Drug-Free Workplace Policy
In compliance with federal law, Claremont McKenna College establishes a Drug-Free Workplace Policy effective immediately. The unlawful manufacture, distribution, possession, sale, offer to sell, purchase and/or use of controlled substances in the workplace is prohibited. These controlled substances include, but are not limited to, marijuana, heroin, cocaine, and amphetamines.
The provisions of the Act do not require employees or students to undergo drug screening or testing.
The safety and health of our faculty, staff, and students is a primary concern of the College. It is well known that substance abuse and dependency can lead to work-related accidents caused by impaired judgment, inability to operate equipment properly, and other similar situations. Employees who are under the influence are a danger to both themselves and others with whom they work. When they do not cause actual harm, they present a source of concern and a demoralizing effect on other employees. In addition, substance abusers are not always on the job because of ill health and are more likely to be absent from work, be on workers' compensation, or disability leave.
The cost on the employees and the employer is inestimable. While there is no doubt that substance abusers cost employers, the effect on the College environment should not be underestimated.
The purpose of this policy is (1) to state rules governing substance abuse in the workplace; (2) to present disciplinary procedures, and (3) to offer recommendations for rehabilitation and treatment.
Rules Governing Substance Abuse at Work/Disciplinary Procedures:
- As a condition of employment and continued employment, all employees of Claremont McKenna College (faculty, administration, staff, and student employees) are required to adhere to this policy.
- All employees should be provided with a copy of this policy, especially those employed in grant and contract projects, students receiving federal funds, and other segments of the employee/student population.
- All employees are prohibited from possessing/using illegal drugs during office hours and while on the premises.
- Employees who unlawfully manufacture, distribute, sell, offer to sell, dispense, possess, purchase or use controlled substances in the workplace shall be subject to discipline, up to and including termination.
- Supervisors will be responsible for reporting to the Director of Human Resources of the College any conviction of any employee as a result of a drug violation. Reports concerning students' conviction(s) will be reported to the Director of Financial Aid.
- Employees convicted of drug offenses in the workplace will be required to participate in a rehabilitation program.
Drug Awareness Program/Rehabilitation
- The Claremont Colleges sponsor several campus programs on drug awareness for all members of the community. Supervisors are encouraged to urge their employees to attend such presentations.
- Well, Well, Well, a newsletter published four times a year serves as an information vehicle for community health education. That newsletter is distributed to all students, faculty, and staff.
- Staff News, an employee newsletter issued two time a year through CUC, will regularly feature articles on drug awareness.
- A network of referrals and support groups is available to employees who are concerned about problems of substance abuse and rehabilitation. This information is available from the Director of Human Resources.
- Each of The Claremont Colleges has indicated that it will adopt a policy similar to this statement.
The Policy for a Drug-Free Workplace
The intent of this policy is to help establish and maintain a safe College environment for students, faculty, and staff; it is also required by law. Additionally, the College hopes it will provide a referral service to assist in rehabilitation of students or employees seeking help.
The "Drug-Free Workplace Act" defines the employer's obligation to maintain a "drug-free workplace" both in terms of procedure and compliance. It also defines the result for non-compliance. Meeting the certification requirements will be a pre-condition to receiving federal monies, including federal student employment or scholarship funds.

Preview | RecapBucs post five first place finishes at Liberty Open
Sunday, January 30, 2011
LYNCHBURG, Va. (Jan. 29, 2011) - The ETSU men's and women's Track and Field teams had several athletes post outstanding performance Saturday as the Bucs had five first place finishes at the Liberty Open in Lynchburg, Va.
"This meet has shown us that we are doing the right things, and putting things together at the right time," said assistant coach Eli Sunquist. "I was thrilled with the performances across the board, and it's a great meet to set us for our home meet next week. Jarrod continues to improve each week, and his hard work is really paying off. I was also very excited about how Ryan Beaver jumped. This was his first time jumping from a full approach this season, and I think today is just the beginning of something special for him this year."
On the men's side, senior Jarrod Burton (Bastian, Va.) continued a great 2011 campaign as he placed first in the shot put for the second straight week after a personal best throw of 57-0. Burton also finished second in the weight throw with a mark of 58-11 �.
Sophomore Ryan Beaver (Virginia Beach, Va.) also posted a first place finish in the field events as he had a lifetime best jump of 49-7 � to win the men's triple jump. The mark was two feet better than Beaver's previous best, and currently ranks in the US top 40.
In the sprints, the Bucs had a breakout performance from sophomore Tim O'Dell (Palm Coast, Fla.) as he won the men's 400m with a time of 49.75. Current A-Sun Athlete of the Week Ifrish Alberg
(Paramaribo, Suriname) followed up his performance last week with a third place finish in the men's 60m dash as he had a time of 6.88, while Mike James (Palm Bay, Fla.) placed second in the 60m hurdles with a time of 8.06.
The men's 4x400m relay team (O'Dell, James, Desmond Pierce, and Robert Purcell) also had a second place finish as they were just edged out by the host Liberty Flames after running a time of 3:22.89.
On the women's side, senior Jasmine Ingram (Fredrick, Md.) led the way as she won the 200m after running a time of 25.44. Ingram also placed third in the women's 60m dash as she had a personal record time of 7.80, while Emani Harrison (Columbia, S.C.) finished second in the 60m with a time 7.73.
Also placing for the Bucs in the sprints was junior Hannah Bowers (Jonesborough, Tenn.) as she finished second in the 400m with a time of 1:00.29.
The women's 4x400 relay team of Emma Bowers (Jonesborough, Tenn.), Harrison, Ashton Bishop (Gate City, Va.), and Ingram ran away with a first place finish as the Bucs ran a season best time of 3:56.55.
In the field events, A-Sun Athlete of the Week Lexie Burley (Johnson City, Tenn.) had another strong outing as she finished third in the women's triple jump with a personal best mark of 38-2 �, while sophomore Jasmine Foster (Johnson city, Tenn.) placed third in the shot put with a lifetime best throw of 41-1.
"On the women's side we continue to improve in both top performances, as well as depth," Sunquist added. "Jasmine Ingram ran very well, Jasmine Foster had a great PR, as did Lexie. We are really excited about how our women are coming together as a team."
In the combined events, freshman Stephond Allmond (Memphis, Tenn.) showed some promise as he placed sixth in the heptathlon in his first action of the season totaling 4056 points on the weekend.
"Stephond had a fantastic first heptathlon," Sunquist said. "He was a bit unlucky in the long jump, but all of his events really impressed me. Being able to score what he did in just 6 events is great. He showed great courage throughout the 2 day event."
The Bucs return to action next weekend as they host the Niswonger Invitational inside the MSHA Athletic Center from Feb. 4-5.

