With all the advancements lately in the photography world, the ability to perform tasks like focus stacking has been off-shored to built in algorithms in specialized cameras, in post production software (i.e. Photoshop, Lightroom, Aperture, Helicon Focus, and a host of others that have now flooded the market.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for making things easier, and improving ones workflow, but I do still ascribe to the theory of learning certain fundamentals and essentials for building your photography skills both in composition, and just to understand the mechanics of photography. With that in mind, I'd like to devote a bit of time to discuss the task of focus stacking.
Focus Stacking Versus HDR
First off, focus stacking is used mostly in genres like macro photography, where intricate detail is needed across a range wider than what the aperture will allow for during composition. The principle is much like the layered approach to HDR imagery – where you stack layers of images with different compositions on top of each other and blend the right portions through the entire image.
Where focus stacking differs from HDR is the types of images that you are layering. In HDR images, you are overlaying images with different exposure values over one another. In focus stacking, you are not changing the exposure values, rather just the point of focus. As depth of field drops off both in front of and behind your focusing point, the subject will blur. While this may be an appreciated blurring technique in some cases, in other cases, getting different depths of field from different focusing points can make for a tack sharp macro throughout the range of the subject.
As is most often the case, explaining a photography concept is best done with images, so let's take a look at an example. For easy demonstration, I took a white cordless phone and placed it on a black background. This way color issues are kept to a minimum…
Notice on the first focusing point, the sharpest point is right near the front? It also quickly drops off into the background as I was shooting at f2.8 The low aperture number means I will have a very shallow depth of field, which is what is causing the blurred background. To bring the rest of it into focus, I need to "stack" more shots that have a different point of focus. So, let's add another few to the composite:
The end result from stacking all these together can be accomplished by any one of a number of methods ranging from the most time-consuming of doing it manually inside Lightroom or Photoshop, and the most efficient one of using 3rd party software. While several options do exist, the one that has become pretty much the industry standard is that of Helicon Focus! Their quality of processing is, bar none, among the best I've seen.
In the meantime, here's the result of an image that has been focus-stacked:
It's a quick edit, and done with only having focus-stacked 5 images. If I wanted a really detailed depth of field on something more important than a cordless phone from circa 1990's, I'd likely have taken at least 10-15 images and massaged them through Helicon Focus more carefully.
For a behind-the-scenes footage video, stop over to the Facebook page! (Be sure to "like" it and share a comment while you are there…)
If you really want to go hip deep into focus stacking and macro photography, there's a great book by Julian Cremona called Extreme Close Up Photography and Focus Stacking available on Amazon. Good read, and really takes this subject to the Nth degree!

This was a long day. Our guide was fantastic and we saw a great deal. However, we were not given an opportunity to explore and barter the shops seen as we were rushed through the the streets. We did pause at several stations of the cross. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is fascinating and well worth the visit. While I accept the "game" of the tour company to channel us to the stores that best benefit the guides, I do not care for the practice.Read CorgiNole's full Nautica cruise review

Overall very good. We saw all the sights described within the time scheduled about 12 hours. There was some time before hitting the 12th hour, and the guide used that time to ask the driver to drive us up to the hill in Haifa to get a good view of the city and shore line. Buffet lunch was good. A bathroom break between Haifa and Old Jerusalem, bathroom break at lunch, and a bathroom break on the way back to the port of Haifa. Shopping time was short and it was a good thing. However, the guide only brought us to just one store. I wish he had brought us to an area with a few stores. A bit surprise that the guide asked for tip as the cruise line description does not indicate a tip would be asked. And the driver tried to sell us a book+DVD.Read caseum's full Riviera cruise review

