Minding Maslow & Other Lessons on Enlightened Management
In August, I had the pleasure of presenting with Chip Conley, founder of Joie de Vivre Hotels and author of Peak: How Great Companies Get their Mojo from Maslow. Chip's latest book, Emotional Equations, has been translated into 11 languages and dashed to the top of the New York Times best seller list this past year. So, what do Chip and...
When Thinking Transforms into Learning
Momentum in manufacturing happens if the marketing "stars" align and the bullwhip effect has been tamed. For those folks unfamiliar with bullwhipping, imagine the complexities of obtaining the raw materials for a jewelry manufacturing process, client backlogs from demand, wholesaler management and inventory distribution, and retail sales...
Selective Teaching: How Social Class May Influence What Children are Taught
In the U.S., our appreciation for a college education operates much like a simple casual loop reinforcing the belief that work toward a college education will eliminate barriers. In his 2004 book Limbo: Blue-Collar Roots, White-Collar Dreams, Alfred Lubrano notes the social pains of class mobility. You see, moving towards an educated "self...
Rethinking Family Relationships Within the Business Context
This week, I hosted a conference call with Saybrook professor Dennis Jaffe, which led me to rethink the most muddied and, perhaps, top-of–the-totem-pole thinking: family relationships within the business context. During my conversation with Dennis this week, I had an opportunity to visit his 2009 book on family stewardship, Stewardship in...
Re-Looping to Add Conversations?
Rare is the time to chat in our workday, don't you think? The other day I sat with Brian, my organization's director of educational services, and Kelly, our enrollment coordinator. We engaged in something unusual: a casual, unstructured conversation in the workplace. The topic was something particularly jazzy to those of you born to...
Momentum in manufacturing happens if the marketing "stars" align and the bullwhip effect has been tamed. If you work in supply chain management or recall your MBA days, maybe you remember the Near Beer study? Forio.com provides not only a wonderful explanation of the conundrum framed by the study but also offers a nice (but...
Begging to Belong?
Why do we all seem to be begging to belong today? Kids beg for iPhones. Connecting via text is still connecting. Just ask anyone. Striking a balance between being alone and being part of a group—a team, a club, or an organization—seems to be the seesaw of life. Rollo May once wrote, "Loneliness is such an omnipotent and painful...
Penske: Changing the System Dynamics of Auto Retailing
Roger Penske may have been the communitarian entrepreneur who spearheaded the transformation of Detroit for the last Super Bowl seen played on Michigan soil, but his real credit ought to be given to him for assisting a "shift" in the auto retailing world. You see, Penske has applied a systems lens to the interconnectivity of dealer...
Systems of Nothingness
January in New England makes it hard to visualize the muddy turf of a baseball field after a spring thaw. But, after speaking with a group of parents recently, spring training for children's baseball starts as early as December up here with batting practice and other weekly regiments. Teaching children the proper sporting techniques in the pre...
Incredibly Loud & Dangerously Unclose… to Being Human?
Just before New Year's Eve, I dashed to Maine to watch the private premier of the film Incredibly Loud and Dangerously Close. The film's scheduled for national release on January 20th, but I got my exclusive sneak peak courtesy of my friend, Alex Libby, who helped director, Stephen Daldry, do research for the film by speaking with...
The "New" Kind of School
I recently met Barbara Brueggemann and was overtaken with delight. Barbara is the Head of School at George Washington University's Online High School (or GWUOHS), an online, private high school that focuses on delivering an individualized college preparatory program for high school students. An educator with systems thinking strengths and...
The Red-Star Steward of Sustainability
Heineken just seemed to be a beer company to me; one with a ripened value due to years of good reputation. I had never thought about the company's ethics toward profitability or brand positioning until this week when I had dinner with Heineken USA's VP of Corporate Responsibility and Ethics during a business trip to Washington, D.C. During...

I just purchased an Ipod Itouch 16G 'open box' for what I thought was a great price after shopping around for a long time. It has arrived and is wonderful.

WEST PARIS, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - Fire investigators say the building is a total loss and those in town say they've lost a piece of history, too.
The Old Penley Mill was West Paris' biggest employer from 1923 until it closed down in 2002. Mill workers earned their pay making clothes pins.
Fire investigators say that the fire started in the middle of the building and was buffeted by old wood and dust in the building.
In the summer of 2012, a fireworks company moved in. They were in the process of remodeling the mill to expand it.
Sergeant Joel Davis with the State Fire Marshal's Office says that the building was in compliance with fire code regarding the distance to nearby structures and that helped save the flames from spreading to the storage building housing fireworks.
Investigators will try to determine what sparked the blaze starting Wednesday morning.

