Three Foam Manufacturers Plead Guilty in Price Fixing Scheme
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Companies Agree to Pay a Total of $6.1 Million in Criminal Fines
Three manufacturers of polyurethane foam used to create interior components for automobiles pleaded guilty today to participating in a scheme to fix prices to customers, the Department of Justice announced.
Riverside Seat Co., Woodbridge Foam Fabricating Inc. and SW Foam LLC pleaded guilty to a
one-count felony charge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York in Brooklyn. According to the charge, the companies conspired with others to fix prices for polyurethane flexible slab stock automotive foam in the U.S. and elsewhere from at least as early as June 9, 2008 until at least April 20, 2009. The companies have agreed to pay a total of $6,148,800 in criminal fines and to cooperate with the department's ongoing investigation.
"Today's charges demonstrate the Antitrust Division's commitment to holding companies accountable for conspiracies that affect components used in products that consumers rely on every day," said Bill Baer, Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division. "The Antitrust Division will vigorously prosecute companies that engage in price-fixing schemes that subvert normal competitive processes and defraud American consumers and businesses."
Riverside Seat, Woodbridge, and SW Foam manufactured polyurethane flexible slab stock automotive foam – a low-density, slab stock, flexible foam used as a component of automotive interior parts, including seats, headliners, headrests, door panels and armrests. Polyurethane flexible slab stock automotive foam includes only the foam itself and does not include any automotive parts in which such foam may be a component.
According to the charge, the companies and their co-conspirators discussed polyurethane foam prices and agreed to coordinate the timing and amount of price increases to customers. The companies carried out the agreement and exchanged information for the purpose of monitoring and enforcing adherence to the agreement.
The three manufacturers are charged with price fixing in violation of the Sherman Act, which carries maximum penalties of a $100 million criminal fine for corporations. The maximum fine may be increased to twice the gain derived from the crime or twice the loss suffered by the victims of the crime, if either of those amounts is greater than the statutory maximum fine.
Today's pleas are the result of an ongoing federal antitrust investigation being handled by the Antitrust Division's New York Office, with assistance from the Cleveland Field Office of the FBI and the New York Field Office of the FBI. Anyone with information concerning price fixing or other anticompetitive conduct in the polyurethane foam industry should contact the Antitrust Division's Citizen Complaint Center at 1-888-647-3258 or visit

Laura Wells, CA Green for Governor, to spend Election Day in court
The Sacramento Bee reports on California Green Party gubernatorial candidate Laura Wells:
For most candidates, Election Day consists of attending last-minute rallies, posing for photo ops as they cast their ballot and waiting for the returns to come in. Not Laura Wells. The Green Party nominee for governor will spend the big day in court.
Wells was arrested Oct. 12 on a misdemeanor trespassing charge outside the debate between Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman at San Rafael's Dominican University. Wells, who was not invited to participate in the debate, says she had a ticket to watch the event live at the time of her arrest, but it was rejected. Read the rest of this entry »

PLAYERS: Dany Heatley, Martin Havlat, Justin Fontaine
TEAMS: Minnesota Wild, San Jose Sharks
TEAMS: Minnesota Wild, San Jose Sharks
For the first time in his career Saturday, Dany Heatley was a healthy scratch for the Minnesota Wild as they played Phoenix, in what quite possibly was the biggest regular season game for the Wild to this point.Being demoted to the fourth line this season, Heater hasn't done much for the Wild, but I still will say the trade to San Jose to get him was one worth while. It got rid of a Martin Havlat who really didn't do much of anything for the Minnesota Wild.However, is the offensive fuel for Dany Heatley running on empty? I think these past two games have shown that. His veteran presence in the locker room is probably one that is well liked, but his lack of production on the ice is one I think the fans won't miss.Maybe Heatley was the thorn in the side as of late, keeping guys like former UMD Bulldog Justin Fontaine off the ice and I'm sure many will agree to this, and because of this, I don't see Heater getting much, if any, playing time until the playoffs, if he even gets any there.

Miley Cyrus can't stop, and she won't stop, and (let's be honest) why should she? Before the controversial singer embarks on her 38-city tour promoting her #1 album "Bangerz," she will appear in her own "MTV Unplugged" special. Not sure how to feel about it yet, but the poster is promising.
Over the past 25 years "Unplugged" has been the source of many iconic musical performances, showcasing super-star artists like Nirvana, Jay-Z, and Bob Dylan. By following in the footsteps of these musical greats, it has been said that "Miley's vision for the performance is like nothing we've ever seen," and that we can expect it to easily be one of the most memorable "Unplugged" performances to date. Well, duh, since the singer has only recently became relevant as not-Hannah Montana with her "ratchet" and explicit shock-value tactics that are terribly uncomfortable, and apparently hard not to watch. But hopefully this show will offer more talent and depth, and less cultural appropriation.
It's not a shock that Miley is stripping - down to acoustics for the show and, in the advertising poster, right down to star-shaped nipple pasties, balanced nicely by a set of crooked false teeth and a blond bobbed wig. I can dig it.
Catch the "Unplugged" special live on Wednesday, January 29, and check in with us post-show for some blog responses!

