The Remarkable Political Stupidity of the Street
Robert Reich: Wall Street is its own worst enemy. It should have welcomed new financial regulation as a means of restoring public trust. Instead, it's busily shredding new regulations and making the public more distrustful than ever.
The Republican Weapon of Mass Cynicism
Robert Reich: If we can't trust government at a time like this, whom can we trust? Corporations? Wall Street? Bill Gates and Warren Buffett? Or is each of us now simply on our own?
WikiLeaks and Freedom of the Press
Anthony Samad: Government agencies (particularly the FBI and CIA) use leaks to discredit those they don't like or who they see as threats to the public disclosures of government betrayal. Why should the press not be able to do the same when it becomes obvious that government has not been forthcoming in its dealing and has violated the public trust? That's what the WikiLeaks debate is really about.

Liberal Opinion Week
My third-graders tumbled into the classroom, and one child I'd especially been watching for - I need to protect her privacy, so I'll call her Janie - immediately noticed the two poster-size charts I'd hung low on the wall. Still wearing her jacket, she let her backpack drop to the floor and raised one finger to touch her name on the math achievement chart. Slowly, she traced the row of dots representing her scores for each state standard on the latest practice test. Red, red, yellow, red, green, red, red. Janie is a child capable of much drama, but that morning she just lowered her gaze to the floor and shuffled to her chair.
In our test-mired public schools, those charts are known as data walls, and before I caved in and made some for my Northern Virginia classroom last spring, they'd been proliferating in schools across the country - an outgrowth of "data-driven instruction" and the scramble for test scores at all costs. Making data public, say advocates such as Boston Plan for Excellence, instills a "healthy competitive culture." But that's not what I saw in my classroom.

The Supreme Court has unanimously held that your right to a speedy trial doesn't cover a 14-month delay after conviction and before sentencing -- because after conviction, the trial is over. To reach this formalistic conclusion, the court had to invent a new legal category -- the "criminal justice process" -- and break it into three separate parts. But although the holding seems wrong to me, there's still a ray of hope for defendants who sit around waiting for sentencing: The justices left open the possibility that a different part of the Constitution might afford relief in a future case.
Given the issue in the case, there's some irony in the fact that the court turned around the decision in the case, Betterman v. Montana, at lightning speed. The justices heard oral argument in the case on March 28 -- a turnaround of less than two months.
But the speed did petitioner Brandon Betterman no favors. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote for a unanimous court that the Sixth Amendment's guarantee didn't apply to anything that happens after conviction.
As an emergency-room nurse in southwest Wisconsin, I sometimes received patients who had been sexually assaulted -- and I was expected to help conduct an exam to collect and preserve DNA evidence, though I didn't have the appropriate training. I would try to make sense out of the rape kit: a cardboard box packed with numerous envelopes holding a mess of long-handled swabs and slides. Instructions were printed on both sides of a sheet in type so small I could barely read it. Often, the doctor on call was as uncertain about what to do as I was and had only 10 or 15 minutes before needing to return to other emergency department duties. I felt inadequate to meet my patients' needs. And I was always worried: "What if I mess something up in the rape kit and ruin her court case?"
The road to medical understanding is pitted with confounding news headlines. Take one last week warning that women exposed to too much of the ubiquitous vitamins folate and B-12 during pregnancy face an increased risk of having an autistic child.
The research, out of Johns Hopkins University, is part of a quest to unravel the causes of autism. The provocative folate finding is a valuable clue, but the way the university publicized it was not useful and potentially dangerous.
For years, doctors have been urging women who are even thinking about getting pregnant to take folate in the form of folic acid supplements. In the United States, flour and other foods are fortified with folic acid as well. Getting too little is associated with serious and sometimes fatal birth defects. Furthermore, earlier studies showed that too little folate increased the risk for autism.
Making matters more complicated, blood levels of folate depend on genes that influence folate metabolism.
Last weekend, the New York Times detailed Donald Trump's misogynistic treatment of numerous women. Criticism was immediate.
Trump's defenders got a boost Monday from Rowanne Brewer Lane, whose story about meeting Trump at a pool party at his Palm Beach, Florida, resort was featured in the first few paragraphs of the article. She'd told the Times about how Trump asked her to change into a bikini and then paraded her in front of other guests, but on "Fox and Friends," she disputed the reporters' characterization of this as "debasing."
"[H]e never made me feel like I was being demeaned in any way. He never offended me in any way," she told the network, and went on to call Trump a gentleman.
Case closed as far as the Trump camp is concerned. "She clearly doesn't feel like she was debased. So they have inserted their own opinion of how she felt, which is crazy," senior adviser Barry Bennett told Politico.
Perhaps the most frustrating question about Donald Trump's political success is why people keep voting for him even though his statements often don't withstand the most basic fact-checking. And it's not just Trump: The Austrian presidential candidate Norbert Hofer appears to be successful in convincing voters that he's a moderate, conciliatory candidate though the press has written extensively about his history of extreme nationalist statements and leanings.
Why are people so unwilling to accept factual rebuttals? Is it that, as Farhad Manjoo wrote in "True Enough: Learning to Live in a Post-Fact Society," "the creeping partisanship has begun to distort our very perceptions about what is 'real' and what isn't"?
If Bernie Sanders and his supporters complained about other things the way they complain about the fairness of the Democratic presidential primary process:
Chess: This game is rigged. The pawns get to move almost NOWHERE, whereas the QUEEN (DETECT ANY RESEMBLANCE HERE???) can just move wherever she likes with no apparent rhyme or reason. She's not a bishop or a rook. Why does she move like one? Also, the black pieces have to move second, which is TOTALLY unfair and needs to be looked into, unless I am playing with the white pieces today.
Scrabble: I played exactly the same word as my opponent, using exactly the same letters, and received fewer points for it -- just because I wasn't on some pink square, which my opponent claimed gave you DOUBLE the points. Pretty sure that's the definition of rigged. Why would you just randomly have squares all over the board that counted for MORE or FEWER points when it's just the same words? Also my opponent had two BLANK tiles, which just got to be WHATEVER letters she wanted. This seems made-up. Milton Bradley are shills who are trying to prevent the revolution. Also, "BERN" is totally a word.
In the wake of a mini-protest of Bernie Sanders supporters against the Nevada Democratic Party at its state convention in Las Vegas last weekend, Hillary Clinton in a CNN interview has essentially called on Sanders to rein them in.
The protesters had engaged in some minor violence in a fight over delegate allocation to the July national party convention, reportedly throwing chairs and making personal threats against the state party chairwoman.
Both sides overreacted, a reflection of the kind of tension that mounts as a presidential nomination nears its conclusion after months of intense competition. Clinton backers, including Democratic National Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, called on both sides to cool their tempers, and President Obama through his press secretary has echoed her, saying he expected all parties to adhere to nonviolent behavior.
A still-feisty Sanders, noting his recent string of state primary victories, called any criticism of his troops "nonsense" and vowed to press on to the end of the primary calendar next month, which includes delegate rich primaries in California and New Jersey.
If Hillary Clinton wins in November, Bill Clinton will occupy a doubly unique role in U.S. political history — not just as the first First Husband, but also as the first First Spouse who used to be president. Obviously he won't spend his time baking cookies. So what will he do?
Last week Hillary Clinton stirred up a flurry of comments by suggesting that Bill Clinton would be "in charge of revitalizing the economy." You can see why she might want to say that, since people still remember the good times that prevailed when he was in office. How his role might be defined in practice is much less clear.
But never mind. What I want to do right now is talk about the lessons the Clinton I boom actually holds for a potential Clinton II administration.
Well, that's a relief. It turns out that Native Americans are not offended by the name of Washington's football team after all.
You know, the Redskins.
A new Washington Post poll finds nine out of 10 Native Americans say they are not offended by the Washington Redskins name. That, the Post tells us, is a sign of "how few ordinary Indians" -- instead of, you know, those inflammatory identity-politics activist types -- "have been persuaded by a national movement to change the football team's moniker."
Actually "how few" is how I would describe the number of people surveyed. But that doesn't mean the poll wasn't scientific.
The five-month survey of 504 people, according to the Post, includes every state and the district.
It also agrees with a 2004 poll by the Annenberg Public Policy Center, the Post notes, and the responses were "broadly consistent" regardless of age, income, education, political party or proximity to reservations.

