Treveon Graham is like a volcano — he's just waiting to erupt. Would be shocked if he doesn't lead VCU in scoring.
— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) October 24, 2012
RICHMOND, Va. – It's been a while since a VCU sophomore received the type of preseason pub Treveon Graham is getting these days. Luke Winn of Sports Illustrated labeled Graham the No. 1 sophomore breakout threat in the country. Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports Network, in addition to his volcanic musings, wrote that Graham was likely to emerge as the "go-to scorer" of this year's team; one that is of top-25 quality, according to many national writers.
Don't expect VCU coach Shaka Smart to be the guy to pump the brakes on those expectations. He's even willing to go a step further.
"I've always had extremely high expectations for Tre," Smart, entering his fourth year with the Rams, said. "When we recruited him, I told him I felt like he could be the all-time leading scorer at VCU. He might have thought that was just a recruiting line, but I really meant that."
Eric Maynor set the school scoring record with 1,953 points from 2005-09, which means Graham is just 1,701 short of VCU immortality. But it wasn't until Maynor's sophomore season in 2006-07 that his career took off. That season, he averaged 13.9 points per game and led the Rams to a conference championship and a first round upset of Duke in the NCAA Tournament. He followed with seasons of 17.9 points and 22.4 points per game as a junior and senior, respectively. Graham would be okay with a similar career arc.
A 6-foot-5 swingman, Graham will likely fill the role vacated by Bradford Burgess, who led the Rams in scoring (13.4 ppg) and intangibles last year. A rugged scorer, Graham can knock down 3-pointers, but is most comfortable driving to the paint and absorbing contact.
After a 1-of-16 shooting slump to start the year – "nerves", Graham says – the Washington, D.C. native recovered to average 7.0 points in 16.7 minutes per game. He also drew a team-high 6.0 fouls per 40 minutes last season. Everyone, from Shaka Smart to the janitors at the Siegel Center, expects those numbers to go up this year, and that's fine by Graham. He says Smart's talk of chasing Maynor didn't bother him. Instead of chalking it up to recruiting-speak, Graham says Smart's confidence empowered him.

DISPLAY PROFILING With both easy and advanced modes for LCD and Laptop displays, you'll master the color jungle in a snap. Easy mode has predetermined selections, so you don't need to be a color expert. For those looking for more control over whitepoint, contrast, brightness or ambient measurements, choose the advanced mode. And the DDC auto detect control will quickly determine if your monitor is compliant. If so, the software will perform all advanced calibrations automatically, and deliver a high quality profile. The ColorMunki can calibrate multiple displays with ease and provides before and after visualization, as well as calibration reminder prompts.
PRINTER PROFILING Complete color control and optimized printer profiling makes sure that the color you see on your display is the color that you get on your print. New RGB and CMYK printer profiling technology delivers a high quality printer profile. Scan one test chart of only 50 patches (takes less than one minute!), and the ColorMunki calculates an interim profile, having learned how your printer behaves with these colors. It then produces a second chart of 50 patches that perfects your profile once you scan it. And, best of all, the ColorMunki software talks to your photo and design applications and automates the printer profile setting!
PROJECTOR PROFILING The ColorMunki technology will give you fast and accurate projector profiles so you can show your images on the big screen with confidence!
COMMUNICATE EFFORTLESSLY Drag and drop the images you want to transport to someone else into DigitalPouch, "zip" it up and send. The receiver doesn't need to own ColorMunki software. They'll be able to view the images with your embedded profiles in a replicated viewing screen. DigitalPouch checks recipients' monitors for an up-to-date profile and displays warning messages when necessary
CONTROL YOUR CREATIONS Put control of your image library at your fingertips and automatically extract colors from any image. Go directly into any image and drag any color you can see to create a custom color palette. With PrintSafe, you can preview your color palettes under different lighting sources or evaluate printing processes for out of gamut colors before you go to production. When you are ready to use your custom palette, automatically synchronize it to Adobe® Photoshop®, InDesign® or QuarkXpress® or import into any of your other favorite photo and design applications.

Centre of Excellence for Indigenous Mineral Development set up
Ottawa will pump more than $3.4 million into Manitoulin Island to establish a Centre of Excellence for Indigenous Mineral Development.
The goal of the Centre for Indigenous Mineral Development is to enhance the participation of the Indigenous people in the mines industry, as well as to assist industry and government through information sharing and best practice protocols with Indigenous engagement, federal officials said in a release Tuesday.
Access to information will help employers and prospective employees fill or secure jobs, and facilitate networking and business development opportunities.
The FedNor funding will support five initiatives that, among other things, will enable Waubetek Business Development Corporation to establish and operate a Centre of Excellence for Indigenous Mineral Development for four years.
Other funding recipients include LaCloche and Manitoulin Business Assistance Corporation, Sheshegwaning First Nation and March of Dimes Canada.
In addition to mining, the money will support the aquaculture and business sectors on the island.
Paul Lefebvre, Sudbury MPP, made the announcement on behalf of Navdeep Bains, minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development, and Minister responsible for FedNor.
