Brilliant Performance
Roger crushed Spanish rival Rafael Nadal 6-4 6-1 to reach the final. Roger, chasing a fourth Masters Cup title in five years, took just 59 minutes to see off Nadal in his most emphatic win over the world number two to date.
Our star, who also beat Nadal in last year's Masters Cup semi-finals, broke through at 5-4 in the first set, smashing a forehand down the line to seize the initiative.
Roger won 20 of 21 points from 4-4 in the opening set. He turned the screw in the second, breaking for 2-0 by forcing Nadal into a forehand error. Worse followed for Nadal, a double-fault gifting Roger a 4-0 lead and the defending champion delivered the coup de grace with a thumping crosscourt forehand.
Roger will play Nadal's countryman David Ferrer in tomorrow's final.
If you liked the RF logo hats that Roger wore this year at Wimbledon and the USO, and can't seem to buy one - do check out the RF hats petition thread on the English Roger Off Court forum here at RF.com (link: www.rogerfed

But the recommended yarn (see above) is kinda expensive and I'll probably need a few skeins. Plus, its also 85% wool, and Im allergic to wool. So does anybody know of a less expensive alternative with minimal amounts of wool? I'm knitting it for myself, and I'd rather cut down on the itchyness.

'Doctor Who' Recap: Red Alert
There's something odd happening in Victorian Sweetville in this week's farcical and darkly humorous episode of Doctor Who, "The Crimson Horror."
We meet a journalist who is investigating Sweetville. He dies pretty horrifically if his off-screen screams are to be believed. Later the coroner shows his twin brother the body–the dead man's skin is bright red.
The brother goes to our favorite Victorian reptilian detective, Madame Vastra, to help. He asks her if she believes a dead person's eyes can capture the image of their last sight. He holds up a photo. Vastra and Jenny enlarge it and find the Doctor staring back at them.
Sweetville is a community that only takes in pretty people, so Vastra and Strax are out by conventional standards. They send Jenny, who meets Mrs. Gillyflower and her blind daughter, Ada.
Ada has a secret. She takes food to a locked door where she tenderly talks to her "monster."
Jenny does some investigating around Sweetville and finds people being dipped into a red liquid. She continues and finds the room in which Ada keeps her monster. Jenny breaks in and finds the Doctor, bright red and unable to talk, but alive.
Jenny helps him escape and he uses the sonic to de-red himself. Jenny asks what he's doing there. Cue the old-timey sepia montage!
The Doctor had meant to take Clara to London, but they wound up in Sweetville and met the investigative journalist. Team Tardis enrolled in the town as a married couple. There, they discovered people being kept in glass bell jars. The Doctor and Clara were loaded up and dipped into the red liquid, but the Doctor reacted differently as he is an alien. Ada saves him and locks him in the cell. The journalist burst into the cell with his last breath, causing the Doctor to be the last thing he saw.
Now, they have to find Clara. Jenny points out that Clara died at Christmas. The Doctor avoids her questions just as they are attacked by Sweetville residence. Jenny pulls off her dress to reveal ninja clothes and goes all Black Widow on the guards.
The Doctor and Jenny find Clara preserved in one of the bell jars. They break her out and and wake her up. Jenny is confused how Clara's alive, but the Doctor ignores the question again.
Strax drives Vastra up to Sweetville but gets a little lost. Luckily, he finds street urchin and human GPS Thomas Thomas. This is either the silliest joke in the whole episode or a commentary on how child labor has been supplanted by modern technology. Possibly both.
Vastra had identified the red substance as being a poison from prehistoric times. The group confronts Mrs. Gillyflower, who has a very symbiotic relationship with the red worm named Mr. Sweet. He secretes the poison she uses to preserve the pretty people. Her plan is to kill all life on Earth with his poison, then wake up the people in the bell jars to restart the human race. Unfortunately for Ada, she was planning to start a new utopia without her disabled daughter.
The Doctor figures out Ada's blindness was caused by her mother's experimentation with the poison. Now Ada's angry.
The gang chases Mrs. Gillyflower into a stairwell where she falls to the bottom. As she dies, Mr. Sweet abandons her. The Doctor debates what he'll do with the creature, but Ada solves the problem by beating the creature with her cane.
The Doctor drops Clara back off in modern times. She heads over to the computer and sees photos from her adventures these past few weeks. The children she nannies for confront her, saying they're telling on her unless she takes them time-traveling, too. Uh-oh.
What did you think of the episode? Did you enjoy the more humorous tone after some more serious episodes? What do you think will happen with Clara and the kids? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

All Sorts of Weird Stuff offers news and information about George R.R. Martin, in particular about his A Song of Ice and Fire series.
"When I was young, I read all sorts of stuff. One week it would be Lovecraft, the next Vance. It was all imaginative literature, or as my dad called it 'Weird Stuff.' It was all 'Weird Stuff.'"
George R.R. Martin
New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
For awhile now, we've been sitting on some information regarding one of the upcoming, Ice and Fire-related things that George and we are involved in. But now, in the last days, things have been moving quite quickly, and it's time to pull back the curtain.
Some have seen a listing for a product named Maps of Ice and Fire at Random House's sites. But this is not, in fact, the final title. We can exclusively reveal that the final title is The Lands of Ice and Fire, which will be a boxed collection of posters featuring quite a few different maps, covering everything from the Seven Kingdoms we all know and love, to the lands Across the Narrow Sea… including the fabled Yi Ti, the lands of the Jade Sea, and the mysterious Asshai-by-the-Shadow. There'll even be maps of a city or two.
This will be the most accurate and complete maps of the world of the setting ever published, featuring lands and places that we've never even heard of before—including long-dead kingdoms, half-forgotten cities, and more. I'm not presently certain as to who the artist(s) is/will be… but I've been looking over George's own, hand-drawn maps (we've been asked to help proof them and do some of this and that for the final product—and no, don't ask us for any details!), and suffice it to say, there's plenty there to fire the imagination for any artist.
The poster collection is due to be released on October 30th or thereabouts, and you can pre-order it now.
To add a bit more information, the recent amazing work by Phil (aka Ser Mountain Goat) to produce an awesome speculative map (basing it on Tear's gorgeous original depiction of the Seven Kingdoms) has won a lot of praise… and even got GRRM commenting on it. There, he revealed some details about the map collection:
This is a very handsome map. And based on the information you have, it's quite good.
But of course there's lots of information you don't have, so it's not accurate. There are certain things—the geography and location of the Summer Islands, the placement of Qarth and the Jade Gates, everything east of Slaver's Bay and the Dothraki Sea… that you would have no way of knowing.
... I've been working on maps for the Bantam map book for most of the last week. Including lots of maps of places we have never seen before, and a "known world" map that goes as far east as Asshai. (Not a true world map, of course. If my world contains analogues of the Americas, Australia, Antarctica, and the like, the people of the Seven Kingdoms are unaware of them, so it did not seem right for the readers to know more than the characters.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

I know you said, "Sticking an ACL for the Backup account on *every* file
is out of scope"; however, remember that you can add that to the default
ACEs on every top-level directory in every effected tree and then SET
SECURITY/DEFAULT [topdir...]*.*;* to propagate that down each tree. So,
its not THAT big a deal, as compared to scripting SET SECURITY commands
to set ACEs on every file. The default ACEs get propagated to all new
files, as well.
Something to consider.
Also, have you tried filtering ANAL/AUDIT using /IGNORE=USERNAME=BACKUP?

