Chumash bid to buy cave sparks casino fears
Los Angeles --
The Chumash tribe has expressed interest in buying a 450-acre slice of a contaminated nuclear research facility in the hills between the Simi and San Fernando valleys, hoping to preserve a cave that its members consider sacred.
The tribe's inquiries about acquiring part of the 2,849-acre Santa Susana Field Laboratory have stirred concern among some residents who fear the purchase might be a back door to building a casino.
"I very much respect their desire to protect sacred sites, but I want to make sure any such action precludes the establishment of a casino," said Ventura County Supervisor Linda Parks.
Sam Cohen, government affairs and legal officer for the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash, said there is no possibility of a casino on the property. The tribe wants to protect a swath of land that includes the Burro Flats Painted Cave, which is decorated with some of the best-preserved American Indian pictographs in California.
"If the tribe owns the land, we'll be in the best position to protect sacred sites," Cohen said.
Cleanup pact binding?
Parks questioned whether the Chumash, a sovereign nation like other federally recognized tribes, would be bound by the elaborate cleanup agreement orders that apply to the portion of the sprawling facility that they are seeking.
Most of the lab site is owned by Boeing, which purchased it when the company acquired Rocketdyne in 1996. Boeing has not signed on to a 2010 cleanup plan with state regulators, but under the plan, NASA and the U.S. Department of Energy have promised to remove tainted soil and pollutants from the areas they control by 2017.
The Painted Cave is on NASA land.
Listed in 1976 on the National Register of Historic Places, Burro Flats has long been recognized for its archaeological significance. Perhaps as long as 1,000 years ago, American Indian groups used the cave for rituals. Its walls are lined with paintings, including stick-figure animals and cornstalk-like plants.
On the first day of winter, a shaft of light illuminates a design resembling a target; some researchers believe it was used in a ceremony marking the winter solstice.
Rocket-fuel tests
Established in 1947, the secretive Santa Susana lab tested liquid propellants for rocket engines. In 1957, one of the country's first commercial nuclear power plants was built at the site, generating electricity for nearby Moorpark. In 1959, that plant was also the site of the first partial nuclear meltdown in the United States, an accident revealed only decades later. Over the years, the lab generated toxic and radioactive wastes that neighbors blamed for cancer and other illnesses.
Even amid testing of about 30,000 rocket engines, the area around the cave was not damaged. Tight security kept visitors away. Over the years, NASA has allowed in closely escorted groups of American Indians "for ceremonial purposes," but such treks have become increasingly rare, said Merrilee Fellows, a NASA spokeswoman.
Although decades of security have helped preserve the cave's painted images, Cohen said, the tribe fears the effects of possible cleanup measures, including one he described as "scraping the site clean."
State denials
Officials say such fears are unfounded.
"We've heard hyperbole being kicked around about scraping the top off the mountain, and it's not remotely accurate," said Rick Brausch, who is directing the cleanup for the California Department of Toxic Substances Control.
Scientists are still gauging the scope of contamination on the NASA-controlled property, he said. Some of the cleanup will involve carting off truckloads of soil. Other methods have not yet been determined.
"We don't even think there's contamination in that particular area" of the cave, Brausch said. "If there were, we'd design a strategy that wouldn't destroy the resource."
Regardless of whether the land changes hands, the cleanup will proceed, officials said.
The federal General Services Administration has deemed the NASA portion of the lab "excess" property, indicating its willingness to sell. In September, the Bureau of Indian Affairs told the agency that the tribe was interested in mounting a bid. No price has been disclosed.
Cohen said the tribe might collaborate with other American Indian groups to build a cultural center.
He said the tribe would not seek to make the land part of its reservation - a legal requirement for tribal gambling operations. The Chumash have met stiff opposition in their attempt to annex 1,400 acres just down the road from their tiny Santa Ynez reservation. Neighbors fear the tribe will erect a casino on the property, a scenario the tribe denies.

While still living in Mexico Rotberg directed her first film, the feature length documentary Elvira Luz Cruz: Pema Maxima (1985). It was awarded Best Documentary by the Mexican Film Academy and the Bochica de Oro Award for Best Latin-American Documentary, Colombia.
Following this she directed her first feature film Intimacy in 1989 and then went on to write, direct and produce her second feature Angel de Fuego (Angel of Fire). She is best known for this film as it was selected as the opening film for Quinzaine des Réalisateurs (Director's Fortnight) at the Cannes International Film Festival in 1992. The film was well received and went on to screen at film festivals around the world.
Following this success, Rotberg spent the next few years in Sarajevo, Bosnia & Herzegovina where she co-produced two films that also secured the opening spot at Quinzaine des Réalisateurs (Cannes International Film Festival).
The feature length documentary MGM Sarajevo. Man, God and the Monster (MGM Sarajevo –Covjek, Bog, Monstrum) opened Quinzaine des Réalisateurs in 1994, and the Bosnia, France and Netherlands co-production The Perfect Circle took the same opening spot in 1997.
The Perfect Circle won the François Chalais Award and the Cannes Junior Prix at Cannes that year. After this attention the film went on to win many other awards: Special Jury Prize, Paris Film Festival, Best Director Award and Tokyo Grand Prix, Tokyo International Film Festival, FIPRESCI Prize – Special Mention, Valladolid International Film Festival, Wim Van-Leer prize, Jerusalem International Film Festival.
