Jeff Bercovici, Forbes Staff
I cover technology with an emphasis on social and digital media.
When a news photographer witnesses a tragedy in the making, is his obligation to intervene or to document it?
That question has cropped up anew following the New York Post's publication, on its front page, of a photo taken moments after a man was pushed onto subway tracks, and moments before he was hit and killed by an oncoming train.
The photographer, R. Umar Abbasi, claims he got the shot only incidentally, as he was firing off his camera in hopes the flash would attract the attention of the train driver. It's the sort of explanation that raises more questions than it answers, among them: Was there something more effective he could've done to help? And if there was, was he under obligation to do it?
I put those questions to John Long of the National Press Photographers Association. Long has been a photographer for 35 years, most of them at the Hartford Courant, and has been chairman of the NPPA's ethics committee for more than 15.
He was unwilling to offer an opinion on Abbasi's actions, not knowing enough of the particulars. "I cannot judge the man," he says. "I don't know how far away he was. I don't know if he could've done anything." (The paper has said he would not have been able to pull the man to safety.)
But on the question of what his duty was in the situation, he's unequivocal. "If you have placed yourself in a situation where you can help, you are morally obligated," he says. "The proper thing to do would've been to put down the camera and try to get the guy out. I can understand why people are upset."
"Your job as a human being, so to speak, outweighs your job as a photojournalist," he adds.
This may sound like an uncontroversial position, but within the world of professional photojournalism, it's far from a settled question. Long says that he has "had some knockdown battles" over the years with those who think journalistic objectivity requires not getting involved. Long doesn't buy that. "I don't think it's possible to be totally objective," he says. "Your presence at an event changes the event, at least somewhat.
While that point of view isn't evident in NPPA's code of ethics, which warn photographers not to "seek to alter or influence events," Long says his view predominates within the organization. He points to examples like Nick Ut, the Vietnam War photographer who recorded the famous photo of a girl running from a napalm attack, then took her to the hospital afterward, as well as to counterexamples like Kevin Carter, who won the Pulitzer Prize for a controversial image of a starving Sudanese child and later committed suicide, an act some attributed to guilt over what he had witnessed.
"You live your life with the values you got somewhere along the line," he says. "I do not approach photojournalism as the be all and end all. It's an honorable profession, but the values I bring to my job come from other sources."
The question of whether the New York Post was right to publish Abbasi's photo is, says Long, "another issue altogether." Newspapers have an obligation to publish images, even horrifying ones, that might affect public debate over important issues. He cites photos of killed U.S. soldiers or drowned bodies in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. "Those pictures ran because we as a society could learn from them and make decisions for society," he says.
A photo of a man about to be hit by a subway wouldn't seem to rise to that level, he says. "If I was the night editor, I don't think I'd run it." However, he adds, "it's a contract between a paper and its readers, and it's different from paper to paper. The New York Post is not known for its subtlety in taste decisions."
The editor and photographer are as sick as the killer.
Jeff good article,
have you ever watched Seinfeld? The second to last episode with the "Good Samaritan law" I feel would apply to this type of situation, thoughts?
His main duty as a photojournalist was to report photographically a newsworthy scene. As a human, however, his natural and more basic duty was to try to rescue a fellow human from certain death, provided that he was close enough or had a real chance of preventing the man's death. Moving forward, and since this is an ongoing health hazard that claims the lives of passengers every year or so, perhaps the surreal photograph can spread enough awareness to help save the lives of others in the future.
As a former photographer I feel deeply ashamed for the New York post photographer. Professional ethics should never be over the ethics of human being
As a former news photographer, I will say that the issue here isn't whether or not the photograph was taken. It also isn't whether or not the photographer was morally obligated to help this poor man – because in that moment, none of us here have any idea whatsoever (aside from speculation or quotes from other bystanders, who also did nothing to help..) what the ALL the specifics of the scene were.
Was the homeless man who pushed the other man onto the tracks also menacing others in his rage? Would anyone that attempted to help the pushed man have gotten pushed over as well? Did others in the crowd offer to subdue the crazed homeless man, so help could be offered safely?
To me this seems like a situation that in no way could have been handled safely by any one person (my speculation). It's so very easy to say we would have played the hero if we had been there, but in reality, it's never that simple and by the time you realize what's going on… it's over. Scenes like this almost always start and end in a matter of seconds.
The Post on the other hand, continues to show its true colors and lack of journalistic integrity by sensationalizing this photo with zero sensitivity whatsoever. They are pure garbage, or at least whoever approved this cover is.
It is soo tacky what the New York Post did in publishing the photograph of a man about to die by train accident. As a freelance journalist I'm also torn in two for either making a living or saving the poor man. But he reacted to his impulse in taking the photo. Hope he sleeps well at night.
In my opinion Mr. Abbasi is FULL OF IT! IF Mr. Abbasi's intent WAS to try to get the attention of the Motorman of the subway then WHY sell the picture? In all actuality he probably did more HARM than GOOD! By firing his flash he distracted the motorman and in doing so REDUCED the chances of the motorman possibly "dumping" the train. As new freelance photographers my girlfriend Dez and I are both a little "torn" with this. We have both shot auto accidents, and other "tragedies", but in a situation like this especially being I am a disabled firefighter/EMT I think I would have put down my camera (or held it) and waved my arms over my head to try and better "alert" the motorman. I think Mr. Abbasi figured he'd make an attempt at "helping" but at the same time get the "money shot". I'm sure Mr. Abbasi got paid quite well by the Post, and IF Mr. Abbasi was REALLY "just trying to help" he will give the money to the widow and family of the victim.
In Yer Face Studioz
very classy mr abasi and the post…..scumbags!
To hell with ethical journalism what about ethical behavior. Why stand there taking pictures, grab the man and get him the hell out of there!!! This "Journalist" is complicit in the murder.
This happened to me on the Orange Line in Boston about 12 years ago; it's always a moral dilemma, because trying to rescue someone from the tracks may well cause your own death. With about 20 other people, I was waiting on the platform at the State Street Station during the evening rush; a drunken man wandered out to the edge of the station, looked down the track, then fell off the platform. He lay there screaming "My leg! My leg!" Approaching the edge of the platform, I could see the headlights of the incoming train where it was stopped at the preceding station. I reached down and grabbed the drunk's arm. He was too heavy for me to pull him up alone. Someone else helped me — the man whose wife owned La Pupusa Guanaca in Jamaica Plain. Together we managed to pull the drunk up. Less than ten seconds later the train whooshed in. A policeman showed up to take the drunk into custody. The point is, just one person acting alone probably can't pull another man up off the track. There is a risk of being pulled down yourself. And although I believe that the photograph certainly deserved — and deserves — and ought to be published, I also believe it is fair to say: Shame on everyone who didn't try to help the poor fellow. How many people fall off the platform and are killed by trains in the New York Subway system very year? If this man was pushed, where is the photo of the person who pushed him?

