Senior Bowl: With uncertainty at safety, Bills have watchful eyes [1:55 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'Duke Williams struggled mightily in Rex Ryan's scheme and will have to fight for a roster spot next season, while Jonathan Meeks provides the team some special teams value and serviceable depth, but isn't considered a viable option to start.'
Playing the Game [1:54 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'The Bills are in no position to feel pressure here. If Taylor wants to ride it out, fine. They'll have another 16 games to judge, another year in Greg Roman's system (who knows if he'd be around for a 3rd year), and a franchise tag to use at their discretion. The tag on a QB is approximately 19 million dollars for one season. Is that crazy for Taylor? Probably not. If you're going to ride it out, and he plays well enough, 19 isn't tough to justify. Sam Bradford is currently asking for 25 million per season.'
Tyrod Taylor: 'I want to be long-term guy' in Buffalo [1:53 AM]
NFL.com reports: '"Of course I want to be the long-term guy," Taylor told Around The NFL on Wednesday night at the Pro Bowl draft. "I love playing for the organization, I love playing for the coaches, I love being around the guys. Like I said, I want to be the long-term guy for them. Ultimately that's up to them. I know I'm under contract for another year, but right now I'm out here just taking it all in."'
Adding defensive playmakers a priority for Bills [1:52 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"This is why we're so excited, we could go at any position, and that opens the board for us and makes it a lot more exciting where we're not narrowing our focus," he said. "So this is going to be a really good offseason and I think we'll be up to the challenge to add some playmakers to this team."'
Ohio State's Miller could be versatile fit for Bills [1:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Can't you just see the multi-faceted, former Ohio State star lining up at his current position, wide receiver, as well as his former position, quarterback? Or in the backfield? Or in other packages that emerge from the creative mind of offensive coordinator Greg Roman?'
Baylor's mighty Oakman may intrigue Bills [1:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'And, heck yeah, Oakman would want to play for Rex Ryan.'
Tyrod Taylor, Eric Wood, Richie Incognito sticking together for Pro Bowl [1:57 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The league held its fantasy-style draft Wednesday – broadcasting the event on ESPN2 (of course) – and Buffalo Bills teammates Richie Incognito, Eric Wood and Tyrod Taylor were all drafted to the team led by NFL Hall of Famer Jerry Rice.'
Bills' QB draft talk could be part of their posturing with Taylor [1:56 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Taylor, who has one year left on his contract, is in the process of putting the finishing touch on a surprisingly strong first season as an NFL starter with his selection, as an alternate, to the Pro Bowl. He and his representation undoubtedly want the Bills to get off the fence and demonstrate that they do, in fact, believe the best quarterback they have had in a long time is their franchise QB.'
Glenn, Incognito may command top dollar from Bills [1:55 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Why? This is a perfect storm for the left tackle. He plays a premium position, he's still young at 26 years old, there isn't much else available at all in free agency and the transition from college to the pros for rookie tackles has been particularly brutal the last few years. Buffalo can either pay up long term or pay up short term with the franchise tag. That number is expected to be north of $10 million. Last season's projected tag for offensive linemen was $12.9 million.'
Bills leaving black media out in the cold [1:54 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Despite the number of African-American players on the Bills roster and football's popularity across demographic lines, Buffalo's black media outlets say they get virtually no advertising or promotional business from the team despite reaching out to the franchise.'
Bills' Kathryn Smith deserves the job—not the fuss [1:53 AM]
Sportsnet reports: 'So when Kathryn Smith is covered in a celebratory fashion and these powerful women remain in the shadows, what does it say about how we really feel about women working in sports? Does it mean we want to feel like we are evolved, as if it is a badge of honour? Do we want to be first to favourite a tweet and re-post on Facebook in order to wave the flag of women's rights as if to say, "Hey look at me, women's inclusion is part of my personal brand!" Does it mean we want to fight so hard against the uneducated Kevin Kileys of the world that we unintentionally advocate the opposite just to spite him? What does it say about what we expect women to accomplish?'
Website calculates Tyrod's current market value over $19 million per year [1:52 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'Spotrac has been fairly accurate on other extension-projections and value calculations. Before defensive tackle Marcell Dareus signed his new contract, it forecast the deal would be 6-years, $101.4 million, with an average annual value of $16.9 million. The actual numbers landed at 6-years, $96.5 million, with an average of just over $16 million.'
Bills hoping to sign Incognito 'for a couple more years' [1:51 AM]
WGR-AM reports: '"I know this much," the Bills GM said. "He played better than I remember him playing when I used to scout him years past. That's a testament to him, the work he put in, that year he was off, and buying in to just trying to be the best he can."'
Bills seeking developmental depth at QB [1:50 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'The only exception to that assessment in Mobile this week might be North Dakota State's Carson Wentz. Blessed with prototype size at 6-5 and 230 pounds, Wentz has all the physical tools and is forecast as a first-round pick. His task this week is to prove that he can hang with the power five conference talent at the FBS level after playing his entire college career in the FCS.'
Bills' Whaley asserting himself [1:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'And yet, there's a threat of honest urgency in his voice, too. Continuity has its limits – the Bills are not prepared to invest long term in quarterback Tyrod Taylor quite yet. As Taylor gears up for his first Pro Bowl appearance in Hawaii, Whaley is in Mobile after all. He's still searching for a franchise quarterback, still keeping all options open.'
