I am not the me that others think I should be. Especially if you judge my identity by those who co-opt my name and personal details – or put my image with a different name – online.
I was first alerted to my non-uniqueness by an odd tweet I received on summer vacation overseas: "Would seem like someone is scamming using your photo? Are these you?" Curious, I clicked on the link. It took me to a Facebook profile that indeed looked like it should be mine, with profile photos of me in a tux at the GeekWire Gala and on a European train.
Except the name on the profile was "Philip Graham." From a city I've never even visited in Michigan.
After exchanging more tweets, I discovered photos of me under the non-Frank name had also been posted on Flickr and emailed, apparently, to a family. "Basically a classic romance scam to steal money," my correspondent concluded. Almost offhand, he added, "Found you as he sent me a photo of yourself that you put on 'Four tech terms to forget in '14' that you wrote for 1/5/2014."
Slightly unsettled and thousands of miles away, I mentally filed this under "handled." But it wasn't, really. Any more so than trying to steer around a floating piece of ice ended the bother for the captain of the Titanic.
A few months later, a friend suggested I should check out the blog of Alec Couros, a Canadian who, like me, is involved in education technology. What I read in three blog posts spanning roughly a year creeped me out. Not Couros' description of the state of edtech. This: "Scammers used photos of me to create a false identity."
In his series of posts, Couros described emails he'd received from women who had been defrauded or heartbroken in catfishing scams thinking Couros (or his exact double) was romancing them. He detailed his attempts to shut down scammers reportedly using parts of his identity on Skype, Christian Mingle, eHarmony, Match.com, Plenty of Fish, European social network VK.com, and Facebook (an effort which, in October, strangely backfired before it was reversed). "At any given time," he wrote, "There are at least three fake Alec Couros' on Twitter or Facebook, and likely dozens if not hundreds of others that I do not know about."
That unsettled feeling was back, immediately confirmed by a search on Twitter.
Now "Frank Catalano" is a fine name, and there are many legitimate eponymous Twitter handles. Frank Catalano (@CatalanoMusic), the Grammy-winning jazz saxophonist. Frank Catalano (@fcatalano), the Robotech voice actor and acting coach.
But not Frank Catalano (@FrankCatalano9), who used the same avatar, profile photo, bio and website as my real Twitter account. Yet was clearly closer to college age: "Finally done with my Stock Market Project for Econ," non-me tweeted earlier this year.
More troubling were random observations about religion, increasing in frequency since the account first tweeted in May 2013. I also had no idea how many of faux-Frank's few 56 followers thought he was me – or how many had engaged with him via direct message, thinking they were messaging me.
On October 12, I reported faux-Frank to Twitter support, leading to a request to scan and upload my driver's license and passport. By October 20, faux- was former-Frank with the confirming email, "We've removed the reported account for a violation of Twitter Rules."
"Philip Graham" on Facebook proved more challenging. Direct impersonation was one thing. Using my photos as that person's only public profile photos – well, Facebook's profile reporting for Identity and Privacy didn't seem to have an option for that. If you select photo content as the problem with a profile, you're prompted to message that person to take them down. Right.
But "Philip Graham," too, is now gone, reported October 26, taken down October 29 after Facebook reviewed what it called my "pretending to be you" report. I still have no idea how many people the dubious doppelganger friended, or what else he posted behind Facebook's Friend wall. Nor do I yet have the guts to do a reverse-image search on Google or TinEye to see how many more faux-Franks are out there.
It's what happens after someone thinks the pretender is you that really matters, as Alec Couros told me when I reached out to (what I assumed was) him directly. Scammers "quickly move into a personal SMS or similar relationship with their victims," he says. "Once they have directly connected to their victims, the fake profiles become fairly meaningless and are used mostly for finding new victims."
Even getting fake identity pages taken down doesn't seem to deter them. "When the sites go down after I've reported them," Couros notes, "often scammers will say that they have done so purposefully for whatever reason they contrive."
"I am convinced this problem is much more widespread than we realize," Couros says. He thinks the embarrassment of the victims itself can get in the way of finding solutions. Not to mention, as I discovered, the cluelessness of those being misrepresented.
Yet the best defense, perhaps counterintuitively, is to take a stronger digital identity offense. Couros reasons that if a person has just a few photos online, scammers can fill in gaps and weave those photos together into a false story: "Not having a distinct presence online makes it more difficult to find the real person associated with those photos." If you post a lot of images online on sites obviously tied to, or controlled by, you, it's easier for others to connect the pixels. That was how my vacation tweeter discovered me, via an image posted on another site.
What also might help? Viewers of social media, dating sites (and other online services that encourage individual profiles) need to develop the web literacy to sniff out whether claims are valid or suspect. In other words, they need to vigorously develop and apply a good, old-fashioned bullshit detector.

Rosacea can vary from one individual to another. Experts believe that Rosacea generally includes at least one of the following primary signs, with the possibility of a number of secondary signs.
Primary signs of Rosacea include flushing, persistent redness, bumps and pimples, visible blood vessels.
Secondary signs and symptoms include eye irritation; a burning or stinging sensation on the face; facial skin that appears dry; raised red patches called plaques will develop; the skin on the face thickens, especially on the nose; facial swelling; signs and symptoms may extend beyond the face and include the neck, chest, scalp and/or ears.
Subtypes of Rosacea
Rosacea can be broken down into four subtypes, each one defined is based on the common patterns and/or groupings of the signs and symptoms of the disorder.
Subtype 1 – the skin is characterized by flushing and persistent redness. It is very sensitive, swollen and may sting or burn. It is rough or dry and may also include visible blood vessels.
Subtype 2 – the skin is characterized by persistent redness with some bumps and pimples. In addition, the skin is oily and plaques could be present.
Subtype 3 – This is a rare subtype that most often occurs when signs from another subtype show up first. The skin in this type is characterized by an appearance of enlarged pores; the skin begins to thicken, often resulting in an enlargement of the nose from excess tissue. This can also occur on the chin, forehead, cheeks and/or ears.
Subtype 4 – this is characterized by symptoms and/or signs that manifest in the eye. Dry eye, tearing, itching and burning, swollen eyelids, blurry vision, recurrent styes and sensitivity to light are all signs of Subtype 4.
Rosacea is a harmless, chronic condition, but it can be an emotionally devastating one. It cannot be cured, only controlled – and it is difficult to hide, which often impacts the self-esteem of those who have it.
At the last estimate, about 16 million Americans have one type of Rosacea or another, and only a tiny percentage of those people seek proper treatment for their condition. Women and people with fair skin tend to have the condition more and it usually affects adults between the ages 30 to 60 years of age.
Many famous people struggle with the public signs of Rosacea. Among them Renée Zellweger, President Bill Clinton, Prince Charles, Mariah Carey and Cameron Diaz, to name a few. The always humble Renée Zellweger has the persistent facial redness and flushing that are two primary signs of rosacea, particularly subtype 1. Cameron Diaz has never confirmed her condition, but if in fact she does have Rosacea, it is likely subtype 2, which is characterized by small transient pimples and facial redness. Former President Bill Clinton and Prince Charles both have the debilitating skin condition, resulting in a flushed, rugged complexion and thickening skin.