Appearance: a light amber color, almost orange. fairly hazy but not opaque. two fingers of a tannish head that leaves a lacing around the edges.
Smell: huge smell as soon as the cap cracks. dried fruit. figs and dates. sweet caramel malts. lots of malty sweetness. maybe a touch creamy. hint of alcohol. just a bit too strong with the alcohol
Taste: opens up with a brief hint of bready malts. quickly switches to dried fruits. definite pruney/date taste. caramel and toffee malt sweetness and some nuttiness. very subtle herbal hop just for balance and a kick of alcohol.
Mouthfeel: alcohol warmth, heavy body, sticky. just a touch chewy.
Overall: amazing flavors. and unbelievable drinkability for 15%. very different from the other barleywines today but very true to the style. wonderfully brewed beer and easily a top barleywine.

Reviewing from notes after drinking on 4/19/14. Enjoyed out of a 12 oz brown bottle with a bottling date of 10/9/13, so this one is sitting right about at six months of age. Poured into a large 22 oz snifter glass.
Appearance - Pours a rich carmine red with vermilion highlights and darker notes of brick where the one finger of khaki foam shades the body from the light source with small, tight bubbles save for a few smatterings of larger bubbles resulting from the froth of the pour. Retention is moderate to slight, with the head slinking away to leave a film of head and a thick ringlet around the edge of the glass. No lacing to speak of.
Smell - Woo, the time this one has sat certainly hasn't done much to the booziness, unless this beer started out as a ethanol bomb. Admittedly, the sweetness from the malt and figs is seemingly working to draw out more of the characteristics of the alcohol. With some time and warmth, the aroma calms down a bit to reveal notes of caramel and molasses as well as candied fig and medium fruits. There are also some hints at hoppy bitterness, but really the malt dominates the smell.
Taste - Similar to the aroma, the ABV is not hidden in the slightest--you taste every bit of the 15%, but oddly it works well with the sweetness from the malt and figs. There is some definite heat to the taste--and no I don't mean spicy heat. The finish has notes of bitterness where I didn't get it before. That's the first sign of the hoppiness that one might expect from a beer that styles itself "American" barleywine. Really, the booze far too overt in this beer for it to be one that I really latch onto.
Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with a certain thickness to it, almost viscous, along with low carbonation and a burn in the chest after you swallow, like you might expect from a distilled liquor.
Overall, a good enough beer, but one that clearly needs some age to be enjoyable. I'd heard this one was hot if you drink it fresh, and based on my experience at six months, I'd have a hard time disagreeing. I wish I had another bottle to sit on a bit longer and see how it was drinking after a year, but for the time being, it's a decent beer. I'd also change the classification, only because the figs add a sweetness that reminded me more of the English style than the super hoppy, bitter American style.

The LCT3 production of Disgraced, a new play by Ayad Akhtar which opened to strong reviews Oct. 22, was recently extended through Dec. 2 at the Claire Tow Theater. Aasif Mandvi and Heidi Armbruster co-star in the tense, 90-minute drama where a dinner party is derailed over politics and religion.