collecting names of the lovers that went wrong.
- daughter, "youth"
i may be in a quiet, introspective, slightly sad mood right now — but i also just really love this song.
i'm starting to wonder if the reason i don't have a guy in my life is because i never saw a guy in my life.
most of what i was interested in when i was younger has manifested itself into my adult life in some way. i always loved reading and writing when i was a kid, and my favorite class was always english (or "language arts", as it was called in elementary and junior high school). i always loved words. i always loved putting words together. i would read the dictionary for fun.
the only thing i loved more than writing was fashion. it interested me even before i knew it was a thing you could be interested in. like most little girls, i begged my mom to let me dress myself, and relished the time i would spend picking out my clothes and pairing like things together. the older i got, the more obsessed i became. if i spent half as much time in high school focusing on my schoolwork as i did worrying about what i was going to wear that day, i probably could have been valedictorian. i'm blessed to be able to have a job that combines my two biggest loves.
something i never saw for myself, however, was a dude. i wasn't one of those little girls that dreamt of finding a husband, getting married, or having a huge wedding — and when i hear women say "i've been dreaming about this day since i was a little girl", it makes me shudder a bit. while those girls were probably fantasizing about what their bouquets would look like or which song they would walk down the aisle to, i was furiously typing on my word processor, working on my "novel". not like one is better than the other. i'm just saying.
i never dreamt about getting married. i dreamt about making fantastic friends, having a great job, a nice place to live, and more importantly, being able to support myself. i dreamt of living in a big city and coming and going as i pleased, wearing cute clothes and traveling a lot. and now, at almost 26, i can say that i'm doing it (well, some of it). but i'm starting to think that the things i didn't dream about aren't going to happen, for that exact reason.
full disclosure: i've been in a total of one (1) serious relationship in my life. i rarely date. guys that i want to approach me never do, and i get nervous to put myself out there because i have a hard time with rejection. i don't walk around pitying myself, but i do sometimes feel like i might die alone because i value my job and apartment and friends more than a relationship. it's how i've always been, and that scares me.
i never, ever had a ken doll. oh, i had a million barbies; i had barbie's sisters skipper and midge and baby staci, and all of her forced multicultural friends. but never ken. i couldn't be bothered. if my mom told me i could pick out one thing at the store, i chose barbie. or a set of clothes for barbie. i chose barbie's car, or shit for her apartment, and once i chose the barbie mcdonald's thing so she could have somewhere to work. but never ken! no time, who cares? he was only going to slow her down and distract her from making something of herself.
whenever i thought about having kids of my own, there was never a guy in the picture. SINCE FOREVER. sometimes i have dreams that i'm pregnant or that i have a kid, and i'm always by myself. dark much? as much as i hope to get married and have kids one day, it seems as if my subconscious is telling me that i should probably start researching adoption agencies and/or sperm banks (not that there's anything wrong with that). my point is, i'm starting to get stressed out — if i never saw myself having something, does that mean i'll never have it?
it's been almost a year since i've moved to san francisco, and i've been extremely lucky to have found some amazing friends — but i'm always looking for more. here are some things you should know about me, should you want to be buds:
1. i'll probably try way too hard to be your friend. at almost 26 years young, i've found myself trying entirely too hard to be friends with people, only to be shut down. "oh, that's cute, but i've got enough friends. my friend quota has been met this year, maybe in 2012, thanks girl!" — and to make matters worse, i actually care! i've walked home from work being sad that nobody invited me to lunch, or found myself near tears upon receiving a text that someone didn't want to get drinks with me. wake up, fool! you're a grown woman, calm the fuck down.
2. i'll probably not try hard enough to be your friend. maybe it's because i'm a libra, maybe it's because i'm a hot mess; who knows. truth is, sometimes i shut down and get very introspective and i don't want to be around people/think it's better that people not be around me. i'll probably turn down some of your invites to hang out (this is totally hypocritical of #1, i know, ugh #ihatemyselfsometimes) but i promise i'll make it up to you. for every invitation i turn down, i'll show up at your apartment with a bottle of wine and a "sorry i'm cuckoo" card.
3. i have a bad case of the bitchface. i've said it before and i'll say it again; i'm a lot happier than i look! i love my life (90% of the time)! if i'm walking down the street or sitting at my desk or you catch me in the ladies' room, okay yes, i probably don't look very happy but i swear i am! i'm aware of my bitchface, and i'm working on it. please don't let that deter you from being my friend. and if you suffer from chronic bitchface too, all the better! we can go get a drink and scare people off together.
4. my nail polish is always chipped. fucking always, and not by choice or anything. maybe it's because i use cheap nail polish, maybe it's my iron deficiency, i don't know. but i can guarantee you that even a day after getting even the most professional of manicures, my nail polish will be chipped, and if that bothers you, we probably shouldn't be friends.
5. i'll be totally honest with you. if you haven't figured it out by now, i'm a pretty truthful person. i don't mince words, but i'm also super objective. if you ask me if i like your new top/earring/bag/shoes, and they're totally not my thing and i would never wear them, but i know that they're amazing for you and your style and they look great on you, i will tell you. just because something isn't for me, doesn't mean it can't be fabulous for someone else, and vice versa! so let's go shopping, girl (at H&M or zara or maybe the barneys warehouse sale, i don't have that neimans ca$h yet)!

