Mazda's MX-5 Miata Turns 20, Auto Maker Unveils Updated Model
The Mazda MX-5 Miata became the trendsetter for auto makers when it captured a fair share of sales — and drivers' hearts — after it was introduced 20 years ago.
At the time, there were few convertibles on the market and few inexpensive sporty cars with style. The Miata came on the scene and offered a sporty ride and — most importantly — reliability. It recaptured the driving fun that many Baby Boomers had experienced with small British roadsters in the 1960s, but didn't break down or fall apart. It could be used as a station car during the week and then an autocross racer on the weekends.
It was an instant hit with enthusiasts and also drew more casual buyers. Through December 2008, Mazda has sold 857,201 MX-5s. There is a long list of vehicles that were spawned from the success of the Miata, including the Honda S2000, the BMW Z3, the Pontiac Solstice, the Saturn Sky and the Porsche Boxster.
Now Mazda is celebrating the Miata's 20th anniversary (it was introduced in the U.S. in 1989 at the Chicago auto show) with a refresh of the current model, the third generation MX-5 introduced in 2005. The 2.0-liter engine gets a tiny bump in horsepower, some changes to the suspension and some tweaks to the exterior and interior.
A few years back there were concerns that Mazda would either kill the Miata or turn it in to a more serious sports car. But now it appears the MX-5 will live on much as it is for a while. – David Patton

Canadian PM Harper Plans First Trip to Middle East
By Paul Vieira
Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is heading to the Middle East early next year, marking his first official visit to the politically volatile region since he came to power in early 2006.
Mr. Harper, considered one of Israel's staunchest allies in the western world, unveiled his travel plans at a dinner organized by the Jewish National Fund of Toronto, in which the Canadian Prime Minister was honored for his fight against anti-Semitism and his support of the Jewish community.
Mr. Harper's tour will include Israel, Jordan and the West Bank. No other details were made available.
"Our government will continue to take a strong, principled stand internationally, including at the United Nations, on all matters related to Israel and the Middle East," Mr. Harper said in a statement that coincided with a speech delivered at the dinner, in which the cost for a table ran as high as 100,000 Canadian dollars ($94,161).
Proceeds from the dinner will help with the construction of a visitor center, to be named after Mr. Harper, at a bird sanctuary in Israel.
"I look forward to visiting the Middle East early next year to explore ways of strengthening peace and security, stimulating sustainable economic growth, and promoting essential Canadian values, such as tolerance and human rights, across the region."
Mr. Harper enjoys close ties with Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his Conservative government was one of the few to express skepticism on the recent nuclear agreement reached between Iran and world powers, led by the U.S. The Canadian government said regardless of the deal between world powers and Tehran, Ottawa's sanctions against Iran would remain in place. Those sanctions include a total trade ban.

Some dear friends from college recently started a clothing line, k o r o v i l a s, and we had a little trunk show at my house on Friday.
It was a great chance to check out fun new up-and-coming designers, try on their fabulous (made in Los Angeles) wares, sip some wine and catch up with friends.
Since it was a Friday after work, and the focus was all on the dresses, we kept the nibbles super simple … just jazzed up items from the market. I'll do a separate post on my favorite fixes to trick out grocery store apps — super easy (and inexpensive) things we can all keep in our arsenal.
Thank you to all you lovies who came out; Maria, Kristina & Katie — love the line; and if their clothes are new to you, I highly recommend checking it out! www.korovilas.com

Still friendly skiesJuly 8, 2013
I used to pack a smoke hood in my carry-on luggage. I knew that most passengers survive a plane crash on impact, but many die before they can escape the toxic smoking fuselage of an airplane. But I didn't pack a smoke hood for the trip that ended with a safe landing at SFO on Friday.

