VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis declared on Friday (July 5) that Popes John Paul II and John XXIII will be made saints, elevating the two most decisive popes of the 20th century to the pantheon of Catholic life and worship.
In a sign of the worldwide devotion for John XXIII, known as "Good Pope John," Francis waived the requirement for a second miracle credited to John XXIII's intercession, with the Vatican's spokesman saying, "no one doubts his virtues."
Francis signed off on a decree recognizing the second miracle attributed to the Polish-born John Paul II, who reigned from 1978 to 2005 , and is credited with globalizing the papacy and playing a key role in the downfall of the communist regimes of Eastern Europe.
John XXIII convened the Second Vatican Council (1962-65) that introduced modernizing reforms in the Catholic Church on issues such as religious freedom, democracy and ecumenism.
"The pope has the power to exempt a (sainthood) cause from the second miracle and this is what happened," explained the Vatican's chief spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi.
A first miracle had been recognized when John XXIII was beatified and declared "Blessed," the penultimate step to sainthood, in 2000.
Under normal circumstances, two miracles are needed for sainthood — one to be beatified and a second to be canonized. A miracle is generally a healing from an incurable illness or condition instantaneously, completely and in a way that defies any scientific explanation.
It is not unprecedented in modern times to have a pope waive the second miracle requirement. The last one to do so was John XXIII himself, who in 1960 waived the second-miracle requirement for St. Gregorio Barbarigo, a 17th century Venetian cardinal for whom John XXIII had a particular veneration.
According to Lombardi, the canonization ceremony could be held "within the year." Most speculation has centered on Dec. 8, the feast of the Immaculate Conception and a holy day of obligation for Catholics.
The Vatican didn't give any official details on the second miracle attributed to John Paul II. Italian press reports described the case of a Costa Rican woman who was instantaneously cured of an aneurysm after praying to the Polish pontiff on May 1, 2011, the day of his beatification.
If this is confirmed, John Paul would become a saint faster than any other in the modern history of the Catholic Church, and only eight years after his death in 2005. He would easily best the record set by Opus Dei founder Josemaria Escriva, who was declared a saint in 2002, 27 years after his death.
While John Paul's sainthood had been on fast-track ever since his death, when millions gathered in Rome calling for "Santo Subito!," ("Saint now!"), John's cause had been put on hold for years as the reforms of the Second Vatican Council were called into question by conservatives under Benedict XVI.
Francis unexpectedly decided to accelerate John XXIII's sainthood. "He is loved by Catholics, we are in the 50th anniversary of the Council and moreover no one doubts his virtues," Lombardi explained.
On Friday, Francis also signed off on the beatification of Alvaro del Portillo, the first leader of Opus Dei after the death of Escriva.

Amaro: Phils' goal is 'to add, not to subtract'
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- It took only a few hours Monday for the Domonic Brown speculation to begin.
There are multiple reports at the Winter Meetings that the Phillies are trying to trade Brown, their 26-year-old power-hitting corner outfielder. The Phils are searching for starting pitching, and trading Brown, who cannot become a free agent until 2017, would be one way to accomplish their goal.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- It took only a few hours Monday for the Domonic Brown speculation to begin.
There are multiple reports at the Winter Meetings that the Phillies are trying to trade Brown, their 26-year-old power-hitting corner outfielder. The Phils are searching for starting pitching, and trading Brown, who cannot become a free agent until 2017, would be one way to accomplish their goal.
"We don't comment on rumors," Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said, doing his part to dampen the reports. "Domonic is part of what we're trying to do moving forward. He's a very good young player, and when you have people on your team that teams have interest in, you get rumors. That's part of the process.
"Our goal is to add, not to subtract."
But there is no argument the Phillies need starting pitching. The only three certainties for the 2014 rotation are Cole Hamels, Cliff Lee and Kyle Kendrick, and Kendrick had a 6.45 ERA and shoulder problems the final half of the 2013 season. Philadelphia signed Cuban defector Miguel Gonzalez to a three-year, $12 million contract this summer, but Amaro said Gonzalez is "not a slam dunk" to make the rotation. Gonzalez has not pitched competitively in some time, so at the moment, the only thing the Phils know is what their scouts have told them.
That leaves Jonathan Pettibone and Ethan Martin, who might end up in the bullpen, as the only other starting pitchers on the 40-man roster. Triple-A left-hander Adam Morgan impressed last spring, but he had rotator cuff problems last season. Amaro said there is some long-term concern about Morgan's shoulder, but the organization is hopeful he is past it.
"He does have some rotator cuff changes," Amaro said. "We have to keep an eye on it."
Overall, the Phillies are perilously thin in the rotation. It hurt them last season as Tyler Cloyd, Zach Miner, Raul Valdes and Martin made 23 starts.
Free-agent right-hander Bronson Arroyo said Monday that Philladelphia has expressed interest in him. The Phils have discussed Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka, although Amaro declined to say if they would pay the $20 million posting fee for the right to negotiate with him.
It seems unlikely that the Phillies will pursue Matt Garza or Ervin Santana. Amaro said they never made a run at Doug Fister, who the Tigers traded to the Nationals for infielder Steve Lombardozzi, left-hander Ian Krol and Minor League left-hander Robbie Ray, a trade that most everybody in baseball considers a win for Washington.
"I don't know if we can get that guy," Amaro said, asked if they can acquire a 200-inning starter before Spring Training. "But we're certainly looking to add depth to our rotation. Ideally it would be a No. 2 or 3, or whatever you want to call it. We are more focused on trying to add starting-pitching depth than anything else."
That might mean lesser quality starters, but more of them.
That could work if the Phils find a couple versions of last season's Scott Kazmir. The lefty signed a Minor League contract with the Indians, then went 10-9 with a 4.04 ERA in 29 starts. He recently signed a two-year, $22 million contract with the A's.
"We're exploring a lot of different possibilities," Amaro said.
That is where trade speculation regarding Brown and closer Jonathan Papelbon enters the discussion.
The Phillies have been trying to trade Papelbon since July, so it should be no surprise his name has popped up in the past few days. He is owed $26 million over the next two seasons, plus he has a $13 million vesting option for 2016 based on games finished. It vests if Papelbon finishes 55 games in 2015 or 100 games between the 2014-15 seasons. He has finished at least 53 games each of the past seven seasons.
The salary might not be such an issue, except Papelbon's velocity and strikeout rate have been dropping. Plus, he has expressed his unhappiness with the organization, which might be an issue in the clubhouse.
Amaro defended his $50 million closer.
"We don't comment on those reports," Amaro said. "He's our closer. He's still a very important part of what we are trying to do. … He's been a great influence on the younger guys in our 'pen. Some of the comments he's made, that's Papelbon Speak. He wants to win, just like the rest of those guys, like Hamels, Lee … I think I want to win, too. So does [Phillies manager] Ryne [Sandberg]."
Of course, should the Phillies trade Papelbon, who would be the closer? The Phils almost certainly would have to eat some of Papelbon's remaining salary, but it could allow them to sign somebody else to close. Failing that, they would have to look internally.
And there isn't much there.
Setup man Mike Adams is trying to come back following right shoulder and sports hernia surgeries. He could be ready by Opening Day, but that is not a lock. Amaro mentioned left-handers Antonio Bastardo, who served a 50-game suspension last season for using a performance-enhancing substance, and left-hander Jake Diekman. Amaro also mentioned right-handers Justin De Fratus and B.J. Rosenberg.
"If that's what we have to do, that's what we have to do," Amaro said, speculating on what might happen if Papelbon isn't in the bullpen. "But that's one of the things we're trying to do, too. We're trying to add a little bit of depth in the back end of our bullpen."
Trade Brown? Trade Papelbon? The Phillies are looking into both, but that does not mean either will happen.
Trades have to make sense for both teams involved.
"Trades are not easy to do," Amaro said. "There's a lot of moving parts to any trade. If there is a trade we can make -- or trades we can make -- that'll make our team better, we're not afraid of trying to pursue them."

Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation Offers Empowering Back-to-School Supplies
While most kids are groaning at the idea of back-to-school supplies in mid-July, Lady Gaga and her Born This Way Foundation, which is spearheaded by her adorable mother Cynthia Germanotta, make the idea of paper and pen fun thanks to their limited edition products, which will be sold at Office Depot.
The Foundation's mission is to encourage youth to feel confident about their individuality and what better way to spread that message than with Post-It notes and Sharpies bearing inspiring, empowering phrases?
Some of the custom products include $20 value gift cards with the following messages: "Be Brave," "Be Amazing," "Be Yourself," "Be Kind," "Be Accepting" and "Be Involved." Parents, students and teachers can redeem the cards for back-to-school essentials at Office Depot. After use, the cards can be clipped to backpacks as keepsake mementos, too.
"Kindness Sticks" Post-It notes, limited edition Sharpies and "Bravery Bracelets" with the BTWF logo will boast the same messages as the gift cards.
Cute, right? We bet school-aged little monsters will trade Post-Its and pens.
The products will be sold at Office Depot brick and mortar stores and online. The office supplier will donate 25 percent of the sales of these limited edition items to the BTWF, with a guaranteed $1 million donation this year.
In a statement, Mama G said, "Office Depot is a place that brings together students as well as their families and teachers, who play such an important role in inspiring and supporting today's youth."
We want to scoop up a bunch of these positive Post-Its.
The BTWF is on the right track, baby.

Free backup software from EaseUS
Last week I wrote about the imperative to frequently and constantly back up our hard drives. I referenced the three most important words in computing: Backup, Backup and Backup! I warned about Murphy's first law of computing: "A properly backed up hard drive will never fail, but the first time that you do not have a current backup, it will always fail at the most inopportune time."
Apparently some of you paid attention because I received several e-mails and phone calls from readers asking for specific recommendations, predominantly for free backup software. I tried a few of the free backup utilities, and developed a preference for EaseUS Todo Backup Free 3.0, available for download at www.todo-backup.com. This free backup utility will run on almost all Windows systems, including Windows 2000, XP, Vista, Windows 7 (all 32 & 64 bit systems), with FAT or NTFS file systems, and with RAID or dynamic disks.
EaseUS Todo Backup Free 3.0 is a complete product, offering just about every backup function in a single free utility. This utility can create a hard disk image that can be used to totally restore the contents of a dead hard drive to a new hard drive, allowing the user to be up and running in a matter of minutes. Being in a disaster prone area subject to the whims of hurricanes, tornadoes and brush fires, disaster recovery should be of concern to all users, and this backup software makes fast recovery possible. Viruses, worms, trojans, physical wear and tear, power surges and accidental damage can harm or destroy a hard drive, and this software can be used to recover that data, provided that a backup had been created in a timely fashion. Unlike some other products, EaseUS Todo Backup Free can automatically create and maintain (update) the image file in real time without user intervention. Because of this beneficial feature, the user who has this feature activated will always have a current image backup that can restore the entire hard drive in the event of a catastrophic failure. For those who prefer to schedule backups, they can be run at a predetermined time or scheduled daily, weekly or monthly.
While I frequently create an image file capable of restoring an entire hard drive, including operating system and program files, I mostly create a file backup where my data files are copied. With this feature, data files of all types, including documents, spreadsheets, images, videos, e-mail, music and other data types can be instantly recovered or restored if necessary. If desired, entire folders, along with all of their contents, can automatically be backed up. I cannot count how many times in recent years that I have had to recover files from the backup, which is a great convenience. The EaseUS Todo Backup Free can automatically create and maintain both differential (files that have changed since last backup) and incremental (newer versions or changed files) backups, such that the user does not have to manually create and update backups unless desired.
EaseUS Todo Backup Free makes it very easy to recover from the disastrous loss of data caused by a hard drive failure, provided that a backup had been created. The software can easily create a bootable CD, DVD or USB drive with either a Linux or WinPE operating system (included) that can boot the computer and then run EaseUS Todo Backup utility. Once booted, this utility can read the recovery media and then recreate a hard drive, all with a single click. Typically, following a hard drive failure, the hard drive is replaced. Since the newly installed hard drive is effectively blank, it needs to have an operating system, programs and data reinstalled in order to restore complete functionality. The previously created image file is an exact copy of what was on the original hard drive when the backup was created, so restoring the image to the new hard drive results in a fully functional hard drive complete with operating system, programs and data files. In terms of usability, it is just as if the original hard drive was still functional, but now the computer is running with a new hard drive. If instead of just a hard drive being replaced, other major components are replaced or an entirely new computer is obtained, this software can install the previously created image file on the repaired or new computer, enabling rapid use of all previously installed programs and data. This same process can be followed if the user upgrades a computer with a larger hard drive and then restores the operating system and all program and data files from the image backup. Likewise, the user who purchases a new computer can use this software to install existing programs to a new PC, a process called "migration."While my personal preferences are to create backups to multiple external USB hard drives, and data CD and DVD discs, EaseUS Todo Backup also supports backing up to remote off-premises backup services, network attached storage, FTP to remote servers and almost all other forms of backup media, devices and services. Some users prefer to use a virtual machine (memory resident), and this backup utility supports that option by being able to convert the backup image file to .VMDK (VMware virtual disk format) or .VHD (for Virtual PC ) and then mount into a virtual machine directly. While most users would likely just restore the image to a new hard drive, some users may prefer the virtual machine method.
In terms of security, this software offers several options. Access to the backup, regardless of media used, may be restricted by the use of a password, giving some protection from unauthorized access. For even greater security, 256-bit AES encryption of the backup is available, making it almost impossible for unauthorized users to be able to read the backup files. Sometimes users may want to securely erase all or parts (folders and files) of a hard drive, making it nearly impossible to recover erased files. EaseUS Todo Backup offers a secure "Wipe" function that securely eliminates content from the hard drive.
In experimenting with EaseUS Todo Backup Free 3.0, I found it to be a most comprehensive and complete backup utility that can back up and recover from and to any combination of hardware and systems. In response to my readers who asked for a recommendation for a free backup utility, this may be the one to try.