Bills will be looking to gain an edge at draft [1:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"For us, it all just depends on how we see them, meaning how do they do what they do," Whaley said. "Some guys are going to be more 3-4 outside-linebacker pass-rushers and there are some guys that are going to be 4-3 defensive-end outside pass-rushers. And the best thing about Rex and his staff is they just say, 'Get us the best players and we'll make sure we can fit them in with what we do.''
Whaley gives good news on Aaron Williams: He'll be back [1:57 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The safety who suffered a scary neck injury last year against the New England Patriots in Week 2, returned at Tennessee and then was shelved for the season will be back, General Manager Doug Whaley said Tuesday. That's as great of a free agent-like signing the Bills will make all offseason.'
Richie Incognito's redemption, Braxton Miller's spin move, Wade Phillips' subtle jab [1:56 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'As for whether he's changed as a person, only he can truly ever say. But as teammate after teammate tweeted to him Monday about his Pro Bowl honor – and Incognito took the time to respond to each one – it pointed to a player who is respected in the Bills' locker room. Buffalo gave Incognito another chance, and he appears to be making the most of it.'
Wide right: 25 years later [1:55 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: '"I don't look back on those years and think, 'Oh, those are the four years we lost the Super Bowl,'" he said. "If you're a fan of a team, what do you want them to do? You want them to win. Think about those four years, we had an awful lot of excitement being fans of the Buffalo Bills. Sure, we lost four Super Bowls, but there wasn't any other team that was winning more than we were. Think about all those games we won."'
Smith's hiring finally gives NFL good female news [1:54 AM]
Fort Worth Star Telegram reports: 'You're either qualified for the job or you're not. Kathryn Smith, as Rex Ryan affirmed, is as qualified as Becky Hammon and Nancy Lieberman are for their NBA assistant coach jobs.'
Bills GM Doug Whaley says united Ryan brothers is 'a positive' [1:53 AM]
ESPN reports: '"I think it is going to allow me to be more involved in the team, even if just for supporting my coordinators and things, and I am going to be right there for them," he said. "Because this is my football team, that is how I am approaching it. It is not that I am just a defensive guy. No, this is my team. Offensive players, every offensive player, every special-team player, every offensive coach, every special-teams coach: This is it. This is all about who I am, I think this will help me to really tie in more to this football team, and that's because we got to be like this. And for us to be at our best, we got to be like this. And I think some of the moves that I made, I think will allow me to even bring them even closer."'
Bills' GM Whaley Updates Offseason at Senior Bowl [1:52 AM]
WGR-AM reports: '-Aaron Williams is "ready to go," and, if the team had made the playoffs, the safety could have participated. Williams suffered a neck injury early in the 2015 season. Whaley also said he expects defensive lineman Kyle Williams, who missed 10 games in 2015, back by training camp. He said there is no need to overhaul that side of the ball with several new starters. Wide receiver Percy Harvin's health is still unknown, but "I want him back," Whaley said.'
Senior Bowl: Bills staff gets look at deep DL group [1:51 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'Kyle Williams is going to be 33 years old and coming off a knee injury that ended his season. The Bills plan on bringing him back as of now, but with an $8 million salary cap hit, there's always the chance he isn't fully recovered and the team decides to move on.'
16 offensive tackles to know for Bills, Part 1 [1:50 AM]
WKBW-TV reports: 'One of two big-time tackle prospects out of the Big Ten, Taylor Decker certainly has all the prototypical features a team would want.'
In 2015 young leaders stepped forward [1:49 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"As far as the leadership thing, first year here, learning some of the guys, I was seeing how guys respond to different things," said Taylor. "Learning different people, but I think I've taken steps forward in that department."'
WR size not easy to find in this year's draft class [1:48 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: '"I think first of all you've got to look at the uncertainty that we have," said Whaley in a recent appearance on Bills flagship station WGR Sportsradio 550. "Robert Woods has had some medical issues and ended the season on I-R. Chris Hogan is going to be a restricted free agent. Percy Harvin has got an automatic opt out, a void in his contract. So just by sheer numbers it's a position we're going to have to entertain."'
Phillips and DeHaven make compelling Super Bowl storyline [1:59 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Bills fans can always count on something reminding them about a time in which the standards were considerably higher than what's accepted today. Phillips and DeHaven worked together when the Bills won their last playoff game, in 1999, and their dismissals signaled the start of a 16-year playoff drought.'
Taylor, Wood, Incognito added to Pro Bowl [1:58 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Buffalo's lone player to be originally selected to the game, running back LeSean McCoy, will not participate because of a knee injury suffered late in the 2015 season.'
Cordy Glenn, Richie Incognito rank among top 20 pending unrestricted free agents [1:57 AM]
Buffalo News reports: '"Incognito's off-field reputation preceded him heading into 2015, but he has always been one of the better guards in the league, and his signing always seemed a shrewd piece of business by Rex Ryan from an on-field perspective," PFF's David Aitken writes. "It would appear the year out of the league did him a world of good, as he never had a season as strong as 2015 with Buffalo. Baltimore's Marshal Yanda held the top spot in PFF's guard grades for the second straight year, but right behind him was Richie Incognito, buoyed by an excellent performance in the run game."'
What could have been with Cam Newton, Percy Harvin's possible return and Doug Marrone's mi [1:56 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'The Bills held the No. 3 pick in that year's draft – going 4-4 in the final eight games of the season after an 0-8 start. Denver held the No. 2 pick, and had both Luck and Newton been in the draft, would have had a big decision to make. The Broncos still had Tim Tebow, a former first-round draft pick, on their roster. At that point, he only had made three career starts. Would they have taken Luck or Newton and cut ties with Tebow without ever really giving him a chance to start? It became moot after Luck returned to school, but it's hard not to think about when Newton is playing the way he did Sunday.'