PAUL TEUTUL SR., founder of Orange County Choppers Holdings, has filed for bankruptcy protection for his merchandising unit, and says he plans to liquidate its assets.
Hudson Valley Merchandising LLC listed $1.12 million in assets and $1.44 million in debts in papers filed Thursday in Poughkeepsie, NY.
The filing is limited to the merchandising business and does not involve the parent company, according to the New York Post.
Under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code a trustee will automatically be appointed to dismantle the company, sell its assets and distribute the proceeds to creditors.
The Teutuls' "American Chopper" reality television show ended its run on the Discovery Channel in December.

MEGA Bloks Lil' Princess is a new construction theme targeted to preschool girls. The blocks in the Lil' Princess building sets feature bright colors and sparkly accents that help kids build and play out royal scenes. The 3-Story Enchanted Castle comes with 20 pieces that kids can use to build a palace for Princess Ivy and her pony, Chestnut. Accessories include two chairs, a table, a mirror, a bed, and food for Chestnut. The set also includes colorful stickers to decorate the castle. There is a spinning platform for Chestnut and a spinning balcony for Ivy so that both can dance the night away. Princess Ivy's tiara pops up whenever she is placed on a block or Chestnut. Chestnut features sparkly removable wings. The set comes with picture instructions on how to build the castle one way and then shows pictures both in the instructions and on the box of other ways to build. Kids can assemble the castle however they want and use this set with other MEGA Bloks Lil' Princess sets, which are sold separately.
The new Lil' Princess line is a fun way for kids, though with a clear emphasis on classic girls' play, to build and imagine. The sparkly blocks are unique and add a touch of whimsy to the line. Kids will like that they can build and rebuild the castle in many different ways, creating their own unique enchanted castle and, of course, all the stories that go along with that.
The MEGA Bloks Lil' Princess 3-Story Enchanted Castle is for ages 1–5.
It took us between 15 and 20 minutes to assemble the castle using the picture instructions provided. No matter how long it takes you to build, remember that building is part of the play.

Demand is up for Planned Parenthood services in L.A.
Abortions count for 3 percent of organization's patient visits
LOS ANGELES ---- It's vasectomy day at the Planned Parenthood health center near the University of Southern California. The lobby is bursting with men, women and children.
In the adjacent administrative offices that used to be part of a garment factory, Monday morning is always hectic, vasectomy day or not. In one of two call centers, about a dozen employees are hunched over telephones, scheduling appointments and providing information. They handle an average of 2,000 calls a day.
Those employees are supposed to move to a larger room soon, reflecting the growing demand here for Planned Parenthood's services ---- up 10 to 15 percent from last year, said Sue Dunlap, the Los Angeles chapter president.
But that move may be put on hold if Congress follows through on a threat to cut off all federal funding for Planned Parenthood, which amounts to $360 million a year nationwide. That money is used to provide family-planning assistance for low-income women, including contraception and testing for sexually transmitted diseases.
Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., sponsored an amendment to eliminate the funding because, he said, Planned Parenthood focuses on providing abortions. Though he acknowledged that the organization provides useful services, he said using government money to help pay for them freed up more funds for abortion services. Laws already prohibit direct federal funding for abortion.
Pence's amendment passed the House in February, but was defeated in the Senate in March. The dispute over the issue contributed to the impasse that threatened to shut down the federal government until a last-minute deal Friday night.
The focus on abortion frustrates Dunlap, who worked for various Planned Parenthood chapters for 13 years before assuming the top job at the Los Angeles affiliate last month. Abortions account for 3 percent of the patient visits to Planned Parenthood clinics nationwide; the most popular services are screenings for breast and cervical cancer, screening and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, and contraception.
"This has been an attack on basic health care," she said.
Roughly one-third of Planned Parenthood's $1.1-billion national budget comes from the federal government, with the balance provided by contributions, bequests and fees for clinic services. Losing $360 million a year would probably mean reducing clinic hours and cuts in some programs, said spokesman Tait Sye.
But, he said, the biggest impact would be felt by clients with Medicaid, because Planned Parenthood would no longer be able to accept that form of payment.
Leaders of several national medical organizations, lawmakers and Planned Parenthood administrators defended the organization at a rally in Washington last week.
More than 30 health-care groups ---- including the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Nurses Association and the National Medical Association ---- have sent letters to Congress in support of continued funding for the organization, and an editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine with the rueful title "Women and Children Last" criticized family-planning budget cuts.
Planned Parenthood health centers support obstetricians and gynecologists by providing care in underserved areas, said Dr. Maureen Phipps, an OB/GYN on the faculty at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.
"People don't understand how vital Planned Parenthood is to preventive services including immunizations, contraceptives, preventive health, STD screening and treatment, cervical cancer screening, screening for high blood pressure," she said. "Those services are often overshadowed by the controversial issues. But this is 90 percent of what Planned Parenthood does."
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., said the majority of Planned Parenthood centers were in medically underserved or rural communities.
"For many women across America, Planned Parenthood health centers are the only place to go for life-saving and preventive care," she said.