NORMAN — The intense fiscal cliff negotiations and upcoming economic uncertainties didn't have much impact on the nation's hiring this past month. December hiring even seemed a bit more aggressive at year's end.
Businesses were apparently counting on a Congressional resolution and did their hiring anyway. The Associated Press reports a payroll provider estimates businesses added 215,000 jobs in December, the most in 10 months. On Friday, the government pared that down some, saying about 155,000 jobs were filled.
Earlier, in November, nearly 161,000 jobs were added. Both hiring figures weren't enough to move the needle on the nation's 7.8 percent unemployment rate.
The number of announced job cuts was down, too. It was down 43 percent in December from November and overall planned layoffs in 2012 hit the lowest level since 1997, according to an Associated Press news source.
Hiring has been steady but modest as the economy has grown slowly since the recession ended more than three years ago, according to the Associated Press. For 2012, employers added 1.84 million jobs, an average of 153,000 jobs a month, roughly matching the job totals for 2011.
Construction, probably lead by repair work from super storm Sandy and new construction, paced the hiring. Manufacturers added thousands of jobs.

Canes general manager Jim Rutherford said Tuesday that contract talks have begun for newly acquired forward Jordan Staal, who was dealt to Carolina on Friday by the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Staal, the brother of Canes captain Eric Staal, is represented by Paul Krepelka of the Orr Hockey Group.
"We had our initial conversation last night," Rutherford said. "Basically it was, 'We made the trade, we know everybody is happy, now we need to start talking long-term.' That being agreed on, now the work begins."
Jordan Staal has one year remaining on a contract he had with the Pens that will pay him a $4.5 million salary next season. He's due to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2012-2013 season.
Staal last week turned down a 10-year contract extension offered by the Pens that would have paid him a reported $60 million. Rutherford did not say what contract parameters – length and salary – the Canes or Staal might be interested in negotiating.
Krepelka said his policy was not to discuss contract negotiations, saying via email, "Jordan is excited about the opportunity that lies ahead of him in Carolina."
Eric Staal, the Canes' highest-paid player, has four years remaining on a contract that has an $8.25 million cap hit per season.

I would love to have EQ 6 but it takes up so much memory on a computer you would almost have to have one dedicated just to that.
- December 18, 2009 at 1:01 PM
- Stitched With Prayer said...
Enjoy that new laptop!!! EQ6 looks so exciting I wish I could invest in it. Maybe when I replace my old computer I'll be able to try some the great quilting software out. For now I'll just drool over all of it. Thanks so much though for the generous offer.
- December 18, 2009 at 4:10 PM
- SewCalGal said...
Note to Patty...I actually have an older computer and have found EQ6 to run very well. I recommend you simply follow EQ's specs for recommended min pc hardware requirements, which is pretty much compatible with most XP/Vista PCs...and more (but check their list to verify). If you meet their specs and still have a problem with memory you may have other issues that are not EQ related. But I've found EQ's support to be very helpful, so I hope if you are having a memory problem you also check with them for their advice.
Plus, buying extra mem for PCs is pretty darn cheap now adays. Definitely worth the investment to enjoy the fun of EQ!

Hi!!! I am interested in EQ6 and I live in Spain, Can you send it to me?

GIRARD, Kan. —
The Girard Trojans did not veer away from the script Tuesday night that led to their CNC League and district titles in the regular season.
They won the fight at the line of scrimmage, took care of the ball and went in for the finish when their opponent wavered in the second half.
It all added up to a 34-7 win over the Columbus Titans in the opening round of the Kansas Class 4A state playoffs at Frank Jameson Field
It was the first playoff win for Girard since 2006, when the Trojans lost in the state semifinals to Paola.
"This was huge for us," Girard senior offensive and defensive lineman Jalen Merrell said. "We've been working for the playoffs all season and this just brings us closer together as a brotherhood."
Girard (9-1) faces Chanute in the second round on Saturday. Columbus finishes the season at 4-6.
Girard recovered a Titan fumble at its 4-yard line early in the second quarter and then stopped the Titans on second-and-goal from the 1 on the final play of the half to take a 20-7 lead into the locker room.
"That first half, we're up a point if it's not for five yards. That's what it boils down to," Columbus coach Dan Grundy said. "Our kids played hard. We're really, really young in the skill positions and we learned some things."
The teams then traded six straight scoreless possessions to open the second half before Girard began to take over.
After six straight rushes — five from junior Caleb Egbert — quarterback Brayden Johnson executed a perfect play-action and hit a wide open Trenton Stolte for a 60-yard touchdown with 31 seconds left in the third quarter.
Johnson and Stolte also hooked up for a first-half touchdown, a 24-yard strike that broke a 7-7 tie.
"We felt like we had them starting to creep up, especially on that second one," Girard head coach Leon Miller said. "They were really loading the box and we were able to sneak one on them."
Girard forced a punt and then went back to the running game and Egbert.
Egbert rushed six times in the eight-play drive, including the 4-yard touchdown run that gave the Trojans their 34-7 lead.
Egbert finished with 75 yards on 15 carries, second only to Johnson's 79 yards. The Trojans had 263 yards on 54 rushes.
"When we came out in the second half and dominated the line, it kind of gave us that edge," Merrell said. "They got down and we just put the foot down, kept driving on them and finished."
Johnson had a solid night. He completed three of his five passes for 102 yards — all to Stolte — while unleashing a 77-yard circus touchdown run on an option read that saw him walk the sideline like a tight rope and put a highlight reel-worthy juke on a Titan defender near the 10-yard line.
"I saw the lane to the left and cut back and it was kind of a foot race," he said. "I didn't think I was going to make it but I ended up cutting back. He was catching me and I just cut back.
"And I don't know how I stayed inbounds."
Columbus was solid on the ground, rushing for 225 yards on 35 carries, an average of 6.4 yards per run. Taylor Watkins rushed for 69 yards on four carries, including a 66-yard touchdown run that tied the game at 7. Sophomore quarterback Nate Bole had 59 yards on the ground.
But three first-half turnovers were too much to overcome.
The Titans fumbled on their first play from scrimmage after forcing Girard into a three-and-out to open the game, fumbled at the Girard 4 and threw an interception.
"We didn't get those points in the first half and I think our kids started getting overwhelmed, feeling the pressure to score," Grundy said. "Mentally, I think we kind of started fading out and that hurt."

