The effort to help a 15-year-old gymnast paralyzed from the mid-chest down after an accident during practice last week extended to social media Thursday.
Jacoby Miles was practicing a routine move on the uneven bars at Roach Gymnastics in Sumner Friday night when she accidentally landed on her neck, injuring -- but not severing -- her spinal cord.
She underwent about six hours of surgery at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and still faces rehabilitation.
Miles could not feel her hands, wrists or anything from mid-chest down. Doctors have told her family that it is possible she could regain use of her hands and wrists, but walking again will be much more difficult.
Her coach, 2008 Olympic weightlifter Melanie Roach, reached out on Facebook Thursday asking everyone to donate at least $1 to the fund to help Jacoby at the Team Jacoby website. The request is also being shared on Twitter with the hashtag #B1namillion
Roach has also pledged to donate 100 percent of the profits from new book, Lift: Enjoying the Journey of Life, toward Jacoby s expenses.
Roach said Thursday at least $10,000 had been raised via the website, although help is also coming from other places.
Donations can also be mailed to Roach Gymnastics and Emerald City Gymnastics at the following addresses:

No way to keep all ice users happy, city rec director says.
Brockville Recorder & Times
By RONALD ZAJAC - Staff Writer
There isn't enough prime ice time in the city's two arenas to accommodate the requests of all user groups, Brockville's parks and recreation director said Tuesday.
David Morgan made the remarks in response to a question by Councillor Jason Baker before city councillors backed new ice allocation guidelines at its regular meeting.
Those guidelines will allocate prime time ice at the Memorial Centre and Centennial Youth Arena using a percentage system based on the number of each user group's members.
Still, the city won't be able to accommodate all the requests, said Morgan, noting one large user group, which he did not name, wants 700 hours of ice time for the entire fall-winter season.
Along with the percentage system, the new policy, which has the backing of the arena advisory committee, also requires youth groups to be non-profit and have at least three-quarters of their members under age 18, and more than half of them from Brockville, to qualify for the lower, city-subsidized youth rate.
Morgan also said last week the city is looking at allowing groups a 30-day notice period if they want to cancel ice time.
In interviews with The Recorder and Times on the weekend, Brockville Minor Hockey Association president Scott Evans and St. Lawrence Speed Skating Club president John Somerville both described the system as fair.
But Baker was skeptical, saying the true test of the policy will be in the actual allocation.
The people who are on side with the new system now will quickly jump off if they do not get the ice they think they are getting, said Baker. He also had his doubts about the 30-day grace period for cancellations.
Without a strong "penalty clause," large users, such as the BMHA, will book more ice than they need and cancel it later, leaving periods of unused ice, said Baker.
The councillor acknowledged the BMHA has done a good job of improving its practices.
However, the city has been "too soft" in allocating prime time ice, said Baker, citing the example of an adult group that uses the Memorial Centre on Wednesday nights before Tikis games.
That time is perfect for youth groups and adults should be required to play after the Tikis are done, argued Baker.
The guidelines state that "long-standing organizations," such as adult leagues, that have used prime time ice will continue to get that ice, but the policy adds "these prime time allotments will not increase to the detriment of youth programming."
Adult groups pay the top rate, countered Mayor David Henderson, who warned against pulling a long-standing adult user from a sure time slot when a youth group may only use it temporarily.
Councillors agreed with Morgan's recommendation to give the new policy a chance to work and keep an eye on it.

Miami-Dade leaders bring back spoken prayer to its commission meetings, and the ACLU says that depending on how it's done, a lawsuit may be "inevitable." We ask you what role prayer has in your life and, putting aside legal questions, what place it should have in government.