Four Doesn't Quite Add Up
With its glum, suburban Fourth of July setting, Four aches be a tragedy about identity crisis in America (young homosexuals terrified to come out, black girls teased for seeming too white). But the film, adapted by director Joshua Sanchez from Christopher Shinn's 2002 play, never achieves its intended weightiness. It's merely about two lustful yet gentle adult predators who know what they want, and their younger, more reticent prey, who don't. Straying husband Joe (The Wire's Wendell Pierce), who's secretly gay, tries in vain to loosen up fiercely closeted teenager June (Emory Cohen), whom he met on the Internet. That Joe's wife in an invalid, and his frequent straying leaves her in the care of his adolescent daughter, Abigayle (Aja Naomi King), gives him no shame. Joe wants to imbue June with the same confidence, but June's fear proves impenetrable. Meanwhile, across town, the equally indecisive Abigayle alternately flirts with and mocks a happy-go-lucky half-white, half-Latino lothario (E.J. Bonilla). Sanchez knows how to stir up sexual tension—the jittery camera burrows with simultaneous relish and trepidation into the sweaty faces of the film's two seducers, and he manages a fairly erotic cross-cutting sex sequence. There's a wrenching moment or two (particularly Joe's soliloquy about how the AIDS epidemic inadvertently united gay men). But Four ultimately fails to link its two stories with any trenchancy, mainly because June and Abigayle register as angry, taciturn blanks; they're never remotely as interesting as their pursuers. The more Four strives for thematic resonance, the smaller it becomes.

Exhibitions and plays
I have been catching up with what's been on in London in the past year and the following have made lasting impressions.
Alexander Calder at Tate Modern…………..a genius engineer/designer/artist/sculptor……….Fabulously curated exhibition.
History of Nothing at the White Cube in Bermondsey, curated by Hannah Gruy. This group show, largely of installations, is an abstract homage to anti consumerism in the modern world.
Delacroix and the origin of modern painting. This largely for the last painting in the exhibition…………..a Kandinsky "Study for Innovation V" painted in 1910. The exhibition took one on the journey that ended where Kandinsky began.
Modern British Abstract Art at Waterhouse and Dodd; a survey of some of the main artists of the last 50+ years.
I did not like the Ai Wei Wei as I think he has become the story rather than his art and his hypocricy shows through all too evidentially.
I also liked the Morandi at the Estorick, Hoyland at Damien Hirst's and the Giorgione at the RA
I saw two outstanding pieces of drama in the winter, among many others,…A Girl is a Half Formed Thing at the Young Vic. A dramatic, one person tour de force written by Eimear McBride and acted by Aoire Duffin. See it where ever you can but don't read the book first…….it won't mean anything, the play's the thing.
The second piece was Simon McBirney's masterpeice for Complicite at the Barbican…… The Encounter. A true story using every one of our senses and some very hi tech to capture you…………Amazing.
I am looking forward to the British Abstract show at Tate Modern soon and the Botticelli at the V and A.

