It's my (birthday) party
... and I'll cry if I want to. OK, I'm not crying today, but it's the first day in a couple of weeks. Been too swamped with work to think straight. Missed bedtime with Jude more than a few nights and I'm working from home in the same apartment. Awful. Trying to keep my head above water and keep this paycheck coming in.

Spending those hard earned Valor Points (Holy Edition)
Now that I'm not raiding on a regular basis, I'm suddenly very, very conscious of my valor points. While I wasn't lucky with the RNG in the month and a half I was killing a lot of raid bosses (I didn't see a single plate drop, not one!), I still hoped. Now my mantra is: If you're a good girl and do your random heroic every day and pug your Baradin Hold once a week, every month or so you can choose a new piece of gear.
Since every Valor Point is precious to me, I've been very, very careful with the order I spend them in. Don't want to buy a piece of gear I might replace later on in the week. Eventually I was able to make a list of the items I wanted, in the order I wanted, as an occasional raider who has intermittent access to raid loot.
A Pre-note: Spirit/No Haste vs No Spirit/Haste
The points cloak, relic, ring, and, to an extent, boots, force you to choose between a piece with Spirit but no Haste and a piece with Haste but no Spirit. Which do you go for?
If you're using an absolute Int > Spirit > Haste > Crit > Mastery approach, the piece with Spirit wins out. If you're using a weighted stats approach (for example, Int = 1, Spirit = 0.98, Haste = 0.95, etc – note that this is just an example and not one of the several weighted stat suggested at Elitist Jerks), then a piece with no Spirit, but Haste and Crit will win out.
Looking at what the more reliable EJ paladins are doing with their gear, it seems that those who are wearing a mix of 346 and 359 pieces are opting for a mix of Spirit/No Haste and No Spirit/Haste pieces, and those, well, the one, poster in heroic raid gear was choosing exclusively the badge pieces with Spirit.
From a practical point of view, as much as my inner big number lover craves haste, a bit more Mana regen is probably a safer bet than a bit shorter casts.
Pre-note #2: Assuming Haste above Crit and Mastery
There are still different schools of thought as to the ideal proportions of Haste and other output stats, however the dominating trend is MAOR HASTE FASTER FASTER FASTER CASTS. I'm also a very impatient person and love my haste. Therefore, this list assume you're like me and favor haste over crit and mastery.
Valor Points Pieces, In Loose Order of Acquisition for the Occasional Raider
1- Core of Ripeness
For 1650 points, this is a great, easy to acquire, piece for a newer level 85 if you don't expect to have access to two of the following: Tyrande's Favorite Doll (long, long hours of Archeology), Vibrant Alchemist's Stone (Concentration) (Alchemy only) and Darkmoon Card: Tsunami (BoE Inscription). (For a list of what the stats of each translate to in table form see this post)
Your Tol Barad dailies can get you Mandala of Stirring Patterns, but the constant Spirit with an Int proc is far less useful than constant Int with a Spirit proc.
If you do raid on occasion, the trinkets that might drop are Jar of Ancient Remedies from Maloriak and Fall of Mortality from Cho'gall.
2- Relic of Eonar/Relic of Norgannon
You won't have to worry about replacing these any time soon: the points relics are the only pve 359 relics available at the moment. And for 700 points, they're a bargain.
They're not a huge upgrade from the 346 Book of the Well Sung Song (Vanessa Van Cleef, HDeadmines) or Tattooed Eyeball (BoE Inscription) which is why I opted for the trinket first. And if you've been lucky enough to have landed yourself Captured Lightning (Asaad, HVortex Pinnacle), you might not be in a hurry to exchange 41 Haste and 700 points for 12 Intellect and 18 Spirit. (Edit: Thank you Effteeaye for catching my omission.)
However, if you don't have a 346 relic yet, go pick up a Valor points relic.
3- Twined Band of Flowers/Band of Secret Names
These guys are 1250 points each, a worthy investment. Your only other choice for a 359 ring outside of raiding is Ring of the Boy Emperor (long hours of Archeology), which is similar, although slightly inferior due to Mastery instead of Crit, to Band of Secret Names.
If you do raid, early bosses Omnotron Defense System and Conclave of Wind drop Security Measure Alpha and Planetary Band respectively. Late boss Cho'gall drops Signet of the Fifth Circle, which is identical to the Archeology ring.
For 1650 points, you can get this pair of shoes. Spirit junkies can wait for Life Force Chargers to drop off Omnotron, but I gave up a long time ago.
Note that these are BoE, so if you're pressed for Valor Points but are drowning in gold, you might be able to pick these up on the Auction House, or pay a high end raider to pick these up for you with their points.
5- Heavenly Breeze/Haunt of Flies
I put the cloaks (which are purchasable for 1250 points) this far down on the list because Drape of the Twins which drops from Valiona and Theralion is so perfectly itemized that it's worth waiting for. If you've reached #5 on the Valor Points list and still haven't seen the cloak drop, go ahead and trade in your points for it.
If you don't raid at all, you can consider picking up the cloak earlier.
6- Reinforced Sapphirium Breastplate
For 2200 points, this chestpiece is expensive and way inferior to its alternative, Breastplate of Avenging Flame which drops off early boss Magmaw.
The 2p and 4p set bonuses for paladins are lackluster, and even if you are aiming for the 4p (which you won't get unless you're killing end bosses), the chestpiece is the piece you're recommended to leave out of your set.
The only reason that this piece isn't last on the list is that the tier pants and legs can drop in easily puggable Baradin Hold. If you've picked up all the other pieces on the list, have 2200 points lying around and you still haven't gotten lucky with Magmaw (or you don't raid at all), consider picking up this chest while you're waiting for something better.
7- Reinforced Sapphirium Greaves
This are so low on the list because they're expensive (2200 points), you can get them for free if you're lucky in Baradin Hold and they're inferior to Legguards of the Emerald Brood, which drop off early boss Halfus.
Don't get these unless you've run out of other things to do with your points and you're still in need of a pair of pants.
8 – Reinforced Sapphirium Gloves
Why waste 1650 points on these when you can just buy the superior World Keeper's Gauntlets as soon as you're exalted with Earthen Ring? If you're collecting your valor points by running the daily heroic, reputation is one of those things you never, ever have to worry about. You're magically exalted with everyone before you realize it.
The third glove alternative are the Flash Freeze Gauntlets which are lovely itemized and drop off Maloriak.
If you're desperate to build your tier set, wait until you already have everything else and you're convinced that Baradin Hold has something personal against you. Even at that, sell a couple of boots (Valor points boots are BoE) before putting 1650 points on these.
And then, sell more boots and start another set
When boss kills are a rare event for you, it'll take awhile to get far on this list. But if, for whatever reason, you do run out of things to do with your points, remember that all the boots can be sold on the Auction House. You can also start looking into tanking, or dpsing, which are other leisurely activities within World of Warcraft.Explore posts in the same categories: Paladinning Info, Teh paladin