Great Products, Awesome Customer Service, and Fast Shipping
I searched several wedding invitation websites and could not find anything that I just loved, until I received information in the mail from Magnet Street! I customized the perfect invitation that was everything I dreamed of! I was a typical bride who was not wanting to break my budget on invitations, but Magnet Street always notified me of special offers. On a time crunch, I was worried about how long it would take to get my invitations printed and shipped; however, I placed my order and received my product in one week! I had a question about my order and received great, prompt customer service. My experience with Magnet Street was exceptional!
Fantastic tags!
I ordered these tags for take-home gifts for my wedding guests (which happened to be mini pies, appropriately enough!). These tags were perfection. They arrived quickly, were of the highest quality, and were so adorable my family and I are still getting compliments on them.

Easy Steps To Securing Your Computer
If you currently have no security software such as an anti-virus or firewall please visit our security suite information page first. If you already have a security suite installed, you can account for step 1 and 2 below as being completed.
1) Install anti-virus software:
Anti-virus software attempts to identify, neutralize, and eliminate malicious content. Key aspects to ensure proper functionality:
- Configure the settings to automatically check for updated definitions.
- Schedule the software to perform a routine scan of your entire system.
2) Install firewall software:
Firewall software regulates traffic between your computer and the internet. It inspects network traffic that is passing through it and either permits or denies access based on your set of rules. Key aspects to ensure proper functionality:
- Configure the settings to automatically check for program updates.
- If in doubt when allowing or denying an application access to the internet please contact the Help Desk.
3) Install anti-spyware software:
Spyware is software that is installed on your computer without your consent. Spyware monitors your online activity and reports it to online advertisers. Spyware can change your settings, slow your computer down and change your browser home page. You can become infected with spyware by installing certain freeware programs such as Kazaa, Imesh, Grokster, etc. Another reason you can become infected is because of low security settings in your browser. To learn how to increase your security settings please click here. Installing anti-spyware software will ensure you are protected against the latest threats. Key aspects to ensure proper functionality:
- Configure the settings to automatically check for updated definitions.
- Schedule the software to perform a routine scan of your entire system.
4) Email attachments:
The general rule of thumb here is not to open an attachment unless you know who it's from and you were expecting it, otherwise delete it.
- Block file types that are known to carry viruses such as (EXE,COM, PIF, SCR, UBS, SHS,CHM,BAT).
- Use an email program with spam filtering built-in.
5) Operating System:
Setup your computer to automatically download and install updates at least once per week. It is very important to keep your operating system up to date at all times. This will ensure your system is not susceptible to the latest security vulnerabilities. For detailed instructions on how to do this, select your operating system:
Windows operating systems
Mac OS X
6) Creating secure passwords:
Being that almost everything that we do on the internet requires a password, it is crucial to maintain secure passwords. Most individuals use the same password for everything they do because it is memorable (yet highly insecure). Here are some important things to consider when creating passwords:
- Create a password that is 9 to 14 characters long.
- Use a combination of upper case, lower case, numbers, and special characters.
- Never write down your passwords and place them near your workstation.
- Consider using your own personal algorithm. For example if your current password for your email is "computer123" try something that will make it unique such as "CoMpUtEr123email!" or "compUTER123email!"
- Always logout of an account when you are finished.
- Change your password a few times per year.
7) Backups:
Backing up your important files is a crucial aspect in protecting your system. You never know when your system will crash, but if it does you won't have to worry about data loss. Useful media to backup your system to would be:
- External hard drives
- Recordable CD's and DVD's
- USB thumb drives
Along with these hardware devices you may want to consider purchasing automated software that will backup your files at specific intervals.
8) Data on the go:
USB thumb drives are often used by students to store important files. If these small devices are lost or stolen, your identity may be at risk. One thing to consider is to purchase a thumb drive like Iron Key that offers on-the-fly hardware encryption of all the files. If someone finds your drive, they won't be able to see any of the information that is stored on it unless they know the master password. There is also free software encryption such as TrueCrypt available for users that don't have built in hardware encryption.
9) Don't run your account as administrator
Running your computer as administrator all of the time opens up your system to potential threats. The best practice is to run your computer as a limited user and have a separate administrator account that you can switch to when installing applications. When you run a program as an administrator, it has unlimited access to your computer. This means it is much easier to become infected with viruses, spyware, malware, key loggers, etc. If you were running as a limited user, most of these exploits would fail because it reduces your surface area for attacks. Please click here for more information on how to setup limited user accounts.
10) Miscellaneous:
- Disable file and print sharing when not in use.
- Always have a password for you to login to your user account.
- Remember to lock your computer when you walk away to prevent unauthorized use. (Use Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys)
- Don't use public wi-fi spots to access personal financial information.
- When entering personal information into a website, make sure the site is secure. A secure website address will start with https://. The 's' stands for secure. Click here to learn more.

