Bob Lutz has always claimed the bean counters ruined GM, and he has written a new book, Car Guys vs. the Bean Counters, to back this up. I haven't read it yet; maybe you have.
Now, the company's former head of product development has returned as a paid special advisor (salary not revealed) and, as before, he'll advise on "anything and everything," said GM spokesman Jay Cooney.
According to Lutz, this new arrangement now has the Feds' blessing and doesn't diminish present management, which he thinks is doing a very good job. "It's just making my broad experience and, arguably, my skills in leadership and general automobile business available to the company."
"Arguably" is what Lutz is all about, including an outsized ego and an outstanding and contentious career in the auto industry. There is no question, however, that his passion and insight have helped immeasurably in GM's revival.
An interview he gave in August gives real insight into the Lutzian worldview.
When asked about what took down Detroit, he maintains that, among other things like the horrific corporate culture and the UAW, one factor was the introduction of CAFE standards in the 1970s.
The Japanese back then were specialist purveyors of four-cylinder small cars. The US industry was geared to body-on-frame, rear-wheel-drive behemoths with V8 engines and the American public loved them. When Congress passed the CAFE legislation, the Japanese rubbed their hands with glee because they were already on the good side of average. In fact, they were able to introduce bigger vehicles and trucks and move into the space that we [Detroit automakers] were being forced to vacate!
It was the kind of engineering transformation—"from RWD to FWD, longitudinal transmission to transverse, V8 engines to V6 engines and so on"—that U.S. automakers couldn't achieve in the short timeframe required. Plus, the exchange rate for the yen gave the Japanese a "$4,000-per-unit cost advantage."
Along lines we have proposed here, Lutz is a strong proponent of an immediate and hefty rise in the gasoline tax. Even though this is politically impossible now, it is the right way to influence driver behavior. "If you insist on having the US motor fuel price at one third what people in Europe pay, then the American public will buy large cars."
What do they want when they buy a car? "Value," says Lutz. "They have to have the feeling of 'this is amazing, I am getting this beautiful car for only this much money.'"
I don't see how you can argue with that. GM is lucky to have this guy, with all his bluster.
Have you read Lutz's new book? If so, what did you think?

