BUFFALO, N.Y.- Starting Friday, the Buffalo Police Department will be posting photos on their website of those arrested for soliciting prostitutes.
An undercover sting with female officers has been on-going since July.
"We're not trying to embarrass anybody, we're just trying to stop the behavior. This is a quality of life issue with prostitution, it turns into other crimes, whether its robberies, assaults, larcenies. It's a quality of life issue for the neighborhoods. We've received lots of complaints. It's just another way of attacking the problem," said Buffalo Police Commissioner Dan Derenda.

LOWVILLE After maintaining a seasonal home here for the past decade, a longtime environmental planning consultant from New Jersey has joined the Lewis County planning department.
Im looking forward to contributing to the community, said Frank J. Pace, who began work last week as senior planner in the county Department of Economic Development and Planning. This is a great place to live. This is where I want to be.
Were definitely happy to have him, said Eric J. Virkler, director of the now three-person department. I think his experience and knowledge will be a good fit for what we do, and he seems very interested in benefiting Lewis County.
Mr. Pace, who has operated an environmental consulting and project management firm in the Garden State for more than 20 years and has been visiting this area for nearly 30 years, last year married Lowville resident Patricia Hellinger-Pace and decided to close his business so he wouldnt have to keep splitting time between here and his native state.
However, the new job is bittersweet for him, as the county has been without a planner since Renee J. Beyer, Mr. Paces niece through marriage, died of injuries suffered in a two-vehicle crash in April in the town of Harrisburg.
Renee had a great passion for this community and her work, he said. Im going to do my best to continue along that path.
Mr. Pace said much of his work as a consultant dealt with redevelopment projects, including environmentally contaminated brownfields.
The largest was the four-year development of the $200 million New Jersey Motorsports Park in Millville, which opened for racing in 2008 at the site of a former Army airfield that is now a municipal airport and employs about 125 people, he said.
Mr. Pace said his firm did predevelopment and environmental work on the project and helped to secure roughly $7 million in grant funding.
Everybody got along great, he said. Thats what can be done when you have good planning.
The new planner spent much of his first week on the job meeting people and reviewing ongoing projects, including redevelopment efforts by the Lewis County Development Corp. at the former Lyons Falls Pulp & Paper mill.
Everyone is very nice, he said. Its a great place to work.
Before starting his own business, Mr. Pace spent eight years in law enforcement, the last several as a police chief, then switched gears to engineering and was manager of a division of Aamco Oil. He holds a bachelors degree in engineering safety.
Mr. Pace is also a professional environmental auditor, has had a couple of professional articles published and holds a patent on a mobile system designed to clean contaminated soil within two to three days.

Canadians making their mark in Dublin
Earlier this year we asked Canadians from coast to coast to share their stories about how they've left their mark as a Canadian, and lots of people started sharing their memories and adventures with us. The Make Your Mark contest ended with us sending 12 lucky Canadians on a weekend trip to Dublin, Ireland!
Upon arrival, the winners tried their hand at Irish dancing, hurling, gaelic football and many more activities as part of their weekend adventure.
Kiss me, I'm Canadian!
The group visited a variety of pubs and purchased Molson Canadian beers for other guests, and celebrated in true Canadian-style. Beavers, Mounties and beer, oh my!
Don't believe us? Just watch the video below to get a taste of what happened when Canadians got together…in the Emerald Isle!

Abandoned pets waiting to be adopted in Jefferson County now have exciting news to meow and bark about.
Watertown's Petco store used to showcase only a few cats up for adoption from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Jefferson County, housed in a small station with cubby holes. But that small partnership soon will balloon into an 1,100-square-foot adoption center to be featured at the store at the Towne Center plaza off Arsenal Street.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Petco franchise totaling more than $200,000, for the past three weeks workers have been busy building the SPCA center, which is set to open in early December. The center will include separate spaces to house 30 to 40 kittens and cats, four dogs and a range of small pets including hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, mice, rabbits and chinchillas. A 300-square-foot play area for the dogs will enable prospective owners to get to know pets firsthand by interacting with them.
A devout pet lover, store manager Heather L. Roux has been a cheerleader backing the cause to launch an SPCA adoption center for the past five years at the store, which will be among only a handful in the country that feature them. Along with the grant funding to build the center, Petco will contribute $2,500 a month — $30,000 a year — to pay for staff, pet supplies and food needed by the SPCA each year to operate the center. Under the plan, the facility will be leased by the SPCA for $1 a year.