"I am proud that our government is supporting Indigenous communities and local entrepreneurs in their efforts to strengthen the economy," Lefebvre said. "These investments will not only help address gaps in the workforce and barriers to growth, it will also boost business development in Northern Ontario, creating jobs that will benefit the Manitoulin region."
Martin Bayer, chair of the Waubetek Business Development Corporation, said First Nation leaders in the northeast asked the corporation in 2015 to develop a mining strategy.
The intent was to "help ensure meaningful engagement, build capacity and create much needed employment for our First Nation people and help foster more Indigenous businesses opportunities in the mining industry. The strategy was developed through engagement sessions with our community rights holders.
"Our First Nations' primary interest is to ensure that we are adequately consulted when it comes to mining and exploration within our traditional territories and to ensure that we have more opportunities to participate in the benefits that might come from this development in a sustainable way, including meaningful jobs, business opportunities, joint management and care of the lands on which these projects operate.
Bayer said leaders hope a centre of excellence "would help our communities build capacity and advance our interests and build a clearinghouse of industry information about things like leading practices and processes that are needed by our First Nations. We are grateful that FedNor also sees the benefits of helping to establish a Centre of Excellence for Indigenous Minerals Development."
Ottawa's Prosperity and Growth Strategy for Northern Ontario outlines the Government of Canada's approach to ensure the region can fully benefit from the national Innovation and Skills Plan. It is focused on three key economic development areas: supporting innovation; growing companies; and building stronger communities.
The funding announced Monday is provided through FedNor's Community Futures and Northern Ontario Development Programs, which support projects that promote sustainable community economic development, enhance business development and growth, and facilitate innovation.

Todd Rundgren
Photo: Mark Sullivan/WireImage.com
Hello, It's Todd Rundgren
Acclaimed producer/songwriter Todd Rundgren was the featured guest for a recent installment of the GRAMMY Museum's An Evening With series. In an intimate interview setting, Rundgren discussed his musical influences, his tenure in the psychedelic rock band the Nazz and his work as a producer/engineer, among other topics. Following the interview, Rundgren performed a brief set, including "I Don't Want To Tie You Down," from his 1973 solo album A Wizard, A True Star, and "Bang The Drum All Day," from 1983's The Ever Popular Tortured Artist Effect.
"My very first professional gig was as a blues guitar player when I got out of high school," said Rundgren. "I was playing a mishmash of blues, Beatles and Yardbirds [songs]."
Born in Upper Darby, Pa., Rundgren landed his first professional gig as the guitarist for the Philadelphia-based blues band Woody's Truck Stop. He then formed the Nazz with bassist Carson Von Osten in 1967. A year later, the Nazz released their self-titled debut album featuring 10 songs, a majority of which were penned by Rundgren. Rundgren departed the band to focus on a solo career, releasing his debut album, Runt, under the guise of the band Runt, in 1970. Rundgren earned his renown as a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer with 1972's Something/Anything? peaking at No. 29 on the Billboard 200 and featuring the Top 10 hit "Hello It's Me," one of his five songs to crack the Top 40. ("Hello It's Me" was originally recorded on the Nazz's debut album.) In 1974 Rundgren formed the progressive rock band Utopia, a project he continued to record with into the mid-'80s. As a producer, Rundgren's résumé includes work with artists such as Patti Smith, Cheap Trick, Grand Funk Railroad, Hall & Oates, and Meat Loaf's 1977 album Bat Out Of Hell, which peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard 200 and has sold more than 14 million copies.
Released in April, Rundgren's latest solo album, Todd Rundgren's Johnson, is a tribute to the legendary bluesman Robert Johnson. The album features 12 interpretations of Johnson's songs, including blues classics such as "Sweet Home Chicago," "Love In Vain" and "Crossroad Blues."
Upcoming GRAMMY Museum events include An Evening With Dave Alvin (Sept. 19), The Drop: Johnny Gil (Sept. 20), Spotlight: Matthew Morrison (Sept. 24), and An Evening With Blind Boys Of Alabama (Sept. 28).

Understanding Facebook's new privacy policy
Facebook has made some changes to what it calls its "data use policy," which is essentially the same as its privacy policy. The company has also added a "Facebook Terms and Policies" hub that serves as a central landing page for all of Facebook's policies, including a link to its Data Use Policy. Facebook also published an "Explanation of changes," and posted a track changes document that shows the changes with additions and deleted text highlighted in red. The company's data use policy document has little light bulbs to highlight important points that it thinks people need to pay attention to.
Mostly minor changes
Most of the changes are fairly minor and some are designed to provide extra information per an agreement between Facebook and the Irish Data Protection Commission.
For example, the company added language that states exactly what information about users is always made public such as name, profile picture and cover photo, networks you're part of and your user name and ID. It also says that "your age range, locale (or language) and gender can also be made public. Some of that public information, such as your profile picture, can be deleted from your timeline."
Showing ads on other sites
The company previously stated it we might place ads on other sites but clarified that those those "may or may not include social context (such as whether your friends have "liked" a particular business)." What this means is that it's possible that if you "Like" something on Facebook that information could appear in an ad on another site, just as it can now appear on Facebook. It's important to know that clicking a "Like" button is making a public statement.
