Budget cuts are expected for the Cherry Point air station and Fleet Readiness Center East, but the extent of them is not yet known, base officials said Wednesday in
While acknowledging it's unclear whether the cuts will be as severe as a possible 22 weeks of furloughs — equal to a 20 percent pay cut — for nearly the base's 5,000 civilian workers, Cherry Point officials say they are preparing for whatever may come.
Col. Philip Zimmerman, base commander for Cherry Point, and Mary Beth Fennell, production team director for
"The bottom line is furloughs will not actually start for DoD employees until late April," Robert Hale, undersecretary of defense, said at a press conference. "And we certainly hope that even if sequestration is triggered … Congress will act to de-trigger sequestration, or if they can't accomplish that goal by March 1 as the president suggested, to take some short-term action while they are dealing with the broader issue. Meanwhile, unfortunately, we will continue our planning for furloughs. Frankly this is the one of the most distasteful tasks I have faced in my four years in this job."
"If furloughs are enacted, civilian employees will experience a 20 percent decrease in their pay between late April and September," he said. "As a result, many families will be forced to make difficult decisions on where their financial obligations lie. Key benefits, such as life insurance benefits, health care and retirement, will generally continue."
Cherry Point and
Zimmerman, who is in his fourth year as commander at Cherry Point, said he already knows the base will have $800,000 less baseline budget next fiscal year, but added, "I don't know what sequestration will bring. I have received no guidance on that."
For her part, Fennell said her team has been dividing its focus between the effects of the budget crisis and the workload of warplane and drone repairs, which artisans have to get out the door.
They have not been formally advised a furlough will be implemented, but "the Navy has been very forthcoming about the potential for furloughs — very good, almost information overload," she said. "Employees were notified to begin planning in case that does come."
She said the budget reality for
They were advised in January to conserve resources, put a freeze on hiring and "do not contract or purchase anything unless it is mission essential," Fennell said. "Every purchase has to go to headquarters for approval."
"The house is full, there is lots of work and people wanting to do it," she said, but Phase II began last week halting any unanticipated repair service inside or outside the facility. The Navy doesn't have that money, so that work has stopped until April 1."
Local business leaders, including Chamber Military Alliance co-chairman Bill Naumann and Chamber Director Kevin Roberts, said the furlough would be felt by businesses across
"It's going to hurt all of us," Roberts said. "Our elected officials are out on recess and this is going to hit home."
Naumann said, "Those employees are going to pay their mortgages and car payments. That 20 percent is money that won't be spent at area restaurants and retail businesses."
At the
"These critical members of our workforce work in our depots that maintain and repair our tanks, our aircraft, our ships. They teach our kids. They care for our children. They provide medical treatment to all our beneficiaries. They take care of our wounded warriors."
Hale said large bases, where we have our large depots, will be affected, but he does not expect any new contracts to be cut and payments to vendors and employees to remain on time.
U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., in a Wednesday afternoon letter dealing with the prospect of the furloughs, said, "Most importantly for families in North Carolina, though, is the fact that more than 20,000 civilian employees at Camp Lejeune, New River, Cherry Point and other military bases in our state face more than $57 million in collective pay cuts."
She said, "Military personnel are rightly protected from sequestration but these indiscriminate cuts would hit our civilian workforce hard. Beginning on March 1 — just about a week from now — the (military) services plan to begin canceling work conducted at military depots, such as Cherry Point. In fact, the Navy proposes canceling $81 million in maintenance at Cherry Point — work that is critical to our local economy and our national security."
"While this could save money in the short-term," Hagan said, "delaying preventive care today can actually increase maintenance costs in the future."
Zimmerman said, "There is still military construction money in the fiscal 2013 budget for two military construction projects including one to move the current armory from the present location that would interfere with a proposed Slocum Gate 'flyover' from U.S. 70 and another for a Marine Aircraft Support facility, he said. "I just checked with Headquarters Marine Corps and don't think they are going to be a problem."
He said there was $52 million in other facilities restoration and modernization projects and for energy improvements in the current budget, with $22 million of the contracts to be awarded as soon as possible. "I think fiscal year 2013 is about the same."
Both Zimmerman and Fennell reported on the details of a good year at the base and positive plans for the future at Cherry Point, presently clouded by the unresolved budget crisis.