I'm not a paladin, but this has been useful for my leafy self too… I didn't know there were VP rings.
(And I'd invite you along to our runs. Holy pally plate is ALL that drops. Seeing as we didn't even have one until last week, they all became lovely shards.)
February 22, 2011 at 3:02 pm
List is pretty much exactly what I have been doing.
At the end of every week I look at my Blue chest piece and ponder spending those points for the tier chest. Yet, every time I hold off…and every time Magmaw lets me down yet again! D:
February 23, 2011 at 7:20 am
Have faith! I don't know what class you are, but Magmaw drops my chest too (leather caster)… and holding off on the tier was a good idea, because last week it dropped! Good luck to you too 🙂
February 23, 2011 at 2:12 am
My guild is more like yours then Jen, 6 weeks from my last raid drop till I was lucky enough to get both bracers and shoulders this week. We had the very nice haste/spirit ring drop from conclave once but that the only spirit ring that dropped anywhere. The haste cloak has dropped 3 times and every healer has rolled every time:(
February 23, 2011 at 3:10 pm
I bought the pvp relic first, because that is almost as good as the Relic of Eonar, and it was free; well almost. I don't pvp generally, so finding I had enough points to buy the pvp Relic made me very happy. Core of Ripeness was my second purchase.
I then bought Heavenly Breeze and Twined band because the bosses are not being kind to our raids. We have killed Halfus, Valiona & Theralion, and the Trons seven times now, and I have yet to see Security Measure Alpha, Drape of the Twins or Legguards of the Emerald Brood drop once.
So all I have left to buy is Tier 11 pieces, and I'm quite reluctant to buy any of them, in case Argolath gets round to dropping them (not that he has before now).
February 23, 2011 at 9:23 pm
Great Post! I personally think a big part of these decisions is the content you are raiding. For 10 man, I would definitely lean towards keeping spirit on every single piece of gear. But for 25 man, there comes a point where you really don't need the spirit anymore, and for that reason, almost every valor piece I chose the haste/no spirit option. Haste is much much more powerful for 25 man raiding because of our hots etc, not cast time. In 10m our raid heals are much less effective, which diminishes the value of haste greatly. My opinion anyway, Cheers you!!

Question. How many (isomorphism types of) finite groups of size at most n are there? What is the asymptotic growth rate? And the same question for rings, fields, graphs, partial orders, etc.
Motivation. This question arises in the context of a certain finite analogue of Borel equivalence relation theory. I explained in this answer that the purpose of Borel equivalence relation theory is to analyze the complexity of various naturally occuring equivalence relations in mathematics, such as the isomorphism relations on various types of structures. It turns out that many of the most natural equivalence relations arising in mathematics are Borel relations on a standard Borel space, and these fit into a hierarchy under Borel reducibility. Thus, this subject allows us make precise the idea that some classification problems are wild and others tame, by fitting them into a precise hierarchy where they can be compared with one another under reducibility. Recently, there has been some work adapting this research project to other contexts. Last Friday, for example, Sy Friedman gave a talk for our seminar on an effective analogue of the Borel theory. Part of his analysis provided a way to think about very fine distinctions in the relative difficulty even of the various problems of classifying finite structures, using methods from complexity theory, such as considering NP equivalence relations under polytime reductions. For a part of his application, it turned out that fruitful conclusions could be made when one knows something about the asymptotic growth rate of the number of isomorphism classes, for the kinds of objects under consideration.
This is where MathOverflow comes in. I find it likely that there are MO people who know about the number of groups. Therefore, please feel free to ignore all the motivation above, and kindly tell us all about the values or asymptotics of the following functions, where n is a natural number:
G(n) = the number of groups of size at most n.
R(n) = the number of rings of size at most n.
F(n) = the number of fields of size at most n.
Γ(n) = the number of graphs of size at most n.
P(n) = the number of partial orders of size at most n.
Of course, in each case, I mean the number of isomorphism types of such objects. These particular functions are representative, though of course, there are numerous variations. Basically I am interested in the number of isomorphism classes of any kind of natural finite structure, limited by size. For example, one could modify Γ for various specific kinds of graphs, or modify P for various kinds of partial orders, such as trees, lattices or orders with height or width bounds. And so on. Therefore, please answer with other natural classes of finite structures, but I shall plan to accept the answer for my favored functions above. In many of these other cases, there are easy answers. For example, the number of equivalence relations with n points is the intensely studied partition number of n. The number of Boolean algebras of size at most n is just log2(n), since all finite Boolean algebras are finite power sets.