Avoid a trip you don't want to take
If you're like me, you typically don't give much thought to getting in and out of trucks, especially if you're in a hurry. It's one of those things that every driver does many times a day, almost intuitively. And that means you could be in for a world of hurt.
Steps, grab handles or rails and deck plates can create problems if they are rusted, worn, bent, loose, have sharp edges, are covered with mud, grease or other contaminants. These all-too-common conditions can cause slips and falls that result in serious injuries.
According the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), truck drivers are more likely to suffer an injury as a result of a slip or fall than they are as a result of an on-the-road accident. Roughly half of all driver injuries that result in lost time can be attributed to slips, trips and falls.
Trucking is one of the top five industries with high claims. A study by global insurer Zurich of its workers' compensation claims for transportation customers revealed that slip, trip and fall related truck driver injuries have resulted in more than $74 million, equaling 24 percent of the overall claim frequency and 25 percent of the overall claim severity over the past three years.
Looking for trouble
When doing your pre- and post-trip walkaround safety inspections, do you look at the condition of the vehicle's steps, grab handles and deck plates? When was the last time you physically checked for soundness by applying moderate force to ensure that the handles, plates and steps are secure? Do you check for slippery conditions on these ingress and egress aids? I'd bet it's been a long time since you've done these things. It had been for me, but not anymore.
Several months ago I nearly fell off a tractor. I was climbing onto the deck plate when I slipped on some accumulated fifth wheel grease that I hadn't noticed. Thankfully, I did not fall. I did, however, seriously bang my right knee. (It seems surgery is in my future.)
Use your body
I prevented what could have been a more serious injury because I always use the three points of contact system for getting in and out of a vehicle cab or mounting or dismounting truck bodies and trailers. It's a simple maneuver where a driver keeps three of his four limbs in contact with the vehicle at all times so only one limb is in motion at any one time. Having three points of contact provides maximum stability and support, reducing the likelihood of slipping and falling. Otherwise, a driver is unstable and easily imbalanced, so any misstep or faulty grip could result in a fall.
That can be more than merely embarrassing. Falls from a height of as low as four feet — about the height of a tractor's deck plate from the ground — can result in serious injury. The average person's reaction time as they realize they are slipping is about half a second, and that's the same amount of time it takes to fall four feet. As you tumble, gravity pulls you down and your speed of descent quickly increases, which means the impact forces increase as well.
So a person falling from a height of four feet will hit the ground with impact forces as high as 12 times a person's body weight. A 250-pound driver, by way of example, would hit the ground with a force of up 3,000 pounds.
Broken bones, sprained ankles or wrists, scrapes and bruises and worse can be the result of that kind of tumble, and more serious injury could take a driver off the road for a time.
My near fall and hurt knee served as a warning and has caused me to be more conscientious about how I move around my vehicle.
On Your Feet
Tips for avoiding falls
1 Check the condition of grab handles and rails, steps, ladders, deck plates, catwalks, etc., during pre-trip and post-trip safety inspections and make any necessary repairs.
2 Keep such things as tools, gloves, brushes, fire extinguisher, etc., in their proper place and out of the path of entry/exit.
3 Enter and exit facing the vehicle, take sufficient time getting in/out and always use the three points of contact system.
4 Get a firm grip with your hands, not just with your fingertips.
5 Use the ball of your foot on step surfaces, not just the tips of your shoes.
6 Look for obstacles on the ground below before climbing down.
7 Avoid carrying items while entering/exiting so your hands are free to get a more secure grip.
8 Do not use parts of the vehicle that are not designed as handholds or footholds to get on or off.
9 Keep in mind that environmental conditions can affect the "performance" of grab handles, steps and surfaces. Conditions such as snow, ice, rain, mud, grease and even morning dew can increase slip or fall potential, so use extra caution in these instances.
10 Wear the appropriate footwear. It should provide good foot and ankle support and have non-slip soles.

Free Keyword Builder
Keywords are the focus point of every Internet marketing campaign. Finding a free keyword builder isnt hard, but you have to understand their limitations.
Free Keyword Builder
Building a keyword list for a pay-per-click or search engine optimization campaign is a critical step. To be honest, you should break out the credit card and pay for a top notch keyword analysis tool. If you insist on doing it for free, there are a couple of ways to go about it.
At one time, overture was the dominant pay-per-click search engine. Over time, Google Adwords has surpassed it, but it still dominates in one area. The Overture inventory tool is simply the best free source for developing keywords. You simply enter the most general keyword you are interested in and it kicks out all relevant stats for the last 30 days period. The stats include the keyword phrases incorporating your word, which were used by surfers on MSN and Google. It will also tell you the number of total searches each month and how much it costs to bid on various positions on Overture.
The Overture inventory tool has one distinct disadvantage. It doesnt really differentiate where the searches are occurring, to wit, on Yahoo, MSN or another location where it places ads. As a result, the keyword phrases can be hit and miss because some might be generated by European traffic or what have you. Personally, I only use the tool to determine if there are enough searches in a particular area to warrant developing a site or section of a site. Since it is free, however, one can hardly complain about the results.
A better keyword builder is WordTracker. You have to pay, but you can buy a two day membership for a miserly $8. If you cant afford $8, you might be in the wrong game. Regardless, Wordtracker essentially does the same thing as Overture. The primary difference, however, is it is far more accurate, surveys a longer period of time and tells you how many other sites are competing for the keywords it reports. This lets you identify primer keyword phrases that might have 500 searches a day, but only a few sites competing for them. On top of this, it even analyzes Overture and tells you how the traffic is divided up.
Developing accurate keywords is critical to your marketing. Find a free keyword builder like Overture isnt a problem, but you are far better off spending the $8 on WordTracker.

