Memories and recollections of live exhibitions can provide solace to art lovers, as we wait for the pandemic to abate and for life to return to a semblance of normalcy.
Among the most outstanding exhibitions I have seen over the years — actually a collaboration of art shows, titled “Pacific Standard Time (PST): Art in LA 1945-1980” — ran from October 2011 to March 2012. For this Getty Foundation sponsored initiative, over 60 Southern California art institutions looked back at, defined and documented in displays, catalogs and dialogues this area’s post war cultural scene.
As these shows demonstrated, influences on the emergence of SoCal as a major art capital included the counterculture movement, the opening of major art schools (including the UC Irvine art department), and the growth of the aerospace industry. The latter provided artists with new techniques and materials, such as malleable plastics and acrylic resin/polymer emulsion paint, employed by California Light and Space artists in their art pieces.
Three Pacific Standard Time exhibitions — presented at UC Irvine, the Orange County Museum of Art and the Laguna Art Museum (LAM) — featured the work of UCI artist teachers and students who inhabited their free-spirited art department from the mid 1960s into the early 1970s.
Laguna Art Museum’s “Best Kept Secret,” the most varied of these exhibitions, was on display from November 2011 to the following January. The show’s title was based on UCI art school dean Jill Beck’s (1995-2003) use of “Best Kept Secret” to describe the newly created art school as a formidable force in the advancement of contemporary art.
As the LAM exhibition revealed, UCI in its early days was a haven of forward-thinking creativity where instructors transcended the limits of formal art styles, while employing tolerance, dialogue, diversity and experimentation in their teaching methods. And students were encouraged to explore new approaches to performance art, body art, video and film, among other genres. Or as art writer/poet Peter Frank explained in the catalog accompanying the show: “Instructors stressed attitude rather than practice, intellectual inquiry instead of manual dexterity, discourse in lieu of production.”
UCI art instructors, including SoCal pioneers Larry Bell, Tony DeLap, Robert Irwin, Craig Kauffman, John Mason and Ed Moses, mentored students and even collaborated on art pieces with them. Additional inspiration to teachers and students was provided by the modernist free-form UCI campus buildings, designed by William Pereira. (The 1968 movie, “Planet of the Apes,” about a crew of astronauts that crash-lands on a far-away planet, was filmed on the futuristic-looking UCI campus.)
Perhaps the most famous student to emerge from the UCI art department was Chris Burden (creator of the “Urban Light” [2008] sculpture at the L.A. County Museum of Art) who did several conceptual performance pieces there. In his “Through the Night Softly” (1973), he crawled nearly naked over glass; in “Five Day Locker Piece” (1971), he locked himself inside a locker for five days.
Barbara T. Smith, a former suburban housewife and UCI art student, grew into a performance artist there with her “Ritual Meal” (1969), a nightmarish video of dinner guests wearing hospital scrubs while eating with surgical instruments. Nancy Buchanan created “Hairpiece” (1971-72), a large rug woven from human and poodle hair. And feminist student Marsha Red Adams’ submitted her “Woman Bound/Woman Withdrawn” (1971) to the show. This installation of eight photographs of a naked woman in various constraining poses features hand-painted and stitched string binding each individual pose.
John Mason’s tall “Unfinished Arch” (1973) made of traditional clay bricks was held together through physics and carefully placed components, not with mortar. At a walk-through of the show, he explained how he painstakingly constructed the sculpture, while the museum staff looked on with anticipation.
Light and Space works in the exhibition by now renowned artists demonstrated the use of industrial materials, including plastics, resins and polymers. Larry Bell’s “Bette and the Giant Jewfish” (1963) and “Untitled” (1969), large square boxes of vacuum-coated glass and chrome-plated metal, attracted refracted light. Tony DeLap’s “Fawkes” (1968), a shaped painting — he referred to it as a “hyperbolic paraboloid” — appeared to change shape as the viewer moved around it. And Ron Davis, who evolved from painting minimalist canvases to creating fiberglass and polyester resins, to building his 12-sided “dodecagon” wall sculptures, contributed his “Round” (1969) to the show; it is a dramatic abstract work of varied pigments.
Other Light and Space artists represented in the exhibition included Laddie John Dill, Robert Irwin, Craig Kaufman and James Turrell. The works of installation artists Jay McCafferty and Richard Newton were displayed there as well.
In the decade since “Best Kept Secret” was exhibited, UCI’s early efforts advancing innovative art have received increasing notice. Perhaps curator Grace Kook-Anderson plays a part in that recognition; as during the show’s display, she spent long hours promoting it and dialoguing with the exhibitors, often in public forums.
At UC Irvine today, mentoring continues as a prominent teaching style by faculty-artists including Kevin Appel, Juli Carson, Liz Glynn, Antoinette LaFarge, Daniel Joseph Martinez, Jennifer Pastor, Amanda Ross-Ho, among many others. This ongoing practice enables the art department to carry on its five decade legacy of empowering students to express their creativity unfettered by conventional standards.

Hey guys, I recently pieced together what turns out to be a really funny translation error. Check this out!
Alright, so, throughout the Alien Nine mangas, there are a couple references to a punk rock band called Dead Kennedys. I guess Hitoshi Tomizawa enjoys their music, and just wanted to throw in a few references for fun. The first reference is here, on the lovely Mrs. Kawamura's shirt sleeves; it's just one of those drawings in between chapters: (after you click the thumbnail the page will load with a scaled version of the picture; click that picture again to see it in full)
The next picture reference is also on a little "in-between-chapters-page". This one is on Yuri's jacket.
Alright, so at this point we can tell two things: 1. Hitoshi Tomizawa has not only gotten the band name wrong twice, but both times he got it wrong in a different way. 2. Dead Kennedys played a concert in Dallas in 1963.
About 1: the first time, Mr. Tmizawa wrote "Dead Kennedy", leaving out the plural "s". The second time he put the "s", but wrote "Kenneys" instead of "Kennedys". Obviously, his isn't very good with English. But suppose this: He searches "Dead Kennedy" looking for info about them. He misinterprets a report though, and thinks that Dead Kennedy played a concert in 1963 in Dallas. But wait- Dead Kennedys were formed in 1978. The misunderstanding lies in the fact that the article he heard that from wasn't mentioning a concert where the band played a Dallas gig in 1963: It was Robert F. Kennedy's assassination.
It was an easy mistake to make though, if he was looking up info about them on sites that were in English. Or perhaps he was looking at a Japanese site that made the mistake first. Either way, it's pretty darn funny in my oppinion
Oh, and any sixth grader who listens to Dead Kennedys probably never had a childhood

I missed the first one, but when reading the second, I thought it was trying to simultaneously reference both the Dead Kennedys and South Park.

A voyage through the Sports activities Channel towards Sky Sports, UK and Irelands leading sports channel.
Sky Sports is actually British Sky Broadcasting’s top TWENTY FOUR hour sports activities news channel throughout England and Ireland. British Sky Broadcasting is really a satellite pay for TV company and also together with Sky Sports it also has Sky Sports 1, 2, 3 and also Xtra which are accessible as a Premium bundle over the basic Sky Sports. Since their inception in 1990, Sky Sports has portrayed a very prominent role in commercializing Uk sport. This channel has also been instrumental in making an important paradigm transfer within the organizational structure associated with sports broadcasting by being the very first to support as well as inspire the Premier League to split from the Football League during 1992.
Sky Sports started out as The Sports Channel in March 1990 since Sky Television did not have an exclusive sports channel in the beginning. Sports programs had been broadcast occasionally by this particular channel but instead of starting a sports channel of their very own, Sky Television chose to purchase Eurosport. On the launch of Sky Television during February 1989, Eurosport was marketed as one of its 4 channels.
British Sky Broadcasting and Sky Television announced a merger during the year 1990. Initially launched as British Sky Broadcasting, this Sports Channel was rebranded Sky Sports when it had been eventually launched during April, 1991 over the SES Astra IB Satellite television. Eurosport ceased their partnership together with Sky Television on the launch of Sky Sports but remained available on the particular SES Astra platform.
Sky Sports soon turned into one of the most successful stations of the Sky system. It had been from September 1992, that Sky commenced selling Sky Sports as being a subscription tv channel. After Sky Movies, this became the 2nd tv channel in the Sky structure which was encrypted by way of the particular Video Crypt system. Though Sky Sports began by way of airing sports like golf as well as rugby, it quickly acquired the rights to air Italian as well as German League Football thus increasing its global recognition base.
In 1992/93, together with the formation of the Premier League, Sky Sports became the most popular sports activities tv channel following the acquisition of the exclusive broadcasting rights associated with Premier League Football in England and Ireland for a period of five years.
Sky Sports additionally manages Sky Sports news, a 24 hour sports activities news tv channel that was launched during 1998. The style of this news channel was revamped in the year 2007. It was simply in time with the football season. Although the primary structure of presentation had been maintained, the color exhibits in the information box, the ticker in the bottom of the screen and the breaking news ticker had been changed. A new studio room, new theme tune as well as new title sequences were additionally part of the actual revamping. Nevertheless the broadcasting format continued to be at a 4: 3 and did not get upgraded on the Widescreen 16: 9 formats.
Right up till date Sky Sports is associated more with football as compared to with any sports activities. It really is perhaps because of this reason that this tv channel does often suffer from some reduction in viewership during the summers whenever no football is played out.

