Yvonne Brill, a pioneer in spacecraft propulsion who suspended a promising career to raise three children and then returned to work full time to achieve her greatest engineering successes, died March 27 at a hospital in Princeton, N.J. She was 88.
She had complications from breast cancer, her son Matthew Brill said.
At a time of debate over women's prospects for both having a family and reaching the highest career levels, accounts of Brill's life suggest that she managed to "have it all." She was internationally respected in her field and spoke openly about the struggles she faced in being devoted to family and work.
As a specialist in the chemistry of propulsion, she made vital contributions to the operation of the orbiting space satellites that have become essential to modern life, placing the most remote areas of the globe in virtually instantaneous communication. She held a patent for a widely used propulsion system.
She was described by a women's engineering organization in 1945 as being possibly the only woman with a technical job who was involved in rocket propulsion.
In 2011, President Barack Obama awarded her the National Medal of Technology and Innovation. In 1987, when scarcely any women were members, she was elected to the National Academy of Engineering.
Brill left full-time engineering work in the late 1950s while pregnant with her first child. She continued to do consulting work and returned to the rigors of a demanding career when she joined RCA Astro Electronics in 1966.
"I really wanted to go back to work," she said in an interview with the Society of Women Engineers. Still, she said, it was not easy: "I felt very put upon."
But she accepted the difficulties and lack of time for herself because "I was happy in my job, I liked what I was doing." In addition, she said, "I felt that I was making real progress ... introducing all these new ideas."
Yvonne Madelaine Claeys was born Dec. 30, 1924, in a suburb of Winnipeg, in the Canadian province of Manitoba, to parents who emigrated from Belgium and who, she once recalled, probably never finished high school.
She said she "just sort of didn't really realize that I was relatively intelligent until I got to high school and started to get top marks."

is that you SED?
i'm not into cavendish, whatever that is.
Cavendish: Cavendish is more a method to treat tobacco than a type. English Cavendish uses a dark flue or fire cured Virginia which is steamed and then stored under pressure to permit it to cure and ferment for several days to several weeks.
how about the Purple Indica?
Negative, cavendish is the only thing that goes in that pipe.

16.4 Ocean-Wave Spectra
Ocean waves are produced by the wind. The faster the wind, the longer the wind blows, and the bigger the area over which the wind blows, the bigger the waves. In designing ships or offshore structures we wish to know the biggest waves produced by a given wind speed. Suppose the wind blows at 20 m/s for many days over a large area of the North Atlantic. What will be the spectrum of ocean waves at the downwind side of the area?
Pierson-Moskowitz Spectrum
To obtain a spectrum of a fully developed sea, they used measurements of waves made by accelerometers on British weather ships in the North Atlantic. First, they selected wave data for times when the wind had blown steadily for long times over large areas of the North Atlantic. Then they calculated the wave spectra for various wind speeds, and they found that the spectra were of the form (Figure 16.7):
where ω = 2π f, f is the wave frequency in Hertz, a = 8.1 × 10-3, b = 0.74, ω0 = g/U19.5 and U19.5 is the wind speed at a height of 19.5 m above the sea surface, the height of the anemometers on the weather ships used by Pierson and Moskowitz (1964).
For most air flow over the sea the atmospheric boundary layer has nearly neutral stability, and
assuming a drag coefficient of 1.3 × 10-3.
The frequency of the peak of the Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum is calculated by solving dS/dω = 0 for ωp, to obtain
The speed of waves at the peak is calculated from (16.10), which gives:
Hence waves with frequency ωp travel 14% faster than the wind at a height of 19.5 m or 17% faster than the wind at a height of 10 m. This poses a difficult problem: How can the wind produce waves traveling faster than the wind? We will return to the problem after we discuss the JONSWAP spectrum and the influence of nonlinear interactions among wind-generated waves.
The significant wave-height is calculated from the integral of S(ω) to obtain:
Remembering that H1/3 = 4 <ζ 2>1/2, the significant wave-height calculated from the Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum is:
Figure 16.8 gives significant wave-heights and periods calculated from the Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum.
JONSWAP Spectrum
Wave data collected during the JONSWAP experiment were used to determine the values for the constants in (16.36):
where F is the distance from a lee shore, called the fetch, or the distance over which the wind blows with constant velocity.
The energy of the waves increases with fetch:
where x is fetch.
The JONSWAP spectrum is similar to the Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum except that waves continues to grow with distance (or time) as specified by the α term, and the peak in the spectrum is more pronounced, as specified by the γ term. The latter turns out to be particularly important because it leads to enhanced non-linear interactions and a spectrum that changes in time according to the theory of Hasselmann (1966).