Photographing Alaska's Coastal Grizzly Bear
Reprint from Nov '99 BT Journal
Note: You should not take the information here and then go find a grizzly bear to photograph. This information is provided so when you go with a guide such as myself, you are photographically prepared to capture the image.
Alaska has a number of big mammal species that I want to get to know better (and photograph) with the Grizzly Bear definitely at the top of that list. While science categorizes grizzlies into just a couple of species, with my limited exposure to them, I like to think of the grizzly a little differently than science does. This B News article is about the group of Alaskan Grizzlies that I think of as the coastal grizzly. These are the grizzlies that make their home in the coastal stretches along the Alaskan Range, the west side of Cook Inlet.
Now by no means am I going to pass myself off as a Grizzly Bear expert, having thousands of hours of observation time under my belt. What I have to offer you are insights that I've gathered after a couple of weeks of daily observation and photography of coastal grizzly bears. I was amongst two dozen individual Grizzly Bears and at times just feet away from them. I went on my adventure with all sorts of thoughts, stories and myths about grizzlies in my head, many the same ones you might have. But the experiences I had dashed the myths surrounding these magnificent creatures. It's my hope to enlighten you about these gentle giants, enticing you to come to Alaska and experience for yourself the coastal grizzlies!
The "myth" I went to Alaska with that I think a lot of others have is that getting physically close to a grizzly is like courting death. When another photographer told me that his headshot of a grizzly was taken with an 80-200f2.8 lens, I was in awe, thinking that getting that close was living on the edge to say the least. Photographing grizzlies in socially uptight locales like Brooks Camp or McNeil River where there are lots of grizzlies in a small space, getting physically close is probably not a wise thing to do. There are too many "bear things" going on that we humans just can't see or know about all the time. But in situations where grizzlies are doing grizzly things in wide open spaces without other "bear pressures", getting physically close is not life threatening. In fact, being just a few feet from an 800lb sow and three cubs is one of the most exciting wildlife experiences this old photographer has ever done in his life!
Like all articles I've written where I've stressed understanding basic biology, photographing grizzlies more than any other species, depends on basic biological knowledge. Much of what I have to share with you I first read in biological reports, having the biology lessons reinforced by personal observation. I had a 900lb male griz run at me from more than one hundred yards out. He ended up passing by me still in a run by less than ten feet (yes, I was shooting the entire time). Being able to experience and distinguish that bear's behavior as running and not charging was personally and photographically rewarding! But it's that kind of basic biological understandings I'm stressing folks have so they experience the rewards of Grizzly Bear photography. (Please understand that photographers are seemingly killed each year by grizzly attacks, yet most of the time the fatalities are because of the photographer's ignorance and not grizzly aggression.)
Coastal grizzlies have two main foraging strategies, grazing and fishing. Both of these strategies offer great bear viewing and photography. Understanding what you're seeing and being able to capture the best possible photograph relies directly, in my opinion, on your knowledge of what you're seeing in the viewfinder. Let this be the start of your bear lessons.
The Grazers
Grizzly Bears emerge from their winter dens hungry. They have been living off their fat reserves for many months as they slept and they emerge in a mode to replace the fat they lost plus more. But they typically have at least forty-five days to wait until the first big salmon runs begin. While they might find carrion like a winter moose kill or washed up seal or possibly whale carcass, it's not enough to sustain one grizzly let alone a whole population of grizzlies and their hungers for long. And if we're talking about a sow nursing spring or second year cubs, there is an even more pressing need for immediate food. The grizzly has evolved amazingly to succeed through the eons not on these seemingly bare pickings but by foraging on the sedges of the sloughs and coastline until the salmon run (and still eating sedges after the runs have started). What boggles my mind is these gentle giants become giants on grass!
The sea of green sedges, covering many coastal beachhead stretches attracts bears from all over the region. The lush, new growth of these grasses, believe it or not, sustains the coastal grizzly (or as the locals call them, brown bears where as the interior bears they call grizzlies). In fact, they are even able to start putting on fat from this forage. At one of my favorite locales to photograph griz, Silver Salmon Creek, the grizzlies are like cattle on the flats, grazing on the grass as a treasured delicacy!
The spring light bathes the ocean of grass as the bears come out of the trees to graze. The scene is seemingly tranquil to us humans with the bears spaced out over the landscape, feeding. But there is an unspoken law of the land where the bears live, and survive by, that needs to be understood by us humans before we go further on in this story.
There is a hierarchy on the fields of sedge much the same as on the stream or slope. It can be summed up basically as the largest has the right of way. But there are a few caveats to this basic "king of the hill" structure that you, the bear observer and photographer, need to understand. While the biggest griz is most likely a large male or boar, there are times when it could be a female or sow. And when a sow shows up with cubs, even the biggest boars give them space. So a female with cubs sometimes supercedes the largest in size. The pecking order basically goes from the largest to the smallest with size typically being directly related to age, the older the bigger. And you know what they say about age, the older the wiser. I think this truly relates to the grizzly.
I bet you've heard the warning, "never get between a sow and her cubs." This is generally a very good rule to go by. But getting in between them is not a guaranteed death sentence. I have a good friend who has been in this situation many times, and still walks to tell the tales. The little caveat to this myth is, if you're between the sow and cubs and the cubs bawl, communicating that they feel threatened, the sow will crash through anything in the way to reach her cubs and make them feel safe. If you're in the way, well, you'll be flattened. But if the cubs go about their business and never bawl or express that they feel threatened, the sow will go about her business.
And there are times when you're so close to a family group that the cubs will come right up to you. Cubs are naturally curious about the world around them, just as they are when they become full size bears. You need to understand that this curiosity is how bears survive, learning and finding new food sources amongst other things. When those cubs walk up to you, you need to avoid panicking! You must keep your wits about you, trying to keep from being placed between the curious cubs and their mom. You must keep the cubs from feeling menaced even though they approached you! Moving away from the cubs while talking to them softly as you move is what has been suggested to me as the best course of action when in this situation.
The sedges is one of the best places to first see and photograph spring cubs, which are without a doubt, the cutest and most entertaining creatures on this earth! Photographing the cubs takes a quick hand and sense of humor I think. A quick hand is necessary because cubs are busy little bundles of fur, bouncing about while learning about their world. The cubs that I got to watch were characters! One time while I was fly fishing, a sow with two cubs walked by on the creek bank. (I was fishing in the main channel of the creek.) The family was walking by, watching me while looking for salmon. The family led by the sow crossed a small creek flowing into the one I was fishing. The sow walked across first, followed by the first cub and then the second. As the second cub reached the center of the creek, a salmon must have hit it in the foot because that little cub jumped into the air, bawled and then flew the rest of the distance across the creek to the safety of its mother's side! Oh, I wish I had a camera that moment! I was laughing so hard I lost the salmon I had on my line!
Typically it's the dominant male cub that's the most active it seems, off exploring a squirrel's hole, playing with a salmon carcass or bouncing off the side of mom. That's why I say you need to be quick at hand and have a sense of humor. Being quick, you'll be able to follow the action. Having a sense of humor, you'll be able to anticipate the action, sort of. While we camped in Denali Nat'l Park on another trip this year, we had to sleep in our vehicle one night and not in our tents because we were told that two cubs had taken a liking to bouncing off the sides of tents. They weren't hurting anything, just bouncing off tents like they were trampolines!
When photographing the bears grazing, getting a tack sharp image can be a challenge. For one thing, they are tearing at the sedges like pulling out weeds, more than biting the sedges off at the roots like typical grazers. This action means their heads are constantly in motion. When you focus on the eye, as you should, the jaws and their powerful muscles are right below and in motion. Just after they tear the grass they have a mouthful of sedge, which they seem to then grind slightly in their jaws before swallowing. This causes their facial muscles to tremble as they chew. Photographing the bears while they're eating and capturing a sharp image on a sunny morn or afternoon is a no brainer, but in typical low light situations in Alaska, this can be a real difficult scenario.