Nick's Flick Picks: The Blog
A film blog under the influence
Loomings
I'll take "Mood Indicators" for $1000, Alex...
I treat you now to two of the most famous ass shots in modern movies:
This, as you probably recall, is what it looks like when the huge, hulking behind of the Titanic is suddenly looming large in the night sky, towering over the poor sots who had the good luck to make it alive off the ship and into the open water, but who are now a) freezing, and b) about to have the biggest ship in the world plunk down on their heads.
For one, I am already freezing. It's 21°F in Ithaca right now (that's -6° for my Celsius peeps), and my apartment is drafty. And beyond that, why do I feel like I have a huge-assed ship waiting to crack in half and rain down on me? The beginning of the "Spring" Semester, as we at Cornell perversely mis-name it, always feels like this. You start the Fall a little jealous that your summer is over, but kind of eager to get moving. But you start the "Spring" in a breathless rush to recover from the holidays, to finish what didn't get done in the Fall, to fret about what didn't even get started in the Fall... And I've got a dissertation to complete, a job talk to finalize (but no complaints there, 'cuz I'm a lucky duck with that one), an essay to re-jig for possible publication, and a new class on International Cinema & Global Politics to prepare. We'll be watching and critiquing movies every day in this course—but then, as I just found out today, I've been assigned to a classroom with no A/V.
I said, brrr. It's cold in here! I said this must be Cornell up in the atmosphere. At least I love my job enough to complain about it affectionately.
Helping to lighten the mood, as always, will be the on-campus moviehouse Cornell Cinema, whose delicious January/February programming commenced tonight, with a little bit of Marlon B. and the old butter trick. In the coming weeks, I'm especially psyched about Blissfully Yours, from Thailand; Last Life in the Universe, a coproduction of Thailand, Japan, and Hong Kong; and Wong Kar-wai's Days of Being Wild. That one was playing at the Film Forum in New York City in November and December, and the trailer I saw there looked amazing. So it's Asian Film-a-Go Go till early February. My hopes are high, even as I'm treading that icy water.

there are no words for how much i love your mood indicator. why does grad school/dissertation writing have to feel this way?
in a segment i like to call, "why I wanna hurt me," to borrow your genius line, I'm planning to stay up really late tonight to take care of some diss buisnaz that i neglected in the more sensible hours of the day cause i was getting my hair did, shopping, and napping.
and your above picture for the bush inauguration makes me think of "the ring." i've been ignoring the inauguration insanity but i did hear that hilary duff was one of the musical acts--another reason she's on my celebrity F list. blah!

Birjand Kolah Farangi Citadel
The City of Birjand; The Baharestan of Science and Literature
The City of Birjand is 31704 km in the area. It is to the east of Iran, 500 km from Khorasan Razavi Capital and Sistan and Balouchestan, Kerman and Yazd. This City from the north is next to Ghayenat, to the south next to the Nehbandan and the County of Kerman, to the west is next to Sarayan and Khousf, and to the east is next to Darmian and the town of Sarbisheh. The City of Birjand has a centre part. From 1302 it was the first city in Iran which had an organized and piped water agency, recognized as the first water distribution system in Iran. The Shokatiyeh School was the third school after Dar-ol-Fonoon and Roshdiyeh in Tabriz which had new methods in teaching because of the strategic situation of this city. Birjand Airport was the third to be built in the country in 1312 after the Ghale-Morghi and Boushehr Airport. The United Kingdom and Russia Vice-Consuls worked there before the Second World War.
History of Birjand
Some of the people think Birjand was created by Bijan, Giv’s Son, but they haven’t got any documents. Some documents show Southern Khorasan was Achamanian, Ashkani and then Sassani dominion. Furthermore, Gabr-Abad area and Gabr-Abad Cemetery in Birjand and villages show that after the coming of Islam was created, some Zoroaster people were living there. For the first time in the 6th century of Hejrat, Yaghoot-Hemavi spoke about it. After the Yaghoot, Hafez-Abro in the 9th century of Hejrat was called Birjand, the Ghohestan city had agriculture (Zaffron, Cereal, Grape and Fruit) and trading works. The geographic situation of Birjand and inclement are geographic for agriculture life. On the other hand (Ghohestan) Khorasan is located between two disciplines of commercial and business obtaining the economics in the area. This was the reason for growing economics until the Safavi government and gradually given the commercial and business role to become a city. After a short time given the economics and relations, the output in Southern Khorasan rapidly replaced the Ghayen city. When the Safavi government came, Birjand was given the governing seat of Ghohestan, and Birjand government was in the Amiriyeh family (Khozaymeh) hands. The first development of the city of Birjand started at the end of the Safavi government and it started from Ghayenat. Increasing the population in the city was started by this government and from increasing the population the city grew with buildings and new towns from the north, northern-west and east.

Grayling Fire Department looking to add volunteer firefighters
Tue, 12/29/2020 - 12:43pm caleb
New chief says Grayling, like many other municipalities in Michigan, is facing shortage of manpower
Caleb Casey | Managing Editor
The Grayling Fire Department – a collaboration between the City of Grayling and Grayling Charter Township – is looking to add more volunteer firefighters to its roster.
City and township officials have said during recent meetings that the department’s volunteer firefighter ranks are down for a variety of reasons, including increased training time commitments and possible difficulties for businesses if employees have to leave work to fight fires.
Mark Brown, the new Grayling Fire Department Fire Chief, said the firefighter shortages are widespread across the state of Michigan.
Brown, who served as the Grayling Fire Department’s assistant fire chief before recently taking over as chief, said the department used to have a waiting list for people trying to serve as volunteer firefighters.
“It’s almost 180 degrees from that now,” Brown said. “The need is there for volunteers and on-call people.”
Brown said he thinks the biggest reason for the lack of volunteer firefighters is “the commitment to the department itself,” the time away from family, having to miss family time and events.
“It is a big commitment,” Brown said.
Brown said there is a significant amount of training involved, and the department does a lot more than just fight fires in Grayling; it serves neighboring communities and counties through mutual aid when needed, responds to vehicle crashes and other emergencies, and helps out the community with services such as traffic control during large events.
Brown said local employers are supportive in general of their employees serving as firefighters.
“I think in the community employers will generally support it. The majority have been able to get away from work. Businesses have been supportive,” Brown said.
Brown said he thinks people are willing to serve and it may just be a matter of “piquing interest” in people and continuing some of the department’s community outreach efforts.
Brown said anyone interested in serving as a volunteer firefighter can contact the Grayling Fire Department at (989) 348-6319. He encouraged interested people to make an appointment so they can talk with personnel, ask questions, and tour the station.

Prior permission for access to Harehope Quarry (Locality 2) should be obtained from Mr R. J. Huddleston, Tilcon Ltd, P.O. Box 5, Fell Bank, Birtley, Chester-le-Street, Durham, DH3 2ST, and for access to the Derwent Gorge (Locality 3A) from English Nature (Tel: o1661 845500).
Geological background
Excursion details
Locality 1, Middlehope Burn, Westgate, Upper Weardale
Locality 2, Harehope Quarry and Bollihope Burn, near Frosterley, Weardale
Locality 3, the Derwent Gorge, Muggleswick to Shotley Bridge
Locality 3A, The Derwent Gorge and associated Muggleswick Woods
The Derwent Gorge and associated Muggleswick Woods, containing areas of ancient oak-birch-ash woodland, form an extensive National Nature Reserve run by English Nature. Prior permission for access is required (see Logistics). The River Derwent forms incised meanders east of Muggleswick with steep or precipitous sides deeply cut into the upper Namurian bedrock. Much of the gorge is heavily forested, but there is access by a footpath that crosses the river at Lead Mill Bridge [NZ 054 488]. On the south side of the gorge the footpath starts beside the road at NZ 05444877 where there is limited parking beside large wooden gates. The site manager may be able to offer parking at Crooked Oak [NZ 05504 976] which is at the north end of the footpath. Follow the footpath into the gorge and note sporadic exposures of upper Namurian sandstone and shale. The slopes above the river are much affected by landslips, but several bedrock sections are visible either at or above the Upper Felltop Limestone. A short way down stream a high cliff beside the river at NZ 058492 shows a fine succession of interbedded sandstone and shale with calcareous beds including limestone, assigned to the Upper Felltop, to m below the top of the section. The sequence shows rapid lateral variation. A section of strata here is appended to the Geological Survey six-inch sheet NZ 04 NE. This cliff section is one of the best continuous exposures of upper Namurian strata in this region. A short distance down stream ruins of buildings and an old shaft mark the site of Silvertongue Mines where lead ore was extracted from north-trending veins in the 1840s (Durham, 1990).
Locality 3B, Allensford, a County Geological Site
Allensford, a County Geological Site; access by footpath only. Return to the A68 and proceed to Allensford. Take the Consett road just south of Allensford bridge and after a short distance turn left into the picnic area car park [NZ 078 502]. Walk back and cross the A68 to the marked footpath that starts between houses and runs up stream beside the River Derwent. Cross the Warnley Burn by the footbridge where a fine view of the thick Durham First Grit (upper Namurian) can be seen with waterfalls and a steep sided incised channel. Further up stream the grit forms the striking vertical cliffs of Ravens Crag, more that 1 o m high, where massive coarse-grained and pebbly, cross-bedded sandstones are well exposed.
Locality 3C, Shotley Bridge, County Geological Site
Shotley Bridge, County Geological Site; access by footpaths. From Allensford car park, turn left along the minor road to Consett. Turn left at the junction with the A691, continue to the bottom of the hill and turn sharply left into Shotley Grove Road [NZ 090 524]; limited parking is available beside the road. The River Derwent has cut a sharply incised channel into the Durham Second Grit (upper Namurian) from Shotley Grove down stream to the B6287 road bridge over the river in the centre of Shotley Bridge. The shallow, almost vertical-sided gorge can be seen at many places on both sides of the river, but is best viewed from the foot bridge [NZ 089 523]. The brown, coarse-grained, cross-bedded standstone is best examined at the south end of the section near to Shotley Grove.
Locality 4, the River Wear Gorge at Durham City
River Wear Gorge at Durham City; Coal Measures, Westphalian B (Johnson & Richardson, 1990). Access is by path through woodland owned mainly by the Dean and Chapter of Durham and Durham University. There are car parks near Durham city centre, but during the university vacations it is convenient to park in Quarry Heads Lane on the south side of the river [NZ 27304 154] (Figure 15.2). Cross the road and walk east towards the New Inn. Before the traffic lights a footpath on the edge of playing fields leads to the wooded banks of the River Wear. Descend towards the river and take the first footpath on the right over the stream by a small bridge. Above the path (A) is the Maudlin Sandstone overlying the thin Maudlin Coal (Figure 15.1), (Figure 15.2). Continue on this path to St Oswald's Church where it joins the lower path on the river bank. A short distance back along the lower path, a narrow way leads down the river bank to St Oswald's Well (B) where the Maudlin Sandstone is exposed in a low cliff The well is at the base of the sandstone and the thin Maudlin Coal can be seen at water level with clay seatearth below. Interbedded sandstone and shale are exposed under the wellhead. Continue down the river by the lower path to the white bridge (C) where the Maudlin and underlying Low Main Post sandstones can be seen. Behind the bridge a conduit drains the abandoned pumping shaft of Elvet Landsale Colliery, marked by a ring of masonry 50 m south of the bridge. Near the bridge two small faults take the Maudlin Sandstone to the top of the river bank on the west (Figure 15.2). A short distance further down river the Low Main Post Sandstone can be seen beside the path in an old quarried section. Past the next tributary stream, take the path up the river bank and the first path on the right to the flat wooded top of the bank. Another circle of masonry here marks the site of the shaft of Henry Pit, an early t 9th century colliery working the Hutton Coal on the south side of the river. Follow the path to the steep descent down the river bank (D) where the brown Maudlin Sandstone and succession below are well exposed and the Low Main Post can be seen low down on the other side of the gulley. These ancient sandstone quarries date from mediaeval times; one that worked both the Maudlin and the Low Main Post sandstones can be seen a little further along the path.
At Prebends' Bridge, the brown Maudlin Sandstone with conspicuous cross-bedding is seen in the track side leading to the bridge with the Maudlin Coal below the overhang at the base of the sandstone. A blocked adit entrance above the sandstone exposure is a drainage level from another early x gth century colliery. Slightly north, the Prebends' Bridge Fault, downthrowing 15 m south, crosses the gorge (Figure 15.2) and steeply dipping sandstone adjacent to the fault can be seen above the path to the right of the drainage level (E). On the north side of the fault all the Low Main Post Sandstone has been quarried at the top of the river bank leaving a hollow below South Street (F). Traces of the Low Main Coal, 0.45 m thick, are found below the quarry. Extensive exposures of shale and sandstone beside the mill (G) on the left bank of the river are near the Brass Thill coals, and the Brass Thill Shell Bed can be found in the shale.
On the right bank of the river, ancient quarrying for sandstone has been extensive from Framwellgate Bridge almost continuously to Elvet Bridge and these old workings are now deeply buried in spoil and rubbish (Figure 15.2). The Low Main Post Sandstone is seen directly below the City Wall and the Galilee Chapel, beside the high path under the Cathedral. This sandstone, 10 m thick, has been the sure foundation of the Cathedral for goo years.

