BRIAN: Broncos 35, Seahawks 23
Best case scenario for Seattle's top-ranked defense: it keeps Peyton Manning and Denver to less than 30 points. It's inconceivable that the highest-scoring team in NFL history records fewer than one touchdown per quarter. As stingy as Richard Sherman and the Seahawks' D has been, it's nothing Manning hasn't seen before.
So, if the Broncos top out at, say, 28 points, can Seattle score into the 30s? Negative. Where is the offense going to come from?
Russell Wilson is a capable game manager who can run a little; although he was sacked 44 times in the regular season, third most in the league, and he's been taken down for a playoff-high seven sacks.
Marshawn Lynch is a beast, and he'll be the best running back on the field Sunday. But it will take more than Lynch to upstage the Broncos.
The Seahawks' wide receivers are a model of mediocrity. Someone named Doug Baldwin is their second-best healthy wideout, with 50 receptions. I'll believe Percy Harvin is a threat if, and when, he steps onto the New Jersey tundra.
The last six games, Seattle hasn't topped 23 points. The Seahawks most prolific offensive displays this season were against Jacksonville in Week 3 (45-17) and Minnesota (41-20) in Week 11. Me, Tom Russo and nine GYFLers could score at least once against either of those teams — and Russo is pushing 70.
Manning earns his second Super Bowl ring going away. Too bad the Colts didn't keep him around.
Speaking of Manning, there were plenty of No. 18 jerseys visible on TV the other night for the Indiana Pacers' road game at the Denver Nuggets. New Palestine's Matt Hayden got lots of love from the Pacers' FoxSports Indiana broadcast crew of Chris Denari and Quinn Buckner. Hayden has been on TV frequently as an official member of the Pacers' bench staff at home games, supplying drinks and towels to the players, among other duties. But this time, the camera zoomed in on Hayden sitting in the stands (taking in the game while visiting family in the Denver area) and Denari and Buckner mentioned what a great guy Hayden is, and all of the good work he does for the team.
Neat stuff. Reminded me of the previous incident of New Palestine making "national" news. Two years ago — Jan. 20, 2012 — Pacers mascot Boomer felined its way into Hancock County for a halftime dunking performance as the Dragons hosted Triton Central. Using one of those mini, one-person trampoline deals, Boomer soared into the air and followed through on a two-handed jam — and shattered the backboard. It made ESPN's Sportscenter that night. The game was continued in the auxiliary gym, and Boomer and Pacers staff returned to New Palestine the following Monday to replace the backboard, at the Pacers' expense.

The Cold War witnessed the United States and the Soviet Union competing to dominate outer space with the same intensity as their earthly contests. Each people's scientific gains were looked upon as proof of the superiority of their way of life. The Soviet Union's successful launching of its Sputnik satellite initiated America's frantic quest for the technology to overcome their perceived slow start. This monumental effort produced some of the most tragic and heroic moments of contemporary American history.
Since President Dwight D. Eisenhower tackled questions about why America was not the first nation in space, the president has orchestrated America's "space race." Many critical decisions about what the United States wanted to accomplish with this bold and expensive program were made at the White House. At the same time, the White House was a stage to honor a new breed of hero: the American astronaut. Competition between superpowers spurred space exploration, but scientific inquiry sustained it. Mercury, Apollo, Challenger and Pathfinder symbolize America's boundless thirst for knowledge.

Started more than seven years ago, the event now claims to be the industry's most international shindig, and now it's about to see its first spin-off, to be held in London next month.
But when I spoke to Le Meur a couple of days ago, he admitted to me that just a few months back it wasn't the English Channel he wanted to cross with LeWeb — it was the Atlantic. He'd just started exploring the idea of starting a LeWeb for the Bay Area, where he has lived for the past five years.

As of Monday, November 7, 2011

Conyers Down goes Clarke Central.
Ryan Sutton's two-yard touchdown pass to tight end Chase Alford with six minutes left in the fourth quarter was the difference as Heritage upset Class AAAA No. 10 Clarke Central 21-14 in Conyers.
Heritage (2-0) trailed 14-0 after the first two quarters, but the second half was a different story.
On the Patriots' second offensive possession of the third quarter, the hosts used a bit of trickery to end Clarke's shut out bid. Quami Stanley took a pitch from quarterback Ryan Sutton and dropped back to pass, finding a wide open Steven Everson for a 24-yard touchdown.
Later in the quarter, Dominic Craft had a 26-yard run and Stanley's 36-yard scamper got the Patriots deep in Clarke territory, and Stanley not only capped the drive with a 12-yard touchdown burst, but rumbled for the two-point conversion to tie the game at 14-14.
Heritage looked poised to take its first lead of the game early in the fourth, but a long drive was stymied by the Clarke defense when Stanley could only collect four yards on four carries inside the Gladiators' five-yard line.
The euphoria for Clarke didn't last long. Heritage's switch to a play-action passing game, which coach Chad Frazier said was an adjustment he and his coaching staff made at halftime, worked like a charm mid-way through the fourth as Sutton found Stanley for a 74-yard touchdown strike. Stanley appeared to have snuck in the end zone, but was instead ruled out at the three.
"I swore I scored," Stanley said afterward.
Two plays later, Sutton's play action pass freed up tight end Chase Alford and the two connected on a two-yard touchdown to give the Patriots the lead for good at 21-14. The Patriots' win, the first against Clarke Central since 2006, snapped a four-game losing streak in the series.
"It was amazing," said Alford, who also stars on the Heritage defense. "First time in I don't know how many years (beating Clarke). Best feeling of my life right there."
"Top-notch program like Clarke, one of the elite teams in the state. I would say yes," Frazier said when asked if it was his biggest win in five seasons as Heritage coach. "I'm so happy for these kids. It's a great feeling."
The Heritage defense, opportunistic early in last week's win over Salem, had the same kind of luck early on Friday. Clarke lined up for a potential 35-yard field goal by Noah Welch, but Ryan Watson broke through and blocked the kick. The Patriots offense wasted no time getting down field as Sutton found Stanley streaking down the sideline, and Stanley made a nice stutter step move to avoid a defender and was wrestled down after a 47-yard completion. Heritage's kicking game failed it as well as Chris Raines was wide right on a 33-yard attempt.
After a scoreless first quarter, the visitors jumped on mid-way through the second. Unlike Heritage, Clarke took advantage of the missed field goal, marching 84 yards in 11 plays and taking the first lead of the game at 7-0 on Marquez Williams' three-yard touchdown run with 8:28 left until halftime. Sutton's ill-advised pass was intercepted by Dreko Statham and the Clarke defensive back returned it untouched for a 41-yard score that made it a 14-0 game.
In the first 24 minutes, Clarke's defense stifled the Heritage ground attack, which ate up the Salem defense a week ago, holding the Patriots to less than three yards per carry.
Stanley, who ran for 196 yards in week one against Salem, had another outstanding game, collecting 250 all-purpose yards.