This is the reason I bought the 400f2.8 AFS. Being able to work in lower light is a whole lot easier with f2.8 not necessarily because of a faster shutter speed because as in the scenario I just described, in low light there isn't a faster speed fast enough to stop the action. No, rather the "fast" lens permits me to be quick to follow the action as the lens can focus in the lower light and I can see more in the viewfinder. I did note though that in some situations with some of the bears with a near even coat, no lights or darks but all the same shade of color, in lower light situations, the F5 sometimes had a hard time finding focus. The lack of contrast was the problem.
When photographing the grazing bears, first you want to check the wind direction. Not that you have to make any adjustments, but you want to be aware of it because of the bears incredible smelling ability. We watched one bear perhaps half a mile away, down wind of us, run the entire half mile to a salmon carcass lying fifty yards in front of us. There is no way the bear could see the carcass, just us standing there, but it smelled the carcass at that distance and came running (honest, I showered that day!).
The grizzly bear depends on their noses to tell them when other bears, potentially bigger and badder bears are in the area. They use their noses to find food as well as provide them with ideas of where and where not to look. Watching their noses and being aware of the wind, you can have some idea what they are doing and know when to worry about your own back. When shooting bears, I always keep checking behind me every few minutes. I'm not worried about some surprise attack harming me. However, I want to stay aware of a situation where I might all of a sudden be between bears that aren't happy to see each other or a sow just emerging from the forest with her cubs, wanting to fight the big boar that I'm photographing. By shooting with the wind on your back when facing a bear, you can rely on their nose to help tell you when other bears are coming.
The Fisherman
I'm sure you've all seen the image of the grizzly either at McNeil River or Brooks Camp where the griz is standing in a waterfall, catching leaping salmon. This is definitely the most commonly thought of way how grizzlies catch salmon. But if you ask any Alaskan what other waterfalls in Alaska where this occurs, you might hear a list that's mighty short. While it's the most commonly photographed, catching salmon at waterfalls appears to be the least common way that grizzlies fish.
The more common method of fishing for grizzlies is simply along the many thousands of creeks, which salmon migrate up each summer to perpetuate their kind. Salmon can be so thick that they are crammed side by side, tail to head in a creek! The run I saw come in from the ocean this September was a dark cloud in the water, tails and jaws teaming, squirming, fighting and pushing to get upstream. For the fisherman and grizzly alike, this is a sight before eyes!
When it comes to catching the salmon, the grizzlies can use any one of a hundred tactics to catch a salmon. You won't know the tactic the bears you're watching will use until they actually start fishing. They might just jump in, sending salmon and water flying! They might stand on the side of the stream and snare a salmon as it goes by with the delicate touch of the claw of their paw. They might have a favorite rock or small island in the middle of the creek they prefer to stand on like Snoopy on his doghouse, hunched over waiting for a salmon they can grab. They might take a plunge and "swim" about with their heads underwater, looking for salmon to snatch. They might run through the shallows of a creek, chasing salmon in hopes of pinning one under their paw. I even saw one bear in a deep portion of a creek, wade in and fish like a ballerina, nose just above the water line as it felt for salmon with it hind legs. Another tried the same thing, but used its front legs to pin a salmon in its own grasp.
Like I said, there are a lot of different ways that the grizzly bears on these creeks have evolved to catch salmon. A lot of times, they are methods taught to youngsters by their mother and passed down generation to generation. Even fishing sites, holes, times and strategies are passed on by the sow to the cubs! So it only follows that if you want to photograph grizzlies fishing, you've got to find salmon!
The same basic rule of the largest gets their way applies to the fishing holes as well. The best holes are garnered by the biggest and baddest except for the exceptions as mentioned earlier. The difference here is the bears tend to get fuller faster, and so go sleep off their meal, allowing other bears to come and make use of the great hole until the big boys wake up and want to feed some more. Finding the great holes where bears like to hang out is really easy, just look at the tracks in the mud. You'll see where the big boys like to be as their big tracks are really easy to see!
Photographing the fishing bear takes more skill than that of the grazing bear. The reason is the action that's occurring, the bear actively in one form or another, trying to catch a fish. You're also going to have to deal with the water, where all this action is going on. For example, on an overcast day, which is my favorite light to photograph the bears, the water can look rather drab to say the least. And when the griz has that squirmy salmon in its jaw, you'd best have a lot of light for a fast shutter speed to get the eye sharp!
The one technique you ought to be really good at when photographing the fishing bear is panning. They are on the move it seems quite a lot. You've got to be able to pan and fire to capture the really killer images of the bears in action. I would also strongly suggest you have an 80-200f2.8 or similar focal length-f/stop combo hanging on a second body on your shoulder. There are times that they are so close you'll need this focal length to capture the action.
A Thought on Bear Light
The Grizzly Bear got its name because the first ones seen by white man had a "grizzled" look about them. I wouldn't say no two look alike, but they are as different in pelt color as a photographer might desire. And it would seem everyone has his or her favorites. I personally like the slightly darker ones with the grizzled tinge to their coat. But you can have them as dark as sin or so light that they look almost white with every shade and combo in between that your imagination can conjure up. And depending on the pelt, different lighting can make a real difference.
Photographically, I think overcast days in general is the best light for bears the majority of the time. This permits one to take advantage of the natural color contrast inherent in the coat of the griz. All the subtleties can be captured by film, which is the real trick here. As always, I dial in +1/3 stop to brighten up the scene and then go about shooting as normal. The griz has a small eye and in a lighter pelted individual, it's a whole lot easier to see that eye, which is very important so the viewer of the image can make contact. But with darker individuals, those little dark beady eyes can get lost without some sort of directional light striking them. But don't think for a moment that if the sun comes out, I wouldn't photograph the bears.
When the sun is out, you just have to work the bears and the situation to make the most of it. For example, a dark colored bear in the fresh green of spring, on a full sunlit day can be a little contrasty. The same bear in the same grasses but in fall when they have turned tan can be real contrasty. You either look for a lighter colored griz to photograph, hope for a cloud to come by to diffuse the sun, or realize that your film might not be able to hold all the detail. One saving grace is that these bears are in Alaska where the morning and evening light lasts for such a long time. This is one creature that truly looks its best in the light of these times of day.
One of the cool things about the griz is being able to photograph it side or back lit. Their hairs just tend to naturally glow when lit either of these ways, making all sorts of other photographic possibilities possible. You just have to remember that with dark individual bears when lit this way, it will be hard to see their small dark eyes. And seeing the eyes is very important to the success of your image!
Now by no means would I walk up to a griz that I hadn't photographed before and just start firing away! Sharon and I spent hours watching grizzlies in Denali for example, learning their individual behavior and characteristics, watching outside pressures and waiting for them to get close on their own terms before I started to photograph them. I also talked with another photographer who I greatly trust and learned from his experiences as well before taking on these gentle giants. Understanding their basic biology not only kept me safe and permitted the bears to do their thing, but also helped capture the images I desired. You can do the same thing with the same rewards by following these words of advice I've offered here.
I found photographing coastal grizzly bears to be one of the greatest challenges I've faced as a photographer. Capturing great images of the bear eating, running or foraging isn't the challenge. Capturing the size, power, strength of the bear and the grandeur of the grizzly bear's home is the monumental challenge. When you spend any time in its home and walk its path, you get an insight into this creature that I generally don't see in photographs of the griz. After getting over the "wow" factor (and that takes along time when you're so close to these magnificent creatures) and getting down to communicating, this challenge kept me awake at night. That challenge will keep me thinking all winter until I venture to Alaska again, to photograph the coastal grizzly bear!
Want to get in on the challenge? Where I photograph these coastal grizzly bears is open to anyone wanting to take up the challenge! You can't drive there, but must fly in by a small plane and land on a beach. The folks at Silver Salmon Creek Lodge are there waiting when you land to share their incredible slice of Alaska with you. David Corey, the owner and host, is a native with a big smile and desire to share this piece of Alaska with you. Arne, photographer and bear guide expert, will get you safely so close to these bears, you will come back a changed person. You can contact the folks at Silver Salmon Creek Lodge at 907.262.4839. I hope to see you there!