"I've been asking Petco to do this for years, and we had to build a rally to do it," Ms. Roux said Friday while giving a tour of the center. "I've seen the way demand for adopted pets has grown here over the years, and the shelter has attempted to expand but didn't have enough funding. (Petco) has been amazing about giving back to the community, and we expect the center to increase our traffic flow. It's a great thing for the community."
The SPCA has hired a full-time certified veterinary technician to work five days a week at the center, who will be assisted by a part-time worker and volunteers. Visitors seeking to find a pet will be directed by Petco employees to look at animals in the adoption center first, Ms. Roux said, before they're directed to see the animals sold by the store. Animals up for adoption are sold at about half the cost of the store's prices, she said, and all of the proceeds from those purchases will flow directly to the SPCA. Those who adopt pets also will receive a complimentary adoption booklet from Petco including coupons for food, equipment and services tailored toward the pets they purchase.
The center "is a great thing for the community," she said, "and when people see it, they're going to be impressed."
Douglas J. Marlow, who was hired as the SPCA director in January, said the center at Petco will increase the visibility of adoptable pets at the center by providing an ideal venue in a high-traffic area; the store is on the west side of the city, while the shelter is based on Water Street in the east. The shelter also plans to purchase iPad mini devices to be used at both locations, allowing visitors interested in viewing animals remotely to stream live video footage using the phones.
"We're in the center of one of the most significant pet retail operations in Jefferson County, and the traffic through there is going to give us greater visibility," Mr. Marlow said. "Not only is it on the west end of town, but it's on Arsenal Street, one of the biggest areas in the community."
Mr. Marlow has significantly reduced the number of cats and dogs housed at the shelter since he became director as a way to provide them with more space, which has improved their health. Some 150 animals, mostly cats, were housed at the shelter and foster homes when he took over in January. At the same time, about 25 cats were being treated for respiratory diseases and eye problems, which he attributed to the overcrowding of animals up for adoption at the time. Thanks to a high number of adoptions, the number of animals has been reduced to 55 this year after the shelter was renovated to offer more space for cats; only one cat is now being treated for an illness.
Given the limited space available at the SPCA, he said, the Petco center will play an instrumental role by increasing the number of adopted pets in Jefferson County. "We'll be able to take more animals and place more in the community," he said, lauding Petco staff's efforts to get the project approved. "Heather and her staff made the effort to push the corporate offices to consider the adoption center in our area. It's very significant they chose Watertown out of all the Petco stores. Because of the (strong) economy and Fort Drum, foot traffic there is significant, and I think they felt it was a (justified) return to the community."

Unaccustomed Earthby Jhumpa Lahiri
Staff Pick
Unaccustomed Earth is in many ways a deeply and authentically sad book. I would not advise reading the stories too quickly; they will each haunt you for days afterward (and, unusually in a collection like this, they are all equally strong). But Lahiri's prose is worth it; her work is masterful, confident, and timeless, and this gorgeously written collection of stories is her strongest fiction yet.
"Jhumpa Lahiri is, and is not, an old-fashioned writer. She is too natural to be anyone's imitator. Yet the kind of relationship she invites readers into can feel familiar from some of the books we were drawn into long ago, when we were first learning about the good company reading can provide." Sarah Kerr, The New York Review of Books (Read the entire New York Review of Books review)
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
Publisher Comments:
From the internationally best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning author, a superbly crafted new work of fiction: eight stories — longer and more emotionally complex than any she has yet written — that take us from Cambridge and Seattle to India and Thailand as they enter the lives of sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers, daughters and sons, friends and lovers.
In the stunning title story, Ruma, a young mother in a new city, is visited by her father, who carefully tends the earth of her garden, where he and his grandson form a special bond. But he's harboring a secret from his daughter, a love affair he's keeping all to himself. In A Choice of Accommodations, a husband's attempt to turn an old friend's wedding into a romantic getaway weekend with his wife takes a dark, revealing turn as the party lasts deep into the night. In Only Goodness, a sister eager to give her younger brother the perfect childhood she never had is overwhelmed by guilt, anguish, and anger when his alcoholism threatens her family. And in Hema and Kaushik, a trio of linked stories — a luminous, intensely compelling elegy of life, death, love, and fate — we follow the lives of a girl and boy who, one winter, share a house in Massachusetts. They travel from innocence to experience on separate, sometimes painful paths, until destiny brings them together again years later in Rome.
