A sleepy coastal village at the estuary of three rivers, the Esk, Mite and Irt, RAVENGLASS is best known for being the starting point for the wonderful narrow-gauge Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway. It's worth taking some time to look around, though, before hopping on the train or heading out to Muncaster Castle, the other main local attraction. The single main street preserves a row of characterful nineteenth-century cottages facing out across the estuarine mud flats and dunes – the northern section, across the Esk, is a nature reserve where black-headed gulls and terns are often seen (get there by crossing over the mainline railway footbridge).

Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway
Ravenglass and Eskdale RailwayOpened in 1875 to carry ore from the Eskdale mines to the coastal railway, the 15-inch-gauge track of the Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway winds seven miles up through the Eskdale Valley to Dalegarth Station near Boot. The ticket lets you break your journey and get off and take a walk from one of the half-dozen stations en route; the full return journey, without a break, takes an hour and forty minutes. Another really good day out is to take your bike up on the train and cycle back from Dalegarth down the traffic-free Eskdale Trail.

Space Florida is responsible for advocating the needs of Florida's space industry to the Florida Legislature and Congress. Legislative support is critical to accomplishing the mission of Space Florida. Funding for spaceport infrastructure, financing and business development by the Florida Legislature has been crucial to Space Florida's successes. Over $100 million have been appropriated by the Florida Legislature in the past 6 years, proving that the state of Florida is fully supportive of growing both the civil and commercial space industry.
Additionally, significant policy shifts have taken place in favor of Florida at both the state and federal level since Space Florida's creation. In 2008 Florida adopted spaceflight informed consent laws. In 2011, manufacturers and suppliers were exempted from liability due to the inherent risk of spaceflight. Also, in 2011 the Florida Legislature passed tax credits specific to the space industry. In 2012 space was further incorporated into the Florida Department of Transportation with spaceports currently funded within the five year work program.
Jan. 9, 2012 Tallahassee Democrat
Many challenges and exciting changes are ramping up for the space industry in Florida as work continues on the future of space exploration. More than ever, the state needs to be aggressive in creating a robust atmosphere for space business.
Florida has the third-largest space industry in the United States and ranks fourth in the nation for space-based employment. The aerospace industry impacts almost every county. Preserving and fostering this high-tech industry requires unified action by industry and local, state and federal government officials.
Florida is open for business and stands to harvest many new innovations created from investments in the aerospace industry. Future business and employment opportunities must be generated to ensure we hold and leverage a world-class workforce. In addition, the space business brings in cutting-edge research and development of global significance inspiring Florida's future scientists and engineers.
On Wednesday, I am partnering with my colleagues in the space industry to speak with state leaders in Tallahassee. It is critical that Florida's legislators, local elected officials and the business community work together to lead America's next chapter in space exploration; attract new business by offering incentives to create a vibrant 21st century aerospace community; and position Florida to capture innovative national and international space-related business to stimulate the economy.
Failure to act now will mean missed opportunities to grow the state's high tech economy. Florida's must remain a world-class aerospace business location.
We need to capture and keep the future of space thriving in the state. Legislative support is critical now to harness the next big step for mankind and keep our leading edge as the number one place for space.

That's the good word, people! That's the word you've all been waiting for. Or, to put it another way, that's the word for which you've all been waiting.
You don't know what I'm talking about? You must be one of the half-dozen who don't read my stuff on a regular basis. If you did, you'd know I'm talking about the piece entitled "Led by the spirit" which appeared in The Telegram and the Western Star on Saturday, Dec, 5, and other papers the following week.
In that column, I challenged readers to tell me what they thought I was talking about. You first-timers should understand that I write at such a highly intellectual and spiritual level that only the brightest and the best can read and understand me. If you are not in that elite group, that explains why you don't know what I'm talking about now.
I also said there was one word I was looking for, and if someone could identify it, I would add a third book to the two I was already giving to the two people who understood that column best (yes, I am an extremely generous person). I thought there might be one or two at the highest echelons of the university, or in the provincial Liberal caucus, who might rise to that challenge.
The word I was looking for was "capricious."
Capricious means unpredictable, fickle and erratic. I once had a girl like that.
In my column, I was trying to point out that in the hands of a capricious or unreliable fate, our puny human efforts have no guarantee of working out the way we want or expect. The young woman worked lovingly and hard to turn her husband's wayward life around. She had the full expectation that everything would be fine if that came to be.
But almost immediately he lost his life and her efforts were all for naught. Ironically, he would've been better off had she left him alone. Many husbands are in that category.
My friend and I, in dividing what was left of our merchandise, were deliberately working towards a chaotic conclusion. There was no attempt to make it all work out evenly. To the contrary, we fully expected everything to be random and without any organization, especially financial.
So what happens? Everything worked out so beautifully balanced that we couldn't believe it!
In both instances, fate seemed to be mocking the intentions of the people involved. If fate wasn't deliberately undoing our efforts, it was at the very least being capricious.
The title of that column, "Led by the Spirit," was suggested by my father's habit of invoking the spirit whenever he was required to make a decision with which he wasn't totally happy or comfortable. His normal response to such was, "I'll do that if the spirit moves me."
"Going to St. John's tomorrow, Dad?"
"If the spirit moves me."
"You need a new suit, Alex," says my mother. "How about we go to the clothing store?"
"If the spirit moves me."
It was notable that the spirit - I was never sure whether or not 'spirit' should be spelled with a capital S - was never invoked when the option was to do something Father himself really wanted to do.
"Going fishing tomorrow morning, Dad?
"Yes my son! Got the bait cut and the boat gassed up!"
It seemed that he only needed guidance when the situation involved something he didn't want to do. In that sense, then, the spirit was never as capricious with my father as fate seemed to be with other people. If he decided not to go to St. John's, it was because the spirit didn't move him to go.
As far as fishing and hunting were concerned, for example, the spirit didn't enter into it at all. My mother used to remark that Father and the Spirit were always in total agreement with each other. She never knew the spirit to advise him to do something he didn't want to do.
My characterization of fate in the other column was based on the old quote, "Man plans and the gods laugh." In short, it makes little difference what we attempt to do in this life. Crap can happen entirely independently of our best efforts.
That's a far cry from believing hard work and careful planning will ultimately lead to success and the good life. Sometimes it does; sometimes it doesn't. Whatever, you have to decide whether or not God had a hand in it if it worked out, or didn't, and that's why things went to pieces. Or if, and how, God decides to get involved in any of it.
As we begin another decade, it's a matter of opinion, I guess, as to how much an impersonal fate does rule our lives to the exclusion of all else. Or if there is a wise and all-powerful deity who plans and decides things for us.
In short, is life simply a matter of ducking as many bullets as we can, or living out the plan someone has for us?
You pays your money and you takes your choice.
You're wondering who came closest to identifying the point in that other column.
Most people knew I was talking about fate, but thought I was being a little more optimistic than I really was.
OK, drumroll please! The two winners are Fred Dalley of Embree, and Guy Mitchell of Hant's Harbour.
No one came up with "fickle" or "capricious," by the way. I would have accepted either one. Several people suggested "fate" and "destiny." Both were good choices, but they were not the words I thought were the focus of the column. Anyway, they weren't what I had in mind at the time.
Thanks to all who did get involved in this little exercise. I enjoyed reading your letters and hearing your ideas.
A Happy New Year to everyone from OH and me.

