Recipe by Chef Dave
"This is a very light and delicate dish with a smooth and subtle lemon and citrus flavor that melts in your mouth. Also serves well cold. Best if served with veggies and a good teriyaki sauce."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 1/2 pounds
salmon fillet
1 quart
chicken stock
1 quart
orange juice
2 cups
white wine
1 small
yellow onion, chopped
2 tablespoons
minced garlic
2 cups
chopped lemon grass
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
white pepper
dinner guests loved this dish. i could not find any fresh lemon grass, so substituted fresh lime juice and chopped cilantro. it was wonderful.
I was disappointed with this recipe, especially after reading such great reviews; perhaps I did something wrong, but I followed the recipe to the T.
The salmon was fine, but the citrus taste was barely noticeable, which was frustrating considering all of the ingredients that went into the dish. Additionally, there was a considerable amount of waste...almost 2 liters.
While eating this for supper, I was wishing that I had just grilled the salmon and saved myself the expense of the lemon grass, OJ, and white wine.
I think that if I were to do this again I would 1/3 of the ingredients and marinate it for an hour or so, and then grill it.

This tasted pretty fantastic and the fish came out flaky and delicious. My only problem was that I didn't know lemongrass was so tough, so I minced it when I should have just left it in big chunks that I could pick out instead of the little stringy tough lemongrass bits getting in my teeth. The sauce was good and it was a shame to waste it; I don't know what you'd eat it over though--maybe rice?
Great recipe! I didn't serve it with teriyaki, though. I reduced the sauce with cornstarch and poured it over the filets. A delicious and elegant dish, perfect for company!
Incredibly easy to make, and ready in minutes. You have to start the rice way ahead of time! I added a tablespoon of molassas to the broth. It gave it a nice color and a smokey/sweet taste. Serve with rice and sauted mushrooms and snap peas with some garlic.
I think the orange juice overpowered this dish. Next time, I would cut the OJ in half and perhaps use shallots instead of onions, and maybe more garlic. I feel like it lacked any flavor except the orange juice.
This is the perfect salmon dish. Salmon fillets in Japan can be greasy sometimes but the OJ and lemongrass provides a nice contrast to the rich salmon flavor.
This was simple and tasty. We used a Riesling wine and thickened some of the poaching liquid afterwards with arrowroot starch to make a sauce. Served over white rice cooked with chicken broth and chunks of ginger and with the broccoli with garlic butter and cashews from this site.

It looks like that fancy new HTC Droid DNA won't be the only 1080p phone on the market for too long. Not to be outdone by their fellow Android builder, Samsung is working on their own Full HD display. Unlike HTC, Samsung plans to forego the LCD tech that runs the Droid DNA, and instead build a 5-inch, 1080p Super AMOLED screen.
Like the DNA, Samsung's screen will have a ppi of 441, which blows just about everything else in the consumer electronics world out of the water. It's the first time such a high ppi has been attempted with an OLED panel, and Samsung has evidently been putting some serious R&D into their OLED technology.
The big question on everyone's mind is "What device is this screen destined to be used in?" The rumors about the display itself come from a Korean tech site called Asiae, and they seem to think that this impressive OLED panel is headed for the much-anticipated Galaxy S4. We've heard almost nothing about the successor to the S III so far, so at this point it's all just guesswork, but it certainly wouldn't be surprising if Samsung stepped up to a Full HD screen in the S4.
We'll know for sure when CES 2013 rolls around, which goes down in early January. That's when Asaie expects this new Samsung panel to be unveiled, and perhaps the Galaxy S4 along with it.

July 29, 2015
COLLEGE STATION- A College Station woman was attacked in her own home by a suspected burglar early Thursday morning.
And the man was armed with a knife.
College Station Police say the woman was asleep in her living room on Milner Street.
She woke up around 5:30 in the morning, went to her bedroom, and saw a man with a knife hiding behind a door.
She told investigators the man pushed her to the floor and threatened to kill her.
Police say she somehow managed to push the suspect outside, lock the door, and call police.
Investigators say sometimes it's a matter of deciding whether to resist or not, based on the circumstances.
Lieutenant Chuck Fleeger with the College Station Police Department says, "This particular person made that decision and it worked out well for her, however, the same thing we would always caution people, there is no property worth being harmed over. But then again, we certainly do want people to do things to keep themselves as safe as possible."
The man got away before police arrived. He is described as a white man, six-feet to six-feet two inches tall, weighing 200-to-230 pounds, wearing a black t-shirt and a black knit skull cap.
The woman was not seriously injured.

Westport The Mountain and Valley Athletic Conference saved its best for last, as the Elizabethtown-Lewis Lady Lions and Westport Lady Eagles matched up Feb. 17.
Reader poll
Who is the best girls basketball player in the Valley News area this year?
- Meghan Strong - AuSable Valley 1%
- Shonna Brooks - Elizabethtown-Lewis 20%

