Video: Second person sought in Ariz. shootings
Transcript of: Second person sought in Ariz. shootings
HOLT: Good morning, everyone. Welcome to a special split edition of TODAY on this Sunday morning. I'm Lester Holt live in Tucson , Arizona .
JENNA WOLFE, co-host: And I 'm Jenna Wolfe inside Studio 1A here in New York . And what a horrible tragedy. Lester , details, I understand, are still emerging there this morning.
HOLT: A lot being sorted out this morning, Jenna . It all happened here at this shopping center you see behind me where Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was hosting a sidewalk gathering for constituents. A gunman then walked up, opened fire on her and then on the crowd. Six people were killed, among them a nine-year-old girl and a US district judge, federal judge . At least 13 others were injured, including Congresswoman Giffords . She was shot in the head, but remarkably survived after undergoing brain surgery. She remains in critical condition this morning, but doctors say they are hopeful. Meanwhile, authorities have one suspect in custody. His name is Jared Loughner . He's 22 years old. At this hour officials are hunting for someone who they think -- they think may have been associated with the suspect. There's the picture that they're hoping someone will recognize and call with information. Coming up, we're going to get the very latest from here in Arizona . We'll have a conversation with two people who helped subdue the shooter until police arrived, Jenna .
WOLFE: And then, Lester , we're also going to take a closer look this morning at some of the victims of the shooting, including the youngest, a nine-year-old girl born on the day of the 9/11 attacks. She had just been elected to her school student council and went to see the congresswoman because she was interested in government. So a sad story there, Lester .
HOLT: All right.
LESTER HOLT, co-host (Tucson, Arizona): We want to begin our coverage, Jenna , with NBC 's Miguel Almaguer . He joins me with the latest on the timeline of events and where the investigation stands this morning. Miguel , good morning to you.
MIGUEL ALMAGUER reporting: Lester , good morning. Again, those staggering numbers. At least six people are dead, another 13 injured. The FBI and the sheriff's department is conducting a joint investigation. This morning they believe they have the gunman in custody, although, as you mentioned, they are looking for another suspect. They say the congresswoman was the target. Panic and chaos outside a suburban Tucson grocery store. Saturday, just after 10 AM , a gunman begins his rampage. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was meeting with her constituents when she was shot in the head at point-blank range. The gunman turned his semi-automatic pistol on the crowd.
Unidentified Woman: There was eight pops that just set off really quickly, and the next thing we know there was just a frenzy of people.
Unidentified Man #1: I was behind a pillar. I saw a man lying on the ground. All I heard was 'get down.'
ALMAGUER: Witnesses say bodies were scattered everywhere, the most gravely injured airlifted. Some survivors drove themselves to the hospital. Several victims are in critical condition. Congresswoman Giffords was able to communicate with her doctors while being rushed into surgery.
Dr. PETER RHEE (Medical Director, University Medical Center): She was shot through and through on one side of the head. It went through her brain.
ALMAGUER: The suspected shooter is Jared Lee Loughner , a 22-year-old with a criminal history. Police say Loughner may have an accomplice and are now looking for this man for questioning.
Mr. CLARENCE DUPNIK (Pima County Sheriff): We're not convinced that he acted alone. There is some reason to believe that he came to this location while with another individual.
ALMAGUER: Investigators are looking into YouTube and MySpace accounts reportedly registered in Loughner 's name, but the online rants make little sense. The bloodshed could have been much worse.
Mr. DUPNIK: He probably would have shot other people had he not been tackled by two people.
ALMAGUER: Investigators quickly sealed off Loughner 's neighborhood, just minutes from the crime scene.
Unidentified Man #2: It's extremely creepy to know that He lives so close to me and he does -- he wants to shoot somebody.
ALMAGUER: Although police believe the congresswoman was targeted, the other victims appear to be random. Among the dead, a prominent 63-year-old federal judge ; a 30-year-old aide to Giffords who was engaged to be married; and a nine-year-old girl, the youngest victim.
President BARACK OBAMA: Obviously our hearts go out to the family members of those who have been slain.
ALMAGUER: Re-elected to her third term in November, Giffords met with the public on a regular basis. Shortly before she was shot, she tweeted, "Please stop by to let me know what's on your mind." Outside the hospital Saturday night, tears and a tribute.
Unidentified Man #3: You cannot kill hope with a bullet.
ALMAGUER: A community praying together for the survivors and also remembering the dead. On Saturday, doctors said they were optimistic about the congresswoman's recovery. We hope to have updated information on that later on today. And even as late as yesterday, Lester , there was a scare outside of her office. It turned out there was a suspicious package there, but it was not a threat.

A customer installed iJDMTOY 9005 LED bulbs on his Acura TSX to use as high beam drl.
The 9005 bulbs (aka HB3 bulbs) featured carry 68-SMD chips for an all around shine powerful enough for daytime running lights.
The 9005 headlight bulb is commonly used for headlight high beams, not as direct high beam replacements but as supplementary led driving lights.
Since Acura and Honda vehicles lack a daytime running light housing, the 9005 LED DRL will fit into the high beam housing without any additional modifications.
The 68-SMD of the 9005 bulb gives a 6000K HID look without that over glare.
Featured product: 68 SMD 9005 HB3 Lexus Toyota LED Daytime Running Lights Fog DRL Bulbs

Abortion Activist Given Canada's Highest Honour!
On July 1, 2008, I became even more of a proud Canadian. This past Canada Day, Dr. Henry Morgentaler became one of several new inductees into the Order of Canada (our highest honour). I think it was long overdue.
Dr. Morgentaler has been one of the strongest voices for women's right to choose for over 4 decades. He opened his first abortion clinic in 1969 and performed thousands of illegal procedures. His clinics were raided very often, he was arrested several times, and one clinic in Toronto was even firebombed. In 1988 however, Dr. Morgentaler won his case, and the abortion law was struck down. Here is a news article with more details about his appointment, and here is another article detailing various reactions (including Dr. Morgentaler's).
Of course, his appointment to the Order has led to a lot of controversy. A priest in the province of British Columbia is even returning his Order of Canada in protest – not a loss at all in my honest opinion. Pro-life groups around the country have urged other Order of Canada recipients to return their medal in protest. So far, I don't believe anyone other than the priest has done so.
Canada still has a long way to go in terms of providing abortions to every person who wants one (some provincial governments contribute to these roadblocks), but I think Dr. Morgentaler's appointment to our highest honour is a step in the right direction.
Congratulations Dr. Morgentaler!
*Happy dance*
I can understand how some Canadians are upset. It doesn't seem very fair that he is being awarded the Order of Canada; the Order of Canada is meant to speak on behalf of all Canadians, but many Canadians are against abortion.
Myself, I am very pro-choice. I completely support Morgentaler's work and I admire his dedication towards women's rights and health care. Canada would be a very different place without him.