Chautauqua Opportunities is giving fathers an opportunity to create with their child.
On Thursday, Chautauqua Opportunities held its monthly "Dedicated Dads" event, encouraging fathers to take an active role in bonding with their children.
"We've been doing this for a while," said Mike Tobio, Chautauqua Opportunities life skills facilitator and male involvement coach. "Tonight we're making birdhouses - every month we tried to bring a new activity. We started by just hosting movie nights, but they weren't very well attended. We tried hands-on projects instead, and that started to become popular, so that's the direction we're going to go in. We really just started it as a way to try to get dads more involved, but in the meantime we also let everyone know what Chautauqua Opportunities has to offer them, should they ever need any services from us. It's really a win-win for everyone.

"We're just trying to get guys involved, because they tend to get overlooked in the early education of a child," continued Tobio. "That's not to say we would turn away a grandmother or mother that wanted to stop in, but we certainly want to put the spotlight on the guys."
As mentioned, participants assembled and painted birdhouses with their children. The event is completely free of charge for participants, and guests have the convenience of staying for all or just part of the event.
The event took place at the Winifred Crawford Dibert Boys and Girls Club, who partners with Chautauqua Opportunities to make Dedicated Dads possible.
"We have an agreement," said Tobio. "They've been a great partner in this whole thing."
Tobio said that the program averages about 12 father-son combinations per event, but hopes that more and more fathers capitalize on the event once word spreads more.
"We have a grandfather-grandson combination that comes every month," said Beth Lanphere, also with Chautauqua Opportunities. "They have a really great time every month, and we'd love to see more (duos) come enjoy the event every month."
And all of the pairs that attended on Thursday really enjoyed building a birdhouse.
"It creates a project for you to do with your child," said Joe Pollino, who attended with his 5-year-old son Zaidan. "It was really great over the winter when you can't really play outdoors."
Zaidan didn't want to talk to a stranger, however it was evident that he was enjoying himself as he painted his birdhouse a bright shade of red.
Meanwhile, 10-year-old Ian Winkler and his grandfather Paul Pearson were also assembling a birdhouse.
"I'm painting mine camouflage so it can hide in the tree," said Winkler. "We have a crabapple tree in the backyard and I'm going to put it in there."
"This is a really great even to be able to come to, because it gives me an opportunity to spend some time with Ian," said Pearson. "I have 10 grandkids, so finding time for everyone is hard. This gives me an opportunity to spend time with him one-on-one."
Chautauqua Opportunities holds Dedicated Dads at the Boys and Girls Club on the first Thursday of every month from 6:30-8 p.m., and at the Dunkirk Connections North on the third Thursday of every month from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
For more information, call Chautauqua Opportunities at 661-9430.

Tim Herron had no problem corralling his band mates from around the state to visit The Post-Standard studio to play Tim Herron Corporation's original song "One and Done."
Herron, from Camillus, calls himself a proud West Genesee man. He's in his 11th year leading the band he started with bass player Eric McElveen. McElveen keeps on thumping even though he's moved to Queens. Percussionist Dave Salce lives in the southern tier town of Newfield. Pedal steel guitarist Patrick Strain calls Binghamton home.
"We're all from here," says Herron, a singer, guitarist, harmonica player and songwriter who's lived in Marcellus his whole life. "Dave is from Cortland. That's Central New York. Eric is from Parish. That's Central New York. Patrick is from Binghamton. Well, that's south."
Rehearsals can be long distance, Herron says.
"The Internet plays a big role in practice," he says.
For instance, the band polished "One and Done" for the syracuse.com Music Notes Performance series rather quickly. Herron wrote the song just two days before they played it in The Post-Standard studio.
"One and Done" is about the frustrations that can be found by muscians who choose to stay in the Syracuse-area music scene.
But ...
"It's not a bad Syracuse song. It's a realization song," Herron says. "It's about why I stayed here."
He thinks it's a great place to perform in front of devoted music lovers.
"I'd say the live gigs keep us going," he says. "The live shows have been so good lately. The fans here respond fantastic."
Tim Herron Corporation will play as part of the first Syracuse Original Music Experience show, at 8 p.m. Feb. 12 at the Lost Horizon in Syracuse. Also on the two-stage bill are Joe Driscoll, The Siders, Mike Powell, Merit, Sophistafunk, Elephant Mountain and Los Blancos.
"It's a great idea. It's going to be so diverse," Herron says of the lineup, put together by series founders Joe Altier of Elephant Mountain and Steven T. Winston of Los Blancos. "It's going to be a big night."

