Bob Straus speaks at the B&H Event Space on how digital photography has transformed picture-taking since the days of film. He will discuss the digital shift in mindset by many former film shooters and the great reliance on digital photographic equipment by "digital age" photographers who have never learned the basics of photography or have gotten away from these fundamentals in favor of camera technology and computer post production.
For many years, we've been told that color casts—those shifts in color towards blue or yellow—are a bad thing and should be corrected at all costs. In the film days we used color-correction (CC) filters to battle them and, in the digital age, most choose to set their cameras to auto-white-balance (AWB), in effect telling the camera to detect and neutralize color casts automatically. After all, neutral whites and lack of color casts are desirable and natural, right? Wrong!
The movement from 35mm to digital sensors in compact cameras has done more than simply make it possible to instantly review and share your photos. It's also changed the way cameras are designed. Because the sensors used in today's compact cameras are much smaller than a frame of film, lenses can also be much smaller and cover longer zoom ranges than ever were possible with film.

Objective: One of the reasons why the castle exists in the first place is that the German immigrants who wanted to come to the area also wanted to feel their new home was like home. Today's objective is to discuss what home is, what this means, and how one can capture the idea of home.
1. Have each student define the idea of home as they understand it.
2. In smaller groups, have students discuss whether they think you can create the feeling of home or if it needs to be inherent.
3. As a class, have the students discuss the reasons why a person might want to feel at home. What does this allow a person to do? What does home allow a family to do? What does home mean for a family in the long run?

Newest Target mash-up
French-American designer Joseph Altuzarra is the latest to collaborate with discount retailer Target, joining the ranks of Phillip Lim, Missoni, Peter Pilotto and Jason Wu.
The limited edition collection of shoes, apparel and accessories will be in stores and online at target.com and net-a-porter.com on Sept. 14.
The nearly 50-piece line is priced from $17.99 to $89.99 for apparel and lingerie, and $29.99 to $79.99 for shoes and accessories.
The collection hits stores in time for fall and will feature "a mix of iconic Altuzarra silhouettes with designs created specifically for Target," according to a press release from the retailer.
During the fall collections earlier this year, we fell deeply in love with Altuzarra's color-blocked wrap coats and soft sophisticated dresses; let's hope some of that style shows up in the aisles of Target.

J. Crew's blues
The collab fever gripping the fashion universe continues with capsule collections from J. Crew and the Council of Fashion Designers of American and Vogue Fashion Fund for the third consecutive year. Public School's Dao-Yi Chow and Maxwell Osborne won the competition last year, and Marc Alary and Los Angeles-based Carlos Obando were runners-up.
Given the "indigo" theme, each of the companies designed with J. Crew a collection that debuted for pre-order Wednesday. Alary created bluebird-accented pieces, including bracelets made from brass, enamel epoxy, leather and glass, priced from $58 to $78, and a graphic white T-shirt for $49.50.
Obando's pieces included a cobalt blue stretch silk georgette blouse tied at the neck for $198, and one of the most striking pieces in the entire collaboration, a mixed-media jumpsuit with a chambray workshirt on top and and a pleated satin-back crepe pant for $498.
Public School also went for juxtaposition of blues, with a faded chambray shirt with a third of the sleeves in a contrasting midnight blue fabric and rib cuffs for $218, plus an edgy menswear-inspired vest in gabardine for $178. Get them before they're gone. Information: jcrew.com.

SC affirms electoral sabotage case vs Arroyo
More News from Tetch Torres-Tupas
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—With a vote of 13-2, the Supreme Court affirmed Tuesday the findings of the Department of Justice-Commission on Elections (DOJ-Comelec) that former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo be prosecuted for electoral sabotage.
The 13 justices are Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno, Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio, Associate Justices Diosdado Peralta, Presbitero Velasco, Lucas Bersamin, Teresita Leonardo De Castro, Bienvenido Reyes, Jose Catral Mendoza, Estela Perlas Bernabe, Jose Perez, Mariano Del Castillo, Marvic Leonen and Martin Villarama.
The two dissenting justices are Associate Justice Arturo Brion and Roberto Abad.
The high court, in its ruling, said Mrs. Arroyo who is now a Pampanga lawmaker already pleaded not guilty to the case that is currently pending with the Pasay City Regional Trial Court.
"The Court took judicial notice that Arroyo not only entered a plea of not guilty, she also filed a motion for bail, which was granted. She benefitted from the RTC order; she has in fact chosen to seek judicial remedy before the RTC where the electoral sabotage case is pending instead of the executive remedy of going back to the Joint Committee for the submission of her counter-affidavit and countervailing evidence," High Court said.
The high court added that the conduct of preliminary investigation against Arroyo was proper because it was done in accordance with the Rules on Criminal Procedure.
"There was no denial of Arroyo's right to due process when her right to inspect documents was denied; the documents she requested were not submitted to the Joint Committee and therefore could not be provided her," the high court said.

