Cubs historical sleuthing: Play at the plate edition
It was close, but Steve Buechele was out.
Share All sharing options for: Cubs historical sleuthing: Play at the plate edition
Photo by Tom G. Lynn//Time Life Pictures/Getty Images
Getty Images doesn't give us much to go on here:
Phila. Phillies Darren Daulton in action vs Chicago Cubs Steve Buechele.
Checks out. That's Daulton and Buechele in a play at the plate at Wrigley Field.
Buechele played for the Cubs from 1993 through early July 1995, when he was released. He had put up a 3.4 bWAR season for the Cubs in '93, played somewhat less well in '94 and was hitting .189/.265/.236 in 32 games in '95 when he was let go. His original team, the Rangers, picked him up but he played in just nine games for them before he was released again, his career ending.
Anyway, back to this one: At first I thought it might be a night game given the kind of gloomy look to the photo, but I couldn't find any such night games.
Instead, this play happened in an early-season day game, Friday, April 16, 1993, when it was 41 degrees, cloudy and drizzly at game time. That fits the photo.
In the sixth inning of this game, with the Cubs leading 3-0, Buechele singled with one out. The next hitter was Jose Vizcaino, who doubled. That wasn't enough to score Buechele, who was thrown out at the plate.
The Cubs won the game 3-1, but the Phillies got the last laugh by winning the NL East that year with a 97-65 record, then winning the NL pennant over the Braves in the NLCS. They lost the World Series to the Blue Jays. It would be their last postseason appearance until 2007.
We have video of this play — unfortunately, though, there's no audio:

US newspapers endorse Obama for president
October 18, 2008 — 11.44am
The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times, two of the most influential US newspapers, backed Barack Obama today to become the next US president, praising his leadership abilities despite his relative inexperience.
Obama also picked up hometown support from the Chicago Tribune - marking the first time since its founding in 1847 that it has come out for a Democratic candidate.
Their editorials took to 51 the number of US newspapers endorsing Obama so far in the November 4 election, against 16 for McCain, according to a tally by the Editor and Publisher trade journal.
The Washington Post said its thumbs up was "without ambivalence,'' and praised Obama's intelligence and political skill while blasting Republican rival John McCain, 72, and his running mate Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, 44.
"The choice is made easy in part by Mr McCain's disappointing campaign, above all his irresponsible selection of a running mate who is not ready to be president,'' it said.
It described the 47-year-old Illinois senator as "a man of supple intelligence, with a nuanced grasp of complex issues and evident skill at conciliation and consensus-building.''
"Mr Obama has the potential to become a great president,'' wrote the Post. "Yes, we have reservations and concerns, almost inevitably, given Mr Obama's relatively brief experience in national politics. But we also have enormous hopes.''
The Los Angeles Times also backed Obama in an editorial posted on its website today, saying the Democratic nominee answered a need for "a leader who demonstrates thoughtful calm and grace under pressure.''
"The Times without hesitation endorses Barack Obama for president,'' it wrote, saying that as the campaign neared the finishing line Obama had impressed with his "steadiness and maturity.''
"Obama is educated and eloquent, sober and exciting, steady and mature. He represents the nation as it is and as it aspires to be.''
Like the Post, the Times condemned McCain for picking Palin, saying it "calls into question just what kind of thinking - if that's the appropriate word - would drive the White House in a McCain presidency.''
The Chicago Tribune - which like the Los Angeles Times is owned by real estate baron Sam Zell, and historically faithful to the Republican Party - called Obama "the strongest candidate''.
"We have tremendous confidence in his intellectual rigour, his moral compass and his ability to make sound, thoughtful, careful decisions,'' it said. "He is ready.''
"The Republican Party, the party of limited government, has lost its way,'' it added, citing a record budget deficit in 2008, "rampant spending and Capitol Hill corruption... They abandoned their principles. They paid the price.''
It rebuked McCain not only for his fiscal policy and $US300 billion ($A432.96 billion) offer to buy up bad mortgages, but also for picking Palin as his running mate after "having called Obama not ready to lead.''
"It's clear she is not prepared to step in at a moment's notice and serve as president... McCain put his campaign before his country.''
The biggest newspaper to come out for McCain so far has been the New York Post, a part of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch's empire that also includes the conservative Fox News channel.

Hi Franziska! What is your position at McKesson Europe AG?
As the Head of Procurement Intelligence, I – together with a team of five employees – have been responsible for purchase analyses (comparing the prices of different products, etc.) and procurement controlling since November 2017.
After completing my studies in business mathematics, I took up a position at Celesio AG (as it was known at the time) in June 2011. This was for two reasons: first, I was interested in the branch; second, I was attracted by the international environment.
Back then, I helped to develop our analysis tool in procurement. We can use the data collected via the tool to perform global analyses, for example to assess a supplier's revenue across the whole group. With this topic as my background, I qualified for the role of global process owner for master data management in our internal programme for resource planning and management. I started this position in September 2015, and it proved to be a highly exciting and instructive period for me. When I was offered my current position as Head of Procurement Intelligence last year, I didn't have to think too long about taking on this new challenge.
The expert programme offered by the company was a fantastic experience. The exchange with other colleagues, the exercises and methods that encouraged reflection, and the opportunity to familiarise myself with new tools definitely contributed to my ongoing professional development.
Franziska Budig on her professional development.
In addition to my job, I completed an apprenticeship to become a certified actress. Even as a child, it was my dream to be on stage. During the apprenticeship, I realised how many aspects of it I could apply to my job as well. An actor can only be successful when they are fully immersed in their role. This establishes authenticity and enables them to keep an eye on the bigger picture. This is just like in a job: the idea is to do your duties well while maintaining an overview of everything around you.
What have been the major reasons for deciding where to take your career next?
I have always been motivated by the idea of getting up in the morning, looking forward to work and tackling exciting tasks day in, day out. I always want to expand my knowledge, learn new skills and abilities and continue to develop my personality. This, combined with my optimism and hard work, has shaped the path my career has taken.
If you look back at your career, what are the most interesting aspects?
To be honest, I haven't had a "career" for all that long yet (smiles).
It has always been important to me to perform consistently well in my field of responsibility while having the time for, and being open to, new things. One of these new and interesting challenges was, as I said, taking on the position of global process owner at the start of my professional career at McKesson Europe. The many interfaces with the other teams and stakeholders in a project environment featuring numerous external partners proved to be an exciting experience.
In my current role, I have moved from being a colleague to a supervisor, and my excellent team made this transition very easy for me. I perform an interface-type role here too. The subject areas are extremely diverse, which means they are always interesting.
A career depends on many factors, though not all of them can be influenced externally – especially in a constantly changing environment. Putting in a good performance is something I am in control of. It requires patience and perseverance. The important thing is to have a good supervisor and/or mentor who you can rely on to challenge and encourage you. This is a good way of recognising your own strengths and weaknesses, and then accepting them and working on them.
I compare it to doing sport. For many years, I liked to do artistic roller skating, so I know how great it feels to stand at the top of a podium during a championship. Even so, the most important experience comes from having to accept defeat and handling your feelings when a competition didn't turn out as expected. To then battle your way back to the top of the pile requires hard work and ambition – along with a dash of talent and luck of course!
Did you plan your career path or did you simply seize the right opportunities?
My career just happened. Over time, I have learned to leave my comfort zone, face new challenges and allow opportunities to happen. The rest came of its own accord.
It is important to have personal career goals and to review them from time to time. In my opinion, however, they shouldn't dominate your day-to-day work.
I've only been in my current role for nine months. There's still a lot to do.
As I enjoy my work every day and keep taking on new challenges, I am certain that the next professional moves in my career will take place organically as well. I feel like I'm in good hands at McKesson.
Franziska Budig on her future career path.
Approach your work with a sense of commitment and enjoyment, and see it as a contribution to something greater. Always be open to new things and don't be afraid to make mistakes – or to admit that you've made one.
After going for a jog early in the morning, I would now be spending time with my family and friends. I also often prepare myself mentally for the week ahead.