In a game that had everything, the Lions used stifling second half defense and a 27-for-38 night from the charity stripe to record a 59-48 win and capture the Division I title as well as clinch the top seed in the Section VII/Class D girls playoffs.
"There are three state-ranked teams in this section, and getting the top seed means you would not have to beat two of them," ELCS head coach Don Ratliff said. "They did a phenomenal job tonight."
"It's nice to accomplish this goal, but we know that we have to continue on," Shonna Brooks, who scored 17 points (11 in the first half) and 10 rebounds, said.
While the game belonged to the Lions, the first half belonged to region-leading scorer Willa McKinley. On senior night, the Westport standout connected on five three-pointers and went for 25 of her team's 27 points at halftime, giving the Eagles a 27-22 edge.
"She was on. I don't know how she does it," Brooks said.
"Our goal was to slow down their top two scorers, but Willa was just hitting everything," Ratliff said. "I thought we did a good job defensively, but she still went for 25 points in the opening half."
Out of the break, the Lions tried a new tactic, running two defenders at McKinley in a triangle-and-two type zone. The result was a 16-6 ELCS run that gave the Lions a 38-33 lead heading into the final quarter.
"Jasmine Barnes and Emily Morris hardly played in the first half, but we put them both in to guard Willa in the third," Ratliff said. "They did a great job."
"She can't beat two defenders the way they had her guarded," Westport coach Hokey McKinley said. "We didn't respond well to their defensive change, and we missed some open shots. We need to be more balanced."

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Weight Watchers International, Inc. and National Journal today convened a policy summit to examine the growing national security threat posed by a shrinking pool of Americans lean enough to serve in the military.
A Cornell University study found at a time when U.S. forces are stretched thin overseas, obesity is the leading medical disqualifier for military service.
Some 27 percent of potential recruits between the ages of 17-24 would weigh too much to qualify to enlist in the armed forces. This presents a security threat for the nation as it creates challenges for the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps, who together must attract more than 184,000 new recruits annually.
Over the past 50 years, the number of age-eligible men who exceed the U.S. Army's entry standards for weight-for-height and body fat percentage has more than doubled. For military-age women, the figure has more than tripled. These issues are beginning to receive national attention.
In February, Pentagon officials teamed with First Lady Michelle Obama to announce plans to revise nutrition standards across military branches for the first time in 20 years.
The new standards are designed to give troops and their families more access to fresh fruits and vegetables, more whole grains, lean meats and low-fat dairy products. The healthier choices will be turning up in service member dining halls and military base schools, vending machines and snack bars.

Let's be real now, this isn't the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Sometimes, I want to choke my best friend, but most of the time I can't wait to see what kind of debauchery we get into! Friends can be the best thing about life, and they can definitely stand the test of time. All great stories start with friendship, think about the Three Musketeers, Pumba and Timon from the Lion King, Serena and Blair from Gossip Girl, and my newest favorite, Penny and Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory.
I've been very fortunate in my choice of friends. I love those little suckers! Yeah, sometimes they get on my nerves and I'm looking through Yelp to try and find an affordable hit man, but most of all they are the people I look to when I can't seem to find my way. That is the beauty in friendship, they believe in you even when you have stopped believing in yourself.
Friends, like everything in this world, have their own distinct and unique personalities. For example, my other-half Sanna, who lives in Sweden. She is quiet and reserved when you first meet her, but watch out because she can be feisty. And yes, she is blonde. We have had so many adventures and I treasure every second I have with her! Then there is the friend who is brilliant and beautiful and you can't hate her because she is just so freakin' nice. Yeah, I have one of those too. I also have my best friend, the cheese to my macaroni and the one I can't wait to hang out with! We couldn't be more different and yet we work more perfectly than ying and yang. I wish I could make this article an ode to my all my amazing friends because they deserve that and more, but then I may be put in the creeper category.
Remember that all friendships take work, but they are worth the ride. They are the ones who are going to return your drunk text and calls. The ones who will cheer you on! And plot just how you're going to nail that cute guy at the coffee shop. They will bring you snacks to school to make sure you don't die during finals and they will offer to kidnap and torture that not so nice ex-love you have. You, of course, will take them up on their very generous offer. So don't forget to tell your friends every once in a while how much they mean to you because really, without them, where would we be. I took the liberty of finding oh so attractive photos of my friends, I hope you enjoy!

The value of the rupiah strengthened on Monday after the central bank said at the weekend that it was prepared to help the nation cope with global financial turmoil.
Bank Indonesia said in a statement that the country was ready to confront a possible financial crisis triggered by the debt crisis in the euro zone. It said it would boost intervention in the foreign exchange market to reduce rupiah volatility.
"We will increase the supply of foreign exchange in the market accordingly as an effort to stabilize the rupiah," central bank governor Darmin Nasution said in a statement.
In recent weeks, many overseas investors have scaled back their exposure to Indonesia, cutting demand for the rupiah as investors sought US dollars instead.
The rupiah, which has weakened 4 percent so far this year, traded at 9,438 on Monday, marginally stronger than its 9,468 close on Friday.
Debt and foreign exchange dealers in Jakarta said on Monday that the central bank was seen in the market, selling a small amount of dollars on Monday. "The central bank will continue to guard the market," a dealer with a Jakarta bank who declined to be identified said on Monday.
BI started offering dollar term deposits last week to stabilize the rupiah amid a local shortage of greenbacks. BI has said it will continue to offer similar facilities.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said on Sunday before the Group of 20 summit in Mexico that the absence of "an agreement on rigorous methods" to manage the debt crisis in Europe will have "unsettling consequences to all of us."
The yield on the government's 7 percent bonds due May 2022 fell 0.03 percentage points to 6.36 percent, the lowest level since May 14, according to closing prices from the Inter Dealer Market Association

