As the world demands action on climate change, Governor Newsom and the California Air Resources Board vote to continue burning fossil fuels and carbon offsets with Tropical Forest Standard
(Image: Indigenous Environmental Network - Twitter)
Indigenous delegation from Brazil, Ecuador, and California join with allies expressing outrage at decision
Today the California Air Resources Board (CARB) voted to adopt the Tropical Forest Standard (TFS) despite outcry from Indigenous leaders from across the world and their allies. On the eve of a globally-coordinated week of climate strikes that are demanding action, CARB's decision does nothing more than allow corporations to pay to pollute frontline communities. The Tropical Forest Standard will set guidelines for tropical forest carbon credits, which would open the door to the international aviation sector and other polluters to "offset" their carbon emissions from fossil fuels.
Quotes from Indigenous leaders and allies who spoke at the hearing today:
Ana Valadez Ortega, Researcher, Centro for Change in Rural Mexico (CECCAM)
"We have initiated litigation in Mexico against the State of California for the Tropical Forest Standard in the courts of Cancun because it is illegal and illegitimate and violates Mexico's constitution as well as the right to self-determination of Indigenous Peoples. California does not have jurisdiction over our territories or lives."
Marlon Santi, National Coordinator of Pachakutik, Kichwa People of Sarayaku
"The adoption of the so-called Tropical Forest Standard is carbon colonialism. Our territories are not carbon dumps. We are defenders of the forest and the sky. We will not allow the sky to become a business venture."
Tom Goldtooth, Executive Director, Indigenous Environmental Network
"Despite a strong showing of our Anti-TFS Coalition with heartfelt testimony of our Indigenous delegation, the California Air Resources Board narrowly passed adoption of the Tropical Forest Standard.. I do not take this as a lost, but it encourages our movement to continue to expose the financialization of nature and Mother Earth in these carbon capitalism deals that allow greenwash by the fossil fuel polluters. The TFS will become a model in tropical forested regions of the world. It is linked to carbon offset regimes that will fuel more land grabs, land enclosures, expropriations, predatory capitalism and violence in the rainforests."
Thomas Joseph, Indigenous person of California, Co-Director, California Kitchen
"I can't believe California is going to continue the plague of colonialism and genocide right after Governors Newsom apology for the atrocities of Indigenous Peoples of California. I'm asking Governor Newsom and elected representatives of California legislators to act now in the protection of Indigenous communities and to demand real solutions from California polluters. We have no time for false solutions when it comes to climate change. Governor Gavin Newsom these crimes against humanity are in your hands."
Ninawa Huni Kui, traditional leader and President of the Hui Kui People's Federation of the Brazilian Amazon in the State of Acre
"California forest offsets and REDD+ are part of "Green" capitalism, which privatizes Life and violates human rights. California's carbon forest offsets are a huge lie from start to finish. Offsets do not reduce emissions. If Californian politicians want to paint themselves as saviors of the planet, they must not promote false solutions to climate change like the TFS that threaten Indigenous Peoples' survival. We defend the Sacred. We defend Mother Earth. The Sky is not for sale! "
Tamra Gilbertson, Climate Change and Forest Policy Advisor, Indigenous Environmental Network
"There has been strong manipulation of fact throughout this process by proponents of forest offsets and carbon pricing systems. The California Air Resources Board has now signaled to the world that it is more concerned about maintaining the corporate status quo than protecting tropical forests. Indigenous peoples' livelihoods are on the line. We can't be distracted by these false solutions because this fight must continue. Therefore we will regroup and strengthen our efforts for resistance in the coming months."
Alexandra Nagy, California Director, Food & Water Action
"Governor Newsom and the California Air Resource Board had an opportunity to show global leadership on climate change by rejecting this pay-to-pollute scheme masquerading as a forest preservation plan. Instead, they chose to support this policy that will continue the oil and gas industry's plan to frack California into oblivion. Their decision to turn a blind eye to the concerns of both indigenous communities and fence line neighborhoods that are bearing the brunt of impacts from fossil fuels is unconscionable, especially as young people around the world demand bold action to combat the climate crisis."
Established in 1990, The Indigenous Environmental Network is an international environmental justice nonprofit that works with tribal grassroots organizations to build the capacity of Indigenous communities. IEN's activities include empowering Indigenous communities and tribal governments to develop mechanisms to protect our sacred sites, land, water, air, natural resources, the health of both our people and all living things, and to build economically sustainable communities.

ICE MARATHON Clean Water Preservation Run
Weather in Listvyanka
run@baikal-marathon.org events@absolute-siberia.com
Russia's most exotic footrace
The world's fastest marathon on ice
RULES & TERMS
Put one foot in front of the other- Baikal Ice Marathon 2015
LARA MCCOY ROSLOF
More than 650 people sent applications for the running across Baikal. Source: Lara McCoy
The 11th running of the Baikal Ice Marathon was less of a run and more of a forced march.
I'm not sure when I first thought about running the Baikal Ice Marathon. I looked at the website for years before finally deciding in October 2014 to apply. It never occurred to me that I might not be accepted. After all, if you're crazy enough and have the resources to go run a marathon in Siberia, who would say no? But it was not so simple. More than 650 people sent inquiries about the 11th running of the race on March 1, 2015; 178 were accepted as participants - 44 for the half-marathon and 134 for the full. I was one of those lucky few.
On the morning of Feb. 28, I flew into Irkutsk, the largest city close to Baikal, and took a bus with some other runners to Listvyanka, a tiny resort town on the edge of the lake. My first glimpse of Baikal was, indeed, magical, as many friends had told me it would be. It was a gloriously sunny day and the ice sparkled. Although the ice was around 30 cm thick, it still sat on top of many, many feet of water, and when that water moved, so did the ice.
This "breathing," as the race organizers called it, caused large chunks of ice to emerge in shards about 10 cm thick on the surface. These thick pieces of ice lay along the shoreline, a kind of ice wave. As soon as I checked into my hotel, I ran out onto the ice, which seemed like the thing to do.