Rooms with Views: Hotels in Asia
By Allan Wilson / March 18, 2017 April 12, 2018
One of the better perks in travel writing has to be our makeshift offices where we have found ourselves working from fantastic accommodations around the globe, from Boutique hideaways to luxury pool villas. But the most memorable of all these makeshift offices will have to be the rooms with views. With a bottle of wine and a window of inspiration right in front of us. So I thought I would share some of the more memorable to date. And these are some of the best hotel room views in Asia.
Osaka Marriott Miyako (Osaka, Japan)
On our most recent visit to Osaka we stayed two nights in the iconic Osaka Marriott Miyako hotel which is situated on the top floors of the Abeno Harukas building which is not only the tallest building in Osaka, but all of Japan. And our entire stay just felt surreal starting from arrival at the 19th floor reception as we open out to towering spaces and floor to ceiling windows, which overlook the tops of the surrounding highrise skyline. The lobby feels more like a futuristic sci-fi skyport, than any urban city lodgings, yet we are still only a third of the way to the top. So we continue through check-in, before being rocketed, in an elevator, to our 53rd floor guestroom suite above the city. To put the height into perspective, the observation deck, which is one of the main attractions in Osaka, is found just seven stories above us, on the 60th floor of the Abeno Harukas building. And we do get complimentary tickets to this attraction with our stay, although the views are very similar to what we look over from our own room. Yet they are undoubtedly more relaxed and enjoyable with a bottle of sake and Japanese snacks in the cloudlike comforts of our 53rd floor guestroom suite. Our full review here>>
Riverside Boutique Resort (Vang Vieng, Laos)
As far as destinations go Vang Vieng has everything going for it. It has the views, it has the adventure, and the tourist infrastructure has always been there. But following the backpackers exodus in 2012 it did lose its niche and since has been in a hiatus of sorts, a time of transition, as they try to shake off the old stigma and replace it with more diverse and ultimately lucrative markets. So now, what once was the place to avoid for discerning travelers, is an unlikely gem, and the Riverside Boutique Resort appears to be leading this transition. The views from our balcony are truly outstanding where we have one of the most beautiful and somewhat iconic scenes of Southeast Asia and Laos set right on our doorstep. We really couldn't be more centrally located as right next to the resort passes the rickety wooden toll bridge and the main crossing to the west side of the Namsong river, which in itself is a charm to watch from the restaurant balcony. Our first night here was just so memorable as we watched through twilight as the daytime traffic transitioned into serene river scenes, and the birds and buzz of river boat propellers faded into a chorus of Namsong river beasts, and the faint sound of traditional Lao music coming from the opposite riverbanks. Our full review here>>
Takaragawa Onsen Osenkaku (Gunma, Japan)
The one experience not to be missed in Japan is the traditional ryokan experience, which is more than just your typical hotel stay, but a package of fascintaing cultural experiences, all wrapped into one. This normally includes a traditional hotel suite, with frills attached, the hot spring baths, kimono dress, and, more than not, a multi-course kaiseki dinner. Yet Takaragawa Onsen was more. For me it was the Japanese dream, where, other than on-screen, I never thought places like this existed in real life. But what really brought this experience together is the setting next to a mountain stream, surrounded by mists from the hot water springs, and forests bound in snow. It is dreamlike and I'm fairly certain that these are the most beautiful and serene scenes I have witnessed in my life. And we watch on from our traditional Japanese suite, on the corner of the pinewood building, where the corner windows have incredible views over the passing Takarawaga river and suspension rope bridge, which marks the start of the hot spring onsens which are dotted throughout the surrounding mountain forests. I could happily live and die here. Our full review here>>
Traders Hotel, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)
One of the most iconic landmarks of Southeast Asia would have to be Kuala Lumpur's Petronas Twin Towers, the majestic crown of Southeast Asia. From the Traders Hotel (Shangri-La), we find ourselves with front row seats, up close and intimate. During the day the scenes are picturesque and serene but it is at night when Kuala Lumpur and the towers really come to life. On our first night we pass time with a bottle of wine (as always) and haul the guestroom sofa to the front window for the perfect frame. We sit to watch as the city night views unfold. First is the park below which lights up, closely followed by the neon shop fronts. Then it is the office buildings surrounding but soon they are all completely dwarfed by the marvel of the Petronas Towers. Tiny tourists gather by the foot of the towers for the scene's prestige with a 'Lake Symphony' of music, dancing fountains and shimmering lights. Hard to beat. Our full review here>>
Lake Kawaguchiko Hotels (Fuji, Japan)
Unobstructed views of Mount Fuji… do I need to say more? This well deserved respite was during intensive travels in Japan as we indulge in the many pleasures of Japan's prestigious Ryokan hotels. Our stay is in a traditional Japanese suite with floors of Tatami matting and partitions of sliding doors. Complimenting the unmatched views of a snowy peaked Fujisan; we indulge in onsen baths with water from surrounding hot springs, before feasting on traditional kaiseki fine dining. Between hot spring baths we still find time to organize a community treasure hunt almost 10,000 miles away in Northern Ireland. Our office none to shabby. The views do disappear at night, but come first light they are unbeatable as the lake sits untouched and still, for the most beautiful views of mount Fuji reflecting on the lake's surface. This hotel is one of a handful found in the Kawaguchiko lake area. Our full review here>>.
Santhiya, Koh Yao Yai (Thailand)
There are seemingly endless numbers of ocean view resorts in Thailand alone. For our favourite to date? This would have to go to the pool villas of Santhiya where we sit perched on the cliff-sides of the smaller, lesser known island of Koh Yao Yai not so far from Phuket. I remember arriving to Santhiya Koh Yao Yai and as we are being ushered through door after door of the extensive villa my eyes are firmly fixed to the horizon as the infinity pool spills out towards the ocean below. With such perfect views I fail to even notice the intricacy of the carved teak wood interiors. The focus from every room is of course on the horizon and some of the better spots to lounge and indulge include the veranda with panoramic views, the bedroom suite which is set just back from the pools edge and the hidden sunken bath. We share the perfect Andaman sunset with complimentary red wine and local 'bah bin' coconut cakes courtesy of the restaurant head chef. Alone and private, the only chance of prying eyes comes from the local fishermen who plough the seas far below. Our full review here>>
Alila Ubud (Bali, Indonesia)
In the past we've stayed in umpteen 'jungle' retreats; from the primary rainforests of Borneo, to unspoiled, lesser known islands of Southeast Asia. Of these, we've never experienced nature and wildlife quite as abundant as we do at the Alila Ubud resort where we are holed up in a villa overlooking green canopies of the Ayung River valley below. On our first morning we share breakfast with a troop of passing macaque monkeys. Soon after, as we sit watching the life in the treetops a draco flying lizard lands on the tree directly in front of me. Later, on our walk to the resort restaurant, we are held up by a friendly snake who passes on an evening slither. At night we sleep under a chorus of frogs, lizards, crickets, and other jungle beasties which hide in the canopies that surround us. All shared with some unforgettable infused cocktails. Our full review here>>
The Cherry Resort (Sikkim India)
This experience was very much in the budget range of our travels. It was also a one of a kind experience. Having visited numerous tea hills throughout Asia we are yet to find one with a hotel or resort overlooking them. At the Cherry Resort, in the Indian Himalayas, we are set right in the centre of traditionally cultivated tea gardens and our balcony views look out to hills above, and clouds below. We are in the Temi Tea Gardens of Sikkim India, 7,000 feet up in the Himalayan ranges, and an area so remote that the 'nearby' city of Gangtok is a 3 hours drive away. When we arrive it is to bewildered staff as we are the only guests at the resort. For half the night we plunge into darkness with a power outage, and failing to find the cook our driver helps prepare our dinner of Dal Baht and Curry Aloo (he tells me the following morning). All this adds to the experience where the only other souls are found in surrounding tea gardens where they plug tea leaves from 7am – 4pm daily. Our full review here>>