Rangers vs. Senators
Madison Square Garden, 7:00 p.m. Thursday
Rangers' record: 40-30-4
Senators' record: 27-37-9
The Rangers are finally clicking at home and just in the nick of time. Riding a season best five-game winning streak, the Rangers will face a familiar type of opponent tonight – a team with nothing to play for. The Ottawa Senators sit in last place, just below the Florida Panthers, who the Rangers defeated 1-0 on Tuesday night.
It was not an easy win and the Blueshirts shouldn't expect one against the Sens. They'll have to continue to muster up the same energy and determination they've displayed over their stretch of seven wins in their last ten games.
Henrik Lundqvist is nonchalantly easing his way into the Vezina discussion by leading the league in shutouts (10) and is in sixth place with 32 wins. (Three goaltenders ahead of him are tied for first place with 34 wins and two are tied for second with 33.) He's in top form and seems ultra focused despite having to carry the load down the home stretch.
While Lundqvist seems fit to make his 19th consecutive start, it wouldn't be a surprise if Coach John Tortorella opts to give Chad Johnson a go to give Lundqvist a breather.
The Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Callahan duo – as they've been all season – has been the sparkplug on offense and defense. They attack and battle until the puck ends up in the back of the net. A bloody cut to the nose didn't hold Callahan down who was key in the Rangers third period outburst against the Penguins on Sunday. He has seven goals and seven assists in his last eight games. Dubinsky has two goals and four assists to mark a four game point scoring streak.
If Marian Gaborik and Erik Christensen return again from their "slumber", expect an explosive performance by the Rangers' offense. Brian Boyle had some great opportunities on Tuesday and is also due for a goal.
Steve Eminger is logging some serious minutes with Dan Girardi and has held down the fort since Marc Staal sat out with an undisclosed injury.
The Senators blew a 2-0 lead against the playoff hungry Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday and lost 4-3. They've won six of their last ten games. Center Jason Spezza and defenseman Erik Karlsson lead the team with 44 points. Goaltender Craig Anderson (lower body injury) and forward Milan Michalek (broken foot) are expected to return to the Sens lineup tonight. Anderson is 6-4-1 with a 2.11 goals-against average since being traded to Senators in February.
If the Rangers stick to the "grind it out", workhorse, game plan they should leave New York with another a set of much needed points to secure a playoff berth.

- How to Read a Study Record
Patterns of illness among children in the United States and other industrially developed nations have changed substantially during the past 100 years. Before and during the first half of the previous century, infectious diseases were the primary threat to children s health. In contrast, the major illnesses and disorders that impair health, growth, and development today are chronic conditions stemming from the complex interaction of environmental exposures and inherent genetic factors. The Children s Health Act of 2000 directed the National Institute of Child Health and Development to conduct a national longitudinal study of environmental influences on children s health in the United States. The act specified that the study extend from the prenatal period to adulthood and investigate the short-term and long-term influences of physical, chemical, biological, and psychosocial environmental exposures on children s health and development, including behavioral, emotional, and educational outcomes in addition to physical health. The National Children s Study (NCS) is an observational longitudinal study that will enroll and follow a nationally representative sample of approximately 100,000 U.S.-born children from before birth through their 21st birthday. The study will screen all households within selected areas of 105 locations (primarily counties).
The major types of analysis of NCS data will include longitudinal exposure-outcome analysis, identification of causal pathways, analysis of neighborhood effects, evaluation of temporal effects within longitudinal data analysis of data from case-control data, and analysis of genomic data.
Women in their first trimester of pregnancy will be invited to participate in the pre-pregnancy portion of the NCS. Women who are not pregnant but have a high probability of becoming pregnant will be asked to participate in the early pregnancy portion of the NCS. All other eligible women will be asked if the study can contact them periodically to assess their pregnancy status. They also will be asked to contact the NCS should they become pregnant. Women identified as pregnant within 4 years after initial screening will be invited to enroll in the NCS.
The following information will be gathered:

|Official Title:
|Vanguard Phase of the National Children s Study
- Life course assessment of the interaction between environmental exposures and genetics on child health and development
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|February 2009
The National Children s Study (NCS) is a planned observational longitudinal Study that will enroll and follow a nationally representative sample of approximately 100,000 children born in the U.S to participating women from before birth through their 21st birthday. The goal of the NCS is to provide information that will ultimately lead to improvements in the health, development, and well-being of children. The primary aim of the NCS is to investigate the separate and combined effects of environmental exposures (chemical, biological, physical, and psychosocial) as well as gene-environment interactions on pregnancy outcomes, child health and development, and precursors of adult disease. In-person contacts with the NCS participants will include visits during pregnancy at the participant s home and in a clinical setting, collection of biologic samples and examination of the infant at birth, and periodic contacts with the family and child throughout infancy and childhood. Interim phone interviews between the in-person contacts also will occur. The NCS consists of the NCS Vanguard Study with any sub-studies and the NCS Main Study with any sub-studies. The Vanguard Study is the precursor to the Main Study.
The National Children s Study Vanguard Study is designed and implemented to determine the feasibility, acceptability and cost of the elements that will form the Main Study. The Vanguard Study is currently enrolling participants at seven Vanguard Centers and will have a planned duration of 21 years following completion of enrollment and will precede the Main Study on an ongoing basis to pilot all aspects of the Main Study. The specific objectives of the Vanguard Study are:
- Evaluation of recruitment, enrollment and retention strategies
- Evaluation of Study logistics and operations including sites and mechanisms of data acquisition, collection, transport and storage of environmental and biological samples and design and performance of information systems
- Evaluation of Study visit assessments for feasibility, reliability, reproducibility, cost, value, redundancy with other assessments, stability and acceptability
Study visit assessments are the tests, environmental sample collections, biospecimens, questionnaires and other forms of data acquisition that are scheduled at the study visits.
The evaluation of the Vanguard Study will be based on a series of targeted and specific statistical techniques and tests selected for each evaluation. There will not be a single hypothesis to test. Instead multiple performance measures will be used to inform the scope, design, visit structure and schedule, mechanisms and procedures and analysis plan for the Main Study.
|Genders Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
- Women aged 18-49 or pregnant residing in a selected NCS geographic segment at the time of enrollment
- Pregnancy women aged younger than 18, and residing in a selected NCS geographic segment at the time of enrollment, who are considered to be emancipated minors per the laws of their jurisdiction or minor pregnant women who obtain parental consent for participation
- Children born to enrolled women
- Biological fathers as identified by enrolled women
- Adult caregivers for enrolled children who have legal responsibility to authorize needed care for an enrolled child
- For potentially eligible women: Womens self-report of infertility
- Adults who are unable to understand what is involved in NCS participation and grant informed consent

Cat Variation
Welcome to my blog! I'm saying that to myself really because I haven't written a blog since 2007. Blogs kinda ARE 2007, but I don't give a poop! I'm writing one. They keep me writing and on my feet, son!
I just spent the last 3 months living with a cat. I mean, I was living with a roommate that HAD a cat. It wasn't the cat's place. That'd be weird. Him showing me around…
CAT (really nonchalant and fratty): Yeah, so this is the bathroom. It's standard. Shower, sink, covered in litter, you know how it goes. This is your room: 10 by 12. And this is the living room: A NEVER ENDING MAZE OF SCRATCHING POSTS.
I now understand cat ladies better. Since I work at night, I spent a lot of time alone at home with the cat and I realized that if you spend a lot of time alone with an animal, you WILL talk to that animal like it's another person. At first, it's a joke. You make eye contact and say, "what are YOU looking at Mr. Funnybottoms?!" And you catch yourself, "He can't speak English, or other languages." Then one day you're watching the news and it seems the cat is too. You say, "What do YOU think about the Public Option." The cat gives you a look that make you think you need to ask a follow up question.
That's when you find out the cat is on the opposite end of the political spectrum. He's REALLY conservative. So ya need to balance it out. You go to the pet store looking for another cat. One says, "I'm a liberal." So you take him home thinking you can get some other ideas on the floor. Turns out you misheard that cat, he's a libertarian. Not gonna work. So you go back to the store to get a left leaning centrist that'll hopefully bring some peace to this ragtag political process. Then you get another cat: he's a Whig. And another: he's a Torry. Next thing you know you are surround by cats. You are running Cat-gress. You're the speaker of the house of house-cats.
This is where you cease being able to communicate with people. You've spent all your time debating with cats, making plans for the future with cats, developing alternative energy sources with cats, getting and giving romantic advice to cats. Their world has been reversed. Have you ever seen the look in a cat ladies eyes when a human says something to them? Utter confusion. Know why? Cuz when a person talks to them, all they hear is a series of meows and hisses.