10. Failure to recognize that everything is interrelated.
It's almost a domino effect. Overestimating the ability to manage risk will be exacerbated by the failure to implement EHRs, which will limit the ability to develop and report performance measures. That could make it more difficult to balance the interests among hospitals and physicians, which could lead to a failure to engage patients and a difficulty in developing contractual relationships with cost-effective specialists. And so on and so on.
That could mean your ACO would fail to reduce preventable hospital readmissions, eliminate admissions for asthma and diabetes, reduce inappropriate emergency department use, or improve the overall patient experience of care. And that could mean no shared savings.
What needs to happen, says Shortell, is that potential ACOs need to develop a strategy to address these possible mistakes. The best way is to develop a system of rapid feedback so that performance can be corrected along the way well before mistakes begin to affect the entire organization.
The key he says is to keep moving forward. "This isn't an overnight process. We're probably 10 years away from seeing a marked difference in how healthcare is delivered. This is just the beginning."

Paladino's Apology Sticks in Rabbi Levin's Throat
New York gubernatorial hopeful Republican Carl. P.

Paladino's crime was apologizing for stating that children shouldn't be "brainwashed" into believing homosexuality was "valid."
"I was in the middle of eating a kosher pastrami sandwich," Rabbi Levin said. "While I was eating it, they come running and they say, 'Paladino became gay!' I said, 'What?' And then they showed me the statement. I almost choked on the kosher salami."