By Maryam Naghavi
Corporations play such vivid and vital role in our 21st century lives that it is unrealistic to define them as mere value maximizing entities whose sole purpose is to benefit their shareholders. In our era, individual power and influence is to a great extent substituted by corporate power. As a result, philanthropic donations, once allowed only when they resulted in a direct and proximate benefit to the corporation, have gradually become an inevitable and desirable task for corporations to undertake. The growth of organized charities, changes in tax laws making corporate donations deductible from federal income taxes, and the statutory grant of donative powers to business corporations in most jurisdictions were some of the measures adopted to encourage corporations in becoming responsible citizens[1]. However, aware of pervasive effects corporate money could have on the society, every legal system has tried to frame corporations' donative capacities.
The kind and extent of such limits depend directly on the public policy a legal system adopts towards corporations. In the United States of America, for instance, where corporations have always enjoyed an extremely liberal and pro-corporation environment, the curbs seem to be few. A perfect example of this approach is the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court in Citizen United[2], where the Court raised corporations to the same social level as a natural person by granting them freedom of speech. The Court found that the government may not, under the First Amendment, suppress political speech on the basis of the speaker's corporate identity, and that a federal statute barring independent corporate expenditures for electioneering communications violated First Amendment. Even if in a later decision[3], the 2nd Court of Appeals strived to limit the holding of Citizen United to campaign expenditures and not campaign contributions[4], Citizens United is still the law of the land and reflects the super liberal view of Americans to corporations.
This liberalism is uncomfortably welcomed on the other side of the Atlantic by the French who keep a close eye on corporations and their so-called charitable acts. Suspicious of fraud and corruption, it was not until1987 that the French Legislature started easing the legal and fiscal environment for corporate donations. Initially conceived as a means to preserve cultural heritage and to promote art and history, corporate philanthropy was gradually expanded to cover areas such as education, sport, environment and science.[5] French law distinguishes publicity and sponsorship from donations in that the first two give the donor company a direct benefit whereas the latter only indirectly promote the image of the company. Therefore publicity and sponsorship are subject to much stricter legal limitations than donations. For example, while advertisements for alcoholic drinks are either prohibited or strictly regulated, alcohol companies are allowed to participate in philanthropic causes and make donations. This exception, however, does not apply to tobacco companies which were prohibited by the Court of Cassations from participating in any type charity. In a decision rendered in 1999, the Court argued that such acts may in some way promote these companies image in the public even if they were not engaged in a direct publicity of their products[6]. Thus, even in a liberal environment, French courts stay strictly cautious and refuse to apply a "one fits all" approach. As for political contributions, they were all together prohibited to corporations by two laws passed in 1995. A memo on the Official Site of French Senate entitled "The Financing of Political Life" opens with this sentence: "Democracy is priceless, but costs a price." The memo continues by listing different measures necessary to avoid opaque financing and eliminate financial powers excessive influence. One of the measures on the list is the 1995 Act defined as "an attempt to cut the umbilical cord between corporate money and political power." This coupled with capping campaign donations and allocating some public budget to equally air all candidates on national television channels and radio stations help to prevent corporate clout from running the country.
When the founding fathers of the U.S. contemplated the separation of powers to avoid the monopoly of one branch of the government over the other two, they were little, if at all, aware that centuries later, all the branches would somehow be controlled by a new entity called corporations. The impact of corporate money on political campaigns in the U.S. in so high that one can doubt whether American democracy can still be defined as "the government of the people by the people for the people". Perhaps, it is time for the Legislature and the Judiciary to reconsider their approach and draw a line between philanthropy and self-interest by limiting, if not eliminating, the role of corporate money in political campaigns. If the Supreme Court wants to protect corporations' right of speech under the First Amendment, why not also try to provide them with equal protection under the Fourth Amendment and put an end to the present "pay to play" situation by giving corporations equal chances regardless of their lobbying powers?

Last night's episode of Mad Men (Episode 506, entitled "Far Away Places") was exceptionally bizarre and merits BWEscussion, but since Michelle isn't here anymore, and because I only have so much RECAP MARROW I can give, let's discuss last night's trippy events in an Open Thread, since we really enjoy everyone's comments on the Walking Dead & Game Of Thrones Recaps.
We've got three plotlines occurring simultaneously but playing out in succession, in a sort of "Run Mad Men Run" experimental format (Matthew Weiner says in the AMC "Inside The Episode" that the structure was modeled after a Max Ophüls anthologized French film, but "Run Mad Men Run" is fun to say). We've got:
Plot 1: Peggy flips out during her Heinz presentation (I like that the Heinz guy was instantly offended; on a lesser show, he would've pulled the "I have never in my life been so…IMPRESSED!!!! Here's $9 billion ketchup buckz!!!"), then she gets high and gives a stranger a handjob, in a scene right out of the 60s anti-weed educational film "The Grass Isn't Groovier On The Other DIED."
Plot 2: Roger and Jane experiment with LSD, revealing Roger's ultimate truth: That his relationship with Jane is over, and that he constantly wishes for Don to be behind him in the mirror at all times. Time for Roger and Joanie to finally start a functional relationship? DEAR LORD.
Plot 3: Don semi-forces Megan to accompany him upstate to the flagship Howard Johnson's, leading to the most passive-aggressive sherbet-eating scene in television history. After Megan's squeals of fake-delight, a nearby woman goes "I'll have the sherbet she's having" and the camera zooms in on a young Rob Reiner rubbing his chin.
So, Mad Men Episode 506 thoughts? Favorite / least favorite parts? Reactions to Peggy's promiscuity and Don's recurring dysfunctionality, or desires to drop LSD with Roger Sterling? Predictions for the rest of the season? Leave 'em in the comments.