Fight for Two States in Congress
May 3rd, 2010
Congress is already a key political battleground on Israel and the Middle East. Far too often, the pro-Israel, pro-peace perspective gets drowned out by a well-organized, well-funded, vocal minority. Not this time.
A letter circulating right now for signatories on Capitol Hill, led by Reps. Ron Kind (WI-3), Bill Delahunt (MA-10), David Price (NC-4), and Vic Snyder (AR-2), supports the President in his efforts to achieve a two-state solution because it is in the vital national security interests of both the United States and Israel.

Intel Moves to Play Bigger Role in Server Design
Intel market share in chips for servers is even stronger than in personal computers. But there's plenty of threats out there, so the Silicon Valley giant is angling for greater influence in the way such machines are designed.
The evidence will be apparent at a company forum for developers in Beijing this week. Intel is planning not only to introduce faster microprocessors but provide new details of what it calls a "rack-scale architecture," a roadmap of sorts for designing and plugging together servers to manage current Internet-style workloads.
There's plenty of activity in the area. Most computers for big business tasks once were refrigerator-sized machines that had been designed specifically for heavy-duty jobs. In the 1990s, however, companies started trying to save money by stacking boxes that were very similar to complete personal computers, with separate power supplies, disk drives and clusters of cables to connect them together.
That worked for years. But the sheer volume of Web-based computing jobs, and the data they generate, is leading companies to rethink server designs to reduce unnecessary components and save money–and, especially, reduce power consumption.
Web companies like Google took a lead in the field Facebook has also been aggressive lately, pushing an initiative called Open Compute that aims to spur the creation of low-cost modular servers to reduce server cost and complexity.
Intel has supported that effort, appearing along with other companies at an Open Compute event in January. But it has also been doing separate development work on server design.
The chip maker says its work in the area has been influenced by collaboration with some big Web and telecom companies in China–Alibaba, Baidu, Tencent and China Telecom–on what they are calling Project Scorpio. They aim to deliver the design for a rack that lets servers share power supplies, fans and network components.
At the same time, Intel is also making what it calls a "reference design"–a blueprint of sorts–to encourage computer makers to create more efficient systems using an array of Intel technology. Besides its standard Xeon chips–and new low-end Atom chips for applications where simple, power-sipping processors are well-suited–Intel plans to supply communications components that include its silicon-based optical networking technologies.
Doesn't a lot of this duplicate Facebook's Open Compute initiative? That question was put to Lisa Graff, Intel's vice president and general manager of its data center marketing group, during a briefing with reporters last week.
"Facebook is doing what is best for them," Graff said. "It works great for us and for some other companies, but not for everyone."
One difference with the Facebook approach, of course, is that it envisions the use not only of x86-style chips from Intel and Advanced Micro Devices but also chips based on ARM Holdings designs that have become dominant in smartphones and tablets.
"Anything that allows ARM a toehold in Intel's core market is a bad thing," observes Roger Kay, an analyst at Endpoint Technologies Associates.
Hewlett-Packard on Monday also talked up another potential toehold for ARM with low-power servers as part of an effort called Project Moonshot, though systems with Intel Atom chips are slated to be early out of the gate.
Intel, in any case, is planning to offer an ever-widening variety of chip choices for server makers. Other disclosures at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing include a new Atom model for servers, code-named Avoton, which is expected to arrive in the second half of the year and be the first to use Intel's most advanced production technology.
The company is also discussing plans to introduce a new model of its Xeon E3 family–based on a design called Haswell, that draws just 13 watts of power–a 25% improvement. Intel says new versions of its higher-end Xeon E5 and Xeon E7 will be available in the third and fourth quarter, respectively.

World War Z
by Max Brooks
World War Z Theme of Man & the Natural World
Mankind has spent a healthy amount of its history trying to make its place in the natural world a comfortable one. In World War Z, a couple brain-craving zombies show up and undo all that hard, hard work. Like a hurricane or plague, the zombies knock us out of our civilized trappings, forcing us to confront the natural world on a level playing field. To make matters worse, our survival instinct has dulled so much that we're horribly, horribly out of practice dealing with nature in our day-to-day existence. Add to that those zombies we mentioned, and things aren't looking so good for us.
Questions About Man & the Natural World
- When characters enter the natural world, what problems do they find? How do they overcome these problems? What does this suggest about the novel's take on nature?
- Sometimes, the zombies are compared to animals. Why is this? Is it a fair comparison? Why or why not?
- What distinctions does the novel draw between the civilized world and the natural world? Do we see these distinctions break down at any point in the novel? If yes, at what point and why is this important? If not, then why do you suppose they remain distinct?

