Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 review – Introduction:
Panasonic's Lumix DMC-G1 was the model that kick-started the compact system camera market. Although the range has since expanded to include the GH, GF and GX versions, the G series retains its popularity due to the inclusion of a viewfinder, hotshoe mount and vari-angle screen.
The expansion of the range is a sign of the considerable size of the compact system market, which now accounts for 22% of all interchangeable-lens camera sales in the UK. The micro four thirds system used by Panasonic (and shared with Olympus) remains the largest, with 12 cameras and 29 lenses now available, 16 of the lenses being from Panasonic.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 is actually the fourth camera in the original G range, with the model number jumping from 3 to 5, thereby avoiding the unlucky (in Japan) number 4. While it is a natural successor to the G3, it will not replace the old model. Instead, both will be available, widening Panasonic's range to provide a camera to suit a range of needs and budgets.
With an already impressive specification on the G3, one might expect improvements in the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 to be minimal, but it seems that the addition of elements from the Lumix DMC-GH2 and GF5, as well as some new functions, should allow the camera to distinguish itself from those models that have come before.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 features the same 16.05-million-pixel sensor as the GH2, which is itself an upgrade from the 16-million-pixel unit in the G3. The G5's sensor has an output of 4608×3456 pixels, which will comfortably deliver a high-resolution A3 print (at around 280dpi). Paired with the sensor is the new Venus 7 HD II engine processor as featured in the GF5. This has resulted in faster burst shooting, up from 4fps to 6fps, and a 1EV increase in ISO sensitivity, which now reaches 12,800. The combination also increases the video potential of the G5, which can record in 1080 50p using the AVCHD format or 1080 25p with MP4.
Images are saved in a choice of JPEG or Panasonic's native RW2 raw files, with the option for combined raw and two levels of JPEG compression. There are also options for 3:2 and 16:9 aspect ratios to be recorded at 14 and 12-million-pixel resolutions respectively.
Image: In multi-segment metering, highlight detail can be lost when the dynamic range is exceeded, although this if easily rectified with exposure compensation.
As we saw in the G3, the readout from the sensor chips in both the camera and lens doubles from 60fps to 120fps when the shutter is half-pressed. This helps to deliver the autofocus speed, which is claimed to be even faster in this model. The metering uses a familiar 144-zone, multi-pattern system with intelligent multiple, centreweighted and spot options, while exposure compensation is available in ±5EV for a wide degree of adjustment if required.
A full selection of manual and auto shooting modes are available, including an iAuto button on the top-plate. This overrides all manual settings and employs the most relevant scene mode from data gathered by the camera. For burst shooting, the camera will allow nine raw or combined raw + JPEG frames, or 13 fine JPEG files before slowing to around 3fps. Raw files take quite a while to clear from the buffer (around 2secs per file), and while this doesn't lock the camera down, it does mean having to wait to review the images. This can be up to 20secs after a high-speed burst.

A silent shutter mode is present for more discreet snapping, and both the scene guide and set of 14 filters come directly from the GF5. One new addition, however, is the HDR mode. The G5 is the first G-series model to include an HDR mode and it works in much the same way as other auto HDR functions, capturing a series of images and combining them in-camera to achieve a wider dynamic range. At present, this doesn't seem to have been built into the iA functionality, so must be accessed from the automatic or priority shooting modes via the menu.
Externally, the differences to the G3 are subtle. The most noticeable is the deeper handgrip on the G5, which feels much more substantial in the hand. This change in design has also allowed the use of a larger battery unit, which therefore results in a longer shooting time. With the reliance on the electronic viewfinder or monitor screen, however, this is still estimated at only 320 shots. The electronic viewfinder is the same 1.44-million-dot unit used previously, but the eye sensor – not present in the G3 – returns and also activates the autofocus, so the camera starts to focus as soon as the EVF is brought up to the eye.
The mode dial is larger and the rear buttons are now metal rather than plastic, giving the camera a more refined feel. The shutter button sits further forward at an angle, and behind it sits a function lever – a small rocker for menu and shooting functions, as well as for zooming with the X-series power-zoom lenses attached.
The rear LCD screen jumps from the G3's 460,000 dots up to 920,000 dots on the G5, with a noticeable increase in sharpness and quality. It is also still a touchscreen unit, allowing touch-shutter and touch-focus controls as well as menu access. As before, the screen is mounted on a vari-angle bracket with horizontal and vertical rotation, but one new feature is the ability to use it for focus-point selection when using the EVF. In this set-up, the LCD screen remains black but by moving a finger around the screen the focus point changes in the EVF.
Touchscreen control
Touchscreen is fast becoming another feature in cameras that is taken for granted, just as it has with smartphones and tablets. However, touch functionality has to be useful for it to be worth covering the screen in fingerprints. Touch focus is a prime example of this technology, making camera use easier as it saves time rather than just space on the body.
The advancement of touch focus in the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 seems subtle at first – the process remains the same, touching the screen to choose the focus-point placement – but it now allows the screen to be used while composing an image through the viewfinder.
For this to work effectively, the LCD screen must be folded out to the side of the camera, changing the way the camera is held. As the user moves their finger around the otherwise black LCD screen, the focus point in the viewfinder moves accordingly. Its use is only a subtle benefit over a D-pad or scroll wheel, but the combination of EVF and rear screen is an interesting one that has greater possibilities and is more pleasing to use than one might expect.
Build and handling
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 behaves much like the G3 in operation, managing to offer a close-to-DSLR feel despite the small form. Construction of the body still appears to be polycarbonate, but the rear buttons are now metal rather than plastic, giving a higher-class finish. The only exception is a rather plastic-feeling control wheel. The EVF is very clear and bright with performance matching the best currently on the market, and it is easy to view, even with glasses. When the G3 was introduced, the eye sensor was removed from the EVF, but thankfully the G5 sees its return, making the switch from rear screen to viewfinder all the quicker. The larger grip is a nice addition, too, and makes the camera feel more substantial, even though with a small lens it remains almost pocket-sized.
When the power zoom lens is attached, the new function lever allows easy control of the lens and gives the G5 the feel of a compact camera. It allows the left hand to remain supporting the camera, which means there is less likelihood of camera shake for video. However, for still use a regular zoom barrel is my preferred choice, and adjusting the zoom using the electronic controls either on the lens or the camera is a slow process.
Menu control is a bit of a mish-mash between touchscreen and cursor operation. The benefit is that most functions can be selected or controlled with both, but the downside is that, at times, it doesn't feel optimised for either. The Q menu (quick menu) can be quite fiddly to select with a finger, while with the cursor the movement is sometimes limited to the left and right selection when trying to get to functions above or below, such as in submenus. For those used to touchscreen gestures, there is also a lack of free scrolling in the menus or any pinch controls on playback. However, the touchscreen display options are useful, with the ability not only to choose to show histogram or virtual level overlays, but also reposition the histogram so it doesn't block important areas of the scene.