Saturday, July 8th, 1916 (Transcription from: GA Circular No. 189. Session 1915-1916 p.2)== '''DIRECTOR''': A. L. LEACH, F.G.S. '''EXCURSION SECRETARY''': R. H. CHANDLER, Kearsbrook, Bedwell Road, Belvedere, Kent. Outward train Cannon Streets 1,28 p.m.; London Bridge, 1.31; due at Hayes 2,16 p.m. Return fare, 1s. 10d. Return train Hayes, 7.45 p.m. ; due at London Bridge, 8.33 p.m. Tea at Keston. Walking distance, 5 to 6 miles. The excursion will include the beautiful commons of Hayes and Keston on the Blackheath Beds, the escarpment of the Eocene Beds in the neighbourhood of West Wickham and Hayes, and the upper portion (normally dry) of the Ravensbourne Valley, with its tributary valleys incised upon the dip-slope of the Chalk. The bourne, which, after an interval of 33 years, has burst out about 1¼ miles above the ordinary source in the main valley, will also be visited. Attention will be directed to the two water-tables which exist in this district. The abnormal height of the water-level in the valley-floor has saturated the valley-gravel, given rise to the bourne, and inundated the large gravel-pit near Hayes. The upper water-table in the Tertiary Beds, 200 ft. higher, supplies a series of ponds at Reston. These drain northward into the Ravensbourne at Bromley. From Hayes Station walk up the valley to see the pond, 8 to 10 acres in extent, in the water-logged gravel-pit ¼-mile south-west of the station, and a smaller pit directly in the course of the bourne. Proceed to the cross-roads north of West. Wickham Church. The uprise of the bourne occurs ¼-mile south-west of this point, at about 220 O.D. In a meadow water oozes out over a considerable area and becomes concentrated into a stream, which early in June had a volume of 1½ million gallons per day. Walk up to West Wickham Church on an outlier of Thanet Sand, on which, at nearly 300 O.D., there is a mall permanent pond. From the outlier the tributary branches of the Ravensbourne Valley can be seen convergring towards the funicular gap in the Tertiary escarpment, Walk thence by a field path to Coney Hall and ascend the steep scarp of the Tertiary beds through a grove of ancient oak trees to Hayes Common, a characteristic illustration of the natural scenery of the Blackheath Beds. After tea the ponds on Keston Common will be visited, These are fed by a spring, " Cæsar's Well," thrown out by Woolwich Beds at about 410 O.D. In the adjacent Holwood estate are remains of an important British earthwork commonly called " Csar's Camp." Return over Hayes Common to Hayes Station. '''REFERENCES'''. Geological Survey Map.

An ode to eyewear design
Written by Dylan Jones
In hindsight I suppose it was unsurprising and perhaps somewhat inevitable that it was Elton John who really taught me about eyeglasses.
About fifteen years ago I found myself at the house in Windsor that Elton shares with his long term partner David Furnish. I was there to supervise a cover session for British GQ, and having got Elton to agree to the shoot, along with an interview, I wanted to make sure everything ran smoothly.
Plus, of course, I was desperate to see their house. Now, to say that the house was exquisite would be an understatement, although what I really loved was being shown Elton's wardrobe.
And along with the corridors of suits, the lines of shirts, the acres of shoes, and -- frankly -- the stationary pantechnicons of stage jewelry, what fascinated me most were the drawers and drawers of spectacles.
Inside Elton John's spectacular private photography collection
An 'extraordinary' collection of eyewear
Call them glasses, call them eyewear, call them what you will, but even then -- having already divested himself of hundreds of pairs in various sales -- Elton had a lot of them.
Spectacles he used for stagewear, for streetwear, and for wearing in makeshift photographic studies when being shot by illustrious Conde Nast men's magazines...

In fact, having spent a good half an hour sifting through Elton's extraordinary collection, a collection made up of everything from vintage pieces to Art Deco gems, via punk and glam right up to the modern day -- I realized that the history of eyeglasses could be told through Elton's career.
Dylan Jones: The making of a male style icon
To analyze his visual appeal is to look at a cavalcade of glasses which have been as important to his success as conical bras, say, were to Madonna's.
If you think of David Bowie, you think of Ziggy Stardust's red mullet; if you think of Elvis you think of his white rhinestone jumpsuit.
And if you think of Elton you no doubt think of one of the many pairs of outrageous glasses he has worn since he became famous.
Evolution of spectacles
You can see glasses that Elton John might have worn in the current exhibition at the Design Museum Holon in Israel.

The exhibition follows the development of eyeglasses from several different points of view: from the unique Claude Samuel Collection dating right back to the 17th century, to contemporary conceptual interpretations of eyeglasses by fifty Israeli designers highlighting the creative energy of the Israeli design scene. There is also a bit of virtual reality to bring things up to date.

Unique pieces ranging from Elton John and John Lennon style eyeglasses to authentic Eskimo bone eyewear are shown alongside sketches of eyewear designs made by Claude's father from the Pierre Cardin Fashion House. This show gives you a glimpse of what lies behind behind lens, so to speak.
'Whatever clues you can get about David Bowie are important': Understanding Bowie through his art
Speaking as someone who has needed to wear glasses since the age of ten, I know how important eyewear is.

Not only does it act as a disguise, but it also has the innate ability to make you look smarter than you are, dumber than you are, or, if need be, to completely alter your personality.
Spectacles can make you look richer, they can make you look poorer, and in the case of Elton John, a man who has more experience in this area than anyone who has ever set foot in the eyewear section of a department store, can make you look like an international superstar.
One of a kind by Yasmin Vinograd Credit: Design Museum Holon
Overview, an exhibition that traces the design evolution of eyewear, is currently on show at Design Museum Holon until April 29, 2017.

