An $11 billion merger of American Airlines and US Airways (NYSE:LCC) that would create the world's largest carrier could weaken operations at certain airports, Fitch Ratings argued in a report released Wednesday.
Continue Reading Below
The forecast comes as the two carriers finalize discussions in a deal that is expected to help American Airlines' parent AMR emerge from bankruptcy.
The companies reached a tentative merger agreement on Wednesday, with AMR's board expected to vote late in the afternoon followed by US Airways, according to a Bloomberg report. A deal could be announced as early as Thursday, the sources said.
An American and US Airways merger would mark the industry's fourth major consolidation in the U.S. over the past five years and would dethrone United Continental (NYSE:UAL) as the sector's No. 1 carrier.
While consolidation is largely looked at as a plus for the industry, Fitch argues it is both good and bad for airports, weakening some hubs while strengthening others.
"The central risk for the incumbent American hubs would be a major loss in connecting traffic, exacerbating the debt burden, and airline cost profile," Fitch said.
For the less-traveled hubs, mergers of this scale might mean less traffic, hurting the airport's revenue stream.
If the American deal closes, for example, the combined airline would likely adopt six hubs: Dallas-Fort Worth, Miami, Chicago, Philadelphia, Charlotte and Phoenix, while maintaining a sizeable presence in major markets like New York and Los Angeles. As a single company, though, one could argue that six hubs running at the same level of operation is excessive for a single network.
In an industry where costs have become paramount, some of those less profitable hubs may be cut out if they begin to impact efficiency. Regional carriers are also put at risk, particularly if there is an overlap of destinations across the two merging carriers, Fitch said.
Airlines in the past have either pared down or eliminated large-scale hubbing services at smaller markets like Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Memphis. So Fitch's argument is that it's reasonable to assume additional operational shifts over time.
However, Bob Herbst, an independent airline analyst and founder of AmericanFinancials.com, believes the bleak outlook is overly pessimistic, as there's less than a 1% direct overlap between the two carriers.
"They can't really cut back anywhere," he said, especially if they want to maintain the same level of capacity.
Take Philadelphia as an example, which Fitch argues could be impacted should an American and US Airways merger go through. Philadelphia, while located in between the popular New York City and Washington D.C. hubs, is a key spot for international travel. Trans-Atlantic flights are lucrative for airlines, so in Herbst's view, why would the combined airline want to give up high-yielding slots?
"I disagree with people saying American is going to pull out of a bunch of cities and pull back, especially in their focus cities and cornerstone cities," Herbst told FOX Business in 2011 following a Fitch downgrade of three U.S. hubs. American is "going to go out there to be competitive, their costs are going to go way down."
AMR filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November 2011. In December of that year, Fitch downgraded to "negative" three U.S. airports that have a significant American presence: Dallas Fort-Worth International Airport, Miami and Chicago's O'Hare.
At the time, its reasoning was a potential loss of traffic as American began shedding assets under a court-supervised overhaul. Similarly, it argues a reduced or loss of hubbing services under a US Airways merger would affect those airports' terminal space rentals and ancillary services.
"All three American hub airports have in place or will be facing high leverage metrics driven by capital programs," Fitch said.
Miami, however, was returned to a "stable" outlook by Fitch in October, as a terminal-upgrade capital program there helped improve the level of service. Traffic in Miami also improved as carriers used it as a gateway to Latin America.
Fitch on Wednesday called Miami a "solid franchise" and said its operational performance will likely remain intact even if America's operations contract in event of a US Airways merger.
It didn't have as positive an outlook for Dallas-Forth Worth and Chicago.

I became a fan of this girl after she was shown...sadly, this is the one and only time she'll probably ever be shown. No name given or much screen time, but I'm a fan. Just thought that she was cute and loved her speaking voice. <3 <3
just the way I am, every anime I have watched, i've never been a fan of main characters. Never once did I like Alicia or Welkin, the main characters when I played the game. Game was interesting, you could choose your favorite side character over and over again.
my interest is in side characters or others who don't get much spot light. However brief, If I see them and I like em, I'll be their fan.

o_O That's odd. Does it have to be human or alive? What if it was a nice rug that didn't get much screen time? Ahh the way it sounds when soldiers rubbed the bottom of their feet against it.

Ahhh, gave this episode a 6/10 for... my own personal reasons. Not that I hated it; in fact, I thought this was going to be one of the best series I was ever going to watch... at the start. Somehow, things started veering off a bit from what I expected.
My really short view on this Episode:
-Okay, so the whole orphanage thing was kinda new to me, no comment on that(?). Still, it's great to have a little information on Alicia's past =D
-Of course, like the previous point, Alicia's character really needs to be explored a bit more.
-Hunh. Welkin's starting to creep me out a little, what, with random fights occuring between him and Faldio, his behaviour around his teammates changing drastically from before, etc. And this wasn't noted just in this episode, but in other episodes back too.
-Now I'm really starting to hate the Squad members even more... since when was discrimination against races/different types of people a "whole-series cast" thing? Damon is contagious...
-"Desperate times calls for desperate measures" really shows and applies itself throughout episode 22, doesn't it? With Faldio's attempt of "waking the Valkyrur's powers" and of course, the Ramal flashback, he really asked for it! Straining the bond of friendship seems to be the main thing of the show now O.O
-We're being shown lesser and lesser of Welkin's absurdly intelligent mind... c'mon, needs more ingenious brainpower! xD
To conclude, this episode was... not what I'd expected it to be. Yeah, totally unexpected. Then again, it could turn into something better in the next episode, so I guess I'll be looking forward to that. More strategy-based fighting/war scenes would be nice and appropriate, now that they've got a Valkyrur in their midst (Let's just hope they don't blast through the series with sheer Valkyrur powers).

