Tony Ray Jones was an English street photographer. In the early 60's he traveled to the U.S for studying for a Master of Fine Arts in graphic design at Yale. He moved to NY after graduating and got a job as an art director for CBS records but he was determined to become a photographer. In New York he became good friends with Joel Meyerowitz and became part of the NY street photographers scene led by Garry Winogrand.
Jones kept notebooks, a journal if you'd like in which he wrote down his thoughts, lists and plans about photography. In one of those lists, titled "Approach" he listed some tips for better street photographs. These tip are still valid today and can be used as a basic guidelines to better street photography.
There are many tip lists out there on the web, some repeat each other, some contradict each other, some have some good tips and some are simply wrong… I find this list to be simple, refined and a great way to start making good pictures.
I took the liberty to elaborate on some of those tips, I am not trying to analyze what Jones meant exactly but more giving my input on how I interpret these tips and how I put them into practice.
- Be more aggressive– just to be clear, this does not mean at any way that you should jump into situation that could become violent! In a way, this simple tip holds together some of the other tips. To me, being aggressive means to get closer, to become more involved and not to give up until I get my picture.
- Get more involved (Talk to people) – For me, Street Photography has to be candid so talking to my subject before taking a picture in most times is out of the question. But saying thanks afterwards will be simply being polite and might save you from altercations. Some times I find myself so close to the scene that I become a part of it, talking to people is inevitable, so talk to people earn their trust and start taking pictures when they stop focusing on you and on your camera, although I have no problem to have some interaction between the people I picture and the camera, as long as there is no posing for the camera.
- Stay with the subject matter (be patient) – I have discussed this point in my Working the scene post.
- Take simpler pictures– We all know that making complex compositions with many subjects will create an interesting picture but sometimes minimalism works better and will create a strong image.
- See if everything in background relates to subject matter– I find this tip to very important. In fact this tip is one of the points that might stand in the center of the long going debate on the definition of street photography which I try to avoid at any cost, but let's just say that a street photograph should show some interaction between the subjects or between the subject and its surroundings. A portrait with blur background is not street photography, it's just a portrait even if it was taken on the street. Another aspect of this tip is more relevant today then ever as in modern street photography we see more often the use of juxtaposition between a person and an element in the background, it cold be a sign or a monument or anything else for that matter. In order for such picture to work, there has to be a visible connection or some sort of interaction. There are too many pictures out there of a person with a poster or a sign in the background that the connection is not made. The background in street photography is another subject, it's part of the story just as the living, breathing subjects are and they have to work together.
- Vary compositions and angles more– Composition rules are a good starting point but rules are meant to be broken. Don't be afraid to experiment and try new and bold compositions, angles and framing, working outside of the box will generate interesting and unique pictures that will stand out.
- Be more aware of composition – although the last tips was talking about looking for new compositions and breaking the rules, the composition still has to be balanced. Avoid frames in which all the weight of the picture is on one side of the frame while the rest of the frame is empty and feels redundant.
- Don't take boring pictures– Probably the most important tip and not just for street photography. It takes even greater importance today in the digital world we live in, in which we are exposed to hundreds or thousands pictures everyday that we go through them so fast without paying enough attention. If you want to capture the attention of your viewers you need to make interesting pictures. As street photography is gaining interest by many avid photographers, it is also misunderstood by many of those avid new comers to the world of street photography. We are looking for the special moments in the mundane life, without those special moments, big or small it's just mundane and thus – boring…
- Get in closer (use 50mm lens or wider)– We all know the famous Robert Capa quotes about getting closer, they were good advice back when Capa said those things and they are still good advice today. Getting close allows us to be involved in the scene, to feel the scene and those feelings show in our pictures. If we want people to look at our photos and understand what we wanted to say and feel what we felt then you have to get close. Today, the streets are more crowded then they used to be, people are more aware of their privacy and they are more aware of cameras. Using a wide angle lens and getting close actually allow us to be less noticed, it creates uncertainty among our subjects as to who or what are we are photographing. You can't hide the camera anymore so it's size doesn't really matter. We now stay unnoticed and we are able to keep it candid by using this uncertainty that we create.
- Watch Camera shakes (shoot 250sec or above)– Well this one really depends on what you are looking to do, what kind of look or effect are you looking for. Usually we are looking to freeze time and capture that special moment so this tip is right on but sometimes we are looking for something else, sometimes effects like motion blur make the picture. Don't be afraid to experiment with long exposures but even then make sure that the static elements stay sharp enough. With today's equipment and image stabilizers it easy to avoid shakes at lower speeds than 1/250 of a second.
- Don't shoot too much – This one might contradict what I wrote in my Working the Scene post but it doesn't. When we find a scene that we can work then we should work it but when we roam the streets looking for the next frame, we have to be focused, we have to see, hear, smell and taste the street so we can predict the moment to come and be ready for it in order to capture it with good composition and angle. Don't waste your time on taking pictures that you know that they will not make the final cut, trust your intuition when to shoot and when to let it go, you'll automatically start to shoot less.
- Not all at eye level – shooting from the hip– it is a well known technique to street photographers. We use it when we feel that raising the camera to our eye might give us away and interrupt the candid moment or might get us in trouble and sometimes it's just a fast reflex to the scene in which we don't have time to raise the camera to the eye and capture a fast moment. Shooting from the hip is just a phrase of course and it's not limited to the hip… When we look at those images we also see that the unorthodox angles created by this technique produce interesting frames that feel stronger due to the angle the picture was shot at. So look for these different angles and master shooting from the hip. Another point that we must understand is that in some cases our eye level is higher than our subjects, so remember to bend your knees a little or even get down on your knees if needed to get the winning frame.
- No Middle distance – This one is pretty much the same as the Get in close tip. Middle distance will create flat pictures with boring perspective and remember that we want to avoid boring.
REMEMBER – these are just tips, they are just basic guidelines, nothing is curved in stone and you have to find what works best for you. But if you are interested in street photography and wish to start making street photos than these tips will help you to get started and put you on the right tracks.

I really like this photo, Paul.
It has one of the old chalets before it was developed into a house on it.