She moved back to Mexico in 1997 and in 2000 she directed and co-wrote the feature film Otlia Rauda which won the NHK Filmmaker's Award at the 2000 Sundance Film Festival.
Rotberg has recently written and directed Medicine Woman (Working Title), adapted from a novella by renowned New Zealand author Witi Ihimaera. The film is final stages of post production with release expected early 2013.

HIPAA Compliance: Latest Privacy and Security Rules
A long-awaited update to the patient privacy and security rules that were established 10 years ago under HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is meaning significant changes for family physicians and their practices. Recently released regulations that enforce the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act expand the scope of the privacy and security provisions of HIPAA. The updated rules, which went into effect March 26, 2013, and which practices must comply with by Sept. 23, 2013, may be confusing to some, but this much is clear: The penalties for violations of the law have increased, and the government will enforce these rules, even for relatively small practices.
This article is intended to provide practical guidance to help physicians and their practices understand and comply with the law. While occasional errors in managing protected health information (PHI) are inevitable, it is increasingly evident that prevention is by far the best tactic.
Business associates: who, what, and when?
The "business associate" (BA) section of HIPAA, which dictates with whom a health care provider or other covered entity may share PHI, frequently confuses practices; namely, how do you define who is a BA? As a general rule, the fundamental question to ask yourself is "Do they perform a service on our behalf that has them accessing, using, and/or disclosing our patients' PHI?" If the answer is "yes," then the entity is probably your BA. While relatively straightforward in theory, this question can be harder to answer in practice, because whether an entity is your BA also depends on the nature of the activity the entity performs for you and the degree of control you exercise over it.
Not all disclosures of PHI create a BA relationship. For example, referring a patient to radiology for an imaging study does not make your practice the BA of the radiology practice. Likewise, the radiology practice would not be your BA when it sends back the results. Each entity is using the PHI for its own purposes, and the disclosure is done by one covered entity to another for treatment purposes. But if your practice was purchasing and billing for the diagnostic tests performed by the radiology group, then the radiology group would be your practice's BA.
If you have direct control over the individuals performing the service, they generally are not BAs and are instead considered "workforce." Your own staff members are not your BAs. By contrast, an independent contractor over whom you exercise no control at all (such as your attorney or your call service) is a BA if it has access to your practice's PHI.
However, things become more complicated if you exercise a sufficient degree of control over a separate corporate entity to make it an "agent" of your practice under federal common law. In such cases, you are responsible for its PHI infractions. For example, a staffing company that provides part-time physician assistants to your practice could be a BA. But your practice might also be held responsible for HIPAA violations by the physician assistants as you have a greater degree of control when they are working in your facility. In essence, the physician assistants are your agents even though you do not directly employ them.
The new regulations expand the number of entities that are considered BAs because of the routine access to PHI that they require. These can include electronic prescribing gateways, health information organizations, and other data-transmission services. Similarly, entities that maintain PHI on behalf of a covered entity, such as your document storage company, are now considered BAs. However, the regulations exempt entities with "random" access to PHI (such as an Internet service provider), considering them to be a "mere conduit" of information. Your electronic health record (EHR) vendor is considered a BA if it provides "personal health records" to patients on your practice's behalf. There is currently no standard definition of a personal health record, but the OCR provides some guidance. In many cases, you may have already established a BA agreement with such entities. If not, you must have these agreements in place.
Before passage of the HITECH Act, BAs would be liable for breach of contract only if they failed to meet an obligation of a BA agreement. However, the HITECH Act made BAs directly liable under HIPAA, meaning that a BA now has the same legal exposure as a covered entity and the government can enforce directly against the BA. The regulations also now require BAs to bind any subcontractor to a BA agreement. Moreover, those subcontractors are themselves directly liable under the law. In other words, each link in the chain is directly liable under the law, and each must bind any immediate subcontractor to a BA agreement. Make sure that you have the required agreements in place to comply with the law and that those agreements obligate your BAs to bind their subcontractors to a BA agreement. In addition, where possible avoid exercising too much control over the BA to avoid the law treating the BA as your agent.
Patient access to information
HIPAA established that patients have the right to access their PHI as well as control how information in their medical record can be changed.1 The new rules explicitly say that if you are using an EHR you must give the patient copies of electronic records if they ask for them. The regulations allow for a wide range of formats, such as PDF, HTML, MS Word, Excel, and text-based files. Unfortunately, not all EHRs make it easy to provide copies or excerpts. The law imposes this burden on all covered entities, which most family physicians are today.
Patients can also direct a physician in writing to transmit PHI to a third party. This is a long-standing policy in most practices when it comes to sharing information with other physicians or hospitals, although some practices mistakenly believe that HIPAA prevents such sharing without a written consent or authorization. Remember that no authorization or consent is required to share PHI with another party for purposes of treatment, payment, or operations of the practice. Your "Notice of Privacy Practices" should make that clear. The patient must provide prior authorization or consent in writing only if the information contains psychotherapeutic notes or is used for marketing or sale. The new standard pertains to disclosures made to other types of third parties, such as employers.
Under the new rules, it is entirely legitimate for a physician practice to charge the patient for the labor and materials (e.g., CDs, paper, or thumb drives) to produce the information requested. In addition, you can charge for postage if you have to send the information through the mail. Most state laws allow physicians to make a reasonable charge for copies of medical records, but you should consult your state society to determine the parameters of these laws in your state. It is also wise to train staff on dealing with these requests, especially on steps to take to ensure that the right person receives the right records.