RH victory in Philippine Congress, a historic leap forward for women
Akbayan Party-list joins the Filipino people in celebrating our historic victory in the passage of the Reproductive Health bill in the second reading of the House of Representatives.
Through Representatives Walden Bello and Kaka Bag-ao, Akbayan reiterated the voice of the people when it voted for life, choice, and reproductive health rights. We join the people in enjoying the fruit of more than a decade of struggle—a long and arduous journey towards the enactment of a law that will uphold and safeguard their right to a better future. Finally, after years of perseverance, the people have emerged triumphant.
This would not have been possible if not for the countless Filipino women who courageously took responsibility to lead this difficult task. Now, we have a key policy tool that does not only provide the people with the widest array of options to plan and manage their families but also, and more importantly, aids in restoring the dignity of women and in improving the quality of their health. Truly, the RH Bill's victory in Congress is a significant leap forward for the Filipino woman.
Likewise, we laud the 113 members of the House of Representatives who voted for the passage of the RH Bill. We laud their decision to cross party lines and unite under the banner of reproductive health rights to heed the people's popular clamor. We hope that they will display the same fervor in the passage of other equally important pieces of legislation such as the Freedom of Information (FoI) Bill, the amendments to the Cybercrime Prevention Law, and the Security of Tenure Bill, among others.
We urge the Senate to show the same determination in passing the RH Bill. More than a decade of waiting is enough. The Senate must not prevent the inevitable. We hope our senators will not make our people wait a day longer.
We also call on the Catholic church hierarchy to join the people in treading a new path to ensure a better and sustainable future. Contrary to the church's belief that the RH bill's passage was railroaded by a few, the approval of the bill was powered by the Filipino people. The people have already spoken. The church must recognize and respect this.
Lastly, we commend President Benigno Simeon Aquino III for putting the weight of his opinion in favor of the RH Bill. We look forward to seeing President Aquino investing the same amount of political capital and courage in the realization of the people's other important reform measures. If there is strong political will, the momentum of reforms will not only be sustained but also broadened.
Akbayan lawmakers vote for life, choice and reproductive health rights
Akbayan Rep. Walden Bello
This bill will go down as one of the most progressive pieces of legislation enacted by the House of Representatives. Indeed, it is the most significant piece of legislation passed in the last 30 years.
Let me just say that once it becomes law, the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Bill will immeasurably advance the rights and welfare of women. It will be an important instrument with which families and the country will wage the struggle against poverty and inequality. It will assist immeasurably in bringing about that sustained and comprehensive development that has so far eluded our country.
This bill is about promoting free and informed choice. It is about advancing reason and dispelling ignorance. It is a bill that respects the responsibilities of the state towards its citizens. It is a bill that respects the relationship between the Church and the State. It is a bill that is a model of how legislation should be crafted--that is, a process that transpires with great sensitivity to the opinions of different constituencies with a plurality of opinions.
Akbayan is proud to be one of the principal sponsors of this historic bill. I would also like to commend the Speaker, the Majority Leader, and the House leadership for their role in pushing this bill while respecting fair play and ensuring a just process. And, of course, I compliment the president for the courage he displayed in pushing the national debate on this bill to its conclusion. I would likewise wish to personally thank Rep. Edcel Lagman for his epic leadership in the 14-year struggle for this law.
All of us here today, members of the House and all the citizens present in this hall today, will look back to the passage of this measure with pride and immense satisfaction. ###
Akbayan Rep. Kaka Bag-ao
Mr. Speaker, the passage of this bill is now inevitable. It is inevitable not because our arms are being twisted by Malacanang to have the bill enacted, or because it is being railroaded by the majority.
It is inevitable, not because we chose to discard our conscience, but precisely because we cannot forever ignore that overwhelming weight that our own conscience has to bear because of a status quo where lives are lost due to preventable conditions and pregnancy-related complications. It is not just a question of religion or of faith, but of integrity. Hindi ko kailanman kayang harapin ang sarili kong konsyensya at tawagin ang sarili kong pro-life habang hinahayaan kong mamatay ang daan-daang kababaihan dahil sa kawalan ng RH programs.
It is inevitable, and this inevitability is not reflection of the weakness of Congress, but rather of its strength. Our vote today speaks of the prayers of many Filipinos, and in the fierce and oftentimes sanctimonious debate on this bill, we have repeatedly allowed the divisive sectarianism of the few to create a wall between Congress and the people. Yan ang tunay na kahinaan, Mister Speaker – kapag hinahayaan natin ang boses ng iilan na hindi man alam kung ano ang pinagdadaanan ng mga kababaihang nanganganak na mangibabaw kesa sa mga boses ng mga Nanay na naghihirap.
We are weak if we allow the wealthy few to decide the fate of families who are impoverished by the lack of choice, because they have no option but to live in ignorance. We are weak if we privilege the authority of the Church leadership and not the voice of the people, if we solely listen to the position of the bishops, and not the prayers of Filipinos who lost their loved ones precisely because we don't have an RH program.
Today, with this vote, we are strengthening our democracy because we are listening to our people. I am proud to be lending my voice to the majority, one of whom is Lola Apolonia. 85 years old na sya, taga-Dinagat, may 15 kapatid at ginugol nya ang kanyang buhay para alagaan ang kanyang mga kapatid. Ni hindi sya nakapag-aral. I vote yes, and I vote yes along with Lola Apolonia, along with millions of Filipinos who are have long casted their votes to finally make this bill a law.

Healthy Chocolate Soft Serve
If you're on Pinterest, follow health blogs, or read health magazines, you've surely heard about coconut cream vegan ice cream, cashew cream ice cream, and banana soft serve. Well personally, I'm not a huge fan of cashew cream. (I can never get ot smooth enough!) Coconut cream isn't something in my pantry. Factory-canned food scares me a bit too much.
But bananas? Fresh, healthy, and loaded with vitamins and fiber, these super foods make the best three ingredient chocolate ice cream ever. Smooth and creamy and chocolatey and addictive, this recipe only takes about 5 minutes (plus freezing time) to make. Now, theres no excuse to buy store bought ice cream because:
1) This is made faster than going to the store.
2) Banana soft serve is a million times healthier than store-bought
3) No, this does NOT taste healthy
Chocolate Banana Soft Serve
Makes 1 huge serving
2 ripe medium bananas, cut up, then frozen
2-3 Tbsp. Unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup milk
Remove bananas from freezer and break up any chunks frozen together. Blend with the milk and cocoa powder until smooth. Eat immediately, or freeze until harder for a less soft-serve-y experience.~~{~@ Danielle