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5's 144-zone metering offers a comprehensive multi-segment system that produces well-exposed results within the camera's dynamic range. Once that range is exceeded, the exposure tends to need reducing by around 1⁄3-1⁄2EV if the brighter area is small in the scene. A test of the tipping point showed that the bright area needed to cover almost half the frame before the metering really corrected for it.
This is in line with most consumer-level models and is easily corrected with a small adjustment of the exposure compensation. Having the metering set up in this way produces better results straight from the camera, and for those who prefer to edit their shots on a computer, it is easily adjusted. The centreweighted option can also be useful for exposing a central subject, but in doing so it is more likely to overexpose, say, a bright sky.
For portraits in tricky lighting, the spot-metering option comes in handy, but is centrally placed rather than linked to the AF point. Using face detection can work as an alternative to concentrate the exposure on a face, often without such dramatic results.
White balance and colour
Image: Skin tones appear very natural in JPEG format, taken straight from the camera
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5's white balance offers just five presets in addition to the auto setting, but each can be fine-tuned with a full four-way axis. There are also two manual presets that can be measured by taking a test shot, as well as colour temperature adjustment. However, for most scenes the auto white balance does a great job so there is little need to use the presets, especially when shooting in raw, which gives complete control at the editing stage.
In its standard mode, the G5 delivers very natural-looking colours, akin to those expected by DSLR users. For those wanting different looks, the camera offers a choice of six photo styles, including vivid, natural, mono, scenery and portrait. There is also a custom mode that applies the user's own colour preferences, although all photo styles can be fine-tuned for contrast, sharpness, saturation and noise reduction.
LCD, live view and video
The rear LCD screen on the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 is a big improvement over the G3 version, bringing the resolution from 460,000 up to 921,000 dots. Like the previous unit, it still retains its touchscreen capability for menu access, image review and shooting control, including touch AF and touch shutter.
This feature – which allows the user to simply press the screen and take the shot – and touch focus are handy when the camera is mounted on a tripod. The ability to use the screen for focus when composing with the EVF takes this one stage further, though. Touch is generally responsive, but at times takes a more firm press than is needed with smartphones. The quality of the screen is impressive, though, and provides plenty of detail for reviewing image sharpness, aided by the 16x zoom function.
The electronic viewfinder offers a 1.44-million-dot resolution, which is the same as that on the previous model. While the latest Sony cameras feature nearly double this number of dots, the frame rate and brightness of the G5's screen still deliver excellent results. It might not fool anyone into believing it is an optical device, but the benefits of the on-screen information and advantages over using just a rear LCD are undeniable.
Panasonic has increased the video ability on the G5 to deliver full HD 1080 capture at 60/50p rather than the 60/50i that has been available previously in the GF5 and even the flagship video model, the GH2. This uses the AVCHD format, but MPEG-4 capture is also available in 1080 25p. What this camera lacks for video fans, however, is the 2.5mm mic input of the GH2. Instead, stereo mic inputs are built into the top of the body. In the menu, however, there are controls for mic levels and wind-cut to improve sound performance.
Noise, resolution and sensitivity
These images show 72ppi (100% on a computer screen) sections of images of a resolution chart, captured using the Leica DG Summilux 25mm f/1.4 Asph.
We show the section of the resolution chart where the camera starts to fail to reproduce the lines separately. The higher the number visible in these images, the better the camera's detail resolution is at the specified sensitivity setting.
Although the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 uses the same sensor as that used in the GH2, results have been improved, most notably at higher ISO values. This could also be a result of the latest processing engine.
At its base ISO sensitivity, the G5 reaches a respectable 28 on our chart with both raw and JPEG files. By ISO 800, this drops to a still reasonable 24, but it then manages to retain this resolving power all the way up to its top ISO 12,800 setting.
This is close to the results from the Olympus OM-D E-M5 at the lower end, but scores better at higher sensitivities.
Noise levels are well controlled in JPEG files, with only slight luminance noise visible through the noise reduction from ISO 3200 and a slight appearance of colour noise at ISO 12,800
The raw files show a greater degree of noise, but it only takes a small amount of adjustment in editing software to remove it so detail can be maintained.
The micro four thirds system is often criticised for the level of detail that can be obtained, especially at higher ISO sensitivities, but while these results might not compare with the 20+-million-pixel sensors, the G5 has greater resolving power than some 16-million-pixel, APS-C cameras.
Dynamic range
The sensor in the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 provided one of Panasonic's best dynamic range scores to date, at 11.3EV.
This is comparable with older DSLR models and compacts such as the Canon PowerShot S95, but is certainly a continued weakness due to the smaller sensor, given what larger ones are capable of.
However, there are some slight improvements in this model, and the inclusion of an HDR mode for the first time in a G-series camera sees Panasonic providing a workaround at least for those shooting higher-contrast scenes.
The focusing that is offered in the Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 is a long way from the early days of contrast-detection systems. In good light, it performs as well if not better than entry-level DSLR cameras. Its remaining weakness appears to be tracking subjects in low light, as it often fails to lock on in low-light situations. This is an area where the higher-level phase-detection systems on DSLR cameras still have the edge. Although hybrid systems promise an answer to this, none to date has managed to keep up with the speed of the Panasonic or Olympus contrast-detection systems.
There is a wide array of focus options in the G5 to control how the AF performs, from continuous and flexible focus options to allow the camera to focus before half-pressing the shutter button, through to touch focus and face-detection options. It can be difficult to identify what each control actually does at first, and they are spread across the menu system. A dedicated focus menu would be handy here, along with descriptions as to the function of each control when selected.
The competition
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 sits at a crowded price point and competes with the likes of the Olympus Pen E-P3 and Sony's NEX-5N.
Image: Sony NEX-5N
Of these, the Sony model is perhaps the most appealing with its APS-C-sized 16-million-pixel sensor, but with a zoom lens attached it is far from compact and the high ISO results don't stand up to the G5's.
As one of only a few DSLR-styled mirrorless models, the G5 offers a unique appeal. The only other CSC cameras that feature a built-in EVF are the Samsung NX20, Fujifilm X-Pro1, Olympus OM-D E-M5 and the Sony NEX-7, all of which are considerably more expensive.
Image: Samsung NX20
Closest in price is the Samsung NX20, which offers impressive results from its 20.3-million-pixel, APS-C-sized sensor. It also includes wireless connectivity, but while the body is quite compact, the larger form of the lenses makes it less pocket-friendly.
Our verdict
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 remains a more DSLR-like experience to use than most current compact system camera models. The improvements to the sensor and processing engine enable an impressive performance and show that a smaller-format sensor can compete against APS-C models. The handling of noise is extremely impressive, allowing critical shooting up to ISO 3200 and the retention of high levels of detail even at ISO 12,800. Focusing remains an issue in low-light situations, though, and is something that may well lead to a hybrid contrast- and phase-detection solution in the future, like those now offered by Nikon and Canon.
Touchscreen controls have their benefits and in places really aid the G5's operation. However, the menu needs work to accommodate both cursor and touch operation properly. If a viewfinder is essential to your shooting style, the G5 is the most affordable offering and its results do not disappoint. The plethora of available lenses is a benefit to this system, and there are some stunning primes available that really get the best from the G5.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G5 – Key features
Eye sensor
While not included on the previous model, the eye sensor has returned to the G5. It provides quick EVF selection and activates the AF functionality.
LCD bracket
Allowing the screen to be adjusted by 180° horizontally and 270° vertically, the LCD can be placed at almost any angle for easy viewing.
Autofocus control
The options for autofocus in the G5 are extensive. From the menu it is possible to set the camera to continuously focus without the shutter being pressed. The theory is that your subject will already be in focus before you even move to take the shot, therefore reducing focus time.
Lens choice
The micro four thirds system offers the largest lens range (without an adapter) among compact system cameras, with the ability to use lenses from Olympus and the new dedicated micro four thirds lenses from Sigma on top of Panasonic's own collection and Leica-branded lenses.
The larger grip on the G5 provides more space for a battery unit and therefore the potential for greater power. This has resulted in an estimated 330 shots per charge compared to 270 in the G3, which is a welcome increase but perhaps not as great an improvement as expected.
The video performance of the G5 makes it the most advanced in the range, delivering full 1080 capture at 50/60p. In the GH2 video was output at 50/60p, but recorded at 24p. The only downside for videographers is that the camera lacks a microphone input port.
Control dial
The thumbwheel provides the main function adjustment, but in contrast to the other buttons it has a rather 'plastic' feel to it.
Q menu
This provides access to the most used functions, but unlike the main menu it appears in small icons around the edge of the screen.

