate will go up and they could bring even more business in, not just for us, the dealership, but for THEMSELVES. Their customers will love their service to them and spread the word... If more employees thought like this, especially in our industry, it could change the way people think of Car Salespeople---not the slimy guy you want to avoid but maybe as a friend.
I agree. It usually comes down to you but having someone lay it out in this manner helped us at the time to realize our own individual potential. Thanks for the feedback. spread the word
Aaron, I am humbled by the comparison to Gary. He is someone who I have a huge amount of respect for.
thanks for the comments
Glenn, this is so meaningful. No matter what job I've done in the past, I have always considered myself self-employed. Of course your employer believes you work for him/her, but in reality, you work for yourself. Do you want to be a leader? Do you want to be successful? Whatever you want, you make it happen by your own initiative. It's ALL attitude!

1. Discuss the various approaches, both Jewish and Gentile, to the "Jewish question" during the interwar period in Poland. What light do they shed on the strengths, as well as the contradictions, within the Jewish community? To what extent was the relationship between Jews and the Poles of other religious backgrounds shaped by religious and cultural differences? By political and economic factors?
2. How did Jewish-Polish relations in Warsaw change after the German invasion? Were these changes directly attributable to official Nazi policies? Did the pressures of war justify (or excuse) the Poles's acquiescence to the creation of the Ghetto and their readiness to identify Jews to the Nazi authorities?
3. What insights do the Oyneg Shabes archives give into the lives of Jews in provincial towns (shtetlekh) both before and during the war? How did the interactions between Poles and Jews differ from those in cities and what accounts for these differences?
4. Why were Ringelblum and others able to establish a relatively independent authority within the Ghetto? What practical steps did they institute to maintain a "normal" community? In what ways did Jewish history, culture, and traditional values provide a foundation for a sense of shared responsibility and social solidarity?
5. Compare and contrast the Warsaw Judenrat and Oyneg Shabes. How did their personal political beliefs influence the leaders of each group? Did the Judenrat under Czerniakow's administration misuse its powers? Could it have stopped the widespread corruption of the police or refused to participate in rounding up Jews to be sent to labor camps during the early years of the war? Are there examples of situations in which the Judenrat's actions were more sensible and more effective than those organized and supported by Oyneg Shabes?
6. Survival in the Ghetto depended to a large extent on illegal activities, including the smuggling of food and other necessities. Were the rules or norms of the past entirely abandoned in the Ghetto? What explanations are provided by the members of the Oyneg Shabes for aiding these efforts and for other activities that appear to be unethical or even immoral?
7. Chapter 5, "A Band of Comrades" focuses on individual members of Oyneg Shabes. What characteristics do they share? What impact did their prewar occupations, economic class, and political leanings have on the contents of the archives? How did the conduct of the war and the actions of the Western allies and the Soviet Union affect their perceptions and opinions?
8. Discuss the division between secular and religious Jews. How did each group define Jewish identity? What do their different, often contentious, points of view reflect about positive and negative developments in Jewish society during the war? How did rabbis and other religious Jews reconcile the unspeakable with their faith?
9. "War and its massive assault on Jewish society led to a reversal of gender roles and a new emphasis on values that had traditionally been the purview of women" [p. 241]. In taking on unusual or untraditional responsibilities, what particular strengths did women exhibit? How did their roles evolve as the war progressed? Do you think that women who took German lovers acted in a morally reprehensible way?
10. What do the writings of children reveal about the psychological impact of war on the most vulnerable members of society [p. 259-268]? Beyond providing for basic needs (food and shelter) what other obligations do adults have to the next generation? In what ways did the adults in the Ghetto fulfill these responsibilities and in what ways did they fail?
11. Rachel Auerbach, one of the few survivors, addressed the question of Jewish resistance [pp. 202-3]. Does Who Will Write Our History? support her explanations and arguments? What examples are there of Jews "standing up to the Germans"? Discuss the reasons for Jewish "passivity" offered throughout the book, including the psychological effects of German schemes that pitted Jews against Poles and Jews against one another; the refusal (or inability) of Polish Jews to accept their countrymen's willingness to support the Germans; and the abiding belief that the fate of the Jewish people lies in the hands of God. What further insights does Ringelblum's own analysis provide [p. 350-351]?
12. "From the very beginning Ringelblum understood the need to encourage writing 'from inside the event,' writing that would not be skewed by the distorting lens of retrospective recollection and selective memory" [p. 13]. Are eyewitness accounts necessarily free from distortions? What personal convictions, pressures, and prejudices appear in the excerpts quoted in Who Will Write Our History?
13. What information or impressions did you have about the Holocaust before reading Who Will Write Our History? Discuss how such works as Anne Frank's The Diary of a Young Girl, Schindler's List, the writings of Primo Levi, Elie Wiesel, and other survivors, as well as history books and film or television documentaries, have shaped our understanding of the Holocaust. Did Who Will Write Our History? provide a new perspective on the millions who lost their lives during the war? On those who perpetrated or collaborated in the destruction of Jewish lives and culture?
14. What fears and hopes about the future of Jews not only in Europe but also throughout the Diaspora does the archive reflect and how fully were they realized? Did Who Will Write Our History? change your feelings about Zionism and the creation of Israel as a Jewish state?
15. Ringelblum "complained that Gentile historians had shown little interest in Jewish history and that assimilationist Jewish historians had distorted that history…. Meanwhile, he emphasized, community records and documents disappeared, folklore vanished, and national cohesion atrophied" [p. 9]. Can a similar criticism be applied to the treatment of other groups (for instance, African-Americans, religious minorities, and women) in most mainstream historical writings? What effect does this have on members of those groups?
16. From Pol Pot's murderous reign in Cambodia to the recent mass killings in Bosnia, Rwanda, and Congo, the post-World War II world has witnessed a series of genocidal campaigns and "ethnic cleansings." What parallels can be drawn between the Holocaust and these other horrific events? Are we any closer to resolving the factors, both collective and individual, that establish the groundwork (and justification) for genocide?