The company clarified that it can retain data about you "for as long as necessary to provide services to users and others," and that inlcudes information from advertisers.
In its explanation on data use, the company makes it clear that you can control the audience for everything you post on the service, each time you post.
There is also a clear explanation of what data Facebook recives about its users. This includes every time you look at another person's profile, send a message, search for a friend or click on an ad. They also can receive metadata associated with what up upload such as the time and location of where a photo was taken. And, of course, they receive data from the device you're using such as your IP address or your GPS coordinates from a mobile device.
Facebook acknowledged that it sometimes gets data from advertising partners, customers and other third parties "that helps us (or them) deliver ads.
Apps and third party websites
The company now says that "If an app wants additional information, they must get your permission. If you do this, the app can access, store and update that information," but "Once you haven't used the app for a while, however, that app won't be able to continue updating this additional information until you give it permission again." But they have added a tip " to remind you that apps have their own policies around how they handle the data they receive and that you should contact an app directly if you want your information deleted."
Facebook says that when you use the "login with Facebook" option in apps or other sites that it will "scramble your email address and then instruct the other website to scramble it in the same way." That allows Facebook to identify it's you without having to send your email address to the other site.
Targeted ads but not shared information
Facebook says that it doesn't share information with advertisers but it does target ads based on who you are. So, you could see an ad that's targeted to your gender, age-range, where you live or even who your friends are but Facebook is delivering that ad — the advertiser is not given that information.
What you let them share
Facebook, its advertisers and its app developers may share information about you if you allow them to through permissions that you're asked to check when you install apps which is why it's important to pay attention to those permissions and know how to change them which you can do from the Ads, Apps and Websites section of your Privacy Settings page.
For more, see this on News.com, this AP story and this on TechCrunch.

"Hokey Cokey's" popularity transcends national boundaries!
Looking back at your time away on a project can be all the more memorable when it culminates in something which you help mould and create. Volunteers Holly Brown, Erin O'Quinn, Jessica Wood, and Lucy Beaumont did just that and as a result are leaving Senegal with even more than their fair share of amazing moments to reflect on.
Their time was always put to excellent use as they worked at a Children's Day Care Centre in Saint Louis. The centre is popular with local children and parents alike but is run, administered and the 40 odd young children all cared for one man of seemingly limitless energy known as Ton Ton Johnny.
However, their crowning achievement was to prepare all the children for a spectacular fete just recently topped off with a rendition of the Hokey Cokey in English! The event it has to be said owes so much to the girls' unwavering oomph and zest. Ton Ton Johnny was impressed and left (almost!) speechless as were the many parents who came along to watch their sons' and daughters' progress on the day.
Lucy reflected that during the afternoon of the fete Ton Johnny disappeared, 'only to return half an hour later with a huge sound system, a DJ, and a horse and cart to transport the whole thing through the lake that has formed around the school! We then danced for about an hour, which was lots and lots of fun. The most tear-jerking moment was when Penda and Matar's [two students] Dad spoke… He said he was so proud that his children were coming home speaking English and he couldn't believe what a difference we had made in a month. It was so lovely!'.
The girls explained that the success of their projects was making things fun for the children as many were very young perhaps only 4 or 5 years old. This is where the idea for the singing and dancing routine for the 'Hokey Cokey' was born which instantly achieved 'classic' status.
It goes without saying that the girls did a fantastic job. However, they would be the first to say that as their project shows, with a little bit of get-up-and-go and enthusiasm you too could help make a difference to some young children. If you did, you will find yourself more than rewarded not least in terms of happy memories.

6-24-11 PNC Park
The Red Sox were in town, bringing their well traveled fan base into PNC Park.
I got to the park early, and waited at the gate until I saw the Pirates pitchers begin to take batting practice.
When it got underway, I headed down to the Riverwalk and searched through the weeds, just in case either team took early batting practice.
There was nothing. And no luck on the Riverwalk today.
When the gates opened, there were already seven people in the bleachers with guest passes, so the Easter Eggs were long gone.
In about the first minute of batting practice, I caught a home run on the fly in section 136. Here I am labeling it:
My second ball also came during the first five minutes, and it was a glove trick ball. After adjusting the band twice, I reeled it in.
The Pirates only hit until 5:06, which is a growing trend this year. They've been ending between 5:03-5:06 lately.
During the Boston Red Sox first group, which featured a bunch of lefties, I was able to snag an Adrian Gonzalez ground rules double in the left field corner.
It bounced into the first row in the aisle where I picked it up.
Then BP slowed way down.
There were intermittent rain showers:
And a lot of standing around, while Red Sox lefties took their cuts.
(We are confined to left field until 5:30)
At 5:30, I went over into center field. Can you find me in the picture below?
I narrowly missed catching a David Ortiz home run, but it was just over my head and landed a few rows back.
For the last group of Red Sox batters, I stood on the Clemente Wall in right field, where I caught a home run on the fly. I was checking the rooftops below the wall for baseballs (which occasionally there are. Its rare, but it happens), when I caught the track of a fly ball. I was just re-entering the seats, and ran to my left and made a snag on the move. I caught it in front of the guy in the black shirt:
Amy and I left right after batting practice.