Technical limitations of photography
February 05, 2007, 05:03:41 AM »
I'm always surprised at the complacency many photographers feel towards technical limitations of photography. But I am shocked when this complacency becomes embracing, reinforcing and perpetuating these same limitations.
This came to the surface once again due to Michael's recent essay on cropping. Some photographers feel that the technical limitation of their equipment - frame/sensor aspect ratio - is something that should be adhered to at all times. Many feel these limitations should be at least respected most of the time.
Without going through the (de)merits of that discussion again, I'd like to open a discussion on the overarching issue: that photographers are often ok with technical limitations which limit their final results even when they could be easily overcome. This is especially true for any form of post-processing, whether it's wet or digital. Some photographers go as far as being proud of the limitations of their equipment: "this shot is straight out of the camera!"
What is the reason for such complacency or even embracement of these limitations? Photography is arguably one of the more technical forms of art to produce, but I still doubt that's the reason. Why do photographers feel it's ok to let your equpment limit your decisions even when that's not necessary? Why do photographers feel it's the engineers at Canon or Hasselblad who should delineate the limits of shooting when in many cases the photographer can affect them during and after shooting?

In some cases, what appears to be going on is that photographers who got accustomed to doing things a certain way (when doing it otherwise would be difficult or impossible) are loathe to change their ways when doing it otherwise becomes possible (since most people are, in general, resistant to change), and they look for rationalizations to keep doing it the way they are accustomed to. Humans are creatures of habit...
One example of this was a few years ago when many traditional film photographers were resistant to changing to digital. Their arguments basically consisted of pointing out all the ways that digital was different from film and automatically assuming that digital was worse just because it was different. An example was their complaints that digital images look "fake" or "plasticky" without film grain. Fortunately, those sorts of complaints seem to have finally died out...

I've never seen the desire to work optimally, within the confines of a particular camera, referred to as "complacency".
Photography is, intrinsically, a process of placing boundaries around subjects. These boundaries are not "limitations" but, rather, instruments of the medium. I think many, probably most, photographers will not demur from redefining a photograph's original boundaries if the action creates an image closer to intentions.
In the same vein, however, establishing a self-imposed discipline of creating the strongest original composition within the confines of a camera's native characteristics is hardly "complacency" or laziness. To the contrary, it's an admirable technique that is generally more difficult to pursue but which nearly always produces superior results due largely to applying a more rigorous discipline.
Forgive me if I've misinterpreted your original declaration, "feppe".

Read "Beauty in Photography" by Robert Adams.
All artistic mediums have technical limitations. They give a medium definition. These limitations are not fixed but evolve as artists push against those boundaries and the equipment market innovates.
You should show us some of your work that is not limited by your equipment.

Ken, I do agree to a point. I worked hard to avoid analogies as people end up debating the analogy instead of the issue at hand. With the threat of that happening:
A photographer who boasts his work is "as shot with no post-processing or cropping" is akin to a painter who decides before she starts painting that "I'm going to paint on a 5 by 4 canvas, using only ultramarine, maroon and burgundy colors. If I make a mistake I'm not going to start over or paint over."
Now, let's try to avoid discussing the (de)merits of the above analogy. My point and question is that why do some photographers let their equipment limit them even when it would be trivial to not let these limitations to one's work?

How is my work or how I relate to the technical limitations relevant to the discussion? FWIW, I'm an amateur struggling to get a better understanding of the art of photography. I do extensive cropping and post-processing on some of my shots, and minimal on others. It all depends on my "vision" - and I use that word loosely.
I'll check out the book.

I was curious about how you conceptualize being "limited by equipment".
In my world the computers we use to do extensive cropping and post-processing are an integral part of my "photography equipment" just as enlargers are.
Apparently you were just referring to the limitations of cameras and lenses, but that is only half the equipment we use.
Photography now is primarily a desk job (I spend far more time sitting in front of a computer finishing images than out in the field taking images) and a computer is as important a piece of equipment as a camera! I own four cameras and three computers dedicated almost solely to image processing.

No I wasn't. At no point was I referring to only cameras and lenses and thought it was quite clear from my original post as I even referred to post-processing. I'm talking about technical limitations, whether they are due to camera, tripod, lighting, enlarger, chemicals, PS, printer, inks, etc.

