By JEANNIE NUSS The Associated Press
MULBERRY, Ark. - A small but growing number of farmers have been experimenting with an edible soybean as they look to capitalize on Americans' interest in adding non-meat proteins to their diets.
Edamame, often used in Asian cuisine, is being grown by U.S. farmers who see a market for the whole soybeans among Americans interested in protein alternatives to meat.
The Associated Press
Ray Chung, at his American Vegetable Soybean & Edamame Inc. plant in Mulberry, Ark., estimates there is a $175 million to $200 million market for edamame in the U.S.
The Associated Press
The United States is one of the world's top soybean producers, but most beans grown here are used to make cooking oil and feed farm animals. They aren't eaten whole.
Now, some farmers from Arkansas to Minnesota are planting a type called edamame, which is commonly used in Asian cuisine.
Food trend experts and farmers say edamame remains a niche product -- somewhere between chia seeds and quinoa in popularity -- but they see potential for growth if food companies can figure out an efficient processing system for a crop that must be harvested and packaged quickly.
Plus, with meat prices rising, Americans are interested in less expensive, alternative proteins. And possible marketing worries, including the notion that soybeans are livestock food, have faded.
"Soy has not historically been viewed as being an edible crop in the U.S., but now, with more people becoming aware of Asian foods like tofu and edamame and more people adopting plant-based diets," things are changing, said Ray Chung, who runs an Arkansas plant billed as the first in the U.S. dedicated to processing edamame.
Harry Balzer, chief industry analyst for The NPD Group, a consumer market research firm, said he's seen a trend in cost-conscious consumers looking for alternatives to meat.
"If you can make my proteins cheaper by providing me with an alternative protein source, I think you have a wider market because now you're talking about money saved," Balzer said.
It's not clear how much edamame is being produced in the U.S. because the Department of Agriculture doesn't distinguish it from other soybeans.
But trade groups, such as the American Soybean Association and the Ankeny, Iowa-based Soyfoods Council, agree that the amount is small, and most of what Americans eat now comes from Asia.
Farmers who are testing the edamame market have mostly started small. Ray Gaesser has been planting about one-tenth of an acre on his farm near Corning, Iowa. His main business comes from some 6,000 acres of soybeans and corn.
"Growing edamame is the same thing as growing a conventional soybean. It's the harvesting that's the difference," said Gaesser, who is also first vice president of the St. Louis-based American Soybean Association.
Farmers typically plant soybeans -- edamame or otherwise -- in the spring. The plants sprout, grow leaves and flowers and, eventually, bean pods.
Most commercially produced soy is left to dry in the fields before its seeds are harvested to make oil and animal feed. Edamame, on the other hand, is picked when the bean pods are green and tender.
"Once it's harvested, you've got a certain amount of time to get it to the processing plant to get it processed or you start losing quality and you start losing product," said Jeremy Ross, an extension soybean specialist at the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service.
Gaesser has been growing edamame for several years now and said he would consider planting more, but there's not a processing plant close enough to his farm to make it practical.
In Arkansas, Chung and his father convinced nearby farmers to grow some 900 acres of edamame last year for his company, American Vegetable Soybean & Edamame Inc.
He plans to increase that number this year, although he wouldn't say by exactly how much. He wouldn't allow The Associated Press to talk to his farmers, either, citing confidentiality agreements.
Chung is protective of his company's share of what he estimates is a $175 million to $200 million market, with 25,000 to 30,000 tons of edamame being consumed each year in the United States.
All the edamame frozen at his plant northwest of Little Rock is grown in the U.S.
Chung and Gaesser said that edamame could be more profitable for farmers than other kinds of soybeans.
Chung's company is selling now to stores including Sam's Club and Whole Foods. Someday, he hopes to export American-grown edamame to Asia, where people have been eating it for centuries.
"There's a big middle class that's emerging in China, and they're becoming more educated about food choices," Chung said. "And so, to them, when they see a 'Made in the USA' label they want it."

I have great little 20 month old and I am looking into feeding him toddler formulas with his regular whole milk. Also looking at cloth diapers. I have been checking out reviews and tryin to understand all the directions out there but the only diapers I've come to understand are gDiapers. Any advice or opinions on them is welcomed and appreciated. :) thanks
I have several of the cloth diapers and they are really nice. There are soo many great brands out there to choose from. Just make sure that you have ones that are soft and easy to use. I believe Kooshies is a good one and so are gdiapers. My advice is to just buy one or two of a particular brand and try it out to be sure that you like it and your 20 month old will wear it. My 2 year old will not wear them, he doesn't like it (not for any good reason...they are just different), but when he was younger it wasn't a big deal.

How foolish of me. I expected a hundred of the usual comments on how the winner didn't deserve to win because blah blah blah. Instead it's a litany of ignorant bigotry disguised as pseudo-political posturing. I thought this was a digital photography website; I was clearly wrong. I think we need to update Godwin's Law.

World Press Photo announces 2013 contest winners
Swedish photographer Paul Hansen has won the World Press Photo 2013 award for his picture of a Palestinian family carrying two children who were killed in an Israeli missile strike to their funeral. The contest also awarded prizes in eight other categories ranging from Sports to Portraits.
Some of these images may be familiar from news coverage throughout the year, but they make a compelling and inspiring reminder of the exceptional level of photojournalism across the world.