Unaccustomed Earth is rich with Jhumpa Lahiri's signature gifts: exquisite prose, emotional wisdom, and subtle renderings of the most intricate workings of the heart and mind. It is a masterful, dazzling work of a writer at the peak of her powers.
"The author's ability to flesh out completely even minor characters...will keep readers invested in the work until its heartbreaking conclusion." Library Journal
"An eye for detail, ear for dialogue and command of family dynamics distinguish this uncommonly rich collection." Kirkus Reviews
"Each of Lahiri's stories is a powerful tale that pulls us in, mesmerizes us while we're there, and releases us with the knowledge that we've just experienced a small masterpiece. This is truly dazzling fiction at its best." Oregonian
"The stories...are both memorable and unpredictable. And while they reflect another culture, they also edge into our lives resulting in a universal experience filled with emotional connections that cross borders." Chicago Sun-Times
"A Chekhovian sense of loss blows through these new stories: a reminder of Ms. Lahiri's appreciation of the wages of time and mortality and her understanding too of the missed connections that plague her husbands and wives, parents and children, lovers and friends." Michiko Kakutani, New York Times
"[A] powerful collection of short stories....As in all her fiction, Lahiri's prose here is deceptively simple, its mechanics invisible, as she enters into her characters' innermost journeys." Los Angeles Times
"These stories are often doleful and elegiac, but Unaccustomed Earth is cause for celebration: It showcases a considerable talent in full bloom." San Francisco Chronicle
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Lahiri delivers eight dazzling stories that take readers from Cambridge and Seattle to India and Thailand as they explore the secrets at the heart of family life.
About the Author
Jhumpa Lahiri was born in London and raised in Rhode Island. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and the author of two previous books. Her debut collection of stories, Interpreter of Maladies, was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, the PEN/Hemingway Award, and The New Yorker Debut of the Year. Her novel The Namesake was a New York Times Notable Book, a Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist, and was selected as one of the best books of the year by USA Today and Entertainment Weekly, among other publications. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.

Attention: What
I'm about to share with you will allow you to increase your Free search
"Get Unlimited Highly-Targeted,
I'm not going to waste any time here with fluff and the typical drawn out sales routine. Instead, I'm going to get straight to the meat of what this system can and will do for you.
Here's a few stats from others in our network who are just like you.
These current users aren't more intelligent than you and don't posess some super-ninja secrets that allow them to succeed online. The fact is, they're just like you. The only difference between them and you is they started using MyArticleNetwork sooner...
Here To Claim Your Seat and
"Is This a Bunch of Hype?"
And you're absolutely right to ask that question.
If I hadn't seen similar results with my own two eyes from my own sites in the network, there's no way I would believe this was true. Simply put, I know exactly how you feel.
So I'll be frank with you.
This is unlike any other traffic generation service online. So trying to compare this system to something else you've seen or used is really diffcult to do, if not impossible.
You've heard of article marketing... submitting your articles to directories, waiting for backlinks to build over time, yada yada yada... Well, this is a new generation of article marketing. It's what I like to call, Article Marketing 2.0.
That may sound a bit cliche, so if you'd like I could call
it article marketing 3.0. Whatever it's called... it's article marketing
taken to the next level, and then even on to the next level after that.
It's really that much more powerful than any other article
marketing or traffic generation service out there.
MyArticleNetwork, you'll be able to force-feed
And how annoying is it to submit your article to an article marketing service that supposedly dispurses your articles to hundreds of directories...then you have to wait 6 weeks before your article is even published on any of those directories?
Not only that, but then you have wait even longer, potentially several months before your content is picked up by related niche websites across the net.
Having your content picked up these niche sites is one of the major reasons why everyone and their brother is submitting articles to article directories like EzineArticles and GoArticles. They all want topic-related website owners to pick up their content from these directories, post it to their blogs, and in the end build backlinks and traffic from it.
The problem is not that you're doing things completely wrong or that your content is bad.
Trust me, this is NOT your fault.
"Until Now, There Hasn't Been a Better Way."