Others' access to information
For physicians who have wondered about their responsibilities to safeguard the privacy of a deceased patient's PHI, the new rules establish that the privacy rule applies for 50 years after death. As to what the family is allowed to see after the patient dies, the rules establish that the practice must respect the patient's wishes, regardless of whether the family member requesting information was paying for or was otherwise involved in the care. If the patient expressly told the practice not to show the information to a paying family member or says to show the information to someone otherwise uninvolved with the care or payment, then the practice must abide by the patient's request. If the patient dies without providing directions of this sort, the default position is that family members involved in the care or payment for the patient can see the information while uninvolved family members cannot.
A new rule explicitly allows a physician to disclose proof of immunization to a school if the law requires it as part of a student's admission. Written authorization is not required, but you still must obtain a verbal agreement from a parent, guardian, or the student if he or she is an adult or emancipated minor. As always, when the authorization is obtained verbally, the date, time, and name of the person to whom the authorization was provided should be entered in the record, to create an audit trail showing that you have followed the rules.
Finally, patients who choose to pay out of pocket for a health service rather than having a claim submitted to their health plan may dictate that their insurer not have access to information about the service. This is most common among patients with employer-sponsored health plans who do not want their employers to know about a medical condition. Patients may want to restrict health plans from having access to other data as well. Your practice should develop procedures to ensure that the appropriate staff are made aware of such requests, that restricted information is documented appropriately and flagged, and that payments are processed appropriately.

A dying breed?: Black Friday shoppers walk through Honey Creek Mall on Nov. 24, 2017. Staff file photo by Austen Leake
It's part of the local culture. Terre Haute was a brick-and-mortar shopping hub before anyone used the term "brick-and-mortar." For many, memories of youth are linked with trips to downtown department stores to buy back-to-school clothes or corduroy pants for the winters, the pungent aroma of onions on the submarine sandwiches inside the entrance of Kmart on Wabash Avenue, or sipping a creamy drink at Orange Julius restaurant in Honey Creek Mall.
That culture has changed, and continues to change. That reality was reaffirmed by Wednesday's announcement by Macy's that the national retail chain will close its Honey Creek Mall store in March. Macy's occupies one of the mall's longtime anchor spots — the two-story building on the mall's south end. Roots first filled that location in 1970, joining Sears on the mall's north end, followed by L.S. Ayers in 1998 and finally Macy's in 2006. Today, brick-and-mortar stores and malls face increasing competition from bigbox stores and online retailers, such as Amazon. Nationwide, online purchases on Black Friday surged 17 percent during this past Christmas season, compared to 2016, according to statistics from Adobe Digital Insights reported in The New York Times last month. Meanwhile, this year's closing of the local Macy's is part of a plan, announced by the company last summer, to close more than 100 stores. On Thursday, Sears announced it will close more than 100 stores in 2018, but the Terre Haute's outlet — the original Honey Creek Mall store — was not on that list.
Retail workers here, as well as shoppers, wonder what the future holds for that sector of the labor force and economy. It's a significant concern. A hefty 12.4 percent of Vigo County's jobs are in retail trade, according to the Indiana Business Research Center and Indiana University's Kelley School of Business. That number has dropped since a peak in December 1995, when 14,500 Hauteans earned paychecks in retail. In October, the local retail workforce numbered 9,200, up slightly from the Great Recession years. Retail and its employees have a future in Terre Haute. It will require adaptation, said Carol Rogers, deputy director of the Indiana Business Research Center in Indianapolis. Malls that lose a large department store are filling those vacant spaces with a Target or Walmart outlet, or a combination of smaller retail shops, entertainment businesses, pop-up stores (those on flexible, short-term leases), Rogers explained. As for the employees, the closing of those department stores can feel devastating to those laid-off workers, Rogers said, but options after those shutdowns exist in this increasingly digital economy.
"To me, Macy's leaving isn't a sign of a dying economy in Terre Haute," Rogers said. Instead, "this is a Macy's problem." She expects many people traditionally drawn to retail work to fill jobs providing retail-style services to the large, aging Baby Boom population. Some many start their own micro-businesses. Think: "Alexa, find me someone to deliver my groceries." Such quick, digital connection to services will "allow a lot more people to stay home and request things," Rogers said. That list includes not only groceries, but health care supplies, prepared meals and household items.
Somebody has to gather and deliver those goods. And that's one of the new faces of retail. For Terre Haute to maintain a niche in the retail market, that diversification must happen on a larger scale, said Robert Guell, an economics professor at Indiana State University. Companies that supply materials to giant e-retailers elsewhere could provide jobs here. For example, a local plant could make packaging, or even recycle packages — think of all those boxes leftover from Christmas online purchases — for an Amazon-style fulfillment center in Indianapolis or another metro. Terre Haute's proximity to Interstate 70 and U.S. 41, railroads and Terre Haute Regional Airport make it a logical location for such businesses. "We have significant logistical advantages that are mostly untapped," Guell said.
Next month, Guell and Rose-Hulman associate professor of economics Kevin Christ will present the local economic forecast for 2018 at the annual Groundhog Day breakfast Feb. 6 on the ISU campus. They'll offer predictions for various sectors of the economy here, including retail.