I guess I don't get your point then. There is nothing that we do that is not limited ultimately by our abilities to exploit the finite capabilities of the equipment that we use. Some exploit those capabilities to a lesser extent and some more, but in the end we are all limited if we want to produce a work of art that has some resemblance to and validity as a photograph. It is merely a matter of degrees.
I asked about your work, because I was curious how one could produce photography that was not ultimately limited by our cameras and processing equipment.

A limit that can be freely ignored is not a limit, it is a habit.
Going back to the cropping debate, one can find examples of excellent photographs in a variety of aspect ratios, from extreme panoramas to square, representing a variety of angles of view from very wide to very narrow telephoto. There is nothing wrong with using the largest possible intersection of the aspect ratio appropriate for the subject and the aspect ratio of the camera to maximize technical excellence, but insisting that all of one's work should closely conform to any arbitrarily-selected aspect ratio is both misguided and narrow-minded, a classic example of a bad habit.
Much of photography involves creative ways of dealing with actual limitations that cannot be ignored without consequences. Shooting in low light without flash is an example. Getting good images in low light requires careful balancing of ISO, shutter speed, and aperture for best results, and learning steady handheld technique is also very useful. It is also desirable to use equipment that imposes the least restrictive limits on shooting in such conditions, such as a good quality DSLR and fast lenses. Carefully balancing all of the different factors and options can deliver surprising results when done with creativity and skill, but ignoring such things will most often simply result in terrible photos; either dark, grainy, blurred, or some combination of these things.

The point is that a lot of photographers revel in the limitations of their equipment, while it would be trivial to overcome those limitations. This holds for those who refuse to crop their photos, do curves adjustments or clone out a seagull in the sky. What I'm curious is to understand why some photographers let their vision be bound by such arbitrary boundaries.

Some don't care or feel the pinch. I know plenty of point and shooters that don't feel challenged in the least by their camera. And if they did, they would back up or get a new camera.
Some enjoy the comfort of a box. I know a fellow who shoots nothing but pinholes. Just likes the challenge. Another uses a Diana.
Some don't understand or know what their equipment can do (how it really works), so they make the box smaller than it really needs to be. Most of us to some degree. That's one reson I use all mechanical equipment. When I get outsmarted, I did it myself instead of by some programmer in Japan.
Or some combination of these. Some call it taste, and taste in indisputable.

I get it now. This is actually a historic argument in photography going back (at least) to 1932 and the disputes between the Pictorialists and the F/64 Group, the proponents of "Straight" photography.
"The name [f/64] referred to the smallest aperture available in large-format view cameras at the time and it signaled the group's conviction that photographs should celebrate rather than disguise the medium's unrivaled capacity to present the world "as it is." As Edward Weston phrased it, "The camera should be used for a recording of life, for rendering the very substance and quintessence of the thing itself, whether it be polished steel or palpitating flesh."

I don't think it is a complacency towards the technical limits of photography, though that is what it seems like. I think it has more to do with the perception of both the authenticity of the image and the skill level of the photographer.
When an image is cropped some believe it is cheating, perhaps removing unwanted elements in the image. It is related to the theme of Michael's article
The second perception (or misperception in this case) is that a "good photographer" will get the composition right in-camera. Correcting it after the fact is like admitting a mistake or a lack of skill.
If you goal is pure aesthetic art then these things should not matter but most artists/photographers do worry about authenticity etc. to a certain degree.

In some ways, shooting and showing an entire frame acts as a suggestion that the photo is "straight" -- that is, that what you see is a mechanical representation of what was in front of the camera. People who insist on straightness have IMHO a good argument for what they are doing: they are trying to represent the world as it is to the best of their ability, to present historical facts. (A historical fact could be a nude woman lying face-down on a sand dune in a blazing sun, carefully composed and exposed.) Once you get away from straightness (my definition of straightness includes relatively unsophisticated improvements like dodging, burning, sharpening and cropping, and the use of camera movements and such techniques as lens blur or movement blur or panning) then you are in a wilderness of mirrors, where you don't know that anything is an actual representation of the world. If you clone out phone wires, and somebody who knows the neighborhood says, "Hey -- there are no phone wires. What else did they change?", what's the answer to that question, especially if it's asked twenty years after the fact and the photographer is dead? You no longer have a historical document, you have a an effort at art; once you clone out phone wires, nothing else in the photo can be taken at face value, because a careful observer knows that he's looking at a construct.
Some place between an absolutely straight photograph and a totally manipulated and 100% fabricated image there's a dividing line between a representation of historical fact and what newspapers now call "photo illustrations." This is one reason that family albums are considered valuable by historical societies. They tend to be the ultimate in straight photography, unmanipulated in any way, a little square or rectangle of an event, with the people portrayed in actual workaday clothing, with cars and wires and birds and cracked concrete all included in the scenes. Given such a photograph, a scientist might be able to come back years later, and given the view and the angle of the sunlight, be able to tell you what day it was taken, make a good guess about weather conditions, about social status of the people portrayed, etc.
In other words, there's a value to straightness. It can be pushed to a fetish-like point, but so can anything; but it is radically different than "photo-illustration," which is essentially an illusion created in soembody's mind, and has no real boundaries.