The Milwaukee Brewers control their own destiny again.
Rickie Weeks hit a three-run homer in the seventh, Seth McClung pitched four scoreless innings in relief and the Brewers rallied to beat the Chicago Cubs 5-1 on Friday night for their fifth straight win and the lead in the NL wild-card race.
With the Mets losing 6-1 to Florida, Milwaukee leads New York by a game with two to play.
The Milwaukee Brewers control their own destiny again.
Rickie Weeks hit a three-run homer in the seventh, Seth McClung pitched four scoreless innings in relief and the Brewers rallied to beat the Chicago Cubs 5-1 on Friday night for their fifth straight win and the lead in the NL wild-card race.
With the Mets losing 6-1 to Florida, Milwaukee leads New York by a game with two to play.
Weeks, who has been relegated to a bench role but replaced Ray Durham after the sixth, drove reliever Chad Gaudin's pitch deep to left field, flipping his bat as his shot cleared the wall to score McClung and Mike Cameron.
The win eliminated the Astros even though Houston beat Atlanta 5-4.
Corey Hart added a two-out run-scoring single in the sixth and Jason Kendall a two-out RBI double in the second to put the Brewers back on top of a race they seemed likely to win at the start of September, when they led the wild-card race by 5 1/2 games.
But Milwaukee dropped 15 of 19 to begin the regular season's final month. Manager Ned Yost was fired and replaced with Dale Sveum, leaving the Brewers in a desperate scramble to reach the postseason for the first time since 1982.
Now Milwaukee is a win away from at least a spot in a play-in game, but the Brewers would have to go on the road in every tiebreaker scenario and would rather just keep beating the Cubs.
They did on Friday night with McClung's stellar work out of the bullpen.
With the game tied at 1 in the sixth, Cubs reliever Sean Marshall (3-5) allowed a leadoff double to Durham and walked Ryan Braun before striking out Prince Fielder. Jeff Samardzija came in and got J.J. Hardy to pop up for the second out, but Hart flared a go-ahead RBI single to left, his second of the game after coming in hitting .172 in September.
In the seventh, backup catcher Koyie Hill was called for catcher's interference during McClung's at-bat. McClung reached second on a balk and moved to third on Cameron's single before Weeks' shot off Gaudin made it 5-1.
The Brewers got yet another victory despite a shaky starting rotation that's held up to every move Sveum's made. The next risk comes Saturday, when All-Star Ben Sheets (sore elbow) starts for the first time since Sept. 17.
Brewers starter Jeff Suppan, 0-3 with a 10.47 ERA in his first four September starts, allowed eight hits and a walk over five innings. McClung (6-6) did the rest, striking out six and retiring 10 of the final 11 Cubs.
Suppan's lone mistake was a belt-high pitch to Jim Edmonds in the second that Edmonds launched in the Brewers' bullpen to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead. But Kendall tied it in the bottom of the second with his RBI double, scoring Hart.
Dempster, who'll start Game 1 of the National League Division Series, threw five innings in his final tuneup before the postseason. He allowed four hits and a walk while striking out four over 80 pitches before being replaced by Marshall. Manager Lou Piniella said Carlos Zambrano, Rich Harden and Ted Lilly would start following Dempster in the playoffs.
The last time these two teams met, the NL Central was up for grabs and the Cubs had a grand time, sweeping the Brewers over four games to end July by a combined score of 31-11.
But the Cubs are under no pressure in this final three-game series, having locked up homefield advantage in the NL. They still played their starting lineup except Mark DeRosa, sidelined with a strained calf.
After Sheets, Milwaukee will send CC Sabathia (10-2, 1.78) to the mound on short rest for the third consecutive time on Sunday if it's necessary to secure a postseason berth.

Seeing the Light
03.19.2013, Chantel Paul
When it comes to curating exhibitions, one of my favorite experiences is working with contemporary photographers. It allows for the interaction I would never be able to have with the masters who have paved the way, like Manuel Alvarez Bravo, Harry Callahan and Ruth Bernard. Towards the end of last year, I had the pleasure of meeting some wonderful photographers for MOPA's upcoming fall exhibition Staking Claim: A California Invitational. One of these photographers has just opened an exhibitoin of new work atRose Gallery in Santa Monica. His name is John Chiara and as a contemporary photographer, he's using one of the oldest forms of equipment to make his incredibly dreamy and powerful images, the camera obscura. And not just any camera obscura, but one large enough for him to crawl inside, cut a piece of paper off a roll, and tape it to the back wall for exposure! Don't believe me? Watch this video from 2006 to see for yourselves how he does it. Photographs like this don't come easy. It's taken Chiara years to perfect his craft and the work has paid off. His work is one more reason to mark to your calendars for the opening of Staking Claim: A California Invitational on October 12th here at MOPA. Until then…enjoy!