There are thousands upon thousands of articles being submitted every single day, clogging these directories with content similar to yours. And let's be honest with ourselves... there's very little chance of our articles being picked up by someone else. I mean, it can happen and it does happen sometimes. But for all of the time and effort that we put into submitting our articles, the results we're getting just aren't worth it.
The basic strategy behind article marketing works something like this:
Does this "old school" type of article marketing still work? ABSOLUTELY!
That's not the problem. The problem is that you're wasting hours upon hours, and even days playing the whole waiting game with these article directories, submissions, and hoping that a related, niche website will pick up your content.
So what if there was a better way to achieve that end result of "getting
more free traffic"?
"What if you had control of the sites you post your content to, post it immediately with little to no wait time, and start seeing One-Way backlinks in a matter of minutes?"
"It Works Even Better Than I Had Initially Thought"
Here are some recent stats taken from our network (in case you'd like to see what sort of results you can achieve)...
* stats vary depending on the day they're taken
Let's get one thing straight before we continue...
I can't stand black-hat, unethical, and "scheme-type" methods when it comes to anything I'm associated with (online or offline). That's not how I work, nor is it who I am as a person.
The service we've built is 100% legit and ethical. It's not about doing any "dirty" spamming of your content onto other websites across the internet to build "fake backlinks". We're not here to trick Google.
I am talking about posting your content onto great, high quality blogs that want solid content from you on specific and related niche topics.
MyArticleNetwork.com Was Born...
Increase Your Free Search Engine
Traffic By Getting Several,
As of today, we have over 10,000 sites in our network.
This is an ever-growing list of sites as new members join and current
members add more and more sites. Simply put, it's an exponentially expanding
network of sites that you will have full access to, allowing you to post
relevant theme-content to.
Do I Have
To Be A Marketing Genius
MyArticleNetwork was built so that anyone can do it. No matter what level you are as a marketer, this system will work for you.
The process couldn't be any easier...
I know, it sounds like pretty easy stuff, right? ;-)
If it's so easy, then why isn't everyone doing it?!
Simple... Until Now, there has never been a distribution network like this available to the public.
Think of MyArticleNetwork as your own personal content distribution channel. It would be like you owning over 10,000 blogs on the internet with different I.P. addresses and across several different niche topics. Then, you could mass disribute your content to those blogs with just a few simple mouse clicks.
There's no other place online where you can get this much mass distribution of your content!
And from an SEO standpoint, you can't get any more search engine friendly than this.
The sites in our network are owned by other people just like you. We don't own these sites, nor do we host all of them. Not only that, but we also filter the sites that we allow into the network. We don't want spammy sites or anything that is going to degrade the value for our members.
So in Google's eyes, you can't get any more legit than this... It's as good as it gets!
Don't Try To Trick
Google, It Won't Work!
After joining MyArticleNetwork and submitting your content to our HUGE network of sites, you'll quickly start seeing more backlinks, and consequently higher search engine rankings and similar increases in traffic just like our current members. This service has helped thousands of users take their sites to the FIRST page of Google in a matter of days...
With MyArticleNetwork you'll be able to...
Here To Join Now
I want to see you succeed just like our other members have. And I don't want price to be a constraint.

Brisingr (Inheritance Cycle #3)by Christopher Paolini
Staff Pick
Brilliant! This, the third book in the Inheritance Cycle, was well worth the wait. There are dragons, thrills, and action aplenty — enough to satisfy any reader.
Brisingr, the third book in Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle, is one of the most highly anticipated books of the year. Sure to please both fans and newcomers, Paolini continues the dragon tale that has captivated its devoted readership.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Perfect for fans of Lord of the Rings, the New York Times bestselling Inheritance Cycle about the dragon rider Eragon has sold over 35 million copies and is an international fantasy sensation.
Oaths sworn . . . loyalties tested . . . forces collide.
Following the colossal battle against the Empire's warriors on the Burning Plains, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives. Still there is more at hand for the Rider and his dragon, as Eragon finds himself bound by a tangle of promises he may not be able to keep.
First is Eragon's oath to his cousin Roran: to help rescue Roran's beloved, Katrina, from King Galbatorix's clutches. But Eragon owes his loyalty to others, too. The Varden are in desperate need of his talents and strength—as are the elves and dwarves. When unrest claims the rebels and danger strikes from every corner, Eragon must make choices— choices that take him across the Empire and beyond, choices that may lead to unimagined sacrifice.