SANTA CLARA -- Hickory smoke mingled with the smell of slowly roasting meat at Santa Clara's Central Park Saturday, drawing thousands of area residents to the third annual Silicon Valley Barbecue Championships.
The sprawling park had been taken over on Friday by nearly 70 professional and amateur barbecue teams.
They slow-cooked in shifts over night, and by late Saturday morning were putting their first entries into plain Styrofoam boxes that would be opened and scored by judges for appearance, tenderness and taste.
Co-sponsored by the Santa Clara Rotary and the city of Santa Clara, the event is in its third year. Teams compete to make the best pork ribs, pulled pork, chicken thighs and brisket. Proceeds go to the Santa Clara Rotary Club's projects for youth and the needy.
"It's fun for them to travel around" to competitions, said Rotary member "Diamond" Mike Beach. Many competitors have restaurants or catering businesses, or market special sauces and rubs, while a third are retired, he said.
"The secret is patience," said Joshua Regal of Woodside, a professional chef and grill master of the Holy Smokes Barbecue team.
"Let time do its thing," he said. "A good rub helps, but you can't rush it. You can't force good barbecue."
Regal and teammates Eric Spencer, of Redwood City, and Ari Lawrence, of Sunnyvale, were cooking over apple, hickory and oak in a borrowed cylinder of rolled steel with a firebox and three temperature zones.
The crowds arrived at noon.
"It's the smell," said a smiling Doug Drummer of Santa Clara, explaining what drew him back for the third year in a row. Drummer said he plans to enter as a competitor next year.
"I thoroughly enjoy eating," said Stefanie Wong, of San Jose, as she and two friends surveyed the improvised barbecue village.
"I'm trying to get as many of their secrets as possible," said Wong, who does the barbecuing in her family.
The event is sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue Society, so winners get points to compete in larger events.
Garry Howard, of Antioch, an entrant in the professional class with his Smoke Ring team, said he started cooking at 10 p.m. Friday with his wife, Irene. Both are retired software engineers.
"I still do low and slow," said Howard, who moved to Antioch from Santa Fe several years ago to be closer to a daughter and grandchildren.
Darry Smith, of Santa Clara, presided over a phalanx of high-tech Kamodo cooker he sells at his store, Eggs by the Bay.
"We travel the country," he said. "We've been competing for 10 years, including 2010 representing California in a world championship in Lynchburg, Tenn., he said.
His secret?
"A lot of stuff goes into making quality food," he said. "And you have to execute."
Nearby, the "backyard" amateur R&B Barbecue team of Charles Brown and Eric McCarter from San Jose were grilling tri-tip and chicken on a pair of Webers.
Brown and McCarter are drivers for the VTA and friends for two decades. They were on their first competition.
"I believe it's all in your rub," Brown said. "I believe sauce is a coverup."
Ron Sendejas of the RonJohn American Dry Rub team out of Gilroy said his grandmother made her own barbecue sauce, which was an inspiration to him.
"Everybody loved it," he said. When she passed, nobody could duplicate it. I've come close. I wish I would have gotten that recipe."
One of the youngest entrants, Zach Galiste, 16, a high school junior from Manteca, competed last year and took third place in the professional class. He was also named "Rookie of the Year."
Clad in a black T-shirt with "The Kid" in gold letters on it, he said he barbecues every weekend.
But he has no plans to become a chef. "I want to become a firefighter," he said.

Post Office gets m'gage specialists in branches
The head of Post Office Mortgages said the service would support existing telephone and online networks, but would not offer regulated advice.
Customers will be able to find out how much they could borrow and view product features and repayments on screen. Within a few minutes customers can be provided with a printed Approval in Principle or have the opportunity to submit a full mortgage application.
He said the Post Office, which is an appointed representative of Bank of Ireland and also accepts referrals from brokers, was monitoring the outcome of the mortgage market review, which could mean all mortgage advisers are registered and impose new requirements on affordability assessments.
Mr Cook said: "We are adding a service where the customer is asked relevant questions to see what suits them. The customer makes the final choice.
"The MMR results are unknown so we may have to change our model accordingly."
He said the specialists would have a "significant internal qualification".
Dean Mason, principal of Hertfordshire-based Masons Financial, said: "It is great that the Post Office can now offer this face-to-face option but the public must understand these 'specialists' are only giving information to aid the sale of their products, not giving independent or whole of market mortgage advice."
He said it was encouraging that the Post Office would refer customers to advisers where necessary.

Oncogenic Kras mutation is the signature event in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), serving a critical role in tumor initiation. Here, an inducible Kras(G12D)-driven PDAC mouse model establishes that advanced PDAC remains strictly dependent on Kras(G12D) expression. Transcriptome and metabolomic analyses indicate that Kras(G12D) serves a vital role in controlling tumor metabolism through stimulation of glucose uptake and channeling of glucose intermediates into the hexosamine biosynthesis and pentose phosphate pathways (PPP). These studies also reveal that oncogenic Kras promotes ribose biogenesis. Unlike canonical models, we demonstrate that Kras(G12D) drives glycolysis intermediates into the nonoxidative PPP, thereby decoupling ribose biogenesis from NADP/NADPH-mediated redox control. Together, this work provides in vivo mechanistic insights into how oncogenic Kras promotes metabolic reprogramming in native tumors and illuminates potential metabolic targets that can be exploited for therapeutic benefit in PDAC.

A Must Read - Share
"I love being a mom. I feel like life is now complete." Melisande Green, Los Angeles
At age 37, I found out I was expecting and I was thrilled. I had been separated previously from my husband; but at the time, we were back together. Once I knew I was pregnant, I began to feel as if I needed to watch out for my life in a bigger way. The same problems with my husband kept surfacing, so I filed for divorce when I was six weeks pregnant.

text: Deicide's career has been one long roller coaster ride. They helped set the standard of American death metal with their first two albums, then fell into disrepair as stagnation set in. As all this was happening, I was completely oblivious to anything they had done, since death metal still only existed in my periphery. It wasn't until the Deicide that became famous was fractured that I came on board. The resulting album, "The Stench Of Redemption", was a remarkable album, and the shot in the arm the flagging Deicide brand needed.