Sept. 21, 2012
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- It's like two prize fighters stepping to the middle of the ring. Two heavyweights prepared to engage in a battle based on strategy, strength, preparation and pure guts.
Both with a lot to prove. And even more to gain.
It's No. 4/4 Florida State and No. 9/10 Clemson and the bell is about to ding in this Atlantic Coast Conference bout broadcasted live at 8 p.m. on ABC for the nation to see. To the winner goes a place in the driver's seat in the league's Atlantic Division; to the loser goes the inability to control its own destiny in the trek to the annual conference title game in Charlotte, N.C.
'[I'm] very anxious to watch our guys, how we respond to this as far as going through all the media and being able to eliminate the clutter of the things," said FSU coach Jimbo Fisher, whose program will host ESPN College GameDay for the second year in a row, "and keep focused on the ballgame but still be able to deal with the extracurricular things that are part of this, and it's a very important game for us at Florida State, a very important game for Clemson, a very important game in general."
Clemson (3-0) marks first true test for FSU (3-0, 1-0 ACC) this season a week after Wake Forest was supposed to serve in that same role. But in a 52-0 drubbing of the Demon Deacons, the Seminoles looked no different than they did against overmatched FCS schools Murray State and Savannah in the weeks prior: dominant defensively and high-powered offensively.
The Tigers are a different story.
Clemson comes to Tallahassee as defending conference champions and winners of six of the last nine in the series. They boast All-American candidates at quarterback, wide receiver and running back and know how to utilize them.
With widely respected offensive coordinator Chad Morris calling the shots, the Tigers' offense is averaging 517 yards per game behind quarterback in Tajh Boyd, who is completing more than 73 percent of his passes this year and has tossed six touchdown passes.
DeAndre Hopkins has been Boyd's favorite target in wins over Auburn, Ball State and Furman and the talented wide receiver is currently sixth in the nation with an average of 8.67 catches per game. Hopkins' chances may take a slight dip now that All-American Sammy Watkins is back following a two-game suspension. The ACC's rookie of the year a season ago torched the 'Noles with two touchdowns and 141 yards receiving in Clemson's 35-30 win in Death Valley and he poses a serious threat for young FSU defensive backs like Nick Waisome and Tyler Hunter.
If that isn't enough, Clemson also boasts a speedster at tailback in Andre Ellington as he is averaging 109 yards rushing per contest. Long story short: Clemson has dangerous weapons that will test even a defense as stellar as Florida State's.
"It's what everybody is talking about: great offense vs. great defense," FSU junior defensive end Bjoern Werner said. "I have a lot of respect for their offense because they have so many playmakers and you just have to prepare well. It's going to be decided on Saturday when you play the game but you have to practice well to get to that point where you can make the game-changing plays."
Helping FSU in those efforts this week has been the team's tremendous depth.
Former five-star recruit Jameis Winston mimicked Boyd on the scout team and Marvin Bracy played the role of Watkins to get the Seminoles prepared for the speed they'll see.
The attention to detail and focused preparation on the practice focus that has made FSU's defense the best in the country after three weeks. But allowing only three points in three games and leading the country in a host of defensive categories doesn't matter if you can't perform that way with so much on the line against a conference foe.
"It's a game where you can't take a play off because one of [Clemson's playmakers] will slip by you or break a tackle or whatever they have to do to make a big play," Fisher said.
FSU's third-year coach is hoping he sees his offensive players do some slipping by of their own against a Tigers defense that hasn't been overly impressive through three games.
The 'Noles enter Saturday's game with an offense that ranks second nationally in points-per-game with 58.67 and 12th in the country with a total yardage mark of 543.67 per contest. On the flip side, Clemson has allowed teams to register nearly 370 yards per game.
Leading the 'Noles' offensive charge is quarterback EJ Manuel, who had to watch from the sidelines a year ago as his team lost to the Tigers after being injured the week before against Oklahoma.
A year later he's healthy and ready to do his part to put FSU in that driver's seat -- and perhaps register that knockout blow in the heavyweight fight.
"The fact that there is so much build up going into the game is obviously something that you grow up as a kid wanting to be a part of," Manuel said. "Being from Virginia we watched the Florida States and the Miamis and these were the types of games that they had. ... That's what you want to be a part of; that's what you want to play in.
"The situation couldn't be any better ... we just have got to go out there and play."