The cars shown in the photo are a Morris Minor and what looks like a Standard 8 or 10, both from the early or mid 1950s.

In my opinion the car is a Standard 8, the Standard 8 didn't have chrome over riders on the rear bumper like the Standard 10 did. I had both the Standard 10 and the 8. The Standard 10 registration was HDB 691 and the Standard 8 was LDB 40. That brought back some good memories.

Is the postcard dated? It was obviously taken when the shop was there as the canopy is clearly visible. How quiet it looks.
- Wednesday, 02 November, 2011
I notice that the postcard was produced in Brighouse, West Yorkshire (West Riding, as it would have been then). At least that's better than the 'China' I've seen on some recent cards.

Journey to the Center of the Earth
Journey to the Center of the Earth (French: Voyage au centre de la Terre, also translated under the titles A Journey to the Centre of the Earth and A Journey to the Interior of the Earth) is an 1864 science fiction novel by Jules Verne. The story involves German professor Otto Lidenbrock who believes there are volcanic tubes going toward the centre of the Earth. He, his nephew Axel, and their guide Hans descend into the Icelandic volcano Snæfellsjökull, encountering many adventures, including prehistoric animals and natural hazards, before eventually coming to the surface again in southern Italy, at the Stromboli volcano.

The genre of subterranean fiction already existed long before Verne. However, Journey considerably added to the genre's popularity and influenced later such writings. For example, Edgar Rice Burroughs explicitly acknowledged Verne's influence on his own Pellucidar series.
The story begins in May 1863, in the Lidenbrock house in Hamburg, Germany, with Professor Lidenbrock rushing home to peruse his latest purchase, an original runic manuscript of an Icelandic saga written by Snorri Sturluson (Snorre Tarleson in some versions of the story), "Heimskringla"; the chronicle of the Norwegian kings who ruled over Iceland. While looking through the book, Lidenbrock and his nephew Axel find a coded note written in runic script along with the name of a 16th-century Icelandic alchemist, Arne Saknussemm. (This was a first indication of Verne's love for cryptography. Coded, cryptic, or incomplete messages as a plot device would continue to appear in many of his works and in each case Verne would go a long way to explain not only the code used but also the mechanisms used to retrieve the original text.) Lidenbrock and Axel transliterate the runic characters into Latin letters, revealing a message written in a seemingly bizarre code. Lidenbrock attempts a decipherment, deducing the message to be a kind of transposition cipher; but his results are as meaningless as the original.
Professor Lidenbrock decides to lock everyone in the house and force himself and the others (Axel, and the maid, Martha) to go without food until he cracks the code. Axel discovers the answer when fanning himself with the deciphered text: Lidenbrock's decipherment was correct, and only needs to be read backwards to reveal sentences written in rough Latin.[a] Axel decides to keep the secret hidden from Professor Lidenbrock, afraid of what the Professor might do with the knowledge, but after two days without food he cannot stand the hunger and reveals the secret to his uncle. Lidenbrock translates the note, which is revealed to be a medieval note written by Saknussemm, who claims to have discovered a passage to the centre of the Earth via Snæfell in Iceland. In what Axel calls bad Latin, the deciphered message reads:
In Snefflls [sic] Iokulis kraterem kem delibat umbra Skartaris Iulii intra kalendas deskende, audas uiator, te [sic] terrestre kentrum attinges. Kod feki. Arne Saknussemm.
In slightly better Latin, with errors amended:
In Sneffels Jokulis craterem, quem delibat umbra Scartaris, Julii intra kalendas descende, audax viator, et terrestre centrum attinges; quod feci. Arne Saknussemm
which, when translated into English, reads:
Descend, bold traveller, into the crater of the jökull of Snæfell, which the shadow of Scartaris touches (lit: tastes) before the Kalends of July, and you will attain the centre of the earth. I did it. Arne Saknussemm
Professor Lidenbrock is a man of astonishing impatience, and departs for Iceland immediately, taking his reluctant nephew with him. Axel, who, in comparison, is anti-adventurous, repeatedly tries to reason with him, explaining his fears of descending into a volcano and putting forward various scientific theories as to why the journey is impossible, but Professor Lidenbrock repeatedly keeps himself blinded against Axel's point of view. After a rapid journey via Kiel and Copenhagen, they arrive in Reykjavík, where the two procure the services of Hans Bjelke (a Danish-speaking Icelander eiderdown hunter) as their guide, and travel overland to the base of the volcano.
In late June, they reach the volcano, which has three craters. According to Saknussemm's message, the passage to the center of the Earth is through the one crater that is touched by the shadow of a nearby mountain peak at noon. However, the text also states that this is only true during the last days of June. During the next few days, with July rapidly approaching, the weather is too cloudy for any shadows. Axel silently rejoices, hoping this will force his uncle – who has repeatedly tried to impart courage to him only to succeed in making him even more cowardly still – to give up the project and return home. Alas for Axel, however, on the second to last day, the sun comes out and the mountain peak shows the correct crater to take.
After descending into the crater, the three travellers set off into the bowels of the Earth, encountering many strange phenomena and great dangers, including a chamber filled with firedamp, and steep-sided wells around the "path". After taking a wrong turn, they run out of water and Axel almost dies, but Hans taps into a neighbouring subterranean river. Lidenbrock and Axel name the resulting stream the "Hansbach" in his honour and the three are saved. At another point, Axel becomes separated from the others and is lost several miles from them. Luckily, a strange acoustic phenomenon allows him to communicate with them from some miles away, and they are soon reunited.
After descending many miles, following the course of the Hansbach, they reach an unimaginably vast cavern. This underground world is lit by electrically charged gas at the ceiling, and is filled with a very deep subterranean ocean, surrounded by a rocky coastline covered in petrified trees and giant mushrooms. The travelers build a raft out of trees and set sail. The Professor names this sea the "Lidenbrock Sea" and the port as "Port Gräuben", after the name of his goddaughter. While on the water, they see several prehistoric creatures such as a giant Ichthyosaurus, which fights with a Plesiosaurus and wins. After the battle between the monsters, the party comes across an island with a huge geyser, which Lidenbrock names "Axel Island".
A lightning storm again threatens to destroy the raft and its passengers, but instead throws them onto the coastline. This part of the coast, Axel discovers, is alive with prehistoric plant and animal life forms, including giant insects and a herd of mastodons. On a beach covered with bones, Axel discovers an oversized human skull. Axel and Lidenbrock venture some way into the prehistoric forest, where Professor Lidenbrock points out, in a shaky voice, a prehistoric human, more than twelve feet in height, leaning against a tree and watching a herd of mastodons. Axel cannot be sure if he has really seen the man or not, and he and Professor Lidenbrock debate whether or not a proto-human civilization actually exists so far underground. The three wonder if the creature is a man-like ape, or an ape-like man. The sighting of the creature is considered the most alarming part of the story, and the explorers decide that it is better not to alert it to their presence as they fear it may be hostile.
The travellers continue to explore the coastline, and find a passageway marked by Saknussemm as the way ahead. However, it is blocked by what appears to be a recent cave-in and two of the three, Hans and the Professor, despair at being unable to hack their way through the granite wall. The adventurers plan to blast the rock with gun cotton and paddle out to sea to escape the blast. Upon executing the plan, however, they discover that behind the rockfall was a seemingly bottomless pit, not a passage to the center of the Earth. The travellers are swept away as the sea rushes into the large open gap in the ground. After spending hours being swept along at lightning speeds by the water, the raft ends up inside a large volcanic chimney filling with water and magma. Terrified, the three are rushed upwards, through stifling heat, and are ejected onto the surface from a side-vent of a stratovolcano. When they regain consciousness, they discover that they have been ejected from Stromboli, a volcanic island located in southern Italy. They return to Hamburg to great acclaim – Professor Lidenbrock is hailed as one of the great scientists of history, Axel marries his sweetheart Gräuben, and Hans eventually returns to his peaceful life in Iceland. The Professor has some regret that their journey was cut short.
At the very end of the book, Axel and Lidenbrock realize why their compass was behaving strangely after their journey on the raft. They realize that the needle was pointing the wrong way after being struck by an electric fireball which nearly destroyed the wooden raft.
The book was inspired by Charles Lyell's Geological Evidences of the Antiquity of Man of 1863 (and probably also influenced by Lyell's earlier ground-breaking work Principles of Geology, published 1830–33). By that time geologists had abandoned a literal biblical account of Earth's development and it was generally thought that the end of the last glacial period marked the first appearance of humanity, but Lyell drew on new findings to put the origin of human beings much further back in the deep geological past. Lyell's book also influenced Louis Figuier's 1867 second edition of La Terre avant le déluge ("The Earth before the flood") which included dramatic illustrations of savage men and women wearing animal skins and wielding stone axes, in place of the Garden of Eden shown in the 1863 edition.[1]
It is noteworthy that at the time of writing Verne had no hesitation with having sympathetic German protagonists with whom the reader could identify. Verne's attitude to Germans would drastically change in the aftermath of the 1871 Franco-Prussian War. After 1871, the sympathetic if eccentric Professor Otto Lidenbrock would be replaced in Verne's fiction by the utterly evil and demonic Professor Schultze of The Begum's Fortune.