The Epic Midi / 175 system provides a level of sonic transparency and detailed, uncolored musical sound that is unprecedented in a moderately priced home theater system. This system's larger EP175 powered subwoofer, with its 175-watt internal amplifier and 10-inch aluminum-cone woofer, lets you use it in living rooms of 2,100 cu. ft. or a bit larger.
The critically acclaimed M2 bookshelf speakers, praised by critics and customers alike for their transparent, nuanced and neutral music reproduction-- each use a single 5.25-inch woofer and a 1-inch titanium dome tweeter — exactly the same drivers that the celebrated M22 and floorstanding M60 and M80 tower speakers use for upper bass, midrange and treble. So it's no surprise that the M2 presents a soundstage of compelling width and depth. The EP175 powered subwoofer extends the M2's musical range into the lower octaves to frequencies at the bass limit of most musical instruments (the bottom note on a grand piano is at 28 Hz).
The QS4 quadpolar surround speakers each use four drivers firing in four different directions to create a remarkable audio illusion. They produce ultra-realistic envelopment in effects and location sounds from 5.1 channel movie soundtracks. Thunder, rainstorms and jungle scenes heard from the QS4s will put you in that environment, so complete is the surround effect. Fronts, center and surrounds can be wall-mounted or stand-mounted.

Speaking to voters at Hotel Fort Des Moines in Des Moines, Iowa today, Governor Mitt Romney treated listeners to a powerful, plain-spoken speech on America's federal spending addiction and our nearly incomprehensible national debt.
Prior to his appearance in Des Moines, the Romney campaign released a thought-provoking web video focusing on Iowans – "a few of the 23 million" – who are struggling under the oppressive Obama economy:
Before The Gov delivered his remarks, the Des Moines Register published an article by Jennifer Jacobs highlighting some of Romney's remarks:
Romney speech: Prairie fire of debt doesn't care if it's a donkey or elephant in your lawn
A prairie fire of debt is sweeping across Iowa and our nation, and GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney will tell Iowans today he can douse the flames.
"That fire could care less if you have a donkey or an elephant in your front lawn, it's still coming for your house," Romney's prepared remarks say, according to his campaign. "There's plenty of blame to go around for both parties.
"But in my years leading businesses, an Olympics and a state, I've learned one simple principle of leadership that never falters: Leaders lead. I will lead us out of this debt and spending crisis."
While Romney deftly blocks Obama's fiery darts and keeps bringing the campaign dialogue back to the economy, Jacobs writes that the Obama re-election campaign is trying to "pierce" Romney's message by running Iowa TV attack ads against the governor.
Romney intends to steer the conversation toward government spending and debt.
"President Obama started his days in office with the trillion-dollar stimulus package – the biggest, most careless one-time expenditure by the federal government in history. And remember this: the stimulus wasn't just wasted – it was borrowed and wasted. We still owe the money, we're still paying interest on it, and it'll be that way long after this presidency ends in January," Romney's prepared remarks say.
VIDEO of Romney's excellent speech may be viewed here.
★ Transcript of Romney's remarks from Des Moines:
Thank you all very much.
It's good to be back in Iowa. So many friends here hold a special place in my heart.
I've come here today to talk to you about an issue that affects the very heart of America.
Of course, Iowa is much more than a collection of beautiful farms and small towns and cities bounded by two of America's great rivers. Iowa is a collection of the values that built America and that have sustained us through good times and bad. You know them well: hard work, taking care of our neighbors, family, faith in God and country. Common sense, kitchen table values. Not fancy, but enduring.
These aren't the values that lead to out-of-control spending sprees, or to piling up massive amounts of debt you know your children – and grandchildren – will have to work all their lives to pay off. These aren't the values of putting off difficult decisions with the hope that maybe someone else will solve them.
Today America faces a financial crisis of debt and spending that threatens what it means to be an American. Here in the heartland you know in your hearts that it's wrong.
We can't spend another four years talking about solving a problem that we know we are making worse every single day.
When the men and women who settled the Iowa prairie saw a fire in the distance, they didn't look around for someone else to save them or go back to sleep hoping the wind might blow another direction. They knew that their survival was up to them.
A prairie fire of debt is sweeping across Iowa and our nation and every day we fail to act that fire gets closer to the homes and children we love.