Kawasaki Ninja ZX 10R 2011 is the latest offering in the Kawasaki's Sportbike line-up. The Ninja ZX 10R features a new traction control system called Sport-Kawasaki Tractrion Control which helps rdiers harness and capitalize on the new ZX-10R's amazing blend of power and responsive handling.
Shedding about 22 pounds over its predecessor, the new ZX-10R aims to offer optimum comfort and control with slightly lower saddle, adjustable footpegs positioned slightly lower and more forward. The MSRP price tag for Ninja ZX 10R 2011 is $13,799. Check it out after the jump
Newer. Faster. Lighter. Better. You hear these descriptors all the time in this business.
Problem is, reality rarely lives up to the hype.
But Kawasaki's new-from-the-ground-up 2011 Ninja® ZX™-10R sportbike has no such credibility gap, going several steps beyond newer, faster, lighter and better by offering the most advanced traction-control system in all of production motorcycling.
Yes, in all of production motorcycling.
Not only are we talking about a complete redesign of the ZX-10R's engine, frame, suspension, bodywork, instrumentation and wheels, but a highly advanced and customizable electronic system that helps riders harness and capitalize on the new ZX-10R's amazing blend of power and responsive handling. The system is called Sport-Kawasaki Traction Control, or S-KTRC. It represents a whole new dimension in motorcycle performance, and the ZX-10R is the only production sport bike that can take you there.
Motorcyclists have forever been challenged by traction-related issues, whether on dirt, street or track. Riders that can keep a rear tire from spinning excessively or sliding unpredictably are both faster and safer, a tough combination to beat on the racetrack. And when talking about the absolute leading edge of open-class sport bike technology, where production street bikes are actually more capable than full-on race bikes from just a couple years ago, more consistent traction and enhanced confidence is a major plus.
The MotoGP-derived S-KTRC system works by crunching numbers from a variety of parameters and sensors – wheel speed and slip, engine rpm, throttle position, acceleration, etc. There's more data gathering and analysis going on here than on any other Kawasaki in history, and it's all in the name of helping racers inch closer to the elusive "edge" of maximum traction than ever before. The S-KTRC system relies on complex software buried in the new ZX-10R's Electronic Control Unit (ECU), the only additional hardware is the lightweight speed sensors located on each wheel.
Unlike the KTRC system on Kawasaki's Concours™ 14 ABS sport tourer, which primarily minimizes wheel slip on slick or broken surfaces as a safety feature, the S-KTRC system is designed to maximize performance by using complex analysis to predict when traction conditions are about to become unfavorable. By quickly, but subtly reducing power just before the amount of slippage exceeds the optimal traction zone, the system – which processes every data point 200 times per second – maintains the optimum level of tire grip to maximize forward motion. The result is significantly better lap times and enhanced rider confidence –exactly what one needs when piloting a machine of this caliber.
The S-KTRC system offers three different modes of operation, which riders can select according to surface conditions, rider preference and skill level: Level 1 for max-grip track use, Level 2 for intermediate use, and Level 3 for slippery conditions. An LCD graph in the newly designed instrument cluster displays how much electronic intervention is occurring in real time and a thumb switch on the left handlebar pod allows simple, on-the-go mode changes.
The system also incorporates an advanced Power Mode system that allows riders to choose the amount of power – and the character of delivery – available from the engine. Besides the standard Full-power mode are Medium and Low settings. In Medium mode, performance varies according to throttle position and engine rpm; at anything less than 50 percent throttle opening, performance is essentially the same as in Low mode; at more than 50 percent, riders can access additional engine performance. All three S-KTRC settings are available in each of the three Power Mode settings.
And the motorcycle so capably managed by all of this trick electronic wizardry? It's completely redesigned from 2010 to '11.
It all starts with the 10R's all-new inline-four, easily the most advanced engine to ever emerge from a Kawasaki factory. Like last year's potent ZX-10R engine, the new powerplant is a 16-valve, DOHC, liquid-cooled inline-four displacing 998cc via 76 x 55mm bore and stroke dimensions. But that's where the similarity stops, as the new mill boasts a handful of engineering changes designed to optimize power delivery, center of gravity and actual engine placement within the chassis.
A primary goal of Kawasaki engineers was linear power delivery and engine manageability throughout all elements of a corner: the entry, getting back to neutral throttle at mid-corner, and heady, controllable acceleration at the exit. Peak torque was moved to a higher rpm range, which eliminates the power peaks and valleys that make it difficult for racers and track-day riders to open the throttle with confidence.
Larger intake valves (31mm vs. 30mm), wider– and polished – intake ports, and completely revised exhaust porting all allow better breathing, more controllable power delivery and less engine braking, just the thing to smooth those racetrack corner entries and exits. Higher-lift camshafts built from lighter-yet-stronger chromoly steel (instead of cast iron) and featuring revised overlap further contribute to optimized engine braking and more controllable power delivery. Newly designed lightweight pistons feature shorter skirts and mount to lighter and stronger connecting rods, each of which spin a revised crankshaft made of a harder material and featuring stronger pins and journal fillets. Compression moves to a full 13.0:1.
There's more, including a totally revamped crankshaft/transmission shaft layout that contributes to a higher center of mass – and improved handling via better mass centralization – by locating the crankshaft approximately 10 degrees higher relative to the output shaft. There's even a secondary engine balancer assembly this year, which allows a number of vibration-damping parts to be simplified, contributing to weight savings. A smaller and dramatically lighter battery helps drop even more weight, as does a lighter ECU and fuel pump.
A race-style cassette transmission allows simple trackside ratio changes and offers a host of improvements for 2011. These include closer spacing for 4th, 5th and 6th gears and the fine-tuning of the primary and final reduction ratios for less squat/lift during acceleration and deceleration, which allows more precise suspension tuning in back. An adjustable back-torque limiting clutch assembly is fitted, which allows worry-free downshifts and an even higher level of corner-entry calmness.
Cramming all that fuel and air into this amazing new engine is a ram air-assisted fuel injection system featuring larger throttle bodies (47 vs. 43mm) and sub-throttle valves, a larger-capacity airbox (9 vs. 8 liters), secondary injectors that improve top-end power characteristics, and a large, redesigned ram-air intake that's positioned closer to the front of the bike for more efficient airbox filling and increased power.
The final piece of the ZX-10R's power-production formula is a race-spec exhaust system featuring a titanium header assembly, hydroformed collectors, a large-volume pre-chamber containing two catalyzers and a highly compact silencer. Due to the header's race-spec design, riders and racers looking for more closed-course performance need only replace the slip-on muffler assembly.
With the engine producing a massive quantity of usable and controllable power, engineers looked to the chassis to help refine handling and overall road/track competency even further. An all-new aluminum twin-spar frame was designed, an all-cast assemblage of just seven pieces that features optimized flex characteristics for ideal rider feedback, cornering performance and lighter weight than last year's cage. Fewer pieces mean fewer welds, which contributes to a cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing look. Like the frame, the new alloy swingarm is an all-cast assembly, with idealized rigidity matching that of the frame itself.
Chassis geometry was juggled to offer the best possible stability and handling quickness. Rake, at 25 degrees, is a half-degree steeper than on the 2010 machine, while trail has been reduced from 110 to 107mm. This slightly more radical front end geometry, and the quicker, lighter handling it allows, was made possible largely by the new engine's more controllable power, engine placement and the CG differences it generated, and the frame and swingarm's newfound flex characteristics.
Highly advanced suspension at both ends helped as well. Up front is a 43mm open-class version of the Big Piston Fork (BPF) found on last year's comparo-dominating Ninja ZX-6R. Featuring a piston design nearly twice the size of a conventional cartridge fork, the BPF offers smoother action, less stiction, lighter overall weight and enhanced damping performance on the compression and rebound circuits. This added compliance results in more control and feedback for the rider – just what you need when carving through a rippled sweeper at your local track or negotiating a decreasing-radius corner on your favorite backroad.
There's big suspension news in back, too. Replacing the vertical Uni-Trak® system of the 2010 ZX-10R is a Horizontal Back-Link suspension design that positions the shock and linkage above the swingarm. Benefits include better mass centralization, improved road holding, compliance and stability, smoother action in the mid-stroke (even with firmer settings), better overall feedback and cooler running. The design also frees space previously taken by the linkage assembly below the swingarm, space now used for the exhaust pre-chamber, which allows a shorter muffler and, again, better mass centralization. The fully adjustable shock features a piggyback reservoir and dual-range (low- and high-speed) compression damping.
All-new gravity-cast three-spoke wheels are significantly lighter than the hoops fitted to the 2010 bike. Up front, Tokico radial-mount calipers grasp 310mm petal discs and a 220mm disc is squeezed by a lightweight single-piston caliper in back. The result is powerful, responsive braking plenty of rider feedback.
Finally, Kawasaki engineers wrapped all this new technology in bodywork as advanced and stylish as anything on this side of a MotoGP grid. Shapes are more curved than edged this year, and the contrasting colored and black parts create a sharp, aggressive image. Line-beam headlights enable the fairing to be made shorter, while LED turn signals are integrated into the mirror assemblies and convenient turn-signal couplers allow easy mirror removal for track-day use. The rear fender assembly holding the rear signal stalks and license plate frame is also easily removable for track days. High-visibility LED lamps are also used for the taillight and position marker.
Instrumentation is totally new as well, the unit highlighted by an LED-backlit bar-graph tachometer set above a multi-featured LCD info screen with numerous sections and data panels. A wide range of information is presented, including vehicle speed, odometer, dual trip meters, fuel consumption, Power Mode and S-KTRC level, low fuel, water temperature and much more. For track use, the LCD display can be set to "race" mode which moves the gear display to the center of the screen.
The new ZX-10R's ergonomics have been fine tuned for optimum comfort and control, with a slightly lower saddle, adjustable footpegs positioned slightly lower and more forward relative to last year, and clip-ons with a bit less downward angle. This is a hard-core sportbike you can actually take on an extended sport ride – and still be reasonably comfortable doing so. And because it's 22 pounds lighter than last year's bike, the new ZX-10R will be quicker and more nimble in any environment you choose to ride it in.
The old saying, "power is nothing without control" is certainly apt where open-class sport bikes are concerned. But when you factor in all the engine, chassis and ergonomic control designed into the 2011 Ninja ZX-10R, you begin to realize you're looking at one very special motorcycle – one that can take you places you've never been before.
Newer. Faster. Lighter. And better. Reality really does match the hype.