Publication notesEdit
The first English edition was published in its entirety by Henry Vickers in 12 installments of a Boys magazine entitled "The Boys Journal". The plates are more numerous than the book form which was published with an 1872 title page. If it was released in 1871 as a single volume it was late in the year. This "True" first edition also found in an octavo normal book size (not Annual size), has been overlooked by bibliographers. It has a place of pre-eminence up to about a 3rd of the way through the 12 monthly issues and then slides down into the main body of the journal. The Magazine does not seem to have survived in its loose format of 12 individual parts.[2]
- The 1871 English language edition published by Griffith and Farran (named Journey to the Centre of the Earth[3] at Project Gutenberg) is an abridged and altered translation. It changes the Professor's name to Hardwigg, Axel's name to Harry (or Henry) Lawson, and Gräuben's name to Gretchen. It omits some chapters, while rewriting or adding portions to others. The redactor's note by Norm Wolcott, at Project Gutenberg, claims that this translation is the most popularly reprinted one, despite the flaws. The 1877 translation by Ward, Lock, & Co., Ltd., translated by Frederick Amadeus Malleson, is more faithful, though it too has some slight rewrites (according to the redactor at its Project Gutenberg page[4], where its title is translated as Journey to the Interior of the Earth).
- The 1877 translation by Ward Lock & Co Ltd., translated by Frederick Amadeus Malleson was adapted by AD Classic Books' 2008 edition of Journey to the Center of the Earth[5]. In this edit by A.R. Roumanis, antiquated writing and out of date sayings were replaced which makes this the most "modernized" version available.
- The novel frequently uses the device of the Professor explaining or arguing scientific matters with Axel, in order to communicate scientific facts on which the world-view is based. In the midst of their descent, this role reverses at one point, as Axel points out strata to the Professor as another example of the same story-telling method. Many things postulated in the novel are now known to be incorrect, including the temperature of space being minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and volcanoes erupting due to a reaction between water and chemicals in the Earth's crust.
- 1959: Journey to the Center of the Earth, USA, directed by Henry Levin, starring James Mason and Pat Boone. In the film, the beginning locale is transferred from Hamburg to Edinburgh, "Professor Otto Lidenbrock" becomes "Professor Oliver Lindenbrook", and the nephew Axel becomes student Alec McEwan and is more adventurous than cowardly as he is in the novel. The film introduces two new main characters: a female explorer (Arlene Dahl) and a main antagonist (Thayer David).
- 1978: Viaje al centro de la Tierra, Spain, directed by Juan Piquer Simón, starring Kenneth More and Pep Munné. It was distributed in the UK and the US as Where Time Began.
- 1989: Journey to the Center of the Earth took only the title and a general idea from the Verne novel, and had a unique plot aimed at a teen audience. It was written by Debra Ricci, Regina Davis, Kitty Chalmers, and Rusty Lemorande, and was directed by Lemorande and Albert Pyun. It stars Emo Philips, Paul Carafotes, Jaclyn Bernstein, Kathy Ireland, Janet Du Plessis, Nicola Cowper, Lochner De Kock, and Ilan Mitchell-Smith. It was based on an uncompleted version, more faithful to Verne's text, written and directed by Lemorande, that had been left unfinished because of Cannon Films' premature closure.
- 2008: Journey to the Center of the Earth is a 3-D film by Eric Brevig. Cast members include Brendan Fraser, Anita Briem and Josh Hutcherson. The film follows as a sequel to the original book.
- 2008: Journey to the Center of the Earth was a direct-to-DVD release by The Asylum, which is a loose adaptation of the original book. It was released as Journey to Middle Earth in the United Kingdom.
- 2008: Journey to the Center of the Earth was an American-Canadian made-for-television action adventure film, featuring Victoria Pratt and Rick Schroder.
- Walt Disney Pictures began work on a Journey in the late 1990s, but was not happy with the appearance of the caverns, so the project was scrapped. The cavern scenes were altered and used in the production of their 2001 film Atlantis: The Lost Empire.
- An animated television series, Journey to the Center of the Earth, first broadcast in 1967 on ABC, starring the voices of Ted Knight, Pat Harrington, Jr., and Jane Webb, only loosely based on Verne's novel.[6]

