Compassion & Choices Colorado works with like-minded organizations to expand end-of-life care and choice.
We passed Colorado SB 102, which granted immunity to medical caregivers who unintentionally cause the death of a terminally ill patient as the result of efforts to relieve the patient's pain.
A representative from Compassion & Choices Colorado serves as a delegate on the Colorado Advance Directive Consortium. This group helped pass a law condensing advance directives and DNR (Do Not Resuscitate) orders into a one-page, two-sided transportable document. That document can easily move from one facility to another to be quickly reviewed by healthcare providers.

Letting Go with Dignity – A Short Film About End-of-Life Planning
The Colorado chapter has produced a film entitled Letting Go with Dignity, which presents a real-life situation when a medical crisis leaves the patient, her children, and the emergency room doctor unsure of what to do because the family had never discussed their mother's end-of-life medical treatment wishes. The film is followed by five brief discussion segments that invite viewers to think about their own end of life concerns and how to overcome the barriers in communicating those wishes. Eventually the film, along with a moderator guide, will be produced and made available to those interested in conducting a workshop on end-of-life planning in their communities. The film and discussion segments can be viewed free of charge here.

Memories of Adele | Mother's Day Tribute
Soon after my father died, my mother became a caterer. She designed a business card with her name, "Adele," written in bold tangerine cursive letters against a bright yellow background. At the bottom of the card were the words "Party Fair." In truth, she did not cater very many parties. She no longer lived in the small Northern town where her food was so popular that nearly all the major fund-raising functions were held at our house. In her new Florida home few people knew her, and business was less than brisk.
Still, I have carried that card in my wallet since October 12, 1986, the day she died in Branford, Connecticut, in the house we had rented by Long Island Sound so that in her last days she could look out her window to the sea. The card is better than a photograph. It holds my mother's favorite colors and the way I know she would love to be remembered — as a giver of food.
She was born in England to Middle Eastern Jewish parents, who moved to the island of Jamaica when she was 12, and her party food was a rich, intoxicating blend. There were Caribbean, English, and American influences, but the dominant tastes were Middle Eastern. I can remember sweet-and-sour meatballs, spice cake, a multicolored rich English trifle, but when she entertained, her tables and trays were mostly filled with kibbe (an exquisite lamb and cracked-wheat mixture, spiced, stuffed, and fried), meat patties, date cakes, stuffed grape leaves, stuffed artichokes, tiny spinach phyllo pastries, baklava, and the delicious sesame crackers we called carks, or "savory bracelets," that were my favorite
She had hoped to make money, of course, but more than that, I think she just wanted to dress up again. I believe she had never felt so beautiful as when she glided among her guests at home and heard them murmuring approval of her delicious renditions of favorite dishes. She found, however, that paying employers wanted her to cook, bring the food, and depart.
Whenever loneliness closed in, my mother came north to visit her brother in Connecticut, her daughter in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and me in rural New Hampshire. To each of us she brought her nonstop stories, her sorrows, her gaiety, and her party food. For my mother, cooking was divided into two quite separate identities. My Philadelphia-born father was a meat-and-potatoes man, and she regarded the nightly nourishment of her family as a dutiful daily commute from refrigerator to stove to table. We ate steak and chicken and our weekly share of frozen chicken pot pies. TV dinners, and tuna casseroles. But when company arrived, Adele was transformed. She was not merely a hostess, she was on stage. Cooking and serving her specialties became a thrilling performance.
When Nassar expelled the Jews from Egypt during the 1956 Suez crisis, cousins, aunts, and uncles I had never known descended upon our house. For days the walls reverberated with the warm babble of Arabic, French, and English. My mother's kitchen became their link with home, and their presence brought my mother true joy.
Preparing for a party, she'd be a bundle of nervous energy. Smoke filled the house from her incessant Chesterfields. She worked at a fevered pace for several days, getting ready, fueled by as many as ten cups of coffee a day. To calm down after she drained the coffeepot, she'd brew frothy cups of thick Turkish coffee in her long-handled copper pot. I can see her dipping her finger into a cup of cold water. Prodding open the kibbe dough, poking the minced meat and pine-nut filling down the soft throat of the kibbe, like a mother bird feeding its young, the way she had learned from her mother. Rose. When she deep-fried the kibbe, the kitchen filled with their aroma. My sister, Anita, and I pushed close to the counter where the hot kibbe waited on paper towels. Anita would take spoonfuls of the kibbe filling, the way children lick frosting from a bowl.

Like many people, professor of law and former congressional candidate James L. Huffman had always assumed that public disclosure of political contributions was a good thing. But as Huffman recounts in The Wall Street Journal, his opinion changed when he ran for office as the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate seat in
How does it work? By giving incumbents the power to intimidate even small-dollar donors:
A challenger seeks a contribution from a person known to support candidates of the challenger's party. The potential supporter responds: "I'm glad you're running. I agree with you on almost everything. But I can't support you because I cannot risk getting my business crosswise with the incumbent who is likely to be re-elected."
. . .
Disclosure makes threats possible, and fears of retribution plausible. Within weeks of a contribution of $200 or more, the contributor's name appears on the public record. Contributors know this, and they know that supporting the challenger can, should the challenger lose, have consequences in terms of future attention to their interests. Of course no incumbent will admit to issuing threats or seeking retribution, but the perception that both exist is widespread.
The U.S. Supreme Court has become increasingly hostile to campaign finance laws that protect incumbents from competition. At the same time, the Court has often been more forgiving of disclosure laws. This is perplexing, because the argument for anonymity in political speech is the same argument that is widely accepted as a justification for the secret ballot: It prevents public officials from intimidating citizens on the basis of their political activity.