February 26, 2010-Unusual Weather
Sailing North in Nice Weather
Wings left Telaga Harbor, Malaysia, heading north, on Feb. 23, bound for Thailand.
A bay on Taratao Island's West Coast was planned to be the first stop and we had good sailing on the way, beating north in a light wind with a full main and the #2 jib. We even engaged the windvane.
The weather, as it often does, changed our plans.
By mid afternoon there was a solid westerly wind blowing which turned the beat into a reach and the planned Taratao landfall had become a lee shore. It was just an afternoon sea breeze, but it seemed strong and the waves were crashing against Taratao's beaches and rocky headlands.
We didn't like the idea of anchoring on a wide open lee shore so we diverted to Koh Bulon which afforded some protection from the west as well as the east. There are virtually no all-weather anchorages in this part of Thailand and the bay at Bulon is too shallow for Wings; we couldn't get very far in. We anchored as best we could under the lee of the point but the wind driven waves came around the point and it was choppy in the anchorage. We were glad to leave the next morning.
Our next day's leg was 44 miles up to the west side of Koh Muk. The weather was calm in the morning but we arrived at Koh Muk in the afternoon under kite in another stiff north westerly wind and the anchorage was again rough. This time we decided to stick it out; Koh Muk was highly regarded by friends of ours and after all, the wind should die off by dark, right? It didn't. Two other boats in the lumpy anchorage weighed just before dark and motored off towards the next island to the west, Koh Kradan. We stayed, as did Big A, Horst Lakit's red C&C and it was not a peaceful night for either yacht. The wind blew until after midnight and the waves were still there in the morning. I wondered how the boats fared at Koh Kradan, which was exposed to the NW. Probably not much better.
The local weather forecasts showed more of the same: strong Westerly or Northerly winds every afternoon for several days and not much in the way of a North Easterly. We moved Wings around to the east side of Koh Muk seeking shelter from these unusual winds.

Sheltering from the Westerlies
I wondered what was going on with the weather.
I got on the Internet and did some checking: A look at the overall Asian weather maps revealed that the Asian High, which usually gives us the cool NE winds in February, was not clearly defined in its usual position over Beijing and the flow of cool air down the China coast and across the Gulf of Siam was weak or missing. Hong Kong even has Southerlies; it's a bit early for that.
So now we know: the NE winds in Asia have been cut off; the westerly sea breeze can flow unimpeded. The situation does not look to change much for the next week or even longer.
At the moment we are sheltered from these unwelcome winds and making the best of it; we went ashore to the resort last night and had a nice dinner and a bottle of good Chilean wine and today it is clear and bright outside, but blowing. We are protected from the west and don't expect anything from the east. However, there are Northerlies coming and we are exposed to them, plus we need a new strategy and some new anchorages for the remaining passage back to Phuket. The SW Monsoon is not here yet but with the current weather pattern the usual West Coast anchorages are no longer advantageous.
We'll pour over the charts and see what we can find; I'm sure we'll figure out something.

GIFs, the animated image file format, have had a renaissance, becoming quite popular on the web for the last year or so.
Alex Williams at The New York Times decided to dig in and figure out why the animated files that are almost as old as the web itself have regained popularity.
His theory: Nostalgia.
"For people in their 20s, GIFs are a relic of their childhood, so it makes sense they would come back as a fashion statement — just like '70s fashion came back in the '90s, and the '90s are coming back around now,"Jason Tanz, executive editor of Wired, told Williams.
The GIF format dates back to early days of the Internet in 1987, when ISP CompuServe developed the "graphics interchange format." One of the first most popular GIFs was a dancing baby. Since then, GIFs have matured and have also become easier to make.
GIFs are also helpful in solidifying a point, celebrating good news, and turning news events into short, humorous moments.
In our humble opinion, it has less to do with nostalgia, and more to do with the functionality of a GIF. A GIF can convey an arch, ironic message, which is what you'll see on Tumblr. But it can also provide a quick video-like format.
A GIF is a better version of web video. There is no pre-roll, or post-roll ad. The format doesn't allow for super long boring video, and you get to watch a loop to see what happened.

It was a "Supernatural" day indeed for one fan at the show's Hall H Comic-Con panel Sunday when her boyfriend got down on one knee in front of thousands to propose to her.
"You are the sun that brightens my day and the moon of my life," he said in front of the thousands of people in the notoriously large Hall H, in a video posted to Twitter. "I can't think of anyone else I'd want by my side slaying zombies and killing vampires and killing demons and whatever else is out there."
Cheers erupted from the audience as the man got down on one knee in front of the panel, full of the show's stars.
"What I'm trying to ask you...Ashley...will you marry me?" he asked her.
Ashley nodded and hugged her new fiancé.
The sweet moment prompted loud cheers and swoons from the audience. Hall H seats more than 6,000 people.

Private Access offers "private access" to money managers for financial advisors to have for their clients. On one hand, Separately Managed Account Platforms are not new to the industry. In fact, one may say that other broker dealers (independent and wirehouse) have offered a plethora of options – perhaps too many. ProEquities will be careful and diligent in the number of options so as not to overwhelm advisors.
1. Do you need a logo for your company or for a specific product or solution? (Please attach any other logo you use and describe its meaning.)Protective Life Corporation (traded on the NYSE as PL) owns Protective Life Insurance Company and ProEquities (PES) amongst other companies. Protective has its Brand Book. ProEquities has a draft Brand Book and its brand aligns with Protective but is different at the same time.
You may go to the web site to learn about ProEquities.
PES offers products, services, compliance, processing, etc. to financial advisors and registered reps that are licensed by governing authorities to conduct different levels of business. Products are manufactured by Product Sponsors.
A logo is requested for "Private Access".
Private Access is the ProEquities "Separately Managed Account Platform". (So it is not actually a "product" the way I typically would describe a "product".) There are different "Money Managers" for Private Access. Each Manager brings individual experiences, reputations, talent pools, and tendencies for certain product mixes/asset classes they prefer. Some are niche-like, some nationally oriented, some global. Advisors (not clients) can contact a Manager within Private Access to request an advising relationship for their client.
2. What do you hope to accomplish with your new identity?
Private Access offers "private access" to money managers for financial advisors to have for their clients. On one hand, Separately Managed Account Platforms are not new to the industry. In fact, one may say that other broker dealers (independent and wirehouse) have offered a plethora of options – perhaps too many. PES will be careful and diligent in the number of options so as not to overwhelm advisors.
3. Describe your products / services you feel make you stand out.
Our competitive advantage is in the talent selecting the manager mix, the alliances formed previously allowing open doors to these groups, and the positive attitudes on both sides to join forces.
4. What is the most important application of your logo? (business cards, promotional products, building signage, web site. etc.)
Advisor materials including brochures, flyers, and a website – for both existing advisors to understand the platform and potential advisors who would be attracted to PES for the platform.
5. Describe your target market in terms of age, HH income, lifestyle, overall worth, geographical location, nationality, etc.Advisors are Series 65 or 66 licensed and tend therefore to be higher end, sophisticated individuals with clients in the top 10-20% of household income.
- Item 1...If you have an exact name to appear in your logo, what is it?
Private Access
The ProEquities logo (http://www.ProEquities.com) will be the dominant logo and should be in balance with the one created for Private Access. These two logos will appear on the same page, but should not look the same!
Do you have a tagline to appear with your logo? What is it?Probably not.
Are you interested in the logo having a "symbol" representation (Apple) or simply a stylization of type?A symbol would be desired but not mandatory.
Is there a style you have in mind? (Corporate, fun, elegant, classic, bold, serious, high tech…) Exclusive, contemporary, minimalist, crisp
Do you have a color preference? Colors to stay away from? Other colors that need to be considered?NO: brown, red
YES: blues, greens
Must transfer to black and white use also.
- Item 1...No browns or reds