1981 NCAA Div. III champions
CEDAR RAPIDS—It took 53 years, but the Central College men's cross country team made it look easy Saturday, using a dominant performance to capture an elusive Iowa Conference championship for the first time in the program's history. Dutch runners took the top three spots as sophomore Eli Horton (Runnells, Southeast Polk HS) claimed the individual title and was among four Central runners to earn all-league honors.
Central's women finished fourth.
Dutch men sweep top three spots—The Central men used strong front running to establish the tone from the start. Horton led the 8,000-meter race wire-to-wire and crossed the line in a time of 25 minutes, 21.5 seconds. He was Central's first league champion since all-American Andy Goodman captured his second title in 1994.
"It's been almost 20 years since Central has had an individual winner," said coach Joe Dunham. "We're really proud of the way Eli ran today. He deserved it."
Freshman Cole Decker (Des Moines, West Des Moines Dowling HS) ran alongside Horton over the first two miles of the race while the two separated themselves from the peloton. Even after Horton asserted his lead, Decker kept his distance from the rest of the pack and finished with a time of 25:36.6.
"For Cole to be the runner-up as a freshman was big," said Dunham. "He's been running like a veteran all season long and today was no exception."
Drew Jackson (sophomore, Johnston) completed the 1-2-3 sweep for the Dutch with a superb second-half effort, moving into third place late in the race and holding off a series of runners on the final stretch (25:43.1). Austin O'Brien (junior, Bettendorf, Pleasant Valley HS) was Central's fourth all-league honoree, crossing the line in ninth place (25:53.5). Brent Ewing (junior, Cincinnati, Centerville HS) took 18th as Central's fifth runner, while Sloan Beninga (freshman Stout, Dike-New Hartford HS) and Cody Doughan (junior, Bettendorf, Pleasant Valley HS) rounded out the Dutch varsity squad in 21st (26:25.7) and 29th (26:44.1) respectively.
"It's one thing to be the favorite going into the meet," said Dunham. "It's an entirely different thing to actually win it. I give the runners all the credit."
Their effort totaled 33 points, the lowest total since Luther's 29 points in 2009. Defending champion Loras scored 50 points for second, followed by Luther (70), Wartburg (108), Simpson (113), Coe (172), Buena Vista (202), and Dubuque (238).
Horton was named the league most valuable performer while Dunham was tabbed the coach of the year.
"I'm proud that we were able to bring a trophy back to Pella," said Dunham. "It's a great thing for our program and for all of the program's alumni."
McDermott leads women—Senior Mel McDermott (Britt, West Hancock HS) paced the Dutch effort again Saturday, earning her first all-conference medal with an 11th-place finish. She covered the 6,000-meter course in a time of 23:05.7.
"To be threatening a top-10 spot in our conference is impressive," said Dunham. "It is a very strong women's field and it was nice to see Mel up on the awards stand. It's been a long time coming."
Emma Nelson (junior, Pekin) was the second Central runner across the line in 17th (23:40.9), narrowly missing all-league recognition. Shelby Mendoza (junior, Norwalk) and Alyssa Eaves (sophomore, Johnston) were next for the Dutch in 20th (23:47.5) and 22nd (23:55.4) respectively. Amanda Dunkin (junior, Pella) finished 26th (24:20.7), Mallory Welk (sophomore, De Pere, Wis.) was 29th (24:57), and Molly Bramble (freshman, Waukee) rounded out the Dutch varsity in 33rd (25:09.6).
"I thought the women really competed hard today," said Dunham. "We were hoping to do a little better in the team standings, but we can't be disappointed with the effort."
Wartburg won the team title with 21 points while Luther took runner-up honors with 38 points. Loras accumulated 87 points for third, with Central close behind totaling 96 points. Dubuque was fifth (159), followed by Simpson (174), Coe (208), and Buena Vista (246). Wartburg's Alana Enabnit took the individual title in a time of 21:24.6.
With the conference meet in the books, the Dutch will turn their attention towards the Central Region championships Nov. 10 in Northfield, Minn. The men placed ninth in 2011 while the women were 12th.
"We're looking forward to getting up there and competing," said Dunham. "The St. Olaf course is a favorite of many of the athletes. As always, we have high expectations."

Later on we walked way down to the end of the mall to meet up with a ranger to take a walking tour focusing on the "Home Front" during WWII. We couldn't find the ranger in the near pitch dark and joined the many tourists walking in the WWII Memorial. We viewed the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument lit up at night and walked home.
There is so much to do in this town...no end to available museums, lectures, plays, and concerts. There are tons of places to walk and scores of restaurants. We are having trouble choosing what to do when!
Saturday morning we attended a very interesting Smithsonian lecture on the development of US power, from "Colony to Superpower" by three history professors. We sat next to a young man in the foreign service; he is home between an assignment in Iraq and a posting to Pakistan. When we asked him about his posting he said: "I could have asked for somewhere like Vienna, but Pakistan is where diplomacy is actually happening." We wished him luck. Imagine our surprise to find our next door neighbor from Westford sitting a row behind us; Barbara has retired from Raytheon, gone to law school and is moving to DC permanently. When we left the building we were deciding on a lunch spot when who should walk by but our niece! She and her colleagues had just finished the Aids Walk. She needed to go home but she called our nephew and he came and joined us and Barbara for lunch. We had arranged to meet friends from Westford for dinner and the theatre and we attended "Romeo and Juliet" at the new Harman Shakespeare Theatre. This production had all the womens' roles played by men; the Nurse and the other "women" were great, but someone needs to talk to Juliet about her 5 o'clock shadow.
Sunday morning The Girl slept late and then joined The Boy at the Sculpture Garden to read the Sunday Washington Post.
The Boy went home for a nap but the Girl then went to the Sackler Gallery and saw three exhibits: opalescent pastels of the Maine seacoast with time of day and weather effects by Tryon; lovely ocean black and white gelatin print photographs by Sugimoto; and three very large pieces, including two portraits, by Y. Z. Kami. The Sackler is near this beautiful garden behind the Smithsonian Castle.
Sunday night we met our niece and nephew for dinner in Cleveland Park. He is doing well as a law clerk for an apellate judge and she is superbusy at her job. She has just returned from a trip overseas to spend time with their group there that supplies HIV/AIDS medications and supplies.
Monday we walked over to the Newseum. It is a museum dedicated to the history and interpretation of journalism. Four hours there barely scratched the surface and we plan to go back again. Among the many fascinating exhibits is a video on media bias.