Three teachers at state universities face questions about their futures over comments they allegedly made, according to the professors or school officials.
University of Colorado ethnic studies professor Ward Churchill sparked a firestorm over a post-September 11th essay he wrote, while a student at Colorado State University-Pueblo has accused anthropology professor Dan Forsyth of calling Mexicans "a lazy and bitter people" during class. Forsyth denies the accusation.
Meanwile C-U history instructor Phil Mitchell says he is being forced out because of his Christian faith and conservative politics. But C-U spokeswoman Pauline Hale says Mitchell's appointment was shortened from three years to one to allow more flexibility in personnel decisions.

The deputy director-general of the Chinese Ministry of Health's Bureau of Disease Control said Friday that officials are in discussions to scrap the ban on visits by HIV-positive non-Chinese "as soon as possible." "Such a ban was put into effect in a time when we knew little about AIDS," Hao Yang said. "Now that we have realized it is unnecessary, it is time for us to lift it." "Attitude toward AIDS is a good indicator of a society's openness and confidence," said Huang Mengfu, president of the Red Ribbon Foundation, at whose meeting Hao was speaking. "China is making progress in this field as awareness of the disease is growing rapidly among the people." Hao commented on the ban in response to a question about Robert Dessaix, an HIV-positive Australian writer who was denied a visa to attend the International Literary Festival in Shanghai, a move that sparked a protest petition signed by nearly 100 prominent Australian authors. The United States dropped its longstanding ban on entry by HIV-positive non-nationals on Jan. 4.

Olivier: The Authorised Biography
Bloomsbury, 2005 - Actors - 607 pages
Laurence Olivier is a complex and unexpected portrait of a man tormented by his own ruthless genius and everlasting guilt. It is the story of a High Church clergyman's son who became a West End matinee idol, and only at the age of twenty-eight determined to make himself a great Shakespearean actor, which he did in one season at the Old Vic. The next year he made himself a Hollywood star in Wuthering Heights and Rebecca, then produced, directed and acted in his own Shakespeare movies.
Work and sex were for him inseparable: acting, he once said, was like coming for a living. Having abandoned his first wife, he entered a turbulent marriage with the manic-depressive Vivien Leigh. She dominated his life for twenty years and they became the royal family of the British stage. Then, to save himself and his work, he 'dropped the legend' and wrenched himself away from her, and was ever afterwards tormented by a sense of sin which only heroic and incessant work could expiate.
He married Joan Plowright, a generation younger than himself, had a new young family, and became founding director of the National Theatre. But even the National, in his view, ended in betrayal and tragedy. For twenty years he was stricken by one illness after another. When he could no longer stand on a stage he acted sitting down. In his last years he played so many famous death scenes that when he died at the age of eighty-two his son half expected him to emerge from the house to be congratulated on yet another. St Paul's and Westminster Abbey, the two principal theatres of the Church of England, outbid each other to stage the positively final appearance of the man universally seen as the most magical actor of his day.

You can then bid on any artwork in an auction by entering either the next highest bidding increment or the maximum price you are willing to pay for that artwork. By entering a maximum bid, our system will automatically bid on your behalf up to that dollar amount based on the auction bidding increments. You will receive an email confirmation when you have placed a bid and will be notified via email if you are outbid.
Some Artspace Auctions culminate in live auction events. If that is the case, your maximum bid will be transferred over to the live auction, and Artspace will either bid by proxy on your behalf or you may opt to continuing bidding online simultaneously with bidders in attendance at the event. The online auction end time will be clearly indicated below the bidding field.

What is a print?
Printmaking is an umbrella term for a variety of fine art techniques that involve producing an artwork in multiples. These include various methods developed throughout the course of art history—from traditions such as etching, woodcut printing, and lithography to more recent advances like digital printing—all of which are derived from the same concept: the artist transfers an image of his or her own design from a source (a metal, wood, or stone plate, for example) to paper, fabric, or the like. Prints are produced in finite editions; no additional artworks are ever produced beyond the determined edition number, which is why they remain valuable investment opportunities.