The Epistle of Romans is the nuts and bolts of everyday Christian living. Paul began this message by saying he had been "set apart for the gospel of God". He then explained that this gospel had been promised through God's prophets in the Holy Scriptures "regarding His Son, who as to His human nature was a descendant of David, and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 1:3-4)
Nearly a thousand years before the birth of Christ, God had revealed the future line of David to the prophet Nathan. He promised David, "When your days are over and you rest with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, who will come from your own body, and I will establish His kingdom. He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of His kingdom forever." (2 Samuel 7:12, 13) We find the fulfillment of this prophecy in Jesus' birth, which was verified by at least three ancient historians: Tacitus of Rome, Josephus, and Pliny.
The genealogy of Jesus Christ is recorded in the gospels of both Matthew and Luke. Matthew documented the royal line from Solomon, David's royal son, through Joseph, Jesus' adopted father. Luke's genealogy recorded the legal line of the Virgin Mary, from Jesus backward to David's other son Nathan. Because of Joseph and Mary's marriage, Jesus was the legal son of David through Nathan's blood line, and He was the royal son of David by adoption through Solomon's blood line.
More than five centuries before Jesus' birth, the prophet Daniel also foretold His coming. "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a Son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence. He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed." (Daniel 7:13, 14)
Jesus Christ is the legal, royal, and true Messiah.
Pastor Odom's message can be heard each Sunday on Radio KAML, AM 990, at 8:30 a.m. Choate Baptist Church meets for Sunday School at 9:45 a.m., Worship at 11 a.m., and Sunday and Wednesday Evening Services at 7 p.m. Visitors are always welcome!

September 26, 2012 —
"Did you say Martians?" exclaimed one wide-eyed sixth-grader as Nick Spinelli, executive director of the Lake Wallenpaupack Watershed Management District, discussed the many benefits of wetlands during a regional visit last week from the Wyland Clean Water Mobile Learning Experience (MLE).
"No, I said marshlands," laughed Spinelli, who spent the day staffing a "Wetlands Investigation" booth to educate sixth-graders at Wallenpaupack Area Middle School about the importance of wetlands and macroinvertebrates to water quality.
In addition to a 40-person on-board multi-sensory theater, the Wyland MLE features models that explore the nature of watersheds via rain over a landscape, a running river, computer model simulations and hands-on activities.
Other local environmental professionals from the Pike County Conservation District and Pennsylvania Power and Light contributed their expertise by customizing the water messages to focus on regional ecosystems.
At one booth, "pollutants" in the form of small plastic marbles were placed across a watershed. Students witnessed what happened as "rain" was turned on and the marbles made their way ultimately to the ocean. At another, students spun a wheel, then punched buttons to apply various human impacts to estuary food webs. Crestfallen faces said it all as dolphins died off and multiple bird species went dark. Students also learned what actions to take to avoid such problems.
"It's education brought to life," said middle school principal Keith Gunuskey. "Any time you can provide hands-on learning, students' interest and understanding grows significantly." The information provided during the MLE visit ties in with the sixth grade curriculum, according to Gunuskey. "As teachers address issues related to water conservation and pollution throughout the year, they will be able to refer to the visit," he said.
The Wyland MLE also visited other Pike County schools while in the area, thanks to the support of the U.S. Forest Service at Grey Towers National Historic Site in Milford, along with the Wyland Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by artist and environmentalist Wyland, along with National Van Lines.

The Associated Press
CANNON AIR FORCE BASE— The Air Force Special Operations Command wing that is moving to Cannon Air Force Base has been designated the 27th Special Operations Wing, maintaining the history of the 27th at the southern New Mexico base.
The Air Force Special Operations Command said the wing designation was chosen to honor the 27th's long and distinguished history.
Cannon, threatened with closure in 2005 after its F-16 fighter squadrons under the 27th Fighter Wing were ordered elsewhere, was chosen in June 2006 for the Air Force's 16th Special Operations Wing. The Special Operations Command will take over the base Oct. 1.
Although Air Force officials originally planned to designate the new wing as the 16th, they decided Tuesday to keep the 27th designation in New Mexico because of its long history with the state.
Since its inception in 1940, the 27th designation has been assigned to various wings that have played important roles in America's wars.
The 27th was part of the Bataan Death March in the Philippines in 1942, which involved hundreds of New Mexicans, and the 27th Tactical Fighter Wing moved to Cannon on Feb. 18, 1958.
The state's five-member congressional delegation and Gov. Bill Richardson said they were pleased by the Air Force's decision.
Eventually, the base near Clovis will be home to about 100 Special Operations Command manned and unmanned aircraft and between 4,400 and 5,600 Air Force personnel.
Cannon will be adding AC-130s, MC-130s and Predator aircraft to its lineup, the governor's office said Wednesday.
Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., called the decision to keep the 27th designation appropriate, while Sen. Jeff Bingaman, D-N.M., said it was fitting to carry the name and tradition forward.
Reps. Heather Wilson and Steve Pearce, both R-N.M., and Tom Udall, D-N.M., also cited tradition. Wilson said the new wing will be proud to carry forward the 27th Fighter Wing's legacy of service; Udall said the decision shows respect for those who have served at Cannon over the years; and Pearce said it means a great deal to maintain the history as Cannon moves forward.
Richardson also cited the 27th's ties to New Mexico.
"We are proud to be able to carry on the good name and history of this distinguished unit," he said.

Jerome and Daisy Low Gilbert Professor and Professor of Biochemistry
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Telomeres are nucleoprotein complexes that protect chromosome ends and shorten with cell division and aging. We are interested in how telomere shortening influences cancer, stem cell function, aging and human disease. Telomerase is a reverse transcriptase that synthesizes telomere repeats and is expressed in stem cells and in cancer. We have found that telomerase also regulates stem cells and we are pursuing the function of telomerase through diverse genetic and biochemical approaches.
Robert Baldwin
Professor of Biochemistry, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly Interests I closed my laboratory when I retired in 1998. I continue to do research, chiefly in collaboration with Franc Avbelj, on problems of protein folding energetics, especially peptide backbone solvation, and to write reviews.
Philip Beachy
The Ernest and Amelia Gallo Professor in the School of Medicine and Professor of Developmental Biology
Current Research and Scholarly Interests Function of Hedgehog proteins and other extracellular signals in morphogenesis (pattern formation), in injury repair and regeneration (pattern maintenance). We study how the distribution of such signals is regulated in tissues, how cells perceive and respond to distinct concentrations of signals, and how such signaling pathways arose in evolution. We also study the normal roles of such signals in stem-cell physiology and their abnormal roles in the formation and expansion of cancer stem cells.
Onn Brandman
Assistant Professor of Biochemistry
Current Research and Scholarly Interests The Brandman Lab studies how cells ensure protein quality and how they signal stress. To achieve this, we employ an integrated set of techniques including single cell anaysis of stress pathways, structural studies, in vitro translation, and full genome screens in yeast and mammalian cells.
Douglas L. Brutlag
Professor of Biochemistry, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly Interests My primary interest is to understand the flow of information from the genome to the phenotype of an organism. This interest includes predicting the structure and function of genes and proteins from their primary sequence, predicting function from structure simulating protein folding and ligand docking, and predicitng disease from genome variations. These goals are the same as the goals of molecular biology, however, we use primarily computational approaches.