Commission delivers €100 Millions to tech startups and SMEs - puts money where mouth is Gepubliceerd op: 11/07/2013
I promised action at Le Web in Paris last December and now I am delivering. We need more innovation and a more digital economy in Europe and that starts with a better ecosystem for start-ups. We're putting our money where our mouth is
Around 1000 start-ups and other highly innovative companies will receive grants from a new €100m funding round from the European Commission's Future Internet Public-Private-Partnership to develop apps and other digital services, in areas such as transport, health, smart manufacturing, energy and media.
European Commission Vice President Neelie Kroes said: "I promised action at Le Web in Paris last December and now I am delivering. We need more innovation and a more digital economy in Europe and that starts with a better ecosystem for start-ups. We're putting our money where our mouth is."
This third stage of the partnership's funding aims to develop new Internet applications and services for a wide range of areas. Funding will be channelled through 20 consortia – teams from the internet ecosystem - which includes: accelerators, crowd-funding platforms, venture capitalists, co-working spaces, regional funding organisations, technology companies and SME associations, technology companies. The successful consortia will be selected according to how they plan to maximise the economic impact of their funding across the Internet eco-system.
The services and apps will be built around the technologies developed in Commission's Future Internet Public-Private Partnership (PPP) programme.
This funding announcement is the third & final call of the Future Internet PPP, a €500 million partnership launched in 2011 to help businesses and governments capitalise on the mobile Internet and data revolution and to spur innovation and jobs in Europe's digital industries (see IP/11/525).
The Future Internet PPP is working to make infrastructures and business processes smarter (i.e. more intelligent, more efficient, more sustainable) through tighter integration with Internet networking and computing capabilities. The PPP looks at different sectors such as transport, health, media, smart manufacturing and energy. It defines possible innovative business models for these sectors. It has developed unique European technologies and the building blocks for tools and services in areas such as cloud, smart cities, big data, and the internet of things. Five large scale trials started in 2013 to validate the technologies developed in real user settings. The sector-specific platforms developed by these trials will be made available to SMEs and web-entrepreneurs to develop services and applications.
This funding also forms part of the Commission's StartUp Europe plan for accelerating, connecting and celebrating European entrepreneurship ecosystems so that tech start-ups not only start in Europe, but stay in Europe. It consists of:
- Leaders Club (see IP/13/262) is an independent group of founders in the field of tech entrepreneurship who act as role models for European Web entrepreneurs.
- Awards & competitions. Europioneers: is an initiative to celebrate Europe's finest technology entrepreneurs by rewarding two tech entrepreneurs of the year (see IP/13/359). Tech All Stars: identifies Europe's best young startup and connects them to top EU funding sources, successful entrepreneurs and other influential individuals (see MEMO/13/557).
- Networking. EU Accelerators Network initiates and facilitates the creation of a European network of web business accelerators.
- Foster EU web talent Europe (through education, such as "Massive Online Open Courses"; supporting networks, programs and resources for bartering, acceleration and incubation, as well as mentoring).

From The Editor | July 27, 2010
Sneak Preview - RSPA Industry Leader Panel Discussion
By Jim Roddy, president
On Tuesday morning at RSPA's RetailNOW event, I'll be moderating the Industry Leader Panel Discussion featuring top executives from ScanSource, HP, Micros, BlueStar, IBM, NCR, and Ingram Micro. This event will bring together major players in our industry to share their perspectives and visions on the biggest issues facing the retail channel.
BSM Chief Editor Mike Monocello and I, with lots of guidance from RSPA members and Business Solutions subscribers, have assembled the questions for this highly anticipated two-hour event. Here's an exclusive sneak preview of some of the topics we'll discuss:
- Channel Sustainability: The value-add that dealers have traditionally offered is changing (e.g. PCI compliance, cloud computing). Where's this going? What's a dealer's business going to look like in five years?
- Retail Software: What's the future of providing software to the end user? How do vendors and distributors plan to address the SaaS model?
- Mobility: What's the future of mobile POS in retail, particularly the SMB retail space?
- Physical Security: How big an opportunity is adding video surveillance to your POS solution and to your linecard?
- Self-Service and Digital Signage: What's the future in retail for digital signage and self-service kiosks?
I'm most interested in what the panelists have to say in response to the channel sustainability questions. Some vendor and distributor executives I've talked with are deeply concerned that dealers who don't begin changing their business model now will be abandoned by much of their customer base in the next 5 years.
Their fear is most acute for family owned, second- or third-generation VARs — which comprise a big chunk of the RSPA membership. Not only are those dealers enduring typical reseller business pressures, but also changing their model could be an affront to their father and grandfather who built the model. That's a tough conversation to have at the next family gathering.
These family-owned businesses aren't automatically less resistant to adapting; they're just under extra pressure that other businesses don't have. I've worked for family owned businesses my entire life, and I can tell you from firsthand experience that the toughest mind to change is that of a successful business owner, especially the person who founded the business.

