JJ Cale: Still 'Travelin' Light'
JJ Cale has written some of the rock and roll era's most enduring anthems. Yet, for many modern music fans, Cale's name remains little more than a songwriting credit.
Born in Oklahoma City, and bred in Tulsa's schools, Cale has spent the past four decades refining his rock and roll craft, blossoming into one of the world's most covered artists along the way. First gaining notoriety as a guitarist in an early incarnation of Delaney & Bonnie, Cale issued his first popular single in 1965, a boogie-based rocker called "After Midnight." Quickly earning the acclaim of George Harrison, Waylon Jennings, and Eric Clapton, Cale spent the latter part of the sixties touring the country and tinkering in studios, while also forming the "summer of love" outfit the Leather Coated Minds. In 1970 Clapton included a take on "After Midnight" on his own solo bow, turning the Cale-cut into an international hit. Finally issuing his debut album Naturally at the tail end of 1971, Cale kick-started his solo career with another take on "After Midnight" and his hit single "Crazy Mama."
While Cale continued to reinterpret his canon through a steady stream of live dates, the guitarist's songs slowly worked their way into America's musical lexicon. In 1974, Lynyrd Skynyrd included Cale's "Call Me the Breeze" on their sophomore effort, Second Helping. Meanwhile, Clapton continued to turn Cale's cuts into hits, breaking into the Billboard charts with covers of "Cocaine," and the studio-centerpiece "I'll Make Love to You Anytime." Earning nods from everyone from Johnny Cash to the Jerry Garcia Band, Cale watched his influence widen, while also playing around with his arrangements at his live shows.
Somewhat press shy, Cale maintained a low profile throughout the 1980s. Yet, the lauded songwriter earned a new generation of fans through Widespread Panic, who included Cale's "Travelin' Light" on their seminal Space Wrangler. Later blending Cale's "Ride Me High" into their repertoire, Cale cemented his connection with Widespread Panic by opening for, and later collaborating with, the Georgia-bred group on June 25, 2002.
After an eight-year studio reprieve, Cale issued his most recent album, To Tulsa and Back, earlier this spring. Though the guitarist jokes that the disc features "no one under sixty," it has made waves on the jam band circuit. A series of modern compositions, Cale also takes a stab at current politics and environmental concerns, along with his trademark blues-rock.
In early June, Cale also joined the likes of Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan, and Robert Randolph at Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival. Continuing to foster their working relationship, Clapton sat in for the majority of Cale's set, riffing on classics cuts like "After Midnight" and "Cocaine."
Jambands.com caught up with JJ Cale shortly before his show at Crossroads. Like his guitar style, Cale speaks in a fluid fashion, rambling poetically like the legion of jambands he's influenced.
M- On To Tulsa and Back, you seem to weave politics into your prose. Did you have a political agenda while writing this album?
JJ- It's unusually for me, but yes. "The Problem" is a song you can apply to politics. Or, you can apply it to your boss or your old lady. But, most people take it as political. The album also deals with the environment. I haven't done anywhere near as much as Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne or any of those people, but I've always been into protecting the environment.
M-To Tulsa and Back is your first album in eight years. Did you work out these songs live before you entered the studio?
JJ- I hardly ever do songs at a gig that I don't have out on record. Of course, I'll do other people's songs, but of the songs that I've written, I generally only do the one's I've recorded. You can tell what people like live: they holler at you and scream. If a song looks like it's being liked, I'll learn it again [laughs]. Because I am a songwriter, I have to go back and relearn my own songs [laughs].
M- In concert, you tend to reinterpret you studio compositions. Do you ever model your own reworkings after the artists that have covered your songs?
JJ- Oh yeah. Whether it's "Travelin' Light" or "Ride Me High," I hardly do it live like I do on the record. The record is one form of art and the live show in another. Generally, I'll lean more towards their version live because the records I make by myself are hard to duplicate live. [In the studio], I use electronics and that sort of stuff. Sometimes, on stage, my song' don't even sound like anyone else's records. They just sound completely different.
M- Some of your early recordings are among the first rock cuts to incorporate drum machines. When did you start dabbling with electronics?
JJ- Actually, I used an electric drum machine on my first record because I couldn't afford a drummer. I think "Crazy Mama," which was a single on my first album, used an electric drum machine. Since then, I've seen it become very popular, especially in hip-hop, rap and on modern records. Basically, along with being a songwriter and guitar player, I'm an engineer. I did my time in the studio as an engineer recording other people. So when it came around to me doing my own thing, I used anything I could get away with. I had this electric drum machine and knew Roger Linn, an electronic engineer kind of a guy. He invented that first digital electronic drum machine. The one I had on the original record was a Japanese beat-box and then Roger went and sampled drums and put it in. In the early 1970s all kinds of people discovered the electric drum machine and they have mainly used Roger's unit since.
M- Widespread Panic has worked several JJ Cale songs into their set. Tell us about your first Panic experience.
JJ- I was playing this outdoor concert and went and did a radio interview to plug the show. The DJ put Widespread Panic's record on—-I had never heard of them, but they were playing my song. They really weren't that big then and, as the years progressed, they got huge. Then they asked me to open one of their shows in 2002. They are a great band. I was working solo, carrying a drummer and a guitar player around with me. I just went out and opened their show for thirty minutes. Then they asked me to come out and perform. I asked them, "What tune do you want to do?" They said, "Well, Ride Me High.'" It's a one-cord song and, of course, you don't need to rehearse a one-cord song – plus we both knew it. So there was no rehearsal. I also opened for Phish at one time, though I didn't know who they were. They said, "Do you want to open for Phish?" I said, "Is that Country Joe and the Fish" [laughs]. They said, "No, this is a new group—- they are a jamband." They felt bad about me not having a full band, so the bass player [Mike] Gordon came out and played bass with us.
M- Speaking of jambands, your early work seems to include an element of improvisation.
JJ- We used to do the jamband kind of thing, but we didn't call it that, right? We used to extend the songs and get in the groove. I write jazz songs, polka, songs, rock and roll—everything. Sometimes, I'll even take a song and turn it into a country thing. I just write songs and say, well, "I'll put it in this bag or that bag." Jambands can do that toothey can take a heavy metal song and turn it into a jazz song. I originally wrote "Cocaine" in a Mose Allison-style. The producer I was generally working with at the time was named Audie Ashworth. He said, "John, I really like that song but no one will hear it if you keep it as a jazz thing. Why don't you do it as more of a rock thing?"
M- What was your working relationship with Waylon Jennings like?
JJ- I've lived in Nashville for quite a few years and I knew Waylon. I met him in the studiohis wife Jessi Colter cut one of my songs and I played with her. I also played a couple of gigs with him. We never got to be real close buddies, but we got to know each other well and had a mutual admiration for each other. He cut several of my songs. I [also] did a thing with the Crickets, Buddy Holly's old band four or five years ago. Eric Clapton played on it as well.
M-Jerry Garcia often worked "After Midnight" into his solo set. Did you ever perform with Garcia?
JJ- No. I knew of Jerry and I am a big admirer of his. He was a real soulful cat. There had been two or three offers for me and him to get together. He got together with all sorts of people, like Johnny Cash. Somewhere along the line we were going to get together, but we never did. I didn't know his version of "After Midnight" at the time.
M- Do you change your current set list nightly?
JJ- I end up doing some of the standards every night, but I generally change the set. It all depends on the type of place I'm playing. If I am playing a small theater, I'll do the set in one sort of vein. If it's a bunch of young kids who have only heard of me through Widespread Panic, I'll psyche myself up to play another way—-depending on how loud they are [laughs]. I don't rehearse really. These guys have been playing with me on and off for thirty years. They are all from my hometown. If we don't know it by now, we don't know it [laughs]. Sometimes I will catch something in a jamband fashion and put it in the middle of a song.
M- Of all the shows you've preformed since your last studio album, which concert sticks out the most in your mind?
JJ- The Dallas gig I played with Widespread Panic. In the United States, I'll play in front of anywhere from 200 to 700 people. Then when you open for somewhere you're playing in front of several thousand people. Sometimes, I'll play like Joe's little jazz joint in Cleveland where there are 200 people and we don't do anything wrong. It really doesn't have anything to do with how many people are there, but when you're playing in front of that many people, it sticks out in your head. That's kind of where I get in with the jambands: we throw it all up there and see what works. That's what jamming is. I remember times when everything sounded wonderful and times when I am in front of 10,000 people and I can't remember the words to "After Midnight."
M- Tell us about your time with Delaney & Bonnie.
JJ- We were playing house parties in Los Angeles in the 1960s. Delaney is really a great singer and so is Bonnie. They didn't really get that famous at the time, but were great singers. I played rhythm with them when they were putting things together. Bonnie sang in that kind of Janis Joplin style. Eric Clapton later joined up with them. He's [since] cut four of my songs and a couple of them are hits.
M-What is the most meaningful compliment you've received for a fellow rocker?
Right before George Harrison died, he called me. I had never talked to him in my life and he called me four or five months before he died. A friend of mine was making him a guitar and put us in touch. We made small talk and discussed Ravi Shankar and such. He said, "You know, I really love that first album you made. I have it in my car. But, have you made any albums since then?" We all sort of laughed. Of course, I've made nine albums since then, but he was still locked on my first album.