This combination is designed to support the healthy function of the prostate and other testosterone sensitive tissues in men.
Ultra Preventive ® X
Studies show that a high percentage of adults in North America and other developed areas eat less than the minimum daily allowance of 10 or more essential nutrients. Adequate amounts and proper balance of these nutrients are needed not only for maintaining good health, but also for the dietary management of the body's structure as well as the optimum functioning of its various systems, including the immune and gastrointestinal systems.
Opti-DHA ™ Enteric-Coated
The omega-3 fatty acid EPA is the direct precursor for the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins E1 and E3, softgels, provided by Douglas Laboratories, contain a novel ratio of essential omega-3 fatty acids, derived from marine lipid concentrate. Processed by molecular distillation, Opti-DHA is an excellent source of these fatty acids, providing 450 mg of docosahexeanoic acid(DHA) and 150 mg eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA) per serving.
Ayur-Ashwaganda, provided by Douglas Laboratories, supplies 300 mg of ashwaganda in each capsule.Withania somnifera, also known as ashwaganda, is a traditional herb used in Ayurvedic medicine.

A Hormone Specific™ Formulation of phytoandrogens, androgenic adaptogens, androgen agonists and androgen mimetics to help promote optimal testosterone function by maintaining the health of testosterone producing glands in both men and women and by supporting the healthy functions of testosterone responsive tissues in both men and women.
Liquid Vitamin D-3
Vitamin D, also known as the "sunshine vitamin" is an essential vitamin that plays many important roles in the proper functioning of the body. Though classified as a vitamin, vitamin D is actually a key regulatory hormone for calcium and bone metabolism. Adequate vitamin D status is essential for ensuring normal calcium absorption and maintenance of healthy plasma calcium levels.† Besides bone support, vitamin D has many other roles in the body, including modulation of cell growth, neuromuscular and immune function.
Relora ®-Plex
Relora-Plex, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a unique blend containing two patent-pending herbal extracts, specifically designed to support normal mental functioning during stress and anxiety. Cortisol, a hormone produced in the adrenal glands, plays an important role in the body's regulation of cardiovascular function and fat, protein and carbohydrate utilization. When the body experiences stress, cortisol secretion increases, thus causing a breakdown of muscle protein and the release of amino acids to form glucose via gluconeogenesis.
Resvida™ trans-resveratrol in vegetarian capsules. Resveratrol is a naturally occurring plant polyphenol commonly found in grape vines and skins. Resveratrol is highly regarded as an antioxidant and may play important roles in supporting normal cardiovascular and mitochondrial function. Resveratrol may also be useful in supporting sustained muscle function and reducing muscle fatigue. † Recent studies demonstrate that it can help maintain normal oxidative responses in human and animal cells. Other studies indicate it may also be supportive in maintaining the normal aging process, by helping to prevent free radical damage that can lead to premature aging of cells.
DHEA (25 mg.)
DHEA is a natural steroid hormone that is synthesized from cholesterol through pregnenolone by the adrenal glands. DHEA acts as an antagonist for glucocorticosteroid hormones and is the parent precursor for other important steroid hormones, such as estradiol and other estrogens, and testosterone. While not a precursor to progesterone, DHEA can indirectly influence progesterone synthesis through a feedback mechanism whereby pregnenolone is converted to progesterone based on DHEA levels. Apart from these functions, DHEA also has important biological functions itself. Recent experimental and human studies show that is involved in a large variety of physiological.
Ultrazyme ™
Ultrazyme™ The pancreas supplies the major digestive enzymes that catalyze the breakdown of fats, carbohydrates and protein, so that the breakdown products can be absorbed in the upper small intestine. Although fat digestion starts in the mouth with salivary lipase, most triglycerides are digested by pancreatic lipase, which is secreted by the exocrine pancreas into the duodenum of the intestine. Pancreatic lipase cleaves triglycerides into monoglycerides and free fatty acids, which are efficiently absorbed in the upper small intestine. Some carbohydrate digestion takes place in the mouth by salivary amylase, but pancreatic amylase is the major carbohydrate-digesting enzyme.
NeuroTone ®

A Chinese tourist was found dead on a day trip to Naka Yai Island earlier today (April 14) after succumbing what police at this stage believe to be a fatal case of heat stroke.
Thalang Police were notified of the incident at about 3pm, when they were told that an emergency involving a Chinese tourist had occurred and that the tourist was being brought back to shore by speedboat to Ao Por in Pa Khlok, on Phuket's east coast.
Police identified the deceased as Chinese national Gu Weidong, 47, from Shanghai.
At the pier, police found no evidence of physical injury, and had Mr Gu's body taken to Thalang Hospital for medical examination.
Thangneng Saeho, 24, a registered tour guide, told police that Mr Gu arrived in Phuket on holiday on Thursday (April 12).
Mr Gu was staying in Patong and left his hotel to join a day trip to Naka Yai Island with nine others at 11am.
Mr Saeho explained that Mr Gu went jet-skiing while at Naka Yai Island.
"He returned to the beach and had a nap. When we went to wake him, we discovered that he had died," he said.
Police confirmed that they have yet to conclude the cause of death and were waiting on the results of the medical examination.
Mr Gu's relatives have been notified of his death, police confirmed.