I'd offer some advanced critique, but i really can't find anything worth doing so.
awesome job! Talim is one of my fav characters to play!
I have no clue who Talim is but she looks great!
Looks great! I like the coloring.
Thanks! It took awhile and just noticed I never quite finished it before I scanned! 0.0 Whoops! her belt isn't finished but it must not be to obvious because no one has pointed it out. XD
nice, damn quick little thing, personaly i favor Ivy, her sword rocks... and i agree that Xerina or what ever is a cheap shot makeing skank! *twickes*
I like Ivy but I can't use her sword right. Out of the girls I use Taki and Seung Mina. I wish I could use Ivy 'cause her combos are great but I can't always control her sword.
i use taki quite a bti too, the way i use ivy is i keep her sword as a "whip" and just hit hard and fast, she has a long reach so i tend to try and keep the the other person back... all but when my bf plays link then he kicks my ass
Nice hair. Yeah, its a good pic overal, but that's what stood out.
Thanks, thats my favorite part too! I like the blue streaks, blue and black are my favorite colors so I left the blue bright rather than shade over it with the black.
It looks awesome. Personaly, I don't like Talim, but this picture is wonderful.
I don't either! lol I think shes kinnda annoying, but I'm good with her so I sometimes use her. I have to say I do like her better than that um... Xainua (or however you spell it) chick! Shes annoying! And she and Kilik aren't good for each other lol.
Kilik is hard, but I am ok with the dancy sword chick. >3 But I personaly use Raphael, I am magnificent with him. I think he's very handsome too. >3 But thats cause I'm a freak.
Very cool pose. I like the details and the colouring job. The outlines could be sharpened up a bit and a background never hurts, but it's still a damn nice drawing
Yay for Talim!

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Give it up for the Atlantic Sun.
Mercer capped a sensational week for the low-major conference, stunning No. 18 Southern California 96-81 Saturday and spoiling O.J. Mayo's college debut.
The Atlantic Sun's dream week began Thursday, when Gardner-Webb shook things up with a 16-point victory over Kentucky (No. 22 ESPN/USA Today, No. 20 AP) on the Wildcats' home court, then Belmont won at Cincinnati on Friday.
"The Kentucky result was on our mind," USC's Taj Gibson said. "We knew this was a dangerous team."
James Florence scored 30 points and the small-school Bears from Macon, Ga., shot nearly 60 percent from the floor in their season-opener.
"There's no way to describe it," Florence said.
Watch out Alabama, Harvard and Boston College. Mercer comes your way next.
"They'll come a lot harder at us," said Calvin Henry, who added 14 points.
Mayo, one of the nation's most prized recruits, led the Trojans with 32 points, but he couldn't help them overcome 19 turnovers and 18-of-32 free-throw shooting. His points were a school record by a
freshman in his debut.
"It was tough, but they did a great job," Mayo said. "We need to come out and respect our opponent and play hard. We came out nonchalantly."
Mercer had the Trojans in trouble early. The Bears shot 59 percent in the first half, when they led by 21 points.
The Bears had five players in double figures, 12 steals, shot 81 percent from the line and outscored USC 14-6 on fast-breaks. Florence's points were the most by an opponent in the 2-year-old
Galen Center.
"Coach told us, 'Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard,'" Henry said.
"That was our quote of the week," Mercer coach Mark Slonaker said.
Mayo worked a lot harder in the second half, and it still wasn't enough against a more experienced team.
The Trojans opened with a 22-8 run, including 10 by Mayo, who had fans on their feet with a breakaway one-handed layin.
"We felt like they were going to go to him early," Slonaker said. "We kept telling the guys, 'Weather the storm and keep attacking.' You know SC was going to make a run, but we held them off. That shows maturity."
He whipped a behind-the-head pass to Gibson, who missed on the drive, but Gibson dunked on USC's next possession to get them to 55-52.
Gibson finished with 13 points and 14 rebounds. Angelo Johnson had 17 points for the Trojans, who won a school-record 25 games and reached the final 16 of last season's NCAA Tournament.
"We got tired and couldn't sustain any effort for any long period of time," coach Tim Floyd said. "The 47 points we gave up in both halves was very discouraging. That is somewhat reflecting of what we have been experiencing in practice. We are a team of two juniors and three sophomores who played a year ago. Our freshmen are not ready yet."
Mercer answered USC's run with six straight points and soon restored its lead to double digits on a 3-pointer by Brian Mills.
Mayo came up with three 3-pointers in the final three minutes, but the game was already out of reach.
"As good as described," Henry said about Mayo. "They ran every play and screen for him. He made us work for it."
USC fell to 0-3 in season openers under Floyd. They lost the two previous years in overtime to Cal State Northridge and South Carolina.
"Tim is going to get this team going," Slonaker said. "It's just early."
The Trojans won't play their lone exhibition game until Dec. 8, so they jumped into the regular season without playing anybody but each other in practice.
It showed. USC shot 29 percent in the first half and missed a slew of open shots. Mayo committed four of his team's nine turnovers in the half.
"We missed a lot of easy shots and a ton of free throws," he said. "It hurts us. We got to learn from this and get better."
Mayo wore No. 32 in tribute to his favorite childhood player Magic Johnson; it's also the number O.J. Simpson wore as a Heisman Trophy-winning running back for the Trojans.
In a look reminiscent of Kobe Bryant, another of his favorites, Mayo wore black sleeves on both arms and both legs.
Hearing his name announced for the first time as a college player "was a lot of fun. I wish we would've won," Mayo said.
USC played without guard Daniel Hackett, who has a broken jaw but will return to practice on Monday, and freshman Mamadou Diarra, who had hernia surgery.