Abandoned palaces in Poland make for haunting images
Barry Neild, CNN • Updated 28th July 2014
(CNN) — Patrycja Makowska likes to give enigmatic names to the extraordinarily beautiful photographs she shoots of crumbling palaces.
But that's not where the enigma of her work ends.
Despite creating alluring images of abandoned buildings, she's determined to keep their locations a mystery.
"Places reflect our soul, tell the forgotten story of love, disaster, war, as well as ordinary life," Makowska, a former history teacher from Poland, tells CNN as she tries to explain her shroud of secrecy.
"Everything passes, even the power of past times is often forgotten. And that's why I don't give any addresses, because often these places are destroyed and devastated, it's better for them to have been forgotten."
Not, however, forgotten by Makowska's cameras.
She uses old analog Russian photo equipment and lenses, plus some more modern Canon and Nikon equipment to create images that pay homage to the original grandeur of these baroque structures.
With otherworldly titles such as "Ethereal Dreams" and "Lost Under the Surface," her photographs have an unrealistic quality more closely associated with paintings -- but the incredible detail on display would take more than a lifetime's worth of brushstrokes to recreate.
'Urban explorers' journey through abandoned buildings
Swirling spiral staircases
The images show vast ornate ballrooms, swirling spiral staircases and elegant chapels strewn with rubble.
Sunlight shafts bore in through broken windows or holes in roofs. Sometimes an abandoned toy or chair adds a poignant human touch to the dereliction.
Makowska, who lives in Warsaw, took up photography about 12 years ago. Her first subject was a ruined medieval castle in the southern Polish town of Muszyna. During stays in the UK and Iceland she says she realized there was "magic" in forgotten places and began seeking them out in her home country.
Finding her subjects takes effort, she says.
"The location of these places is hard work, the research involves maps, historical books and old guides, and talking to people who live in the areas of the buildings."
Her refusal to identify where these buildings will at least prevent them from becoming "ruin porn" destinations -- a status deplored by some places trying shake off economic decline.
Makowska, who now works in IT, says she has been inspired by people's reactions to her work into pursuing further projects.
On her list is nature photography -- "mountains, meadows and sea" -- and documenting "URBEX," the sometimes risky global trend of urban exploration that occasionally involves trespassing on dangerous structures.
She also wants to tackle human subjects.
"This would be a breakthrough for me because so far my work hasn't involved any people or portraits."

Vistara Inked Codeshare Agreement With Which Of The Following Company
Codeshare flights offer comfortable connections to and from a daily flight that JAL already offers directly from Tokyo Narita to Delhi. Japan Airlines and Vistara flights operate from the same terminal in Delhi (T3). “We are pleased to strengthen our partnership with Japan Airlines with this codeshare agreement. This partnership helps us provide more comfort and choice to customers with a full network,” said Sanjiv Kapoor, Chief Strategy and Commercial Officer at Vistara. George Ettiyil, Lufthansa Group Airlines` senior sales manager in South Asia, added: “It is Lufthansa`s obligation to offer its Indian customers world-class international travel experiences and allow them to use their preferred mileage program on codeshare routes. By working with Vistara, we will strengthen and strengthen our position as the first and most popular European airline in India – a country that will become the third largest air transport market in a few years”, “Ideal for those with at least a one-year investment horizon These two airlines have entered into a codeshare agreement in 2019. A codeshare agreement allows an airline to sell flight seats from other airlines on its distribution network. In a statement on Monday, Vistara said the two airlines plan to rapidly expand the scope of the agreement so that frequent flyers from both airlines can earn miles/points when traveling on other airlines` networks and enjoy other benefits. “The sale under the codeshare agreement will now be phased in across all channels and major GDS systems for flights from December 16, 2019,” the press release said. Due to Vistara`s codeshare agreement with Japan Airlines (JAL), flights between Tokyo and India will be more frequent.
“Under the new agreement, customers benefit from 126 weekly flights connecting ten major Indian cities to Lufthansa via Delhi/Lufthansa and Vistara in the final phase to allow customers to collect miles with both airlines,” the German airline said in a statement. Lufthansa said it had entered into a “comprehensive codeshare agreement” between Vistara. “The number of passengers travelling between Japan and India has increased over time,” said Hideki Oshima, Executive Director of Japan Airlines. “By strengthening the partnership with Vistara, we will be able to provide our common customers with better access to the network. And we want to continue to work with Vistara to provide additional opportunities for both airlines. In addition, there is a network of approximately 27 interline partnerships with different airlines. Under the agreement, Flyers will be able to book tickets on all channels and major GDS systems from February 28, 2019, effective February 26, 2019. As part of the agreement, Japan Airlines will complete the “JL” design code on approximately 32 Vistara flights to Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Pune. JAL and Vistara have already entered into an Interline/Through Check-in partnership and the two airlines signed a Memorandum of Understanding in September 2017 to pursue business opportunities together, the statement said. Vistara has entered into a codeshare agreement with German airline Lufthansa, the sixth such contract with an international airline, as the full-service national airline tries to expand its overseas network. The two airlines already have an interline partnership.
Vistara is the second airline after Air India to have a codeshare agreement with Lufthansa. “It is planned to add additional Vistara network destinations under the codeshare agreement in 2020 and beyond,” the press release said. Vistara codeshare agreement with which of the following companies? Vistara and British Airways announced a codeshare agreement on Thursday that will allow passengers to access the networks of both airlines.

The Baltimore Sun newspaper has a rich history of photojournalism. The Sun has employed a long line of award winning photographers. To pay tribute to these photographers, The Darkroom will periodically take a look back at the body of work by some of these photographers whose love of their craft helped document the lives of people from the backstreets of Baltimore to the four corners of the globe.

One of those award-winning photojournalists was Paul Hutchins. He came to The Sun in 1951 and worked in the advertised department for 10 years before joining the photography staff. During his tenure on the staff Hutchins was the Baltimore Press Photographer Association’s photographer-of-the-year four consecutive years in a row.
He covered the Orioles extensively and one his best known images is of Brooks Robinson flying in the air towards pitcher Dave McNally when the Orioles clinched the 1966 World Series. In addition Hutchins covered the Baltimore Colts for ten years. An assignment he truly enjoyed. One his favorite pictures was of an airborne Vikings’ player soaring over Colts’ player Mike Curtis as he dove at his legs.
Hutchins also worked for a number of years on The Sun Magazine applying his keen eye and artistic talents to its pages. Paul shot a number of photo essays for the magazine. One such essay titled “Patterns in Black and White” was aerial images of scenes around the Baltimore region after a snowfall. The cover image was a striking picture of Patterson Park and the surrounding neighborhood, which ran on the January 20, 1974 cover.
At the age of 67 Paul retired from The Baltimore Sun. He currently lives with his wife Dot in Baltimore County.

These 20 photographs just scratch the surface of an archive that spans nearly 4 decades of photojournalism. When I visit Baltimore, I find myself going through the stack of Kodak boxes that store thousands of images captured through the lens of my Dads Nikon. Some tell a story, some bring back fond memories, and some are just plain funny. I seem to run into his work wherever I go when visiting Baltimore. Restaurants, Bars, office buildings, and the Camden Club, to name a few. Dad included me in his assignments whenever he could. At the age of 13, I went to my first Colts game and watched from the sidelines. I was with him when he had to take pictures of a stunt plane performing over Baltimore. We were in a single engine plane and he was hanging out of the door to get the perfect shot. All at 3000 feet and ignoring his fear of heights! Paul Hutchins spent his career photographing larger than life characters, but in my eyes, there was none larger than him.
Thomas Graves
A fine man and a fine photographer. It was a pleasure and an honor working with Paul. My best wishes to him.