Voters Reject Special Interest Power Plays
Proposals 2-6 soundly defeated
Michigan voters resoundingly voted down attempts to change the state constitution Tuesday.
Most notably, union-backed efforts to benefit themselves by changing the state constitution were soundly defeated.
Proposal 2, which would have enshrined collective bargaining in the state constitution, lost in a landslide 58%-42%, as did Proposals 3 through 6.
F. Vincent Vernuccio, director of labor relations at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, said it was telling that President Barack Obama fared well while Proposal 2 was defeated.
"It shows the Democratic Party is not knee jerk union anymore," Vernuccio said. "It shows how much of an overreach it was that even Obama Democrats voted against Prop 2. … The defeat is a major setback for organized labor across the country and further shows that the reforms in states like Indiana and Wisconsin were not a blip, but a national trend that is gaining momentum."
Proposal 2 supporters spent more than $20 million to try and get special union privileges enshrined in the state constitution, and that apparently didn't sit well with voters in Michigan.
"It was obvious to us from the start, that this proposal was never about giving union workers additional rights, but instead was a power-grab by union executives intent on keeping their stranglehold on workers and their dues," Terry Bowman, a UAW member and president of Union Conservatives, said in an email Tuesday night. "Union officials have wasted our dues on a project doomed to fail from the beginning."
In the closest race of the night, voters also rejected the referendum Proposal 1, which allows emergency managers to continue operating in failing municipalities and school districts. Proposal 3, the attempt to put a 25-percent renewable energy mandate into the state constitution, was defeated by double-digits. As was Proposal 4, the SEIU scheme that allowed the union to take $6 million a year from family members who provide home-based care to loved ones.
Patrick Wright, senior legal analyst for the Mackinac Center, said the skimming of union dues will end at the latest when the collective bargaining agreement between the SEIU and Michigan Quality Community Care Council expires in February.
The SEIU has taken more than $32.7 million from the elderly and disabled who get Medicaid money in Michigan since 2005. Although the money to support Proposal 4 was paid through a committee and a recently created non-profit organization, the SEIU reportedly spent more than $5 million on the campaign, and possibly as much as $9 million.
"The people of the state recognized an underhanded scheme when they saw it," Wright said.
Proposal 5, the 2/3 tax amendment that would have required a super-majority vote of the legislature to get a tax increase or a new tax also was resoundingly voted down. And Proposal 6, the international bridge and tunnel proposal supported by Ambassador Bridge Owner Matty Moroun lost, as well.
Here are the results of the ballot proposals:
Proposal 1: Referendum on the Emergency Manager Law – No 52%, Yes 48%
Proposal 2: The 'Collective Bargaining' Amendment – No 58%, Yes 42%
Proposal 3: '25 x 25' Renewable Energy Standard – No 63%, Yes 37%
Proposal 4: The Unionization of Home-Based Caregivers – No 56%, Yes 44%
Proposal 5: The Two-Thirds Majority Tax Limitation – No 69%, Yes 31%
Proposal 6: The International Bridge/Tunnel Voting Requirement – No 60%, Yes 40%