Nonsubscribing status not always alternative to Texas workers's compensation insurance coverage
CORPUS CHRISTI - QUESTION: Is becoming a nonsubscriber a good alternative to workers' compensation insurance coverage for my employees?
ANSWER: Nonsubscriber status is not an alternative to Texas workers' compensation insurance coverage because it does not provide equal legal protection for the business. However, nonsubscribers status is another option to provide medical benefits to your employees injured on the job. The primary difference between subscribing and nonsubscribers employers is the business's liability. The exclusive remedy doctrine associated with workers' compensation provides specific benefits to an injured employee in exchange for limited liability for the employer. Nonsubscriber employers do not receive the limited liability benefit provided by the exclusive remedy doctrine. Some legal protections do exist for nonsubscribers and nonsubscribers can insure their exposure to liability. You should consult with an attorney specializing in employer's law before giving up your workers' compensation protection.
About 40 percent of Texas employers are nonsubscribers. Generally those employers who are in high risk industries like construction prefer workers' compensation and those in lower risk industries like retail are more likely to be nonsubscribers. Nonsubscriber is a term established by the Texas Association of Responsible NonSubscribers and means that the employer has established a specific program for injury prevention and provides quality benefits when employees become injured on the job. The most frequent reason for employers to choose nonsubscribers status is they feel they can't afford workers' compensation coverage or they feel they can provide equal or better protection for their employees at less cost.
Owners and managers who elect nonsubscribers status should expect to spend a considerable part of their personal time and attention on preventing and reducing the seriousness of employee injuries. While only about 3 percent of nonsubscribers have been sued by employees for a work related injury, the costs related to the payment of damages and settlements can be substantial. The employer can also buy insurance to protect themselves from that liability.
Nonsubscribers must have good workplace safety programs. They must provide workplace injury benefits, communicate that plan to employees and provide quality medical care to injured employees. They must have a program to manage benefit claims. They must have programs to prevent and resolve disputes. Finally they must comply with applicable state and federal regulations. Your insurer should help you comply with all of the above requirements as part of their services.