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The way the ball bounces across the nation's high school basketball gyms lies largely in the hands of an Ohioan.
Ohio High School Athletic Association Commissioner Dan Ross was elected to the National Federation of State High School Association's Basketball Rules Committee this year.
In two weeks, Ross and seven members of the committee will meet in Indianapolis to discuss pretty hefty topics on the table.
Two of those topics include the possibility of a shot clock and 18-minute halves, instead of four quarters.
Ross would not directly say if he was in favor or not of the two topics, but did say he and OHSAA basketball liaison Jerry Snodgrass sent surveys asking coaches across the state and the section, as well as the president of the Ohio Basketball Coaches Association, to affirm or deny the possible changes. The OHSAA is awaiting those responses, which Ross will take to the meeting in Indianapolis.
"The wonderful thing is you have some wonderful opportunities to represent our coaches when they say, 'We would really like this or this,'" Ross said in an interview with the Northeast Ohio Media Group. "You get a chance to be right at the table and say 'This is something our coaches feel very, very strong about and they would really like, or they don't like this.'"
Another of Ross' roles is to represent the section, while bringing bigger issues to the forefront that he feels need to be addressed.
"If there are suggestions for rules that you believe are going to make the game better, then you certainly have the opportunity to (bring them forward)," Ross said. "And then you have the opportunity to either affirm or deny suggestions people bring to the table that you think are either going to help or hinder the game."
The OHSAA commissioner is used to hearing people's suggestions. Just last month, Ross felt the backlash, positive and negative, when he named two hockey teams co-state champions after seven overtimes and more than 140 minutes of ice time.
"This committee is a wonderful opportunity to help give back," Ross said, while wearing a 'Children First' lapel pin. "You get to be a part, and especially if you like the sport. And I love the sport of basketball. I think it touches a lot of kids' lives and you have an opportunity to make that better."
The NFHS places each state into one of eight sections. Ross will represent Section 2, which includes Ohio, Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia. Ross will serve a four-year term. The OHSAA was not certain the last time a member of its organization was part of the NFHS Basketball Rules Committee.
Ross has been on several other committees. He is currently in his third year with the NFHS Hall of Fame Screening Committee and he was formerly the chair of the NFHS Strategic Planning Committee. A former basketball official, as well as a former assistant coach for Portsmouth, Ross has dealt with the ins and outs of basketball for many years prior to his 10-year tenure leading the OHSAA.
There are 800-plus high schools in the OHSAA. The only other states with more high schools are California, located in Section 7, and Texas, located in Section 6.
A majority of Ohio high schools have both boys and girls basketball. That means Ross and Snodgrass can receive basketball inquiries from more than 1,600 Ohio high school coaches, as well as those team's parents, players, extended family and fans.
"There's a sizeable portion of people that you can get some great input from to take (to the NFHS)," Ross said. "So Ohio a lot of the time ends up being in that mix … just for the simple fact of we have an awful lot of schools and an awful lot of kids."
So what if there were ever a chance for him to impact those schools and kids as part of a NFHS Hockey Rules Committee?
"Oh, I would love doing that one," he said with a smile and a chuckle. "Hey, I'd love that one."

If you are a school superintendent or administrator and have to make a decision about drugs in school, what do you say? The phrase zero tolerance comes to mind in many school districts. School is a place to learn and having polices that are not clear about drug use is not a good practice. Students need to get a clear message about the inappropriateness of drug use and these messages must start from 9 years old through high school. High school students have already decided one way or another about drug use but the message to pre-teens, if offered without hyperbole, may take root. The question is, "how has this been working?"
We seem to be swimming upstream on the drug use
issue. If you doubt that, just ask the
DEA and other law enforcement bodies about the amount of drugs coming in from
The recent explosion in the abuse of addictive pain killers is an example of supply and demand. Because there is such a demand to continue to 'get high' from the use of pain killers, doctors will come forward to meet that demand. Part of the problem is a growing problem of Caucasian women from the suburbs addicted to pain killers who are prolonging their use beyond the recommended time frame and sometimes switching to heroin to satisfy their habits when their supply dries up.
The demand for drugs is now coming from elementary and high school students as well. Some adults don't even realize that their child is taking their pain killers on the shelf in the bathroom, and eventually becoming addicted! Shall we allow this to continue at all? Of course not so the phrase "zero tolerance" was born. The question still is, "how has this been working?"
Zero tolerance alone will not work with drugs. How do we speak out against youth prescription drug abuse when we adults are often the perpetrators of the problem? We want our children to do what we won't do and it's not about waiting until you are the legal age. What some adults are doing with their prescription drug abuse and addiction is very dangerous at any age no matter how many uninformed and unscrupulous doctors see fit to continue prescribing the addictive drugs.
According to a recent article in Partnership at Drug Free.org, zero tolerance "policies came about as the result of the Gun-Free Schools Act of 1994, which required states that received federal funds to mandate that local school districts expel students who bring a weapon to school for a minimum of one year. School districts around the country have created their own interpretations of how to handle less severe offenses, ranging from bringing illegal drugs to school to possession of over-the-counter medication.
The newspaper notes 94 percent of American schools have zero-tolerance policies for weapons or firearms, 87 percent for alcohol, and 79 percent for violence or tobacco."
Here is the link for that article:
The solution to drugs in schools won't be found in zero
tolerance policies nor will it come from school administrators or parents or
police and law enforcement or treatment programs or from spiritual guidance, or
from the students themselves. It will
not come from professionals like me either.
Putting all of these groups together and listening to all points of view
and all arguments including but not limited just to the students, is the place
to start. But progress towards a
solution for student drug use won't come from yet another dozen meetings for
which no one has the time. It may not
even come from what worked in one school in
So what can be done? Considering the persistent and pesky nature of drug use and abuse by people from all backgrounds, and considering that this has been going on for over 6,000 years, the first step is to be realistic with any objectives and goals that we establish. Our plan should embrace a school and town wide approach to the problem. The phrase "zero tolerance" is a bad start since it implies that if you deal or use drugs, any drugs in any quantity, you will be discharged from school and you may face legal discipline and other harsh sanctions. It's not so much that the sanctions are harsh but rather that they are short sited and based on the notion of retribution and discipline rather than rational thinking and collaboration.
The entire community, with professional guidance, needs to work towards a solution or a clearly delineated plan, and this shall include parents, teachers, students, and a wide representation of local citizens. Zero tolerance for drugs should not mean throwing students out of school or other similar self defeating or degrading sanctions. Rather the student(s) involved should have a major role in designing their own discipline and learning experience, complete with regular urine testing and possibly counseling for a period of time. The police should decide if there is a reportable offense and if this requires an arrest. Prosecution of this offense may be delayed based on the improvement of the student and clean urines. Eventually there would be an option to dismiss the charge. Student generated and faculty approved discipline measures imposed for a semester is an option that should be reviewed.