Mark Kurlansky's "The Food of a Younger Land"
The Eating Habits of Americans (from the 1930s WPA chronicles)
Written onDecember 01 , 2012
In the 1930s, writers for the Works Progress Administration (WPA) chronicled the eating habits of Americans. Here are some Vermont excerpts, as collected in Mark Kurlansky's The Food of a Younger Land:
From "Vermont Foods" by Cora Moore
Sour Milk Doughnuts: No native Vermonter goes without doughnuts for breakfast, even if mother has to get up before-hand to make them. The recipe?—2 cups of flour, 3/4 teaspoon soda, 1 teaspoon of cream of tartar, 3/4 teaspoon of salt, and a dash of nutmeg sifted together. Add a beaten egg, 1/2 cup sugar, tablespoon melted butter, and 1/2 cup sour milk. Knead on the board adding flour, if necessary; cut and fry in deep fat. For Sugared Doughnuts, when cool, shake in a bag with some confectioners' sugar. Blueberry griddlecakes are a Vermont Sunday morning breakfast.
From "Eating in Vermont" by Roaldus Richmond
As a rule Vermonters are not enthusiastic about salads or fish, favorites with the sophisticated, although Vermont gardens and Vermont lakes and streams offer a wealth of possibilities for both dishes. Fancy foods and frothy things are not popular in the state, whose people go for plain, solid, substantial foodstuffs.