Jessica Simpson's Dream Green Wedding!
We're at it again... Scouring the web for the best eco-chic elements for pop star Jessica Simpson's marriage to NFL player Eric Johnson. The new mom to baby Maxwell was recently quoted as saying, "Eric inspires me," We love creating our own vision of what celebrity green weddings will entail. Here's to their eco-inspired love!
Jessica Simpson, Eric Johnson, and Maxwell Drew
The Venue:
Jessica and her new family currently reside in Beverly Hills, giving us plenty of fabulous green venues to choose from! Beverly Hills recently increased the amount of eco-friendly businesses and venues, such as The Sebastopol Sanctuary. This venue is set on 8.5 acres and features stunning natural elements: a lavender farm, olive trees, and a pinot noir vineyard. The architectural details of the Bali-inspired structure are the perfect fusion between contemporary and nature inspired.
The Flowers
Succulent Boutonnieres,Cotton Bouquet, Succulent Bouquet
With a dream green venue like Sebastopol Sanctuary, floral arrangements can be kept to a minimum. Jessica's bouquet can be designed from a mixture of cotton, succulents, kale, and kangaroo paw.
The Food:
Pan Seared Golden Seabass on a Bed of Israel Cous Cous with Crispy Capers and Roasted Broccolini
Having been raised in the south, Jessica is a fried Twinkie kinda gal. In lieu of her recent partnering with Weight Watchers to shed her baby weight, a menu balanced with healthy choices would be a better fit. Her fiance Eric is more traditional, favoring meat, starch, and potatoes. A Pan seared seabass on a bed of cous cous is sure to curb his appetite and meet this couple's tastes in the middle. Eco Caters is dedicated to providing the highest quality, handcrafted foods while working to minimize their impact on the environment.
The Dress:
Charlotte by Morgan Boszilkov for her Natural Bridal Collection
Jessica already has a successful line of accessories, shoes, and clothing. We're guessing she was inspired by her own upcoming nuptials because she recently announced she is working on adding a bridal collection to her line. In the meantime, Eco Bridal designer Morgan Boszilkov's Charlotte gown from her Natural Bridals collection is perfect for Simpson's green nuptials! The hemp/silk blend Jacquard halter gown with a floral embellishment also features a full gathered skirt and bust to enhance a petite silhouette and a one foot train.
Ever the trendsetter, Jessica could forego the traditional cake and opt for a buffet dessert table chock full of treats such as macaroons, mini cakes with strawberries, ice cream floats, and cake pops. This is sure to appeal to everyone and may save on leftovers. She could even mix in a few healthier options like sherbert or fresh fruit to satisfy her sweet tooth while still fitting in her new Weight Watcher's lifestyle.
To include Baby Maxwell in the nuptials, what better way to get down the aisle than with a vintage wagon, decorated in succulents and cotton to tie in with her mother's bouquet, giving Maxi a front row seat to her parent's I Do's!

Dozens expected at EPA hearing on Pa. gas drilling
CANONSBURG, Pa. Dozens of people are expected to attend a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency hearing in southwestern Pennsylvania on a controversial natural gas drilling technique called hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking."
Drilling into the rich Marcellus Shale gas reserve below Pennsylvania is growing rapidly.
Fracking is currently exempt from federal regulation, instead governed by various state rules. The EPA is studying its effect on human health and the environment.
The oil and gas industry says it's been safe for decades and is a crucial tool in the nation's energy future.
The EPA will hear public comment on the process in Canonsburg.

Fed Would Stay Open Amid Government Shutdown
AM Report: Government Shutdown Draws Closer
As the battle over the U.S. budget threatens to leave the government without money starting from Friday, there's at least one key agency that would not be affected: the Federal Reserve. But its job may be complicated if other parts of the government close.
Since it doesn't rely on Congressional funds, the U.S. central bank would remain open for business as usual, with normal staffing levels. The Fed would therefore be able to continue with its day-to-day operations, such as buying some $7.0 billion U.S. Treasurys on Monday, April 11. The government bond purchases, due to run until June, are part of the Fed's latest effort to stimulate the economy.
One potential danger for the Fed is that the data it needs to take policy decisions to steer the economy in the right direction may be delayed. That would only be a problem if the shutdown lasts a long time, an unlikely scenario.
Still, during a three-week partial shutdown caused by the budget impasse at the end of 1995 and start of 1996, some key indicators on jobs, prices and spending released by the Labor and Commerce Departments were delayed, creating some headaches at the central bank. Then Vice-Chairman Alan Blinder complained it made it harder for the Fed to set interest rates.
Ahead of the 2012 U.S. presidential elections, a bitter fight is taking place between Republicans and Democrats over the funding for the government over the next six months and a wider plan to reshape government spending for decades. Congress has a way of reaching deals at the last second, but a failure to do so would trigger a partial government shutdown at midnight Friday.

Rhino Reflection
Category: Nature
Photo and caption by Sally Everson
We had been searching for Rhinos all day with trackers and guides. Late in the afternoon we were heading for a sundowner position and as we rounded a corner - there they were were - three magnificent Rhinos drinking, bathed in the late afternoon light and giving us beautiful reflections! Our patience was rewarded!

It was
better to be contrarian than
By Reese Cleghorn Reese Cleghorn is former president of AJR and former dean of the College of Journalism of the University of Maryland.
Certainty can be the biggest trap.
The war could not be won without ground troops. The Serbs had a powerful air defense system; hidden in the early days of the bombing, it would roar after that. We would run out of cruise missiles after the first weeks. The Apaches would go in within hours after their arrival; their fearsome firepower would chase the Serbs out of hiding.
In the absence of reporters on the ground where the Serb army was, and with propaganda machines on both sides rolling, too much was left to commentators trying to fill the open maw of the media.
Were people paying attention anyway?
They were when they saw the streams of miserable refugees, when three Americans were captured, when a stealth fighter crashed and its pilot was rescued, when Serb civilians were interviewed after bombings.
These were personal moments, times when we could easily identify with what was happening because we could identify with human beings we could see. This was mostly television, but sometimes print. These were the things that could be made visual.
It was harder, perhaps, to pay attention to abstract considerations. The chattering class on television gave us too much opinion, with too little information. But we had our choices: one military expert's certainty against another's, one candidate's views against another's. It just didn't add up to much we could be sure of.
In the land of instant chatter about everything, and instant opinions by everyone, being counterintuitive (or is it just counter-instant?) may be our best way to read and to watch.
Most are sure that an air war alone can't win it? Then maybe it can. After all, every war turns the previous one on its ear, if there is enough time between them.
Now what? If we can break another country, bringing an enemy to its knees without suffering casualties, can it be done again? We may think so, and that changes everything. It seemed easy, for us. Of course, there is more to come, and none of the aftermath will be easy.
NATO held together even after it seemed it might come apart, or might wimp out. The left-of-center governments of Britain and France showed tough determination to prevail in this war, ready to back that up. Not so predictable, this. Germany's government might have fallen if German troops had gone into battle, but they were close to that and it didn't.
The American president, he who was said to have lost all moral authority and perhaps all real power as well, led a big alliance in what Vaclav Havel called the first war fought for human rights rather than national interests.
Who got all this right?
Maybe, in our first rough draft of history these days, it's impossible to be sure of anything except the obvious in 10 or so weeks. We know too much and too little too fast.
Of course, there is a distinction to be made. There was a lot of excellent reporting of events, despite the difficulties. Mostly the problem was our eternal confusion about the last war and the compulsive certainty of the commentariat.