Australian artist Joan Ross manipulates paintings created by someone else, adding her own touches of highlighter yellow and fluoro orange. Sometimes, she animates these paintings. As Ross does this she simultaneously references a bevy of themes. They include the following: our attempt to civilize nature, imperialism, consumerism, our throwaway culture, global warming, tagging, naming, and claiming. It's a tall order to engage these all of these things, so Ross uses historical paintings as a starting place.
Specifically, she uses the paintings of Joseph Lycett. He was an Australian painter producing work during the time that the British government colonized Australia (to use it to banish criminals, among other things), between 1788 and 1850. Taking his landscapes, lush and calming views of the ocean, Ross inserts loud, disruptive colors, graffiti, and symbols of invasion. A couple wearing hi vis yellow vests interrupts a group native residents. Other times, a similar couple vandalizes the natural environment. In many of Ross' paintings and animations, subjects are destructive.
Lycett was a well-known painter, but ultimately found to be an impostor who forged his work. From a young age, this fact interested Ross, who mentions it in her artist statement. She writes:
As a child I was fascinated by the fact that the important colonial painter Joseph Lycett was a forger. In a sense I am continuing his tradition of taking something and forging something new out of it.
One of the reasons for Lycett's fame lay in the fact he was one of the first to depicted the Aboriginal population engaged in traditional activities, and much of my work has on some level an element of the continuing dance of the races.
The mentality behind colonialism can manifest itself in many ways and the ongoing creep, nay, invasion of high vis yellow and fluoro orange are a modern-day example. I didn't vote for these colours, yet they are everywhere!