Preservation Week Roundup
All last week we participated in Preservation Week, an initiative of ALCTS to promote the role of libraries in preserving personal and public collections and treasures.
We asked some of our authors 3 preservation questions and published the answers throughout the week. We also republished a classic blogpost by Michele Cloonan on human rights, cultural genocide and the persistence of preservation.
The 3 preservation questions that we asked were;
1. Why is preservation awareness so important?
2. What are some ways that libraries and archives can reach out to communities about the importance of preservation?
3. Digital collections are growing fast, and their formats are prone to obsolescence. What are some current or proposed digital collection initiatives from cultural institutions that give you hope for the future?
We have collected all our posts from Preservation Week in one handy list below:
3 Preservation Questions: Helen Forde and Jonathan Rhys-Lewis (co- authors of Preserving our Heritage)
3 Preservation Questions: Walker Sampson (co-author of The No-nonsense Guide to Born-digital)
3 Preservation Questions: Janet Anderson and David Anderson (co-editors of Preserving Complex Digital Objects)

Entry-level guidance for managing born-digital content
Facet Publishing have announced the release of Heather Ryan and Walker Sampson's The No-nonsense Guide to Born-digital Content.
Libraries and archives of all sizes are collecting and managing an increasing proportion of digital content. Within this body of digital content is a growing pool of 'born-digital' content: content that has been created and has often existed solely in digital form. The No-nonsense Guide to Born-digital Content explains step by step processes for developing and implementing born-digital content workflows in library and archive settings and includes a range of case studies collected from small, medium and large institutions internationally.
Authors Heather Ryan and Walker Sampson said,
Our book is for librarians and archivists who have found themselves managing or are planning to manage born-digital content and who may feel somewhat unsure of their ability to take on a task that by all appearances demands a high level of technological expertise
The book covers the basics of digital information; selection, acquisition, accessioning and ingest; description, preservation and access; methods for designing and implementing workflows for born-digital collection processing; and strategies and philosophies to move forward as technologies change.
Trevor Owens, Head of Digital Content Management at the Library of Congress said,
Librarians, archivists and museum professionals need to collectively move away from thinking about digital, and in particular born-digital, as being niche topics for specialists. If our institutions are to meet the mounting challenges of serving the cultural memory functions of an increasingly digital-first society the institutions themselves need to transition to become digital-first themselves. We can't just keep hiring a handful of people with the word 'digital' in their job titles. You don't go to a digital doctor to get someone who uses computing as part of their medical practice, and we can't expect that the digital archivists are the ones who will be the people who do digital things in archives. The things this book covers are things that all cultural heritage professionals need to get up to speed on.
Heather Ryan is the Director of Special Collections, Archives & Preservation and Assistant Professor at the University of Colorado Boulder Libraries. She earned her PhD in Information and Library Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Walker Sampson is the Digital Archivist at the University of Colorado Boulder Libraries. He earned his MS in Information Science at the University of Texas at Austin before beginning work at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History in 2011.

How do I make a career in Special Collections?
Guest post by Alison Cullingford, author of The Special Collections Handbook.
Why work in Special Collections?
Special Collections work is fantastically rewarding: one never knows what will happen when the phone rings or a new email comes in. It is a joy to bring hidden collections to life, to see how they inform and inspire users.
Special Collections is a sector which is booming and full of confidence and innovation. Many universities and other organisations are realising that in tough times their collections are unique and distinctive assets, and investing in premises, and, crucially, staff.
A note of caution
As with most heritage and arts careers, Special Collections work is popular and therefore competition for jobs can be significant. The widest range of opportunities is probably in London or 'Oxbridge', though do not despair: there are jobs in national libraries, research libraries and universities, cathedrals etc all over the UK. Permanent roles are scarce so project work is often the way to get into the sector.
Here are some tips to help you build a career in Special Collections despite the challenges.
Focus on skills
Special Collections staff need many skills, including:
- 'Traditional skills'. These are distinctive to Special Collections, or shared with specialist academics and colleagues. Traditional skills include:
- Historical bibliography: how items in collections were made.
- Preservation: how to look after collections.
- Cataloguing: how to describe collections so people can discover them.
- Languages: Latin is particularly useful, though not always essential.
- Palaeography: how to read handwriting.
- Subject and collection knowledge.
- Soft skills. You will need to be able to communicate effectively orally and in writing, to work well in a team but to manage your own time, including conflicting priorities, and to be able to help users of all kinds and levels of experience.
- Future skills. The Special Collections librarian of the future will need to be equipped for a tough and fast-changing world. Consider:
- Digital literacy – encompasses a huge range of skills and will continue to develop.
- Advocacy and evidence-based practice. Understanding statistics is essential!
- Knowledge of legal and contractual issues.
But please don't be too put off by these huge lists. Skills are built up gradually and not all jobs require everything all at once. There are many ways to improve your skills, even if you are unable to attend conferences or training events. Consider apps (very useful for languages), online learning resources, webinars, reading printed books, not to mention the resources which appear below under 'Connections'.
Seek and seize opportunities
For example:
- Your job title may not involve Special Collections, but maybe you can find a way to work with collections in the organisation. If you are working in a library, there are probably distinctive collections somewhere on the premises. Consider talking to colleagues and managers about your interests so they can help you find opportunities. Some element of voluntary work could be helpful and would show evidence of commitment to the sector as well as boosting your skills.
- Conference bursaries. Most significant library conferences offer these, in exchange for helping out and/or writing a report about your experience.
Build connections
Join and engage with relevant groups, such as CILIP Rare Books and Special Collections Group and the Historic Libraries Forum.
It is easier than ever to connect with Special Collections communities:
- Social media platforms: full of librarians, archivists, scholars and enthusiasts sharing collections objects and discussing the joys and challenges of their work. Watch out for 'chats' and other themed events. I recommend #uklibchat, #archivehour, and, coming up later in November, #explorearchives. You can also join in with conferences via their hashtags, such as the recent #rbscg17 and forthcoming #dcdc17.
- Mailing lists reach all professionals including those who aren't active on social media. Lis-rarebooks is a low-traffic list populated by helpful rare book people.
- In recent years more and more librarians and heritage professionals have set up their own events and groups. Watch out for such activities as teachmeets, show and tell, and unconferences. These often take place out of working hours so folk in less relevant jobs can still attend. See for example Heritage Show and Tell.
Think like an employer
Most Special Collections jobs are in public sector organisations, which recruit and select via automated and standardised processes which aim to be fair to all applicants. You need to engage with these systems but make sure you stand out.
Above all, if you are asked for an example during the application process or an interview, give a strong, real one that illustrates your skills. Employers are looking for specific examples not vague generalisations. Do draw on whatever work experience you have, for example dealing with difficult customers or teamwork can be demonstrated well by experiences from shop or bar work.
Persist, but be flexible
It took me eight years from qualifying as a librarian to becoming a full-time Special Collections person, so I do understand that it is not easy. It is worth reflecting on what attracts you about Special Collections work, and being open to other opportunities that may give you similar job satisfaction. Many roles in heritage, education and the arts offer similar rewards.
Best of luck!