GOP hopefuls in the middle of 'silly season'
The term "silly season" is probably related more to sports than anything else, but it could certainly be applied to presidential races and potential candidates. Editor Don Whitten says the political silly season is already in full force, and he takes a look at the ins and outs of Republican candidates to oppose Barack Obama in 2012. (May 25, 2011, Page 4)

City attorney cuts draw attention
DOWNTOWN SAN DIEGO Criticism of Mayor Bob Filner's decision to target a political rival's office for cuts overshadowed the praise he received Monday for a proposed budget plan that addresses homelessness and bolsters public safety.
Filner's call to slash $1.4 million from City Attorney Jan Goldsmith's office budget was easily the most provocative of the mayor's proposals given the growing animosity between the two officials. They've sparred over several civic issues since Filner took office Dec. 3 and aren't on speaking terms, a status that isn't likely to be changed with a budget ax.
The mayor's plan to close a $38.4 million deficit in the city's $1.2 billion operating budget didn't include any other significant cuts.
Filner defended the decision to cut the equivalent of 13 full-time positions in the City Attorney's Office. He pointed to the increase in the office's $43.6 million budget and 346-member staff since 2009 while significant cuts were made elsewhere.
"As I said we tried to adjust that department with all the other departments over the years that had seen decreases," Filner said. "The city attorney had not (seen decreases) and we wanted to bring that more in line. … The attorney could adjust those savings in any way he wants and he has said on a couple occasions as long as you don't tell me where I have to make the cuts it's fine."
Is Mayor Filner getting personal in proposing cuts to City Attorney Jan Goldsmith's budget?
Yes 77% (390)
No 23% (116)
506 total votes.
Goldsmith said the mayor identified specific individuals in his office that would be laid off in detailed backup information.
"While we understand the mayor has made public statements to the effect that specific cuts to the city attorney's budget would be up to the city attorney, those statements don't explain why the mayor has taken the unusual step of identifying people by name to be laid off and eliminating their job positions," Goldsmith said. "We are certainly willing to work with the City Council on our budget, as we have each year. But, if we need to reduce our budget, we will not allow the mayor to decide who gets laid off. Under the city charter, we are an independent office and we will make those decisions."
At least one of the 13 city attorney employees whose job would be eliminated said he felt he was being personally targeted by Filner for standing up to him.
Executive Assistant City Attorney Andrew Jones, Goldsmith's second-in-command, said he has shut down meetings with Filner in which the mayor treated attorneys poorly by shouting and screaming at them.
"He's (verbally) attacked me in closed session to the extent that at one point he asked if I would sit in the back of the room," said Jones, who is black. "I, of course, considered it something similar to asking Rosa Parks to sit in the back of the bus. I was extremely offended by it but in deference to my boss I decided not to make a big deal out of it. But clearly he has a problem with me. I'm not sure why."
Filner, a longtime civil rights activist, participated in the famous Freedom Rides as a college student in 1961.