Here are today's baseballs:
Sweet spots:
Game: 4 balls (3 hit, 1 device)
Season: 244 balls (96 hit, 53 thrown, 60 device, 26 found)
Games: 42 games
Average: 5.81 balls per game

Vernon Brewer, first graduate, encourages outreach — to the ends of the earth
Liberty University's biannual Global Focus Week continued in Wednesday's Convocation with Vernon Brewer, Liberty's first graduate and founder of World Help. He challenged students to become actively involved in reaching the world for Christ, reminding them, "the Great Commission is not an impossible mission."
Brewer, a regular speaker in Convocation, earned his Bachelor of Science from Liberty in 1973. He served as Liberty's dean of students and the vice president of Student Development before founding World Help in 1991.
|This video from World Help shows how Liberty University has partnered with the organization to meet the physical and spiritual needs of hurting people throughout the world.
"I think it's a testament to what this university is all about that our first graduate has started a humanitarian relief organization that gives away tens of millions of dollars' worth of aid every year to people in need," Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. said, introducing Brewer to students.
Liberty has partnered with World Help and sponsors several projects worldwide, including ones in Zimbabwe, the Horn of Africa, and Rwanda. Brewer thanked Liberty for its support and showed a video of the practical ways Liberty's funds, volunteering, activism, and mission trips have made a direct impact.
Brewer gave alarming statistics and examples of human suffering in India and in Syria, where he arrived from his most recent trip abroad. He said 70,000 people die every day without every hearing the Gospel and it is the responsibility of Christians to share the message.
"Our impact is to be both locally and globally, simultaneously, to the needs of the earth, to the end of the age," Brewer said. "In other words, Jesus is commanding us to go to every distinct ethnic group on the face of the earth and make disciples, Christ followers. He wants everyone to have the opportunity to hear the Gospel at least once in their lifetime."
Brewer said that the reason Global Focus Week exists at Liberty is because of the famous last words of Jesus Christ found in Acts 1:8: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
"This was the plan of God from the beginning of mankind," Brewer said. "This was why Jesus came to earth. This was why He performed the miracles and died on the cross. It was the most important thing He wanted them to remember."
The theme for this semester's Global Focus Week is "Make your Degree Global," showing Liberty students how they can use their talents, gifts, and passions in every area of study to share the Gospel.
"This university was founded on a vision that Dr. Jerry Falwell (Sr.) had to raise up Champions for Christ in every single area of academic discipline. He had a vision to empower a generation of students to be strategically positioned to share the Gospel with the world," Brewer said. "I was one of those students. I caught Jerry Falwell's vision. The reason you are sitting here this morning is because of Jerry Falwell's vision. I pray today, that you would catch that vision also."
Brewer urged students to make a difference today.
"We desperately need everyone on the front lines in every profession and on every corner of the globe. Don't be afraid to pursue the passion and the calling God has uniquely given you."

University of Maryland murder-suicide (2)
Police say UM murder-suicide suspect may have been mentally ill
College Park officials question how student had access to firearm
Prince George's police say a University of Maryland, College Park student believed to have killed one roommate and then himself Tuesday morning was mentally ill, and College Park and area officials question how a student with alleged mental illness legally purchased firearms.
Dayvon Maurice Green, 23, of College Park is suspected of killing roommate Stephen Alex Rane, 22, of Silver Spring and non-fatally shooting another student roommate outside their rental home in the 8700 block of 36th Avenue before turning the 9 mm handgun on himself in the backyard, according to police.
Police said Green had been suffering from a mental illness for the past year and was on medication, though they would not say specifically what type of illness or medication.
College Park Mayor Andy Fellows said the City Council will work with the university to see if the incident was preventable and questioned why Green had possession of weapons.
"I don't know how that student had access to that weapon. I wonder how a person who's clearly disturbed had access to a gun," he said. "We need to come up with a comprehensive way of approaching access to guns and mental illness. I'm really saddened by it."
"I wonder how a person who's clearly disturbed had access to a gun."
Police said they did not find a suicide letter or any premeditated plans, but found a bag of weapons next to Green's body when they responded to the shooting around 1 a.m.
Inside the bag, detectives found a machete, baseball bat, a loaded semi-automatic Uzi and rounds of ammunition, police said. Next to Green's body was also the 9 mm police say was the murder-suicide weapon.
County police said their investigation shows that Green legally purchased the 9 mm in Baltimore County in 2012. The second firearm, .22 caliber semi-automatic rifle Uzi was also bought legally from a gun store in Silver Spring on Jan. 18, according to police.
Rane was found in front of the house and Green was found in the backyard of their house, according to county police.
Police said early investigation indicates that Green set several small fires in the basement and backyard of the single-family home where the three UM students were roommates.
Julie Parker, a county police spokeswoman, said the two victims were awoken by the fires and left the home with Green to escape. Parker said the three agreed to find ways to put out the flames when one student noticed Green pull a handgun from his waistband and start shooting.
Green then shot the student as he was running away for help and shot Rane several times in front of the home. Rane, a UM undergraduate, was taken to a hospital where he died while the student who survived suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was in surgery Tuesday afternoon, police said.