Infact it made be feel so pissed to watch squad 7 top accuse Alicia as being a monster even after fighting as a unit for so long and eating her bread. Apart from Welken, Largo, Rose and Zaka, the rest of them are dam useless. In ww2, didnt squads protect each other like brothers/sisters, as that famous TV series was called Band of Brothers ?. Thats why I always knew that squad 1 was indeed superior as warriors like Feldio said earlier in the episodes. They only drag Welkin and his squad down.
I say keep Welkin, Alicia, Largo, Rose, Zaka and maybe that guy with the glasses who are the only ones who can really fight. The rest of the squad are just show ponies.
This by far is the worst episode I have seen for this reason. Alicia isnt a monster, shes more there guardian/champion now. It should be more of a blessing!, like "oh my god!! We have a Valkyria in our squad! Awesome sauce!"
I was also hoping to see Welkin use Zakas skillz when the episode began after there conversation. Zaka is special forces material, even if he only got into the squad by filling the vacent roll of engineer and tank driver. But Alicia came to them, so I guess that operation wasnt needed.
And for General Damon, he really is a gutless prick with an ego or self pride. But people like him are common. I hope he has an "accident" for the sake of Gallias reputation as a military.
oh! and Alicia drama+++++ <.<
Was hoping the series would end with Welkin in glorious battles with a bit of pew pew ! but guess not I suppose :/

Shay Shares Her Experience of Running the 'Run or Dye' 5K
You heard me talking about the fact that I had entered the 'Run or Dye' event that was held this past weekend here in Abilene. Well, I'm happy to say I completed the event, my first ever, 5k in about 45 minutes. This was the most fun I've had getting dirty...ever!
I actually walked the 5k, but I did 'jog' across the finish line! I had my boyfriend, Martin and his son, Jace along with 2 of my best friends from high school, Traci and Tiffany, that did the event with me. We all had a blast getting dirty. About every mile and a half there were zones where people would throw powdered dye all over you. Then at the end of the race you stopped at the 'Dye Zone' and there was a party with music, giveaways and of course, more dye being thrown in celebration.
There were folks from all over the Big Country and of all ages that participated in Abilene's first ever 'Run or Dye' event. I met a group, while waiting for our wave of the race to start, that were from Snyder and Rotan and had brought their kids. The cutest little girls ever. Avery Gonzalez from Rotan and Whitney Lambaren from Snyder. I later found Whitney about halfway through the race and she said she was having a lot of fun. You will see them in the photos below.
The event was very well organized, and from my point of view, ran super smooth. I was highly impressed with the 'Run or Dye' organization and the crowd that participated. That crowd being almost 6,000 people. The run was also a benefit and this year's chosen recipient was Big Brothers Big Sisters of Abilene. They received almost $13, 500 from the event.
After speaking with Michelle from BBBS that money is enough to remove 18 kids from their waiting list. There are currently 239 kids on the list waiting for 'Bigs'. If you would like to become a 'Big' or you know a 'little' that needs a mentor you can contact the local BBBS organization at 547 Chestnut Street or call (325) 674-3113.
For more 'Run or Dye' 5k events check their website for upcoming dates.
Here are a few photos that I took during the event.

Basic figures at my Wal-Mart just went back down to $4.77. Hopefully it is a sign of good things to come.
I don't shop at WM if I can help it, but hopefully this means Target and TRU will drop theirs back to $4.99--or more likely, refrain from raising them to $6.99. Even holding at $5.99 would still be a good thing.