SHELBY COUNTY, Alabama -- Depending on where students live in and around Alabaster, incoming kindergarteners and sixth-graders will begin the transition between Shelby County's educational system and the city's district starting this fall.
The Shelby County Board of Education took action during its Thursday night meeting on determination of the Alabaster zone that's part of process for students in the two specified grades to begin attending the proper schools depending on where they reside.
Kindergarteners and sixth-graders starting in the school year 2014-'15 will either attended Alabaster schools if they live within the city's limits or Shelby County's schools if they reside in the unincorporated area around the municipality. Pelham is continuing to negotiate its separation from Shelby County's school system.
"Beginning with the 2014-2015 school year this affects incoming kindergarteners who live in unincorporated areas of the Alabaster zone and current fifth graders who will exit the Alabaster schools into Shelby County 6th grades," Shelby County Deputy Superintendent Tom Ferguson said in a memo to the board.
For those residing in Shelby County's district, "Incoming kindergarteners and graduating fifth graders will be rezoned to Helena, Montevallo, Calera, Columbiana and a small portion to Pelham," Ferguson said in the memo.
Shelby County Board of Education Transportation Coordinator Kevin Snowden emphasized that anyone with questions concerning the district for which they're zoned and which school they will attend should call him at 682-7130. "We can answer it in less than a minute," Snowden said after the meeting.
When Alabaster separated from the Shelby County School District last year, part of the agreement included a transitional period starting in the 2014-'15 academic year for students entering kindergarten and sixth grade to begin attending the schools where they are zoned.
"This redesign of the 'Alabaster zone' is necessary to address the children in unincorporated areas of the Alabaster zone that will be attending Shelby County Schools as defined in the separation agreement," Ferguson said in the memo.
The agreement included a six-year transitional period for students between Alabaster and Shelby County schools. The first year that's under way left students without any change in all grades.
"Alabaster children were told if they attend Alabaster schools they can stay" this year, Ferguson said after the meeting. "Then the separation agreement outlines that children as they exit fifth grade would go to their zoned school and incoming kindergarteners ... would go to their zoned school if they live in unincorporated Shelby County" starting this fall.
Under the separation agreement, children who are in the sixth grade this year can continue in the Alabaster system until they graduate from high school.
The transition will continue to eventually include grades from kindergarten through 12th by the fall 2020 academic year, when all students who do not reside in Alabaster's area will attend the proper schools for which they are zoned.

I've noticed we now have a post "edit history" feature to track every poster's edits to their posts. Isn't this a little over the top? As a professional editor and writer I do a lot of editing (nitpicking) of my own posts and I don''t necessarily want the whole world to see what a freakin' nitpicker I am about my own writings. In fact, moreso than I ever was back in the day when I was a curmudgeonly Speeling & Gramer cop -- you guys got off light!
IMO, just because we have a new vBulletin feature doesn't mean we have to use it.
Two questions:
1. Is there a good reason for forcing a universally viewable edit history on all users?
2. Why don't users have the option to disable the feature under "User Options"?

MONTGOMERY, Alabama --- A bill to add new regulations for abortion clinics is the first one on the debate agenda in the Alabama Senate and has cleared a procedural vote.
The bill has already passed the House of Representatives. The Senate adopted an amendment by Sen. Harri Anne Smith, I-Slocomb. That means the bill will have to return to the House before it can get final passage.
The Senate passed the budget isolation resolution on the bill, a procedural vote, 24-8.
Sen. Linda Coleman, D-Birmingham, spoke in opposition to the bill.
Sen. Scott Beason, R-Gardendale, is sponsoring the bill in the Senate and spoke in support of the bill.
Coleman questioned Republican support for the bill, contrasting it with opposition to the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obama Care.
Coleman said Republicans opposed to the Affordable Care Act typically say they don't want government in the health care business.
"What about women?" she asked. "Do we not have the same right? Do we not have the same choice?"
Advocates of the bill say its purpose is to improve safety for women who have abortions. Coleman disagreed.
"It's about denying me the choice of when I want to begin a family," Coleman said.

DOVER — A Dover man's confession to sexually assaulting a 4-year-old girl who contracted a sexually transmitted disease has been ruled inadmissible by a Superior Court judge in Morristown.
The video-recorded confession by Thilock Johnson, now 31, was not voluntary because he had asked to go home to take a shower and wanted to continue questioning the next day, but a detective "prodded" him to keep talking, Judge Thomas Manahan ruled.
Johnson was indicted on charges of aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault and child endangerment. The case began after the girl, someone he knew, was diagnosed in May 2008 with chlamydia, the most frequently reported bacterial sexually transmitted disease in the United States.
Johnson tested positive for chlamydia in June 2008 and was interviewed by two detectives on Oct. 6, 2008, according to Manahan's decision.
During the more than 6-hour interview, Johnson initially did not admit any wrongdoing, Manahan said. Detective Dan Haber of the Morris County Prosecutor's Office then asked Johnson take a polygraph examination.
Johnson said, "I really want to go home, take a shower," and Haber responded, "I think this may be a little more important," according to Manahan's ruling.
"After some prodding, Detective Haber convinced (Johnson) to take the polygraph that night," and Detective Terrance Tennant of the State Police was brought in to administer the polygraph, Manahan said.
Tennant later "confronted" Johnson with the fact that he had "failed" the polygraph and during additional interrogation with Tennant, Johnson admitted to sexually assaulting the girl, Manahan said.
Manahan said Johnson had shown an "unmistakably expressed desire to stop the process and go home," so all the statements he made afterwards, including the confession, were inadmissible.
Johnson has been held at the Morris County jail on $150,000 bail with no 10 percent option since he was arrested in October 2008 following the confession.
Morris Prosecutor Robert Bianchi said this afternoon that his office is "already in the process of appealing the decision."

Despite all the injuries and missing man-power in the Knicks' rotation this year, a silver lining has been the emergence of Chris Copeland.
The 28-year old rookie has earned his newfound playing time the hard way, which is ironic considering the Knicks (21-9) have gone to the rookie almost out of desperation due to the mounting injuries. But Copeland has rewarded head coach Mike Woodson's faith by averaging 15.6 points per game in his last three contests, including 23 points in 41 minutes of action in last night's loss in Sacramento.
Copeland's per game averages of 7.5 points in just 12 minutes of action, along with a .525 shooting percentage that includes .452 percent from behind the arc, are very comparable to other younger and more popular rookies. Thought of as a raw scoring talent coming into training camp, Copeland has turned himself into a very efficient scorer, as his per-36 minutes averages are the second-most efficient on the team, trailing only Carmelo Anthony.
That shows Copeland's value when Woodson calls his number, as his averages steadily increase. Throughout his success and rising fan favorite status, though, Copeland remains humble and willing to expand his game at both ends of the floor.
"It's a blessing, [but] at the end of the day I'm still just a guy who's thankful to be here, and thankful to Coach for having the faith to put me in there. It makes me want to keep plugging and work hard in the future," Copeland said, recalling the support he gets from the veterans. "Guys keep telling me stay aggressive, [and] when I get out there I try to attack. [But] I also tell them I'm 28 years old, but I'm still a rookie and have a lot to learn. ... I've also been learning as I go on the defensive end, so it's great to have so many veterans here helping me."
One vet who's taken Copeland under his wing and showed him the ropes is forward Marcus Camby. The career path of the 39-year old Camby has been the exact opposite of Copeland's as the former UMass star was the No. 1 overall pick in 1996 and once heralded as a franchise player.
The one thing Camby can relate with Copeland, though, is perseverance and hard work, thanks to his own lengthy career. And the veteran forward noted that no one works harder than the undrafted Copeland.
"That's my rook. It's good to see him excel, because you guys don't see all the work he puts in before and after practice," marveled Camby. "For a guy like him undrafted coming in here and making it on such a deep team like this, and having an impact for us when guys are out of the lineup is huge for us."
Hopefully Copeland's contributions will continue to be huge, giving Woodson a good problem to have, and that's finding ways to keep the hard-working rookie in the regular rotation.