In many ways, the limitations of our photo equipment define the art, not necessarily in a negative way. What can you acheive within those limitations? Some images are sublime art (I like to put Ansel Adams'

{horizontal} in that category; insert your own favorite) while others are throw-away snapshots. Mastery of craft within the inherent limitations of the medium is a big part of the art, but only leads to sterile exercises in technique unless it's guided by a talented eye.
Robert Frost made a brilliant comment when he was asked about the increasingly popular "free verse" form of poetry. To paraphrase, he stated that poetry without rhyme or meter was like playing tennis without a net. The very limitations that the form and craft impose on us provide the playing field for art.

i like this discussion, it is lively...
here is a thought that pertains to me as a photographer...
my mentor from 20 years ago that taught me how to print black and white had worked the pro labs in los angeles printing for top names in advertising and beyond.
his take on it was you had to have the black border on the print to "prove" you had an outstanding photo from the get-go. he was big into getting it right in the camera so everyone would know what a great eye you had. i fell into this for many years.
now that i shoot digitally (fast forward 15 years) the black border means nothing. i am free to spend less time in the field and play with fine tuning the composition in the computer. and guess what, i can still add the black border when i am done using photoshop. I also find myself cropping my photos to a square format. I manipulate many of my photos to the point of looking like paintings or illustrations. i forcefully use vignetting, dust, scratches, and anything else that tickles my fancy.
my limitation of photography (going back to feppe's first question) was that for years i tried to put myself in a box (literally and figuratively) creatively, and now that that box is gone, i feel i am a better photographer.

This is a theme which can have no resolution. For the discussion to have any level of meaning it has to be assumed that the participants have a fairly good/pretty good! grounding in camera operation and print making, wet and/or digital.
From that basis, I think, you can take the thread forward and discuss why it might be that some of us like to use the camera's natural format as the frame for our photography whilst others do not.
I fall into the camp that does. Using the Nikon's natural format, both the actual camera's physical size and weight as well as its framing arrangement, I have one attitude to the job in hand; when using other, larger formats, I feel totally different as a person and as a photographer. I'm not very sure why this should be so, but it certainly is the case for me. Perhaps part of the reason is that when working, there is usually a pre-ordained size of image required for whatever purpose and that, obviously, decides what goes; as I have mainly been lucky enough to control that, even in commercial situations, I relish the freedom of being able to use the camera's screen as my canvas and just work to suit the shape available, making the most of the shooting time and the on location costs without the added burden of further 'interpretation' clouding both my eye and the job in hand.
In other words, it's simple and practical and works well.

hey there Rob, i have not been ignoring your question, but it has taken me a week to mull it over. i have looked through past images, stared longly at new images, and racked my brain to find out why i use photoshop. i think, in looking at my older images, in which i payed close attention to the view finder (and ground glass-4x5) i think i was perhaps in some ways a better photographer. my images are well composed , well printed, thoughtful, exhibit some emotion, and really look good.
segue into the digital age, and my images turned really sloppy. i took a 2 week trip to europe, and i got a couple of dozen great images, but i shot 2000. 10% is i suppose a great percentage of images, but really, i have taken to photoshop playing to make more of the images that aren't really all that good better. browsing through my computer images, i have really settled into quantity over quality.
some of my photoshop stuff is really good looking, and i have received praise from friends as well as sold several of them, but all of the photoshop images have been rescued mediocre images.
like i mentioned above, i have been having fun exploring the electronic darkroom, and i think the end results are sometimes outstanding, but when it comes down to the original source images, they are frequently completely crummy. i stumbled across the original color snapshot of the Astronomical clock in Prague, which is by far my favorite photoshopped image, and it really is just a snapshot, much like any of the hundreds (or thousands) you could see on flickr.com.
this thread has really gotten me thinking about the viewfinder, and i think on my next outing, as an exercise, i will either shoot film, and only take one or two rolls, or take a 64 meg card in the ol' 30d.
i will probably ramble some more, but i thought i would get some thoughts up.
simple, practical, and works well: hmmm, it's kinda kooky, but it could be fun.
thanks for the insight and inspiration.

You are not the only one lamenting the easiness of producing images with a digital camera - as strange as that sounds to some. I've always suggested the exact solution you are trying: force yourself to shoot less.
I'd like to point out that shooting a lot is a method used by many a professional photographer, even before digital. The oft-quoted ~10,000 images shot for a single National Geographic article is one example. On the other end of the spectrum we have Jim Brandenburg's project where he took only one image for 90 days, and published the whole endeavor as a book: [a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Chased-Light-Jim-Brandenburg/dp/1559716711]http://www.amazon.com/Chased-Light-Jim-Bra...g/dp/1559716711[/url]
My "method" of limiting myself boils down to keeping my camera in the bag, instead of having it hang around my neck. When I see something I'd like to shoot, I take a minute or two to explore different possible angles before I even take the camera out. I often just walk away from a subject.
I have the opposite experience than you do. Sure, my shooting has increased by an order of magnitude since I moved from analog 35mm and 6x6 to a digital SLR. But my best images are of similar or better quality than before digital, if I try to quantify such a thing. One reason for this might be that I shoot a lot in low light, and digital offers much better possibilities for blending, compositing and other tricks to bring out the best in each shot.
I also have the freedom to really explore a subject and take tens or hundreds of frames, later choosing what works best. This obviously can be done on the field - I do mostly travel photography -, but for me it's more convenient to do that after the trip.

I think it is very important that we identify our objectives why we crop or modify pictures. If we intend only to impress people, rather than to educate them, then I think it is wrong.

Homemade honey ice cream is easy to make, and oh-so-delicious! Photos courtesy of National Honey Board.