Cocktail of the Week
Mai Tai
Victor Bergeron, best known as Trader Vic, in 1944, created this classic cocktail. (It must be noted that Don the Beachcomber claims to have invented the same drink 11 years earlier in Hollywood.) The Second World War was in full swing in both Europe and the Pacific and Bergeron was keen to create a mood-lifting cocktail made with the best possible ingredients. He first presented the drink to two friends visiting from Tahiti. His guests replied, Mai Tai, which in Tahitian means out of this world. Since then this drink has suffered some very poor imitators. Some of the worst offenders were sold by Bergeron himself as bottled, mass-produced, cocktail mixers. However, the original is a damn fine cocktail and when made with high quality rum and orgeat syrup it never fails to impress. (Orgeat syrup can be found with a simple web search and may even be sold in your local café as it is a popular addition to modern coffee drinksClassic!
1 oz. Aged Rum (5 to 12 years)
1 oz. White Rum (top quality)
1 oz. Fresh squeezed limejuice
1/2 oz. Orange curacao
1/2 oz. Orgeat syrup
You can enjoy a Mai Tai anytime of year, especially if you're in a tropical environment. Rum is typically seen as a summer spirit but the rich flavors of the dark, aged Rum give this drink a warming quality as well.
Place all of the ingredients, along with cracked ice, into a cocktail shaker. Give it a vigorous shake and pour over ice into a double old fashioned, Collins glass, or a festive Tiki inspired glass. Garnish with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint. Try not to add one of those little paper umbrellas.
There are thousands of variations of the Mai Tai but it must be Rum based and it has to have orgeat syrup. You can skip the two Rum additions by using just a single, quality aged Rum.

Last Day of Kids Camp
Yesterday we celebrated the last day of kid's camp with jumping castles, obstacle courses and hot dogs! Our kids could hardly contain their excitement, and we literally had to pull them off of the bounce houses to move to the next activity. All of our stations were action packed, from soccer (football) to volleyball to kickball, and by the end of the day our kids were worn out! For lunch, we were so blessed to have Parmalat and Zambeef donate hot dogs and juice boxes for our kids. We took this time sharing one last meal, talking to our kids about accepting Christ as their Savior and passing out beautiful cross necklaces that the Shaw family brought. It has been inspiring to see these kids learn about having Jesus in their hearts and trusting Him for provision even in their tough situations. The joy in the faces of our kids was contagious!
After we said our goodbyes to the children, the Americans and Zambian counselors took time praying for each other and reflecting on an amazing camp experience. We would not have been successful without the help of the Arise Africa staff as well as the Zambian counselors, who spent countless hours helping the Americans translate to our kids as well as bridging the cultural gaps with ease. Although we were sad for kid's camp to end, it is encouraging to know that our Zambian staff will continue to love on these kids and help them grow in their relationships with God.
After a few hours of rest, we headed over to the Showell's house for a celebration braai (cookout) with the American team, Zambian staff and their families. The Showell's have been amazing to us during our time here, and we are so thankful for their hospitality. Alissa decided to bring a little kid's camp with us to dinner, so we blew up a bounce house right there in the Showell's backyard! It was a huge hit with the staff kids, and also a few Americans! Brenda, a member of our Zambian staff, jumped on the bounce house for the first time in her life! We also had the pleasure of watching the Zambian Vocal Chorus perform for us before dinner! Our Zambians know how to sing and dance beautifully, but that does not mean the Americans don't try!
After dinner, the American team headed back to Baptist Mission for one final round of a Nertz card game. We drew teams out of a hat, yet somehow the power team (Alissa and Charlotte) still ended up on a team, hmm? In a final game of "winner takes all" Joseph and I pulled in from behind and won it all, at least according to us!
We were sad to say goodbye to Holstein last night, who headed to South Africa early this morning. We pray for her safe travel and time spent loving on orphans in South, she was an amazing asset to our American team! Half of the team headed to Victoria Falls early and the rest of us will be heading home late tonight. Our time in Zambia has been such a blessing, and we feel that God is doing amazing things in this country and with these young children. We pray that hearts may continue to be opened to the Lord, and that Arise Africa will continue growing and making a difference in Lusaka. We want to thank all of you again for the constant support and prayers!
In His name,