His identity has not been released other than him being a 22-year-old undergraduate student at UM.
Green was previously an undergraduate at Morgan State University and most recently a graduate student at UM studying engineering.
Blood stains were seen on the pavement outside the roommates' home Tuesday morning.
Frank Keeler, 60, lives several houses away from the scene and said his wife heard gunshots overnight.
"They were trying to save this guy's life like all get out. They had his shirt ripped open and were tending to CPR," Keeler said.
Many neighbors were unanimous in saying there were 10 shots fired.
"This is definitely out of line with stuff that's been going on. There have been a lot of armed robberies lately, but this just isn't in line with that. It's like a freak event," said Paul Rowe, 22, a senior at the university who lives across the street from the scene.
UM Police Chief David Mitchell said there had been five armed robberies in College Park in the last two weeks, but none appear to be related to Tuesday's shooting.
Other UM students living on 36th Avenue said they had never met the roommates involved, but they appeared to be "pretty friendly guys."
Maj. Marc Limansky, a UM police spokesman, said the neighborhood where the shooting took place is off campus but the houses are occupied by a mixture of students and long-term residents and university police are hoping to gain jurisdiction of the area, which is currently only patrolled by county police.
University Police Chief David Mitchell said there were no known indications that Green was a threat to others, though he did say as police investigate they may discover signs.
"The lesson here is that it's a God-awful tragedy involving a man with a bright future," Mitchell said. "Today is a day for prayer, tomorrow is a day for action."
Prince George's County Councilman Eric Olson (D-Dist. 3) of College Park said he expects the circumstances of the incident to play a part in the countywide and statewide debate over gun control.
"Obviously, any offense with a gun is horrendous and any murder is horrendous," Olson said. "I'm sure this will become a part of the [gun control] debate. It's hard to imagine it wouldn't."
UM President Wallace Loh said he was not previously aware of Green's medical condition and did not know of any previous incidents on- or off-campus involving Green. He said he is focused on offering condolences to the family and grieving with the campus community.
"This is a tragedy. This is a great tragedy for the university and for the entire community," he said in front of the 36 Avenue home Tuesday afternoon. "This is one of the most horrific things that can happen in a learning community."
A memorial service for the deceased students is set for 7 p.m. today at the University of Maryland Memorial Chapel.

Famous walkers trot across new tome's pages
Bilderback spins tales of blackmail, train crashes, billboard menace
Ken and Kris Bilderbacks latest book recounts sensational murder trials; a visit to Forest Grove from a United States President; accusations of blackmail and bribery against Pacific Universitys president; killer cows, deadly train crashes and so many other fascinating details of local history since white settlers first appeared that youd never expect the most riveting chapter focuses on sewage.
Ken Bilderback will talk about the sewage saga and other historical fun facts during his free 6 p.m. talk next Wednesday, April 30, in the Forest Grove City Library and will donate $5 to Friends of the Forest Grove Library for every book sold at the event.
Walking to Forest Grove: The Life and Times of the Prettiest Town in Oregon brings to life all those dusty old names: the Marsh of Pacific Universitys Marsh Hall, Harvey Clarke and Joseph Gale elementary schools, David Hill Road, Joseph Gaston, Col. Thomas Cornelius and more.
The book starts with two of the most famous walks to Forest Grove, including that of the only sitting U.S. President ever to visit the city: Rutherford B. Hayes.
As an Oregonian reporter recounted in 1880, the president and his entourage were taking the train to Forest Grove from Portland when a damaged trestle over Dairy Creek forced Hayes, his wife, son and the rest of the presidential party to disembark. They scrambled down the ravine through thick brush and weeds, crossing the creek and continuing on foot, singing songs to keep up their spirits, until they stopped two miles later, exhausted and hungry.
A group of Civil War veterans travelling with the President formed a foraging party and found an orchard, where they picked apples for a Presidential snack, Bilderback writes. By now hastily assembled railroad crews had repaired the trestle, and the train was able to cross and catch up to the hikers. After a brief stop in Cornelius the train arrived in Forest Grove to be met by a fleet of carriages.
Hayes visited with a friend who had served with him in the Civil War and shook hands with students from the Indian School started by Tabitha Brown.
Brown, who started both the Indian School and the Tualatin Academy (which became Pacific University), was the other famous walker.
Those who know her pivotal role in Forest Grove history might be surprised to learn the 66-year-olds trip west from Missouri nearly ended in disaster.
For a savvy, educated woman, Brown made a surprisingly bad travel decision and wound up lost, hungry, freezing and stranded in the Sierra Nevada until her son came down from Forest Grove and rescued her.
Other chapters explore transportation problems; beautification efforts; devastating fires; newspaper rivalry; war stories from local veterans; Prohibition; and sensational murders, including a fatally stabbed victim who stumbled into a local newspaper office with just enough life left to name the murderer.
The edge-of-your-seat sewage story starts with the sickness and death of children who played each summer in the citys stinky but cool drainage ditches.
It follows an exasperating series of delays, missteps and incompetence (every other word of this chapter seems to be lawsuit), including a dramatic fish kill in 1949, when thousands of dead fish the length of the Tualatin River were traced to Forest Grove.