News Ticker
Breaking news
The ABC understands Victoria has recorded about 471 new coronavirus cases overnight.
The Queensland Government has approved a $1.4 billion tourism and residential development at Ella Bay near Innisfail in the state's far north.
It includes three resorts comprising 860 units, a retail village, 540 permanent residences and a golf course on a former cattle property.
The State Government says the project will generate hundreds of jobs and bolster the economy.
It is still subject to Federal Government approval.
Premier Campbell Newman says the project has a better chance of success than previous attempts to develop the area.
"The difference here is that it is only an hour-and-a-half from Cairns International Airport - I stress - an international airport," he said.
"It's obviously got some very unique features of its own in terms of the great surroundings of the thing.
"It's not as remote as some of those other projects have been from that international airport."

UNKNOWN Should Be Known: Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra
Jaume Collet-Serra's new movie Unknown, freshly released in theaters yesterday (February 18, 2011), definitely deserves to be known to viewers, internationally. This movie, based on a French novel by Didier van Cauwerlaert, with screenplays in English by Oliver Butcher and Stephen Cornwell, has incredibly compelling characterizations and puts the "thriller" back in the rather formulaic genre of spy thriller.
Dr. Martin Harris (Liam Neeson) arrives in Berlin for an important Biotech conference where his German colleague is about to release a new type of corn that adapts to any climate. This important discovery will help alleviate world hunger. After the couple reaches the hotel, Dr. Harris realizes that he forgot a briefcase with valuable secret information. On impulse, he takes a taxi back to the airport to retrieve it. On the way, he has an unexpected accident that lands the taxi into a river. Gina (Diane Kruger), an Albanian immigrant who is his taxi driver, saves his life and disappears before the police shows up.
After he recovers from a brief coma, Dr. Harris goes back to his posh hotel, only to discover that his wife, Elizabeth (January Jones), is at a reception with another man who claims to be the real Dr. Harris. To his shock, Elizabeth denies knowing him. The rest of the plot, filled with twists and suspense–but above all with strong character development–follows Dr. Harris's efforts to reconnect with his wife, reclaim his stolen identity and elude the hitmen who are out to get not just him, but also anyone who seeks to protect him.
Liam Neeson plays his role compellingly, as a human being one can relate to not just another action hero. Diane Kruger, cast in the role of the Albanian taxi driver, is just as rich and multidimensional in her acting. She's probably the most sympathetic character in the movie, as she reveals real courage and integrity in her efforts to protect Harris. An equally compelling character is a former Stasi agent, played by Bruno Ganz, who helps Harris figure out the machinations of his adversaries and their real identities.
The excellent acting, as well as elements of the plot, call to mind the unforgettable German movie, The Lives of Others (2006), directed by Florian Henchel von Donnersmarck. To top off the excellent acting and sustained dramatic tension, Unknown has a plot twist at the end, that is as surprising as it is believable. From beginning to end this movie, which is amazingly well directed and acted, will leave viewers at the edge of their seats. This is a five star movie, all around.

Kate Moss by Tim Walker for Love No.9 – KATE
For the new Spring/Summer 2013 issue of LOVE Magazine, photographer Tim Walker produced a beautiful spread starring top model Kate Moss.
Styled by Katie Grand, Kate Moss wears very little in the shoot, actually for the most part only a few flowers. A bit of a hippie atmosphere, we could not imagine anybody fitting the environment and look better than the British model. It is without any doubt one of the best shoots with her that we have seen in a while. Beautiful!

Orange and Sony Ericsson have gotten together with Channel 4 to launch "mobileACT Unsigned": a competition to find the best unsigned band in the UK.
Noting the scarcity of talent shows on TV, particularly ones where the viewers get to vote on the bands playing, mobileACT Unsigned allows bands to set up MySpace-like sites, linked from the main site, where you can watch their videos and read about the performers before the TV series starts in October.
The show itself will be hosted by Alex Zane, and will appear on the Channel 4 zones T4 and 4music (yes: they used to be called "channels", but Channel 4 tells us the hip term is now "zones").
Bands signing up might like to remember The Upper Room: 4 nice-enough lads last seen performing at 3GSM, circa 2006, with promises of promotion by network operator O2, and feted as the mobile Artic Monkeys.
Mobile phone companies love to be involved in the music business; it's much sexier than telecommunications and impresses the kids.
Unfortunately they're not very good at it, so it remains to be seen if Channel 4 can provide the media savvy to make mobileACT Unsigned any more successful. ®

Columbia River CRKT M21-14SFG Carson Special Forces 3.875" Black Combo Blade, Black G10 Handles
CRM2114SFG: Carson M21™ Special Forces - Black G10 Handle - Combo Edge
Columbia River Knife & Tool
After the success of our M16 Special Forces series, we received requests from professional knife users in the military and law enforcement for the larger "Big Dog" size with a more versatile blade shape. We talked to the designer of the series, retired Sergeant Major and Knifemakers' Guild member Kit Carson, and the M21™ special forces series is the result.
The blade is similar in shape to the Carson M21, but with the addition of a second Carson Flipper on top, resulting in a true hilt. The blade grind is a deep-bellied spear point with a Combined Razor-Sharp and Triple-Point™ Serrated edge on the M21-14SF model.
In addition to the original model with InterFrame build and aluminum scales, for 2008 we're offering this knife as the M21-14SFG with InterFrame build, G10 scales, and our exclusive Veff™ Serrations. We use premium blade steel on both models. A black titanium nitride blade coating protects against corrosion and gives a low-reflectance finish.
The series features our patented* AutoLAWKS™ safety, which provides fully automatic actuation. It immediately turns the folder into a fixed blade when the blade is opened and locked. The safety still allows the quick and smooth one-hand opening and closing that our Carson series is known for. The ambidextrous thumb studs with checkered surfaces provide instant access.
M21™-14SFG G10. This model features a stainless steel InterFrame build with black G10 scales. Many operators prefer G10 because of its aggressive texture, light weight, and insulating properties in very hot and cold conditions. Now you have a choice. Blade steel is 8Cr14 stainless.
All knives in this series are equipped with clip options that allow four-position carry on belts or webbing— tip up, tip down, left or right. (Caution: These knives are not designed for tip-up in-pocket carry.)
The M21-14SF series is a true advance in tactical locking liner folders, and is today an even better value.
- Blade: Length: 3.875" (9.8 cm)
- Thickness: 0.14" (0.35 cm)
- Steel: 8Cr14, 58-59 HRC
- Closed: Handle length: 5.25" (13.3 cm)
- Open: Overall length: 9.25" (23.5 cm)
- Weight: 6.1 oz. (173 g)
Kit Carson of Vine Grove, Kentucky, is a retired professional soldier, rising to the level of Sergeant Major. He has made knives for 30 years and has been a full-time knifemaker since 1993. He is a voting member of the Knifemakers' Guild. Kit has been an avid hunter and fisherman for over 40 years, growing up enjoying the woods and trout streams in the mountains of north Georgia. About his philosophy of knife design, he says: "I strive to follow form and function in the knives I design and build. My reputation has been built around solid working knives, both fixed blade and folders. All the time spent outdoors as a young man and the time spent around the world with the Army has strongly influenced the knives I create." Nothing reflects this approach more than the Carson Design of our M16 series, which is built for function, not to follow fads. This highly successful knife series was named one of the Top 10 Factory Tactical Folders of the Decade by Blade magazine. The M16-14M recently won a comparison test conducted by Germany's Messer magazine.