Natural bridges have been found on the moon for the first time in images taken by a high-resolution camera aboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Students scrutinising the camera's images have spotted two natural bridges on the moon's far side. The larger bridge measures 20 metres long and 7 metres wide, while its smaller neighbour is about half that size.
Unlike natural bridges on Earth, which form largely by erosion from wind and water, these lunar bridges probably formed as a result of an impact in the last billion years, says Mark Robinson, a planetary geologist at Arizona State University in Tempe and principal investigator for LRO's camera.
The impact melted the surface that it hit and gouged out a 77-kilometre-wide basin known as King crater. Some of the melted rock splashed over the crater's rim, forming a fiery pool of liquid 17 kilometres across just outside the crater's northwest rim.
Like the skin that forms on top of cooked pudding, the surface of this "melt pond" formed a crust as it cooled, while the interior remained molten for longer. As the ground shifted after the impact, the molten interior likely flowed downhill, leaving behind unsupported crust that collapsed in two places, creating a natural bridge.
The rocky arches are probably strong enough to support an astronaut, Robinson says, but since the US no longer aims to return people to the moon, it may be a while before we know for sure. "If you can arrange for me to go, I would be delighted to go test its strength out," he says. "I would walk out and jump on it."

The movie "Hereafter" is a story about three people who are touched by death in different ways. George (Matt Damon) is a blue-collar American who has a special connection to the afterlife. On the other side of the world, Marie (Cecile De France), a French journalist, has a near-death experience that shakes her reality. And when Marcus (Jay Mohr), a London schoolboy, loses the person closest to him, he desperately needs answers. Each on a path in search of the truth, their lives will forever changed by what they believe might--or must--exist in the hereafter.
Within days of the movie Hereafter coming out, I got calls from friends asking me
what my thoughts were about the movie. Immediately after one of the calls, I jumped in my car and drove to a local theatre. Just the sound of the title HEREAFTER sounds like it might be give the viewer a metaphysically minded experience. The Director is Clint Eastwood, typically known for quality films. It was nice and surprising to hear that he was taking on a topic that is very personal to most people yet hardly ever talked about. I was hoping the movie would provoke a discussion about death and what happens when we die. I strongly feel that by the end of this century--the Age of Energy, the science community will be able to explain the process of death and what happens when we move from a physical energetic state to a non-physical state of being. Why all the mystery really? It's like the world is still flat when it comes to the concept of death/transition. I suppose we don't hear about the real experimentation taking place on this topic, because there's no money to be made by drug companies for the discovery. Thus we wait.
As the intro says, the movie is split into three distinctively separate stories with people in the U.S, France and the UK. I had to wonder while I was watching the movie if this was purposely written to attract and market to an international audience. At the end, their lives intersect. The movie moves slowly but has some great photography when it comes to the French Journalist's experience with death. Her dramatic scene is interesting to watch but not believable--but then we want to be entertained, right?
If you're looking for a mediumship display reminiscent of John Edward or Suzanne Northrup, you might be disappointed. There's not a whole lotta metaphysical moving and shaking. It's more a movie of going within rather than a smoke and mirrors metaphysical experience.
All in all, I would say it's worthy of seeing. It's not a great date flick but if you're like me and like to experience someone else's story, then you might enjoy the experience.
I have to say that I didn't feel satisfied with the ending. I thought the movie began when it ended. It's like an author giving you the background of the characters in a story then ending the book before they've had a chance to do anything together. It left me wanting to see Hereafter II to see what happens next and how the story progresses.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsFeatured Vehicles
1963 Shelby Cobra Behind the Wheel - Shelbys for Sale
We get behind the wheel of some genuine classic Fords before they go to auction with Auctions America.
Number 260
After having my world turned upside down by the Cobra, Auctions America Car Specialist Megan Boyd tossed me the keys to a '65 Shelby GT-350, and said "Let's go!" She jumped in the passenger seat, took a photo of me in the driver's seat with my phone, and we were off. As we cruised over the same pavement that I just pounded with the Cobra, there was no need to remind myself that I was driving an original Shelby GT-350.
Much less of a sports car, and very much a ponycar, Number 260 was still very much Shelby. It rumbled very much like the Cobra, but drove more like a Mustang. In Wimbledon White with blue LeMans stripes, it kept reminding me of its history and its stature. I could see the hoodscoop and hood pins as I looked ahead, and all was right with the world.
With the windows down, I could hear the side pipes scream out a glorious tune. As I pressed it harder and harder, I began pushing the old Snake to the edge of traction. It certainly didn't drive like the Shelby's of today, especially with the bias-ply rubber; but what it lacked in poise, it more than made up for in character and styling. This was the real deal, and it wasn't ashamed of it.
Like A Boss
Finally, I slid behind the wheel of an all-original '70 Boss 302. The Bright Gold hue is original, and is showing its age. The interior remains untouched, as does the engine bay. As I settled into the high-back seat, I noticed the Hurst shifter, original AM radio, and period-correct Sun tach. I felt like a boss just sitting behind the wheel in the parking space.
The engine ran like new, and the odometer registers just over 36,000 miles. As I drove the 3,300-pound beast, I noticed immediately the strides in suspension and chassis technology over the '65, though the bias-ply's remained the limiting factor. The Boss is a legendary Mustang, and Auctions America thinks this one will bring between $40,000-$50,000—not bad for a piece of automotive history.
Hopefully, Auctions American will give us the chance to do this again, but if not, no no will ever take away the experience. The auction will be held at the Broward County Convention Center March 14-16, 2014. For more information, go to www.auctionsamerica.com.