The Washington Monument opens to the public, John Lennon is born, Che Guevara is executed, and President Barack Obama wins the Nobel Peace Prize, all on this day.
2002: Serial killer Aileen Wuornos, who killed seven men in Florida in 1989 and 1990, is executed via lethal injection at the Florida State Prison in Bradford County, Florida. She was the 10th woman in the United States to be executed since the Supreme Court lifted the ban on capital punishment in 1976, and the second woman ever executed in Florida. Wuornos had claimed that all the killings were committed in self defense, saying that her victims had either raped or attempted to rape her while she was working as a prostitute. Her life got more attention a year after her execution with the release of the movie "Monster," with Charlize Theron winning an Academy Award for Best Actress for portraying Wuornos.

In the end, I got clobbered by that invention.

If you obey all the rules, you miss all the fun. - Katharine Hepburn
Mommas, it's been almost a week and the around-the-clock-non-stop nursing continues, along with its good friend, extreme sleep-deprivation (the other night my LO slept for 3 hours total and nursed the rest of the time). Did I also mention that she doesn't really nap for longer than 30 minutes at a time during the day?
Oh and at the moment of despair I tried to offer her a pacifier, but she vehemently rejected it (and actually got more upset by it). I guess I've got a smart baby on my hands, who wouldn't settle for a dummy if there's the real thing nearby.
The good news is that at the one month pediatrician appointment everything looked great: she has been gaining an ounce a day.
I've also tried side-laying again, but her latch is not good enough in that position and it was hurting pretty bad. Oh well...
Will I ever sleep again?

when you're nursing while laying on your side, are you using a rolled up towel under your breast? Sometimes it's just a matter of making sure that your breast is at the right height for your baby's mouth. Hang in there mama, things WILL get better.

My little bit is 11 days old today. He's had a tough run. I had a c-section at 37wks after developing pre-eclampsia at 36wks. He couldn't keep his blood sugar up in the hospital and was supplemented with formula. It took 3 days to get off the formula to straight breastfeeding but then he was diagnosed with the beginning of jaundice so the pediatrician said to feed every 2 hours. Well little dude does NOT want to eat that often! It takes over 20min to wake him up, and even then he'll just suck for a bit then hang out. I started using nipple shields since he's got a heckuva latch but read that it can affect the flow of the milk so that it might be taking longer to feed but when I tried no guards today it was back to square one as far as latching on, etc. Any advice? Besides hang in there, that's a given ) He's worth EVERYTHING, but I wish it wasn't quite the battle…

Once again I got through another week without feeling the need to attack anyone with physical force. And I survived anyway. Nor did I find it necessary to steal from anyone in order to survive another week. No, really.
Is that surprising? It shouldn't be.
Sure, some people were attacked and stolen from, supposedly on my behalf, but, as always, it was without my consent and it was completely unnecessary. I even witnessed some of these acts from afar as I went about my business.
Also, while no one attacked me or stole from me directly, there are always concealed violations that are said to be socially acceptable to the majority. These are done for "the good of society," by those who have been voted into positions, or by those hired by them, which permit them to get away with acts that would be illegal if you or I decided to go freelance and do them without official permission. These acts are wrong regardless.
Taking a person's private property, including his money when he would rather keep it for his own purposes, is theft no matter what you call it. Whether it is done in a dark alley, beside the highway, or in a brightly lit office makes no difference to the foundational facts of the act.
The same goes for violating any of his other property rights. As long as a person is not stealing, attacking, or damaging other people's private property, no one has a right to interfere with him. Not by force or by law. Not even because you believe society as a collective would be better off if he were prevented from doing what he is doing, or to prevent him from harming himself.
If you don't own yourself and your own life, to do with as you please as long as you harm no other individual, you own nothing.
Sure, I probably expressed some opinions in the past week that offended other people; just as other people expressed some opinions that I found horrific. However, I don't have a right to not be offended, and as long as their opinions don't "break my leg or pick my pocket", to paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, then I am unscathed. As are those who interacted with me.

Even if you're undocumented, you still have rights! Learn more, get help
Chris Ho Honored by Chinese for Affirmative Action
Chris Ho, Director of LAS-ELC's National Origin, Immigration, and Language Rights Program, was honored by Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA) for his work on behalf of immigrant and language minority communities at its Celebration of Justice on Thursday, June 6th. The annual event honors key civic and community leaders engaged in the struggle for civil rights and social justice. CAA recognized Chris for the National Origin Program's landmark litigation victories in Singh v. Jutla and Rivera v. Nibco, Inc., cases that have set widely-cited legal precedent enabling undocumented workers to more readily vindicate their workplace rights without fear of employer retaliation.
In receiving the award, Chris praised the decades-long work of CAA, a deeply rooted San Francisco community organization that has had a rich legacy of advocacy around issues of language access and educational equity, two areas in which the National Origin Program has partnered with CAA. Noting that recent changes in the political landscape have "forced many Americans to rethink their attitudes about those who come to work and live in this country, and what it means to do the right thing by them," Chris observed that the ongoing push for comprehensive immigration reform was cause for guarded optimism, but that "we and our allies will keep bringing the impact litigation cases we hope will continue to push the law in the right direction for immigrant workers, regardless of what Congress finally does."