Desireless Attention
Self is subjective. Subjectivity can't be made objective. You can't know your own self. The reason the knower can't be known is that to know something means to reduce it to an object. So there's a clear distinction between the subjective world and the objective world. The mind is involved with knowledge, and the very existence of knowledge depends on duality.
I can't be you because you are in front of me; you are an object for me. Also, I am an object for you. Can I put myself in front of me? Who is "me"? The object in front of me, or the inner one who is looking at "me"? There is no "me." The mind is "I," and "I" can't exist. What exists is spaceless awareness. You can't desire to see yourself. If you desire, you are in the mind, back in the illusion of "I." To be who you really are, you can only be in desireless attention. Unless you are completely desireless, you can't be the real you.
Being free from desires brings you into a most peaceful state in which you find yourself filled with joy and bliss, the result of a naturally established awareness in the here and now. Unfortunately, desires drive our senses into a state of confusion, so that we are constantly looking outward in an attempt to derive superficial pleasure from sense objects.
For example, when your eyesight is focused on a specific object, decide to keep your eyes focused on the space between you and the object. Your mind will wander, moving to another object. Again look at the space. There's always a space between you, as an observer, and the object you are observing.
When you master the practice of witnessing the space between yourself and external objects, move on to witnessing the internal—the space between yourself and thought-forms. Whereas external objects could be a chair, a leaf, a cloud, or people, the internal forms can be thoughts, emotions, bodily sensations, or sensual experiences.
Thought forms and external objects are always in relationship, and your consciousness is trapped and lost in between. Placing and keeping attention on the space, and only on the space, you break the bond between the subjective forms and the objective objects, which frees your trapped consciousness.
The more you are attentive to the space, the internal thought-forms and external object-forms will melt into formlessness, evaporating in the presence of consciousness. The internal space between two thoughts and the external space between two objects will meet in your spaceless consciousness. Try this in all kinds of circumstances.

This week I'll take you through the wedding day of Chris and Elise. tomorrow we will start with the Getting Ready and Pre Ceremony shots that started at Elise's parent's home in Crown Point, Indiana and then made their way to the ceremony and formals at Chapel of the Resurrection at Valparaiso University.
The above shot is one of my favorites taken on the spiral staircase in the lobby of the church. Click on the image to see large.
Before we get into a detailed tour, take a look at the highlight video I created. It was a bright sunny day and this is a bright and sunny couple, so 1070's - esque pop music is the soundtrack.
Come back tomorrow for more images and behind the scenes comments on the Getting Ready portion.

My name is Angela Martinez. I am a 20-year-old daughter to two wonderful parents from Nogales, Sonora and Nogales, Arizona, where I was born. I love music, dogs, food, and anything that can make me laugh. I currently live in Tucson with my twin sister and 10-month-old chihuahua mix, Bruno. I am a student at the University of Arizona majoring in journalism and minoring in both Spanish and marketing. I always say to myself and my family that if I wasn't studying journalism, I would probably be cooking up a storm in culinary school.
I had no idea I would ever want to pursue a career in journalism. I started college as a business major thinking I would end up working for a big company in marketing. After quickly realizing that business was not the best fit for me, I decided to give journalism a try; now, I am beginning my third year as a journalism major. In the past two years, I have had the opportunity to report for the Daily Wildcat, where I focused on covering diversity on campus as well as other general news assignments. This experience has taught me what it is to see the world through a journalistic perspective and has enabled me to call myself a journalist. My perspective on life and various situations has widened, and I now often consider the fact that there are stories in people's everyday lives, in the things sometimes overlooked or not questioned. I am passionate about journalism because it has the ablity to impact a viewer or reader by offering a different angle and outlook they may have not considered or thought of before.
My interest in food and cooking came from eating the food my Nana made for me growing up. At a very early age I began to question how it was possible for someone to make something that tastes so divine. I then started cooking in an attempt to replicate my Nana's beloved food. The first meal I cooked, at age seven, was a plate of scrambled eggs. There were egg shells in the pan, and at the end of the week the leftovers were still in the fridge. Now that I have transitioned to a vegetarian diet, I still love to cook and imitate Gordon Ramsey's techniques to improve my skills in the kitchen. You can often find me recreating non-vegetarian dishes into ones I can eat and share with others. Most recently, my mom and I recreated sopa de tortilla into a vegan version. I'm most inspired by how much room for creativity there is in vegan and vegetarian cuisine. I love to spend my free time tasting that creativity at Tucson's vegetarian establishments like the Tasteful Kitchen, Cashew Cow, and Lovin' Spoonfuls.
During my time interning for Edible Baja Arizona, I am excited to step away from my comfort zone in journalism to broaden my experience by writing about all things food. I feel ready to hit the ground running and start working on stories where I can explore and learn different things about food and share what I learn with others.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) recently released a statement announcing they are withdrawing the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on web information and services for state and local governments. In its place, the DOJ has issued a Supplemental Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SANPRM) published in the Federal Register, intending to solicit comments from the public on various issues to assist the DOJ in shaping and furthering its rulemaking efforts. The DOJ expressed they are aware of the current need for web accessibility rules in the public sector and claim the comment period will be critical to attaining the ADA's mandate.
- On July 9, 2014, the NPRM had been submitted for review to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
- On April 28, 2016, the DOJ withdrew its NPRM titled, "Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability; Accessibility of Web Information and Services of State and Local Government Entities" (RIN 1190-AA65)
- DOJ issued a SANPRM, titled, "Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Disability; Accessibility of Web Information and Services of State and Local Government Entities"
- SANPRM was published in the Federal Register on May 9, 2016, and open for comment until August 8, 2016
- The goal of the SANPRM is to seek additional information through public comments to assist the DOJ further and form rulemaking efforts
- The DOJ wishes to gain critical information concerning specific topics, including feedback on how to measure web accessibility benefits and benefits to individuals with specific types of disabilities
- The DOJ also seeks to collect further information regarding the current state of accessibility of public entity websites and the experience of disabled individuals using public entity websites
Why The Change?
The DOJ has explained that since the original Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM), the landscape has changed drastically. The Internet and assistive devices, used by individuals with disabilities to navigate the Internet, have evolved and become inexpensive. The expectation is that comments submitted on the current SANPRM will be more focused and relevant than comments received during the 2010 ANPRM. Additionally, the DOJ intends to use submitted comments and information collected during this comment period to conduct research and studies to understand the cost and benefits of web accessibility regulations.
The DOJ realizes the current need for regulations on web accessibility in the public sector, but further delaying rulemaking will only cause more confusion and uncertainty for companies and business that operate or provide goods and services on the Internet. The DOJ is trying to catch up with the speed and advancement of the digital world, but the truth is they will always be at least one step behind. Each and every day, the Internet is advancing and changing; the progress from 2010 to 2016 is significant. But, how many years will it take to establish regulations and how will the internet and web accessibility evolve by the time new rules are published? The longer the DOJ puts off publishing rules to establish web accessibility regulations, the more they are leaving public and government entities to figure it out on their own, consequently leaving them vulnerable to questionable lawsuits. The best advice for businesses and companies operating online is not to wait for the DOJ to publish regulations, but proactively make their website accessible by following current accessibility guidelines and constantly testing their website for accessibility errors using AuditGenie™.