Braves Best Yankees in Exhibition, Posada Homers, Other Notes
On Tuesday the Yankees played the Atlanta Braves to a 5-4 win. Today the Braves gained a measure of redemption, beating the Yankees 6-2 in an exhibition at George M. Steinbrenner Field.
Tied at two heading into the top of the seventh, Yankees' reliever Steve Garrison imploded. The Braves scratched four runs across the plate to take lead and eventually the game. Brent Clevlen singled to score Diory Hernandez to give Atlanta a 3-2 edge. Matt Young followed with an RBI single which plated Brooks Conrad, giving the Braves a 4-2 lead.
Later in the frame Wilkins Castillo grounded out to short, allowing Clevlen to cross the plate. Ed Lucas topped out the huge inning with a single to score Young, giving the Braves six runs in the game.
The Braves scored their initial run in the top of the first on a single by Chipper Jones to score Martin Prado. Jordan Schafer clubbed a solo homer in the second to give the Braves their second run.
The Yankees scored their first run in the second inning on a long solo home run over the right field wall off the bat of Jorge Posada. In the bottom of the sixth, Alex Rodriguez grounded to third, which allowed Andruw Jones to score, tying the game at two.
Tommy Hanson made the start for Atlanta and turned in a good outing. He tossed four innings and gave up one earned run on five hits. He didn't walk a batter and struck out two.
Phil Hughes started for New York. He pitched four innings, and gave up two earned runs on seven hits. He walked one batter and K'd two.
Notes & Things to Look Out For
· First off, thoughts and sympathy go out to all affected by the earthquake in Japan. An 8.9 on the Richter scale? – Now that is serious. Yankee pitcher Kei Igawa was permitted to leave the Minor League training facility in an attempt to contact his loved ones in Japan. Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Takashi Saito was also allowed to leave camp, concerned for his relatives back home. We as Americans are left praying and hoping everyone in the Far East will be OK. I can't help but think of Hideki Matsui, too. I am praying for him and everyone else in Japan. May God be with all of them during this crisis.
· Phil Hughes has a 5.00 ERA this spring. Today he fell behind a few hitters and surrendered a home run, also allowing seven hits and nine total base runners. Was I impressed? Not really. Did he look sharp? Not really. Am I concerned? A little bit. A lot of people jump all over A.J. Burnett's back for having a poor record and an inflated ERA last season – and rightfully so, Burnett had an off-year.
But what they don't realize, or seem to remember, is that Hughes pitched to a 4.19 ERA last year (about one run lower than Burnett, who notched a 5.26 ERA) and lost the deciding game of the American League Championship Series. His record last season was 18-8, which is probably why everyone is quick to forgive him. I'm just worried Hughes had a "fluke year" in 2010 and will not be as effective in 2011. His arm seemed to tire towards the end of last year and if it happens again, it could cause some problems for the Yankee rotation.
· Derek Jeter had a hit today and his average is now at .333. It's good to see the Captain hitting above .300 again and I'm sure he will continue to work on the stride adjustment.
· It was documented that Mark Teixeira is in mid-season form. The slugging first baseman is batting .364 this spring and was 1-for-3 today. The Yanks need a lot of production out of Teixeira this year and right now he is proving that there are no carryover effects of his injuries last year – the hamstring and the broken toe. Traditionally he is a slow starter, but maybe he can leap that hurdle this year and have a big month of April.
· Jorge Posada's home run today was a BOMB. At 39 years old he is still showing that power he has generally possessed throughout his career. Today he homered from the left side of the plate and the ball would have landed in the second deck at Yankee Stadium, had the game been played there. Although he probably won't catch at all this year, he might still see some field time. In yesterday's 7-0 loss to the Phillies, he played first base.
· Regulars Curtis Granderson, Robinson Cano, and Nick Swisher did not play. Granderson and Swisher played in Dunedin against the Toronto Blue Jays, as the Yanks were in split squad action. Granderson was 1-for-3 with an RBI and two runs scored. Swisher was also 1-for-3 with an RBI.
· Although Granderson and Swisher both had good days at the plate, the other squad lost to the Jays, 10-3.
· Austin Krum made a diving catch to rob Ed Lucas of a hit in the sixth inning. Highlight-reel worthy catch, if I do say so myself. Joba Chamberlain tipped his cap to Krum – and his line: one inning pitched, no runs, two hits, no walks, and one strikeout. Chamberlain's spring ERA is now 3.60.
· Rafael Soriano made his second appearance of the spring today. He tossed a perfect fifth inning, striking out Brooks Conrad and Martin Prado while getting Chipper Jones to ground out. Soriano will be the eighth inning setup man and I am really excited for him. He looks as though he will be lights out.
· Soriano will be setting up the incomparable Mariano Rivera, who has yet to throw a pitch in a game this spring. He will however get his first spring action on Sunday, according to the YES Network.
· Ivan Nova started against the Blue Jays today. His line: three innings pitched, two earned runs on five hits, two walks, one K, and he gave up a homer to Jose Bautista. He's been fairly solid up until now. He can bury one shaky start. He has to come out strong next time to stay in contention for a spot in the rotation.
· Steve Garrison will not make the team. Not after today. But I have a feeling he wasn't making it anyway. He recorded the loss and basically blew the game against the Braves.
· Jesus Montero went 0-for-3 without a hit today at the Blue Jays. His batting average has dipped below .200 and yes, I am a little worried about that. Especially now that he has a chance to make the team because of Francisco Cervelli's foot injury.
· Behind the plate for the Braves today was Brian McCann. He threw out Jeter and Justin Maxwell trying to steal. The guy has a great arm.
· Former Yankee Scott Proctor got the win today, even though he blew a save. He is now 1-1 this spring, trying to resurrect a career torn down by arm problems. He has Joe Torre to thank for that. On a side note about Proctor – he really resembles WWE superstar John Cena. It's uncanny how they look alike.
· The Yankees are now 6-7-2 in Grapefruit League play.
· Tomorrow the Yankees will visit the Washington Nationals. On Sunday they will come back to Tampa to play the Minnesota Twins – which is also the next televised game on the YES Network.