1UP: So basically there will be a total of five difficulty settings: Ninja Dog, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, and Master Ninja?
TI: Exactly. In fact, the difficulty levels from Hard upward will have the placement and combinations of enemies changing continuously. The essence of Ninja Gaiden's fun factor is Ryu's speedy and precise actions, the superb AI pathways of the enemy characters, and the combined enemy attacks. In other words, increasing the number of difficulty settings means we've increased fun factor exponentially. All the Master Ninjas out there should understand what I'm talking about.
1UP: Yes, I see. What else is new? Are there any new story elements, for instance?
TI: The story of Ninja Gaiden is complete. Anything we would try to add would just get in the way. We are adding a certain number of new real-time rendered cutscenes, but not to add to the plot. I just wanted to see Ayane a bit more [laughs].
1UP: Many people are probably wondering if Rachel be playable in Ninja Gaiden Black.
TI: As I have said on many occasions since I was working on the original game, I have no intention of making the female characters playable in Ninja Gaiden. That goes for Black as well. Capcom often practices that style of game design, though, so I understand why people might expect it.
1UP: Speaking of Capcom, they recently announced Onimusha Dawn of Dreams, and former Capcom developer Yoshiki Okamoto is making Genji, which is ironically quite like Onimusha. What do you think of this?
TI: That's the civil war you're talking about, right? I won't tell them to kiss and make up, but to fight without choosing your opponent wisely is to waste your life. No else seems particularly concerned with their quarrel, or with who wins or who loses [laughs].
As far as the quality of the games, I like Onimusha. I won't say that the control system is the best in the world, but even considering that I think it is a fun game that has value. In fact, I finished both Onimusha 1 and 2. Onimusha 3 came out when I was too damned busy working on Ninja Gaiden and unfortunately I never finished it. I think Onimusha is a game that has definitely influenced the "hack-and-slash" action genre.
1UP: How about Genji?
TI: I haven't played it so I can't say. From what I've heard, the main concept is "an action game that anyone can beat." That's something I would never come up with in a million years, even if I were standing on my head [laughs].
1UP: What do you think of the Dynasty Warriors series?
TI: As a real man, I find no feeling of achievement in beating up millions of defenseless enemies. As for my opinion as a gamer, my free time is too valuable to spend it hacking away at an endless stream of dumb-as-a-brick opponents.
1UP: What about games like Spikeout for the Xbox? Same platform as Ninja Gaiden, but nowhere near the same level of quality.
TI: If I remember correctly that was the game that was next to DOA2 in the arcades. I haven't played it on the home systems. My only impression of it is that it sure took a while for it to get ported to a home console.
1UP: Ahem...Nina: Death by Degrees?
TI: Not even worth discussing.
1UP: Pretty tolerant attitude coming from you.
Ti: You think so? Didn't I just say not to throw your life away?
1UP: Ok, then I'll ask you straight up: are there any current Japanese action games whose achievements that you are willing to recognize?
TI: I'm not sure why you're limiting the discussion to Japan, but let me think...hmmm...this is a difficult question. If you are talking about Western games then I would say Prince of Persia is doing pretty well. In Japan? Hmmm...Devil May Cry 3 wasn't that bad, right?

The I-5 Whilamut Passage Bridge over the Willamette River was recently completed, and will reduce congestion and improve freight movement through the critical corridor.
The new northbound bridge will open to traffic in mid-August, nearly four months ahead of schedule. The cost of both the northbound and southbound bridges is $204 million and includes $30.3 million in federal funds.
The northbound bridge will join the southbound bridge, which opened in 2011 and supports 60,000 vehicles in the Eugene-Springfield area traveling on I-5 each day, of which almost 20% are trucks. The number of vehicles using I-5 in the area each day is predicted to surpass 100,000 by 2040.
The new bridge is flanked by Alton Baker Park and the Whilamut Natural Area, and the project features landscaping and park improvements scheduled to be completed by December 2013. Enhanced bike and pedestrian amenities are slated for completion in 2014.
The two bridges are 67 feet wide, and will carry two lanes of traffic in each direction. There is ample width to re-stripe the bridge for three lanes in each direction if and when traffic volumes warrent. The deck-arch bridges are 1,984.8 feet long and stand 63 feet above the water.

Robin Williams, manic comedy star, dead at 63
SAN FRANCISCO -- Robin Williams, the Academy Award winner and comic supernova whose explosions of pop culture riffs and impressions dazzled audiences for decades and made him a gleamy-eyed laureate for the Information Age, died Monday in an apparent suicide. He was 63.
Williams was pronounced dead at his home in California on Monday, according to the sheriff's office in Marin County, north of San Francisco. The sheriff's office said a preliminary investigation shows the cause of death to be a suicide due to asphyxia.
"This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am utterly heartbroken," said Williams' wife, Susan Schneider.
Williams had been battling severe depression, said Mara Buxbaum, his press representative.
From his breakthrough in the late 1970s as the alien in the hit TV show "Mork and Mindy," through his standup act and such films as "Good Morning, Vietnam," Williams ranted and shouted as if just sprung from solitary confinement.
He was a riot in drag in "Mrs. Doubtfire." He won his Academy Award in a rare, but equally intense dramatic role, as a teacher in 1997's "Good Will Hunting."

Reality show on top despite lower ratings
Fox's "So You Think You Can Dance" came in a bit below average on Wednesday, but it was still enough to easily deliver the night's top demo score.
On an overall quiet night for the broadcast nets, "Dance" averaged a hearty 3.2 rating/10 share in adults 18-49 and 8.7 million viewers overall from 8 to 10 p.m., climbing in rating with each half-hour. It helped Fox win the night by 4 shares in adults 18-49 over NBC and Univision.
NBC was down a bit week to week with "Deal or No Deal" (2.1/7 in 18-49, 8.2 million viewers overall) and "Celebrity Circus" (2.0/6 in 18-49, 6.7 million viewers overall), with the latter first-year show narrowly winning the 10 o'clock hour among young adults.
ABC was consistent throughout with repeats of "Wife Swap" (1.7/6 in 18-49, 4.5 million viewers overall), "Supernanny" (1.7/5 in 18-49, 4.5 million viewers overall) and a second, special "Supernanny" to close out the night (1.7/5 in 18-49, 4.3 million viewers overall). Net was up week to week, gaining considerable ground at 10 o'clock by substituting the second "Supernanny" for drama "Men in Trees," which ended its run a week ago.
CBS started sluggishly with a repeat of "The Price Is Right" (1.2/4 in 18-49, 5.7 million viewers overall), before picking it up with repeats of "Criminal Minds" (1.7/5 in 18-49, 7.2 million viewers overall) and "CSI: NY" (1.9/6 in 18-49, 8.0 million viewers overall).
At CW, "Farmer Wants a Wife" (0.9/3 in 18-49, 2.3 million viewers overall) continues to put up decent numbers — especially considering the network's low profile during the summer and its incompatible lead-in from a repeat of "America's Next Top Model" (0.5/2 in 18-49, 1.3 million viewers overall).
Preliminary 18-49 averages for the night: Fox, 3.2/10; NBC, 2.1/6; Univision, 1.9/6; ABC, 1.7/5; CBS, 1.6/5; CW, 0.7/2.
In total viewers: Fox, 8.7 million; NBC, 7.0 million; CBS, 6.9 million; Univision, 4.6 million; ABC, 4.5 million; CW, 1.8 million.

