A month or so ago, I was hired to photograph several people for a marketing publication. They were looking for lifestyle type portraits. So I shot most of them in natural light, often with a reflector or two. Warm, happy, and beautiful was my direction, and so I was looking for bright colorful backgrounds. When I arrived at this couples home, I went through the usual introductions and before long, I was taking the grand tour of their home. It's always funny to me that as a photographer, I can walk into a strangers home, look around in all of their rooms, and tell them what to wear. Years ago, this took a bit of getting used to, but now it feels somewhat normal.
There was not much in the house that lent itself to what I was looking for, so I decided we would head to a park. As we were leaving, I took notice of this room with the piano, the old lamp, and the bright sun streaming through the window. For a moment, I turned off the filter in my head that was only looking for commercial lifestyle type portraits. The muted colors and the overall feel of the shot that began forming in my head was not something that would interest my client, but I decided that it was worth exploring for myself.
This was a really fun lighting process, and there were some elements that I don't often get to work through. I know a lot of you are often curious, and email me about my lighting, so how about a lighting walk through. Take out a sheet of paper and a number 2 pencil. Here we go.
Direct sunlight was coming through a large window on the left side of the frame. You can see the bright spot on the floor pointing toward the piano. There were soft rolling shadows all over the wall and furniture from the sunlight bouncing off the white carpet and other light surfaces. It was beautiful light, but the range between the light on the floor and the shadows was too wide to capture with detail.
I took several frames with just natural light, to get a rough idea of what the shot could feel like. After I felt confident that something interesting could develop, I ran out to the car and brought in all of the lighting that I had with me. Three strobes in this case. I almost didn't even bring them because I didn't think I would be using lights that day. The first thing I did was get an exposure that had some detail in the sun spot on the floor. I wanted it to be bright, but not blown out. My goal was to mimic the natural light, but bring the range from highlight to shadow down to something that is within the camera's range of capturing. I shot at ISO 100, and the exposure was 1/125 at f/9.0.
Exposing for the brightest spot in this case made the rest of the frame very dark. The next step was to add in light and bring up the shadows. I like to add and work with one light at a time when I am building my lighting setups. I start with the brightest light source. The sun in this case, and work my way down to the fill lights. I feel like this gives me more control, and allows me to better see the results and consequences of each light that I am using.
Equipment: Before I get into how I used my equipment to create this shot, here is a list of the actual equipment I used along with links to the product pages.
Camera: Canon DSLR
Lights: Elinchrom Ranger Battery Pack and Head x2
Extra Elinchrom Ranger Free Lite A Flash Head
Light Modifiers: Photoflex Large Softbox
Wescott 45" Umbrella x2
The Key Light: I set up a large softbox on camera left, in front of the window. There was a lot of furniture and items in the room, and although I did rearrange quite a bit, I didn't want to make a complete mess of their home. There was not enough floor space to set up a stand where I wanted the key light, and even if there was, it would have cut into the frame of the shot. So I set up a C stand with a grip arm and mounted the softbox on the end of the arm. I swung this over the couch and up against the window so that it was angled down toward the floor and feathered away from the wall (pointing across the frame toward the right side of the room). The reason for feathering the softbox from the wall was because I wanted to create a darker shadow in the upper left corner of the frame. The more the softbox is pointed away from the wall, the larger and deeper the shadow in the left corner becomes. I also wanted the light to be a little more even across the frame, and feathering gave me more reach. You can see a slight shadow with a hard edge on the floor on the very far right at the base of the drawers. This shadow was from the softbox. If I had the softbox pointed directly toward the couple, the light would not have reached that far. And finally, let's not forget. It is kind of important to actually light the subjects with the key as well. So I made sure that the light was hitting them how I wanted. The head and softbox were actually a little too large for the C stand arm, so I did have to do a little work with some tape, clamps and an extra light stand to keep the softbox from pointing straight down. Clamps and tape are a must if you ask me. Now we have a floor highlight that is not blown out, and properly exposed people on the piano bench. But, the right side of the frame was still really dark.
Fill Light #1: The goal for the fill light was to control the shadows. I don't want this light to be even with the sun, or the key (softbox). What I want out of the fill is to bring up the dark shadows to a level that has detail, but still looks and feels like a shadow. I used a 45" umbrella with black backing that I bounced a strobe into. So the strobe is actually pointing away from the subject into the umbrella and bouncing the light back onto the frame. I experimented with a number of positions for the first fill light, but I ended up placing it about a foot or so behind me, and two or three feet to my right. The height of the strobe head was about a foot above the subjects head, and the umbrella was not angled much. The umbrella rod was about parallel with the ground. You can see the shadows created by this light on the ground behind one of the piano bench legs, and the right piano leg. There is also a very soft and subtle shadow on the wall to the left of the drawers. This tells you that the actual strobe head was just to the right of the edge of the drawer, but the umbrella just swept over the edge to create that soft shadow. If I would have moved the light further to the right, the shadow would have grown and become darker. If I would have moved the light more to the left, the shadow would have disappeared completely. I left the shadow in to create some depth on the right side of the frame.
Fill Light #2: I also set up a second umbrella for fill light. I placed this about 9 feet away from me on the right side of the frame, and used it to fill in the shadow on the wall to the right of the drawers.
And then it was time to start shooting. After a number of different poses, I decided on this one. I really like this shot. The man is a retired professor, and it turns out that he taught photography for a few years. This was many years ago, and the program eventually was shut down when funds became tight. But it was a lot of fun talking to him about cameras and equipment. It was also the first time I had a subject offer to set up and take down stands and actually know how to do it.
I hope you found this interesting, or helpful. Feel free to post any comments or questions. I will do my best to respond and answer any questions you may have.