An additional 8000 Labor members will be given a say on the party's next leader under changes to rules governing the direct election experiment to be passed on Monday.
Fairfax Media understands that a requirement that a rank-and-file member have two years' membership to cast a vote for leader will be eased - most likely to 12 months.
A figure from Labor's Left said: ''I can confidently predict the franchise will be relaxed.''
If the bar is dropped to 12 months' membership, up to 8000 more votes will decide the 50 per cent rank and file component of the election, with a total of about 40,000 expected to take part.
The matter will be dealt with by a meeting of Labor's national executive on Monday.
It is understood that both camps behind leadership contenders Bill Shorten and Anthony Albanese favour broadening the voting base.
It has been assumed that Mr Albanese from the Left will have the majority of support among the rank and file but both factions have been active in recruiting new members since reviews into party democracy held after the failures of state Labor governments in NSW, Queensland and Victoria.
It has also been suggested that Mr Shorten will comfortably win the caucus component of the vote based on the dominance of the Right but party sources said the final result when a ballot is held in a month will be more complex.
''There is the factional overlay but there is also the Rudd versus Gillard overlay and the NSW versus Victoria overlay,'' said a source.
Mr Albanese was a strong backer of Kevin Rudd while Mr Shorten was seen as a key pillar of support for Julia Gillard's prime ministership until he switched camps and effectively handed the leadership back to Mr Rudd in June.
Elements of the Victorian branch of Labor, led by Stephen Conroy, have fought against expanding party democracy while NSW Labor unanimously backs direct elections.
Mr Shorten said he and Mr Albanese had agreed the ballot winner should remain leader until the next election, due in 2016.
''We've got to conduct these next 28 days civilly, and that once the verdict's over, that's it, and we get behind each other for the next three years,'' Mr Shorten told Seven's Weekend Sunrise.
Mr Albanese said the ALP would decide whether debates were just for members or for the broader public, but he suggested a business lunch at which the candidates could take questions.
''The great thing about a ballot of 40,000 people is that no one knows,'' Mr Albanese told Sky News. ''You can't have three or four people in a room or in a restaurant deciding the future of the Labor Party. I think that brings with it enormous legitimacy.''
Mr Albanese said the leadership vote would be a matter of ''different emphasis'' rather than major policy clashes with Mr Shorten.
The Coalition's incoming foreign affairs minister Julie Bishop said the new Labor leadership rules appeared to be ''a recipe for more division''.