A GOVERNMENT appointed planning inspector has ruled that an ancient Lake District fell pass is out of bounds for motorised vehicles.
The decision by the Secretary of State to make Garburn Pass, between Troutbeck and Kentmere, a 'restricted byway' follows three years of legal argument.
It means that any motorist or motorcyclist using the pass is committing a criminal offence and could face serious legal consequences.
The inspector went through hundreds of pages of documents ranging from maps of 1822, guide books of the 1880s, and photographs of motorbikes using the pass in the 1920s.
The Lake District National Park Authority has also announced that thanks to around £55,000 of Government funding invested in repairs following the 2009 floods, the pass is probably in better condition than it has been for hundreds of years.
"The storms of November 2009 badly damaged both sides of the pass, especially the western side where the track effectively became a river, and most of the surface ended up on the main road," said National Park Countryside Access Adviser Nick Thorne.
"We were able to obtain significant funding under the Paths for the Public Project, funded by Defra, the Rural Development Programme for England, and Cumbria County Council. And we have now completely rebuilt the worst affected areas in three stages with the work being carried out by our own staff, the National Trust, and a local contractor."
A PAIR of ospreys have returned to their nesting site in the Lake District. The birds are back at Bassenthwaite Lake - 10 years after the first male osprey chose the area for a nesting site.The bird, known as No Ring, was the first to nest in the Lakes for 150 years. Experts say he has returned with the female he paired up with for the first time in 2007.
It is hoped the birds will rear an 11th generation of young after two male chicks were produced last year.
Graeme Prest of the Lake District Osprey Project said: "It is wonderful news that the ospreys have returned for another season and have already mated. With a bit of luck, the female will be laying her eggs soon."
Almost 100 people are part of a volunteer project to provide 24-hour observation on the nest. They also engage with the public about ospreys at the Dodd Wood viewpoint and Whinlatter Visitor Centre.
The public Osprey Viewpoint at Dodd Wood, near Keswick, has been opened and telescopes are being provided to see the birds.
Live images from the nest are also being beamed to a big screen at the nearby Whinlatter visitor centre. The osprey project is managed by a partnership of the Forestry Commission, Lake District National Park Authority and the RSPB.

On 24 March 2009, the African Union Mission held a special event in Washington, DC, to celebrate biodiversity conservation in Africa. The event celebrating Africa Environment Day brought together African Ambassadors, U.S. government representatives, international conservation non-governmental organization (NGO) partners and other stakeholders to discuss "Conservation, Governance and Economic Growth in Africa: The Way Forward".
"We are extremely honored to be partnering with the African Union (AU) on this event," said African Wildlife Foundation CEO Dr. Patrick Bergin who chaired the event. "The discussion builds on our collaboration with the AU on its New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) and on AWF's Sustainable Economic Resources for Africa (SERA) initiative, which promotes an agenda of policy, legislative and institutional recommendations based on the principles and lessons of AWF's African Heartlands Program."
The event, held at the South African Embassy, was kicked off by H.E. Welile Nhlapo, Ambassador of South Africa, who emphasized the role of enhanced governance and greater cross-country collaboration on conservation and sustainability.
"In South Africa, we say everything is possible," said Ambassador Nhlapo, setting the tone for the rest of the presentations.
H. E. Amina S. Ali of Tanzania, head of the AU mission to the United States introduced the history of Africa Environment Day, established by the Africa Council of Ministers in 2002, and outlined initiatives focusing on ecological sustainability across the continent.
Representing the United States, Mr. Phillip Carter, U.S. Acting Assistant Secretary for African Affairs, touched on recent U.S. initiatives to support ecological sustainability in Africa and emphasized the United States' continuing commitment to helping developing countries transition to low-carbon economies. "One of our goals is to help African nations conserve their resources, which mitigates causes of instability," he said.
The connection between poverty reduction and conservation emerged early as a consistent theme. By benefiting directly from conservation programs, local people have incentive to protect the natural assets they live with, creating economies based on renewing rather than destroying natural resources.
Mr. Franklin Moore, Deputy Assistant Administrator, Bureau of Africa for the U.S. Agency for International Development, described how his agency had a long history of supporting conservation efforts and partnerships in Africa.
After the thematic presentations, panelists presented case studies, which ranged from the creation of the national park system in Gabon, to the recovery of Rwanda's tourism sector and its continuing ecological challenges, to the issue of balancing large-scale development projects with ecological sustainability in Tanzania, to the devastating effects of Liberia's civil war, which left 250,000 people dead and gutted the country's natural resources.
"If there was any good thing to come out of the war it is that we are at ground zero. Everything is broken, but we can build from scratch and make it right," said H.E. Milton Nathaniel Barnes, Ambassador of Liberia.
In Rwanda, where tourism has rebounded since the genocide, continuing challenges include soil erosion, misuse of marshlands, and heavy dependence on wood for fuel and cooking. "In Rwanda, a small country that has the highest population density in Africa, you can see this has huge consequences," said H.E. James Kimonyo, Ambassador of Rwanda.
All the presenters emphasized the responsibility of leaders and the importance of good governance in securing Africa's natural wealth. "The decision to set aside 10 percent of the country as protected areas was viewed as very courageous; Gabon would lose revenue from mining, logging and other development," said Mireille Obame Nguema Moore, who was speaking on behalf of the ambassador.
H.E. Ombeni Sefue, Ambassador of Tanzania, further illustrated the challenge of balancing human well-being with ecological sustainability. As work to tap Tanzania's waterfalls for hydroelectric power got underway, scientists discovered that a rare and tiny toad depended on these running waters to survive. To protect the toad the country had to modify its plans and scale back its use of the new power plants.
"How do you explain that to people?" Ambassador Sefue asked. "That they can't have energy because we have to save these tiny toads." While pointing out the grave human dilemma at the heart of this question, the ambassador conveyed a personal sense of awe at the existence of the toads, drawing laughter from the audience.
Approximately 100 people attended the event, gathering afterward for a reception. The major international conservation NGOs belonging to the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group (ABCG), including AWF, Conservation International, International Union for the Conservation of Nature, the Jane Goodall Institute, The Nature Conservancy, Wildlife Conservation Society, World Resources Institute and World Wildlife Fund. hosted informational tables at the event to share information about their field conservation programs and partnerships in Africa.

