DXO offered some of us tenured customers a free permanent version of Filmpak 3 as part of their opening publicity for Filmpak 4. This program’s purpose is to take a digital picture and give it the same look that different films would have produced, had it been on those films. Although the freebie was more limited in film choices than their #4, it still gave a lot of the old favorites.

For space reasons, I reduced a snapshot taken with an EOS-M by 50%, then applied some of the various filters. Even jpegged, the file is pretty big. To see which films are represented and to get a good look at things like grain and the lines in Polachrome, you will need to see “all size” button, then open up as “original.” You can move the large view around on your screen and see the different color shades of the different iterations.

The DOT Urban Art Program presented artist Chang-Jin Lee's work "Comfort Women Wanted" on one of the DOT Urban Art Program's art display structures in a temporary plaza located at 14th Street and 9th Avenue in Manhattan for one month starting on May 6, 2013. Based on the artist's interaction with comfort women survivors and a former Japanese solider from WWII, "Comfort Women Wanted" sheds light on one of the largest cases of female trafficking in the 20th century.

During WWII, young women from Asia and the Netherlands were kidnapped, imprisoned and forced to cater to the needs of the Japanese Imperial Army. By some estimates, only 30% of these women survived the "comfort stations." For the project "Comfort Women Wanted," ad-like posters depict black & white portraits of Asian comfort women survivors. The title and text reference Asian newspapers' comfort women advertisements that were circulated during the war. The project promotes awareness of the comfort women, some of whom are still alive today, and examines a history that has been largely forgotten.

To further explore the complexities of this project, visit Lee's one day screening at Hauser & Wirth Gallery on May 29th.

On the wall of the Cheerful Tortoise, a Portland State University hangout. PSU wrestling is one paint job away from obivion.

Collegiate wrestling is in decline on the West coast.

The first wrestling match we attended was at Portland State University. Now that program's been shut down, as has wrestling at the University of Oregon. Wrestling died at the University of Washington in about 1980.

I like wrestling because men can excel regardless of their stature. That's not true of many other sports.

It's also one of the few sports that hasn't been tainted by professionalism at the high school and college levels. It is and will remain a true amateur sport. They do it because they love the sport (hence the word "amateur"), not money or fame.

Here's an excerpt from a March 2009 newspaper article about the PSU team's demise:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even as he watched his team compete for perhaps the final time at this month's Pacific-10 Conference championships, Portland State wrestling coach Mike Haluska remained optimistic.

"I just had a really good feeling through all of this that it would work out," Haluska said.

Instead, the Portland State wrestling team was informed Wednesday by the university that it has been eliminated.

The news comes two months after PSU president Wim Wiewel created a seven-person task force to look into concerns with the wrestling program related to finances, academics and lack of success at the Division I level.

"This is very disappointing," Haluska said. "None of (the athletes) want to leave. They all want to wrestle at Portland State. Right now, they're obviously pretty down. But we're going to fight to keep it."

Portland State athletic director Torre Chisholm told the Vikings their fate in a 45-minute meeting Wednesday morning. The university task force recommended that wrestling become a club sport.

"I don't believe that it was any single area of concern that led to the decision, but a combined effect of all the problems," Chisholm said. "Added together, the wrestling program was in serious distress and the university lacks the resources to fix the many problems."

Portland State becomes the 15th college in Oregon to eliminate wrestling in the past 35 years, including the 670th in the nation, according to the National Wrestling Coaches Association. The University of Oregon cut its program after the 2007-08 season.

Fort Hood Survivor Outreach Services, a model for the Army, holds 2nd annual Survivor Seminar & Good Grief Camp

By Rob McIlvaine

FMWRC Public Affairs

FORT HOOD, Texas – The 2010 Fort Hood Military Survivor Seminar and Good Grief Camp brought together nearly 300 Family members from as far away as South Korea, Alaska and Nebraska who joined other survivors in weekend-long program of comfort and support.

Included in this group were 120 youngsters ranging in age from four to 19 who participated in a full schedule of activities, each with a Soldier/Mentor who spent the entire two full days with them using the buddy system.

“We’ve had Families tell us, ‘We don’t want to sit around and cry,’ so based on their feedback and with the help of Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch, our Survivor Outreach Services has grown considerably,” said Janeth Lopez, Fort Hood Survivor Outreach Services Program Manager.

Lynch, who is now the commanding general of the Installation Management Command, combined the efforts of several organizations and services to take care of military Families when he was the III Corps and Fort Hood Commander.

“One of the biggest challenges for an installation is acquiring the space needed to house the services required to adequately help surviving Families,” Lopez said.