When certain bands come to town I am forced not to not to photograph them because of something in the industry known as a rights grabber. A rights grabber is a contract that is normally handed to you right before you obtain your photo pass at a show that you are forced to sign in order to get your photo pass and be able to photograph the event.
Sometimes these contracts are harmless and state things like you will only use the photos for editorial uses and not for anything commercial. Which I am totally fine with like most concert photographers are, because we are in the business of licensing photos for editorial uses to music mags, websites, papers, etc. We are here to help promote that artist and get their name out as many places and outlets that we can. Publicity is the name of the game for concert photographers.
Publicity is the main reason why we are allowed to receive photo passes to get the access that we do to photograph all the amazing artists that we do. We rub their backs by having photos and stories published of them to promote their bands and tours and they rub ours back by allowing us to photograph them in exchange. In the world of concert photography we are very limited to access as it is, the norm is that we only get the first three songs of the show to photograph without use of any flash. With some bigger acts sometimes we have to stand all the way back at the soundboard to photograph the artist and we are not allowed close access up front in the pit. All of the limitations should be no problems for a professional. Sometimes we get crazy restrictions (first 30 seconds, only shoot from one side, etc) but I wont bother to get into that as that is a totally different topic for discussion.
The main point that you need to know is that we get access to photograph artists in exchange for getting their bands publicity.
Then comes acts like Lady Gaga that recently appeared with a "rights grabber" contract in order to photograph her. In the past there was no contract for her and there were no problems. However Lady Gaga is not the first act to have such terrible contracts, she just got a lot of news lately mainly because she is a higher profile artist.
Artists such as Janet Jackson, Beastie Boys, Jimmy Eat World, Foo Fighters, My Chemical Romance, Stone Temple Pilots, KISS, Janes Addiction, Gogol Bordello, Steven Seagall, MGMT, Queens of the Stone Age, Cheap Trick,The Mars Volta, Matchbox 20, AFI, Sonic Youth, and many more have all felt the need to have rights grabbers. Some of these acts still have them while some have decided to change for the better on their policies.
There are two main types of rights grabbers out there at the moment, there are the full blown rights grabbers where artist owns all rights to your photos and then there are ones that state artists are allowed to you any of your photos for whatever they want without payment. Both types are totally unacceptable and a slap in the face to any photographer. I mean how would the artist feel if just by playing a venue they had to give up rights to their songs to that venue?
Why are rights grabbers bad in general?
When there are rights grabbers it basically means that any photo that the photographer takes at a show, they no longer own them anymore and have no rights to use them in the future in any way. They are no longer the photographers photos. Which means it takes away their rights to license the photo editorially for any publications that
wish to use a photo of a artist for a story in the future preventing extra publicity for that artist. Not only do you not own your photos anymore, it also gives the artist or the management the rights to use the photographers photos for whatever they wish, whether it be to promote the band or for commercial uses such as t-shirts, cd covers, box sets, posters, etc. To add insult to injury most of these rights grabbers make you waive your moral rights also, which means when they use your photos that you no longer own, they do not even have to give you credit for using them. So in the future when you see the photo that you taken on posters, the bands websites or cd covers, it most likely will not have your name on it. So you have nothing to show for your work because legally they do not even have to credit you not to mention they do not have to pay you for using them also.
Most concert photographers make peanuts to cover a show, they depend on owning rights for licensing their photos to editorials and publications in the future to make ends meat. With rights grabbers this is not possible for them to to license their photos anymore for editorial uses.
Why are there rights grabbers in the first place?
A lot of concert photographers notice that a lot of the above listed artists are represented by the New York publicity firm Nasty Little Man. When Steve Martin who owns the firm, was asked about the contracts, he said that those stipulations are up to the bands and their managers. and stated "In my experience it often comes from artists who've been stuck having to pay a ton for a shot they want for a box set, merch, etc. and that having the parameters set for such transactions in a legal document can keep that from happening in the future."
Another reason that I was told by various managements was that it was there to protect the artists image so that the photos are not used for unethical uses such as tabloids, etc. They also mention that it was no big deal and if the bands ever wanted your photos they would still pay you to license them, even though legally they don't have to and they already own them.
So basically, Steve is saying because one, two, or many bands had to pay a premium for good photography in the past for merch that they are forced to enforce the rights grabbers. I do not know specifics about these bands paying a ton for a photo for box sets, etc., or if it ever really happened at all or if its just a cop out that the management tells the band to scare them into using a rights grabber so that management can get free photos in the future. I do know however that if I asked all the bands they probably would not have a clue what I was talking about when I tell them about the rights grabber and why I was told that it was being used. I am not saying that it never happened, maybe the "ton" that was paid for that photo on a box set was really just a manager getting mad because the photographer refused to let the band use a free photo. Or maybe he was really asking for a million. Like I said, I never heard any specifics on the story to prove that it ever really happened and no one will ever fess up details about it. All in all this is no reason to go overboard and punish all the working professionals over one photographers actions.
Some photographers personally think that this excuse is a cop out used by managements in order to get free photos. Then again I personally know some photographers that have been paid for a photo usage of photos that they did not own because they signed the rights grabber. As stated above that some bands will still pay you for the usage even with the rights grabbers, which really just defies the point of the grabber in first place.
I have personally asked bands about these contracts when they had one, half the time the band has no idea about them and are oblivious to the fact that they exist. As for the bands that are aware of them, they normally tell me what management has told them, that its there to protect their images from being used unethically, whether the management does not want their photos on the wire, or tabloids, etc. But when you tell them what the contract is really saying and how it takes photographers rights they normally are shocked and or appalled about the issue. The sad part is that even when they are made aware of it, it never changes most likely due to management decisions are final.
As for the excuse that these contracts are around just to protect the artists image from the photos being used the wrong way. Which seems to be the main reason that these contracts really exist. This is the most ass backwards thinking that could ever exists. Their reasoning is that if they own all rights to the photos, then they will not get used in anyway without their permission. Well they are right on that, but that only applies to professional photographers that play by the rules. But what they fail to realize is that the problem with photos ending up in the wrong places will always exist, with rights grabbers or no rights grabbers.
The rights grabbers are not really doing any thing to prevent the problem. Why is that you ask? Well the problem does not lie in the professional photographers, it lies in the unprofessional ones, and the fans that bring cameras into shows. Most of the photos of artists that are put into bad light, sent to tabloids, and used in unethical ways are from fan photos from the crowd or the non professional photographers that will sign any contract handed to them because they plan on selling and using the photos unethically in the first place. With these people contracts do not stop them from doing what they are going to do in the first place. The only thing that will is better control on who gets passes or letting cameras into venues.
There is a big problem in the process of getting credentialed for photo passes. You will see anything in the pit these days from professional shooters, point and shoot cameras, to people with cell phone cameras. It is sad but true I must say when you are a professional trying to work when you see someone standing next to you with a photo pass and a camera phone taking photos.
But the major problem is the unprofessional photographers. When they are given a rights grabbing contract, they will take the contract and sign it and shoot. After the shoot, they will sell the photos to whoever is paying, unethical or not. They do not care about that rights grabber that they signed, they are going to do what they want to do.
Then you have a professional photographer, who is actually there working for a publication that is going to get the band some major publicity. They get the rights grabber, but have to refuse to sign it, and in return they do not get to photograph the show because of it. Why did they refuse to sign it? Because professionals actually play by the rules, and with those set of rules, it does not allow them to use the photos ever again. Not to mention that sometimes the company they are shooting for wont allow them to sign it because the company owns all rights to photos that they shoot because they are work for hire, the photographer actually has no legal ability to sign the contract cause they give their rights to the company they are shooting for and that company wont allow them to give up their rights thus killing any publicity. This is the case for most photographers that work for newspapers, they do not own their rights in the first place the paper does, so when they get these agreements, it just means that story that was going to run in the paper wont happen. Then there are the normal freelancers that will refuse to sign it out of ethics. Which again kills any publicity.
If by chance a professional is allowed to sign it, they sign, and they forfeit their rights to the photos and only get to use them for what they are shooting for and get paid from that company for the one time use of the photos. Then they can never use the photos again because they sign their rights away and no longer own them. They just photographed the show because they needed money to pay bills.
So if rights grabbers are around because of photos being used unethically, then they have to realize that they are not solving the problem by enforcing them and all it is doing is creating more problems because of it.
So here is where I am going to list the pros and cons of rights grabbers on the music industry side.
Pros : Bands / Management get free use of photos for whatever
they want without having to credit or pay photographers.
Cons: No newspapers will cover bands with grabbers.
Most professional photographers will not sign them thus
leaving amateur shooters taking less quality photos.
Unprofessional photographers will still use photos for the
wrong reasons because they sign and shoot without
reading contracts.
Less Professional Publicity is received.
Now you have to ask, do the pros out weigh the cons? In these days free photos are worth their weight in gold I assume.
Solutions to the problem?
There are alternative ways to make both parties happy but the voice of photographers is too small to make a difference in the big music industry as this has been the case for years as these contracts have gotten more and more out of control. The ideal contract would be none at all and many big artists have realized this, and they normally play by the rule that any publicity is good. Some artists that do not have any contracts at all include acts such as Madonna, Elton John, U2, etc. etc. etc. Now if these big artists do not need rights grabbers, then why does any artist. It really makes you think about other motives for them.
So it comes down to managements saying that rights grabbers exist for these reasons but the wording in the contracts say noting about the reasons they say they are for in the first place. If these contracts were truly being used for these for the reasons that were stated the wording would read different. For example, if they were worried about paying too much to license a photo, the contract could say that you agree to license photos to the band at a fair market value if they want them. Or it would say you agree to only use the photos editorially. But managements refuse to change the wording because they know that the way they have it worded means free photos.
But if there has to be a contract, it should only state that the photographer will only use the photos editorially and not commercially without artist prior consent. Although this still will not prevent the non professionals from doing bad things with the photos. You have to realize that it is going to happen despite any precautions one takes rights grabbers or not.
If one wanted to take precautions for such they should be looking into a better process on screening photographers that apply for credentials and have better security measures at shows and fans bringing cameras in. By doing this it would probably stop a lot of the misuse from happening in the first place.
If the bands are worried about getting ripped off for licensing photos down the line, why not find a photo from the 1000 of other photographers out there that are willing to be fair with licensing, or if they really wanted that particular photo they could get it by other means. I can not say that I do not know one photographer that would pass up on licensing a photo to a band for a lower rate if not free, if that band gave the photographer unlimited photo access to their next event. Money is not the only thing we accept, we are able to barter. Then again, there will always be that one photographer who has a stick up their butt and trys to rip a band off. But that is life, there are always going to be bad apples out there.
If you are management, the real question you should be asking before deciding on having a rights grabber is should you be punishing all professional photographers for the actions of one or a few bad ones? Concert photographers are hard working artists that do this out of the love of the art and not in it for the money as most of us have multiple jobs on the side just to support us being able to pay for camera gear, gas, time, to get to the shows to support you, the artist, by giving you free publicity. The thinking that putting these rights grabbers out will prevent anything mention above is ridiculous thinking.
Why did I write this in depth article on rights grabbers when it comes to concert photography?
The main reason is that I want to make the world aware on this plague that our small community has to put up with on a daily basis and hopefully will make some higher ups in the industry realize what they are doing is not only evil, and wrong but it robs photographers of their art and lively hood. It also prevents the higher quality publicity that bands deserve and for what? To save a few dollars from that one mystery photographer ripping a mystery band off on a photo for their box set.
Also I am personally getting fed up lately of all the concerts that I have had to turn down because of these contracts, while I see unprofessional photographers still shooting them because they do not abide by these contracts, while the professionals sit out and miss the shows. Preventing professionals from using their own photos while the unprofessional photographers are using them in any way despite signing the contracts has to end.
The industry has this notion that concert photographers are making a ton of money off of their artists and are exploiting them, but what they do not realize is that 99.9% of professional concert photographers have to have multiple jobs just to keep doing what they love. Its what we put all of our passion into, and that is making their artists look good while getting them the most publicity that they can receive at the same time.
who am I?
I vow to remain anonymous do to the nature of this industry because if someone disagrees with something that I said above then I would most likely be blacklisted from photographing certain concerts. I personally have been professionally been photographing artists for over ten years and supplying many photos to publications worldwide. I have been doing this out of the love for concert photography and I live off of my paycheck week to week from my part time job not photography. I am well known in this industry and I can barely afford to keep my camera gear running with the money I make from concerts. I will stay in the game as long as I can.

Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone's first UFC title fight ended in fantastic fashion. Just not in the way he wanted.
In a December lightweight championship match against Rafael dos Anjos, the Denver native lost by technical knockout 66 seconds into the bout. Cerrone said Thursday that he didn't take much from the fight.
"It sucked," he said in a telephone interview. "It was a 12-second ass whooping."
But true to his nickname, Cerrone (28-7) jumped back on the horse and took a match just two months removed from his last. After spending his entire career in the 155-pound division, he will make his debut in the 170-pound welterweight class Sunday against Alex "Cowboy" Oliveira (13-3) at UFC Fight Night 83 in Pittsburgh.
"Oh yeah. The training's the same, but definitely the diet was way better," Cerrone said.
It will be a chance at redemption for the fighter who won eight-consecutive fights prior to the loss. The streak dated back to November 2013.
Cerrone said he planned to wear the same patch on his trunks that was fined for in his last match. It had violated the UFC's outfitting policy. He sewed an American flag patch onto the right leg of his trunks, something he cut out from a pair of Muay Thai shorts. He said he's had the patch ever since his first fight.
As for whether he will stay in the welterweight division or move back to 155 after the fight, he said it doesn't matter. He will fight whoever the UFC puts in front of him — as long as the number is big.
"(I'll fight) as many as I can get (this year). Twenty," he joked.
Footnotes. Another Denver fighter will have a chance to prove himself on Sunday. Middleweight Chris Camozzi (22-10) will take on journeyman Joe Riggs (41-16) on the main card. Camozzi, 29, won his last match in August and three of his last four since losing four straight. … Denver's Brandon Thatch (11-3) will face Siyar Bahadurzada (21-6-1) at UFC 196 on March 5. … Coming off her win over Paige VanZant, UFC No. 3-ranked strawweight Rose Namajunas will fight undefeated Tecia Torres (7-0) April 16 on the UFC Fight Night card.
The official weigh-in for Bellator MMA's Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie takes place at 4 p.m. Thursday in Houston.
Bellator is broadcasting the full event live via YouTube.
The card is headlined with a pair of legends in Ken Shamrock and Royce Gracie fighting each other for the first time since 1995.
The card will be begin broadcast at 7 p.m. Friday on Spike.
UFC released the Holly Holm-Ronda Rousey fight for free on YouTube on Monday. Holm defeated Rousey via knockout in the second round on Nov. 14, 2015 in Australia.
In an interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Rousey said she had thoughts of suicide after the loss.
The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am is one PGA Tour event that players and celebrities look forward to each season, if for no other reason than to see what crazy clothes Bill Murray is wearing. Pebble Beach is known for its great weather, breathtaking views and sandy beaches. It is located on the Monterey Peninsula in Monterey County, Calif.
There were a number of great stories at this year's AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Vaughn Taylor, who lost his game over the years, rallied on Sunday to win for the first time in a decade. With his win, the one-time Ryder Cup player punched his ticket to the Masters.
Earlier in the week during a practice round, Jordan Spieth, the No. 1 golfer in the world had a great moment with his caddie Michael Greller.
Greller, stepped to the tee box on the stunning par-3 seventh hole, and hit a full on shank. Spieth's reaction to the shot is priceless: Afer Greller's chili pepper, you can hear Spieth and the rest of the group laughing as Greller walks back to the bag.