CHARLESTON – The name of a powerful legislative lobbyist has emerged from a July prostitution sting in Charleston.
Charleston Mayor Danny Jones held a hastily-called 10 a.m. press conference at City Hall in an attempt to explain how news of Philip A. Reale's arrest on solicitation of prostitution charges escaped public notice for more than two months.
Jones said he was "embarrassed" at the lapse and said his administration has constantly supported transparency in government. "Whether it's Danny Jones, Zack Jones (the Mayor's son who was arrested on drug-related charges) or Phil Reale, everyone deserves to be treated the same," said Jones.
Reale, former Governor Gaston Caperton's Chief of Staff and former State Democrat Chairman, has some of the biggest organizations involved in legislative lobbying as his clients. Included in the list is the West Virginia Press Association. Reale also represents the Beer Wholesalers, the Clay Center, Health Management Systems, Inc., Humana, the International Oil and Gas Association, Visa USA, Wells Fargo Insurance Services, the West Virginia Kennel Owners Association and numerous smaller groups.
Jones said he was particularly upset that Reale chose to visit the Charleston Daily Mail offices when the newspaper called to ask him about the arrest. Reale, accompanied by public relations specialist George Manahan, told the Daily Mail he was on his way to Berry Hills County Club when he encountered the female involved in the arrest. The charge was a part of a prostitution sting conducted by the Charleston Police Department and other agencies.
The police department issued a press release on July 12 regarding the sting and listed five individuals as being charged. They did not include Reale's name.
At the time, Sergeant Bobby Eggleton was commander of the Special Enforcement Unit with the CPD. His unit conducted the sting and Eggleton told reporters he intentionally left Reale's name off the release.
"That was, pure and simple, a mistake," said the Mayor. "They should either have listed everybody or not issued a press release at all. I can guarantee you it won't happen again."
There was also some question when the arrest came to light last week about the spelling of Reale's name. On the ticket, it appears the officer wrote, "Neale" rather than "Reale" but Jones said he had not seen the citation and could not comment on it.
The Mayor did say, however, "I have read the police report. What Phil told the Daily Mail is just not what happened. It's a simple case."
Jones pointed out that, while Reale said he was going to Berry Hills Country Club on Edgewood Hill, he was actually on the other side of Washington Street. "He turned onto Beatrice Street, which is a dead end, after encountering the alleged prostitute," said the Mayor. "If he was headed to Berry Hills, he was sure taking the scenic route to get there."
Eggleton told reporters he consulted with City Attorney Paul Ellis before deciding not to list Reale in the press release. He said both he and Ellis decided Reale was distraught and suicidal and no purpose would be served in listing him. He said Reale told the city officials he was undergoing "treatment for a problem."
But Jones said that was simply not good enough. "Bobby Eggleton is one of my favorite officers and one of the best officers the city has," said the Mayor. "But he made a mistake this time and I think he now knows it."
Jones said, after reading the police report, "My instructions were clear. I want the charges refiled and this case will go through the system properly."
The Mayor said after Reale was arrested, the charges were eventually dropped "without prejudice" meaning they can be refiled.
"One question I had was why I didn't hear about this until last Thursday," said Jones. "I would have thought I would have although maybe that's not required."
Jones said, "I can say, based on the Daily Mail interview, that Phil is in a state of denial. That's not a good place to be. He would have better off not to have said anything to them."
Although Jones said he believes Eggleton now realizes his mistake, the officer told the Daily Mail on Monday, "If it happened again tomorrow, I can't say I wouldn't do the same thing on him or anybody else I thought was suicidal."
Jones said he had held "discussions" with members of the police department and city attorney's office explaining, "If people figures out this works to get charges dropped, everybody will be lined up with a sad story." He did not say if he had specifically spoken with Eggleton.
Ellis and Eggleton insisted Reale was given no special treatment. For his part, Reale said he did not know his name was omitted from the press release.
Eggleton and Ellis said to the best of their knowledge, they had never met Reale before this matter came up. They said they did not know anything about his job or career at the time of the arrest. Reale confirmed he had never met either man before.
"It's not the innocence or guilt of this as much as it is the adverse public notoriety that goes with it," Reale told the Daily Mail.
Reale maintained in a written statement that "my first inclination was that she needed assistance," in reference to the alleged prostitute. "When she approached my car, I was shocked to learn that she was a prostitute. I immediately declined her offer, but made a nervous, flippant response."
The Mayor called Reale's account "simply inaccurate. That's not what happened as anyone can see from the report." Jones said the police department is trying to determine if it has audio evidence concerning the arrest as well.
"This will be handled correctly and the public can be assured of it," said the Mayor.