Frankenweenie is a paradox for writer-director Tim Burton. Burton's style has become a cage. His spirals, stripes, high-contrast colors, preference for Danny Elfman's scores, and reliance on Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter made it seem like Burton had reached the limits of his creative powers. This limitation was highlighted by using it as a catch-all for any adaptation, and he's only done adaptations since 2005's Corpse Bride (and that was his only non-adaptation since 1990's Edward Scissorhands). Strangely enough, by doing a stop-motion animated adaptation of Frankenweenie—based off his 1984 short film of the same name—Burton has come back to his origins in a way that hasn't changed his style (although there's no Depp or Carter), but rediscovered the fun and warmth that used to be intertwined into his visuals and tone.
Victor Frankenstein (Charlie Tahan) is a science nerd with no friends except for his lovable dog Sparky. When Victor needs a permission slip signed in order to participate in the science fair, his father says Victor needs to compromise and also play baseball. Victor agrees, and at the game he hits a homerun, but Sparky chases after the ball, runs into traffic, and gets hit by a car. Sitting in science class, a depressed Victor learns that electricity might be able to raise the dead. He sets up a lab in the attic, harnesses the power of a lightning storm, and brings Sparky back to life. But then Victor's treacherous classmate Edgar (Atticus Shaffer) learns about Sparky's resurrection, the secret gets out, all the kids want to bring back their dead pets, and havoc breaks out.
There's a joy to Frankenweenie that's been absent from Burton's recent films. He can always get caught up in the visuals and some quirky ideas, but they've lacked a personal touch to the point where his recent movies could almost be an imitation of his earlier work. Frankenweenie returns Burton to his roots by bringing him back to the familiar neighborhoods inhabited with oddball characters who fear the abnormal even though they themselves are not bastions of normality. It's the tug-of-war between the power of imagination, the fear of it, and somewhere in between finding something heartfelt. In Frankenweenie, what's heartfelt is the simple love between a boy and his dog.
Surprisingly, the movie doesn't have enough Sparky. The movie is yet another tribute to the power of stop-motion animation in how it captures the "dogginess" of Sparky. It goes beyond tail-wagging and panting. It's in the little details like showing the happiness in Sparky's eyes, or the subtle body language that helps bring the character to life. I'm a sucker for adorable dogs, and even though he's stitched together, Sparky is a lovable pooch, and it's bizarre that the movie doesn't know how often he should be in the story.
The film's greatest flaw is how scattershot it can be. The notion of "compromise" is set up as a major theme, but never pays off. The power and morality of science is also raised as an issue, and it's a nice throwback to the hubris of the main character in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Burton carries that out to a nice extent by showing how the rest of the children aren't emotionally coming from the same place as Victor, and how their science is irresponsible as a result. But this doesn't really work since their revered science teacher, Mr. Rzykruski (Martin Landau), is the one who set up the science fair project in the first place, so how can the children be to blame? Eventually, Frankenweenie reaches the point where Burton is reaching into Universal's classic movie monsters for material. The movie doesn't even have a clear setting since it looks like it takes place in the 1950s, but characters mention "computer simulations" and Pluto not being a planet.
But none of that really hurts the movie because while it may not tie together in a neat little bow, it's still incredibly fun. The kids in Victor's class are delightfully strange, especially a weird girl (Catherine O'Hara) who finds omens in her cat's poop. Mr. Rzykruski gives a speech on stupid people not understanding science, and I guarantee this speech will be attached to YouTube videos of people who dismiss evolution or global warming. There's even a great, big monster mash. All of these elements are thrown together, but Burton keeps them all under control, and the movie feels cohesive as a result.
Frankenweenie isn't his tightest picture, but it's the first one in a while where the tone organically grows out the world, which in turn allows the movie to feel like its populated by genuine characters worth caring about. It's an odd little town where subtexts don't always play out, and the pacing can be a bit off, but it's always somewhere we're happy to be. Frankenweenie plays a lot like Sparky after he's come back from the dead. There are flies buzzing around his head, and they should be distracting, but Sparky just happily wags his tail, jumps up, and eats them.

Break-ups; or just putting on the brakes?
Leo, Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus! Listen up. August has two eclipses that will be eclipsing your Sun Sign, giving you energy to get rid of the old and bring in the new. It's time to eclipse your old shoes and style of dress. Avoid power plays, making others at fault for your unhappiness. You are a fixed sign and don't always appreciate change in your need for security and lasting value. Love a thousand times more, but don't be attached to the form. Forms change, love and truth remain. Be love and truth. The 'Klingons' are the bad guys. Avoid clinging natures.
No expectations, no let downs. No attachment, no loss. If you can lose it, it's not yours to begin with. Be spiritually wise, nest in the heart. Be true to the flowering you. If you're not already selling or throwing out useless things you've collected, start now. Get rid of anything weighing down your flight plan to success.
Mutable Signs of Virgo, Gemini, Sagittarius, and Pisces are affected by the eclipse in areas of money, security, valuables, possessions, people and things you cling to for a sense of security. Delays and sudden changes in course of action are upsetting. Here, the old adage, 'Hurry up and be patient,' works.
Cardinal Signs of Capricorn, Aries, Libra, and Cancer need to take extra care in communicating clearly and precisely in all matters concerning job, career, and love life. Take extra care to eat healthily, exercise, and keep in mind the positive vibe that 'the cup is half full'.
Solar Eclipses can mean a quick rise or fall this August. 'Up in fame or down in flames' is the vibe, so take care. This eclipse calls for cool as a cucumber behavior and polite respectful manners. Avoid anger or explosive behavior. If you're worried about it, remember you are in good company. Everybody from President Bush, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Dick Cheney, to J. K. Rowling, Martha Stewart, Mick Jagger, Justin Timberlake, Uma Thurman. and Barack Obama are getting eclipse energy affecting their status, name, fame, love, money, ego, or health. In Hollywood, it's always better to be looked over than overlooked; so if you're a star in emergence, dig it!
Right in the middle of the two eclipses, August 8th, the Beijing Summer Olympics begin; ending the day before the Democratic Party Convention beginning on August 25th. Intense 'make it or break it' month. Breakthrough or breakdown? Watch for rumors of a woman V.P.
The Republican Party Convention September 1st to 4th wisely seems to miss these two eclipses. Hey! Does the Chinese Olympic Committee have astrologers? The Olympic 'ONE WORLD, ONE DREAM' slogan certainly seems to coincide with the notion that, as the song goes; "everybody wants to rule the world".
May lucky stars be with you.