- In 1993, NBC aired a made-for-TV film version with a cast including John Neville, F. Murray Abraham and Kim Miyori. The film used the title and general premise of Verne's novel, but had its heroes carry out the journey in an earth-penetrating machine.[7] A television series was supposed to follow, but was never produced.[citation needed]
- The Wishbone 1996 episode "Hot Diggety Dawg" was based on the novel, featuring several major scenes starring the title character as Professor Lidenbrock.
- The 1999 Hallmark Entertainment miniseries starred Treat Williams, Jeremy London, Bryan Brown, Tushka Bergen, and Hugh Keays-Byrne (this version deviates considerably from Verne's original).
- A TV film version by RHI Entertainment starring Rick Schroder, Peter Fonda, Victoria Pratt, Steven Grayhm and Mike Dopud was shot on location in and around Vancouver on high definition video during the summer of 2007. The show aired on February 4, 2008 and been released on DVD. Pratt and Fonda's characters were added to the original story.

- In 2011, Audible released an unabridged "Signature Performance" reading of the book by Tim Curry.
- A concept album called Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Rick Wakeman was released in 1974. It combines song, narration and instrumental pieces to retell the story.
- Wakeman released a second concept album called Return to the Centre of the Earth in 1999. It tells the story of a later set of travelers attempting to repeat the original journey.
- Alien Voices, an audio theater group led by Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie, released a dramatized version of Journey to the Center of the Earth through Simon and Schuster Audio in 1997.
- Christopher Lloyd's character of Doctor Emmett Brown, one of the two main fictional characters of the Back to the Future film series, attributed the origins of his lifelong devotion to science to having read as a child the works of Jules Verne in general, and Journey to the Center of the Earth in particular. (This is evident when he reveals that he tried to dig to the center of the Earth at the age of twelve.) Back to the Future Part III, especially, pays homage to the book when Dr. Brown carves his initials in a mineshaft after storing the time machine, just like Arne Saknussemm did to help guide future explorers. At the end of the film, it is revealed that Dr. Brown's two sons are named Jules and Verne.
- Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote the Pellucidar series using the Journey to the Center of the Earth concept.
- The surname of Kathy Ireland's character in Alien from L.A. (1988), a film about a girl who falls through the earth and discovers a repressive subterranean society, is Saknussemm.
- The 1992 adventure/role-playing game Quest for Glory III by Sierra Entertainment used Arne Saknoosen the Aardvark as a bit character for exploration information, alluding to the explorer Arne Saknussemm.
- The DC Comics comic book series Warlord takes place in Skartaris, a land supposed to exist within a Hollow Earth. Its creator, Mike Grell, has confirmed that "the name comes from the mountain peak Scartaris that points the way to the passage to the earth's core in Journey to the Center of the Earth."[14]
- Louis MacNeice's final play Persons from Porlock contains a reference to Journey to the Center of the Earth at the beginning. Because his mother used to read it aloud to him, Hank became fascinated with "caves and pot-holes and things". At the end of the play Herr Professor Lidebrock is one of the characters Hank meets down the pot hole. Hank says to him, "Oh, my dear Professor, I've always wanted to meet you, since my mother used to read me your adventures. How you went down the volcano and ran into all those mastodons. But, of course, in your case you got out again." The Professor replies, "That was because I am a character in fiction... Jules Verne invented me".[15]
- Halldór Laxness, the only Icelandic author to be awarded the Nobel Prize, set his novel Under the Glacier in the area of Snæfellsjökull. The glacier has a mystic quality in the story and there are several references to A Journey to the Center of the Earth in connection with it.

Individuals interested in donating their body organs upon death can obtain an organ donor card through the California Department of Motor Vehicles. Although the donor card is a legal document, a family member can override the donor's decision. The only legal or binding document for organ donation is the "Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care". This document is given to a trusted individual who will carry out the wishes of the donor and abide by his or her decision. If neither document exists, it becomes the decision of the next of kin whether the organs will be donated.

UN says two more polio cases found in Syria
The World Health Organization says it has discovered two additional cases of the highly contagious polio virus in Syria, bringing the total number of cases in the country to 17.
Sona Bari, an official with the U.N. agency said the new cases are in Aleppo and in rural Damascus—far from where the first outbreak was discovered in the northeast province of Deir el-Zour in early November.
Those cases were the first discovered in Syria for over a decade, caused by the collapse of the health system in conflict areas. Half a million children were left without vaccinations.
Following the outbreak, the U.N. began its largest polio vaccination campaign in the region's history, trying to vaccinate and re-vaccinate 20 million children from Iraq to Turkey.