it's a digital photography website of ignorance peeps who buy very expensive stuff to make themselves feel good about being so bad at what they try to do. then they need to judge others with absurd statements injected with passive-aggressive political opinions.
HAMAS puts the rocket launchers near civilians homes. They also make "human shield" from kids and women. HAMAS hates Israel more that they love their children.
The winining photo is too much post processing. And too politically committed.
Our society is sick if the photos of dead children are at 1st place.
@Maloy Not sure what your point is ogl simply rephrased a famous quote from Golda Meir: "Peace will come when the Arabs will love their children more than they hate us". She also had another famous one -"What bothers me most is not that Arabs kill our children, but that they force us to kill theirs".
Hm.. pretty accurate description. One would say that those fanatic guys simply lack "love".
Indeed, the Arabs have the most dangerous and dishonest propaganda machine since the Nazis in WW2. And that's no surprise, it was the Nazis who taught the Arabs all they needed to know on how to demonise, and they are doing a wonderful job. The awards committee for this photograph have been duped.
When there was that massacre in Mumbai and the amazing Gavriel Holtzberg & family where slaughtered, no one used the images (of the bodies) as propaganda, neither did the British during WW2 when the Germans bombed our cities, nor do the Americans in terrorist atrocities. For the latter entities know where to draw the line.
Never commented on a public forum before about matter's Muddle Eastern, but images such as the winning one deceive those (in particular naive malleable youth) who have little idea as to what is going on 'on the ground', and this will breed yet more anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli sentiment. The deceitful liberal media aught to be ashamed of their duplicity.
Yep. These images are cheap emotional fodder, and they reap first places with the predictability of the knee-jerk reflex. Ugh!
"They also make "human shield" from kids and women."
Any proof or evidence?
- - -
Propaganda requires huge amount of money; palestinians cannot afford to compete in this field with their counterpart, whose propaganda is massive.
Um, like they put their missile launchers/outposts next to hospitals/schools?
israel shoots innocent peeps, assassinates peeps unilaterally, doesn't follow international law but wants international recognition. blah blah blah. what's the point? you guess it's too much post processing...because....it just looks it. like who you think is bad cause they just look it. also, it's a war photo, of course it's politically committed. are you serious about what you last said? have you read the headline news in the US? of course our society is sick, but not because of two dead children in the winning shot. the photo is not tied to why our society is sick, that's a far more complex subject to broach.
"like they put their missile launchers/outposts next to hospitals/schools?"
Any proof or evidence?
You have to a have a really bad enemy, to justify your own atrocities. Each side has an interest in picturing their enemy worse than they are.
I thought this is the 2012 winner ?
There is a bit of confusion in the media, some say 2012 others 2013.
Does it matter?
Will next year be different?
Sure "another" war/dead body photo will win.
another tone mapped painting you mean. - this isn't a photo.
Some "journalists" will even build up the whole scene with burned toys on the foreground or ask to their guide to play dead. (just google it, it happened many times)
About the #1: I am sorry for the children, but every military operation can be collateral damages including non involved civilians. Don't forget that the HAMAS terrorists are also civilians and they deserve every bullet.
No one saw us running to the shelter at 2:30 am and we don't publish our dead's pictures. Not even the mother of 4 that was killed in the street by a palestinian rocket . In those days of the 2012 conflyct they shoot more than 1000 rockets on Israeli cities.
The difference is that when Israel shoots they are collateral damages.
Palestinians shoot to kill civilians.
Dead Jews is no news...best example is, how reluctantly the Itamar-masacre was reported by western media...even though the murders were carried out with cruelty unheard of. But I guess the media figured, if a six year old, a two year old and a three months old "Settler" got butchered (along with their parents), they must have "somehow earned it"...
Wow Maloy...you will win an argument any day...
Please stop your propaganda of good vs evil. It's no better than Mr. Hansen's, except he gets paid for doing so.
Dead people are dead people, no matter where they come from.
100% false: Israel shoots to kill civilians as well, w/o making any differences between Hamas people, children, families etc. etc.
Their mission is to submit all palestinians.
rikyxxx as a former IDF soldier, I can say with certainty that you are just full of crap. As much as Maloy.
Please enlight me: how con you force a white phosphorus cloud to go only on a specific person?
dead people with ice-topping and cherries look kind of disturbing to me - if the purpose of Mr Hansen was to sell a fake sweetened vision of death, well done !... This makes no sense.
Seems a lot tougher to get a winning picture when you are not in a crisis area. In that photographers sense: May the wars all around the world never stop...
As serious as all this is, I think, this "it has to be tears or blood on a picture to win a prize" mentality gives a wrong sign. To me, most of those shots are pure voyeurism, but well pairing up with the nowadays understanding what good journalism seems to be. In that very sense, if you have the chance to capture a beautiful moment with your camera today or anytime, do it, you heal the world a tiny little bit.
My feelings are with the victims of all those stupid and unnecessary wars around us. And as history has proven us over and over again: Blood always leads to more blood.. We probably should start thinking about a new strategy.
Have a peaceful time.
Photojournalism showing the power it has to make us feel.
In many cases, sadly, making me feel ashamed to be human.
Get a grip, maloy... Nobody wants to see/hear YOUR opinion, once you get weal squooooy. And believe me, you come off REAL SCREWY!!
Now I liked that. And have "LIKED" a number of your postings, until you get to thinking that you're the only one thinling, then it gets Squoooie, very screwy indeed..And by compareing your grand postings to my very few postings, I have to assume you're into competitve Squoooie!! RJM
congratulations Paul Hanson. You have made a true photograph in a very dangerous area for a photographer/journalist. Israel don't like photographers at the prison they have made called Gaza. Really a lot of respect for you.
Civilians are killed ...by bombs in a city environment is an act against the geneve convention. The world should know, the world should act but no we do nothing...even people write stupid heartless comments.....
this photograph didnot reach the mass media...it is only pupblished in a swedish newspaper...it deserved much much more attention......so also respect for the jury to have the courage to give the price to this photo.
all we need is peace in Israel and Palestina. Two states that will live next to each other. The ivilians of Israel and Palestina deserves that....stop the brainwashing by mass media...show the reality...and then justice can happen
What a crap...so lobing 12.000 missiles at Israeli cities is in conjunction with Geneva Convention? As a matter of fact civilian infrastructure becomes a legitimate military target as soon as it is misused for military purposes. You should be glad Israel doesn't act like NATO when it comes to such targets...
Tatoo - I really think you don't understand what motivates this kind of photograph at all. Perhaps you think its best that the public don't get to learn about the plight of these 2 dead children, that we don't get to learn about the dire situation that lead to their deaths, that we remain ignorant?
I would argue that i do indeed understand what motivates this kind of photograph. Our primary interest is ourselves. The common reasoning you've given is simply a story invented by the mind in order to justify our actions as being 'good'.
Well only a week ago I sat down to a 3 hour lecture by 2 award winning photojournalists one of whom had spent considerable time shooting in palestine, both of whom explained their motivation to keep on shooting. She was keen to point out that her work was not well paid, that she absolutely did not take the pictures for the recognition, she took the shots to make sure the world understood the plight of the people she photographed, to convey to the world the horror of their situation, and above all to try to change peoples attitudes. I did not invent anything - but I put it to you that in your post you did.
So she has become a political activist for "the Palestinian cause". Is that legitimate for a journalist? I doubt that...