Ronn Garry Jr. believes in the state's health care reform law. He likes the idea behind the groundbreaking 2006 legislation, that everybody should contribute to a system we all use. And as a matter of fairness, he wants everybody, especially his own employees, to have health insurance.
But the law Garry supports is kicking his behind.
Garry is an owner of Tropical Foods, the independent Roxbury market that has anchored Dudley Square for 36 years. He has 70 employees, 45 of them full time. The 2006 law says he has to offer those full-time employees health insurance, cover at least 33 percent of their premiums, and get a quarter of them to take up his offer. Otherwise, he must pay a fine, called a Fair Share Contribution: $295 for every worker. The fine encourages employers to offer coverage, and helps fund insurance the Commonwealth provides for low-income residents who can't get it through employers.
Fair enough. But Garry has a problem. Even though he offers health insurance and pays 50 percent of his employees' premiums, he can't get 25 percent to sign up. Two workers short of the threshold, he has been fined: About $29,000, including thousands in penalties.
His broker told him this would happen in 2007, when only 10 employees were taking his insurance. Others were on spouses' plans, including Garry himself, whose municipal worker wife has a great, low-cost plan. Some were on MassHealth, which is free. Still others said they couldn't afford insurance or didn't need it.
You're going to have to pay the fine no matter what, the broker said. Might as well stop offering insurance altogether. And for two years, Garry did just that. "But then I said: 'You know what? This isn't fair,' '' Garry says.
Offering his employees insurance was the right thing to do. He extended it to part-timers, but that only made his numbers look worse.
Try as he might, he couldn't convince workers to forgo other insurance. He couldn't cajole uninsured workers who use emergency rooms for free care to pay $30-a-week premiums.
As Garry puts it: "How do you compete with free?''
About 1,000 of the state's roughly 166,000 employers paid the Fare Share contribution in 2010.
Some of them deserved the fine and more. But shouldn't we make a distinction between employers of good faith who can't get employees to sign up for health insurance, and the scofflaw employers who simply won't? It isn't right that Garry is paying the same penalty as the bad guys.
"It's about trying to do the right thing, and not being whacked for [it],'' Garry says. "It's almost like they want me to cancel my insurance.''
He'll keep offering it, for now. But he won't get more takers, because his plan these days is no great shakes. It meets the state's standards, but subjects workers to out-of-pocket expenses of up to $5,000. Tropical used to offer better coverage. But this market, like all small businesses, has been walloped by giant, double-digit premium increases in recent years. Those increases put the old plan out of reach, for Garry and his workers.
Garry deserves a break here. Couldn't the state hold him to account only for the workers who don't have insurance at all? Then again, how does the state relax the rules for Garry without also relaxing them for the jerks who flout the law?
The real solution here (apart from a single-payer system, which is not likely), is to lower the cost of health care for everyone, so that Garry and his workers can afford excellent, employer-provided health insurance.
Until then, Garry will be stuck - fined if he doesn't do the right thing, and fined if he does - between a law he admires and a hard place.Yvonne Abraham is a Globe columnist. She can be reached at email@example.com.