TORONTO. August 11th. Organizers of the Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon have launched an extensive programme for the 25th anniversary edition of the event, to be run on Sunday, October 19th, 2014. "From the very beginning, the race has been about inclusion, about inviting everyone, and building both sport and community together," said Race Director Alan Brookes. "So we're really pleased to be able to offer 'something for everyone' in this year's 25th Anniversary celebrations!"
The centre-piece is a greatly expanded "History" section on the event website that now contains more than 100 images depicting key moments in the growth and development of the race, and of Canadian road racing scene. From changes in fashion, timing technology, courses and venues, plus unforgettable performances, the new section brings alive the lengthy road traveled to get to where we are today.
The race was first run on Sunday, October 14th, 1990, as the Coors Light Toronto Half-marathon & 5K in support of the YMCA Community Fund. That year, the winners were American Olympic legend Joan Benoit Samuelson (72:37) – the first winner of an Olympic women's marathon six years earlier in 1984 — and Virginia's Steve Taylor (62:29). They took home Coors Light beer-can trophies as well as cash prizing. The event continued as a half-marathon and 5K until the 42.195 kilometre full-marathon distance was added in 2000. While the sponsors and charities have also changed over a quarter-century, the pillars of the events' success have been remained the same: inclusiveness, and a measured balance between offering an international-class sporting event that puts the city on the athletics' world stage, and a major, local, community fundraising festival. Scotiabank became title sponsor in 1997 and has remained so for 18 years. The innovative Scotiabank Charity Challenge was introduced at a pilot project in 2002, the Neighbourhood Challenge in 2004, and combined have raised a remarkable $20.97 million since that date – mostly for smaller, local charities.
To celebrate the quarter-century of the event and the 15th running of the marathon, organizers are also offering a range of souvenirs under the banner "25 Years Running".
- ALL participants are invited to download a free Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront "Digital Training Badge" to let everyone know that they are preparing for the special anniversary edition http://www.torontowaterfrontmarathon.com/en/training-badge.htm
- Begun last year, the "STWM Stars Programme" has been expanded to recognize those runners who have completed multiple Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Full Marathons.
- this year, all those running their 5th STWM full marathon in 2014 will receive an "STWM Stars" beer mug sponsored by Mill St. Brewery.
- those running their 10th or more STWM full marathon in 2014 will be inducted into the new "Platinum Club", will receive a special commemorative medal and a range of other benefits.
(rewards can be picked up at the Awards Tent in the Post-Race Party Site on race day).
- BROOKS, the official athletic footwear and apparel partner, will be offering an expanded range of souvenir merchandise at the race EXPO, at the Direct Energy Centre on Friday and Saturday, October 17th & 18th.
- This year's EXPO will also feature a "25 Years Running" photo display and Signing Wall. The display captures many of the memorable moments from a quarter century at the event, and will be drawn from the new, expanded "History" section of the website. The Signing Wall will then provide the opportunity for the 25,000 participants from 60+ countries to leave their mark on the special occasion.
- The Guest Speakers' Series on the main stage at the EXPO will also feature several high-performance and recreational runners who have already stamped their mark on the history of the event. Panel discussions will also compare racing Toronto Half Marathon/Toronto Waterfront Marathon over the last 3 decades, and how things have changed
- These include Virginia Lee and Rick Rayman, the only runners to have completed all 14 editions of the STWM 42k — this year will be their 15th!
"So much has changed in Canadian road running in 25 years," said Brookes. "This year's Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon, Half & 5K will be a great time to reflect on how far we've come together, and celebrate with an outstanding race weekend!" Everyone is invited!" www.stwm.ca