APS teacher on leave after misconduct allegations
Madison Middle School teacher Susan Stearns is on paid administrative leave while police and school officials investigate the allegations of misconduct.
What started as a normal message to parents and students of a middle school in northeast Albuquerque took a cryptic turn. The message said Stearns was being placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of an investigation into alleged employee misconduct involving a student.
The school's principal said the student involved is not enrolled at Madison. But other details are left out, such as what exactly the misconduct entailed or how long it was going on.
Samuel McMaster, who lives nearby and expects to enroll his child at Madison Middle School next year, told Action 7 News if the allegations turn out to be true, he doesn't want his kid going to the school.
"Teachers are there to educate my kids, right? If they've been participating in behavior as you've described to me, then my kid does not need to be in that environment," McMaster said.
Stearns' name is no longer on the school's website.
Principal Marcie Johnson said more details will be given to parents in the form of a letter on Wednesday. Meanwhile, kids who used to have Stearns as their teacher will now be taught by someone else.
"A qualified substitute will provide instruction to your child while Ms. Stearns is on leave," Johnson said in a message to parents.

Free agent open season starts tomorrow and Phillies Nation is hosting its first ever live chat Friday morning at 10 am. Pat Gallen will be at the keyboard providing live updates as teams race to make the first moves. He will also answer questions submitted by readers – visit the homepage starting at 9:45 am to submit questions and be prepared for some intense hot stove discussions.
For those of you interested in how the free agency process works, tomorrow is the day teams must file their Reserve lists for all Major and Minor League levels.
Major league clubs can reserve 40 players, only 25 of whom can be on the active roster between Opening Day and midnight August 31. AAA clubs can reserve 38 and AA clubs can reserve 37, with roster limits of 24 from Opening Day through the 30th day of the season and from August 10 until the end of the season, 23 between these dates. Teams in A, short-season A and Rookie leagues can reserve 35. Class A clubs play with 25-man rosters, while short-season A clubs have 30-man rosters, only 25 of whom are eligible to play in any given game, and Rookie league clubs have 30-man rosters.
Those lists comprise the entire roster of players for a major league franchise. If you are not on any of these lists (and not eligible for the Rule 5 draft), you are a free agent. General Managers like to act fast so they can pick up the cream of the discarded crop at a reasonable price. Expect some hot news in the morning.

How to: Take Better Pet Pictures
I've noticed several threads in the DCR forums over the last year from shooters seeking advice on photographing pets. It's really not surprising: for many of us, pets are an important part of the family. Incidentally, with a little careful planning, they can also make great subjects for portraits, action photos, or general snaps to put in the family photo album.
In this installment of DCR Workshop, we take on photographing animals generally ? with a particular emphasis on taking great pet pics for photographers of all skill levels. If you've been looking for tips on how to add interest and flair to shots of non-human subjects, keep reading.
Animal photography basics
As in all kinds of photography with moving subjects, anticipation is the key to taking great pictures of animals. And effective anticipation begins with a little observation. Unlike photographing animals in the wild, where your window of opportunity to get any shot at all may be fleeting, photographing animals in a semi-controlled environment ? be it your dogs and cats, or even animals at the zoo ? affords you some time to study your subject in any potential shooting situation and look for the best picture taking opportunities.
Of course, there's something to be said for being ready to capture a moment when it happens, too.
For action shots of active pets, this often means working in a continuous AF mode if your camera is so equipped. Likewise, capturing those elusive moments usually requires a fast shutter speed: for outdoor photos of animals in motion, I like to start around 1/250 light permitting. If your point-and-shoot doesn't let you set a shutter speed (via a manual or shutter priority mode) and doesn't include a scene setting specifically for pets, a sports mode often serves as an effective substitute.
In either case, when taking high-speed action shots, having some telephoto reach can be a huge help. It's much more difficult to track a quick-moving subject up close, and having the ability to fill up the frame with your subject from some distance is an added plus. Having a telephoto range equivalent to at least 200mm (in familiar 35mm terms) can also make it easier to grab greatcandids without having to get to close: just as in photographing people, the best animal shots usually happen when the photographer isn't intruding on scene.
As a final general consideration, too many casual photographers never utilize the continuous drive function on their cameras for taking photos of animal subjects. Unlike film, digital captures are basically free, and it's hard to know precisely when your subject will be at its best. Instead, when photographing your pets or taking snaps at the zoo, grab a series of back-to-back shots instead. Shooting fifty continuous frames to get a single great pet portrait or action shot may seem excessive, but having a capture of the perfect moment usually makes the trouble of sorting through your photos after the fact to pick the keepers worth it.
Consider staging, lighting, and focus
Just as in portraiture with human subjects, staging can also play an important role in photographing your pets. Plan outdoor shoots early or late in the day, when light is optimal.
Consider the relationship of light sources to your subject; often, a bit of fill flash (more on this in depth momentarily) is crucial to balance in outdoor shots, so attend to that as needed as well (keeping in mind "pet eye" concerns discussed below, that is). Alternatively, though, strong light sources ? as in the midday light from the window over my left shoulder in the following shot ? can help add drama to an otherwise mundane snap.
Many dog and cat pictures are, in essence, portraits, and thinking of them that way from a compositional standpoint can help improve your photo taking. As with photographing people, shooting up close with shallow depth of field can yield a great look for pet shots, but be careful of where your focal point is if you're working at wide apertures. A rule of thumb for portraits of all types is that the area of sharpest focus should always emphasize the eyes.
Of course, there's nothing that says you can't mix things up and go for a different look. The more important point is to be conscious of your focal point or points: having this awareness is part of the reason I avoid automatically selected multi-area AF modes (including, ironically, face detection systems). In pet shots as in portraits generally, the best shots will come from taking a proactive approach.
"Kick" it up a notch with fill flash
Appropriate flash use is one key to taking good outdoor portraits, especially. Using fill flash in outdoor scenes also tends to be poorly understood by many casual photographers, who logically but incorrectly assume that if you have sufficient natural light, there's no need to add flash into the mix as well. In truth, fill flash plays two important roles in portraiture of all kinds, making it an important consideration when taking pet snaps.
First, fill flash works to even out harsh, high-contrast outdoor lighting. Strong shadows cast by strong outdoor light sources can be hard to work with, as can stronglybacklit scenes in which your subject comes out much too dark. Second, fill flash helps to assure that the eyes of your subject ? as noted above, the key focal area in most pet portraits ? show a little sparkle.
As seen above, it doesn't take much: often, shooting with the sun over your shoulder provides enough of a glint to give your subject some life. If you find that your animal subjects are looking a little glassy-eyed, though, having a flash unit (and, depending on whether you're taking shots of pets or photographing wild or zoo animals, possibly even a flash extender) handy to provide a little kick lighting can be crucial.
Avoiding "pet eye"
Finally, just as in photographing humans, flash can also be tricky in that it causes reflections ? often green, yellow, or white ? in animals' eyes if you're shooting close, especially. Unfortunately, camera red-eye reduction systems usually have limited success in keeping so called "pet eye" under control, and in-camera processing after the shot almost never works to remove it.
There are several strategies for keeping the issue under control, and depending on the specifics of your shooting situation one or more may be of use to you. First, if you're working with a DSLR or another camera with a hot-shoe mounted flash, swivel the head (if your flash unit is so designed) to avoid direct into-the-eyes flash firing. A flash diffuser ? typically in the form of a "soft box" ? can also help somewhat; some types of diffusers are also compatible with pop-up flash units and may be of assistance, though in my experience the amount of diffusion you get from these types of flash modifiers is often pretty limited.
If you're just trying to get kick light or moderate fill, stepping back and zooming in often helps to lessen reflectivity. Likewise, if your shot composition allows it, changing your angle slightly so that your flash beam hits the subject's eyes obliquely rather than head-on is typically one of the more effective methods for controlling reflectivity in human and animal eyes alike.
If all else fails there's always post-shot correction. While most red-eye tools don't work for most forms of pet eye, there are exceptions. It will require some experimentation to know for sure which tools work and which don't, and it should also be noted that some photo kiosks now include pet-eye reduction functions. While there are plug-ins out there for common image editing software packages that claim to eliminate pet eye, spending on such a specialized tool seems a bit like overkill to me: better to learn how to do basic manual pet eye/red eye correction using either brushwork or levels/curves adjustments in your preferred image editor. Anything with a decent level of editing control (Photoshop Elements, GIMP, etc.) will work for this purpose.