Britta Fischer, U.S.-China Peoples Friendship Association Photograph Collection
Founded in 1974, the U.S.-China Peoples Friendship Association was among the first American organizations devoted to fostering people-to-people diplomacy between the United States and the People's Republic of China. The vision of veteran civil rights activist Unita Blackwell, the USCPFA sponsored speakers, seminars, and cultural exchanges, and in the 1970s, was among the first groups to organize tours from the United States to the People's Republic.
The 449 color slides (35 mm.) that comprise the U.S.-China Peoples Friendship Association collection document one of the group's early tours, undertaken at the height of the agitation over the Gang of Four. Beyond simple touristic scenes, the collection depicts a state-sponsored version of everyday life in China during the early post-Mao era.

It also shows that White-on-White crime is still a problem.
@Shan –
"Hispanics/Mexicans are included in the "white" category for govt crime stats. From what I read, lumping them together started back in the 30s. Have no clue as to why."
It depends on the source. Until recent history, Hispanics weren't seen as a separate category from whites. It used to be more common to separate out other ethnic groups (such as Italian-Americans and Irish-Americans) than to separate out Hispanics.
"My guess is that were you to separate the two groups, Hispanics would take the lions share of the crime stats with them…leaving whites looking good in comparison to all other ethnic groups with the exception of Asians."
You don't need to guess. There is some data that does separate the two groups.
"Any way you look at it, black crime is way out of proportion to black americans relative percentage of the population."
You are looking at rather limited data. Sure, if you cherrypick data, you can support all kinds of preconceived conclusions. I just wrote a fuller survey of the data:
I'm old enough to remember the rampant racism of the 50's and 60's where whites were specifically going after blacks as they were seen as inferior, where lynchings were popular in the South, where they had to use separate rest rooms, where popular celebrates like Sammy Davis Jr had to use separate entrance where he would be entertaining, separate easting areas etc.
Basically keeping them out of jobs that would keep them out of poverty. If memory serves, there were few black on white crimes then. Yes, there were a few riots here and there when blacks got fed up. This is when the country wanted segregation and change was slow in coming.Eventually laws were enacted and people began to peacefully protest, all races supported equality riding buses for sit-ins, and marching with Martin Luther. Maybe the Blacks feel that not much have changed, although racism is somewhat more covert these days. Just look what Trump said about Obama being the last black president. That had nothing to do what he has or has not done as president. It's because of his race and so is all the stuff that he has had to deal with during his presidency. Everything from being a closet Muslim to not being born in the U.S. There have been more treats to Obama than any other president.
Why this is happening now is up to sociologist and psychologist to figure out. Maybe because of the fact that blacks commit more crimes than whites when there are only 13-14 percent of Blacks living in the U.S. is known to police and they will likely look more closely to the Black population. There are a lot of people who are among the "47" percent as Romney put it, which in itself is a condemnation of this country when the middle class is disappearing and this country if fast becoming an aristocracy, but we are not seeing an increase in white crimes other than corporate shenanigans. Get rid of income inequity and perhaps things will get better when it is easier to put food on the table, get a car that isn't 15 years old, and live in nice apartments that don't cost more than $1000 (double that in New York City)
A woman confronted EPA administrator Scott Pruitt at a restaurant in Washington, DC, on Monday, in the latest encounter between a member of the public and a Trump administration official.
Video of the incident was posted on Facebook, showing the woman, who identifies herself on her Facebook profile as Kristin Mink, criticizing Pruitt for decisions he has made at the EPA, and accusing him of failing to protect the environment.
"We deserve to have someone at the EPA who actually does protect our environment; someone who actually does believe in climate change and actually takes it seriously for the benefit of all of us, including our children," Mink said.
"So, I would urge you to resign before your scandals push you out," she added. Pruitt can be seen listening to Mink silently. The video ends shortly after she finished speaking. Mink says Pruitt left the restaurant before she returned to her seat.
Pruitt has been at the center of multiple scandals at the EPA since the Senate confirmed the Trump appointee in early 2017. The latest unflattering news surrounding Pruitt emerged on Monday with a CNN report in which a whistleblower claimed Pruitt kept "secret" calendars to hide "controversial meetings" and calls with industry representatives.
President Donald Trump has remained publicly supportive of Pruitt, despite the EPA chief's scandals.
The confrontation on Monday follows similar encounters between Trump administration officials and the public in recent weeks.

LONDON, July 4- The euro rose against the dollar on Wednesday but the move was limited as concerns ahead Washington's end-of-week deadline to impose tariffs on Chinese imports kept many investors on the sidelines.

The existence in ALL periods (according to A&G, §495 note) of "[participium] fuisse" as a form generally indistinguishable from "[participium] esse" is evidence enough for me that native speakers recognised the verbal-adjectival tension as ambiguous in tense terms.