The Grade 8 students sit there, rapt, as Gershon Willinger describes his improbable survival as a Jewish child born in Holland during World War II.
"We talk about resistance fighters. To me, the resistance fighters are also the parents who selflessly placed their children in care of other people, not knowing if they will see those children again… Just put yourself in the place of parents who were expecting the worst, but hoping at least their children would survive. Think about your parents doing that. It's almost impossible to imagine."
For 40 minutes, the students are forced to imagine the unimaginable, as Willinger describes how, as a five-month-old infant, he was hidden by a Christian family, and then, as a toddler, was deported to the concentration camps of Bergen-Belsen and Theresienstadt after an informer revealed his true identity.
His very first memory is of liberation, he tells the youngsters, when Russian soldiers came to the camp and gave him candy.
Willinger has no memory of his parents, who were murdered in Sobibor. He spent the postwar years shuffled from foster families to orphanages, until he was placed with a childless Jewish couple who, like him, were broken and scarred by the war.
After his speech Toronto's Sarah and Chaim Neuberger Holocaust Education Centre, the students' questions reflect their struggle to comprehend the depth of Willinger's experiences. "Do you hate the Dutch for destroying your childhood?" "Do you hate the Germans?" And most telling, "Why do you want to talk to us about your experiences?"
"I never thought I had a right to talk, because I was so young. I was a survivor who didn't know very much. Once I started talking about it, I felt I had something to contribute," he answers.
That contribution is becoming increasingly rare, as eyewitnesses to the most traumatic events of the last century grow older.
Of the 40,000 Jewish Holocaust survivors who came to Canada after the war, between 12,000 and 15,000 are still alive, says Carson Phillips, assistant director of the Holocaust centre.
Those who are still able to do so speak with schoolchildren, go on pilgrimages to eastern Europe and write their memoirs. As the malevolent chorus of Holocaust denial grows louder, the survivors feel an increasing urgency to bear witness to the horrors they endured.
For Willinger, a retired social worker, even the Nazis' meticulous paperwork documenting his place in the last deportation from Westerbork camp in Holland and his parents' murder in Sobibor is precious, because it can be used to confront Holocaust deniers.
"These children are very privileged," to have heard about the Holocaust first hand, Willinger says about the students he has just spoken to.
But everyone is well aware that these students are the last generation who will have that privilege.
Eli Rubinstein, national director of March of the Living Canada, has 20 survivors accompanying 800 high school students from across Canada this year on the arduous journey to Poland and then Israel. "Many of our survivors have passed away. We have a decade left of people who remember their stories. It's a very sad topic to talk about."
Their loss is immeasurable, Rubinstein says.
"Nothing is going to replace a survivor telling his or her story in a barracks in Auschwitz, saying, 'This is the last time I saw my mother.'"
Surveys of March participants show that the most powerful impact on teenagers is their relationship with the survivor who accompanies their bus and acts as a guide.
The March of the Living has been recording survivors' testimony for years. This year, they will travel with a survivor and record the reunion when he visits the family who saved him.
"We're going to film that. It won't have the same impact [as being there], but it will be pretty powerful," Rubinstein says.
Eyewitness testimony has played a central role in Holocaust education, says Adara Goldberg, education director of the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre. The challenge now is to transition to telling their story without them.
For a recent exhibit called Enemy Aliens about Jewish refugees interned in Canada during the war, a curator recorded internees' experiences, and those voices were the first ones visitors heard upon entering the exhibit. Three of those interviewed died before the exhibition opened, Goldberg says.
The centre, like others across the country, is consulting with survivors on the best ways to use videotaped testimony. "We don't want to exploit the voices [of survivors]. We want to make sure there is some pedagogical value in what we do."
One approach the Vancouver centre is exploring is to let its extensive collection of artifacts speak for themselves. A tiny recipe book, compiled secretly in a concentration camp, is among the items in their collection. The Jewish woman who created it has died, but the nephew she raised as her own child can speak about the book and the woman who risked her life to write it, Goldberg says.
At Toronto's Holocaust centre, staff are using the 50,000 testimonies, some of them Canadian, recorded by the U.S-based Shoah Foundation. For the generation of digital natives at home with technology, "that's an automatic point of access," Phillips says.
The Toronto centre, aided by a grant from Citizenship and Immigration Canada, has begun organizing some of the testimonies into short, searchable sections, and presenting workshops to adult immigrants learning English. Few of the newcomers had much knowledge about Jews or the Holocaust, but they could relate to the stories of persecution and starting over in a new land, and understand what the survivors contributed to Canadian society. "For many of the… students, this was very inspirational," Phillips says.
Educators are wrestling with how to convey the emotional impact of the Holocaust, that moment students instinctively grasp when they hear Gershon Willinger's profound sadness and his pride when he shows them pictures of his children and grandchildren.
"The Holocaust can never become the study of facts and figures. It needs to remain something that's relevant to our students' lives," says Daniel Held, executive director of Toronto's Henry and Julia Koschitzky Centre for Jewish Education.
Increasingly, he says, schools are turning to Holocaust novels and memoirs to give students multiple perspectives of the war.
But students need to go beyond reading and listening to "snippets of testimony," Held says. "We need to look at the totality of their life, before and after the war. If we only look at a narrow slice of someone's experience, it's not the totality of who they were."
In Atlantic Canada, where few survivors settled to begin with, it has become increasingly difficult for survivors from Toronto and Montreal to travel to smaller communities for commemoration and educational programs such as for Yom Hashoah, says Jon Goldberg, executive director of the Atlantic Jewish Council.
This year, the council has commissioned a play about the St. Louis, the ship carrying Jewish refugees who were denied permission to land in Canada in 1939. A travelling exhibit about the ship has been shown in smaller museums throughout the region as well.
Paradoxically, as the ranks of the survivor community dwindle, attendance at Yom Hashoah ceremonies and Holocaust Education Week is increasing, says Mira Goldfarb, executive director of Toronto's Holocaust centre.
There's a "recognition of this being an important moment in time, when we're on the precipice of losing survivors and we've engaged young people in the process of commemoration itself."
Toronto and other communities now include youth choirs and young people speaking and reading, as well as recognition of survivors and their rescuers.
"Nothing can replace the voice and presence of a survivor, nor should it. The challenge is to honour them with integrity and vigilance, and that's best done through education," Goldfarb says.
The city's Holocaust Education Week attracts 35,000 participants, and programs take place in churches and mosques as well as Jewish institutions.
Ultimately, both Jews and non-Jews will continue to commemorate Yom Hashoah, "not only as a Jewish imperative but as a civic one, and that's why Holocaust education is key," she says.
Another approach to the void being left as survivors die is to embed Holocaust remembrance firmly into Jewish ritual and the Jewish calendar.
While Yom Hashoah ceremonies tend to be communal and secular in tone, there's a role for ritual and the synagogue as well, says Rabbi Philip Scheim of Beth David B'nai Israel Beth Am Congregation in Toronto.
A decade ago, Alex Eisen, a Holocaust survivor who was a member of Rabbi Scheim's shul, proposed the idea of a megillah to be read annually, in much the same way Tisha b'Av is commemorated. With the co-operation of the Conservative movement in North America and Israel, a six-chapter book, titled The Shoah Scroll, was written in Hebrew and English.
"Historic events are remembered in Judaism only if they are anchored in religious rituals. The kindling of six torches by survivors in the courtyard of Yad Vashem is a meaningful ritual, but will it last when there are no survivors?" Rabbi David Golinkin, president of the Schechter Institute in Jerusalem asks in a foreword to the megillah.
The scroll has been translated into Spanish, French, Russian and Hungarian, Rabbi Scheim says. The poetic megillah is read annually in a communal one-hour ceremony in one of the city's Conservative synagogues. Some of the chapters are chanted in Hebrew using the same trop (cantillation) as is used for reading on Tisha b'Av, which commemorates the destruction of the Temple.
Religious ritual still has a powerful attraction, even for Jews who define themselves as secular, Rabbi Scheim says. Witness the numbers who rarely enter a synagogue, but wouldn't miss a Yizkor service for a deceased parent.
"There's a need at a moment of critical painful memory [when] you want to connect with religion," he says.
The megillah may not become the defining ritual throughout the ages, but it is critical for Yom Hashoah to be commemorated as part of Jewish liturgy, Rabbi Scheim says. Ultimately, Yom Hashaoah must become a national day of mourning, when Jews feel it is disrespectful to go to a restaurant or to the movies, he says.
For his part, Gershon Willinger is confident that the Holocaust will be remembered, even in the absence of survivors such as himself.
"It's important that we focus on education after this is all over," Willinger said in an interview after meeting with the students. "Very serious events in history are being remembered and taught… We don't forget about the Inquisition, we don't forget about the expulsion of the Jews… and the destruction of the Temple. I would hope that we are teaching about the Holocaust.
"This is only the icing on the cake, that you have survivors speaking."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The senior tandem of Jimmy Bartolotta and Billy Johnson combined for 59 points in MIT's 69-56 victory over Babson College in a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) men's basketball game on Saturday. Bartolotta led the way with 33 points on 12-of-17 shooting from the floor, including a 5-of-8 performance from behind the arc. Johnson totaled 26 points, 24 of which coming in the second half, on a 10-of-12 outing at the free-throw line and a 7-of-11 total from the field. Shelton Ladson paced the Beavers' (8-5, 0-2 NEWMAC) balanced attack with 11 points.
The Engineers (9-4, 2-0 NEWMAC) quickly established a 7-2 edge to open the game. Babson countered with an 8-3 spurt, capped by a basket by Zach Etten to even the contest at 10 at the 12:59 mark. MIT inched out to a six-point edge on a pair of occasions, the last at 24-18 with 8:19 on the clock. Babson went on to tally seven unanswered points, eventually taking its first lead of the game on a pair of free throws by Matt Zoia with 3:55 left. A Bartolotta layup ended the Engineers' scoring drought almost a minute later, resulting in a 26-25 edge. Two lead changes and a tie ensued before the Cardinal and Gray entered the break with a 30-29 margin.
MIT increased its lead to four, courtesy of a trio of free throws by Johnson during the opening minute of the half. Etten quickly erased the deficit with a basket and a pair of free throws while Pat Belniak drained a layup to put the Beavers ahead, 35-33, at 17:25. On the Engineers' ensuing possession, Johnson's layup ignited 14-3 run that spanned nearly six minutes. Babson battled back, narrowing its deficit to five (49-44) on a three-point play by Eric White midway through the frame. This was as close as the visitors would get as MIT mounted an 11-3 run during the next five minutes for a comfortable 13-point (60-47) cushion. The Beavers came within 10 (64-54) on a three-pointer by Jake Gruber, but the Engineers thwarted any hopes of a late rally.
In addition to his game-high scoring effort, Bartolotta added three steals and two blocks while Johnson notched seven rebounds and three steals. Bradley Gampel dished out six assists as Billy Bender contributed six boards and four assists coming off the bench.
Etten finished with nine points and five rebounds for Babson while Belniak and Zoia each added eight points. Kris Noonan led the way with seven boards as Marcus Edwards grabbed three steals.
Both teams will continue action on Monday, Jan. 12. MIT will host Newbury College while Babson will travel to Amherst College.