Guest Post - Erik the Intern
I am Erik, the 2012 Spring intern at Department Zero! I wanted to check in on the blog and report to potential summer interns about what they can expect.
From day one, I was assigned real projects, attended client brainstorm meetings, and learned how to run the front desk. I've even gotten to go out and view campaigns, take down displays, drive client's display cars, and watch how the team formulates ideas for clients. Did I mention I have a killer downtown view of 20th Street? Or, that we are always playing music?
I came into the internship just hoping to learn new skills and maybe some new ways of thinking. Thus far, this experience has taught me much more than any previous internship. It has taught me how an experiential marketing firm operates; gaining new clients, task managing, brainstorming concepts, etc. I had never thought about how much detail goes into putting an experiential campaign together. Luckily, I am even creating one myself, as all interns make a mock marketing campaign, to present at the end of the internship.

I played my oboe the other day for the first time since last August. It felt good. A little painful, but mostly good. It was a great way to get through the impatience of waiting for feedback from beta readers on the latest version of Kwizera.
Another way I wait is to start a knitting or crocheting project. I used to crochet a lot. Afghans, mostly with granny squares. Beaded crocheted bracelets and necklaces. A sweater. Baby blankets. Last winter my husband and I crocheted scarves for Special Olympics. But mostly, since having kids, I keep my hands busy in the evenings by writing.
Every now and then, however, I need to do something other than write. Once Kwizera is out the door to agents, I can focus on the next book. In the meantime, I have to keep my hands and brain busy elsewhere.
The oboe and a handwork project are the perfect ways for me to keep busy in a creative way. I recently crocheted a pair of fingerless mittens with a butterfly pattern, and now I'm knitting a scarf (in between Kwizera revisions).
We writers are creative people. We must create something. And making music, dancing or making something with our hands not only keeps us busy, such endeavors can also help break through writer's block. Creative juices flow, my mind is occupied on something other than my problem, and before I know it, I have a solution.
If nothing else I'll have lots of warm accessories for next winter. For now, I guess the scarf can wait, since Spring has arrived. But the oboe is calling me.

Of the numerous motor yacht models Hatteras has presented, the 80 may just be the most successful. The 80 Hatteras has an attractive profile, genius space planning, both owner and crewfriendly, and a most capable sea boat.

