Review Train (Canon 60D, Sony A33, Pentax 645D, K-5, K-r, Nikon D7000, etc)
Time for a new edition of the "Review Train", where the peanuts are made of salt, and the beer is made of green tea ;-) For lens reviews, as usual, check the Lens Reviews ant farm.
We have a very clear theme in this edition - everybody reviews the Canon 60D! That includes DC Resource, Pocket Reviews, and a new opinion of it at Fotopolis. Tired of reading? How about a podcast-review of the 60D at The Digital Story.
Meanwhile, the Nikon D7000 action continues with a 10-minute video preview at Photography Review and a new review at Fotopolis.pl. Rosetta Stoned does not yet offer an instant-learning tutorial, so you may find the computer translation of interest :)
The D3100 is now the next review in the DC-Resource pipeline but in the meantime, it has received a new review at Kamera & Bild. Meanwhile, Japanese website DC Watch has tested out the D700 (D700) with the Sigma 85mm f1.4 out and about in nature.
Next up, Focus Numerique has started a studio field report with the Pentax 645D moyen format camera, they have published day #1 so far, while Imaging Resource has a short technical editorial on their Pentax 645D samples.
The 645D, along with the K-5 and K-r have recently been reviewed by French magazine Chasseur D'Image, and Pentax's Ned Bunnell has published english-translated PDF files of the three reviews on his blog but you can probably read them more comfortably by clicking through to Scribd (it's like a YouTube for documents) or downloading the PDFs to your computer or e-reader or tablet.
Staying with Bentax, there are two short reviews of the K-r (K-Rambo) at Info S1ck World and at Pocket Rambo.
Next up, the Sony Alpha A33 gets some new action as it receives a new review at Photography Blog, with full-size JPEG and RAW real-world samples includes for your pixel-peep-evaluations.

Today, hundreds of thousands of young immigrants brought to America as children can begin seizing the opportunity to live and work legally in the United States.
A new Obama initiative –Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals – allows undocumented immigrants from the ages of 15 to 31 to apply for a work permit. Estimates are that more than a million young people are eligible.
The Obama initiative represents more of a reprieve than a redemption for these teens and young adults, many of whom have lived in the United States since childhood. It does not create a path to citizenship but does defer deportations and permit young undocumented immigrants to come out of the shadows. The deportation deferrals last two years, and must then be renewed.
The work permits essentially allow holders to live in the daylight; they will be able to obtain Social Security numbers and driver's licenses and apply for financial aid for college. They will be able to open bank accounts and seek certifications to work as nurses and electricians.
Workshops on how to apply for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals permits — which require a $465 fee — have been inundated with attendees. News photos show lines of people waiting for help snaking around the blocks. Many of those in line were carrying proof of their good character and their lives in America, including school awards, rent checks, diplomas, tax records, immunization records and pay stubs.
Alexandra Alor follows a simple system to elude immigration authorities. An illegal immigrant from Peru, Alor doesn't venture out of her home in DeKalb County when she sees police setting up traffic stops nearby or hears about them on Hispanic radio stations. That system has worked for the 17-year-old Lakeside High School student ever since her grandmother illegally brought her to the United States about 10 years ago.
Now she sees an opportunity to remain here without the nerve-racking fear of deportation. She plans to apply for special consideration this week under a controversial new policy the Obama administration announced in June. The policy applies to illegal immigrants who were brought here as young children, who have not committed serious crimes and who are now in school or have graduated.
Proponents say the policy is a humane way to boost the U.S. economy by keeping educated immigrants such as Alor here. Critics say the White House is pandering to Hispanics for votes with its election-year announcement, and that the move could take jobs away from American citizens. They also worry the changes could send the wrong signals, inviting more people to enter the country illegally. The government's new approach comes as Georgia is battling in federal court for permission to enforce several tough measures aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration.
Wednesday is the first day immigrants such as Alor may start applying to the government for "deferred action," or a promise that they won't be deported for two years. Alor can apply again in two years. She also plans to seek permission to work legally here as part of the same process.
Nearly 1 million immigrants across the U.S. are now eligible for deferred action, according to an estimate by the Immigration Policy Center, an arm of the American Immigration Council, an immigrant rights and policy group in Washington. Of those, 24,360 live in Georgia, the eighth-largest total among states.
And here is an excerpt of a Washington Post story:
According to the Washington Post:
"People are very, very anxious to file, so we've been telling them to over-prepare," said Emid Gonzalez, manager of legal services at Casa de Maryland. The group has scheduled an afternoon workshop Wednesday at which she expects to see family documents by the armload. "The phone has been ringing off the hook."
On Antonio Aleman's dining table in a double-wide trailer in Suitland, the pile of birth certificates and school transcripts has grown to nearly a foot tall as he prepares to sign up his two children, 15 and 21. With his wife Ruth slapping fresh tortillas in the kitchen, Aleman sorted through his daughter Beatrize's academic bona fides, including a certificate of achievement from Surrattsville High School.
"I think they will qualify. They are good students; we've been working hard, paying our taxes," said Aleman, 43, a bakery truck driver from El Salvador who came with his family nine years ago and outstayed their visa. He already bought two money orders for $465 each to cover the application fee. "It's been difficult to wait. What else do we need? Do we have everything?"
The protected status has to be renewed every two years. And the program's name, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, may lack the aspirational heft of the "Dream Act." But immigration advocates are treating today's launch as a great victory.
"This is single largest opportunity we've had since [the amnesty program of] 1986 to bring people out of the shadows and into documented status," said Rep. Luis V. Gutierrez (D-Ill.), who led efforts to pass the Dream Act in the House only to see it fail in the Senate in 2010. "We've got to take advantage of it. Our goal should be to sign them up, sign them up, sign them up."