Everywhere I turned, children were sliding around, ice skaters were swirling by, people in ATVs rushed past. I even saw a guy riding a bicycle. The south edge of the lake was ringed by snow-covered mountains, and all the people wandering around in snow suits gave the setting a bit of a Colorado ski town atmosphere.
On the ice itself, the areas with some snow cover were perfectly fine for walking, but the clear ice was slick as glass. I wondered how it would feel under running shoes.
At the race briefing that night, the organizers told us that much of the course had a layer of snow, so running spikes weren't necessary. "Good," I thought," snow is traction, this should be ok." I made a final decision not to wear my YakTrax.
The full marathon crosses the whole of the lake, between the towns of Listvyanka and Tanhoy. The starting point varies each year, depending on conditions. This year, the organizers determined conditions looked more promising in Tanhoy, so on the morning of March 1, those of us staying in Listvyanka boarded hovercraft to cross the lake. Riding a hovercraft on ice is a bit like being in a bumper car you can't control.
Our hovercraft careened across the lake, flying over ice shards. The trip was supposed to trace the exact path of the course, so we could see what we were in for. We quickly spotted little red flags marking the route – one every 100 meters – well, until the hovercraft crushed a few.
The further we traveled, the harder it became to see the little red flags. The wind picked up and thick snow was falling. It was impossible to see much past the front bumper of the hovercraft. "This is not going to be fun," remarked one of the other passengers.
Somewhere between the 21 and 35-kilometer mark, we saw the race organizers get out of a separate hovercraft and examine a thick crack in the ice. It had been warmer than usual this year and the final course was only plotted days before the race.
Even the morning of the event, shifting ice forced the race director to mark parts of the course with red paint to warn runners away. The ice was thick enough – the point was not that you might fall in – but running over the ice shards caused by the moving water below was like running over a series of large, slick, sharp boulders.
On your marks, get set: How running got back on track in Russia
After a while, we couldn't see the flags at all – not because of the weather, but because our hovercraft had veered too far from the course. Two new hovercraft showed up to rescue us and take us on to the race site. As we climbed into the second hovercraft, someone asked, "Will they start the race without us?" One of the guys inside replied, "well, I'm the race director, so they won't start without me."
This comforting thought soon became uncomfortable when he asked to hold my foot. "Are you running in those?" the race director asked, feeling the upper of my Nike Lunarglides. I said I had run all winter in them in Moscow. I bought them knowing they would be the shoes that would take me over Baikal. I had worn Lunarglides for years.
"This isn't Moscow," he said, "this is Siberia. This is Baikal. The wind can come up unexpectedly and will freeze you from the feet up. You'd better make a special appeal to the lake spirits for good weather – for all of us, but especially you."
I had never considered that I might have the wrong footwear, but now this thought trumped the idea that I might get lost in the snow and my frozen body would sink into the lake in the spring. But there was nothing to be done. They were the shoes I had.
After more than an hour, we arrived at a lodge in Tanhoy. About 100 runners were milling around, waiting for the Listvyanka group to arrive. The trip had taken longer than expected and everyone was anxious to get started. Practically as soon as we jumped down from the hovercraft, it was time to get to the starting line. Runners burst of the lodge down a slippery path to the lake.
Volunteers checked off our numbers as we left the lodge in an attempt to make sure everyone who headed out into the blinding snow made it to the other end. As we approached the start, we were each given a cup of sour milk. Although the ritual of the sour milk wasn't particularly well explained in the chaos, the idea seemed to be that to appease and honor the ancient spirits of the lake, you dipped your fourth finger in a cup of sour milk and sprinkled the air four times – one for each of the winds.
And then, suddenly, the race began. I didn't even really hear any announcement, but in one moment, I looked up from fiddling with my iPod and a long train of runners was heading out, almost in single-file. I had read somewhere that if it was a clear day, you could see the finish line from the start; I couldn't see much beyond one runner in front of me. Soon enough, I wasn't looking ahead at all – I had to look down to see where I was going.
The course was covered in snow at least 5 inches deep. My foot sank to my ankle with every step. I had run in snowstorms before; I recalled a particularly memorable training run in which the footsteps I left in the courtyard of my building were completely erased by snow by the time I got back. But the snow cover on the ground, even in that run, was no more than two or three inches at most. Now I felt like I would do better running in snowshoes.
One thing about it – the glacial pace meant that I didn't feel especially tired. I passed a few people. A few people passed me. I made sure that I was always close behind someone – preferably someone with a brightly colored running jacket. At the 5k mark, I tapped my iPod to check the time. Thirty-nine minutes. My average 5k time is 26. The next 5k went by fairly quickly, all things considered.

At one point between 7 and 10 kilometers, a patch of ice appeared under the snow. We all took advantage of it to pick up the pace, but it lasted only a few hundred meters. At the 10k mark (1 hour, 20 minutes), it stopped snowing for a while. I looked around and there was white as far as I could see in every direction. I thought of all the articles I'd read about polar expeditions where people wandered off into the blinding snow. The landscape was beautiful in its own way, but more otherworldly than beautiful.
I had told myself that I wouldn't eat or drink anything until the second aid station at kilometer 14. At about 12 kilometers, I found myself stumbling more than usual and then I simply fell over. The snow made a soft cushion. There was never any thought of stopping. I just kept on moving, one foot in front of the other, in that long line of runners. Sometime after 12k, I fell in with a little group of about four runners and we moved along together for a while, single-file, like members of a chain gang.
The next aid station appeared – and it was at the 15k mark. We had gone one kilometer further than expected. It's hard to express the relief I felt at being even that little bit closer to the end. I ate an energy gel and gulped a bottle of water. And I met Emma, a British girl who also lived in Moscow, who chatted with me and got me through the last 6k. As we jogged along, the closest person in front of us was a tall man who wasn't running at all, just stumbling through the snow. "He looks like that scene from Doctor Zhivago," Emma said.

Finally, in the distance, a red tent appeared – the 21k mark and the end of the half-marathon. I stared at it for several hundred meters, trying to determine if it was a mirage. But it was real. I'd been shuffling along, but decided I would run the last 400 meters, no matter what it took. Because of the slow pace, I still had plenty of energy, and I gathered it up, plowing by those last few course marker flags. At the 21k sign, I turned off my iPod – 2 hours, 59 minutes, 56 seconds. A full hour more than I had expected to run.
"I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy," Emma said.
I didn't know exactly what I had expected the race to be or how I had expected to feel, but it certainly wasn't this. I had expected to run a race on ice. I had expected to feel proud of my accomplishment. I thought I would post photos and my race time on Facebook and gain some serious street cred. I didn't feel like that. I hadn't run a half-marathon, I had only survived a forced march through deep snow. It was something anyone could do, given the circumstances.
I went into the red tent and took off my shoes. Steam rose from my feet. A hovercraft arrived to take us back to Listvyanka. As we approached the shore, the driver steered away from the race course and threw the craft into a series of spins.