LITIGATION RELEASE NO. 16680/ September 6, 2000
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION v. TORSTEN PROCHNOW D/B/A/ STOCKREPORTER.DE, DENNIS C. HASS AND WORLD OF INTERNET.COM AG C00-3199-MJJ (USDC N.D. Calif.)
The Securities and Exchange Commission announced today that it filed a federal court action in San Francisco against three residents of Germany, Torsten Prochnow ("Prochnow") d/b/a Stockreporter.de, Dennis C. Hass ("Hass") and World Of Internet.com AG ("WOI"). The Commission's complaint alleges that from at least June 1999 through the present, Prochnow and Hass, through WOI, a private German corporation they own, have touted the stocks of approximately 64 United States public companies under the name Stockreporter.de. The complaint further alleges that the touts have been disseminated through postings on Stockreporter.de's Internet website, which may be viewed in both the English and German languages, and numerous press releases. Moreover, the complaint alleges that during different time periods the website contained false statements that Stockreporter.de's principals both had "long-term" trading intentions and were not compensated for their touting, as well as baseless financial projections concerning one of the touted companies. According to the complaint, during various periods both the website and press releases failed to disclose both the nature and source of such compensation as well as the defendants' personal stock sales shortly after the touting, which caused the price and trading volume of the stock of certain companies to increase significantly in the short term. The complaint alleged that on at least 15 occasions, the defendants sold their holdings of the touted stocks into the inflated market they created, thereby realizing profits of $111,530. This action is part of the fourth nationwide Internet fraud sweep conducted by the Commission since October 1998.
The Commission's complaint alleges that Prochnow, Hass and WOI violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933. The Commission seeks disgorgement, a permanent injunction and civil penalties. Without admitting or denying the Commission's allegations, the defendants have consented to the entry of an order that would enjoin them from future violations of the foregoing provisions and disgorge $111,530 plus $6,414 in prejudgment interest and would require Prochnow and Hass each to pay a $50,000 civil penalty.

The Subway Survey
Apart from multiple choice questions, the Subway Survey also asks of its customers what they enjoyed about the visit and how to make the service even better. This ensures that the customer is given enough space in order to candidly communicate their complaints and concerns. At the end of the survey the responder is provided with a 'validation code' that they can redeem and enjoy a free delectable Subway cookie on their next visit. The best part of the Subway Survey is that it asks customers to spare only sixty seconds from their busy lives and is over before you know it. Hence, its efficacy increases because it is a time savvy way ofexpressing one's feelings regarding service at Subway. The presence of progress indicator in the form of numbers from 1 to 4 at the top of the web page throughout the survey also ensures that responders are aware of how much of the survey is left and will not leave it incomplete.

I've been slow to adopt the bomber trend. I got a floral one last year that never stuck with me, so I was slow to try again. But ever so often, I go insane and forget everything I know, so HERE WE ARE. Better yet, it's practically a trend salad: bomber meets velvet? How brave! How 90's! And thankfully...how cute.
Bomber, JustFab.
Tee, Banana Republic (similar from Asos).
Jeans, Old Navy (exact).
Flats, Gucci (similar from Steven at Shopbop).
Bag, Alexander Wang (similar from JCP!).
And now that I've decided the bomber is..ahem...BOMB, here are a few more I'm crushing on:
All from Shopbop! Don't forget - you can take up to 25% off with GOBIG16.

Domestic Violence - Assumptions and Treatment - Part II of II
Domestic Violence/Partner Abuse Treatment
Current Treatment and Assumptions
Whenever a battery/domestic abuse case in brought in front of a court, mandated treatment is usually part of the sentence in every jurisdiction of the United States (Dankwort & Austin, 1999). The most common model of treatment in state-sanctioned programs is called the Duluth model. It is a 12-52-week mandatory intervention following arrest that presumes battery to be a male offense influenced in large part by patriarchal values.

For most of the twentieth century, the community witnessed industrial degradation of the rich natural resources of the Indian River Valley, the core area of the Tsleil-Waututh Territory. "The valley had been heavily logged right from the river banks in one continuous clear-cut, with a series of eroded logging roads zigzagging up the steep hillside and landslides trailing downhill," says Doug Hopwood, a professional forester with Ecotrust Canada.
In the 1990s, the Tsleil-Waututh Nation began implementing an ambitious strategy to regain control of the heartland of their territory. They envisioned a holistic, integrated approach to resource management focusing on the health of the valley and all of its intrinsic values. Because of Ecotrust Canada's experience promoting conservation and local community control of natural resources, the Tsleil-Waututh recognized the organization as a valuable partner for achieving their strategy.
This strategy focuses on the restoration and healing of the land. For the past ten years, the Tsleil-Waututh Nation mapped their interests and vision for the territory, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). With planning expertise from Doug Aberley and additional GIS training from Ecotrust Canada, Tsleil-Waututh members created a bioregional atlas, another tool to help further the community's interests.
George-Wilson says that partnerships remain an integral part of their strategy. "We are currently striving to have the entire 20,000-hectare watershed managed in an integrated and holistic manner. Ecotrust Canada plays an important part in this plan. As Tsleil-Waututh people, it is our responsibility and obligation to be stewards of our land and water. Our community takes this obligation seriously. We know who we are; we are the Tsleil-Waututh, the 'People of the Inlet'."