How do you know you are connected? What shows up in the output of

So name resolution isn't working - but is that because the file
/etc/nsswitch.conf isn't correct, or /etc/resolv.conf, or because
the routing table (/sbin/route -n) has no (or the incorrect) default
route to the world? Or is it that the connection really isn't there
(/sbin/ifconfig)? Can you ping the IP address 220.127.116.11,
220.127.116.11, or 126.96.36.199 for example (use 'ping -c2 -n

>I've got same result trying it on fresh installation of CentOS 5.2...
Same questions. You might try a traceroute to some remote site (try
'/usr/sbin/traceroute -n 188.8.131.52'). Do the packets go out the
"right" interface? Do they go at least 3 or 4 hops (at least out to
some host _beyond_ your ISP)?

I have a request from someone to make them a kitten and the pattern calls for Dazzle-aire yarn. Does anyone have one skein of white?
Martha, if you haven't found the Dazzle-aire yet, you can substitute it with another brushed acrylic. Lion Brand Wool-ease comes in White Frost which is very similar and is a better product IMHO.

Lavender Pound Cake Recipe
Lavender Pound Cake Notes
This was adapted from a recipe out of Better Homes and Gardens April 2004 issue. Nicole Pizza (wife of one of our managers)made this for an Easter celebration.
- 1/2 cup (1 jar) lavender sugar
- 4 eggs
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon lemon peel
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 3-4 teaspoon lemon juice
Serves / Yields
1 cake
Preparation Instructions
1.Preheat oven to 325 degrees 2.Set out eggs, butter and sour cream at room temperature for 1/2 hour. Do not mix together. 3. Grease Bundt Cake Pan 4. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside. 5.In large bowl mix lavender sugar, granulated sugar,and butter on high, 4 minutes. 6. Blend in one egg at a time on medium for 30 seconds. 7. Add flour mixture and sourcream to butter mixture. Beat on low until combined. 8. Stir in lemon peel. 9. Pour batter into prepared pan. 10. Bake about 45 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick comes out clean (baking time might be longer). 11. Cool cake. 12. In small bowl mix powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Add enough lemon juice to make drizzle consistency. 13. Remove cake from pan and drizzle glaze over cooled cake. 14. Serve with whip cream.
I think next time, I am not going to make the glaze. The cooking time seem to be perfect for my stove and cake. I loved it, my friends loved it, and I am making it for Thanksgiving.
Make it Again? Cherie P. would make this recipe again.
The cake is still baking, I put it in the oven for 35 min 5 min over the recommended baking time. It is no where near done. 325* for 30 min is incorrect. Spicehouse needs to amend the baking time.
Make it Again? Rhonda S. would not make this recipe again.