I hadn't looked at the price tag before I tried this on and fell in love. Best winter coat. I did a lot of research and tried a less expensive coat but ended up choosing this. Fully to the knee it's incredibly warm and the gore text is great. Black looks more like charcoal. Has kept me incredibly warm all winter. I would definitely recommend. Excellent quality.
I got this parka in Ash Khaki size XS. The color is a gray beige, which I love because browns with a yellow undertones look awful on me. (I'm Asian with fair skin.) I am 115 lbs. and 5' 4" tall, slender build. Fits perfectly, very flattering. The parka is as light as a feather but keeps me warm and the wind out. Also very comfortable and moves with you - I never feel constrained. I can tell a lot of thought went into designing this parka. The price is high, but well worth the investment if you can spend the money. I'll wear it for many years, that's how I justified the purchase. I LOVE IT, and don't want to take it off.
My second Arcteryx jacket. This jacket is super warm. I stood outside on a 15 F day for twenty minutes and not feel cold at all. The color is a little darker than I expected though. But overall, great jacket, great quality.
It's an expensive coat to be sure, but if you can afford it, it's worth it. I tried on tons of coats at the Moosejaw store in Chicago. Most either made me look puffy and huge or had small issues like zippers getting stuck. I love how this jacket is very warm with down, but unlike most coats, it's also water resistant and wind resistant. So far it's been good for when I walk my dog. The hood is perfect too. I love the slim fit. It looks like it would feel stiff and hard to move freely, but somehow the material moves with my body. Glad I purchased this.
Got this for my girlfriend because I've had an Arcteryx Fission jacket for a half-decade and thought she deserved something equally warm and well made. She loves it. Though maybe strange to say about a parka, it looks GOOD on her. The goretex fabric seems superior to my Fission's--resembles trench coat material but is goretex. Kind of classy. Supremely well made. Runs true to size.
I LOVE this coat so much! I always tend to be really cold so I wanted to get a parka that would keep me warm in the winter so that I could keep playing outside when the temperature drops. The Patera does a great job at keeping me warm. The quality of this product is unbeatable, I think it is going to last forever. I am 5'4 and 115 lbs, got the XS (I am always between XS and S in Arc'teryx's products) and it fits great. The parka hits about an inch above my knees. Also, it is way less bulky than many other coats I've tried on so you won't look like a Michelin man :) It looks super stylish and I get compliments on it all the time! It is definitely an expensive piece but I think it's worth every penny.
This is a very classy looking coat. I haven't been able to test it out in REALLY cold weather or wet weather yet, but for crisp early winter days around town, it's been great, if a little too warm.Very flattering cut and tailored looking.Yet to be seen if it's worth the money, but it seems versatile enough that you could get a lot of wear out of it.

Dear international genealogists.
I have created a web site called GENEALOGIA ITALIANA EN VENEZUELA (ITALIAN GENEALOGY IN VENEZUELA) to start a specialized genealogy web site in the country. The site is intended to collect and provide historic data, information and available statistics relevant to the Italian immigration to Venezuela as well as to help Spanish speakers who are working on their Italian genealogy but don't speak English. Mi intention is to make the site a "ONE STOPâ€Â