A question for all the activists railing against the NHS bill: why didn't you protest when Labour pursued the exact same policies?
There is one very mysterious thing about all the respectable fury over the Government's NHS bill – the question of why commentators and activists didn't get similarly irate when the New Labour government did almost the exact same thing to the NHS more than 10 years ago. Reading the handwringing commentary about the evil Andrew Lansley and his dissection (geddit?) of our beloved NHS, you could be forgiven for thinking he had singlehandedly turned this state institution into a more free-market thing. Not so. That was first done to the NHS by the Tory government of the early 1990s, and it was further pursued by New Labour in the late 1990s and 2000s.
Indeed, there is little radical in Lansley's allegedly radical attack on the NHS. Consider the plans for GP-led clinical commissioning groups, one of the things that has most rattled NHS defenders because it raises the prospect of GPs having greater control over NHS budgets and effectively "buying" healthcare for their patients from hospitals and other institutions. One reporter describes this as the "new world of GP-led clinical commissioning groups". New world? Get a grip. The practice of GP fundholding was introduced by the Conservative government in 1990, as part of its introduction of internal market reforms to the NHS, and it was expanded by Labour in its 1997 White Paper The New NHS.
That White Paper claimed, falsely, that it was getting rid of such market-oriented things as GP fundholding. But in truth, as two social policy experts at the London School of Economics pointed out in December 1997, New Labour's introduction of "primary care groups" of GPs to commission healthcare for local populations represented "the ultimate extension of fundholding" and showed that "the key elements of the internal market [introduced by the Tories] will be retained".
Labour's introduction of GP-led commissioning groups represented the realisation of a dream set out in a report published by the NHS Executive in 1994, tellingly titled Developing NHS Purchasing and GP Fundholding: Towards a Primary Care-led NHS. That report called for "decisions about purchasing and providing healthcare to be taken… by GPs". Labour's 1997 White Paper went even further in collapsing together medical and financial interests, boasting that it would "align clinical and financial responsibility, to give all the professionals who make prescribing and referring decisions the opportunity to make financial decisions". In short: GP-led clinical commissioning, the very thing that now has fans of the NHS tearing their hair out in horror.
The marketisation of the NHS was pursued vigorously by New Labour. Blair's government (backed by Brown, before all you Brownites start claiming "it wasn't us what did it!") followed the Tories of the Nineties in putting commercial principles centre stage in the NHS. As an editorial in the British Medical Journal put it in December 1997, the rhetoric of The New NHS was simply designed to "soften the harsher edges of the internal market" while at the same time "involving all General Practitioners in commissioning [and] purchasing". Sound familiar? Yes, that is what Lansley is now being crucified for doing.
New Labour also brought about what we might call the "supermarketisation" of the health service – the transformation of parts of the NHS into glorified consumer-driven outlets, like shops or cafes. The introduction of NHS Direct, the phoneline for hypochondriacs, and of walk-in centres, the NHS equivalent of a 24-hour shop for people who simply can't wait till the following day to find out why they have a runny nose, created something that hadn't existed in the NHS before: consumer demand, shopper-like requests for instant satisfaction. This, alongside GP commissioning and other market-stlye reforms, helped to erode the old familiar bonds between doctor and patient, between hospital and community, and instead made everything target-oriented and shallow.
That many of the reforms being introduced by Lansley and Co. were first brought about by Labour, with virtually not a peep of protest from commentators and radical activists, is more than a case of gobsmacking double standards. It implicitly calls into question the entire basis of the anger currently being directed at the NHS bill. What is it really all about? It is clearly not driven by a principled opposition to marketisation in the NHS, far less by a positive proposal for a new and better way to provide excellent healthcare to the populace, but rather by narrow politicking, by campaigners' teenage-like loathing of the Tories and their lovelorn disappointment with the Lib Dems. That's all very sad, I'm sure, but if you are currently shedding tears over the NHS bill but said diddlysquat about The New NHS in the 1990s and 2000s, then absolutely nothing you say can be taken seriously.