Ao over a million illegal undocumented become a million documented illegals and compete against your Natural born children for jobs and further depress wages for non college skill labor..
Yeah that should sit well with blue collar america haha

Trisha –
It's capitalism; businesses will hire the best person for the job. With this action there will be no more paying under the table b/c it's legal to work. If Americans don't like it, they should step it up.
August 15th, 2012
6:10 am
Trisha, your Senator Chambliss, a right wing conservative, likes this. His biggest donors are the agriculture corporations in Georgia that need illegals to work. This is not just a left-wing idea, this is also a right wing idea. The House of Representatives is overwhelmingly Republican. This would not have been passed without Repug backing. It's interesting that this is one of the few things both parties get behind. You need to read more and stop watching Fox News. Your ignorance is appalling.

"It's capitalism; businesses will hire the best person for the job. With this action there will be no more paying under the table b/c it's legal to work."
Businesses hire the cheapest labor they can get for satisfactory work, not the best person for the job. A better American might be willing to work for more money. Companies that pay under the table do so to save money (not paying SS and Medicare tax) and be able to pay less than legal minimum wage.

""I think they will qualify. … said Aleman, 43, a bakery truck driver from El Salvador who came with his family nine years ago and outstayed their visa."
Hey ICE, the paper has identified an ILLEGAL ALIEN who is breaking our laws. What are you going to do about it?
Oh yeah. Nothing. Thanks to Obama's gun-running Justice Department.
Election year politics and law abiding, tax paying LEGAL citizens are taking one up the wazoo once again.
August 15th, 2012
6:26 am
I don't care if it's a right wing or a left wing idea, it bothers me that – at least the way it's being covered in the press – the President is deciding which laws he will and will not enforce. And I do not watch Fox News.
While I have sympathy for the children who are suffering due to the actions of their parents (but could go back to their home countries and apparently be better educated and more prepared for jobs than most, thanks to the education they got here), illegal is illegal.
And yes, I understand that many of the farmers in Georgia are having trouble finding Americans who will do those jobs, even with our unemployment rate as high as it is.
I think we really need some hard discussions and to make some decisions absent all the partisan rhetoric. And "Stroke of the pen, law of the land, pretty cool," sounds more like a dictatorship than a democratic republic, whether it's Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, or Barack Obama applying the concept.