Learning objectives
- Load the iframe Player API's JavaScript code dynamically.
- Queue up one or more callback functions to be invoked when the iframe Player API has loaded.
- Use the
onYouTubePlayerAPIReadycallback to invoke the queued callback functions.
- Load an embedded YouTube player on the current page and set specific player parameters.
The iframe Player is the preferred method of embedding YouTube videos, and it supports a JavaScript API for creating new embeds on a page. In this sample application, the iframe Player API will load dynamically at runtime, and, once it's available, it will invoke one or more callbacks to insert YouTube embedded players into the current page.
Load the iframe Player API at runtime
YT.Player methods that make up the iframe Player API are defined in a JavaScript file located at
www.youtube.com/player_api. You could statically link to the file with a
<script> tag or load it dynamically when it's needed, as shown in the example below. The most efficient method for your application to retrieve the JavaScript file will depend on your use case.
We recommend that you check to see whether the iframe Player API has loaded by using the following expression:
'YT' in window && 'Player' in window.YT. That expression will evaluate to
true if the iframe Player API is already available, in which case it does not need to be loaded again.
// Dynamic <script> tag insertion will load the iframe Player API on demand. var scriptTag = document.createElement('script'); // This scheme-relative URL will use HTTPS if the host page is accessed via HTTPS, // and HTTP otherwise. scriptTag.src = '//www.youtube.com/player_api'; var firstScriptTag = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; firstScriptTag.parentNode.insertBefore(scriptTag, firstScriptTag);
Queue callbacks to the invoked later
Since the chapter marker player might appear multiple times on a page, we queue up an array of callback functions that are invoked once the
window.onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() function has been called. This works around the asynchronous nature of the JavaScript code while ensuring that each callback is only invoked once.
An anonymous function wraps the call to the
insertPlayerAndAddChapterMarkers(params) function since we don't want to execute the method right away. This technique saves the relevant state information for later execution.
// This code handles the situation where multiple ChapterMarkerPlayer.insert() calls are made // before the iframe Player API has loaded. The code does so by maintaining an array of // functions, each of which adds a specific player and chapters. The functions will be // executed when onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() is invoked by the API. window.ChapterMarkerPlayer.onYouTubePlayerAPIReadyCallbacks.push(function() { insertPlayerAndAddChapterMarkers(params); });
Invoke queued callbacks after the API loads
When the iframe Player API loads, it automatically invokes the
window.onYouTubePlayerAPIReady() function. Once that function is called, your application can safely call the methods exposed in the
YT.Player namespace.
window.onYouTubePlayerAPIReady = function() { for (var i = 0; i < window.ChapterMarkerPlayer.onYouTubePlayerAPIReadyCallbacks.length; i++) { window.ChapterMarkerPlayer.onYouTubePlayerAPIReadyCallbacks[i](); } };
Load a player on the page
Now that
YT.Player is available, the code can create instances of the YouTube player on the page. Various parameters control the player's behavior, but in this example,
videoId is the only required parameter. The other parameters all have default values, though those can be overridden by setting values in the
params.playerOptions object.
// Calls the YT.Player constructor with the appropriate options to add the iframe player // instance to a parent element. // This is a private method that isn't exposed via the ChapterMarkerPlayer namespace. function initializePlayer(containerElement, params) { var playerContainer = document.createElement('div'); containerElement.appendChild(playerContainer); // Attempt to use any custom player options that were passed in via params.playerOptions. // Fall back to reasonable defaults as needed. var playerOptions = params.playerOptions || {}; return new YT.Player(playerContainer, { // Maintain a 16:9 aspect ratio for the player based on the width passed in via params. // Override can be done via params.playerOptions if needed height: playerOptions.height || width * PLAYER_HEIGHT_TO_WIDTH_RATIO + YOUTUBE_CONTROLS_HEIGHT, width: playerOptions.width || width, // Unless playerVars are explicitly provided, use a reasonable default of { autohide: 1 }, // which hides the controls when the mouse isn't over the player. playerVars: playerOptions.playerVars || { autohide: 1 }, videoId: params.videoId, events: { onReady: playerOptions.onReady, onStateChange: playerOptions.onStateChange, onPlaybackQualityChange: playerOptions.onPlaybackQualityChange, onError: playerOptions.onError } }); }

Special operations force makes a rare foray into the spotlight
After tough-guy video games, a bad Charlie Sheen movie and a flood of recent books about the Osama bin Laden mission, Navy SEALs hope to show their true faces in a first-ever sanctioned Hollywood film.
In the name of recruiting, the SEAL command in Coronado approved an action movie starring active-duty SEALs from the Silver Strand. "Act of Valor" will open nationwide Friday.
It's a bold — and in some corners controversial — move for a special operations branch that previously cast itself as the "quiet professionals." Even after East Coast SEALs conducted the mission that killed bin Laden in May, officials who speak for the command wouldn't acknowledge their handiwork.
So why did eight seasoned SEALs agree to put their faces on 3,000 movie screens?
They see it as a chance to paint their own portrait of their work during a decade of war.
"For the small group of us who participated, the recognizable guys in the picture, we thought there was a unique opportunity to tell our story accurately, where it hadn't been done before," said Lt. Cmdr. Rorke Denver, 38, a SEAL officer in the cast.
The Navy's nod to continued anonymity meant use of first names only in the film. SEAL officials also canceled all media interviews scheduled for last week, apparently because of sensitivity from high up. However, distributor Relativity Media released interviews taped with SEALs.
"When everyone was offered the opportunity, we all said no. Not advertising the nature of our work — (that's) in the fabric of our ethos," Denver said, adding that they later agreed to participate after their command embraced the project.
The bullets are real. The backdrop is real, filmed at Coronado Naval Amphibious Base, on Ocean Boulevard in Coronado and at the Imperial Beach pier.
And the vessels are real. The shipboard scenes were filmed on the San Diego-based warship Bonhomme Richard.
Another action sequence uses an operational Navy guided-missile submarine. In one particularly heart-pounding piece of footage, the 500-foot black behemoth surfaces in the middle of the ocean to rendezvous with the team.
Not only do SEALs appear on screen, but most of their real families play themselves.
The movie has delivered a publicity bonanza for the Navy, with SEALs walking red carpets around the country and Navy Leap Frogs parachuting onto Sunset Boulevard last week.
But critical voices have piped up from the military establishment.
A long-retired Army general advised the top U.S. Special Operations Command official to "get the hell out of the media" during a Feb. 7 conference in Washington, D.C.
"One of these days, if you keep publishing how you do this, the other guy's going be there ready for you and you're going to fly in and he's going to shoot down every damn helicopter and kill every one of your SEALs," Lt. Gen. James Vaught told Adm. William McRaven, according to news accounts.
The Pentagon maintained veto power and examined every frame for details that might reveal important tactics, according to producers.