It would be nice if courts expressed as much concern about "intimidation and the appearance of intimidation" as they do for "corruption and the appearance of corruption."
Hopefully experiences like Huffman's—along with the growing body of evidence that disclosure laws empower political elites by tying up grassroots activities in red tape—will cause the Supreme Court to reexamine the artificial distinction it has made between disclosure laws and other campaign finance laws. Both burden speech, both protect incumbents and both are unconstitutional.
Hat tip to Prof. Jonathan Adler.

Final election results presented different outcomes for two Pierce County fire districts that hoped to generate revenue for new and improved fire stations.
Voters said yes to Central Pierce Fire & Rescue's $39.8 million fire bond, which will help pay for three replacement fire stations and other upgrades in the district that covers 87 square miles in the Puyallup area.
But a $7.6 million bond request from South Pierce Fire & Rescue was rejected after falling short of the required 60 percent majority. Although it had enough votes for validation, it drew support from only 58 percent of voters.
Final tallies show about 66 percent voted in favor of the Central Pierce measure, more than the required 60 percent needed for approval. It drew 38,645 total votes, well above the 33,320 needed for validation.
South Pierce Fire & Rescue covers fewer people than Central Pierce but a larger, 138-square-mile area in the foothills of Mount Rainier. The fire district had planned to use the funds to help build a new headquarters station and remodel two others, as well as make smaller improvements districtwide.
South Pierce Fire Chief Bob Vellias said fire commissioners are considering putting the bond on the ballot again, among other options.
Despite the lack of a supermajority, he said everyone in the organization was encouraged by the overall support.
"We will continue to work on maintaining our existing buildings to the best of our ability with current funding," he said in an email to The News Tribune.
"We still will need a long-term answer to upgrading our buildings."Kari Plog: 253-597-8682 firstname.lastname@example.com @KariPlog

Another one is gone – I was shocked today as I drove past the Va.Bch. Fuddruckers and found it closed and the signage gone. I was thinking that it would be nice for my wife and I to go there for dinner tonight as it had been over a month since we were there last.
We have been fans of Fuddruckers for at least 20 years since discovering them in So. Florida and we are sorry to see them close another store. We used to go to the one on Greenbriar in Chesapeake but, they closed that one a few years ago.
I hope to see them return in another location soon.
Build a seriously hefty hamburger at this fast food joint with a diner-like atmosphere. – In Short
Red-shirted, black-bibbed attendants serve grilled burgers made from freshly ground beef, turkey, salmon, and even ostrich sandwiched by buns that are baked in-house daily. Hungry patrons gussy up the meat at a condiment bar stocked with lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos and a variety of sauces, then take a seat at tables topped with a black-and-white checkered tablecloths. Sides of cole slaw, baked beans and wedge-shaped fries complete the picture.
Greatest Burger in Hampton Roads – Juice, hot, and perfectly cooked! Condiments bar a plus. Decor appropriate.
Cost unequal to value – Fuddruckers does make a good burger ,but it is not better than most others. The cost vs. value destroys the experience. $10.00 for a burger and fries is just too much. On our last visit, we ordered shakes. What we got was chocolate milk with whipped cream and a cherry on top. They charge $3.49 for a shake. I think it was a 20 ounce cup. On the up side, the theme of the restaurant is nice, but overall it's not worth the cost.
Restaurant – Overpriced. Get much better product and atmosphere for same or less money at many local and chain casual dining restaurants. Lot's of noise and kids.
the bear's club – the one and only place to come and really have trouble trying to decide what type of meat you want for your burger. than when you get it, oh man time for the fixing's what a rush. than head to your table. get set. ready. devour . hmmmmmm you can't beat the taste.
Mombolishious – Great food, good selection, usually prompt service, some cashiers and waiters are airheads. Need to clean tables quicker.
Try the Osterich – Try the osterich burgers... they are healthier and tasty. My wife and I like to split the 2/3 lb burger and a regular order of fries. If we are still hungry, the brownies are above average and actually a pretty good bargain. I wish the fries were a little cheaper though.
It's Craptacular! – If your idea of a great burger experience involves out of control, screaming kids, do it yourself service, and a meal that woke me up later that evening, then Fuddruckers is the place for you.
Very FUD burger – The ultimate "have it your way" burger place. You pick what you want cooked, from the patty, anyway you want, size (1 to .25 lb), and any ohter cooked. You then wait and put on your own toppings. No mayo. Don't put it. Extra pickles. Put it. You can even make you own cheese fries. Ask for fries, and then put on your own cheese.

Great food awaits – The grill here is bar none, everything that comes out of that kitchen is fantastic, and alot of it is an ode the hickory and the fantastic kitchen staff.
The last time I went it was Houstons so I was happy to taste that the name was only thing to change, although I had never been for lunch before, which just goes to show it's good no matter what time of the day you go.
Granted it is on the pricier side, so it's a great place for a special occasion or a date-nite, especially if you want to impress someone, being right there along the embarcaderro but once you start eating you'll forget all about that.