1. Re: ScriptUI stroking a fieldLoic.Aigon Mar 29, 2012 1:19 AM (in response to Loic.Aigon)
I finally got what I wanted with a workaround. First of all I could get the above snippet adding this line :
field.onDraw = function()
var gx = this.graphics,
pen = this.graphics.newPen (this.graphics.PenType.SOLID_COLOR, [1, 0, 0,1], 5);
gx.rectPath( this.location[0] , this.location[1], this.size.width, this.size.height);
But the result wasn't the one I expected. The path was indeed drawn inside the text field area when I wanted it outside. Finally my cheat was to create a dummy group object on the back of the text field. Those both objects are placed into a stacked group. Then it's easy to set dimensions and background attributes for the dummy group and finally get what I wanted.
var w = new Window('dialog'); var gp = w.add('group'); gp.orientation = 'stack'; gp.alignChildren = ['center','center']; var dummyGp = gp.add('group'); dummyGp.preferredSize = [102,52]; dummyGp.graphics.backgroundColor = dummyGp.graphics.newBrush (dummyGp.graphics.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR, [1,0,0,1] ); var tf1 = gp.add('edittext'); tf1.preferredSize = [100,50]; w.show();
Hope it helps.

Nice one, Loic. But remember that on the Mac and on Windows, the stacked objects are drawn in a different order. So on Windows, your script shows just a red rectangle because the edit field is placed behind the rectangle.
3. Re: ScriptUI stroking a fieldMarc Autret Mar 30, 2012 10:29 AM (in response to Loic.Aigon)1 person found this helpful
Hi Loïc,
About your workaround, why don't you simply create a Group having 1px margins—this depends on the stroke weight you need—and the desired background color, then add the EditText field within?
4. Re: ScriptUI stroking a fieldLoic.Aigon Apr 2, 2012 4:04 PM (in response to Marc Autret)
Hi Peter, Marc,
Sorry for the delay, I haven't been warned of your posts and almost seen them by surprise.
@Peter, that's the nasty one. The environment should be 100% macs but that's not a reason.
@Marc, I thought margins deal with spacing inside the items. I gave it a try and the margin itself look much wider than requested
If I set margins = 1, I should expect 1 px wide stroke. But it looks like it's three added :?
5. Re: ScriptUI stroking a fieldMarc Autret Apr 6, 2012 7:05 PM (in response to Loic.Aigon)
Hi Loïc,
Yes, it's a Mac thing. On Mac OS, the EditText widget is subject to a specific focus ring wich automatically allocates 2 or 3 additional transparent pixels all around the field! Hence, if the control is nested within a background-colored group, that color is revealed through this additional space.
From that point you need to apply two fixes:
(1) create a white subgroup between the outer group and the EditText to make sure that the revealed background fits the EditText background;
(2) make the EditText borderless to inhibits its own stroke.
Now to the code:
// ScriptUI EditText with custom border (Win & Mac) // ========================== var STROKE_COLOR = [1,0,0], // red STROKE_WEIGHT = 1, // in pixels FILL_COLOR = [1,1,1], // white INSET_SPACE = 3; // in pixels -- Mac OS focus ring needs it >=3 var u, w = new Window('dialog'), // --- gBorder = w.add('panel').add('group'), gSpacer = gBorder.add('group'), e = gSpacer.add('edittext', u, u, {borderless:true}), // --- bCancel = w.add('button', u, "Cancel"), // --- gx = w.graphics, SOLID_BRUSH = gx.BrushType.SOLID_COLOR; // Edit field settings // --- e.characters = 12; gBorder.margins = STROKE_WEIGHT; gBorder.graphics.backgroundColor = gx.newBrush(SOLID_BRUSH, STROKE_COLOR ); gSpacer.margins = INSET_SPACE; gSpacer.graphics.backgroundColor = e.graphics.backgroundColor = gx.newBrush(SOLID_BRUSH, FILL_COLOR ); w.show();
Hope that works.

Wednesday Presser Transcript 11-7-12: Brady Hoke
Wednesday Presser Transcript 11-7-12: Brady Hoke
- Both Denard and Russell Bellomy are day to day. Hoke doesn't want to comment on it, so don't ask or he'll get mad at you.
- All's quiet on the Devin Gardner redshirt front.
- Mario Ojemudia is not 100%, still limited in practice. My guess is he probably won't play Saturday.
- Jeremy Gallon is "good." My guess is he probably will play on Saturday.
- Joey Burzynski and Jack Miller have taken reps with the ones this week. If they do get shuffled into the offensive line rotation, that decision will be made after tomorrow's practice.
From the mixed up files of Dr. Basil E. Heikoyang
Opening remarks:
"It was a good practice, and I think it's been like that most of the year. I think we had really good energy. We had good tempo. I think our team -- I know our team understands we're playing an awfully good team this week. They're very difficult in some ways to defend from an offensive perspective. Their playmakers on both sides of the ball with Mark and Colter, and Siemian throws the ball awfully well. They have a group of receivers that play the ball well in the air. I think they run after the catch very well. When you look at the big plays they've had defensively, they've had 20 plus runs. I think they have 12 touchdowns of them. And then throwing the ball, they've had a number of those they've done a good job with. And then defensively you look at them and, you know, Mike Hankwitz, who played here, the coordinator, does a tremendous job from a defensive perspective. Sound, disciplined, run to the ball, all the things you want to see a defense do. We've got our work cut out for us.
"Regarding our two quarterbacks, I'm not going to talk about it as far as what's going on with Russell and Denard because it's day to day and in fairness to those kids, I'm not going to give day to day updates. So that's where that's at."