Washington Capitals 2013-14 Preseason Season Roundtable, Part I
September 27, 2013 by Dave Nichols
Opening night of the 2013-14 season for the Washington Capitals is less than a week away. With that in mind, the District Sports Page Caps staff and contributors will take a look at several key areas that will affect the Caps season as they get ready to start play in the newly-formed Metropolitan Division.
The second half of our roundtable will post Monday.
Our panelists: Dave Nichols, Editor-in-Chief of District Sports Page; Katie Brown, Caps Staff Writer for DSP; Abram Fox, former Caps Page Editor at DSP, Erika Schnure, RinkRebel.com and DSP contributor; Ted Starkey, Caps author and contributor to DSP; Sky Kerstein, 106.7 The Fan and DSP contributor; and Harry Hawkings, RocktheRed.com.
1) Grade the off-season and why?
Dave: C. GM George McPhee was stealthy in his acquisition of center Mikhail Grabovski, waiting until well into the free agency period to nab the veteran pivot for a bargain one-year, $3 million deal. Grabovski should be sufficiently motivated to post big numbers and keep his nose clean, neither of which he did last season at Toronto coach Randy Carlyle misused the prime puck possessor as a third line grinder. But Grabo was the only acquisition of note.
I really would have liked to have seen a veteran defenseman with size brought in. Losses of Matt Hendricks and Jeff Schultz are inconsequential on the ice, though Hendricks was a real good guy in the room.
Katie: Hard to put a number on this. They kept the core together and only lost Mike Ribeiro and Matt Hendricks, and snatched Mikhail Grabovski after the initial free agent frenzy (which we know George McPhee doesn’t fall for). I’ll give the offseason a 6 out of 10.
Abram: C. Our current era of grade inflation notwithstanding, this team had an average offseason, and that’s a C. I’m not convinced that this team will be better than in the 2013 season (I refuse to refer to a season that only ran in 2013 as 2012-13). However, they won’t be measurably worse. Mikhail Grabovski won’t be as good as last season’s Mike Ribeiro, but he’ll probably be equal to this season’s Ribeiro.
Only two things of note happened. First, Ribeiro left as a UFA, and Grabovski was signed a few months later to replace him. Second, the Caps signed steady defenseman Karl Alzner to a four-year contract extension. They didn’t make any real splashes in free agency or through trades, and the other “big” names to leave the team – Matt Hendricks, Jeff Schultz – were both eminently polarizing and eminently replaceable. Essentially, this is the same team as last season.
Erika: The offseason is tough to grade for me. I love the acquisition of Mikhail Grabovski but I do think it was a bit of a mistake to let Mike Ribeiro walk. On the other hand, the Capitals unloaded Jeff Schultz (which is a move I’ve personally been advocating for some time). Based on the transactions made, I’d give the Caps a B-.
Ted: Capitals get a B for their offseason work, primarily upgrading from a grade of D, when they signed Mikhail Grabovski, who was bought out by Toronto after last season. Washington’s biggest shortcoming was center with Mike Ribeiro’s departure to Phoenix, and the indications early in free agency is that they would use Brooks Laich as their second-line center.But instead of a step backwards, the Capitals at least kept pace with last year’s club by plugging in Grabovski, who should rebound nicely in Washington after being marginalized in the last stint of his tenure in Toronto.
Sky: I give them a C because they lost a huge member of their locker room in Matt Hendricks and a solid second line center in Mike Ribeiro. Ribeiro was the first half MVP, helped Troy Brouwer have a career year and was a key contributor to the best PP in the NHL and don’t forget, half of Ovi’s goals came on the PP. Grabovski is a bit of a wild card. I believe he will help them more 5-on-5, but the PP could be an issue and he has always been known to really struggle when adversity hits and adversity hits every team during the season. I also think not being able to get another top-4 defenseman really hurts.
Harry: I give the offseason an A-. Once again, George McPhee avoided the crazy deals of the opening period of free agency, instead waiting out the market to sign his players. Letting Matt Hendricks and Mike Ribeiro sign for big money elsewhere was absolutely the right move, and in their stead McPhee signed a player who is younger and better than them both. The only think that keeps McPhee from earning an A is that he didn’t bring in a top-four defenseman – but more on that later.
2) What is your single biggest area of concern?
Dave: The Defense. This defense is top-heavy, with Mike Green, Karl Alzner and John Carlson as strong as any three deep in the league. But John Erskine is miscast in the second pairing, though he’s still the only regular on defense that brings any snarl. Promising youngsters Dmitry Orlov, Tomas Kundratek and Connor Carrick will bide their time in Hershey as the undersized Jack Hillen and journeyman Steve Oleksy continue to see time as the third pair. Unless the youngsters play their way into the lineup, the third pairing is going to continue to be a problem spot.
Katie: At this point it has to be the 4D position. The team is pretty set as far as forwards go, but that isn’t a terrible problem to have. I’m concerned about John Erskine being regularly torched by other teams. He’s a big guy and willing to throw down when necessary, but he’s not that fast and not getting any lighter on his feet.
Abram: Defense. It was an area that needed improvement. Washington has three NHL caliber defensemen – Mike Green, John Carlson, and Alzner – and everyone else is replacement-level. John Erskine, Jack Hillen, Tomas Kundratek, and Steven Oleksy are decent enough to take a shift in the big league, but the thought of any of them earning second-pairing minutes should induce feelings of dread in Washington fans. The Caps have a few prospects in the minors that could be serviceable pros one day, but unless Dmitry Orlov can make the jump to the big squad, the puck is going to be spending a lot of time in Washington’s end.
Erika: My biggest concern is that the coaching staff are still playing around with players’ positions. Moving Ovechkin back to left wing and constantly flipping him around does him no favors. Moving Brooks Laich to the ever-vacant second-line center made me a little nervous. Considering that Marcus Johansson actually is a center, why not put him in that position? Laich has played center in the past but I still don’t believe him a “natural” center. The constant position switching causes some concern.
Ted: After having traded for Martin Erat at the trade deadline last season, wingers are still a bit of a concern for Washington. Once a cornerstone of the team’s strength, the depth was tested with the departure of Alex Semin last season and there was a glaring need to replace his scoring threat. The Capitals picked up veteran Erat from Nashville for their 2012 first-round pick, Filip Forsberg, and Erat’s brief tenure so far in Washington was marked with injuries – the last being self-inflicted when he was barreled into by Alex Ovechkin at Madison Square Garden in Game 4 of the playoffs.
It will be interesting to see how Erat fills in his role on the second line – and how 2010 first-round Evgeny Kuznetsov will figure into the team’s plans once his KHL season ends and is eligible to come over and sign with the Capitals.
Sky: Complacency. This team thinks they can win just by the skill on their team and they’ve been able to walk into the playoffs each season being in the Southeast Division. They went 13-3 in the Southeast last season, which enabled them to make the playoffs, but in 55 games, including the playoffs, they only had four regulation wins against playoff teams. Two of those wins were against a Montreal team that was eliminated swiftly in the first round, another was against Toronto which came back and put up a fight before eliminated in the first round and the fourth was against the Rangers in game one.
The Caps won seven games against their new division teams last season and four of those were against Carolina. They can’t get off to a bad start and need to beat playoff teams this season, something they didn’t have to do in previous years to make the playoffs.
Harry: My single biggest area of concern is the defensive corps. Washington has very good defensemen in Karl Alzner, Mike Green, and John Carlson, but there is a cavernous drop off following those three. Jack Hillen lacks the size and great defensive ability that you look for in a lower-pair defenseman, while Steve Oleksy is bound to fall back to earth. What’s more, John Erskine is currently a top-four option on this team, which is not going to cut it. There is young potential in Tomas Kundratek, Cam Schilling, and Dmitry Orlov, but none of them have proved anything yet.
3) What do you expect out of Ovechkin this season?
Dave: This is a big year for the Captain. He’ll be in Greece over the weekend as the first Russian athlete to carry the Olympic flame as it journeys to Sochi for the games in February. He’s not only expected to be the best player on his NHL team and a face for the franchise, but the best player for his country as they host the Winter Games after such a disappointing showing in Vancouver.
Hopefully Ovi is as motivated for the Caps season as he is to represent his country. Barring injury, I think he’ll be in the 40-goal range, and count me as not as concerned about losing Mike Ribeiro on the power play. The power play unit might not be quite as prolific as last season — it would have a hard time repeating if Ribeiro was here or not — but it will still be a major strength for the Caps this season.
Katie: More of the same from last season, though he won’t win the Hart or Richard. He flourished under Oates even in the shortened season, so I expect that to continue. Ovi hasn’t really ever had a rapport with a coach the way he does with Oates, and that’s fun to watch.
Abram: I expect a below-average season. Certainly it will be tough to replicate his MVP year. On top of an expected regression, 2014 is an Olympic year. Unquestionably the biggest Russian winter sports athlete in the English-speaking world, not to mention in his home nation, Ovechkin is the face of the Sochi Games. His focus from now until February is the gold medal. Once that’s done he may be able to re-focus onto the NHL, but until then, his performance will be lacking.
Erika: Ovechkin did take a while to warm up last season, but I chalk that up to having not one, not two, but three brand new coaches. Ovechkin seems to have a great rapport with Oates, and I think that with the right line combination, Ovechkin can easily silence the naysayers and get back to his usual impressive form.
Ted: Ovechkin should have a good campaign, as unlike his tenure under the late Bruce Boudreau and Dale Hunter eras, he is allowed to take more chances offensively, and as a result, should put up some good numbers.
Like the past season where he led the league with 32 goals in 48 games, you should see Ovechkin score goals in bunches – as well as dry spells where his production drops significantly – and he should be able to record his
first 40-goal campaign since 2010-11, and perhaps even hit the 50-goal mark this year.
Sky: Everyone says he did so well playing on right wing but Ovechkin only had half his goals there. The other half was on the power play. I think he’ll have around 30 goals due to the fact this power play won’t be as good as a year ago. One thing — defenses adjust. Another, not having Ribeiro will really hurt them. Grabovski isn’t as good as Ribeiro is with the extra man.
Harry: I expect a solid season from Alex Ovechkin. He won’t approach the absurd power play numbers that he did last year simply because the unit as a whole will regress, but his switch to right wing has invigorated him for now. He’ll need to adapt again as teams key on him in his new position, but given full health, I would expect between 35-38 goals and about 80 points.
4) Are you satisfied with the goaltending situation?
Dave: For the most part. Braden Holtby has a lot on his plate this season, as he’s being considered for the biggest job in Canada: Olympic goalie. If he plays well in the first half of the season, he could very well find his way to Sochi. Holtby is an athletic marvel and a terrific puck-handler, but his aggressiveness still hinders him at times.
Neuvirth is steady as a backup, but on the occasions he’s had to steal the No. 1 job for one reason or another it just hasn’t worked for him. He could end up a trade chip if Holtby continues his stranglehold on the top spot. Philipp Grubauer, who will start the season in Hershey, might end up being the best of all of them. Caps goalie coach Olie Kolzig loves the kid.
Katie: Who wouldn’t be? The Caps have two young, talented goalies on their roster for less than a $5M cap hit. Can’t beat that. I think eventually Neuvirth will want to be the number one guy somewhere else, and move on, but for now, the Capitals are in a good situation.
Abram: Yes. Between Braden Holtby and Michal Neuvirth, there’s at least one quality NHL goalie there. I definitely feel good about Holtby, and Neuvirth’s not too shabby either. Neither man is Henrik Lundqvist or Jonathan Quick, but very few goalies are. I also like Grubauer in the minors. There’s some pretty good depth at the position.
Erika: The goaltending situation seems to be a bit awkward at the moment. Holtby appears to be the clear number one, especially now with Kolzig becoming head goaltending coach, since Holtby essentially is a young Kolzig. Last year, I was definitely feeling some vibes that Neuvirth was extremely dissatisfied and annoyed playing second fiddle to Holtby. It should be interesting to see how the goaltending situation shakes out, particularly in terms of the trade market. As far as the minor leagues go, I’m very excited for Grubauer to eventually make his way up (I’d expect some call-ups this year) and make a big impact.
Ted: While young, the Capitals are very deep in goal, and it will be interesting to see how the depth plays out over the next 12 months.
Braden Holtby is certainly the starter under Adam Oates, as the 24-year-old got the bulk of the work last year under the new coach. Holtby has shown flashes of brilliance at times, and while not quite at the elite level of goaltending yet, he is a very capable and solid workhorse that should provide the Caps good goaltending this season.
The big question, if not now, is the backup. Michal Neuvirth, age 25, is certainly a more-than-capable backup with good skill, but the emergence of 21-year-old Philipp Grubauer in Hershey will certainly bring a tough decision sooner or later for George McPhee, as it will become impractical to have three young NHL-ready goaltenders on the roster as soon as Grubauer gets more seasoning. With the organization very high on the young German goaltender, it seems that sooner or later, Neuvirth could be the odd man out barring injury to one of the other two netminders.
Sky: Yes, they have three goalies capable of start in the NHL, that’s all you can ask for. I think Holtby will have a great season.
Harry: I am satisfied with the goaltending. Braden Holtby has shown to be a very capable goaltender at this level and Michal Neuvirth is a fully capable backup with starter potential should Holtby falter. I still expect Neuvirth to be traded at some point, but goaltending is my area of least concern right now.