Can there be such a thing as a portrait without a person? That's the question digital artist Robert Weingarten asks, and then answers in the affirmative, in his innovative exhibition "Living Legends," recently opened at the Norton Museum of Art.
Beginning in 2007, Weingarten, a California-based photographer, approached many "living legends" in various fields, from sports and politics to music and religion, asking them for input for what he was then calling his "Portraits Without People" project. He then took this input, from some two dozen public figures, and created montage "portraits" that captured their essence and their spirit, if not their facial contours and camera-ready smile. The result shows us that while the eyes may be one window into the soul, they aren't the only portal: We can understand a person's elemental consciousness through the physical fragments of their life—the objects, places, people and concepts they hold dear.
The generously sized photographs—five feet wide and more than three feet high—in this small but valuable exhibition are inherently busy works full of layers and superimpositions and witty juxtapositions, all of them the result of the copious input his subjects provided. In an interesting touch, the Norton has included the recipients' input responses next to finished product, and the format, length and specificity of each says something about the person who wrote it. For his portrait, Hank Aaron sent Weingarten a printed letter, on official letterhead, and explanations for why each piece of input was important; Mikhail Baryshnikov, meanwhile, mailed the artist a handwritten piece of yellow college-ruled notebook paper, with the following words chicken-scratched onto it: "my office," "dance studio NYC," "my photography," "dance," "music."
Thus, in some cases more than others, Weingarten has his work cut out for him, and "Living Legends" runs the gamut from the painterly and abstract to the doggedly literal. Typically, a close-up of an object will occupy the center frame—a Louisville Slugger for Aaron, a space module for Buzz Aldrin, a violin's pegbox for Itzhak Perlman—around which the rest of the subject's input orbits around and generally pays deference to.
Sometimes the key noun in each work is not an object but a place, or places. This is the case with two of the exhibit's strongest portraits. Sonia Sotomayor is represented by three superimposed locations vying for your eye's simultaneous attention: The Supreme Court Building, Yankee Stadium and her favorite cheese shop, whose amber lighting casts a radiant glow over everything. The Court building's "Equal Justice Under the Law" promise is positioned below the words "Yankee Stadium," humorously conflating the purposes of the two landmark edifices. And the artist's Don Shula portrait is especially revealing, linking a football stadium with the interior of a church, its pews pointing the way toward the gridiron: In Shula's essence, one literally feeds into the other, intertwining the faith, football and morality that have made him who he is.
Sometimes, the results of Weingarten's inquiries are just weird, but no less compelling. The portrait of Chuck Close, a fellow photographic innovator, is all over the place, his subject's rambling list of "favorites" rendered in a doctor's penmanship. Close found it important to include tapioca pudding and Bounty paper towels in his list, so Weingarten dutifully inserts them into his portrait. But even this eccentric result is beautiful, because it reflects an exhilarating breadth of art history as curated by Close; Giotto's frescoes, Vermeer's "Girl With the Red Hat" and de Kooning's "Woman I" share the same canvas of influence and imagination, indeed speaking to Close's artistic sensibility for better than a shot of the artist's visage ever could.
The only celebrity who didn't seem to "get it" is Quincy Jones, whose shallow input was less an embodiment of his essence than a C.V. for his next job. His minimal requests included the poster for "A Color Purple," his Grammys, his Oscar, and some of the records he worked on. Weingarten, given nothing substantial to work with, created a portrait that is a tribute to Jones' vanity.
Perhaps the greatest value in this show, beyond its capacity to recast the definition of a portrait, is that it prompts us to look deeply at art, and rewards us for our probing inspection. At a passing glance, Weingarten's portrait of Jane Goodall is chimp-centric, with other primates, dogs and candles hovering behind and around it. But the more you stare at this piece, beyond its multiple surfaces, the more you'll notice its coat of photographic primer: the shelves of a library filled with books, stretching across seemingly the entire canvas. Sure enough, "books" were listed among Goodall's input.
Like the best works of art, the more you look, the more you see.