The signature frame construction of our rigid chairs is like nothing else you will see in the market today. You will not feel anything else like it either, because it is 20% stiffer and stronger than other aluminum rigid frames on the market. The lightweight ultra-stiff 7000 series 1 3/8" tubing is the ideal combination of vibration dampening and rigidity.
Hidden inside your Tsunami, the simple yet ingenious Crescent CG system keeps the side frame free of excess hardware, while providing infinite adjustability. It is this infinite adjustability that allows you to position the CG anywhere along the side frame without worrying about interference with the backrest hardware or aftermarket seating system. Comfort just got easier.
TCS provides individual seat height setting without the clutter of extra metal and hardware. Seat heights are adjustable up and down in 1/4" increments. This gives you a sleek, clean chair. Also, by using the tubular components we greatly increase the lateral stiffness of the chair resulting in a stiffer, more responsive ride.
The distinctive front caster housing design is made from precision machined aluminum, providing a unique visual symmetry that catches the eye and is incredibly strong. The design aids in the responsiveness and durability of the ride, which you will feel with every push forward.
Just because it has a low price doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice options and the ability to customize. The ALX comes with multiple ways to get the fit you want, the fit you need. Choose the style and positioning you want with more front-frame bend options, tapers and colors than the competition.
Infinite Adjustment of your footplate! Now you can easily adjust your footplate in just a few simple steps using just one tool! Simply loosen, adjust and tighten. It is that easy and you are able to achieve the perfect fit, for you.
Tsunami ALX offers Ki Mobility's full line of specially designed Ki spoke wheels with precision machined hubs and hard anodized handrims. Utilizing straight pull spokes this wheel promotes a stiffer and stronger wheel while the hard anodize handrim is resistant to scratching so they keep that "NEW" look longer. We also offer the full array of industry standard wheels and casters such as Spinergy, Natural Fit, Frog Legs and Topolino.
Ki Mobility proudly offers the ultra-sleek and lightweight X-Coretm mags. These wheels have far greater stiffness and rigidity than conventional mags while keeping the weight to only 1 lb. more than spokes. Now available in 20" and 24" and coming soon in 22".
16"x16" Standard Length Frame, Adjustable Height Back - 12", 4" Poly Casters, Tubular Open Footplate and Standard Upholstery. Rear Wheels Removed.
Only on Rigids, Flip & Liberty FT!

The WNBA is searching for a new Sparks owner after franchise Chairwoman Paula Williams Madison told the league her family-owned company would no longer be involved with the team, The Times has learned.
"This was a big surprise to us," WNBA President Laurel Richie said Thursday. "Right before the holidays, I got a call from Paula letting me know that she and her family were no longer in a position to continue with the Sparks."
The WNBA is not taking over control of the Sparks, however.
Asked if the Sparks would field a team for the 2014 season, or if the franchise would fold, Richie repeatedly said that several entities have expressed an interest in owning a WNBA team and the league is exploring those options regarding the Sparks.
The Sparks' front-office staff, including General Manager Penny Toler and President Vincent Malcolm, has been laid off. Sparks Coach Carol Ross and her staff have been relieved of their duties, according to a league spokesman.
The Times obtained a copy of an email that was sent by Malcolm to team employees on Tuesday: "… we regret to inform you that effective December 31, 2013 you no longer will be employed by the Los Angeles Sparks."
The players, however, have gotten paid and their benefits will continue, according to a WNBA spokesman.
Calls to Sparks minority owner Kathy Goodman and Ross for comment were not immediately returned.
The Sparks are one of the WNBA's original teams and won championships in 2001 and 2002. The late Lakers owner Jerry Buss sold the Sparks in 2006 to an investment group led by Goodman, a former film executive, and attorney Carla Christofferson.
Madison, a former NBC executive and partner in team majority investor Williams Group Holdings LLC, became the Sparks' chairwoman in 2007, with an ownership group that included Goodman, Christofferson and former Sparks star Lisa Leslie.
The WNBA started out with eight teams in 1997 and grew to 16 before several franchises folded — it now fields 12 teams, including the Sparks.
The league has been dogged by financial concerns for years.
In 2012 the WNBA's average attendance fell to a record low of 7,457, according to SportsBusiness Daily. In 2013 the league said its overall attendance rose by 1%.
Richie said the Sparks' problems do not reflect on the financial health of the rest of the teams in the league.
"This is an issue for a particular ownership group," Richie said. "We are very respectful of that and we are knee deep in exploring what this means for us and what our plan is going forward."

Another private press out of Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Eight original tracks - plenty of breezy beats and nice fender rhodes. You know the score..!
If you like today's funky rhythms, but miss the sounds of legitimate jazz then relax and listen to Rupert Cobbett. Although there is a definate jazz "sound" to Cobbett's music the word doesn't begin to get into the soul of the man's genius. It is more an experience than a sound. It swings like a cool breeze on a hot Jamaican night then mellows to greet the sundrenched "peaceful morning". Lay back and let it sink into your soul.
(taken from the original liner notes)
Rupert Cobbett - keyboards; Bill Prince - horns; Arlin Strader - percussion; Gary Phillips - bass; Produced by Dave Chiodo.