Art and design librarians of the world, read on, you have nothing to lose but your innocence
The second edition of The Handbook of Art and Design Librarianship edited by Paul Glassman and Judy Dyki is out now.
Since the publication of the first edition of this handbook, the world of art and design libraries has been rocked by rapid advances in technology, an explosion in social media, the release of new standards and guidelines, shifts in the materials and processes of contemporary art, innovative developments in publishing models, expanding roles of librarians, new perspectives surrounding library spaces, and the evolving needs and expectations of art and design students.
Revised and updated with mostly new chapters, The Handbook of Art and Design Librarianship provides an accessible guide to librarians working in art and design environments who need to support and anticipate the information needs of artists, designers, architects and historians who study those disciplines.
The authors said,
"The handbook delineates roles and responsibilities for art and design librarians, offers guidelines for materials and collections management, reviews best practice in teaching and learning, and presents innovative approaches to knowledge creation, library spaces and promotion and sustainability."
Clive Phillpot, former Director of the Library at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, said,
"The contributors to this book are writing from the front line. So, art and design librarians of the world, read on, you have nothing to lose but your innocence."
The book is out now and will be essential reading for students taking library and information science courses in art librarianship, special collections, and archives, as well as practising library and information professionals in art and design school libraries, art museum libraries and public libraries.
Paul Glassman is Director of University Libraries and Adjunct Instructor of Architectural History and Design at Yeshiva University.
Judy Dyki is Director of Library and Academic Resources at Cranbrook Academy of Art and Editor of Art Documentation: Journal of the Art Libraries Society of North America.
Foreword by Clive Phillpot, Fermley Press, London (formerly Director of the Library, Museum of Modern Art, New York).

Making the case for open licensing in cultural heritage institutions
Facet Publishing have announced the release of Open Licensing for Cultural Heritage by Gill Hamilton and Fred Saunderson.
In the digital era, libraries, archives, museums and galleries are no longer constrained by the physical limitations of their buildings, analogue books, manuscripts, maps, paintings and artefacts. Cultural collections now can be safely distributed and shared globally. To ensure that the benefits of this ability to share are realised, cultural institutions must endeavour to provide free and open access to their digital collections. The tool for achieving this is open licensing.
Featuring real-world case studies from diverse education and heritage organizations, Open Licensing for Cultural Heritage digs into the concept of 'open' in relation to intellectual property. It explores the organizational benefits of open licensing and the open movement, including the importance of content discoverability, arguments for wider collections impact and access, the practical benefits of simplicity and scalability, and more ethical and principled arguments related to the protection of public content and the public domain.
The authors said,
"Openly sharing our knowledge, experience, content and culture for free is not a new concept. Sharing is an innate and natural part of our human character. Forward looking, inclusive, modern, relevant cultural heritage organizations must play a central role in supporting free, open access to culture at a global level. This is possible, practical and achievable with considered and informed application of an open licensing framework. Our book will provide readers with the insight, knowledge, and confidence to make a case for and implement an open licensing approach."
Gill Hamilton is Digital Access Manager at the National Library of Scotland where she leads on access to the Library's extensive digital collections, and oversees its resource discovery and library management systems.
Fred Saunderson is the National Library of Scotland's Intellectual Property Specialist where he has responsibility for providing copyright and intellectual property advice and guidance, as well as coordinating licensing and re-use procedures.

Practical guidance for valuing objects in cultural collections
Facet Publishing have announced the release of Freda Matassa's new book Valuing Your Collection: A practical guide for museums, libraries and archives
Assigning a financial value to a cultural object is always difficult, as there is no right answer. It is one of the many tasks of the curator, whether they work in a gallery, museum, archive or library, yet it is a role for which few have had any training and that many approach with a lack of confidence. Even if there is a profound knowledge of the subject matter, there may be insufficient experience in the market for cultural objects. However, although it may not be easy, it has to be done.
In Valuing Your Collection, collections management expert Freda Matassa examines the issues around valuing objects in cultural collections, describing current practice in museums, libraries and archives, and giving practical advice on how to assign values. Matassa looks at the difference between value and worth and at how cultural value can be translated into monetary terms. She outlines the arguments over whether financial values should be assigned at all and provides guidance on how to approach a valuation by making comparisons and using a step-by-step process for which templates for a wide range of collections are provided.
Matassa said,
Valuation is fraught with difficulties for cultural collections. Finance is not their core business. Curators have little or no training and are reluctant to mention money as it may detract from significance. My book is designed to give the non-specialist confidence in their decision making.
Freda Matassa FRSA MA (Hons) DipAL DipEd is a well-known UK expert on collections management who advises, teaches and lectures internationally. Currently Director of Matassa Toffolo, a museum-standard art consultancy, former Head of Collections Management at Tate Galleries and co-founder of the European Registrars Conference, she is expert adviser on several European projects for museum standards and to the Minister of Culture on Immunity from Seizure. She was named one of the Top 50 Women to Watch in the arts and is the author of Museum Collections Management (Facet, 2011) and Organizing Exhibitions (Facet, 2014).

Kick off public skating for the holiday season!
Minor hockey and figure skaters will have an opportunity to try out the new surface followed by an open-skate for the public with music from DJ Aurora, bonfires, and Lions Club Concession with hot dogs and hot chocolate.
The grand opening of the outdoor rink will kick off a holiday schedule of public skating that will be available daily, weather-permitting, from first daylight until 10 pm. Limited scheduled programming is slated to begin on the ice in early January. The rink is located next to the Fernie Aquatic Centre on Pine Avenue, close to Historic Downtown Fernie.
The NHL-size natural ice rink (200 by 85 feet) is being constructed on City land adjacent to the Fernie Aquatic Centre thanks to generous donations from the Calgary Flames Foundation, National Hockey League (NHL), Canadian Arena Products, the Fernie Lions Club and numerous community donors.
"The mandate of the Calgary Flames Foundation includes the goal to improve the quality of life for people in our community," "We hope this impact is made in Fernie and the outdoor rink becomes a second home to many residents. It has been inspiring to watch the community rally around this project."
~ Ken King, CEO and President of the Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation and the Calgary Flames Foundation.
"Seeing the effort of the community to come together over the past weeks to prep the site, erect the boards, make the ice, and add changing rooms, heated Zamboni storage, and get this ice ready in time for the holidays has been amazing. There has been tremendous support with over $200,000 donations in time, services, and materials from within the community and from outside donors that have made this possible and volunteers have stepped up and are ready to maintain the ice over the season."
~ Mayor Mary Giuliano