I Just Know That's A Hickoy Grill!! – I would call Houston's one of my regular spots.Whether I want a drink, have company from out of town or dont' feel like cooking, it pops up in my mind. I remember the first time I tried Houston's in SF. I was wandering around the Embarcadero area trying to deliberate were to eat. All of a sudden(yeah..all of a sudden), I smell smoke. Not like SF is on fire, but like someone is stroking a well maintained outdoor grill of the hickory kind. I turned in the direction of the tainted air & see smoke, beckoning me, like a hand to follow.(okay, I may have been hullicinating from hunger)but I did follow the scent. I come across people standing around an outdoor fireplace happily sipping their beverages & sampling some appetizers. I reach the door in a dreamy state, but manage to read the "NO CORKAGE FEE" words on th door. Unheard of for SF!! The smells coming out the door make me want to hop behind the cooking counter and bury my face in something!! My first meal was prime rib, mashed potatoes and their grilled artichokes. Followed by their evil brownie dessert. Not to mention a pretty neat classic sidecar!! I have had many meals over the years. It changes periodically or based on seasons. I would have to say that the meals are always comforting, the indoor fireplace w/ nearby booths are a fave sitting area, on the weekends there is a jazz trio, & you can always sit at the bar to watch sporting events if thats your thing. Also, the service has always been friendly & cordial. One server, who was doubling as sommelier actually sat with us one evening to taste our bottle of wine. Side point, if you are vegetarian, you will find a great meatless selection!!
Love it! – Great food...had the halibut and it was perfect. Had a waiter that could have been more attentive, but that was the only thing that kept my rating from a 5.
Best lunch and service – There were 4 of us for lunch for our first time, and it was the best, both food and service, there was always someone there to see if we needed anything, and our drinks were refreshed with another glass as soon as it was empty. We meet once a month, and this place will be a repeat.
Ridiculous Hat Policy – This is not a super upscale place and they ask you to take off your hat in the dining room which is stupid. I agree with the other reviewer in that the hostess was not polite but more important our wait staff was less than interested in serving and aloof. My $17 salad was with greasy chicken and not tasty. I won't be back and the portions are not what they use to be.
Roomy banquettes and hefty portions typify this polished American grill that's popular for business deals and special occasions. – In Short
Burnished brass and stained wood complement roughly mortared brick and the occasional plant. Amid ubiquitous earth tones, corporate types and small parties (celebrating or simply living large) occupy deep booths done up in fine upholstery and lit from above by pin spotlights. Burgers, prime rib and steaks are the specialties of the house, but the menu also includes salmon, salads, pork chops and roasted chicken.
Extremely Uptight Black Hostess and Manager – EXTREMELY UPTIGHT HOSTESS AND MANAGER. Both are black and very uptight and stupid. And I am not against black people.
The black hostess who looks like Condoleza Rice and who works on Friday night is extremely uptight. I am a man and I was wearing a hat. and she told me men could not wear hats in this restaurant although women could. I told her that was a sexist policy. I asked if the policy was in writing. The hostess babbled something about Houstons being named after Houston Texas and in the 1850's men in those days took off their hats. I am from Texas and she failed to mention that in Texas in the 1850's blacks were also slaves. The hostess then called the manager who told me if I did not do as the hostess said then I should leave. I pointed out that women were wearing hats and that they were being served. I also said to the manager that is a sexist policy. The manager said even more stupid things too stupid to repeat and then I walked off. I wanted to leave but my friends said let's defy the restaurant and stay. We ordered less than we would have though and our evening was pretty much a downer.
I could see the uptight hostess telling the other hostesses what had happened and as we left one of the white hostesses with little to do said to me condescendingly, Thank-you for everything. I said to her and her attitude, **** off.
If you want a completely irrational hostess trying to make you over into her idea of 1850's Houston Texas with an equally stupid bumbling manager who can't see the idiocy in anything then by all means put this dump as a must see on your list of San Francisco experiences. If you want to be treated with respect and dignity and reality then avoid this place at all costs.
my favorite! – i've dined at houstons only TWICE and i absolutely love it! The only thing i hated was that everytime I've been there it takes forever to get seated and its EXTREMELY dark inside!! It tends to get really loud when its busy.. but they were so sweet and gave us complimentary french fries while we were waiting.. The food is delicious and the service is always top notch.. This is by far my fave restaurant in the city if you are out with friends or even on a date and the food is just the bomb!!
Busy and loud, but tasty food – Packed on a Thursday night around 9pm, and were told 45 min wait by the friendly hostess, which was fine by us, since we weren?t quite hungry yet. Stood at the bar, cocktails while waiting. Half hour later we were seated down from the bar side, so unfortunately we couldn?t see the fireplace or hear the live jazz at the other end. Noise level very high, but very nice layout, so we were still able to have an intimate dinner. Cajun snapper (kinda plain, but cooked well) with baked squash (VERY tasty), and the best french dip I?ve had anywhere, stuffed with tender pink beef. Would have liked just a bit more au jus, but minor point. Hubby even liked it. Apple walnut cobbler (?) was great, even if there was waaaay too much fresh walnuts in it, easy to pick off,. Everyone was so friendly, service was attentive.
Great Hawaiian Ribeye – Houston's has great ambience and great food, but expect to wait for about an hour if you plan to go there on a weekend night. You can make reservations for small parties, so I suggest that. The good is pricey, but good. I highly recommend the hawaiian ribeye!

Photo journalists become movie makers at the same time? This seems very good news for the newspaper owners, able to reduce the production costs ( many newspapers also use moving images on their web sites) Only one person needed for a combi-job that needs at least 3 people now. Who is the winner? Any idea how stressful both jobs can be already at this moment? The new "visual news gatherer" gets the stress for three, with a chance of early death. In turn this death is very advantageous to the pension scheme. Who wins?

Making sense of Canon's 4K cameras with EOSHD
The announcement of Canon's 4K EOS-1D C DSLR, have caused a lot of uncertainty about what the company is trying to achieve and who they're doing it for. Andrew Reid at EOSHD has taken a look at the camera's capabilities and omissions and what they mean for professional cinema production and how it sits alongside the EOS C500. We also spoke to Canon about how it sees the two models co-existing and who it sees at the audience for each camera.