The Good and the Bad

Posted by Anonymous on 2008-06-15
HW has been around for nearly 20 years betting on small plays where they put a dollar in and are very happy to get 2-3 dollars back with small valuations and entry level teams. However, they are big and experienced enough now to move into a real first-tier firm, but are still somewhat afraid to "punch up" outside their self-perceived weight class.
The reason why Sequoia and (old) Kleiner have been so successful is their proven ability to weigh larger risks for larger rewards. The talent and dry powder is there at HW to move into the big time-- big potential companies in big markets that can change the world; but they need to step up and move out of incremental businesses for small paybacks to up-market VC where they really belong.
These are very, very smart people, and they have grown enough to evolve in their investments beyond the bush league and take their earned place among the players in building real $B businesses on Sand Hill Road.PRIVATE: Members Only (79 Characters)

How to
Use the Activities
Inquiry Question
The following activities engage students in learning about the role of schools and education in communities past and present. Students will have the opportunity to compare their own school experiences with those of students in the Freeman School in Nebraska.
Activity 1: And Today In School....
Activity 2: To Preserve or Not to Preserve
1. A farmer whose family helped to build the historic school
2. A former student of the historic school
B. Members who want to see the historic school torn down to make room for their project
C. Members who are neutral
The students playing members who have a strong position (either for or against) will try to persuade the undecided committee members to vote for their solution. Ask students to discuss the following questions in making their decision:
1. If they tear it down, what will they do with the land? How does it benefit the community? Does it benefit all members of the community or only some members? What costs (economic and cultural) come with a decision to tear it down?
The whole group will need to vote on the question: Should they tear down the building or keep it? Each member should justify his or her decision about the future of the building and the land. When they have finished, have the groups share what they chose to do with the rest of the class.
Activity 3: How Did My Town Grow
2. Was the school the first building in the area? Sometimes, communities sprung up around early one-room or first schools in an area. Was this the case with their community's school?
3. What types of activities took place at the school, both educational and community?
4. Has the building been changed, replaced, or demolished? If there are early pictures or floor plans, describe the changes. Why might these changes have happened?
Then ask students to share their findings, through oral, written, display, or computer slide-show presentations. Contact the school district's records managers to see if they would like to attend the student presentations, possibly for the purposes of adding the student research to the district's collection.

An army of volunteers seeks to help "Aunt Aggie," a 100-year-old Monee woman who raised 40 foster kids on her farm
April 27, 2010|By Colleen Mastony, Chicago Tribune reporter
Let the bankers come with their foreclosure notices. Invite the building inspectors, too. At 100 years old, Agnes Albinger has lived on her 70-acre patch of farmland longer than most of those people have been alive.
She has seen two world wars come and go, survived the Depression — in part by subsisting on minnow stew — and raised 40 foster children. Now, she has become a rallying point in this rural community as she fights to keep her Monee farm.
"I'll never leave," she said one recent morning, as she stood with a walker on her sagging front porch, looking out over the fields she tended for most of her life. "I'd like to stay here until I die. This is my home. This was my land. I owned everything once. I worked awful hard on this place to make it what it was."
As Albinger faces foreclosure on the property where she has lived since 1949, a coalition of friends and strangers has mobilized to help the woman everyone calls "Aunt Aggie." They have set up a , Web site, saveagnesfarm.com, and volunteered to help with cleaning and repairs. On a recent Saturday, nearly 100 people showed up to clear brush and haul away rusting farm equipment.
For many in Will County, helping Albinger seems to be one of the few ways they can push back against the waves of foreclosures and layoffs that have swept the nation.
"It goes further than what's happening to Agnes. This same thing is happening all over. The value of American land is going down, homes are foreclosing. All these bankers think about is how much money they can make," said Jim Armstrong, 59, a friend who helped organize volunteers. "They don't care that there's people who live on this land, people who love this land."
As for Albinger, she says she'd rather die than leave. Her body is stooped with age and her hands are gnarled from decades of labor. But her mind seems sharp, and she fiercely defends her right to live independently. " Nursing homes are made for people who cannot help themselves," said Albinger, who uses a walker and who has a live-in caretaker to help with the heavier chores. "I can cook my own meals. I can do my own dishes. I can do everything myself."
But the question of her best interests remains complicated. The farm has fallen into disrepair. The yard is strewn with cast-off furniture, stacks of old tractor tires, two abandoned cars. The porch is piled with junk. The roof leaks and, until recently, Albinger kept her last chicken inside the house, to protect it from raccoons.
And yet, when asked what the place means to her, Albinger replied simply: "Home. Don't you have a home? Then you know what it means. It's security. Love. Peacefulness."
From 1 big family to another
The fifth of 11 children, Albinger was born in 1909 to Lithuanian immigrant farmers who cultivated land they rented near Kankakee. As a child, she attended class in a one-room school house, herded cows on the open prairie and helped plow fields with a team of horses. After a failed harvest, the family moved to Chicago, where in 1940 Albinger married her husband, Matthew. "A wonderful husband," she said.
The couple couldn't have children of their own, so they became foster parents, taking in the orphaned and abandoned. They bought the farm in Monee in 1949. Back then, Albinger said the land was still "all prairies, all over. Wild animals, everywhere you could see." But, a few years after they purchased the property, Matthew died of a heart ailment, she and family members said.
"When my husband died, I had the four (foster) kids," Albinger recalled. "And the welfare let me keep them. They said they'll be company for me. As they grew up, I got more."
Over the years, she raised 35 boys and five girls. In 1969, she was nominated for Cook County Foster Mother of the Year, according to news clippings.
"She taught me everything — how to live and survive," said Michael Follmann, 54, who had bounced between more than a dozen "pretty brutal" foster homes by the time he came to Albinger's farm. "I was a hot-headed young boy at the age of 9 after all the stuff that happened to me. I didn't trust or believe in anybody. Then Agnes stepped into my life and taught me what it was like to trust people again, to have faith in people."
"In my opinion, she saved my life," said Greg Crosby, 54, who was 5 years old when his father abandoned him and five other siblings. The children had been malnourished and close to starvation, Crosby said, when Albinger took them in — all six kids — and made sure that the state didn't split them up. "She taught us how to garden and things like that. She taught us to take care of animals. It meant everything."
"I got my work ethic and, I think, my integrity through her," said Greg's brother, Ray Crosby, 57.
"I still call her 'Mom,' " said Richard Rose, 49, who was 6 when he came to the farm. "Who knows where I would be if it wasn't for her."
Albinger introduced her foster children to the wonders of farm life. She showed them how to feed baby chicks by dripping water off a fingertip, and how to use a hand crank to separate the milk from the cream. She kept all sorts of animals including, at times, two peacocks, a pony and a monkey.
Life followed the rhythms of the seasons. They planted corn in the spring, cut hay in the summer and brought turnips into the cellar in the fall.
As years passed, the children grew up and moved away. But Albinger kept the farm going and, even well into her 80s, still milked the cows by hand and kept a few head of beef cattle. "I used to overhaul my own tractors. I did all my own field work," she said. "I wasn't afraid of work."
The farm had been free of debt, family members said, until 2000, when court and land records show that Albinger took out a $100,000 mortgage on the property. Albinger then began to sign over parcels of land to a trust and also to a company called Phoenix Horizon LLC, which according to state records was formed by Albinger's niece, Bridget Gruzdis, 47.
In an e-mailed response to questions from the Tribune, Gruzdis said Phoenix Horizon was created "for the sole purpose of land development and sale."
Over six years, Albinger and Gruzdis took out a series of mortgages on the farm, eventually borrowing $700,000, according to court and land records.
Albinger says she might have signed some papers but never knew about the mortgage debt. In September, the bank initiated foreclosure proceedings. As recently as last week, a prospective buyer walked the property, which was put on the market a few years ago by Phoenix Horizon and is listed for $4.6 million, according to Ron Sales, a real estate agent in the area. But Albinger and other family members said they didn't even know the farm was for sale.
Monee Deputy Police Chief John Cipkar said that the department is investigating and detectives are trying to determine if "Agnes was in full knowledge of what she was doing" when she signed. DinSFLA- Course she didn't! They knew what they were doing was pulling a scam!
Gruzdis said in her e-mail that Albinger is suffering from dementia — an assertion that other family members dispute. She said that Albinger was involved in the formation of Phoenix Horizon and that the mortgages were taken to cover Albinger's expenses and to "provide funds for Phoenix Horizon's business objectives."
"Agnes absolutely did know," Gruzdis wrote. "Agnes was personally involved and signed all documents with her own hand." DinSFLA- Not so fast "STAR"…your part of the investigation!
'If I get to live here…'
In Will County, many hope that Albinger will somehow be able to stay on her land. In preparation for a May 1 deadline set by the Monee code enforcement department, volunteers have cleaned out Albinger's basement, removed a crumbling shed from the yard and towed away the old tractors. Next, they hope to fix up the interior of the house.
"You'd have to be coldhearted not to have some compassion for her," said Jim Frazier, 57, a volunteer. "I feel that she should be able to stay there at least to live out the days she has left."
Meanwhile, Albinger's extended family is struggling to decide if they should move her to a nursing home, a place where they believe she would be well-cared for, but where they fear she would be unhappy. "Myself, I would like to see her stay," said Bob Szorc, 68, a nephew. "I would like to see her retain her independence. And once she goes to a nursing home, that's not going to happen."
"If she goes to a nursing home, her life will be cut short. I don't think she'll care to live anymore," said Patricia Ritacco, 72, a niece. "You know, sometimes when you take away what's important to people, they can't exist any longer."
As for Albinger, she is enjoying spring on the farm. The daffodils are blooming in her garden and the lilac bushes have begun to flower along the northern fence line.
Even at 100 years old, Albinger is thinking about farming and making plans for the future. On a recent morning, she stood on her porch and eyed her last chicken, clucking in a cage. "She's a nice little girl," Albinger said. "If I get to live here, I'm going to buy a rooster and see if I can raise a couple of chicks."
Where is OPRAH??? Chicago hello???