|played Catherine Willows in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
Catherine's birthplace and upbringing is uncertain. Early seasons have her birthplace as Montana while more recent seasons have her as being born and raised in Las Vegas. At sixteen she left for Seattle with her musician boyfriend. After she found him cheating she returned to her parents home only to find she wasn't allowed to return. She made her way to Las Vegas where she began working as an Exotic Dancer. It was here that she met Jimmy Tadero, her mentor. He noticed something about her and encouraged her to become a CSI.
Catherine was married to Eddie Willows for several years. It was during her relationship with Eddie that she developed a cocaine habit (which she kicked after leaving him). They have one daughter, Lindsey. Eddie was an off-strip band manager who didn't have an actual job. Although it is never stated outright it is general believed that he was abusive towards Catherine. She left him after coming home and finding him in their bed with another woman. Even after leaving him it took her some time to file for divorce. Eddie died several years ago after being shot in the stomach outside a recording studio. No one was ever charged with his murder because the evidence was inconclusive.
Not long after Eddie's death Catherine found out her biological father was Sam Braun, a Vegas casino mogul. Unfortunately she found this out during a murder investigation. Several months later she received a check for $250,000 from him. Her father has been involved in two investigations since that time.
Catherine's relationship with her daughter has been strained recently. Between the demands of her job and Lindsey's becoming a teenager this was inevitable. Catherine tried to ease the strain by applying for a position as dayshift supervisor but was given swing shift instead which took her away from her daughter even more. Her mother now lives with her, helping to care for Lindsey adding even more strain to Catherine's life. She does attempt to have a social life but she seems to have a problem choosing men who will treat her right.
Catherine shares a good relationship with most of her coworkers. Her friendships with Gil Grissom and Warrick Brown seem to be deeper than the rest. Her relationship with Grissom has a long history. The share meals together and confide deeply personal information with each other. Warrick is also there for her in times of trouble, willing to lend a shoulder to cry on when needed. She shares an incredible chemistry with both of these men.
Catherine's specialty is Blood Splatter Analysis. She has a B.S. in Medical Technology from UNLV. She was recently promoted to Swing Shift Supervisor. In the past year she returned to the Graveshift. She is still a supervisor but her exact position has yet to be clarified. Catherine works from both scientific and intuitive perspectives. Her job puts her (as well as the other CSIs) in danger often. She has been attacked on a crime scene and she also been kidnapped. She has killed a man in the line of duty in order to save the life of Gil Grissom (unloading her gun into Syd Goggle in the process).
Her first opportunity to be a supervisor occurred during this case (she turned it down). The next opportunity came four years later. She requested the promotion only to find out her supervisor had already sent in his recommendation that she be the one to fill the position. She returned to the Graveyard shift after a year and her current position is somewhat unclear other than she is still a supervisor of some sort.

This is a great mask and outfit that will be sure to catch the eyes of many. People loved it and it was easy to take off/on. Surprisingly you can see pretty well when placed at a certain angle on your face, but be cautious that you will most likely need to hold with one hand in place most of the time if you plan on watching others reactions. The long, enormous hands that come with it are a great asset too. The artwork and material was well crafted.

Had a family party last weekend. 77 degrees. I got very hot in the mask. All things considered I think it is an Excellent costume. It is Hard to see out of. You might have to modify the eye holes. Mask can be pulled off and put on extremely easy. Gloves are a pain in the ____ (wont let me write what I want) to put on. I love the originality. It was a big hit with adults and kids alike. I used a different robe than what came with the product. I plan on using the new robe on Halloween and I didn\'t want to ruin it.

A 14-inch line running through town from the water plant has burst on Pecan and Third Streets at approximately 6 p.m., currently rendering an unknown amount of people without water. As of now, both streets are flooded.
City Manager David Casteel said that water system pressure was restored by 6:45 p.m. and estimated the loss at 325,000 gallons. Utility Superintendent Randall Dawson and city workers worked to shut the water in the area off within an hour of the line break.
"As far as people without water... it will be on Pecan Street from Fifth Street to Second Street, and then Second Street from Pecan to Oak," Dawson said. "And that should be all that's affected with the water loss."
He added that he installed a valve between Fourth and Fifth streets five years ago that allowed workers quicker access to shutting off city water, thereby saving countless gallons of water. Dawson said that building water pressure blew off a portion of the side of the line, and he hopes that the repair will be finished within four hours of 7 p.m.
Most of the businesses on the Graham Square were closed at the time of the line break, but workers for both Stogies vapor shop and Studio 12 Group fitness, both on Oak Street at the Square, confirmed either fluctuating or no water pressure.
Casteel also confirmed that United Supermarket on Highway 16 was briefly without water, but pressure for the store has returned.
"This is an old cast iron line and was installed in the 1940s," Casteel said. "Three valves isolated the break, (and) the area bound by Oak, Second, Pecan and Fifth (Streets) will be without service until the leak is repaired."
According to Casteel, there is a gas line near the water line, and city workers are waiting on line locators before they can dig up the break and begin repairs.
"We won't know the extent of the break until the line is exposed, but it is safe to guess that the extremely dry and shrinking soil has caused pressure on the line and contributed to the break," Casteel said.