Well she would be keen to point that out wouldn't she...
Bet those two dead children would be overjoyed to learn some photographer is furthering their career on the back of their corpses.
Thats reason why there isnt that much war journalists at first place. Not many ppl have stomach for that.
The bull race photo has become a cliche. Shame.
But, judgement in photography always brings out negative emotions, that's it.
IMO i don't get it how people are not yet bored sick of a eon old arab/israeli conflict. Why not just stop covering it altogether till one destroys the other or they both eradicate each other. The real end of the conflict would be some exciting news.
shame on you !!
i don't care which photo win or lose, but i hope one day i c u like the palestinians who lost their families and home land, to c your reaction about it !!
shame on you and on all who think like you
Since the winning photograph is political I think I'm entitled to also be historical reminder:
UK gave that land back to Israel (from Turkey?) for free.
Israelites then bought that country from anyone living there.
The Arabs called out any muslims in the area and pushed the Israelites inside planning on to terminate them all.
During the 19 years when the Arabs had the Gaza+West-bank there was NEVER "a Palestinian State".
Israel got the those areas after yet another genoside attempt.
Now the clever thing happened:
Just claim and repeat it that it's the Israelites who are bad.
Enough lies and everybody believes it.
The Gaza strip was given to the 98% dominant race in a peace treaty where NO ROCKETS would EVER be launced towards Israel. Guess what?
I'm not claiming that Israel has not done wrong.
Both sides has lost a lot of civilian lives among them children
Every nation has a dark side :-(
Bombing of Dresden as a revenge?
May God be merciful on us...
So Israel bought that country from "ANYONE" living there? funny how they teach the story to make it sound better.
They bought the land from the landlords, a few privileged ones sold the land where the people lived, and who didn't have a say in the matter and where forced to leave the land where their families had lived for many generations. Just place yourself in that position for a moment.
Do you really believe that negotiations went with thousands of people to buy their properties? c'mon I'm sure you can do better than that. And as you say, it only went from bad to worst for those families from there.
Jews had been purchasing land there since the late 19th century actually....crack a history book once in a while...
Your racist comment is disgusting and hopefully gets you banned for your anti-Semitic remark. Not all Jews are Israeli, and you may be surprised to learn that not all Israelis are Jews.
It's the shame...The wining photo is the shame.
congratulations for the wining photo.
Also it can be a daily photo since isreali crimes never end in that region !
Since you are from Lebanon, it makes perfect sense that you would know a few things about crimes and human rights abuses, lol, am I right? :P
yes u r right !
i know very well how israel killed our people and occupied our country because we supported the palestinian issue and the refugees. is this the human rights which u r talking about ?!!!
Well, that's what you get for supporting a side which is engaged in active military activities against another country. That's the way it works, pal, whether it is wrong or not. Just check the history - Mussolini's Italy, Japan in 1945, Talib's Afghanistan, etc. they all failed victims of their own choices. Perhaps, your country should do best to stay away from the next conflict it doesn't belong to...
actually this what we get because Israel is our neighbour. This country living on war and terrorism and will always do. My country supported the pallestinians by building camps for them, but israel attacked us as well as the camps
There are other muslim countries sharing a border with Israel. Yet, they are nor occupied, neither attacked. I am sure your people can learn a couple of things form Jordan or from Egyppt which could help your country to stay ouf of the next conflict (a hint - how about signing a Peace treaty with Israel?). And by the way, people of both Jordan and Egypt do support Palestinians, yet both countries are officially in the state of PEACE with Israel.
Hehe, it is rediculous when people intend to forget history. Isreal entered the war with all countries surrounding it and occupied a peace of it. Read history...read this !
I think you have conveniently forgot quite a bit of history. Israel didn't choose war with its neighbors...the Palestinians did choose not to accept the UN charter though (oops).
Shame about Lebanon....beautiful country on the one hand, laid to waste by a lot of hate mongerers.
@mkandil Your argument doesn't make any sense in the context of your country being in the middle of the conflict while Jordan and Egypt are not. Yet you call them ridiculous... I feel sorry for your beautiful country which was called Switzerland of Mediterranean before you let Hezbollah to turn it into hate mongerers nest.
This is documentary, strict and cold. Perfect photograph, sharp, deep and shocking. Thanks for sharing consequences for daily rocket fire of Israel. Good job, photographer! I'm VERY SORRY for loss of inocent life of children.
Interesting that 6 out of the last 7 years of 'winners' take place in the Middle East.
The judges seem to have a fixation with that region.
Contrived propaganda gets tiring after a while. More and more are waking up and growing sick of it, this predictabile tendency of the MSM to distort and tell half truths (on a good day).
The rest of the world has compelling problems that need attention too, and fascinating scenes to depict as well. Don't ignore this area and conflicts in question here, but don't obsess with it at the expense of ignoring the rest of the world either.
100% agree ! There is an over-exposition of the Middle-East in these photo-journalism contests ! Far too much !
Why don't bother with the fate of albinos in Africa (cf: http://www.africanews.com/site/Tanzania_Albinos_in_danger/list_messages/20418 ) where they are butchered and turn into lucky-charms or lucky-meat ? Too horrible to be shown ?
Why don't bother with the urban violence that bursts everyday more and more in Europe ? Too disturbing for the multiculturalism ideologist ?
Why don't bother with Fukushima where hundreds of tons of radioactive waters are released even nowdays in the sea; not dramatic enough ?
Why don't bother with more positive subjects ? Not emotional enough ?
Is photojournalism designed to be a polically oriented and a showbusiness-like raw emotions provider ?
Just who are the JUDGES? And from where do they Hail? And I'm not sure that THEIR politics are conflicting with my own.... BUT, I'm not shoving mine down the readers throats!!
Agreed. These photo awards have been corrupted into "MSM-approved visual rhetoric" awards.
DPReview should host its own photo awards!
Still speaking of World Press Photo 2013, this is a true story, I read some stories of photographers and this caught my attention in particular...
Portuguese unemployed wins World Press Photo prize with photo taken in Guinea-Bissau! Daniel Rodrigues, 25, won the first prize in the category "Daily Life", the contest of 2013 World Press Photo, the winners of which were announced on Friday. The photograph that won the prize was taken in Guinea-Bissau and portrays a football game in a 'field' improvised. The Portuguese photographer has been unemployed since September and had to sell his photographs for a living. His greatest desire is to regain camera, lenses and equipment, in order to return again to photojournalism.
The prize was 1.500€, about 1998 usd.
Makes us think a little...
News link (translated by Bing) http://sol.sapo.pt/inicio/Cultura/Interior.aspx?content_id=68305
Surprise, Surprise! As every year the winner is a picture related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. And it goes without saying that there is no chance in hell that it ever would depict the Israeli side of the story. But I guess, rockets fired at Israeli civilians from beside a kindergarden in Gaza don't make as "good" news as children killed in a strike on those same rockets...
Oh, and in case you don't believe me, go back through the dpreview news section a few weeks to find out what made the Time Magazines picture of the yea 2012r...
Please, show me pictures like that in Israel. The genocide and the invasion is agaisnt palestinians, and thats is the reality.
To JuanInsurrexit: for sure the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a huge topic. But is it the only one to be shown on earth, and is it the only one to deserve to be awarded, again and again and again ?
Some will say showing a conflict helps to resolve the problem. Maybe. But the results seem not so obvious after so many Israeli-Palestinian conflict related photo won a prestigious prize. And once again, there are plenty of big issues in the world that deserve to be photographicaly pointed out too.
"the Israeli side of the story."
Yeah, and pictures of Warshaw ghetto should have shown German side of the story too. After all, those vile Jews in the ghetto killed nice innocent German soldiers.