Honey Ice Cream Recipes
Easy, Gourmet Ice Cream Recipes For Honey Lovers
July is National Ice Cream Month, but do you need an official reason to make a batch of fresh ice cream? It's easy—and nothing tastes better than homemade ice cream fresh from the churn. These gourmet, honey-sweetened ice creams taste so good, you'll only have to make the first batch. Then, family members will volunteer to take over, just to be able to have more!
Honey ice cream tends to be extra rich and creamy due to its high concentration of sugar and lower freezing point. And since honey as a sweetener causes a lower glycemic rise than regular sugar, honey ice cream can be a better choice for those seeking to lower their sugar intake.*
*In patients with type 2 diabetes, natural honey causes a significantly lower rise in blood sugar than either dextrose or sucrose. Within the broad category of honey, some honeys like Black Sage have a high fructose to glucose ratio, which cause an even lower rise. Consult with your healthcare provider.

Honey Ice Cream Menu
*Infusions are flavors that are infused into the milk or cream; then the flavoring element (cinnamon stick, ginger, etc.) is removed. Inclusions is the industry term for what many of us call "mix-ins." Of course, "inclusions" simply means "other things that are included" in the ice cream—nuts, chocolate chips, pieces of fruit, whatever.

I was an original poster on the DD forum boards for something like 6 years and I held our team accountable or at least I tried to and I did not agree with us drafting Ronnie Brown and predicted he would be gone, and that cost me to be revoked and banned for life. I never attacked or insulted anyone, but I am sure you can understand, I was viewed as not being a fan by some.
I went to their site earlier today and saw some fans blasting Ryan Tannehill and stating some harsh stuff.
Anyway, I am struggling with understanding why do fans/people get so bent out of shape with peoples opinions..?
I know you can change your username, but I want to have and establish a history and be held accountable as well.
The only thing I was wrong with, was going after Chad Pennington. He brought us an AFC East title, so I was wrong and admit it.
Anyway, I'd like to hear some thoughts and opinions from other posters as to why this happens, if we're fans...?
I appreciate all replies.
I posted here in this section and not the main board and hope I posted in the right section.

Book time! Cold evenings are made for wrapping up in a snuggly throw and enjoying a good book. Of course, not all books are good, but one has to read them to find that out. Here's what's been occupying my reading time.
"The Patriarch: The Remarkable Life and Turbulent Times of Joseph P. Kennedy" is a biography written very carefully by David Nasaw. It is long and it is comprehensive, and I finished it feeling sorry for Mr. Kennedy but not liking him. True, he was devoted to his children. True, he was hugely successful in business, amassing a fortune so he could endow here and underwrite there and help sway elections by campaign contributions and ensure his children would have no monetary problems so could devote themselves to public service and philanthropy.
The author tells us rumors of Kennedy dealing with the underworld and bootlegging are untrue. His getting import rights to the good Scotch brands enhanced his fortune, but it was legitimate business.
It's when he became the ambassador to the Court of St. James that his stubbornness, his prejudices, his misreading of the intents of the German, Bolshevik, communist, Soviet Union – and other situations – began doing harm. He was tremendously opinionated; that never changed. He knew and courted persons of influence – and should have been recalled from his ambassadorship long before he finally was, though he was allowed to resign.
His ego, which was mighty, was bruised but he finally learned – somewhat – to refrain from spouting off when his opinions might be damaging to his children. But what a beating he took: He really was a loving father, and he lost his first-born, Joe Jr.; he lost Jack; one daughter had a butchered lobotomy; one daughter lost her husband during World War II; another was lost in a plane crash; and Bobby, too, was assassinated.
This is a long book, and occasionally my red pen wished it could make corrections. But I found it difficult to hurry through the book. It provides a fascinating picture of the times Kennedy lived through, including the people we know from either reading history or living through it. His sojourn in Hollywood and participation in picture-making was enlightening and intriguing, and to this day I cannot understand how Rose could have been blind to or uncaring about his numerous infidelities.
Well, in this book we get to know the Kennedy family. Try it; I think you'll learn a lot, as I did.
Completely different is "The Fault in our Stars." I first heard about it from someone I interviewed for my Page Turner column. She said her 17-year-old daughter had insisted she read it, and she was now recommending it. The author is John Green, who can write.
It's the story of Hazel and Augustus, two teenagers who meet at a cancer support group for adolescents. Yes, they both are victims of the disease. Their falling in love, their outlooks, their humor, their shared adventure all make for a beautiful book. Of course, I cried, but I felt very good that I had met these two remarkable young people. The title, of course, is borrowed from Shakespeare. The story is all author Green's.
I read a review of "The Garden of Evening Mists," which led me to reserve it at our library. It's the story of a war-scarred heroine, now a graduate from law school, who asks a famous Japanese gardener to teach her how to create a garden to memorialize her sister, who died in a concentration camp. The story takes place in Malaya, in the Cameron Highlands. The gardener finally, reluctantly takes her on as an apprentice. There she is, a survivor of a Japanese prisoner-of-war camp, working with a former enemy. And she must learn soon because she is suffering from aphasia, which will only worsen as time goes on. The novel has quite a list of interesting characters we meet as the story rolls along. It's worth reading.
Bill Mishler sent me a copy of "The Dovekeepers," which takes place at the time of the Roman siege of Masada. It pictures the Jewish resistance through the eyes and experiences of women! I find the details of what life was like informative and enjoy the biblical references, but I'll reserve judgment because I put it down to read "The Patriarch," a book that had to be returned after being renewed once.
I meant to write about "Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle," a delightful children's book, thoughtfully sent to me by Peggy Heinze, from our library, but I'm out of space. More about that anon. OK?