Whether or not a project is successful largely depends on how well the project is planned. In fact, in a recent analysis of project management (PM) software buyers who contact Software Advice, 86 percent request systems with strong project planning capabilities.
We've created this guide to help buyers better understand project planning solutions and how they factor into the larger PM software market. Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Project Planning Software?
Common Capabilities of Project Planning Software
Benefits of Project Planning Software
Project planning software helps managers and stakeholders map out and visualize a project's critical path, or the sequence of activities and tasks required to complete a project, the duration of those tasks and the way they relate to one another.
This high-level "roadmapping" process helps managers:
Businesses can purchase stand-alone project planning applications (often referred to as "mind mapping" or "story mapping" tools), or invest in an integrated PM suite. A comprehensive PM solution typically contains project planning capabilities in addition to other core PM functionality, such as:
Among the best project planning tools are Gantt charts, which are used to visualize a project's schedule and determine the critical path. These digital charts are vastly less labor-intensive to update than Gantt charts created using manual methods (more on this below).
Managers also use Gantt charts after the project planning stage, in order to monitor task progression and resource usage over the course of the project life cycle. These charts are used to keep internal and external stakeholders up to date on the accuracy of initial scope, timeline and budget estimates. Many top PM software vendors include Gantt charts as part of their platform.
The following are some common capabilities of project planning tools:
|Gantt charts
|Represented as cascading bar charts across a timeline or calendar. During planning, managers use Gantt charts to visualize the project schedule; determine the critical path; spotlight task dependencies and potential risk areas; monitor personnel workloads; and assign staff to tasks. They can also help track performance and progress on tasks once projects are underway. (See screenshot below table for an example.)
|Resource scheduling
|Some platforms include resource management functionality, allowing managers increased visibility into personnel availability and skill set. Managers can schedule resources to tasks, or assign a "placeholder resource" for roles they know they'll need, but haven't been able to schedule yet.
|Managers can easily reorganize a project's schedule by clicking-and-dragging work items on the calendar (see screenshot below). If the update causes a conflict later in the schedule, this conflict would be flagged for further attention.
|Work item color-coding
|Allows users to set rules for color-coding tasks on the calendar. These rules use variables such as the employee responsible for completing an item (e.g., Tom's tasks are blue and Tammy's are green) or the task status (in-progress tasks are green, overdue tasks are red etc.).
|Risk identification
|Allows users to flag potential risk areas, such as dependent tasks (e.g., if task B can only start once task A is complete, these tasks would be flagged).
|Automatic alerts
|Lets managers schedule in-app or email alerts. These can be used to notify employees about upcoming task due dates, or to alert staff assigned to a dependent task that the preceding work item is nearing completion.
|Communication tools
|Help facilitate collaboration among users via in-app comments, group chat streams or discussion forums. For example, users can comment and add status updates directly to tasks or flagged risk items, or loop in a team member on a question posted to a project discussion board.
Gantt Chart in Wrike
There are several benefits of using project planning software as opposed to manual methods. These benefits include:
Increased visibility into individual and team workloads, skill sets and current and future availability. This benefit is best realized when using a comprehensive PM suite with both project planning and resource management capabilities.
Improved communication and collaboration. Project planning tools act as a shared hub where managers, team members and stakeholders can store all project-related communication. This provides a permanent record for important decisions and project changes.
Using visual tools, such as Gantt charts, helps managers with early risk detection. This allows managers and stakeholders to plan risk management strategies ahead of time and combat any potential obstacles.
Easy access to historical archives. The information in project plans and status reports can influence future business decisions. Managers and stakeholders using planning software can look back on previous projects to see why decisions were made, and to compare timeline and budgetary measures.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

There are a number of good folks running for election and re-election to the Chico City Council and among them is my favorite candidate, Dave Kelley.
I met Dave when we served together on the Chico Planning Commission and I was immediately impressed by his intelligence, his good humor, and the way in which he listened and responded courteously to applicants. I also appreciated Dave's preparedness and careful review of projects as well as his concern that new development follow closely the Chico General Plan and be consistent with the city's environmental goals. His ideas for building Chico's economic capacity include supporting a vital and attractive downtown, growing local tourism and promoting Chico as a regional medical hub, all of which make good sense to me.
Dave has now served three years as chair of the Chico Planning Commission and has carried out that role with utmost fairness, thoughtfulness and responsibility. He will bring those needed characteristics to his service on the city council and both the council and the city will profit from his efforts.
— Irv Schiffman, Chico

The enthusiastic professionals in Paris report that:
Global oil supply fell 250 kb/d to 86.8 mb/d in August, as non-OPEC output dipped to 52.4 mb/d on seasonal maintenance in Canada, the UK and Russia.I've added that to the graph above (along with the OPEC data point I discussed yesterday). As often, the agencies don't completely agree on what's going on, with OPEC now seeing July as only a partial restoration of production cuts in June, but the IEA still seeing it as taking production to a higher level. But both concur that August is now below the level of February.
So there is certainly the appearance of a trend break here. To give you some idea, from May 2009 to February 2010, the slope of the three-agency average was 0.25 ± 0.03 mbd/month, while from Feb to August of this year, the slope was -0.02 ± 0.04 mbd/month. So the slope since February is not significantly different than zero. However, the slope is significantly different than last year - the difference between the two is 0.27 ± 0.05, which is highly significant*.
To interpret the fact that global oil production has stagnated for most of this year, we obviously have to look at price trends too:
Prices dropped a few months ago from being over $80 into the $70s, and haven't really climbed very much since. So it still seems to me that the most likely picture here is that a stagnating global economy is not pushing prices high enough to unlock additional supply (which OPEC undoubtedly has).
So what happens now? Does oil supply resume growing again and surpass the July 2008 peak? Or does it begin to go down again?
My educated guess would be this: in the short term, I see the global economy stagnant. European countries are belt-tightening (especially the U.K.). The US is too paralyzed by political polarization to take much action of any kind, but the growth effects of the stimulus from ARRA are mostly over. Deleveraging still has a long way to go and will exert a dampening effect over much of the globe.
In the medium term, it seems that the place to watch is Greece. We know the European stress tests left out sovereign default, which I am cynical enough to think means that European regulators knew important banks couldn't cope with a Greek default. But it's a little hard to see how Greece doesn't default (did everyone see that amazing Michael Lewis piece in Vanity Fair?). And if it did, I assume that would trigger Financial Crisis 2.0 (probably less severe than Financial Crisis 1.0 in 2008) which in turn would probably trigger another jog down in global oil consumption/production.
Here are the latest European Bond Spreads (courtesy Atlanta Fed):
Greece is paying absolutely usurious interest rates.
I guess leading reasons to think otherwise: the Fed and the ECB might, at some point, become sufficiently alarmed about deflation to start to take stronger quantitative easing measures and manage to provoke some kind of recovery. However, I have to think any such recovery could only be very shallow and temporary. In a world with a major Too Much Debt problem, lowering interest rates to provoke more borrowing cannot be a lasting strategy for fixing the problem.
The other possibility is that emerging economies could continue to grow their oil consumption enough to offset falls in developed countries. But their oil consumption is still much smaller, and many of the largest emerging economies are still very export dependent.
So on balance, I think it's more likely than not that oil supply will drift sideways for a while, and then fall a mbd or three in a financial shock. However, the world is a very complex place, and I wouldn't place more than, say, 65% confidence in the bet that it will break downwards rather than upwards.
(*Nerdy footnote: Note that the significance would be reduced somewhat by the fact that we decided where to place the putative trend break after looking at the data, but not likely enough to erase this big of an effect).