Click here to read Andrew Reid's post: 'Making sense of the Canon Cinema 1D 4K DSLR from a film industry perspective.'
Canon statement:
'Thanks to its 4K RAW output, the EOS C500 will used as a main camera by cinematographers for high resolution broadcast TV and cinema production. However, the inclusion of all the same Full HD features as the EOS C300 provides the flexibility to suit many broadcast productions. The EOS-1D C will also be used by the film production industry professionals, possibly as a 'B' camera and particularly in situations where a conventional camera, even one as small as C300, won't fit. We also believe it will be used by independent cinema productions as a standalone camera.
'Because of the EOS 1D C's ability to act as a film and stills camera it also has an ideal application in journalism, allowing a single reporter could produce high quality video and capture stills for broadcast. Overall the unique feature set of the EOS 1D C means it will be suitable for diverse shooting scenarios.'

Machines create unemployment! OMG how will this end?
Hopefully with technology so advanced few, if anyone has to work anymore to produce all the things we need and there is no longer any need for money at all.
Someone feel like throwing their wooden shoes?
I don't care where Canon wants to place its steps. They are a private company and I don't own their shares.
What I assume will not go down well with traditional Canon PHOTOGRAPHERS ( who supported the company through decades of their purchases and their feedback into Canon research into DSLRs), is that Canon believes that the resulting pace of development on single frame processing should be directed at guys who can be charged higher by performing a weird DSLR/Videography gymnastics.
For this commercial Canon gymnastics to succeed, it is trying its luck on three fronts:
1-Trying to convince these photographers that video is good for them
2-Trying to sell these new weird concoctions as a new line for a brand new need
3-Trying to convince traditional videographers that photography is good for them
It is a big gamble by Canon. So ladies and gentlemen, place your bets.
HDSLR video is not some weird new fangled concept that Canon is pushing to photographers. There's already a huge community of filmakers, and a large cottage industry of accessories. Canon is just continuing the natural progression of HDSLR video.
DSLRs are pretty awful for video shooting, just the wrong form facto and gazillions of compromisesd overall. So forget that branch right away.
That leaves 2 other product niches from down-on-its-luck Canon:
(A) Video camcorders. It's called the XF-series. Little consumer/prosumer jobs with fixed lenses and 1/3-inch diagonal mini sensors. Priced all the way up to a mind-bending $8,000. Need we say more?
(B) "Hollywood by Canon" blind aspirations with the "Canon EOS Cinema" products. The first of these, the EOS C300 is receiving worldwide ridicule for a multitude of reasons. So Canon had just announced development of the C500 -- that looks identical to the C300. Makes sense, huh?
What's Canon is aiming to break into next, the IMAX market?
one of the best i ever used.
Yeah, i think Canon didnt make a mistake after all...they're pretty smart people and got it all pre-calculated long before the launch...
Especially those d*mn wealthy people (and there's plenty of them around even in my so called 3rd world country) who are video and photo aficionado will be ever willing to part with their cash...after all i see they are ever willing to keep buying Ferraris, Porsches, renovating their mansion and collect all the latest Rolex watches...this Canon 1DC is just peanut to them.
Most certainly, we who are cant afford...just cant afford. Canon definitely wont be aiming to make our money on this one...yes, the T4i / 650D we will be willing to buy, but not this this guy. :-P
Nevertheless, imho, this is a very good way for Canon to boast of its capabilities...especially with Nikon currently threatening them with their own 2012 DSLR releases. :-P
boast? it means nothing when the 5DmkIII can't even resolve true 1080p and lacks an clean 4:2:2 HDMI out. They should boast by actualy delivering competitive products at competitive prices. Nikon could easily deliver a similar DSLR and canon are outgunned in the high end market. look at the fs700. cheaper, better and is getting a lot more press.
boasting isn't what they need. they need to deliver.!
4K basically is about 8M per image. For most of purpose, you don't need to take still. Just take the video and extract 8M still from that.
I am not video expert but video's frame contains more motion blur for smooth motion
if all the frames are as sharp as still, your video will look like "Saving Private Ryan"
Take a still from any good quality HD camera, then take the same shot with a still camera and downsize it to the same resolution. You will be surprised how bad the video still looks.
Grabbing stills out of a video has never been a good idea. It's much worse than shooting in low quality JPG mode.
You also have little control over shutter speed in video mode. No phase detection AF, no viewfinder, ...
Focus will be slightly off, composition won't be as good, motion blur would be stronger, and it will be noiser.
Even 4:2:2 video, better than broadcast and DVD, has only half of the color resolution of luma (B&W) channel. So we are not talking about a 8 MP video frame grab, but 4 MP one. Besides, video is lossy compressed down to about 2% of the original size, so no wonder frame grabs look like trash. Add to that the fact that video needs to be shot at slow shutter speeds (if it is intended to be used as video), and action photos at fast speeds.
Guys these cameras have much less compression than the stuff from your still-video camera. Even GH2 with hack is very detailed.
These cameras have raw output, may not equals to still-image raw. But not too much compression for sure. These images are design to be blow up at movie theater screens.
This debate is already moot. High-end fashion shooters have been shooting magazine covers for the likes of Vogue using framegrabs from the Red One and Red Epic for some time now. The future's already here.
Still I wondering where the photo's from the Movie Once Upon a Time (1968) in the West come from. That was more than 40 years ago. The Movie was made on film. I´ve great respect for the quality of that Movie.