@science teacher671 – Well said! And I hope the "bold" statements will get people to think. Wonder if Jessica Coltl (sp?) will be first in line?
August 15th, 2012
7:24 am
They were going to be here anyway, so the situation is pretty much unchanged. The choice wasn't deport them all or let them stay. We were never going to deport them. It just assures that we get the best out of them and that they don't get mistreated.
August 15th, 2012
7:27 am
Yeah, let's get them documented so we can deport them after the Czar is thrown out in November!
August 15th, 2012
7:34 am
Of course, this is merely a temporary, deferred action. The next President (or Congress) could change things and decide to deport all those who signed up. I just wish we would establish a reasonable, enforceable program to address all immigration issues. But we are so schizophrenic about it!
August 15th, 2012
7:37 am
Pardon my blog,
Jessica Colotl will not have to stand in line. She will argue that it isn't her fault she is here, and therefore, should not have to stand in line like everyone else. In response, the U.S. government will then enact a set of laws that allows them to skip the line entirely.
August 15th, 2012
7:39 am
illegal is illegal
Being here without proper paperwork is not illegal. And what do you know about returning to a country that you don't know and have never called home?
Authorities decide what laws to enforce all the time, we can't possibly enforce every law on the books. If that concept disturbs you, reality must be a very uncomfortable place.
August 15th, 2012
7:45 am
This was not passed via the legislature. This was a unilateral executive branch decision using the concept of "prosecutorial discretion." Please don't try and pass this off as a bipartisan decision by our legislature. The results of this action, good or bad, rest solely with our President.
If their actions are contrary to law, their actions are ILLEGAL. The law says that you shall have the proper visa, green card, citizenship, etc. to be in this country. Therefore, if you are here without it, you are illegal.
August 15th, 2012
7:49 am
@Mountain Man,
This is consistent with our policy of the last 30 years. Its not schizo. Reagan gave amnesty and no other President (from either side) since has strongly enforced the immigration policy because we don't have the financial resources. We never will have the resources as we can't even pay our current bills, so its a guarantee that no President will incorporate strict policies.
August 15th, 2012
7:52 am
Wow aquagirl,
"Being here without proper paperwork is not illegal." That has to be one of the most idiotic statements of the year. So by your logic, if I am walking around inside the White House without proper ID, then i'm not illegally trespassing.
August 15th, 2012
7:54 am
Well, I rejoice in this! Many of the students that I have taught can benefit from this. I am thinking of a couple of sisters, excellent students, who graduated at the top of their high school classes, got big rides to private college, graduated with every award, academic or otherwise, and cannot legally work in their chosen field. America needs ALL THE SMART PEOPLE it can get; we see what dumb brings us.
August 15th, 2012
7:55 am
@JF McNamara
It is schizo – we rail against the illegal immigrants for being here, yet we allow them to work by not requiring an effective e-verify system. We say we don't want them here but we don't deport them. We say we want them here to work certain jobs, but we won't create an effective system to allow them to legally work at those jobs. We are constantly saying one thing but doing another. Just like havin a 55-mph speed limit inside the Perimeter!
August 15th, 2012
7:57 am
"This is consistent with our policy of the last 30 years."
We have been schizo for 30 years. More like a "don't ask – don't tell" policy. We will allow it but don't publicize it.
August 15th, 2012
7:59 am
The headline is a gigantic lie: no one is currently in the shadows. Deportation is not something illegal aliens fear. Demonstrators and the Ga Capitol display signs saying "Undocumented and unafraid." They are arrested for disorderly conduct, and then released. They are in custody, known to be illegals, and they are turned loose.
The Kennesaw State student was a cause celebre. She and her illegal alien mother are the subject of a newspaper article and have their pictures in the paper. Their illegal status and their address are known to the authorities. Nothing happens.
Obama's Kenyan relatives – an aunt and an uncle – are here illegally. The aunt is living public housing on the taxpayers' dime. The uncle was driving without a license and with lots of alcohol in his blood. They stay.
The young people here -through no fault of their own, as we hear over and over and over – get to stay because our lawless president uses the fact that Congress HAS NOT AUTHORIZED THEM TO STAY as a justification for letting them stay. Mind boggling. But this lawlessness aside, if we know who the illegal kids are we know who their parents are. The parents are not here "through no fault of their own." But they stay too.
Shadows? What shadows? They are in broad daylight.
August 15th, 2012