We're going to a cabin in Bandera," I announced. "Uh-oh," said Richard. My husband's lack of enthusiasm was understandable. "Cabin" is as abused in the hospitality trade as "cottage" is in real estate. We've stayed in windowless storage sheds, unheated shacks with box springs for mattresses, and noisy fourplexes, all masquerading in print as cabins. But the constant traveler is nothing if not blindly optimistic, so I set out with hope in my heart. Richard, however, remained doubtful.
The last time I was in Bandera was a couple of years ago, when I was researching an article on dude ranches. Now, dude ranches have their fans—midsized children, for example—but except for a select few, they generally violate the Truth in Brochure rule with abandon. If it's run-down and uncomfortable, it's "rustic." If it has two cows on fifty acres, it's a "workin' ranch." If it serves up vats of cheap patty sausage, canned peaches, and runny scrambled eggs, it's giving you a "cowboy breakfast." But I love the land around Bandera, with its dramatic hills and cypress-lined waterways, so I picked this piece of the Hill Country for my springtime escape. Let the rest of Texas strike out for more-bluebonnet-saturated destinations like Brenham and Llano, where they can watch women, babies, and dogs frolic in the roadside flowers as shutters click; I prefer my wildflowers less peopled.
So we set out for the Hill Country Equestrian Lodge, a 275-acre ranch ten minutes outside Bandera. Our little house, the Lovett cabin, came with the requisite front-porch-with-a-view and stand-alone seclusion this pretend pioneer craves—and the central air and heat, spotless baths, and comfy bed this tenderfoot shamelessly requires. There was wood in the fireplace and the appliance-filled kitchen was stocked with breakfast goodies like bacon, eggs, cereal, fruit, and coffee. The decor was simple: natural pine furniture, quilts, little piles of fossils from the ranch on the mantel, and a refreshing absence of those demanding signs that are often plastered on cabin walls and make me feel as if I'm in juvenile detention: "Don't Leave the Fire Unattended!" "Don't Flush Stuffed Animals Down the Toilet!" "All Dishes Must Be Washed and Replaced Precisely in the Cabinet or You'll Spend a Day in the Hole!" The ranch itself was also delightfully free of gift shops, arcade games, Olympic pools, tennis courts, and vapor lights.
The Lovett cabin is tucked into a grove of ancient live oaks within shouting distance of two other cabins, whose presence was oddly reassuring rather than intrusive—especially since they remained vacant during our visit. (I do think that sharing one of the lodge's two duplex cabins with strangers, rather than friends or family, would be intrusive.) "I wanted the cabins to feel private but still relate to each other, like a little village," says Dianne Tobin, who owns the lodge with her partner, Peter Lovett. Although the cedar cabins are just over a year old, their historic-atmosphere quotient is high, thanks to their limestone chimneys and high-pitched metal roofs, their underground utilities, and the nearby hundred-year-old ranch house that Tobin and Lovett call home. For Tobin, a Bandera native who returned after eight years of exile in Dallas, owning a ranch, working with horses, and making a living from the combination is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. For Lovett, who grew up on the East Coast, the business is a welcome change from his former career as an actor and location scout. Both are happy to cater to your every whim or leave you the hell alone, whichever you want.
The ranch, in a valley so picturesque it seems digitally enhanced, is snuggled up against the northeastern border of the Hill Country State Natural Area, 5,400 rugged acres crisscrossed with nearly forty miles of trails. Tobin, who has trained and shown horses for thirty years, took Richard and me on a two-hour horseback ride into the park (by way of the ranch's handy-dandy private entrance). This was not the nose-to-tail trudge typically served up at guest ranches. I was actually riding the quarterhorse Impressive Identity, a grandson of a national halter champion, not just hanging on to the saddle horn. I shifted my weight on steep slopes, kept my calves close to his sides, and at Tobin's suggestion, tried to learn how to "collect" the horse when he trotted, signaling him with the reins to bring his back up to meet my rear. (The subtlety of the technique was lost on me. Maybe I ought to enroll in Tobin's Whole Horsemanship Program, a clinic that teaches riders such skills as how to develop a "good seat" using balance and proper posture.)
But horseplay isn't the only game around. Hikers and mountain bikers who want to rough it in the natural area by day, then retire in civilized comfort by night, should seek shelter here. They can soak away their muscles' memories of the ascent up Ice Cream Hill in the whirlpool spa at the foot of the old windmill. And birders should take their binoculars. On a quick morning walk through the back section of the ranch, I saw eastern bluebirds, a golden-fronted woodpecker (I think), a pair of red-tailed hawks, and many of the usual suspects—cardinals, titmice, mockingbirds. Tobin has spotted painted buntings, eastern phoebes, and vermilion flycatchers over the past year.
When it comes to cabins, I've discovered that there's a fine line between seclusion (desirable) and isolation (undesirable, unless you're the Unabomber). This distinction hit me one night when I was staying alone in a cabin at a far-flung state park, without the company of a radio, TV, telephone, or good book. The closest outpost of civilization was a sinister convenience store forty minutes away that was staffed by the supporting cast of Deliverance. Throughout the lonely evening, I kept visiting the park's unmanned entrance booth to stare at the glowing soft drink vending machine, which, I'm embarrassed to admit, was comforting. But the Lovett cabin passed my Goldilocks Proximity Test with flying colors—not too close to Bandera, not too