Christ emphasizes that he doesn't specialize in retail economics, but like most of us has memories of shopping outings as a youngster. He grew up in St. Louis, "and I lament not being able to go downtown and look in the decorated windows of Famous Barr." That retail store had its headquarters there, since opening in 1911. It became a Macy's in 2006, and then closed in 2013.
"We have just changed the way we acquire the things we want," Christ said.
And those changes keep on coming.

36 vintage Corvettes in a parking garage in Brooklyn.
One Corvette for each year they were made, starting with a pearl-white '53 (one of only 300) and ending with a red 1989, they were the prize in a contest sponsored by VH1, the cable music channel, in 1989. The contest awarded the whole lot to one winner, Dennis Amodeo, a carpenter from Long Island. HE sold the whole bunch for $500,000 to Peter Max who intended to paint them all as rolling art, but never got around to it. So the Vettes sat and gathered dust for about 20 years. They recieved a lot of publicity... but no love or interest from Peter.
The collection was a promotion envisioned by Jim Cahill who realized the VH1 audience was a good target demographic for any year Corvette and the contest would boost ratings. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/14/automobiles/collectibles/14corvette.html and http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/people/columns/intelligencer/11902/

York is a walled city, situated at the confluence of the Rivers Ouse and Foss in North Yorkshire, England. The city has a rich heritage and has provided the backdrop to major political events throughout much of its two millennia of existence.
The city was founded by the Romans in 71 AD. They called it Eboracum, a name perhaps derived from one used by the British tribes who inhabited the area. The Romans made it the capital of their Province of Britannia Inferior. While the Roman colonia and fortress were located on high ground, by 400 the town itself was victim to periodic flooding from the rivers Ouse and Foss and lay abandoned. In the early 5th century the area was settled by Angles, who called the town Eoforwic. Reclamation of the flooded parts of the town were initiated in the 7th century under King Edwin. The city came to be the episcopal, and later, royal centre of the Kingdom of Northumbria. The Vikings captured the city in 866 AD, and for the period between 866 and the final incorporation of Northumbria into the Kingdom of England in 954, York is sometimes referred to by modern writers by its Scandinavianised form, Jórvík. The name in its modern form "York" was first used in the 13th century. In the Middle Ages York grew as a major wool trading centre and the ecclesiastical capital of the northern province of England. The Province of York has remained one of the two Church of England ecclesiastical provinces, along with that of Canterbury.
York's location on the River Ouse, in the centre of the Vale of York and half way between the capitals of London and Edinburgh means that it has long had a significant position in the nation's transport system. The 19th century saw York, under the influence of George Hudson, become an important hub of the railway network and a manufacturing centre. In recent decades, the economy of York has moved from being dominated by its confectionery and railway-related industries to one that provides services. The University of York and health services have become major employers. Tourism also boosts the local economy because the city offers a wealth of historic attractions, of which York Minster is the most prominent, and a variety of cultural activities. In 2009 it was the 7th most visited city by UK residents and the 13th most visited by overseas visitors. York Racecourse and Bootham Crescent, the home of York City FC, are the most prominent sporting venues in the city and the River Ouse provides opportunities for both sporting and leisure pursuits.
From 1996, the term City of York describes a unitary authority area which includes rural areas beyond the old city boundaries.

Productivity is a popular topic among business owners. The equation is simple: the more productive your workers are, the fewer workers you need to get the job done, and the healthier your bottom line is. The key is to balance productivity with workload so you and your staff are not overworked or overstressed.
Some of the most famous people across history, from Ben Franklin to President Obama, have offered wisdom that we can all use to maximize productivity.
Sharpen Your Focus
Ben Franklin was a wealth of practical advice, and most of his wisdom is timeless. One piece of advice that rings particularly true amid all the distractions of today is, "Lose no time; be always employ'd in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions." If he were alive today, he might say "Don't play Angry Birds when you're supposed to be working."
Stephen King may be the most prolific writer in history. His writing philosophy is simple and direct. He sets a goal and achieves it. Every day. No excuses. Ten pages a day, 365 days a year, adds up to a lot of novels (more than 50 to date), and an incredibly productive work schedule. The lesson here: Set daily goals—and keep them.
Dallas Mavericks owner and HDNet ceo Mark Cuban's advice for productivity is as straightforward and unconventional as he is: Skip meetings. "Meetings are a waste of time unless you are closing a deal." Let's face it, it's hard to get things done when you spend the whole day talking about getting things done.
Steve Jobs once offered an invaluable piece of advice to the brand-new (at the time) ceo of Nike, Mike Parker. "Nike makes some of the best products in the world," Jobs said. "Products that you lust after. Absolutely beautiful, stunning products. But you also make a lot of crap. Just get rid of the crappy stuff and focus on the good stuff." That's pretty simple, and it applies to workload as well as to shoes. What are you or your workers doing that doesn't sell, or wastes time and money? Stop doing that.
Know Your Customer
Mark Zuckerberg, the face of Facebook, offers this sage advice: Be where your customers are. Simple indeed, but many customers leave businesses in the dust, lured away by shiny things from competitors. Customers are fickle and the market changes constantly. Businesses that can't keep up are like Oldsmobile—big, clunky gas-burners trying to compete against sporty, fuel-efficient cars. One Wall St. analyst put Oldsmobile's demise down to lack of imagination. Whatever the root cause, one thing is certain: they lost sight of the wants and needs of their core customer base. Oldsmobile did not go where their customers were.