Lamont full circle as Ausmus' bench coach
Former skipper sought Tigers' new manager for role when interviewing with Red Sox
DETROIT -- Truth be told, Gene Lamont wanted Brad Ausmus as his bench coach -- in Boston.
That was two years ago, when Lamont finished second to Bobby Valentine for the Red Sox's managerial job. Lamont wanted a young managerial candidate to groom, like former Dodgers skipper Joe Torre did with Don Mattingly, and he felt Ausmus had the traits to be a great one.
"It was something I saw when he was a player in Houston," said Lamont, a third-base coach with the Astros under Jimy Williams a decade ago. "I thought he was an intelligent guy and a knowledgeable guy if he wanted to do that. But he had to be committed to it, because he hadn't been out of playing [for] that long."
Two years later, Ausmus is not only hungry to manage, but ready, in the Tigers' eyes. It'll be Lamont in the bench coach role to help Ausmus make the transition.
Even if Ausmus had gotten a managerial job elsewhere, he wouldn't want it any other way.
"He's the guy I would've had as my bench coach, regardless," Ausmus said of Lamont. "It just so happens he was already here."
It's the one coaching spot on his staff that Ausmus knew right away, not just because of a friendship struck up in Houston but because of Lamont's experience as a game manager. He spent eight years managing the White Sox and Pirates in the 1990s, and he spent the last eight years as former skipper Jim Leyland's top confidant in Detroit.
It'll be a transition for Lamont, too.
"I just think you have to just see what Brad wants to know, what he's comfortable with," Lamont said. "And Jim and I are so close that I could say anything. And I think Brad wants me to be the same way, I think. Will he take it all? I don't know. But Brad's a smart guy."
It's going to take some time for Ausmus to choose the remainder of his staff. He has some other coaches from Leyland's staff looking for work if he wants them, but team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski emphasized he won't force any coaches on his new 44-year-old manager.
That includes the pitching coach that helped Detroit's rotation become the formidable group it is today.
"We are in the process of looking at possible pitching coach candidates," Ausmus said. "I know [2013 pitching coach Jeff Jones] from when I was here [as a catcher], and certainly he's a prominent name on that list. Right now, we haven't made any final decisions, but that will be [forthcoming]."
All of the coaches from Leyland's old staff became free agents when their contracts expired on Thursday. Beyond Lamont, Jones is by far the most likely to come back. His tenure in the Tigers organization not only predates Leyland's managerial tenure, it goes back to Ausmus' days as a Tigers catcher.
That was one of five stints Jones had as bullpen coach. It took an opportunity and a leap of faith from Leyland to give him a shot at pitching coach in 2011, and the results since have been outstanding.
Jones is in high enough regard that he shouldn't have much trouble finding another job as a pitching coach somewhere along the line if the Tigers don't retain him. The remarkable health of Detroit's pitchers, including starters who have avoided surgery through three consecutive years of extended innings through postseason runs, is a credit to Jones. So is his working relationship with co-aces Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer, both of whom have benefited from his work over the past couple of years.
For Jones, though, Michigan is home year-round. When he hasn't been coaching in Detroit, he was the pitching coach in nearby Triple-A Toledo.
"As I told [Ausmus], I like Jeff Jones; I recommend him in the highest," Dombrowski said. "I have no reason not to. But I just think it's his decision. He has to make that decision."
Dombrowski's power over coaching hires has usually amounted to veto power rather than appointment power. He has let his managers appoint their staff coming in but reserved the right to say no if he has concerns about the fit.
The one coach Dombrowski did hire in recent years was the pitching coach before Jones. Rick Knapp came highly recommended out of the Twins organization when Dombrowski and his staff undertook a search for a replacement to Chuck Hernandez. Knapp spent 2 1/2 seasons on the job before he was dismissed, and Jones moved in from his role as bullpen coach.
Leyland's other coaches -- hitting coach Lloyd McClendon, infield coach Rafael Belliard, third-base coach Tom Brookens and bullpen coach Mike Rojas -- could be in different situations. Belliard had been with Leyland since 2006, the former manager's first season in Detroit. Brookens, on the staff since 2010, faced a much-critiqued first season at third base. Rojas, a longtime organizational man, filled the bullpen coach opening when Jones moved over.
McClendon is in a particularly unique position, having interviewed for the managerial job that Ausmus won. McClendon has a second interview for the Mariners' managerial vacancy, according to a source, so the question could be moot.
Even with well-qualified coaches, sometimes the desire for a fresh voice overrules the qualifications. Leyland, for example, had great respect for former Tigers third-base coach Juan Samuel, but he wanted his own guy.
With Ausmus managing for the first time, it's hard to tell whom he might pick for different posts. If he has a contemporary confidant, it could be Mark Loretta, a teammate of his in Houston and Los Angeles who was a fellow special assistant in the Padres organization the past few years. Loretta was Ausmus' right-hand man on his coaching staff for Team Israel in the World Baseball Classic.
Another name to keep in mind is former Tigers reliever Doug Brocail, Ausmus' teammate in San Diego, Houston and Detroit. Brocail spent 2 1/2 seasons as the Astros' pitching coach before Houston named him as a special assistant at this past season's end.

For the first time since its release more than a decade ago, Trader Joe's award-winning Charles Shaw wine -- affectionately known as "two-buck Chuck" -- will cost more than $2 at California stores.
Californians will now have to spend to $2.49 for a 750ml bottle.
The Golden State was the last remaining holdout to sell the wine for $1.99. The vino's price tag ranges from state to state, with Ohioans paying the most at $3.79.
More than five million bottles of the wine are sold each year.