Color plays such an important role in my work. As you all know (well some of you might at least), I adore black and white photography but have such a hard time creating anything without color. There is just so much that color can add to an image, so I find it nearly impossible to deny myself that extra layer to my editing process. Below you'll find five tips for achieving fantastic color in your images!
1. Don't Be Afraid of Selections
Some photographers go for more of a global route when color correcting, affecting the entire image all at once. This is totally called for and I definitely do it in EVERY single one of my edits, but in addition to global adjustments it can really punch your photos up a notch to select specific areas and adjust the colors accordingly. Sometimes I'll get very particular, like in this picture when I selected the dress and some of the smoke to change it to red hues. When it's called for, do not skimp on your selecting. Take the extra time to be sure you have a nice clean selection before making your changes, you'll be glad later when you don't have weird edges and areas colored that shouldn't be.
Not everything needs to have such a precise selection, though. Maybe you just want to make a general area a bit cooler or something - in that case one of my favorite tricks is to quickly make a loose selection of the desired area using the lasso tool and then enter the "Quick Mask Mode." (See image above please ... ) Click the button at the bottom of your tool palette and it'll make everything that's not selected turn red. Once in this mode you can actually apply a blur (I tend to go with a good old-fashioned gaussian blur) right to your selection to get a really soft super feathered edge. Now you can switch back out of Quick Mask by clicking the button again and make your adjustments on the adjustment layer of your choosing. You can only "feather" up to 250 pixels so I like to use this technique to get a very VERY soft edge selection. Try it - you'll see what I mean.
2. Color Is Not The Boss of You
Just because you don't have a red dress on hand doesn't mean you don't have a red dress on hand. (Wait what? Yes.) If you were envisioning an image of say, I don't know, a girl in a red dress turning into smoke for example, but you don't have a red dress, that's not an issue when you have Photoshop. (REJOICE!) It was really helpful that we did have a dress that was a peach-ish-pink color; it made it so that it wouldn't a big swing (that's fancy color correction talk for a color change) to alter the tone to a red. It was already kind of a red-ish tone to begin with. However, this dress could have been any color and you'd still be able to change it to green, purple, blue or whatever your little heart desires. (Whoa sorry, I mean I'm sure your heart is totally regular sized). One technique I like for a color swap like this is to use a hue saturation adjustment layer. It's stupid easy if you followed step one and already have yourself a polished selection of the dress (or whatever item it is you want to manipulate). You can just slide the top slider of the hue saturation window until you land on a color that you find pleasing, it's that simple.
3. Split Toning, Um ... It's Pretty Cool
Another one of my favorite techniques is "split toning." Like very many things in the mystical realm of photo manipulation, this method of color toning can be heavily overdone (sometimes people are going for that look and that's fine), but I like to use it in a much more subtle way. For those that don't know, split toning is from way back in the dinosaur days of dark rooms (I miss those days sometimes...). It's when you apply different colors to the shadows and highlights of a black and white image, but it can actually be done digitally to a color photo as well. Typically the color tones are opposite on the color wheel; my favorite direction to go with is yellow-ish highlights and blue shadows. One very easy way to do this is to pull up a "Levels Adjustment Layer," and at the top where there is a drop down menu that reads RGB, select "Blue." Then at the bottom you can move the sliders on either side inward a tiny bit (the farther you drag the slider in, the more colorized the shadows or highlights will be), and bing bam boom you've done it!! (Please see image above, SEE IT!) Like I said this can start to look really drastic, so use it sparingly.
4. Adjustment Layers and Blending Modes
Adjustment layers and blending modes are both .... well, they are just flippin awesome. Alone they are some of the most powerful tools in my retouching tool belt, but together they are a force to be reckoned with. I know many of you (hopefully) have tapped into the endless potential of these two Photoshop features in your edits, but have any of you tried combining the two? Allow me to elaborate. One of my go-to adjustment layers for color editing is the "Color Balance" adjustment layer. This is another great way to push a bit of split toning into the image. I like to put a bit of yellow and maybe a smidge of red into the highlights, and some blues and cyans into the shadows. (You can select shadows, midtones, or highlights from a dropdown menu at the top of the Color Balance palette.) This adjustment can also brighten your highlights while darkening your shadows; you are essentially adding more contrast with color.
Sometimes I want to affect the colors, but I'm already happy with the brightness and contrast of the overall image. This is where the blending modes come into play. I'll often tweak my color with an adjustment layer and then set that adjustment layer to "color" in the blending mode drop down at the top of your layers palette. This makes it so that the adjustment layer will not affect how dark or light the image is, and will only alter the color. Also, when I was making the dress red I wanted it to be a bit darker, so I set a "Color Balance" layer to a "Multiply" blending mode. The possibilities are endless.
5. Just Try It
Really the biggest trick to great color editing of an image is experimentation. Have fun with it! For the technique I spoke of in tip 4, just go nuts! Try all different combinations of adjustment layers and blending modes to see what things do. Don't be afraid to wind up with a bunch of stacked up layers before you're happy with the color; my edit for this image has.... 11 color adjustment layers, so yeah less isn't always more.
I often don't know exactly what I want an image's color and feel to be, so I just start sliding sliders around. I'm a big fan of opening up an adjustment layer like "selective color" (one of my very favorites!!), and taking a slider WAY too far in one direction and then the other to see which way I want the color to go. Then I bring it slowly back towards the middle until I like it. Maybe you have a solid plan of what sort of colors you want your final piece to end up with, but then you mess around with an adjustment layer and stumble upon something you like way better. So dive in and start throwing sliders every which way - you never know what you'll come up with!