so this week may have been one of the best weeks of my life, musically and professionally.
first, watch the throne was released, which was a gift in itself. some really amazing things happened at work, and i'm super excited for new experiences and new relationships. as if i wasn't jazzed enough about it being friday, my coworker/new pal molly surprised me by creating a blog of our collected conversations about hip-hop (namely jay-z, kanye, lil wayne, and drake). it was the nicest thing ever. i shed a little tattooed tear.
so in response to my post title (a line from "otis"), i think that if hova were in my position, he would kick back, have a glass of vino, enjoy the moment, and catch up on his google reader. JK probs not, but that's what i'm doing anyway.

Went to a beer dinner tonight and had the opportunity to try some of their beers. I doubt you can get it in many places, but they have some awesome brews.
I had 5 total:
Liquid Gold - Belgian Pale
Brown Bird Brown Ale - English Brown Ale
Nor' Easter Winter Warmer - Belgian Specialty Ale
Captain's Reserve - Imperial IPA
Espresso Stout - American Stout
All of the beers were good, but I thought the Nor' Easter Winter Warmer and Captain's Reserve were great.
The Nor' Easter was truly a unique beer and was aged in Bourbon barrels which gave it an awesome coconut and vanilla flavor. Really very awesome and one of the most complex beers I have had.
The Captain's Reserve was a great American Imperial IPA. I would put this beer right up there with Stone's Ruination IPA. Just killer in the simple ingredients with perfect execution. They said it was 91 IBUs and it was balanced great with the malt. Really a very nice IIPA.
So if you have a change I would give Captain Lawrence brews a try if you get an opportunity. My guess is you will have to be in the Tri-State area as the brewery is in Pleasantville, NY and just got started in 2006. The guy who started it started out as a home brewer and then switched majors and did the Fermentation program and UC Davis. Worked at Sierra Nevada and a few other breweries before starting his own. Good story and good beer! Captain Lawrence Brewing Company if you care to check out the site.

Preseason Stock Exchange (Week 1)
It's time to look at which Falcon players have improved their stock and those that have not after the first preseason outing. This is mostly looking at who shined and who did not against the Ravens.
Stock Up
QB Dominique Davis – Davis benefited greatly from the lackluster night by both Chris Redman and John Parker Wilson. Besides Wilson running an effective 2-minute drill at the end of the half, both veteran passers looked very rusty against the Ravens. Davis showed some athleticism, using his legs to extend plays and also showed off his strong arm with some shots downfield. Davis still needs to polish up his footwork, mechanics, and tighten up his accuracy, but if he can build off last week's performance against the Bengals, he will be in prime position to potentially earn a roster spot.
WR DJ. Davis – The No. 5 wide receiver spot will almost certainly be determined by special teams ability. And Davis stood out against the Ravens, particularly with his excellent open field stop when working as a gunner on a punt returner, tripping up Bobby Rainey in the 3rd quarter to cause a 1-yard loss on a Dawson Zimmerman punt. Kevin Cone looked to have the inside track at the spot, but Davis is making up ground.
OL Peter Konz – Konz had his moments when working at right guard with the second team offensive line, showing ability to get some push. He missed a block while pulling inside on a play, but then helped make up for with a good block downfield when he pulled outside on the next play. Konz had some struggles when he moved to center for the third unit. But if he's going to make up ground against Garrett Reynolds for the starting right guard spot, he got off to a solid start.