High Noon (1952)
Suspense/Thriller, Western
This Western classic stars Gary Cooper as Hadleyville marshal Will Kane, about to retire from office and go on his honeymoon with his new Quaker bride, Amy (Grace Kelly). But his happiness is short-lived when he is informed that the Miller gang, whose leader (Ian McDonald) Will had arrested, is due on the 12:00 train. Pacifist Amy urges Will to leave town and forget about the Millers, but this isn't his style; protecting Hadleyburg has always been his duty, and it remains so now. But when he asks for deputies to fend off the Millers, virtually nobody will stand by him. Chief Deputy Harvey Pell (Lloyd Bridges) covets Will's job and ex-mistress (Katy Jurado); his mentor, former lawman Martin Howe (Lon Chaney Jr.) is now arthritic and unable to wield a gun. Even Amy, who doesn't want to be around for her husband's apparently certain demise, deserts him. Meanwhile, the clocks tick off the minutes to High Noon -- the film is shot in real time, so that its 85-minute length corresponds to the story's actual timeframe. Utterly alone, Kane walks into the center of town, steeling himself for his showdown with the murderous Millers. Considered a landmark of the adult western, High Noon won four Academy Awards (including Best Actor for Cooper) and Best Song for the hit, Do Not Forsake Me, O My Darling sung by Tex Ritter. The screenplay was written by Carl Foreman, whose blacklisting was temporarily prevented by star Cooper, one of Hollywood's most virulent anti-Communists. John Wayne, another notable showbiz right-winger and Western hero, was so appalled at the notion that a Western marshal would beg for help in a showdown that he and director Howard Hawks answered High Noon with Rio Bravo (1959).~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

You raise your Sony Handycam® HDR-PJ430V, check the sidewalk in front of you, and run alongside her, aiming the camera at her as you cheer her on. The camera's Balanced Optical Steady-Shot™ feature keeps the shot smooth and even. Of all the day's shots, this one will be the keeper that shows all the emotion of the day. Attaching the optional Wi-Fi® adapter to the camcorder's multi-interface shoe, you connect to your smartphone and upload the shot to Facebook, so that all your friends can share in the triumph of the moment.

With its Intelligent Auto mode seamlessly selecting from almost 180 different scene combinations to make the most of what you're shooting, how can you help but preserve the unique character of your special days? Even in low light, the 'PJ430V shines, with the Sony G™ lens feeding the sensitive back-illuminated Exmor® R sensor. And the 30X optical zoom lens is perfect for getting up close to the action. See it now This camcorder features a built-in projector, so you can see your shots without the need for an external monitor — anywhere you have a bit of darkness and a flat expanse of light-colored wall. Plus, the projector offers an HDMI input, so you can use the camcorder as a projector for other devices with an HDMI output. The Sony Handycam® HDR-PJ430V's optical assembly moves as a unit to control shakes and vibration. Sound to match the video Your friends might notice how realistic the sound is, even in the online clip. If they were sitting in your living room playing it back on an HD monitor in full 5.1-channel surround, they'd be even more impressed. The 'PJ430V offers manual level control, external microphone in/headphone out stereo minijacks, and all of Sony's advanced sound system improvements like wind noise reduction and Closer Voice technology to make the audio presentation of your morning's captures every bit as engaging as the video. Where or when The 'PJ430V has a built-in GPS receiver that will give you your current location on the LCD display, tag your location on your captured video, and set your camcorder's system clock based on your current time zone. A map index screen on the LCD gives you a handy way to browse your travel footage according to where you shot it. Memory for your memories Because this camcorder takes Memory Stick® media and SD cards, you can customize the amount of storage you have — with just a few cards you'll have hours upon hours of capacity waiting for when you need it. If you don't have any cards on hand, not to worry; this camcorder has 32GB of flash memory on-board, for up to 11 hours of HD video storage in LP mode. And the 'PJ430V will also copy your memories to an external hard drive without the aid of a computer. For that, you'll need an optional USB adapter cable available from Sony (the VMC-UAM1 cable). Here's another trick: you can access media on that hard drive using the 'PJ430V's handy playback controls, and display those files on your HDTV via an HDMI connection from the camcorder.