Lanvin Spring 2013 | Pictures
Lanvin Spring 2013
Lanvin Spring 2013
It seemed the cloudy Paris skies cleared for Lanvin, and on this Friday night at 8PM, L'Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Artes, one of the gazillion gorgeous buildings in Paris a center for classic French art, was lit up against a navy sky and a bright full moon. It was the perfect setting for one of the most fun shows of Paris Fashion Week. Why? Because Alber Elbaz and team know how to make a show feel like a party. The runway, a pretty raw setup of scaffolding, bleacher seats, and a metal raised runway, dominated a gigantic glass-domed, tiled courtyard that featured Greco-Roman statues in each corner of the space. It was an interesting dichotomy of classic and beautiful and industrial. Everything else was cushy — literally the bleachers were covered in cushions, and tuxedo-clad waiters served macarons, tea sandwiches, and champagne in floral-painted glasses. It was a high-energy crowd that included the great Catherine Deneuve and the always chic Rachel Zoe. Now to the show: it opened with a series of black and white tuxedo-inspired looks. It was high glamour, one of the highlights being a heavily-embellished jumpsuit worn by Kristen McMenamy, whose gray, almost white hair fell past her waist. The show closed in jewel tones, with structured apron dresses that tied on the side. There was a distinct Japanese reference, but it was done subtly, via obi belts and kimono-ish shapes. I don't know that I would call the collection zen — rather, it was fun and sexy, like the asymmetric swimsuit worn with slouchy pants and heels, or the dresses that tied loosely on the side to reveal a hint of skin. There was also plenty to admire in the accessories department; thanks to the raised runway, everyone got to see the dangerously high irridescent platform ankle-strap heels and the little purses that resembled both girly perfume bottles and a tiny cartoon bomb. Overall, it was a superbly fun show with plenty of Parisian glamour for all.

A towering first-half header from Macclesfield striker Tyrone Barnett was enough to help the visitors take a big step towards survival with a 1-0 win at toothless Cheltenham.
The visitors had survived an early scare when Dan Gray appeared to clothes-line Cheltenham striker Wesley Thomas as the hosts looked to break, but the referee failed to award even a free-kick.
Cheltenham offered little in response and it was a comfortable second-half for the visitors who could have added a second on two occasions.
Two minutes into the second period, Macclesfield's Nat Brown saw a header headed off the line by Brian Smikle, and Barnett almost capped an impressive performance with a diving header five minutes from time which forced an acrobatic one-handed save from Cheltenham keeper Scott Brown.
The closest Cheltenham came to scoring was when substitute JJ Melligan's deep cross in the 90th minute almost caught out visiting keeper Jose Veiga, who palmed the ball around the top-left corner.
Veiga had stood up to block well from Josh Low just before the interval but otherwise had a comfortable afternoon.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things this weekend that may possibly be worth shunning your loved ones and general health for. LET'S GO!
DOLLHOUSE – 8PM Tonight (FOX)
Tonight's episode is the second half of the "lost" episode of Joss Whedon's human playtoy series. The "Epitaph" episode, split in two, was not picked up as part of FOX's first season order of the show, and until now, was only available on the first season DVD. Because the show is now cancelled, "Epitaph" also stands as the series' ultimate finale. Here's a quick synopsis for you:
In the year 2020, one year after the events of "Epitaph One," the last of the Actuals, along with the body of Iris still imprinted as Caroline, must find the original Echo/Caroline at Safe Haven so that Echo and her allies can attempt to restore order to a devastated future world before mankind is completely destroyed.
Got all that? No? Fear not. No one understands anything going on with this show. But it'll look cool, it'll have snappy dialogue, and Eliza Dushku will be, like, doing things. It could be in Esperanto and still be intriguing.
METEOR STORM – 9PM Saturday (SyFy)
You know what I like about these (NBC Universal-owned) SyFy original B-movies? They're all so clearly titled. If they name the movie "Meteor Storm," then by golly you are going to get some bigass meteors colliding with things. It continues the meme of self-explanatory SyFy movie titles, like "Giant Ants," and "Killer Bat," and "Cannibal Cyborg." No ambiguity there.
SNL – 11:29PM Saturday (NBC)
Jon Hamm returns! One of the show's finest recent hosts comes back for a second guest stint, along with crooner Michael Buble (whose last name is always good for a giggle) as musical guest. Will we see a sketch on par with Jon Hamm's John Ham? I'm hoping for something that involves sauna bologna.
GRAMMY AWARDS - 8PM Sunday (CBS)
This year's Grammy ceremony will not have a host, and I frankly prefer my awards shows that way. Do I need pithy banter in between awards and performances? No, I do not. Scheduled performers include Beyonce, The Black Eyed Peas, Bon Jovi, Pink, Lady Gaga, Dave Matthews Band, Taylor Swift, Maxwell, Jennifer Hudson, Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, and a 3D tribute to Michael Jackson performed by Usher. Ooh, 3D! If James Cameron directs that segment, I think we're all in for a treat. There will also be a performance by the cast of Green Day's "American Idiot" musical. Showtune versions of songs from an album I grew tired of three years ago? EXCITING!
HOUSE HUNTERS - 9PM Sunday (HGTV)
This show involves rich people looking for houses and turning down virtually every home the poor realtor shows them. Occasionally, I like watching shows that make me want to punch people in the face, and this fits the bill quite nicely.