EARTH CITY, Mo. -- If the St. Louis Rams projected starting offensive line can stay healthy, it has the talent and experience to be among the league's best.
The only problem is that the size of that "if" isn't done much justice in this font size. This is the next verse, same as the first when it comes to the Rams' offensive line. From left to right, the line has established Pro Bowlers and potential future Pro Bowlers. It also has an injury history that makes betting big on that group to stay together for 16 games a risky proposition.
About a week and a half into this training camp, the Rams are starting to get the projected pieces in place. Left tackle Jake Long and center Scott Wells returned to team drills last week as they recover from offseason knee surgery and an illness, respectively. Long and Wells form the experienced heartbeat of the line, the two most experience players upfront and two of the team's most veteran leaders in general.
Long is still slowly working his way into getting more reps but appears on track to play in some preseason games and be ready to start the season. Wells' return has been more accelerated as he's getting plenty of work in team drills.
Having Long and Wells back is a welcome sight for quarterback Sam Bradford and an added help to rookie left guard Greg Robinson.
"When Jake and Scotty are in the huddle, they just provide a ton of that veteran leadership on that line, especially with Greg in there," Bradford said. "I think having those two guys around him just helps him as far as communication goes so it's really important for those guys to start jelling too. So the more we can get them on the field together, I think the better we're going to be."
Of course, no sooner did the Rams get Long and Wells back in the mix than right guard Rodger Saffold suffered an apparent stinger that has kept him out the past couple of practices. Such is the way things seem to go for this group.
The good news is that Saffold's latest issue doesn't seem serious and he should be back soon enough. The bad news is that Saffold having injury issues is nothing new. The same can be said of Wells and Long. That trio has combined to miss a total of 37 games over the past three seasons because of various ailments.
The Rams committed serious draft capital and dollars to the line in the offseason. They spent the No. 2 overall pick on Robinson, signed Saffold to a lucrative long-term deal and added veteran guard Davin Joseph on a one-year deal. Robinson and Saffold provide strong insurance in case anything happens to Long or right tackle Joe Barksdale.
Before Long returned and even now as he's working his way back into the mix, the Rams have taken the opportunity to get Robinson and Saffold some work at left tackle with Joseph filling in at guard.
"Well, that's the big thing," offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer said. "We're going to move guys around. Again, we're trying to create competition, putting Greg in different spots, Rodger in different spots .... They've been working hard. The communication now is so much easier for them. We make adjustments, they make adjustments, make calls. That just comes from playing together."
Which brings us back to the original question of just how much that group will play together. Aside from Joseph, only backup center Tim Barnes has any sort of meaningful game experience and even that is limited to four starts last season. Offensive line coach Paul Boudreau is adept at getting a lot from a little but if the Rams' line breaks out in another rash of injuries, it could easily derail their hopes of a breakthrough season.
"I think we're coming together real well," Long said. "Especially in practice against this defensive line it makes us better every single day. Getting Davin, a veteran who has been to the Pro Bowl and is a great player, he's doing a great job out there. We have been working hard and just pushing each other and it's coming along good."
For this group, coming together isn't the issue. Staying together is.