Exploring the Benefits of Renting a Car in Europe
From the soaring spire of the Eiffel Tower to the charming, cobble-stoned streets of Rome, Europe is home to some of the world's most spectacular destinations.
Visitors voyaging to these sensational locales are treated to one of the most incredible experiences on the planet. While its easy to get lost in the fairy tale of a European vacation, however, it is vitally important to keep practical matters in mind when traveling abroad.
One important example is renting a car with Sixt, a vacation staple that is sometimes overlooked.
Norway Drunk Driving Limit: 20mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
Toll fees can add up in Norway; if you're traveling on a tight budget be prepared to take much longer as you will have to avoid Highways, bridges and tunnels
Ireland Alcohol Driving Limit: 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
Drive slowly when out of town, especially during lambing season. Sheep with suicidal tendencies commonly throw themselves in front of unsuspecting traffic
Denmark Alcohol Driving Limit: 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
Sidewalk safety is held with such high regard in Denmark, pedestrians have been actively encouraged to wear 'walking helmets'
Czech Alcohol Driving Limit: 35mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
Keep your wits about you - many drivers don't bother with indication, stopping at T-junctions is an inconvenience and there's a relaxed approach to giving way
Austria Alcohol Driving Limit: 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
A 'Toll Sticker' is required for any vehicle traveling on the Highway in Austria. These cost from 8 Euros for a ten day pass
Netherlands Alcohol Driving Limit: 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
Watch out for trams in Amsterdam. To avoid your car becoming an unwelcome bumper decoration ensure you always give way to trams
Swiss Alcohol Driving Limit: 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
Watching your speed requires military precision; just 5kmp/h excess speed can result in an immediate fine
Sweden Alcohol Driving Limit: 20mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
Sweden is the birthplace of the 'Scandinavian flick' - a rally technique we would rather you didn't practice in our hire vehicles
Poland Alcohol Driving Limit: 20mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
Poland suffers a road death rate 3 times that of the UK - it might be wise to take it easy when driving
Spain Alcohol Driving Limit: 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
On the spot tickets are common place; keep to the speed limits or you'll be spending your sangria budget on tickets
Italy Alcohol Driving Limit: 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
Basic safety is not included in the Italian driving test; if you can't handle agressive driving it might be best to stick with other modes of transport
Germany Alcohol Driving Limit: 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
Take heed; don't wash your car in the street on Sundays - it's illegal!
France Alcohol Driving Limit: 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
Be careful when braking suddenly - French drivers don't believe in leaving a suitable 'breaking distance'
UK Alcohol Driving Limit: 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
New drivers of a nervous disposition carry a green P sign - avoid them at all costs!
Croatia Alcohol Driving Limit: 0mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
The Dalmatian coast line provides some of Europe's best and most scenic driving roads. Contrary to what many people think, Croatia is a very safe country to visit and travel through.
Cyprus Alcohol Driving Limit: 22mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
The Republic of Cyprus has never published a Highway Code – it's still in the draft stages.
Portugal Alcohol Driving Limit: 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood
People rave about the danger of driving in Portugal – try driving in Italy to gain some perspective!
FCO travel alerts:
Considering Europe Car Rental with Sixt
With well-developed public transit systems and walkable city streets, many tourists mistakenly forgo a car rental in Europe. In fact, renting a car in Europe is the easiest and most convenient way to see the best of the continent.
Many European transit systems are crowded and outdated, meaning travelers end up wasting long periods of time waiting for trains and booking tickets. Furthermore, rural areas are nearly impossible to see up close and personal without rental cars in Europe from Sixt.

Tami Sasporta wants every Ugandan woman with a sense of style to experience the feeling of wearing nice original Israeli jewellery. At her shop in Bugolobi at Gatto Matto, everything appears perfectly set.
The interior of the shop is a real delight to the eye. Everything is well- decorated. In the middle are white cushioned sofas supplemented by sweets and cookies lying on the table for the visiting customers. Simply said, everything in this store is made to order.
On display are a wide range of striking necklaces, earrings, bangles, ear pins, and rings, among others. And then the care and hospitality of the striking Tami Sasporta, the owner of the shop, an Israeli native, that will lure any customer.
"Unlike the fabricated jewellery sold on Kampala streets, all these products are made from original Israeli metal and fibre - the biggest reason why my customers love it," Sasporta says, with the conviction of a good saleswoman. She notes that it is the exceptional fiery multicolour tones of the centrepiece of most of her necklaces that give them a mesmerizing glow.
"I basically deal in products from Israel; they come in good colours and quality. Most of my customers used to like my personal jewellery from Israel and I decided to make it a business," she says.
Sasporta, who also makes some of her necklaces, has been living in Uganda for the last four years. Her husband is a road constructor in Uganda. During the four years, she decided to start her jewellery business.
"From my childhood, I have never run a personal business. Though I had no business knowledge, I decided to customise in importing Israel jewellery since most of my friends were interested in it," she says.
And this has paid off so far. Though she wanted to establish a shop in one of Kampala's busy and sounding malls, Sasporta was forced to settle for the Bugolobi spot since she could not handle the high rent.
With two months in business, Sasporta says all is good and it is promising. She attributes this to the attachment and the originality of her products. "People have a religious attachment to Israeli jewellery. You will find that most of it comes with symbols like the dove and the palm which both mean good luck," she says.
"But most importantly, it's the originality of my products that attracts people."
She uses metals like Pewter and Turquoise stone whose products women cherish because they are considered to be pure and healthy for their bodies. These are supplemented with silver and gold-coated Karat.
Sasporta says Uganda's business environment is friendly. She points out that Ugandan women appreciate style and are willing to buy something of quality at any cost.
Despite having quite expensive products - the cheapest earring goes for Shs 40,000 while the most expensive necklace will leave one Shs 350,000 short, Sasporta says her target audience is responding positively and insists her products are cheaper compared to local jewellery stores that sell products of similar quality.
"Sincerely, most of my clients are non-Ugandans, but the few Ugandans that come really understand quality and never complain of prices," she adds.
There are some challenges she faces, though. Her location, for a start, is way out of the busy central business district, where there is a larger market regardless of the limited parking slots. So, she depends on word of mouth to have news about her business spreading.
Sasporta says she has limited stock for women only. "Currently, I'm limited to only women jewellery but I hope to also import men's wallets," she says. She has plans of expanding her shop to become a hub where women can get lectures on application of cosmetics and a wide range of make-up tips. "I want this place to become a one-stop centre for all people of class and style," she says.