Ahhh operators, you gotta luv 'em. Just as it seems consumer behavior is really benefiting from the introduction of true smartphones and cheap 'all you can eat' mobile tariffs, they go and throw a spanner in the works.
O2 have just announced the end of its 'unlimited' tariff for smartphone users, this follows Vodafone last month and no doubt Orange will follow suit soon enough. Any new or upgrading customers will be shoved onto the new plans, existing customers keep the same tariff, but hey, you gotta upgrade sometime right?
There are a number of reasons floating around as what caused this change, one of them involves Apple. They've basically said to operators (these are my words) "Stop fucking offering 'unlimited' tariffs with the iPhone when you write "subject to fair usage' in small print at the bottom of contracts, you anti-innovation bastards".
However the O2 Chief Executive Ronan Dunne has stated another reason – they are seeing data traffic doubling every four months, this means their 'flat fee' tariffs aren't making them any money if everyone is canning it more and more. Dunne reveals some interesting results about how this consumption is happening, apparently 97% of O2 smartphone users actually use less than 500MB per month and a tiny fraction use more than 1GB (0.1%). This means a small percentage of 'super users' are ruining it for everyone else by putting strain on the network, resulting in the new capped tariffs.
But wait! By the figures O2 reveal doesn't that mean that someone who uses less than 500MB today, will in fact be way, way over that number by the end of their 12/18 month contract as usage is doubling every 4 months?
He had this to say:
"But at the same time, we'll start to change customer perceptions about the value of the data they use; a vital part of ensuring that people share it responsibly and considerately."
That is exactly the kind of attitude that stunts innovation, do you think we'd be in this great position today where people don't second guess how much they pay to view a video or use an app if we still had limits and charged per megabyte? All these awesome trends we're seeing with apps, social networks, location etc would never of happened. I know operators are seeing very little return from the iPhone/Android eco-system, they make no money while developers and Apple make millions, but this is the wrong move. Changing customer perceptions back to the old days? Pssh.
Now back to the original point of this post, The Guardian writer Charles Arthur puts forward a really interesting argument to what the hell these 0.1% of super users could be doing to download gigabytes of data every month. He thinks it's caused by P2P users who are worried about the new Digital Economy Act and have now switched their illegal downloading to their mobiles to avoid being tracked by the government/ISP and getting 'three strikes'. Those users are supposedly taking the SIM out of their phones and sticking in a dongle to download their movies, albums and what not. As he says "the tiny number of P2P mobile downloaders are screwing it up for everyone else."
Couple of things wrong with this argument, Arthur makes the assumption that these users are smart:
"someone who's using their iPhone SIM as a dongle really isn't worried about upgrading; they've probably got a PAYG SIM stuffed into their iPhone for their phone calls. They're not stupid."
If these guys aren't stupid, why the hell would they using their phones for P2P downloads? Surely they would be using VPN's, Proxies and dozens of other Digital Economy Act avoidance tricks are much less hassle than having your SIM out of your phone and actually cost a lot less than a dongle. Some methods here revealed by a 5 second Google search.
So now that we've established that anyone with a brain wouldn't use their phone for trying to avoid the Digital Economy Act, what are these users doing? Oh, this is so easy …
Come on now, had you forgotten about the old king of the internet before Facebook was around? What do you think happens when phones get bigger screens, faster internet and superior video-watching ability? Yes that's right, people use them to watch porn from free online streaming sites like Xvideos, Redtube and probably a million more, aaand wouldn't you know, the two I mentioned have mobile sites too, here and here (warning: porn). In fact just add 'mobile' or 'm' to any porn site, they're probably mobile optimised.
I figured I better try and back up my argument with some facts:
An article from 2008 –
"In the last six months internet searches for iPhone porn have increased nearly fivefold according to Google Trends"
"It's by far the porn-friendliest phone," Devan Cypher, representative for San Francisco-based Sin City Entertainment, told Time magazine.
and those are out-dated! Think about where we are today.
So there you have it…my conclusion is that the 0.1% downloading over 1GB every month are simply….massive wankers.

California Retirement Management Account (CARMA) is a non-profit, charitable organization created to raise money for retired California racehorses. Founded in late 2007, it is run by an independent board of directors, chaired by creator Madeline Auerbach. CARMA is responsible for hosting fundraising events, educating owners and trainers on equine retirement, raising awareness, and working to unify the industry in support of our equine athletes.
In addition, CARMA worked with the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB) to adopt a rule change allowing for a 0.3% deduction from purses to help fund equine retirement. This deduction, one owners can opt-out of, will be used to help support equine retirement farms and other non-profit programs that care for and retrain retired Thoroughbred racehorses. Owners can obtain opt-out forms at any of the paymaster offices in California or at www.chrb.ca.gov.
CARMA also manages a grant request process and disburses funds to qualified retirement facilities caring for such horses. CARMA is dedicated to the goal of providing funding for the rehabilitation, retraining and/or retirement of Thoroughbred horses that have raced in California. It is only through the cooperation and assistance of the entire industry that this can be accomplished.
A 501(c )(3) fundraizing charity, CARMA actively seeks contributions from the racing and general community. Donations are tax deductable and may be sent to: CARMA, PO Box 1086, Sierra Madre, CA 91025-9086. (Tax ID #80-0146395).