Motivate Your People
Jack Welch was the legendary force behind the mercurial rise of G.E. His plan for success includes this sage advice for effective leadership. "Leaders know how to spark/motivate others to perform. They outline a vision and are able to direct other people to carry it out. Energizers know how to get people excited, and they are able to give credit when due and accept responsibility for mistakes." Be dynamic. Engage your people. If you can pull your team into your vision, they will work their hearts out to make it happen.
Get Your ZZZZZs
The one thing we all lack today is rest, and many of history's most productive people were adamant about getting theirs. In 1735, Ben Franklin published "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." In October 2012, Arianna Huffington said, "My single most effective trick for getting things done is to stop doing what I'm doing and get some sleep." Some things remain true no matter how many centuries pass.
Organize, Prioritize, and Balance
President of the United States is one of the most demanding jobs on the planet. So what does President Obama have to say about productivity?
Get a head start on your day the night before. President Obama spends his evenings organizing and prioritizing to get a jump on the next day.
Limit decision fatigue. What's for lunch? Who cares? The president doesn't waste time with frivolous decisions like what to wear or what to eat. His staff knows what he likes and what his nutritional needs are, and all his suits are gray or black. He expects memos to have decision boxes for him to read and check off: either "agree," "disagree," or "let's discuss," so he can make snap decisions on small matters and move on. The takeaway: Don't sweat the small stuff.
His other tips are more personal. He keeps two periods of time sacrosanct: family dinner time with his daughters, and morning exercise. These things are vital for physical and mental health, and even a person as busy as the president can appreciate the importance of work/life balance.
Bottom line: focus; avoid distraction; organize; set goals; don't waste resources on losing projects or unproductive pursuits; inspire others; get enough sleep and exercise; and don't ever forget your family. In other words, history's most productive people practiced something that's not so common today—common sense.

First time BOSCH has invited Start Ups, Coders, Makers and BOSCH divisions on a two day Meet Up in Berlin: the BOSCH connected experience 2016.
It was inspiring to see a large enterprise opens up its mindset to the agile world of Start Ups and Coders.
Okay, sometimes it was a bit strange to see the BOSCH people wearing nerd styled printed T-Shirts – but well, that's more pointed to BOSCH internal organization: people get off ties and suits – because you can disrupt, even if you only wear a t-shirt.
But more important than the dress code: a large organization is changing it mindsets towards disruptive business models in the Internet of Things. And I am curious to see, if this big vessel BOSCH can keep direction until 2020. If they succeed BOSCH can become an important serious player in the IoT Game of Thrones with the dominating Corps as Amazon, Google and Alibaba.
Things I wish for the 2nd connected experience in 2017: engage more Start Ups to discuss their business with BOSCH. I believe both parties can get a better Win-Win learning from mice perspective and the view of the big Elephant.
In summary the 1st. connected experience by BOSCH was a brilliant kick off. Thanks for the Invitation and I am looking forward to attend in 2017.

Midterms Matter for Andy Bernstein and HeadCount
Not taking the time to get even slightly involved in the political process by casting a vote for or against a candidate or a proposition is like a concert with an unresponsive audience. You end up with an onstage performance featuring a group of musicians doing strictly what it wants, with no consideration to please those in front of the stage.
In fact, paying attention to and making your voice heard among elected officials at the federal, state and local levels is much more important than knowing the setlist from a 1998 Phish show or any other jamband, because it truly affects your life on a daily basis.
Realizing that apathy towards politics can be a dangerous thing, Andy Bernstein, co-founder of the Pharmer's Almanac, and Marc Brownstein of Disco Biscuits started HeadCount back in 2004. The purpose was simple – register voters.
Bernstein recalled that time as he was driving to First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, Illinois, site of a Dave Matthews Band concert, and the final stop on this year's HeadCount Midterms Matter Tour registration drive.
"I think a lot of people were asking themselves what they could do to get involved, and I was asked myself that question and so was Marc Brownstein. We came up with the idea for HeadCount and put things together very quickly in a very large scale in 2004.
It received an immediate shot in the arm with some of the jamband scene's biggest acts including The Dead, Phish, Dave Matthews Band, String Cheese Incident, Gov't Mule, moe., The Disco Biscuits and Galactic as well as at festivals such as Bonnaroo and High Sierra inviting the newly minted organization to set up at concerts. Also, public service announcements were made by members of many of the same bands, which stressed the importance of registering and voting.
Bob Weir sits on the Board of Directors as well as Al Schnier of moe. and Vince Herman. DMB donated $15,000 in 2004 and again this year.
"The artists are very personally active. One of the things we did this year was a lot of artist appearances at our booths. Warren Haynes did it. Bela Fleck did it. Mike Gordon."
As for co-founder Brownstein, "We do a weekly conference call every week. Marc and I probably talk three or four times a week and HeadCount is always part of the conversation.
The efforts of that initial effort resulted in nearly 49,000 new voters.
Despite the excitement of how much was accomplished, HeadCount, like other voter registration organizations geared towards youth disappeared from public view shortly after the final electoral votes were counted.
"I would say we were absolutely exhausted. It was like a sprint to the finish line. We had to assess what did we have? It took us awhile but we eventually got to a point where we said, 'You know? We have something really special here.' I remember an email that I got in February of this year where somebody who was a volunteer in 2004 said, 'Something this magical can't die.' It really hit home with me. I felt like everybody involved in the organization, our work just wasn't done."