Bilderback occasionally seems to wander off track. (Why are we reading about deer-hunting and Seventh-day Adventists in the middle of the sewage saga? What about the dying children?) But he usually finds his way back to his subject with an explanation for the diversion.
And he does a nice job of tying local events to larger societal changes, such as the disappearance of a classless agrarian society and the rise of the industrial revolution, with its continual tensions between workers and company owners.
For that and for the story behind why free-roaming cows were soon subject to arrest its a book well worth reading.

South Africa bat out for draw in first Test against Australia
Australia is known for being positive in going for an outright victory and they left no stone unturned to achieve so. Yet, the time on hand was way too less for them to force one. The question South Africa need to answer though is, what if that day was not washed out?
South Africa staved off Australia's push for an unlikely victory to bat out for a draw in the first Gabba Test on Tuesday, though the home team could take heart from having the better of the encounter.
The top-ranked South Africans lost five wickets and effectively were six down with injured JP Duminy unable to bat, but the Australians frustrated by calls going against them could not make further inroads.
At the close after trailing by 115 runs on the first innings, South Africa were 166 for five with AB de Villiers not out 29 and Vernon Philander not out one.
The draw ensured that Australia retained their unbeaten record at the Brisbane ground which stretches back to the West Indies' victory in 1988.
The teams head to Adelaide for next week's second match of the three-Test series all square, but with Australia shading the opening match and having the world's best team under pressure on the final day of their showdown.
"At the end of the day there's no result in this Test match," Australia skipper Michael Clarke said.
"We have to win this series to get back to being the number one Test team in the world, so we have to do our best to push for a win at every opportunity."
The Aussies have now not lost in their last eight Tests under Clarke, while the Proteas, under Graeme Smith, have not lost an away Test match since India at Calcutta in February, 2010.
"There's enough time to reflect and to get one or two things right for Adelaide," Smith said.
"I felt we were ahead of the game going into day four, 40 for three, we just never quite backed up well enough on day four.
"All in all, I think a draw was an even reflection on how the surface played for both teams."
Clarke was named man-of-the-match for his third double-century of the year, his unbeaten 259 which turned the match away from the Proteas over the closing two days.
South Africa lost Alviro Petersen (5), Smith (23) and Hashim Amla (38) before tea, but Jacques Kallis and de Villiers restored stability and held up the Australian assault.
Kallis was out one short of his half-century when Clarke took a splendid one-handed catch at slip off spinner Nathan Lyon in the 49th over.
Jacques Rudolph survived a vociferous lbw appeal off Siddle before he had scored but umpire Billy Bowden was unmoved amid the excited Australian fielders, but he ultimately went lbw to Lyon for 11 heading into the final hour.
Australia earlier declared their first innings at 565 for five with a lead of 115 in the hope of grabbing early wickets to force an improbable victory on a bat-friendly pitch.
Petersen fell before lunch and tempers boiled over as Australia's bowlers sought a big breakthrough in the middle session before Smith went after a fiery over from James Pattinson.
The young firebrand worked over the Proteas skipper before getting a thick edge to Rob Quiney in the gully as he attempted to drive outside off-stump.
Amla survived a second review on 20 after Pattinson appealed for a catch behind and Peter Siddle thought he had his wicket on 28.
But the Australians were unable to seek a review because they had run out of referrals and umpire Asad Rauf had words with a fired-up Siddle after a short sharp exchange with Amla.
Spinner Lyon proved expensive early, going for 26 runs off his two overs before he was removed from the attack.
But Siddle finally got Amla's wicket when he hit firmly to Michael Hussey in the covers for 38, leaving his team 102 for three.
Clarke declared Australia's innings when he was unbeaten on 259 with wicketkeeper Matthew Wade 19 not out.
Clarke eclipsed England's Alastair Cook's 235 not out two years ago as the highest individual score at the Gabba. Don Bradman hit 226 at the ground in 1931.
Australia went after quick runs before the declaration. Hussey had a nervy spell before clinching his 17th Test century and was out for 100 on the next ball he faced from Morne Morkel.

Deadspin has the poop:
Both players got unsportsmanlike conduct majors, and game misconducts; their nights were done. As they skated back to their respective locker rooms, a still-furious Nguyen hurled one of [Dave] Bermingham's gloves over the glass into an empty section of seats. ...The Red Sox and Yankees are going to have to crank the rivalry up a notch or two. Maybe this is how Punto can do something productive.
Just after the second period began, Nguyen emerged from his locker room and went into the seats near where he had thrown Bermingham's glove. Teammates thought Nguyen was going to see his girlfriend, who had come to watch him play. Soon after, he went down to the corner of the arena, a semi-secluded area near where the Zamboni enters the ice. Young Guns players on the bench saw him squatting there, but didn't think anything of it at the time. He then returned the glove to its original spot in the seats.
Midway through the second period, Bermingham came out of his locker room. He had showered and changed and was ready to crack open a beer but needed to collect the last of his scattered equipment. Those gloves were nearly new: this was the second game he had worn them, and the price tag was still on. Bermie went into the seats where it had landed, picked it up, and put his hand in. ...