Parkinson's Disease and Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Introduction to Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
Progressive supranuclear palsy, or PSP, is a rare neurodegenerative disease that is often misdiagnosed as Parkinson's disease because it carries similar symptoms. Because of its rarity, PSP is mostly unknown by the general public.
What Causes PSP?
PSP develops because of the deterioration of brain cells in a few small, but very important areas at the base of the brain. The most important affected area is the substantia nigra. When this area of the brain is affected by the disease, a lot of the palsy's symptoms become more visible. Research is still being conducted as to why the brain cells degenerate.
What Are the Early Symptoms of PSP?
Reader Stories
The beginning stages of PSP include the inability to walk, falling spells, and stiffness. Falls experienced by a PSP patient are often described as having a state of dizziness, prior to actually falling. This dizziness description is sometimes misdiagnosed as an inner ear problem or a hardening of the arteries that are blocking blood flow to the brain.
Other common symptoms of PSP include:
What Are Some of the Later Symptoms of PSP?
Reader Stories
The word "progressive" was included in the palsy's name because symptoms typically progressively worsen for a patient. After seven to nine years, PSP becomes more difficult to deal with. The disease usually causes physical imbalance and stiffness of the body to grow worse, making walking very difficult or sometimes impossible.
Problems with eyesight also occur in the later stages of PSP. Usually visual problems can become as much of an issue as impaired walking for the patient. Eyesight is most affected by the difficulty to aim the eye properly, making reading very hard. Another eyesight problem that is sometimes encountered is the inability to maintain visual contact with another person during conversation. PSP can also cause "tunnel vision", which sometimes causes problems while a person is trying to drive a car.