Miguel is having a breakout moment. The 25-year-old is leading a wave of artists aggressively pulling away from the conventional boundaries of R&B by championing edgier, genre-blending productions while maintaining soulful melodies.
With a subdued groove and emotive croons, his left-of-center gem, "Adorn," has been a fixture on the R&B charts for the last seven months, including four weeks at No. 1. His sophomore disc, "Kaleidoscope Dream," opened to critical acclaim and debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200, and he recorded with Beyoncé for her upcoming record. He also confirmed an upcoming joint tour with Alicia Keys set for next year.

Samsung Ativ Book 9 ( 2014 Edition)
A big-screen ultrabook with a long, long battery life, the Samsung Ativ Book 9 2014 Edition delivers a high-end laptop experience for its premium price.
MSI GS70 2PE-010US Stealth Pro
Making small performance trade-offs to fit into a slim, attractive 17-inch body, the MSI GS70 Stealth is a gaming laptop for those who hate the look of gaming laptops.
Pricing not available
Lenovo Yoga 2 11-inch ( 59401972)
Lenovo's Yoga 2 11 combines the popular Yoga hybrid design with an affordable 11-inch ultraportable for a system that's budget-feeling but sturdy, and one of the best of a new breed of low-cost hybrids.
HP Pavilion x360
HP's Pavilion x360 adds Beats Audio (for now) and rugged construction to the expanding field of 11-inch Yoga-likes, but Lenovo's version feels much more upscale.
Lenovo Yoga 2 13-inch
If you can't quite afford the Yoga 2 Pro but still want a full-time laptop and a part-time tablet, the 13-inch Lenovo Yoga 2 is an excellent choice.
Apple MacBook Air ( 11-inch, 128GB)
Apple's 11-inch Air gets a CPU speed bump and a decent price cut over the already excellent 2013 version. If you have a recent model there's no need to upgrade, but for anyone else, it's now a better deal than ever.
ASUS VivoBook V451LA
Some might call the midsize Asus VivoBook S451 attractive, and it's certainly inexpensive, but too many sacrifices were made to hit that budget price.
Maingear Pulse 14 ( 2014)
You could spend an additional $1,000 and get a superslim 14-inch gaming laptop that would be the envy of your friends, but the Maingear Pulse 14 is just portable enough and has decent specs for the price.
Dell Inspiron 14 7000
While the entry model is less of a bargain than it used to be and configurations are limited, the thin, aluminum-clad Dell Inspiron 14 7000 remains an attractive option for its looks, performance, and price.
Toshiba Satellite P50t
Toshiba takes a solid premium 15-inch laptop and adds a great-looking 4K touchscreen while keeping the price reasonable. But at this point, it's mostly for bragging rights or early adopters.
Microsoft Surface Pro 3
While the new Surface Pro 3 is Microsoft's best PC to date, it's more successful as a tablet than a laptop replacement.
Razer Blade 14 Inch Touchscreen Gaming Laptop 256GB
Razer's newest gaming laptop trades ultralong battery life for a fantastic screen and even better graphics. It's a trade worth making: this is the best Razer gaming laptop, and the best thin gaming PC anywhere.
Acer Aspire E1-472G-6844
Acer's variation on the budget E1-472G Aspire laptop has good guts but an underwhelming exterior and design, and also lacks a touch screen. Nvidia graphics add a boost.
Asus Zenbook UX301LA-DH71T
Asus was one of the first PC makers to go ultra-thin with its Zenbook line. That latest UX301 version packs in nearly every high-end spec you'd want, but it's priced out of reach for most, and lacks an all-day battery.
MSI GE60 Apache Pro-003
The MSI GE60 combines one of Nvidia's new 800-series GPUs and other high-end components, in a gaming rig that's not the desk-hogging backbreaker some others are.
The Asus line of gaming laptops has always offered excellent high-end configurations, along with custom software and hardware tweaks. This latest version of the G750 bets on Nvidia's brand-new line of GPUs, and includes the current top-end card for great gaming performance.
Kirabook 13-i7s-touch Ultrabook
The design of Toshiba's high-end Kirabook hasn't changed since last year, but it has aged gracefully. The components get an update and the battery life gets a big boost, making this an all-around excellent, but expensive, ultrabook.
Toshiba Chromebook
Toshiba enters the growing Chromebook market with the first 13-inch model. It's a great size for switching between travel and home/office use and feels comfortable to type on, but other Chromebooks offer more features for the same price.
HP Spectre 13t-h200 x2
A rare larger-screen hybrid, the HP Spectre x2 aims to be both a portable laptop and a video-friendly slate. The price is right, but the design feels awkward and the wonky touch pad makes it hard to use as a full-time laptop.
Acer C720P Chromebook ( C720P-2600)
The Acer Chromebook C720P manages to get better at all the key things, adding up to a little laptop alternative that's better than any budget Chromebook we've seen before.

The Pentagon says it has lifted an order that briefly grounded its fleet of F-35 fighter jets.
The Fort Worth, Texas-built Lockheed Martin jets were grounded on Feb. 21. That was after the discovery of a small crack in the turbine blade of an engine in one F-35 at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif.
On Thursday evening the Pentagon said all 51 planes had been cleared to resume flight operations.
It said prolonged exposure to high levels of heat and other unspecific "stressors" were determined to be the cause of the crack. No additional cracks were found.