Jim: So everyone who's watching this knows that there's a lot that you can do, in software at your computer, with the photos that you've taken. Does that affect the way you shoot? If so, how? Male: Absolutely, I mean this is I think that if you don't understand what you can do in post-processing with, if you're, if you're not familiar with that, you really restrict your, your shooting ability. Now again, everybody has a different opinion about this. There's just purists out there who really believe that you know, once you snap the shutter and that, that picture is sacred.
They don't crop it. You know, they take it out and just, it is what it is, and that's that. That philosophy is totally valid, and, and it's great for some people. It doesn't work for me. I'm one of these people, when I look at something, I don't see it for what it is. I see it for what it can become. you know, this idea that, that there's something, I know what, what I can do to it. If I, if I want to. So I'm shooting knowing that a, I can turn it into a gray-scale black and white picture.
if, if the color, if it's, if the colors are just not working for me for some reason. No problem in my mind you know, click, it's, I can do that in my mind because I know that what my software does. Just like I know the capabilities of my camera. I know what f stops do. I know what shutter speeds do. I know what changing the ISO does, changing the focal length. These are all things that are, they come natural to, to me. I've worked so long with that camera that I don't even think about it any more, and I've worked long enough now with software and processing to do the same thing.
So it's just natural for me to, to kind of assume, you know, white balance, okay, don't worry, fix it later. even, even some objects that are, you know, maybe interfering with the picture power lines, or something like that. I know I can get rid of those, you know. blemishes in faces. Things like that I'm not saying that I always do that, but I, but I don't worry about it too much. I'm not so worried about certain things. Now, other things, I am. sharpness is one thing you can control sharpness later, in post-processing.
There's no question. It's mostly, kind of, it's a sleight of hand, you're increasing contrast. so, there's really, it's really hard if you're not in focus to get a really sharp picture. So that's one thing that I paid very close attention to, I always do. Exposure though, because, I'm shooting raw, and I know raw has a lot of latitude when I work with it in the software. I'm not so precise. I don't have to be as precise. That's just the way I am.
so, those kind of things, I mean, you just have to trying to think of something. Cropping, obviously I know I can crop later if I, if it's easy to do if I have enough pixels if, you know, to begin with. So, it's just, it's just kind of in my repertoire now. It's, it's a tool. It's part of my process, and I advocate. Er, everybody, you know, everybody's different, Jim. And, and not everybody wants to spend all the time that I have in learning post processing. I respect that, that's fine but I think ultimately it has made me a better photo, photographer.
That's my impression/g. Jim: When you mentioned cropping and I have noticed as we've been working together this last couple of weeks, some of the photos even taken are. Are cropping very non standard ways, you're not a, you're not a slave to the aspect ratio that comes out of the camera, and I think that leads to some interesting compositional opportunities. Male: That's true, I do look at pictures sometime because I have an, I know some of the rules of composition. Right, and, there's just some times when I look at a picture in the computer, on the screen, and I say, oh, you know, I really, I can create more dynamic tension if I crop it this way, as apposed to, you know, leaving it at it's, at it's native aspect ratio.
And suddenly by doing that. I've done this with a few pictures. And I have a picture of my daughter I shot in a, in a, god where was it? In a restaurant in Helsinki. And you, you don't know this when you see my final picture. It looks like something, like, of a mirror portrait. But, it was shot with a wide angle lens. So there's people on either side of her. But, I took it and I cropped it straight down, you know, so that she's, it, it's a, it, the aspect ratio was more, it was like 16:9, or something like that. And, I don't know what compelled me to do that, but I did that, and it's actually one of my favorite portraits I've ever made, just because I just, I didn't, I wasn't restricted.
By what I had there, and I just went, whoa! And it worked, it worked from a compositional point of view, it worked from lighting, everything. so I just, I'm open. You know what? I'm just open, and there's no. And nowadays, when you're displaying your images on the web, and you're displaying them, you know, electronically, a lot of times it doesn't, it doesn't matter so much. you, you, it doesn't have to fill the screen, it can, it can be these strange aspect ratios.
No reason why you can't. Jim: Do you tend to find yourself shooting more landscape orientation, portrait orientation? I know some photographers have to kind of, now and then mentally remind themselves. Tilt the camera 90 or do you just kind of as it really subject appendant? Male: You know, I come from the news. I, I started out as a newspaper photographer. So I, I'm, I was trained by Cordiant Clark, Bill Owens, I mean some of the, some of the, some of the people I really respect. That, and I it was just knocked into my head.
You don't come back with a picture that's just one orientation. You come back with two orientations, so. I didn't think about it now. I get the shot in one orientation, I get it in vertical. Even though to my eyes, it looks like it should be just a, a, a, a, a portrait layout, orientation. I shoot it this way, you know why? Because when your shooting for news paper and magazine, sometimes the art director wants some room on either side. So, the, you know, in those days, you know, you couldn't really just, you know, extend edges like you can now with Photoshop.
But so it's just ingrained in me. and and I, and I also, when I'm shooting portraits, I just think of portraits as as in the portrait orientation. But then again, I, I, you know, because everybody's different shooting. I know some really good portrait photographers that just, they, they shoot in the landscape orientations. And then, there's some that shoot the the Hasselblad, the, the square orientation. Even while they're shooting digital cameras, they, they set that, that, they want that the aspect ration because that's what the hostile what, was, and is.
And they're just comfortable with the square. With the, you know? That aspect ratio and it's what you're comfortable with. You know? With, with ultimately, really. Jim: Okay, so I'm back home, I've called my best shots. And I've post processed them. What kinds of sharing options do I have with respect to travel photography that go beyond the days when I put 80 slides in a tray? Male: Ooh. It, it's such a relief now. Oh, listen to me. In the old days, oh, listen to me, your options were really limited.
Really limited. You, you got those pictures you either sold them to a, a, you know, a magazine or a newspaper. you know, I was often times on assignment, so I knew where they would go, it was, there was a home for them already. but, there weren't that many options. There weren't that many places you could share the pictures. So it was either in magazine or newspaper for me it was always, they always kind of ended up in books as well because I love books and but it, it now a days the options are just unsung, this is a really exciting time for a photographer.
Really exciting. Some doors have closed we don't get the big buck assignments anymore. You know? I don't get travel first class to Tokyo like I used to. to go shoot assignments. you know the junkets are gone, the, the hotels that would meet me with the, my name stenciled or, or monogramed on a, on fabric. You know? Or match boxes with my name. Those days are gone. I'm glad I got to experience that a little bit. But what I don't miss is the restriction of my work, because, now there's so many options.
I can put my images up on, on Facebook, right away, and I'll do this. I have no problem throwing pictures up, right away, on Facebook in, in, the middle of a shoot. And getting a response. I love the feedback I get from people. I love that immediately, you know, hundreds of people see my pictures and make a comment about it. you know, people do that on flickr too. I mean, there's, there's lots of ways you can share your pictures socially, and get feedback. I mean, you're not going to get any money out of it. You're not, you're not making money. But there are also more ways of making money too.
Now you're not going to necessarily get the big bucks, although we never really ever got the big bucks. That was, we got the big perks, is what we got. but, but nowadays like I'm publishing ebooks. And sell them, you could sell them for 5.99, 8.99 Electronically on the, on the, on the Amazon, or, or through the Apple Ibook sites or through Barnes and Noble. And I don't have to put out all the money for printing. It's, you know? Their, their sold for me. So, this is a great way to, to share your work and get it out in the world.
And make some money, right? Which ultimately is not bad, as you, you know would like to be able to, pay for some of these equipment. Jim: (LAUGH) option to get other forms of media in there too. Male: And that opens up your shooting too. No longer you're restricted by the still image, I love time lapse. You can, now we can make time lapse images and take, turn them into little QuickTime videos. And put, embed those into these e-books. There's all kinds of things you can do with the image.
You can add sound. I just did a book for it was, it was an Ibook, a Ipad book. And I, I could embed when you clicked on a little icon next to the picture, it would play music. And so I would get a, a sound effect that would go with the picture. And that's really, I love putting sound and pictures together. But you can do that all on these on these iBooks. Jim: So clearly another insight would be when you're off shooting somewhere, grab some video, grab some sound.
Male: yeah, yeah, get a train, get a train, or you know, a boat, a boat whistle, or, or, you know, get these little sounds, little snippets of sound, you know, you don't, you don't need to use the video part. And then, that would then be associated with your still picture. All kinds of things. It's really excit, It's a really exciting time right now! And I'm, I'm so thrilled to be you know? Involved and still working and, and, and, and it's, it's just, it's great. (LAUGH) Jim: Mike Lowland it has been a pleasure sharing this San Francisco sunset with you.
Male: Jim: Thanks so much for sharing your insights on travel photography and we look forward to getting more of them elsewhere here on Monday.com. Male: Thanks Jim.