Say you are the head back office guy at MF Global, it is the close of trading on Thursday, the firm has already completely drawn down on its revolver, and all the resulting cash in addition to all the firm's cash at your disposal in affiliated bank accounts, up to and including petty cash, has been used to satisfy margin demands due to declining collateral value, yet the collateral calls just won't stop, and impatient voices on the other side of the phone line demand you transfer even more cash over immediately or else risk default proceedings commenced against you within minutes. What do you do? Do you go ahead and tell your superior that the firm is broke even though the co-opted media is trumpeting every 5 minutes that "MF Global is fine", knowing full well you will be immediately fired for being the bearer of bad news, or do you assume that courtesy of your uber-boss being the former head of the Vampire Squid, and thanks to infinite moral hazard which after Lehman made sure nobody would ever fail ever again, that there is simply no way that you will be left without some miraculous rescue, if only you can last one more day, and as a result proceed to "commingle" some client funds with the firm's cash. It turns out that at MF Global you do the latter... over and over... until you have literally stolen hundreds of millions from the firm's client accounts in hopes that the miracle rescue will come on Friday... then over the weekend... and then you realize no miracle is coming, partly because your actions have been exposed, partly because miracles only exist in fairy tales. The next thing you know, your firm is bankrupt and hundreds of clients are about to learn that all their money is gone. Poof. This is not a fictional tale. This is precisely what very likely happened at MF Global in the past 72 hours. And someone has to go to jail. That someone, if indeed this criminal act is proven to have taken place, should be none other than Jon Corzine himself.
The sad truth of just how low Wall Street has fallen comes to us courtesy of the New York Times:
Federal regulators have discovered that hundreds of millions of dollars in customer money have gone missing from MF Global in recent days, prompting an investigation into the company's operations as it filed for bankruptcy on Monday, according to several people briefed on the matter.
The revelation of the missing money scuttled an 11th hour deal for MF Global to sell a major part of itself to a rival brokerage firm. MF Global, the powerhouse commodities brokerage run by Jon S. Corzine, had staked its survival on completing the deal.
As for the details:
What began as nearly $1 billion missing had dropped to less than $700 million by late Monday. It is unclear where the money went, and some money is expected to trickle in over the coming days as the firm sorts through the bankruptcy process, the people said.
But regulators are examining whether MF Global diverted some customer money to support its own trades as the firm teetered on the brink of collapse. If that was the case, it could violate a fundamental tenet of Wall Street regulation: Customers' money must be kept separate from company money.
And just like in the Lehman collapse where tens if not hundreds of international prime brokerage hedge fund clients, due to no fault of their own, found themselves insolvent after their cash ended up being caught at the London Lehman office (the details of how that money was illegally transferred from London to the US is a different topic entirely) and never to be seen again except to satisfy general unsecured claims, so thousands of MF clients are about to realize that money they thought they had, even if completely unencumbered with other assets, read pure cash, read money not at risk, is now gone forever, and they will have to wait years until the bankruptcy process determines if the claim deserves priority status to the unsecured bondholders. Best case: assume a 70% haircut on the money, if it is every to be seen again at all.
So who can be sued? Who can be blamed for this malicious and purposeful criminal act? Why everyone from the back office clerk presented in the thought experiment above, all the way up to the man at the very top, Jon himself, who, like in every other act of Wall Street impropriety will plead stupidity and deny he ever knew of this crime. Unfortunately, our criminal regulators, who will be just as complicit in clearing him of all wrongdoing, will aid and abet this latest destruction of faith in US capitalism.
What happens next? Why customers at all other brokerages, all other exchanges, afraid that their money will suffer the same fate as MF, even if they transact with perfect solvent clearers and agents, will proceed to pull their money, as they know they have nobody to trust but their own prudent and forward looking actions. Which in turn will start the kind of liquidity drain that killed not only Lehman, but froze money markets, and with that brought the complete capital markets to a standstill, only to be thawed after the Fed pledged multiples of the US GDP to rescue Wall Street in October of 2008.
And that, dear reader, is called unintended consequences, and how the bankruptcy of a small exchange can avalanche into a crippling Ice Nine of what is left of capital markets all over again, courtesy of crony capitalism, rampant criminality and a regulator and enforcement body that is more fascinated with midget porn than any regulating or enforcing of the very firms it hopes to get an assistant general counsel job from in a few short years.

Hundreds of volunteers from across the West Bank were scattered across the area, with dozens severely beaten and detained, including activists, journalists, men, women, and children. In total, more than 40 people suffered injuries.
The brutal eviction follows increased media attention, visits from international delegations, and major renovations, including the tree planting, the introduction of heavy machinery, and the installation of solar panels. Many more activists, protestors, and volunteers were expected to gather the following day, as demonstrators from across the West Bank were to converge on the burgeoning protest site.
Dr. Mustafa Barghouti, Member of the Palestinian Parliament and Secretary General of the Palestinian National Initiative, has been present in the village since it was reclaimed one week ago, and he was beaten during the forced eviction. Speaking with Palestine Monitor, he said, "Tomorrow was going to be the largest gathering of popular nonviolent resistance in recent times. We would have had thousands of people in the village, and Israeli occupation authorities wanted to abort this success by this attack that is not justified by any means. They used brutal power, and hit everybody and injured everybody, but they will not break our will or our resistance."