How the West was Workshopped
After 25 years, Santa Fe Photographic Workshops is still taming new frontiers.
Updated Jun. 28, 2021
By John Muller
This summer, Jennifer Schlesinger Hanson taught for the first time at Santa Fe Photographic Workshops, instructing students in the antique art of making prints with albumen, or egg white. From October 24 to January 3, Verve Gallery, where she has served as director since 2005, will display her work as part of a group exhibition. "When people see an albumen print, they think of old, historical things," she says. Her Utopia series plays with that perception by incorporating digital manipulation and other "false" elements into landscape shots that are then printed with albumen (505-982-5009; vervegallery.com). Joe McNally, a longtime instructor at the Workshops, also happens to be "perhaps the most versatile photojournalist working today," according to American Photo magazine. Forty-five photographs from his career as a contributor to the likes of Life, Newsweek, and National Geographic will be on exhibit October 3–November 23 at Monroe Gallery, which specializes in black and white photography.

Basics of Digital Photography
"Get off auto" is the unofficial motto of this beginners' workshop, where students wrest control from in-camera computers by learning their way around apertures, shutter speeds, lenses, and more. Taught by Will Van Beckum.
Intensive: Adobe Lightroom & Photoshop for Photographers
In the nineties, Santa Fe hosted one of the first Photoshop workshops anywhere in the world. Rick Allred jumped on board, and he's been working with and teaching Adobe's photo-editing suite ever since. Lightroom, the focus of this workshop geared toward pros and dedicated amateurs, combines photo-processing capabilities with a library module that helps keep photos organized.
Wet-Plate Portraits
The award-winning Native photographer Will Wilson teaches this new workshop on the haunting 19th-century collodion process for which his photographs have become known. You can read more about his work in our 2013 article, "Will Wilson's Improved Self-Images" (mynm.us/nm-wilson).
Nikon D800: Getting the Most from Your Camera
Thanks in part to its high-quality sensor, the D800 is "one of the most amazing pieces of photographic equipment ever made," says instructor Eduardo Rubiano, whose workshop offers personalized instruction to help students master this sophisticated camera.
Intensive: Basics of Digital Printmaking
"A photograph isn't really finished until you hold a print of it in your hand," says Will Van Beckum, who helps students save their shots from "digital purgatory" with instruction on subjects including calibration, color optimization, printer maintenance, and paper selection.
Mac Farnsworth was leaning on the bar, shooting bottles. A summer storm had been gathering over Main Street all afternoon, and the pale daylight trickling in through the swinging doors left the saloon murky. He squinted and shot again.
"This is just total freedom," he said, scooping his cowboy hat off the bar. "Look at what happens when I adjust the aperture. There's no way I'd get that light on auto."
All across an empty Bonanza Creek movie set, Farnsworth's fellow "Basics of Digital Photography" students fanned out with itchy shutter fingers, taming the West one weathered barn door or artfully framed windmill at a time. Their instructor, Rick Allred, roamed from camera to camera like a kindly but vigilant sheriff, dropping hints: Up this shutter speed, widen that lens.
"My favorite thing about teaching this course is that people come in with different versions of I can't—'I can't take good photos,' 'I can't get off auto,'" Allred said. "Over the course of the week you see them have these little epiphanies."
Santa Fe Photographic Workshops, whose offerings range from Allred's introductory course to programs that draw professional photographers from around the world, was born, in 1990, from a similar moment of inspiration. After working for 14 years at the seminal Maine Photographic Workshops, Reid Callanan decided it was time to strike out on his own—and to head west.
"I wanted to go to a different part of the country and have a different audience," said Callanan, who at 60 retains the casually rugged demeanor and swept-back hair suited to his role as owner and director of Santa Fe Workshops. "Santa Fe has this mystique about it as an artistic, creative community—which is not just a mystique, it's a reality. A lot of photographers have lived or visited here, from Paul Strand to Ansel Adams."
Mystique or no, Santa Fe's photo scene was just coming into its own when the Workshops arrived. "At the time there were a lot of people leaving big cities" for artistic Western towns, said Norman Mauskopf, a highly regarded documentary photographer who moved to Santa Fe from New York in 1991 and has taught at the Workshops. "There was this thing about leaving the East and West Coasts, and I think Santa Fe benefited from that." When that wave subsided, it left behind a more established photographic community, the city's few pioneering photographic galleries now supplemented by photo businesses like Twin Palms Publishers and institutions such as the Marion Center for Photographic Arts, at what is now Santa Fe University of Art and Design. Rixon Reed, who relocated the Photo Eye bookstore and gallery from Austin to Santa Fe in 1991 in part because of the buzz around the newly established Workshops, said the tourist rush has given way to more "serious people"— collectors and photo professionals.
The Workshops has done its part to sustain that growth. Each year, it draws an average of 1,200 students to over 150 workshops in Santa Fe. The standard course runs from Sunday to Friday, but many students return more than once, often year after year. The majority are nearing retirement age and come from Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and states such as California and Texas, although young and international students form a growing segment of the clientele. Last year, a tenth of all workshop participants came from 19 foreign countries.
By numbers alone, those visitors are a boon to New Mexico's photographic ecosystem. Students visit galleries, buy work, attend events, and browse Santa Fe's photographic bookshops. Some even put down roots, buying a second home or moving to the area. Callanan estimates that his company has inspired hundreds of people to live or spend meaningful time in the state over the past quarter-century.
"A lot of people come back to Santa Fe, whether it's for a job or vacation or to teach again," said Debbie Fleming Caffery, a longtime Workshops instructor and Guggenheim Fellow whose photographs have been collected by some of the world's most prestigious institutions. The Workshops' free summer lecture series, in which visiting instructors show and talk about their work each week, is another important contribution, she said, one that "educates the community."