NAMEgethostid, sethostid - get or set the unique identifier of the current host
SYNOPSIS#include <unistd.h>
long gethostid(void);
int sethostid(long hostid);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
sethostid(): _BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)
DESCRIPTIONgethostid() and sethostid() respectively get or set a unique 32-bit identifier for the current machine. The 32-bit identifier is intended to be unique among all Unix systems in existence. This normally resembles the Internet address for the local machine, as returned by gethostbyname(3), and thus usually never needs to be set.
The sethostid() call is restricted to the superuser.
RETURN VALUEgethostid() returns the 32-bit identifier for the current host as set by sethostid().
On success, sethostid() returns 0; on error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORSsethostid() can fail with the following errors:
- The caller did not have permission to write to the file used to store the host ID.
- The calling process's effective user or group ID is not the same as its corresponding real ID.
CONFORMING TO4.2BSD; these functions were dropped in 4.4BSD. SVr4 includes gethostid() but not sethostid(). POSIX.1-2001 specifies gethostid() but not sethostid().
NOTESIn the glibc implementation, the hostid is stored in the file /etc/hostid. (In glibc versions before 2.2, the file /var/adm/hostid was used.)
In the glibc implementation, if gethostid() cannot open the file containing the host ID, then it obtains the hostname using gethostname(2), passes that hostname to gethostbyname_r(3) in order to obtain the host's IPv4 address, and returns a value obtained by bit-twiddling the IPv4 address. (This value may not be unique.)
BUGSIt is impossible to ensure that the identifier is globally unique.

For the next two days, we're going to do in-depth scouting reports on the two big AFC divisional playoff games. First up: Pats/Broncos.
The Teams: The New England Patriots vs. the Denver Broncos
Records: 13-3 (Pats), 10-7 (Broncos)
The Line: Patriots by 13.5. Oh, great. That's all we need: An even BIGGER line for Tebow to overcome.
The Coaches: Bill Belichick vs. John Fox. Did you know that John Fox has won a playoff game more recently (last week) than Bill Belichick (2007)? That totally means Fox is the better coach. Anyway, it's worth noting here that Belichick is something of a Tebow groupie and has been known in the past to trade football knowledge with Urban Meyer, Tebow's former coach. That deep knowledge of all things Tebow didn't prevent the Broncos QB from scoring twice on the ground the last time these teams met, but I'm sure the King of the Hobos has more diabolical things in store.
The Offenses: The Broncos took a 16-7 led over the Pats last time around, then watched helplessly as Tom Brady and the New England offense ripped off 27 straight points. The Pats possess one of the three virtually indefensible offenses in the NFL right now (NE, NO, GB). To give you an idea of how versatile the Pats are, consider that tight end Aaron Hernandez was, statistically speaking, the third best tight end in the entire NFL this season, and he's not even the best TE on his own squad. Rob Gronkowski caught seven million TD passes, and WELKAHHHHH will get his fair share as well. The Broncos will have a healthier Von Miller for this game, but they're gonna need Tebow to be as prolific this week as he was against the Steelers to have any hope of keeping up.
As for the Broncos, the formula is simple: Run a lot, then throw deep to Demaryius Thomas. I can't imagine the Pats will let Thomas run free like the Steelers did last week. That was baffling.
The Defenses: Like I said, Von Miller will be near full strength this time around for Denver, and the Broncos have two very good corners (Champ Bailey and Andre Goodman) on hand to deal with Welker and Deion Branch. But those tight ends... hoo boy. No one else was able to stop them this season, so I see no reason why the Broncos should be any different.
As for the Pats defense, you already know that it's a mess, with cornerback Kyle Arrington being the weakest link of all. Expect second-year man Devin McCourty to be given the task of covering Thomas, with lots and lots of safety help. Remember: the Broncos lost WR Eric Decker for the season last week, so it's Thomas or nothing.
Key Matchup: Thomas vs. McCourty. If Thomas gets free, this is a game. If he doesn't, this is a blowout, regardless of all that destiny business.
Super Advanced Scouting Report: Patriots Vs. Broncos
Can Tim Tebow do it again?
For the next two days, we're going to do in-depth scouting reports on the two big AFC divisional playoff games. First up: Pats/Broncos.