@Karl Burke
Who says they're good? More money doesn't equal better art. ;)
Canon EOS 1080p format is very soft, not designed for broadcast quality output. GH2 beats it by large margin. No wonder they need direct 4K resolution.
And the output is not "raw" by any means.
not if you care about quality.
Your Canon 5D II, probably 5D III skipping lines. That's why GH2 beats 5D II in resolution. These 4K ones don't skip lines. The resolution is much higher than GH2.
The low resolution in HD video from EOS cameras could be from overly conservative processing to reduce moiré? Also the JPEG images from DIGIC processors always look soft but oversharpened with a too large radius and threshold. You don't see it that well in shallow depth of field shots but normal scenery lacks detail. The 1080p stills from 5D III look just as soft as full resolution JPEGs (only 10 MP of information in those), any fool downsizing full resolution to HD size should get a better result than Canon. It seems they cripple it on purpose? Why don't we demand a firmware fix from Canon? That Panasonic GH2 with hack looks really good and exactly the quality I would expect.
Canon is making this camera for people with huge budgets. Its a smart move if this camera can perform. No point in whinning if you are a consumer. They rather go after the people with big time money. Dont worry people canon will eventually make a camera like the 5D III with higher resolution.
Me as a cinematographer i would switch towards SONY FS700 Than Canon 1D only if the price of Canon 1D is about $5000-$6000 !!!
Forget the 1D, it is a DSLR body, not good for videography at all. Canon had started out at $20,000 for the "EOS Cinema" C300, now it is at $16,000, needs to drop down to under $8,000 for anyone to be half-serious about it.
Instead, Canon's C500 is now priced at $30,000!!!
What a joke, huh?
What the use of Canon 5D mark III to videographers nothing really impresive still GH2 better with 1/2 price !!!!
The GH2 isn't "HALF" the price of a 5DMark3, it's literally only a 7th of the price. And the lenses are A LOT cheaper, too. So it comes out at a SMALL fraction of the FF-setup-costs, when using the GH2 for a project; and that at TRUE 1080p, not only resolved 720p, as in the 5DMark3.
For my purposes I need to have high quality stills from video (e.g. when filming a tornado or capturing a nice lightning strike) - this is important because Canon can't offer full resolution photos while video is being used, except with the penalty of pausing the video for one second. HD video quality as offered by the GH2 is something we all should demand from Canon at their high price!
I think eos 1D is away expensive is suppose to be $ 5000 max
Also all people waiting to see the new panasonic lumix GH3 which i hope will have much higher video resolution than Canon HDSLRs with low price
Which media can playback (= make visable) 4K Video ? Not my LCD laptop screen. Along with 4K recorded video there should be also 4K playback devices for max viasable quality.
That's assuming you're playing this video on a computer. But imagine you are playing it on a much larger screen (eg, theater) that doesn't have the same resolution limitations as a standard computer.
Or, and more likely, the high resolution footage is for archival purposes. It's the same concept as shooting on high-quality 35mm film, which you can easily extract several megapixels of data. Think about those classic movies you've seen that have been re-released on Blu-ray in hi-def and actually look stunning, even though they were filmed at a time when "hi-def" wasn't around and most TVs had the same resolution as a Gameboy.
Realize that you kinda just implied that all still cameras that shoot more megapixels than the largest size you ever print, are worthless cameras. Or that 16-bit still capture is worthless because you only post and print 8-bit images.
Also realize that the music industry masters albums at 96KHz 24-bit, which are specs far beyond your CD player or MP3. Are they wasting bits too?
"Extra" data is often used to preserve the quality during mastering and production, in all media.
Its a way off, but you can see the trajectory, with "Retina" displays on the way, 100Mb broadband, downloading would seem to be viable for formats beyond HD, logically 4K, already supported by you tube. the only question would seem to be how much true quality do you chuck away to make 4K 3D bandwidth and display viable.
MediaDigitalVideo is correct, there are very few monitors or projectors that can play 4K video. And the ones that can are $25,000 and up.
i think it is good that Canon is working on at what they are good at....going back to their core business (video camera) is the right thing to do...why insist on making still cameras when it is not really your core your strength?
focus on video cameras and photocopiers, Canon! stop humiliating yourself by insisting that you can make decent still cameras :)
Canon's upper management team is floundering and failing to capitalize on the huge upgrade potential from 5D MK II owners.
First, they should learn from Apple - iPhone, iPad 1, 2, 3 etc - new features - same price!
Second, they're price gouging they're higher end models because they mistakenly think they can get away with it. The C300 is way over-priced, the upcoming D1C is ridiculously over-priced and the 5D Mark III is simply under-whelming when it comes to video resolution.
Nikon is making a dent, but Sony is going to eat them for lunch!
Everyone is talking about buying the FS700 while virtually no one will buy their 15K Cinema DSLR.
The Sony FS100 has been out for awhile, but now is receiving so much revived interest which is a testament to Canon's recent short-comings.
On a brighter note, they will now sell a heck of a lot more T4i's as people want to get the Digic 5 low light sensitivity in a less expensive body.
correct. canon is outgunned by sony and the next generation reds are just going to increase the pressure. canon is simply too late to the high end video game and prices aren't competitive while lacking features. the dissapointing 5DmkIII video quality also means they need to watch out in the consumer area for sony/nikon are both playig strong cards and will only improve over time.
canon is no longer the defacto name for indi fim makers. the FS700 for the price is really a game changer.