"It's better than Disneyland!" said one of the girls sitting across from me. The sun came out. The ice sparkled. I had run 21km across Lake Baikal. I guess it was an accomplishment after all.

Kennedy Center brings Dutch theatre and dance to young U.S. audiences through Virtual Field Trips
13 November 2020 — 31 December 2020
2700 F Street Northwest, Washington, D.C., DC 20566, USA Washington, DC Area
#covid-19 #interactive #music #never-grow-up #performing-arts #theater
Supported by Dutch
Thomas Geurts
John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington brings Dutch theatre and dance for young audiences to the United States.
Through Virtual Field Trips dedicated to performances by De Dansers and Maas Theater and Dance, Kennedy Center offers exclusive video registrations and interactive assignments for children to enjoy together with their families and teachers. The Virtual Field Trips are developed in collaboration with Dutch Performing Arts and the Dutch Culture USA program by the Netherlands Consulate General in New York.
The collaboration is part of the Never Grow Up! program. Launched in 2019, Never Grow Up! brings an abundance of Dutch film, literature and performing arts for young audiences to the United States. The program presents and shares a wide range of work from the Netherlands for young audiences at festivals, conferences and other platforms, all representing a respect for young people and dedication to youth culture as an autonomous art form.
Virtual Field Trips presenting Dutch theatre and dance for young audiences
Together with the educational team of Kennedy Center, Dutch companies De Dansers and Maas Theater and Dance developed special video registrations of their performances, tailored to children in the U.S. The videos are accompanied by interactive assignments to encourage children to reflect on the themes of the performances, discuss topics with their peers, families and/or teachers, and move and dance along with the performers.
Visit the website of Kennedy Center to get a preview of the Virtual Field Trips of:
De Dansers – 'Pokon' dance | 4+
Maas Theater and Dance – 'EGG-tion HERO' theatre | 3+
A unique collaboration in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, where the two groups faced with travel restrictions and Kennedy Center unable to open for in-person event, quickly pivoted to re-work and recreate their artistic content and adapt the performances into engaging virtual experiences.
"Capturing the performance's heart and soul on film"
Miriam Gilissen and Guy Corneille of De Dansers are pleased with the outcome: "The production of 'Pokon The Movie' and the close collaboration with Kennedy Center were an enriching experience for us. At first, we were a bit hesitant about the concept of an online program. With our performances we always strive to establish a physical and warm personal connection; that's why we don't usually opt for digital forms of presentation. But these unusual circumstances ask for creative solutions, and it didn't take long for us to see this would lead to incredible opportunities. We were thrilled about the prospect of reaching children in the U.S. with our work, despite of our live performances having been cancelled due to COVID.
The collaborative process with Kennedy Center was inspiring. They were eager to share our edgy, European-style work with their audiences. This really motivated us to try and capture the heart & soul and anarchist spirit of the original 'Pokon' performance on film. We appreciate the time and means we were given to gather expertise to explore how our work could be translated to an on-screen performance. Looking back, this process brought us a new understanding and appreciation of how we can share our work in a digital and interactive way; we're looking forward to doing this more often in the future."
"Third time's the charm"
"Our international hit production 'EGG-tion HERO' was scheduled to start playing at Kennedy Center November last year", says Rosa Brinks of Maas Theater and Dance. "After performances in Brussels, Belfast, Galway, Cairo, Kiev, Busan and Seoul, Washington D.C. was our next stop. Due to a delay in the visa processing however, the 11 performances were moved to May this year and then cancelled because of COVID. We were incredibly disappointed not being able to perform live. But the third time is the charm: thanks to the determination of Kennedy Center we are now able to bring 'EGG-tion HERO' to U.S. audiences in a digital way!
We embraced the challenging task of re-working our live performance and accompanying educational materials into a digital format. After an exciting process of exchanging ideas we came up with an entirely new and unique video registration. By having the Lisser Art Museum as the taped performance's location, the show gets a whole new dimension! Paired with the educational videos, this new version of EGG-tion HERO encourages young audiences at home to think about and interact with our performance in new and creative ways."
Season-long Dutch focus
The Virtual Field Trips are part of Kennedy Center's season-long Dutch focus, which also presented performances by Woest ('Balancing Bodies'), BonteHond ('GET 'M'), and Oorkaan ('Glimpse') in 2019 and earlier this year.
Also part of the Never Grow Up! programme, De Dansers and Maas Theater and Dance presented their shows to US-based presenters at IPAY Showcase 2019 in Philadelphia.
During 2019 and 2020, Never Grow Up! has been presenting Dutch film, literature, (music) theatre and dance that caters to young audiences and their families at events and venues such as Brooklyn Academy of Music, Kennedy Center, New York International Children's Film Festival and Brooklyn Book Festival. Presenters and agencies are invited to attend screenings, readings and performances, meet directors, writers and performers, and engage with representatives of Dutch expert organizations to discuss opportunities for collaboration and exchange.
#NeverGrowUp!
A joint effort of Dutch Performing Arts, Dutch Culture USA, Eye International, Netherlands Film Fund, Cinekid, Dutch Foundation for Literature, and DutchCulture, the programme aims to stimulate the dissemination and visibility of Dutch youth arts as well as cultural exchange and partnerships with renowned US-based presenters and organisations.