Why isn't the guy on the monitor singing?
Ohhhh! I like her eyes. That is more expression than I can pull. Her whole face, wonderfully done!
Her arms are in a strange position, put them to the side, going down, or maybe crossed in front to make a V, or in the back. The legs look okay, but the arms are a little skinny and small. Take a look at most Manga or online comics. Hands are HUGE! In some samples from rumiko takahashi's work that I see, the hand is just as big as the face. Look at Byran's realistic picture of Keriel, the hands are about 1/4 the size of the face. If you imagine her opening her palm, and spreading her fingers out, it would span her whole face. In fact, try to cover your own face with your hand, that's how big it is.
I know at first, when you think about it, hands should be small. I used to draw my hands small, I was wondering why they looked kinda strange, then I started tracing some of Ranma 1/2 comics that I had, and I realized in this one pose, the hand that Ranma had up was just as big as his head!
So in short a closed fist is just about 1/4 of the face, an open palm, closed finger hand is 1/2 of the face, and fingers spread open wide is about the span of the whole face. Just a general rule, it's a little smaller than those fractions, and also, people have different size hands and different size heads.

This is the most you see of Catwoman's face on the first page of Catwoman #1.
And this is just one of the shots of her cleavage on that same page.
And so you don't feel shortchanged in the imaginary breasteses department, Catwoman's apartment is also scattered with bras. (Finally, a character who really speaks to me!) The Catwoman reboot has come under a lot of fire for being so centered on Catwoman's cleavage, but that really isn't fair; it completely ignores how much attention is lavished on her pleather-clad ass.
And then there is Red Hood and the Outlaws, which features a re-imagining of the character Starfire, who, um, wears bikinis and blows stuff up, I guess? Oh, and she has sex with both of the main male characters.
DC Comics has been rolling out "The New 52" for a month now – reboots of classics that restart on issue #1, with a few new titles thrown in. They clearly expected to set the world of comics on fire, but not quite in the way they have in this case. Their bid for new readers – it's a little easier to dive in at issue #1 than #437 – has hit a snag with some of the very readers they had hoped to attract.
New or returning female comic readers who pick up one of these two books first are likely to sigh, assume they're in adolescent male fantasyland, and never come back. Starfire and Catwoman are pinups, but that's really only part of the problem – the core of the problem is that they're sexy and nothing else. Zippo.

In order to make its employees more comfortable when they want to take a break from work, a sports marketing company from Sao Paulo, Latin Sports, asked Brazilian architect Simone Tasca to refurbish a room to turn it into a chill out space.
An abandoned, humid and dark warehouse was turned into this lovely bright space in two months.
Photo: Alexandre Dotta
Some cool features include a wall covered with bricks recovered from discarded demolition materials, which gives a warm, asymmetrical feeling to the room.
At the center of the room there's a large recovered pallet sofa/day bed with different heights. Even if here it is not intended for sleep, it's an interesting idea for a studio, the opposite of getting rid of the bed: making the bed into a multi-purpose space.
On the sides, the pallets offer space for magazines or books.
Retro tiles were placed as a mix and match wall in the kitchen, where another neat idea was used: two similar, different-width tables were turned into an expandable one by cutting the legs of one a little and placing it under the other. Both were wheeled. This creates a dining room that can be expanded to double the space in no time.
Photo: Alexandre Dotta
LEDs were used to lighten the whole space.
In the small washstand, instead of a large mirror the designer decided to use eighteen small ones acquired at a beach fair creating a mirrored wall. Instead of a washbasin, a bucket was used.
The space (via Construir mais por menos) is so complete that it could easily be a 600-square-foot apartment.

Hackers are manipulating a hot topics feature of Twitter to promote malware-infected websites. The gaming of the Twitter Trends feature recalls the manipulation of Google search results using black-hat search engine optimisation techniques.
In the case of the Twitter attack, cyber-criminals created hundreds of accounts and posted multiple messages under the topic "PhishTube Broadcast", a reference to the US rock band Phish, but containing links to a spoof pornographic Web page. The topic appeared in the Trending Topic list, achieving greater visibility and therefore more user traffic to comments made under that category.
Users intrigued enough to visit the supposed websites promoted through the Twitter social-engineering ruse risk exposure to the PrivacyCenter fake antivirus (scareware) package. The software runs a spoof scan of system before falsely informing users that their computers are infected with malware, whether they are or not, in order to induce frightened users into buying software of little or not utility.
Attacks of this nature promoting a scareware package called System Security surfaced last week. The latest run of attacks demonstrates a continuation of the same methods, and its adaptation to make the ruse seem more plausible and likely to attract notice.
"We have recently been warning of an increase in BlackHat SEO attacks (malicious techniques to improve search engine rankings), particularly those aimed at selling fake antivirus products," said Luis Corrons, Technical Director of PandaLabs. "In this case, instead of a search engine, the Twitter ranking mechanism is the target of the attack, forcing topics to appear in the list of the most popular. Anyone interested in this topic will most likely end up on one of the thousands of malicious comments posted, although we have also seen a few legitimate comments".
A write-up of the attacks - complete with screen-shots - by Panda Security can be found here.
The targeting of Twitter is similar to recent attacks on other Web 2.0 websites, such as Digg.com and YouTube. ®