2011. Singapore. Eric Khoo. 94 min.
New York premiere
Monday, April 9, 2012, 4:00 p.m.
Theater 2 (The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 2), T2
2011. Singapore. Directed by Eric Khoo. With the voice of Yoshihiro Tatsumi. A Drifting Life, Tatsumi's epic graphic novel memoir, forms the foundation for Khoo's animated documentary. In postwar Japan in the late 1950s, Tatsumi brought innovation to Japanese comics through works of social commentary aimed at an adult audience. Khoo, known in his native Singapore for such live-action films as Be with Me (2005) and My Magic (2008), brings Tatsumi's art to life by juxtaposing Tatsumi's autobiography with his short stories that focus on the effects of World War II and urban alienation on the Japanese people. This first-ever film adaptation of Tatsumi's work adds depth and structure to his various narratives while remaining loyal to his vivid style. Print courtesy The Match Factory. In Japanese; English subtitles. 94 min.

Isabel Marant, the ultimate designer of understated Parisian chic, consistently creates the most desirable and wearable collections. Beloved by industry insiders and a coterie of loyal celebrity costumers alike, Marant is renowned for her sexy separates that mix and match to create a look that is studied yet casual, elegantly playful, and girly with an androgynous edge. For her S/S 09 show, she veered away from her Saint-Germain-des-Prés stomping ground and produced pieces that were country inspired-but think prairie, rather than Provence! Peppered with dashes of denim cut-offs, Marant's runway was also filled with quaintly quilted tunics, floral-print frocks, flashes of plaid, and spot-on slouchy suede boots wrapped with metallic chains. Of course, she also turned out her signature staples, like easy-to-wear lingerie-inspired little dresses, tomboyish outerwear, ruffled minis, and fitted henleys, too.
Needless to say, we are completely obsessed with her masterful medley (and the way in which her long-time stylist, French Vogue's impossibly influential Fashion Director, Emmanuelle Alt, put it all together). We're so taken, in fact, that we instantly set out to round up a well-edited selection of similar styles, as seen in today's Inspired By story, for your shopping pleasure. That's right, dear readers, we've done all of the heavy lifting for you! After all, the best part of the Marant aesthetic is to feel (and look) good without having to try too hard...
1. Topshop Embroidered Hem Linen Skirt ($70)
Marant is a master of the embroidered tunic, specifically those that come complete with ethnic detailing. This season she added blue and red stitched decorations onto the front of dresses and tanks, much like the trim on the bottom hem of this linen Topshop skirt.
2. Lancome Juicy Tubes Pure Lipgloss ($18) in Ginger Root
While her name is synonymous with the uniform of the ultra-chic French fashionable elite (and those who wish to emulate their élan), Marant's shows are also notable for their refreshing take on hair and makeup. While the models' tresses always have that perfectly sexy undone look, their maquillage tends to be very minimal and light. We love the dewy-skin, barely-there eyes, and easy lip tints, so accordingly, we found an equally natural beauty product: Lancome's new Juicy Tubes Pure. The paraban-free formula is derived from natural-origin oils and shea butter so it will help you get fresh results with organic ingredients!
3. Zara Miami Super Stone Wash 5 Pocket Jean Shorts ($40)
Rolled and cut-off denim shorts have experienced a renaissance of sorts, appearing on the hips of some of the most in-demand models and Hollywood stars. Of course, Marant's rendition elevates the white-trash-chic style to new heights by combing them with the rest of her rather sophisticated collection.
4. Lauren by Ralph Lauren Turquoise Chandelier Earrings ($48)
Marant is known for her minimal and discreet approach to clothing, though this season the jewelry really popped and made a semi-precious statement. The stacks of bracelets, oversized dangly earrings, and lapis lazuli adorned belts, though not flamboyant, were certainly eye-catching and complemented the ensembles perfectly! Our favorites were the beaded and tiered drop earrings; try these look-a-like chandelier earrings with tousled hair (parted down the middle) to nail the Marant look.
5. Forzieri Ghibli Crocodile Trimmed Cross Body Bag ($478)
With each season, we always marvel at Marant's ability to create exactly what we want and fill the voids in our wardrobes with her well-designed necessities. This season, she crafted the best broken-in and slouchy cross-body bags, so we were ecstatic to find an Inspired By style from Forzieri. It bears a striking resemblance to the IM satchel, without being quite so tough on the wallet!
6. Steve Madden Wrappp Black Suede Bootie ($160)
Marant's exquisite attention to detail means that even the footwear created for the runway is completely fantastic. This season, she offered up metallic-chain-wrapped black and taupe boots that were so yummy, they were practically sold out before they were produced! Marant's designer version were a bit slouchier than our selection, but we think these cropped open-toed booties from Steve Madden are better suited for the warmer weather and will look smart with short-hemmed summer staples!
7. Topshop Linen Blazer ($80)
While her outerwear is always outstanding, Marant outdid herself this season with oversized cobalt jackets that provide the perfect coverage-especially when thrown over a flouncy ruffled frock. Similarly, Topshop's take on this linen blazer is the ideal lightweight material for summer, and its loose shape will lend itself to layering when autumn rolls around.
8. Red Monkey Diamond Back Belt ($275)
To round out our spring Isabel essentials, we had to include this vibrant belt from Red Monkey. The turquoise leather and metallic designs are meant to mimic that of a diamondback rattlesnake; a very chic ode to "Home on the Range," n'est pas?
9. The Reformation Lace Top ($105, 323.203.1102)
Though Marant often offers gauzy eyelet dresses and tops, she also featured some beautiful lace pieces in her spring show. We fell particularly hard for a delicate, almost Victorian-style blouse, which Marant and Alt paired with a tiered floral mini. The look was very vintage feeling, so we had to include this lacey number from The Reformation (a boutique with locations in New York and Los Angeles, they rework antique garments). This chemise would look sweet over a little camisole for an al fresco cocktail party, or under a black blazer for a nighttime soiree. For two equally chic blouson options, try Mary Ping's Lace Tunic ($88) or Forever 21's Lace Lattice Top ($23).-Kate Mulling