Grey Goose: Classic Courses in America
Steve Sands, Geoff Shackelford, John Feinstein and David Fay express which golf courses they think the PGA Tour should be taking advantage of in 2014 and which courses around the nation should be renovated.Merion and David Fay had such a huge part in getting the US Open in play at that storied venue outside of Philadelphia so Jeff you're a golf course design god, there's the Country Club, [unk] set on Long Island, you're one of those guys who loves seeing big championships, gohits, they have memories of you know, Merion, Ben Hogan, you know, Justin Rose's shot on 18… -What will come up in-in future years. So I think that the national is such a great golf course . I mean-I, do you think a US open could be held there? -No. -I mean logistically to could, you know, in Shinnecock. -Of course. -You don't think it's too short. -He's not talking to us. -Its just too short. -Yeah. But you what it-it there, but I think was great thing they took the Walker Cup there and the more you do that, the better it is for the game. -Now, you also thought Merion was a little bit too short as well. So national could be able to host the US open ? -Well yeah but then you got that next door neighbor called Shinnecock. That is some [unk]. -Well and you got shackles preferably whining about, you know, the setup, complete funky stuff like that. -The question for you David is because of the position you have for so many years as the executive director of the USGA. How delicate is the balance between the Bethpage Black, the chambers based of the world and going back to the iconic places where the US Open is held? -Well I think the USGA has the right balance now, but I would add one more classic that I'd like to see. The US Open played on, never had it, well it did have one, they're in the 1900 Chicago Golf Club. I think that is an outstanding golf course . -It would be much like Shinnecock or people before 1986 and what is shinnecock Hills. They did not know about it. I think if you and plus its in Chicago part of the country where… -And you need a course in the US. -You need a course in the in Midwest. -So you pick Chicago golf club is the place where you'd like to see. -A US Open . -A place to go back in US Open . What are some of the courses you might [unk] -Well i-I got one that did-did a sort of comes out or left field. Bethpage Red which I think is a great golf course , does not get any attention coz its right next to the black. You know people, when you go to Bethpage, you wanna play the Black… -When it need fixing up, the Black. -USGA put 5 million bucks into it like it did in to the Black. You could-I think you could play US Open . -I don't think that will be a problem for them now. -No, the fact they got [unk]. -Yeah unfortunately, Jeff how about

Tour guide was excellent and certainly knew both the book and history of Rome inside out. Would definitely recommend.
Absolutely brilliant! Guide Massimo was enthusiastic and excitable, an air-conditioned coach drops you at the door of most of the stops, you get an inclusive drink at a gorgeous café and the sites themselves were incredible. I had to read the book again immediately now I had seen the places for real.
Maximo was an excellent guide and the tour was fascinating.
Very entertaining and informative. A must for the Dan Brown faithful.
An amazing tour and a great way to visit Rome . A very different kind of tour with an excelent guide . He was vety knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the book , but also about Rome history in general .
Highly reccomended!
United Kingdom
Very informative and good pace, guide Manuela was excellent.
Very well organised. The tour guide was very friendly and provided us with a lot of information.
Fantastic tour guide, great way to see Rome and places you probably wouldn't have thought of visiting, loved the debunking!
An excellant tour with a very good tour guide. Our guide made the experience for us. He was welcoming and friendly and although it was a small group but he made sure everyone could all hear what he was saying. He was fun, had a good sense of humour and was very knowledgeable about the subject and spoke with enthusiasm about it.
My partner, who is the Dan Brown fan, pursuaded me to go on this tour but I was extremely pleased she had done so by the end of the tour.
Thank you
Awesome, our guide was very knowledgeable"
A very enjoyable tour where we travelled around in a coach so we did not walk much. Our guide Alessandro was entertaining and knowledgeable.
It was an excellent tour. Our tour guide, Maximo, was brilliant. 2 thumbs up!
The tour was great! Barbara is an amazing guide. A must-do for fans of the book or the movie.
guide was first class and the tour was excellent
Wow .. the tour was both informative and lively, with good historical background plus plenty of context to the novel Angels and Demons by Dan Brown. Our tour guides Louisa and Mike answered all questions with authority and interest.


text: Investing.com - China at the weekend said it is concerned about Federal Reserve timing in increasing interest rates, noting any move to do so after the prolonged period of easy policy will have a "significant impact" on the U.S. and world economies. China''s Vice-Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao said his government needs to know more after U.S. Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen last week discussed the timing of a rate hike as early as 2015."The basic judgement, if there is no big accident, is that within six months after the Fed fully exits from its unconventional monetary policies, the Federal Reserve Bank will launch the process of raising interest rates and that will have a significant impact on the United States and the world economy as well," Zhu said at the China Development Forum.Yellen defined a "considerable time" after the end of quantitative easing that rates would stay at zero as probably meaning "something on the order of around six months, that type of thing."China has repeatedly called on the Federal Reserve to monitor the impact of its policy-making on the global economy.