For the first part - fair enough.
For the second part - what are they? I'm curious, particularly about why one violent revolution (on the Maidan) gets a free pass, while another (in Donetsk and Lugansk) does not.
Shikanosuke wrote:Not being justification for subsequent events, not being 'not justified'. I typically am able to admit when I'm wrong, hypocritical, or applying a double-standard. But I'm also not going to agree that situations are identical either. How do I expect you to react? Not like we're out hunting communists and you're in the line of fire.
Here's the thing. I do not expect anyone to be responsible for a crime, besides the one who actually carries it out. In hostage situations, we don't blame negotiators for hostage deaths, we blame the hostage-takers, yes?
So when the Ukrainian 'army' is shelling mostly civilian targets, that same army is to blame for any related deaths. I don't blame the Ukrainian 'army' for fighting back against armed protesters, but it seems ludicrous to blame armed protesters for civilian deaths which they are not responsible for.
If we are to take your standard that all 'subsequent events' are the responsibility for those who picked up guns in the first place, that the civilian deaths ought to have been foreseen by the protesters in Donetsk and Lugansk, I can see no reason why we shouldn't apply that same standard even more broadly. All of these deaths can therefore be laid at the feet of the Maidan protesters, who ought to have understood that violent confrontation was inevitable when they stormed government buildings, shot and immolated police, and drove out Yanukovych. No?
It just struck me as incredibly weird that you were sort of passing the buck to a certain point and no further. And then the entire language of 'justification', applied in such a broad and unqualified manner, was kind of off-putting. Like I said, I'm not a pacifist - I can see that there are situations where violence can be justifiable; it was wrong of me to come at you with that much suspicion and assumption of antagonism, and I'm sorry about that. I still want to know where you think the line can be drawn, though.
Shikanosuke wrote:I can't speak for all of the West and I have little control over Western media. I don't think I've been ambivalent about calling out Nazis in the new Ukrainian government. I don't think I've been ambivalent about my concern over them. I don't think I've been ambivalent about not wanting to go to war over this. I also think since the discussion began I've even agreed I'd rather see Ukraine serve as a (united) buffer state, part of neither Russia nor NATO.
That said, I think one can be all these things and still have concerns over Russia's actions and intentions. I think one can have those concerns and not be considering Russia is about to blitzkrieg across Europe, that they're evil, or that we need immediate lethal action?
All of which is reasonable enough. I don't want to get into another scuffle over this, so I'm not going to go picking through your prior posts; I'll take your word for it that this is an accurate representation of your views.
But I simply don't share your view of the released NATO photographs as signifying a concerted aggressive action on the part of Russia's government. (I can well believe, however, that there are Russian citizens, veterans and even local government officials who are abetting the funnelling of arms and logistical support into the hands of the Novorussians. But I think Putin, even if he wants to do it, understands that direct involvement would easily blow up in his face.)

The infrared LED is hooked up to digital pin 13
I have the regular LED attached to digital pin 12
int onVal = 0;int offVal = 0;// Take 10 samples with the light ON and OFFfor (i=0; i<10; i++) { digitalWrite(IRLED, HIGH); onVal += analogRead(IRTRANS); digitalWrite(IRLED, LOW); offVal += analogRead(IRTRANS); }if ((offVal - onVal) > THRESHOLD) // Value to be determined experimantally { // Light up the LED }else { // Turn off the LED }
What is pulse in and would that help me here?
OK thanks, new question though. I got it to work fairly well by pulsing the infrared LED, but only while everything is attached to the arduino. When I put everything on a breadboard for a standalone, it does not work the same, even though I have a 9v battery hooked up and a +5 voltage regulator??? Why would it not work the same? The only difference is the power? My only thought is that the arduino uses a 16 mhz crystal with 2 capacitors while the stand alone uses a 16 mhz resonator. Could that be it?
const int IRLED = 12;const int LED = 13;const int IRInput = A0;const int SampleSize = 10;const int CompareThreshold = 17;void setup(){ pinMode(13,OUTPUT); pinMode(12,OUTPUT); Serial.begin(9600);}void loop(){ int onVal = 0; int offVal = 0; // Take 10 samples with the light ON and OFF for (int i=0; i<SampleSize; i++) { digitalWrite(IRLED, HIGH); onVal += analogRead(IRInput); digitalWrite(IRLED, LOW); offVal += analogRead(IRInput); } Serial.print("average onVal="); Serial.print(onVal/SampleSize); Serial.print(", average offVal="); Serial.println(offVal/SampleSize); if ((offVal - onVal) > CompareThreshold) // Value to be determined experimantally { digitalWrite(LED,HIGH); } else { digitalWrite(LED,LOW); }}