Authorities Say Oklahoma Homeowner Kills Female Intruder
By Associated Press • Sep 15, 2012
VINSON, Okla. (AP) — The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation says a Harmon County man shot and killed a woman who had broken into his home.
The agency says the man was awakened from sleep Thursday afternoon when three women broke into his home in Vinson in an apparent burglary attempt.
The OSBI says the man shot and killed 50-year-old Mary Sanders of Elk City while the other two women fled. Investigators say the two women were later arrested in Beckham County.
The agency says the dead woman had once worked for the home owner.
The homeowner's name was not released.

By Dave Wagner: Freedom Newspapers
With her team down 10 points, St. Edward's women's coach Jennifer White issued a challenge. Her team responded with a dominant second-half performance.
In a game of runs, the Hilltoppers made the final one, outscoring Eastern New Mexico University 20-2 to take control en route to a 60-52 victory Saturday night at Greyhound Arena.
Senior guard Jennifer Knight scored 27 points and sophomore post Tammy Bartosh added 16 points and 10 rebounds for St. Ed's (3-4), which outscored the Zias 31-13 over the final 15 1/2 minutes.
"When we got down in the second half, we challenged our team," White said. "We said, 'It's either do or die.' I thought our team responded well."
St. Ed's, which has lost twice to Angelo State and beaten Abilene Christian and Southeastern Oklahoma in previous games against Lone Star Conference teams this season, won this game with its rebounding and with aggressive defense, White said.
"We haven't played a team that's not good," she said. "I'm hoping that'll help us when we get into (Heartland Conference) play."
ENMU got a career-high 28 points from senior post Tiana Bryant on 12-of-19 shooting. Bryant finished one short of her high in rebounds, grabbing 15.
But the Zias, who edged Texas A&M-Commerce 66-63 at home on Thursday, are trying to adjust to playing without three regulars lost for the season to recent knee injuries. In addition, junior guard Missy Kirkland missed both games this weekend with an ankle injury suffered on Monday in practice.
ENMU coach Dan Buzard, though, gave credit to the Hilltoppers.
"I thought that team played hard and played well," he said. "I thought they came out to win the game, and we just came out to play. We didn't play with the heart or hustle we needed against a team that scrappy."
The Zias answered an opening basket by St. Ed's Sara Baca with 10 consecutive points before the Toppers countered with a 16-0 run over 8 1/2 minutes that featured consecutive 3-pointers by Bartosh, Baca and Knight.
Knight's baseline shot with 3:51 left made it 25-21, but the Zias held St. Ed's scoreless the rest of the half in building a four-point lead. Baskets by Bryant, Heather Brown and Brittney Gillespie when play resumed extended the run to 14-0 pushed the margin to 35-25 less than three minutes into the second half, and Bryant made it 39-29 with a driving shot at the 15:46 mark.
But the Zias struggled after that as the Toppers began to take away their top scoring options in Bryant and Brown, who finished with 12 points.
"He's had injuries," White said, referring to Buzard, "but their other kids that came in played great. When you have injuries like that, it's hard."
With finals scheduled this week, the Zias don't play again until back-to-back games Dec. 19-20 at Alaska-Anchorage .
Buzard said he hopes to have Kirkland back by then.
"She'll be able to help us," he said. "She'll give us more scoring and quickness."

Nepotism in county government; visitors association in the crosshairs
Personnel officer Carolyn Hill said that because many county employees are covered by civil service regulations, there are restrictions as to the limits the legislature could impose on employees. She said, for example, if an employee has the qualifications for a certain position, the employee could not be blocked from consideration simply because a relative might work in the same department.
She added, however, that the New York State Comptroller had a model code of ethics that prohibits a supervisor from "participating in the hiring, firing or disciplining of a relative or supervising a relative."
Facebook and bullying
The issue arose because Lynda Levine, the county director of human resources, said she was working on an update of the employee handbook. It was initially created in 2005 and was updated in 2007, but it was never formally adopted by the county.
Beyond the issue of nepotism, Levine asked the legislature if they were interested in developing a policy regarding Facebook and other social media to guard against the reputation of the county being harmed should an employee post something negative.
Benson asked if she was referring to county computers or home computers. She answered "both," and said the legislature could formulate a policy regarding social media to protect the county's reputation should it choose to do so.
Also, she asked if the legislature wanted to develop a policy regarding bullying, which would cover everyone, unlike the policy regarding harassment, which only covers protected classes, such as minorities.
Sandy Shaddock, a union representative for Teamsters Local 445, which includes hundreds of county employees, said, "The bullying throughout this county is rampant; it is definitely a problem. At least 20% to 30% of my calls get diverted to Carolyn Hill as a hostile work environment issue because there is nothing in the contract that deals with bullying."
The legislature took no action on any of the issues raised.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — North Carolina regulators cited Duke Energy yesterday, saying the utility deliberately dumped 61 million gallons of toxic coal-ash waste into a tributary of the Cape Fear River, which provides drinking water for several cities and towns in the state.
The state Department of Environment and Natural Resources said the utility, which is responsible for a huge spill from a different coal-ash containment pond on Feb. 2, had illegally pumped the ash from two ponds at its Cape Fear plant in Moncure, N.C., and into a canal that feeds into the Cape Fear River.
Regulators said they caught Duke pumping the toxic ash on March 11, one day after an environmental group took aerial photographs of what it said were pumps illegally dumping the waste.