Q:Which back drop would be better for pictures to be taken in front of the vinyl or cardboard or the others with this particular backdrop?
1 answer
A:It is all personal preference and size. The vinyl will have a shine to it and comes in many more sizes versus the cardboard background with a flatter color appearance.
Q:Do you have any photos you can send me of it personalized
1 answer
A:The Red Feather/gold Mask Background Illustration can be personalized.
Q:Can I order this board with the picture vertical instead of horizontal? We want people to stand in front of it for pictures.
2 answers
A:I'm sorry but this Red Feather/Gold Masks Backdrop is only available horizontally. We cannot custom make this backdrop vertically due to the way these masks are already laid out.
A:Vertical view wouldn't work. It' so large horizontal that kids can stand in front of it for a pictures
Q:How would I hang this in a hotel room
1 answer
A:If you are wanting to purchase the photo real board you could prop it up, however if using the vinyl backdrop you would need to use sticky tack to adhere to a wall without damage or use string or rope to loop through the grommets to hang.

Dolly Parton Heading to Europe on 2014 Blue Smoke World Tour
Europe is going country next year! The one and only Dolly Parton will pack up and heading across the pond on her Blue Smoke World Tour in 2014.
Europe is going country next year! The one and only Dolly Parton will pack up and heading across the pond on her Blue Smoke World Tour in 2014.
Yesterday I shared the video of Dolly Parton rapping on the Queen Latifah show. She was on the show to announe that she would be entertaining fans down under in Australia with her "Blue Smoke World Tour". She boasts new and exciting things to come. However, the excitement she experienced yesterday landed her in the Emergency Room.
You have to appreciate diversity and that's exactly what you get with Dolly Parton and her appearance on the Queen Latifah show. Her signature big blonde mane looks like my 80's hair and she rocks the tight black and gold outfit with her bod! While she does a fantastic job with the new genre of music, I think she's gettin' all hip-hoppy with excitement for her upcoming new tour.
It was back in 1983 when Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton teamed up for "Islands In The Stream." Now 30 years later, we will hear a new duet off of Kenny's upcoming album.
Kenny Rogers has been a country music mainstay for a few decades now, but the 'I Can't Unlove You' hitmaker isn't done yet.
While Billy Ray Cyrus may not be a huge fan of his daughter Miley's latest punk rocker style decisions, this performance is something I'm sure papa bear is proud of.
Dolly Parton may be making her media rounds in support of her new book, 'Dream More: Celebrating the Dreamer in You,' but the country icon herself is the one making unlikely dreams come true for others.
If you listen to several genres of music, you may know singer-songwriter and rapper, Ke$sha. You then know by her choice of lyrics, dress and music, it would be highly unlikely that she would choose a Dolly Parton song to cover. But, Dolly's "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You" is near and dear to Ke$sha, here's why.
Dolly Parton is one of the most important singer-songwriters in the country genre, as well as one of the best-selling female artists of all time. That success has come at the price of having her personal life subjected to all manner of tabloid scrutiny, and in an interview to promote her new memoir 'Dream More,' the legendary songbird opened up about her career, plastic surgery procedures, and love life -- including the often-repeated rumor that she is secretly gay.
Dolly Parton has such a sassy sense of humor, she's even open to whole-heartedly accepting the fact that she picked up a "trashy" costume for Halloween. Everyone's favorite country superstar played along with pushy TMZ interviewers recently as they prodded her about her purchase.
Dolly Parton is used to having many things named after her -- like her theme park, Dollywood. But now, the country music is being made into a new slot machine in partnership with International Game Technology (IGT).
It's hard to believe that Dolly Parton experienced a first in her career last week, so deep into the legendary singer's success in country music. Friday morning (Aug. 10), Parton's label — Dolly Records — earned its first gold-selling album for her Cracker Barrel double-disc, 'An Evening With … Dolly.' In addition to it being the first big-selling album for her record label, it was also the first gold-selling project for Cracker Barrel.

Marvin Gaye's ex-wife not happy about biopic, playMarch 18, 2013 // 0 Comments
by Mariah Craddick
Seems like no one in the Gaye family is on board with this upcoming Marvin Gaye film Sexual Healing (directed by Julie Temple). While the late singer's sister Zeola Gaye already expressed her distaste for the film (but is backing the theatrical production, My Brother Marvin), his ex-wife Janis Gaye isn't impressed with the film or the play.
"I don't think Marvin is a very happy spirit right now," she told the New York Daily News. "This is the last thing he would want to have happen."
The play, which is based on Zeola's book of the same name, supposedly presents Janis in a negative light which particularly bothered her.
"Some of the characterizations, like saying Marvin's father killing him was a 'mercy killing,' you can only imagine how that makes the kids feel," she said. "It makes me feel bad enough."
She also told the NY Daily that she was happy that Lenny Kravitz, who was originally cast for the role of Marvin, stepped down.
"Ultimately, I think it was Lenny's heart and soul and conscience that caused him to step away."
Broadway veteran Jesse L. Martin was cast in his place.