I was concerned that this camera would not replace the picture quality I had with my old "tape" camera with 3CCD. I was totally wrong. This camera has true quality video and still pictures. I have tried each phase from HDD to STD and couldn't be happier. I have not gone to Blue Ray but that is due to my editing program, and older Pinnacle Ultimate v 14. The Sony program is not being used. To have the capabilaty of view the picture with the built in projector is a real plus. I have been recording the life history of some of our senior citizens and they can see the interview results immediately. I can edit out anything they are uncomfortable with before I burn their DVD. I did have to purchase and shoe adapter to mount my old microphone (which was a Sony) but that is is only drawback. So far, the battery life is great too. Pros: Outstanding picture quality even in the Standard mode Ability to project results immediately a real plus Cons: Propietary hot shoe 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent picture quality, great features Written By Jeff, Concord, CA on Monday, April 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I've only had this for about a week, but so far I am very impressed. This is the first major purchase for me without reading a review. I waited several weeks but couldn't find one review, so I bought based on its features and on the consistently high Sony camcorder reviews. I'm actually not a fan of Sony, but they seem to make the best camcorder in this price rage. As you can see by the specs, this camera has just about every feature you could want and more so I won't go into the feature set. Yes, I wish it had a viewfinder but those are pretty rare these days. The touch screen isn't very responsive but it gets the job done. The video quality is outstanding. Initially I was disappointed until I realized the default factory setting was LP mode. Once you set is at the highest resolution you will be amazed. The stated recording time of 11 hours is based on the LP mode; the highest resolution recording time with the internal memory is about 2:45. The USB cable built into the strap is nice, but I have concerns that over time it may become frayed or loose. It's the only means of getting data off the camcorder so if it breaks, you're in trouble. There is a hot-shoe accessory that has wi-fi but I don't know much about that yet. The biggest drawback is the USB cord in only about two inches. You'll want to buy an extender immediately because otherwise you need to hold the camera up next to your computer. The camera is light but still too heavy to dangle from the USB cord 19 out of 20 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The 13-lumen DLP projector is built into the LCD panel, and is powerful enough to project a 100" diagonal screen. It has an output resolution of 640 x 360, and a throw distance of 1.6' and over. The camcorder features an HDMI input for connecting an external device to project photos and videos. With a fully charged battery pack, the PJ430V can project continuously for about 100 minutes. Memory Card Slot: The HDR-PJ430V Full HD camcorder can record video and photos onto Memory Stick PRO Duo and PRO-HG Duo cards up to 32 GB in capacity, as well as Class 4 or faster SD, SDHC, and SDXC Memory Cards up to 64 GB. Built-in Memory: In addition to memory cards, you can record movies and photos onto the camcorder's 32 GB built-in flash memory. Because a portion of the flash memory is used for system management, map, and/or application files, the actual usable media capacity is approximately 28.1 GB. The built-in memory can store over 11 hours of high-definition video (LP mode), or 2-1/2 hours of Full HD 1080p video (PS mode). 3.0" LCD Touch Screen: The 3.0" Clear Photo Plus LCD touch screen provides excellent viewing clarity with improved resolution. The 230,000 pixel (960 x 240) LCD screen rotates up to 270 degrees for multiple viewing angles providing sharp and detailed images for monitoring or playback. You can navigate through the menu system by touching the icons on the screen. The LCD also features an adjustable brightness and color level. You can also power on this camcorder by simply opening its LCD display. There is no separate viewfinder on this camcorder. Imaging Device: The HDR-PJ430V features an advanced 1/3.91" (4.6mm) back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS imaging sensor with 5,430,000 gross pixels. The 2,230,000 effective video pixels provide excellent detail and clarity. The unique image processing system of Sony's BIONZ allows still image resolution equivalent to a maximum of 8.9 megapixels (3984 x 2240). Sony G Lens: The camcorder features a professional-quality, wide angle Sony G lens. Sony G lenses deliver superior optical performance with brilliant, accurate color reproduction and sharp, detailed images. In both the Photo and Video modes, the 26.8mm focal length provides exceptional wide-angle shooting. Step Down Ring: The camcorder's lens has a filter diameter of 46mm. It comes with a Step Down Ring lets you attach optical filters with a diameter of 37mm. Zoom: The camcorder's maximum optical zoom depends upon the SteadyShot setting. With the setting at Active, the optical zoom is 30x. If SteadyShot is set to Active the maximum optical zoom is 55x (Extended Zoom). Combined with the digital zoom, the total zoom capability is 350x. Because the digital zoom processes the image digitally, the picture quality deteriorates the more you zoom in. The power zoom lever can be moved slightly for a slow zoom, or moved further for a faster zoom. Global Positioning System: The PJ430V is equipped with a built-in GPS which receives location data from any of the 24 GPS satellites located above the earth and records it onto your movies and photos. You can record location information on movies or photos, and use the data to display a map of your current location. The Map View function lets you play movies and photos by searching for them on a map. The camcorder can use the GPS data to automatically set the clock and the time zone. Balanced Optical SteadyShot: Standard SteadyShot compensates for camera shake by shifting the lens. On the PJ430V, Balanced Optical SteadyShot moves the entire optical block at once, which maintains the integrity of the optical path, and improves shake reduction by 13x. You can choose from Standard and Active modes. Multi-Interface Shoe: The top-mounted Multi-Interface Shoe lets you quickly and easily attach a wide assortment of accessories, including video lights and microphones. With the optional ADP-WL1M1 Wi-Fi Adapter, you can turn your smartphone or tablet into a remote control for the camcorder, or instantly share your videos and photos online using your smartphone or tablet. Face Detection: The camcorder's Face Detection technology recognizes faces and optimizes the camera settings for videos and still photos. Videos and photos recorded using Face Detection are indexed according to the faces detected in each scene. This allows you to search for what you want by selecting the faces displayed in the index. Focus Modes: The Sony Handycam HDR-PJ430V features Auto Focus and Manual Focus modes. When using Auto Focus, you can choose to focus on a subject in the center of the screen. For more difficult focusing situations, you can manually adjust the focus of the camcorder.