This guide will help update your version of the ALSA modules under Mandriva 2008.0. This is useful for people who's sound is not currently working with their current version of ALSA. We will be covering the installation of the the latest stable drivers, the latest development and the CVS ALSA modules.
We will be using 'nano' as our text editor of choice but you can use whatever you wish.
While this guide is mainly focused to laptop users there isn't any difference for desktop users.
You should run a full update for your installation of Mandriva to ensure you have all the latest packages installed.
Depending on your sound controller you will need to make the decision on which version of ALSA you will need to install. If you are not sure you should start with the stable drivers. If the stable drivers don't work you can then move on to the development driver and then if necessary move on to the CVS driver.
The stable drivers have received the most testing and are the recommended drivers to use if they support your sound controller. The development drivers haven't been tested as much as the stable ones have but still typically work well. The CVS drivers are up to date drivers with the latest developments however this means that this version have barely been tested so should only be used if absolutely necessary.
Here are the steps to installing the ALSA modules:
1. Download your chosen set of drivers from http://www.alsa-project.org for the stable and development drivers and from http://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/alsa/snapshot/driver/ for the latest CVS drivers. In this guide we are going to use alsa-driver-1.0.15 as at the time of writing these are the latest stable drivers. You just need to substitute your driver version with the version used here. You only need to download the alsa-driver package, the other packages (alsa-lib, alsa-utils etc.) are not necessary.
2. Load up a terminal window if you are in the graphic interface.
3. Switch to the root user by entering the command "su -" (without the quotes) and typing in your root password
4. Type in the following to install gcc and the kernel headers:
urpmi kernel-devel gcc
And follow the on screen prompts.
5. Move to the /usr/src/ folder with:
cd /usr/src
6. Extract the contents of the file you downloaded with:
tar -xjvf /path/to/alsa-driver-1.0.15.tar.bz2
Remember to replace the "/path/to" in this command to the path of where your file is.
7. Move into the newly created folder with
cd alsa-driver-1.0.15
8. Run the configuration script with:
9. Now start the building process with:
This will take a while.
10. And finally we install these drivers with:
make install
11. Reboot your computer and the newer ALSA modules will be used.
Remember that you may need to adjust your volume settings.
If this guide did not work you may like to view the general Configuring the audio guide or use the Audio Tester.

Fire management
Fire management strategy
The FAO Ministerial Meeting on Forests and the 17th Session of the FAO Committee on Forestry, March 2005 (Rome, Italy 2005) called upon FAO, in collaboration with countries and other international partners, including the UNISDR, to develop a strategy to enhance international cooperation in fire management, that advanced knowledge, increased access to information and resources and explored new approaches for cooperation at all levels. They also requested preparation of voluntary guidelines on the prevention, suppression and recovery from forest fire. The need for such tools to assist in international cooperation had also been highlighted at the 3rd International Wildland Fire Conference and the International Wildland Fire Summit (Sydney, Australia 2003) because of the increasing incidence and severity of impacts of major fires globally.
An international expert consultation in wildland fires (Madrid, May 2006) agreed that the non-legally binding Strategy to Enhance International Cooperation in Fire Management includes the overarching framework and four components: i) Fire Management Voluntary Guidelines; ii) Implementation Partnership; iii) Global Assessment of Fire Management; and iv) Review of International Cooperation in Fire Management.
These tools have been tailored primarily for land-use policy makers, planners and managers in fire management, including the Governments, the private sector and non-governmental organizations to assist in the formulation of policy, legal, regulatory and other enabling conditions and strategic actions for more holistic approaches to fire management. Their scope includes the positive and negative social, cultural, environmental and economic impacts of natural and planned fires in forests, woodlands, rangelands, grasslands, agricultural and rural/-urban landscapes. The fire management scope includes early warning, prevention, preparedness (international, national, sub-national and community), safe and effective initial attack on incidences of fire and landscape restoration following fire.
Additionally to these tools and based on the Voluntary Guidelines FAO has developed Legal Guidelines for fire management and reprinted a Wildland Fire Management to complement the fire management strategy publications, originally developed by the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs

The player whose ineligibility left Goose Creek disqualified from the state playoffs has filed a federal lawsuit to put on hold Friday's semifinal game between Bluffton and Northwestern.
The suit was filed this morning under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which protects disabled people from discrimination by public agencies. It seeks a temporary restraining order against the South Carolina High School League that would allow top-ranked Goose Creek to play Northwestern on Friday.
The player was identified for the first time in the suit as Justice Roemello Rogers.
Rogers, a special needs student with a learning disability who is in his fifth year of high school, was ruled ineligible by the SCHSL executive committee for the second time Monday. The suit argues he is protected under the act and should be eligible to play.
The case is scheduled to be heard by Judge Charles Weston Houck at 2 p.m. at the Charleston Federal Courthouse.
The suit came fewer than 24 hours after Goose Creek principal Jimmy Huskey and coach Chuck Reedy said at a Tuesday news conference the school had exhausted all options in fighting its disqualification.
Goose Creek successfully sued for a temporary restraining order Friday, which allowed it to play Bluffton after the player was declared ineligible last week. The Gators won 35-25, but they were booted out of the playoffs in a second appeal hearing Monday.
The suit was filed by Moss and Associates, a Columbia law firm, on Rogers' behalf.