Beginning in the spring of 2009, a series of events led to significant changes for surviving Families at Fort Hood.

First, the God Star Family Center’s organization, Helping Unite Gold Star Survivors (HUGSS) was replaced by SOS, a program which falls under the Army’s Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command.

“Along with the Casualty Assistance Center, HUGSS, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, and focus groups used to help form the program’s future, the Fort Hood SOS program began to take shape,” Lopez said.

The Fort Hood area of responsibility includes 175 counties in Texas. Because of the size, one of the first actions, after acquiring the large space to house their offices and Hall of Remembrance, was to hire a staff.

“Our local program was given a Program Manager position and an Office Assistant, two Support Coordinators who would help a Family with programs already existing within the Army, two Financial Counselors and two Family Life Coach positions who would help Families of fallen Soldiers cope with the impact of grief, loss and bereavement,” Lopez said.

For the second annual Survivor Seminar & Good Grief Camp, Fort Hood units, their Soldiers and area businesses pitched in to make the weekend memorable for all those attending.

Members of the Armed Services YMCA volunteered their time to cook beef brisket from six in the morning on Saturday until four in the afternoon when the pulled brisket, baked beans, hot dogs and salad were served up for free.

One of the guys pulling out the brisket and wrapping it up in tin foil for further baking was retired Army Sgt. Maj. David Clemons, who was 1st Cavalry Command Sergeant Major from 2006 to 2008.

“I’ve got some guys in there on the wall at the Hall of Remembrance and I just enjoy giving back,” Clemons said as he jabbed a long fork into a brisket with a hearty smile on his face.

Other units joining were Soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Division Horse Cavalry Detachment, pilots of an Apache Attack helicopter from the 21st Cavalry, a couple of tanks including an M1 A2 SEP V2, a team of Army bridge builders, the Army band, and dogs and their Soldier handlers from the Army K-9 corps. Local businesses included Westbound, a rock and roll band, and Veteran Sound, a group of veterans who handled music mixing and speakers for the band.

“In the three months I’ve been here at SOS the ball has really begun to roll and is now creating a landslide,” Financial Counselor Duane Atchison said of the program.

“Thanks to Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch who started the ball rolling, the interaction of units here on base and the chaplain, this program will do nothing but get stronger and become a major support system for surviving Families,” Atchison said.

During the first day’s opening general session, TAPS Director of Training Darcie Sims told the surviving Families that no matter where or how a Soldier died, everyone was there to listen and to help.

“It is not how someone died that brought us here. None of us wanted to be here. Whatever happened that cost them their life, it did not cost them our love,” Sims said.

“Many of us here maybe never got a chance to say ‘I’m sorry’ or you didn’t get a chance to say ‘goodbye.’ Tonight after dinner and the Soldier Show, we’ll all get a chance to yell up to the heavens, ‘Goodbye, I love you,’” Sims said.

Following two full days of sessions where Families spent time sharing their stories and learning how to cope through meditation, games, exercise and dance, the time for the balloon release finally arrived.

Messages to their loved ones were attached to balloons and they took to the field.

Wayne, a child of a Soldier who had fallen, had no problem announcing what he had written to his father as his Soldier/Mentor David Riecke helped him get ready to release his balloon.

“I miss you,” Wayne said.

Supra Boats @Supra_Boats is being recognized for outstanding customer satisfaction again this year with the 2013 Marine Industry CSI Award from NMMA.

The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) once again announced Supra Boats as a winner of the 2013 Marine Industry CSI Award. For 8 years in a row this luxury performance wake boat brand has achieved an excellent rating from the NMMA in customer satisfaction. Supra Boats was one of only three luxury water sports boat manufacturers who maintained 90% or higher customer satisfaction for the 2012/ 2013 reporting period and Supra is the only one of that exclusive group who has achieved this level of excellence for eight years consecutively. Supra Boats is extremely proud to be recognized for excellence in customer satisfaction, as part of NMMA’s Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) program.

Supra Boats was acknowledged during the annual Industry Breakfast at the 2013 International Boat Builders’ Exhibition and Conference (IBEX) in Louisville, Kentucky. 

The Marine Industry CSI Awards program honors participating manufacturers that actively measure customer satisfaction and pursue continuous improvement to better serve the customer. Award recipients achieved and maintained an independently-measured standard of excellence of 90 percent or higher in customer satisfaction over the past year, based on information provided by customers purchasing a new boat during the period between April 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013. Participating manufacturers must survey all new boat buyers during this period. For this reporting period, the program surveyed more than 50,000 consumers.

“We are extremely proud to receive this award eight years in a row, but the real reward, for us, is the strong customer relationships and loyalty the Supra brand enjoys,” explains Rick Tinker, President of Supra Boats. “We build an amazing boat and have a great group in place who pride themselves in working as a team to serve the customer completely.”