The Emmanuel Church of God in Christ United, a small white house near Northeast 30th Avenue and Alberta Street, is filled with song and joy. The 10-member Emmanuel Gospel Choir rips through a rousing rendition of "Where He Leads Me, I Will Follow," accompanied by 15-year-old drummer Charles Tellis.
Mother Maggie Wright steps up to the lectern. Dressed in a conservative navy skirt-suit, a tan shirt, and a bright blue hat topped with a veil and a brace of white feathers, she is a commanding figure
"I'm so Godly proud of the accomplishment that my son has made," she says, peering through thick, tinted glasses. "He grew up in the community. He has a good value system, and he deserves that post. But he needs your help."
"Amen!" says the appreciative, mostly black audience of three dozen parishioners,
"If it wasn't for the police, we wouldn't even be able to walk down these streets," she says. "So don't tear them down--support them."
"He will do what's best for this city and this community."
It's a good thing people are praying for Derrick Foxworth. He'll need all the help he can get.
When he was named Portland's chief last month, just hours after the ouster of Mark Kroeker, he took over a bureau battered by a rash of headlines so damaging that City Commissioner Jim Francesconi declared that the situation had reached "crisis" proportions.
Despite the support voiced by his mother's small congregation, Foxworth oversees a bureau that has lost the confidence of many Portlanders, particularly black residents, who feel officers are immune from any internal punishment when they screw up.
Relations are "absolutely" the worst they've been in many years, says longtime activist Jo Ann Bowman. "There's this mindset within the Police Bureau that the streets really are theirs," she says, "and we only get to be on them if it's OK with them."
Many officers, meanwhile, fear that Foxworth--a tough disciplinarian with strong ties to the city's African-American community--will cave in to public pressure, adopting reforms that could put cops in danger.
"He's always been a bit of a politician. And he does have pluses because he's familiar with the minority community," says retired Sgt. Neil Crannell. "But the problem will come when he goes against their wishes: That will be the true test of how he'll do as chief."
Foxworth's ascension to the top job was sealed on May 5, when a white officer named Scott McCollister shot and killed a black woman named Kendra James, who was attempting to drive away from a routine traffic stop with the officer stuck in her car.
James' death set off a wave of protest, led by the Albina Ministerial Alliance, a coalition of African-American clergy. "In my seven years here, the pot has been boiling," says the Rev. LeRoy Haines, an alliance member. "And with the Kendra James shooting, the top of the pot flew off."
Sgt. Harry Jackson, an African-American officer who's been on the force for 24 years, agrees that the shooting released a wave of pent-up anger. "It's gotten really bad," he says. "It's more than just Kendra James."
Suddenly, then-Chief Kroeker found himself in a no-win situation. After reviewing the incident, Kroeker proposed a long unpaid suspension for McCollister. The union screamed that it was politically motivated and excessive.
Black activists, meanwhile, demanded McCollister be fired. The ministerial alliance called the investigation of the James shooting a "cover-up."
Kroeker, informed that his days were numbered, quit, leaving Foxworth to clean up the mess.
"He's inheriting a situation that Kroeker was terminated for not being able to [handle]," says retired Multnomah County Sheriff Dan Noelle, a former Portland police captain. "I think there's a huge expectation of what needs to be done, and Derrick is not going to get a honeymoon."
Foxworth isn't Portland's first black chief, but he's the first to know what it's like for an African-American man to grow up in the whitest big city in America. (Charles Moose, chief from 1993 to 1999, came to the bureau from North Carolina.)
He grew up in Portland, seven blocks from what later became the Police Bureau's Northeast Precinct headquarters. He and his twin brother, Darrell, were raised as straight arrows, and the Benson High School yearbook shows they neither joined clubs nor played sports. "We were always working," explains Darrell, now an FBI agent in San Diego.
But even law-abiding, wage-earning black kids were not spared unwanted attention from the largely white Portland police force.
Foxworth recalls one year when every time he drove past the corner of Northeast 22nd Avenue and Ainsworth Street, the same officer would be there waiting and, claiming some violation or other, would pull him over to search him and his car.
While Foxworth downplays his early contacts with the police, Terri Dennis, his ex-wife, says they bothered him. "He was harassed by the police when he was a teenager," says Dennis, who began dating Foxworth when he was 17. "He used to complain about it, say it was unfair. I think one of the reasons he became a cop was to try and make a difference in that."
If so, he faced a daunting task. In March 1981, shortly before he joined the bureau, two white cops, in a feud with a black business owner, tossed dead, bloody possums on the doorstep of his business in Northeast--a move widely viewed as a racist act of retaliation.
Four years later, tensions between cops and black Portlanders grew when a young African-American security guard, attempting to break up a fight, was killed by white officers who put him in a choke hold.
The Police Bureau does not keep records going back that far, but according to the new book by Moose, Three Weeks in October, the bureau at that time had only "about 40" black cops in a force of more than 800. Today Portland has just 37 black cops on a force of 1,013.
Jackson, who joined the force a year before Foxworth, says it was, and remains, tough to be a black cop in Portland. "It's overwhelming," he says. "You have to be an extremely strong individual to keep your focus on what you're here for."
Nor did earning a badge make Foxworth immune to police scrutiny. His longtime partner, Rod Beard, describes a time in the mid-'80s when they were undercover and driving an unmarked car on Powell Boulevard near Southeast 82nd Street.
When a Clackamas County deputy driving in front of them saw the two black men in his rearview mirror, he immediately slowed down well below the speed limit, then pulled them over. "He said we were acting suspicious, but he never clarified what that meant," recalls Beard. "I didn't appreciate it and I told him so."
Foxworth, for his part, downplays such incidents. "The problem is this: You have to honestly know what is in that person's mind as to why they stopped that individual."
Figuring out how Foxworth will balance his personal experiences with his new duties is difficult. It requires getting inside his head--which, as his ex-wife knows, is a nearly impossible task.
"He's always been very guarded," Dennis says, adding that he has become more so as he has pursued his longtime ambition of becoming chief. Given the vicious internal politics of the Portland Police Bureau, Dennis says, "If nothing else, that's the way he protects himself."
For instance, Dennis believes Foxworth is much more aware of racial profiling than he lets on. "When Derrick and I lived in Gresham, our son would get stopped once a month or more coming come from high school--for no reason," she says.
"We've had this discussion," she says. "I think he sees it, but I don't think he'll talk about it to the press."
Later, however, she laughs when told of some cops' fears that Foxworth will play favorites inside the bureau or, externally, bend to the will of Northeast Portland.
"He's always struck me as this type of person: If his mother broke the law, he would arrest her," she says. "He would feel sorry about it, but he would arrest her. He is a by-the-book person."
Though Foxworth has never arrested his mother, he did once pull her over.
It was 20 years ago, when Foxworth was a patrolman in Northeast Portland. His mother passed her son, who was driving the opposite direction in his squad car. He whipped the cruiser around, hit the lights and pulled her over. In a slightly indignant tone, she tells what happened next: "He told me I was driving too fast."
What would have been a humorous episode for most cops was just a routine stop for Foxworth. So routine, in fact, that in an interview in his new office, he says he doesn't remember it. But, he admits, it sounds very possible. "She does tend to drive at an accelerated speed," he explains in a serious tone.
Foxworth's loyalty to the law also was apparent to his coworkers when he joined the drug unit.
He would don a disguise, either a wig or a neck brace, then walk up the door of crack houses near Northeast Alberta Street, his own neighborhood, to buy drugs. Then he would arrest the folks inside, often people he grew up with.
While these busts impressed his fellow cops, they apparently were tough on the young officer.
"He came to visit me one night after doing that," recalls his mother. "He talked a lot about how sad it made him. Some of his classmates were involved. And it pained him to see children without food."
As a black cop in Northeast Portland, Foxworth had to develop a hard shell.
"I have been called Uncle Tom by people of my own race," says Foxworth. "They call you a sellout, and they say you're with the Man and you're no longer concerned with what happens to black people.
"And it's like: 'No, I am concerned. That's why I chose this profession.' And: 'No, I'm not a sellout. If there's a problem that exists between government and the police and the community, then you've got to get involved.' That's what I did."
That involvement has sometimes led to criticism. In 1998, for example, a group of Northeast residents were refused a permit for a birthday party for Daniel Binns, a popular former drug dealer in the neighborhood. The group, which claimed Binns had been targeted because he was black, marched on Chief Moose's house on Northeast Going Street. They were dispersed using beanbag rounds from riot-control shotguns--and the order to shoot was given by Foxworth.
While some activists remember the episode with bitterness, Foxworth has few regrets.