See gray whales in Puget Sound now
A few whales found good feeding grounds in the '80s and they apparently spread the word.
Mike Benbow / For The Herald
A gray whale surfaces in the Port Gardner bay area near Mission Beach recently. Gray whales migrate between Mexico and Alaska every year. From March through May, they're headed north. About a dozen whales venture into Possession Sound, Port Gardner and Port Susan to stop and feed.

A gray whale surfaces in the Port Gardner area near Mission Beach recently. Gray whales migrate between Mexico and Alaska every year. From March through May, they're headed north. About a dozen whales venture into Possession Sound, Port Gardner and Port Susan to stop and feed.
Mike Benbow / For The Herald
The migrating whales feed on tiny sand shrimp.
Ghost shrimp, also called sand shrimp, live in the sandy flats of bays along the Pacific Coast from Baja to Alaska. That, coincidentally, is the range for migrating gray whales, who have their young in the warmer, saltier waters of Baja, Mexico, and then swim some 5,000 to 6,000 miles to feed in the rich waters of the Arctic.
The migration of some 22,000 whales is under way and a number of them have been reported in the Sound and in the straits of Washington and British Columbia, according to the Pacific Whale Watch Association.
For a growing number of the whales, the Sound is a reliable pit stop where they can refuel while en route from Baja to the Bering and Chukchi seas.
In Baja, the whales fast for three to five months while giving birth to their young, and that's where the Sound comes in.
Sometime in the late 1980s a whale or two started coming into Puget Sound regularly and found plenty of sand shrimp around the bays along Whidbey and Camano islands and along Mission Beach and Kayak Point in Snohomish County.
"They couldn't make it through their (blubber) reserve, and they came into Puget Sound searching for food," said John Calambokidis, a co-founder of Cascadia Research in Olympia, who has been studying gray whales in Washington state since 1990.
He said the local trip may have been promoted by a poor feeding season in Alaska, followed by a fasting period in Mexico that left them emaciated. "They needed to feed on something to help them pull the motor," Calambokidis said.
His nonprofit group mostly does research for state and federal agencies. Whales are a big part of its work, and one thing Cascadia does is provide photo identification of specific whales.
Calambokidis said there isn't a huge amount known about gray whales. For example, scientists don't know old they get.
"The aging techniques aren't very good at measuring maximum age," he said.
The whales had been expected to live "30 to 40 to 60 years," he said. But he noted that some bowhead whales were recently found with ancient harpoon points inside them that haven't been used for more than 100 years.
So grays could last a lot longer than people thought.
That's important because the feeding whales in the Sound are apparently teaching others, certainly their young, to stop here for a snack on their way north.
Calambokidis said that from one or two grays, the group feeding around Whidbey has expanded to six whales that come every year in February and March and leave in May or June. The first of this year's group was spotted in February off Mission Beach on the Tulalip Indian Reservation.
"Eleven or 12 different individuals" were sighted in the Sound (last year)," Calambokidis said. "Of those, 10 animals we know and one or two were new."
The Puget Sound whales are a little different from other grays that migrate along the Pacific Coast each year, Calambokidis said. He said what's called the Pacific Coast feeding group moves up from Washington's coast to Vancouver Island to feed.
But not the Puget Sound whales. "When they leave, (the Sound) you don't encounter them," he said. "They move out of the area. I suspect they move up to traditional feeding areas in Alaska."
While some whales have been found stranded and have died in Washington, grays in general have made a remarkable comeback. He noted that before whaling days, there were an estimated 15,000 gray whales.
During whaling, they were hunted to near extinction. "Now this population has completely recovered and exceeds the numbers prior to whaling," Calambokidis said.
He noted that the Puget Sound whales seem to have a high survival rate. "Feeding a month or so before migration has kept them in good health for the last 20 years," he said.
A gray whale found dead off Whidbey last year was not part of the group identified as a regular feeder in the Sound, he said.
Whales feeding on ghost shrimp during higher tides come surprisingly close to shore. The whales, which grow to 40 or 50 feet in length and can weigh 60,000 to 80,000 pounds, sometimes swim along Mission Beach about a body's length away from the beachfront homes.
Parts of their tails and fins come out of the water as they roll in the sand, using their snouts to stir up a slurry of sand, water and ghost shrimp. They eject the water and sand through baleen filter plates in their upper jaw, swallowing the shrimp.
The whales leave behind holes in the sand that at low tide make the beach look like a golf course filled with divots.
But homeowners don't mind.
The whales are welcome visitors, and word spreads quickly each year when they're first sighted.
Jerry Solie, whose family has had a home on Mission Beach since 1937, first noticed the whales in 1989.
"They kept us awake all night," he said, referring to feeding whales spouting water in the air below his bedroom window.
Solie said he looks forward to the annual visit.
"They come so close, and they're so big," he said. "It makes it hard to get any work done because if they're there, you have to watch them."
He said the giant mammals are unusually friendly to the point where you wonder who's watching who.
"Twice I've had them come up right along my boat and look at me," he said. "They're watching me too.