Simply gold-standard, clinically proven, patented ingredients were utilized, at medically proven dosages. The experts accomplished their goal.
Upon release, this formulation was dispensed only to physicians. Physicians across the nation were happy with the patient health outcomes achieved from this digestive enzyme and probiotics supplement.
Patients showed amazing results with such varied illnesses and conditions as: IBS, Crohns, Ulcerative Colitis, Gluten Sensitivity, Lactose Sensitivity, along with even more generalized digestive conditions displaying signs of bloating, discomfort, and indigestion.
A Purely Scientific representative notes, "Of course, individuals and individual feedback vary and no single person's response can be exactly promised. Nonetheless, given the huge clinical studies and success currently achieved, somebody experiencing digestive problems would be smart to try this proven digestive enzyme."
Available now on Amazon, the coupon KMZ76L9Y may be redeemed for a 70% discount for the month of January, while supplies last.

how bout if the hawks sign him to a deal and trade him and delk to us for james? a possible move, which i think gives us a veteran backcourt to close games out and get stops
The dollar amounts have changed, but the rhetoric is still the same from the Latrell Sprewell camp a year after the shooting guard turned down a three-year, $21 million contract extension offer from the Minnesota Timberwolves. Nearly a month into the season, Sprewell, who infamously explained his rejection of Minnesota's overture by saying he had "a family to feed," is unemployed and, according to his agent, willing to sit out the season rather than play for the NBA veteran's minimum of $1.1 million. "Anyone who thinks he should play for that, that's absurd," Sprewell's representative, Bob Gist, told SI.com this week. "He might as well retire."
"Latrell doesn't need the money that badly. To go from being offered $7 million to taking $1 million, that would be a slap in the face."
Gist said he considers the offer rejected last year a fair one. "The Timberwolves' offer was close to a [fair] valuation," he said. (Sprewell averaged 12.8 points and 2.2 assists in 80 games for the T'wolves in 2004-05.) "If you look at his stats, I think $7 million - $10 million [per year] is what veterans like him are commanding."

how bout if the hawks sign him to a deal and trade him and delk to us for james? a possible move, which i think gives us a veteran backcourt to close games out and get stops
i wouldnt like that, and the problem with that is, it gives us more roster problems and more spots for larry to **** around with
he has to feed his kids, retiring is not an option
knicks should keep an eye out for this guy he can help us alot. money doesnt matter so wh dont they take a chance
because we should be concentating on creating chemistry and developing a rotation for our current players, instead of bringing in new ones.
I think he'll retire...and if he doesn't, him going to the knicks wouldn't be a good idea...he's a veteran now and this is not the player we need...

Don't Bite Me Patch Don't Bite Me Bug Patches 5 patches
These innovative patches contain only Vitamin B1 and Aloe. Vitamin B1 when metabolized by the body reduces human odors attractive to insects. The Thiamin (Vitamin B1) based formula is absorbed into the bloodstream through this topical patch and excess B1 is then excreted through the skin's pores. This makes a slight odor that is almost undetectable to humans but keeps insects away.Vitamin B1 is good for the nervous system digestion muscles and heat and alcohol-damaged nervous tissue. The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of Vitamin B1 is 1.4 mg per day. As Vitamin B1 is water-soluble any excess you may consume is safely excreted in urine and sweat. Aloe is added as an anti-inflammatory and soothing ingredient for itches and burns on the skin.How to Apply: A topical patch is an adhesive patch that is placed on the skin to deliver a time-released dose of active ingredients through th

The estate of Mario Puzo, the author of The Godfather, has settled its suit with Paramount Pictures over royalties from The Godfather: The Game (video game). Puzo's estate claimed it was owed profits from sales and rentals of the game. On Friday an agreement was reached so the case won't go to trial.
"We think it's a terrific settlement," Puzo estate's attorney Bert Fields told Yahoo.
The terms of the settlement were not revealed. It's also unknown at this time whether the agreement was reached after several large men in fedoras showed up at Paramounts offices and calmly explained that the settlement offer was one that Paramount could not refuse.

The term breakout can be used to describe multiple situations.
For a long time veteran who never quite reached their MLB potential, a breakout season could be one where they finally perform to the level they were expected. Whether they achieve a new level of success in the big leagues or record high statistical numbers around the board, a breakout season for a vet could make the difference between being a bench player or an everyday guy.
For a rookie, a breakout season can be the same as above. The player can have great stats or replicate stellar minors performances on their way to big league stardom, but a rookie can also breakout in another way. In some ways, a rookie who breaks into the league is already having a breakout season as they are breaking out in the form of reaching the level of major league baseball.
For a guy with a few years major league experience, a breakout year could mean moving up a level in stardom from an average player to a star. It could be having a year like Jose Bautista did in 2010 by discovering power he or the league didn't even know existed. It could even be as simple as bettering what is expected based on previous seasons and minor league experience.
Whatever the reason, any player, even a star, is capable of having a breakout season. Whether it be a handful of guys achieving rookie success, two pitchers who never really lived up to expectations, or a few stars in the making who are ready to make their mark on the league, here are 15 guys in no particular order who could have big seasons in 2012.