"Being here without proper paperwork is not illegal."
I don't know if that is true or not. But to live you have to work, and WORKING here without proper paperwork IS illegal. So is drawing public benefits. If you have people giving you money and providing you with a free life, then maybe you are not illegal, just don't apply for a job or benefits.
August 15th, 2012
8:05 am
If their actions are contrary to law, their actions are ILLEGAL.
It's not a violation of any law to be here without proper paperwork. It's not a felony. It's not a misdemeanor. In a legal context, it's like having a toilet that flushes too much water in certain jurisdictions.
August 15th, 2012
8:07 am
@Catlady, and I am thinking of the exceptional late daughter of one of my friends, who graduated second in her class with numerous academic awards, who received numerous scholarships to attend college, and was in fact on her way home from college when she was killed in a head-on collision by a drunk illegal alien from Guatemala.
The illegal alien? He survived. Taxpayers footed his hospital bill. He then fled back to whatever cockroach infested dump he came from to avoid the vehicular manslaughter charges.
August 15th, 2012

Is it racist to care more about people of your race than you do for the country you are pleading to be allowed to remain in?
August 15th, 2012
8:12 am
Simple fact: These kids are not going anywhere, because they have no where to go. Many of them have been here since they were little, so this is their home. Would you rather they get paid in cash, and not pay any taxes or get a work permit and pay their full share of taxes (and SS and Medicare, etc.)?
August 15th, 2012
8:26 am
According to several reputable sources that I've located with a simple google search, overstaying a LAWFUL visa in the United States can result in a CRIMINAL RECORD for the rest of your life and is considered a federal criminal offense.
Illegally entering the United States without a visa is also most definitely a criminal offense. If you are caught in the United States WITHOUT a legal visa/authorization, it is clear you entered illegally. If you are here with an expired visa, you can be arrested, deported, and have a criminal record.
I don't think a criminal record is possible for having a toilet that uses too much water.
Nice try though.
August 15th, 2012
8:27 am
While I have compassion for the young people who did not bring themselves here, I think this is a terrible idea. These young people are NOT going to be working in the fields in Georgia. They are going to be taking jobs from not only legal, American citizens who are young, but those who are older and unemployed right now. Why do they qualify for federal aid for college? That is INSANE. College costs so very much and they aren't even here legally!!!! Maybe an exception from deportation for 2 years makes them legal for two years, but exactly when are they paying back the student loans. Oh wait, maybe I should be asking about them getting PELL Grants. It just gets more stupid every day.
August 15th, 2012
8:30 am
A simple google search turned up several reputable sources that say being here with an expired visa can result in a criminal record for violating federal laws. It can lead to arrest and deportation.
Other google searches found several reputable sources that say entering the country without proper documentation is ILLEGAL and can result in arrest and deportation.
So let me break it down for you: Overstaying your visa? Criminal and can trigger a criminal record, arrest, and deportation.
Here without a visa or authorization? You entered illegally, contrary to law, and can be arrested and deported.
Flushing a toilet that uses too much water? Maybe a ticket. No arrest. No criminal record.
Nice try with the comparison though.

Simple facts:
Deporting so many undocumented individuals would require a huge undertaking and expense.
Deporting over a million plus individuals would create an economic black hole. If we were to somehow lose that many consumers in a year, we would cripple the economy.
Both parties will quietly acknowledge, behind closed doors, that this initiative is a move in the right direction to address the problem. No one wants to admit in public what common sense dictates.
Document them and let them pay taxes.

"businesses will hire the best person for the job"
No, businesses will hire the cheapest person for the job. Government endorsed slave labor is all this is. Keeping Illegals here ensures entitlements are kept alive and creates a larger welfare class.
These children of Illegal immigrants have been raised to lie, cheat and steal from Americans. They have been taught how to be con artists, smiling agreeably at their supporters while they steal from the American taxpayers. The blind compassion crowd are either foolish or are the true benefactors of an Illegal alien welfare class.
It is a disgusting state of affairs that many of you have endorsed this probelm and don't care about the security and survival of your own country. You have shown that you care more about the people using you as a pawn than your own next door neighbor. It's no wonder America is the laughing stock of the World. You a the reason why America is a toxix waster dump instead of a melting pot. So glad you are proud and beating your chest today!