The wrong post, tweet or picture could hurt your chances of landing a job.
But now some companies will demand passwords for social networking sites from potential and current employees under threat of termination.
A group of Washington state senators is sponsoring a bill that would prohibit companies from requiring employees to hand over these passwords.
Senate Bill 5211 prohibits employers, as a condition of employment or continued employment, from requiring an employee or prospective employee to submit or give access to social networking account information.
This means employers cannot demand access to accounts or profiles as a condition of employment.
If passed, employers could pay $500 and legal fees for violating the law.
Congress is considering a federal law and six other states have already passed similar bills.
Public posting and profiles would not be protected by the proposed legislation.

Grab a camera and help state track 'king tides'
You can help document environmental effects of changing sea levels

Ian Dugan of Brier throws a ball for his lab Guinness at Marina Beach Park in Edmonds on Saturday. The gravitational pull of the sun and moon create the king tides occurring now.
Another winter high tide is expected this morning and officials at the state Department of Ecology encourage people to take along their cameras if they're headed to the beach.
The Salish Sea sees its highest tides, often called king tides, during the winter when the gravitational pull of the sun and the moon are in synch. During king tides, scientists can see how rising sea levels, caused by changes in the climate, could affect the state's coastline. Ecology officials hope to document sea levels with the help of photographers around the state.
"No matter if you think that climate change is natural or it's caused by humans, the water is rising," said volunteer photographer Suzi Wong Swint. "This has implications for our public infrastructure. Helping to document the high tides is good planning."
Higher water levels could make river flooding more intense, shift beaches inland, increase erosion, endanger homes, roads and utilities, and threaten underground fresh water supplies located near salt water, Ecology spokesman Curt Hart said.
Wong Swint, who lives in Conway and spends a lot of time on Camano Island, works as an outreach and education specialist with the Snohomish County Public Works Department.
She became involved in the state's king tides photo project last year when the state sent an email to her office looking for participation.
She also plans to photograph beaches in Skagit, Island and Snohomish counties during the next run of king tides in mid-January.
After her trips to the beach, Wong Swint uploads her pictures onto the Washington King Tide Initiative Flickr Group site online.
"I would encourage families to take this on as a project," Wong Swint said. "It's fun and educational."
As a volunteer at Cama Beach State Park and a Cama Beach Foundation board member, Wong Swint is concerned about how high tides eventually could harm Cama Beach and long-standing beach neighborhoods on the island, she said.
One of those island neighborhoods, Maple Grove, is where Wong Swint photographed the tide Wednesday morning.
"The wind wasn't blowing, so it wasn't as dramatic as it can be at other times," she said. "But it was a good place to document the tide because you can gauge it against the sea wall there. You want photos with fixed structures in them."
In Everett, Glenn Coil took photos this week at Howarth Park and other places along the waterfront.
"I've enjoyed tracking weather and tidal extremes for a few years, so the request from the state for photos during high tides fit right into what I like to do," Coil said. "It's great that our newer technology helps get the word out and makes it easy to gather the documentation. I think this project should really help the state build on its knowledge."
That's the idea, Hart said. This is the third year the state has asked for pictures, and the photo collection is growing.
The king tides photo project began in Australia about three years ago. On the West Coast of North America, people in California, Oregon and British Columbia also are collecting photos of high winter tides, he said.
Sean Edwards works in surface water management for the county public works department. On Monday he took photos north of Stanwood to document the effect of the high tides on county Dike and Drainage Improvement District No. 7. The district has few people in it to help fund improvements, so Edwards is preparing to apply for money through a flood reduction grant program for the district, he said.
He also photographed the area between Stanwood and Camano Island where residents are concerned about saltwater encroachment into fresh water aquifers.
For Wong Swint, the king tide photo project is now part of her annual winter routine.
"I think of all those cabins and houses in low-lying areas," she said.
"Someday it won't be just sea spray on the windows. We'll be seeing those high tides lapping at the doorsteps."