What also stirred Bernstein into resurrecting HeadCount is the fact that midterm elections are no less important than a year that includes a presidential election.
"If anything it's more important. Midterm elections, there's much more of a drop off in participation among young people than older people and that inherently skews the results. And it means that, young people, our interests are not being represented in Congress in Governors offices. So, there's a real call to action."
Taking matters a step further than last time, HeadCount supplied information on candidates running in each state. It also plans to have a "very large presence" at the upcoming Vegoose music festival in Las Vegas, which runs from Oct. 27 through 31.
Unlike two years ago, HeadCount hasn't taken a rest since that last DMB date. Bernstein said there are plans to stay active all the way up to the Nov. 7 election. That includes having a number of the participating musicians take part in sending two email reminders to the new voters.
"We think it'll be very powerful," said Bernstein.
Since the jamband scene is not looked upon as a major source for conservative thought, it wasn't difficult for some to view HeadCount as encouraging one type of voter over another.
"It's something that we get asked about from time to time," admitted Bernstein. "I don't think it's a problem at all. Clearly, the audience we reach is the same audience that reads Relix, the same that reads Jambands, and I think some people make assumptions about the politics of that audience. But, a very large percentage of our registrations come from the Dave Mathews Band shows. You can throw the assumptions out the window. I can assure you we've never said, 'Let's not do a DMB show because we're going to get different kinds of people there.' We're all about registering voters.
"The way the organization functions is in a very non-partisan way. Something that I'm not afraid to say is that HeadCount, as an organization, and the people involved have very strong values about some very core things that we believe in and one of them is participation. If some people associate that with progressiveness, so be it. But we believe in a very strong way that everyone should participate in the process. So, there is a message to our organization. We're not just throwing out paper work. We're really trying to tell people that we, as a community, should be active and we should have our voice heard."
With all the work that's been done this year, it's possible that HeadCount could become more than a tool for voter registration. Similar to other grassroots organizations, politicians pay better attention when confronted by a united group of citizens.
"It's something that I've been thinking about a lot. That's the kind of thing that we're still figuring out and at the right time we'll figure out. But I can tell you there's one thing that we're already determined about our future, and that's what we aim to do is not just a voter registration organization, but what I call the community-organizing arm of the live music scene.
If somebody goes to a concert right now, if they're politically minded, socially conscious, there isn't really an outlet for them. What we want to do is use concerts as a gathering point for people like that, to bring together like-minded people and then support action in communities around very basic social justice principles."
He brings up two possible examples that could use HeadCount as a more than a registration tool – organizing a protest of a factory that's polluting or doing a letter writing campaign to encourage more voting machines for precincts that are plagued by long lines that end up discouraging turnout.
"That's the kind of thing that we can do that fits in with our "non-partisan mission. We're not getting behind an individual politician, but it's a very important future extension of what I think we can become.
"There is precedent for that. There are a lot of organizations that are politically non-partisan but are very, very active on certain issues or just holding government accountable. Holding government accountable goes across party lines and that's something that we, as an organization, want to be a part of."
While he may be exhausted after putting together last summer's round of HeadCount activities, which included booths at Bonnaroo, Wakarusa, 10,000 Lakes, All Good, Camp Bisco V and concerts by Phil Lesh & Friends and Trey Anastasio, Bernstein is clearly satisfied with what's been accomplished.
"This year, we're thinking long term and trying to build a bigger organization for the future. So, we were very focused on the quality of what we were doing. Build the core teams up."
Most importantly, the organization met its goal of signing up 5,000 people.
"We were paying a lot of attention to efficiency, keeping our dollars spent very low so that we could go in the future to foundations and things like that and show that we're one of the most efficient voter registration groups out there."
But, unlike last time he's already looking towards what can be done in the future to give HeadCount a bigger presence and a stronger influence.
"After this year, it's all about becoming a much larger organization in 2008. It means bringing in foundation support, potentially. Corporate support if it's the right form. Uncompromised. Planning. We'd love to do a big benefit concert in early '07 and kick things off with a bang.
"We need to be a much larger organization. HeadCount is run entirely by volunteers in all of our spare time. I think what the team has done this year is amazing considering that everybody's got to earn a living. I would hope at some point we'll have an Executive Director who can be completely focused on HeadCount. Maybe a few people can be focused on HeadCount because in the end you can only go so far without having that backbone. That's the goal and we'll start on that pretty quickly."

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Jrue Holiday said Wednesday that Internet reports of his being traded for a first-round selection in Thursday's draft is news to him.
The Pelicans don't have a pick in this year's draft. They traded their first-round choice last year, Kentucky center/power forward Nerlens Noel, to the Philadelphia 76ers along with this year's to obtain Holiday, a good defender who fits coach Monty Williams' system well.
Reached in his hometown of Los Angeles, Holiday said he didn't put much stock in the reports.
"I'm pretty confident I'll be a Pelican next season to be strong, to facilitate the team and hopefully to make the playoffs," he said.
Holiday's right tibia was fractured after just 35 games last season, and he missed the final 47. He returned to Los Angeles during the season, where he continued his rehabilitation. Now, he's preparing for next season.
"I've been lifting weights," he said. "I started running three weeks ago. I haven't started basketball-related activities. I've been stretching and making sure my ligaments down to my knee are intact, so that when I start moving on the court, there won't be any complications."