Laura McGuill, 22, a 2009 graduate of Refugio High School, headed to Russia on Wednesday, June 5, to compete with the USA Raw World Team in powerlifting.
McGuill currently attends Texas State University where she is working on a degree in Health Information Management. A senior, she plans on graduating next spring.
While she was at Refugio High School, she was named the 2007 and 2008 Powerlifting MVP, and she won the 2009 Lady Cat Fighting Heart Award.
"I got involved in powerlifting my sophomore year of high school after attending a local powerlifting meet as a spectator," McGuill said. "Everything about this sport seemed to give me a feeling of inspiration that I have never felt before."
McGuill credits her coach – William Compton – for her being a better lifter and a better person in life.
"I honestly never knew how strong I was until I gave powerlifting a chance," she said.
McGuill grew up on her family's ranch outside of Refugio. She said she worked with her father beginning at the age of 10.
"I knew that I could lift a feed sack to feed the cattle, load hay bales and even drive a steel post, but I never thought all that hard work would help me get to where I am today," she said.
She was introduced to the USA Powerlifting Federation in 2007 while still in high school.
"I have been lifting with USAPL for seven years now," she said.
And she amassed some championships during those years.
She won the 2011 and the 2012 USAPL National Championships in the Junior Division, as well as various state and local championships throughout the years.
In her travels to compete in powerlifting, she's met some special people.
"One of those amazing people is the man who is now my fiancé. We met at a USAPL meet about five years ago, and he was just helping me out since it was the first meet I had ever been to without my coach," McGuill said.
"He told me he was from San Marcos and lifted at the San Marcos Athletic Club," she said. "We didn't keep in touch or anything while I finished high school, but when I moved to San Marcos to attend Texas State, I remembered the gym he told me about, and I got in touch with him to get some training advice, and our friendship grew from that point on."
McGuill said her fiancé has become a training buddy who "realizes my true potential more than I do."
She said they plan on a fall 2014 wedding.
But first, she will be off to a world competition in Russia.
"Well, I was definitely apprehensive about the idea of going to Russia when I was first asked to compete on Team USA," she said.
"I know that there has always been tension between the United States and Russia, but I also feel like the media has been successful at causing this big hype about Russia," she said.
McGuill said she's researched the countries' relations.
"The United States and Russia will probably always have disagreements, but there has been so much progress to strengthen our relations with Russia," she said. "I am certain that our federation would not send us somewhere that is unsafe. Even in our own country, we see so much crime and violence, more than I have ever seen before, and I don't live in fear. I believe that we still need to be cautious and aware of our surroundings – just as we would in any other place we've never been before."
McGuill said she views the trip as an adventure and a new journey in life.
"I still have so much of the world to see, and I don't plan on letting a little fear get in the way of all those amazing adventures that I have yet to explore," she said.
And that is part of the love she has for powerlifting.
"In my opinion, powerlifting is the ultimate test of an individual's physical and mental strength," she said. "Of course, it takes a lot of hard work to be physically strong, but mental strength is even harder to achieve."
McGuill said being mentally strong is necessary to stay focused during workouts, pushing all doubt and excuses away. She said if she has a rough day at the gym, it's not the end of the world.
"I love everything that powerlifting has taught me about myself. This sport has made me become a hard-working, goal-driven, independent person," she said.
"You can never work hard enough in this sport because there is always someone else out there in the world who is working even harder just to be better than you," she added.
That mental strength has paid off when one considers how much weight McGuill can lift.
"At local meets, my weight class is 132 pounds, and then I drop down to the 125-pound class for national and international meets," she said.
She said powerlifting has another classification besides weight: age. She is in the 20- to 23-year-old classification as well.
She lifts in the Junior and Open divisions (Open has no age requirement).
"I also lift Raw, which means without supportive suits and knee wraps," she said.
"In high school, we started out lifting with thick suits for squat, bench and deadlift, which assist the lifter. In the Raw division we are allowed to wear the following: a non-supportive singlet, T-shirt, wrist wraps, knee sleeves (just for protecting the knees), and supportive shoes (I use Olympic lifting shoes for squat and bench and flat converse for deadlift)."
McGuill's best lifts include the following: squat, 275 pounds; bench press, 145 pounds; and deadlift, 330 pounds.
She currently holds the state and American records for squat, deadlift and total for the Junior 132-pound class. She also has the state squat, bench press, deadlift and total records for the Junior 123-pound class.
Her ability and competitiveness paid off when she qualified at the 2012 August national meet to be on the USA Raw World Team.
"To qualify, a lifter must win first place in his/her weight class and accept the position on the team. I won first place in the Junior 132-pound class last August," she said.
Sadly, McGuill said Texas State University does not have a powerlifting program. So she trains at a gym in San Marcos.
"I lift at a local gym here in San Marcos called San Marcos Athletic Club. We call it SMAC," she said.
She said the gym is the oldest in Texas, having started in 1976.
"There are many powerlifters like myself who train at SMAC; we actually have three powerlifters – myself and two men, who are competing on the USA Raw World Team this June.
She said her coach is Bobby Warren, who owns SMAC.
"I am so grateful to have Bobby as a coach; his expertise in weightlifting, nutrition and rehabilitation has been a lifesaver for me throughout the years," she said.
She also has gratitude for her parents – Tina and Andrew McGuill.
"They have always supported me in everything I do, especially in powerlifting," she said. "I know that I can never thank them enough for all that they do for me, but I hope to make them proud through my accomplishments."
She noted that her 15-year-old brother, Anthony, also has a passion for powerlifting and is on the Refugio High School powerlifting team.
And she knows that other young women would love the sport, too.
"First of all, don't 'think' about it, just do it! Many women are a little intimidated by powerlifting; they think that lifting heavy weights will make them bulky like the professional bodybuilders you see in magazines," McGuill said.
"I can assure you that this will not happen. Don't let anyone tell you or make you believe that you can't be successful in powerlifting."
McGuill said her abilities were doubted numerous times because she is petite.
"You have to be strong enough mentally to push through all the doubts and use that as motivation to get stronger," she said.
Now, McGuill plans on trying out for the USA World Team again in August, being held in Orlando, Fla. The team would compete next year.
"I hope to be competing on the World Team as much as I can. It is so amazing to travel the world doing what I love," she said.
"For me, powerlifting isn't just a sport, it's a lifestyle. I love lifting weights and competing, and I will continue to do so for many years."

Haha yeah it's a thing of the past until next week
I jest I jest.
Bottom line is this:
* Be more active in the thread
* Follow the thread closely (don't skip pages of content)
* Voice your opinion on matters that are being discussed
And 99% of these problems would disappear. Not to mention the thread would be 1/3 of the size since at a guess I'd say a good 50+ pages of this thread is discussion of "shenanigans".
That's not even funny. Your schtick is played son son
You can't be cool if you don't appreciate no Beavis and Butthead.
Can someone add MultipleCrygasms to this chart for me ?
Ummmmm thats not funny. Alright I'm done with this. Lates
you know aside from NVP and dempiffcityallstars this is an incredibly fun and competitive league... I've gotta give props to the whole league for keeping my interest. I'm incredibly busy these days but I am actually making a point of setting my lineups and paying attention, even to the trade offers out there. Honestly I feel like my team is catching fire at just the right time. so it's all good.

Officials say three dogs have been shot over the past two weeks in east-central Iowa's Benton County.
Cedar Rapids television station KCRG says the most recent shooting occurred Monday near Vinton. A driver spotted the wounded dog lying in a ditch.
The dog, Griff, is recovering from the four bullet wounds at Vinton Veterinary Clinic.
Animal control officer Garrett Wittmer says two other dogs have been shot in the area over the past two weeks. He doesn't know whether the same person shot the dogs. All three are expected to recover.
The Benton County Sheriff's Office is investigating. No arrests have been reported.
Wittmer recommended that dog owners keep their animals closer to their homes.