Instead we got total propaganda like this:
To William. Sure there are many other conflicts in the world, and i see pictures about those in WPP 2013 Winners, for example Wounded Knee, Syria, Sudán, Rio Favelas and the gangs from El Salvador. The facts are than the ocupation and genocide of the Palestinian are today, one of the worst and most dangerous conflicts in the world.
@JuanInsurrexit You wanted some photos from the other side?
I respect all victims, but for one photos of yours do exist at least 100 even more shocking photos from the palestinian side. At least.
And this "photos-ratio" is not related to same sort of pro-palestine propaganda, but represent faithfully the existing violence-ratio between both sides.
@ricky There is probably equal amount of violence at both sides (otherwise, one of the sides would have already won, don't you think?). Israelis are just more efficient when it comes to defend their children, you'll have to admit that. Anyway, do you know the ratio between the number of Americans killed in 9/11 to the number of Al Qaeda/Taliban fighters that perished in Afghanistan together with their kids and wives?
"There is probably equal amount of violence at both sides"
No, you're wrong: body counting isn't something I like, but killed palestinians are many more, by far.
"otherwise, one of the sides would have already won, don't you think?"
I don't get the logic in it as much as I don't get the link between al-qaeda and Palestin.
Wow, so many consumers of sour grapes here! Unbelievable.
Two thousands years before, people liked to go to the roman circus to attend an hollistic show: every human emotions were depicted through a large variety of shows. The most enjoyable as we know was the gladiators fightings. Alas, two thousands years later, a lot of commoners still like to watch at bloody scenes the most. Horror, sorrow, fright, pity and rage, all in the same shot, there are very few shows that can compare to that !
Syria pic = D700 50/1.4
Apparently antisemetic and antipenguine judges have made their way to the jury, again.
Apparently when one can't argue on facts/reality one has to resort to name calling?
No thanks! I pass...
I bet that if the winning photo was taken in Israel, it would not have been the winning photo.
Yeah, unless it is exploitable to incite against Israel...and the worst thing is, one cannot even be sure whether the situation depicted in the "winning picture" isn't a lie altogether...there have been several (become to known) occations, when Palestinians - even children - posed as "dead" for the media, eager to be fooled to (or even actively) participate in a propaganda stunt. Do I need to say "Mohammed al-Dura"?
I totally agree with you.
Yup, all the shelling, bullets, white phosphorous and missiles have never harmed anyone in Palestine.
It's all a staged lie.
Would love to see the RAW of the (nice) winning photo. Heavily post processed, looks cartoon-like.
" The image was taken with an EOS 5D Mark III DSLR at a focal length of 16mm; the exposure was 1/800sec at f/5, ISO 400"
To start with, the lighting conditions must have been very different from what the final processed picture suggets.
Indeed, selective contrast and lighting in the faces (to make it more dramatic) changes of the color toning on the white cloth.Added vignetting (probable by burning and dodging a lot) in the corners.
The composition is very good.
I was wondering this myself. It says no flash, but something is filling their faces. Maybe light reflected off a window? Maybe an assistant with a reflector? Either way, I wouldn't want to be the photographer in front of that angry throng. And at 16mm, you gotta get in the thick of it to get that type of subject size.
Kudos to the photog either way! But it does make one curious how much post happens on press photos these days.
...and I can dump the full exif if anybody is realllly curious. Just say the word.
Cartoon-like??? Will love to see how YOUR photos stack up.
I was wandering the same thing as soon as I gazed on the picture, there is some serious photoshopping and filtering going on in there.
@photo nuts you are just a couple of clicks away, you can see my dpreview gallery. By the way i am an amateur, dont feel that you need to be a pro to judge a pro.
Politically correct xenophobic imagery wins again i see, rock on huh!
Here is a bit about the photographer and the photograph
surprise, surprise!!!
another image of dead child/children from a war torn area wins another 'Grand Prize'.
way to capture the "money shot" and thanks also so much for posting it front page. Very refreshing!!!!
We must remember that "World Press" images are not your everyday kind of mushy, comfortable, politically correct, wholesome, safe, humane, warm and cuddly fare.
The winners reflect the heart and soul (and bias) of the judges... whoever they are.
So if they are the same judges year after year... the images will be the same year after year.
The jury is international and consists indeed out of the same persons, at least for several years.
The jury selects always images of situations which are most in the news, or of events which has world wide impact. Unfortunately that are mostly catastrophes, wars and other misery at a grand scale.
The composition is very good, but I do not like the 'made' toning (added selective contrast and lighting) and the added vignetting.
Very good photos, but cranking local contrast makes them look like cartoon pictures, or like a screenshot of PS3 war game, rather than a real event, which distances me from the event being captured.
Congrats to the Winners! Beside knowing how to shoot, it is also of paramount importance to know what to submit.
Percentage-wise, we could all learn what gets the high marks in any contest by just looking at what defines today's news: if it isn't extreme or expensive or tragic (possibly all of the three combined), then it does not exist.
The photos are excellent even if the choice of subject may not be up to everyones taste (it does seem that pain and suffering is dominating this contest more than necessary).
But what staggers me a bit is the about of PP many of these photos have - takes them far from reality and actually diminishes the impact a less processed photo may have had.
I totally agree with you. I think all the photoshop in that winning photo really detracts from the impact...makes it feel more like a Nike commercial then a real life situation.
But who knows, perhaps, for a layperson without any technical knowledge or interest this has maximum impact?!
By the way, i thought there were rules about photo journos photoshopping?!
Some lash out against camera phones and instamatic, how is this better?
Don't get me wrong it's a good photo anyway and very in line with the recent winners and the photographer is certainly accomplished. I just don't know why news photos need that much processing.
Of course, in other instances such as Adnan Hajj we do know.
Decay of western civilization. Why am I not surprised the photo used for propaganda purposes won the World Press Photo of the Year?
I wouldn't call decay when someone, in sticking images, will remind us that behind politics, strategies and, yes, propaganda there is real pain and real innocent that die. No one with a son or daughter can avoid feeling the desperation of the first shot. If everybody could, someday, feel it before it happens, our civilization would be a better one (western or not).
Anyway, awesome photos.
Photo of the year? Really? The predictably morbid themes and processed looks of many of the photos seem...trite....
What a bizarre contest. Highly stylized, morally obvious/predictable reportage.
I agree, Digitall, when war starts to look like art or hdr...
Almost makes me long for something shot on an iPhone [ducks for cover]
grattis Paul
Congratulations Paul Hansen and DN, a daily news paper here in Sweden who focuses on good documentary photos .First the Picture of the Year and now this World Press Photo.
If propaganda equals good documentary, then two Josephs (Stalin and Goebbels) should have been sharing the Picture of the Year awards every year.
Leni Riefenstahl
Art, documentary or propaganda?
Or a combination of all three?
Frank Capra?
(Both of them awarded)
Too much PP for photojournalism pictures?
That's an interesting observation. Here in Sweden photojournalists tend to go further with their editing than what is common in the US and UK.
This I can agree on. Many of them look like overdone landscapes or model shots. It's like being a print journalist and insisting on using a flowery font for all your articles. Gets in the way of the story.
Yet again, award winning images of pain, suffering, dead children, death, blood... and penguins, among others. War makes money.
Little known fact was that the emperor penguins were at war with the empress penguins during the time those images were taken...
Wow, check out the DR on the Palestinian photo and the pixel sharpness on the cow race and emperor penguin photos. :D
Magnificent winners!
I'd love to see the RAW files ;)
Those are the shots that aren't taken while everyone argues pixel sharpness and dynamic range.
Excellent photos full of emotion.