Europe in Space
Space has a pivotal role in modern society and the European Space Agency (ESA) is at the forefront of the drive to explore and exploit this final frontier. The Agency's activities are transforming almost every aspect of our lives, from weather forecasting and personal communications to navigation, medicine and agriculture.
Our future depends on the careful management of our world's resources and understanding the interactions of our ecosphere. Such global problems require a global perspective – which only space can provide. Our knowledge of global warming, climate change and the state of the ozone layer is based on unique measurements from space. The weather satellites alone save hundreds of millions of Euros each year, and the rockets that put them there have paid back triple the investment. And looking outwards, astronomers are striving to discover how the Universe began and if there are worlds just like ours out there now.
ESA's programmes for Earth observation, launchers, science, applications and human spaceflight ideally place Europe to meet the technological, political and environmental challenges of the future. In the years to come, the Agency will concentrate its efforts on four main areas: the pursuit of scientific knowledge, enhancing the quality of life, collaboration with the European Union and national agencies, and promotion of European industry.
The diversity of ESA's Member States – Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and associate member Canada – is a source of vitality and versatility, with each country bringing its own scientific traditions, technological skills, political priorities and cultural style. Most also belong to the European Union, and, although the two bodies are independent, collaboration is increasing as they work together to create the most beneficial space policies for the citizens of Europe.
Jobs for Europe
Space is already an important part of the business world, and stimulates other, non-space, industries. Europe's space industries employ 40 000 people, with a further 250 000 working in associated areas. Each new satellite is but the tip of a pyramid, the creation of thousands of men and women from factories and laboratories across the continent. As a result of their skills and efforts, ESA has become one of the great success stories, a world leader in both science and technology.
Several thousand people are also directly employed by ESA at the Agency's various establishments and ground stations in Europe or further afield. Although officials at the Paris headquarters are responsible for overall strategy, finance and administration, ESA's largest establishment is the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) in The Netherlands, where teams of engineers and scientists oversee the development and testing of satellites.
Mission control for most ESA space projects is the European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) in Germany. Its experts track and command satellites via ground stations all over the world, including Sweden, Belgium, Spain, French Guiana and Australia. ESA's main centre for Earth observation is ESRIN, south of Rome. It manages Europe's largest archive of environmental data, coordinates more than 20 ground stations and facilities throughout Europe and cooperates with another 20 foreign ground station operators worldwide. The European Astronaut Centre in Cologne, Germany, provides training and medical support to ESA astronauts, both on the ground and during space missions. As a result of Europe's participation in the International Space Station, ESA's facilities have been opened up to astronauts from around the world.
The launch centre for European rockets and most ESA satellites is Kourou in French Guiana. Created and operated by the French space agency, the spaceport was vastly enlarged under ESA sponsorship for Ariane launches. Today, it is the most modern and efficient launch site in the world.
Eyes on Planet Earth
At the dawn of the 21st century, ESA has evolved into a world leader in almost every field of space endeavour. At the forefront is ESA's commitment to broadening our knowledge of the blue planet on which we all depend for our survival. Following the successes of its ERS satellites, which pioneered the civil use of cloud-piercing radar, the Agency recently launched Envisat, the most powerful remote sensing platform ever built. At the same time, ESA is developing smaller Earth observation satellites dedicated to specific environmental problems. Equipped with state-of-the-art instruments, these satellites will investigate particular areas of interest, such as ocean circulation and salinity, atmospheric motion, soil moisture and the thickness of Earth's ice cover.
At a time of apparent global warming, destruction of the ozone layer and rapid deforestation, broad-based observations of the atmosphere and surface are vital elements of any Earth observation effort. To this end, ESA is working with the European Union to develop a Global Monitoring for Environment and Security (GMES) programme, one aspect of which involves rapid delivery of space images and data to areas hit by man-made or natural disasters. In addition to real-time monitoring, prediction of floods and storms is essential if loss of life and property is to be minimised. For the past 25 years, the ESA-developed Meteosats have provided weather forecasters with continuous coverage of the effervescent atmosphere from the Atlantic to the Middle East. These eyes in the sky have recently been enhanced with the launch of a second-generation Meteosat, soon to be joined by Metop, Europe's first polar-orbiting meteorological satellite.
Guaranteed access to space for Europe
Many of ESA's satellites, including the Meteosats, are carried aloft by Europe's Ariane rockets, world leaders in performance and reliability. As the remarkably successful Ariane-4 launcher recently retired, a new-generation heavy-lift vehicle, the Ariane-5, has taken its place to maintain European domination of the commercial launch market.
The newcomer is also a key component of ESA's human spaceflight and space science programmes. Ariane-5 will be responsible for delivering Automated Transfer Vehicles (ATVs) to the International Space Station. Working as a supply ship, space propulsion module and refuse disposal vehicle, ATV will play a major role in supporting astronauts from around the globe as they spend many months aboard the giant station, including Europe's Columbus general-purpose laboratory module.
Meanwhile, Ariane-5 is being upgraded and modified so that it can launch two large satellites in tandem or send scientific spacecraft to the depths of the Solar System. The first payload to take advantage of this new capability was Rosetta, ESA's unique mission to orbit and land on a comet, launched on 2 March 2004. Rosetta is one cornerstone of an ambitious space science programme that will see European spacecraft explore the Moon and Earth's planetary neighbours in the next dozen years. One of the most exciting adventures is seeing Mars Express surveying the Red Planet for hidden water. Another planet scheduled for detailed examination is mysterious Mercury. ESA plans to send the BepiColombo mission in 2011-2012 to unveil the secrets of this little world, using solar electric propulsion technology being tested by SMART-1 during its 16-month trip to the Moon.
Cosmic insights
In order to explore further afield, ESA has developed some remarkable space observatories. From their orbital viewpoints above Earth's turbulent blanket of air, these satellites can observe the Universe at infrared, X-ray and gamma-ray wavelengths, as well as in visible light.
Having contributed hardware and expertise to the Hubble Space Telescope, ESA intends to continue its highly successful collaboration with NASA by participating in the even more powerful James Webb Space Telescope. Other world-beating space observatories in the pipeline 'for the next decade' include the Herschel infrared telescope to probe the origins of stars and galaxies; Planck, to study the faint radiation left over from the creation of the Universe; Gaia, to provide the most detailed, accurate map of our Milky Way galaxy; XEUS, to probe the cosmos before stars were born; and Darwin (2014), to search for planets circling other stars. And LISA (2013) will search for Einstein's elusive gravitational waves that may shed new light on the true nature of the Universe's structure and laws.
The true nature of the Sun
ESA is also at the forefront of an international effort to study the Sun and understand the interaction between our nearest star and our planet. While the SOHO satellite has been unravelling the nature of the Sun's nuclear powerhouse, a quartet of Cluster satellites has been providing the first three-dimensional view of how energetic solar particles affect near-Earth space. Next, Solar Orbiter (2013-2014) will be sent for the closest look ever at the Sun. Such research also has important, down-to-Earth applications since solar storms are potent threats to power grids, satellites and human space travellers. Even high-flying aircraft are vulnerable. One particular area of interest for ESA is the impact on the health of astronauts who spend many months aboard the International Space Station.
Europe and the ISS
European astronauts have already completed long-endurance missions on Russia's Mir space station and visited the ISS during its early construction. Human spaceflight will assume even more importance for Europe as the Station grows and evolves, particularly after the addition of the Columbus laboratory. As a major partner in the programme, ESA foresees a return on investment through breakthroughs in microgravity research, possibly including advanced materials and new insights into human health, disease prevention and treatment.
Efforts to commercialise the Space Station are just one aspect of a broader policy to open up space for the benefit of industry and society in general. ESA is working with the European Union to focus on practical and commercial benefits, such as improved communications and safer navigation.
Connecting the world
The growing desire to communicate at any time from any part of the globe is being accommodated by ESA's ARTES (Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems) programme – an effort to introduce high-speed internet, interactive TV and mobile communications to people throughout the world. One indirect benefit of this approach has been the success of European satellite manufacturers in winning contracts to build commercial communication satellites.
The latest ESA contribution to advanced satellite communications is Artemis, equipped with payloads to promote voice and data transmission between mobile terminals and to provide high-rate data links between orbiting satellites. One exciting outcome has been the first use of lasers to transmit information from one satellite to another.
Finding our way
Artemis may also become part of a new, independent, satellite navigation system. Being built by ESA and the European Union, the Galileo constellation of up to 30 satellites will provide pinpoint locational accuracy for all, including taxi drivers and itinerant business people, surveyors and airline pilots, delivery firms and emergency services. Demand for Galileo's uninterrupted signals is expected to create more than 100 000 jobs and generate some 90 billion Euros in revenue during its first 15 years of operation.
An eye to the future
The first three decades years of ESA's existence have seen a succession of exciting discoveries and inspirational breakthroughs. Today, the Agency's activities extend into almost every aspect of modern life. In the decades ahead, ESA will be presented with even more challenges and opportunities to enhance the lives of millions of citizens through the transformation of Europe's economic, scientific and technological capabilities.
We are still at the dawn of the Space Age and what we can achieve is limited only by our imagination.