In praise of the 2016 Gramophone Award winners
Accolades come in many forms. We've just published our Awards issue, our annual celebration of the very best classical music recordings of the year and tribute to the extraordinary life-affirming music-making from the greatest artists in the world. It's stating the obvious that such achievements do not happen over-night, the result purely of artistic inspiration. For all the interpretative genius that elevates the technically brilliant to the summit of artistic excellence, all is nought without the decades of devoted, hard graft – technical exercises, forensic exploration of the music, experimentation, consolidation. As the old joke about how to get to Carnegie Hall goes: practice, practice, practice. But then, only then, is that visionary extra layer able to make all the difference.
As I write, I'm still feeling a glow of patriotic pride at the phenomenal success of our British athletes in the Olympics. Sport/music analogies are easily made, and it's possible to take them too far – for a start, winning isn't so absolute in art. We bestow Awards on our winners, which indeed have emerged from a rigorous voting process, but unlike in sport the status of the first across the line is more nuanced, the definitive and unanswerable cruelty of the clock does not apply, and anyway, we're rarely comparing like-for-like. Any recording which made it to the category shortlists, let alone found itself before the final Recording of the Year panel, is worthy of joining your collection.
But as we all marvel at the path of total dedication, invariably and necessarily one of sacrifice, of our Olympic victors, let us remember that for the soloists, singers and conductors here being honoured, that path has been no less one of single-minded pursuit, quite possibly one that started even earlier than that of a cyclist or swimmer.
Most insights into the lives of athletes – whether interviews, biographies or those moving displays of emotion on winning or losing – reveal that the will-to-win is only part of the story, just as a musician's technical prowess is only part of theirs. Endeavour exists within the context of a life – soul and spirituality are a crucial part of the mix. In a fascinating step, the Estonian Olympic Committee has recently appointed conductor Kristjan Järvi as the first non-sports person to become a member. Partly it's to explore the role music can play in inspiring people (I wonder what he'll have athletes listening to on their giant headphones when getting into the zone!). But it's also to bring to sport a fresh angle of understanding about how the physical and spiritual relate which, as we know, they so crucially do in music-making. As with athleticism, so with art: we are all complex and comprehensive beings, perhaps those able to attain the extraordinary levels required to win Gramophone Awards (or Olympic medals) more than most.
I do hope you enjoy our Award-winning recordings – gold medals to them all. And two new initiatives this year offer you an even closer ring-side seat: the entire Awards ceremony is available to stream on medici.tv - also available through our own website and classicfm.com – while a special CD featuring performances by all the Award-winners is available exclusively from Amazon.

Andrea Mara speaks to TV presenter Karen Koster about the importance of using sunscreen — for children and adults — from March or April when UVB rays appear.
BETWEEN applying sun cream to wriggling toddlers and realising there are no lie-ins, holidaying with small kids isn't always, well, a holiday.
TV presenter Karen Koster chatted to me recently about what works and what doesn't, and why she and her husband John Maguire feel holidays are worth the extra effort.
"John and I have always said, 'Yes, with kids, we know we're going to have to make compromises, but let's try to get a holiday if we can.'
"Everyone said to us to try to go away before Finn, my eldest, was mobile beca use it would be easier, so we went to Lanzarote when he was three months old. We were so buoyed with the success of that, we went away a couple of times after that as well."
Finn is now two, and the couple has a second child, one-year-old JJ. They've found holidaying with a toddler and a baby a little more difficult, but ultimately worth it.
"Last year we went away with both of them, and of course this time Finn was mobile, but JJ was great, he was still lying down.
"No matter how difficult the plane journey or how laborious it seems on paper, we've always tried to get away to have a good time as a family, and we've been lucky we've been able to do that."
I am reminded of my own first holiday with a baby, and the shock realisation that there would be no sleeping in, no sunbathing, and fewer nights out. I asked Karen if she had a similar experience?
"Yeah, there are no lie-ins — you're going 'Hang on a second, the kids are up at 6.30am.' And when you're in a little apartment, it's too small for even one person to have a lie-in while the other gets up. You're all on top of each other anyway.
"But what I did love was when Finn was young enough to sleep anywhere and he'd nap while we had lunch and wine. It's great when they're young enough to sleep in the buggy — you can stay out a bit later.
"Now we're more restricted because there's a set bedtime and we're always back at base by eight o'clock. But we're figuring it out as we go — like now we know we need a separate room in the hotel so we can watch a bit of TV or sit out on the balcony when the boys go to bed."
The other big challenge is the sun — much loved by most of us before we have kids, it becomes a double-edged sword when we become parents. Keeping kids safe from burning is paramount, but applying sun cream is no easy feat.
Karen, who recently launched La Roche Posay's Save Your Skin campaign in partnership with the Irish Cancer Society, says she's finding it somewhat more manageable than it used to be.
"It's easier now because I can bribe Finn — I can say: 'Let me put this sun cream on and then we can go to the playground'.
"I also find using one that you can put on wet skin is great — so when they get out of the pool you don't have to dry them off ."
She sees sun safety as critical and starts carrying sun cream in her bag from March or April onwards.
"I'm super vigilant — Finn is very fair, he's my strawberry blond, so I just don't let him get burnt. It's never happened, but even if I see him reddening at all, I'm straight out with the sun cream.
"There's nothing like the guilt you feel as a parent because, of course, it's totally on you if they get burnt. Even at this time of year, I'd always put a bit on their faces and I put a cap on JJ."
In fact, from April onwards, we should all be applying sunscreen — to ourselves and to our children — says Dr Niki Ralph, consultant dermatologist with La Roche Posay.
"In Ireland, we have UVB rays from about April to October — so we have UVB radiation now, even if it's cold. We don't need the high temperatures — it doesn't have to be 28 degrees, it's just about the time of year.
"Also, it comes through the clouds. So yes, I would recommend sunscreen at this time of year."
Babies are an exception to this advice because sunscreen is not licenced for children under six months, says Dr Ralph.
"You shouldn't be exposing them to sunlight at all — keep them in the shade. And for buggies, you can buy a UPF breathable cover that you drape over the child."
She also advises covering children well while they're in the water.
"I'd suggest the top-to-toe swimsuits and the hats that come down over the neck. After that, it's just their hands and feet that are exposed. And when they come out of the water, you do need to re-apply sunscreen."
Skin cancer remains the most common cancer in Ireland with approximately 10,000 cases diagnosed each year, so protecting ourselves and our children seems like a no-brainer, yet many of us don't think of it in what we see as the cool Irish climate.
"I always carry sun cream in my handbag now," says Karen.
"If I don't have sun cream on me, I'll borrow some from another mum at the playground — everyone's like 'Of course, of course!' — it's such a mum thing!"
How to keep your child safe in the sun:
Don't be fooled by our low temperatures in Ireland — it's not about heat, it's about time of year.
Don't put sun-screen on babies under six months of age — keep them in the shade or use a UPF breathable buggy cover.
Do apply sun-screen to your children every day from April to October.
Do use protection even when it's cloudy because the sun's harmful rays come through clouds.
Do put sun-screen in your changing bag or handbag so you have it with you at all times.
Do keep children covered up on holidays with top-to-toe swimsuits and hats that come down over their necks.
Do reapply sun-screen when children come out of the pool.
Do bear in mind the statistics — just five sunburns before the age of 20 can increase the risk of melanoma by up to 80% according to skincancer.org and there are around 10,000 cases of skin cancer diagnosed in Ireland each year.
Do follow the Irish Cancer Society Sun Smart Code: Seek shade between 11am and 3pm; cover up by wearing a hat, a shirt with a collar and long shorts, and put on sunscreen with SPF30 or higher.