Birds are one of the most popular subjects in nature photography. It's easy to understand why. Birds have inspired humans since we first started painting their images on the walls of Paleolithic caves. Surely the power of flight, more than any other quality that they possess, has fueled our fascination with birds throughout the ages.
Although capturing birds in flight is probably the most challenging form of bird photography, learning a few simple techniques can vastly improve your flight han ever for photographers to capture sharp images of flying birds.
Choosing a camera
Important functions to look for in an autofocus camera include track focusing, dynamic or multisensor focusing, matrix metering, and a motordrive or autowinder that allows you to shoot at least six frames per second. Track focusing is a vital function for photographing birds in flight—it locks onto a moving subject, detects its direction and speed, anticipates where the subject's new position will be, and keeps it in perpetual focus. Of course the camera's focus selector switch must be set in the continuous servo mode for track focusing to work. Perhaps more than any other, this bit of technology has increased the number of sharply focused flight images a photographer gets per roll of film.
Dynamic focus is also essential. This function activates all the focusing sensors in the viewfinder, one having been preselected by the photographer as the prime sensor. Once the prime sensor locks on the flying bird, the correct focus is maintained, even if the primary sensor slips off the subject. In dynamic focus mode, the secondary sensors keep the camera focused on the bird as it flies toward you, unless the subject moves completely out of your viewfinder. A great feature of dynamic focus is that once you get the bird in focus, you can frame it anywhere you want in the viewfinder. You don't have to keep the subject dead center to keep it in focus. Being able to frame the bird to the left or right in the viewfinder with empty space in front of it allows you to create a compositionally sound image—one that doesn't look like the bird is about to crash into the side of the picture.
Shooting multiple frames per second is critical for great flight photographs, and the more frames you shoot, the better. Why? Wing position is everything with birds in flight. Your images may be sharp and perfectly framed, but if the wing is too high, too low, or casts a shadow on the bird's head, the image is less effective. Using a motordrive and shooting at multiple frames per second increases the odds of getting an image with wings in the perfect position, capturing peak action.
Shooting with a high-speed motor-drive will significantly increase the amount of film you use, but that's what it takes to get the best flight images. Film is cheap compared with the cost of buying camera equipment or traveling to an exotic location. Shooting a few more rolls of film improves your chances of getting that great shot with little added cost.
Telephotos in the 300mm to 400mm range are the best overall lenses for flight photography. This range provides frame-filling images of large birds with extended wings. I prefer using a 300mm as a basic lens and add a 1.4x teleconverter if I need more magnification. When selecting a lens, be sure it has a limited focus range switch, which keeps the lens from having to search back and forth from infinity to its minimal focus distance if the autofocus sensors slip off the subject. Focusing all the way to one extreme or the other wastes vital time as the sensors attempt to lock on the subject again. Limiting the focus distance to between 5 and 10 meters, or 10 meters to infinity, reduces the amount of time the lens needs to focus or refocus on the bird. For larger birds such as cranes, herons, raptors, swans, and geese, the 10-meters-to-infinity range works best; for most waterfowl and small birds, the 5-to-10-meters range is better.
Vibration reduction or image stabilization lenses are becoming increasingly popular with bird photographers—particularly those who enjoy taking flight shots. Using these lenses, you can achieve a level of crispness in your pictures that would require a shutter speed three stops faster with a non-vibration-reduction lens. Built-in floating lens elements compensate for your movements and maintain as steady an image as possible without a tripod. These lenses also usually have an automatic sensor that detects when the lens is panning and compensates for the motion.
Camera mounts
I take a lot of flying bird images with my camera mounted on a tripod, because I happen to be shooting other subjects when a bird flies past. I use a ball head, which makes swinging the lens toward the passing subject quick and easy. If you plan on doing most of your flight photography with a tripod, a Wimberley head is an even better choice. The Wimberley head is like an altazimuth mount with the lens balanced on the vertical tilt. It allows you to make smooth horizontal and vertical sweeps with little effort, while keeping the lens perfectly balanced.
Some photographs are nearly impossible to take from a tripod. You can often photograph terns and gulls hanging in the air almost directly overhead—a situation in which a tripod will only inhibit your range of movement and speed. The camera can be handheld for these types of shots, and also when you're shooting down on flying birds from atop a cliff.
Another option for this kind of photography is a gunstock mount. Holding a camera and lens like a rifle keeps everything steady while allowing you a degree of movement unattainable with a tripod—provided that you take a firm stance and hold the gunstock tightly against your shoulder. I also attach a strap to the lens and loop it around my upper arm. I make the strap tight so that when my upper arm and elbow are placed against my body, it strengthens my upper forearm, which acts as a brace. I have never seen a commercial gunstock mount that I particularly like. Mine was custom-made by a friend and fits me perfectly. But regardless of whether you buy or make a gunstock mount, it should have a comfortable feel and a trigger to activate the autofocus and shutter release. With an autofocus lens and automatic-exposure camera, basically all you have to worry about is pointing the lens, composing the picture, and shooting. If you combine a gunstock mount with a vibration-reduction lens, you'll have a powerful tool for photographing birds in flight without a tripod.
Determining the correct exposure
Trying to set your f/stop and shutter speed as a bird flies toward you is a good way to lose a flight shot. For that reason I suggest using matrix metering set in shutter-priority, autoexposure mode. Shutter priority allows you to preset a fast shutter speed to freeze wing motion or a slower shutter speed to blur wing movement; at the same time an aperture is automatically selected to render a proper exposure. When you choose a fast shutter speed, a correspondingly larger aperture is selected and depth of field (the area in sharp focus) is sacrificed. (Remember, the lower your f/stop number, the larger your camera's aperture will be and the shallower the depth of field.) On the plus side, however, having less depth of field often renders distracting background elements pleasingly out of focus and puts more emphasis on your subject. Compositionally, this is called selective focus. If you choose a slower shutter speed, your camera automatically selects a correspondingly smaller aperture setting. Depth of field increases, but so does the possibility of getting a blurry image due to camera shake and subject movement.
It is important to note that matrix metering works great most of the time. But be aware that no metering system will properly expose white or black subjects unless you override your light meter to compensate. (See article "White Birds Exposed.") White clouds and other light areas in the sky may also affect the accuracy of your camera's exposure metering and require exposure compensation.
Cameras, lenses, motordrives, and mounting systems are important, but technique is what makes it possible to use all that technology to its fullest potential.
For a beginner, one of the most difficult aspects of flight photography is sighting the bird in the viewfinder and keeping it there. A technique that works well for me is to prefocus my lens at the distance I expect to pick up the flying bird in my viewfinder. That distance will vary with the speed at which the bird is flying, but about 300 to 350 feet is a good average focus distance. To accomplish this, prefocus on the ground or another object at the given distance, then choose a flying bird to photograph and sight it in the viewfinder. Sighting on the bird while it is farther away makes it easier to pick up in your viewfinder. As the bird flies toward your camera, it will begin to come into focus. When the image appears almost sharp, depress the shutter release halfway. The track focus sensor will activate and lock onto the flying bird, bringing it into and keeping it in focus as it continues to fly toward you. Although it sounds like a considerable amount of time passes when you use this technique, be forewarned: the whole thing takes place in a matter of seconds.
The technique for keeping flying birds in the viewfinder is called panning. You pick up the bird in your viewfinder and simply follow it in a horizontal plane, sweeping the lens along smoothly in the direction the bird is flying. This is where dynamic and track focusing become most effective, keeping the bird in constant focus as you pan. When you begin shooting, gently squeeze the shutter release, keeping the lens steady and avoiding jerky motions, and continue panning until you finish the sequence.
Panning works because it achieves a relative speed of zero between the camera lens and the subject. Panning with a fast shutter speed freezes the subject as well as the background. A slow shutter speed blurs the wings and background while most of the bird's body remains sharp. For most large birds, shutter speeds of 1/250 of a second or faster freeze wing motion. Slower shutter speeds will cause wing blurring in your images, but blurred wings are not a bad thing in flight photography. The blurring effect shows movement and action, lending visual support to the feeling of flight. Don't be afraid to experiment with slow shutter speeds while panning. Some of the most creative and artistic bird images are made in this way.
Many excellent images of flying birds are made as they take off or land. Waterfowl, herons, egrets, cranes, birds of prey, shorebirds, and seabirds generally fly into the wind when they're first becoming airborne and when they're descending to land. Although taking pictures at this time usually requires panning with your camera, the birds are moving much slower and more predictably than usual, and they are easier to follow.
Having knowledge of your subject is important in any type of photography, but with birds it is essential. If you always observe birds closely and learn as much as possible about their behavior, you'll develop an almost intuitive sense of when a bird is going to fly. Before a bird takes flight, it often stands very alert, turning its head in many different directions, checking out its surroundings. It also turns into the wind. But most important, right before they fly, birds often defecate, perhaps to lighten their load. Being aware of these simple clues, you'll be ready for action when they take off. Be sure to place the bird in the lower left or right side of the viewfinder, leaving space for the bird to jump into the frame as it takes flight. Because birds land into the wind, make sure the wind is at your back or at a right angle as you shoot. If the wind is blowing in your face, all you'll photograph is the backs of birds.
Where can you go to find flying birds to photograph? You should be prepared anytime you're taking pictures in the field, but your best opportunities will come in places where birds are flying to or from their feeding grounds. At rookeries you can take pictures of birds flying near their nests. At seabird cliffs, you can photograph birds soaring on updrafts. Staging areas along migratory routes are great places to find cranes, waterfowl, and shorebirds to photograph. Also check out local city ponds and lakes. Waterfowl frequent these locations, flying to them in the morning and leaving in the evening like clockwork.
These are a few basic tips and techniques that will help you improve your flight photography. As you work in the field, you will customize these techniques to fit your own unique style of shooting. So load up the gear, take lots of film, and with luck and hard work you'll get some great images of flying birds.
Bobby Harrison is an associate professor of art and photography at Oakwood College in Huntsville, Alabama, and a well-known bird photographer.