And I second that to the SCE$G folks, great work in a difficult situation.
We have some in our family & they are dedicated workers...thanks to all workers in every department--firemen-police-tel-gas-restaurant-many many thanks.
They're great people... not sure about heroes though.. not for doing their jobs. I'm sure went above & beyond what's required though

The famed Ground Zero Cross won't be removed from The National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum for now.
The U.S. 2nd Court of Appeal rejected a challenge to the cross by The American Atheists on Monday.
The cross, found in the rubble of the World Trade Center buildings became a strong symbol for rescue workers and victims' families in the aftermath of Sept. 11.
But the atheist group said acknowledging faith amounts to improper "religious promotion."
The court disagreed. The Supreme Court has long held that accurately telling human history often requires referring to religion.
The American Center for Law and Justice filed an amicus brief to protect the Ground Zero Cross.
"We argued from the beginning that this was a flawed legal challenge designed to re-write history and eliminate a powerful historical artifact," Jay Sekulow, chief counsel of the ACLJ, said.
"This bizarre legal challenge from an atheist group was exposed for what it was - a skewed legal challenge that had no merit," he added.
"This decision is a significant constitutional victory that protects the freedom to display religiously themed artifacts of historical or artistic significance without running afoul of the Constitution," he said.
The ACLJ said they believe The American Atheists will likely appeal.

LAWRENCE, Mass. -- It took three quarters, but Lawrence found the right mix of effort and execution needed to put away Methuen tonight, 69-58, in the opening round of the Greater Lawrence Christmas Tournament.
For the first three quarters, no Lawrence (4-0) lead was greater than six points. Going into the fourth up 46-42, the team ratcheted up its defensive pressure and overall tenacity to outscore Methuen (0-4) 23-16 to pull away and show what it is capable of when clicking on all cylinders.
"I thought the kids were playing hard, and that's one of the things I'm stressing to the team, that we need to be the hardest working team when we go out there," said Lawrence coach Raymond Nunez. "In regards to executing, we have a long way to go, especially on the defensive end."
Methuen was kept in the game in large part because of its outside shooting. When Lawrence went up by four or six points early and appeared to be set to pull away, someone would hit a three-pointer to cut the deficit back down.
Lawrence did most of its damage around the basket, where Tre'von Farley and Roberto Speing each had a double-double. Speing was more active on the boards (16 points, 14 rebounds) while Farley (14 points, 10 rebounds) filled up his stat line in the latter half of the game.
"We really didn't play together as a team," said Farley. "We didn't really play as one. This is a team that we should really be up against and if we play defense, that we should be able to put away. We were really slacking on the defensive end. We have to get better defensively."
Lawrence will play in the semi-finals of the Greater Lawrence Christmas Tournament on Dec. 27 against the winner of the Pinkerton Academy-Greater Lawrence game, which will take place Friday.
Double Trouble: Not to say that any player is more important than another, but Lawrence's success will depend on how Speing and Farley perform in games. When they are being fed the ball in the post or attacking the rim off the dribble, that is when the team has its most success. As the season rolls on, and with the team lacking a consistent long-range shooting threat, their consistency in the paint will be imperative if the team wants to make noise in the Merrimack Valley Conference.
That creates open space for teammates elsewhere if the defense collapses on them, they can draw fouls on the opposing big men, or they can make the most of second chance opportunities on the offensive glass.
"I think we need to do a better job of getting it to them in the post," said Nunez. "We work our big guys day in and day out and the way you reward them is feed them in the post. I think we had an advantage down low, but we just struggled feeding them in the post. It's going to come with time though."
Putting either on the free throw line is also not a winning strategy for the opposition. Both Speing and Farley are above average free throw shooters for players their size. Tonight, they went a combined 8-of-11 from the line.
"We work off each other," said Farley. "If Roberto's on one side, we know just to box out and if the ball is going up, we just try to get hungry and go for the rebound. That's just our main goal: to rebound. That's our job."
Trying to Find a Balance: Like most teams early in the season, Lawrence has had difficulty finding consistency on both ends of the floor. That was most evident Thursday, when coaches were yelling for the players to communicate on defense. For three quarters, there were breakdowns in the interior, which allowed players like Tim Galloway-Burke (14 points, 6 rebounds) and Jamal Rene (4 points, 8 rebounds) to occasionally muscle and maneuver their way around the paint.
That changed in the fourth, when the Lawrence players started showing up in hustle plays, where they were not in the first three quarters. Players were diving for balls on the ground, chasing balls and preventing them from going out of bounds, and attacking defensively, whereas earlier in the game, players were shying away from those.
Putting it all together: When a team's biggest issue is effort, how can it become less of a problem? Is it something that can be taken care of in practice? Does the coaching staff have to pick up its demands on its players? Or is it just a matter of a team growing together and developing chemistry to make it easier to play together?
That is something a team like Lawrence will have to find out soon. There is no doubt the talent is there to be a dangerous team, but can it manifest that talent into a cohesive unit that can compete as it gets deeper into the season?
"It's going to be a matter of us stressing it in practice," said Nunez. "We have to get back into practice and just work at it. Then we have to rely on our three seniors coming back (Farley, Denny Gonzalez, and Esmelin Romero). I think those three guys can make a big impact on the defensive end, and also just in a leadership aspect. Just having that experience, I think they can help our young guys that are inexperienced with that."