Title: Contract for Web Services
About this Guide
Before you look at the sample contract provided, please read the following helpful guide…
Legal Contract FAQ - A primer for Clients on the essential aspects of legal contracts
Q: Why do I need a contract?
A: In fact - you will end up in a contract with your Developer whether you intend to or not. Contracts do not need to be in writing, nor do they need to be signed and so merely agreeing that the Developer will do some work for you will bring into existence a contract.
Q: If there is going to be a contract anyway - why should I have a "legal contract"
A: The answer is certainty. The vast majority of IT projects fail because of uncertainty; either uncertainty in the original specifications, uncertainty in the scope of the project, uncertainty in the time for completion and uncertainty as to the exact cost. Even when the web site is built there can be uncertainty in who owns the intellectual property in it and if things go wrong, you need be certain who is liable and for how much. Secondly, if you do not specify the contract to be used then there is a risk that you are contracting on the Developer's standard conditions of sale - a contract which is going to be biased heavily in favour of the Developer. A formal contract and specification which sets out the scope of the project is invaluable in ensuring that the project meets your expectations, is delivered on time (or at least in a time frame you expect) and is within budget.
Q: What contracts are in the Econsultancy pack?
A: There are three: a contract for developing and supporting a web site, some standard terms and condition for the web site itself and a privacy policy for the web site. Any lawyer will tell you that there no such thing as one standard contract - in the same way that there is not just one spanner for a mechanic. These contracts have been provided as example contracts, but when developing your own contracts you should ensure that they reflect the commercial arrangements that you want. This is quite "specialist" work and you should consider getting professional help from a suitably qualified UK lawyer.
Q: How does the contract for developing and supporting a web site work?
A: The contract is modular; on the first page you write in the names of the parties and some of the headline commercial terms and refer on that page to a number of schedules which will describe the project. You should always include Schedule A which contains the main legal terms and conditions. That first page, the Cover Page, is also the page which you sign. Although you don't need to sign a contract to make it enforceable - you can save yourself a lot of trouble later if you can point to the version of the contract which the parties agreed to with their signatures.
Q: What goes in the schedules?
A: The schedules will generally be written in collaboration with the Developer. Many of the schedules the Developer will need to create individually for your business anyway, for example, the functional specification, the storyboard (if you have one), the project plan and the description of the support services. For the reasons we discussed above, it is important that the schedules contain all the aspects of the project you are anticipating. The paragraph at the bottom of the Cover Page and clause 16.2 of the contract provides that if the feature or provision is not in the contract or schedule then it is not part of their scope of work.
Beware agreements to agree.
Q: Why?
A: They are generally only good for the Developer. An agreement to agree is unenforceable, as under English law you cannot force someone to agree in the future. If you leave schedules either incomplete or subject to further agreement then there is often no guarantee that you can get the things that you want in the schedule once the contract has been signed. Before the execution of the contract the Developer will be in sales mode, trying hard to get the contract, and will often describe you as partners with all the same goals. Once the contract is signed and work is underway, this partnership and goodwill may disappear, particularly if the Developer has taken on other clients who are competing for his/her time or if the project turns out to be much more time consuming than they anticipated - so eroding their profit margin.
Q: Invariably our projects change over time as the various parts of our business provide their input.
A: The basic principle is that you can always make a change to any part of the contract and schedules if it is with the agreement of all the parties. This contract provides that the change should be in writing (clause 3.1). Where you anticipate that there needs to be a change in the scope of the contract, clauses 3.1 to 3.3 provide a mechanism for you to ask the Developer to price the change before it goes ahead.
Q: What are intellectual property rights?
A: This question is really worth an FAQ of its own but essentially in this context there are several types of intellectual property: Patents - for inventions, Copyright - for text, pictures and software, Trademarks - for product and company names and Confidential Information. The basic rules to remember are:
(1)Generally and unless otherwise agreed, the person who creates the intellectual property owns it. If the Developer creates a bespoke site for you and you have no provisions in the contract about ownership of the intellectual property, then the Developer will own the intellectual property in the site. This can make things very difficult if you part company with the Developer and want to retain a successor developer.
(2)Intellectual property is like real property, you can both assign it and licence it. The parallel to real property is selling the freehold and granting a short lease for your apartment. As with real property assignments of intellectual property need to be in writing, signed, and should contain the words "assign with full title guarantee" to be fully effective (see clause 8.1). Ownership of patents must be registered, ownership of trademarks should be registered to make them most effective and ownership of copyright requires no registration or other formalities at all.
(3)If you think that the work to be developed might include an invention which can be patented then it is critical that details of the invention are kept confidential. A patent cannot be granted for inventions which are already in the public domain and so if the invention is disclosed before it is patented, then that will prevent a patent being obtained.
(4)A patent is essentially a monopoly over an invention and even if you do not consider obtaining a patent it is possible that the technology in the web site has already been patented by someone else. You can be liable for damages if you use someone else's patent without their permission. Our contract (see clauses 7.3 and 10) makes this the Developer's responsibility. You can learn more about patents and search a database of patents at http://www.ipo.gov.uk/patent.htm.
(5)A trademark is not a monopoly over use of the name or logo which is trademarked but it does help prevent other companies from using your company name or product name for their products. Similarly you may have inadvertently picked a company name or product name which has already been trademarked by someone else. The fact that you were able to pick your company name and get it on your certificate of incorporation does not mean that it is not someone else's trademark, as registering companies and registering trademarks are separate systems. You can learn more about trademarks and search the UK and European trademark registers at http://www.ipo.gov.uk/patent.htm. Although our contract makes infringement of intellectual property a risk for the Developer, you will be responsible for any intellectual property in the material you provide (described as Client Content - and to be provided by you in Schedule D). See clauses 7.4 and 10.
Q: The budget is quite tight for this project and we are already at the limit of it with the improvements that the Developer is recommending.
A: One of the best controls for keeping projects on track is controlling the payment of money. There are a large number of different ways to approach this but one technique which is firmly in your favour is to ensure that some payments are not made until certain milestones are reached. These milestones, and the appropriate payments should be set out in Schedule E - Project Plan. When the Developer finishes a section of the project which is subject to a milestone then the contract provides (see clause 2) that that section of the project should be subject to acceptance testing. As currently drafted the Developer does the testing, provides all the results to you and you inform them of any errors. They then need to go back, fix the errors and retest. If they fail this process three times then that is considered to be a breach of the contract. Again there are a number of variants to this process you can consider, in particular, you may wish to do some of the testing yourself or at least provide or agree certain for test data to be used.
Q: What are the most important bits of the contract?
A: Assuming that the project is scoped and that there are no "agreements to agree" then the most important aspects are price, liability and intellectual property. We have dealt with price and intellectual property but liability is more important yet. The only way for companies to limit liability is to agree enforceable limits in a contract. Our starting point is at clause 11. This language is extremely fair to the Developer - you might want to start your negotiation with the Developer by leaving clauses 7.4, 11.1 and 11.2 out. English law provides that you cannot set limits of liability unreasonably low and hence the mechanism which provides that the limit cannot drop below £10,000. The contract provides that the limit is set to twice the Fees. A Developer may resist this but it is a good starting point for negotiation. As a rule of thumb, the limit should never be set to be below the Fees. As an alternative, you could let the liability be limited to a set amount. Other aspects to this part of the deal are the types of loss which are recoverable. Currently we have been fair to the Developer by permitting the exclusion of consequential loss or damage (see clause 11.1). You may think that this is too generous. Lastly, we have, as is usual, sought to ensure that the limits of liability do not limit the protection we receive and give in relation to third party intellectual property infringement (see clause 11.2 linked to clause 10.1).
Q: What are the other contracts which you have provided?
A: We have also included a sample User Agreement for a web site and a sample Privacy Policy. These will be contracts between you and the users of the web site. It is important to ensure that these contracts are actually incorporated - and so the link to them should be clear on the principal pages of the web site and when the user goes through a registration process they should "click to accept" these terms and conditions. You should keep a record of all the "click to accepts" - it is important evidence in the case of a dispute. These contracts are for a very basic web site. If your web site downloads software onto the users computer or allows the user to enter into any commercial transactions then you will need additional terms and conditions. Distance selling is a regulated activity within Europe and so you should ensure that both the terms and conditions and the processes you use comply with the law. In conjunction with the Privacy Policy you should ask the User some questions which will allow them to elect what you do with their personal data. The law in this area is currently changing and so I would recommend that the default position for each user is that you do not pass their data to any third parties unless they have specifically requested it (called "opt-in").