Rel. 399b
Spring 2010
Senior Seminar, Spring 2010
Information for Senior Religion Majors
The work of the Senior Seminar in Religion consists of five stages: I) the formulation of a thesis proposal; II) presentation of the proposal; III) presentation of a portion of work in progress; IV) the writing and submission of first and final drafts; V) oral discussion with department faculty. This information sheet summarizes the seminar's activities, meeting times, and due dates. Attendance at all sessions, careful preparation, and active participation are required.
I. Formulation of a Thesis Proposal:
During the first semester, all seniors will meet with the convener of the Senior Seminar and receive instructions about the preparation of the thesis proposal and the various activities of the Senior SEminar in Religion.. All seniors should arrange to meet with a faculty member in the Department who can advise you on defining your topic, narrowing its focus, and formulating your proposal: see guidelines on preparing the thesis proposal.
Every senior's thesis topic should be linked directly to his or her work in the major. The thesis proposal should state the question(s) you wish to explore and the material (texts, music, art, architecture, etc.) to which you will put the question(s) or upon which you will draw in order to address the question(s). This proposal should not exceed one, double-spaced typewritten page. You will be able to adjust your topic as work proceeds, but the proposal should represent your most precise and explicit formulation of the topic at the time you submit it. You should also prepare a revised Religion Major Worksheet (originally prepared for Junior Colloquium), together with a clear narrative statement of how you came up with this topic and how your work in the major has prepared you to write on this topic.
Please submit your proposal together with the revised Religion Major Worksheet and narrative statement by 3 p.m. on Monday, November 23, 2009. Send one copy electronically of both documents by email attachment in Word to Andrea Pergolese (Administrative Assistant in Gest) firstname.lastname@example.com.
Library meeting. All of you should meet with James Gulick about scholarly resources relating to your thesis topic. If you have not yet scheduled this meeting, please do so as soon as possible. Before you leave for semester break, you should begin to compile a list of the basic works (primary and secondary) you will need for your research.
Departmental Response. Department faculty participating in the seminar will review and discuss all of the draft proposals and clarify the assignment of thesis advisor(s) for each project. Your thesis advisor(s) will send you a memo by campus mail or e-mail with the department's advice by December 18. If you have not received the memo by the time you leave for break, please let Anne McGuire (email@example.com) know where to send it.
Break. Over break you should revise your thesis proposal in light of comments from your faculty advisor and continue to compile a list of the basic works (primary and secondary) you will need for your research, especially those texts that will be included in your initial annotated bibliography. Upon your return to campus in January, you should be able to present a revised thesis proposal as well as a detailed annotated bibliography of several key texts for your research.
General Advice for Second Semester: The department expects all of you to use a computer for your thesis, and strongly encourages you to keep back-ups of all thesis materials. In the spring semester, you should set aside a minimum of fifteen hours per week for work on your thesis, in addition to weekly meetings with your advisor. Remember to allow additional time for any typing, revising, printing, or photocopying that may be required--and build in even more time for unforeseen emergencies.
Semester: Senior Seminar usually meets on Tuesday evenings 7:30-10:00 pm in
the Gest Lounge. We will announce in the near future whether we will be
meeting on Tuesday evenings or another evening in 2010.
We will announce in the near future whether we will be meeting on Tuesday evenings or another evening in 2010.
II. Presentation of the Revised Thesis Proposal: Senior Seminar will meet as a group five times during the Spring semester. All of these meetings will be held in the Gest Lounge. Dates are based on the assumption that Senior Seminar will meet on Tuesday, 7:30-10 p.m. in the Gest lounge. This is still subject to change, but should be confirmed soon.
Weeks I
and II: Gest lounge : Tuesday, 7:30 p.m., January 19 and 26, 2010
: Tuesday, 7:30 p.m., January 19 and 26, 2010
Bring 23 copies of your revised proposal and annotated bibliography. Each student will present her/his proposal and discuss briefly the current state of her/his thinking about the project. All should come prepared to raise questions to help clarify and refine the conception of the project. We usually allow 15-20 minutes for the presentation and discussion of each proposal.
The next step is to continue your research and to begin writing. Each of you must set up a schedule for meeting with your advisor every week to discuss your progress and questions, and to receive responses on the written material ("thesis draft") you'll be handing in on a regular basis. In the first weeks, you should be preparing a portion of thesis draft for presentation and discussion at our February meetings.
III. Presentation of A Writing Sample Of Work In Progress: Meetings III and IV. Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. February 16 and 23, 2010
Prepare a writing sample of 4-5 pages and an outline of your project for presentation and discussion. Find a portion of your writing that best represents the central claim or argument of your thesis, its most crucial interpretation, or the key to the whole that you see emerging. Also prepare a brief outline that shows how you think this portion of writing will fit into the thesis as a whole.
***Please note that at this point we expect you to have written more than 5 pages, but we want you to present only 4-5 pages of that work.
Submission of Your Excerpt: 1 Electronic Copy in MS Word to Blackboard
Please place one electronic version (Microsoft Word) inside the Blackboard course web page by 12 noon of the Friday preceding your presentation (Friday, February 12 for those who went the first week; Friday, February 19 for those who went the second week). If you need assistance in submitting your electronic copy, send your Word document as an email attachment to Anne McGuire (email@example.com) and she will place it on the server. Each of you will be expected to read and comment on all of these documents before the Tuesday evening seminar. You should downloand and/or print your own copies from the Blackboard page.
Written responses to writing selections
Each response should be at least one paragraph in length and should consist of three things:
1) a concise summary of the basic point, question, or theme of the writing selection;
2) the single most important question the writing sample leaves you wondering about; and
3) the best advice you have for the author.
Send electronic versions (Microsoft Word) of each response to the convener, Anne McGuire (email@example.com). In addition, bring a printed copy of each of your responses to deliver to the authors of the samples. Written responses will be assessed for the extent to which they demonstrate careful reading and thoughtful consideration of the writing samples.
Presentation of a portion of written work and outline.
Those presenting will be asked to comment briefly on their work and especially to identify questions they would like to have considered by the group. Everyone should come prepared to offer comments and raise questions in order to help each presenter make progress on his or her project.
After these sessions, you should continue to meet weekly with your thesis advisor(s). It is strongly recommended that you try to submit to your advisor at least 5 pages of thesis draft per week.