It focuses on improving the energy efficiency of the country's cement sector and mitigating the resulting carbon emissions. The Programme is expected to enable Vietnam to prepare for a full-scale Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) in the cement sector. The NAMA would count as a part of Vietnam's contribution under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC ) and allow the sector to attract international support towards the implementation of the proposal.

Photographers can have it rough sometimes. Their job requires them to put themselves in close proximity to the action. A photographer who is too shy or self-conscious to stand up in front of a crowd isn't going to get many good shots.
I felt bad for our photographer Vasiliy Baziuk a few weeks ago.
He was assigned to cover a concert by Canandaigua (N.Y.) Academy students who paid musical tribute to the military.
Photographers can have it rough sometimes. Their job requires them to put themselves in close proximity to the action. A photographer who is too shy or self-conscious to stand up in front of a crowd — in this case, a crowd of thousands at the Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center — isn't going to get many good shots.
I doubt if anyone ever used the word "shy" to describe Vasiliy, however, and he combined his trademark enthusiasm and creative composition skills to capture some compelling shots. In fact, we devoted about two-thirds of the front page to the photos and a story that ran with them.
For all his good work, Vasiliy was publicly upbraided.
A school board member wrote the paper to complain that his efforts were intrusive. He stood too close to a student soloist, she said, and the flash on his camera was distracting. "It was rude and disrespectful beyond description," she wrote.
Vasiliy, I feel your pain.
I, too, was made aware in no uncertain terms that my presence as a photographer at the local concert venue was less than welcome.
The event was a jazz festival at the veritable shell, probably in the late 1980s or early 1990s but definitely before Sept. 28, 1991, since that's the day one of the performers — Miles Davis — died.
But Miles was in fine form on this sultry summer day. And as it turned out, his was one of the few acts we were allowed to photograph from the edge of the stage. The handlers for both Ray Charles and Diane Schuur insisted we shoot their performances from about 30 rows back, near the mixing board, so there wouldn't be any distractions.
How we would have distracted the pianists, both of whom were blind, was not explained.
But that's all part of covering an artist. You have to operate within the confines of their boundaries. For instance, when photographer Spencer Tunick convinces hundreds of people to disrobe and pose for his camera (how he does this, I have no idea; I have enough trouble convincing even one person to disrobe), he insists journalists refer to the event as an "installation," as opposed to say, a mass nude-in.
Most artists are a little more reasonable. (Most. Pop vocalist Tori Amos invited reporters to cover her sound check when she played at the shell a few years ago, then had security tell the arriving journalists not to look at her.)
No such unusual requests on the day of the jazz fest. Just the usual three-songs-and-out rule. Most musicians allow the press to shoot photos for the first three songs (sometimes just the first song; sometimes the first two). For Miles Davis, it was three.
I and a few other photographers clicked away as the performance started. Davis' habit of turning his back on the audience didn't make our job any easier. As the third song started, I angled my lens toward the stage with a little more success. The other photographers had given up and I suddenly had more room to work. I was just getting Miles in focus and prepared to capture an image I was certain would be worthy of the cover of Downbeat when I was advised I had overstayed my welcome. And by "advised" I mean grabbed by the back of the collar and hauled out of the shell.
I had been misadvised on the two-songs-and-out rule.
Mercifully, the music was plenty loud enough to mask whatever laughter was generated by my enforced departure.
Sometimes you get criticized in print; sometimes you get tossed out on your ear. It's all part of being a photojournalist and it is, in large part, why I switched my specialty to columnist.