Some strange explanations in Mr. Reid´s article. Coming from the industry, this is not a camera that is to compete with RED or Alexa. If you can´t create LUTs, control colour and levels through the process, it is not something any DP would go for. Grading possibilities? Building the light for the film is something completely different from doing dslr video today. Audio? If it is a B, why audio monitoring. It´s not being done on B. This is interesting, but it is not THE camera to be used as a B, at least not with RED-s or Arri-s.
This camera is going to be a complete flop.
Wouldn't those cinematographers for high resolution broadcast TV and cinema production use VIDEOCAMERAS rather than using a klutzy DLSR?
World is evolving, there is not too many 4K video cams in the market, it is possible that most of the 4K footage is distributed via internet and other new media - so the broadcaster are new as well not willing to focus on one media only.
meanwhile for the rest of us, i'd like to see Canon Log Gamma (curve) control for an improved Full DR customization in ExpSim LV (still missing for 'stills' on lower models like 5DMkIII).
i've asked for 'Gamma Curve Customization' via ExpSim LV (previewable DR) so we could better choose what ideal contrast to dial back in rather than having it preset dialed in for us (limited contrast sensor capture of current models).
aka: Full DR Curve Custom control (for dSLR stills in JPEG and RAW)
i hope they offer at least for the rest of us who can only afford 5D/7D (or 1D/s/X)
Even though this camera is not aimed at the sports photographer market, I expect quite a few of them to use it. Basically, this camera gives the sports photographer 24 frames per second capability, compared to 11 fps for people who use still cameras like the D3, D4 and D1-X. Sure, this camera is not full frame, but the 24 fps capability is simply a godsend for them. I expect those people who realize the usefulness of this camera for sports to show up at the summer Olympics and other sports events with this camera, even if they don not use the movie feature in their work.
its FF and APS-C crop for 1080p
even though it is only APS-H crop for 4K...
no AF while recording
you mean continues AF during recording ?
professionals almost never use AF while filming
24 fps would be a video still .. the resolution of that would be questionable compared to 8MP still camera resolution. Given 4K video is recorded to SD (too slow for a true 4K stream), there would be some kind of compression/skipping involved with 1D 4K video.
Plus if the camera was panned too fast in video, there would be jello effects.
I don't believe anyone is going to use the camera for 4K still in sports.
And remember the camera can't AF in video mode either.
that is just ridiculous. have you ever seen a broadcast of sports at 24fps? this ain't movies boy. nobody wants to see sports at such low fps. no broadcaster would take it.
This allows companies to fire half the staff and put that money into these cameras, and then have the other half do double duty.
Actually, they are already doing this. Newspapers have video on their web sites shot and edited by the still photographer who goes out to cover an event because they want to keep their job. If they don't, there's a dozen art school graduates waiting in line for the opportunity to "make movies" to a pittance.
This is the reality.
If we don't cut the cost and maintain a reasonable profitability, the company cannot survive too; then all the staff will be fired.
According to Canon, this is why video was added to the original 5D in the first place. It was a request from news organizations so they could send one guy instead of a crew.
What we are seeing today won't lead to that, because it's what has already led to this.
Not only websites - newspaper owners like Murdoch also own TV companies
Frankly, no one like to fire people and push people to work overtime, but today's competition is so severe; cutting cost becomes an effective way to improve company's profitability.
I like to improve employees' working condition by introducing new technologies and know-how to the company. I like Canon's concept in keeping down the prices of the tools (in this case the camera) which in turn helps the companies (especially the SME) to reduce their outsourcing costs and improve the total efficiency of the employees hence achieving win-win situation between employer and employees.
I think Canon knows who is their target customers and knows how to add value to their products in order to benefit their customers.
We are waiting to see more such products from different suppliers.
Kind of funny how this camera needs that amount of explanation to experienced and intelligent people like photographers.
The issue is not that we 'don't get it', it's more that this camera combines features, functional design and a price in a way that makes little sense in this specific mix.
It will help us to save a lot of money in doing marketing promotion materials. Now, we can own our cameras and let our own staff to do the job. Reduce outsourcing cost and better control in production time.
This is what we need.
There comes a time and a situation where the camera being produced by the manufacturer is just out of bounds from the common market...
Usually that means it's either a flop, or the only product that "gets it" when nobody else did (like the "it's gonna fail" iPhone). We don't know yet for this one.
24FPS = 1/48 sec shutter speed. This alone limits the possibility of taking useful frame grabs for stills.
That revolution (and it will be a revolution and mark the demise of much still documentary work) will begin to come when we can shoot 4K at at least 50 FPS. That would give us 1/100 sec shutter. Cartier Bresson was at 1/125...

My favorite card case
I had the Nixon version of this case for a year. It did the job but the cards always seemed to be a bit loose. Then when I dropped my phone the case didn't really protect it. Love love love this case 100 times more!
Great case
This case is great for me to have as a college student because I always need my school ID on me and when I leave campus I can easily slip in my credit card or metrocard as well. It's quite convenient.
i can go out and not have to worry where i put my ids
not bad
This is my 2nd case w/room for IDs. It won't take 2 credit cards, but will take 1 license (or other flat card) and debit card. I also put parking tickets or folded up bills in it. Great for sticking in your pocket and leaving the purse behind.
-Anne Marie
I would not recommend
Cute colors. Does not hold my credit card, and scratches easily
-S. Nickerson
Excellent product!
I love this case because most of the time it is all I need. When running errands I can just take my phone with the credit card in the back and it saves my back from carrying a purse.
-Anne Slaughter

The U.S. Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against concert promoter SFX Entertainment, Inc., for its policy that prohibits insulin users from bringing their diabetes supplies into concerts. Filed with the U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, the lawsuit claims that the policy violates the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA).