Apple Back-to-School promo to offer free 8GB iPod touchApple on Tuesday will formally announce details of its 2008 Back-to-School promotion, which will offer a free 8GB iPod touch to students who purchase a qualifying Mac.
People briefed on the promotion Monday confirm that this year's incentives will be the electronics maker's most compelling ever, offering a rebate good for a $299 8GB iPod touch, as was first reported by AppleInsider last week.
"We've already ordered lots of iPod touches to be ready for [this] week," said one person familiar with the promotion. That person added that students will also have the option to apply the $299 credit towards the purchase of a higher capacity player, namely the $399 16GB iPod touch or a $499 32 GB iPod touch.
MacRumors is also confirming that a free 8GB iPod touch will be the highlight of the promotion, adding that students could alternatively elect to receive a $199 iPod nano for whatever reason.
The largest incentive previously offered by Apple came last year in the form of a free $199 4G iPod nano. However, the company was motivated this year to boost the value to the equivalent of its cheapest iPod touch as a surefire means to rapidly grow the install base of its multi-touch platform ahead of this month's App Store launch. The more iPhones and iPod touches in the hands of consumers, the larger the target audience for third party application developers.
In order to participate in the program, students will need to purchase a qualifying Mac — MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, or Mac Pro — at the same time they purchase the 8GB iPod touch. Educational discounts are also applied as part of the promotion, reducing costs even further.
Official details are expected on Tuesday (tomorrow) morning. Previous Back-to-School promotions have run through the first half of September.
Update: The promo has now been announced.
On Topic: iPod
- Apple's dwindling iPod lineup to see long-awaited refresh this year
- Chess grandmaster hid an iPod touch in the bathroom to cheat during tournaments