The first major release of my fully manual camera app is out. See my dedicated article here in the DPR forums:
We wrote yesterday about some of the imaging related changes that Apple announced with the latest version of its mobile operating system, iOS 8, at its annual developers event WWDC. Now that users have had a day or so to play with the developers' beta version of iOS 8, a few more photo features have been discovered that were not mentioned in the keynote. Here's a quick summary:
Time-Lapse Mode
There is a good selection of time lapse apps available in the App Store but Apple has now apparently decided to integrate this feature into the standard camera app. Next to Video and Slo-Mo there is now also a Time-Lapse mode. By the looks of it, it's a fairly basic implementation, without much control over shooting and processing parameters. So if you're a time-lapse aficionado you might still be better off with one of the more complex dedicated apps.
Separate control of exposure and focus
Until now in the iPhone camera app the exposure had been locked to the focus point. In most shooting scenarios this works fine but occasionally, when you want or have to focus on very dark or bright area of the frame, you might end up with an over- or underexposed image. Some third-party camera apps and many Android phones have therefore been allowing separate control of exposure and focus for quite some time.
Now Apple has integrated some additional control over exposure into its own camera app as well. The focus point is selected as before, by tapping on the screen. However, you can now adjust exposure by sliding up or down.
The self-timer does what it says and allows you to set a 3- or 10-second delay for the occasions when you want to be in the picture yourself. Now just make sure you carry a decent smartphone-tripod or other support with you, otherwise this new mode won't be of much use to you.
Instant Burst Mode
Very little detail has been surfaced about this new mode but we can only assume it is an improvement of the iPhone's current burst mode in some shape or form. It's possible that it could facilitate a version of the post-capture focusing features we've seen in other smartphones, too. We'll post an update once we know more.
iPad panorama mode
The last new photo feature is for iPad users only. In iOS 7 you could not take panoramic images on an iPad. This has now been rectified with iOS 8 and you can sweep your tablet around to capture the landscape that's surrounding you. Just make sure you don't hit any passerbys on the head by accident.

Some hours ago, Apple released a full PASM (manual) camera app (as source code):
I *really* recommend it as it's more capable than my app as it allows for, among other things, setting the tint color.
However, it lacks any kind of EXIF output: not only location data, but even basic EXIF data like ISO, shutter speed etc. I'll add EXIF saving (incl. location data) to it in my custom version.
In addition, it only saves 1920*1080 (that is, full HD) images. I'll modify the code and release a version with full-size image output too.
It doesn't contain manual flashlight control.

By Menneisyys (Jun 7, 2014)
(continued from above)
It also limits the maximal shutter speed to 1/1000s, while, as I've already explained earlier, iDevcies are generally capable of much higher shutter speeds; for example, the iPad3 to 1/37037s. (of course, I *really* don't think it's indeed that fast in practice, not even in full electronic shutter mode. Nevertheless, the default 1/1000s is a bit too limiting.) I'll also remove this restriction.
Finally, I'll add some nice blurred background to the titles so that they are always visible - as I've done in my manual app (see screenshot at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=19207197&postcount=32 )
Note that, as is common with all third-party camera apps, it (obviously) has no access to the excellent (semi-)HDR and Sweep panorama mode of the stock Camera app. Apple REALLY should let app developers access those in their apps so that users don't need to switch between the stock Camera app and other apps whenever they want to shoot HDR and/or sweep pano shots.

I finally started coding. My first results: manual focus works on the iPad3 and is working GREAT (just like on, say, Nokia's WP devices).
Here is my self-standing, directly compilable & deployable app, along with two screenshots showing it in action:

Exposure compensation is also working GREAT! (See my dedicated, earlier, pre-iOS8 article at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1621351 for more info.)
Both the iPad2 and 3 allow for +/-8 EV compensation, which is certainly VERY good news. (Let me point out again that in my above-linked Exposure Compensation and Bracketing Bible, I did point out phone cameras, except for the Nokia 808 with its, among phone cams, unique +/-4 EV comp., only generally allow for +/-2 EV.)
Both iDevices produced decent results. That is, both the shutter speed and the ISO was properly and automatically adjusted, resulting in non-noisy images (with + EV) / ones without burnt-in highlights (- EV) - which would be characteristic of faux exp. comp applied AFTER taking an image.
More info on modifying my earlier source code to allow for manual exp. comp at http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=19201202&postcount=30