Fantasie Lingerie No one knows your body as well as you.
Since 1920, Fantasie has specialized in the design and manufacture of bras and lingerie sized for the fuller cup. The company's aim has always been to offer a comprehensive wardrobe of bras for all occasions in a wide selection of styles.
Fantasie bras and co-ordinates include underwire bras, full cup bras, balcony bras, briefs, thongs, suspenders, balcony plunge bras, full cup soft bras, molded seamless cup bras, smoothing body shapers, basques, Brazilian briefs, panties and garters.
Fantasie was one of the first companies to recognize the needs of women with full busts who don't also fit the full-figure category. All of Fantasies products cater to a woman with a full cup size, but not necessarily a large back or band size. Fantasie creates beautiful lingerie that fits cup sizes ranging from B through K. Few lingerie manufacturers know how to make bras this size feel and look perfect like Fantasie. Their design goal is providing bras that bring out the best features of a full-busted woman's figure while making the bra look effortless in its support.
Fantasie Lingerie is made up of several collections many with women's fun first names such as Rhiannon, Evie, Anna and Belle. Some of their most popular include the Smoothing collection, which is seamless, and the Helena collection, which offers great seamed support.
The Elodi collection features a bra with elegant Austrian lace and tulle touches, matching panties and a satin cami and knickers. The underwire smoothing t-shirt bra style 4510 and its coordinates are fashion essentials for the full-figured woman. Quite simply the name says it all creating a smoothing shape underneath body-hugging outerwear. Another fabulous style within Fantasie Smoothing Collection is the 4520 seamless molded balcony bra, which is a customer favorite. Finally, the ever-popular Helena bras and panties provide delicate textures with French lace, while still giving the wearer complete and comfortable support.
Fantasie is one of a suite of brands by Wacoal Eveden. They are experts in designing and creating well-made underwear-- for both the full-figure women and those who wear large cup sizes--that are also beautiful and comfortable. In 2010, Wacoal Eveden added the brand Huit to its brands their first boutique-based lingerie line designed for the average-figured woman.
Fantasie swimwear is also now available for the larger-cupped woman. When you stop and think about it, who better than Fantasie to do this. All Fantasie swimwear is cup sized to not only flatter, but to perfectly fit their customers. Fantasie swimwear gives women the confidence they need, to know they will look and feel amazing on the beach or by a pool.
Fantasie designs lingerie fit for a queen. Fantasie intimate apparel is available at the world's finest department stores, and online at herroom.com.