Our Welsh friend Tom Doran sends along this amazing link. (Above is a different video of Nick Clegg jumping rope. The link's video is better, but not on YouTube). Tom explains the linked video:
A video of George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer... skipping rope. He's actually very good. Also featured: Ed Balls (shadow Chancellor), Nick Clegg (deputy PM, dead man walking) and David Davis (lost to Cameron in 2005 leadership contest, King Over the Water to a certain kind of Tory rightist).
I get the feeling Michelle Obama would smoke these clowns in a jump rope contest.

We learned earlier this week that long-simmering family feuds with her brother and sister-in-law are the least of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice's problems. On July 29th, Teresa and her husband Joe were charged by a federal grand jury with 39 counts of bank fraud and tax evasion, and both face up to 30 years in prison. They were released on a $500,000 bond each, and set to make a plea on August 14.
The Giudices are hardly the first reality stars to face very real problems. Check out some of the legal messes other reality stars and contestants have faced over the years:

Proloquo2Go iPad App for the Speech Impaired Student
Proloquo2Go is an iPad app that helps student with speech impairments be more easily understood in the classroom. If a student is partially paralyzed, or suffers from multiple sclerosis or amyotropic lateral sclerosis, Proloquo2Go may help him communicate more clearly and participate more fully in the classroom.
It's estimated that around 2.5 million Americans are speech-disabled to the extent that they experience significant difficulty being understood by other people. This can be due to a variety of reasons but is often caused by amyotropic lateral sclerosis or, as it's more commonly known, Lou Gehrig's disease.
Many people who suffer from this combination of vocal and motor skills weakness often purchase and use an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device. These devices allow users to select combinations of symbols, words, and sounds, and convert them to synthesized speech. A typical AAC device can cost several thousand dollars.
Proloquo2Go is an AAC app that works on an iPad and provides similar functionality to these expensive AAC devices for a small fraction of the cost. That's because it uses the existing hardware features of the iPad.
Proloquo2Go includes a library of more than 14,000 symbols, automatic conjugations, word prediction, multiuser support, and the capability to fully customize vocabularies for users along a broad continuum of abilities, from beginning symbolic communication to full literacy. Proloquo2Go provides a range of natural sounding text-to-speech voices, both male and female, adult and child, and with American or British accents.
You build phrases by tapping symbols with words and phrases under them. For example, the home screen offers categories such as "I want," "I need help," "food," "drinks," and so on. Tapping one gives you underlying words and phrases. As you tap a symbol, the phrase is added to the top and spoken. The built-in logic takes you to connected phrases automatically to help complete the sentence.
In addition, the interface is extremely flexible and customizable; you can add words and phrases to the app's vocabulary. It's a terrific communication aid for users with this type of disability.