|Canon Lenses
|Focal Length
Great images start with great lenses and, in many ways, an SLR is defined by the quality, breadth and scope of its associated system of lenses. For many, Canon EF Lenses alone are reason enough to choose the EOS System. A unique blend of the world's most advanced optical, micro-electronic and precision manufacturing technologies, EF Lenses are perfected in Canon's laboratories and proven in the field. Whatever you shoot, whatever your budget, there are Canon Lenses perfect for your needs.
Highly regarded among professional photographers, Canon L-series lenses are distinguished by a bold red ring around the outer barrel. What makes them truly distinctive, however, is their remarkable optical performance — the result of sophisticated Canon technologies, such as Ultra-low Dispersion (UD) glass, Fluorite and Aspherical elements, and Super Spectra Multi Coating. For more information on L-series lenses, click Learn More.
Designed for the Canon EOS 7D, 70D, 60D, and all EOS Rebel and EOS Digital Rebel models with APS-C sized sensors (with a 1.6x crop factor), Canon's EF-S Lenses take advantage of the sensor's smaller size to deliver optimized performance in compact, lightweight designs. The EF-S 1785mm f/45.6 IS USM is a perfect example of this technology. With a compact design, a 35mm equivalent range of 27136mm and Optical Image Stabilizer technology, it's a superlative walk-around lens...possibly the only lens you'll need to enjoy digital SLR photography.
|EF-S 1022mm f/3.54.5 USM
|EF-S 1585mm f/3.55.6 IS USM
|EF-S 1755mm f/2.8 IS USM
|EF-S 1785mm f/45.6 IS USM
|EF-S 1855mm f/3.55.6 IS STM
|EF-S 1855mm f/3.55.6 IS II
|EF-S 18135mm f/3.55.6 IS STM