Douglas MacArthur Quote
"A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him."
―Douglas MacArthur
As quoted in: General MacArthur Speeches and Reports 1908-1964, p. 249
"Our government has kept us in a perpetual state of fear - kept us in a continuous stampede of patriotic fervor - with the cry of grave national emergency. Always there has been some terrible evil at home or some monstrous foreign power that was going to gobble us up if we did not blindly rally behind it by furnishing the exorbitant funds demanded. Yet, in retrospect, these disasters seem never to have happened, seem never to have been quite real."
―Douglas MacArthur
In 1957. As quoted in "Merchants of Fear: Why They Want Us to Be Afraid", Christopher Catherwood, Joseph DiVanna, Globe Pequot, 2008, p. 131
"Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory."
―Douglas MacArthur
"A Father's Prayer". As quoted in "General MacArthur: Wisdom and Visions", compiled by Edward T. Imparato, Turner Publishing Company, 2000, p. 158

Logica salvages gov contracts
'Savings', not cuts
Logica has signed an agreement with the coalition government which should save its existing contracts, although it has agreed to some cuts - or "efficiency savings".
The reseller said the scale of cuts was within forecasts and therefore its targets for the year were unchanged.
Logica said it had been in discussions with Francis Maude and the Cabinet Office since July.
Public sector contracts contributed 12 per cent of Logica's total revenues in 2009. It has contracts with 55 government departments and agencies.
Logica shares are up very slightly on the news. The full statement is here. ®

