I’ve had the priviledge of meeting the highly-regarded photojournalist, Jim Nacthwey. He was honored by TED with the TED Prize and received “one wish to change the world”:

“I’m working on a story that the world needs to know about. I wish for you to help me break it, in a way that provides spectacular proof of the power of news photography in the digital age.”

“For if this Nation is to remain true to the ideals symbolized by its flag, it must not wield the tools of tyrants even to resist an assault by the forces of tyranny.”

– Justice John Paul Stevens, US Supreme Court

My dear friend Carmen Deedy was invited to speak at TED sometime back – here is her story…

Ordinarily we would have had a council meeting tonight – but as a number of folks are out of town, this meeting was cancelled.

The next scheduled meeting is the Council Retreat in late September.