July 30, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Governor Bill Haslam says delay in setting up a state health insurance exchange could make Tennessee miss out on federal grants to help pay for it.
The exchanges represent half of President Obama's strategy for expanding coverage to more than 30 million uninsured people. Some people will pick a plan through a state exchange, while others will be covered through Medicaid.
Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey has said he would like to wait until next December to set up the exchange. That would let lawmakers put off the vote until after the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on the health care overhaul. It will also be after next year's election.
But Haslam told WPLN-FM that under Ramsey's plan the state would miss a deadline for federal grants.

Rick Ungar, Contributor
I write from the left on politics and policy.
Think the Obama administration is working to curtail the production of oil in the USA in favor of green energy sources?
Think again.
The International Energy Agency has today published its World Energy Outlook and, according to the IEA, the United States is on track to become the number one oil producer in the world by 2020.
And it gets better—so much so that I hope the Obama-bashers out there are sitting down because this is going to sting a bit.
The report further indicates that by 2035, the US will reach energy self-sufficiency and go from being an importer of oil—we currently import 20 percent of our total energy needs from other nations—to a net oil exporter.
As reported by CBS News Money Watch and confirmed by today's IEA report:
"U.S. oil output is surging so fast that the U.S. could soon overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's biggest producer. Driven by high prices and new drilling methods, U.S. production of crude and other liquid hydrocarbons is on track to rise 7 percent this year to an average of 10.9 million barrels per day. This will be the fourth straight year of crude increases and the biggest single-year gain since 1951.
The boom has surprised even the experts.
"Five years ago, if I or anyone had predicted today's production growth, people would have thought we were crazy," says Jim Burkhard, head of oil markets research at IHS CERA, an energy consulting firm."
So, how did this happen?
While the oil ideologues— and the never quite satisfied oil companies—were busy trashing the Obama administration in the effort to persuade us that Obama is 'anti-oil', we learn that—
"The major factor driving domestic production higher is a newfound ability to squeeze oil out of rock once thought too difficult and expensive to tap. Drillers have learned to drill horizontally into long, thin seams of shale and other rock that holds oil, instead of searching for rare underground pools of hydrocarbons that have accumulated over millions of years."
There are additional explanations for our leap forward.
For those who have been paying attention, this should not come as such big news.
However, few have been paying attention to the facts as the partisans have worked overtime to paint the Obama administration as being anti-oil and anti-natural gas.
Because the President—and his Environmental Protection Agency— has had the temerity to impose stricter air pollution requirements on fracking operations that were spewing dangerous methane gas into the air.
This is precisely why I long ago concluded that all the talking heads on TV and radio who so vehemently object to these EPA ordered air pollution measures must be required to live—with their families—within two miles of a fracking operation exempted from EPA requirements. Let's see how offensive they find these measures when it is their kids who are forced to breathe in these toxic fumes rather than someone else's children.
(continued on next page)
There is a difference between industry figuring out how to move forward in spite of Government Regulation rather than because it is against their industry. Now did you actually READ the IEA report or simply the executive summary? Did you read WHY the USA was going to become a net exporter? Did you see many of the assumptions? Honestly at times I get frustrated with articles like this… See Obama is not bad on oil, or NG or… Yes he has made it immensely more difficult to get these things out of the ground. If you are not in the industry you have NO IDEA. Please stop acting as though you had one.
His point is very simple: that this progress has been made in spite of the Obama administration, not because of it. You juxtapose things in a way that suggests that advances in technology refute claims that Obama works against the domestic oil industry, though that doesn't follow logically. You work sarcastic attacks on Obama's critics into nearly every paragraph.
While this piece is presented as a straight industry/technology news item, it becomes clear from the first paragraph forward that it is entirely directed toward defending Obama and bashing his critics.
The tone of this reads like something peeled from msnbc.
"this is going to sting a bit"….
The author of this article should have done some homework. Obama's energy policies haven't hindered energy growth, but they sure as heck didn't make oil and gas production any easier.
Saying that Obama is responsible for the oil and gas boom that's occuring across the country is as true as saying he's responsible for the sun rising.
America's oil and gas boom is unstoppable in its nature — there's too much money and benefit for this country for it not to happen. Heck, even Obama couldn't stop it, so now he's trying to take credit for it. Simple as that.
K, I'll rephrase. Here's your first sentence: "Think the Obama administration is working to curtail the production of oil in the USA in favor of green energy sources?"
Yes, I do think the Obama admin has curtailed production.
It's just that in the face of this lathargic admin, the unstopable oil and gas boom has prevailed. Do you realize in a State of the Union address Obama referred to fossil fuels as "yesterday's energy" ??? That was back before Obama knew the power of this boom. Now he's made a u-turn and taken credit.
Again, his admin (BOEMRE/EPA/ETC) has curtailed a US energy boom. And even with that headwind, the boom has occured.
Yea another lefty taking credit for something the private sector does.
Rick – If you actually did some research you would find that most if not all of the gains happen to be on private land, are due to technogical advances and are a result of the bush era policies.
Just as Clinton takes credit for the Internet and the telecommunications advances due to Rep policies of deregulation, This president is trying to credit for something he is actively trying to stop.
Rick has a clue!
Rick has no clue ( I mean ) . Obama has no way to stop Fracking on Private land. If he could he would !!!!!!