CDC Healthy Aging Research Network: Addressing the Public Health Needs of Seniors
Healthy Aging Research Network researchers and staff convene at HPRC.
Principal Investigator
Basia Belza, PhD, RN, FAAN
Project Manager
Gwen Moni
One of every five Americans will be 65 years old or older by 2030. It's statistics like this that make the work of the Healthy Aging Research Network timely and important. Older adults need an infrastructure that promotes independence, mobility, and healthy life styles.
The CDC Healthy Aging Program has provided funding for the Healthy Aging Research Network (HAN) since 2001. Through a competitive application process, HPRC was selected to serve as the original Coordinating Center, which continues to this day. The Network is comprised of investigators, faculty, staff, and trainees from the Coordinating Center, seven member and affiliate universities, individual affiliate members from eight non-funded universities, and representatives from a growing number of national partner agencies and organizations.
"Through our partnerships we are better able to leverage expertise, resources, and funding," says Gwen Moni, Research Coordinator for the HAN Coordinating Center as she describes some of the Network's growth. "The Network was originally established to help the CDC identify and deliver on a national public health research and dissemination agenda regarding healthy aging, and we've successfully continued to expand our efforts to promote healthy aging."
Today, the Network conducts community-based research, provides technical assistance to programs and trainings, develops resources and tools, and influences policies to promote healthy aging in diverse settings. A particular focus for the Network is on communities and populations that bear a disproportionate burden of illness and disease.
Basia Belza, PhD, RN, is the principal investigator and lead of the HAN Coordinating Center. "HAN has an incredible collaborative spirit. The unwavering support of and belief in a shared purpose and pursuit of innovation are making an important and long-lasting impact at the intersection of public health and aging."
As the Network expands into other topics, it taps its national network to conduct a systematic scan the environment and identify the gaps and needs of the aging community. For example, the Network's first topic was physical activity, and they found gaps in facility access and programs targeted toward older adults. Older adults and their providers had difficulties locating programs and facilities that met their needs.
Currently the HAN is focusing its efforts on the overarching topics of mobility, fall prevention, brain health, environmental and policy change, and nutrition. HAN investigators are engaged in individual and collaborative projects that involve developing and testing measures, interventions, and dissemination strategies. Some HAN projects are listed below:
- Bringing together experts in the field to develop a national framework on mobility and aging.
- Evaluating the built environment for wayfinding cues (such as signs, landmarks, and lighting) and other elements critical to the mobility of older adults with cognitive changes.
- Summarizing the literature on community wayfinding and developing implications for public health and aging.
- Editing two special issues in the Journal of Aging and Research.
- Providing technical assistance to CDC-funded Special Interest Projects on fall prevention.
- Developing the Community Wayfinding Pocket Assessment Guide, in partnership with Easter Seals Project Action.
HAN was one of the first thematic research networks established through the CDC Prevention Research Centers. Its members and initiatives are regularly recognized for excellence, including the HAN Environmental and Policy Change Clearinghouse recently receiving the Apex Award for Publication Excellence and a paper co-authored by a HAN member being selected as article of the year by the Journal of Health Promotion Practice.
Nancy Whitelaw, from the National Council on Aging, says "HAN is unique in its ability to integrate research on policy, community, and program interventions—ensuring the greatest benefit to all older adults."

Abstract: We tried to highlight an innovative element for a proper understanding of the Economics (macro, actually) on the border with the economic game theory. We speak about the possibilities of home economic adjusting, reshaping and rethinking the managerial system (micro-economic level, or national economies), under the impact of macro-economic environment, or world wide economic impulses and challenges.
The goal is to be flexible on the market conditions and to ensure its own development (for a national economy) and, also, for the entirely economic system.

"It's important that after having such a great feeling with a win over Blackpool to keep momentum going a bit and keep the competitiveness around," boss Danny Wilson told the club's official website.
"It will be a very good test for us because they're a very good footballing side.
"It helps us all round, really. It helps the team out in terms of keeping the momentum going and certainly the boys who haven't played - they will be given the opportunity as well."