Another example of Democrats and the Obama administration placing the interests of illegal aliens and their chilldren above those of US citizens and legal residents.
Obama and the Democrats want everyone to be dependent on the government, more entitlements, more debt and deficits, higher unemployment. There is only so much that taxing the "rich" can do to move our economy and how does it affect the motivation of individuals to take on additional risk when the government always has their hands in that individuals' pocket?
Make those who are unemployed perform some kind of work for their welfare checks….no, no…Obama wants to relax those welfare work rules.
Punish those who break our immigration laws? No, Obama and the Democrats REWARD them!
Is this the kind of President and government you want?

I'll see your "reputable sources" you didn't bother to link (was that too much trouble?) and raise you a Chris Christie.
Nice try though, with the "I found reputable sources that I somehow failed to post, but trust me on this, I know what I'm talking about even though I don't." Mr. Christie has held a full time job as an attorney dealing with these things, he probably knows the laws a little better than you or I.

Both parties want the benefit of illegal aliens. The Dems for votes, the GOP for cheap labor. And yes, all politicians are selective on law enforcement, not just the POTUS.

According to several reputable sources that I've located with a simple google search
Please do cite your source. I found an opinion by Chris Christie which disagrees with your assertion. If you google "Christie clarifies: 'Illegal' immigrants are in civil violation" you'll see the article. I think this blog is picky about posting links.
Gov. Christie was a U.S. Attorney for several years and now runs a state. He probably knows a little more about this law and unlike you, he's got a real law degree, and it's not from the University of Google. You're free to cling to your googled assertions. Let me know how that works out.

I agree with those who state this is not a partisan issue. Of course I know conservatives who are angry that people are here illegally and I know many liberals who just want to give people better lives. On the other hand, there are democrats that want all illegals deported and scream that they are taking our jobs and just as many republicans who rationally look at the issue and understand that something has to be done because this country can't make money without a working class.
The bottom line is the damage is done and it was caused by our citizens and our government. When I say "the damage" I mean hundreds of thousands of undocumented persons across the country.
My husband is a landscape contractor. I am a social worker. I've lived this discussion for 20 yrs. We desperately needed these workers in the 90s. Housing was booming, contractors were needed. If our government had just given work visas to those who wanted to work they would have done so and then gone home. Early on, none of their families were here. They just came here and worked. Sure they sent some money back to Mexico but they paid to live here. They paid sales tax and, yes, even property tax. Had it stayed like that, they would have all left when the recession hit. Many did.
But, instead we watched as suddenly they were buying houses and bringing their families over. Why not? We probably live in the only country that has a law that states it is illegal to not educate illegal children. Where else can you buy a house and not even be legally in the country? We made it way to easy. We should have allowed them to work but not have allowed them to set up their lives here. It would have been a win/win situation but now we are in a mess.
Over the years I've known hundreds of illegal children. I've seen how dedicated and mature they can be and I've wondered what was going to happen when they get out of school, can't get a drivers license and can't get a job. They have been in our "everybody's equal" school system, believed the lies and they are going to be in for a shock when told they are actually criminals can can not have a life here. For them, I am thrilled with this decision.
The problem is, many of those kids are going to go on to college and live the American dream. They are not going to be the "working class". We are still going to need a working class and this country is incapable of creating one.
My other concern is that for every hard working illegal child there is a legal child of an illegal who is going to turn into a gang member, moocher off of the system, low life etc.. One of my co-workers said he wanted to create a video called "Immigrant Kids Gone Wild" because we see so many of these kids whose parents are striving to give them a better life and the kids are nothing but thugs in the making.
As someone who has watched this process play out over the past 20 yrs and has been very close to it, I believe that that we need a laws to 1) help the illegal kids work but not make them citizens until at some point they have proven themselves. 2) help their parents work but not make them citizens. I have known Latino men who bring tears to my eyes because of their hard work and dedication to their families. Anyone who ever employs someone like this would never want to hire another American. They are so thankful to be working, are never late, never take off, never slack off. My husband has consistently stated over the years, "they are like well oiled machines". And before I get a lot of slack about hiring illegals, I'll say that we do use e-verify (what a joke that is) and our contractors have tax ID numbers and file taxes every year. A lot of people don't realize that many of these undocumented workers are paying taxes. Employers don't hire these guys because they get cheap labor, they hire them because they are productive. I'm just fearful that that is going to change. America will soon ruin the Latino offspring and take away their work ethic just as it has the American working class. And I blame the citizens, not the government for this. Teach your kids to work hard, to respect their employers, to understand the hierarchy of a business or any place of employment. That they can make it to the top by excelling beyond the others and not just because they deserve to be at the top. My husband and I would love to hire only Americans to work but it seems to us that it must not be that bad to be unemployed in this country because no one seems to want to rake, shovel or lay sod for 12 dollars an hour. No one except the illegals.