The Rise of the Wellness App
Our dependency on technology has concentrated wealth in America, making San Francisco home to the most billionaires per capita than any other city. Nearly all of them are white, cisgender men. The pay disparities that have long existed in Silicon Valley are growing, reproducing race and class hierarchies that devalue domestic and menial labor and errand work and obfuscating the human cost of increasing our ease in ordering groceries or takeout. This dystopian side stays hidden from view, which helps us ignore it and stay enmeshed with it.
Before the pandemic, the grocery-delivery app Instacart reportedly hemorrhaged hundreds of millions of dollars and struggled to turn a profit. In March, the company quickly hired 300,000 workers to meet demand at the height of the pandemic. As independent contractors, they were not eligible for health care benefits (though the company promised up to 14 paid days if they received a Covid-19 diagnosis or were required to quarantine). Instacart is now valued at more than $17 billion; many of its workers say they are barely earning minimum wage. The pandemic may have exposed class inequalities, but the technology that caused one group of people to risk their health while others who could afford to sit at home in comfort amplified and reinforced those inequalities.
Most tech companies have a well-polished party line about how their culture supports their most vulnerable workers. Alice Vichaita, head of global benefits at Pinterest, told me the company tries to build an "inspired culture" for its workers, with a focus on emotional well-being, which it sees as "a precondition to lead inspirational lives." During the pandemic, the mood-board search engine has offered creative mask-making tutorials and made statements in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
At the company, meanwhile, there was turmoil within: In June, Ifeoma Ozoma and Aerica Shimizu Banks, two former Black employees, aired reports of racist and sexist treatment and pay inequalities, and in August, Françoise Brougher, the company's former chief operating officer, sued Pinterest for gender discrimination. The disconnect between the company's outer offerings and inner workings is revealing of a dichotomy present across the tech industry — a desire to perform solidarity rather than enact policies that demonstrate it. Pinterest did not admit to any liability in the case of Brougher (who is white), but paid out a settlement of $22.5 million. Ozoma and Banks reportedly left with a severance of half their annual salary. There's simply no amount of free therapy or other corporate wellness perks that can offset the toxicity of racism and sexism in the workplace.
In late January, I went — meaning I logged into Zoom at the designated time — to a dharma talk called "How Technology Shapes Us." I was trying to work on the tension of relying on mindfulness mediated through an internet that is oriented toward disrupting it. The day opened with a brief sit, maybe 10 minutes. Though I've sat in meditation for much longer periods of time, my brain itched and did the electric slide and pretty much whatever else it wanted except dissolve into nothingness. It was impossible to become a pillar of peace while sitting in front of the void of the screen I use for work and entertainment, whose invisible and silent pull was irresistible.
"We already walk around with the seed of dissatisfaction and the sense that something could be better," Randima Fernando, a teacher at the dharma talk, told me later. "And the way we should navigate that sense of imperfection is taking a walk or meditating, but instead we reach for the supercomputers in our pockets." The first noble truth of Buddhism is that life contains unavoidable suffering. The second is that it is largely caused by cravings and desire for material goods, a need that can never be satisfied. Much of technology is designed to convince users that it can reduce that suffering, through on-demand access to information, other people, food and entertainment. But more often than not, it accelerates it.
Social media, for instance, monetizes the urgency of wanting, and there are economic incentives for keeping us engaged, unhappy, seeking, convinced there's something more to consume, something better to do, learn or buy. Buddhism teaches that there are no quick fixes, and apps like Calm are better at advertising relaxing services — and profiting from them — than they are at actually providing them in a meaningful way. "Mindfulness is less about reducing stress and more about reducing dissatisfaction through direct investigation of our experience," Fernando told me. "But marketing stress reduction is more successful, and definitely more likely to win a download or corporate account."

New York Jets start to the season will cost head coach Rex Ryan his job sooner rather than later, this is according to an NFL source that spoke to the New York Daily News this week.
The Jets and Rex Ryan are certainly in a tough spot right now. Ryan admitted at the weekend that four straight defeats for Gang Green has put the former Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator in a situation he has never been in before, with his back well and truly against the wall.
Ryan has revealed he will be taking a long hard look at himself during the next week as the Jets try to rebound after four devastating defeats. It doesn't look like it will get any better for the Jets as they face up against the Denver Broncos and Peyton Manning in week six, and an NFL source explained things will be getting a lot worse for Rex Ryan down the line also.
"Rex is done. It's over. It's dysfunctional the way the Jets did it by retaining the head coach after hiring a new general manager," an NFL source told New York Daily News.
Ryan may have his critics, but the Jets have always been strong on defense. Back to back trips to the AFC Championship Game in 2010 and 2011 showed that Ryan had promise as a coach and the Jets as a franchise, but the patience of Gang Green's fans has worn thin with three consecutive seasons of missing out on the playoffs following Ryan's initial early success.
The biggest criticism that you can fire Rex's way is that he has failed to develop a solid NFL quarterback. Mark Sanchez was his initial project but interceptions and fumbles cost him his job, and Geno Smith's career seems to be going down a similar path.
It seems the sooner the Jets part ways with Ryan the better off they will be.

It is not known at this time whether or not the white House will investigate the grant program used by the Department of Homeland Security to give Ballistic Engineered Armored Response Counter Attack Trucks (BearCat) to municipalities across the country. Although we do know that DHS will take part in the review to be led by White House staff, and will also include the Domestic Policy Council, the National Security Council, the Office of Management and Budget, and the departments of Defense, Justice and Treasury.
BearCats, and other military style weapons, are given out upon request to police departments across the country under the guise of helping fight terrorism. However, in some locales these anti-terrorism tools are being used to serve warrants, or shut down protests as have been seen not just in Ferguson, but also during the 2009 G-20 protests in Pittsburgh, as well as both the RNC & DNC in 2012, and to a lesser extent in 2008.
One proposal for dealing with the militarization of police, that I'm sure will fail everywhere it is attempted, is to prohibit local law enforcement from acquiring military-equipped vehicles or equipment that is not readily available in an open national commercial market.
Agreed, and very glad to see this issue has not faded away, and right here on HoT. It ought to be the biggest takeaway from the #Ferguson nonsense and you've brought up another very important aspect.
I for one also want to know where the heck all the heavy equipment like bulldozers, graders – and just big trucks – went? And why aren't we enjoying the benefits of the Iraq draw-down by having better paved streets.
Instead, we have #SpecialForcesBarneyFife terrorizing everyone off of pothole riddled up streets.
In many cases they just donate the weaponry to the local police.

The highest "common" resolution I've seen for printing a poster is 5400 x 3600 for the reasonable price of (~$15), but I have the ability to make the images I want to print (procedurally generated) as high of a resolution as possible (within limits of transferring several gb files to the store to print them). I was hoping to get a print with as high res 12K x 8K but maybe this is unnecessary for only a 36" x 24" poster print.
I also hope to print 12K x 8K resolutions for reasonable price similar to 5.4K x 3.6K, since going much higher than that seems to require spending much more money very quickly (~$100 per print or more), so I guess it's important I can get it done cheap. I do want to know what options are out there, even if they are outside my price range.
What would the highest resolution be in 24" x 36" for a canvas print and for what prices?
150 ppi is plenty of resolution if you're printing on canvas. If you expect your piece to be viewed from a few inches away (less than 16), then 300 ppi is more than sufficient. Beyond that point you're just adding to the file size without adding visible image information in the final product.
On high-grade art paper, you can go as high as 600 ppi. Beyond that point, the same considerations apply.
If you require that level of quality, you will pay for it ($75 and up is not unreasonable). If you're on a budget, stick with 150 ppi, because the quality of output you can get on the cheap will not justify the extra expense.