Tobias Wolff's memoir of his sometimes adventurous, often difficult childhood is, by turns, gritty, tender and nostalgic. The tough time growing up memoir has become something of a cliche, but this is one of the best examples, reading like a novel with an authentic, observant American voice at its heart. Much of it takes place in Washington, so Northwest readers especially will be able to relate to it. Wolff also wrote a memoir about his time in Vietnam. Made into a film with Robert De Niro. Leonardo Dicaprio and Ellen DeBarkin.
Wonderful voice that keeps the reader wanting to know what happens next. Somewhat sad true story. I became so attached to the narrator that I found myself wanting to know more of his story when it came to an end.

New Ebook and Photo Contest from Guy TalMay 2nd, 2011 by Chris Klapheke
Our friend and contributor Guy Tal has been rather busy of late. In addition to publishing a new ebook, Guy is running a ten week creative photo contest, with new themes and prizes every week. Here's the lowdown on Guy's new projects:
First, Guy's new ebook. Having previously brought us Creative Landscape Photography, Guy has now turned his attention to image processing, and has published Creative Processing Techniques for Nature Photography. Both of Guy's books are great reads, and are rather unique in the ebook field. Guy not only brings us technical tips and know-how on his subject matter, but also discusses the mental side of things–the vision and the thought processes behind creative images. My favorite feature of Guy's books is that he includes thought-provoking exercises for the reader to perform, creating ebooks that are not only informative, but interactive.
In Creative Processing Techniques for Nature Photography, Guy covers subjects such as: Comfort Zones, Dynamic Visualization, Workflow & Analysis, RAW Processing, Global & Local Adjustments, Output and more.
Check out both of Guy's books in the OPG Store here.
Second, Guy has also been busy putting on a Creative Photography Contest, and OPG is a proud sponsor.
This contest will run 10 weeks, with a new theme and a new batch of prizes every week. At the end of the contest, there will be a Grand Prize Winner for lots of gear goodies.
The first week has just ended, and Guy says he received lots of entries, and some incredible images. He'll be posting the winners and entries on his site as the contest goes along.
Read about the contest and jump in with an entry here. Fun stuff!
Choosing Rain Covers for Your Gear RepostApril 29th, 2011 by Chris Klapheke
Editors note: Since it has been raining, ahem, just a little bit around the country, we thought we'd repost an entry dealing with different rain covers for your gear.
Rain Covers can protect your gear from the elements—not just rain. Mother nature throws all kinds of corrosive at your gear: sand, salt spray, snow and dust to name a few. Think of washing your clothes the last time you shot near the water or in a dusty field. That same stuff that made your clothes dirty is on your gear!
Your choice of rain covers is all over the board, both in price and in sizes. From $5 plastic disposable covers to high tech solutions running several hundred dollars, it might be overwhelming as to which one to choose.
The answer to your rain cover can reveal itself with a little analysis of two things: the lenses in your collection, and why you'll need a rain cover. Keep in mind that one size rain cover probably won't fit all your lenses, and you may find a different rain cover need for different lenses. Just as you need different lenses for different situations, you may need different rain covers as well.
Take your lenses out of storage and line them up on a table. A quick look will (maybe painfully) remind you of the amount of investment you have to protect. Grab a tape measure—yes, you'll need to measure your lenses, both length and diameter. If you want your rain gear to cover your hood, include that in your measurements. Keep in mind teleconverters, and add a few inches for them if you use them. Also, some rain cover manufacturers include the measurements for your camera body, so measure those as well. It only take a few minutes to measure, and you'll want to save this information.
Using Long Lenses to Create Dynamic Landscape PhotographsApril 21st, 2011 by Bret Edge
Pick up most any coffee table book featuring landscape photography and you'll likely be confronted with image after image of sweeping vistas and vast panoramas. Most of the images are probably photographed using a wide angle to moderate focal length lens. What you won't see are a bunch of photos created with a telephoto lens.
Long lens landscape photography isn't as easy nor is it as natural as using a wide angle lens to compose a landscape photograph. Our eyes don't see at 200, 300 or even 400mm. Normal human vision is similar to the field of view of a 50mm lens. The most challenging aspect of using a telephoto lens to photograph landscapes is learning to see like a telephoto lens. Your goal is to extract small, interesting sections from a much larger landscape. As if that isn't difficult enough to do with the naked eye, a telephoto lens will also dramatically compress the distance between foreground and background elements. Factor in the technical challenges of working with a long lens and you might be tempted to just throw in the towel. Don't do it! Here's why.
Street Photography and the Golden RuleApril 18th, 2011 by John Batdorff
If there's one thing I was reminded of while in Africa it was my need to "connect in order to create." That connection may be as simple as an exchange of smiles between me and a young man stacking charcoal or as intricate as an interpreter explaining my every word. As a photographer, my curious nature places me in situations that can be hard to navigate and at times difficult to explain. I found throughout the years that being sincere, respectful and giving a big smile are key ingredients to successfully navigating language barriers.
Here are a few guidelines to try to follow when traveling abroad:
1. Be polite and respectful. Don't be the ugly tourist with camera.
How to Photograph from an Open-Roof Safari Vehicle in AfricaApril 8th, 2011 by Andy Biggs
Editor's note: Welcome Andy Biggs to the blog! Andy has been a long time supporter of OPG, and is the designer and manufacturer of the wildly popular Gura Gear Kiboko bag. In addition to running Gura Gear, providing commercial stock images and teaching workshops, Andy conducts incredible photo safaris to Africa. Andy heads overseas six or more times a year, covering nearly every accessible part of the African continent. Having traveled with Andy myself to several stops in southern Africa, I can tell you that Andy's safaris are first class, and that you'll have the photographic experience of a lifetime. You can find out more about Andy, see his images and learn about his safaris at his website www.andybiggs.com. We look forward to more articles and videos from Andy in the future! –Chris
There are many different types of safari vehicles in Africa, and this is the first in a series of videos to try and explain what the vehicles are like. This video specifically describes what the pop-top, or open-roof vehicles are like in east Africa. There are other vehicle types in east Africa (Tanzania and Kenya), however this video specifically addresses the open roof type. I'll shoot similar videos in Botswana and in Kenya later on this year, and my goal is to use these videos to visually explain what the vehicles are like before travelers get to Africa.
You can find the Kinesis Safari Sack described in this video in the OPG Store here.