A prism
of multicolored sunlight
streams in from stained glass
minute particles of dust
floating over
rustic wooden pews,
chipped and scarred from their
long years of use.
Mice scamper as boards creak.
clings on chipped, painted
Musty air fills my head as
forgotten hymns echo
in silence.

The clouds tonight,

Skulk below the moon,
Wander from there to here to another there
Going nowhere in particular.,.

Shining through.

There's something glorious in tears.
Especially when they roll with a smile
And energy surging inside me. by Marty Mallory
The cold wind almost takes me away,
But it feels comforting for some reason
It's sharp and invigorating to feel its touch
Yet, it pushes the tears back on my face,
Making my eyes squint with wonder.
There's something glorious in tears.
As the noise from young people's playful spirits
Climbs in-all around me-seeming
Somehow familiar, yet strange.
I see.
I feel alive.

I search for love in endless ways unkown
to anybody else but you and me.
I gaze upon a scarlet sunset tone,
and grasp to feel the freedom that I see,
but still continue searching for the end
of this eternal loneliness to find.
I roam in scorching deserts full of sand,
so lifeless, yearning for a taste, a kind
of life, for water on my tongue. To stand
near oceans with cool winds upon my face
is all I want to feel, to comprehend
a gentle spirits' love and warm embrace
that give me life if I can these conceive,
and hearken to his image, and believe

I feel like I can almost see you
tonight, Lord,
When I walked outside it should have been
pitch dark,
but there was a beautiful,
soft, white glow surrounding me.
As I looked up
I could feel you
gently touching my face.
I wanted to hug you
but I could only hug you in my mind
because snow flakes are hard to hang onto.
Now as I sit here
gazing out my window
a flake will hit the pane
as though it is trying to get in.
Then I realize it is still you,
wanting so much to come in
and gaze out the window with me.

Coming Out of Me
Loosen me
From the places I have been to.
Lift me from my swirling mind
And its undertow.
Lead me through
the channels I have chosen,
And show me
The madness once frozen.
Fly me over my desert
And the heat I left below.
Let me know the pale eyes
Of those who felt my blows.
Cry for me,
So small am I,
And stretch me still,
As I awaken inside.
Free me of this solitary mood,
And let my eyes
Dance with yours
On the children of an age
Left to open doors.

Diving with Both Strobes and Video Lights?
Posted 29 October 2012 - 11:44 AM
Some reading on other posts suggests that video lights are not really ideal for stills (at least my two Sola 1200s probably aren't), and except in really shallow water, macro video probably benefits from lights.
It seems theoretically possible to add a triple clamp to the end of my ULCS arms and piggy back the relatively light Solas next to my Sea & Sea strobes.
Too much equipment? Too much hassle?

If your strobes have modeling lights you can add them to the mix for video as well.

Triple clamps work very well to hold the Sola 1200's. It's really only one additional light to carry around if you usually have a Sola mounted for a focus light. Is it too much of a hassle? You're the only one who can decide that. You might think about using shorter arms and the rig would be easier to handle.
I've found I'm not very good at mentally setting up to do both video and stills on the same dive. The process is so very different that I don't have any luck shooting both. Maybe with your experience you won't have that problem. I'd guess video shooters would have an easier time transitioning than still shooters. There are clearly exceptions, Emjae come to mind as someone who has proven he can do both. I'm not that gifted. Don't be surprised if it takes you a while to figure it out.
Good luck,

Thanks for your insight. I have serious doubts myself that I can handle both. I think you're right: Mentally they require different mind sets. They certainly require different skills. I've got a fair amount of experience with stills, but I'm still very new at video with a separate rig. I'm not at all sure I'm up to managing both with one box.
In any event, it's fun to try, to learn and to try again. I'm headed out in December to Cozumel for the maiden voyage for my new D800 rig, and the currents are likely to be enough of a challenge. I'm not sure up up to trying both video and stills on this short trip, but I will probably try some natural light shallow stuff that I can reasonably process later in Final Cut Pro. We're measuring a couple weeks in Dominica in the spring. That may be a better place to play, experiment and see what I can do with lights.
You're the former pilot, yes. I think you helped me with other issues. Again, my thanks.

Gives enough light for quality wide angle video and more than enough for macro video. Since you can dial down the intensity, it also works as a focus light. Everything in one.
I am going to move this direction as soon as I sell my current dual light set-up.

... and, in passing, I would have thought Sola 1200's fine for stills. Too much light makes it difficult to balance foreground and background and generates lots of lovely backscatter, all nicely blurred in the continuous illumination of a video light.

Just to add my ha'p'orth (old Yorkshire for stirring, a little): I've always found that setting up my system for flexibility yields second-rate results.
I'm in absolute agreement with you Tim. Even when I was shooting a top-end compact and had the choice to take along both macro and wide-angle wet lenses I quickly realised that it was folly and I always concentrated on a single technique. Today, I do shoot DSLR video and my rig is configured in such a specific way that I could not imagine even 'taking a snap', and its not for want of illumination with up to 21,000 lumens at my disposal...
Maybe, there could be room for both video and stills when shooting macro subjects but once the initial decision is made, I'd likely remain with that technique for the whole dive. But I rarely shoot macro...

Question for the DSLR crowd with cameras that do macro stills and video: Does anyone dive with four lights--one set of strobes for stills and one set of video lights for macro?
Some reading on other posts suggests that video lights are not really ideal for stills (at least my two Sola 1200s probably aren't), and except in really shallow water, macro video probably benefits from lights.
It seems theoretically possible to add a triple clamp to the end of my ULCS arms and piggy back the relatively light Solas next to my Sea & Sea strobes.
Too much equipment? Too much hassle?
NO I dont like to drive with so many lights on. It is trouble for others
Posted 29 November 2012 - 08:31 PM
Here is my setup with the recent addition of Two I-torch Video Pro 4 lights attached with 3 way clamps. Up to now I have been using the I-torch video 3 as a focusing light and not even bothering with the video LED from the Ikelite Ds161 movies as they have no power (supposed to be 500 lumens). I decided that I would get into doing more video with my D7000 and needed small, bright and cheapest video lights and found the Video pro 4's the way to go over the Sola 1200's.
I mainly went with two video pro 4's as they have good even spread and two would be needed for shooting wide angle with the Tokina 10-17mm......maybe not at 10mm tho.
If you already have two Sola1200 I dont see any issue of just mounting one or maybe two on the middle mount for both stills (focusing light at low power) and video for macro. Honestly the size of the Sola1200 is that much and wouldnt be a hassle. Get the best of both worlds.