Positive Experience
Difficult Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Ericsson-Worldwide.
Interview Details The interview process began with an in-person recruiting visit at my campus. They were very visible and very approachable. The representatives all did a great job of explaining the company and the opportunities. Basically, that was the start of the recruitment process, and my resume made it to the interview stage. I was to be interviewed on the phone and there was to be a final decision made after this interview. I was not selected due to scheduling issues regarding my availability for the internship start date. However, I was given another shot with another hiring manager, since the university relations people recognized my potential as a candidate. I was given the opportunity to visit the offices and interview with two other managers. The interview was tough, but pleasant. They did not ask questions meant to trick me or set me up to fail. Rather, their questions were carefully constructed to make sure I was the right person for the job.

Candy. Cake. From Zimbabwe. Given the name... and the fact that we needed a celebration recipe (this being the last recipe of our 'official' adventure to eat a dish from every country in the world)... well, I had to make it. That's not to say there weren't other choices for celebration food. I could have made sweet potato cake (spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg) or sliced mango with custard. But I was sold when I saw the shiny pink glaze on the mound of cakey bread. I would have … [Read more...]

3 Quick Recipes for Zimbabwean Pumpkin & Squash

These beautiful gourds are autumn. They represent breathless hikes to pick out the biggest, the gnarliest, the cutest in the bunch. But for all that, I can only look at so many pumpkin recipes … [Read more...]
Recipe: Mealie Bread with Blackened Chilies
If you ask my husband, there's always room for cornbread. And he'll eat twice as much cornbread if green chilies dot through the crumb. But what would he think if the cornbread came from half a world away? If it came from Zambia? As a former "Mr Picky" he says: Mealie Bread is a good way to bridge the gap for picky eaters to try something from another culture." The cornbread in Zambia is much like the cornbread in the USA - except it is made with fresh corn kernels instead of cornmeal. This … [Read more...]

"Leading a race does not mean that you will win it." Zambian Proverb It's a chilly, wintery, blustery sort of day. Even the trees shudder, their leaves falling down in chatterings. Thankfully, Zambia makes quick work of dissipating the cold, with this Spiced Tilapia Stew. Each bite pops with fresh lime juice, tomatoes, and Napa cabbage. A dusting of cumin, mustard seeds, fresh ginger and garlic give the broth depth. But it's the Thai Bird chilies that'll clear your sinuses. … [Read more...]
Recipe: Almond Stuffed Date Balls

Even as simple as they are, the flavor is amazing - as though from a much more complex recipe. There's a sweetness from the dates that transports me straight to Yemen... I mean, forget it.

Nước mắm pha is the quintessential Vietnamese dipping sauce, used on spring rolls, rice noodles, salads, and more. It's sweet, salty, and heavily spiced. A basic recipe includes freshly squeeze lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, and water. The real flavor comes from garlic and fresh red chilies.

3.31/5 rDev -13.8%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.25
Tap at Proof. Slightly hazy tan-orange with off white head, medium-thick collar. Aroma is really citrusy, I get some plenty of wheat-like grains, and some berry. Light in body, low carbonation. Thin mouthfeel, this beer fades quickly from my palate. Taste is pretty much exactly like the aroma.

Notes from 7/2012
A somewhat hazy pale yellow pour with a thin cap of white foam. Huge banana aroma with just a bit of lemon. Taste is similar, with a touch of bubblegum thrown in. Definitely light in flavor and body, even for the style, which was intentional from what I understand after talking with the brewers. A slight tartness as well, but pretty refreshing overall.

Taste is strong on the malt and banana, light on clove.
Smooth, a little heavier than expected, medium+. Very drinkable and refreshing.

First had: on tap at Funky Buddha, Boca Raton, FL
I really have to be in the mood for a straight-up hefeweizen, and my rating might reflect that, but this was a good example of the style overall. Cloudy, pale, bronzed yellow pour, with a small foamy white head; moderate retention and lacing. Aroma typical of the style: wheat, banana esters, clove. Big taste of banana, bready malts and yeast, spicy clove, hints of citrus zest, honey and herbal hops. Medium body, soft carbonation, basic, very good for the style.

Served on tap in a shaker pint glass
A - Slightly hazy pale wheat with 1 finger white head with good retention and moderate lacing
S - Wheat, banana ester, honey.
T - Nice strong wheat backbone with moderate-high banana esters, sweet honey, touch of orange, very refreshing.
M - Light body, moderate carbonation, crisp.
O - Great lawnmower bear, more banana in my hefe than I life, but overall though it had a lot of flair.
On a side note this is beer review number 200 for me on BA. Woot!

On-tap, served in a tulip
A soft orange, dark straw color with a fluffy white cap. Some small lacing on the sides with a thin collar around the edges. A bug punch of bubble gum leaps out of the glass. Banana and clove with some sweet honey and lemon peel underneath. This slides softly onto the palate, then comes that big bubble gum flavor. As it recedes, spicy clove, banana, and lemons lead you to a clean, slightly sweet finish. Dry finish, carbonation is really on point. The feel is full and lush. Excellent feel. This is a nice hefe if you don't mind the big bubble gum presence. I for one didn't mind it at first, but it became a little annoying by the end of the glass.

Big thanks to Florida9 for sharing this bottle!
We've reached a new level of ghetto-ness with this label: a simple mini-Post It note! Classic! This stuff pours a lightly hazy straw topped by a finger of lightly off-white foam. The nose comprises heavy banana, light orange peel, and light clove. The banana is so strong that I think I get a touch of vanilla in there, too. The taste holds notes of orange peel, clove, wheat, light grass, and light banana peel. I was so hoping the banana would follow onto to the tongue... The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a generally smooth feel. Overall, a pretty solid hefe, but one that doesn't stand out all too much from the rest of the field. Now, had that banana character been a bit more assertive in my mouth, who knows?