The referees immediately declared the game a forfeit win for the Young Guns. At a league meeting the next Monday morning, the NESHL banned Nguyen for life, with no refund on his entry fee.

My wish came true !!!http://bandwmag.com/color/color.html
While not (probably) up to the reproduction quality of Lenswork, a new magazine for "fine art" color may come out with in a few months. I picked up a copy (#65, March 2009) of B&W. It is aimmed at collectors of B&W photos.On page 17 is an ad for "Color", which appears to their new "fine art" color publication.Also:http://www.bandwmag.com/color/color.html
Easy there, Rob. I had a half-page ad in issue #4 of Color and I have another in the current one -- issue #5. I'm not entirely happy with the magazine either, but it's a startup. It takes time for something like this to bloom. I like Lens Work, but I can't see that it's any better than B&W. The reproductions are better, but small. I do like Brooks Jensen's writing, though.
RussMy opinion was about B&W - I have never seen the colour one and don't miss the original B&W, which isn't any startup any longer, though you were probably referring to the colour one. That you advertise in it sort of underlines my point - that's really what these mags are about: the publisher making money from photographers' dreams. And why ever not? If one can't indulge a dream, then it's a sad day.I hope you get some return from the space - I have abandoned my attempt at a website for a host of personal reasons, not least amongst them being that I have concluded that there is a distinct possibility that my muse has long gone and ain't comin' back no mow! In other words, I have become disenchanted with so many old images, reworked from Kodachrome or not, and have serious doubt about whether there's any juice left in the tank after all with which to power new ones. Only time will tell, and that's a commodity I probably can't afford to waste, is time.Rob C
Color magazine could be improved for sure.One thing that I notice is odd is that most of the people who have featured articles, also have advertising. I'm not sure which is the chicken, and which is the egg, but it leaves a potential ethics question unanswered.It is more oriented towards collectors, than to photographers. I originally started reading to gain a better understanding of what collectors saw in a photograph (besides $$$).I'm not a huge fan of the photoshop heavy featured artists. There are many other magazines that cover digital artwork, and most of these are so heavily altered they go into the bin of "compositions". To me it just dilutes the magazine. HDR is arguably a digital photographic technique. Dozens of photographs, cut out layer by layer, and then composited into one image is no longer photography. (Digital art?)
Michelson, I know at least one guy who advertises in B&W and who also has had featured articles in the magazine. In his case I'm sure there's no correlation and no ethical problem. I also know that I regularly submit to B&W and Color contests and advertise intermittently, yet I haven't won a feature article in either magazine. Which brings me to your second point -- the heavy use of composites and "photographs" corrupted with Photoshop. I suspect the reason I've never had a feature article is that I simply refuse to do that kind of crap.
Another thing to remember here is that when B&W started they wouldn't even consider digital images of any sort. In that sense, they were collector-oriented but as you see, they couldn't hold that position because it was the photographers who were buying the magazine in numbers, not the collectors. Disenchant digital snappers and you lose your market. I suppose they did start off with high principles, but ran up against the inevitable truth which is that their market was always going to have to be the photographer, however much they protested otherwise. (A good ploy by which to attract photographers hoping for the inside track, though!) I simply don't believe that such a sizeable collector market can exist. I would love to be wrong there, but I don't think the day will come when that many people really see photography in that light - at least not in the numbers needed to run such a publication.They also wanted to run free of advertising so as not to compromise themselves...Rob C
I'm not implying that I have some inside knowledge, but it just seems iffy to me. It at least leaves the door open to misjudgement: I'm sure that my thought train is not necessarily unique and was the first to notice this correlation. If there truly is no correlation, the magazines should make a point to reinforce this fact.Oh, I found their website: http://www.color-mag.com/
As for galleries, Rob's and Russ' experiences are similar to mine. As I shoot straight b/w landscapes, which is the antithesis to today's post-modern psuedo-photography, my work is not in high demand. Still, I have managed to get a large museum exhibit this past summer and a few gallery commitments for 2010-2011. What I found helps, considerably, is an introduction, be it by mail, email or phone. The art world is very cliquish. If a gallery owner/director thinks others in power positions appreciate the value of your work, you'll have a better chance.And Russ, I tried doing the "take a look at my website" thing, but it fell on deaf ears every, single time. Not sure the art gallery world is ready for that, yet.

UCLA mapping project does back to the future
When Todd Samuel Presner was "drilling down" through the history of Los Angeles, he noticed something unusual in a 1939 map of the city's eastern part.
In contrast to the surrounding areas, the entire Boyle Heights neighborhood was colored in red.
To real estate agents and mortgage lenders, the "redlined" area was a clear signal that this was no place for upstanding citizens to purchase a home or get an easy loan.
The warning signal came from the Home Owners' Loan Corp., a federal agency established as a New Deal benefit and charged with assessing real estate values and rescuing imperiled mortgages.
It was the agency's opinion that Boyle Heights was filled with "subversive racial elements" — meaning Eastern European Jews, Mexicans, Japanese, Greeks, Italians and Slavs — and, therefore, hardly a fit environment in which to raise a family.
The Boyle Heights project is part of a five-year study, "Mapping Jewish Los Angeles," which combines old-fashioned archival research with advanced digital techniques.