Track and Field Inks Program's First-Ever Signees
March 20, 2014
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - As a general rule in track and field competition, being first is always the ultimate goal. While second and third place still receive awards and recognition, it is first that the athletes strive to achieve. Two brand new members of the Pfeiffer Athletic family are getting a head start on that "first" designation, signing on to be the first members of the newly minted Pfeiffer University track and field team. Head Coach Chris Wood announced Thursday that Josh Fuqua and Kylie Spencer would be the first-ever track and field signees in the history of Pfeiffer Athletics, joining cross country athletes already in the program who will be competing in track and field events as well.
Fuqua hails from Alabama where he's attended the Mobile Christian School since Kindergarten and is currently competitive in the shot put. Having won the 2A Alabama High School Athletic Association's 2013 State Championship in shot put as well as the 1-4A Indoor State Championship in 2014, Fuqua brings a tradition of winning with him to Pfeiffer. Fuqua has been competing in shot put since his sophomore year in high school, threw 50.7 feet in season as a junior, and bested that mark in the summer before his senior year with a throw of 52.5 feet. Currently throwing 51 feet in the 2014 outdoor season, Fuqua is also attempting the discus in his last high school season, and is a two-time team captain. Academically he boasts a 3.8 cumulative GPA and a score of 24 on the ACT with memberships in the Math Club, Service Club, and Honor Society. When asked about Fuqua's impact on the new program, Wood offered no hesitation. "I feel that Joshua has a legitimate chance at being the Conference Carolinas Champion in the shot put as a freshman. The jump up in implement weight will change things a bit but after a huge indoor season as State Champion, he will continue to improve on his best throughout outdoor and look to be State Champion again."
Spencer comes to Pfeiffer from Greensboro, N.C. where she is currently finishing up her senior year at Southeast Guilford High School. Spencer has committed to run cross country as well as track. After a little hard work in the summer before high school, Spencer earned a spot in the Top 5 of her high school's track team as a freshman runner. A letter-winner in outdoor track for the last four seasons, and indoor track for the last two seasons, Spencer saw her hard work pay off when she earned her team's number one runner designation this past season. Spencer's outdoor track accomplishments from last season include; All-Conference Runner designation, outdoor track State Qualifier for the 1600m, and indoor track State Qualifier for the 1600m. She was also an indoor track State Qualifier for the 1600m this past season, and holds school records in indoor track in the 1600m, 1000m, and 3200m. Spencer also boasts school record times in the 1600m and 3200m events in outdoor competition. Also competing all four years of high school in cross country, Spencer currently holds her school's women's 5K record, breaking her own record set last year during her junior season. She received her school's cross country MVP award this past season and has been the recipient of her team's distance MVP award for each season she's been a member of the squad. Spencer has also spent the last four years as a member of the Metro 4A All-Conference team for cross country, and was a two-time 4A Midwest Region Individual State Qualifier. Wood spoke highly of his newly acquired distance runner and mentioned, "Kylie will bring a lot of stability to the front of our pack for cross country as well as points in the 1500m outdoors. She has performed very well in North Carolina for the last two years. I am very confident in her ability to become a top runner in the Conference Carolinas Cross Country Championships."
Wood is excited to get back to work with his teams and could hardly contain his elation when discussing the future of the track and field program at Pfeiffer. "I spent a couple of weeks worth of practice with the current athletes I have, and every one of them is hungry for success. As for the freshmen that are coming in, especially the first two signees, success is a sure thing. I am very excited to start the 2014-2015 campaign. The goal is to give no ground to the conference next fall and improve on the fourth and seventh place finishes from last fall."
No one knows what the future holds for these athletes, but one thing's for certain, they'll always be first.