Another year brings another superzoom compact from Panasonic. The Lumix DMC-TZ60 (DMC-ZS40 in North America) was announced right at the beginning of 2014 at the CES trade show in Las Vegas, and this year the firm has pulled out all the stops, loading its flagship point-and-shooter with a 30x zoom, an electronic viewfinder, a programmable settings ring around the lens, a RAW mode, Wi-Fi, NFC, GPS and an 18-Megapixel CMOS sensor—all packed into a body that's decidedly higher-end than last year's TZ40. On paper, Panasonic's star compact looks to have all it takes to shine bright in this year's superzoom showdown, but how does that impressive-looking spec sheet hold up in practice? Time to take a closer look.
Heavily inspired by the TZ40 but also the LF1—the first genuinely pocket-sized compact to fit in an electronic viewfinder—the Lumix TZ60 strives to blend the best of both models into one sleek new superzoom compact. Like the TZ40, the TZ60 packs a monster zoom lens into a compact camera, but it ditches the previous model's 20x 24-480 mm f/3.3-6.4 lens for a new 30x 24-720 mm f/3.3-6.4 model specially developed for the occasion. The camera body has gained a little bulk along the way, but at 34.4 mm thick, it's still the slimmest 30x zoom on the market. Visually, the TZ60 is a pretty minimalist affair, set off with sharper, straighter and cleaner-looking lines than its predecessor. We think it looks sleeker and more stylish as a result. The TZ60 is a classy little compact that feels sturdy and well-made (we can no doubt thank the GX7 and GM1 to some extent for upping Panasonic's game). It has a matte black paint job that reduces the slightly plasticky feel some criticised in the TZ40. The TZ60 has also gained a small rubber grip strip on the front, which is nicely discreet and helps you keep hold of the camera.
From the LF1, the TZ60 inherits the EVF positioned in the top left-hand corner of the rear face. The screen is as mediocre as ever, as its a 202,000-dot LCD with a sequential display, so watch out for rainbow effects. Ultimately, while the EVF's presence may be symbolic for Panasonic's camera line, in practice, it may not prove all that useful. In fact, in strong sunlight, reflections inside the EVF get so strong that it becomes practically unusable. The fact that there's no eye sensor probably isn't such a big deal in the end, then. Some of you may have spotted a little dial on the viewfinder for dioptric correction. This has moved from the left of the LF1 EVF to the right of the EVF in the TZ60, which should help stop it being moved accidentally when pulling the camera out of a bag or pocket.
Another key feature to migrate from the LF1 to the TZ60 is the settings wheel around the lens. This scrolls smoothly with no notches and feels nice and fluid to turn. Depending what mode you're working in, this can be used to change shutter speed, aperture, to zoom from one focal length to another in fixed steps, or to zoom continuously. This new settings wheel goes hand in hand the the thumb wheel around the four-way arrows on the back of the camera, as both are totally customisable.
In terms of handling, we don't have many complaints about the TZ60. There's a large 3" screen with 920,000 pixels that has nice, wide viewing angles. The display is very sleekly integrated into the camera body, set flush up to the rear casing with no visible gaps or ridges. It's just a shame that there are no touchscreen controls. The TZ60 handles like a Lumix. In other words, it's easy to get the hang of everything. Plus points include the arrival of a RAW mode, a focus peaking function for help with manual focusing, a whole load of new creative modes and a GPS (with GLONASS compatibility). Wi-Fi is obviously onboard too for connecting the TZ60 to a smartphone or tablet via the Panasonic Image App for image transfer and remote control. This is still the most feature-rich and glitch-free app of its kind on the market right now. Considering that all of that lot fits right into your pocket, there's no doubt that the Lumix TZ60 is a comprehensive compact camera.
Given that Panasonic is already leading the way on responsiveness in pretty much every section of the market in which it has cameras, it'd be a bit unfair to criticise the TZ60 for not being any faster than the TZ40. It's all too easy to expect massive improvements year on year, but the TZ60's results need to be put into context to be fully appreciated. The TZ60 takes as much time to deploy its 30x zoom lens as the TZ40 did to warm up its 20x zoom. That in itself is impressive enough, especially since the 30x Sony HX50 takes a second longer to get its 24-720 mm lens into position.
The TZ60 focuses and shoots almost instantly. Taking photos is a clean, hassle-free experience that's as good for Panasonic's ego as it is for users. Photo-to-photo turnaround has got about 25% quicker for 2014 and the 2 fps burst mode holds up faultlessly for 30 shots, which is more than most of the point-and-shoot users the TZ60 is aimed at could ever hope to need. In RAW+JPG (because this year you get RAW too), the burst mode speeds up to 2.6 fps but gives up after three photos. It's therefore not ideal for use in all situations. If you suddenly find that your TZ60 is acting slower than usual, it's probably because you've switched to RAW mode—remember to bear that in mind.
So far so good for the TZ60 but, once again, it's on picture quality that this superzoom Lumix isn't likely to convince everyone. Generally, the TZ60 struggles to impress with results that are just a bit disappointing. In fact, you may struggle to get decent prints any bigger than 8" x 12" (20 x 30 cm) in size. And even then, not every snap will be up to prints that big. Panasonic's compacts have a track record for applying some pretty brutal smoothing—that's something we already saw with last year's TZ40 and its 18-Megagpixel CMOS sensor—and the TZ60 takes things to a new level.
Between the sensor and the new 24-720 mm f/3.3-6.4 lens, it's hard to tell which is the most disappointing, as they seem determined to work together hand in hand to spoil the party. The zoom lens fails to keeps image quality consistent over the frame, at all aperture settings and focal lengths, from wide-angle to telephoto. So while the middle of the frame looks fine—or at least acceptable—the edges soon deteriorate into a sea of blur, mixing up detail in a big soupy mess of pixels, especially right up in the corners of the image. Chromatic aberration is highly visible too, with magenta fringes spoiling many a photo (see the ISO test results above, for example).
The sensor, on the other hand, seems to struggle with its 18 Megapixels. While the pixel-count hasn't been upped since the TZ40, it's increasingly obvious that on a sensor this small (1/2.3"), the crazy pixel density of 63.25 Mpx/cm2 is just way too ambitious. It causes more problems that it solves. What's more, with photosites just 1.25 micron wide, the sensor is very prone to diffraction, which merely serves to accentuate the intrinsic defects of the lens. To try and get around that, Panasonic has opted for some pretty heavy smoothing, which further wipes out any remaining traces of detail present in the shots. Any potential benefit from the high pixel-count is therefore totally lost here. Maybe dropping back to 14 Megapixels wouldn't be such a bad idea for next year's model.
That said, don't let the two photos above alarm you too much. The defects that we've just outlined are only visible when looking at shots from the TZ60 on a computer screen and by zooming in 100% on the image. These effects are considerably less noticeable when viewing back photos on a UHD TV or monitor (... hmmm, maybe not) or when you limit print-outs to no more than 8" x 12" (20 x 30 cm). Plus, if you mainly take photos to upload onto social networking sites, then quality will be just fine. But still ... it's a bit of a shame to be saying that about a supposedly star superzoom.
Seeing as the TZ60 isn't a camcorder or a pro-level video shooter, we can't really bemoan its lack of advanced video settings. Otherwise, everything else is pretty good here, with Full HD modes available in 50i, 50p, 25i and 25p, with or without GPS tagging. Stereo sound is good quality. The image is slightly desaturated and shimmers (due to the sensor) but the zoom lens works perfectly quietly while you're filming. Plus, the continuous autofocus is perfectly smooth and the five-axis stabilisation is a nice extra. The TZ60 even has a focus peaking function for help with manual focusing when shooting movies, and that's something many a high-end camera could seriously benefit from. All that's really missing is a touchscreen for a quick and easy way to select focus areas, and a separate video mode rather than just a basic video function.

Glibc 2.10 Brings Numerous Enhancements
Developer Ulrich Drepper has provided a preview of the upcoming version 2.10 of the free GNU C library glibc.
Red Hat developer Ulrich Drepper wanted to offer more information about the new glibc functionality than would normally be found in the release notes, so he did so on his website. He is a member of the so-called "Austin" working group, part of the Open Group that is developing open standards for the UNIX platform.
Drepper reported that work on the 2008 revision of the Portable Operating System Interface (POSIX) is now finished and was largely integrated into glibc 2.10. New is compliance with C++, with the result that "some incorrect C++ programs, which worked before, will now fail to compile." He went further into detail about DNS NSS improvements and promised faster response times, suggesting that since Network Security Services is already certified, to use it in implementing crypt(3) in libcrypt. Drepper: "Combine this with the new password hashing I've developed almost two years ago and we have now fully certified password handling."
The Fedora developer wasn't too happy with printf hooks: "Certain special interest groups subverted the standardization process (again) and pressed through changes." The next glibc version, therefore, won't include printf support, although his website has some helpful workarounds. New glibc functionality also includes improvements to malloc scalability and the new malloc-info function to export via XML.
The current glibc 2.9 version is available on the GNU project page, with the 2.10 version soon to follow.