Eragon is the greatest hope to rid the land of tyranny. Can this once-simple farm boy unite the rebel forces and defeat the king?
"The much-anticipated third book in Paolini's Inheritance Cycle continues to rely heavily on classic fantasy tropes. The novel launches with magician and Dragon Rider Eragon, his cousin Roran and the dragon Saphira on a quest to rescue Roran's betrothed. The cousins soon split up, and Roran undergoes his own series of heroic tests, culminating in a well-choreographed and intense fight against an Urgal (a ram-human hybrid). Eragon, at the same time, encounters treacherous dwarves, undergoes even more training with the elf Oromis and gains a magical sword suitable for a Dragon Rider. The silly revelations about Eragon's background in the previous book, Eldest, are given a new spin near the end, but the change is neither unexpected nor interesting. Predictably, the book concludes with even more character deaths and another battle, but those expecting a resolution will have to wait until the next novel. The cliched journey may appeal to younger readers of genre fiction. Older teens, even those who might have first cut their teeth on Paolini's writing years ago, are less likely to be impressed. Ages 12-up." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
I've got a secret. When I was 13, I was fixated on the role-playing game Dungeons & Dragons. I usually sat in the Dungeon Master's chair, unleashing rich characters and exciting situations that seemed, to my friends at least, to have been created out of thin air. Truth is, I just read more fantasy than they did — often all through the night — and could steal freely from books they hadn't read.... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) So I feel a certain kinship with Christopher Paolini, whose first novel, "Eragon," about a 15-year-old boy who discovers a dragon egg, may have had a similar genesis. While young readers devoured the novel, some adult readers cried foul. The teenage author, they argued, had stolen from fantasy greats like J.R.R. Tolkien and Anne McCaffrey, and even borrowed from "Star Wars." Worse, much of the book was awkwardly overwritten. Despite the complaints, Paolini's books — "Eldest" followed "Eragon" in 2005 — have sold something like 15 million copies. That number has increased by more than half a million just this week with the release of "Brisingr," the third novel of a promised four in his Inheritance cycle. "Brisingr" opens with Eragon — accompanied by his dragon, Saphira, and his cousin Roran — hunting the foul Ra'zac and giant Lethrblaka monsters in their underground lair. Partially a mission to rescue Katrina, Roran's betrothed, and partially a quest to revenge the murder of Eragon's uncle, the subterranean death match is rendered in clipped, muscular language: "A huge, twisted shape hurtled out of the lancet passageway. Eyes black, bulging, rimless. A beak seven feet long. Batlike wings. The torso naked, hairless, rippling with muscle. Claws like iron spikes." If that's not enough, the thing stinks, too. And it is not alone. But this opening brawl is just a bit of unfinished business from the previous book, a way to sink the claws back into readers. The Ra'zac and Lethrblaka are agents of the true enemy, King Galbatorix, the rogue Dragon Rider turned sorcerer tyrant. It's the ongoing war against him — almost always fought against his surrogates — that occupies Eragon and Saphira. If the focus had stayed there, Paolini could have finished his tale already. Instead, he throws in a daunting variety of players, races and locales. Nasuada, leader of the Varden, struggles to hold together her multiracial/multi-species army of rebels by any means necessary, including an alliance with her age-old enemies, the Urgals. Roran, reunited with Katrina, tries to earn his stripes among the Varden through battle. Murtagh, Eragon's half brother, and his dragon, Thorn, have become enslaved agents of Galbatorix and grow stronger — and more conflicted — by the day. The dwarf, Orik, navigates the contentious world of his people's politics as he seeks the throne. Queen Islanzadi leads her elves to war for the first time in a hundred years. The elf Oromis and his ancient dragon, Glaedr, decide it is time to emerge from hiding. You can't say that Paolini doesn't put a lot on the table. Perhaps too much. Paolini may have streamlined his prose line by line and cut the Elvish poetry out, but this is by no means a sleek story, dragging as it does for long sections in the middle. And yet in some of the quiet moments on the sidelines, Paolini demonstrates his growing maturity. For example, after listening to the elf princess Arya describe her lover's death, "Eragon placed his right hand over her left. ... Arya permitted the contact between them to endure for almost a minute. ... Then, with a slight lift of her arm, Arya let him know the moment had passed, and without