Today in Mobile
Starbucks announced a deal that will see it begin accepting payments from Square's Pay with Mobile transaction as well as processing Starbucks' U.S. credit card and debit card transactions. Starbucks will also invest $25 million in Square in a move that values the company at $3.25 billion. This is a big deal on several levels: Starbucks runs a mammoth retail business, of course, and much of its middle and upper class user base is already paying for their coffee with their phones. Perhaps the biggest win for Square here, though, is in introducing its offering to a bug base of mainstream users. When I talk to my friends and family about Square, I usually get blank stares. This tie-up might be a big step toward addressing that.

Summery & Soupy WeatherJune 24th, 2013 at 8:11 am by Jeremy Wheeler under Weather
Well the humidity really poured in over the weekend. We had some downpours as well. Especially on Saturday. If I read the information right, then it looked like that heavy rain missed the rain gauge at Norfolk International Airport. However, my back yard flooded. That's the very nature of scattered. Yesterday, we didn't see too much. Just a few pop up storms. The weather pattern for the next few days won't change much. With all of the deep humidity sticking around we'll see at least some isolated (10-20% chance) to scattered (30-50%) chance for showers and storms in the afternoons. The typical Bermuda high is setting up offshore. This will allow for a persistent south/southwest flow and a nice moisture feed.
The rain chances look to drop a bit on Wednesday and Thursday (slight chance), then they go back up towards next weekend. The models show some upper level ridging on the drier days, with some troughing (dip in the jetstream) towards next weekend.
High temps will be in the upper 80s today with some 90s inland. Highs will be in the 90s from Tuesday into at least Friday. Welcome to Summer in Hampton Roads.
There are a couple of stories on the internet recently. One is the about the wildfires in Colorado. Wildfires
Another interesting story is one about pollution. It may be a big dramatic, but there may be a sudden release of a potent greenhouse gas in the near future. This due to some changing regulations: Pollution release. There's a lot more interesting weather stories recently. I'll post them in other blogs this week.

Recipe by Chef John
"The fried cronuts have a crisp exterior and croissant-like texture. The first version is more like a donut and the second version is more like a deep-fried croissant. It's an adventurous, fun project for you to try soon."

6 cups
grapeseed oil for frying, or as needed
1 cup
confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons
milk, or as needed
1/2 teaspoon
vanilla extract
These were delicious. The process was uncomplicated, but very time consuming (which is why I rated it only 4 stars). I topped mine with a maple cream cheese frosting and bacon, which was a big hit.
Rainy day here, so the perfect time to make these. Im guarding the ones that are left right now, because they are stealing them before the glaze sets!
5 Ratings
I used the primary version listed. 2 minutes was a bit long for these delicate delights. 1 - 1.5 minutes worked well for my cronuts. I used the amount of milk listed and noticed the glaze was a bit dry so I added 2 squirts of a lemon. This gave the glaze a great flavor. Overall, this was a great and well written recipe. I really enjoyed making and eating the cronuts! Thanks Chef John!

Maverick_: I came close to get an A7 as I am in the market for upgrade, but the camera has too many important flaws to be used as a serious semi-pro model. It seems that it would make better use as an enthusiast camera.
But we can't ignore the potential of this groundbreaking camera, full frame interchangeable lens in a very compact body. Perhaps in 3 years they'll resolve the focus issue.
If you actually shot with it, you'd probably not notice the flaws at all. Nitpicking is at an all time high.
harold1968: The e-m1 is the same size, weight and price.
The sony handling is better (I have used both, at most it's a taste thing), the e-m1 has slightly faster focuses (but still hunts in low light)
The sensor is far inferior compared to the A7, it even has noise in base ISO.
Yet dpreview describe its IQ as excellent and yet the A7s as very good.
For sure something is going on with this review.
The EM1 didn't need to be a larger camera. They could've easily made it smaller but people wanted a larger body, so they obliged. You do have a choice of going with smaller m43 bodies.
Wow..sexy, but FUJI lenses are wallet busters. Still, do want.
jennyrae: does not appear worth $1,600.
f1.2 lenses are all very expensive. The build quality looks superb. However, do not judge the lens by looking at the pictures dpreview takes. dpreview takes 'snapshots', not world class photos.
munro harrap: A friend of mine is quite happy with one of these, but I dont get it, no. The camera is as big as a 35mm full-frame Olympus OM2n and bigger than a D40x Nikon.
It is almost as big as my Nikon 7100 and a lot more expensive. With the good f2.8 zoom it costs as much as a new Nikon D800 body, WIERD!!
OMD is nowhere near as flexible as the old R1 Sony which was a complete system in itself with a great 24-120mm lens (still the best available-but not on NEX machines).
You can then spend another fortune on another set of doubtless excellent lenses, and get Leica quality for less..... but existentially WHY would you do this? Beats me, mate....
Pro photographers asked for a larger body with more buttons. This is what they wanted. Did Olympus have to make it large? No. They did it in purpose because there is a market. On the other hand, they can make an m43 camera as small as the point and shoot bodies. You can pick an m43 in all sizes, but not APS-C.
tecnoworld: This camera is great and has all the features I want. Except for one: sensor size, which I want to be at least aps-c. But for the rest it's #1.
There's only one thing the APS-C does noticeably better than the m43 sensor. You can have nice Bokeh with the m43 but not quite like an APS-C. If that matters to you, pick the APS-C.
Panasonic did something amazing here. The body of a true small point and shoot with a m43 sized sensor. Now, please release one with a fixed 1.8 or f2.0 lens.
King Penguin: Nice camera but sadly crippled by the small sensor.....I'll wait for the FF version from someone else.....
Crippled? It's made small intentionally so those of us who want small cameras and small lenses can pack it with 2 or 3 lenses in the back of the small pouch in our backpacks while mountaineering.
Unfortunately, no thanks Nikon. This camera is cluttered. Absence of video? Does the video feature make the camera heavier, slower, more clunky? No point in taking the video feature out. You've got gazillions of buttons and dials, what's one more for a video button.
Taking good sample pictures has never been dpreview's strength. Might as well just give it to a high school photography student, he/she might do it better.
After about 2 years of carrying around m43 cameras and lenses I can't go back to larger DSLRs. I stuff my m43 and 2 lenses in the small back pocket for a hiking trip and I don't even notice it. What's worse is when you have small kids with baby bottles, clothes, extra food, and still need to carry a camera. M43 is a blessing. Image quality is really good enough for the majority of shooters.
Nice feature set, but wait one year and it'll be $500.
mckracken88: very expensive toys.
get a real camera like the d800.
There are a lot of real cameras, but there are not a lot of real photographers.
PhotoHawk: Wow - that announcement is aimed at the heart of u4/3rds. The A7 and A7r bodies are lighter. I don't know about the lenses. But even if they are 100g heavier as a package the benefits of the FF sensor (noise and resolution as a system) would outweigh the small weight savings.
At this point you may say that the EM1 has a few things the Sony can't do (IBIS for one). I would imagine that over time Sony will add the innovations missing. But 4/3rds can't be FF. So Sony can match Olympus and Panasonic on features but they can't match the performance the Sony FF sensor provides.
This doesn't compete against m43. the A7 and A7r bodies are lighter than the e-m1 only because Olympus wanted to make it heavier and larger INTENTIONALLY. There are plenty of light and small m43 bodies.
GabrielZ: Wow! I'm gob-smacked by the difference in size between the Alpha and the 6D - that's really a tiny full-frame camera. Impressive!
A rangefinder styled body will remove that large hump viewfinder. The difference in height will allow you to put it into a smaller sized bag or in the rear compartment of a backpack.
GabrielZ: Wow! I'm gob-smacked by the difference in size between the Alpha and the 6D - that's really a tiny full-frame camera. Impressive!
There's room to shrink it even more by making a rangefinder styled body.
I'm hoping Olympus will be next to join the FF mirrorless segment.
Pricy lenses, even for the enthusiast shooter.
ugh..no. Leica feminized. Yuck.
luminis scripti: A camera phone will always remain just that: a camera on a phone. It will never "hold its own" against ANY format camera, digital or film, let alone a medium format traditionally used for fashion photography. Yes, it's nice to have a decent camera on your phone, as a last-resort backup, but no one can expect it to seriously become the "tool if the trade."
Nice try Nokia, nice try. *slow clap*
I wouldn't say that. Technology progresses and camera phones are making leaps. Perhaps in a few years, we could see aps-c sized sensor phones with some breakthroughs in optical imaging.