Macro Lenses Canon's lens lineup has a number of options for true close-up and macro photography. With six macro lenses for precision, and three screw-on close-up lenses for convenience, in addition to the Life-Size Converter EF and two Extension Tubes, Canon's macro lenses and close-up accessories can uncover detail that is impossible for the unaided human eye to detect.
|EF 50mm f/2.5 Compact Macro
|EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM
|MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Photo
|EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM
|EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro USM
|EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM
|Life Size Converter EF
A life-size macro lens that is, a 1x magnification records an image on film at its actual size. For example, if it has a diameter of 1 in., it will occupy 1 in. of your actual slide or negative. With a digital SLR, at 1.0x magnification, the image projected onto your camera's sensor will likewise be the same size at the sensor plane as the actual subject itself. Other macro lenses have lower or higher magnifications. A lens with 0.5x magnification will produce an image on film that is half the size of the actual subject. Your 1 in. subject, then, would only occupy 0.5 in. on film.
In the other direction, a 5x magnification lens will convert the 1-in. subject to a 5-in. diameter image. Since the entire image won't fit in the frame of your film, you will have an enlarged image of a detail of the subject.
Tilt-Shift Lenses — TS-E Lenses are capable of tilt and shift movements, which bring many of the advantages of technical view cameras to the EOS System. Tilt movements alter the angle of the plane of focus between the lens and film plane, making broad depth-of-field possible even at larger apertures; shift movements slide the lens's optical axis along the film/sensor plane, enabling photographers to correct or alter perspective at almost any angle.
|TS-E 17mm f/4L
|TS-E 24mm f/3.5L II
|TS-E 45mm f/2.8
|TS-E 90mm f/2.8
Tilt Movements alter the angle of the plane of focus between the lens and focal plane, and Shift Movements move the lens' optical axis in parallel.
Tilt Movements — Using a normal lens, shallow or deep focus is controlled by the size of the aperture used to adjust depth-of-field. Canon TS-E Lenses can achieve this by the tilting of the lens barrel in relationship to the focal and subject planes. This allows for extremely deep focus even at wide open apertures, and shallow focus at smaller apertures.
Fisheye and Fisheye Zoom Lenses — Perfect for super wide-angle and special effect photography, the Canon EF 815mm f/4L Fisheye USM is the world's first fisheye zoom lens that delivers circular images with a 180° angle of view on full frame DSLR cameras, and zooms to a 180° diagonal angle of view on APS-C SLR cameras like the EOS 7D.
|EF 815mm f/4L Fisheye USM
Softfocus — The EF 135mm f/2.8 with Softfocus lens gives you the choice of razor-sharp images, or two degrees of soft focus with the twist of a ring. The Softfocus effect delivers a natural, beautiful softening effect that envelops the subject in a soft light, throughout the whole image. It smoothes skin tone in portrait photography, and softens landscape and flowers to make dreamy images. Even for Softfocus shots, focusing with AF is quick and accurate.
|EF 135mm f/2.8 w/ Softfocus
In the 35mm format, a focal length of 50mm is closest to what the eye sees. This focal length is used as a reference point for lens categories. For example, lenses with a shorter focal length are called wide-angle lenses, while those with a longer focal length are called telephoto lenses. Single focal length lenses have only one focal length, while zoom lenses have a range of focal lengths.
Angle of View indicates how much coverage of a scene you can see through the lens. Telephoto lenses have a narrower angle of view than wide-angle lenses.

Have you heard of DealDash.com? If you are into penny auction then in all probability you know of this site. This is very famous and popular site for penny auctions. A good number of people across the country use this site in order to win amazing deals. The site has a wide database of users many of which have extensive experience of penny auctions. Penny auctions work on the premise that a great, irresistible deal is posted by the site owners. The auction for winning this deal now starts. Now the bidders enter into a bidding war wherein they place bids looking to outbid the others. Each time a person wishes to place a bid he pays a small amount to the tune of 50 cents or so. As against the normal auctions, here the price of the deal remains fixed but the bidders bid against each other trying to be the last bidder. This continues until the time runs out. The one who bid last before the deadline for an auction was reached wins the deal and can then make the full payment for the deal item. The loser ends up losing all the money he used for placing the bids. You can read full article here for more details.
The penny auction is a great place to win dirt cheap merchandise but it is also be a place where several people looking for great bargains end up losing lots of money. When the money is lost they try to win the next auction and then the next in the hopes of recovering their losses. However, the sad part is that only the most experienced users are ones who can win at this game of odds. So it makes sense for the average user to check out the site thoroughly and to have a reality check as to whether they can afford to lose any money and if they'd be any good at this game.