Berkeley Mayoral Elections—the Backstory; Candidates Exposed (News Analysis)
Written from behind the scenes, this is the backstory of the recent "battle for the soul of Berkeley"—the Berkeley election that was to set the course for "Berkeley at the crossroads." Exposés to follow.
When Kriss Worthington teamed up with Jacquelyn McCormick, and Kahlil Jacobs-Fantauzzi three months before the election, it seemed there was at least a ghost of a chance to unseat the popular incumbent mayor, who sat at the wheel of a highly tuned political machine— a Ferrari racing against soap-boxes.
But the ghost of a chance was a ghost.
Among those who consider themselves Berkeley's true progressives (the Worthington ticket), there were high hopes that this was the year to dump Bates, whom the opposition saw as a conservative in a progressive's clothes.
Among anti-Bates, anti-S and anti-T forces, there was a palpable pre-election optimism that Bates would lose to Worthington, who didn't even come close. As the early results were received at coalition headquarters after the polls closed, pre-election optimism was losing.
Street pursuits yielded to voting on Telegraph. Southside homeless, like Hate Man, Ace Backwards, two homeless voters, who voted when I did, and other street kids, like Sonia, who huddles day and night alongside Peet's—they voted too.
According to a young woman getting out the vote at Telegraph and Dwight as the polls closed, scores of Telegraph street kids voted. You don't need to have an address to vote. I gave a rabble-rousing speech on the balcony of the Med trying to get a homeless friend of mine to vote. "You need a soap box," he said, resisting.
But a funny thing happened on the way to an upset, as ranked-choice voting, which might have worked against Bates, didn't work against Bates because he got a majority on the first count, avoiding a ranked-choice run-off.
Bates had exuded a breezy confidence throughout six (at least) mayoral forums. The only time Bates seemed winded was at an early forum on September 28, in which it seemed he was on hostile ground at the North Berkeley Senior Center, a Grey Panthers-sponsored forum.
Bates ducked out early from every mayor's forum.
From that point on, Bates emerged as a confident self-assured candidate, although admitting to me that if he "awoke Wednesday to learn I'd lost, I'd be kicking myself for supporting ranked-choice voting."
Bates' financing was two and three times more, respectively, than Worthington's or McCormick's.
In the face of a highly emotional campaign, voters in Berkeley, like voters in the Bay Area, turned out in significantly smaller numbers than in 2008, when Obama-fever swept the nation and buoyed the vote.
Zachary Running Wolf, a dark-horse candidate, thought, towards campaign's end, that McCormick would drop out and throw her support (which turned out to amount to nothing) to him, but because Bates won outright, without the necessity of a ranked-choice run-off, none of this mattered.
A local reporter told me that Running Wolf's hopes regarding McCormick were "delusional."
Josh Wolf, McCormick's campaign manager, explained that she was only endorsing two of Running Wolf's proposals, not Running Wolf's candidacy. McCormick wanted to work with all the candidates, Wolf said.
Then what about Running Wolf's medicine pouch, which she wore at the Daily Cal mayoral forum?
"She couldn't not take the gift," he said. "That would have been rude."
Running Wolf was beaten substantially in the also-ran category by Bernt Wahl,
an aspiring motivational speaker who claimed to have a glacier range in Scandinavia named after his progenitors. Saying he had connections, Wahl claimed he owned the name berkeley.com. The affable Wahl beat Jacobs-Fantauzzi, the third member of the dump Bates faction.
McCormick might have preferred Running Wolf in Fantaouzzi's spot on the Worthington ticket, but that is just hearsay, based on her campaign manager's off-the-record comments.
It would be tempting to call Wahl a charming phony, except that although he repeatedly implied he was a U.C. Berkeley faculty member (Engineering), often alluding to his position at U.C., he, in fact, was a lecturer there, 2002-2005, according to a university spokesperson.
The moderator at Cal's mayor-forum, repeatedly addressed Wahl as "professor."
To say this was any more than resumé enhancement would be defamatory.
Bullshit artist might fit. At any rate the bullshit artist/motivational speaker was the third highest vote getter after Bates, Worthington, and McCormick.
But what do the also-ran votes mean in an election in which voter turnout was substantially down from 2008?
Worthington has reportedly been saddened by the election results, even though he will return to a highly successful sixteen year career (with more than hundreds of successful adopted proposals to improve Berkeley), and live to challenge Bates on the city council in perpetuity, as the two former allies battle for the progressive brand.
Jacquelyn McCormick (third-place) seemed her usual upbeat self when I spoke with her by cell when an after-election party was underway at campaign headquarters on Nov. 6. She was displeased with Worthington's early concession, and his low-mood.
She is looking forward to a Berkeley future of cooperation among opposing factions. "This campaign shows we can work together," she has told the press.
You could, if you listened to the mayoral forums, hear the candidates re-imagining Berkeley and fine tuning city-council meetings to give each Berkeleyan a chance to be heard.
McCormick emerged in the campaign as the fiscal-fixer, who can esplain us the Berkeley City Budget, an inscrutable phone-book written by the Tower of Babel.
It will be worth noting whether McCormick finds a role in, or on the periphery of city government. The city manager could do worse than appoint her to the position of public budget esplaner, a city fiscal ombudswoman.

An Oregon death row inmate is mounting an aggressive behind-bars campaign to donate his organs after he's executed, in part to repay society for the gruesome murders of his wife and three young children.
Christian Longo, 37, says he wants to do more to take responsibility for killing his family and dumping their bodies in coastal bays nearly a decade ago than simply accepting execution by lethal injection.
"Why go out and waste your organs when you have the potential to go out and save six to 12 lives?" reasons Longo, whose voice is measured and articulate on the phone from Oregon State Penitentiary cell DRU31 in Salem.
His request to drop his appeals in exchange for being allowed to donate organs has been flatly denied by state corrections officials, who refuse to negotiate with a killer. It's been denounced in principle as "morally reprehensible" by the nation's organ donation officials and medical ethicists.
"I don't think we want to be the kind of society that takes organs from prisoners," said Dr. Paul R. Helft, director of the Charles Warren Fairbanks Center for Medical Ethics and Indiana University. "To do so would be to use unfree prisoners as a means to an end."
Lobbying in media, on Facebook
Longo's quest, which boasts its own website and Facebook page and was featured in a recent New York Times op-ed piece, renews questions about whether changing inmate donation policies could help ease the nation's dire shortage of transplantable organs — or whether it relies on an innately manipulative or vulnerable population of prisoners.
"It's impossible to be sure that a person who is behind bars is making a decision they would make while walking down the street," says Jeffrey Orlowski, executive director of the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations, the non-profit group that represents the nation's 58 regional groups.
Ironically, a survey of organ transplant centers nationwide reveals that while taking organs from executed inmates is prohibited, accepting organs from inmates who die of other causes while in custody is permitted, although rarely and under strict circumstances.
Longo probably has a better chance of donating his liver if he's injured or has a stroke in prison and dies later at a local hospital.
In such a situation, even the Oregon Department of Corrections couldn't stand in the way, spokeswoman Jeanine M. Hohn says. "We would not hinder any such donations."
Donations after inmates died of injury or illness while in custody have been allowed, though rarely, even in Longo's region, said Mike Seely, executive director of the Pacific Northwest Transplant Bank. "It's happened once or twice in the 20 years I've been here," Seely says.