“Customer satisfaction is critical to the success and growth of the recreational boating industry and its CSI award recipients that set the bar on delivering an exceptional customer experience,” notes Robert Newsome, director of engineering standards for NMMA.  “We applaud and thank Supra Boats for their commitment to enhancing the boating lifestyle.”

NMMA launched its CSI program in 2001 to provide boat and engine manufacturers with an independently measured, cost-effective means of improving customer satisfaction in the boating industry. Since the program’s inception, more than 600,000 surveys have been sent out to new boat and engine customers, allowing participating manufacturers to monitor customer satisfaction on an ongoing basis, and to benchmark themselves against the industry and their competitors.

About NMMA: National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) is the leading association representing the recreational boating industry in North America. NMMA member companies produce more than 80 percent of the boats, engines, trailers, accessories and gear used by boaters and anglers throughout the U.S. and Canada. The association is dedicated to industry growth through programs in public policy advocacy, market statistics and research, product quality assurance and promotion of the boating lifestyle.

🇺🇸 🇷🇴 Suntem împreună în această luptă!

Statele Unite și România au luptat cot la cot în unele dintre cele mai ostile teatre de operațiuni din vremurile noastre, iar acum ne luptăm cu încă un dușman comun – COVID-19.

Azi, @USEUCOM a donat aproape 18.000 de teste rapide Serviciului de Ambulanță București-Ilfov, pentru a-l sprijini să ajute mai departe comunitatea și pe noi toți care numim această zonă „acasă”. Sub auspiciile Programului de asistență umanitară al Biroului pentru cooperare în domeniul apărării, coordonatorul Programului de parteneriat cu statul Alabama și consilierul pe probleme bilaterale, locotenent-colonelul Baltz și partenerii săi români - maistrul militar clasa a III-a Ionescu, caporalul Schuster și doamna Negoiță au livrat testele.

Programul de parteneriat cu statul a ajutat la crearea unei cooperări bilaterale de neclintit în materie de securitate și a nenumărate relații interpersonale care fac posibile toate reușitele diplomatice. Faptul că programul se axează pe asistență umanitară, schimburi regulate, sprijin reciproc și împărtășirea celor mai bune practici a adus beneficii ambelor națiuni și a îmbunătățit foarte mult interoperabilitatea în cei aproape treizeci de ani în care Garda Națională a Statului Alabama și România au fost parteneri sub incidența sa. Lt. Col. Baltz a surprins foarte bine spiritul parteneriatului și al prieteniei, și la momentul livrării testelor, a declarat: „Suntem alături și vom fi în continuare alături de prietenul și aliatul nostru, România”.

🇺🇸 🇷🇴 We are in this struggle together.

The United States and Romania have stood shoulder-to-shoulder in the most hostile theaters of our time, and now we fight another common enemy—COVID 19.

Today, our United States European Command donated nearly 18,000 rapid COVID-19 test kits to the Bucharest/Ilfov Ambulance Services to help them as they help their community, and all of us who call the area home. Under the auspices of the Office of Defense Cooperation’s Humanitarian Assistance Program the Chief of the Alabama State Partnership Program and Bilateral Affairs Officer, Lt Col Baltz, and his partners, Romanian Chief Warrant Officer Ionescu, Corporal Schuster and Ms. Negotia delivered the kits.

The State Partnership Program has helped forge both an unshakeable bilateral security partnership and the countless people-to-people relationships that make all diplomatic successes possible. The program’s focus on humanitarian assistance, regular exchanges, mutual support, and the sharing of best practices, has benefited both our nations and greatly improved our interoperability in the nearly thirty years that the Alabama National Guard and Romania have partnered under it. The spirit of that partnership and friendship was well captured by Lt Col Baltz who stated upon delivery of the kits, “We are, and we continue to be here for our Romanian friend and ally.”

COD Horticulture Program faculty, students, alumni and industry professionals celebrated the program’s 50th anniversary at a community open house at the Technical Education Center.

Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.

The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.

"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."

"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."

SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.

The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.

"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."

The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.

"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.

I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."

Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.

But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.

On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.

The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.

"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."

Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.

"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."

The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.

Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.

No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder met with members of the North Charleston Police Department, Charleston Farms Community, and a program participant in the department's innovative program S.T.A.N.D. (Stop and Take A New Direction).

Attorney General Holder heard first hand how the program, which focused on not just arresting low level narcotics dealers with little or no prior criminal history but to go a step further and help those involved in the activity change their lives for the better, has changed the lives of several participants and improved the quality of life in the neighborhood. AG Holder praised the department for "thinking outside of the box" in crime reduction strategies and for its community involvement.