Unfortunately for a lot of mediocre brewers in the world, the hefeweizen bar has been set very high by Live Oak and East End. Fortunately, and apparently, The Funky Buddha is not a mediocre brewery. What we've got here is a very soft orange toned hefeweizen that's extremely refreshing. The citrus is the most dominant feature and there really isn't a noticeable level of spice, and it all leads into an orange creamsicle kind of thing. Extremely easy to drink, but the strong orange tones and creamsicle characteristics might wear on you after a few; or just turn people off in general. I can see people going either way with their opinion, really.
This is the last beer I was able to try from this brewery and it's a good way to end things.

From tap to taster glass at the Funky Buddha Lounge on 6/2/12
*From notes
A: Whipped cloudy lemon in hue. A white quarter finger head tops the beer. Nice, sticky lacing and moderate collar follow.
S: Pretty low key. Not a lot going on here. Hints of banana, yet not a lot of clove, herb, yeast or much of anything else.
T: Fresh lime and tart lemon-like acid hit the palate first. The mid showcases a bit of banana mash. The finish isn't overly expressive.
M: Quite bubbly yet extraordinarily creamy. This is extremely smooth and luxurious. Easily the highlight of the beer.
O: A decent if not slightly underwhelming Hefe. It doesn't really pack the kind of punch one would excpect from a beer like this, though I'll say this is easy enough to drink. Middle of the road for not only the style, but for the FB as well.

This one is tough. I can't help but to feel I'm being over critical of the Funky Buhhda image, and that I probably look like I'm hating on hype. Oh well. My other funky buddha reviews will be much less critical than this one.
My least favorite Funky Buddha offering, and I generally really appreciate Hefes. Bananas all the way from aroma to finish. It's really overwhelming, almost like eatiing banana runts. Remember those? What I appreciate about FB is that they can take a taste sensation and turn it into a spot on beer. And though I didn't know it when ordering, I really didn't want to revisit my youth through runts candy. Beyond that dominant aspect--which resulted in a uni-dimensional flavor--the finish was extremely short. I appreciate hefe's, just not this one.

On-tap at Hunahpu's Day 2012 and poured into tasting glass.
A - Pours bright sunny yellow, white head, spotty lace.
S - Bananas, light malts, wheat, yeast funk, and light spice. Very solid Hefe, we have here. Not too sweet and not too spicy, just right for me.
T - Honey, light cloves, malts, bananas, funk, and light spice. A little sweeter on the nose and I get a little honey note, which is enjoyable. Finish is sweet honey and malts with some banana.
M - Light body, good carbonation, refreshing, clean finish.
O - An enjoyable Hefe that I had a few pours of on a mid-80's March day at Hunahpu's Day 2012. This will make for an excellent beer to enjoy multiple pours of during the summer months.

On tap at the FBL. Pours a hazy straw with thick head. Great wheaty banana aroma.
This brew was very unique. Wheat hefe flavor with real banana aftertaste. I always read about this banana taste but never actually tasted it. This really tastes of banana, there is no mistaking it. But it works. Its refreshing and well balanced with the style. Very unique so deff taste if you have the opportunity.

Notes from May. 12oz counter-pressure hand bottle shared by Drazzamatazz
A: Darker yellow, very cloudy (my pour was with yeast). There were some floaties. 1/2 finger fluffy white head, some of which stuck around at the top of the glass
S: Mmm... smelled with banana bread with lemon zest. Lots of banana, so nice. Some yeast and peppery spice
T: Banana and peppery spice, but not quite as much as the nose. I will note that my last sip was all banana though, so it at least ended as the nose would indicate. Some tart citrus (squeezed lemon)
M: Initially the carbonation was too high, but ultimately it settles down and smooths out. Full bodied
D: A very well done hefeweizen. Seems like a great beer for warm summer day. Recommended

Poured from a 32 oz. growler into a tulip.
Appearance: My pour is a hazy straw color with a bubbly off-white head. Not much retention or lace, but I expect that out of a growler.
Smell: Less sweet than I would expect out of a Hefe. Some honey, banana, and light malt notes. A little white grape skin and green apple, maybe from another yeast strain?
Taste: The flavor is soft, nuanced, and balanced. There is a soft pale malt front with some honey, banana, and clove, but a white grape and green apple adds some tartness toward the end.
Mouthfeel: This is light and dry compared to the normal example of the style. It feels like they have added a yeast to dry it out further than usual. The carbonation is crisp and contributes to the dryness.
Overall: I enjoyed this take on the style. Balanced and a little different.

very hazy golden amber color was evident right away. A nice solid layer of white foam, maybe to a half an inch came up over the top, but then settled down far too qucikly, leaving behind nothing more then a slight layer of film across the top,
The aroma was good, very nice for the style, with a good sense of wheat, hints of banana and clove and a slight touches of an almost peach like smell. More solid in through the taste. Rolls across the tongue with a good amount of banana and peach flavors, hints of a light grass flavor and light grains then ruling the day on this one

3.48/5 rDev -9.4%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Appearance: Arrive with a pale straw color; the cap was not huge but it retained well overall and left some lacing behind
Smell: While there is some wheat bread and banana, I also pick up some citrus and vanilla
Taste: The wheat bread and banana show up in the front but by mid-palate, the beer moves in an unexpected direction, with the citrus and vanilla character that adds a vague key lime dimension; some sweetness from the honey in the finish, as well
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body but the carbonation was low for the style and lacked a smooth mouthfeel
Overall: An interesting take that merges a variety of styles, but I wasn't enamored with it, particularly the additions of the vanilla and honey; I'll bump up the score a bit for the creativity, however

Had this yesterday at the brewpub. Review from notes. Received in a hefe glass.
3.5 A: Dark hazed yellow color. One quarter inch white, frothy head.
4.0 S: Clove heavy. Banana underneath with a good spiciness overall. Neutral wheat. Pleasant.
4.0 T: More banana than clove in the taste. Good spiciness with neutral wheat. Light yeastiness and clean overall.
3.5 M: Medium body. Good carbonation for the style. Reasonably creamy.