Consumer choices not only reflect price and quality preferences but also social and moral values as witnessed in the remarkable growth of the global market for organic and environmentally friendly products. Building on recent research on behavioral priming and moral regulation, we find that mere exposure to green products and the purchase of them lead to markedly different behavioral consequences. In line with the halo associated with green consumerism, people act more altruistically after mere exposure to green than conventional products. However, people act less altruistically and are more likely to cheat and steal after purchasing green products as opposed to conventional products. Together, the studies show that consumption is more tightly connected to our social and ethical behaviors in directions and domains other than previously thought.

Book Report: 'A Game of Character' by Craig Robinson
Just one question about this week's publication of a book by Michelle Obama's big brother, Craig Robinson: What took him so long? After Robinson introduced his sister at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, the family's story has become almost as well-known as Barack Obama's: how a brother and sister grew up on the South Side of Chicago and went on to Princeton, one ending up as head men's basketball coach at Oregon State University and the other as the nation's first lady.
No surprise, then, that there's likely to be a good market for an inspirational title about raising kids and coaching players the Robinson way. But "A Game of Character," out now from Gotham Books, an imprint of Penguin Books, also has a few nuggets for political junkies.
The Mother: President Barack Obama has spoken before about the hesitation that his mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, felt about moving to the White House to help care for granddaughters, Malia and Sasha Obama. In the introduction to her son's book, Mrs. Robinson comments on her new situation: "So far, so good!" She describes how both of her children persuaded her to do it, with Craig selling it as "an opportunity to expand your horizons, to try something new."
First impressions: Craig Robinson, the "keeper of family lore" after his father Fraser Robinson died, tells of the Robinsons' reaction to Obama. "Out of earshot as they approached, Mom said, 'Well, he's tall'… Dad nodded, adding, 'Not a bad-looking guy either'… At the least, I concluded he was the kind of guy my sister wouldn't run over! But no sooner had Michelle and Barack left for their date than Mom and Dad exchanged knowing glances and I let out a sigh. 'Too bad,' Mom said. 'Yep,' Dad and I said in unison. Then my father added, 'She'll eat him alive.' Mom gave the relationship six months to last."
Basketball Try-Out: Craig "auditioned" Barack by playing a game of pickup ball with him. And by the sounds of it, he took that job very seriously, learning: "He had a nice little shot and liked to go to the basket. He played with guts. Interesting. He also knew how to find the open shot. Excellent. Definitely a very left-handed player — not like some lefties who have developed right-handed maneuvers and can even outdo other righties. But Barack used his strengths to compensate for his weaknesses. Self-awareness! The more we played, the more he showed his basketball intelligence — the fact that he had knowledge of the game. He didn't have to constantly score to show he could play. He knew when to pass and when not to pass (even if he preferred going for that open shot). He knew when to cut, when to set a pick, and what to do after the pick… Better still, Barack conformed to the unspoken rules of integrity that apply in these friendly but highly competitive gatherings where there are no refs."
Election Night, 2008: The Robinson and Obama families ate dinner together at the Obama house in Chicago as the polls closed, "all sitting around the table as if we were in my mom's kitchen at home on Euclid Avenue, way back when," Robinson writes. "Mom asked the kids all the usual, curious questions – how was school, what were the teachers like, what were everyone's favorite subjects?… You would never have known there was a national election happening…. As the pace of buzzing picked up on Barack's BlackBerry, he finally stood up and went to turn on the tiny little television set in the kitchen. At that moment, I heard the sound of helicopters overhead, circling over the house… 'Well,' he said, his gaze fixed on the TV screen, 'looks like we're going to win this thing.' Michelle's cell phone rang and she picked up, smiled, turned from the phone to Barack and said, 'Congratulations, Mr. President.'"