Omaha's mayoral candidates speak in first forum
Omaha's mayoral candidates discussed how to make Omaha a better place to live during the candidate's first forum.
Five of the six people pursuing Omaha's top job talked crime, housing and city policy Monday night.
"You really can't govern effectively in conflict. You can only govern effectively by bringing people together. When you push them out to the sides, they become positional, and it becomes much more difficult to solve what goes on," said candidate Brad Ashford.
The candidates were critical of Omaha's current mayor, Jim Suttle, and the City Council.
"I don't know that violent crime looks much better than it did four years ago. I don't know that our police and fire pension contracts are any better than they were," said candidate Dan Welch.
"In the past three years, it seems like every financial crisis has been met with a new tax or a new fee, and people are saying we have to do better than that," said candidate Jean Stothert.
Suttle was quick to defend.
"We got our AAA bond rating back. We've been working with insolvency on fire and police pension. Services are being rendered the way the public has repeatedly asked for it," Suttle said.
Candidate Dave Nabity said it's time for the city to work better for the people who call it home.
"I also know what it's like to suffer under the regulations of a government run amuck and bureaucracies that so dominated those of you in business that you have a very difficult time doing the basics," Nabity said.
Candidate John Sciara, who is a local veteran, was not part of Monday's forum.
The primary election is April 2. The top two candidates advance to the city's general election May 14.

Nominee Predictions for the 2010 Academy Award for Best Picture
Buzz's Oscar Nominee Predictions: Best Picture
Buzz's Oscar Nominee Predictions: Best Picture
We're finally closing in on the big day: the announcement of nominees for this year's Oscars! It all goes down this Tuesday, and I've been counting down my picks for who might end up on the Academy's final ballot. A few of the contenders seem pretty obvious — James Cameron for a Best Director nod? Well, obviously! But now let's head into murkier territory with the Best Picture race. This category seems more up in the air than the others (pardon the pun), especially as this year marks the first time since 1943 that we'll have ten films facing off for the title. Here's who I'm thinking will (or should) make the cut.

McCartney Rocks Austin for the first time…
I have had the privilege to see Paul McCartney 3 times. So when my friend Jim, who lives in Austin, called to invite me to see Paul in Austin, I almost declined the offer. Boy am I glad I didn't. I witnessed history. Witnessing history is guaranteed when you go to a McCartney show. First of all, IT'S PAUL MCCARTNEY ON STAGE! Last time I checked he is a living legend. Second, he seems to always dust off a song or two that were never played live by the Beatles. Third: As many times as Paul McCartney has played in Texas, it was hard to believe when he announced from the stage at the Frank Erwin Center, that he had never played in Austin before. Paul was rewarded with a very enthusiastic crowd that was ready to rock, and Sir Paul and his powerful band delivered!
The ticket said it was an 8:00 pm start time and there was no opening band. We arrived around 7:40. A DJ started playing club mixes of Beatles songs at 8:00. At 8:30 the DJ left the stage and a pre-recorded soundtrack played while video screens displayed photos covering the entire life of Paul up to this moment. Paul and his band mates walked on stage proptly at 9:00 and launched into "8 Days a Week".
The show alternated between Beatles songs and Wings songs. A real highlight of the first half of the show was a powerful version of the Wings song "Let Me Roll It", followed up by a rocked up version of the Beatles song "Paperback Writer".
An amazing thing happened during the opening of "Maybe I'm Amazed": Paul forgot the opening cord sequence of the Piano intro. He handled it in fine form with his typical laid back demeanor on stage. He simply quipped "Well, at least you know we're live…" The crowd ate it up. He simply restarted the song and went on.
In the middle of the show the band left McCartney on stage alone. He walked to a smaller stage that then elevated him way above the floor of the arena. He performed "Black Bird" which he described as song of social protest that was designed to give hope to Black Americans that were being discriminated against during the 60's. He then performed a song he wrote for John Lennon called "Here Today". He described the song as a conversation between he and John that never happened but should have. It was a very emotional moment.
In the next section Paul made history when he played two songs that had never been played live in Texas. He performed "Lovely Rita Meter Maid" and "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite" from "Sargent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" It was awesome. The video screens showed old psychedelic videos from the 60's that the Beatles had made for "Yellow Submarine" and "Magical Mystery Tour". Very cool…
After "Mr. Kite", Paul paid tribute to George Harrison. He started playing "Something" on a Ukulele. Slowly the band joined in one by one, leading up to the big guitar solo in the bridge of the song. It was a very emotional and very fitting tribute to George.
This led to the closing sequence of songs that included "Let It Be" and "Hey Jude". I was trying to take a close up photo of Paul singing the line "The movement you need is on your shoulder…" during "Hey Jude". I was zoomed in on McCartney's face. He forgot the lyrics leading up to that line… I saw him "blah, blah," the words and then recover. Putting this with the "Maybe I'm Amazed" piano gaffe, I wonder if age is finally catching up to Paul McCartney?
Paul came back twice for encores and closed the show with an awesome sequence of songs: "Yesterday", "Helter Skelter" and the final songs of "Abbey Road" (Golden Slumbers, Carry that Weight, The End.) 2 and 1/2 hours of great music. The show ended at 11:30 and Paul had to come back and play the next night as well!
It is interesting that this tour is hitting smaller cities and not the usual big venues. Erwin Center only seats 12,000 for a show. So it may take some effort on your part to catch him this time around. But consider this: This might be the last time. Don't miss this chance to see him live. He and his band mates will ROCK YOU! Paul will not disappoint. And when you are standing with everyone else singing "Hey Jude" at the top of your lungs, you will know that there is so much more that unites us all than divides us. "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make…"