The Oak Pro Elbow Guard sports a dual level of protection sandwiched together. The outer layer is a highly shock absorbing material that is derived from F1 applications and the inner features a material with excellent moldability and cushion. An elbow guard that conforms to your body will be more comfortable and the perforated material ensures adequate venting. Comfort is not forgotten as Dainese uses a BOA® system to give a close and comfortable fit. The Boa® system uses internal wires that are tensioned with a dial. Similar systems are used in ski boots to keep them snug and comfortable.

Earlier this year, the ASPCA assisted in a three-state dog fighting bust alongside the FBI, Missouri Highway Patrol and several other agencies.
When we found these dogs, many were doomed to live their whole lives tethered by heavy chains—and on the day of the raid, many were left outside to suffer through a blizzard.
Today, after months under the care of our behaviorists, veterinarians and tireless responders, dogs rescued from this raid are thriving. In fact, some have already headed to rescue for adoption! Still others remain in our care.
We wanted to show you some of these dogs' happy faces and thank you for helping us make their rescue possible. We couldn't have taken on this massive operation without your help!

Thank God for all of you and THANK YOU!!!!:-)
How inhuman some of us can get! Why do they use these lovely dogs for their own profit without concerning much for the welfare and health of these dogs! Someday, what they have done will surely come back to them. I really pity these dogs!

God bless those people who do care about these dogs! Congratulations, SPCA! It really breaks my heart to see those poor souls being subjected to this horrifying thing! Now, they are very happy and it's all because of you, SPCA!

These dogs are cute and adorable! How can someone put them in a situation that's so gruesome? I'm so thankful that they have been rescued. It breaks my heart seeing them being used for money with a high price on these dogs' part!

Michael Watkins, 22, Weiser, was arrested just before 2 p.m. Monday and is currently in the Washington County Jail. He is charged felony burglary and felony grand theft. Police say Watkins does have some injuries; however, how he got them is still under investigation.
Police have identified a second suspect, but he has not been arrested or charged with a crime.
Zoo Boise officials tells us the monkey was brutally beaten and left for dead early Saturday morning.
Police say they can't release many details as to how the intruders broke in or why. We do know that the monkey died of excessive blunt force trauma to his head and upper body.
I speak for many of us in the police department and the community who were angered and outraged over this senseless crime. The loss of the patas monkey has touched many lives, including our officers and investigators, said Boise Police Chief Mike Masterson. Officers spent countless hours this weekend and today tracking and developing leads. As usual, it was a combination of a citizen tip and good police work that led us to the arrest in this case.
Zoo Boise Executive Director Steve Burns tells us there had been two male patas monkeys inside the exhibit until Saturday. He is pleased that police have made an arrest in this case. He thanked the community for their support.
Flowers stand just outside the exhibit where that monkey entertained so many over the years. Burns says, He was just a beautiful, beautiful animal, good size, two and half feet tall, 35 pounds, beautiful coloration.
Burns showed us where he found the animal, groaning and barely alive. It was about 20 yards form the enclosed exhibit where the monkey was kept.
Police tell us a security guard at the zoo spotted two intruders about 4:30 a.m. Saturday. They ran and were not found.
Both visitors and staff still can't believe one of the zoo's favorite animals is gone.
The staff and volunteers took it very hard on Saturday, there were tears and confusion, there was anger, disbelief, said Burns.
We asked whether the doors were locked or if there were any signs of forced entry into either the zoo or the exhibit, but police cannot release those details.
Meanwhile, Burns says they will be taking a closer look at their security.
We think our security is good; I've been here for 15 years, and we've never had something like this happen, said Burns. Of course when it does you are going to use it as a chance to review everything you do.
Police say a gray ball cap left near the primate exhibit is believed to have belonged to the suspect.
As for the other patas monkey at the zoo, Burns says staff members are closely monitoring him and giving him extra attention. Burns say the zoo is now looking to get another patas monkey for the exhibit.
Boise Police say their investigation is ongoing. Several people have been questioned who provided information about the crime. The investigation will be turned over to the Ada County prosecutor, and more charges are possible.