Continued playing with the manual settings.
First, the good news: Both shutter speed and ISO are freely and independently settable and they do work. (Of course, if you don't pay attention, this may result in some major under/overexposure.)
The usable ISO range is, according to my measurements,
The maximum shutter speeds are as follows (minimum being, as has already been explained, 1s): iPad3: 0.000027; iPad2: 0.000037s
Second, the bad news: it seems iDevices (at least the iPad 2 and 3 but I really don't think other, current models are better) are only capable of shutter speeds up to 1s but no more. This was easy to predict as only dedicated cameraphones (for example, the 1020 with its max. 4s shutter) are capable of taking longer shots. That is, don't expect easy and factory nightshots without frame averaging.
0 upvotes
Programming: should you want to set the ISO and shutter speed yourself, just call setExposureModeCustomWithDuration. An example:
[device setExposureModeCustomWithDuration:CMTimeMake(1,1) ISO:100 completionHandler:nil];
This takes a shot with the shutter speed of 1s (1/1 = 1) and the ISO 100.
As promised, I'll VERY soon come up with a Nokia Camera-alike. Before that, I'll surely release a shooter with four, static sliders to set the four parameters (manual focus, shutter speed, ISO and (combining the latter two parameters) exp. compensation).
0 upvotes
BTW, what I *really* hate is Apple's making it purposefully impossible to develop
- for new SDK's under old(er) OS'es
An example: I have two MBP's - a 17" one (my work horse) and a 13" one (which I rarely use because of the crappy screen resolution necessiating the use of an external monitor.) My 17" one runs on 10.8 because in my AppStore apps I still support armv6 (iPhone3G/iPod touch 2G) and Xcode 4.4.1, the last Xcode version to support compiling for armv6, doesn't even start under OS X 10.9.
Needless to say, OS X 10.9.4 is needed to run Xcode 6.0 beta required to compile for iOS8 and to access the new SDK.
In this regard, Microsoft is far less developer-unfriendly.

The demise of paid photography continues. I cant believe all the positive posts to this story. No pro photographers I guess among the comments? How sad. Steve Job's legacy is that he created a product that is killing off pro photography. This will only accelerate the process. Now, even soccer moms wont bother hiring a pro photographer, thinking that because they can slide a few levers on their tiny phone screens, they are now photographers and may convince them self's that they don't even need someone for their daughters wedding. How sad. and what a joke. Paid photography RIP.

But seriously, "Steve Job's legacy is that he created a product that is killing off pro photography."?
Just because something is improving the way a certain action is accomplished, it doesn't mean that you can't still have a profession in that field. For example: Even with advanced tools like spell check and grammar check, there's still a high demand for good copy editors and people who can actually write well. Why? Because people still write things like "convince them self's that they don't even need someone for their daughters wedding."

After installing it on one of my iPad2's, I've just finished installing iOS8 beta1 on one of my iPad 3's too.
There's no panorama support at all, meaning at least the iPad 2 and 3 will NOT be able to shoot panos. Which is kinda a letdown, given that the iPhone 4S, based on the same CPU and an even higher-Mpixel sensor (meaning more data to process) is capable of doing so.
The Air and the rMini do support panos (confirmed), on the other hand. Dunno about the iPad4 / Mini 1.
Separate focus & exposure setting works great and is much more intuitive than the previous two-square approach used by all AppStore apps + CameraTweak. (They couldn't have invented anything similar to the new swipe up/down method, anyway, given that in previous iOS versions the only way of separately setting the exposure was pointing the square to a subject area, not by directly "dialing in" a positive / negative exp. bias.)

"There's no panorama support at all, meaning at least the iPad 2 and 3 will NOT be able to shoot panos."
Yeah because Beta 1 is always 100% feature complete across all supported devices.
By your logic iOS 8 won't allow anyone to install iPhoto or post reviews to the app store.
When Apple announce which devices will get which features then come back and talk to us. But until then don't make such factual statements on areas that are clearly likely to be in flux. You're sounding like you're new to this whole beta thing.

I'm 99% sure the iPad2/3 in the final version won't receive pano either. Again, let me point out that the Air / rMini has flawless pano support NOW.
Again, Apple is known for not implementing new features on "old" but still perfectly capable hardware. The A5 CPU, especially paired with the low-resolution sensor (compared to the 8 Mpixel one in the iPhone 4S) would be more than able to stitch panos. Nevertheless, because of Apple's stance on supporting old models, these two iPads will NOT receive pano.

iPad 2's camera is a sub-1Mpix joke, pointless for anything beyond record-taking purposes. I don't understand why anyone who cares enough about photography to create a DPReview account would even think about using it.
iPad 3 actually has a camera with a fighting chance to take decent photos. However, as any iPad 3 owner can tell you, the CPU/GPU inside was never quite adequate to drive the retina display UI. (iPhone 4S has to drive a much smaller display.) I don't think the camera hardware is the same, either; contemporary reviews note that the iPad camera is clearly slower than iPhone's. So there may be good technical reasons why iPad 3 cannot do pano well enough for Apple to enable the feature.