A proposal to disguise a power-converting substation for the Purple Line as a house isn't fooling residents of the Seven Oaks Evanswood community.
Maryland Transit Administration plans to build a power-converting substation for the Purple Line rail system on the corner of Wayne Avenue and Cloverfield Road. The facility would be 50 feet by 14 feet, but transit officials said surrounding it by trees, and a wooden fence would blend the substation into the neighborhood, making it look like just another home.
But residents of the area are concerned about the constant noise, and the potential lack of maintenance on such large unoccupied stand-alone structure called by many a "fake house."
"That's like the simple and least complicated way to hide [it]," said Anne Edwards, who lives a few doors down from the proposed Wayne Avenue substation. She said the area is saturated with single-family houses, a middle school and a senior living community.
The Evanswood Citizens' Association sent a letter to Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett, Montgomery County Councilwoman Valerie Ervin and the manager of the Purple Line project, Michael Madden, in early June saying they "voted unanimously" to object to the Purple Line electrical transformer anywhere above ground in their "overwhelmingly single-family residential neighborhoods, no matter how its facade might be disguised." The group requested that the substation be buried underground or move to another location.
"It is like an industrial installation," Edwards said. She said she is worried about the size, potential crime- since it is going to be an unoccupied space, constant noise and regular maintenance tasks such as trash pick-up, overgrown grass, and trimming trees.
Transit planners said the space will be maintained on a regular basis by state contractors and noise will be minimal.
"Less than a noise of an air conditioner. ... We don't believe noise is an issue," said Madden.
There are 20 proposed traction power substations that will provide power along the Purple Line. These structures will have an enclosed metal compartment without any exposed electrical parts. According to officials, other residential and commercial areas such as Montgomery Avenue in Bethesda, Lyttonsville near the edge of the Ride On facility and wooded area east of Stewart Avenue, and the corner of Flower Avenue and Arliss Street are also being considered for the power-converting substation, and the disguise for each will be determined once officials are further along in their analyses.
Madden said he did not know about the Evanswood letter, but is aware of the residents' wishes for the substation to be buried or reduced in size.
"That's ongoing; we don't have an answer for these two requests at this point," Madden said.
The Purple line is a $2.2 billion light rail project that will cross 16 miles to connect Bethesda and New Carrollton, passing through many communities along the way.
According to Madden, the Wayne Avenue substation, between Cloverfield Road and Greenbrier Drive, is the best location for safety and operations.
"Most of the property is owned by the county... [and] you need a certain amount of space and there is a good amount of space at this location," Madden said.
He explained the underground option is more expensive, but he could not say how much the state would spend since the MTA is still analyzing all possibilities.
Edwards disagrees.
"All things are possible. ... It is what you are willing to put in," she said "MTA has some very smart engineers...[and] we know they can bury. It is physically possible," she said, adding "We think we are worth it and we hope the governor does, too."
The community believes officials can find a better solution.
"It is going to be larger than the single family homes," said Jean Cavanaugh, president of the Seven Oaks Evanswood Citizens' Association, adding that it is not an unreasonable request to bury it. "This is really a small thing to ask."

The power of 80 volunteers and one determined Eagle Scout
When 15-year-old Andrew L. began to brainstorm the topic of his Eagle Scout Project, he knew it had to benefit his community. But, not just any task would suffice; inspired by a TOMS community event the prior year, he wanted it to make a big impact in the lives of others. After hearing about a family who fosters children with disabilities that had recieved a donation of an unassembled playground that was still in pieces in their backyard, Andrew knew he had found his project. However, in order to succeed, he knew he would need to enlist the support of his friends, neighbors and family for engineering expertise, hardware and helping hands. After rallying his community Andrew and 40 others we able to assemble the playground in four days and watch as the family's kids got to play on it for the first time. Upon reflecting on his experience, Andrew expressed that what had started as a project to earn his Eagle Scout ranking turned into so much more. "What a feeling...I have learned that all things are possible and we CAN change the world, no matter what age we are. Thanks TOMS for being such a great inspiration to so many!"

En español | If you watch TV or read magazines, you could easily conclude that men seeking treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED) have but one option: pills. The three dominant brands — Cialis, Levitra and Viagra — are locked in an expensive battle for men's allegiances, and have, through their suggestive advertising, triggered both satire and controversy in the 14 years since the Food and Drug Administration approved Viagra.
But steamy commercials aside, what if the pills don't work for you, as is the case in 25 to 30 percent of men with ED, or they stop working after a few years — a common problem for men whose ED is caused by an underlying cardiovascular condition?
"A lot of patients think that pills will give them complete restoration," says Ajay Nehra, M.D., a urology professor at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine in Rochester, Minn. But many patients instead find that even if they take the pills, they are "not the same" sexually as they were before the onset of their ED, he says.
If you are among the men who want — or need — to try other therapies for ED, here are the three main options, some of which are cheaper and more effective than the pills. All costs stated below will vary, depending on your insurance plan.
Before pursuing ED treatments, though, bear in mind that improving heart health by losing weight, eating a healthier diet, exercising more and quitting smoking typically enhances erectile performance as well as one's overall health. In addition, sex therapy counseling sessions can often ease or eradicate ED symptoms, if the underlying cause is psychological in nature, says Drogo Montague, M.D., director of the Center for Genitourinary Reconstruction at the Cleveland Clinic.
1. Vacuum erection device (penis pump)
Penis pumps produce erections by drawing blood, via air suction, into the penis. The devices consist of a cylindrical tube, 12 to 18 inches long, connected by a small air hose to a hand pump (on many models this resembles the squeeze mechanism on a blood pressure monitor). Users place the tube over the penis then pump to produce an erection. They must then place an elastic band around the base of the penis to keep the blood there and maintain the erection.
"Obviously this isn't the most spontaneous thing," says Tobias Kohler, M.D., assistant professor of urology at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. "You can imagine someone having sex with a partner for the first time and pulling out this lunch box."
While the pumps produce erections for 90 percent of users, most abandon it for other treatments, says Trinity J. Bivalacqua, M.D., assistant professor of urology and oncology at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institution.
The pumps are "very cumbersome and clumsy," Bivalacqua says. Despite reliably producing erections, pumps have the lowest satisfaction rate of any erectile dysfunction treatments. "In my practice, most men who try it will say, 'Not for me,' " he adds.
Insurers typically cover 80 percent of the roughly $500 cost for a prescription pump, leaving consumers with around $100 in out-of-pocket expenses.
If you opt for a pump, experts say it's important to get one through a doctor's prescription. The pumps sold in sex shops tend to be novelty items that don't work and may even cause injuries.