Suzanne Matson received a 2012 National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellowship. The novel she was writing (and read from at a previous FinNALA event at FinnFest in Minneapolis) concerning Finns has morphed and shape-changed so that it's a wider picture now, but it still has some of the Montana/Finnish immigrant "DNA" in it. An excerpt from that manuscript was what she applied with to the NEA. Here’s a link to the release: http://arts.gov/news/news11/ArtworksI-GrantAnnounce.html
Sheila Packa just edited an anthology of 75 writers in the Lake Superior area, Migrations: Poetry & Prose for Life's Transitions. For more info, www.wildwoodriver.com
She has also been working on some video poems with Kathy McTavish. Links to those are on Sheila's blog, www.sheilapacka.com.
A Poem by Sheila Packa (It is also in the anthology noted above):
Memory / The Mine
I return but it’s all excavation — me
an employee of the organization.
I remember a long road past a gate,
a dead landscape.
Dust. Noise. First the crusher and then
where I worked, the agglomerator
with conveyors to the trains.
First stop, the dry.
A sink like a Roman fountain.
Clothes blackened by taconite, yellow and white
hard hats, coveralls, steel toed boots,
safety glasses, the whistle
starting and stopping each shift.
For this, I’d propped myself on a ledge
for the paycheck.
Steel beams, high voltage. Dripping grease.
One of the crew leaning on high pressure
water hoses, blowing dust out of the nose
into a handkerchief, pushing spillage
down the sloping concrete floors
below rolling furnaces,
swallowing salt tablets from dispensers.
On a swing shift, counting
days till the long weekend
taking smoke breaks, and calculating
what falling asleep on graveyards might cost.
All night and day the trains came to load
and carry to the ore docks.
In the lunch room I took from my lunch pail
a paperback. Kept myself awake
with coffee from my thermos
avoided pellets and their third degree burns
stared into the middle distance
not the ends but the means —
the first place I’d worked
below the surface.

Many of you already know about the "special Finnish" News which appears under the Finnish Language News Service. This News is broadcast at Second Level Finnish as defined by the European Standards. It is available at: << http://www.yle.fi/selkouutiset/index.php?1334 >> While this service has been highlighted here before, I am more than sure, it seems about time to repeat it's availability. (Please correct the day if you have to when you access the service.)

Lennard Sillanpää is working to establish an annual Midsummer Concert in Ottawa as the President of the Nordic Society. The organization is looking for sponsors for the event which promises to draw enthusiastic crowds.
Lauri Anderson will be a guest writer at Iowa Wesleyan College in March of 2012. He will lecture in classes, speak at an assembly, read from his published works in various settings, and sign his books at the bookstore.
A Poem by M. L. King
I served reform where lords conform
and shook the party’s tables, mobbed
with ranks of famished youth I begged
to leave before their dreams were squashed
by tanks that marshaled for the state.
Despite my vote against that force,
gunshots and sirens laced with screams
resounded through the capital.
Confined at home by upset chairs,
I gauged the wails.
Guarded now, I
putt on the porch. Inside I play
chess with my wife, talk to cassettes
our grandkid’s toys conceal, until
my death, when cops beat friends who mourn
outside; shrewd comrades run the tapes
to foreign press who bind my words.

A Poem by Lisbeth Holt
It is early winter now with waning hours of mortality
Yet what I’ve not seen or where I’ve not been
Fate offers to me as enticing possibility
And I cannot turn away, for it is the soul’s choice.
As long as my feet can carry me,
As long as my mind remains curious and free,
As long as I feel my heart will expand
I say “yes” to the invitations,
Begin anew the explorations.
It is early winter, I cannot deny it.
I glance in the mirror at the faint roadmap of lines;
From out of the twilight, they suddenly appear
(And in flickering candlelight, they disappear).
What is there to fear in these tiny furrows anyway?
Why foolishly rail against our common fate?
It is unpretentious beauty that endures after all:
Adventures of the soul, love richly blessed,
Life a beautiful pattern of connectedness.

Random Pop Culture Question of the Week
Hero-Villain Cross Overs
Random Pop Culture Question of the Week is a bi-weekly journey into the headspace of the Review to Be Named gang, in which a pop-culture question is posed, answers are sought, and discussions are generated about issues and hypotheticals from throughout the realm of pop culture.
Who doesn't love a great villain? And right now I'm not talking about nuanced, shades of grey, you can maybe kind of see where they're coming from characters. I'm talking about the true bastards. The ones you love to hate. The characters that make you seethe with so much anger that it bubbles over and extends to the actors that portray them. What fictional antagonist that fits that aforementioned bill would you most like to see get their comeuppance at the hands of any other character from a different fictional property? Let the sweet, sweet revenge crossovers begin...
I freely admit this is an obvious answer, but it popped immediately into my head when I read this question and the longer it lingered there, the more it excited me. Bryan Cranston has been rumored to be in consideration for the role of Lex Luthor in the Man of Steel sequel, and while I think that would be a good bit of casting, I’m also not remotely excited for the film. If I’m going to see Cranston match wits with the Dark Knight, I want him to do it as Walter White. I know this continues my ongoing trend of just screaming “BATMAN!!!” every week regardless of the question, there’s actually a world where Walter White is a great Batman foe. Every Batman villain is a dark mirror for the hero, and Walt’s pride and obsessive need to control look a lot like Bruce Wayne’s. Additionally, they are both brilliant minds who hide their greatest (or worse) selves behind mild-mannered alter-egos. And after all the terrible things we’ve seen Walter White do, it would be pretty rewarding to see him get punched by Batman.
The other head-to-head that came immediately to mind also has a weird resonance in the casting world: I’d love to see Sherlock Holmes take down Hannibal Lecter. Thomas Harris’ novels are obviously indebted to Arthur Conan Doyle’s work, but where the latter only once found a villain who could truly match his hero, the former’s lasting legacy is creating an all-time great villain. Steven Moffat has announced the third series of his Sherlock will guest star Lars Mikkelsen, brother of Mads, who is currently playing Lecter on NBC’s criminally underseen masterpiece. So while neither of my tete-a-tete’s is likely to ever actually occur, I might get somewhat close in both instances within the next few years. Which is good, because I really don’t think James Bond is going to fight Darth Vader anytime soon. Unless...
For some reason the first villain I thought of didn’t come from Batman. The second villain I thought of came for Batman. Weird, I know. One villain I wish got her comeuppance is Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. She stands out because she isn’t a super villain, she’s just a horrible person who can exist in the real world, which makes her all the more terrifying/dislikable. The way she treats her patients without the film is both angering and frustrating -- what a better life it would be for Murphy and his pals if they were treated like human beings!
So how would I punish her? I’d send her to an all-women hospital for the criminally insane that got a troublesome new inmate -- Harley Quinn. While The Joker may be the most obvious answer to go with someone who would provide a miserable existence, Quinn works better since she herself was a psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum. Quinn taking down a symbol of an oppressive authority would be satisfying and would likely be fairly entertaining. Quinn’s unhinged nature, part of what has made her so popular, would play well in a hospital setting (obviously) and having the rigidly strict Ratched clashing with her strict style would be a fun, almost Looney Tunes-esque, battle of wits.
Michael:
There are really two types of villains for me - the obvious, and the hidden. The first is the antagonist of the comic book, the genre picture, the role-playing game. He is evil, his henchmen are orcs or goblins or dudes with heavily scarred faces, and they twist their mustaches and toss around their wizard staffs made of scarred and blackened oak. These guys are irrepressibly evil, and everybody knows it. They're fun.
The villains I truly hate though, the ones that make me grit my teeth and toss aside books in a rage, are so much worse. These are the villains who only the protagonists know are truly evil, and inevitably, they use their power or pathos to convince everyone that the hero is actually the villain, and any sense of goodness and hope in the world goes out the window.
For me, the perfect representative of this depravity is Dolores Umbridge, bane of middle-schoolers and destroyer of worlds. Never has a character shaken my nerves more since reading those books, her perfectly benign (even friendly!) exterior never giving away her secrets, except to our know-it-all protagonists. So how to counter someone whose best talent is hiding their true intentions? Someone who can see past the surface and fuck with the insides. The Mule, of Foundation fame, is maybe fiction’s most subtle operator, a man who alters the trajectory of the universe by implanting small changes in the minds of his conquered enemies. What better way to upend a good manipulator than by replacing them with a great one, and a more ambitious one at that. And it’s still probably a nicer fate than getting carried away by centaurs.