"If you have a beef with the Police Bureau or the city, you go to the City Hall or the Police Bureau," he says. "You don't go to a person's house and try to threaten them, intimidate them and try to cause a confrontation.
"That was wrong."
Baruti Artharee, an African-American man who serves as director of diversity for Providence Health, is a former activist who used to live down the street from Foxworth in Northeast. "In the community," he says, "Derrick's reputation is that he may not say what you want to hear, and he may not agree with you. But he is someone who really listens and who can be trusted."
Bowman agrees that Foxworth has a lot of credibility. "Community members feel very comfortable stopping him in a grocery store, walking up to him and asking him something," she says. "They know he'll talk to them, and I think that's a big plus."
On a recent Friday night, Foxworth's new relationship with his old neighborhood looked like it would be very tough-love.
Sgt. Mike Fort was overseeing Operation Neighborhood Relief--in cop lingo, a "saturation mission." Foxworth handed Fort four extra cops that night to work the neighborhood in uniform, to send a message to miscreants that things are gonna change. Two neighbors out on their porch near Northeast 6th Avenue and Jarrett Street are glad to hear it, saying a four-block area nearby has become a magnet for drug-dealing.
"We've lived here for three years, and the last eight months have gotten out of control," says Tom Yorter, who described a constant stream of car and foot traffic cruising for dealers. "We've confronted them, we've begged them, we've pleaded with them."
Indeed, Northeast Portland has seen a jump in drug dealers and hookers plying their trade in the streets, as well as other crime and gang-related violence. According to the bureau, aggravated assaults in the precinct this year jumped 11 percent. Car thefts and break-ins are up 30 percent. And there have been seven homicides already, compared with three at this time last year.
Fort, a tall, mustachioed, thoughtful white guy in the midst of training for the Portland Marathon, has a list of five hot-spots, and the plan is to spend a lot of time contacting people for small violations, such as riding without a light or nuisance littering. "It may seem chippy to some people," concedes Fort. "But I'm talking to the neighbors out there, and they want the crime to stop."
Most of the people Fort contacts on this evening are black. Outside a liquor store, he busts a 15-year-old who's carrying more than a gallon of liquor. Sgt. Jackson, who's also on the scene, tells the kid's friends, sitting at the bus stops, that if they don't stop loitering, they will be ticketed.
"There's a new sheriff in town!" Jackson bellows at them. "Do you get what I'm saying? Everything changes NOW!"
Fort approaches a 27-year-old black male who's riding a small motor scooter with no helmet.
"This is just harassment!" says the man in disbelief. "Other people don't get tickets for helmets!"
"Let me tell you why," says Fort. He explains that shots were fired nearby tonight, the second time in a week. Cops are trying to get a handle on things. "I'm not going to ticket you," he says, "But you need to know that if you're in this neighborhood and you're not wearing a helmet, you're going to get pulled over and may be ticketed."
Once Fort shows respect, the two men make peace. "All right, I understand now," says the scooter rider. "I see that you weren't harassing me."
Later, at the corner of Northeast 6th Avenue and Shaver Street, two large men sit in the shadowy porch of a nearby house--one that neighbors say is the epicenter of drug activity. Jackson, who has become an institution in Northeast, yells, for all to hear, "These two 260-pound men here, why they don't do anything to save their mother's house, I don't know. All these guys want to do with their time is take this 80-year-old woman's house down!"
Jackson later complains, "We have to fight the community in order to protect it."
This, says Foxworth, is his idea of "community policing"--a term that gets used a lot even though no one really seems to know what it means.
"It is a philosophy," he says. "It's how you treat citizens, it's how you interact with citizens, that every traffic stop that you conduct, every citizen contact, every call that you go to you are an ambassador from the Police Bureau and the city of Portland."
He thinks this approach will cut down on complaints of rudeness and racism. But even as he challenges his officers to do a better job, Foxworth clearly plans to challenge the community to do more than just complain.
"You can't blame everything on the police or on the government," he says. "You have a responsibility to be involved and to do what you can to make your community better. And I think that's the role that I think the leaders of the minority community must take on."
Pressed for specifics, Foxworth pauses.
"I wouldn't mention names, but I think there's some that do a much better job than others," he says. "And there's some that need to quit finger-pointing and say, 'What can we do to help you?'"
His vision of shared responsibility is not limited to the black community. In his first public appearance, he signaled his intention to hold the media accountable, saying reporters need to tell the whole story of what police do, not just the bad parts.
Most important, sources say, Foxworth and his second-in-command, Assistant Chief Stanley Grubbs, are also holding bureau managers to a higher standard, demanding better report-writing and record-keeping.
And as for officer misconduct, Foxworth bears a reputation as a harsh disciplinarian. After the Kendra James shooting, he recommended firing McCollister, the cop who shot her, informed sources say. And this was not unprecedented: Reportedly, he sought far steeper discipline for the cops who were accused by a citizens' grand jury of a "cover-up" after failing to investigate the savage beating of a man outside a downtown nightclub by two-off-duty cops in January 2002. In 2001, a source says, he favored disciplining the officers involved in the controversial killing of a Mexican man, Jose Mejia Poot, who charged at them in a mental-health facility.
So it seems that Foxworth's approach could change what a consultant in August described as the bureau's institutional reluctance to look critically at itself. The report blasted the PPB's handling of officer-involved shootings between 1997 and 2000, recommending major reforms in how they are investigated, as well as increased civilian oversight.
Foxworth has historically been among the bureau managers who are most committed to a measure of civilian review. And when asked about officers' fears that he will be harsh on discipline, Foxworth makes scant effort to deny it.
"I expect a lot of myself, and I expect a lot of the people who are part this organization. I believe that officers should maintain the highest standards of conduct. But I also believe in being fair."
Fairness, of course, is in the eye of the beholder. But Robert King, president of the Portland Police Association, the officers' union, is optimistic that the new chief can be reasoned with. "I can understand why officers would have concerns about a new chief," King says. "I would say to them, 'Let the process work.'"
As for reforms, "The reality is the changes are going to happen," says King. "So we have to find a way to be part of the process that leads to change. What I would like to see in the months ahead is for us to work together in pursuing changes that are good for officers and good for the community."
Finding that middle ground has proved elusive in Portland, but retired officer Loren Christensen, who worked with Foxworth in the gang unit, sees hope in the new chief. "If anyone can walk that fine line between what the community wants and what the officers want, I think he can," he says.
The Church of God in Christ is a predominantly African-American strain of Pentecostalism containing elements of evangelism and charismatic healing.
Longtime cops say Derrick Foxworth has next to no skeletons in his closet. The big exception was his involvement in the 1997 cell-phone scandal, in which he racked up $2,000 in personal phone calls.
At Benson Polytechnic High School, Foxworth was viewed by some as humorless and grade-driven
According to a recent report from the city's Independent Police Review division, complaints alleging officer misconduct are up 48 percent. The new figures reversed a three-year trend in which complaints dropped steeply.
Ex-Chief Charles Moose, in his book, Three Weeks in October, described a "natural hostility" in 1980s Northeast Portland, based on the fact that most cops were white and most suspects black. Moose wrote that "police behavior exacerbated that hostility."
The word most often used to describe Foxworth is "micromanager."
Foxworth's son, Derrick Jr., is now 22 and joined the Portland force last month. Like all new officers, he must complete a rotation of different jobs before getting permanently assigned to a precinct or division.

I am a 70 year old senior citizen with a 1500 rating. I would like to become a chess master. I have a limited budget since my only income is from Social Security. If there is a chess master out there who is willing to donate his time to find out if its possible for a senior citizen to become a chess master please contact me. I have an IQ of 150 and was told when I was younger by a chess master that I do have the potential to become a master, myself, but I never followed up because I had to work for a living. Now that I am retired I would like to follow up but I am told someone of my age cannot become a chess master. Is there anyone out there who would like to prove them wrong and show the world that you can teach an old dog new tricks?

The Ghent Altarpiece is a very large and complex panel painting which is considered to be one of Belgium's masterpieces and one of the world's treasures. The website "Closer to Van Eyck" has made it possible to zoom into this intricate, breathtaking details of one of the most important works of art from the medieval world.
Each centimeter of the altarpiece was scrutinized and professionally photographed at extremely high resolution in both regular and infrared light. The photographs were then digitally "stitched" together to create highly detailed images which allow for study of the painting at unprecedented microscopic levels. The website itself contains 100 billion pixels.