@Mountain Man,
I guess its semantics. What we have actually done has been consistent. I don't really listen to all the railing and grandstanding because that's not worth anything. Results are the only thing that matter to me.

"The foreigners here illegally get more 'compassion' from Obama than struggling American citizens…"
If you're struggling, try harder. Based on work I've had done to my condo, Mexicans are prompt, diligent, and thorough, whereas their redneck counterparts in the construction industry are lazy, sloppy, and whiny, as if I'm inconveniencing them by PAYING them to do a job.
Maybe we can send the Toby Keith crowd down to Mexico?

I am glad that husseinco is on the side of an issue that 66-70% of LEGAL Americans..aka legal voters(as opposed to the tens of thousands of illegal voters that husseinco expects to vote for him) are vehemently against.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Reliever Mike Gonzalez and the Milwaukee Brewers have finalized a $2.25 million, one-year contract.
The deal with the 34-year-old left-hander, which had been agreed to on Dec. 28, allows him to earn an additional $400,000 in performance bonuses.
Gonzalez had a 3.03 ERA and no record in 47 games last year with Washington, holding left-handed hitters to a .179 batting average. He has a 17-21 record with a 2.94 ERA and 56 saves with Pittsburgh (2003-06), Atlanta (2007-09), Baltimore (2010-11), Texas (2011) and Washington (2012).
In addition to his base salary, Gonzalez would earn $50,000 for 25 games finished, $75,000 each for 30 and 35, and $100,000 apiece for 40 and 50.
To clear a roster spot, Milwaukee designated right-hander Arcenio Leon for assignment.

Mount hockey seeks a return to state tournament
Mount St. Joseph's Academy's 2009 field hockey season ended with an unfortunate footnote: a 1-0 loss to Radnor High School in a PIAA play-in game, which meant that the Magic would not take part in the Class AAA state tournament for the first time since 2002.
The Magic graduated seven members of its 2009 franchise, which reached the semifinals in the Athletic Association of Catholic Academies and finished with an overall record of 14-7. The most notable departure was that of Boston College recruit Nicole Schuster, a forward who was a four-year starter for the Mount and also participated in the U.S. Junior National Team program.
Two of this year's upperclassmen have already made verbal commitments to play Division I collegiate hockey; forward Natalie Tacka has picked Lehigh University and midfielder Jenna Seybert plans to be nearby at Lafayette College.
Defensive midfielder Mary Jo Horgan is a four-year varsity player, and her classmates on the squad include Bridget Brady (mid/back), Mary Kate Pascalli (back), and Stevie Wells (mid), who all appeared on the varsity roster last fall. Fellow senior Katie O'Brien is moving up to the first team and should play mid or back.
The eighth returning senior this year is veteran goalkeeper Kat Matchett, whose understudies include sophomores Kelsey Jones and Meg Mutzel.
The Sabia sisters, Allie (forward) and Brooke (forward/mid) are back as juniors this season, but for the first time in many years they'll be playing without their former Norwood Fontbonne Academy classmate, back Ali Stever. Stever started for the Mount as a freshman and sophomore, but her family has moved out of state, necessitating a transfer.
Three other 11th graders are joining the varsity roll call; Katie Gozdon (mid/back) Maddie Haas (back), and Laura Pacheco (forward/mid).
Among the sophomores are three players who earned varsity status as freshmen last fall; mid/forward Emilie Ehret and two forwards out of Norwood Fontbonne, Anne Burgoyne and Julia Mustin. In addition to goalie candidates Mutzel and Jones (Jones may also play on the field), the tenth-grade group includes forward Allison Waters.
Head Coach Lois Weber, now entering her ninth season with the Magic, is pleased with the depth and experience of the 2010 squad, and expects a stronger scoring punch from the front row this fall.
"Last year our offensive line was pretty inexperienced with the exception of Nicole Schuster," she noted. "This season we have most of those girls back with a year of varsity competition behind them."
Sharna Shuford is back for her fourth season as MSJ assistant coach, and Mount alumna Jess Mulhern will be helping out, as well. Mulhern started at wing for the Magic, then moved on to the University of Delaware, where she graduated earlier this year.