Kim Kardashian is still in hermit mode as she works on getting back into pre-pregnancy shape.
The usually camera-ready star of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and its many E! offshoots has been tucked away since the June 15 birth of her baby with rapper Kanye West.
Kardashian, 32, is said to have "lost a lot of her baby weight," a source close to the reality starlet told People. "She's feeling great and looking forward to getting back in shape."
Kardashian is living at her mother's Hidden Hills home. There, Kris Jenner's personal chef is making Kim's meals and light and healthy snacks, the mag said.
The new mom is also "settling into a routine with her daughter," the source added.
"She's happy with the way she looks but she knows she still has a way to go to get her pre-baby body totally back."
On her reality show, Kardashian became nostalgic about her pre-baby body and often posted photos of her fit and toned figure on Instagram during her pregnancy.
Kardashian will reportedly debut her post-baby body this summer on her mom's newly launched talk show "Kris," according to Us Weekly.
"She wants to show up like Heidi Klum and have everyone marvel at how fast she lost the weight," a source told the mag. As of July 18, Kardashian was said to have already lost 20 of the 50 pounds she gained during her term.
This Sunday's episode of "KUWTK" will also shed some more light on her unique baby-name selection, which seems to have originated from a conversation with stepbrother Brody Jenner and sister Kourtney Kardashian, already mom of two, during their family vacation in Greece.
"I'm feeling North," Jenner said. "North West."
"Me too!" her sister Kourtney added. "It's pretty and cool and it's not just like tomboy-ish. It's just good."
Though she would've "kind of" liked to have her baby girl's name start with the letter K, Kardashian said she had her reservations because she didn't want her new family to be known as KKK, referencing the white supremacy group the Ku Klux Klan. (Obviously not acknowledging that the combo of herself, Kourtney and Khloe had already hit that nail on the head, or that her boyfriend had a single called "Black Skinhead.")
"Our kid, if it's a K, then they'll call us the KKK," she said.
Brody seemed to think that was "a little crazy."
So North it is, and apparently that's not crazy at all...

Ran into a strange phenomena:
in Application A, theruns perfectly (where pathDir is C:\tmp for example. This directory is on the local machine and I have full permissions).Code:Using sr = New StreamReader(pathDir)
In Application B the same line, on the same directory (on the same machine) throws the exception: "Access to the path is denied".
The code checks that the directory is not read-only before trying to create the streamReader.
This happens when run in the IDE or by activating the exe file.
Some additional information:
Windows 7 Pro, 64bit, VS 2013 (same happens with VS2010 generated app).
The app.manifest of both application is identical. I've tried changing to all possible options of requestedExecutionLevel but the result was the same.
The target framework of the application is 4.
The exception is thrown whether I run as administrator or not.
I've set the permissions of the directory to full control for all accounts (including Administrator and Everyone).
I've deleted the directory and recreated it. Didn't help.
Ran Farbar and Avira scan which did not report any problems.
Any advice will be much appreciated,

West Ham have signed former Manchester City midfielder Abdul Razak on a short-term deal.
The 21-year-old Ivory Coast international came through the ranks at City after originally starting out at Crystal Palace but found first-team opportunities limited at the Etihad Stadium.
Razak has spent time on loan at Portsmouth, Brighton, Charlton and most recently Russian outfit Anzhi Makhachkala, who signed him on a permanent deal in October.
But now the midfielder will be looking to make a more lasting impression on the Premier League as he links up with the Hammers, who face Swansea on Saturday as they look to move out of the relegation zone.
Razak is manager Sam Allardyce's fourth signing of the January transfer window after loan deals for Wolves defender Roger Johnson and Italy internationals Antonio Nocerino and Marco Borriello.

Gold Peridot Ring (S (UK))
Gold Peridot Ring (S (UK))
Select your size Size Guide
Gold fill is composed of a solid layer of 14 carat gold bonded with heat and pressure to a jewellers' brass core. The gold content in gold filled items are five to ten times thicker than gold plating.
FEATHER+STONE jewellery is handcrafted from 14k gold fill, sterling silver and semi-precious gemstones. In order to keep it sparkling:
Avoid contact with perfumes, soaps, lotions and creams to avoid discolouration and damage. Apply perfumes and lotions and allow to dry fully before putting on jewellery.
Remove jewellery when exercising, swimming, showering and sleeping.
Store jewellery in a dry place, away from direct sunlight or extremes of temperature to avoid oxidation. Store pieces separately to avoid scratching and tangling of delicate chains.
To revive the shine on your jewellery, use the gold or silver cloth you receive with your order, avoiding any semi-precious stones. If you wish to purchase larger gold or silver polishing cloths, I recommend Town Talk Polishing Cloths.

FEATHER+STONE jewelry focuses on the simplicity of textured metallics with a pop of color.

By August 15, 1969, hundreds of thousands of people had flocked to upstate New York to attend Woodstock, the epic 3-day music festival that was said to be the capstone of a cultural movement. The world had never seen anything like it. Sam Yasgur convinced his father Max to allow the event to be held on their 600 acre farm in Bethel, New York. The biggest and best bands of the era played day and night to the lucky folks who made history just by being there. 20-mile traffic jams, heavy rain, mud, and insufficient food and accommodations did nothing to mar the collective, peace-loving spirit of the happening. The world still hasn't fully recovered, and probably never will.

About Joe Sia
Joe Sia was a shooting star, a genuine, hands-down, everyone-agrees-on-this star at shooting [photographs], and his departure from this planet in 2003 at the tender age of 57 was too soon for a man of his talent. Born in the Bronx and a committed Yankees man, Joe loved music and gravitated around the Fillmore East and the flower-power youth-culture rock scene from whence he set out to capture some of the most incredible sounds of the last half-century. How could Joe capture sounds on camera film? He did it by focusing on the faces of the performers and the woozing-oozing crowd and by giving the background, whether simple or wild, the importance it deserved in defining the artist and event. Sia's entire archive consists more than a quarter of a million photographs that document almost 35 years of music genre and giants.