"iPad 2's camera is a sub-1Mpix joke, pointless for anything beyond record-taking purposes. I don't understand why anyone who cares enough about photography to create a DPReview account would even think about using it."
Absolutely disagreed. The vast majority of third-party on-iDevice pano stitchers generally use vertical resolutions around 720 pixels, at least in their default ("fast", not "quality") mode. So did the previous Google Camera app's sweep pano mode. Or Nokia's one on Symbian. Or Microsoft's otherwise, stitching quality-wise, pretty good pano shooter (Photosynth) on all supported platforms (iOS, WP).
That is, being restricted to "only" shoot panos 720 pixels high (unless pano shooting in portrait mode is allowed for 1280 pixel high panos) isn't that big a problem.
Finally, the low IQ of the iPad2's camera wouldn't be that big a problem - after all, sweep panos aren't that high quality on any platform (not only mobile ones - see e.g. Sony's implementation), after all.

I'm afraid you're wrong. I've just benchmarked this on one of my iOS8-upgraded iPad3's: it's capable of 2.54 fps burst shooting under good light, which is only a bit short of the iPhone 5 with its 3 fps (sporting a faster A6 but also a significantly larger-res sensor) and is almost three times(!!!) faster than the iPhone 4. (Also see my other benchmarks at http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1698879 )
All in all, the sensor's readout time isn't the problem. Neither is the speed of the A5 CPU. Let me point out that it does NOT execute non-graphical stuff slower than the A5 in the iPhone 4S - and dynamic pano stitching would belong to this category.

The iPhone needs more megapixels, although it appears Apple is not going in this direction. A quality eight-megapixel image is fine, but you need some space for cropping.
0 upvotes
If and only if they also increase the sensor size. But, as not even Apple can beat the laws of physics and they surely won't make a camera hump and/or a phone thicker than 7.5mm, it's highly unlikely we will ever see a significantly larger (larger than, say, 1/2.3") sensor in an iPhone.
That is, if they can't increase the sensor size, they'd be better sticking with a "low" resolution. They in no ways should go the Sony way with their, on the pixel level, absolutely awful 20 Mpixel sensors.

If you want to print an 8x10 image at 300dpi you only need 7.2 megapixels. So there is already space for cropping.
Next question: How many people still print 8x10 images?
In the reality of most people, the iPhone already gives them more megapixels than they will use 95% of the time. The iPhone already has twice as many megapixels as you need to fill a Retina MacBook Pro full screen!
For people who mostly post to social media, most of the current megapixels in an iPhone are dead weight that takes up valuable space on your phone and in your backups.

Yes, I too think this section is about uploading RAW files from the camera roll to iCloud, not about _capturing_ those RAW files.
So far, I haven't seen any API call on forcing saving RAW files. I'll report back if I find out anything.

What this really needed since 2007 was an exposure compensation button.
0 upvotes
Well, we still won't have this in the stock Camera app. There, all we can do is moving the exposure rectangle to a dark / bright spot to over / underexpose the image. This is, of course, far-far inferior to the solution of all other mobile OS'es. Let me point out again that for example Android had exp. compensation even some 4-5 years ago.
Hopwever, it seems it's possible to provide proper (!!!) and not faux (unlike, for example, KitCam's faux exp. slider explained in section "4. What about KitCam?" in my Exposure Compensation and Bracketing Bible at http://www.iphonelife.com/blog/87/exposure-compensation-and-bracketing-bible ) exp. comp. via at least one of the new, iOS8+ methods I've listed below starting with "setExposure".
I'll soon report back on whether these methods can indeed be used for proper exp. comp., as under other mobile OS'es. If they can, then, third-party apps will be able to provide us exp. comp. - at last.

I have some GREAT news for you all: the Camera API in iOS8 seems to start supporting all manual settings:
- focus (on non-fixed focus devices, obviously, which means the iPad2 won't be supported, but everything else will)
- aperture (of course none of the current iDevices have variable aperture - this aint Nokia n86)
- shutter speed (something sorely missing on Android)
I've uploaded the file, AVCaptureDevice.h, which contains all the declarations of the for app developers available methods. In order to find the brand new, above methods, search for "8_0". (Without the quotes, obviously.)
The file is at https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/81986513/062014/AVCaptureDevice.h
I'll continue providing you with more info and, before long, a FULL app (with sources) that makes it possible to use the new features. (Before you ask: yes, I've published several of such open source apps back in the iOS7 beta days, before the final release of the OS.)

Here are the four brand new methods setting all of the above parameters:
- (void)setFocusModeLockedWithLensPosition:(float)lensPosition completionHandler:(void (^)(CMTime syncTime))handler NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(8_0);
I will very soon code an app that sets (via manual user interface-based controls) these values to see whether they're already working and how they behave on different iOS8-capable hardware (iPad2 and iPad3 for start).