HERE TO STAY: THE GERSHWIN EXPERIENCE to Play Sarasota's Van Wezel, 2/10
The astounding musical legacy of George and Ira Gershwin can hardly be summed up in a news article. But, suffice it to say that Here To Stay: The Gershwin Experience, playing at the Van Wezel on February 10, 2013, paints a beautifully deep and intriguing picture of the dynamic duo, and immerses the viewer in a concert environment that has not been replicated since the performance of the original orchestration.
Adding to the authenticity of the performance, Pianist, Kevin Cole, interprets George Gershwin's virtuosity with precision finesse and flawless technique. Rare audio and video footage from the family archives rounds out the all-encompassing show, leaving the audience with an intimate understanding of the genius which manifests itself in the vast catalogue of music which has permeated the culture of American art to its core.
Tickets are priced from $10-$50. For more information, call The Box Office at 941-953-3368, or toll free 800-826-9303, or visit www.VanWezel.org.

Mechatronic Students Build Robot for Recruiting Purposes
Thursday, April 3, 2014
TSTC students Jason Edwards and Amelia Ximenes were just looking for a way to promote the Mechatronics Technology Program. The program, one of 27 Associates of Applied Science programs at Texas State Technical College combines mechanics, electronics and computer control in automated systems.
And for Edwards and Ximenes, it's developed into a passion.
In January, the pair along with teaching lab assistant Jenaro Flores-Jinez started working on a robot equipped with cannons that shoot out T-shirts. The robot, M-Trak 1, has been used at a couple of recruiting events to pique potential students' interest about the program.
Their last recruiting outing was at Kingsville High School and Flores-Jinez said M-Trak 1 was a huge hit with all the students in attendance.
"They wanted to build something that was going to represent us as a program on a big scale," Flores-Jinez said. "They worked on several prototypes and finally started working the bigger model recently. They started back in January and have done a great job."
Edwards and Ximenes built everything from the motor control of the robot to the air-based system used to launch the T-shirts up to 80-feet in the air.
When Ximenes, a 2013 Lyford High School graduate, first enrolled at TSTC she planned on taking part in the Nursing Program. But after meeting with instructors, Ximenes said she fell in love with the Mechatronics Program and the potential that awaits her after graduation.
The Mechatronics Program is a non-traditional track for Ximenes and is currently one of only two females enrolled in the program with 60 males.
"I think seeing me at these recruiting events encourages other girls to be interested," said Ximenes, who's in her second semester in the program. "They ask about the program and what it is that we do. Having the robot there to show them what I've been working on this semester helps get them even more interested."
Edwards, a 2006 graduate from Harlingen South, said working on M-Trak 1 has helped him hone his skills in the program and looks forward to taking it on more recruiting trips before the semester ends.
It's been great teaming up with Amelia on this project," Edwards said. "It's one thing to learn theory in the classroom but to actually put it to use and build something like this is something else."
"I'm very proud of them," Flores-Jinez said. "This was all their idea from the design to the logistics. They've put in the time and effort to get this done."

The article by Michael Bond on the cooperative behaviour of people in crowds (18 July, p 38) reminded me of an unusual personal experience from 1945.
I was an engineer aboard the SS Papanui, and on VJ Day we docked in Melbourne. I went ashore to join the throng gathered in the city centre to watch the celebratory firework display.
After the display, those who had been watching it from the Royal Botanical Gardens began to pour out onto the surrounding streets. They joined the crowd in the street at a crossroads, and the situation immediately became serious. On either side, shop windows were being forced in by the mass of people.
My experience as a youngster in the UK of crowds, following rugby matches in Cardiff, stood me in good stead. I knew to stay in the middle of the crowd to avoid being crushed against walls, to ...