Secret chamber found inside King Tut's famous tomb may solve hunt for Nefertiti - NZ Herald
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=12247394

By: Jamie Seidel
Egyptologists are on the verge of solving one of history's biggest mysteries — the location of Queen Nefertiti's elusive tomb.
Tantalising radar shadows have revived hopes that one of history's most beautiful, and controversial, women — Queen Nefertiti — may indeed be buried in secret chambers within King Tut's famous tomb.
British and Egyptian Egyptologists earlier this week conducted a three-day radar scan of the world-famous tomb discovered by Howard Carter in 1922.
Upon opening its still-sealed door, he declared he saw "wonderful things". Everywhere was the glint of gold and priceless examples of some of history's most exquisite art.
But, since then, the tomb has presented something of a mystery.
It was immediately odd that so many of the statues attributed as Pharoah Tutankhamun had hips and breasts. And more recent, closer, examination reveals a significant proportion of the artwork to have been rebadged, and repurposed, from previous rulers.
And that includes his iconic burial mask.
In 2015, a ground-penetrating scan of the 3300-year-old tomb was conducted by controversial radar technician Hirokatsu Watanabe. He declared he had detected, with "90 per cent certainty", several hollow spaces along with "metallic" and "organic" objects.
The world erupted in excitement.
Could another extraordinary discovery be tantalisingly within reach?
Would one of Egypt's greatest mysteries finally be solved?
Egyptologists were immediately doubtful. His radar scan images seemed uninterpretable — just a mass of blue lines with the occasional red dot. Nobody other than Watanabe seemed able to determine what the scans revealed.
The locations of speculative chambers have been supported by infra-red and radar scans of Tut's tomb. Photo / Getty Images
So, the Egyptian Antiquities department organised a second scan — this time with the assistance of National Geographic — in 2016. It found … nothing.
"If we had a void, we should have a strong reflection," geophysicist Dean Goodman of GPR-Slice software told National Geographic News. "But it just doesn't exist."
THIRD TIME LUCKY?
The Egypt Independent reports the latest scan of Tut's tomb concluded on Wednesday.
Egyptian technicians from the Centre for Sound Vibration and Smart Structures at the Faculty of Engineering, Ain Shams University, joined a team from the English Terravision Centre to scour the rock for any trace of hidden chambers.
It's part of an assessment that is due to be completed by the end of the year.
Egyptian archaeologist Francis Amin told the Egypt Independent the most recent radar survey, conducted by the University of Turin, had revealed spaces behind the walls.
But the resolution of the images did not confirm if these were man-made or natural cavities in the rock.
"The results of previous radar surveys have found evidence of the existence of spaces and organic material behind the walls of the cemetery," Amin said. He added that specialist chemists will need to help analyse the radar survey results.
BOY KING OR PR STUNT?
Pharaoh Tutankhamun's tomb doesn't follow the well-established pattern applied to other Egyptian god-kings. It's unusually small. And it is shaped more like a burial chamber intended for a queen. And why do so many of the statues and images attributed as King Tutankhamun have feminine hips and breasts?
British Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves put these clues together, including the discovery of partially erased royal names, to suggest the tomb — and much of its contents — was initially intended for Tut's stepmother, Nefertiti.
Dr Reeves' 2015 academic paper The Burial of Nefertiti quickly grabbed international attention.
About the same time, a high-resolution 3D laser scan made to help preserve the tomb indicated there may be "hollows" hidden behind the tomb's plasterwork and paintings. Were these sealed doors?
"The implications are extraordinary: for, if digital appearance translates into physical reality, it seems we are now faced not merely with the prospect of a new, Tutankhamun-era storeroom to the west; to the north appears to be signalled a continuation of tomb … and within these uncharted depths an earlier royal interment — that of Nefertiti herself, celebrated consort, coregent, and eventual successor of pharaoh Akhenaten," Dr Reeves wrote.
While the evidence was circumstantial, it was enough to pique the interest of the Egyptian Antiquities department to invite Dr Reeves — and others — to examine the tomb more closely.
"Each piece of evidence on its own is not conclusive but put it all together, and it's hard to avoid my conclusion," Dr Reeves said. "If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but if I'm right, this is potentially the biggest archaeological discovery ever made."
Dr Reeves has been chasing Nefertiti's ghost for almost two decades.
In 2000, Dr Reeves led a radar examination of the ground around Tutankhamun's tomb in a search for Nefertiti's burial. He reported finding a "void". But digs failed to locate anything.
His continued enthusiasm, however, has proven contagious.
In 2016, Egypt's tourism minister enthused: "We do not know if the burial chamber is Nefertiti or another woman, but it is full of treasures … It will be a 'Big Bang' — the discovery of the 21st century."
So far, the Big Bang hasn't happened.

And Egyptian Antiquities Minister Khaled El-Enany has insisted no invasive exploration would be allowed to damage the priceless tomb. "It is essential to perform more scans using other devices and more technical and scientific methods," Mr El-Enany said.
The challenge has since been one of developing the technology capable of achieving that task.
Former Egyptian antiquities minister and high-profile archaeological personality Zahi Hawass has long been a sceptic of the hidden chamber theory.
"If there is any masonry or partition wall, the radar signal should show an image," he reportedly told National Geographic News.
"We don't have this, which means there is nothing there."