Community is a word that pops up a lot around the Workshops, particularly in conversations with instructors. For professionals, the opportunity to learn from and network with the caliber of colleague the Workshops attracts is particularly valuable, and they're just as susceptible as students to the charms of Santa Fe life.
"One of the things that's kept me here is the photo community," said Allred, who studied photojournalism at New Mexico State University, in Las Cruces, has worked with the company since the nineties, and bought a home in Santa Fe. He enjoys a Zen photography group in town, where many of the participants have a history with the Workshops.
As Allred spoke, he was driving back from Bonanza Creek in the serene afterglow of the afternoon storm. The rain that had somehow bypassed his class now draped itself darkly over the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, affording a glimpse of the landscape and light that have long drawn photographers to New Mexico.
In the backseat, two of his students, teenage girls, peeked over each other's shoulders at the results of the day's shoot. They had spent much of the afternoon taking turns with classmates as models and portraitists, sharing the close-quarters intimacy of photographer and subject. After dinner, however, the students would disperse to the solitude of workstations and living quarters, where they'd sift through hundreds of image files in preparation for the next morning's class.
Santa Fe Workshops, like Santa Fe light, is ever changing. In earlier summers, students used to drop off film at dinnertime to be processed, then spend the evening exploring the Plaza or talking shop over margaritas—time that's now spent in front of laptops. But technology has also broadened the program's borders.
Bob Sacha is part of the vanguard. A longtime freelance photographer for National Geographic, he took an early interest in producing multimedia stories for the Web, skills he now teaches in a workshop that combines documentary video and audio. His students are a diverse group, but they share an enthusiasm for learning to shoot video—"the thing for every website now," he said.
In the spring, the Workshops will launch its first course on drone photography, with more video offerings in the works. There's talk of expanding the international programs, currently held in Mexico and Cuba, to Colombia or Costa Rica. And though students may spend less time together during the week, they now keep in touch afterward on Facebook and Instagram. Each time new frontiers open, new communities spring up.
On the last Friday night of the summer session, Mac Farnsworth was tired. After a week of nonstop photography, he was ready to get home to California and unwind on the golf course. Yet as students drank wine and chatted in a ballroom at the Inn and Spa at Loretto, everyone at Farnsworth's table agreed on one thing: The workshop was one of the best classes they'd ever taken.
Callanan stood to thank his staff for a successful 25th year. Speeches were made, toasts given. Then the lights went down and the week's slide shows began. Caffery's workshop had produced haunting portrait essays. Two of Sacha's students had made a documentary about Rick Allred's mother, who suffers from Alzheimer's. Allred's own students had tried their hand at capturing all sorts of things: runners in motion, trains at night, each other's faces. When a photo came up of five bottles on a saloon bar, the glass sang with a silvery light that had been nearly invisible the day before.
In the dark, Farnsworth smiled at his work. After decades of automatic photography, he was free, and the next day he would head west, taking what he'd learned with him. Already he was thinking of what he might shoot there.

USC Wrap-up: Tide makes a very good team look out of its league

There isn't a lot of argument about a team's ability to turn the flow of a game at will when that team can spot an opponent like Southern Cal an entire scoreless quarter of football, then put 52 points up in three quarters to hand the Trojans their worst loss in decades.
Alabama trailed 3-0 thanks to a rough first quarter that, hopefully, consolidated all of Alabama's freshman mistakes into a single, 15-minute block of time. The Crimson Tide then opened up both barrels and blasted the Trojans right out of the discussion of national title contenders.
Given the hype surrounding this Southern Cal team, but given that the Trojans could only muster a preseason ranking of 20th coming into the game, Alabama fans may be left to wonder whether the Trojans are really a re-emerging power, or whether this was just another case of television talking heads trying to gin up excitement for a game that would prove to be just another Alabama walkover. In hindsight, it's hard to argue against the latter being true, except that argument doesn't give Alabama its due credit for making the Trojans look very, very mortal.
On paper, Southern Cal probably has as much talent at wide receiver, running back and perhaps the defensive secondary as does the Crimson Tide. Quarterback Max Browne, who had a tough night against Alabama made worse by some key failings on the part of his teammates, was an Alabama recruiting target at one time and could start for just about any SEC program. But Alabama abused the Southern Cal offensive line, and especially in the second half, gutted both levels of the Southern Cal front seven.
Southern Cal's own attempts to shoot itself in the foot – most of them successful – also played a part. Alabama was the beneficiary of several penalties on special teams, the most memorable being key USC LB Jabari Ruffin inexplicably stomping Minkah Fitzpatrick in the groin as two officials were close enough to hear the ensuing "oof" from Fitzpatrick. As the referee so perfectly put it in describing the resulting penalty, Ruffin "disqualified himself from the game."
Between the pick-six that followed, a busted blitz that left WR ArDarius Stewart alone for a 71-yard touchdown pass and a fumbled punt snap that set Alabama up inside the USC 20-yard line, Alabama's game plan became less about long drives and ball security and more about simply cashing in.
Southern Cal may yet improve to the point that it's a contender for the PAC-12 crown. But with the amount of upheaval the Trojans are experiencing as the result of their recent coaching change, the team USC put on the field Saturday looks like it has many hurdles to jump before breaking out of the middle of the PAC-12's pack.
Either that, or Alabama simply is the juggernaut the scoreboard said it was.
Here's the Five-Point Breakdown for Alabama-Southern Cal:

1. QB depth chart looks both settled and unsettled at this time. If the game had ended when Alabama finally took Jalen Hurts out of it, there would be no question. Starter Blake Barnett struggled mightily out of the gate. He looked indecisive, nervous and intimidated. After Hurts' forgettable first play, a fumbled handoff on a zone-read play, he settled down quickly and displayed the same quiet footwork and maturity beyond his years that we've talked about on TideFans.com since the first time we reviewed his high school films. But after Barnett came back into the game, the storyline changed a bit. Hurts finished 6-of-11 for 118 yards, although it felt like much more, but Barnett was right on his heels – 100 yards passing on 5-of-6 throwing. Hurts turned the ball over twice, but Barnett was sacked twice. And then there's Cooper Bateman, who from Nick Saban's postgame comments, was right on the heels of the other two this week. It may take several weeks to shake out, but there was no denying Hurts' explosiveness.
2. DL depth chart, unfortunately, looks like a problem. Saban directly addressed the issue post-game, specifically that Alabama needs additional players to step up, and fast. The Raekwon Davis situation isn't over yet, and if Alabama could get him eligible before the meat of the schedule arrives, it would go a long way toward fixing the problem. Alabama played only four linemen when it mattered: starters Dalvin Tomlinson, Daron Payne and Jonathan Allen, and reserve Da'Shawn Hand. Josh Frazier and Dakota Ball played only a couple of snaps each before it got time to empty the bench. Once that happened, Jamar King joined in, but no one else. O.J. Smith and Johnny Dwight never played, nor did true freshman Quinnen Williams. Alabama simply cannot go into SEC play with only four down linemen, and Saban acknowledged that fact. Dalvin Tomlinson was briefly knocked out of this game. Alabama won't have a choice next week against Western Kentucky, as the Hilltoppers boast a prolific, tempo-filled offense. If Alabama plays only four down linemen for the entirety of that game, the Tide trainers might have to scrape them off the turf with a spatula afterward.
3. Down-the-depth-chart players make statements. One of the most fun things about the first game of the year is discovering contributors not at the top of the depth charts. On defense, there were plenty. MLB Keith Holcombe looked sharp in relief of Shaun Dion Hamilton and Reuben Foster. JLB Anfernee Jennings was in Southern Cal's backfield half a dozen times, disrupting plays. Walk-on Levi Wallace played well late in the game at cornerback. Two-way true freshman Trayvon Diggs showed signs of explosiveness on kick returns and may have to play more at wide receiver as a result of yet another injury to Cameron Sims. Alabama's true freshman running backs, B.J. Emmons and Joshua Jacobs, had good debuts, especially Jacobs, who looked almost angular going through the line. It's hard to say how much of these players will play as the season progresses, but there weren't any examples of true depth-related weakness, other than perhaps the aforementioned issues on the DL.

4. OL rebounded from a rough start to set the tone in the second half. The most disturbing thing about Bama's play in the early going wasn't the struggles at quarterback, it was the inability of the offensive line to get a push in the running game. Things settled down after Jalen Hurts entered and forced the Trojan safeties to back up out of the box, but as important as Hurts' presence was, the jelling of the middle of the offensive line was much more so. Center Bradley Bozeman isn't the tactician that the departed Ryan Kelly was, but he's a mauler and once he locks up with a defensive lineman, it's over. Guards Lester Cotton and Ross Pierschbacher finally found a rhythm, and largely as a result of those factors, Alabama rolled up 269 yards on the ground, led by 138 from Damien Harris. Alabama tallied 320 of its 465 total yards in the second half and almost all of its rushing yards then, as well. Alabama will need more from its OL this year than in previous years thanks to the learning curve at quarterback; this was a good first effort.
5. Speed on the defensive corners will carry Alabama through many tough spots. Probably the most dominant performance, top-to-bottom, came from Alabama's linebackers and whatever DE/JLB combo was playing the edge on any particular play. Ryan Anderson and Tim Williams were disruptive outside, while Reuben Foster and Shaun Dion Hamilton put on a clinic at inside linebacker. Jonathan Allen and Dalvin Tomlinson abused Southern Cal's offensive tackles. Southern Cal was left with no real weakness to target; the closest thing the Trojans could find was inexperienced junior CB Anthony Averett, but Averett ended up leading the team in tackles with 8 and more than held his own. Again, there needs to be a second wave developing here due to depth concerns – Anfernee Jennings and Rashaan Evans played a lot, but Alabama will need to see Christian Miller and Keith Holcombe more often over the course of the season. This is a defense that certainly has the potential to be dominant, but it feels like Alabama is one or two solid players away from being almost impenetrable. A great first effort as the 2016 season kicks off.