Notes from the June 20, 2010 broadcast of Meet The Press
This was a very interesting and innovative edition of Meet The Press. I give the producers kudos for experimenting with the format… even if I don't think it worked out well in the end.
For recent decades, the first half of the show has centered on a discussion with one or more experts and/or political leaders. The second half has been a roundtable discussion featuring journalists, columnists, and other opinion-leaders. Today, the show went with a single panel for the full hour, mixing together the different types of guests, to discuss the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Governor Haley Barbour (R-MS) were reasonable choices to represent the political leadership involved with the BP disaster. They were very respectful of each other and tried to avoid politics to focus on solutions. Barbour even said the federal government has done more right than wrong in this crisis.
John Hofmeister, a former Shell Oil CEO, was also a very good guest giving good insight into what we should be expecting from BP and the rest of the industry going forward. But Ed Markey (D-MA) seemed like an odd choice for the panel. He threw off the show's partisan balance and did not seem to bring anything new about the current crisis (although he was very compelling on long term energy solutions).
The most informative guest was Kenneth Feinberg, the head of the new compensation fund for victims of the BP disaster. He was impressive and straight-forward. He may be a little intense, but he is very clear about his job and the reason for his job.
I am still confused about why the BBC's Katy Kay was included. She is very good and very well informed, but while the others were having a meaty discussion about long and short term solutions to the BP disaster, Kay's interventions were almost always about the political optics of the situation. I am sure that is what she was asked to contribute. But it seemed to bring the other conversation to a screeching halt at a few key moments.
In the end, I think the situation with Kay underscores why the old format is preferable. Barbour, Landrieu, and Hofmeister could have started the show with a quite significant and informative conversation about the current crisis and response. Then David Gregory could have done the interview with Feinberg (who clearly did not want to be part of a larger group discussion).
The second half of the show could have been an equally informative roundtable with the journalists and opinion-leaders. Katy Kay would have been part of this. Also useful would have been Eugene Robinson. Gregory quoted at length from a Robinson column, so why not have him on? (And it would have given some much needed diversity to Meet The Press.)
NBC News Correspondent Anne Thompson opened the show with a live report from Venice, LA. Why not have her on the roundtable? For that matter, other NBC and Weather Channel correspondents from across the region (like Kerry Sanders) could have been brought in to share what they know about the economic impact, the mood of residents, and local reactions to the president's speech.
All that said, Gregory was very much in control of today's show and asked mostly very good questions. But the revised format was a net negative on the program's ultimate impact.
Today's transcript will be here.

I started Forex trading in 2011 and have visited BabyPips on many occasions without joining the forum. When I started trading Forex I wanted to make a lot of money within the shortest possible time. I was over trading, taking too many trades per day. I was trading sizes as much as 10% of my trading account. I was chasing trades and I was rather impatient and impulsive; so I blew five real accounts within two years. Then I stopped trading Forex for a while until April 2015 when I started all over again and began with a different strategy. I started with some demo accounts and then in October 2015, I opened three real FX micro-accounts with three different brokers. I trade Forex part-time and my strategy is short-term swing trading, primarily on the 4-hour chart. I watch six currency pairs presently: AU, EJ, EU, GJ, GU, and UC. Now, rather than chasing the market, I watch, track, wait for, and trap the market. Lol
Hey Trap Good for you man, I know what it feels like to trade 10% and chase a trade. After a series of small loss i find myself thinking "boy if this trade works the profit would cover all those losses!?" LOL more like double those losses! I watch all those pairs as well, but i try not to take positions on EJ and GJ due to their correlations. I rarely trade EU as well due the fact that everyone and their grandmother has an opinion on EU and gives me too much conflicting noise. Anyways Best of luck on your return from the ashes.
Thanks for your welcome Chartz. I don't trade both EJ and EU at the same time neither do I trade GJ and GU at the same time. I trade whichever of the two in each case offers the best opportunity for trapping. Lol
As a swing trader, I spend much of the trading period I have to define market zones/conditions, watch the market, track the market, and wait for the right time to take the best trading opportunity. In fact, the waiting is far longer than the rest. Good trading to you all.
"In fact, the waiting is far longer than the rest."
– Amen to that! It took me quite a while to come to terms with the patience required to trade successfully.
I like what you write, TTM
Thanks for the encouragement AuthenticFx.
Forex trading should be a planned business in my opinion. It should be planned with a set of functional and efficient system and strategies.
Last week, I took much of my spare time to learn how to read and analyse market structure.
Rather than searching for the 'Holy Gray', learn a simple functional system and make yourself a master of it. Trade safe, trade well.
I am looking to short GU once price action rejects the daily pivot. Trade safe!
[B]Tip:[/B] Mastering one method at a time is key, mastering one signal for good results pays. Trade well.
I use S/R zones, pivots, Fib levels and EMAs to stalk the market. Trade safe
When a pair retraces to a confluence zone, say a weekly pivot which is also at a daily or 4-hrly s/r zone, I will be interested to a enter a trade.
Ahead of the Brexit referendum, my brokers have increased the margin requirements of some of the pairs I trade to between 200 and 400 per cent. As I have a number of of open positions, I will be closing a few of them this week and watch others between now and next week Wednesday. For me, it's better to stay on the side line until the dust clears over the Brexit 'conundrum'. Trade safe.
It is important to focus on building a solid foundation for a profitable trading edge. This is a reason why newbies should not focus on the money while starting off in Forex trading. Losses will come but learning from them and developing the psychological stamina to trade without fear or greed are basic for building profitable trading edge.
Trapping the market will require using both high time frames' S/R zones and your set-up time frame's S/R zones.
Always remember: The market is not about one day of trading. If you suffer a loss, don't lose your mind or do something stupid. If you win big, don't go overboard with joy and excitement. Stay calm, humble, focused and keep learning.
If you would trap the market, learn to wait. Never rush your trade, never chase the price. Trade safe.
Before I commit to any trade this week, I'll wait for a fill of the gaps created by Brexit last week Friday.
Ever wondered why some FX traders feel the need to always trade - even when their bodies are aching or they are endangering their health? Successful FX trading should give a good life balance but a somewhat endless trading regime/mode is, in my books, ultimately self-destructive.