49:0785(72)AR - - AFGE, Local 3937 and HHS, SSA, Region X, Auburn Teleservice Center, Auburn, WA - - 1994 FLRAdec AR - - v49 p785
[ v49 p785 ]
The decision of the Authority follows:
49 FLRA No. 72
April 15, 1994
Before Chairman McKee and Members Talkin and Armendariz.
I. Statement of the Case
This matter is before the Authority on exceptions to an award of Arbitrator Gary L. Axon filed by the Union under section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and part 2425 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations. The Agency filed an opposition to the Union's exceptions.
The Arbitrator denied a grievance that involved the stipulated issue of whether the grievants were required by the Agency to adhere to standards of dress or a dress code in violation of the National Agreement. The Union argues that the Arbitrator should have found that the Agency violated the Statute, that the Arbitrator misapplied the law, and that the award fails to draw its essence from the Agreement. We conclude that the Union's exceptions provide no basis for finding the award deficient. Accordingly, we will deny the exceptions.
II. Background and Arbitrator's Award
The Auburn Teleservice Center (ATSC) provides information to callers regarding social security benefits. The ATSC is not open to the public, although visitors are permitted to observe its operations. Employees are allowed to wear casual clothing consisting of jeans, T-shirts, warm-up suits, and similar attire.
On one occasion in 1991, and on four occasions in 1992, a total of five employees wore shorts to work. The Agency counseled the employees that shorts were not acceptable attire and sent four of the employees home to change their clothes, allowing them paid leave to do so. All of the employees filed individual grievances claiming that they had not been treated fairly and equitably under the parties' collective bargaining agreement and that they had been disciplined without just cause. In this connection, the employees alleged that there was no dress code at the ATSC. The Agency denied the five grievances, which were consolidated for hearing before the Arbitrator.
The parties stipulated the following issue for arbitration:
Were the grievants required by management to adhere to standards of dress or a dress code in violation of the National Agreement?
If so, what shall the remedy be?
Award at 2.
The Arbitrator initially addressed the issue of whether the Agency's conduct in counseling the grievants and sending them home to change their clothes constituted discipline. The Arbitrator determined that the Agency's actions did not constitute discipline, based on: (1) his interpretation of the parties' agreement; (2) the fact that the grievants had not suffered a loss of pay or benefits when they were sent home to change; (3) the Agency's assertion that no discipline was intended; and (4) the absence of any claim of discipline during the pre-arbitration steps of the negotiated grievance procedure.
The Arbitrator then addressed eight arguments advanced by the Union. First, the Union argued that the Agency's dress policy was a bargainable matter and that the Agency's unilateral implementation of a dress standard was an unfair labor practice. The Arbitrator determined that the Union's claim was raised in the wrong forum. He stated that his obligation was to interpret and apply the parties' national agreement in the context of applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and that it is the Authority's role to resolve unfair labor practice allegations. Noting the absence of evidence that the Union had raised the unfair labor practice issue with the Authority, which had then "deferred the matter to arbitration[,]" the Arbitrator declined to decide whether the Agency committed an unfair labor practice by failing to bargain over the dress standard. Award at 31.
Second, the Arbitrator addressed and rejected the Union's assertion that the Agency "bargained away" a national dress standard when it negotiated the parties' 1980 agreement. Id. at 32. The Arbitrator found that the current national agreement and its predecessors are silent on the subject of a dress policy.
Third, the Arbitrator rejected the Union's contention that there were no Agency dress standards that constituted past practices. Additionally, the Arbitrator found no evidence that there was a practice at the ATSC that allowed employees to wear shorts while on duty.
Fourth, the Arbitrator found unsupported the Union's claim that the Agency's Guide on Employee Conduct (Guide), which contains a dress standard, is not an enforceable regulation. According to the Arbitrator, there is a presumption that Agency rules and regulations are properly adopted and it was incumbent on the Union to prove otherwise, which the Union failed to do.
Fifth, the Arbitrator found that the Agency had not illegally implemented changes in its dress policy. In reaching this result, the Arbitrator found that the dress policy contained in the Guide had not changed during the life of the parties' agreement and, further, that there was no evidence that the Agency had varied from its policy of prohibiting employees from wearing shorts while on duty.
As to the Union's sixth argument, that the dress policy was not clearly communicated, the Arbitrator found that the grievants could not claim that they had no knowledge that shorts were unacceptable. However, the Arbitrator added that even if the grievants were unaware of the Agency's policy, the Agency cured any lack of communication when it counseled the grievants and sent them home to change their clothes.
Seventh, the Arbitrator addressed the Union's claim that in enforcing the ban on wearing shorts, the Agency had discriminated among employees on the basis of sex or age and was also "haphazard and lax" and, therefore, had not established just cause to support the grievants' discipline. Id. at 35. The Arbitrator concluded that the just cause provision of the parties' agreement did not apply because the grievants had not been disciplined. The Arbitrator also concluded that the charge of discrimination based on sex was "totally without merit[,]" and that the charge of discrimination based on age was not established "by competent evidence." Id. at 36. In addition, the Arbitrator noted that the ability to select one's own attire was not a personal right protected under the parties' agreement and, as a result, the Agency was free to establish reasonable standards of dress at the workplace.
Eighth, the Arbitrator responded to the Union's contention that even if there was an enforceable dress policy, the grievants did not violate that policy because their clothing was acceptable in the business community, was appropriate for the ATSC environment, and was not disruptive of the workplace. The Arbitrator found that the Agency's dress policy is contained in Section X(F) of the Guide, which provides guidance for employees and managers on appropriate dress at the workplace. The Arbitrator found that management's approach to a dress policy at the ATSC was consistent with the Guide and that, in fact, the ATSC at one time had a dress policy that mirrored the Guide. The Arbitrator found that management's application of the dress policy at the ATSC was extremely liberal and he could not "fault management's application of the [Guide] on Employee Conduct standard on dress at the ATSC work site." Id. at 38. The Arbitrator further found that management retains the right to direct its workforce and, as such, "should be free to reasonably regulate and prescribe standards of personal attire at the job site." Id.
Based on the foregoing, the Arbitrator found that management at the ATSC had prohibited the wearing of shorts since the facility opened, that the rule was applicable to all employees, and that the Union failed to demonstrate that the policy was unreasonable or created a hardship on the grievants. Consequently, the Arbitrator concluded that the Agency's decision forbidding employees to wear shorts at the ATSC was within management's discretion to control and direct its workforce as prescribed in the management's rights section of the parties' agreement. Therefore, the Arbitrator found that management acted in conformity with the agreement when it counseled the grievants and sent them home to change their clothes. Accordingly, the Arbitrator denied the grievance.
III. Positions of the Parties
A. Union
The Union argues that the Arbitrator's finding that only the Authority has jurisdiction to resolve unfair labor practice charges is "in violation of law" and fails to draw its essence from the parties' agreement. Exceptions at 2. Specifically as to the claimed violation of law, the Union states that provisions of the Statute contemplate that grievances can include alleged violations of the Statute. The Union maintains that, based on the evidence of the Agency's repeated refusals to bargain over the dress policy at the ATSC, the Arbitrator was "obligated by existing [Authority] case law to reach the unfair labor practice issues, to find violations of 5 USC [chapter] 71, and to order appropriate make whole remedies for the employees and the Union." Id. at 4.
The Union also argues that the Arbitrator misapplied law in finding that the Agency had the right to prescribe standards of personnel attire in exercising its right to direct the workforce. The Union maintains that the Agency's dress policy was bargainable as to substance, impact, and implementation, and that it is not "an unrestrained retained management right" as the Arbitrator found. Id. at 5. In support of its argument, the Union states that the Authority has found proposals negotiable that related to agency dress policies and that an arbitrator is bound by Authority decisions, as well as laws, rules, and regulations, and not simply the "four corners" of an agreement. Id.
The Union further argues that the Arbitrator made no findings to indicate that the Union had waived its right to bargain over a dress policy. To the contrary, the Union notes the Arbitrator's finding that the parties were unable to reach agreement on a dress policy during contract negotiations and that the matter was left unresolved. The Union also claims that the Arbitrator overlooked the fact that even if negotiations at the national level had been unsuccessful, the Union retained the right to bargain over the practices, procedures, and arrangements for implementing a dress policy at the local level. In this regard, the Union states that the Arbitrator's finding that the Agency exercised its rights under section 7106(a)(2)(A) of the Statute unlawfully "superseded the Union's rights under 5 USC 7106(b)(2) and (3)." Id. at 6. In sum, the Union maintains that by unilaterally implementing a dress policy without affording the Union any notice or opportunity to bargain, the Agency violated sections 7106(b), 7114(b), and thereby 7116(a)(1), (5), and (8) of the Statute. Id. at 5.
Finally, the Union claims that the award fails to draw its essence from the parties' agreement because it directly contradicts the express language of the agreement. The Union explains that the agreement "specifically incorporated into its jurisdiction references to the parties' rights and responsibilities under 5 USC [c]hapter 71." Id. Thus, in the Union's view, the Arbitrator was required to determine whether those agreement provisions had been violated and to order appropriate remedies. The Union asserts that the Arbitrator's failure to interpret and apply the provisions constituted an infidelity to the Arbitrator's obligation to apply all agreement terms and evidence a manifest disregard "for the parties' clear intent to incorporate the statutory provisions by reference into the contract." Id. at 5.
B. Agency
The Agency contends that the Arbitrator indirectly addressed all the unfair labor practice issues by finding that the Agency did not unlawfully implement a dress policy unilaterally and that ATSC management did not change either the existing dress policy or its application. For the same reason, the Agency also asserts that the negotiability of a dress policy is not at issue in this case. In the Agency's view, the Union is simply disagreeing with the Arbitrator's findings and conclusions. The Agency adds, however, that if there are issues that the Arbitrator failed to resolve, the case should be remanded for the limited purpose of addressing only the issues deemed appropriate by the Authority. In this regard, the Agency maintains that there is no need to vacate the entire award.
IV. Analysis and Conclusions
The Union contends that the award is contrary to law because the Arbitrator failed to find that the Agency violated the Statute by changing its dress policy without bargaining with the Union over the change or the impact of that change. We disagree that the Arbitrator was required to resolve the grievance under either section 7106 or section 7116 of the Statute. Significantly, in this regard, we note that the parties framed the issue solely in terms of a contractual, not a statutory, violation. Therefore, the Arbitrator appropriately determined that he was authorized to resolve only the issue of whether the Agency had violated the national agreement by its conduct.(*) Accordingly, the Union has not established that the award is deficient because the Arbitrator failed to determine whether the Agency violated the Statute by its actions.
The Union also contends that the award fails to draw its essence from the parties' agreement because the Arbitrator disregarded language in the agreement incorporating the rights and responsibilities embodie