Hello. Can you please offer some help and advice?
My son was born 5 weeks ago in his 27th week of gestation. The hospital helped me start pumping right away so he can be given my milk via his feeding tube. My milk supply started building well around day 3 and then quickly decreased to almost nothing. With the help of a LC, I was able to build it back up to about 280ml per 24 hours. However, it has started decreasing again and I am currently producing about 200ml per 24 hours.
I rent a hospital grade Medela pump. I am drinking herbal tea for lactation and taking malt tablets (called Jemalt). These helped build back my supply after the first decrease but they don't seem to be having much effect now. I do a daily Kangaroo Care session with him for about 1.5 hours, but haven't noticed more milk in pumping sessions after the KC.
I am very worried that my supply will continue to decrease. Or that even if I can keep it at this level, I won't be able to increase it later when he starts eating more. It will still be a month or more before I can try breastfeeding him. Can anyone offer advice? Has anyone successfully kept up supply with only pumping? Any success breastfeeding a baby born this early? I know stressing about it doesn't help but it's something very important to me, since I have to leave a lot of his other care to the nurses and doctors. This is something I can do for him. Thanks for your help.

In the spirit of National Romance Awareness Month (bet you didn't know that!) and because I'm asked this question often, I think it's a good time for a quick refresher course on dating do's and don'ts.
While dating guidelines are somewhat of an unwritten rule, creating the best first (or second) impression is critical.
· Do pay for the first and second dates. It's the gentlemanly thing to do.
· Don't give her your phone number and then leave the ball in her court to call you. Be proactive and ask for hers — confidence is sexy.
· Do call her if you're interested. Texting minimally is fine, but a phone call is best.
· Do be appreciative. Offer to buy dessert or an after-dinner drink somewhere. A trip to Jeni's is a great option!
Good manners and a little extra effort and wooing from both parties won't go unnoticed. Yes, it can feel like a game at times, but it's one worth playing for that ever-elusive feeling of chemistry.
My boyfriend and I were recently at a restaurant and ran into his ex. They didn't speak, but the moment was definitely awkward for all of us. Since then he has been withdrawn and not himself toward me. We have been together for more than a year. I love him and don't want to lose him. But it bothers me that he is thinking about her. What should I do? —Anonymous
The first thing you need to do is check your insecurities at the door. Rushing to judgment or overanalyzing the situation will only lead to greater problems. You have more than a year's time invested in this relationship, and you love him. Stop speculating and think through your approach before you line yourself up to be the next ex.
Wondering what could have been with an ex is normal. Whether he needs a little walk down memory lane or has realized he may need some closure, this is a good thing for the growth of your relationship.
I suggest approaching him calmly and sharing your concern. Remember this is nothing personal and that guys tend to process things differently. His awareness of your concern should open the line of communication. If he doesn't feel like talking yet, remind him tonight why he chose you!

Acupuncture and Allergies
By Health Day
Gesundheit! There's good news from German allergy researchers. A popular alternative treatment may be the ticket to a healthier allergy season.
The study included 4-hundred-22 participants who had pollen allergies and allergic nasal symptoms. They were followed for eight weeks...during two consecutive allergy seasons.
212 were given 12 acupuncture treatments plus antihistamines. 102 got fake acupuncture treatments with antihistamines...while 108 used antihistamines only.
The volunteers who had the real acupuncture treatments reported an overall improvement in their allergic symptoms and were able to cut back on their medication.
Allergic rhinitis...complete with the runny, stuffy nose...impacts approximately 20 percent of the U.S. population.

Officials still ironing out exchange kinksBy Neal P. Goswami
VERMONT PRESS BUREAU | November 05,2013MONTPELIER Shumlin administration officials met with insurance companies Monday to hammer out details on how to execute an extension of a state mandate requiring individuals and small businesses to buy health insurance on the state exchange.
Details remain elusive, but officials said there was some progress Monday evening on several key questions in the wake of Gov. Peter Shumlins surprise announcement Thursday. Robin Lunge, the administrations director of health care reform, said she and others met for three hours and will reconvene again today.
We still have a level of detail that we need to clearly work through, Lunge said. As soon as we have that worked through we plan on issuing some clarification around all of these questions. We know people have a lot of questions but I dont want to prematurely answer and then have to make more decisions.
Administration officials and both of the insurance company teams were planning to continue working independently Monday night, she said, in preparation for todays meeting.
Its been a very collaborative process. When you operationalize something you need to think it through from all angles, Lunge said.
For weeks Shumlin had steadfastly maintained that Vermont Health Connect, the states version of the online exchanges required under the federal Affordable Care Act, was on solid footing. But last week, citing major technical problems with the exchange site, he announced a three-month delay of the mandate.
Vermont is the only state requiring individuals and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees to purchase health insurance on the online insurance marketplace. With the website malfunctioning and the Jan. 1, 2014, coverage deadline approaching, Shumlin chose to exercise a provision in state law to extend it, providing certainty to the 100,000 or so Vermonters who will need to obtain insurance on the exchange.
Both individuals and employers will now be able to maintain current health care plans through March 31, 2014, even if they do not meet the new coverage requirements under ACA.
Shumlin also announced that small businesses can obtain insurance plans for employees directly with Blue Cross Blue Shield and MVP Health Care, the states two insurers.
Under ACA, insurance carriers can be considered agents of the exchange system and sell insurance plans directly to employers, bypassing the need for the exchange site. Shumlin said small businesses choosing this transitional option will make payments to the insurance carriers directly rather than through the exchange.
Extending the deadline raises several questions, though.
For example, it has yet to be determined if deductibles will carry over into the new year. The two insurance carriers stand to lose money if deductibles are allowed to extend into the new year.
It will have financial implications, thats for sure. But thats just speculation at this point because I dont know if thats whats intended, Kevin Goddard, vice president of external affairs for BCBS, said ahead of Mondays meeting. Its hard to assess what the financial implications are because we really dont know what the details are yet.
Whether new insurance cards will be issued for extended plans that would have previously expired before the mandate was extended remains unclear. And how payment for insurance plans will be processed must also be determined.
Goddard said BCBS officials are hoping to finalize plans with the state over the mandate extension this week.
Certainly we hope within the next several days to have these details worked out because we need to communicate them and implement them, he said.
BCBS and MVP could also face losses because some of the insurance rates approved by the state for 2014 are higher than 2013 coverage plans. Extending the existing insurance plans could mean a loss.
Despite the potential financial implications, Goddard said the focus remains on delivering health insurance to Vermonters.
I know the focus of Blue Cross, and I believe the focus of MVP and the state, is ensuring there is no interruption of coverage in all of this, he said.
Meanwhile, BCBS is not seeking any permanent changes to Vermont law to allow small businesses to purchase plans offered on the exchange directly from insurers permanently beyond the March 31, 2014 extension. Some opponents of Vermont Health Connect have called for such a change.
The state made those policy decisions two years ago, Goddard said. We are not thinking about that at all. Our overriding focus is weve got between 60,000 and 80,000 Vermonters between us to ensure that their coverage is not interrupted and get them onto these new exchange plans in the next few months. ... We havent spent a minute on going back to the Legislature and asking them to rethink the policy on this.
Susan Gretkowski, senior government affairs strategist for MVP, deferred all questions Monday evening to Lunge.
We worked through a number of issues and were still working with the state, she said.