The thing I love about the iPhone 4 and 5 hardware design is that I don't need a tripod, just a flat surface.

One of the many things that makes the iPhone camera surprisingly useful. (It will be interesting to combine this with the self-timer.) Another is that the lens is at a corner, allowing – depending on phone orientation – very close proximity to objects. That makes for interesting compositions and more light on very close subjects.
(I've even taken advantage of the corner-mounted camera to peek under closed doors!)

The "YouTube Capture" app on the iPhone actually forces the user to rotate their phone to horizontal. I wish the stock iPhone camera app did that.

"Some third-party camera apps and many Android phones have therefore been allowing separate control of exposure and focus for quite some time. "
Why do you insist on comparing with Android? Almost all Android phones have crap cameras.
The natural thing would be to compare to the best phonecameras on the market - Nokia Lumia 9xx and 1xxx series. Dont you think so?
And by the way. Nokia phones have of course had these options on all their phones!

well, I think it is a valid comparison because there is a bazillion of Android phones out there and if you buy a phone these days, just in terms of market share, it is usually between Android and iPhone. You are completely right though, the Nokia devices usually have very decent cameras.

iphone camera isn't any better than much of android crowd, you think too good about apple phone if you think it can compete with that nokias. There are also better android cameras, like xperia z1, etc. The only advantage I see on the iphone side is the shutter lag. On the other hand, android now has much better panorama engine (see google camera).

"There are also better android cameras, like xperia z1, etc."
Look, I'm in no way an Apple fanboy, but this was ridiculous. The Z1's camera is REALLY bad and can't in any way match the 5s. Not even that of the Z2, for that matter.
" The only advantage I see on the iphone side is the shutter lag."
And the sweep pano. And, with the 5s, the burst speed.
" On the other hand, android now has much better panorama engine (see google camera)."
Sorry, but this is complete BS. I've very thoroughly tested the new pano feature of the Google app and found that, while it's much-much better than the sweep pano of the previous major version, it in no way can stitch frames as flawlessly as the iPhone.
Let me repeat: I'm NOT an Apple fanboy. I've had very heated debates with some people justifying Apple's anti-consumer decisions (e.g., 1GB of RAM in Retina iPads; cr@ppy Bluetooth implementation etc.) even at DPR's own iOS forum.

"I cannot imagine how crappy sweep can be better than android guided mode, which gives subtle control over composition."
Look, get a, say, iPhone 5 and a, say, N7 2013. Make some panos from exactly the same position. I *guarantee* the iPhone's pano will show much fewer (if any!) stitching errors. (Of course, WRT variable exposure, the Android app wins anything iPhone but the 5s. Nevertheless, almost all third-party, stitching-based iOS apps support variable exposure.)
Again, I've tested tons of pano apps - see my huge collection of pano iOS test shots on my flicker page. I certainly know what the iOS' sweep pano (and third-party apps) are capable of.

1, they are all demonstrating the capabilities of each pano app for iOS, incl. that of Apple themselves for my (numerous) articles on pano shooting. They are NOT meant for artistic purposes and in no way meant to be as flawless as possible.
2, even DPReview state the sweep pano of iPhones are just GREAT (for what it's worth: quick shares without any kind of post processing): http://connect.dpreview.com/post/2570079115/confessions-of-iphone5s-panorama-addict . Are also the DPR folks wrong?

I give heaps of props to anyone willing to haul around a view camera, set it up properly on a tripod, and make a nicely composed shot.

Maybe if Ansel Adams was alive today he MIGHT be using a i Pad. I meet him one time at the Cincinnati Arts Museum viewing some of his photographs, which by the way were just stunning in real life, and he wore glasses that was as thick as Coke Bottles at the time. So hey you never know.

Anybody against iPad shooting: sometimes one only has an iPad around and nothing else with a better camera. (Happened to me once too.) Then, you'll be more than thankful to have a decent(ly supported) camera in the iPad.

I just don't understand how you leave home with a 10" tablet but not your (far smaller/cheaper) phone... I think it's safe to assume the vast majority of people with tablets also have smartphones, I'm sure there's exceptions but they don't account for the number of dimwits we see using iPads as their camera. Grandpa using a tablet to take pic might be ok, some soccer mom or young dude just looks bad.