Dynamic User Built Charts
In the past I have run into situations where a project requires a chart to be "user driven" and the users have limited knowledge on how to create the charts they want. So I decided to pre-build a chart that would allow users to simply select the Dimensions and Expressions they need, which eliminated the need for them to create the charts.
In this post I have created a basic example of how some simple Inline tables and conditional chart logic can help you achieve a custom user driven chart.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Gina Easler (Edgefield, S.C.) belted a home run in each of Coker's games against Limestone, helping the Cobras earn a two game sweep of the Saints on Saturday. Coker won game one 6-2 and then held on to win game two 5-4. The wins improve the Cobras to 15-15 overall and 8-8 in Conference Carolinas.
In game one, it was Easler and Sydney Weatherford (Scranton, S.C.) that led the offense. Both players sent balls over the fence; Easler's was a solo shot, while Weatherford's was a grand slam. Jennifer Sanborn (Beaufort, S.C.) drove in the Cobras other run of the game with a pitch hit RBI single.
Becky Dillon (West Palm Beach, Fla.) (4-4) earned the win. She allowed just two runs on eight hits in 6.1 innings in the circle. She also struck out three.
In game two the Cobras scored five runs in the first inning and then held off the Saints for the remaining six to take home the 5-4 win.
Easler had a three-run homer, while Stacy Burr (Darlington, S.C.) had an RBI and Clarissa Suttle (Piedmont, S.C.) had a pair of hits.
Three Cobra pitchers combined to keep the Saints at bay. Katie Lee (Debray, Fla.) (5-2) took home the win with 2.2 innings of work, allowing three runs on four hits. Dillon got the save. She held Limestone scoreless and allowed just one hit in two innings of work.
The Cobras will be back on the diamond for a non-conference doubleheader on Sunday starting at noon at home against Flagler College.
McDonald's Player of the Game- Gina Easler
Easler had two home runs and four RBIs in Coker's two games.
The McDonald's Player of the Game is presented by the Hartsville McDonald's and is given to the most outstanding performer during each Coker College home athletic event.

There is so much more to typography than fonts. With the use of font weights, sizes, colors, line spacing, line length you can make any content a pleasure to consume – even if the font is Arial!! Look at this very site.
I'm not against the advance of typography on the web. But don't forget about the tools at hand. Keep it simple!

The Complete Bidenisms
Collecting the vice president's gaffes and head-slappers.
The precise definition of Bidenism, like a Bidenism itself, is murky. Some Bidenisms are the sort of miscellaneous verbal or policy gaffes that are made by every politician. But the best ones—the statements that are uniquely Bidenistic—exemplify the bluster, excess verbosity, and fake charm of dumb-politician stereotypes, yet they come from a seasoned politico who can also be clever and self-effacing.

Working on my AI lately and have some questions:
1. How do I go about finding the component name of a system droid? Most of the time I can just do droid.weapons[x].name to get whatever the name is of the component, but this fails if it has repairs/sensors/command-turret/spade and similar. Would be useful for recycling a sensor for a wide-spectrum sensor or light-repair for heavy-repair turrets.
2. Droids that have a command turret are considered the type DROID_WEAPON instead of DROID_COMMAND. I am experimenting to see if commanders would be useful (only built when the attack group is large enough). Not sure if this is a bug or is intentional.
3. Sometimes I see trucks that spin around in circles forever until they are destroyed or manually moved. This seems to happen almost immediately when something is built next to them and they are moving towards a different target. Any tips on how to stop that?
I may have more questions later.

Suspect in Danbury homicide jailed
DANBURY -- A judge set bond at $1 million Monday for a 20-year-old Bridgeport man charged with a fatal shooting on White Street this month.
Garfield Sanderson appeared before Judge Anthony Avallone in state Superior Court just hours after his arrest at his home on Main Street in Bridgeport.
Officers from the Danbury and Bridgeport police departments found Sanderson, along with two handguns, and took him into custody on a warrant in the May 3 homicide. Members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force also assisted in the arrest.
Sanderson's arrest came just nine days after Jeliel Kingston, 23, was gunned down after a late-night fight at the Mambo Cafe on Elm Street. Police who answered a 2 a.m. call about the fight heard gunshots nearby. They found Kingston's body on the sidewalk along White Street near Main.
Kingston later died at Danbury Hospital. An autopsy found that he died of gunshot wounds to the arm and torso.
Soon after the shooting, Danbury police detectives established the connection to Bridgeport, where police detectives joined the investigation.
"This was cooperation between law enforcement agencies at its best," said Bridgeport Police Capt. James Viadero. "The only goal was to take a very dangerous person off the street."
Police officials' fear that the shooting would spark retaliatory attacks was realized just two days after Kingston's death.
Police said Rashad Dancy, 25, sprayed gunfire from the window of a car at a home on the eastern end of Bridgeport, where Kingston lived. Dancy was arrested days later during a vehicle stop in Bridgeport.
Details of the shooting in Danbury, as well as its reverberations in Bridgeport, were not yet clear Monday, because the arrest warrant against Sanderson is sealed.
Avallone scheduled a probable cause hearing in the case for June 23.