Ridge goalkeeper Rachel Axt held off six shots to keep Watchung Hills from scoring in the regional semi-final game at Tozier Field Friday, helping Ridge hold onto an early score to win 1-0.
The loss came even as the Warriors controlled nearly every aspect of the game.
"They played a great game—they couldn't have done anything better, they just didn't get the ball through," Ridge Head Coach Katie Donahue said.
The Warriors controlled the midfield through most of the game, and when not advancing the ball towards the goal, the Warriors kept the pressure on Axt and Ridge's defense.
"I'm really glad I have a really great defense because they back me up," Axt said.
Ridge scored early, with team captain Nicole Bates scoring at 3:25 in the first period, to get ahead and nursed the lead through the balance of the game.
The Red Devils face Scotch Plains Tuesday in the finals.

RALEIGH — Kudos to the ACC baseball schedule makers.
The mad dash to Durham concludes this weekend, and every series will help determine who makes next weeks eight-team ACC tournament. Three series will determine who wins the Atlantic and Coastal Division. Seven teams, including North Carolina and N.C. State, already are in the field but wont know their seed until Saturday evening. Four others, including Duke and Wake Forest, have a chance to steal the last spot.
Heres a look at whats at stake:
Final series: vs. Virginia (20-7)
When: 6 p.m. Thur., 7 p.m. Fri., 2 p.m. Sat.
At stake: The top seed in next weeks ACC tournament. The Tar Heels need just one victory against Virginia to win the Coastal Division and secure the top seed. Thats important because the ACC tournament uses a pod system. The No. 1 seed is grouped with the Nos. 4, 5 and 8 teams. The second division winner is the No. 2 seed and gets the Nos. 3, 6 and 7 teams. If Virginia sweeps the series, the Cavaliers would win the Coastal, and the Heels would fall to the No. 3 seed and be placed in the Atlantic Division champions pod.
N.C. State (16-10)
Final series: at Duke (9-18)
When: 6 p.m. Thur., 6 p.m. Fri., 1 p.m. Sat.
At stake: The Wolfpack could win the Atlantic title if they sweep Duke and Clemson beats FSU twice. Otherwise, the Pack is looking at a middle seed, no lower than sixth. The Wolfpack needs to beat Duke just once to knock the Blue Devils out of the ACC tournament.
Duke (9-18)
Final series: vs. N.C. State (16-10)
When: 6 p.m. Thur., 6 p.m. Fri., 1 p.m. Sat.
At stake: Its complicated, so lets start with the simple stuff: Duke has to sweep N.C. State and have Miami lose all three home games against Georgia Tech to have a chance (and that might not be enough based on other results). But, if Duke and Miami are the only two 12-18 teams, Duke would secure its first ACC tournament bid since 2009 because it owns the tiebreak against the Hurricanes. Duke also would make it if there is a three-way tie with Miami and Wake Forest.
Wake Forest (9-18)
Final series: at Virginia Tech (13-14)
When: 5:30 p.m. Thur., 5:30 p.m. Fri., 2 p.m. Sat.
At stake: Like the Blue Devils, the Demon Deacons must sweep Va. Tech and have Miami lose all three to have a chance. One loss or one Miami win, and theyre done. The Deacons hold a couple of tiebreak edges, however, so if they finish in a three-team tie with Miami and Maryland, they will go the tournament. They also go if there is a four-team tie with Miami, Duke and Maryland.

Missing Ingredients! I believe what this is missing is 1 tablespoon butter with the sugar and milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla with the dates and nuts. I prefer real butter and vanilla but margarine and vanilla flavoring will work. Cooking just short of the soft ball stage and beating in the dates and nuts with a wooden spoon makes it a bit creamier. Toasted pecans are our preferred nuts for this. I also use 1 1/2 cups of dates. My Grandmother made this every year until she couldn't, then my Mother took over. I inherited it when my Mom passed away. I am now teaching my daughter and daughter-in-law the tricks to making this wonderful candy.

My father made this recipe every Christmas. We called it "snake" candy because it is formed into a long roll before slicing. It is absolutely delicious and would make a great holiday gift. It is very simple to make, taking less than 30 minutes with a food processor to chop the dates and pecans.I highly recommend it!!
This recipe is great with TWO cups of sugar. Helps reduce the "white stuff" we all get too much of. I also added 1 tsp of vanilla.