IV. The Writing and Submission of the First And Final Drafts
Friday, Mar. 26 First draft due.
By 12 noon, submit a complete computer-printed draft of your thesis to your advisor. By "complete" we mean a draft in which all principal sections are present and in proper order, and one in which a reader can follow your discussion from beginning to end. The precise state of the draft and the date when your advisor will return it to you with comments are to be worked out individually with your advisor.
Monday, Apr. 19 Final draft due.
By 12 noon, submit 8 hard copies of your thesis plus one electronic copy, complete with bibliography, notes (presented in conformity with the Chicago Manual of Style, 13th Edition, unless another standard style sheet is agreed upon with your advisor), and a one or two page Abstract that clearly and concisely summarizes your thesis (this should be included at the very beginning of your thesis, before your introduction). All theses will be read by all members of the department. The copies and electronic version must be delivered to Andrea Pergolese (Administrative Assistant) on the second floor of Gest. This deadline is non-negotiable, and failure to meet it will result instantly and automatically in a one-position change in the grade for the thesis (e.g., from 3.0 to 2.7); the grade reduction will increase one position for every subsequent 24 hours the thesis is late. Please note: neither your advisor nor the convener of the seminar can authorize any extension. Only the department as a whole, generally in consultation with the student's dean, can authorize any extensions, which must be requested in advance.
Tuesday, April 27, 7:30pm - Senior Party and Discussion
We will all meet informally in the Gest lounge with food and drink to recall our great thesis moments. Each student will share a brief summary of his or her thesis so that all can hear and learn.
May 3-5 Oral Discussion.
There will be a sign-up sheet for the oral discussion available when you hand in your thesis in Gest. All orals will take place on Monday, May 3, Tuesday, May 4 and Wednesday, May 5. Sign up will be in order of submission of theses--the earlier you turn in your thesis, the greater your choice of times. Allow 60 minutes for the oral and subsequent discussion with the department. Your final grade for senior seminar will be sent to you by mail shortly after the oral exam.
Grading Procedures
You will receive a regular course grade for Rel. 399b, which will appear on your transcript. This overall grade is comprised of three separate grades that evaluate:
(a) your participation in the seminar process outlined above
(b) the quality of your thesis
(c) the effectiveness of your oral
(a) "Participation" in the seminar means 1) punctual attendance at all seminar events, 2) careful preparation, especially the reading of your colleagues' work in progress, and 3) regular meetings with your advisor and submission of writing, according to the schedule mutually agreed upon.
(b) "Quality" of thesis (see attached description). Your thesis will be read by all members of the department, who will mutually agree upon a grade for the written thesis. This grade will be averaged and factored into your final grade for the thesis and seminar after the oral.
(c) "Effectiveness" of oral exam.
The effectiveness of your oral discussion will be factored into the final grade for the thesis and for the seminar as a whole. All members of the department will participate in your oral discussion, but your adviser will not participate in the process of the final evaluation and grading of your work.
What Should You Aim For In A Thesis?
Writing a thesis that you and the faculty will be proud of is a considerable challenge. Although you will draw on a variety of skills you have practiced in other courses, you will now be constructing a work that will be longer (40-60 pages) and far more complex than any paper you have previously written. The following description offers one way of looking at some of the various aspects of the challenge of thesis writing.
1. Thesis, Argument and Evidence. All presentations should make a specific claim (the thesis) and present an argument for that claim on the basis of evidence. The nature of the claim, the presentation and exposition of the argument, and the character of the supporting evidence will vary from field to field and from topic to topic. But a mere summary of a text is not a thesis; a simple recital of facts is not an argument; and the sheer assertion of opinion is not evidence. Your claim should be clear to any knowledgeable reader; the argument that articulates the claim should be easily discernible, and it should progress from point to point with precision and according to some sort of logical progression. Both claim and argument should be supported by clear and convincing evidence.
2. Use of Sources. Your project should be firmly grounded in your own analysis of the relevant primary sources. You should be able to come to independent judgments about the meaning and significance of these sources, and your analysis of them should be characterized by precision and attention to detail. Resist the temptation to summarize rather than analyze primary sources, or to use them as illustrations of general assertions of your own. We also expect you to draw on relevant secondary sources, and they should also be used analytically and critically. While you should not allow any secondary source to predetermine your own insights into the primary material, there are circumstances in which a judicious use of secondary sources can aid you early on in the formulation of your project. The best theses will bring their arguments into debate with some arguments of other scholars in the field. You should specify in the notes references to sources of all kinds, whether quoted directly, paraphrased, or summarized. Plagiarism is best avoided by coming to your own judgments on the basis of primary sources without prematurely filtering them through secondary sources. All sources to which you are indebted must, of course, be cited in the footnotes and bibliography.
3. Originality, Inventiveness, Creativity, Willingness to Explore. These terms characterize work that goes beyond mere summary (however careful, fair, complete and elegant) of an issue in order to explore new possibilities or offer insightful and original analyses. Hard to specify, but "we know it when we see it." These qualities most clearly set apart A papers from B papers; strive for them.
4. Organization and Coherence. This involves setting out the argument, evidence, sources, and insights in a clear, well-ordered way that any intelligent reader can follow. This is the transformation of heterogeneous materials into a cogent, persuasive essay. The way a paper is laid out is important: it should be the precise literary form that best articulates the progression of your argument (to be distinguished from the actual progression of your inner thought processes as you come to conceive of your argument). Your must transform the private progression of thoughts in your mind into an orderly public presentation written for a competent reader. It may be useful to imagine the reader of your thesis as an intelligent and well-educated person who has relatively little knowledge of your topic. Your job is not only to inform the reader about the topic, but to persuade her/him of your argument.
5. Presentation. Your thesis should attain the greatest degree of physical perfection possible: we are referring here to proofreading, spelling, page lay-out, illustrations (if any), table of contents, title, index (if any), etc. Writing an essay is a craft--like building a fine piece of furniture--and the physical presentation of your essay conveys a number of messages to your reader, including how you regard the thesis itself and how you want your readers to approach it.