Judicial activism occurs when judges write subjective policy preferences into the law rather than apply the law impartially according to its original meaning. As such, activism does not mean the mere act of striking down a law.
Asked to address the issue of abortion again, the Supreme Court by a vote of 5-4 affirmed its 1973 decision of Roe v. Wade, which established a constitutional right to abortion under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, albeit based on different reasoning. Explaining that this "substantive due process" right is found in the concept of "individual liberty" within the Due Process Clause, the Court infamously declared in the so-called "mystery clause": "At the heart of liberty is the right to define one's own concept of existence, of meaning, of the universe, and of the mystery of human life."
The Court's affirmation of Roe was based almost entirely on the doctrine of stare decisis—adherence to precedent. The majority opinion, authored by Justices O'Connor, Kennedy, and Souter, explained that Roe should not be overturned because a case should only be reversed if there is a "special reason over and above the belief that a prior case was wrongly decided." But Casey applied stare decisis only to the broad outcome in Roe, not the reasoning.
The Court rejected Roe's trimester framework and adopted an "undue burden" standard to determine whether a law violates a woman's right to abortion. The Court used this standard to strike down the spousal notification requirement of the Pennsylvania statute being addressed.
The activist nature of this case is so far-reaching that it encompasses both a staggering misinterpretation of constitutional terms and a flagrant disregard of the Court's proper role.
First, the case is activist because the judges relied upon notions of living constitutionalism to read broad constitutional terms divorced from any textual or originalist moorings, thereby making them empty vessels into which they can pour any policy preferences they desire. The doctrine of "substantive due process" cited in Casey has been known as the "judicial wildcard" for this very reason. Here, the Court invented a definition for Due Process "liberty" out of whole cloth, without even thinking it necessary to connect this unprecedented definition with any history, law, or reasoned justification. The so-called "mystery clause" from the Casey decision has unfortunately been cited in many later activist cases.
The case is also activist because the majority's actions amount to judicial imperialism, expanding the judiciary beyond its constitutional limits. The judges clearly engaged in judicial hubris, making claims of judicial supremacy by declaring that the Court has the authority to "decide" for the American people "their constitutional cases and speak before all others for their constitutional ideals." In the face of an onslaught of criticism of Roe from the American public, the Court audaciously demands silence by refusing to reconsider the case on its merits under the veil of respect for precedent, even though the judges themselves seem to suggest that the reasoning in Roe was dubious: "the reservations any of us may have in reaffirming the central holding of Roe are outweighed by the explication of individual liberty we have given combined with the force of stare decisis."
Though stare decisis is important to consider when addressing cases that have developed settled doctrines over time, this is clearly not such a case. Roe was decided only nineteen years prior to Casey, and legal scholars across the political spectrum, including many who consider themselves pro-abortion, continue to decry Roe as one of the worst cases of all time. One would think that this would be enough of a "special reason" to reconsider the case according to its merits.
In this case, stare decisis was essentially used as a tool to abuse precedent: expanding on a prior error of the Court. This is evident in that the Court threw out the reasoning of Roe, yet still found that they were bound by stare decisis. The Court's abuse of stare decisis not only reinforced the error that is Roe v. Wade, but it also left Supreme Court jurisprudence with the most confusing and misguided concept of Due Process liberty to date: the Casey "mystery" clause.

I'm not exactly super clear on the mouse theme behind this i-D magazine photoshoot. I'm guessing it's something to do with Miley's latest crazy, but I'm not quite sure. I do know this, it features a fine topless photo of uber-sextastic Candice Swanepoel, which means all other questions are rendered somewhat moot.
Topless Candice Swanepoel makes everything better. If broccoli had come with topless Candice I would have eaten it as a child. If topless Candice awaited me at the dentists office, I'd schedule back to back completely unnecessary root canals. She really is the cure-all, and daddy needs a little taste of his medicine. Yes, that does sound creepy. Enjoy.

Hot-starting Lascuña now up by 5
CARMONA, Cavite—Antonio Lascuña clustered five straight birdies from the first hole yesterday on the way to a five-under-par 67 and zoomed to a five-stroke lead over three dangerous bidders heading into the final round of the P2.5-million ICTSI Manila Southwoods Championship.
Lascuña made the turn at 30 before slowing down on his final nine holes for a 54-hole aggregate of 199 and a comfortable buffer on the trio of Miguel Tabuena, Rufino Bayron and former Philippine Open champion Cassius Casas.
Tabuena also fired a 67, Bayron shot a 69 and Casas turned in another solid 70 as they kept a mathematical chance of turning the tables on Lascuña and spoiling his repeat bid.
"The only advantage I have is that I have the lead," said Lascuña, who won this event over the long-hitting Angelo Que at the adjacent Masters layout last year, in Filipino. "I'll just play my usual game and see what happens."
The 44-year-old Davaoeño canned his sixth birdie on the front nine on the par-5 eighth before dropping his first shot on the 11th, where he hit a wayward drive and found the fairway bunker. He had another birdie and a second bogey the rest of the way.
Should Lascuña complete a coast-to-coast win today, it will snap a string of five close calls since May, after he won the Calatagan stop in Batangas.
Tabuena was flawless in a 33-34 card, while Bayron, seeking his first win as a pro, mixed six birdies with three bogeys to blow into contention.
Casas, meanwhile, bucked a double bogey-6 start and went on to post nines of 35-35. He has broken par in each of the first three rounds.
Journeyman Orlan Sumcad fired a 66 and Jonel Ababa assembled a 67 to share fifth spot at 205, six shots off Lascuña, with Mars Pucay shooting a 67 to be another stroke back.
The legendary Frankie Miñoza and fellow former PH Open champions Elmer Salvador and Gerald Rosales all submitted 68s to be at 207, all needing a super low round today to secure a top-three finish.
Other backers of the event, organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments Inc., are Nike Golf, Srixon, Custom Clubmakers, Pacsports, Cleveland Golf, Callaway, Ping, Mizuno, Empire Golf and Sports Shop, FootJoy, Titleist, Sharp, BMW and Gergia Energy Foods.