The self-proclaimed "baddest man on the planet" is headed back to the ring.
Mixed martial artist Joe Warren, who resides in Monument, will face Darrion Caldwell as the headline match at Bellator 151 on March 4 at WinStar World Casino & Resort in Thackerville, Okla.
The 39-year-old Warren (13-4) is coming off a unanimous decision win against L.C. Davis in September. It was his first bout since losing the Bellator bantamweight belt to Marcos Galvao last March.
"He's just a body in front of me right now," Warren said of Davis in a September interview with The Post, "and I'm trying to get my belt back and he's the guy standing in front of me."
In Caldwell (8-0), the 5-foot-3 Warren faces a much taller opponent (5-10) with a strong wrestling background — he was the 2009 NCAA national champion at 149 pounds for North Carolina State. Warren is no slouch, however, having won the 2006 FILA Wrestling World Championships Senior Greco-Roman 60-kilogram (132 pounds) gold medal.
A victory would certainly place either fighter as a possible candidate to take on the winner of the Eduardo Dantas-Marcos Galvao bout — which takes place Feb. 26 at Bellator 150 — for the bantamweight title.
The official weigh-in for Ultimate Fighting Championship's UFC Fight Night takes place at 2 p.m. Friday in Orlando, Fla.
UFC is broadcasting the full event live via YouTube.
The card is headlined with champion Rafael dos Anjos taking on No. 2-ranked and Denver's own Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone" for the UFC lightweight title.
The main card will be broadcast at 6 p.m. Saturday on Fox. The prelim card is on Fox Sports 1 starting at 3 p.m. Read more…
Colorado native Michelle Waterson will not be fighting at UFC 194 after suffering an injury during training.
Waterson (13-4), ranked No. 11 in the UFC in the women's strawweight division, was slated to face No. 5 Tecia Torres (6-0) on the card. Torres will face Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger (6-1) instead, UFC announced Friday.
"Thank you everybody for wishing me a speedy recovery, I'm getting better each day and hope to have some good news very soon," Waterson posted on Instagram.
Colorado shined in the Octogon Saturday as Neil Magny and Henry Cejudo both won at UFC Fight Night 78 in Monterrey, Mexico.
Cejudo, a 2008 Olympic wrestling gold medalist, won a split-decision victory over Jussier Formiga to improve to 10-0. After the fight, the No. 5-ranked Cejudo made it clear that he wanted a shot at UFC flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson.
"I'm a really good matchup for Demetrious Johnson next," Cejudo said in a post-match interview with UFC.com. "I'm a wrestler and I know how to defend his takedowns. When the time comes, I'll be ready. I deserve it."
The No. 13-ranked welterweight Magny, who picked up the fight on two weeks notice, also claimed a split-decision win, beating No. 15 Kelvin Gastelum. Magny improved to 16-5, earning his fourth victory of 2015.
Magny has been on a relentless pace in the ring, fighting in a UFC-high 10 bouts since the start of 2014 with a record of 9-1.
"The end goal is to get to a championship. What happens between here and there I have no idea what it's going to be like, but I'm just going to try and embrace the challenges day in and day out," Magny said in an interview with The Post before the fight. "It would've been great if I were to have won eight in a row and gotten a title shot, but … if that means I have to win three, four, five more times — I don't know what the number is going to be — but I'm just going to constantly train and improve my skill set and keep getting better.
"And when the UFC presents to me a chance to fight for the title, I'll be ready."
Furniture Row Racing driver Martin Truex Jr. will join Justin Bieber on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" Tuesday night.
The 35-year-old Truex — along with other NASCAR Sprint Cup finalists Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch — will appear on the show in a racing contest of sorts with Fallon and other guests, according to DMF Communications.
Truex advanced to the Sprint Cup Championship after a shortened race last Sunday at the rain-soaked Phoenix International Raceway. The champion will be decided Sunday at the Ford EcoBoost 400 in Homestead, Fla.
The official weigh-in for Ultimate Fighting Championship's UFC 193 takes place at 5 p.m. Friday in Australia.
UFC is broadcasting the full event live via YouTube.
The card is headlined with champion Ronda Rousey taking on No. 7-ranked Holly Holm for the UFC women's bantamweight title.
The main card will be broadcast at 8 p.m. Saturday on pay-per-view. The prelim card is on Fox Sports 1 starting at 6 p.m.
Ultimate Fighting Championship has evolved and grown the sport of mixed martial arts over its 22-year history. UFC 193 takes place Saturday, pitting Ronda Rousey against Holly Holm in its main event, but did you know that the promotion's beginnings have roots in Denver?
UFC 1 took place on Nov. 12, 1993 in front of 7,800 people at McNichols Sports Arena. It was an eight-man tournament with no weight classes and two simple rules: No eye-gouging and no biting. Participants of different fighting backgrounds entered to see what style was best.