It's well known in the renal community that patients do better when they have more dialysis treatments, and that home care often provides such an opportunity for well being. However, home care presents challenges too. Renal Business Today spoke with several dialysis lab experts (from Satellite Laboratory Services, RenaLab, and Spectra Laboratories) to find out what these challenges are, and how they can be mitigated.
First off, communication must be precise and frequent between lab companies and dialysis providers. Communication should also be clear between labs and patients. These processes are key, said Chris Nilson, director of client relations for Satellite Laboratory Services.
"We start with comprehensive and easy-to-understand instructions for the home hemo patient and for the professional at the clinic responsible for instructing that patient," he said. "This includes printed instructions, materials and tubes, special instructions on obtaining specimens, the centrifuge itself, a test-tube holder and shipping materials. We strive for consistency and clarity in process for both the clinic and patient, end-to-end."
Cindy Branch, client services manager at RenaLab, agrees that communication between the lab and the clinician is vital, and stresses that communication with at-home caregivers is also important.
"The home patient is given the date and times that they need to draw labs but if there is a breakdown in communication at all, the patient could be confused and could quite possibly not know when or how to make the draw," Branch said. "It is very important for the home nurse to communicate thoroughly to the patient and it is up to RenaLab to support them both."
Customer service reps should take the time to talk to caretakers, Branch continued. "They are taking care of their mothers, fathers and close friends, and we understand this is an emotional time for them. They are afraid that they are going to harm the patient or collect the sample incorrectly, and we develop a personal relationship with them so they do feel comfortable in calling and asking us for help."
It is up to the lab to train patients how to collect, process and ship their samples, Branch said.
"When needed we stay in constant communication with both the nurses and the patient," she added. "We have to be careful to communicate well with the home dialysis nurse, so they can properly answer the patient's questions, but more importantly, we need to be available to properly answer questions when a patient reaches out to us."
Nurses and patients lean on labs, according to Branch's colleague, Cecile Humphreys, assistant vice president of lab services at RenaLab.
"It is most effective for the lab to have a process in place to be there for both, and to be willing to walk them through the process," Humphreys said. "When the nurse gets a new patient, RenaLab is provided with the patient information and this allows us to prepare individualized supplies for each patient. We know when they are going home and when they need us to ship their lab training manual and the supplies for their home collections. Problems with FedEx or the centrifuge can arise, and if they do, the patient knows they just need to call us."
Patient education is a crucial component to making a home patient experience successful, according to Pamela Anderson, BA, MAEd, director of field education and development for Spectra Laboratories.
"A laboratory can provide instructional materials to educate the patient on proper specimen tube collection and shipping procedures," Anderson said. "A full-service laboratory can provide the patient supporting equipment, such as a small centrifuge, packaging materials, and overnight shipping airbills. Even though blood work is a routine procedure for dialysis patients, it is good practice to provide patients simple instructions with the blood tubes, sampling materials and packaging to reinforce good specimen collection and handling techniques.
Collaboration between providers and laboratories can create a unique and meaningful educational program for the home training patient, said Anderson's colleague, Julia Brennan, executive director of national accounts for Spectra Laboratories
"This assists in ensuring a smooth home experience," Brennan said. "Proper lab specimen collection, processing and shipping guarantees reliable results and prompt reporting. This enables the patient care team to evaluate therapy and adjust prescription as needed."
Home hemo patients should be treated as thoroughly as if they were clinic patients, said Christine Koncal, director of marketing for Satellite Laboratory Services.
"We strive for simplicity and clarity of communication, and continual improvement in our processes to ensure optimal lab results," Koncal said.
Differences in Care
The main difference between home hemodialysis (HHD) patients and non are that home patients are more independent and are usually only seen monthly in the clinic, according to Brigitte Schiller, MD, clinical director of Satellite Laboratory Services.
"For PD blood is drawn during the visit, HHD patients usually bring the blood samples from home," Schiller said. "Transportation directly to the lab with an option of having the results available at the monthly visit is a huge advantage for coordinated patient care. Making blood draws easy and error proof is another mandate."
Since samples are not drawn or spun by clinical staff, but by patient caregivers at home, labs should be vigilant in their evaluation of samples, Humphreys said. Care must be given to see that they are collected and processed correctly.