To extend one of these papers, I'd have to widen its scope. Instead of being a short paper that gives a concise argument for P, it would probably become a longer paper that gives arguments for P and Q with implications for R. Worse still, it could become a paper primarily about Q with a section addressing P. But I really think that P is important enough to have a paper written about it, even if I can make the point in 3,000 words!
But where can one submit a paper of this length, without having referees either reject it or insist that it should be resubmitted in a longer form?
Obviously Analysis, but hopefully there are other options. I searched the web for advice and turned up blog discussions from 2007 at Leiter Reports and at Thoughts, Arguments, and Rants. A few comments:
1. The discussion is a bit confused because the original question is posed about "discussion notes", which might mean either short articles or articles that are a direct response to just one other article. I have something in the works that's a discussion piece in the second sense, but it's comfortably long. The two short items are more general.
2. Brian Weatherson suggests that lots of short items should just appear as blog posts, especially if they are just one-off responses to an article or book. I totally agree. Just blog it and move on is good general advice for short items of the 'Some Philosopher Is Wrong' variety.
3. In addition to Analysis, people recommend Phil Quarterly and Dialectica. So there are some options, at least.
4. The commenters on both posts are enthusiastic about the idea that there should be a new journal aimed at short pieces, an on-line or even open-access affair after the fashion of Analysis. One commenter even says that there is something like that in the works but he's not at liberty to share. I suspect, since that was 2007, that it never came to be.
Do any of ya'll have better or more current advice? The three venues I listed above give me someplace to start, but perhaps the landscape has changed in the six years since those blog posts.

the lengths of things that I've written, the manuscript for the unstably named book on natural kinds is about 75K words. My dissertation was just 43K words.
[ add comment ] ( 3990 views ) | [ 0 trackbacks ] | permalink
Prior to the last year, I had never found myself in this situation. Then, last Fall, I found myself in the midst of writing a paper which was already 15K words even though I wasn't quite done with the introduction. I realized that I was not writing a paper at all, but a book. The problem was not making it short enough to hook a journal editor, but long enough to hook a publisher.
This musing prompted me to update my list of published articles by length. This is something I did back in 2007 and 2009. Without planning on it, it has become a biennial tradition.
Numbers are in thousands of words, given to two significant digits.
Italics indicate an item that's new since the last time I did this. Even ignoring the book, I do seem to be getting more verbose. This is underscored by looking ahead and including a paper which is under review: the longest article I've written by a fair margin.
An asterisk* indicates a co-authored article. (The long one at least has that excuse.)

UPDATE: After Matt's comment (below), I realized that I have already put the title on the web. It's listed as a paper under review on my CV. So there's no reason to be cagey about the title here.