AIM: The aim of this study was to conduct a retrospective clinical and pathological analysis of the authors' 20-year experience on treatment of typical and atypical carcinoid tumours.
METHODS: A retrospective clinical and pathological analysis was conducted on 89 patients treated for bronchial carcinoid neoplasms at the Division of Thoracic Surgery, Hospital of Florence (Italy) between January 1986 and January 2006. They were 47 male (52.8%) and 42 female patients, age ranging from 22 to 77 years (average: 55.5 years). Diagnosis was made with radiological methods such as plain chest roentgenography, computed tomography (CT), and bronchoscopy. On the basis of bronchoscopic findings 63 carcinoids (70.8%) were centrally located and 26 (29.2%) were classified as peripheral. In 38 cases of central lesion the diagnosis was obtained by endobronchial biopsy. A correct pathological diagnosis was obtained before surgery in 58 patients; in the others resected cases the correct diagnosis was determined by intraoperative histology during surgery. All operation were performed through a thoracotomy, with sparing muscle in last ten years. Surgical procedures utilized were lobectomy, pneumonectomy, segmentectomy, wedge resections, sleeve resections and bronchoplastic procedures. A radical mediastinal lymphadenectomy was performed in every operation.
RESULTS: There were 63 (70.8%) typical carcinoid (TC) and 26 (29,2%) atypical carcinoid (AC). No operative or postoperative mortality was seen. Ten patients (11.7%) experienced complications: 4 prolonged air leaks, 2 bleeding requiring re-operation, 1 chylothorax, 1 pulmonary embolism, 2 late cicatricial bronchial stenosis after sleeve lobectomy treated successfully by laser therapy. Four patients (4.5%) were treated with endoscopy plus surgery. In all that patients a Laser Nd-YAG coagulation and excision of the lesion was performed. Four patients (4.5%) were treated only with endoscopy, overall because of bad general condition. On the basis of the hystopatological documentation of all patients operated before 1999 (60 patients) the authors observed that in 4 cases (6.6%) the diagnosis has changed from AC to TC while only 1 case (1.6%) of AC was classified as TC with new criterias. During median 122-month follow-up 7 relapses (8.2%) were diagnosed in operated patients; recurrent cancer developed preferentially in AC (N=4, 16.6%) than TC (N=3, 4.9%). The overall survival at 10 and 15 years was 92% and 82% respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: Anatomical resection, including formal lobectomy (or pneumonectomy when indicated) and radical mediastinal lymphadenectomy, should be performed in carcinoid tumours.