Growler poured into my CCB tulip.
A: Clear, yellowish orange color. An aggressive pour dropped a finger of pure white head that faded to a thin collar and left no lace.
A: Sweet bannana, small clove, citrus, and vanilla. Maybe some notes of pineapple, but really the aroma is dominated by the candied bannana.
T: Again more of the sweet bannana and vanilla notes. I was hoping for a bit more bite from clove and other spices, but instead I was met with an overly sweet beer. Finishes slightly dry and yes, sweet.
M: Lower on the carbonation, and for the style that is not a good thing. Rather oily and slick, when it should be sharp.
O: I was a little let down by this. I was hoping for a traditional Hefe, but got a sweet and citrusy take on the style. The nose was there, and the taste is good, just not to style. Nice to drink on a hot summer afternoon though. Skal.

Thanks to dimenhetfield for sharing.
A - Hazy orangish/yellowish body with a bit of a white head that left some decent spots and lace on the sides.
S - Little bit of clove and banana, but this is somewhat citrus forward with orange and touches of honey.
T - Vanilla, candied banana, small clove, citrus, this is actually pretty nice, light and easy to get down.
M - Medium bodied with medium carbonation.
O - I like this beer quite a bit, particularly for the style. Another solid offering by Funky Buddha

Thanks to dimenhetfield for yet another Funky Buddha offering. Served in a Russian River tulip.
A - Ample white foam settles to a thick collar, with minimal lacing left behind. Hazy white peach flesh body.
S - Orange peel, honey, light unmalted wheat, some vanilla sweetness. Doesn't really have that distinct weizen yeast aroma, seems like more of a witbier in some ways.
T - Some lemon citrus notes, pale malt sweetness. Not much toasted grain character, but a hefty dose of banana and vanilla.
M - Medium in body, slightly starchy texture, medium carbonation. Ends pretty crisp and refreshing.
D - Feels like more a witbier than a hefeweizen in a lot of ways, but a solid and refreshing offering. Not sure I'd have this often if I were at Funky Buddha, seeing as most of their other offerings are superior (and similar in ABV), but if you're into beers made with wheat this is a solid offering.

Nothing like bringing a good growler of beer home from your local brewery. I'm not usually a big hefe fan, but the floridian hefe is by far my fave hefe. Wonderful citrus smell and hazy yellow/orange hue to this beer. Not lemony at all which i seem to equate with most hefe's i've had in the past. Gotta love the buddha!

Poured from a growler into a standard pint glass.
Appearance: Pours an almost clear golden color with two fingers of fluffy off white head that goes away completely.
Smell: Sweet and fruity with hints of banana and some bubble gum. There is also a hint of spice from the yeast.
Taste: Follows from the smell. Not quite as sweet, but there isn't any real bitterness. Hints of spice, banana, and bubble gum. Some sweetness from the malt.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with mild tingly carbonation. The finish to this beer is as dry as any beer I've ever had.
Overall: I really like this beer, one of the better American Hefes that I've ever had. The carbonation is a touch low, but not really a big problem.

MANILA, Philippines – The World Bank says many developing countries have been hurt by a wave of effects from Europe's debt crisis and there is need to put in place programs to cushion their impact on the poor.
The bank's president, Robert Zoellick, told reporters Wednesday that in many developing countries, stock markets have gone down, bond spreads have gone up and exports have dropped since August. He says exports have slowed even in the Philippines, whose economy has been growing well.
Zoellick made the comments during a visit to a slum community in metropolitan Manila's Pasay city, where he talked to beneficiaries of an anti-poverty program supported by the World Bank. He will meet Thursday with President Benigno Aquino III to discuss government reforms to fight corruption and poverty.
He said he will also take up with Aquino other issues that will secure growth for the future, including the country's infrastructure needs, creating better jobs, and preparedness to deal with natural disasters. Asia bounced back relatively quickly from the last global recession that was sparked by the 2008 financial crisis, helped in part by China's massive stimulus spending.
But some economists say the region is not as well placed to respond to a new slowdown because inflation is high and a lot of fiscal ammunition has already been spent fighting the last crisis.
Zoellick said the Conditional Cash Transfer Program, which gives up to 1,400 pesos ($32) a month to poor families on condition their children regularly go to school and get health checkups, "is how you protect people, whatever the source of difficulty that occurs."
The program was introduced in the Philippines in 2007 after its success in other countries like Mexico and Brazil. It was expanded in March 2008 to respond to the food and fuel price shocks and global financial crisis. The government said the program has covered some 2.2 million poor households across the country out of 5.2 million poor families that qualify.

Ryan Ferns, a Democrat representing Ohio County in the West Virginia House of Delegates, did something Tuesday that would have been considered shocking just a few years ago. He voted for a Republican, Delegate Tim Armstead of Kanawha County, for speaker of the House.
Ferns was the only Democrat not to vote for his party's candidate, Delegate Tim Miley of Harrison County. Miley won the speakership.
In a "tweet" sent from the House chamber, Ferns explained his vote. "West Virginia first. Party second," he said.
That will make Ferns exceedingly unpopular among many of the Democrats who still control the House. And his vote was symbolic; Ferns had to have known Miley would win.
What Ferns did took courage - yet it also demonstrated leadership. For West Virginia to move forward, Democrats and Republicans will have to work together. For taking a step in that direction - voting for bipartisanship instead of merely talking about it - Ferns is to be commended.

- Dehydration can be a problem in pets with respiratory infection due to loss of moisture from the mucus membranes as well as decreased intake of food and fluids. Encourage your pet to eat and drink by offering strong-smelling foods or even administering water to them with the help of a syringe if necessary.
- Keeps your pet's immune system functioning optimally to prevent all types of infection and disease. Help to boost your pet's immune system holistically through a healthy lifestyle involving regular exercise, balanced diet and our Liver and Immunity Support.