Q: Boost regex too complex I want to process a HTML ebook that is huge. I wrote an app in C# that does that just fine, but I would rather do that in Notepad++ with Python script. So I wrote the simplest regex and it throws:

The complexity of matching the regular expression exceeded predefined bounds.  Try refactoring the regular expression to make each choice made by the state machine unambiguous.  This exception is thrown to prevent "eternal" matches that take an indefinite period time to locate.

I'm not interested in changing my regex, and I don't care about performance. Where do I find those "predefined bounds" so I can change them, or how do I go around it, in case it's not possible?
Edit: here's the piece of code with regex:
editor.rereplace("li .+\}", "", re.S )

A: CAustin has given the right answer here already, but without explaining the reason why greedy expression li .+\} resulted in the message about exceeding predefined bounds. Well, I also don't know the exact reason as this would require analyzing the find with debugging into the replace function itself.
However, this expression matches a string starting with li and a space and ending on last closing brace either on current line or if dot matches also carriage return and line-feeds in entire string respectively file.
This is problematic if the string or like here the file on which the find is executed is very large, let's say several MB or even several GB, and the string / file does not contain any line terminating characters or the dot matches also those characters.
Such a greedy expression can easily result in allocating more and more of free memory just for the found string until there is not enough free memory anymore on the machine which would result in crashes respectively memory exceptions of nearly all running applications on this machine because no more free memory available anymore.
Users of modern PCs with several GB of RAM usually used mainly for file caching and not for the running applications always wonder why such error messages occur on running regular expression finds/replaces within a script or program as there is so much free RAM in total.
Well, 4 GB of free memory in total does not mean that a continuous block of 4 GB is available. Task managers do not show how fragmented the RAM is. And 32-bit applications cannot allocate more than 2 GB of RAM in total because of not being able to address more, except if coded especially for usage of more than 2 GB which is very rare. It can happen very easily that with 2 GB of free RAM in total, it is not possible to allocate 32 MB as a continuous block.
But the developers of the regular expression functions and libraries need to take more into account than PCs used by a single user just running a few applications at same time. Their functions and libraries are also used on embedded devices which have just a few MB of total RAM. And regular expressions are used by many scripts on webservers which have to handle hundreds or even thousands of users at the same time. Servers could be killed very easily if it would be possible by simple greedy regular expressions to allocate several MB of RAM from server - 8 MB for found string x 2000 finds = server killed.
Therefore the total number of bytes a string found by a regular expression can be is limited to just some KB. I don't know the boundary. I have tried once to find it out, but get different results for different finds. It is not a simple x KB or x MB. There are several other limitations also included like maximum number of recursion (stack overflow prevention) or perhaps also a maximum processing time (keep applications responsive). I really don't know what the developers of the regular expression functions and libraries have included to prevent kills of applications or entire machines caused by a regular expression find/replace.
Therefore lazy (non greedy) expressions by using a question mark after * or +  should be always preferred over greedy expressions.
If a greedy expression is wanted, it should be limited by the user by using {min,max} instead of * (0 or more) or + (1 or more).
Therefore some possible solutions are here:

*

*(?-s)li .+?\} ... non greedy, single line.

*(?s)\bli\b.+?\} ... non greedy, multiple lines.

*\bli [^}\r\n]\} ... non greedy, single line.

*(?s)li .{1,16384}\} ... greedy, multiple lines.

But even a non greedy expression can result in a message warning about exceeding predefined bounds if the string or file is of undetermined size and undetermined data on which the expression is applied.
Take a look on (?s)li .+?\} and think about a file which for example has 8 GB, but has somewhere at beginning li  and nowhere or somewhere at end }.
The solution is the last expression in the list which is a greedy expression, but stops parsing for closing brace after 16384 characters after having li  already found. Therefore the greedy expression (?s)li .{1,16384}\} is more secure on usage on undetermined data of undetermined size than the 3 other non greedy expressions in the list above.

(?s) at beginning of the regular expression enables matching newlines by dot, i.e. turns on multiline mode behavior. So independent on internal default, the . matches now also carriage returns and line-feeds, i.e. multiple lines can be matched.
(?-s) is the opposite. It disables multiline and enables singleline mode matching behavior for dot.
See the pages:

The support for mode changing flags within a regular expression search strings depends on the used library and the used version.