Hello my Friend.
I hope this note finds you and your loved ones well. The weather in the northeast is turning cooler. The leaves will soon turn into the most beautiful shades of red and yellow. I believe fall to be my favorite season of all.
How I miss my family in Norway , and the coast. Sometimes it feels like my throat closes. And my heart threatens to break. Thank God, I have my daughter, which helps me with the rare but searingly painful moments.
Wow, She just started her Junior year in Highschool and works her first Job. How did this happen?
Time flies, I remember her birth just like it was yesterday.
Sorry I missed you Michelle. I guess I was just checking messages as if I have so many! Hope you are doing good. I'm hanging in there, I suppose. Talk to you soon. Love You!
Good evening.Thanks much for your friendship,it's appreciated.Take care,stay safe and enjoy a great weekend.

More cameras
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
One of the hottest launches from this year's Photokina trade show, the Nikon D750, has grabbed the attention of serious amateurs and pros alike. Boasting a newly developed 24.3Mp sensor, expanded ISO sensitivity range and a host of features from their pro DSLRs it looks a mouth-watering prospect. Lets take a look at the D750 sensor scores and results to see how it stacks up against the full frame competition.
Released in April 2013, the Ricoh GR goes by the tagline of "Everything is big, except the size". It points clearly to the raison d'être of this camera – to be a compact model with a large sensor with the aim of offering DSLR-like performance without the size and weight associated with them. As with several models in this niche, it seems to hark back to days gone by with a retro style. While this impacts the versatility of the camera, it's much easier to make a high quality prime lens that can extract the most from the large, 16megapixel APS-C sensor tucked away inside. Within this sector we've seen some very good cameras through the labs in recent months, so the GR has got stiff competition.
Sony is often quoted as having aspirations to rival Nikon and Canon but, since taking over the SLR business of Konica Minolta, has so far shown only a handful of pro-grade lenses. The SAL500F40G is one such lens, more popularly known as the 500mm f/4.0DG SSM, and with a price tag of $13,000 it's aimed squarely at professionals and well-heeled enthusiasts. We've had the opportunity to assess the new lens at our lab in Seattle, please read on to see how the new Sony performs and if it has what it takes to compete with the current Canon and Nikon duopoly.
After years of unadventurous, unexciting "slow" speed zooms "fast", high-quality primes are experiencing a comeback thanks to the popularity of full-frame DSLRs and the merging of video capture. The moderately wide 35mm focal length has seen numerous new versions from most lens makers over the last two years or so, including this ultra-high speed offering from Sigma. Read on to see how well this lens fares on the highest resolution DSLR currently available.
The high-end Sony RX1 was one of the most eagerly awaited cameras in our labs and while we assessed the camera's full-frame sensor early in January, we've decided to publish the results of the Zeiss-branded Sonnar 2/35 T* lens. Readers will already be aware that it's fixed, and can't be purchased separately, but we can test it just as we would any other, albeit on one camera body only. Is this "fast", moderately wide-angle lens an outstanding performer worthy of the Carl Zeiss name? Read on to find out.
Announced in February 2012, the Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 lens Di VC USD is the latest full-frame, fast aperture standard zoom from the Saitama, Japan-based optical firm and is the first of its type to add VC (Vibration Control) image stabilization. Costing $1299 and available in Canon, Nikon and Sony fittings (the latter albeit without VC) and featuring USD (Ultrasonic Silent Drive) technology, it's an obvious alternative to the pricier offerings from the top-names. Could this lens be a contender in the IQ stakes? Read on to find out.
Introduced in November 2012 as the proposed 'kit' lens for the EOS 6D, the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM lens represents an interesting move for Canon – despite two well respected lenses in this category, the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM and the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM hopes to offer a compact, lightweight lens suitable for the newly created lightweight, full-frame camera segment. The red L-series band offers the promise of professional performance, but does it live up to the expectations?