Of the original eight (8) participants accepted in to the program, four completed the program, maintain full time employment and continue to be productive citizens. The project was broadcast nationwide last year on Dateline NBC.

The Art Center Cooperative, the Jacksonville Port Authority (JAXPORT), the Cathedral Arts Project, St. Johns Riverkeeper, Duval County Public Schools and Comcast have developed and sponsored the River Art Mentorship Program — educationally based, maritime-themed art workshops for select Duval County Public School (DCPS) middle school students.

The program’s purpose is to provide creatively gifted students the opportunity to continue practicing art, while expanding their knowledge of the region’s greatest asset, the St. Johns River. The program partners agree it is important to foster the growth of young artists through imagination and discovery.

Mary Atwood of The Art Center Cooperative explains the organization’s interest in creating the River Art Mentorship Program. “As part of The Art Center’s ongoing mission to bring art opportunities to underserved children, it is our pleasure to team up with these outstanding organizations to host the River Art Mentorship program. We hope by combining academic and artistic experiences, we can help motivate the participating students to reach for success in the classroom as well as inspire them to further explore and expand their own creative abilities.”

Sessions began with a river tour and continued with workshops focusing on painting, print making, These workshops, held at The Art Center at 229 North Hogan Street, were offered at no charge to the students. Funding is received through a grant from Target and in-kind donations from supporters. The students were encouraged to produce works of art which reflect both the industrial and natural beauty of the St. Johns River.

Eighth-grader Alexius Pierce made the go-ahead layup in the game's last minute, and junior Diamonne Harris hit four straight free throws in the final 10 seconds as the Syracuse Academy of Science held off Allegany-Limestone, 55-50, in a Class C girls basketball state semifinal at Hudson Valley Community College.

The Section III-champion Atoms (20-4) will play in the 8-year-old program's first state final at 4 p.m. Saturday against Section IX champion Millbrook.

"It feels unbelievable," said Harris, who led all scorers with 20 points. "We worked so hard - day after day - it was all worth it. It feels so good."

"We just willed our way (to the win), said senior leader Lyrik Jackson, who scored 14 points, grabbed eight rebounds and made five steals for the Atoms. "Coach said keep pushing. We didn't want to go home."

SAS, which trailed by six points at the half (32-26) sparked its second-half offense with a pressing defense that forced Allegany-Limestone into 22 turnovers and yielded a dozen steals.

The #SASAtoms also held Gators' star senior center Morgan Davis to 14 points, about five below her season's average. Morgan only had six in the second half.

"Amazing. Just amazing," said #SASCS head coach Reggie Pickard. "I'm still kind of dreaming - like are we here or not, you know? We're doing everything possible to win a championship. We've worked hard for eight years, and here we are."

The Atoms trailed by as many as eight points late in the second quarter but caught the Gators just two minutes into the third using a press that started paying off in turnovers.

"Our pressure has been the key for us all year," Pickard said. "We force turnovers, make the game kind of ugly.

I thought if we pressured a little more in the second half it would harder for them to get the ball to their bigs."

Allegany-Limestone, from Section VI near Olean, still led by two at the start of the fourth quarter, but SAS sophomore Xyel Bradford's 3-pointer put the Atoms ahead, 41-40, with just under 7 minutes left. Pierce hit another huge three with 2:30 left to play that gave SAS a 47-46 advantage.

But the Gators continued to make big baskets, too, and Allegany-Limestone had a 50-49 lead, and the ball, with just under a minute left to play.

On the in-bounds play, Harris dove for a steal and somehow got the ball to Pierce, who drove in for what would turn out to be the winning points, making it 51-50, Atoms.

The Gators began fouling, but Harris proved worthy against the pressure, hitting two sets for free throws in the final eight seconds.

"It was very nerve-wracking, but we do this all of the time in practice," she said. "I have to stay calm."

Allegany-Limestone coach Frank Martin said his team just couldn't quite hold it together in the final minutes against the SAS quickness.

"I'd love to have the last minute and a half back," he said. "We weren't as good as we needed to be to close this game out. We just weren't as good as we needed to be at the end."

The Atoms had a scare in the final seconds when Jackson took a shot to her head when she went down chasing a loose ball and an Allegany-Limestone player fell on top of her. She had to be helped off the court but was up and talking in the aftermath.

Harris said she hoped to go swimming in the hotel pool later in the day, but her coach wasn't hearing it.

No, no. We're not going to do any swimming," he said, laughing. "Too much muscle movement. They got mad at me last night because I took their phones from them. I'm doing that again tonight, too."