How Free Software Got Its Fonts
With the advent of free software for non-programmers, users ran into a licensing dilemma in a world of proprietary fonts.
A History of Open Source Fonts
Bruce Byfield
Most Linux users soon hear of the influence of the GNU General Public License (GPL) in the development of free software. However, fewer have heard of the influence of the SIL Font License, although it is as important for design as the GPL has been for software. Just as the GPL is responsible for the development of free software, so the SIL Font License has enabled the rise of the free font movement, making Linux a practical choice for designers and artists. Today, it is the most popular free license for fonts, although few know its story.
Today, many distributions install with a variety of fonts, some for enabling multiple languages, and others for design. Yet, until the early years of the millennium, fonts were an afterthought in free software. Free licensed fonts were packaged in most distributions, but they were intended for on-screen display, particularly in terminals. The emphasis was on monospaced fonts – fonts whose letters all took up exactly the same space – the kind familiar at the command line. If the quality was generally poor, no one minded, because the fonts were good enough for on-screen viewing, and most people using them were developers, not designers.
Around the turn of millennium, the needs of users started to change. For one thing, Gimp had developed to the point that it could be used for professional work. Just as importantly, in July 2000, Sun Microsystems released the StarDivision code that became OpenOffice.org, and later Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice, giving free software its first full office system. According to rumor, the StarDivision developers were told that they would have to use the Writer word processor to document their work, which meant that free software also had its first intermediate desktop publisher.
The problem was, fonts at the time were either proprietary or public domain. Obviously, proprietary fonts would be incompatible with free software, but what happened when a font was embedded in a GPL document? At the same time, font designers were concerned that, if they released their work under a free license, it might be included in collections of low-quality fonts, and their reputation might suffer as a result.
This body of issues was not covered by the GPL, then in its second version. In fact, the growing feeling was that the GPL was not suited to artistic works, which place an emphasis on authorship that is missing in most software projects. A similar perspective led to the GNU Free Documentation License in the same era.
Some of the Creative Commons licenses were more suitable for fonts, such as the Attribution-ShareAlike, but while they were an improvement over the GPL for fonts, neither they nor any other free license was ideal, either. Yet, if these concerns could be settled, free software could potentially attract a whole new body of users who were not developers.
The GPL Font Exception
One attempt to address these issues was the GPL Font Exception. Written by David Turner in 2005, the Font Exception is an optional clause at the end of the license:
"As a special exception, if you create a document which uses this font, and embed this font or unaltered portions of this font into the document, this font does not by itself cause the resulting document to be covered by the GNU General Public License. This exception does not however invalidate any other reasons why the document might be covered by the GNU General Public License. If you modify this font, you may extend this exception to your version of the font, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement from your version."
In other words, the document and embedded fonts are licensed separately, and the license of one does not affect the license of the other.
The Font Exception satisfied the Free Software Foundation's concerns, and was used by Red Hat in 2007 when it first released its Liberation Fonts, a collection of fonts that are metrically equivalent to Times New Roman, Arial, and Courier, occupying the same space as these three popular fonts, but different from them in design. However, the Font Exception did not address the concerns of font designers, so perhaps it is no accident that Google later relicensed the Liberation Fonts and released them under the Apache License 2.0, under the name CrosCore fonts. The Font Exception is still used today, but it has become a minority preference.
The Rise of SIL
Another solution was the license under which the Bitstream font family were licensed by Gnome in 2003. The Bitstream Vera License granted users "the rights to use, copy, merge, publish, distribute, and/or sell copies of the Font Software" so long as the copyright accompanied any use of the fonts. In addition, no derivative fonts could use the words "Bitstream" or "Vera" in their names and could not be sold alone.
Around the same time, SIL International, a Christian academic organization, was developing fonts to promote literacy in developing countries and to encourage the use of minority and previously unwritten languages. In 2006, Victor Gaultney, one of SIL's designers, released Gentium, a font he had designed for his Master of Arts in Typeface Design at the University of Reading under a license inspired by the Bitstream Vera License.
Gentium is important in the history of free fonts for two reasons. First, instead of being a derivative of a proprietary font, it was an original design. Based on calligraphic designs, it is undeniably a beautiful design of unquestionable quality.
Figure 1: Gentium, the font that started it all.
Second, its license was the first version of the SIL Font License. Revised in 2007, the SIL Font License went on to become the most popular license for free fonts. Although the requirement that a font using the license cannot be sold alone is technically a violation of the GPL, the requirement is so easy to fulfill that the SIL Font License is generally accepted as a free license. If you go to Google Fonts or the Open Font Library, and you will find that the SIL Font License is used by at least two-thirds of the available fonts.
The Legacy of SIL International
SIL International was also among the first to release fonts intended to have a complete set of Unicode characters; in fact, "Gentium" is Latin for "belonging to all nations." One of Gentium's notable features is long ascenders – upper strokes on letters like "b" or "h" – that give plenty of room for diacritical marks. Other fonts like Charis SIL and Doulos SIL might lack the beauty of Gentium, but their versatility set a standard for inclusion that other free font designers have strained to follow.
Figure 2: Charis (top) and Doulos (bottom) were among the first fonts to attempt to support the full range of Unicode characters.
Additionally, SIL International developed Graphite, a smart font system that allows the use of small capitals, old-style figures, and other advanced typographical features. Graphite is supported by applications such as LibreOffice and Mozilla, but only a couple of dozen fonts are designed to use it.
Still, in as little as 10 years, SIL International and its license have transformed free software. Where once high-quality free fonts could be number on two hands, now there are hundreds. Where once Linux was not a platform for designers, now professionals can use tools like LibreOffice, Inkscape, Krita, and Scribus. Where once many doubted that font designers would care to participate in free software, today there are dozens working alone and in teams. Without SIL International and its license, undoubtedly free software would be much less developed today.

Hey all you etchers out there!
I went overboard on my acqutint plate - it's printing very dark. Is there anyway I can salvage this thing in the printing process, say, with lighter inks?
Don't think there's much you can do in the printting process itself. But you can burnish it back. You use a burnisher (sort of spoon-shaped ended metal tool) to literally flatten the areas so they'll print lighter. Burnishers don't cost much, maybe $5 or so?, so it's well worth having one. It's good for toning down or even completely eliminating etched lines too.
If you're working in a print room with other people (which I'm assuming you are if you're a beginner using aquatint. Hopefully there's a technician or supervisor) then maybe someone there has one you could try out?
That is exactly what my instructor told me last night! She is going to show me next week. BTW, I do have a burnisher and it cost me $18. Canadian. Go figure!!!

The Federal Trade Commission today released its report titled "Marketing Violent Entertainment to Children: A Review of Self-Regulation and Industry Practices in the Motion Picture, Music Recording & Electronic Game Industries." The Report was conducted in response to a request from President Clinton on June 1, 1999, as well as similar requests from Members of Congress, to answer two questions about the marketing of violent entertainment material: Do the industries promote products they themselves acknowledge warrant parental caution in venues where children make up a substantial percentage of the audience? And are these advertisements intended to attract children and teenagers? The report found that "for all three segments of the entertainment industry, the answers are plainly 'yes.'"
The report finds that while the entertainment industry has taken steps to identify content that may not be appropriate for children, the companies in those industries still routinely target children under 17 in their marketing of products their own ratings systems deem inappropriate or warrant parental caution due to violent content. The FTC found evidence of marketing and media plans that expressly target children under 17, and promote and advertise products in media outlets most likely to reach children under 17. The report also publishes an FTC survey that shows children under 17 are frequently able to buy tickets to R-rated movies without parental accompaniment and purchase music recordings and electronic games with parental advisory labels or are restricted to an older audience.
In response to these findings, the Commission recommends additional action by the industry to enhance their self-regulatory efforts. The report makes no legislative recommendations to Congress on this issue.
According to FTC Chairman Robert Pitofsky, the report illustrates clear shortcomings in industry efforts to limit access to age-inappropriate material to children. "Companies in the entertainment industry routinely undercut their own rating restrictions by target marketing violent films, records, and video games to young audiences. These industries can and should do better than this report illustrates."
Movies: Of the 44 movies rated R for violence the Commission selected for its study, the Commission found that 35, or 80 percent, were targeted to children under 17. Marketing plans for 28 of those 44, or 64 percent, contained express statements that the films target audience included children under 17. Plans for the other seven movies were either extremely similar to the plans of the films that did identify an under-17 target audience, or they detailed plans indicating they were targeting that age group, such as promoting the film in high schools or publications with majority under-17 audiences.
Music: Of the 55 music recordings with explicit content labels the Commission selected for its review, the Commission found that all were targeted to children under 17. Marketing plans for 15, or 27 percent, expressly identified children under 17 as part of their target audience. The documents for the remaining 40 explicit-content labeled recordings did not expressly state the age of the target audience, but detailed plans indicating they were targeting that age group, including placing advertising in media that would reach a majority or substantial percentage of children under 17.
Games: Of the 118 electronic games with a Mature rating for violence, the Commission selected for its study, 83, or 70 percent, targeted children under 17. The marketing plans for 60 of these, or 51 percent, expressly included children under 17 in the target audience. Documents for the remaining 23 games showed plans to advertise in magazines or on television shows with a majority or substantial under-17 audience.
In addition to the information gathered on marketing, the FTC conducted studies from May-July 2000 on children's ability to buy violent entertainment material, which found most retailers make little effort to restrict children's access to products with violent content. Just under half the movie theaters admitted children ages 13 to 16 to R-rated films even when not accompanied by an adult. The surveys also revealed that unaccompanied children ages 13 to 16 were able to buy both explicit recordings and Mature-rated electronic games 85 percent of the time.
Establish or expand codes that prohibit target marketing to children and impose sanctions for violations. All three industries should improve the usefulness of their ratings and labels by establishing codes that prohibit marketing R-rated/M-rated/explicit-labeled products in media or venues with a substantial under-17 audience. In addition, the Commission suggests that each industry's trade associations monitor and encourage their members' compliance with these policies and impose meaningful sanctions for non-compliance.
Increase compliance at the retail level by checking identification or requiring parental permission before selling tickets to R movies, and by not selling or renting products labeled "Explicit" or rated R or M, to children under 17.
Increase parental understanding of the ratings and labels by including the reasons for the rating or the label in all advertising and product packaging. The Commission also calls on the industry to continue efforts to educate parents -- and children -- about the meanings of ratings and descriptors.
According to the Commission, implementation of these suggestions would significantly improve the present self-regulatory regimes: "Self-regulatory programs can work only if the concerned industry associations monitor compliance and ensure that violations have consequences." In addition, the Commission believes that "continuous public oversight is also required and that Congress should continue to monitor the progress of self-regulation in this area."
The report was approved by the Commission by a vote of 5-0.