complaint he withdrew his hand." That's much more understated than similar exchanges in earlier books. For young readers hungry for the action, though, this may be nothing short of boring. Fortunately, toward the end, Paolini reconnects with the core elements that animate Eragon's tale: mystery and danger. Just what is the Eldunari, the source of Galbatorix's immense power? Can Eragon's familial heritage get any more convoluted? Will Eragon ever get a new sword to replace Zar'roc? What will the Siege of Feinster look like: the underground Battle of Farthen Dur from "Eragon" or the smoke-choked Battle of Burning Plains from "Eldest"? Will any of the major characters die? If these questions don't get your blood pumping ... well, this may not be the series for you. And what about Paolini's thefts from the fantasy masters? He actually handles them admirably well in this third book. He claims squatter's rights to grumpy dwarves and aloof elves and orphaned farm boys who will be kings. Perhaps the passing years have made Paolini feel complete ownership of these characters, just as the passing pages slowly dull a reader's skepticism. But newer characters such as the horribly prophetic Elva and the flirtatious dwarf woman Iorunn are very much his own creations. Older characters Nasuada of the Varden and even Saphira herself develop inner lives that add depth. As an adult, I read "Brisingr" with a mixture of admiration for Paolini's accomplishments and an awareness of the book's flaws, which prevented me from being fully won over. But that's hardly a slight. Had I read this novel when I was 13, it would have kept me up straight through the night. For that matter, I might have even stolen a few bits from it for D&D. And that's a compliment.

It was 37 years ago today that the Federal government mandated one of the most ignored regulations in U.S. history — the 55 mile-per-hour speed limit.
The purpose of the so-called "double nickel," we were told, was to save gasoline. The country was in the midst of the "energy crisis" and forcing drivers to slow down would save millions of gallons of gasoline… or so we were promised.
Disobedience to the new rule was almost universal. For many drivers, it became a contest to see how much over the speed limit they could go before law enforcement officials would stop them for speeding. In the wide-open spaces of the West, that number approached three figures.
This "temporary" regulation was finally revoked in 1996. In the 23 years it was the law, scofflaws paid many times more money in speeding tickets to various governments than the combined savings on gasoline.

When we first launched the Belair X 6-12, the Trailblazer Edition was amazingly popular and sold out fast. We heard how hungry you were for a new camera with similar design and, based on this, we worked hard to develop the Trailblazer, a brand new special edition Belair X 6-12 camera
We've developed a daring and pioneering new medium-format camera that will not only bring a new level of lens quality to Lomographers, but a whole host of exciting new developments that make the most of this truly amazing photography format.
It's no secret; at Lomography we love medium-format photography. For one thing, it was medium-format cameras that NASA's astronauts took with them as they first explored the frontiers of space. Well, now it's high time for us Lomographers to start exploring new frontiers too; we're ready to dive headfirst into the full possibilities of medium-format film and to let creativity soar amongst the stars.
Carrying on the tradition of its distant cousin, the LOMO LC-A+, the Belair X 6-12 Trailblazer boasts an automatic shutter system that makes shooting perfectly-exposed photos as easy as clicking the shutter – and all this on 120 film! The expansive 6x12 format allows you to capture a vast space that makes for jaw-dropping photos; whether landscape, portrait or anything else you feel like shooting. Wait there's more; the Belair X 6-12 can also shoot in both square 6x6 and regular 6x9 formats. So whatever shape you're in, the Belair X 6-12 is ready to match you!
Who says panoramic medium-format cameras have to be the size of a small car? We know Lomographers are always on the move; that's why the painstakingly developed and reliable fold-out bellows system allows the Belair X 6-12 to collapse to a convenient and portable size - meaning you can take the camera (and stunning medium-format photos) wherever you go.
Together with a team of experienced optics engineers, the Lomographic camera developers have refined both a 90mm lens and a 58mm wide-angle lens; each lens offers high quality photos while still being loaded with the Lomographic charm we all know and love. Oh, and this is just the start: the Belair X 6-12 features an exchangeable lens system for ultimate experimentation and flexibility – you can rest assured we're already working on new and exciting lenses!