The NC State men's basketball team plays Florida at 3 p.m. Sunday at the RBC Center, and the game will be nationally televised on Fox Sports South. The sideline reporter for the game will be one of our own: Debbie Mulligan Anontelli '86, a Cary native and a three-year starting guard on the NC State women's basketball team. In fact, she'll be the sideline reporter for most of the Sunday ACC basketball games that will air on Fox Sports South this season and will provide much of the color commentary for the televised ACC women's basketball games.
Antonelli, who was a double major in economics and business management, also calls games for the Big 12 and SEC, among others; has been the radio analyst for the CBS/NCAA Radio Network for the past 13 Women's Final Fours; and co-hosts with Beth Mowins a weekly 30-minute podcast, "Shootaround with Beth & Debbie," that focuses on women's college basketball. During the off-season, Antonelli runs basketball camps and clinics during the off-season in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., where she resides with her husband, Frank, and their three children (Joey, Frankie and Patrick). "Everything is basketball," she says, "and I would be remiss not to mention the influence and the impact that Coach [Kay] Yow had on me, professionally and as a mom and as a wife."
Antonelli played under Coach Yow from 1982 to 1986 and is a member of the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund's board of directors. She took time to speak with us before the holidays about her career.
How did you get into broadcasting?
I got my master's in sports administration from Ohio University, and I felt like I was on a track headed toward being an athletic director. That's why I was in external affairs, marketing and fund-raising, because I felt like those were the skills you had to have to be a really good athletic director. . . . So I was headed toward that, but when I had the opportunity to do the basketball, I loved it. . . . When I left Kentucky and went to Ohio State, when I got there, they did not have a local TV package for their women. So being the director of marketing in the athletics department at Ohio State, I went to the local cable company in Columbus and I asked them if they could produce sports and they weren't sure. And I said, "Well, put a figure together and tell me what it would cost to do eight women's basketball games." They gave me that figure, and as the director of marketing, I went out and sold advertising to pay for the production of eight women's basketball games, and I got to do the games. Essentially, I was able to create my own opportunity but . . . . And when I was at Ohio State, I started to get some offers on a regional level. ESPN would call; other places would call. At this time, there are not a lot of women's basketball games on television. There's very few opportunities and there are very few places where you could actually find work. And I sort of created my own opportunities to stay in broadcasting. . . . It has worked out better than I could have ever imagined.
Why basketball?
I just love the spirit of competition, and I love being there to watch teams cut down the net after championships. I know how hard they – the coaches and the players — had to work to get there. . . .I can't remember any time in my life that I hasn't had basketball in it. As a player, as a coach, as an administrator, and as a broadcaster, I have been able to see the game from many different angles. I love seeing people get better at their craft. I love going to a college environment; I love going to campus and watching teams practice. I love watching film and tape. I'm constantly learning something new about the game every day. I'm a basketball junkie – a true definition of it.
What are the biggest challenges you face, and how do you deal with them?
The travel can be difficult, and some coaches are not as accessible as others. And, being away from my family is a huge challenge. I have three boys who are 14, 12 and 8. We've been in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., for 10 years. My middle son [Frankie] has Down syndrome and has special needs. That's a whole other story, but he is smart, handsome, and funny and athletic, and he just happens to have Down syndrome. That doesn't define who he is. That's another challenge. I actually thought after he was born, I wasn't sure I would be able to continue to work. But fortunately, my husband told me to continue to do what I do. And here we are 12 years later. But the career choice is only basketball. I choose not do spring sports and not to do football sideline reporting, because doing that would take away more time from my family. We've been doing it like this since the kids were born. . . . We have a full-time person at the house after school to help with homework and dinner and normal after-school activities. I hire a kid in the neighborhood to videotape my kids' playing basketball. We just manage. They all play basketball, and they're all involved in various things. We are supremely organized.
What's your schedule like?
I might have one or two games a week before Christmas during the college season. But after Christmas, I have a game literally every night in January, February and March. From Christmas to the Final Four, it's pretty much straight through. It's a lot of travel, and it's time away from my family. It's kind of like basketball deployment. I'm deployed at Christmas time and come back Easter. I'm not saying that I'm gone completely, but I'm not here very much.
So what makes your job worth it?
If I'm going to be away from my family for that amount of time, I'm going to make sure that I'm having a good time and doing what I love. . . . And when I was in college, we never played on television. I never played one game on TV. When these kids get to be on TV, for some of them, it might be the only chance that they'll be on TV. Their grandmother is watching in Wisconsin and this is the only time they are going to get to see their grandkids play; well, I'm going to make sure that I have something positive and ready to say about every kid, even if it's the last kid off the bench. I want to know everything I need to know. . . . I've been going to the places into the ACC for so long that I know the parking attendants, the guys that work the backdoor, the ushers that work in my area — it's just a real comforting feeling when I'm on the road all the time.
How do you prepare for games?
I read newspaper clips, I read game notes, I watch film. I talk to coaches and local media. I'm constantly looking for another piece of information and nugget. Coaches have certain people they can call when they have a question in their profession. For me, I have several coaches who are very good friends of mine and who I can go to to ask something technical about the game. . . . My philosophy is this: I don't care if it's the top two teams in the league or the bottom two teams in the league, I'm going to bring the same efforts and prep and the same level of preparedness as if it were the national championship. That's the only way I know, and it's not fair to the coaches and players when you don't bring your best effort.
What are some of your favorite moments from your career?
Interviewing John Wooden [the former UCLA basketball coach who won 10 NCAA titles]. About eight years ago, I had to call UCLA to get his number and UCLA would call him and say so-and-so wants to interview you and he would say if it was OK for you to call. If he would say yes, they'd let you know and tell you to call at a certain time. Well, they gave me his number and told me to call him tomorrow at a certain time. So I call, and I'm fully expecting to get a voicemail. And the first time I call, he says, "Hello." And I say, "Is this Coach Wooden? Umm. . . . This is Debbie Antonelli. I'm scheduled to speak with you. Can I call you back in two minutes?" He said, "Absolutely." So I get off the phone and calmed down a little bit. He is basketball. . . . He is a national treasure. So I hung up and wrote down every single thing I wanted to ask him because I knew that this is not one of those interviews where you call back and say, "Coach, I forgot to ask you something." That was a thrill.
What did Coach Wooden say during the interview that has stayed with you?
That he enjoys going to the women's Final Four more than he enjoys going to the men's Final Four, because of the way the [women's] game is fundamentally-based and not above the rim. The discipline in the women's game — I think that's something that he said that means a lot.
Other favorite memories?
When [Tennessee women's basketball coach] Pat Summitt won game No. 900 and when [former Texas women's basketball coach] Jody Conradt won game No. 900 – two milestones that have never been achieved on the women's or men's game. I was on the call for both of those games. It is something that I'll never forget. . . . I also was on the call when Pat got win No. 1,000, which was last year. The last 13 Final Fours on the women's side are always memorable, and every ACC women's basketball tournament is special to me.
And, being able to be there and calling the games when [Coach Yow] won No. 700 and when the team beat Duke in the 2007 ACC Tournament. Duke was No. 1 and undefeated, and this was when [Coach Yow] was really sick on the sidelines. And, right before they had upset North Carolina, which was No. 2. And seeing the court [at Reynolds Coliseum] get named after her and having a significant role in that – that was something very important to me. I'm also on the board of directors for her fund, which is also very important to me because I have the chance to be apart of influencing others to give to her fund and find a cure for her cancer. Cancer has touched all of us, and I know that's part of her fulfilling her legacy is to help make a difference. . . .
The first time I go into Reynolds and Coach Yow is not there, that will be a difficult thing. But we all have to go through that; I haven't experienced that yet, so I'm not sure how I'll handle it. But because of my job and my profession, I will handle it the best way I can. I have been on the air for many emotional moments with her. I've interviewed her and it's been very difficult to do those things. But I know that she is counting on me and many others to do the right thing, and she's always expected that. That would not be any different.