Hoping I can still find help
I bought my iRiver H120 in Jan of 2004, and since then it has been one of the best investments I have ever made. This thing STILL has good battery life! Most recently I started having a little problem with it, though. I turn it on and it shows it is "Connected" as if when I have it plugged into a computer. Thing is, it isn't plugged into anything. If I plug it into the computer nothing happens, but if I reset it while it is plugged in, the harddrive is recognized and I can work with it. I was running the original firmware, so I thought maybe I needed to upgrade. I did, and nothing. Then I formatted the drive and installed Rockbox. Same thing. Finally reformatted and reinstalled the original firmware.
The problem is that I can't use the buttons when it is in the "Connected" screen...so I have to reset and push the power button jsut to make sure this thing doesn't keep spinning and spinning and eventually die from no battery. Any advice? Anyone? Where can I look? The other forum no longer exists, and honestly this thing still is in GREAT shape...just this one glitch. Please help, and thanks in advance.

I used to do a fair bit over at the Misticriver site with the H1xx's and I cant recall any one having a always connected problem on H120.
The H3xx series used to have the problem and there was a workaround for it though I have no idea if it'd work on , or damage , your H120 as the h3xx had usb charging.
Here's a link to the H3xx thread from MR from internet archives wayback machine http://web.archive.org/web/200810132...cted-prob.html .
I'd use this method with caution though as it did at times reduce the battery life of the player and there's no telling what it might do to a h1xx.
The problem may be caused by a faulty component which would require a replacement part or possibly there's power leaking across the circuit board which is giving a signal that its connected. This can be caused by dust , corrosion or any conducting foreign material .
I'd try removing the covers and blowing the board down with a can of compressed air and then some contact cleaner. Avoid spraying the LCD with contact cleaner just to be safe.
One other thing that used to give trouble on the H1xx'x is the connection between the mother and daughter boards (I seem to have forgotten the problem this caused though). But while the covers are off you could try applying a small amount of pressure to the daughter board and see if it makes any difference.
The quick fix for this was to put a small amount of packing on the board to keep the pressure on once reassembled. Or, if you've got the gear and know how to do SMD soldering you can resolder the pins on the connectors.
Hope this was of some assistance.

From the small screen to the sequel, the "Sex and the City" franchise has inspired women everywhere to consider cutting-edge ideas from the catwalk. So in honor of "Sex and the City 2," where style itself plays a starring role yet again, TODAY style editor and Bobbie.com's Bobbie Thomas is here to help you dare to wear fashions that push the envelope. So without further ado, here's a flash into the future of what you may wear next time you step out with the girls:
Day glow
Carrie would surely agree that in coming years, fashion will rely not only on trends but technology. While you may not want to break the bank on the $2,500 light-up Jimmy Choos Fergie recently rocked, or be ready for the spotlight-stealing gown Katy Perry wore to the Met Gala, you can still shine like a star. Get inspired by that Carrie Bradshaw confidence (remember when she went clubbing in fluorescent underwear?) and revisit neon this summer. Balance the burst of color with a classic ensemble. Wear white denim with a striped tee and layer a highlighter yellow tank underneath to give nautical a new look. Even if you opt for an electric shade of nail polish to accent your outfit, fashion's forecast is looking bright. (Shelly Steffee mesh top, $39.99, Loehmanns.com; Oonagh by Nanette Lepore Bret striped tank, $68, Revolveclothing.com; Clean skinny jeans, $79, Kennethcole.com)
Chic shorts
(Leather shift dress, $79.99, Spiegel.com; Camelia necklace, $73.50, Chicos.com; Bottega Veneta suede wedge sandal, Dsw.com)
Samantha Jones offers women a sexy yet strong voice. We could easily see the fearless favorite of the four slipping into the lingerie looks that dominated the runways at Dior and Dolce & Gabbana. Soft, silky tap shorts once reserved for the boudoir are making a style statement and, dare I say, becoming the new mini. When paired with a chic, structured classic such as the blazer, even the most delicate fabrics can look sophisticated for everything from cosmos to conferences.

(Leather shift dress, $79.99, Spiegel.com; Camelia necklace, $73.50, Chicos.com; Bottega Veneta suede wedge sandal, Dsw.com)
All-weather leather
Women today not only work, but work it year-round — so practical personalities like Miranda, who looks at her wardrobe for both fashion and function, will support the seasonless style wave we've been riding. This look is all about all-weather leather. What was once a faux pas for anything but fall is now being lightened up and refined for warmer months, thanks to advances in modern manufacturing. You can find luxe-looking synthetics in new hues — from pretty pink to soft neutrals — or stick with classic black. And bonus, shop the sale racks for a deal on a fall dress! Either way, springtime leather makes a fresh, striking statement, especially when you add the contrast of organic accessories. (Signature blazer, $39-$79, Erynbrinie.com; BCBGeneration coral tank, $58, Rachel by Rachel Roy scalloped trim shorts, $79, Macys.com; AK Anne Klein Iflex nude wedge, $59.99, Dsw.com)
Socks and the city
And last but not least, Charlotte and her ladies who lunch can embrace a nostalgic throwback to ladylike silhouettes. A softer, fuller skirt is a way to nod back in time to 1950s femininity and can be flattering on almost any body type. But it's the unexpected combination of socks with sandals or stilettos seen on celebrities that actually offers us some fashion foreshadowing. While Prada sent cable-knit knee-highs down their Fall 2010 runway, sheer ankle peds with a pretty pump or kitten heel will make a playful, sweet statement this summer. (Pink T-shirt, floral skirt, $12.90-$59.90, Zara.com; Anklet socks, $8, Jessicasimpsoncollection.com; Captivat Blush pumps, $79.95, SteveMadden.com)