1001 Inventions announces Qatar exhibitions
1001 Inventions and Arabick Roots Exhibitions to open at Museum of Islamic Art, Doha
Doha, Qatar (4th September, 2012): 1001 Inventions, Qatar Shell and Qatar Museums Authority (QMA) announced today their partnership to bring to Doha two exhibitions about Muslim Heritage which celebrate the extraordinary and often-forgotten scientific and cultural achievements from the 'Golden Age' of Muslim Civilisation.
The ground-breaking achievements of this era, from the seventh to the 17th centuries, will be introduced to residents and visitors to the Qatari capital from October 2012 until January 2013 through the internationally renowned and award-winning 1001 Inventions exhibition and the Arabick Roots exhibition, which premiered at the Royal Society in London in 2011.
The 15-week celebration will feature interactive exhibitions, movies, live shows, cultural events and educational seminars. The exhibitions will be held at the Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) and are open to the public.
Ahmed Salim, Producer and Director of 1001 Inventions, commented: "We are immensely proud to be working with QMA, MIA and Qatar Shell to showcase those two highly engaging exhibitions in Doha, and to introduce the people of Qatar to the scientific and cultural achievements from the 'Golden Age' of Muslim Civilisation. The exhibitions, live shows, films and educational events – working in partnership with local schools and universities – are all designed to take young people on a journey to the past to inspire a better future."
Situated in the Museum of Islamic Art Park, 1001 Inventions will open to the public on 16th October until 12th November 2012. The 1001 Inventions exhibition was named the Best Touring Exhibition of the Year at the Museums and Heritage Excellence Awards in 2011. 1001 Inventions exhibition reveals achievements of the golden age of Muslim Civilisation in an interactive, fun and family-friendly environment. It uses technology and interactive exhibits to relate stories of a thousand years of science using highly engaging interpretation. 1001 Inventions has drawn millions of visitors at blockbuster residencies in London, New York, Los Angeles, Istanbul and Washington, DC.
Doha will also welcome the Arabick Roots exhibition, which was opened by Her Highness Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser, Chairperson of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, at its premiere last year at the Royal Society in London in partnership with the Foundation for Science Technology and Civilisation (FSTC, academic partner and parent entity of 1001 Inventions).
The Doha version of the exhibition, specially curated for the Doha audience through collaboration between 1001 Inventions and MIA, will be open to the public at the Museum of Islamic Art from 17th October 2012 to 19th January 2013. The exhibition will reveal rich and surprising connections between the scientific pioneers of Muslim Civilisation and 17th century Europe's greatest scholars and scientists, showing that then – just like today – collaboration across linguistic and cultural boundaries can lead to great results.
Speaking on behalf of Qatar Museums Authority, CEO Mansoor Al Khater (on the left photo), commented: "We would like to extend our gratitude to Qatar Shell for partnering with us to host these exciting exhibitions. We also thank our partners at 1001 Inventions for their creative spirit and cooperation with us to bring to Qatar world-renowned exhibitions that present the golden age of Muslim Civilisation. These two exhibitions will encourage Qatar's younger generation to innovate and contribute towards a better future. Building from a long history of innovations in Muslim Civilisation, Qatar is perfectly placed to be a leader in modern science and technological innovations."
"With the renaissance sweeping Qatar at this time, it is the ideal time for us to highlight the achievements of our forefathers, and remind ourselves and the world what we are capable of," Al Khater added. "The discoveries featured in these two exhibitions, and the inventive way they have been put together, are an inspiration to us and our youth, and we are proud to be its gateway to local and international audiences here in Qatar. We are pleased to be collaborating with such dedicated and creative partners such as Qatar Shell and 1001 Inventions to bring these exciting exhibitions to Qatar."
Wael Sawan, Qatar Shell's Executive Vice President (on the right photo), expressed his enthusiasm for the two exhibitions, saying: "Shell is honoured to partner with QMA, MIA and 1001 Inventions to bring these two high-profile exhibitions to Qatar as part of our corporate social responsibility programme," he continued. "In line with Shell's support to the Qatar National Vision 2030, we are creating with our partners a series of cultural and educational events in Qatar during these next months. These initiatives aim to celebrate the towering achievements of the past to inspire the Qatari youth to create the innovations of the future, and build upon the existing accomplishments of this great nation," he added.
Doha will also play host to a range of events including inspirational educational films about the history of Muslim Civilisation, poetry readings, live shows and academic seminars to complement the exhibitions. Schoolteachers and parents from across Qatar will be invited to introduce the nation's young people to the inspirational role models featured within the two exhibitions.
This version of the 1001 Inventions exhibition was constructed with support from Abdul Latif Jameel Community Initiatives, the global partner for 1001 Inventions.

Scaling and Root Cleaning in Coral Gables
Deep Cleaning in Miami
Miami's Dr. Andres de Cardenas and his staff of caring, concerned professionals want you to know when you walk into their office you're not just seen as a patient, but respected as an individual who has options in the kind of dental care they receive. That's why a diagnosis of periodontal or gum disease does automatically mean that you have to lose your natural teeth. There are options.
Periodontal Scaling / Root Cleaning
Periodontal scaling and root planing or cleaning are two procedures used concurrently that produce one of the most effective means of combating gum disease. Periodontal scaling is a process used to remove plaque and tartar down to the bottom of the "periodontal pocket" that forms with the onset of gum disease. Root cleaning or root planing smooths the tooth's root surface allowing for the gum tissue to heal and makes it more difficult for plaque to build up on the planed surface.
Root Cleaning Procedure
Because periodontal scaling is a deep cleaning, Dr. de Cardenas generally starts by numbing the gums. However, as each person is different, Dr. de Cardenas has a discussion with each of his patients regarding the management of their discomfort.
The periodontal scaling is performed using either a small instrument called a scaler or an ultrasonic cleaner. Using the same instrument, the root surfaces of the teeth are then planed. Antibiotic fibers might be inserted into the pockets between the teeth and gum to speed healing and to reduce the chances of infection.
Dr. de Cardenas' scaling and planing treatments along with proper dental care after the treatment have shown to be highly effective in treating the progression of gum disease allowing patients to keep their natural teeth.
Gum Disease Treatment
Scaling and Root Cleaning in Coral Gables is a highly effective treatment for gum disease. However, it can be difficult to understand how the treatment is performed and what to expect once it's over.
Contact Miami's Dentist Dr. Andres de Cardenas

The walls of Nicholas Katzenbach's library are evidence enough that he has led a full and historic life - pictures signed by Lyndon Johnson and Coretta Scott King, photographs from the Oval Office, a pencil sketch of Robert Kennedy, with an inscription from his widow, Ethel.
"Some of It Was Fun"
By Nicholas Katzenbach