More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Transplant advocates, including those who've received organs, say increasing the supply of available organs is the bottom line, and that willing prisoners should be allowed to donate to often-desperate recipients.
"I wouldn't have cared what heart I got," says Hiland Doolittle, a 65-year-old writer from Albany, N.Y., who waited two years before his 2009 transplant. "When you can't tie your shoes, you know you're at the end of your rope."
Opinion: Organs from inmates: That idea should be DOA
"If someone is sick enough, long enough and wants to live, they'll gladly take an organ from someone who was incarcerated," says Joanne Kelley, president of TripleHeart, Inc.,an Atlanta-based support group for heart transplant patients. Her 58-year-old husband, "Kel" Kelly, died in 2008 after living with a donor heart for nine years.
But death row opponents, doctors and ethicists counter that larger societal questions are at stake that supersede individual demands for organs.
'Too many problems'
"I don't think it's a calculus that this life can be taken so this life can be spared," said Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center, a non-profit group that opposes capital punishment. "I think you've got to look at the larger picture. The system that gets put in place once the green light is given for that has too many problems."
But Longo figures that he alone could save eight lives through his death, offering his heart, lungs kidneys, liver and other tissues. That would put a dent right away in Oregon's waiting list, which includes 768 requests, including 13 hearts, 122 livers and 628 kidneys.
And it could bring down the national waiting list, which on Tuesday totaled 110,772 candidates, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing.
"To be able to save so many lives, that means a lot to me as well," says Longo.
Such a statement is difficult to square with a man convicted of strangling his 34-year-old wife, MaryJane, and their 2-year-old daughter, Madison, stuffing their bodies in suitcases and then throwing them into coastal waters. He was also convicted of murdering Zachery, 4, and Sadie Ann, 3, by tying rock-filled pillow cases to their ankles and throwing them into icy Oregon inlets in late December 2001.
And it's hard to hear from a man who went back to work at his job at a local Starbucks outlet in the days after the murders before fleeing to Mexico, where he told people he was a New York Times reporter, went swimming and snorkeling, and struck up a brief romance with a woman, according to court records. When he was caught, he denied the killings.
"I didn't want people to believe it was something I was capable of," says Longo. "The past is the past. Essentially, over time, my conscience got to me."
Donating his organs won't atone for the murders, says Longo, who now claims he believes his death sentence is just. It would allow him to do some good, however, perhaps providing comfort to his family.
"This is a way that I won't fail," he says."It does do something for me from a psychological standpoint."
As it stands now, Longo has an uphill fight to donate his own organs — or change the system to allow donations from the nation's 2.4 million incarcerated prisoners, including the 3,261 on the nation's death rows in 2010.
Others have tried — and failed — including a convicted killer in Texas, Jonathan Nobles, whose 1998 request to donate his organs after execution was flatly denied as well.
No organs from executed prisoners
The use of organs from executed prisoners is censured by the United Network for Organ Sharing, which guides organ donation policies in the United States. The group denounced the practice in 2007 and hasn't budged on the matter, says spokeswoman Anne Paschke.
Living prisoners may be allowed to donate organs, but it's decided on a case-by-case basis at the state and federal levels, officials say. Typically such donations are limited to immediate family members when there's a confirmed organ match, with the inmate and recipient's families agreeing to foot the bill for all medical and security costs.
In Colorado, for instance, Johnny Andino, a 27-year-old inmate at Centennial Correctional Facility, is waiting to hear whether he'll be allowed to donate a kidney to his autistic cousin in California, Brandon Dekeado, also 27. Chuck Dekeado, 50, an Oregon man who is uncle to both young men, says he has been working desperately to faciliate the donation.
It's not yet clear whether Andino's kidney would be a good match, or who would pay the costs for the operations because the state won't foot the bill, says Katherine Sanguinetti, corrections spokeswoman. If it works, however, Chuck DeKeado says it would provide redemption for Andino, a convicted car thief, and survival for his ailing cousin.
"This is saving both my nephews' lives," he adds.
Part of the problem with accepting organs from prisoners, especially after executions, is a practical one, says Dr. Robert Metzger, past medical director with UNOS.
Organ donations must be performed in hospitals and executions are held in prisons. The three-drug cocktail used in lethal injection may render organs unsuitable for transplant. And, with high rates of diseases such as HIV and hepatitis C, jail and prison inmates are considered high-risk donors by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and subject to even stricter testing and lifestyle scrutiny than typical organ donors.
But the core of the problem is philosophical, says Orlowski, director of the association of organ procurement organizations. The specter of China, where two-thirds of donated organs are harvested from prisoners, haunts U.S. transplant experts.
"As a country, we have a high ethical and moral standard that we shouldn't do things to people no matter how disadvantaged they are," Orlowski says.
That argument frustrates Longo, who petitioned the state of Oregon twice last year to change its position on inmate organ donation. First, Longo asked the state to allow executed inmates to change the method of execution to spare organs, allowing a single drug for lethal injection, a powerful dose of anesthetic, instead of the three-drug protocol that also includes a paralyzing agent and a drug that stops the heart.
Longo won't drop appeals
Then he proposed that he would drop his pending appeals — which could stave off execution for a decade or more — in exchange for being allowed to donate his organs after death. In that scenario, Longo says he would be executed within 90 days.
In both cases, corrections officials denied Longo's requests, declaring that the best interests of the public and inmates were served by allowing organ donation by inmates under the case-by-case basis that now exists.
"We do not have interest as a department in negotiating with Mr. Longo," says Hohn, the spokeswoman.
Longo now says he won't drop appeals that seek to challenge his death sentence and overturn two of four convictions. He says he'd rather use the time to lobby for changes in inmate donation policies.
"I want to continue to give it everything I have to give it the best effort possible," he says.
Critics claim that Longo is simply saving his own skin while also seeking the attention and ego-gratification that a killer craves.
To them, Longo acknowledges that it would help him to know that he achieved a significant goal, even while confined in a 6-foot by 8-foot cell. But, he says, so what?
"It may set a precedent. It just makes sense. It's practical," he says, adding later: "It will be a big deal not only to have saved lives, but to accomplish something from this position."