As a property manager, my experience shows me that Pot often Leads to Problems. In the two evictions we have had to do so far this year– pot and other drugs were present. And, not a little bit of drugs. A lot of pot in one case and some pot and strong indications of meth in the other.
Is it also possible that normal people first have problems with their rental obligations and secondly, just happen to smoke pot and do drugs? Yes, perhaps. However, it is becoming increasingly clear, if there are heavy drugs involved it is highly likely there will be downstream problems.
Our laws in Colorado make certain types of pot use okay. XTROV's lease and drug free addendum, makes any kind of involvement with drugs – growing, manufacturing, using, selling, a Lease Breach.
It is so disheartening to find someone's home damaged by another who has demonstrated no regard for anyone else's property, time or money and who seems to care only about themselves and their drug habits.
Coloradoans are not getting what we expected when we voted in the legalization of pot. I hoped that it would cut out the black market and the criminal element and let "Uncle Harry" grow some pot in his backyard for his own use without facing Felony charges. It did not turn out that way. People now see so much "easy money" in selling pot, that a whole new host of problems have been created on top of the problems of the past.
Real estate is booming in Colorado's metro areas and legalized pot is one of the reasons. Growth is great, but what is the Pot Culture turning into? Crime, disregard and a lot of property damage are sadly a reality of legalized pot.
I still support the idea of "Uncle Harry" staying out of jail for growing a plant or two and allowing legal access to anyone for whom pot use truly eases the pain of injury or disease. It is not these types of people who cause the problems. The problems come from the people who have lost touch with what are basic standards for professional or personal courtesy to others due to drug use.
If you are a Tenant, ask your property manager about the drug rules in their leases. Make sure you are clear on what is okay and what is not. Owners are held accountable to provide clean and safe places for tenants' to call home. Tenants' in turn are accountable to maintain a property and pay for the privilege of occupancy, normal wear and tear allowed. It is a pretty simple exchange when all parties do their part.
Sadly, there are a lot of disconnects in the process. What you can count on, is that the property management team at XTROV works every day to make the rental process fair and safe for all our clients – tenants and property owners alike.

It was Thanksgiving 2015. The rolls were being rolled out and then, the phone rings. Betty, XTROV's Leasing Director, had just received The Call from one of our residents that a significant amount of water was coming in from the ceiling. This was in an upstairs unit so both that unit and the one below would soon be in serious trouble. The XTROV Team sprang into action. The picture below shows Art - maintenance manager, on the phone to both Betty at the scene and to our wonderful plumber, Brent from Corky's Plumbing, to give both sides the most current information. Both Betty and Mike had arrived on the scene in minutes and keeping cool heads figured out how to get the water shut off. Remember, this was Thanksgiving. We attribute the excellent response we receive in times of need, from people like Brent, from years of working together and the mutual respect earned. That is an invaluable intangible that XTROV is able to provide our clients. It turns out that the hot water boiler had malfunctioned. We were able to get the unit repaired enough to keep the units warm until a full repair could be completed on the next business day. The water damage was mitigated and both tenants, above and below, were able to stay in their units and enjoy the rest of their Holiday. What could have been a disaster was averted with relatively little damage. The owners of this unit were on vacation and would have had no way to deal with the situation long distance. This was not the first and it will not be the last Holiday where the XTROV Team will take care of owners and tenants, changing an emergency into a manageable event.

C-27 is the Real Estate Commission's (the real estate commission is part of DORA -CO Department of Regulatory Affairs) Position Statement regarding the requirements for all licensed property managers. To manage other people's properties - you MUST be a licensed Colorado real estate agent at a minimum. In XTROV's case, I am a REALTOR - which means I also belong to the local and national Boards of Realty. As an aside, if a non-licensed person is managing your property you and he/she could be in for some trouble from the Attorney General's office. At minimum a Cease and Desist letter would be issued and more seriously a law suit brought on by some disgruntled person could land you both in time consuming and costly legal actions that will more than likely not result in a happy outcome for those people involved in practicing real estate without a license.
If the Commission ever comes calling to your property manager's office, it is extremely important that the property manager 1) knows what the requirements are for licensed activity and 2) is abiding by them. This matters to you as the owner of rental property because if your property manager is shut down for a day or forever - what is going to happen to your rental in the meantime???
In addition to being part of the Boards of Realty, we are the only property management company in SW Colorado who belongs to NARPM - the National Association of Residentlal Property Managers. We belong in order to have access to the best education on property management that is available so that we can pass the benefit of what we learn along to our clients.
Last week, Katherine attended a continuing education course offered in Grand Junction on C-27. It is the ONLY approved continuing education course on Property Management and it is offered once a year. It was encouraging to know that XTROV is doing well in terms of compliance, but there is always room for improvement.
Based on what was learned, our lease has already been updated and our agreement with our owners will be updated next. In any profession, there is no way to know everything, but it is mandatory - at least in our minds, to upgrade our knowledge and our skills both through learning day to day by doing and as often as possible through formal education.
If you are not with XTROV property management, you might ask your property manager about C-27 and how they are insuring their compliance with the lengthly list of requirements contained therein.