Decision to Discontinue the Future Distribution of Iodine Tablets
Published: 3 April 2008
From: Department of Health
During 2002, iodine tablets, intended to be taken in the event of a major nuclear accident that might result in the release of radio-active iodine, were issued to each household.
Mary Harney TD, Minister for Health and Children has decided, on the basis of expert risk management advice, not to re-issue these tablets.
In 2002, Ireland was the only country to issue iodine tablets to each household and it is now recognised that the risks which may have existed then have now been substantially reduced. In particular, there was concern at the time about the vulnerability of the Calder Hall reactors on the Sellafield site: however, these reactors are no longer operational.
The decision not to re-issue iodine tablets has been taken on the basis of the low risk of a radio-active iodine release and in the context of best international practice which does not recommend general household distribution other than in the immediate vicinity of a nuclear reactor.
Use of iodine tablets following an accident at a nuclear facility
A serious accident at a nuclear power plant may involve the release of a number of radioactive elements into the atmosphere – including radioactive iodine (also known as radio-iodine). When inhaled or ingested, radio-iodine tends to concentrate in the thyroid gland giving rise to high concentrations in this organ. High concentrations of radio-iodine in the thyroid gland increase a person's risk of developing thyroid cancer. Iodine prophylaxis, or the administration of stable iodine (usually in the form of iodine tablets), reduces or prevents the uptake of radio-iodine by the thyroid gland.
Iodine tablets are effective in reducing the radiation dose from radio-iodine following a nuclear accident – they do not reduce the radiation dose from other radioactive elements. Staying indoors and controlling the consumption of contaminated foodstuffs are effective methods of reducing the radiation dose from all radioactive elements – including radio-iodine.
The International Atomic Energy Agency and the World Health Organisation have published guidance on the level of radiation dose that would indicate the need for stable iodine as an intervention measure. The Radiological Protection Institute of Ireland (RPII) uses this guidance in its assessment of potential protective actions for any future nuclear accident.
How likely is it that an accident at a nuclear facility abroad will require the use of iodine tablets in Ireland?
The threat of an accident at a nuclear facility abroad involving the release of a large quantity of radio-iodine has very much receded in recent years with the closure of two of the oldest and most vulnerable nuclear reactors in the UK, namely Calder Hall and Chaplecross. Sellafield does not pose a threat with regard to radio-iodine as the activities carried out there do not generate radio-iodine isotopes.
The closest nuclear power station to Ireland is the Wylfa Nuclear Power Plant in North Wales which is 114 km from the Irish coastline. As part of the RPII's remit to provide advice and information to the Government on nuclear safety issues, the RPII visited the Wylfa Plant in late 2006. One of the key areas examined during the visit was the potential impact on Ireland of an accident or incident at Wylfa. Using the information made available to it, the RPII carried out a detailed analysis of different accident scenarios and concluded that, even in a worst case scenario, the use of iodine tablets would not be justified in Ireland following such an accident at Wylfa.
What are other countries doing?
Information from a number of countries indicates that Belgium, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Sweden and Switzerland have pre-distributed iodine in the vicinity of nuclear reactors – the area covered has ranged from 4 km to 20 km radius of the nuclear reactors. In the UK, the decision to pre-distribute rests with the local authority and it has only occurred in a limited number of cases and a 3 km radius has tended to be used.
What should householders do with their iodine tablets?
They should dispose of the tablets as normal household waste but they should not remove the tablets from the packaging material.


Mumbai: Tata Steel Ltd said its consolidated quarterly earnings rose more than six times, boosted by Corus for which it won a bidding war in January to become the world's sixth-largest steel maker.
Releasing consolidated results for the first time after the acquisition, the company said in a statement late on 28 August post-tax profit rose to Rs6388 crore for April-June, from Rs1014 crore in the year-ago quarter.
Consolidated net revenue that also include other international operations such as NatSteel and Tata Steel (Thailand) rose more than five times to Rs31555 crore from Rs5748 crore a year earlier.
The year-earlier figures do not include the Anglo-Dutch steel maker, the acquisition of which was completed in April.
In July, Tata Steel had said its standalone net profit rose 28% to Rs1222 crore in the fiscal first-quarter ended June.
At 0526 GMT, shares in Tata Steel were up 2.4% at Rs620 in a Mumbai market that was down 0.8%. The shares have risen nearly 29% this year, outperforming a 7.3% rise in the benchmark index.


For some reason, I'm posting a lot of photos of stuffed animals lately and I'm not sure why. This one is hard to make out clearly, but it looks like a bear in a tree. The rain and the cold make it particularly sad, as if it were stuck up there with no way of getting down. Only a pair of shoes to keep it company.