Businesses Face Health Care Dilemma; Teamsters Win Another Round
Health care costs are expected to increase 15% in 2003, after a 13% increase in 2002 and an 11% increase in 2001. Companies that have reached a breaking point in terms of employer-provided benefits argue that either the type of insurance coverage or the types of covered services must change.
Anticipated future trends include higher charges for hospital care, increased prescription drug costs, continued nursing shortages, and more doctors refusing to perform surgeries due to skyrocketing medical malpractice insurance costs.
In addition to increasing the employee share of health insurance and increasing employee co-pay amounts, companies are seeking more creative means of dealing with the crisis while still offering benefits to employees. Options include more self-insurance plans, medical savings accounts, and previously unrelated groups banding together to cut the cost of group insurance plans.
Forbes Magazine reports that some companies are reluctant to hire new employees because of the cost of benefits. Temporary employees offer an alternative to hiring full time employees who receive a full benefit package.
Experts foresee a trend toward offering variable health insurance coverage based on how well plan participants take care of themselves. A recent story in The Tampa Tribune [2] reported on the possibility of insurers, doctors, and hospitals "offering additionally discounted rates to those who can prove they have changed their behavior to exercise regularly, give up smoking and excessive drinking and avoid automobile accidents. Obesity, tobacco, alcohol and speed are among the leading causes of increased health care costs."

Yesterday's clash between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid was touted to be a clash of the titans. As it turned out, it was anything but that. Real Madrid destroyed Bayern with a score of 0-4 with a fine display of counter attacking football. A brace from set pieces by defender Sergio Ramos set Madrid on their way in the 2nd leg of the semi-final and 2 counter attacking goals by Christiano Ronaldo were the icing on the cake.
Bayern have been the tournament favourites since it began but they have failed to sizzle in the tournament, managing to scrape through against an underperforming Manchester United and finally capitulating to a quick yet determined Real Madrid side. Pep Guardiola has already underperformed with respect to the last season where Bayern won the Treble. Although Bayern have won the Bundesliga and the Cup, their failure in the Champions league cannot be overlooked. One dimensional play and absence of a Plan B can be attributed to their failure this season.
On the other hand where it was despair for Bayern, it was delight for Real Madrid. It was a perfectly executed plan by Carlo Ancelotti, underlining his tactical acumen. Real Madrid never attempted to dominate possession, they let Bayern do that and ensured that they were clinical on the set pieces and counter attacks. Their defensive set up didn't give Bayern any spaces and their back 4 had a brilliant night. Coentrao, although hardly ever mentioned was very effective against the attacking threat of Arjen Robben and Frank Ribery. Real Madrid were the better team on the night and deserve to be in the final.
Would this be the end of Real Madrid's wait for 'La Decima'? Awaiting them in the final would be either Atletico Madrid or Chelsea. Atletico have beaten Real Madrid this season and are capable of defeating anyone on the night, whereas Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho knows this Real Madrid team inside out from his spell at Real Madrid last year which ended in an acrimonious fashion. Whatever the situation be, this would be Real Madrid's best chance to win the Champions League in the last decade and complete the 'La Decima' and end their 12 year long wait for the 10th Champions League title.

He may not have been the greatest jazz musician to emerge from rural America -- Dave Brubeck grew up as a cowboy in California, after all -- but Shank proved that cultural origins matter little when someone is talented, determined and eager to learn.
Shank was a jazz saxophonist of the first rank who helped define the much-maligned cool jazz" of the West Coast in the 1950s. (Here's a great example of his style at the time, 1954's brilliant Cool Fool.") But Shank was hardly cool" and laidback -- or at least not always -- in his approach to music. If you don't believe me, check out this opening scene from the 1958 cult classic movie I Want to Live!," starring Susan Hayward as a wicked woman. Shank is the alto saxophone player who is seen mostly nodding his head as Gerry Mulligan and Art Farmer play some incredibly swinging music.
He discovered Brazilian music a decade before it was popularized in this country by Stan Getz and D.C.'s own Charlie Byrd and can be heard on this ultra-cool recording from 1963 with pianist Clare Fischer.

Bank of America Foundation Donation to Help CFCC Students Afford Employability Certifications
Bank of America Foundation recently donated $3,000 to increase the employability of students enrolled in Cape Fear Community College Business Technology Programs and the Career Readiness Certificate program. The funds will help low to moderate-income students living in New Hanover and Pender Counties achieve industry certifications needed for employment.
Sixty-five percent of students who successfully complete the coursework in one program area in Business Technology Programs are unable to pay for their certification examinations. Industry certifications give students a marketability edge and increase their chances of employment.
Melissa Watson, the Chair of the Business Technology Department, said, "These highly regarded certifications enhance our students' employability considering our area's competitive job outlook."
The Career Readiness Certificate attests that applicants have passed an ACT exam displaying business proficiency in reading, applied math and logic, skill sets required for jobs at various levels and in many fields. The certificate is recognized nationally and in the state of North Carolina as a valuable hiring tool.
Bank of America is committed to helping develop strong leaders in communities, whether is it through corporate, public, or the nonprofit sectors. "Our programs help support individuals and nonprofits, which ultimately leads to economic advancement in communities both large and small."