"Individuals with diabetes are entitled to attend and enjoy community events, like anyone else, without putting their lives at risk," Ralph F. Boyd Jr., assistant attorney general for civil rights, said in a news release from the Justice Department.
"SFX's policy is unnecessary and reflects outdated fears about individuals with disabilities," he stated. "Our goal is to foster integration of the disabled into society at large."
In addition, Title III of the ADA bans discrimination in public places against anyone based on his or her disability. The Justice Department claims that "SFX's policy violates the ADA because it denies individuals with diabetes equal access to and enjoyment of the concert."
The lawsuit was issued after efforts at a voluntary settlement with SFX failed, the news release said.
SFX Entertainment, Inc., which does business as Clear Channel Entertainment, is the world's largest concert promoter. It owns, leases, or operates approximately 110 venues throughout the United States, which present concerts, sports events and other live performances.

The Department of Foreign Affairs strongly recommends that you obtain comprehensive travel insurance which will cover all overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before travelling to Malta. You should check any exclusion, and that your policy covers you for the activities you want to undertake.
Irish Citizens should note that the Irish Government does not provide funds for emergency medical repatriation or for repatriation of remains.
You should also obtain a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) free of charge which entitles you to emergency medical treatment. This card is NOT a substitute for travel insurance. See www.ehic.ie for further details. The EHIC replaces the Form E111, which is no longer valid.
Safety and Security
You should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could also be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
Malta has a relatively low crime rate but visitors should be alert to the risks of pick-pocketing, handbag snatching and theft which is becoming increasingly prevalent in the main tourist areas.
Local Laws and Customs
The majority of the Maltese population speak English and it is a very westernised country.
Natural Disasters and Climate
Malta is not prone to natural disasters. The climate is very warm and sunny as a general rule. It does rain in Malta between the end of December and the end of February. Occasional heavy flooding is possible.
Additional Country Info
Irish citizens do not require a visa to enter Malta.
Most visits to Malta and Gozo are trouble-free.
Malta has a relatively low crime rate but visitors should be alert to the risks of lesser crimes such as pick-pocketing, handbag snatching and theft which is becoming more prevalent in the main tourist areas. Opportunistic crime does take place particularly in areas where large groups socialise in the evenings. It is strongly advisable to leave essential items such as passports, credit cards, travel tickets in a safe place, such as a hotel. The minimum in cash and /or credit cards needed on a daily basis should be kept in separate handbag or pocket. A copy of identification documents should be carried. Be aware, however, that safe deposit boxes in apartments and hotels can be targeted by thieves.
Do not leave any items of value in an unattended car because thefts from vehicles do take place. Doors should be locked and windows rolled up when parked.
Contact details for all Irish Missions (including Honorary Consuls) in Malta are available here. (Opens in new window)Top

Main Content
SJSU Articulation Office
Lower Division Requirements
Fall 2013 - Spring 2014
BS - Computer Science
San José State University -to- Malaysia: INTI International University College
Community College students should meet with a counselor as soon as possible to determine the equivalent courses offered at that institution. Students should complete as many as possible of the lower division requirements listed below, prior to transfer.
Lower Division Course Requirements
Community College Course Equivalents
|Note: This major accepts the AS-T in Computer Science (SB 1440 degree) for transfer. We recommend transfers complete the following articulated courses when course choices for the AS-T in Computer Science are available. We strongly encourage students to take courses which clear the American Institution requirement and 2nd semester/quarter of English composition as part of their CSU GE or IGETC requirements for the AS-T degree (doing so will increase greater choice in the 60 units of SJSU course work to be taken after transfer).
Lower Division Course Requirements: Please note the comments concerning the additional course in Science below.
Preparation for the Major:
|MATH 030 Calculus I
|MAT 132 Calculus with Analytic Geometry I
(grade of "B" or better required)
|MATH 030P Calculus I with Precalculus
|No Current Equivalent
|MATH 031 Calculus II
|MAT 133 Calculus with Analytic Geometry II
(grade of "B" or better required)
|MATH 032 Calculus III
|MAT 232 Calculus with Analytic Geometry III, Lab
(grade of "B" or better required)
|MATH 042 Discrete Mathematics
|No Current Equivalent
|MATH 129A Linear Algebra I
|MAT 216 Introduction to Linear Algebra, Lab
|All courses articulated with MATH 129A can be used to satisfy the MATH 129A requirement. All courses articulated with MATH 032 may be used to satisfy the BS requirement for MATH 032 or MATH 142 or MATH 161A. However, transferring students who satisfy both of these requirements with community college or other lower division courses will be able to use only upper division courses as electives toward the BS degree, due to the BS requirement of 34 units of upper division mathematics and computer science courses. In particular, such students may not use a community college course in Unix as a BS elective even if it is articulated with CS 072.
|PHYS 050 General Physics/Mechanics
|PHY 211 General Physics I, Lab
|PHYS 051 General Physics/Electricity and Magnetism
|PHY 212 General Physics II, Lab
|Computer Science majors must complete one additional course of three (3) units or more in science. This course may be upper-division or lower-division. Any courses equivalent to the following may be used to satisfy this science requirement:
|BIOL 001A Foundations of Biodiversity
|No Current Equivalent
|BIOL 001B Foundations of Cell Biology & Physiology
|No Current Equivalent
|PHYS 052 General Physics/Waves, Light, Heat
|No Current Equivalent
|General Chemistry Equivalent Transfer Course
Note: This major only requires completion of one semester or two quarters of General Chemistry in lieu of CHEM 1A taken at SJSU.
|No Current Equivalent
|Many students prefer to satisfy this additional course requirement after transferring to SJSU, because of the possibility of satisfying this requirement and another graduation requirement with a single course. Several SJSU courses will satisfy both this requirement and an upper-division GE requirement (see http://www.cs.sjsu.edu/Programs/bs_in_cs/requirements/CS_require.html#5). And CS 120A, Laboratory Electronics for Scientists I, satisfies this requirement and also counts as an elective upper division Computer Science course for the major.