Noosa, found on the Sunshine Coast just 85 miles (136 km) to the north of Brisbane, is known for its beautiful beaches, great surf and low key resorts. The Noosa region consists of Noosa Heads, Noosa Junction, Noosa Civic and Noosaville; but the Noosa Heads area contains the main resort section and beaches with notable waves. Just a hop and a skip away, visitors can explore the famous Fraser Island or escape to the lush hinterland.
Water Activities
When figuring out things to do in Noosa, most of the activities are based around the water, and of course planned with heaps of sunshine in mind.
- Surfing: Part of the best surf area in Noosa spans a distance of 7.5 miles (12 km) from Sunshine Beach to the North Shore. Take up surfing lessons at one of the many surf schools in Noosa.
- Kite Surfing: Noosa is well-known for kite surfing, an activity that can be extreme or relaxing in nature.
- Boating: The Noosa River provides the welcome opportunity to hire a boat for a day on the water.
- Cruising: Book a Noosa River cruise and enjoy the scenery as you float to the area's Everglades.
- Scuba Diving: The subtropical waters around the Noosa region mean scuba diving is enjoyable at most times of the year.
- Fishing: With beach fishing and river fishing, Noosa draws in the fishermen crowd year round.
Noosa National Park
For walking paths and a day on your feet, the Noosa National Park offers visitors tracks to stay busy for hours or an entire day. Plus, several beaches are scattered throughout the park, perfect for a relaxing dip. Koala spotting is also a possibility here.
Tewantin National Park
Located just 6 miles (10 km) away from Noosa, Tewantin National Park, overgrown in rainforest and eucalyptus trees, provides another escape from reality when the beaches are not enough.
Hinterland and Australia Zoo
Tours often run on day trips to the Noosa hinterland, and even on to the Australia Zoo – the zoo made famous by croc-wrestling Steve Irwin. The hinterland is home to scenic outlooks, villages and spectacular wildlife.

Nautilus Biotech and Creabilis Therapeutics research on pathologies, including hepatitis B, melanoma, inflammation, and diabetes complications, has found increased biological activity and resistance to proteolysis in vitro of the HMGB1 Box A protein.
HMGB1 (High Mobility Group Box One ) is an abundant nuclear and cytoplasmic protein present in mammalian cells, which, when released, is known to play an important role in the pathogenesis of several diseases. Native HMGB1 Box A, a DNA-binding domain of HMGB1, is a specific antagonist of whole HMGB1 on the RAGE (Receptor for Advanced Glycation End products) receptor. Highly purified native Box A has been shown to successfully protect against sepsis and other RAGE and HMGB1-related diseases in animal models.
Nautilus Biotech and Creabilis Therapeutics entered into collaboration in September 2004 with the aim to develop a druggable variant of native HMBG1 Box A with improved PK/PD characteristics to be used as a direct antagonist of HMGB1 and/or as inhibitor of RAGE.
Using its protein engineering technology, Nautilus Biotech created a series of single amino acid variants of the native Box A protein. Creabilis has now completed testing of all the variants and has shown that a limited number of these have increased biological activity in vitro and greater resistance to proteolysis. Creabilis is now testing these improved molecules in vivo and plans to select the lead molecule for preclinical development in Q1 2007.