Every year, staff at the State Archives of Florida gets ready for the Florida History Fair by searching out primary source documents and compiling a list of resources for students and teachers. One of this year's suggested Florida-related topics is "Commercial Fishing Net Ban: Economics, Ecology, and Responsibility." That topic led us to this story.
In 1980, folklorist Peggy Bulger interviewed net maker Billy Burbank III as part of her research on the fishing industry in Florida. Burbank told Bulger the tale of a fishing boat that accidentally caught something very strange in its trawl nets.
Billy Burbank and the Strangest Catch
B: My name is Billy Burbank, III. I was born in Fernandina Beach, Florida, October 2, 1951.
P: Now tell me something about your grandfather, William Burbank.
B: Well, my grandfather was born on Cumberland Island which is in Georgia. He started shrimping oh back in his early years when he was 15-16 years old. He got into the shrimp business, oh just starting shrimping and started making his own nets.
And when oh his nets seemed to out produce everybody else's nets. Then everybody decided to get him to make their nets and then that's when we got started in the net business in about 1915 and been in it ever since.
P: […] Oh, what is the strangest catch you've ever heard anybody catching around here?
B: Strangest catch?
P: Yeah.
B: […] Probably be oh, submarines. An actual submarine in someone's net started towing the boat backwards almost sinking the boat didn't even realize they had the shrimp boat caught. It was the— not a Navy submarine. It was a German, I mean a Russian submarine.
P: Here?
B: Well, it was off this coast, yeah. They didn't even realize that they had the submarine in the net at first. They were towed one way and all of a sudden started going backwards of the cable popped. And just a little while later they saw the submarine surface with the shrimp net on top of 'em. I guess I'd have to say that is the weirdest catch.
Learn More About Net Making
Burbank nets have been used by people in the U.S. from North Carolina down to Florida and up the Gulf Coast through the Texas Panhandle area. Their nets have also been exported to Central and South America and Africa. At the time of the interview, Burbank Trawl Makers was the largest producer of fishing nets in the United States.
In the interview, Burbank also describes the different net types and uses – including flat nets, four seam balloon nets, two seam balloon nets, and a modification that Billy Burbank III developed called the Mongoose, which is actually two nets in one.
Read the full interview in Netmaking and Net Fishing in Florida.
[UPDATE: Known since its inception in 1980 as the "Florida History Fair," the program name is changing to "Florida History Day" (FHD) in keeping with the style of other National History Day (NHD) affiliates.]

Mississippi public health and law enforcement officials fear the state is on the cusp of an opioid overdose crisis.
That's because the state ranks fifth in the nation for the number of opioids being prescribed. Last week, Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant issued an executive order to create an Opioid and Heroin Study Task Force.
To better understand the crisis, the Daily Journal has run an extensive two-day series examining the issues with opioid abuse and the steps being taken now to combat a potential health care emergency. Reporters Michaela Morris and William Moore (12:13) completed that series, and they join Derek and Brad on today's episode for an extensive discussion of the topic.
Enough opioid painkillers are prescribed in Mississippi each year that every person in the state could have 70 pills. The state has not yet seen the increase in opioid-related deaths that has plagued other states like Kentucky, West Virginia and Alabama. But with prescription rates so high, officials fear it may only be a matter of time.
Michaela and William talk about the growing problem, as well as options that are available for recovery and rehabilitation.
Also, Daily Journal Capitol Bureau chief Bobby Harrison (48:56) joins us to talk about the future of civil service protection in Mississippi.
Legislative leaders and Gov. Phil Bryant are considering removing the safeguard for state workers. They say doing so would make for a more efficient and less costly state government. Opponents say the civil service system protects employees from political patronage.

BALTIMORE – UMBC senior guard Quentin Jones' (Baltimore, Md./Mount St. Joseph) improbable tip-in with 2.4 seconds remaining broke a 69-all tie and gave the host Retrievers a 71-69 victory over defending league champion Albany in an America East contest at the RAC Arena.
Jones and freshman guard Rodney Elliott (Baltimore, Md./John Carroll) shared scoring honors with 16 points each.
Albany sophomore guard Peter Hooley led all scorers with 21 points, scoring all 21 in the second half.
There were eight lead changes and six ties in the second half. UA forward Sam Rowley tied the score at 69-all by hitting one of two free throws with 21 seconds remaining. Elliott drove from the left wing, but his shot was short, but Jones, the smallest player on the court at 6'0", tipped in the errant shot to give the Retrievers the lead.
After a stoppage in play to examine the clock, Albany's inbounds pass was intercepted by Jones, and UMBC had snapped a nine-game losing streak to the Great Danes.
The Retrievers won for the ninth time (9-15, 5-7 AE), surpassing last year's win total and posting its most victories since the 2008-09 season. Albany slipped to 12-13, 6-6.
UMBC freshman post David Kadiri (Beltsville, Md./Coolidge) added 13 points for UMBC, while UA senior forward Gary Johnson added 20 for the visitors.
After falling behind, 15-4 in the first six minutes, the Retrievers outscored Albany, 33-12, over the final 14 minutes and took a 37-27 halftime advantage. UMBC forced 10 Great Dane turnovers and scored 14 points off those miscues. Jones hit 4-of-6 shots from the floor and led UMBC with 11 points at the break.
The visitors opened the second half on a 10-2 run to narrow the gap to 39-37 just 2:11 into the stanza and took their first lead since the 8:36 mark of the first half on a Johnson tip-in at 45-44 with 13:13 remaining.
The Danes led, 48-46 on a three-point play by Johnson at the 12:31 mark, before UMBC countered with a 8-1 run, highlighted by treys by freshman wing Will Darley (Timonium, Md./Dulaney) and sophomore forward Malik Garner (Philadelphia, Pa./Chestnut Hill Acad.).
UMBC led, 54-49 the midpoint of the half and did not give up that lead until Hooley hit a contested elbow jumper to put his side ahead, 66-65 with 1:08 remaining.
On UMBC's next two possessions, Elliott drew fouls on drives to the basket. He converted two free throws each time, sandwiched around another Hooley jumper. His final two free throws gave the Retrievers a 69-68 lead with 31 seconds left.
UMBC was best outside the arc, hitting 8-of-19 attempts, while UA did its damage on the interior and at the free throw line. The Danes hit 23-of-45 field goal attempts (51.1%) and converted 20 free throws, outscoring UMBC by seven from the stripe.
Elliott added a team-best seven rebounds, while Jones had four helpers and no turnovers in 33 minutes.
UMBC takes to the road on Saturday, Feb. 15, facing first-place Vermont in Burlington in a 2:00 contest.
Notes: Elliott became the fourth UMBC Division I player to amass 300 points (375) and 100 re bounds (104) as a freshman... UMBC's last victory over Albany occured on March 8, 2009 in the America East semifinals at SEFCU Arena... Jones hit 3-of-5 from behind the arc, and has now made 14 of his last 24 attempts (58.3%) over the past five games.