BEFORE SUNSET - #858
Confession: I didn't see Before Sunset during its theatrical run, it was a couple of years before I finally gave in and checked it out. I had dismissed the notion of a sequel to Before Sunrise [review], being in my early 30s and still full of strange and precious ideals about story, I had rejected the idea that the magic could be recaptured or that we needed to know if Jesse and Celine ever saw each other again. It wasn't until the graphic designer working on my graphic novel with Joëlle Jones, 12 Reasons Why I Love Her, gave me a DVD copy and insisted that I give it a try that I finally did. And was pleasantly surprised.
I mention this in part because how Jesse (still played by Ethan Hawke) answers the questions about the book he wrote fictionalizing the events of Before Sunrise sounds a lot like how I answer questions about my books. Specifically, the "did they or didn't they" ending being a litmus test for how romantic you are. I give the same answer about the ending of 12 Reasons Why I Love Her.
Clarification: I am re-watching each movie of the Before Trilogy and writing about it afterwards. Thus, when I wrote my Before Sunrise review, I had not yet watched Before Sunset, and so when I wrote that each moment of that movie was every moment of the series, I had no idea that Jesse says the same thing, also in the scene discussing his book, in this entry. What can I say, we share a wavelength.
And the Affair to Remember [review] comparison? Fitting that the reunion of Jesse and Celine echoes the "did you or didn't you" of the final scenes of the Leo McCarey film, though with a much lighter touch...before moving on. In Affair it was the end; in Sunset, the start.
Before Sunset is the very definition of a middle part of a trilogy. It's a bit darker, a bit more serious. It feels incomplete, acting as the connection between the kick-off and the finale. And like most second parts, many fans are going to argue that it's the best. For all the reasons cited.
Richard Linklater gets this. He's not setting out to make a crowd-pleasing affirmation of Before Sunrise's goopier potentialities. Before Sunset has a level of sincerity about what it means to be in one's 30s that underlines how sincere its predecessor was about capturing the airiness of being in your early 20s. They've had a whole life to live, to fail, to lose or hang onto their romantic notions. Amusingly, Jesse is more hopeful now, and Celine (Julie Delpy) is a politically driven realist. Where their paths diverged somehow caused him to increase his belief, and for her to tamp her romance down. Then again, he is also in an unhappy marriage, so maybe by being so grounded he can appreciate feelings that are less so. I mean, there is a definite irony to her being jaded by romance, when he suffered the true disappointment; yet, her failure to carry through has arrested her emotional development. She is not sure she can ever again feel the way she did during their Viennese dalliance.
Though, even as she points out, Jesse has arrested himself. He has chosen to stay in that moment, regardless of how much his life charges on. The impetus for their reunion in Before Sunset is that he has written a novel about their one night together, and the book tour has brought him to Paris. This adds a fun metatextual layer to the movie. They are fictional characters that, at least for a brief period of the movie, are grappling with fictional versions of themselves. More importantly, though, it brings up the question of perception: his version of events vs. hers.
Or, perhaps more precisely, it questions the quality of a particular witness or narrator: how does their retelling of Before Sunrise change based on what they prefer to hide or celebrate. Of course, those alterations are based on what they feel and what they wish to suppress or keep secret--a tactic that spills over into how they represent their current life. Both begin with a desire to present their best face, forgetting that they are with the only person who is really capable of unmasking their pretenses. And they only have a couple of hours to get the job done. He has to leave for the airport at 7:30.
Fitting into the collegiate preoccupations both Jesse and Celine had in Before Sunrise, Before Sunset uses their ill-fated first reunion as a way to ponder questions of faith, the "what if" scenarios suggesting a different path for the wannabe lovers. Sure, they would have been different if they had seen it through, but not necessarily for the better. Is it possible that they needed to shed their youthful ideology in order to really be together? Would they have lasted if they had run with that first blush of emotion and not gathered the life experience that would give them the tools and tenacity to commit? Probably not. And thus, it is befitting that Before Sunset fails to end with a grand declaration, fading out instead on a quiet recommitment to love.
In terms of style and approach, not much has changed here, though it's clear that budget and nearly a decade of work under their belts has improved all skills. The camerawork is cleaner, the look of the film more polished--but that could be an uptick in technology giving all indie filmmakers a leg up. Lee Daniel shot both movies, as he has many Linklater efforts, including Dazed and Confused [review 1, 2] and Boyhood [review], so I imagine the two had quite a rapport by this outing. Daniel also has a lot of documentary credits on his resume, which suggests certain skills he certainly could apply here.
Luckily, this progression helps rather than hurts. If the first film has the scruffiness of youth, this has the sheen of success, the characters showing off at a time when they can and when making sure everyone knows you've accomplished something matters. It can't be the same every time...and as we'll see, it won't be.

Some foods, cherished for generations, loom large in the lives of North Carolinians. Author Georgann Eubanks set out on a cross-state journey to research and document 12 of them. "I was particularly interested in foods that have a strong history in NC and that come ripe only for a very limited time each year, forcing us to wait for their special tastes and textures," she says.
Although her selections represent the entire state, there are foods—such as ramps, apples and goat's milk—that she associates with our neck of the woods. "I love WNC and did much of the writing holed up in my little 900-squarefoot cabin on a windy ridge in Mitchell County in sight of the Black Mountain Range," Eubanks says. She spoke to native people in Cherokee to learn about ramps, to Bill Carson at the Orchard at Altapass for a lesson on heirloom apples and to the granddaughter of Carl Sandburg about the poet's family farm.
Young and old will find appeal in the foods Eubanks features. "We all have powerful memories associated with foods and the smells and tastes of our family's familiar dishes," she says.

Q: How do I check if a Perl scalar variable has been initialized? Is the following the best way to check if a scalar variable is initialized in Perl, using defined?
my $var;

if (cond) {
    $var = "string1";
}

# Is this the correct way?
if (defined $var) {
    ...
}

A: If you don't care whether or not it's empty, it is. Otherwise you can check
if ( length( $str || '' )) {}

A: Perl doesn't offer a way to check whether or not a variable has been initialized.
However, scalar variables that haven't been explicitly initialized with some value happen to have the value of undef by default. You are right about defined being the right way to check whether or not a variable has a value of undef.
There's several other ways tho. If you want to assign to the variable if it's undef, which your example code seems to indicate, you could, for example, use perl's defined-or operator:
$var //= 'a default value';

A: It depends on what you plan on doing with the variable whether or not it is defined; as of Perl 5.10, you can do this (from perl51000delta):

A new operator // (defined-or) has been implemented. The following expression:
 $a // $b

is merely equivalent to
defined $a ? $a : $b

and the statement
$c //= $d;

can now be used instead of
$c = $d unless defined $c;

A: It depends on what you're trying to do.  The proper C way to do things is to initialize variables when they are declared; however, Perl is not C, so one of the following may be what you want:
  1)   $var = "foo" unless defined $var;      # set default after the fact
  2)   $var = defined $var? $var : {...};     # ternary operation
  3)   {...} if !(defined $var);              # another way to write 1)
  4)   $var = $var || "foo";                  # set to $var unless it's falsy, in which case set to 'foo'
  5)   $var ||= "foo";                        # retain value of $var unless it's falsy, in which case set to 'foo' (same as previous line)
  6)   $var = $var // "foo";                  # set to $var unless it's undefined, in which case set to 'foo'
  7)   $var //= "foo";                        # 5.10+ ; retain value of $var unless it's undefined, in which case set to 'foo' (same as previous line)

C way of doing things (not recommended):
# initialize the variable to a default value during declaration
#   then test against that value when you want to see if it's been changed
my $var = "foo";
{...}
if ($var eq "foo"){
   ... # do something
} else {
   ... # do something else
}

Another long-winded way of doing this is to create a class and a flag when the variable's been changed, which is unnecessary.