The Pelicans are looking for help at center and small forward. Reports continue to say the Pelicans are "aggressively" seeking to get into the draft, which is deep in small forwards. The Los Angeles Lakers, with the seventh pick, and Sacramento Kings at No. 8 are among teams looking for a point guard, particularly a good veteran.
Coach Monty Williams said Monday that General Manager Dell Demps is listening to offers concerning obtaining a pick. Two players whose names had been mentioned for possible trades are Eric Gordon and Tyreke Evans, both of whom are shooting guards. However, their names were mentioned in Internet reports concerning trades last season. Holiday's name surfaced Wednesday.
His injury was one of three key ones that impacted the season. The Pelicans (34-48) were expected to compete for a playoff spot. Forward Ryan Anderson had surgery to repair two bulging disks in his neck, and center Jason Smith's had surgery on his right knee due to cartilage damage. On a team with a remade roster, the three key injuries hit during a three-week period in January.
"I think we were playing well," Holiday said. "Everybody was feeling out each other really well and coming into their own. It's unfortunate that three guys had surgery, but the playoffs are still definitely a goal, especially with the core and the talent that we have."

Camera Collections: herbert-4's Time-Honored Treasures26 58 Share Tweet
Herbert joined the community only in 2009, but he has been an analogue photography enthusiast perhaps longer than anyone else in the community. His collection is a treasure trove of cameras, lenses, and accessories. Read on to find out about one of the most respected members and camera collectors in the Lomography community, herbert-4, or simply Herbert.
LomoHome: *herbert-4*
Please tell us about yourself, what you do, and what you are passionate about.
I'm a 64 year-old bachelor, living in a studio flat in an old garden court in Tujunga, California. I've just retired after a 45 year career as a hospital nurse. All my life, I've made a bit of a hobby of photography, but I haven't had access to a darkroom since I was in the US Navy. I'm a Viet Nam Veteran. The 1st photo I remember (vividly, for some reason) taking was in Summer 1957 at my Grandmother's beauty shop in Hollywood, of her and a few of her friends with a huge box camera, "Corona Camara #115" with her shouting something like, "Hold it on your belly! Don't shake! Look in the window and don't chop off heads and feet! Now, push the little switch!!" The picture came out good, but it was lost to time. I was 7. The "camara" disappeared about 1958, after she died, and that might have been her last picture. I wish I had the picture.
How long have you been collecting film gear and how did it start?
When I was 13 (1963), I bought my 1st camera for $25, a Rolleiflex 3.5f at a garage sale. I had $20 Christmas, Birthday, and savings money, and my Dad kicked in $5, whispering to me that the seller had no idea what that thing was worth. I've been lucky at garage sales, 2nd hand stores, charity shops, estate sales, auctions, and swap meets ever since. I've been collecting for about 50 years. All of you can be lucky at this. Just be diligent, patient and alert. And always have about $100 in your pocket/purse.
Can you possibly itemize every camera, film roll, and accessory you own?
Rolleiflex 3.5f, close up set and filters, Beseler Topcon Super D with 58mm f/1.4, Topcon RE Super with 58mm f/1.8, 50mm f/1.4, 35mm f/2.8, 100mm f/3.5, 135mm f/3.5, 200mm f/5.6, 80-205mm f/4.5 zoom, 50mm f/3.5 macro uncoated fused quartz lens with #403 filter, several extension tubes, focusing screens, angle finder hot shoe, Minolta SR505 with 50mm F/1.4, 19mm f/3.8, 90mm f/2.4 macro, more filters, Vivitar SL/220 (M42) with 50mm f/1.8, 16mm f/2.8, 20mm f/3.5, 28mm f/2.8, 135mm f/2.8, 200mm f/4 macro, 300mm f/5.5, more filters and extension tubes, Miranda F and Miranda G, each with 50mm F1.8, and a 135 f/3.5, waist level viewfinder, flash bracket, extension tubes, more filters, Zenit KM Plus with Zenitar f/2, 16mm f/2.8, more filters and close up sets, FED 5, FED 5V, LOMO LC-a, FED 3 Type1a (rare), a green FED 2, a blue FED 2, a Fedka from 1950, Zorki 4, Kiev 2a with Jupiter 3 f/1.5 (rare), LOMO Electra 112, Kiev 4am with Helios F/1.8, Chaika 2, Iskra folder, Zeiss Tenax I, Yashica Electro 35 GSM, Yashica MG-1, Sawyer Mark IV (127), Fuji GW 690III, Fuji GS645 Pro, old Kodak box camera, Kodak Jiffy 620 folder, 4 flashes, small to large, a lot of special effects filters. Assorted B&W and color films, 4 rolls 800 ISO tungsten for UV photos, plus some Lomochrome Purple, and the last 6 rolls of Aerochrome III in the world in the freezer, 2 tripods, Gorillapod, a couple movie lights.
There are digitals, Ricoh Caplio G500 wide, Ricoh G700, Sigma SD1 Merrill, assorted lenses, more filters, another flash, 3 light meters, including a Luna Pro, and shopping bag full of plastic cameras, from serious to toy, assorted camera bags and tote bags, shopping bags, a few Lomobags.
Have you used every camera in your collection or do you just adore some of them from the camera shelf?
I am working through all the cameras that work and I can get film for at a reasonable price. I need some 127 and some 620 (Please, LSI). All but Jiffy and Kodak box work, and these 2, maybe.