I finally had my twice-yearly haircut today (although "trim" is probably the right word here, seeing as no-one will actually notice I've had anything done). I always know when I desperately need a cut because the chore of washing and blowdrying my hair starts feeling even more so arduous due to the weight of my hair. Not to mention the tangly split ends.
I'd been to B:Zar (Berwick Street, Soho) before and was really pleased with the cut. My stylist, Miz (next to me in the photos!), is guaranteed to put a smile on your face if she ever cuts your hair – she's very funny! All the stylists are from Japan, so they know how to deal with my thick, non-bendy, straight hair. I don't even have to describe my hair… Miz knows exactly how to thin it out so that it sits and moves nicely, rather than just hanging there like a heavy curtain.
Miz enlisted the help of another stylist to help her blow dry my hair (haha do I have that much hair that I need two people to blow dry it at the same time??). They blow dried my hair around round brushes to add loose curls to the ends. I love having hair like this – it makes me feel like the girls in Japan with the impeccably coloured and curled hair that I can never do myself. Shame I'll have to wash it at some point.
I really like the B:Zar salon. It feels urban and a little gritty – you don't get fancy drinks or annoying stylists who ask you whether you're going on holiday (why do they always ask that??). I don't feel like I'm on a conveyor belt there. Everyone clearly cares about their handiwork and they won't rest until they've perfected every single strand of hair.
I paid £38 for my wash, cut and blow dry… which seems pretty bargainous for the amount of care they put into my hair. It includes some "interesting" head and shoulder massages too!
Now that I've had my hair cut, I can rest for another six months. I'm having my hair highlighted at Aveda again next week too… I'm planning to go a bit lighter. I just hope it doesn't go orange!
If you're interested in having your hair cut at B:Zar, they have a website at www.b-zar.com. And don't feel like you need to be of Asian ethinicity or a girl to go there by the way! I've sent loads of friends there, including my boyfriend, and they've all been very happy with their experiences.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
AS the title states, triple threat battle between 3 top level shinobi.
Who do you think will win?
Who will die first?
Please stop making these threads and keep 'em in the vs. forum.
No. Just stop.
Enough is enough. You've fused 2 rivalries into one.
Its a triple battle... The results of a 1 vs. 1 do not apply... I mean, anything can happen
Wrong section
I say Hiruzen
He knows Hashi's Abilities
He is the smartest of the Three
He will probably somehow wait while the other two battle each other out and then go in for the kill.
Due to my forseeing this thread taking a terrible turn for the worst, I'm closing it now.
1. It should have been in Naruto Discussion>Versus Threads.
2. It contains highly controversial matchings that almost always end up launching a flame war.
3. It wasn't even 10 minutes before spam and flaming entered the thread.
Please, for the good of mankind, I am doing you a favor and preventing you from being publicly ridiculed, ostracized, and flamed; in addition to stopping you from being tarred & feathered before being paraded up and down the streets of Narutobase... Please don't make any similar threads.

Cairo, 22 May - The United Nations report titled "Revealing risk, redefining Development", launched this May by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon at the Third Session of the Global Platform on Disaster Risk Reduction in Geneva, reveals a new interest and concern for disaster risk reduction in the Middle East and North Africa.
The second edition of the Global Assessment Report (GAR) on Disaster Risk Reduction shows that while the region is affected by periodic earthquakes and droughts, prevention has not been a priority for the region's governments until recently. However, a group of Arab states are now making progress in systematically reporting disaster losses, providing an indispensable empirical.
Jordan, the Syrian Arab Republic and Yemen have all recently completed national disaster loss databases and will soon be joined by Egypt and Morocco. For the first time, countries in the region will be able to visualize their own disaster risk.

We booked Double-Gate Farm in order to spend a weekend bird watching on the Somerset Levels.
We had a very warm welcome, comfortable room, amazing en-suite and wonderful breakfasts. We were also within walking distance of Westhay Moor nature reserve and interestingly saw far more birds walking the footpaths across the farmland than ever we did in the reserve. Our one comment would be that there was a long wait for the cooked breakfasts, despite having ordered them the night before. It was definitely worth the wait, but had we been in a hurry on the Saturday in particular, when breakfast took over an hour altogether (0830 - 0950), we would have been upset at having to forego the highlight of the day!

Vera was a writer of poetry, song and four books. She was active at First Baptist Church of Conroe and sang alto in a 100-person choir. Vera's interests included horseback riding, bridge, private flying, traveling, reading, dancing, current events and everything else. She was a joy to all of those that knew this remarkably beautiful, brilliant, fun and loving lady. It was a pleasure to be with Vera as she enthusiastically invested her time, attention and imagination into so many things. She leaves the world a better but sadder place.
It's impossible to express how special she was and how much she will be missed by friends and her family.

If things begin to look messy around here, the family hears me call out, "I'm calling a hundred!" Then everyone must hurry and scurry and put away items calling out, "One! Two! Three!" We count to a hundred together and it makes a big difference. It reminds me of Mrs. White's "very quick bursts of cleaning."