AP traces child labor from Southeast Asia’s palm oil fields to major brands, Girl Scout cookies
For the third installment of their groundbreaking investigation into labor abuse in Asia’s palm oil industry, reporters Robin McDowell and Margie Mason linked child labor to the supply chains of the makers of popular cereals, candies and ice creams, including KitKats, Oreos and Cap’n Crunch. They also traced the oil to that most American treat: Girl Scout cookies.
Joined by photographers Binsar Bakkara and Mark Humphrey, and video journalist Allen Breed, their reporting found that some tens of thousands of children toil in the palm fields, some kept from school and forced to work for free or for little pay. Some are trafficked.
The framing of the story — through the eyes of a young girl in the fields in Indonesia and a Tennessee Girl Scout campaigning to have palm oil removed from the cookies — resonated with readers; reaction on social media led the Girl Scouts to address the issue with their suppliers.
For shedding unprecedented light on the children toiling in Southeast Asia’s palm oil fields, and connecting the abusive practice to major consumer brands, McDowell, Mason, Bakkara, Breed and Humphrey share AP’s Best of the Week honors for the week of Dec. 28.
AP reveals sexual misconduct charges against FBI leadership
used interviews, public records requests and court papers to exclusively confirm at least six sexual misconduct allegations against senior FBI officials over the past five years, and that each avoided discipline. Several were quietly transferred or retired with full benefits, even when probes substantiated the claims.Starting with a single tip from a longtime FBI source, Mustian chipped away for months to reveal the previously undisclosed names of most of those senior officials as well as the details of the allegations against them. He used a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain inspector general reports, one of which confirmed the identity of an assistant FBI director who had been credibly accused of of drunkenly groping a female subordinate in a stairwell. The assistant director left the bureau without discipline.Mustian also found a civil rights lawyer in Washington who was preparing two lawsuits by women accusing senior officials. Mustian negotiated both for an exclusive interview with one of the plaintiffs, and to be the first reporter to write about those cases, including one woman’s claim of being blackmailed into sexual encounters for years.Mustian’s story received heavy play and elicited a strong reaction from readers, particularly those inside the FBI. Several women emailed Mustian to say his count was just the beginning; that they too were victims of senior agents while at the FBI. A California congresswoman says she is considering hearings into the FBI’s handling of sexual misconduct. https://bit.ly/3h15d7R
AP wins first Rome interview after acquittal of Cardinal Pell
landed the first interview with Cardinal George Pell after his return to the Vatican following acquittal in Australia on sex abuse charges. Winfield worked for months to win the access, triangulating with Pell’s publisher, his secretary and the former Australian ambassador to the Holy See to give AP the edge.Pell’s comments to AP about a swirling Vatican corruption investigation made headlines, since he had tried to root out financial corruption when he was Vatican treasurer but was forced to abandon the efforts when he had to return to Australia to face trial.https://bit.ly/37KclRQhttps://bit.ly/3m3gzJx
AP connects palm oil industry, top brands to abuse of women
followed up on their initial reporting that exposed widespread labor abuse in the palm oil industry, conducting a comprehensive investigation into the brutal treatment of women in the production of the omnipresent ingredient, including rapes by plantation supervisors, serious health issues from toxic chemicals and injuries from back-breaking loads. The pair then traced the oil produced by these women to the supply chains of top Western beauty brands — including conglomerates that make billions of dollars as they market the empowerment of women.Mason and McDowell persuaded dozens of female workers to tell their searing stories, spending months getting the women to trust them and then arranging clandestine meetings in an effort to protect the workers from retaliation by plantation owners. They bypassed the stonewalling of major Western brands that refused to say whether their products contain palm oil by using company data and U.S. Customs records to link the workers’ abuse to the brands’ palm oil supply chains.The package featured striking digital display, video and evocative photos by Indonesia-based stringer Binsar Bakkara, as well as a powerful series of closeups of workers’ hands cradling familiar products containing the fruits of their labor.The story is nearing 250,000 page views on AP News. The Clorox Company, which owns Burt’s Bees Inc., said it would raise the allegations of abuses with its suppliers, calling AP’s findings “incredibly disturbing.” https://bit.ly/3liKAV3https://bit.ly/2VeVUXRhttps://bit.ly/3mlXgfd
AP breaks news on the opioid epidemic and Purdue Pharma, with focus on victims
AP reporters from three different teams broke distinctive, significant stories on the continuing drug overdose crisis in the U.S., which has been overshadowed this year by the coronavirus pandemic:
— A state-level report showing that overdose deaths are on pace to reach an all-time high this year, and that overdoses increased after the virus began spreading in the U.S.— An accountability story on President Donald Trump’s handling of the opioid crisis, and how the issue has been overlooked in the presidential race.— A major scoop on a settlement between the federal government and Purdue Pharma, complete with details of criminal charges and the $8 billion settlement.
But the depth of coverage didn’t end with the major news beats. All three stories put victims at the center of the reporting.
For revealing stories that broke news and provided a powerful reminder of an ongoing epidemic that has contributed to the deaths of more than 470,000 Americans, Mike Stobbe, Adrian Sainz, Farnoush Amiri, Geoff Mulvihill, Meghan Hoyer and Michael Balsamo win this week’s Best of the States award.
AP reveals that Barrett was trustee for schools with anti-gay policies
Supreme Court nominees are scrutinized for signs of how they may vote on important issues, but Amy Coney Barrett’s jurisprudence told little about her views on gay rights.
Reporters Michelle R. Smith and Michael Biesecker knew that Barrett’s ties to People of Praise, a religious group with anti-gay views, could be an important part of her confirmation process. Through dogged reporting and source work they were able to show that Barrett was a trustee at People of Praise-run schools that had anti-gay teachings.
Their story had an immediate impact in the run-up to her Oct. 26 Senate confirmation. For thorough and groundbreaking reporting on the tightly held views of a justice likely to sit in judgment of high-profile gay rights cases, Smith and Biesecker win AP’s Best of the Week award.
AP exposes palm oil labor abuses linked to the world’s top brands, major banks
While covering the Rohingya crisis, investigative reporters Robin McDowell and Margie Mason knew tens of thousands of refugees fleeing Myanmar were vulnerable to exploitation. They suspected desperate men were being tricked or sold into the massive palm oil industry that supplies some of America’s most iconic food and cosmetic brands.
Working with photographers Gemunu Amarasinghe and Binsar Bakkara, they vividly documented the horrors some workers in Malyasia and Indonesia face. Workers spoke of brutal conditions including child labor, outright slavery and allegations of rape.
Reaction was swift, with the U.S. government saying it would block shipments from a major Malaysian producer mentioned in the story.
For exposing abuses affecting tens of thousands of workers in a global industry that manufactures a vast array of products we buy and use daily, McDowell, Mason, Amarasinghe and Bakkara win AP’s Best of the Week award.
A year after AP report, charges against former Mississippi priest
followed up with the latest developments from his 2019 reporting that uncovered sexual assault by clergy, settled on the cheap in rural Missisippi. That reporting has now prompted sexual assault charges against a former Catholic priest.A year ago, Rezendes and AP colleagues unraveled the case of a former Franciscan friar accused of sexually assaulting three impoverished Black boys. Spurred by this reporting, Mississippi authorities convened a grand jury that handed up sexual battery charges and had the man extradited from Wisconsin. Without the original work of Rezendes, there would have been no criminal case. Said La Jarvis Love, one of the men who told his story to AP: “I’m happy that me saying something got something done.”https://bit.ly/3m7ZShhhttps://bit.ly/2FnUUMm
A year in the making: Exclusive AP interview with Placido Domingo
scored a coveted exclusive: an all-formats interview with Placido Domingo. Barry spent a year convincing Domingo’s team that the singer should sit down and talk to the news agency that broke the story about investigations and sexual misconduct allegations against him. When Domingo’s team finally agreed, Barry was able to negotiate access for photos and video to cover not just the interview, but the concert on the eve of the interview, which for cultural events in Italy is not always the case.Barry conducted the interview in English and Italian, keeping her composure even when her line of questioning prompted Domingo’s family to “swarm” her. The story received wide play with news outlets directly crediting the AP’s interview and previous reporting. Some non-AP customers, including the BBC, were forced to credit the AP in their stories on the interview and Domingo’s denial of abusing power.https://bit.ly/34CurW0https://bit.ly/3ltJKGG
Players open up to AP, describe coach’s abusive practices at Oregon State
National sports writer Eddie Pells was first approached in February by the mom of a player who said she had some concerns about abuses going on in the volleyball program at Oregon State.
Over the next five months, Pells conducted dozens of interviews both in and out of the program, and checked with experts to learn if volleyball coach Mark Barnard was over the line. Several athletes spoke to Pells, including a former OSU player who described how the coach’s abusive practices contributed to a suicide attempt.
Pells’ exclusive led to immediate calls for the coach’s firing and questions about the university officials who didn’t take action after hearing complaints.
For months of persistent and sensitive reporting despite uncertain prospects, resulting in an impressive story with impact, Pells wins this week’s Best of the States award.
AP exclusive leads to release of migrant kids held in US hotels for deportation
Earmarked for deportation, the immigrant children, some mere toddlers, were parked in nondescript hotels – out of sight and, the Trump administration thought, out of mind. But not out of reach of an Associated Press exclusive.
With an investigation based on source work, court records and witness accounts, immigration reporter Nomaan Merchant exposed how the Trump administration held children in hotels despite federal anti-trafficking laws and court rulings that mandate child-appropriate facilities.
Merchant’s exclusive sparked outrage and accusations of child abuse. Five days later, the Trump administration said it would not expel 17 people, including children, detained at one Texas hotel, and the hotels pledged to stop allowing the practice.
For his investigative story that punctured layers of secrecy and changed the fortunes of all-but-invisible immigrant children, Merchant wins AP’s Best of the Week award.
AP Exclusive: US Catholic Church lobbies, gets windfall in federal PPP funds
Based on a tip following AP’s previous reporting on the Paycheck Protection Program, AP anticipated that the Roman Catholic Church might be one of the program’s biggest winners.
Investigative reporters Reese Dunklin and Michael Rezendes started digging, first showing how the church had successfully lobbied for special treatment under the program, then, when the federal data dropped, the full extent of the church’s windfall. An analysis on deadline revealed $1.4 billion to $3.5 billion in forgivable loans, with many millions going to dioceses that paid huge settlements or sought bankruptcy because of sexual abuse claims.
The story had an immediate impact with strong play and engagement in digital, print and broadcast outlets.
For being both first and authoritative on this highly competitive story, and for holding a remarkably powerful institution accountable, Dunklin and Rezendes share this week’s Best of the States award.
All-formats team out front on death of Seoul mayor
scored repeated beats in all formats when news broke that the Seoul mayor had gone missing amid a sexual harassment complaint. AP’s late-night news alerts on the discovery of the mayor’s body were well ahead of the competition; the print story led front pages on websites worldwide and BBC cited AP in its own copy.https://bit.ly/3h3FTNnhttps://bit.ly/391u3AIhttps://bit.ly/393YG8n
AP’s tour de force coverage of Weinstein verdict sweeps all formats
Coverage by an Associated Press team dominated the closely watched Harvey Weinstein verdict, delivering wins in all formats with speed, depth and exclusivity. Superior planning and preparation, and outstanding coordination on the day of the verdict, gave AP the edge.
Highlights included the breaking news story moving on the wire within a minute of the verdict, exclusive video of Weinstein leaving the courthouse by ambulance, and an enterprising behind-the-scenes photo essay on the women journalists covering the trial that earned remarkable play.
For quick, comprehensive and distinctive coverage that kept the AP ahead on one of the biggest trials of the year so far, Mary Altaffer, Michael R. Sisak, Tom Hays, David Martin, Ted Shaffrey, Robert Bumsted, John Minchillo, Craig Ruttle and Sophie Rosenbaum win AP’s Best of the Week award.
AP Exclusive: US opera union finds Placido Domingo abused power
obtained exclusively the results of the opera union’s investigation of sexual harassment accusations against superstar Placido Domingo, revealing that 27 people told investigators that they either had been harassed or had witnessed inappropriate behavior by Domingo. AP was also the first to report Domingo’s apology. Gecker’s story moved about nine hours before the union released an extremely brief description of its findings, offering few details. As a result of her reporting, a new accuser came forward to speak to the AP on the record, and a cascade of performance cancellations began among music companies in Domingo’s native Spain, where he previously had been staunchly defended. https://bit.ly/2Io9lOEhttps://bit.ly/2Io9amIhttps://bit.ly/2Q4TER1https://apnews.com/PlacidoDomingo
Be Prepared: Source work, planning deliver top coverage of Scouts’ bankruptcy
David Crary heard from his legal sources that something big was coming for the Boy Scouts of America, which has been besieged by sexual abuse lawsuits: a bankruptcy filing.
Weeks before the paperwork was filed, Crary, who has been covering the organization for 20 years, set into motion plans to ensure the AP was well-covered. When the Scouts’ filing finally came out late on a holiday, his sharply written prep had the story on the wire within minutes, explaining the gravity of the filing and the reasons behind it.
AP journalists around the country pitched in, including Brady McCombs who gathered reaction from Scouts and local councils, spinning it into an engaging follow-up, and correspondent Randall Chase who attended the Scouts’ first bankruptcy hearing in a Delaware court. Their efforts were rewarded with outstanding play.
For their careful planning and flawless execution of coverage of the Scouts’ bankruptcy filing, Crary, McCombs and Chase win this week’s Best of the States award.
Wrestler goes public with abuse charges; AP gets the interview
Kantele Franko, reporter, Columbus, Ohio; Larry Lage, sports writer, Detroit; and Thomas Peipert, reporter, Denver, for nimble coordination across three regions to secure an all-formats interview with the first athlete – Olympic wrestler Andy Hrovat – to make public accusations of sexual abuse against now-deceased Dr. Robert Anderson of the University of Michigan.https://bit.ly/2HZ8m7Ghttps://bit.ly/2PwPH7j
AP: Vatican envoy knew of offer to bribe abuse victim
for teaming up in a new investigation into the disgraced Legion of Christ religious order, revealing that the pope’s own envoy knew about a sex abuse settlement offer that is the subject of an obstruction of justice and extortion trial in Italy. AP scored the first-ever interview with the victim’s mother and obtained her wiretapped conversation with the Vatican cardinal running the Legion who was utterly unfazed that the order wanted to pay her son to lie to prosecutors and deny he had been abused.https://bit.ly/2TftYlihttps://bit.ly/2VpMJVI