Appliances are always a part of the day-to day-business in property management. Today, so far, we have had dealings with a refrigerator and a washing machine.
Which brings me to this Reason. We have to get the appliances serviced or repaired in a timely and cost effective manner. Over the years, we have built a great working relationship with the people who fix and provide appliances in our area at a relatively low cost. We know that when we call or show up with a washer in the back of the truck, they are going to do their very best to 1) help us quickly and 2) give us the best deal they can.
This is valuable to our landlords and to our tenants. We know who to call. They work with us to get the job done and often, they go out of their way to do something above and beyond - throwing in a cord here, knocking a few dollars of the price there, or finding a way to work a delivery into their already full schedule.
The washing machine issue was a bear. The machine was an odd sized, older front loader. It had been badly abused by a tenant prior to us managing the account. Togther with the vendor, we had gotten it up and running for several years before it finally quit for good. The vendor found another one that would fit the small space and had it ready for our team to pick up.
From there the kudos go to Art and Mike who then hauled the machine above Mancos, carried it up a skinny flight of stairs to put it in the upstairs closet that it would be calling home for the rest of its washing machine life.
Imagine you were the out of state owner getting a call from the tenant in the mountains by Mancos saying the washer would not work and that she wanted to wash her clothes NOW. That would be a pickle, unless of course, you had XTROV as your property managment problem solving company.

Do you have an on-site walk through with your property manager's representative with each tenant move in and move out at the property? If XTROV is your property manager, you will.
A qualified property management staff member - typically the Director of Leasing - walks through the property with the Tenant at move in time. We use our Move In Inventory and Condition Check List to note the status of the property. The Tenant is there and they sign off on the Check LIst. If there are any complaints or concerns - we find them out right then and there so they can be rectified in a timely manner. Staying on top of these thing tells the tenants that we care about them and the property and expect the same courtesy in return.
At move out, we reverse the process. Using the same sheet, we go through and note any conditions that would exceed normal wear and tear usage. It takes the debate out of deposit issues. It also speeds the return to "ready to rent" status as we know as soon as the property is vacant what work needs to be done. It makes the tenant feel comfortable that there will be no unexpected surprises.
Going to the property takes effort. We cover rentals from Dove Creek to Mancos. However, we have found it to be the best pro-active way to keep on top of the move in / out process and worth the effort involved.

We are the only property management company serving Montezuma and Dolores counties who employ a full-time TEAM of property management pros, in addition to the Broker/Property Manager. We don't think it is a job that should be handled by one full time person and subs who are called in for problems.
We have a full time Leasing Director and two, full-time Property Care Specialists - with years of specific property management and construction experience. Our work is done by people who are committed to the long term happiness of the tenant and landlord versus a handyman or tradesperson who is called now and then to solve a particular problem.
We do call in specialized trades people - namely plumbers and electricians when the problem requires a licensed person to do the work. However, we have been working with these folks for years. They know us and we know them. Even though they are not on the XTROV payroll, we still work as a Team due to the many jobs we have worked together.
The longer we manage a property, the more valuable our service becomes. Why you might ask? Because we get to know the property so well that we are able to solve the problems that much faster which saves the owner money and encourages the tenant to take good care of the rental - as they know that we will do the same.

There are many quantifiable reasons to choose XTROV property managment services.
It occurs to me that WE may know the reasons, but the marketplace may not. Therefore, it is our job to share some of the behind the scenes services, features, tasks and/or problems solved that we encounter and handle for our clients - both landlords and tenants, on a regular basis. They are not in any priority order. We write about them as they occur or as we have something in particular we would like to share.
We hope that the Reasons added together will help to paint the picture as to why we are the Best Choice for Property Management Services.
So, here is Reason # 1: We Have a Loaner Refrigerator.
Refrigerators go out at the most unexpected times - sometimes right before Thanksgiving!
They are a fairly costly item for a landlord to replace so it is never a fun day when one goes out. On the other side, tenants' food will be ruined if it is not able to stay refrigerated or frozen. Therefore, we own and deploy our loaner fridge in most instances when one goes out. The landlord incurs a reasonalbe fee for this service, It is well worth the cost to insure that the tenant is taken care of and there is adequate time to get the fridge repaired or replaced - as fast as possible, but with no real harm - other than inconvenience, done.
We have been known to transfer a tenant's food from the dead fridge to our Loaner since they were away at work. We have hauled this fridge on a Sunday. If you have not done it recently, it may be easy to forget that these things are HEAVY and require a special dolly and a big enough truck to carry it in - both of which we have. Not to mention the strong and able backs to get the job done.
Fridges can sometimes be repaired and sometimes not. When one goes out, we are researching the options right away to communicate our findings to the owner for the approval to the solution. A home can not be without a fridge, so replacement or repair is an ASAP requirement.
XTROV Property Management is prepared to deploy our Property Care Team with a solution already in place when we get the call - "the refrigerator stopped working and my ice cream is melting.....!"

1.8: it's the ratio of average personal income in the richest state to that in the poorest state in 2012.
The number may not be all that surprising, nor are the rankings of the states: Connecticut is richest, with an income of $59,000 per capita, followed by Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York; Mississippi is poorest, at $33,000. What is striking is a much older number: 5.1, the ratio in 1930.
This means that the disparity between the richest and poorest states has shrunk by almost two-thirds in 80 years. And actually, it happened much faster than that, thanks to an array of powerful social and economic trends.
Government spending in the Great Depression and World War II hastened the transfer of income from North to South. Growing prosperity, migration and mobility had the same effect. By 1976 the ratio of average income in richest and poorest states had declined to 1.7 (excluding the anomaly of Alaska, with its huge resources and tiny population in its early years of statehood), and it has held fairly steady since then.
Though the disparity has shrunk sharply, the rankings of rich and poor states have changed little. In 1929 the richest state was New York, at $16,000 per capita (in 2013 dollars), followed by Delaware and Connecticut. In last place was South Carolina, at $4,000, and Mississippi was next to last.
Yet while income inequality among states has been falling, the pattern among individuals and families tells a different story. The economists Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez report that in 1930, the top 1 percent of Americans received 17 percent of the nation's total income. Their share declined steadily until 1975 — to a mere 8 percent. But since then the number has been creeping back up, and it now stands again at 17 percent.