Lisbon, Portugal, 9 July 2008 - His Highness the Aga Khan arrives in Lisbon tomorrow at the invitation of the Government. The Aga Khan is visiting the country as part of a series of visits around the world to mark his Golden Jubilee year – the 50th anniversary of his becoming the Imam (spiritual leader) of the Shia Ismaili Muslims – an ethnically diverse community whose members reside in more than 25 countries, including Portugal.
The Aga Khan will meet with the President of the Portuguese Republic, Professor Cavaco Silva, who will host a lunch in his honour.
The Aga Khan will also meet with the President of the National Assembly, Dr. Jaime Gama, the Prime Minister, Engº. José Socrates, the Foreign Affairs Minister, Dr. Luís Amado as well as the Minister of Justice, Dr. Alberto Costa.
His schedule also includes meetings with the United Nations High Representative for the Alliance of Civilizations, Dr. Jorge Sampaio – former President of the Portuguese Republic.
The Aga Khan will also attend a congregational event with members of the Ismaili community.
During the past 50 years, the Aga Khan has overseen the growth of one of the largest private development networks in the world. The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) is engaged in a wide range of activities in the fields of education, healthcare, rural development, cultural and economic development. These activities undertaken in some of the world's poorest regions are aimed at the common good for all citizens, regardless of their race, gender or religion. The work of the Aga Khan Development Network is well recognised internationally and is undertaken under the auspices of its nine agencies as well as in partnership with Governments and leading multilateral agencies.
In 2005, a protocol of cooperation was signed between the Ismaili Imamat and the Government of the Republic of Portugal. In the same year, the Aga Khan Foundation Portugal and the Patriarchate of Lisbon signed a Partnership Agreement that provides the framework for cooperation in an innovative urban community support programme designed to tackle social exclusion and urban poverty.
Agenda for the 10th of July 2008
12:00 Arrival at Figo Maduro Military Airbase
12:30 Meeting with the President of the Republic, followed by lunch at the Official Residence of the President of the Republic
17:00 Meeting with the High Representative of the UN for the Alliance of Civilizations
Notes: Golden Jubilee of His Highness the Aga Khan
His Highness the Aga Khan completed his 50th year as the 49th hereditary Imam of the Shia Ismaili Muslims on 11th July 2007, succeeding his grandfather, Sir Sultan Mahomed Shah. The Aga Khan leads a community of 15 million Ismaili Muslims living in some 25 countries around the world and is a direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family). In the Ismaili tradition, the Imam's Jubilee celebrations are a premise to launch new social, cultural and economic development projects. In keeping with the ethics of the faith, these projects aspire to improve the quality of life for the most vulnerable in society. During the Jubilee year, the Aga Khan is expected to travel to a number of countries to meet with members of the Ismaili community and to visit projects of the AKDN. He is also likely to announce the creation of new development institutions and projects and the significant expansion of existing ones.
The Aga Khan Development Network
His Highness the Aga Khan is founder and Chairman of the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN), a group of private, non-denominational development agencies working to empower communities and individuals and to improve living conditions and opportunities, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, Central and South Asia, and the Middle East. The Network's nine development agencies focus on social, cultural and economic development for all citizens, regardless of gender, origin or religion. The AKDN's underlying ethic is compassion for the vulnerable in society. Their annual budget for social development is in excess of US$ 300 million.

On the Big Screen: Surface Beats Retina
Both Apple and Microsoft made big product announcements within a few days of each other this month — Apple at its June 11 WWDC with the new MacBook Pro with Retina display, and Microsoft at its June 18 launch for the Surface tablet. There was big OS news, too, with iOS 6 and Windows Phone 8 — and with so much buzz in the air, it was hard to tell who was winning.
But one start-up, Taykey, was busy keeping score. It uses "patented technology" to analyze trends and conversations across social sources to help its advertising customers improve their campaigns, but in this case, it was just as useful as a judge in the Apple/Microsoft race. Not being privy to the company's trade secrets, I can't comment on the accuracy of the following infographic, but it's definitely interesting. Pretty, too:

Will We Have Free Worldwide Wireless Internet Access From Google?
"The last mile is the first mile of cost in Internet access. The barriers to connecting everyone to low-cost, high-speed bandwidth are many, and many people feel we are solving the problem with mobile data – connectivity via mobile phones.
But 3G or even 4G speeds pale in comparison to fiber and WiMax is in its infancy (and often expensive), which means 2G is what most of the world's population has for access via mobiles. EDGE is just not that edgy. In fact, all these systems pale in comparison to what could be coming: free worldwide bandwidth by Google." READ MORE

JOHANNESBURG – Boasting an enduring reputation as a crucible for change, Johannesburg will play host to the 2013 Talking Heads Live. The event enables the city's thought leaders, social disruptors and change makers to share with the public their big ideas and experiences on current issues facing their disciplines. Created to encourage the public to explore and develop new ways of seeing and understanding the world and themselves as Africans, the experience has fondly been dubbed 'a genius exercise in speed dating for the brain'. Unlike popular platforms like TED, which have taken the world by storm, this boutique event typically draws some 40 extraordinary speakers from the worlds of business, art and design; advocacy; philanthropy; technology; environmental sustainability and health to engage in multiple simultaneous conversations with an audience of just over 100 people. Confirmed speakers include: visionary social entrepreneur Yusuf Randera-Rees; Tutu fellow and mining consultant Mema Beye, ... read more

Bulletin H A S K I N S & SELLS 43 Our Uptown Practice Office THE firm announces that on April 13 the uptown practice office was removed from 37 West 39th Street to the New York Central Building at 75 East 45th Street, and is now known as the New York 45th Street office. The New York Central Building, rising to a height of thirty-five stories, is located in the heart of the Grand Central Zone. It spans Park Avenue and occupies the entire block between 45th and 46th Streets from Vanderbilt Avenue to Depew Place. Northbound and southbound traffic on Park Avenue passes directly through the building in ramps that rise from the street level at 46th Street and around the Grand Central Terminal on viaducts high enough to permit crosstown traffic on 42nd Street and 45th Street to pass underneath. Its accessibility to both the business and residential sections of the city and its proximity to railroads and rapid transit lines make it a very desirable location. Our office occupies the southeast corner of the 12th floor, with a floor space that admits of ample accommodations in the way of private offices, a large corner room for managers and supervisors, a large room with three smaller rooms for the use of the staff, a conference room, rooms for the office force, files, etc. New York G. P. A. Law ON April 9, 1929, Governor Roosevelt signed the new C. P. A. act governing the practice of accountancy in the State of New York. The text of the new law, having appeared in a number of other publications, is not reproduced here. The substantial changes in the law affect preliminary education, citizenship, certificates by indorsement, and the qualification of co-partnerships. The gist of these sections follows: After January 1, 1938, every candidate will be obliged to present evidence of having satisfactorily completed the course of study in a college or school of accountancy registered by the Department of Education of the state. Holders of certificates who are not citizens will be required to complete their citizenship within eight years from the date of declaring their intention; otherwise, the certificates will become void. In the discretion of the Department, upon recommendation of the Board and subject to the required academic and professional qualifications, holders of certificates issued by other states may have their certificates indorsed, such indorsement making the certificates equivalent to those issued by the State of New York. Co-partnerships registered by the Department may use the words "certified public accountants," provided each partner residing or engaged within the state is a certified public accountant of New York and any other partners resident or engaged within the United States are certified public accountants of one or more states. Thus, it appears that a certified public accountant of a state other than New York may be a member of a New York firm, and by indorsement of his certificate, may qualify to practice within the state as a member of a New York firm.