A: 'defined' will return true if a variable has a real value.
As an aside, in a hash, this can be true:
if(exists $h{$e} && !defined $h{$e})


Mr. X needed a camera, actually a digital camera, so he logged on to an e-commerce portal, browsed the range of cameras for a minute, and placed order for one which he thought, is good for him. Within next 3 days, the courier boy appeared at Mr. X's office and delivered the camera (of course, he first took the cash). Mr. X was more than happy and showed his latest purchase to all his colleagues. But, very soon, he got his first heart-attack when one of his colleagues told him that he had also bought a camera and that's much better to the one, Mr. X has just bought, not just in terms of features but also price wise. When Mr. X searched the net for that camera, he got the second heart attack; the camera (that his colleague had bought) was looking such beautiful and had more features that the one he had just purchased. Make sure you are not the next Mr. X. Are you planning for a professional camera? Make sure you follow the below 5 easy tips so that you end-up buying a digital camera in India that truly meets your needs.
Friends and family can be a great resource for learning about which digital cameras work well and which don't. Of course, you should check out Internet as well, but face-to-face opinions from people you trust and know are much better.
2. So, how will you use the camera?
If you are a nature lover, and want to shoot a lot of nature's photos, you better opt for a camera with large zoom lens. If it's your friends and family at parties who'll be in most of your photos, you should look for a camera that performs well in low-light conditions. Sit for a few minutes and find out how you are going to use the camera, and then, look for the digital camera in India that fits your specific needs the best way.
Some people may prefer larger digital cameras that are easy to hold, while others may want to settle for a small, thin model that fits easily in a pocket or purse. So, take your time and then, grab the size that fits your hands the best.
It's good to have a rough figure in the back of your mind; set a budget before you go out and make a buy.
Photography includes a lot of jargons; if not all, you should familiarize yourself with at least a few ones. Read through a digital camera glossary for half an hour and it's more than enough.

From the Ground Up: Piore Award Highlights Rashid's Foundational Career
Editor's Note — June 10, 2008 —
references to the IEEE Emanuel R. Piore awardees and Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers (IEEE) Emanuel R. Piore Foundation award fund were updated post-publication.
Rick Rashid, Senior Vice President, Research
ANAHEIM, Calif. – June 10, 2008 – This week Rick Rashid, founder and senior vice president of Microsoft Research, joins the ranks of IEEE Emanuel R. Piore awardees, having received the honor at the 45th Design Automation Conference in Anaheim.
Sponsored by the the Institute of Electronics and Electrical Engineers (IEEE) Emanuel R. Piore Foundation award fund, the Piore Award is designed to recognize leadership and accomplishments in the field of technology. Since 1977, the award has been given periodically to industry figures who have made a lasting impact with their work.
Rashid's specific citation is for his work in the design of modern operating systems, as well as "innovation leadership in industrial research." According to Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates, however, the award speaks not so much to what Rashid has accomplished, but to what's possible with a career in computer science.
"I have always admired Rick's dedication to the idea that pushing the boundaries of computer science will lead to advances that change people's lives for the better," says Gates. "When we hired Rick to launch Microsoft Research 17 years ago, I had high hopes for what he would achieve. Since then, his contributions to Microsoft, to the field of computer science, and to society in general have always exceeded my expectations. This well-deserved award is a fantastic acknowledgement of the important impact of his great work."
In accepting the accolade, Rashid also nods to the influence each individual can have in the course of their career, as well as the potential to make a difference with technology.
"We lose track of the fact that individuals can make a huge impact in any field," he says. "Awards that recognize individuals are a way of showing how a single person can help change an industry with their work, with their energy, and with their intellect."
A Founding Influence
Rashid has invented technologies and published papers in fields ranging from networking, programming languages, distributed systems and operating systems, to computer vision, databases and cryptography.
But getting in at the ground floor and building a team has also been a hallmark of Rashid's career since graduate school, when he took an unusual risk, eschewing a grad program in math at Berkeley to help found a new computer science department across the country at the University of Rochester.
"One of the professors, Jerry Feldman, was going to Rochester to start the department," Rashid says. "He contacted me and told me they would have access to Xerox Alto and would be the only place in academia to have that."
Indeed, Feldman's group was the first outside of Xerox with access to the original Xerox Alto and the then-experimental Ethernet. According to Feldman, Xerox executives in Palo Alto wanted to get some of their machines running in proximity to the company's headquarters in Rochester as a way to convince senior executives of the new computer's viability. Feldman was able to use the commitment from Xerox to help recruit a new department of faculty and grad students to Rochester.
"I contacted Rick about this idea of starting a grad school at this new place that didn't exist," says Feldman, now a professor of cognitive science at the University of California, Berkeley. "There's a special type of personality that would view this as a good thing. So Rick was not only one of the first graduate students at Rochester, but was a key part of the team that brought in these revolutionary computers and got software on them."
Part of the team's success at Rochester, according to Rashid, was Feldman's philosophy of giving students free reign to explore and do the kinds of research they were interested in.
"I had an opportunity there to do anything," says Rashid. "Nothing was standing in our way. We built hardware, we built operating systems, we worked on early computers, and it gave me a leg up in terms of being able to do things that a lot of people didn't have an opportunity to do."
During that time Rashid also developed one of the first computer games, Alto Trek, which became a standard-setter for games development using an Ethernet like network.
"We developed as part of that some new techniques for effectively doing multicast on the old three megabit Ethernet, and those ideas led in part to the multicast standards for the 10 megabit Ethernet which has then been preserved in later versions," he says.
Rashid's PhD thesis at Rochester was also a milestone of sorts, a very early work on the computational interpretation of moving images called "moving light displays," which has been referenced and built upon by researchers in both computer science and human cognition.
"To be honest my work in computer vision was mostly what I did for fun when I wasn't working on operating systems," says Rashid.
Making Mach
After his time at Rochester, Rashid became a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, spending a decade at the school researching operating systems. In a familiar theme of his career, Rashid would start the University's work in networking and distributed systems.
"When I first arrived there they were just installing their Ethernet, and they were just getting their first Xerox Altos," he says. "So again I was in there on the ground floor. I got to train my own grad students and staff, and really build things from the ground up. So many times I've been given an opportunity to do things that in some sense were like a dream come true. These things drop in your lap, and hopefully you're able to run with them."
Rashid led a team at Carnegie Mellon University in the late 1970s and early 1980s that developed "Mach" — An operating system "microkernel" that could be used in both distributed computing environments and large-scale multiprocessors.
Mach proved to be an unusually long-lived technology. Today it is a grandparent of many commercial operating systems currently in use, including many versions of UNIX, the Mac OS and even Windows, and is still the standard by which such technologies are measured.
"Part of the culture at Carnegie Mellon was to be users for each others' systems," says Jeannette Wing, a CMU computer science professor who is currently serving as the assistant director for the Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate at the National Science Foundation. "We all used Mach and helped Rick's team debug their experimental but robust operating system. Soon another team was building a distributed transaction facility called Camelot on top of Mach, and a colleague and I were building programming-language support called Avalon on top of Camelot. It was a perfect layering of research projects."
During this period, Rashid not only made significant contributions to modern operating systems, but also developed a leadership and mentorship style that has served him in his years as head of Microsoft Research.
"Rick always took his entire research group to see the latest Star Trek movie, as soon as it came out," says Wing. "He was generous with his attention to his group, and I'm sure it inspired them to work well as a team. It is this spirit of looking out for people that Rick carried to Microsoft, because I see it ingrained in the culture of Microsoft Research."
Building Microsoft Research
In 1991, with nearly 20 years of groundbreaking research and two graduate academic startups to his credit, Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates and Nathan Myhrvold recruited Rashid to found Microsoft Research. Nearly 17 years later, Rashid is still the head of the organization he founded.
Asked why his group has thrived for nearly two decades while other corporate research organizations come and go, Rashid cites both the tight integration between Microsoft Research and the company's broader product development mission, as well as a consistent philosophy of openness and exploration he learned from Feldman back at Rochester.
"I think we really created a new kind of research lab in industry, one that is a blend of computer science programs at universities and the industrial research lab setting," Rashid says. "Our most important mission is moving the state-of-the-art forward in computer science, and over the years the research organization here has been incredibly well supported in that mission by the product organizations, and by Bill and Steve and the other executives. Plus, the output of research are exactly the inputs you'd imagine for Microsoft product teams, so it's just a perfect match."
On the other side is the well-known openness of Microsoft Research, in letting the scientists it hires pursue the technologies that interest them most.
"We don't attempt to change or steer our researchers in any particular direction," he says. "We try to hire the best people, give them an opportunity to be successful, in an environment where they can be successful. The most important control I have in the organization is who we hire. It's the quality of the people that make this work."
Rashid also says the consistency of having the same philosophy in hiring, promotion and the research agenda has been a key part of the group's success.
"In a research environment you want people to take risks and look far out to the future, and those people need to know that the rules aren't going to change underneath them," he says. "They need to know that there's going to be consistency, and I think we've been able to provide that."
In the early days of Microsoft Research, Rashid says, perhaps the biggest risk his hires were taking was the decision to come to Microsoft in the first place.
"Software companies in those days weren't seen by people in the academic community as stable places where people could get their work done," he says. "Our researchers were pretty much taking it on faith that it would all work out. They were making a bet on the future."
For many of those who did come, the bet has paid off. Some of the hires Rashid made in the early to mid 1990s are still at Microsoft research, having made many contributions to technology in their own rights. Names like David Heckerman, Eric Horvitz and Jim Gray became well known in the tech industry largely through contributions made during their time at Microsoft.
"Heckerman and Horvitz really founded the work we've done over the years in Bayesian reasoning, inference and machine intelligence and learning," Rashid says. "Jim Gray helped to set a standard for what the lab was, and what it's capable of. We enticed them into Microsoft as a place where they could really take their ideas and carry them much further and carry them to a broader community, and they have."
Ling Brings Rashid Full Circle
Another key hire was Dan Ling, whom Rashid knew from his undergraduate days at Stanford. Ling went on to become a corporate vice president at Microsoft and head of the group's Redmond lab before moving into semi-retirement a year ago.
"Rick recruited me shortly after he arrived at Microsoft," says Ling. "When I finally visited I was incredibly impressed by the vision for Microsoft Research as well as Rick and Nathan's passion for the lab. I believe that passion and vision have really made Microsoft Research the success that it is today."
Interestingly enough, it was Ling who'd originally "recruited" Rashid to take his first computer science course at Stanford. Rashid took that first course, and then another architecture course working on an early mini computer called the HP 2116. At that point, he was hooked.
"This was programming the front panel switches, paper tape, teletype and that kind of thing, and I just had such a blast," says Rashid. "The fact that my intellect could animate this piece of hardware, this physical device, just made me so excited. It was a rush when I got my first programs running on that machine. And that really hooked me, and then I went on to take every computer science course that I could at Stanford."
It was that sense of excitement and creativity that helped Rashid take his own career risk and move across the country to help found the department at Rochester, even though careers in computer science were not mainstream at the time.
"In the early 1970s, no one knew — computer science and underwater basket weaving were probably the same general area of profession," he says. "But if I look back on my career, I just feel like I've had so many opportunities in computer science. I have been privileged to do really cool things."
In the end, according to Ling and others, from helping his professor found one of the country's first computer science graduate schools, to helping create one of the world's first operating systems, to creating an environment at Microsoft where other researchers could pursue their own accomplishments, Rashid's career shows that computer science is about more than technology itself – it's also the ability to make a difference in people's lives.
"At Carnegie Mellon during his work on Mach, he mentored students who have gone on to very significant positions in industry and academia," says Ling. "At a time when many thought that the best days of industry research were past, he built and led a new premier research institution in the private sector. He has worked to attract students into computer science and improve the diversity of the discipline. His message has often also focused on the tremendous opportunities to contribute to the other sciences and important social problems via technology. This human element is a big reason Rick deserves the Piore Award."