Think Tank Photo, Retrospective 30 Camera Bag ReviewMarch 27th, 2011 by admin
Every photographer needs a good camera bag (ideally a few). So when it came time to upgrade my trusty old LowePro shoulder bag, I decided to check out the latest bags by Think Tank Photo. Its not that I didn't like my old LowePro, but I was wanting a bag that was slightly bigger and one that doesn't look like a camera bag. This is where Think Tank Photo came in with their latest line of shoulder bags called the Retrospective series.
The Retrospective line are camera bags designed not to look like camera bags, which, if you're a photographer who has spent any time in crowds or in locations where its best to not look so conspicuous, then you can most definitely understand how valuable a bag like this can be. Think Tank has several sizes and color styles available, but I decided to go with the largest, the Retrospective 30. I also chose the Pinestone color as opposed to the black. I think I like this color primarily because it looks even less like a camera bag and also has a more 'rugged' look to it (which should go well with my rugged good looks, cough
Not only does this bag look great, but it has a ton of room! This bag can easily hold 2 camera bodies, multiple lenses (even a 70-200) a flash or two and all the batteries, cables, gels and what not that you can stuff in it. The interior is easily customizable with removable, velcro dividers and can be configured to hold any camera body with just about any lens attached. I like the Retrospective 30 because its size allows you to place a camera with a lens attached in various positions, depending on the lens you use and still have room for various other necessities.

Autism Spectrum Disorders Health Center
Medical Institute Set to Determine if Vaccines Really Cause Autism
The diagnosis of autism often occurs around age 2, when the MMR vaccine is administered. There also has been an apparent increase in the incidence of autism since the introduction of the MMR vaccine. These associations spurred some researchers to look for a possible link.
Chief among those is British researcher Andrew Wakefield, MD, an expert in bowel diseases at the Royal Free Hospital School of Medicine in London. In 1998, Wakefield sparked the debate by publishing a paper outlining the time-based association and hypothesizing that the MMR vaccine may trigger autism by causing bowel damage.
A damaged bowel would fail to properly filter dietary products in the gut and, in effect, allow toxic materials to be distributed in the brain, Wakefield explained.
Since then, his theory has inspired other researchers to pursue the link between MMR and autism. Among that group is Vijendra Singh, PhD, a research professor at Utah State University in Logan, Utah.
"Based upon my research, there is a good possibility that the MMR vaccine might be the culprit," Singh tells WebMD.
His research shows that up to 80% of autistic children have antibodies triggered by the measles virus that also appear to attack a particular protein in the brain, Singh explains. Therefore, it is conceivable that the MMR vaccine may be responsible because it exposes the child to the virus, Singh says. It also is not inconceivable that those children with bowel damage would be more susceptible because their brains would be exposed to a higher level of that virus, he says.
"I cannot conclusively say that I have found a fundamental cause," Singh tells WebMD. "But this is good science. It should not be ignored."
Still, the majority of experts disagree. They say the time-based association is coincidental and that autism is a genetic disease that is triggered by some other environmental factor during the first three months of pregnancy.
In fact, there is absolute proof that the MMR vaccine is not a cause of autism, says Paul Offit, MD, a pediatrician and chief of infectious disease at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. The incidence of autism is really no greater whether children receive the vaccine or not, he explains. And although the diagnosis is often made around age 2, trained experts frequently can identify autistic children at a much earlier age, he tells WebMD.
As for the increase in the number of reported cases, Offit points out that U.S. and U.K. recently adopted a broader definition of autism that seems to be capturing a larger number of cases.
And as for Wakefield's bowel theory, Offit observes that Wakefield failed to study the children who got the vaccine but didn't develop autism when he developed his theory -- even though those children often exhibit the same bowel symptoms.