Canon were busy in 2012 releasing three wide-angle primes, the EF 24mm f/2.8 IS USM, EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM and EF 35mm f/2 IS USM, on to the market. The latest launched in November 2012 was the Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM as an updated version of the original that dates back to 1990. Featuring Image Stabilization, Canon's USM Ultrasonic autofocus motor, a 'fast' f/2 maximum aperture and wide-angle focal length, it looks a great option for Canon shooters into landscape or architectural photography.
Launched in September 2012, the Tamron SP90mm f/2.8 Di Macro II VC USD lens aims to continue in the same vein as previous Tamron macro lenses by offering very high image quality in a well-priced package that rivals the offerings from the major camera manufacturers. A true macro lens, this model offers full 1:1 lifesize reproduction and includes Tamron's Vibration Compensation (VC) mechanism to help achieve images free of camera shake even at longer shutter speeds. Also present is their USD, or Ultrasonic Silent Drive, AF motor for fast, quiet AF operation.
Announced this past June alongside the Canon EOS Rebel T4i DSLR camera, the new Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM is an ultra-slim, entry-level pancake lens that uses Canon's Stepping Motor Technology (STM) to enable extra-quiet continuous autofocus, making it well-suited for video shooting.
Launched in July 1999, the Canon EF300mm f/2.8L IS USM lens has been one of the most popular super telephoto lenses in the Canon range for wildlife and sports photographers alike. As expected for a super telephoto lens with a constant f/2.8 aperture and an Image Stabilizer, it is right at the top of the tree in terms of cost. But does the performance match the price? DxOMark presents the results, including a comparison of the Canon with the Pentax smc DA Star 300mm f/ 4 ED (IF) SDM, a lens also recently tested in our laboratories.
The new Sony SLT Alpha 99, Sony's first full-frame DSLR equivalent in three years, combines the company's latest and greatest 24.3-megapixel Exmor CMOS sensor with its SLT (Single Lens Translucent) technology to deliver impressive image quality combined with fast and continuous autofocus while shooting still images and videos.
In the course of the past several weeks, both Canon and Nikon unveiled their professional digital reflex cameras for the next two years to come. With the D4, Nikon has updated a number of points in its pro camera body which cumulatively lead to an entirely new generation of SLR camera.
Three-and-a-half years after the release of the full-frame reflex EOS 5D Mark II, Canon finally unveils its successor, the EOS 5D Mark III, a reflex camera that takes several significant qualitative and functional leaps forward by borrowing the latest must-haves in photo technology from the EOS 7D and the EOS-1D X.
Three-and-a-half years after the release of the full-frame reflex EOS 5D Mark II, Canon finally unveils its successor, the EOS 5D Mark III, a reflex camera that takes several significant qualitative and functional leaps forward by borrowing the latest must-haves in photo technology from the EOS 7D and the EOS-1Dx.
After looking at the Nikon AF-D series, DxOMark continues working its way through the history of photography by presenting the measurements for another "antique" lens, the Canon EF 20-35mm f/3.5-4.5 USM.
Despite its success with its latest high-end camera models (the Nikon D3s and D3x), Nikon had yet to respond to the great success of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, whose superior resolution and numerous features (notably with respect to video) simply outclassed the aging Nikon D700.
At CES 2012, Canon just announced what could be their answer to the emergence of compact cameras with interchangeable lenses: the Canon PowerShot G1 X.
Announced at PhotoKina 2010, the Zeiss 35mm 1.4 lenses for Canon and Nikon are arriving on the market and have now been tested on DxOMark.
With these new lenses, the German brand extends its already extensive line of fast wide-angle lenses such as the Carl Zeiss Distagon T 28mm f/2 ZE Canon and the Carl Zeiss Distagon T 28mm f/2 ZF2 Nikon.

Based on your menstrual cycle, when's the best time to have sex so you have the lowest chance of pregnancy?
- Megan*
The time a girl is most likely to get pregnant is the time about halfway between periods, when ovulation occurs. But trying to time things to a "safe" time can lead to an unintended pregnancy because it can be very difficult to predict exactly when the egg will emerge from the ovary ready to be fertilized. And girls can be fertile for several days around the time of ovulation.
Couples having sex should use a more reliable method to prevent pregnancy, like birth control pills or the patch — as well as condoms to help prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