WILMINGTON, N.C. -- Imagine if all cell phones stopped working-- if all the power went out? That's the premise of NBC's new hit show Revolution, and we got an exclusive look behind the scenes on the show's Wilmington set.
They have spent four days shooting in an abandoned hospital-- the perfect place to shoot a show about a future world without power.
"The show is-- it's a big what if, what would happen if all of this went away," said Zak Orth, who plays a computer genius on the show.
But he says that does not translate into real life.
"I like gadgets, but I'm not particularly adept at them," he says.
He is pretty adept, though, at avoiding revealing too much about what's to come on Revolution.
"I don't have a lot of answers I can give you, and whatever answers I do get, I'm pretty sure I'm not supposed to give you," he joked.
Series star Tracy Spiridakos will only hint at what will happen in the next two episodes, before the show breaks until March.
"It's going to be a really cool cliffhanger," she said.
"It keeps getting more and more interesting," said Elizabeth Mitchell, "What can you tease? oh yeah, more people will die, how's that?"
Most people know Mitchell from Lost-- the show Revolution creator J.J. Abrams is most well known for.
She told us, "He draws really intricate characters in extraordinary situations and I can't think of anything better than that."
Spiridakos said she loves the action in the show.
"One of my favorite things: every time I see a day where I have stunts...oooh what are we doing? Do I kill somebody today? It's a great job," Spiridakos expressed.
Orth promises audiences won't be strung along in the dark forever, "The one thing that we all do know is that the answers are out there."
Elizabeth Mitchell says she visits Charlotte often because her acupuncturist lives here.
Revolution wraps up with a fall cliffhanger that will air at a special time next Tuesday here on NBC Charlotte.

EpiPen law may save kids with allergies
When Tiffany Glass Ferreira's son Charlie was 3, she offered him a treat that nearly killed him.
"I gave him cashews. He took one bite and started to have a severe reaction, where he was crying, grabbing his tongue – his face started to swell," Ferreira said. "He looked like a Klingon, like a science-fiction character."
Charlie, now 5, ultimately recovered. To save other children from potentially fatal reactions to food allergies, Virginia last week adopted a law requiring schools to carry epinephrine auto-injectors, such as EpiPens. These devices deliver a single dose of epinephrine, or adrenaline, into the thigh of someone suffering a life-threatening allergic reaction.
After talking with other mothers in support groups, Ferreira, who supports the EpiPen legislation, said she realized she can't stop Charlie from having another reaction, but she can be prepared for it.
"I said, 'How can I prevent this from happening again?' Another mom said to me, 'You can't. It's going to happen again. You can't think if they have a reaction. You have to think when,' " Ferreira said.
The "when" factor is exactly what Sen. Donald McEachin, D-Richmond, had in mind when he introduced Senate Bill 656. SB 656 will require schools to carry epinephrine auto-injectors in case a child has a severe allergic reaction.
"The EpiPen bill does two things. For those jurisdictions that already had … the EpiPens in the schools, it allows them to have enough flexibility to continue handling the EpiPen issue the way they've been handling it," McEachin said. "For everybody else, it writes a protocol as to the need to have the EpiPen in the school, who can administer it and who can write prescriptions for it, because at the end of the day, it's a medicine and it has to be prescribed."
The bill also requires school nurses and other employees to be trained before injecting students with EpiPens. During its regular session, the General Assembly overwhelmingly passed SB 656 and an identical House bill, HB 1107, sponsored by Delegate Thomas "Tag" Greason, R-Lansdowne.
Gov. Bob McDonnell recommended that the legislation be amended to make it clear that school boards must implement the EpiPen law by the start of the 2012-13 school year. On Wednesday, the House and Senate unanimously approved McDonnell's recommendations. The governor plans to sign the law this Thursday.
John Rokenbrod, a spokesman for the Amelia County public school system west of Richmond, said current laws require students to bring their own medications, such as EpiPens, to school.
"In the past, you had to have specific permission for that student. You had to have a prescription and permission to administer the medication," Rokenbrod said.
The new legislation is intended to ensure that children without an EpiPen are not out of luck when they have an allergic reaction. Also, school officials will be trained to recognize signs of a severe reaction and to administer epinephrine.
McEachin's bill was introduced shortly after 7-year-old Ammaria Johnson, a first-grader at Hopkins Elementary School in Chesterfield County, died in January from an allergic reaction to peanuts. Ammaria's death prompted groups such as the Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network in Fairfax to call for laws allowing schools to stock EpiPens for use in emergencies.
"Absolutely, this one was inspired by the death of that little girl," McEachin said.
McEachin said he hopes the law will help avoid tragedies like Ammaria's death. "Maybe some little girl or some little boy won't die from an allergy when that's absolutely preventable," McEachin said.

Western Henrico Rotary helps fund Midwives For Haiti Jeep
Thanks in part to a $10,000 gift from the Western Henrico Rotary Club, another bright pink Jeep modified to travel extremely rough terrain has been delivered to Midwives For Haiti so that more pregnant women in the quake-ravaged country will have access to prenatal care and a greater chance of surviving childbirth.
The funds were raised at the annual casino night held in February, club president Adam Cherry said. The Rotary Club also helped purchase the Virginia-based charity's first pink jeep three years ago. > Read more.

Is there an Echo in here?
'Earth to Echo' aims to become this generation's 'ET'
It's no secret that all found-footage genre movies are the same. Grab a couple of characters, give one of them a camera, and expose them to something supernatural that's content to lurk just off-screen until the last five minutes. Everything else will just fall into place.
But that formula isn't particularly family friendly, if only because that thing waiting a few feet to the left of the cast is usually plotting their violent doom.
That's what sets Earth to Echo apart from the pack. It, too, follows a group of characters armed with a camera and a tendency to encounter unknown life forms. But all those familiar parts have been rearranged just enough to make it suitable for a much younger audience. > Read more.