Web Copywriter and Content Strategist
United States - Last active: 1 month ago - Tests: 2 - Portfolio: 8
***About Me***_______________________________________________________________ I specialize in one thing and one thing only: writing personality-packed, research-based copy that gets you results online. Currently, I work full-time at Rocket Media, a web design + internet marketing agency (http://rocketmedia.com/). Over the past few years, I've written online content for dozens of our clients in a punctual, professional manner. For what it's worth: I have a B.A in Communications and an M.B.A focused in marketing. So, yeah, I work hard. ***What I can wordsmith for you***_______________________________________________ *Website content (home page, about us page, product pages, etc) *Landing pages *Email newsletters *Blog Articles *Ebooks *Case studies *Social media contest copy *PPC and Social Ads *Transactional emails *Email automation workflows Note: If you need me to work with a team, I have experience working with web designers and developers to write copy for responsive website redesigns. ***How we'll work wonderfully together***______________________________________________ Any writer can say they're professional, so let me show you that I am by explaining the best way we can work together. (Note: Obviously this process can change depending on the work—especially for smaller projects—but it's a good starting point). *Step 1: One FREE 1-hour call* Before you commit to hiring me, we can talk in more detail about your project, including: *What your big goals are (web copy is merely the means to a larger end) *What your current problems are *What results do you want to get out of my services (dolla dolla bill, y'all!) *More about you and your target audience Hit me up on Skype to chat about these details. After the call, I'll detail a scope of work, time needed to complete the work and pricing. If we jive, then it's on to... *Step 2: Deep dive research* Feeling comfy enough to hire me? Good. All good copy is research-based copy. So at this point I'll uncover more about: *Who you—or your brand— are so that I can write in your tone of voice *Your products and services, so I can uncover their features and benefits *The specifics of your target audience, using the right tools and online research methods (how deep I go here depends on how well you know your audience and your budget) *Step 3: Create a strategy and/or needed deliverables* Once I've gather enough information, I'll create a plan of attack and/or review deliverables with you. These can include: *Target audience personas *Voice and tone guides *Email workflow overview *Editorial calendars (for articles and newsletters) This will get you and I on the same page before I write a word. *Step 4: I write; you review* Self explanatory. You'll receive a copy deck to review, and we'll hash it out cage-match style. *Step 5: Measure and adjust* If we're working together on an on-going project and I have access to analytics of any sort, I'll use what I learn from that to alter the copy or adjust how I writer for the next assignment. Step 6: You and I party and leave each other 5-star reviews. Because, in the end, we should enjoy life. :) Sound good? Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

The stresses in life can lead to all sorts of meltdowns, including that awkward one in the grocery store where you clutch unripe bananas and scream at confused bystanders. Say goodbye to nervous breakdowns and relax with today's Groupon: save up to 70% on two, four or six sessions of health massages and wraps at Shakti Body and Laser Clinic.
Pay R499 for two sessions of health massages and wraps, valued at R1050
Pay R799 for four sessions of health massages and wraps, valued at R2050
Pay R899 for six sessions of health massages and wraps, valued at R3050
Let the friendly and professional staff at Shakti Body and Laser Clinic restore your bodies balance and elevate your self-esteem with a number of soul replenishing treatments. Shakti, which means 'divine female force' was started as a result of its founders wanting to empower their guests by offering them safe and effective treatments to aid in keeping healthy, losing weight and improving appearance.
Wraps and massages are a great way to restore your body's natural glow and they're much easier than making a Pro-Nutro-yogurt concoction and smearing it over your body, or inventing a synthetic hand to rub your own back. Whether you desire a Detox body wrap to cleanse your insides, a Cellulite body wrap to pull out toxins and reduce fat or even a Muscle Ease body wrap for aching muscles and joints, let the capable hands of the Shakti staff cater to your every whim.
The massage options are just as exciting and even more relaxing, whether you want a Detox, Hot Stone or their signature Shakti massage. Each massage is unique, but the rhythmic and flowing movements of all of them are helpful in ridding the body of toxins, reducing stress and improving general well-being and mood. The Shakti massage begins with a foot cleansing ritual to reduce stress, while the Detox massage is more helpful in eliminating metabolic waste products, excess fluid and bacteria, whereas the well-known Hot Stone massage will help to improve circulation, remove waste products and break down fatty deposits.

The vet left me alone in the room with Annie and I asked her, "Are you ready to go?" She kissed me as I spoke. She was tired. She lay in my arms, kissing my face so gently.