Whitehaven cricketers avoid the slip
Last updated at 12:47, Thursday, 13 September 2012
COCKERMOUTH, needing eight points to be League champions, were at home to Whitehaven, who needed as many points as possible to try and avoid relegation.
Cockermouth inserted their visitors and Haven raced to 51-1 with Jonny Bruce (19) and Eddie Birkett (19) leading the way. Cockermouth spinner Chris Hodgson however put a brake on the scoring as Whitehaven reached a disappointing 111-9. The news from the Furness v Lindal game was not good as Furness had scored just 128.
Haven's bowlers Habib Baloch 2-21 and 15-year-old Jack McNicholas 2-23 were superb as Cockermouth struggled to 41-5. Angus Carruthers then set his stall out to secure Cockermouth the points they required. he closed on 40 not out as the Home side reached 105-5. This gave Haven 12 points and Cockermouth 7. The news then came through that Lindal had capitulated against their Barrovian neighbours and had managed 99 all out. This saved Haven from relegation to ensure Premier League cricket at The Playground next season.
The season has been difficult for Whitehaven but they will be encouraged by the rapid development of McNicholas and fellow 15-year-old Chad Pearson. Dave Watson was superb with the bat as was Habib Baloch with the ball. New Zealander Jono Bennett also had a good season with bat and ball. Hopefully next year more of Haven's talented youngsters will come to the fore.
Furness, at home to Lindal Moor, knew they had to win to have any chance of retaining their Champions title, and Lindal Moor knew they needed more points than Whitehaven. Due to mopping up operations, the overs were reduced from 100 to 68. Furness went in first, and soon lost both openers, both run out. Professional Ian Daniel made an important 37 and with support from Liam Gribbin's 26, Furness were 129 for 8 after their 34 overs. Lindal's John Atkinson took 4 for 37 in 13 overs. Lindal soon lost Colin Knight, but looked on course to get the draw, but Jordan Buchanan had other ideas and his 8 for 23 in 10.1 overs, saw Lindal Moor collapse to 94 for 9 and with the injured Jack Cumberbatch unable to bat, Furness had won by 35 runs, but were still one point behind Cockermouth. Lindal Moor will join Kirkby in the First Division in 2013.
In a cracking game at Cleator, the home side had first knock against Haverigg, and with 72 from James Rogers and 43 from Tom Sharpe, the innings closed on 200 for 6 wickets. Haverigg pro., Brenton Parchment returned 4 for 42 in his 15 overs. In reply Haverigg's top order batted steadily, Robert Bell making 46 and Parchment, 34, but still found themselves 125 for 5. Skipper Steven Evans then played a typical knock and when overs ran out, Evans was 55 not out and Haverigg were 198 for 8, and had to settle for the draw.
In a game reduced to 80 overs, Millom batted first against visitors Kirkby, and with 87 from Geech Alwis, and 59 from Ian Swarbrick went in for tea at 229 for 8. Mike Etchells bowled his 15 overs, taking 4 for 68. After a moderate start, Mike Fugler with 48 and skipper Paul New with 43, pulled things round, and after 40 overs, Kirkby had got the draw at 168 for 9. Graham Dawson taking 7 for 48 in 15 overs.
Over 400 runs were scored in the Workington and Carlisle game. Home side Workington were 209 for 8 at tea, Matt Gorley making 93, and Callum Moffat 70. Carlisle's pro. Saliya Saman taking 4 for 46. In reply Saman with an excellent 76, almost got his side a good win, but they had to be satisfied with the draw at 198 for 9. Matt Gorley took 4 for 61.
Keswick were at Penrith, and were all out for 185, Ben Sharp top scoring with 35. Jonathan Osborne, 4 for 47 and Marcus Todd, 4 for 55, bowled well for Penrith. In reply, Penrith did not bat very well and were all out for 136, Geech Kumara taking 6 for 18. Jonathan Osborne top scored with 34 not out.
League Champions: Cockermouth.
Relegated: Kirkby and Lindal Moor
Division One: Division One champions Appleby Eden ended their season with a crushing win against Egremont.
Batting first Appleby were able to declare after 41 overs at 181 for 4. Chris Kirkpatrick making 43. In reply Egremont were always in trouble and were dismissed for 98. Mark Ousby took 6 for 36.
Dalton finished their season with a home win over Workington II. Dismissing the West Cumbrians for 137, Dalton's Rob Jones 3 for 8, and Tony Butler 3 for 31, doing the damage. Paul McEwan made 33 not out for Workington. After tea Dalton went to a comfortable win at 139 for 6, Rob Jones making 57 not out.Lanercost, hot favourites for relegation, rescued their season with a good home win over Penrith II. It didn't seem that way at teatime with Lanercost being all out for 111, Jonny Robley making 30, and Penrith's Liam Trevaskis taking 4 for 42 in his 15 overs. In reply Penrith batted badly to be all out for 78. Scott Simpson taking 4 for 25 in 15 overs and Robley 3 for 32.
Cleator II batting first at Seascale, were indebted to opener Dave Mossop's 58, who received good support from Paul Knott, 27, and James Hocking, 26, and after 50 overs Cleator were 158 for 6, Danny Lee taking 4 for 33. In reply a good stand between Lee Fleet, 70, and Dave Stubbings, 27, led Seascale to a good win at 161 for 7. Cleator's Gary Hall took 3 for 19.Ulverston were at Vickerstown, but could only post 117 all out, Steve Drage making 33, and Sam Beckman taking 3 for 21. Vickerstown also struggled with the bat, Beckman made 57 but it took a last wicket stand of 22 between Lauderdale and Humphries to get the win at 120 for 9, Drage taking 3 for 24.
Division One Champions: Appleby Eden.
Promoted: Appleby Eden and Wigton.
Relegated: Egremont.
Promoted to Division One: Cockermouth II
In the second division the top two – Haven and Cockermouth – were due to meet in a title decider at the Playground.
Both sides had only lost one game each all season so a tight game was predicted. Haven's groundstaff worked hard all week to try and get the game on, but despite their efforts the umpires declared the pitch unfit, so giving the title to the visitors.
Cockermouth under Haven old boy Steve Chambers deserved their success, but Whitehaven skipper Nathan Lee will rue the fact that Haven's last six games were rained off.
Whitehaven's home field at the Playground is beginning to cause serious concern to both the cricket and co-users Whitehaven Rugby Union Club.
The field is holding more and more water and haven have lost numerous games due to the weather at all levels in the club.
This has had a drastic effect on revenue. The committee who run the ground are working hard to raise grants, donations etc, to remedy the drainage problems, but if these are not secured the future of cricket and rugby union in Whitehaven is in serious doubt.

Eating Out
Good, moderately-priced restaurants near Penn Station?
My dad is coming into Manhattan tomorrow to see a Knicks game with me. I want to take him to a decent restaurant in the area for dinner, which I know is an ambitious endeavor (it's pretty slim-pickin's over there!). I'm thinking $15-23 for entrees. Any suggestions?