I like how you present it as a paradox, and you don't enforce that you have to pick a side between whether a horse is masculine or feminine, but you point out that there is a history. Can you talk about the process of shooting horses in the studio? You have photographs of horses both outdoor and indoor in the book, but it looks like there are also ropes, fans, and significant coloring.
All of the coloring was in post-production. I had fun adding whatever colors I felt like adding. I actually did one shoot of a horse in 2010, just to make sure that I could do it.
I wasn't born a commercial photographer, I was born an artist, and I've been doing art my whole life.
There was this horse, his name is Casey (he was in a Beyoncé video), and he lives in L.A. I did one shoot of Casey in an actual studio, but all of the other studio-looking ones were shot in a studio we built in the horse ring. No one would bring their horse into a studio, because they don't want to bring their prized animals into an environment where they wouldn't be comfortable, or where they might panic and hurt themselves.
So, for all the ones that look like studios, I set up a big piece of white or black fabric in the studio with fences to protect the lighting gear. There were fans for the Casey shoot. For some of the other ones, I was shooting about an hour or two outside of L.A. in this area called Walker's Basin. It's this weird, elevated plain inside of a valley, but it's at a really high altitude. We actually did have fans, but we didn't use them, because it was so windy that the lights kept moving.
The other location shots were taken in Vancouver at Danny Virtue's ranch. Danny Virtue is a big film/horse person, and he just kept making them run around like crazy. It was really hard to follow them and focus while they were running. It's one of the hardest projects that I've done.
Would you consider it harder than Glass Ceiling, where you had to go underwater?
It definitely wasn't easy to be scuba diving and trying to focus the camera underwater, but you realize that you can mostly keep the camera at infinity when you're shooting underwater. You do have to keep focusing, and it can be hard to see when you're wearing a mask and shooting a camera in an underwater housing, but the horses were also really dangerous. I feel like they were more dangerous than the monkeys, bears, lions, and tigers that I've photographed. Horses are prey animals, and most of the other animals that I've shot are predators. If you act mellow with predators, they know that they can kill you, so they are cool, but if you work with prey, they think that you're going to kill them at any moment. Because they are bigger and stronger than you, if they get upset, they can just kick you in the head or trample you.
Did you wear a helmet or any protective gear?
[Laughs] I didn't wear a helmet, because you know, photographers do really stupid things.
You put your life on the line for this book.
Yeah, all of my shoots have been pretty difficult. Trying to get pictures of kids crying or even monkeys…it's all difficult.
What draws you to such controversial subjects? With everything you do, there's a surface level that could be misinterpreted as all there is to understand. Someone could see Horses and think that it's just a collection of pretty painted horses. Do you sometimes feel like these controversial details find you? What gets you so excited about a project that you decide to research it and expose what other people aren't seeing or talking about?
I don't know, I'm just always thinking about things. I have a list of ideas that I want to do for my art series, but I'm always trying to figure out what's going to work. Ever since I was in art school, I would read and get ideas. Sometimes the photograph sparks an idea in me, and I continue in that direction. That happened with the Glass Ceiling series and the monkey series. With the End Times series, I had done images of crying kids quite a few times, but when I saw them in 2006, I remembered that it was something I found really compelling.

UVM students remember fellow student, teammate
BURLINGTON — A University of Vermont student who was found dead in his off-campus apartment is being remembered as a friendly, funny, competitive and offbeat young man.
About 150 people gathered at UVM's Billings Student center on Wednesday to share stories about Jamie Love.
The 20-year-old from Armonk, N.Y., studied engineering and mathematical sciences and ran cross country and track at UVM.
The university said his suite mates called 911 early Sunday morning after they couldn't wake him. Police have found no indication of foul play. The investigation into his death is continuing.
Love's family has planned a memorial service for Saturday at the North Greenwich Congregational Church in Greenwich, Conn. UVM's Catholic Center expects to hold a service on campus at 7 p.m. Tuesday.MORE IN This Just InSARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y.

Back in the Saddle again
You've probably been wondering "where the heck is Moose?" Probably just been wondering were are the blog posts. I came back from PSW with a little bug which laid me flat and bed ridden for a few days. I couldn't find a button on the TV remote let alone type. So, no posts. But I'm vertical again and good timing, we started out Eastern Sierra Adventure today.
We started our day at Mono Lake for a very schweeeet sunrise! It was a great start because it helped the really great group of shooter we have learn that shooting sunrise doesn't mean you have to point your camera to the east. The light as it bounced of the Tufas was as soft as can be and lucky for us, the only clouds for hundreds of miles where in the right place for us. This is my first image from the morning and we're having a short break so wanted to get it up to say I live.
You might be able to see in the image what appears a narrow band of focus. The minimum DOF I started with at Brooks earlier this summer continues to invade my thought process. I like it a lot here. This was shot at f/2.8.
The rest of the morning was great for me. While it's not earth shatering, whenever I think of an obvious solution to a problem for the first time, I pat myself on the back. what was the solution? That will come next post when I have more time.