Mary Eleanor Donahue (born April 19, 1937), best known as Elinor Donahue, is an American actress. The naturally red-headed Donahue played Robert Young's eldest/popular daughter, Betty Anderson, on the 1950s sitcom, Father Knows Best. She was married for nearly 30 years to producer Harry Ackerman, whom she met on the set of that series. She and Harry Ackerman had three children together: Peter, James, and Christopher Ackerman.
Donahue was born in Tacoma, Washington, the daughter of Doris Genevieve (née Gelbaugh) and Thomas William Donahue. Her mother was a theatrical costumer, who moonlighted as a department store saleswoman in order to pay for her daughter's dancing lessons. Appearing in dancing-chorus film roles from the age of five, Donahue was at one point a ballet-school classmate of future Fred Astaire partner Barrie Chase. Donahue was a child actor working in vaudeville and had several bit parts in movies as a teenager, including Love is Better Than Ever (1952), starring Elizabeth Taylor.
She achieved stardom for her role as the elder daughter, Betty, on the television family series Father Knows Best. Her co-stars were Robert Young, Jane Wyatt, Billy Gray, and Lauren Chapin.

Early summer is often referred to as homebuying season. It is traditionally a time when more homes go on the market and more people are looking to buy a home. This means it can also be a competitive time to get the best price for sellers. But you have to be offering something that buyers want.
As the housing market's recovery continues, there are some trends in design for this year's high season.
1. Open
The biggest change in home design of the past quarter century is most likely the open concept kitchen. While traditionally the kitchen was hidden away and disconnected from the rest of the house, we now use kitchens as an opening to our living space.
The focus on entertaining guests may be a source for this trend as open spaces maximize the ability to gather and relax with friends and family even while still preparing refreshments. It looks like this idea is here to stay and the walls will continue to come down between rooms of different function.
2. Neutral
Neutral palettes are dominating in the home and replacing the use of bright colors. White, sandy and gray tones are popular among the main features while bold colors pop up in small details, like throw pillows, lighting or backsplash. Subtle glamour is also emphasized through small décor dazzling against the neutral background.
3. Universal
Spaces are currently being designed for aging consumers; more Americans want to age in place. Universal design elements like having the master bedroom on the first floor, low drawer appliances and showers that accommodate benches or bars are growing in popularity to accommodate people who anticipate having less mobility in the future.
4. Quartz
When it comes to kitchens and bathrooms, factory-engineered quartz is taking the market by storm. While granite was the most popular countertop material for more than a decade, it appears it is being replaced. With the same professional look and feel as granite, quartz resists cracking and chipping and is non-porous so it is easier to clean and rarely gets stains.
5. Green
Energy-efficient and water-saving appliances are now standard in new or renovated homes. Touchless faucets, smaller master bathtubs, high-efficiency light fixtures, toilets and dishwashers have become preferred options as energy and financial savings can be significant. These are not only green options, but savings that homeowners can clearly see in their bills.
Anticipating the trends will help you get the most money for your home sale and help position your property in the best light to attract a seller.

COMMERCE – Central Basin Water District Directors Monday essentially refused to make a $16,000 payment to a woman injured in a car accident caused by director Art Chacon.
The 2-2 vote, taken during the Board's regulary scheduled meeting Monday, means that Chacon will be liable for damages the woman suffered in the multi-car accident.
Several action items will be heard by the board durign the course of Mondays meeting.
Chacon, a board member has been driving without a driver's license but collecting mileage reimbursement and car allowance from the district.
The board will later consider whether or not to continue paying those expenses.

Conservatives generally believe that capitalism is a machine that cures itself. Therefore, people on the right have been slow to recognize the deep structural problems that are making life harder in the new economy — that are leading to stagnant social mobility, widening inequality and pervasive insecurity.
But some conservatives have begun to face these issues head on. These reform conservatives have now published a policy-laden manifesto called "Room to Grow," which is the most coherent and compelling policy agenda the American right has produced this century.
In the first essay of the book, Peter Wehner moves beyond the ruinous Republican view that the country is divided between hearty entrepreneurs and parasitic "takers." Like most reform conservatives, he shifts attention sympathetically to the struggling working and middle classes. He grapples with the fact, uncomfortable for conservatives, that the odds of escaping poverty are about half as high in the United States as in more mobile countries like Denmark.
Yuval Levin argues that conservatives have tacitly accepted the 20th-century welfare state; they just want less of it. To respond to the economy's structural woes, he continues, conservatives will have to change not only the size of the government but its nature.
"The left's ideal approach," Levin writes, "is to put enormous faith in the knowledge of experts in the center and empower them to address the problem." The right's ideal approach, he continues, "is to put some modest faith in the knowledge of the people on the ground and empower them to try ways of addressing the problem incrementally."
Liberals emphasize individuals and the state, Levin argues. Conservatives should funnel resources to nurture the civic institutions in between. They should set up decentralized initiatives that rely on local knowledge and allow for a more dynamic process of experimentation.
The next 10 chapters contain a slew of proposals to decentralize the welfare state. Several writers support much larger family tax credits to empower families. James C. Capretta writes that households without access to employee health plans could be given a tax credit comparable in size to the tax subsidy given to families with these plans.
Frederick M. Hess suggests that parents should be given, "course choice," the chance to not only choose their children's school but to use a fraction of school funding to purchase access to specialized programs, in, say, math or science. Scott Winship mentions the universal credit, which consolidates a variety of antipoverty programs and distributes benefits to families as a single amount.
Under these and other proposals, the government would address middle-class economic security by devolving power down to households and local governments. This is both to the left of the current Tea Party agenda (more public activism) and also to the right (more fundamental reform). The agenda is a great start but underestimates a few realities. First, the authors underestimate the consequences of declining social capital.
Today, millions of Americans are behaving in ways that make no economic sense: dropping out of school, having children out of wedlock. They do so because the social guardrails that used to guide behavior have dissolved. Giving people in these circumstances tax credits is not going to lead to long-term thinking. Putting more risk into vulnerable people's lives may not make them happier.
The nanny state may have drained civil society, but simply removing the nanny state will not restore it. There have to be programs that encourage local paternalism: early education programs with wraparound services to reinforce parenting skills, social entrepreneurship funds to reweave community, paternalistic welfare rules to encourage work.
Second, conservatives should not be naïve about sin. We are moving from a world dominated by big cross-class organizations, like public bureaucracies, corporations and unions, toward a world dominated by clusters of networked power. These clusters — Wall Street, Washington, big agriculture, big energy, big universities — are dominated by interlocking elites who create self-serving arrangements for themselves. Society is split between those bred into these networks and those who are not. Moreover, the U.S. economy is increasingly competing against autocratic economies, which play by their own self-serving rules.
Sometimes government is going to have to be active to disrupt local oligarchies and global autocracies by fomenting creative destruction — by insisting on dynamic immigration policies, by pumping money into research, by creating urban environments that nurture innovation, by spending money to give those outside the clusters new paths to rise.
I'd say the reform conservatives are still a little too Jeffersonian. They have a bit too much faith in the magic of decentralization. Some decentralized reforms do nurture personal responsibility and community flourishing. But as Alexander Hamilton (and Margaret Thatcher) understood, sometimes decentralization needs to be complemented with energetic national policies, to disrupt local oligarchies, self-serving arrangements and gradual national decline.

