Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell signs a Statement of Support for the National Guard and Reserve Jan. 18 in Richmond flanked by Maj. Gen. Daniel E. Long, Jr., the Adjutant General of Virginia, and Roger Trout of the Virginia Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve. The Statement of Support confirms that Governor McDonnell joins other employers "in pledging to fully recognize, honor and enforce the Uniformed Services Employment and Re-Employment Rights Act, ensure that managers and supervisors will have the tools they need to effectively manage those employees who serve in the Guard and Reserve and that Virginia will continually recognize and support our country’s service members and their families in peace, in crises and in war". Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve is a Department of Defense agency established in 1972. The mission of ESGR is to gain and maintain employer support for Guard and Reserve service by advocating relevant initiatives, recognizing outstanding support, increasing awareness of applicable laws, and resolving conflict between employers and service members. ESGR volunteers provide free education, consultation, and if necessary mediation for employers of Guard and Reserve employees. (Photo by Cotton Puryear, Virginia Department of Military Affairs)

The seven principles Eugene Meyer set out for the Post when he bought it in 1933 once adorned the old lobby at 1150 15th Street. Today, they're reproduced in metal type on a wall in the new newsroom:
The first mission of a newspaper is to tell the truth as nearly as the truth may be ascertained.
The Newspaper shall tell ALL the truth so far as it can learn it, concerning the important affairs of America and the world.
As a disseminator of the news, the paper shall observe the decencies that are obligatory upon a private gentleman.
What it prints shall be fit reading for the young as well as for the old.
The newspaper's duty is to its readers and to the public at large, and not to the private interests of its owners.
In the pursuit of truth, the newspaper shall be prepared to make sacrifices of its material fortunes, if such course be necessary for the public good.
The newspaper shall not be the ally of any special interest, but shall be fair and free and wholesome in its outlook on public affairs and public men.

Even though the statement I'm making is smallish (a ring instead of big ole earrings or an awesome necklace), I think this look is MUCH better than yesterday's. lol
Artists Statements is a photographic installation of five large (three feet by six feet) black and white portraits of local Kingston artists and their work by award-winning photographer Chris Miner.
Each piece is a pair of photographs: a portrait of an artist and a representation of their artwork. The results present multiple ways of knowing the artists. Portrait photographs are often believed to reveal something of the character of a person, and studying someone's art reveals some of their obsessions, ideas and aspirations. When artist and art are presented simultaneously, harmonies and tensions between the maker and the made can be considered. These pairings juxtapose the appearance of each artist with how their imagination is manifest in their work. Or, put another way, the pictures juxtapose the artist’s physical form with what his or her imagination produces.
The photographs were taken with a traditional 8"x10" view camera, including the iconic dark cloth covering the photographer. This ritual (using 19th-century methods of portraiture) clarifies ideas, encourages intentional use of body language and permits intimacy between photographer and artist. Large negatives provide exceptional tonality and detail; this contributes to engagement between viewer and viewed.
The five works represent five exceptional local artists and four artistic media: sculpture, music, painting, and literature. The artists are Don Maynard, Jane Derby, Teilhard Frost, Su Sheedy, and Helen Humphreys.
The anti-capitalist protesters at the site in Old Market Square had been locked in a legal battle over their right to camp in the main square.
A statement from the group said the decision to leave after 190 days was not an easy one but the prospect of winning a trial due to start on April 30 was not hopeful.
The site was one of several set up in the UK in 2011 to voice opposition to what the protesters saw as unfairness in the financial system.
The Nottingham group said lawyers gave them only a 50 to 55% chance of success at trial and said a judge at a previous hearing stated that any proposed deal between the council and the camp was not the business of the court.
"This meant that at the next hearing of the three day trial due to begin on 30th April, that our barristers had a hugely difficult task to win the argument for the camp to be able to remain on the Market Place," the statement said.
"Whereas initially the risk of costs being awarded against camp members was removed from the previous hearing, that was not the case for the trial with a risk of some 20-30k in costs, which didn't seem such a worthwhile task with a much lower chance of success and unlikelihood of winning the case."
Nottingham City Council said the camp had to move as it posed hygiene and safety issues.
The Occupy statement added: "During the stay of over six months on Nottingham's Market Place, Occupy Nottingham feel that they have been successful with what they initially set out to achieve in raising awareness of the issues we currently face in our society."
The group said the camp, which included dozens of tents, will be dismantled as of 9pm tomorrow and the protesters would take "a needed and well deserved" break, but added: "We are not packing it up or giving in. We have decided to use a short break to regroup, plan our next actions and reorganise before we take the campaign mobile."

Today Statement #59:
Today I will change my perspective. I will see things from a different angle because if my camera has taught me anything it's the fact that if I change the way I see things, the things I see will change.
Our laundry is still waiting to be folded. We have spent a ton of time at the hospital supporting friends who have met with tragedy. This pile of clean clothes in my basement is a welcome sight. It reminds me that I have a healthy family, and that's all that really matters.