Lower Division Requirements of the Major:
|CS 046A Introduction to Programming
Note: Articulated courses to CS 46A may articulate to CS 49C if taught in C or C++ and not used for CS 46A (see SJSU major advisor after transfer).
|No Current Equivalent
|CS 046B Introduction to Data Structures
|No Current Equivalent
|CS 047 Introduction to Computer Systems
|No Current Equivalent
|CS 049C Programming in C
|CSC 202 C-Language and UNIX Operating System
|CS 049J Programming in Java
|No Current Equivalent
|Students whose 46A and 46B equivalencies do not use the Java language will likely need to take CS 49J at SJSU. Students who take 49J at SJSU will not be able to count a 49C equivalent toward the BSCS, unless this course is also their 46A equivalent. A single course in Java is unlikely to be equivalent to CS 49J. Students whose 46A and 46B equivalents use Java may need to take CS 49C at SJSU if they have not completed an equivalent of this course.
Elective Computer Science Course:
|CS 072 Unix and Unix Utilities
|No Current Equivalent
|Please note that the Support for the Major and Requirements in the Major sections of the requirements for the BS - Computer Science at SJSU must include at least 34 units of upper division mathematics and computer science course work, excluding CS 100W and CS 110L. Therefore if you choose to take all of your lower division course work at the community college, including courses articulated to Math 032 and Math 129A (for content credit only), then you must take an upper division CS elective at SJSU rather than CS 072.
All students must satisfy the following prerequisite (or equivalent) prior to registering for the WST and 100W courses at SJSU {Academic Senate policy S05-8}.
|Once the following course requirement is completed (earning a grade of C or better), students should contact http://testing.sjsu.edu to register for the WST exam at SJSU. Passing the WST prior to your first semester at SJSU will prevent delays in registering for upper division courses:
|ENGL 001B Composition 2
A "C" or better is required in English 1B (a "C-" is not acceptable).
|No Current Equivalent
|2nd English Composition Equivalent Transfer Course
|No Current Equivalent
|A course articulated to SJSU's English 1B is recommended, however any course approved for the IGETC second semester English composition area would be accepted to meet this requirement (a grade of "C" or better is required).
Prior to transferring to San José State University all transfers must earn at least 60 transferable semester units (90 quarter). Within those 60 semester/90 quarter units students are strongly encouraged to complete the following:
1. General Education Requirements:
Complete all the CSU GE Breadth requirements at the community college (39 semester units/58 quarter units). The approved courses for each area can be found at www.ASSIST.org under the link "CSU GE-Breadth Certification Courses" for your college. Many of these courses can be double counted to meet the major requirements shown above, so choose your courses wisely. Please see your college counselor/advisor to review your general education in order to receive FULL OR PARTIAL CERTIFICATION PRIOR TO TRANSFER to San José State University.
2. Second Semester English Composition:
Complete the second semester English composition course (or equivalent) as it is a prerequisite to registering for the WST and 100W courses at SJSU. Students must earn a grade of "C" or better in this course (a "C-" is not acceptable). Approved courses can be found above within the lower division major requirements. Be sure to select this course as part of your CSU GE-Breadth 39 semester unit requirements. Once this course is complete, students are encouraged to take the WST exam at SJSU to avoid delays in enrollment for other SJSU required courses. To register for the WST contact our Testing office at testing.sjsu.edu.
3. American Institutions Requirement (US 1, US 2, and US 3 must be completed):
This requirement is normally 2 courses and can be taken as part of your CSU GE-Breadth 39 semester unit requirements (GE Area D and sometimes Area C). The approved courses can be found at www.ASSIST.org under the link "CSU US History, Constitution, and American Ideals Courses" for your college.
4. Physical Education Requirement:
Two courses are required and must include at least two different activities. Completion of these courses will clear the graduation requirement at SJSU.
5. Lower Division Major Course Requirements:
Complete as many of the lower division courses required for the major as possible. Many of these courses may be double counted as part of the CSU GE-Breadth 39 semester unit requirements. These requirements are shown above.

How to find articles ...
Once you find a citation in an online database, follow these steps to locate the full text of the article.
Note: Many library databases offer full text of articles in addition to citations and abstracts. If an article is available in full text you should notice a PDF icon or HTML full text button that links to the full text of the article. If there is no link present, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open a new browser window or write down the citation information for the article including author(s), article title, journal title, volume, issue, publication date, and page number(s).
Step 2: On the University Libraries' home page (http://library.gmu.edu) click on the E-Journal Finder (E-Journals under the Research Tools heading). Enter the title of the journal and then click the Submit button. Make sure that you are searching with the title of the journal, not the title of the article itself. The E-Journal finder and library catalog only index the actual journal titles.
Step 3: Check the dates to verify that the date you need is available. Click the link that has the dates you need.
Step 4: Use the citation information to locate the article in the E-Journal. Remember, each database organizes the information differently. Look for the volume number or the date you need. Some databases put older issues in an Archive.
If the journal or date you need is not in the E-Journal Finder
For more assistance with finding full text articles, Ask a Librarian.