Will you ever part with your collection?
I won't sell the Rolleiflex 3.5f, the Topcon stuff, the Minolta stuff, Zeiss Tenax I, Kiev 2a, or Izkra, these are sort of heirlooms. The rest will be negotiable when I'm done with them, I think. I've got a lot of shooting to do 1st.
Do you think you'll ever stop collecting? Why or why not?
If I see something I really covet, I might buy it, if I can reasonably afford it.
Is there a camera you still don't own and want to be part of your collection soon? What is this and why?
I'd like to find a Leica M3 with a Summilux 50mm f/1.4, too expensive, though, but we'll see what fortune brings. I got the Rolleiflex 3.5f for $25 at a garage sale when it was almost new. I lost a Rollei 35 and a Canon VT with a Zunow 50mm f/1.1 (the legendary lens) long ago by loaning them to someone, who moved away without returning them. The loanee said he'd return them when he moved back 4 years ago, but he died. His widow said she'd located them, but is slow to dig them out. I see what happens. I'm patient.
Fast Camera Collection Facts
Number of cameras? >3 dozen
Number of accessories? Too numerous to count.
Number of films? >3 dozen presently in refrigerator.
Number of months/years collecting? >50 years
Biggest buy/most expensive items? The UKA 50mm macro fused quartz uncoated lens with a UVA 320-380nm passing filter, ~$600, wanted it too badly, but I find I can at least double my money on eBay!
Sweetest steal/cheapest scored items? Rolleiflex 3.5f for $25!! The whole box of Topcon cameras, lenses, other gear, and assorted stuff for $300.
Most prized possessions/favorite camera, film, and accessory from the collection?
Rolleiflex 3.5f, Aerochrome III (will have use it up in ~3 more years), Gossen Luna Pro light meter
Favorite photo taken with your favorite gear?
The surviving Viet Nam photos, I think. I naively mailed the camera stuff and about 200 photos home from overseas in the same box, and the cameras made it and the photos didn't. Paranoid thought, CIA, maybe??
Any last words? I just want to thank the Lomography community. I've gained Lomo Friends all about the world. You provide me with a much improved hobby and a better social networking site. I find things like Facebook, Twitter, and the like rather horrible. This is better. Thank you.

The unique CanonMP-E 65mm f/2.8 Macro lens is exclusively for use in the macro realm, this lens can fill a 35mm frame with an object as minuscule as a grain of rice! Floating internal lens elements keep the resolution sharp throughout the range of focus. The lens also has an element of ultra-low dispersion glass. For macro shooters with a desire to document the diminutive, this lens is a quantum in ease-of-use compared to previous solutions involving bellows. The depth of field with this lens is razor thin, so the use of a focusing rack is highly recommended!

|2012 Vw Jetta Owners Manual
The 2012 Jetta isn't your father's Jetta. Cheaper and sporting less posh, this is a sedan directed at the masses here in the continuing states, a fact for which VW makes no apologies. The German automaker is counting on attracting an entire new marketing segment having its roomier, value-conscious sedan, but if there needs to be a true European-style 4-door in the driveway, a significant look during the resurgent Jetta GLI is in order.
The 2012 Volkswagen Jetta begs the relevant question: Is the U.S. willing to embrace yet another ho-hum family automobile? This isn't to state that VW's 5-passenger midsize sedan isn't a good car; not even close to it. After a hefty redesign in 2011, this next-gen 4-door is leaner, longer and, above all, less expensive than before. An available turbodiesel powerplant, expansive 15-cubic-foot trunk, spacious cabin with added standard comfort and convenience goodies and decent, if not heart-pounding handling and ride characteristics are no doubt appealing, since is the traditional VW quality. Nearly all reviewers claim, however, that today's Jetta is a mere shadow of its former Golf-inspired self, and purists are on the verge of revolt. Cabin materials are cheaper, design remains tepid, as you would expect, and the beds base engine that is 2.0-liter just enough capacity to get this smallish sedan out of its means – scarcely.
Be that as it can, however, the Jetta does regain the distinction of again hosting the GTI-inspired GLI trim for 2012. This sporty uber-sedan keeps all the good stuff that distinguished this midsize sedan in its formative years and may help dispel the growing dismay at the perceived diminution of a once proud name after a two-year sleep. Alas, the bland styling endemic to all of those other current-generation Jetta lineup does splatter its nondescript self over the GLI also, leading some to question exactly how effective this flagship trim is going to be in getting customers in the U.S. to embrace the others of the lineup. Nonetheless, touting a MSRP that is base of $15,500, VW hopes the Jetta will eventually be truly a wagen for the U.S. volk.
The 2012 Jetta is now delivered in five basic trims, the lower-level S, lower midlevel SE, high-end SEL, torque-laden, economical turbodiesel TDI and the turbocharged GLI in any case, with the addition of the GLI. Additionally, greater trims are subdivided into various option segments that include a package that is convenience sunroof for the SE, a Premium package such as the sunroof and/or navigation system in the TDI, and again the sunroof for the high-end GLI Autobahn. Of course the gasoline-burning SE, SEL and GLI trims stay available as Partial Zero Emissions Vehicles (PZEV) in featuring engines that are slightly tweaked to meet up strict Ca emissions standards and can burn gasoline that is low-sulfur. All trims are, as is traditional, front-wheel drive (FWD), with no all-wheel or four-wheel drivetrains available.