Gas prices always seem to be changing...and that means planning trips and balancing your budget can be hard.
Prices here are slightly lower than the average for the Southeast, which is roughly $2.93 a gallon.
That's eight cents cheaper than last week.
But that number can change at any second.
Gas prices can go up and down multiple times throughout the day. And lots of things, from the world economy to local demand, weather conditions, and even local taxes can affect how much you pay for gas.
The CSRA is paying an average of $2.60 for gas, down about 10 cents from last week, but still up from the $1.50 per gallon drivers like Neil Wilson paid back in 2004.
"Once upon a sandwich we paid thirty dollars. Now it's sixty," Neil says.
Greg's Gas Plus manager Angela Hawkins says it's hard to predict what the numbers will do.
"It varies," she says. "Sometime it doesn't change at all...sometimes it's five or six times a day."
The US gets the majority of its crude oil from other countries. But we want more than they can make, and that means prices could continue to climb.
"Oh lord, I remember when it was 65 cents a gallon," recalls driver Zack Mitchell.
"They've gone up a lot of course, that's to be expected," says driver Gloria Wise.
To fill up the tank of our news jeep in North Augusta, it would cost around $30. Over in Augusta, one county over, we'd spend about $35. One possible reason for the difference is local taxes.
Nationwide, the South pays the least amount in taxes, $0.38. The West pays the highest, $0.56.
Locally, South Carolina pays $0.35, and Georgia pays $0.44.
Weather conditions and the success of the individual store can also affect prices.
"It means we got to drive a little less...and these big cars use up an awful lot of gas," says Neil.
As prices continue to change, drivers like Neil Wilson never know what they're going to spend at the pump.
The American Petroleum Institute shows the world economy is getting stronger. Now, other countries, like India and China, need more gasoline.
That means mid-grade and premium are more in demand than they used to be.
Today, the most expensive premium we saw was about $3.00 in Augusta.

Longboat shopping center is bought
Published: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, November 26, 2012 at 7:50 p.m.
LONGBOAT KEY - A Bradenton investor has bought the Whitney Beach shopping center for $3.64 million.
The buyer of the property at 6810 Gulf of Mexico Drive on Longboat Key was Whitney Plaza LLC, a Bradenton company managed by Brian Kenney.
Whitney Plaza JKI LLC, a subsidiary of Juliani Kenney Investment Capital LLC, was the seller.
A previous owner of the plaza, Dawn & Andrew LLC, paid $2.5 million for the largely vacant complex in June 2002 and lost a $4.05 million foreclosure judgment in September 2010.
A month later, the plaza was transferred to Whitney Plaza JKI, and that company assumed responsibility for making payments on a $3.64 million loan from Frontier Capital Group.
Responsibility for repaying that loan has now passed to Kenney's company.

Jan. 26 — To the Editor:
New Hampshire voters, beware! Now that we have officially entered an election year, you are likely to see unprecedented amounts of Big Money coming into our small state to try to influence your vote.
Already, just since the New Year, Americans for Prosperity, a conservative advocacy group organized and financed by the Koch Brothers, billionaire industrialists, has launched a $20 million national ad campaign. No surprise, these ads target Democratic House and Senate candidates who are up for re-election and who voted in support of our new health care reforms. As reported by the New York Times, these ads contain false accusations, misrepresentations and outright lies. If $20 million seems like a large sum of money, keep in mind that this represents only a drop in the bucket of the millions yet to be spent. In 2012 alone, the Koch Brothers network raised $407 million.
Conservative groups such as Americans for Prosperity have not only raised unprecedented amounts of money through corporate donations, but also they have built unrivaled systems of organizational complexity that results in great secrecy. There is virtually no way for citizens like you and me to learn which individuals and corporations gave enormous donations.
While the IRS and several lawmakers are working to initiate efforts to prevent these "social welfare groups" and other tax-sheltered groups from being used as political conduits, their efforts have been met with significant resistance from Republican lawmakers. This is no surprise.
So prepare for an unrivaled media blitz this year, and keep in mind that you can't (and shouldn't) believe everything you hear. Don't let Big Money take away our democracy!

In shocking news
Amber Rose has filed for divorce from husband-of-1-year Wiz Khalifa … and she's gunning for full custody of their kid … TMZ has learned.
In the divorce docs — obtained by TMZ — Amber says they split on Monday and cites irreconcilable differences.
Amber is asking for full legal and physical custody of their 1-year-old son Sebastian. She's willing to give Wiz visjitation.
The docs in the prenup say Amber is entitled to spousal support.
As for why they split, there's been a buzz over the last few days of infidelity Amber's side, but there's no mention of it in the papers.
The two seemed so happy.

Zito superb again but remains winless
The first victory of the season again eluded Barry Zito, who allowed two hits in seven shutout innings Sunday. The left-hander has become the tough-luck starter of the rotation, allowing just three runs in 201/3 innings over his past three starts — all without receiving a decision.
"It's not that important to me, to be honest with you,'' said Zito, who is 0-2 after five starts. "If it was, I'd be frustrated at this point, but I'm not. I feel good about the way I'm throwing the ball, and we've won my last three starts.''
Sunday's game was the second time in three starts that the Giants failed to score while Zito was in the game.
"He's throwing the ball great,'' outfielder Randy Winn said. "It's a shame that we haven't been able to score runs for him.''
Zito attributed much of last season's struggles, which included an 0-8 start, to getting too caught up in results and statistics. He has vowed not to make that mistake again.
"If I keep my focus and go out there every inning and attack the hitters one by one, eventually wins will come,'' Zito said.
"I've been working to try and get it going; it's going to happen sooner or later,'' Burriss said.
"April was a little slow for me,'' joked Holm, who was 0 for 18 in six games with Triple-A Fresno.
"I feel great,'' said Winn, whose sacrifice bunt in the 10th moved Holm into scoring position.

Sandeep Wagle, Founder & MD, APTART Technical Advisory Services, in a chat with ET now, gives his views on cement stocks
Do you like cement stocks, yes, no?
Yes, the patterns are suggesting that there is some more upside in the cement stocks. Ambuja was a stock which we had recommended last week. Grasim has set out now. ACC also has made a pattern. It has broken crucial levels. In fact the monthly pattern of ACC has been extremely positive. During the Muhurat trading we have recommended it for a target of Rs 1400 and I see that unfolding now. So the short term as well as the long term patterns of most of the cement majors are looking very positive. It is a buy on declines in the short term, medium term as well as the long term.