Penalties for Drinking and Driving in Norwalk
The Norwalk legal system has followed a national trend toward zero tolerance for DUI offenders. The result has been a drastic increase in drinking and driving citations and devastatingly severe penalties for each conviction. Below is a list of common punishments for an individual's first, second, third, and fourth DUI convictions in Norwalk.
First DUI Conviction: Common penalties for first time offenders include a collection of fines totaling in close to $1,000 and up to 96 hours in jail. On top of that, the DMV will likely take your license for up to 6-months and require the completion of a drunk driving prevention program.
Second DUI Conviction: Penalties may be increased for a second driving under the influence conviction and those convicted are facing up to 1 year in jail and $1,000 in fines. Also, you may lose your driver's license for up to 2 years and be required to complete a driving under the influence program. You may also be required to install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle. This device measures a driver's blood alcohol level before allowing the car to turn on.
Third DUI Conviction: The third time someone is convicted of drunk driving will result in up to a year in jail and up to $1,000 in fines. The law will then immediately label you a habitual offender and make it near impossible to avoid the addition of a ignition interlock device to your vehicle. Then, the DMV may go as far as to suspend your driver's license for up to 3 years.
Fourth DUI Conviction: A fourth time offender will face penalties similar to that of the third offense but may be sentenced to up to 5 years without a driver's license.
Enhancement Punishments and Felony DUI in Norwalk
More often than not a DUI in Norwalk is classified as a misdemeanor. Occasionally, however, certain "aggravated factors" can result in a felony DUI charge. Two commonly seen reason for enhancement punishments are listed below.
Passenger Under 14: If you are pulled over with a child under the age of 14 and found to be intoxicated you may be facing a felony DUI charge and increased penalties.
DUI with Injury or Death: Any driver who injures or kills another person because they are driving under the influence will be charge with a felony and punished accordingly.
Plea Bargaining for DUI Cases in Norwalk (Wet/Dry and Wreckless)
Given the severity of most guilty DUI verdicts anyone facing such a charge should find DUI attorney in Norwalk for a number of different reasons. One of the most important reasons is a lawyers ability to evaluate your individual driving under the influence case. When evaluating your case your lawyer should be able to advise you on whether or not to accept a plea bargain.
If you go to trial for your case you could win and your case will be thrown out. Of course, if you lose, you are facing great uncertainty in terms of punishment because of the amount of discretion the law give the judge overseeing your trial. The judge sentences you based on the conviction for the driving while intoxicated and on the basis of the specific circumstances of your arrest. In other words, once the guilty verdict comes down the judge will be able to sentence you however they see fit. Conversely, a plea bargain will allow you some control and you will know exactly what you will get.
If you plead guilty to your Norwalk DUI and decide to accept a plea bargain your charge will likely be reduced. Most commonly, the resulting charge will be either a "wet and reckless" or a "dry and reckless." A wet and reckless is typically the first level of DUI reduction that a judge will consider as part of a plea bargain. While a wet and reckless still concedes that there was alcohol or drugs involved in your arrest it will undoubtedly result in less jail time, smaller fines, and no mandatory suspension of your driver's license. A dry and reckless is an even more desirable reduction. The most attractive thing about a dry and reckless is that it does not count as a driving under the influence charge on your criminal record or your driving record. As a result your insurance is not likely to go through the roof.

desert storm at sea: what the navy really did

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0313310246, Hardcover)
Desert Storm was the largest naval operation since World War II. Although naval forces did not play the central role, they fulfilled an important function throughout the operation, facing many formidable challenges and considerable risk. This book provides a close examination of the problems encountered by the Navy, both in the military situation and in dealing with the other services, and the decisions made to address these issues. While interservice rivalries sometimes intruded at higher levels, jointness at the tactical level often led to effective combined-arms operations.
Despite the information revolution and improvements in technology, the Fog of War still obscured the battlefield and affected nearly all decisions. This study offers page-turning action, such as SEAL activity and combat search and rescue missions, as well as the exciting and dangerous surface operations that gained sea control of the northern Persian Gulf. Using primary sources such as interviews and many documents cleared only recently for public release, the author covers the relations between General Schwarzkopf and Vice Admirals Mauz and Arthur; the major contribution of Tomahawk cruise missiles to the first wave of attacks on Baghdad; the controversial use of aircraft carriers in the Gulf; as well as the Navy's possible role in the event of an amphibious assault into Kuwait. Those preparing to fight in future naval actions will learn much from this detailed analysis.

THE origins of a mysterious green glow in the night sky look a shade clearer now that Danish scientists have recreated some atmospheric chemistry in the laboratory. The results could also help to clarify the processes at work in the atmospheres of other planets, they say.
The night-time emission of green light, with a wavelength of 557.7 nanometres, was detected in the Earth's upper atmosphere more than a century ago. Most researchers believed that the light comes from oxygen atoms in the ionosphere. The idea was that during the day, oxygen molecules are ionised by ultraviolet light from the Sun to form O
But only atoms with a specific energy can emit the green light. "Depending on their kinetic and electronic energy we can ...

Sea turtle webcam goes live in the Florida keys
By Gary Bogue

Sea Turtle webcam goes live in Florida Keys
The press release below just arrived from the Florida Keys tourism council. As a collector and lover of webcams that watch all kinds of wild creatures, I thought you might be interested in watching sea turtles hatch and crawl across the sand into the ocean. You'll have to time it just right, otherwise you're going to spend a LOT of time just watch sand and waves, but hey, that can be pretty soothing, right? You can find out more below:
Green sea turtle hatchlings. Photo courtesy Save-A-Turtle.
BIG PINE KEY, Florida Keys — Environmental enthusiasts should be able to observe infant loggerhead sea turtles hatching and emerging from their nest, via a live streaming "turtle webcam" installed on a private beach on Big Pine Key in the Lower Florida Keys.
Viewers can access the webcam, which offers daytime viewing of the loggerhead nest in natural light and infrared nighttime viewing to avoid disturbing the turtles, at http://www.fla-keys.com/turtlecam.
The camera currently is focused on a nest with eggs projected to hatch by Aug. 24 during the nighttime hours. Afterwards, plans call for relocating it to other nearby nests with eggs projected to hatch at night on varying dates through Sept. 9.
Once a nest has hatched, recorded footage of the hatching should be available for viewing on the site.
Loggerhead, green, leatherback, hawksbill and Kemp's ridley sea turtles nest on beaches in the Florida Keys or inhabit regional waters. All five species are considered threatened or endangered.
From early spring through early fall each year, turtles crawl ashore at night to dig nests and lay about 100 ping-pong-ball-sized eggs per nest. After covering them with sand, the turtles return to the water. Approximately two months later, hatchlings emerge and seek the water.
Any artificial light can disturb and disorient the turtles, interrupting the natural process. Laws prohibit people from touching or disturbing hatchlings, nests and nesting turtles.
Placement of the webcam was approved by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Funded by the Florida Keys tourism council, the camera is part of a longstanding Keys effort to raise awareness of sea turtles and their needs. Since the mid-1980s, the Save-a-Turtle organization and Marathon's Turtle Hospital have worked to protect and care for the region's marine turtles and their habitat.
Enjoy! /Gary