Presner, the project head and the Sady and Ludwig Kahn Director of the UCLA Center for Jewish Studies, labels the construct alternatively as digital archaeology, information navigation, hypermedia and time-space documentation.
"We can now truly travel back in history through four-dimensional mapping techniques, which add "time" to the three dimensions of space," he said during an interview in his small campus office, crammed with books and computer equipment.
Presner, 38, is a self-described "techie-humanist," who, besides directing the center, is professor of Germanic Languages and Comparative Literature, and also chairs UCLA's Digital Humanities Program.
Working with teams of scholars and students, he has polished his techniques in the Hypermedia Berlin project, which dug into the city's 800-year history and its interaction between Germans and Jews.
As in the Berlin study, the "Mapping Jewish Los Angeles" project, which started last fall, begins with a thorough research of available documents, photos, oral histories, archives, architectural drawings and maps of the city.
Akin to a stratified archeological grid, layers of maps from different time periods are superimposed on one another, allowing viewers to "drill down" and track changes in structures, roads and landmarks at a specific site.
In the Boyle Heights study, for example, the project team is using five maps, starting in 1884, one of the earliest years in which the name first appeared on a map as a distinct community.
The next map is dated 1939 and includes the distinctive redlined coloring, followed by 1946 (before freeways) and 1986 (after freeways), and, finally, present-day Boyle Heights, as viewed through satellite imaging.
When the mapping is complete, "We will be able to mix and match the past and the present by superimposing, for example, the original Canter's Deli on Brooklyn Avenue (now Cesar Chavez Avenue) in Boyle Heights on the current site and compare it to the one now on Fairfax Avenue," Presner said.
In future months, the project team will travel back to 1850, marking the arrival of Jacob Frankfort, a tailor and the first known Jew to settle in the rough frontier town, who was soon joined by seven other Jewish bachelors, six of them from Germany.
Subsequent explorations will focus on the lives and habitats of Jewish residents in the Fairfax, Pico-Robertson and Westwood areas.
A full-scale exhibition on "Mapping Jewish L.A." is scheduled for May 2013 at the Autry National Center of the American West.
Playing key roles in the mapping project are Mary Enid Pinkerson, community affairs coordinator for the UCLA Jewish Studies Center; Kahn Research Fellow Karen Wilson, who is also the guest curator for the Autry exhibit; and David Wu, program and digital projects coordinator.
Further down the road, Presner hopes to expand his hypercity models to New York, Chicago and San Francisco, and probably to Jaffa and Tel Aviv. Jerusalem, with its almost infinite layers of history, might represent the ultimate drilling-down challenge.
Funds from the estate of Sady and Ludwig Kahn, who came as penniless Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany and made good in Los Angeles, provided the startup moneys for the mapping project and earlier endowed the directorship of the UCLA Center for Jewish Studies.
Most recently, Presner and fellow researchers set their sights on catching history in the making by collecting Twitter feeds transmitted during the Arab Spring uprisings in Egypt and Libya, and by Japanese citizens during the devastating tsunami in March 2011.
Egyptians sent 400,000 tweets during the uprising, of which nearly 10,000 came during the hour in which President Hosni Mubarak announced his resignation. The archive of tweets and more information about the "Mapping Jewish L.A." project can be found online.
The UCLA Center for Jewish Studies was launched in 1994, with professor Arnold Band as the founding director, and has grown steadily under succeeding directors David N. Myers, Kenneth Reinhard and now Presner.
"One of our key goals is to apply Jewish studies to the important questions of the day. We seek to make community engagement and service, linked to a sense of social justice, defining elements of the center," Presner said.
Currently, the center offers about 60 undergraduate and graduate Jewish Studies courses, with 1,875 students enrolled during the 2010-11 academic year.
Presner's winter-quarter course "Between Memory and History: Interviewing Holocaust Survivors in the Digital Age" is another of the program's innovative projects. For it, some 20 undergraduate students of varying ethnic backgrounds meet and interview survivors, then they create audio tours and digital maps of their life journeys for the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust.
Students Patrick Tran and Andy Trang teamed up with survivors Richard and Engelina Billauer to create digital cultural maps pinpointing the major stations along each of the Billauers' paths.
Richard was taken from his native Warsaw to a forced labor camp in Siberia, while Engelina started in Berlin and was sent to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
After the war, the two met in a displaced persons camp in northern Germany, then immigrated to Los Angeles.
The course relies on close cooperation with UCLA Hillel's long-standing "Bearing Witness" initiative, as well as with Jewish Family Service and The 1939 Club.
One of the center's most popular courses, "The Holocaust in Film and Literature," is taught by Presner and has an enrollment of 351 undergraduates.
Presner estimates that more than half of the students taking the class are not Jewish, but, he believes, want to learn more about the Holocaust as a universal message addressing concepts of human rights and the struggles of minority groups.
Other courses focus on language and literature studies in Hebrew, Yiddish and German; history of Judaism; comparative and interfaith approaches to Jewish studies; Jews and cinema; and Italian Jewish history.
For the campus and general communities, the center each year organizes some 70 lectures, conferences and symposia with noted American and international scholars.