CHOP Earns Most No. 1 Rankings in U.S.News & World Report Survey
June 5, 2012 — Ranking number one in 6 of 10 specialties, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has more No. 1 rankings than any other children's hospital in the
nation, according to U.S.News & World Report's Best Children's Hospital survey for 2012-13. CHOP ranked first in Cancer, Diabetes and Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Orthopedics, Pulmonology, Urology; second in Cardiology and Heart Surgery, Nephrology and Neurology and Neurosurgery, and fourth in Neonatology.
CHOP also tied for number one ranking overall in 2012-13
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has again tied for the number one ranking overall on U.S.News & World Report's Honor Roll of Best Children's Hospitals.
"No matter how many times we achieve the top ranking in this survey, it is always an exhilarating, inspiring and humbling experience — and a reminder of our responsibility to constantly improve healthcare for children," said Steven M. Altschuler, MD, chief executive officer of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "I could not be prouder of our employees and the extraordinary care they provide to our patients every day. I am honored to work alongside them."
About the U.S.News & World Report survey methodology
The U.S.News survey methodology combines clinical data points from 178 pediatric centers with a separate reputational score derived from a survey in which 1,500 pediatric specialists – 150 in each specialty – were asked to which hospital they would send the sickest children.
More information
The full rankings and methodology are available at www.usnews.com/childrenshospitals. The rankings will also be published in the U.S. News Best Hospitals 2013 guidebook, which will be available in August.

|Introduction | Pentax MX-1 sensor performance | Pentax MX-1 versus competition | Conclusion
DxOMark testing reveals that the Pentax MX-1 is a serious challenger to the established high-end compacts. With an Overall Score of 49, it's among the top scoring compact cameras selling for under $500, rivaling proven performers like the popular Canon PowerShot S110, which sells for $449.99 (and its predecessor the S100) and the Panasonic DMC-LX7 ($449.99). The MX-1 performed competitively across the board, with a Portrait Score of 20.4 bits and a Landscape Score of 11.3 Evs, and stood out particularly for its low-light performance with Sports Score of 208 ISO, which was the best score among compact cameras selling for less than $500.
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.
To website
The Pentax MX-1 is a 12MP high-end compact camera with a fast 28-112mm equivalent zoom lens - the first camera of its type that Pentax has created. With a rich history in camera design, it seems fair that Pentax would seek to recapture the two-tone camera designs of the last century with its MX-1 enthusiast compact (the MX-1 is also available in an all-black model as well). A metal top and bottom and a leather-like band around the middle provide a gripable surface as well as a classic look. Thanks to the painted brass top and bottom plates, we're told users will enjoy that old tendency toward 'brassing' exhibited in well-used vintage cameras as the MX-1 accumulates wear. We haven't yet bashed the Pentax MX-1 around enough to test this feature, but there's still time.

Endangered Species
Endangered Species
A species is considered endangered if it is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. Species include birds, insects, fish, reptiles, mammals, crustaceans, flowers, grasses and trees. There are approximately 1,300 endangered or threatened species in the U.S. today.
The importance of biological diversity to human society is immeasurable. However, human activities the world over are causing the progressive loss of species of plants and animals at a rate far higher than the natural background rate of extinction.
An estimated 40 percent of the global economy is based on biological products and processes. Poor people, especially those living in areas of low agricultural productivity, depend especially heavily on the genetic diversity of the environment. The effective use of biodiversity at all levels — genes, species and ecosystems — is therefore a precondition for sustainable development. (Source: EPA, UNEP, NOAA / Photo: Flickr)