Helias shows improvement at Kickoff Classic
Crusaders stay competitive in some of their wrestling matches
Saturday, December 7, 2013
It's a day-by-day process for the Helias Crusaders.
And Saturday was better than Friday.
"We're on a positive note now, we were on one all day long," Helias coach Jacob Wadley said after the Crusaders wrestled five duals Saturday in the Kickoff Classic at Rackers Fieldhouse.
Helias, which dropped a 68-4 decision Friday to Warrensburg, went 0-5 in Saturday's duals. But the Crusaders did put out some better efforts, including one against the Kirksville Tigers. KIrksville won 60-21, but several of the matches were very competitive.
"We turn around and put a good showing against a top-three caliber team like Kirksville," Wadley said. "Things like that a positive and give us perspective that we're getting better."
Two Crusaders went 5-0 in their matches Saturday.
At 106 pounds, freshman Nick Gaines was undefeated, including three wins by fall.
"He's a fighter," Wadley said. "He keeps his composure in the tough matches. As young as he is, he's shown great maturity."
At 145, Jacob Schulte continued his outstanding starting to the season with five victories, three coming via falls.
"Jacob goes out there and believes in himself and expects nothing but the best in himself," Wadley said.
Three Crusaders — Slater Schrimpf at 113, Nate Jones at 195 and Nick Feely at 220 — finished 3-2. Kyle Pickett won a pair of matches at 160.
"We're all buying into the program, into the system," Wadley, in his first year at the helm, said. "Everybody believes in what we're teaching them. They realize they're young and inexperienced, a lot of them are just first- or second-year wrestlers getting tossed out there against some very good kids who have been around for a long time."
Despite a lack of team success, don't look for the Crusaders to have anything put a positive attitude this season.
"No, we all believe," Wadley said. "I'm going to keep encouraging them and keep maintaining that good attitude, we're going to continue to progress, progress and progress.
"We're going to keep doing what we've been doing and success will come."
Helias is back in action Tuesday against Moberly and Hickman at Hickman. The Crusaders then will host the Missouri Duals on Friday and Saturday
Here are the results from the Kickoff Classic, held Saturday at Rackers Fieldhouse:
Team Scores
Blue Pool: Camdenton (3-2) 244 points; Carthage (3-2) 196; Rolla (1-4) 150; Helias (0-5) 123.

A midwife was a professional who provided prenatal care to expecting mothers, attends the birth, and provided postpartum care to the mother and infant. Midwives specialized in low-risk pregnancies, helping women to have healthy pregnancies and natural births – the non-medical equivalent of an obstetrician, who specialized in surgical aspects of pregnancy.
In 2367, Worf acted as midwife when Keiko O'Brien went into labor in Ten Forward on the USS Enterprise-D after the ship's systems were disabled by a quantum filament. (TNG: "Disaster")
In 2372, Julian Bashir acted as midwife for Ekoria. (DS9: "The Quickening")
A Bajoran midwife assisted Mika during the birth of her half Cardassian half Bajoran baby on Empok Nor in 2375. (DS9: "Covenant")

Distress About Sex: A National Survey of WomenThe Kinsey Institute's survey on the sexual well-being of women is yielding at least two papers on the subject, co-written by Institute Director John Bancroft, sociology graduate student Jeni Loftus, and IU Professor of Sociology Scott Long. The first article, entitled "Distress About Sex: A National Survey of Women," will appear in the Archives of Sexual Behavior. It offers clinically relevant analyses regarding women's worries about their sexual lives. The second paper will examine determinants of sexual attraction and sexual well-being, and will have a more sociological focus.
What are the implications for the study and treatment of women's sexual difficulties?
The survey was directed at women in heterosexual relationships, and asked questions about their sexual lives in the previous month. Information was gathered through a computerized telephone survey with questions that did not pose preconceived notions about what is or is not problematic in a woman's sexual life, and did not impose categories that were applicable to men.
"An important lesson we have learned in this study," says John Bancroft, "is that the physical issues medical professionals focus on when dealing with 'sexual dysfunction' in women seem, in fact, to be less imporant than emotional or more subjective aspects of their sexual lives." From a representative national sample of 987 women, 24 percent reported "marked distress" about either their relationship or their own sexuality, and the most important predictors of distress were the woman's state of emotional well-being (whether she was depressed or stressed, for example), and the quality of emotional interaction with her partner during sexual activity. Physical aspects such as arousal or orgasm were actually poor predictors.
What are the implications for the study and treatment of women's sexual difficulties? A recent JAMA study (based on the national survey "Sex in America") reported that 43 percent of American women experience sexual dysfunction. Bancroft asserts that it is essential to re-think concepts of female sexual "dysfunction" and look more closely at a woman's own description of her problem and her overall quality of life -including emotional and mental health, economic pressures, and relationship difficulties. "We aren't necessarily saying anything that hasn't been said before. We're saying it in a new way."