Experts have issued a warning that 'aliens' are threatening Britain's rarest reptile, after European lizards have moved over from the continent - and are killing our native species.
The continental wall lizard has been spotted in its hundreds across the south coast causing a significant drop in rare native sand lizards.
Experts are now urging the public to keen an eye out for the 'alien' lizards so they can keep tabs on local wildlife figures.
Robert Williams, doctoral student from Leeds University, has set up an online mapping system so eagle eyed spotters can report their sightings of the wall-climbing reptiles.
He said: "They could have a competitive interaction with native lizards, the main focus of my study is to quantify where wall lizards have increased and where native ones have declined.
"There is a lot of evidence to suggest that the wall lizards are increasing and the sand lizard is in trouble, they are suffering in terms of their habitat loss.
"There is a major reintroduction process going on for the sand lizard.
"Wall lizards have been in Bournemouth since the 1960s and they are quite common, but since the wall lizard have been there it is very hard to find sand lizards, they are one of the rarest reptiles in Britain.
"They both share the same habitat and compete for the same food resources.
"If wall lizards reach seriously invasive stages it could have an impact on bugs and butterflies on the flip side they could provide a food source for birds of prey like kestrels."
Wall lizards can grow up to 20cm in length and can be identified from a mottled pattern on its back and sometimes blue scales along its sides.
Unlike British lizards, which spend their time on the ground, wall lizards are very agile and are often seen running up vertical surfaces.
He added: "Wall lizards are very easy to spot basking on sunny days.
"Considerable survey effort is required to get around to all the known wall lizard sites and there is a need for updated population surveys, assessment of range expansion, and of course identification of new populations.
"The public can help us assess just how widespread the lizards are in the UK and make a valuable contribution to this project by reporting your own wall lizard sightings, whether locally or further afield."
Sand lizards, native to Dorset, Sussex, Kent and Hampshire are facing a dramatic loss in habitat prompting wildlife campaigners to introduce a captive breeding programme.

How to Delete Icons in Mountain Lion
To get rid of an icon — any icon — merely drag it onto the Trash icon on your Mountain Lion Dock. Trashing an alias gets rid of only the alias, not the parent file. But trashing a document, folder, or application icon puts it in the Trash, where it will be deleted permanently the next time you empty the Trash.
The Finder menu offers a couple of commands that help you manage the Trash:
Finder→Empty Trash: This command deletes all items in the Trash from your hard drive, period.
Use this command with a modicum of caution. After a file is dragged into the Trash and the Trash is emptied, the file is gone, gone, gone unless you have a Time Machine or other backup. (Okay, maybe ProSoft Engineering's Data Rescue II or some other third-party utility can bring it back, but don't bet the farm on it.)
Finder→Secure Empty Trash: Choosing this command makes the chance of recovery by even the most ardent hacker or expensive disk-recovery tool difficult to virtually impossible. Now the portion of the disk that held the files you're deleting will be overwritten with randomly generated gibberish. You're hosed unless you have a Time Machine or other backup.
If you put something in the Trash by accident, you can almost always return it whence it came: Just invoke the magical Undo command. Choose Edit→Undo or press cmd+Z. The accidentally trashed file returns to its original location. Usually.
Unfortunately, Undo doesn't work every time — and it remembers only the very last action that you performed when it does work — so don't rely on it too much.

How well do you know the Code? Think you can spot violations the original installer either ignored or couldn't identify? Here's your chance to moonlight as an electrical inspector and second-guess someone else's work from the safety of your living room or office. Joe Tedesco, who has a knack for finding shoddy electrical work, did the dirty work and found this mess. Now it's your turn to identify the violation.
Find the Answer
The following individuals correctly identified the Code violations shown in the May column: Travis Halstead, general foreman, Morrow Meadows Corp., City of Industry, Calif.; John Lundberg, engineer, Cupertino Electric, Santa Clara, Calif.; Richard Erle, electric foreman, Florida Hospital, Altamonte Springs, Fla.
The flexible cord used in this installation was connected with a fitting that wasn't designed for this purpose. And even if it was designed specifically for this cord, it still can't be used for the permanent supply to stage equipment. Flexible cords can't be used as a substitute for fixed wiring under any circumstances (400.8).
In addition, the metallic cable assembly that runs from the cabinet to the device box enclosing the receptacle isn't properly secured, and the fitting that was used may not be designed for this use. Per 110.3(B), listed or labeled equipment shall be installed and used in accordance with any instructions included in the listing or labeling.
See Art. 320 and Art. 330 for specific support requirements for these types of wiring methods. See 320.30 for securing and supporting Type AC Cable and 330.30 for securing and supporting Type MC cable.

Who's More Important?
3 comments:
Maybe the speaker's comment that "we can live without medical care, we cannot live without justice" should be posted in the EDs along with his name and photo, similar to those FBI posters at the post office... Do you suppose he would reconsider if he were sitting in the ED with symptoms of MI?