From the get-go, it was unlike anything anyone had seen before. Teila Tuli, an incredibly large sumo wrestler, faced Gerard Gordeau, an expert in savate (or French kickboxing), to open the card. Tuli bum-rushed Gordeau but momentum caused him to fall forward to the ground. Gordeau, seeing an opportunity, wound back and executed a roundhouse kick to Tuli's face, knocking out one of the bigger man's teeth.
It was brutal.
It took nearly a year to get the rematch between Bobby Lashley and James Thompson finalized but less than a minute to determine the outcome.
The 39-year-old Lashley, who owns American Top Team Altitude in Aurora, needed just 54 seconds to beat Thompson via technical knockout by punches Friday at Bellator 145 in St. Louis.
Lashley opened the bout by attempting a single-leg takedown that tore Thompson's hamstring. With the larger Thompson on the ground, Lashley proceeded to pummel his opponent before the referee called the match. Read more…
Brandon Rios returns to the ring Saturday for the first time since dismantling Denver's Mike Alvarado in a January title bout at Broomfield. And he'll do it against an apparently remade Tim Bradley.
Bradley brought in former Mike Tyson coach and Cus D'Amato charge Teddy Atlas to train him for the first time. Atlas, an ESPN boxing color commentator, took on a coaching job for the first time since 2011. Bradley was looking for a change of pace after winning the vacant WBO welterweight title earlier this year.
Rios (33-2-1, 24 knockouts) roundly defeated Alvarado with a third-round stoppage — after he stalked the Denver brawler, pounding him up close, then knocking him down in the third.
After nearly a year of injuries delayed the bout between Bobby Lashley and James Thompson, the two MMA fighters will finally meet Friday.
Thompson (20-14) will face-off against Lashley (13-2), who runs American Top Team Altitude in Aurora, on the main card of Bellator 145 in St. Louis, Mo.
Lashley, 39, is on a six-match winning streak since losing to Thompson in a controversial decision in May 2012. He talked with The Denver Post in a phone interview about taking on Thompson, a rumored bout with Kimbo Slice in the future, and challenging for the Bellator heavyweight title. Read more…
The WWE really likes giving out world championship belts.
On Monday, Triple H sent out a picture of a WWE Heavyweight Championship belt with specialized Kansas City Royals plates attached.

Denver's Rose Namajunas will face Paige VanZant in the main event at UFC Fight Night 80 on Dec. 10 in Las Vegas, UFC president Dana White announced Wednesday on Twitter.
Namajunas (3-2), ranked No. 6 in the UFC women's strawweight division, replaces No. 6 VanZant's original opponent, No. 8 Joanne Calderwood. Calderwood suffered an injury during training, according to Fox Sports.
Namajunas won her last bout on Oct. 3, winning via technical submission over Angela Hill at UFC 192. The 23-year-old was part of history at The Ultimate Fighter 20 Finale when she lost to Carla Esparza for the inaugural UFC Strawweight Championship.

After injuries delayed Bobby Lashley and James Thompson's rematch in February — and again in June — the two MMA heavyweights will finally meet after more than three years.
Lashley (13-2), who runs American Top Team Altitude in Aurora, and Thompson (20-14) will face-off on the main card of Bellator 145 on Nov. 6 in St. Louis, Mo.
Revenge is certainly a theme for Lashley as Thompson dealt him his last loss in an MMA ring in May 2012. Since then, Lashley has rattled off six straight victories.
WATCH: Bobby Lashley on going from WWE to MMA
"A lot of people who watched the fight, a lot of people who were there, were completely shocked that they gave him the victory because after the fight," Lashley said in a June interview with The Post. "I went home, I was fine and he stayed in the hospital. I cracked his orbital bone. And I beat him up pretty bad."
Lashley had said in June that he was not going to let the match go a decision as it did in their previous bout.
"It all goes back to that saying, if you leave in the hands of the judges, that's when that kind of outcome that can possibly happen," he said. "… I'm going to finish him right away."
The main card for Bellator 145 will air live on Spike beginning at 9 p.m. Nov. 6.

We noted with a bit of amusement on Friday that actress Mila Kunis said she was getting more into investing, and planning to hold less cash.
In his latest Up & Down Wall Street column, Barron's Randal Forsyth says signs are popping up all over the place.
In addition to Kunis, Greenspan was also on TV yesterday:
Now, with the Dow at a record, the Maestro declares stocks to be "undervalued," an assertion that might be open to reasonable debate. It does, however, reflect the increasingly ebullient sentiment becoming more pervasive not only among the financial elite, such as the former Fed chairman, but also celebrities far removed from the markets.
And individual investors are getting exuberant too:
Other signs of frothy sentiment also have been bubbling up, notably a jump in bullishness among investment advisory services polled by Investors Intelligence. Bulls increased sharply to 50.0% last week from 44.2%, while outright bears fell to 18.8% from 21.1%, their largest weekly drop in 10 months. Advisors looking for a correction also dwindled to 31.2% from 34.7%. Moreover, the spread between bulls and bears surged to 31.2% from 23.1% in just a week and put it in "the dangerous territory around 30%," Investors Intelligence commented. A wide spread a year ago preceded a market retreat, the service noted.
Other signs that might make you kind of nervous, per the piece. Dow Transports are getting massively extended, and the number of NYSE new highs is actually dwindling, suggesting that the market gains are very concentrated.

Car hire companies in the UK, Short Term Car Insurance For Low Value Cars in Sandton like every other car owner in the United Kingdom are required by law to have insurance for the vehicle covering third party risk. This mean that the vehicle has to have insurance cover for the eventuality that the vehicle is involved in an incident in which third party property is damaged or a person is injured.

The car is likely to have comprehensive insurance included in the rental cost. This covers the cost of repair to the vehicle in the event that it has been damaged.
However, due to the insurance costs incurred by the car hire company, they normally try to offset their costs by having an insurance excess or deductible on their policy. The excess amount could be in the region of GBP 600.00 and could be more if the vehicle is a premium type car, Short Term Car Hire Insurance like a sports car.

The hirer should make a point of contacting the car rental company to establish what the exact of cost of damage was in case they are entitled to a refund.
Short Term Car Insurance For Low Value Cars in Sandton ?
In Florida, the car insurance requirements are as follows: $10,000 for personal injury protection, also known as PIP, and $10,000 for property damage liability, also known as PDL.
Floridians are not alone when it comes to having state-imposed car insurance requirements. All states in America require minimum car insurance requirement. While some people choose to satisfy these car insurance requirements by purchasing their policy through an insurance company, other people choose to be "self-insured," or to put down a bond that will cover the amount of the car insurance requirements. How you choose to show proof that you have met your state's car insurance requirements is up to the state.