Ford has announced the launch of a new Sync system feature called AppLink, that will allow drivers voice control over smartphone apps in their car. To help debut the app, Ford has partnered with Pandora, Stitcher "smart" radio, and Twitter client OpenBeak. Ford will also begin to work directly with application developers to make sure upcoming apps are able to work with Sync.
The Sync system will feature both voice-activated controls, as well as a set of controls mounted on the steering wheel, presumably in case the background noise overpowers the voice commands. Users will be able to turn on their Pandora apps and control the station, rate the music, and switch channels without connecting their phone to the car.
And while the big news is Pandora, and all the Internet-music-hungry fans that the 22 million-strong service has, the possibilities of integrating smartphones into an existing onboard car's system should have app developers drooling over the possibilities.
The AppLink is currently designed to work specifically with Android and BlackBerry smartphones. No word yet on the possible integration of the iPhone. Check out the video below for a demo of the system.

Wednesday Podcast: 'Turning a Corner on the War Metaphor'
Since President Bush's "War on Terror" began in 2001, the use of a war metaphor has come with assertions of broader powers by the president. But the U.S. may be turning a corner on how terms like "war" are used, says Cato scholar David Rittgers.
In Wednesday's Cato Daily Podcast, Rittgers argues that President Obama's choice to do away with the war metaphor is a step in the right direction.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Teenagers Were Among Around 19 Victims of Abuse at Monroeville KFC, Agency Charged
MOBILE, Ala. — The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced today that Jack Marshall Foods, Inc., doing business as Kentucky Fried Chicken, Inc., a Tuscaloosa, Ala.-based company, will pay a group of about 19 female employees, including at least three who were teenagers at the time they were employed there, $1,052,000 and furnish significant remedial relief to settle a lawsuit brought by the federal agency charging sexual harassment.
In its lawsuit, filed on March 25, 2009 (Case No. 1:09-cv-0160-WS-N), the EEOC asserted that Jack Marshall Foods knew about and tolerated a work environment permeated by sexual harassment at its Monroeville, Ala., store.
According to the EEOC, the hostile work environment included male employees openly describing and articulating their sexual desires and interests with female employees; engaging in unwelcome sexual conduct, including sexual touching, groping, gestures and demonstrations; and openly discussing their genitals and the physical characteristics of the female victims.
"Sexual harassment at any workplace is unacceptable," said EEOC Chair Jacqueline A. Berrien. "But when some of the victims are teenagers, as was the case here, the situation is especially egregious. Very young workers can be particularly vulnerable to this sort of abuse, and the EEOC will continue to fight vigorously to protect their right to be free from sex-based discrimination."
Under the publicly filed consent decree, Jack Marshall Foods is required, in addition to providing monetary relief, to give training to its employees; post a notice of the settlement at the Monroeville store; maintain records of discrimination complaints; and report such complaints to the EEOC, together with any actions taken in response, for two and one half years.
"The allegations in this case were shocking," said EEOC District Director Delner Franklin-Thomas. "Employers must act promptly and take appropriate corrective action once they receive notice of inappropriate sex-based behavior in the workplace."
The government's litigation effort was led by EEOC Trial Attorney Maricia Woodham under the supervision of EEOC Birmingham Supervisory Trial Attorney Julie Bean.
"A work environment permeated with sexual comments and conduct makes it nearly impossible for women to work every day," said EEOC Trial Attorney Maricia Woodham.
C. Emanuel Smith, regional attorney for the EEOC's Birmingham District Office added, "We are pleased that Jack Marshall is dramatically improving its internal complaint procedure. The Commission is particularly sensitive to allegations that teenage employees are being victimized in the workplace. Strong policies, certain enforcement and thorough training are the best guards against workplace harassment."
The plaintiff-intervenors were represented by Birmingham law firm Wiggins, Childs, Quinn and Pantazis, P.C. and Sherrie McKenzie of Monroeville, Ala.
The EEOC's Birmingham District Office is responsible for processing charges of discrimination, administrative enforcement and the conduct of agency litigation in Alabama, Mississippi and Northern Florida, with Area Offices in Jackson, Miss., and Mobile, Ala.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the agency is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.