Description: [Para Para Paradise] By Tiger Yamato with Y&Co.
By Tiger Yamato with Y&Co.
Neon signs were shining bright
And in the street lights, you tried to move by
I saw your shadow was fading away
Well, I lost you all of a sudden
Good-bye my love, I love you too so
Before you went away, I didn't know
Memories awake, only in my dream
When I think I lost them, they all come back to me
You said that you love me
Looked at me softly
You kissed me and held me all night so tight
I know what you're feeling
I know what you're dreaming
All that you feel and everything in your mind
The memories are so clear
So many good years
Sweet ones I hold dear
Can't hold back the tears
I need you by my side
These feelings I can't hide
So don't walk away, boy
Baby won't you bring back
Love me
Love me

As a wide-eyed Wisconsin farm girl, Julie Hughes came to the big city in the early 1970s and worked a series of jobs before she had an epiphany.
She wanted a career, not just a job — and she found one by answering a newspaper ad seeking an "Assistant to the President," at a tiny firm called United Properties. It may not have sounded like much title-wise, but the position served as a springboard for Hughes to build the career she coveted.
Forty years later, Hughes recently retired at age 64 with an impressive title that amply fills out her business card: senior vice president and regional director of property management for Cushman & Wakefield/NorthMarq, a sister United Properties company that manages 40 million square feet of real estate space.
But it wasn't the title, or the perks and challenges that come with a successful career, that Hughes has treasured most. "I'd like to think my career was more about the development of people, the mentoring," she said in a recent interview. "That's what really fueled my passion."
Throughout her career, Hughes says she's mentored more than two dozen young people, "all of them rock stars."
Hughes' career trajectory paralleled the growth of United Properties, once the sleepy real estate arm of the Hamm family's brewing empire that is now a four-company, multimillion-dollar real estate firm owned by the Pohlad Cos.
"She's such a great player and coach, she's the real deal," said Eva Stevens, executive vice president and asset manager for United Properties, who considers Hughes a friend.
Making a name for herself in the male-dominated commercial real estate field wasn't easy, but Hughes is the last to complain or dwell on gender issues. "My advice to people, male or female, was to be open to anything you're asked to do," she says. "Never think a task is not your job. Soak it in."
When she began as an assistant to former President and CEO Kenneth Stensby, she was given the opportunity to learn the property management side of the business, in addition to her secretarial duties. That involved managing a small apartment complex in Bloomington, where she lived, as well.
"I leased, painted, cleaned hallways, you name it," she says. "Growing up on a farm, I wasn't afraid of hard work. I was grateful to have a job." She eventually married one man she screened for an apartment, Dean Hughes.
"There really weren't any women property managers back then," said Stensby. "She really became a bellwether in the field."
Within a year, Hughes began managing Tarnhill Apartments, a big 300-unit complex in Bloomington, full time. She learned much about human behavior on the job. "What people are at work, and what they're like where they live, are two different things," she says.
Still, there were moments of levity — such as the time police officers hid in the laundry room before a drug bust, only to be surprised by a streaker. The cops emerged, guns drawn.
Wearing only a trench coat and sneakers, the panic-stricken streaker jumped off a balcony and broke both ankles. "He must have lost a bet," Hughes said dryly.
Hughes served in several property management positions including supervisor of apartment management and vice president and portfolio manager of 4 million square feet of space. She also worked on distressed properties and court-appointed receiverships for three decades.
"They called me the Receivership Queen," she said.
Highs and lows
As such she's witnessed firsthand the economy's dips and surges, which can be particularly cruel in the commercial real estate business. She recalls one home in Maplewood that was in receivership in the 1980s where the owner had removed the dining room light fixture so he could dress a deer inside the house.
"Those were hard times, some properties were rough. You see a downturn every seven or eight years," she said.
Hughes was the first woman in the Twin Cities area to earn the Real Property Administrator designation from the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) and the first female to achieve the Certified Property Manager designation from the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM). She was instrumental in establishing a Twin Cities chapter of NAIOP, a national commercial real estate organization, and was active in recruiting colleagues to work on behalf of Habitat for Humanity. At the time of her retirement, Hughes supervised 20 property managers and oversaw 12 million square feet of office, industrial and retail space.
"Julie always was very professional and always had a positive attitude," said Linda Steinbaugh, vice president of property management at CBC Griffin Cos., who worked with Hughes in the 1980s and considers her a friend. "It's so important to like the people you work with.''
Hughes decided to retire when Boyd Stofer, a top executive at Pohlad Cos., died suddenly in 2011 at the age of 62. "When Boyd passed, that brought me back to center," she says.
Now retired, she plans on spending time with her family, which includes three daughters, five grandchildren and two older sisters — who love to travel, especially to New York City. The St. Paul resident also loves to bike and dabble with a side business called Hughes Flowers and Gifts.
"What else do you have at this point in life but to experience it, and find joy?"

Nobody saw it coming, but that's usually the way it goes with every revolution.
In 2016, a new musical wave began to quietly build under just a name—24HRS. As songs like "Time," "U Know," "Back For Me," and "Deepend" generated millions of Soundcloud plays in a few months' time, chatter erupted throughout the worlds of hip-hop and R&B. Who was behind that mysterious social media moniker? Was it an established artist trolling the system or a brand-new voice breaking through?
As for the latter question, it turned out to be a little bit of both. The man born Robert Davis and previously known as the rapper Royce Rizzy decided to flip the script, re-envisioning his sound, style, and even his name…
"I needed a fresh start," he exclaims. "I didn't want anyone to judge me based on my past incarnation. I decided to find a different name, reinvent myself, rebirth who I am, and change everything from the content to the type of music. I wanted people to love the music before they had a chance to find out my identity or see me. There was nothing else, so they had to give it an honest ear. I put those first four songs out without telling anyone."
Before hitting the road on a 44-date 2017 tour with Blackbear, 24HRS holed up in Hollywood's Paramount Recording Studio to record his Night Shift EP over the course of just seven days. Powered by his seismic vocal delivery, towering falsetto, and a knack for arranging seductively dark beats, the eight-song set illustrates every facet of his dynamic presence.
"I needed a project to go on tour, so I decided to stay up every night for a week and make all of these records," Twenty explains. "I tried to slow down a little bit and really think about what I was doing. It's 2017 meets early 2000s R&B."
Produced by Hit-Boy [Jay-Z, Kanye West, Eminem], the first single "What You Like" [feat. Wiz Khalifa & Ty Dolla $ign] instantly racked up 2.4 million Soundcloud plays. Over iridescent beats, his neon croon takes hold between fiery guest spots from Ty and Wiz.
"It's the summer anthem for the world," he grins.
From the airy "real R&B" of opener "FAVORITE" to the trap-inspired boom of "ADDRESS," Night Shift could be the perfect soundtrack to any evening worldwide from the artist's birthplace of Oakland all the way to Tokyo—the site of his high school.
In the end, 24HRS knows exactly who he is, and that's why he has the power to change the game.
"I'm finally comfortable and confident in myself," he leaves off. "I've been through a lot, and I want to show people they can be whatever they want to be in life. I'm living proof."

The Rensselaer School was established in 1824 by Stephen Van Rensselaer "for the purpose of instructing persons … in the application of science to the common purposes of life" (Van Rensselaer to Blatchford, 1824). It is "…the first school of science and school of civil engineering, which has had a continuous existence, to be established in any English-speaking country" – Palmer C. Ricketts
In 1833 the school became the Rensselaer Institute, and in the 1850s its purpose was broadened to become a polytechnic institution. The name was changed to the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1861.