Health and school personnel are preparing for a major possible spike in the H1NI (swine) flu virus as the start of school draws near.
Officials with the state Department of Health and Environmental Control met with school nurses last week to discuss preventative measures and the future availability of immunization packages.
HEATH SPRINGS – Heath Springs Town Council may opt to raise its water and sewer rates at Tuesday night's meeting.
The town has not raised its water and sewer rates since January 2006, when the base rate went from $13 to $15.
Heath Springs charges $15 for in-town residents for the first 3,000 gallons, while the city of Lancaster charges $19.57. Lancaster County charges $31.28 for the first 3,000 gallons. The town charges $15 for the first 3,000 gallons of sewer treatment.
A pair of Lancaster youth softball teams earned berths to the 2009 World Series in Sumter.
The teams, who qualified for the prestigious tournament, did so by winning state championships on the way to Sumter.
When they made the trip to Sumter to launch their World Series drive, the girls' goals were to bring home a coveted Series title.
The teams – the Lancaster County Darlings and Southern Belles – fell short in their respective bids.
I understand the sentiment of those who are calling us to say that they do not want their medical care delivered from Washington. But I also understand that 50 percent of all health care in this country is either paid for or provided through the federal government. That includes Medicare, Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program, Tricare Standard, Tricare for Life, Veterans Health Care, Military Health Care, Indian Health Care, the Public Health Service, and the Federal Employees Benefit Program.
Residents of the city of Lancaster may soon face new guidelines on how they can park their utility trailers, boats, motor homes and campers at their homes.
City Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to amend an ordinance that outlined the storage of such vehicles on residential property. One more reading by council is required for the amended ordinance to take effect.
Under the revised ordinance, residents would not be allowed to park their utility and recreational equipment in the front or side yard of any single- or two-family dwelling for more than three days.
VAN WYCK, It's been more than 30 years since Rosemary Fann went dancing.
But that's exactly what she did at a party in her honor last week. Fann, 61, spent some of the night on July 30 shuffling around the dance floor at a celebration organized by the Sun City Carolina Lakes softball club.
"It's been awhile since I danced and I've never fast-danced like that," Fann said. "But I really enjoyed myself. It was a lot of fun."
Sheriff's investigators were looking into a shooting Thursday afternoon on North Corner Road.
Sheriff Barry Faile said Carlos McCune, 39, of 3928 N. Corner Road, was shot with a shotgun in the stomach and leg about 12:30 p.m. Thursday.
Faile said the incident was preceded by a fight in Union County, N.C., between McCune and his brother, Todd.
The shooting happened after McCune headed home. He was shot at a neighboring home.
I would like to let everyone in Lancaster County know that we do have some of the nicest and most wonderful folks in our town.
The teachers of the adult education classes are so caring and they devote their time to help others. We are fortunate to have such devoted people.
They always seem to have the time for each student there.
They listen to you either about work or everyday life. They are not just there for the teaching. They go far beyond their ability to help each and every one.
The Lancaster chapter of the S.C. Junior Golf Association garnered a second-place team finish in the annual state all-star tournament last weekend at the Pickens Country Club.
"This was our best overall finish as a team in our 15-year history," said Lancaster chapter director Raymon Chisom. "We had some outstanding play and I was really proud of the overall effort. Our chapter is right up there with the best in the state."
Greenville won the overall team championship.
BUFORD Andrew Jackson and Lancaster each were shutout winners to highlight action in the sixth annual Founders Federal Kickoff Classic at Buford High School's Jackets Stadium on Friday night.
The Volunteers of first-year head coach Elmer Bench posted a 7-0 win over Class AAAA Fort Mill and the Bruins followed with a 21-0 victory over county foe Indian Land.
Host Buford forged an early 7-0 lead on No. 1 ranked Central of Pageland, but the Eagles rallied for 16 unanswered points in a 16-7 comeback win.

Notch Approximation to Low-Cycle Fatigue Analysis of Cylinder with a Hole
Application ID: 13497
A load carrying component of a structure is subjected to multi-axial cyclic loading during which localized yielding of the material occurs. In this model you perform a low cycle fatigue analysis of the part based on the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) model.
Due to localized yielding, you can use two methods to obtain the stress and strain distributions for the fatigue evaluation. The first method is an elastoplastic analysis with linear kinematic hardening, while the second is a linear elastic analysis with Neuber correction for plasticity, based on the Ramberg-Osgood material model. This example explores the second method. In the model "Low-Cycle Fatigue Analysis of Cylinder with a Hole", the same problem is solved using the full elastoplastic approach.
This application was built using the following:Fatigue Module
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on the physics interfaces that define it.

From the Vatican:
- Official Vatican Website for the Year of Faith
- Documents of the Second Vatican Council
- Catechism of the Catholic Church
- Apostolic Letter Porta Fidei Announcing the Year of Faith
From USCCB:
Pope Benedict XVI has stated that the Year of Faith is to be a worldwide moment of prayer. One way to fulfill this request is the promotion of the . . . that was conceived in 1951 by the Servant of God, Archbishop Fulton Sheen. The World Mission Rosary unites people of the world in a spiritual communion and as Bishop Sheen said, the one who prays it will embrace all continents, all people in prayer.
Before praying the Angelus on Octctober 7, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI recalled that the traditional annual "supplication", in which thousands of faithful around the world participate, is taking place today at the Italian shrine of Pompei, dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary.
"As we too spiritually unite ourselves to that choral invocation, I would like to invite everyone to cherish the Rosary during the forthcoming Year of Faith. With the Rosary, in fact, we allow ourselves to be guided by Mary, the model of faith, in meditating upon the mysteries of Christ, and day after day we are helped to assimilate the Gospel so that it can shape our lives. Therefore, in the wake of my predecessors, and in particular Blessed John Paul II who ten years ago gave us his Apostolic Letter 'Rosarium Virginis Mariae', I invite people to pray the Rosary individually, in the family and in the community, placing themselves in the school of Mary who leads us to Christ, the living centre of our faith".