Osawatomie: The Revolutionary Voice of Bill Ayers' Weather Underground Organization
It was 60 years ago, in June 1950, when America's war to defeat communism began in Korea. It was two decades later when self-described "communist" Americans — part of the Weather Underground Organization (WUO), actively worked to defeat capitalism to transform America into a socialist state. Two of those Americans, President Obama's family friends, were William Ayers and his wife Bernadine Dohrn. Some insights into their plans and ideology can be seen in Osawatomie, "the revolutionary voice of the WUO," a 35-page newspaper published by WUO in 1975-1976.
"The Weather Underground Organization is a revolutionary organization of communist women and men," states Osawatomie. WUO took its title from Bob Dylan's "Subterranean Homesick Blues." "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows." According to the FBI, when the Students for Democratic Society (SDA) collapsed in 1969, "the Weather Underground stepped forward, inspired by communist ideologies and embracing violence and crime as a way to protest the Vietnam War, racism, and other left-wing aims. "Our intention is to disrupt the empire … to incapacitate it, to put pressure on the cracks," claimed the group's 1974 manifesto, Prairie Fire. By the next year, the group had claimed credit for 25 bombings and would be involved in many more over the next several years." As Weatherman David Gilbert wrote: "There is no example of a peaceful road to fundamental social change."
According to Osawatomie summer edition, No. 2 published in 1975:
Osawatomie is guided by a commitment to struggle, a determination to fight the enemy [in FBI files the enemy is often referred to as Pig Amerika], the certainty that we will see revolution in our lifetime, an a spirit of love for the exploited people of the world. In order to build a successful struggle, the people need strong organization an a revolutionary party.
The program of the Weather Underground Organization is:
– US Imperialism out of the Third World.
– Peace. Oppose Imperialist war and US intervention
-Fight racism. Build-anti racist base within the working class.
-Support self-determination for oppressed peoples.
-Struggle against sexism and the freedom of women.
-Organize the working class. Fight for socialism. Power to the people.
In a single sentence, the program means this: Mobile the exploited and oppressed people to wage the class struggle against US Imperialism, the common enemy."
From Osawatomie's Toolbox Class Struggle section:
The revolutionary struggle of the working class will transform our society — destroy this outmoded and cruel capitalism and build the socialist society that can provide for human need and progress. Under capitalism, the rulers own the wealth and control production, the proletarians survive only by selling their labor. Their interests are fundamentally irreconcilable. Class struggle, at times hidden and then more open, assumes a variety of forms. There is an immediate response to conditions of oppression: a gut hatred of "the rich" or worker's refusal to be pushed into a blistering work pace… On a more organized level classes contend over the share and use of social wealth: workers strike for better wages working class woman demonstrate for child-care….
The "Toolbox" section ends with a quote from The Communist Manifesto:
Let the ruling classes tremble at communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have the world to win.
Incidentally, Bill Ayers, after Barack Obama was elected President of the United States, denied a quote attributed to him in 2001: "I don't regret setting bombs. I wish we'd set more bombs. I don't think we did enough." In a new forward to his re-released book Fugitive Days, Ayers wrote, "I never actually said that I 'set bombs,' nor that I wished there were 'more bombs.' "

Osteoarthritis of the knee is painful and disabling. It is even worse when both knees are involved. While total knee replacements are very effective at relieving pain from arthritis, the rehab and recovery can be longer and prohibitive for some individuals. Medial joint space arthritis gives a curved "bow-leg" appearance to the legs as the cartilage wears out on the inner side of the knee. Partial knee replacements fill the lost cartilage space with a mobile bearing plastic insert along with a metal "resurfacing" of the worn out bone.