Can't Even Win at Losing
Brian Bassett , TheJetsBlog.com
That play was a perfect encapsulation of the career of Mark Sanchez and I'll explain why, but first check the this introduction to an article in the Star-Ledger about the play in question.
Brandon Moore didn't understand the particular fascination with this one turnover when the Jets committed five on the night.
Seriously? Maybe it was just because he had his back to the play, but how can he not get the fascination over the play?
Down two scores quickly due to some unfortunate circumstances and with the game now on the line, the Jets needed to score on that drive – and hopefully score a touchdown. The question was "how does this offense respond?" Will they abandon the run with plenty of time remaining in the game, or keep their grinding mentality going and maybe put together a plodding drive to get them back in the game.
Of course we didn't even have time to answer that question.
Because according to Mark Sanchez he was wrong about the play he had just called. Here's Sanchez's postgame remarks.
I was thinking a different play in my head, (so it was) just a mental error there. So as soon as I realized there was nobody to hand it to I started to run toward the line and tried to cover it up and just get down, and I slid right into Brandon Moore. That was kind of an unfortunate deal there. I'm not a big believer in luck, but that was pretty unlucky. It was really too bad.
I didn't see any quotes from Hilliard or what his read on the play was, so we'll take Sanchez at his word on this one for now. Of course, even if it was Hilliard's fault …
Here's the real point and the real reason for the fascination on the play, Brandon … again Sanchez's own words.
[It was unlucky] just sliding right into [Moore]. I was just trying to get down, the play was over, just say uncle and do the right thing. And go back, second-and-ten, and fight another down and then the thing came out, so you just have to take care of the ball.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
Half time. Fifth slalom of the season, fifth victory, five more to go to achieve a perfect season – Atomic's exceptional athlete Marlies Schild crownded herself to queen Marlies IV. on the Sljeme in Zagreb. Marlies Schild won the ladies' race with most prize money in the world cup (42,000 Euros for the victory) for the forth time. Atomic team colleague Michaela Kirchgasser finished on 3rd place – this was her first world cup podium in slalom.
1.40 seconds ahead of 2nd place, best time in both runs, afterwards kisses for the cameras and the traditional coronet for the Snow Queen of Zagreb. Pressure is a foreign word for Marlies Schild, she races to the books of records as if she were on rails. When it comes to victories in a single discipline, only legends Vreni Schneider (34 slalom victories), Alberto Tomba (35 slalom victories) – he was in Zagreb and paid his respects to the snow queen –, ATOMIC All Star Annemarie Moser-Pröll (36 downhill victories) and Ingemar Stenmark (46 giant slalom victories) rank ahead of Marlies Schild. What had Marlies Schild to say about her 32nd slalom victory (34th World Cup victory)? "It is great to be ahead, it does not matter how much. My series quickens me, it makes me even more confident, I enjoy every single moment." PRAISE FOR ATOMIC SKI-TECH WOLFGANG MOSER ATOMIC athlete Michaela Kirchgasser enjoyed the moment on the podium when the anthem was played. After all she was able to race two equally good runs, and this was rewarded with her first podium place in slalom in the World Cup! "I found a good line, I skied well. Thanks to my ski-tech Wolfi Moser. He always prepares my skis so perfectly well. Together we found a setup that works well for me and I'm able make it to the finish proving my skills. I still have to get rid of some mistakes and I'll be able to be on top of the podium."

FREEPORT, Maine (NEWS CENTER) - The day after handily winning a seat in the U.S. Senate, Angus King vowed to fight across the aisle to move the country forward.
King's victory was declared almost immediately after polls closed Tuesday night. Analysts felt confident with the projection based on exit polling data from across the state.
As the numbers finally came in, it was clear that King won in a landslide. In a six candidate race, King took 53% of the vote. His closest competitor, Republican Charlie Summers, earned 31% and Democratic candidate Cynthia Dill won 13%.
In what turned into an early acceptance speech, King addressed his supporters Tuesday night. He cited the massive spending effort for anti-King ads by Karl Rove's SuperPAC "American Crossroads" as a key to his victory.
King also said that, despite all the work he's done to promote tourism in Maine, he hopes Rove never visits.
In his address at the Hilton Garden Inn in Freeport on Tuesday, King said his mandate is clear: to break partisan gridlock in the capital.
He says he's in a unique position as an Independent to work with both parties and referenced a course he teaches on leadership as tools he'll be able to use in Washington.
King says that he's already spoken with outgoing Senator Olympia Snowe, who blamed the gridlock for her decision not to pursue another term. He says he's spoken with Senator Susan Collins, as well, and looks forward to working with her in Washington.