Sheriff's Office Creates New Program To Lower Agricultural Crime
Farmers are given signs with a number registered to their farm. They put the signs up around the edges of their property. If residents see that cows are on the loose, they can call the sheriff's office, read the numbers on the sign, and the deputies know exactly where to go to address the problem.
"The response time with a cow on the highway is a safety issue for the public, and not only that it's a safety issue for our cattle," said Brad Etheridge, farmer.
Farmers are also encouraged to etch their numbers onto their equipment so that it can be easily identified if it's stolen.
"Seeing those numbers when that equipment pops up I think is gonna help us get onto those things quicker before they get too far from our house," said Etheridge.
The signs are free for farmers. They're paid for with money from the Levy County Drug Forfeiture Fund.

Doreen McElroy wants a bench outside the new Monterey Community Center so people in downtown Monterey will have a place to sit down with neighbors and shoot the breeze.
Her idea was one of several presented Thursday night when more than a dozen concerned Monterey residents gathered to discuss plans for the new center.
"We had lots of very good ideas," McElroy said. "It was a very good meeting and I think everyone was happy with the turnout."
McElroy said she was impressed with the wide range of ideas and the amount of thought people put into what they want the center to be.

"The next day they left and had been gone about 20 minutes when their neighbors noticed a fire," Perry said.
The South Owen Fire Department received the call a little before lunchtime, Perry said.
The fire caused a total loss and two dogs and a rabbit died during the fire, Perry said.

Learn more about SVB 30 Years | 30 Causes
Over the past several months, each SVB office has dedicated time to serve its local community and lend a hand to uplift people and improve valuable places. Our 30 Years|30 Causes campaign is giving our employees in locations around the world an opportunity to put our energy to work for many great causes. In India, a team of thirteen SVBers gathered for an afternoon with the children at the Don Bosco Shelter Home in Mumbai.
The mission of the is to provide a safe and happy environment for deserted children who are living in the streets without a home. The organization – which was formed in Mumbai in 1987 – provides a home for almost 100 boys within the age groups of 10 and 18 in Mumbai and its surrounding cities. In addition to providing basic food and shelter, the shelter is staffed by people who work diligently to empower the children, imparting education and skill-based training to help them rebuild healthy, independent lives. Many of the children are able to return to school and/ or learn a trade while spending time at the Don Bosco Home. The shelter also finds suitable permanent homes for youth, essentially giving them a chance at a more hopeful life.
Our Mumbai team, joined by five teammates from Bangalore, enjoyed working with the children on a number of science and educational projects throughout the afternoon. Between our studies and playing several games of cricket and table tennis, we had an opportunity to talk to the children who were all very friendly and enthusiastic. Even our youngest volunteer – the 9-year old daughter of one our teammates – was glad to have given up a fun activity day at her school to spend time with the children at the shelter.
The presence of Street children is an urban phenomenon all over the world, and India is no exception. In the city of Mumbai alone there are an estimated 200,000 children on the street. All of us at some point have looked at these children as they have approached us at traffic lights and felt a concern for society's indifference toward these kids. The decision to spend time at the Home and get to engage with the kids was something that the team felt strongly about. It was not just a way for us to learn about the challenges the kids face, but also a way to help them make a caring connect with the world around them through projects, discussions and games. We are looking forward to doing this as an annual activity here in India moving forward.
If you're not able to give your time, there are other ways to help the Don Bosco Home continue their mission in India. You can log into their website http://sites.google.com/site/shelterdb/about-us to know more.