A doctor is making a startling claim about the cause of many illnesses.
And his warning is especially aimed at pregnant women.
The claim is that many illnesses can be attributed to human exposure to chemicals.
The research comes from Doctor Paul Winchester, who is the director of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit AT Saint Francis Hospital in Indianapolis.
Winchester says studies indicate obesity, diabetes, autism, asthma, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, ADHD and certain cancers are all linked to disruptive chemicals.
Doctor Winchester will talk about ways to limit chemical exposure this evening at the Universalist Unitarian Church on Richwoods Boulevard.
The free event takes place at 6:30 p.m.

One person is in jail and another fatally injured after a traffic accident in Panama City Beach.
The accident happened on Thomas Drive Sunday night in front of the Signal Hill Golf Course.
Panama City Beach Police say a 2001 Ford Taurus sedan operated by 18-year-old Bruce George of Nolsensville, Tennessee was traveling eastbound but drove into the west bound lane. That's when the car collided with a scooter operated by 22-year-old Brandon Beverly of Knoxville, Tennessee, ejecting him from his vehicle.
Beverly was taken to Bay Medical-Sacred Heart where he was pronounced dead. George was charged with DUI manslaughter and taken to the Bay County Jail.
Authorities say additional charges are pending, as the accident is still under investigation.

Cancer Health Center
Levels of Evidence for Adult and Pediatric Cancer Treatment Studies (PDQ®): Treatment - Health Professional Information [NCI] - Strength of Study Design
The various types of study design are described below in descending order of strength:
- Randomized controlled clinical trials.
- Double-blinded.
- Nonblinded treatment delivery.
The randomized, double-blinded controlled clinical trial (1i) is the gold standard of study design. To achieve this ranking, the study allocation must be blinded to the physician both before and after the randomization and the treatment assignment take place. This design provides protection from allocation bias by the investigator and from bias in assessment of outcomes by both the investigator and the patient. Unfortunately, most clinical trials in oncology cannot be double-blinded after treatment allocation because procedures or toxic effects often vary substantially among study allocations in ways that are obvious to both the health care professional and the patient. In most cases, however, it should be possible to blind the investigator and the patient until the randomization has been made. If blinding of the therapy delivered cannot be accomplished, a rank of 1ii is assigned.
Meta-analyses of randomized studies offer a quantitative synthesis of previously conducted studies. The strength of evidence from a meta-analysis is based on the quality of the conduct of individual studies. Moreover, meta-analyses can magnify small systematic errors in individual studies. A study comparing the results of single large randomized trials to those of meta-analyses of smaller trials published earlier on the same topics showed only fair agreement (kappa statistic = 0.35). Outcomes of the large randomized controlled trials were not predicted accurately by the meta-analysis 35% of the time.[1,2] Meta-analyses performed by different investigators to address the same clinical issue can reach contradictory conclusions.[2] Therefore, meta-analyses of randomized studies are placed in the same category of strength of evidence as are randomized studies, not at a higher level.
Subset analyses of randomized studies are subject to errors inherent in multiplicity (i.e., statistically significant results to be expected as a result of random variation of measured effects in multiple subsets). Therefore, subset analyses do not represent the same strength of evidence as the overall analysis of a randomized trial as designed unless explicit prospective hypotheses are made for the analyzed subset. Otherwise, subset analyses should be placed in the next lower category of study design (nonrandomized controlled clinical trials).
- Nonrandomized controlled clinical trials.
This category includes trials in which treatment allocation was made by birth date, chart number, day of clinic appointment, bed availability, or any other strategy that would make the allocation known to the investigator before informed consent is obtained from the patient. An imbalance can occur in treatment allocation under such circumstances. For the reasons given above, subset analyses within randomized trials often fall into this category of evidence.
- Case series.
- Population-based, consecutive series.
- Consecutive cases (not population-based).
- Nonconsecutive cases.
These clinical experiences are the weakest form of study design, but they may be the only available or practical information in support of a therapeutic strategy, especially in the case of rare diseases or when the evolution of the therapy predates the common use of randomized study designs in medical practice. They may also provide the only practical design when treatments in study arms are radically different (e.g., amputation vs. limb-sparing surgery). Nevertheless, these experiences do not have internal controls and must therefore look to outside experiences for comparison. This always raises the issues of patient selection and comparability with other populations. In order of generalizability to other populations are population-based series, nonpopulation-based but consecutive series, and nonconsecutive cases.