Sharon Leite, CEO of The Vitamin Shoppe, Spoke to a Packed Audience for the Tandy Executive Speaker Series
Leite talked about power of being customer-obsessed, choosing culture over climbing the corporate ladder, focusing on the "why," and mentoring TCU students.
As the sun rose over the TCU campus, 275 business professionals and students sat down for breakfast with Dean Daniel Pullin and his guest, Sharon Leite, CEO of The Vitamin Shoppe, for the Tandy Executive Speaker Series.
Leite is leading the turnaround and reinvention of The Vitamin Shoppe as it becomes a multi-channel retailer in health and wellness with over 750 stores and an e-commerce business. Prior to The Vitamin Shoppe, she was president of the Americas for Godiva Chocolatier, president of Sally Beauty (US and Canada), and spent over eight years at Pier 1 Imports as the EVP of sales, digital, customer experience and real estate. She has held leadership roles at Bath and Body Works, Gap Inc. and The Walt Disney Company. She is a member of the board of the TCU Neeley School of Business.
Leite told the crowd that she is customer-obsessed.
"To succeed today you have to understand your customer – who they are and what they want – and the only way to do that is with fantastic data and data analytics," she said. "It's amazing how many businesses today don't ask their customer what they want. If you don't know your customer then how can you figure out the tactics, activity and engagement you want to have with your customer?"
Leite also emphasized that, "for brands, it is important to know who you are, but also who you aren't."
She talked about her career, having the courage to choose culture and challenge herself, to go backward in order to go forward, and the importance of taking risks to grow and have agility in your career.
Leite said that, as a leader, she focuses on the "why" and "how" before addressing the "what," to give her team the context and understanding to executing the "what" in a way that is right for the organization.
Leite answered questions posed by Daniel Pullin, the John V. Roach Dean of the TCU Neeley School of Business, from bone density to the density of insights. She also answered questions from the audience, a mix of business leaders and students.
"I think it's important for people in the business community who have had success, have had some trials and tribulations, to teach and coach people. I love the opportunity to help others," she said. "I get inspired by our students and what they think and what's important to them. As somebody who is obsessed with the customer, it's another way to learn and for the business leaders in this room to leverage these incredible students and educators in Fort Worth to the benefit of the larger community and our future leaders."
The Tandy Executive Speaker Series is TCU Neeley's premier event for DFW business professionals.
Sponsors are: Frost (exclusive platinum sponsor). Fort Worth Business Press (gold). Linbeck and Balcom Agency (silver). Acme Brick, Byrne Construction Services, Dunaway, Gensler and McDonald Sanders (bronze).

Q: getApplicationContext() outside onCreate to upload an image I want to upload a image to the server. But I need to send with it the username from the user that is sending the image.
I have the username record in SharedPreferences, so I think I could get it:
public class UploadRequest extends StringRequest {
    private static final String REGISTER_REQUEST_URL = "http://160.128.0.10/up.php";
    private Map<String, String> params;

    public UploadRequest(String image, String name, Response.Listener<String> listener){
        super(Method.POST, REGISTER_REQUEST_URL, listener, null);

        SharedPreferences pref = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("pref01", MODE_PRIVATE);
// CANNOT RESOLVE SYMBOL getApplicationContext
        String user = pref.getString("username", null);

        params = new HashMap<>();
        params.put("image",image);
        params.put("name",name);
    }

    @Override
    public Map<String, String> getParams() {
        return params;
    }
}

is it wrong? how can I get this username?

A: getApplicationContext() can only be called from a subclass of Context, Activity is one of them which is why you can call getApplicationContext() from your Activity.
What you need to do is either have a global Context initialised in your Application class (wouldn't recommend) or pass in Context as a parameter to this class.

A: What you need to do is, just pass the context of the main activity to this class by its constructor. So, create constructor as:
public UploadRequest(Context context, String image, String name, Response.Listener<String> listener){
    super(Method.POST, REGISTER_REQUEST_URL, listener, null);

    SharedPreferences pref = context.getSharedPreferences("pref01", MODE_PRIVATE);
// CANNOT RESOLVE SYMBOL getApplicationContext
    String user = pref.getString("username", null);

    params = new HashMap<>();
    params.put("image",image);
    params.put("name",name);
}

And when you initialize it from your activity, pass this argument as the context of the activity. Something like this:
UploadRequest ur = new UploadRequest(this, OTHER_PARAMETERS_HERE);

As mentioned in comments by others, your code is not working because  getApplicationContext() is a function and you can call it if and only if the object has that function defined.

A: Your are not allowed to use getApplicationContext() so easily anywhere in android. so the error is perfectly alright from android point of view.
Do not use context references anywhere mainly in case of network calls. Many times contexts are tied to Ui(Activity). You will run into difficult times of    NullPointersExpetions.
Solution :
Pass your username as parameter.
public class UploadRequest extends StringRequest {
private static final String REGISTER_REQUEST_URL = "http://160.128.0.10/up.php";
private Map<String, String> params;

public UploadRequest(String image, String usernName,String name, Response.Listener<String> listener){
    super(Method.POST, REGISTER_REQUEST_URL, listener, null);

    SharedPreferences pref = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("pref01", MODE_PRIVATE);
// CANNOT RESOLVE SYMBOL getApplicationContext
    String user = pref.getString("username", null);

    params = new HashMap<>();
    params.put("image",image);
    params.put("name",name);
}

@Override
public Map<String, String> getParams() {
    return params;
}
}

In the early days it can seem a bit daunting to go out and about with your little one and the idea of breastfeeding in public places can be difficult to overcome. However, try to remember most people won't be bothered or even notice that you are feeding your baby.
To build your confidence, whilst getting support and tips from other mums, why not come along to one of our Breastfeeding Buddy groups and breastfeed outside your home for the first time. To find out where and when your nearest group is visit our Facebook page.
Don't forget, the law is also on your side and you can breastfeed wherever you want to. The Equality Act 2010 says it is discrimination to treat you unfavourably because you are breastfeeding. Further information about your rights to breastfeed can be found at Maternity Action.

Who else is getting Android 2.2?
Google today officially pushed out its "Froyo" Android 2.2 update to owners of the Google Nexus One smartphone. What other Android handsets can we expect to see with the update in the near future?
HTC has recently confirmed that the Froyo update will be available to owners of the HTC Legend, Desireand Wildfireover the course of Q3. This, of course, could mean as early as next week or as late as September, and will depend not only on HTC's engineers building the modified firmware for your phone model, but on the Australian carriers testing and approving this new build as well.
Samsung, Sony Ericsson and Motorola are also working on updating the firmware in their respective Android products. Samsung in the US recently confirmed that it will upgrade its Galaxy S series of devices to 2.2 but did not specify a timeline, while Sony Ericsson has committed to a Q4 release of the update for theXperia X10 and X10 mini. Motorola is the only manufacturer to be planning a handset with 2.2 installed out of the box, with the US-only Droid X handset to ship with Froyo in the coming weeks. Motorola will also upgrade its low-end trio, the Backflip, Quench and Dext, but only to the 2.1 version of Google's OS.
Discuss: Who else is getting Android 2.2?