Carrying on the tradition of its distant cousin, the LOMO LC-A+, the Belair X 6-12 camera boasts an electronic automatic shutter. This means that just like with the LOMO LC-A+, the correct film sensitivity needs to be set so that photos turn out neither dark, nor overexposed. Whilst the LOMO LC-A+ shutter closes only once there is enough light, the Belair X 6-12's auto-exposure range is EV4 – EV15 and this is calculated just before the shutter is released.
The minimum recommended conditions when shooting in dim light with the Belair X 6-12 are ISO/ASA dial set to 100 with 100 ISO film. If you're after brighter results in a dark setting, a high ISO film or switching to B (Bulb) Mode is recommended. B Mode will expose your shot for as long as you keep the shutter pressed.

"The most exciting non-digital camera released this year."
"The fold-out system means users can collapse the camera to a convenient and portable size when not shooting with it. The retro bellows will also ensure you always stand out from the DSLR-toting crowd."
"Just because a camera has bellows doesn't mean it's vintage. The new Lomography Belair X 6-12 has bellows as well. It's a portable medium-format camera that shoots auto-exposed photographs on 6×12 film — the world's first camera to do so."
"The total package of these features offered in a dashing, streamlined body is what makes this product especially enticing."
The Phoblographer
"We here at The Phoblographer love film photography and are very excited about this new medium format offering by Lomo. If you've ever shot medium format film, you will know that it has a totally different quality from 35mm film. If you never did, we urge you to try it out once."
"Those iconic camera folk at Lomography are at it again, this time delivering a camera that is capable of capturing photos in three different formats. […] As is the norm with Lomography cameras, the Belair X 6-12 uses film and is modestly built in terms of size, while the very design of the camera is sure to get admiring looks, even before you've shown off your prints."

|750 acres burned near Linville Gorge
|Written by Lauren Ohnesorge
|Monday, 30 April 2007 01:40
A wildfire near Linville Gorge continued to burn over the weekend. Sunday afternoon estimates showed over 750 burned acres.A firefighting team from Arizona was even called in to assume control over firefighting operations, but without rain, the fire threatens to spread even deeper into the gorge. The fire, which started Wednesday, has brought the help of over 200 firefighters and several fire engines, bulldozers, and a helicopter. Firefighters resorted to intentionally burning sections of Pisgah to control the main body of the fire. Large pockets of dead pines continue to contribute to the fire's spread. While preliminary speculation may point to a campfire, no cause has been officially determined, firefighters say. Hikers are urged to postpone trips into the Linville Gorge Wilderness until the fire is under control. Old N.C. 105 is closed from Wiseman's View to the bottom of the mountain. Anyone with information about the cause of the fire should contact the U.S. Forest Service office in Nebo at 828-652-2144.

C.J. Fair was an 11-year-old middle school student when fellow Baltimore native Carmelo Anthony led Syracuse to the 2003 national championship.
At that point, as a gangly 5-foot-8 teenager just honing his basketball skills, Fair dreamed of following in Anthony's footsteps. Little did he know that almost 10 years later, the now 6-foot-8 junior forward would be one of the major reasons the Orange have set its sights on a second national crown.
After a 23-point, 11 rebound performance in Wednesday's road win at Providence, his sixth double-double of the season, Fair has emerged as one of the Big East Conference's top players. He's averaging 13.3 points, 7.2 rebounds and nearly two steals a game while becoming the Orange's go-to guy in critical situations.
And over the last five games, Fair has been even better. He's scoring at a 17.2 points per game, grabbing 8.4 rebounds and is slowly becoming one of the dominant inside players in the conference.
"It's all about hard work and wanting to improve,'' said Fair, a preseason third-team All-Big East pick. "I knew I had to improve my shooting and my strength. I'm in the best shape of my life, and playing with a lot of confidence.''
Fair, who played three years of high school ball in Baltimore before transferring to Brewster (N.H.) Academy, wasn't one of those can't miss, McDonald's All-Americans that enter college with extraordinary credentials.
He was ranked 90th overall in the Class of 2010, and came to Syracuse without a lot of fanfare.
"We knew C.J. was a good player,'' said SU assistant Mike Hopkins, who recruited Fair. "But we also knew he had the potential to become a great player. And I think this year you're seeing what we saw.''
Fair played in all 32 games as a freshman, averaging a modest 6.4 points and 3.8 rebounds. He hit double figures nine times, scoring mainly close to the basket.