The Wall Street Journal reports that Kodak has received a bid for its digital patent portfolio.
According to the Journal, a consortium of bidders has offered more than $500 million dollars for the patents.
People familiar with the offer tell the paper that no final deal has been reached yet. Brennan Redmond of Brighton Securities says a patent sale is one of three things Kodak needs to do to emerge from bankruptcy. He says consumers will see a much different Kodak.
Redmond says, "The things that people have been used to seeing regarding Kodak: film in the checkout aisles of Wegmans, the digital cameras at Best Buy are gone."

BAKERSFIELD - Bakersfield is getting a shoutout thanks to a young motocross star.
Eight-year-old Ryder Difrancesco was featured in a GoPro video called "Tikes on Bikes" taken at a race in Las Vegas in May. In it, he raced his way to first place and the renowned helmet camera maker just recently chose it as its national featured video of the week.
The tiny cameras called GoPros, capture the bird's eye view of tiny riders. One was mounted 49 inches up, on top of Ryder Difrancesco's helmet.
"It was actually a fun day. And, they had a GoPro on me when I was walking around and stuff like that, and that was cool to watch," said Difrancesco.
Ryder was named by his father, a world champion speedway racer.
"He just named me Ryder and I just started racing," said Difrancesco.
He started riding at the age of two and racing when he was four. At six, he became the youngest to win the Loretta Lynn National Championship. And at seven, he was the first ever to win the race two years in a row.
In May, Ryder was chosen among thousands of young riders to compete in the K.T.M. Challenge in Las Vegas, signing autographs for a crowd of half a million. And, for the first time, Ryder was racing with a GoPro attached to his helmet.
"You don't realize how fast they really go until you see the GoPro. He's just really good on a motorcycle," said Lisa Difrancesco, Ryder's mother.
"I was on the gate. I felt nervous. The gate dropped and I was like in fifth. And, one lap it took and I got into first and the white flag came out," recalled Ryder. "I went to the checkered flag and I felt better than I ever have."
Organizers of the race edited clips of the GoPros together and sent the video of Ryder's win to the camera maker.
Last week, out of a world of entries, GoPro chose it to feature.
"Well, we had no idea it made video of the week for GoPro until my friend sent it to me. And, we didn't think it was a really big deal. And, everyone was like, no. That made video of the week. That's a big deal because that's nationwide," said Lisa Difrancesco.
"There's a lot of pros out there that wear GoPros, so I did it. I can't believe they didn't get picked," said Ryder.
Since Ryder won that race, he moves on to compete with about a dozen other regional winners October 19th in Las Vegas for the national championship. And, at that race, he will again be wearing a GoPro.