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Discussion (23) ¬
Aye. Some of the quests and conversation between Sylvannis and Hellscream are, uh, a biatch! The forsaken…the new scourge? Hmmm. My fav new quest in Tarren Mill…the shovel and the human seeds (and whacking them to save them from the forsaken). Wow. Hello Walking Dead?
That is so epic I don't even have the words to describe it.
Awesome! I am not a forsaken fan, but that poster is beautiful – I agree with your wife – one for each faction leader would be awesome!
Holy shit! This is awesome. Already set as my iPhone wallpaper.
I've spent the last week levelling up an undead warlock and its so fun to actually be evil.
so… where can i get this as a 1680×1050 wallpaper?
to be serious for a moment!
The problem with Lordaeron is that there are both living and dead who claim right to it. The other problem is that neither wants to live with the other. It would be nice if people would just acknowledge that the Forsaken do have a right to live on the land they died on, but Sylvanas is being a total crazy bitch about the whole situation.
I'd also like to point out that the Forsaken are trying to take lands that DON'T belong to them, namely Gilneas. So….that's the situation we're in now. Fun times. Having played a worgen, I was really quite mad at the Forsaken. The Gilneans weren't doing anything but staying behind their wall, having a civil war and the Forsaken decided to try to take their land. Pretty unfair all around.
Can you link hi-res version so one could go adventure down to Kinko's and make instant posters?
We totally need one for all the faction leaders. Pleasssse and thank you. Also can we get this in desktop wallpaper sizes. It looks awesome!
Just so long as the one for Tyrande is awesome, I'd be thrilled. I loved it. I'd love to see more. You can be funny another day.
Why, yes it does. Forsaken are my favourite race. The undead areas are now the most awesome I've been in..
*Lordaeron* belongs to the Forsaken. The *other* side of that wall, however? Does not.
I second that request for a desktop wallpaper! Gorgeous!
I tried playing a worgen; but I hate, hate, HATE that they spend the first five levels killing their own kind because they're "motherless beasts". Then they turn around and accept each other so long the worgen are acting human enough; and kill the undead instead, as if they're somehow worse. – How do we know that none of the invading Forsaken were friends or relatives of the Gilneans when they were alive? – And neither threat, worgen or undead, seeks to destroy Gilneas, only change it.
I stand firmly with Sylvanas. Greymane wanted the worgen dead until he became one. He deserves whatever the Forsaken can throw at him.
Farking zombie bastards.
/Scarlet Power!
//Never give up, never surrender!
Please, I am NOT trolling. But what am I looking at here? I see a ruined bridge in the backround, but what is that in the foreground? I'm just not seeing it. I'm making out arrows and a bow…
Pigipally: Thats Sylvannas Windrunner leader of the forsaken
Lordaeron belongs to the humans
Lorderon may belong to the Forsaken, but Gilneas will be ours forever!
The Banshee Queen will be nothing but a memory before long. Blizzard is obviously working to removing the Forsaken from the Horde altogether, in order to start a new 3rd faction, or to kill off Sylvannas altogether.
You know, if you show this to blizzard, you will definitely get payed. a lot.
or sued.
but I think payed! This most likely IS already your job, something about graphics and stuff, but maybe even corporate the entire comic with something blizzlikeish?
this picture is just amazing. I cant even stack 51 layers of WHITE PAPER in a pretty way, you do that with PHOTOSHOP THINGYS! (I have no clue about graphics and photoshoping, excuse my ignorance :P)
Man can we get this one at Poster/Wallpaper Size?!
Always and forever, milady. Always and forever.
I'm with Pigipally here. Look, the background is great, the line is great, the font & kerning is great, the sentiment is great–but the figure is a complete mess. Really shoulda gone with another angle on Sylvanas.

Pain when swallowing radiated to the neck
Q: Hi, I have what started off as what I thought was a crick in my neck about a week ago but in the past few days it has gotten worse and now feels extremely painful to swallow, but at the back of my neck as opposed to my throat, its mostly on my left hand side but sometimes on both sides at the same time and always to the back, its giving me horrible headaches too, is this something that is likely to just go away itself or is a trip to the doctor needed?
A: Swallowing is a complex act that involves the mouth, throat area, and esophagus (the muscular tube that moves food to the stomach). Many nerves and muscles control how these body parts work. Part of the act of swallowing is under voluntary control, which means you are aware of controlling the action. However, much of swallowing is involuntary. The pain may be felt high in the neck or lower down behind the breastbone. It is most often a strong feeling of uncomfortable squeezing and burning, and may be a symptom of a serious disorder. Possible causes of painful swallowing are as follows: infections or abscess in the back of the throat, esophagus problems (achalasia, spasms, reflux disease). I strongly recommend you to visit your doctor and get a comprehensive evaluation including lab and imaging tasts in order to rule out early any kind of serious condition.

Solar Energy Options
Typically the first thing that comes to mind when you think of solar energy is living off the grid without being burdened by a huge monthly power bill. This definitely is an option. However, there are other ways to use solar energy as well. One of the most common is called an energy buy back program. With these types of programs, houses are connected to the grid and sell any excess energy that they produce back to the power company. This dramatically reduces their monthly power bill, and may even allow them to earn extra money on the side, depending on how much energy they produce. The majority of people find this to be a better option that cutting themselves off from the grid entirely.
Solar Subsidies And Tax Breaks
Every state varies in how it handles solar energy. However, most states offer some sort of tax break or subsidy to homeowners who choose to install solar panels. Likewise, there are also programs available at the federal level. This can be a complex topic. For now, a good place to start is by researching your state's solar energy policies to find out whether or not they offer any perks for installing residential or commercial solar panels. Again, don't forget to check for any benefits at the federal level as well.
Hiring A Solar Installer
Once you determine how you are going to pay for your solar panels, the next step is to find the most qualified company available to install them. There are a lot of accredited solar panel providers that offer superior products and excellent service, the likes of Solar Panels Adelaide or Solar Panels Perth. Apart from our suggestions, however, if you decide to use a different company be sure to research them first to find out whether or not they are truly up for the job. You can either go directly to the company to ask for references, or you can do research online to find out what past clients have to say about working with a particular company.
Taking The First Step
The information above barely skims the surface of working with solar energy. We are more than happy to answer any questions that you may have via telephone. Give us a call anytime and we can walk you through the ins and outs of how solar works and how it can benefit you. We hope you enjoy your time on our site and that you visit some of the links that we have included to other resources that can help you get your own solar energy system up and running in no time at all.

The Bundesliga may be well known for the large crop of young talent emerging from its youth academies, but there are many top-class foreigners who have made their way in the German domestic league.
Treble-winners Bayern Munich have long relied on imported stars, with Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery, Javi Martinez, Mario Mandzukic, Dante and David Alaba among their key players. Dortmund have enjoyed a successful spell with Polish trio Robert Lewandowski, Jakub Blaszczykowski and Lukasz Piszczek in their ranks, and this season have looked abroad for reinforcements in the form of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
The aforementioned are just a few of the many foreign-born stars of the German domestic league. For a rundown of which imports to watch in the Bundesliga this season, click "Begin Slideshow."