From a very young age, it was apparent that art would play a huge role in Matthew Clark's life. Raised on a healthy diet of Saturday morning cartoons, old Walt Disney classics and children's books, it was a natural transition for him to start creating his own characters. He scribbled them in the books, on the walls, and any piece of paper he could get his hands on. Matthew's current style continues to be shaped by these early influences, as well as the new ones he has been introduced to throughout his life. The graphics on the bottoms of skateboards, the flyers from rock shows, and graffiti lining the city streets opened his eyes to new art cultures that instantly grabbed hold of him and can be seen in his work today. Although a self-taught painter and illustrator, Matthew has a formal education in graphic design, which has helped to cultivate new skills and shape the style and applications of his artwork.
When not behind the computer monitor at his job as the art director for a Denver-based publishing company, Matthew's time is spent drawing, painting, and designing various projects for a variety of clients. Matthew has created many illustrations and paintings that have been displayed on skateboards, snowboards, t-shirts, posters, books, album covers as well as in many local galleries in the Denver, Colorado area. Matthew continues to infuse his work with the new influences that he encounters, continually striving to evolve and expand his skills with each new piece he creates.

Very beautiful place. I think the square crop works well, as the nature of the shot is to flare out at the bottom. I think it creates a nice balanced shot.

Gary asks: "Christian mysticism, contemplative Christian spirituality, (pardon my naive position but are these different, similar or the same?)…"
Regarding the distinction between contemplation and mysticism: I do address this issue in my forthcoming book (can't resist the plug), but briefly, I would say mysticism is an umbrella term for spirituality that engages the mysteries of the faith (and this is a pun, for the Eastern Orthodox Churches call the sacraments the "mysteries"), whereas contemplation is a form of prayer that emphasizes silence, the surrendering of discursive language as a means of communicating with God in favor of entering the Divine darkness — the mystery of God beyond what our finite human minds can fathom — what in the fourteenth century was deemed "the cloud of unknowing." Anyone with a passing knowledge of mysticism will recognize what an essential role contemplation plays in any form of mystical spirituality, no matter how humble or ordinary.
So they are different in the sense that mysticism refers to a type of spirituality while contemplation refers to a type of prayer; yet they are similar in that contemplation is a mystical form of prayer. Meanwhile, I think because mysticism is, in the popular mind, so associated with supernatural/extraordinary experiences on the one hand, or with occultism or new ageism on the other, many Christians are naturally hesitant to apply this term to themselves. I agree, for much the same reason why it is bad form to call oneself a "shaman": a calling that is inherently humble (i.e., self-forgetful) would naturally be evidenced most clearly in those who do not bother to claim the calling for themselves.
On the other hand, of course, is Rahner's comment about the Christian of the future. But if we are all called to be mystics, doesn't this mean we are all called to enter into the darkness of contemplation? I think so. And so, for this reason, while I don't like to call myself a mystic, I am willing to speak of myself as a contemplative (or, perhaps, an aspiring contemplative), since I do yearn to encounter God in the space before, between and beyond my faltering thoughts. Classical ascetical theology distinguishes between infused contemplation (contemplation as gift from God) and acquired contemplation (contemplation freely chosen by the human being, in grateful response to God's freely given grace). Furthermore, contemplation is related to unitive or nondual consciousness: the space beyond words is also the space beyond dualistic or oppositional thinking. While I think it is true that we attain that degree of consciousness only through grace, I also believe it is a level of consciousness available to everyone, and therefore attainable by those who are willing to embrace it (as Richard Rohr teaches, usually through great love, great suffering, or a sustained practice of contemplative prayer).
So I think it is not inappropriate to call ourselves contemplatives, as a way of affirming our intention to respond to the mystery of Divine Love by offering our own feeble attempt at love in return, in the empty places where human words always fail.

This is another, I forgot to get my maps post. Here's the story.
I am going on a my first tour next week. Short, five days, going with four friends. It's a first for all of us. The tour we are doing is pretty much lifted from a bicycle tour book, except that we are winging one day. The tour in the book is a loop, and we're taking a different route on our second day to make the ride one day shorter.
In all of the getting ready for the tour, I neglected to get maps early. There are detailed directions in the book for all the days except the one we are improvising.
So . . .
1--am I crazy to think I can pick up maps along the way?
2--if I am crazy, what kind of maps should I start looking for right away? Should I directly contact the counties we will be travelling through?
We will be travelling through the Texas Hill Country, and the loop will take us through four counties--Kerr, Kimble, Real, and Edwards.
You know it really should have dawned on me to make sure to procure maps whenever I ordered my MAP CASE. Geez.
Feel free to make fun of me, but then offer some advice.

"Nothing for Me" Viareggio by BruceDunning
Viareggio Travel Guide: 9 reviews and 35 photos
The beach looked very large and clean. The problem is that is appears all to be private, so that costs money. The city name means "way of the kings". The old new city is only from early 1500's when Lucca wanted access to the sea and the town became commerciliazed. Before then, the Romans used it as an outpost against the Ligurians from 100AD. It became a mecca for fishing and boat building.
Traffic and parking can be a problem, but the streets are wide and the whole area feels "clean". There are tree forests at either end, making the area beautiful in color.
The pier to the end is a nice view of the city and some locals fish here.
The geographic view shows how a narrow sliver of land is along the beach and then the mountains climb right into the peaks. The Appenine and Apuan moutains make up a lot of the territory north of Lucca. Along the sea and that level are of course Viareggio, going up to Massa and Carrara area. They make use of the beach amenities/
- Pros:Lovely view of the city and ocean
- Cons:Getting into the city is a hassle and then the beach costs

Experimental MS Pill Continues to Show Promise
Latest Neurology News
By Salynn Boyles
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
Sept. 19, 2012 -- An experimental pill is showing promise for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
In two late-phase studies appearing in The New England Journal of Medicine, the drug BG-12 (dimethyl fumarate) reduced relapses by about half in patients with the most common form of MS.
If approved by the FDA, BG-12, which is being developed by drug maker Biogen Idec, will become the third oral drug for people with multiple sclerosis.
The second -- Sanofi Aventis' pill Aubagio -- won FDA approval just last week.
"This is an exciting time in the development of new drugs for MS, especially considering the fact that we had no effective treatments just a few decades ago," says National MS Society Chief Research Officer Timothy Coetzee, PhD.
BG-12 Reduced Relapses, Lesions
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease in which the immune system attacks the insulation that coats and protects nerve fibers of the brain and spinal cord.
With the most common type, people experience sporadic attacks or flare-ups of symptoms that are then followed by periods of remission. Symptoms include numbness, fatigue, vision problems, spasms, and issues with bladder and bowel control.
People with this "relapsing-remitting" form of MS were the target group for the new oral drug.
The two newly published trials were funded by the drug's manufacturer.
In one, patients with relapsing-remitting disease who took BG-12 twice a day had a 44% reduction in relapses over two years of treatment. In the second study, the relapse reduction over the same period was 53%.
The most common side effects associated with treatment were flushing and stomach issues such as diarrhea and abdominal pain. But most patients experienced fewer of these events after the first month of treatment.
Twice-daily treatment was also linked to a 71% reduction in new brain lesions associated with MS in one of the studies, led by neurologist Robert J. Fox, MD, who runs the Cleveland Clinic Mellen Center for Multiple Sclerosis.
Fox has served as a paid Biogen Idec consultant for projects unrelated to the BG-12 study.
"In my opinion, BG-12 offers a very strong combination of (effectiveness), safety, and tolerability," he says.
Coetzee says it remains to be seen if the new oral drugs will replace standard first-line injectable treatments.
"My guess is that the injectables will remain an important treatment option," he says. "The more options we have the better."
That's because some people do not respond to certain treatments or cannot tolerate them.
Earlier this year, Biogen filed a request with the FDA to market BG-12 in the U.S. A spokeswoman for the company says the agency could rule on the request by the end of the year.

On July 30, the whole world watched as 13 Greenpeace activists dangled from ropes tied to the St. John's bridge in Portland, Ore., red and yellow streamers catching the wind. They were blocking the exit of the Fennica, Shell's ice breaker headed to the Arctic to facilitate drilling. These young activists hung there for 40 hours in makeshift platforms and slings during some of the hottest days on record, before the police and Coast Guard brought them down. One hundred feet below them, filling the river with their colorful small boats, were Portland's "kayactivists" from the local Climate Action Coalition -- some were experienced paddlers, others kayaking for the very first time. On shore stood over 500 people, cheering and chanting "Stop that boat!" Some were moved to tears by this unprecedented spectacle and by the courage of the protesters.