Well-traveled QB McCown announces retirement
June 17, 2019 at 7:17 pm.

Josh McCown, whose 17-year NFL career spanned 10 teams, announced his retirement Monday.
His longest tenure with any franchise was four seasons, that being with the Arizona Cardinals, who drafted McCown in the third round of the 2002 draft.
He started 22 games for the Cardinals, the most he had in any of his NFL stops.
"But looking back, I'm proud of how my career has gone," he wrote at The Players' Tribune website. "I don't shy away from the journeyman label. I embrace it, full force.
"Because it's been one heck of a journey."
McCown played in 99 games (76 starts) across 16 seasons, completing 1,581 of 2,628 passes for 17,707 yards, with 98 touchdowns and 82 interceptions.
McCown, who turns 40 on July 4, spent the past two seasons with the New York Jets, serving as the starter in 2017. He appeared in four games (three starts) last season, serving as a backup to rookie Sam Darnold.
McCown's career also took him to the Detroit Lions, Oakland Raiders, Miami Dolphins, Carolina Panthers, San Francisco 49ers, Chicago Bears, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cleveland Browns.
"At the end of the day, no matter what team I was on, I tried to serve it to the best of my ability, and I tried to influence my team in a positive manner. I hope I did that," McCown wrote.
"And I made sure that when my number was called, I was prepared, and I gave it everything I had, every time. I may not have turned out to be the franchise quarterback I set out to be back at Cardinals rookie camp, but I'm extremely proud of the career I had."
McCown has done analyst work for ESPN and wrote that he plans to do more of that, as well as coach his two sons, who are high school quarterbacks.