The walls of Nicholas Katzenbach's library are evidence enough that he has led a full and historic life - pictures signed by Lyndon Johnson and Coretta Scott King, photographs from the Oval Office, a pencil sketch of Robert Kennedy, with an inscription from his widow, Ethel.
A member of Kennedy's famous team at the Justice Department who later became attorney general, a key aide on civil rights who confronted George Wallace before TV cameras and helped pass Johnson's landmark legislation, Katzenbach witnessed and participated in many of the great triumphs and struggles of the 1960s.
Never as famous as the people for whom he worked, he was regarded as smart, honest and selfless, so selfless that many now don't know who he is. About a year and a half ago, Katzenbach decided to tell his story - if only because he had nothing better to do.
"I was bored," says the bald, burly voiced Katzenbach, 86, seated in an armchair on a sunny fall afternoon, his bright, high-ceilinged home quieted by 50 acres of wildlife. The Bush administration's firings of several U.S. attorneys in 2005-2006 also convinced him that he should write a memoir.
"It was a combination of being bored and being disgusted with the current administration and what they were doing to the Justice Department," he says.
Katzenbach's memoir, "Some of It Was Fun," covers his eight years in government, from his eagerly joining the Kennedy administration to his weary departure from the Johnson administration, when the most exhausting of decades had left him worn out.
He wasn't an intimate companion of the Kennedys or the Johnsons, but he was a trusted aide who always seemed to be around when history happened - not just civil rights history, but the Bay of Pigs invasion, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Warren Commission and the Vietnam War.
"He is a central figure in so many of the pivotal episodes of American history of the 1960s," says Robert Caro, who has interviewed Katzenbach for the fourth and final volume of his series of books on Lyndon Johnson. "And he has the ability, which not every participant has, to see the larger implications of their actions."
"Nick has been a truly noble public servant," says historian Sean Wilentz, who praises Katzenbach as a model for a time when government officials were "honest pursuers of justice, without ideological axes to grind."
Katzenbach, a native of Philadelphia who grew up in Trenton, N.J., was born into a political family. His father, Edward L. Katzenbach, was New Jersey's attorney general. His uncle, Frank S. Katzenbach, was the mayor of Trenton whose hopes for becoming governor were stopped by the rise of a Princeton University president named Woodrow Wilson.
Nicholas Katzenbach was just the kind of man the Kennedys valued: educated (Princeton, Yale, Oxford), ambitious yet practical, and tempered by war. An Army Air Corps navigator, he was shot down by the Nazis and spent two years in prison camp.
For much of the 1950s, Katzenbach was a professor of law, first at Yale, then at the University of Chicago. He was on a leave of absence, in Switzerland, when John F. Kennedy received the Democrats' nomination for president in 1960.
"Kennedy was a junior officer in World War II, just as I had been. And it was a really strong pull for young veterans who came back from World War II," he says.
Katzenbach phoned fellow Yale alumnus and future Supreme Court justice Byron White and was told to come to Washington. After being interviewed by Robert Kennedy (who addressed him as "Professor Katzenbach"), he was named to head the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel.
Robert Kennedy's time as attorney general is now widely praised, but his appointment was initially ridiculed: He was in his mid-30s, impetuous, inexperienced - and the president's brother.
But he recruited prime legal talent, including Katzenbach, White, Burke Marshall and Archibald Cox, and didn't interfere politically. Katzenbach remembers Kennedy as informal, energetic and open-minded, happy to hear anyone's opinion and respectfully demanding of the highest standards.
"The most serious criticism that Bobby Kennedy could ever make was to say, 'That's not very satisfactory, is it?' Boy, that just meant you really screwed up. But he never blew up, never lost his temper," Katzenbach says.
"It's very hard to see how that young man grew up as fast as he did, became as mature as he did in so short a period of time. He gained an awful lot of wisdom."
Victor Navasky, whose "Kennedy Justice" is a history of Bobby Kennedy's Justice Department, says Katzenbach was a "reality anchor," never more weighted than in 1963, when the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa was ready to admit its first two black students and Gov. George Wallace had vowed to "stand in the schoolhouse door" to stop it.
It was an orchestrated confrontation, with Wallace having signaled privately that he would relent. Someone would have to represent the federal government - Katzenbach. Looking businesslike in a suit and tie, sweating under the Alabama sun, Katzenbach walked up to the school's entrance and handed Wallace a presidential proclamation saying he must obey the law.
With the nation watching on television, including a nervous Robert Kennedy at his office in Washington, Wallace denounced outside interference, while Katzenbach called the governor's tactics a mere "show." The students were peacefully registered.
"Katzenbach was such a smart person; you had to marvel at his ability to operate within the confines of what diplomacy permits," Navasky says. "So if you had to send someone to face down a Southerner in the middle of a school integration crisis, you knew you didn't have to worry about him making some gaffe."
Asked to cite his best times in government, Katzenbach mentions the 1964 Civil Rights Act, when Sen. Clair Engle, a California Republican who had twice undergone brain surgery, was carried into the Senate chamber on a stretcher and cast a key vote that helped ensure the bill's passage. The worst day: President Kennedy's assassination in Dallas, Nov. 22, 1963.
Katzenbach was at lunch in Washington when he heard the news that Friday afternoon. He had little time to grieve. Vice President Johnson wanted to be sworn in immediately as president. Katzenbach's advice was needed. Did the chief justice of the Supreme Court need to swear in the new president? No, replied Katzenbach, a federal judge could do it. Since no one with Johnson knew the exact oath of office, Katzenbach found a copy of the Constitution and read it over the phone to LBJ aide Jack Valenti.
At the time, killing the president wasn't a federal crime, so the case was initially handled by Texas officials. But when suspect Lee Harvey Oswald was shot dead, on national television, conspiracy theories were so strong that Katzenbach suggested that a "blue-ribbon" panel investigate - what eventually became the Warren Commission.
Katzenbach was one of the few officials equally valued by the Kennedy administration and by President Johnson, who had a bitter relationship with Robert Kennedy. After Kennedy resigned in 1964 to run for the U.S. Senate, Katzenbach was named acting attorney general, then given the job permanently.
He would adjust well from the urbane Kennedy style to the rough, hands-on Johnson approach, thanks in part to his quick, legal instincts. Katzenbach recalls an outing at Johnson's Texas ranch, when the president demanded that they hunt for deer, firing away from a Cadillac convertible. The attorney general didn't want to hunt, but was afraid to say no. The law was his answer; he noted that he didn't have a Texas hunting license and wouldn't want reporters to find out.
"By God," Johnson responded, "I never thought of that."
His last two years in Washington were the hardest. With the president's attention increasingly turned to Vietnam, Katzenbach became bored and volunteered to fill an opening as undersecretary of state. He had hoped for a peaceful settlement, and says Johnson wanted the same, but the war only intensified, with no foreseeable end. Katzenbach wanted out, regardless of who was the next president. In 1969, he became general counsel for IBM.
Katzenbach says he needed just a few months to complete "Some of It Was Fun," working from notes and other documents, and a strong memory, although not so strong that he doesn't acknowledge in the preface that "while I vouch for the substance with confidence, I cannot do the same for the precise words."
The book's title came from a conversation with his daughter, Mimi. She had read a chapter and commented, "You know, Dad, I think you were enjoying a lot of this."
Well, Katzenbach replied, "Some of it was fun."