Last season, Fair started the last nine of 37 games, averaging 8.5 points and 5.4 rebounds as he became more consistent in his role. However, he tailed off at the end of the season, which didn't sit well with the modest, soft-spoken forward.
"I found myself getting pushed around by the more physical teams,'' said Fair, whose full name is C.J. Keith Fair. "I knew I had to get stronger and learn to use my body better. And that I had to increase my scoring range if I wanted to become a more complete player.''
He worked voraciously in the weight room in the off-season. Now a svelte 215 pounds, Fair's increased strength has already paid major dividends.
It's his shooting touch that has helped expand Fair's game this season. Now comfortable from 20 feet and in, he's become a consistent mid-range jump shooter, and has made 6-of-16 from 3-point range.
"C.J. worked really hard on his technique and release,'' Hopkins said. "To look at how he shot it the last two years and this season, it looks like a totally different player.''
Fair said, "It's just a matter of repetition and getting comfortable with my shot. My teammates are now looking for me, and I'd more prepared to shoot that last year.''
He scored a career-high 25 points in the loss to Temple on Dec. 22, a breakout game on the big stage at Madison Square Garden.
"That's the game where C.J. showed how good he can be,'' teammate Brandon Triche said. "Ever since then, he's been one of the best players in the country.''
Defensively, Fair has also progressed. He's now a consistent defender in the back of the SU 2-3 zone, and has 16 blocks.
"C.J. was prepared to step into a much bigger role this year,'' head coach Jim Boeheim said. "Sometimes when you ask a kid to do that, it takes him some time to get comfortable. But from day one he's been our best player.''
Fair has also had a positive effect on SU's other big men, notably sophomore Rakeem Christmas and freshman DaJuan Coleman. "Just watching him work in practice and how he carries himself in games, I've learned a lot,'' Christmas said. "C J. just makes things look so easy, but it comes from hard work and attention to detail.''
Syracuse sophomore Michael Carter-Williams is one of the 20 finalists for the 2013 Bob Cousy Collegiate Point Guard of the Year Award.
Carter-Williams leads all Division I players in assist average (9.6). He's also averaging 12.0 points and 3.2 steals per game.
The current listing will be narrowed down to 10 players in early February and then down five players by early March. The winner will be presented on championship Monday in Atlanta as part of NCAA Final Four weekend.
In the latest polls, Notre Dame is ranked just 17th despite the Irish's best start in 13 years under head coach Mike Brey.
With a veteran cast that plays exceptionally well together, could be the Notre Dame team that finally breaks through and wins its first Big East Conference championship and makes a deep run in the NCAA Tournament?
Many of the current Big East coaches think so. "I just love the way they play together, share the ball and work as a team,'' Louisville coach Rick Pitino said.
The Irish (14-1 overall, 2-0 Big East) are on a 12-game winning streak.
The Irish were picked third behind Louisville and Syracuse in the coaches' preseason poll. Boeheim said he thinks they are the league's most complete team.
"They've got great guards, a great big man, they play tough defense and they are so unselfish,'' he said. "That's the ingredients for a really good team.''
Notre Dame returned all five starters, including a dynamic guard duo of Eric Atkins and Jerian Grant (brother of SU freshman Jerami Grant), and center Jack Cooley, last year's Most Improved Player.
This year's team is built on offensive efficiency. The Irish rank fourth nationally in field goal percentage, 12th in 3-point accuracy, first in assists and second in assist-to-turnover ratio. Paired with strong defense and rebounding, both ranked in the top 20, and Notre Dame has a strong formula for winning games.

Rare albino crab caught off Oregon Coast
CHARLESTON, Ore. - An albino crab caught off the Oregon Coast will remain on display at a restaurant for a couple weeks before being stuffed and put on display with a similar specimen caught a decade ago.
For now, the albino crab is in the live tank at Portside Restaurant.
The fishing vessel Keku Quinn made the discovery on Friday and called Portside head chef Alex Laygui to see if he wanted it.
He jumped at the chance to have another albino crab in his tank.
The last time Portside called dibs on an albino crab was in February 2002, nearly 10 years ago. The chance of catching one is about one in 150,000.
He noticed something different about it right off the bat.
"Albino crab is a lot stronger than the regular Dungeness crab," Laygui said.