India today enjoys a unique position in global cotton. It is the second-largest grower and exporter of cotton and is surpassed only by China as a consumer of cotton. It is also one of the significant exporters of cotton yarn and garments.
More than 5.8 million farmers cultivate cotton in India and as many as 50 million people are employed, directly or indirectly, by the cotton industry. Government initiatives like the Technology Mission on Cotton and Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme have improved the marketability of the cotton produced, and helped in modernizing and upgrading of the ginning and pressing factories. These initiatives have led to appreciable improvement in the quality of cotton bales, which in turn have proven beneficial for the textile industry. Furthermore, growing disposable incomes have also accelerated domestic consumption, increasing demand within the country as well.
It is a challenge to provide accurate statistical data for cotton acreage and production in India. There are differences in the production data presented by states, and the production data assessed by the Cotton Advisory Board with regard to consumption and stock on hand, thus making it difficult for the domestic and international cotton industry to formulate business plans.
In 2011/12, a record 12 million hectares were planted by farmers, lured by lucrative returns.
However, the hip-hop in Government export policy and high volatility in price has prompted Indian farmers to look at other alternatives such as maize, groundnut, guarseed and soybean in some areas.
As of September 14, cotton has been planted on 11.4 million hectares, slightly lower than a year ago, but above the last three year average of 11 million hectares.
But acreage is not the only matter of concern; it is output and quality of the crop. Prospects for a good yield depends on rainfall in late September and early October when the crop enters the boll formation phase.
According to the latest updates of the Cotton Advisory Board, cotton output for 2011-12 season is revised upward to 35.7 million bales from its last estimate of 35.3 million bales (of 170 kg each). The ending stocks figures for the 2011-12 season that would end in September, has been revised upward to 2.8 million bales from previous estimates of 2.5 million bales. Exports would be 12.7 million bales against 7.6 million bales in the previous year. India is expected to import 1.2 million bales for the current season ending September 2012.
Based on our recent field study, we remain optimistic on the prospects for Indian yields with recent improvements in rainfall and general weather conditions.
A Slumping Market in India
For a commodity that seemed bullish following a truant monsoon, cotton has wilted due to the increasing intensity of rain in growing areas. The market has dropped by over 10% in a matter of three weeks.
Poor fundamentals in the global market are likely to put pressure on prices. Demand is lackluster despite a lower global output, a factor that may continue to impact cotton prices.
Domestic mill consumption has been reduced by power problems in South India, where the largest spinning mills are located. Lack of export demand in cotton yarn has put pressure on prices of cotton yarn. With prospects of a good cotton crop, mills are in no hurry to buy and stock cotton. Also, most of the imported cotton is yet to arrive.
Seed demand has dropped by about 10% nationally, as more and more farmers have started switching from cotton to other crops. The seed companies are pessimistic that demand will recover even after the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) revised the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for cotton on Sept. 3, 2012 by up to 28%. The hike in MSP would not make any significant impact, as market prices are ruling at par with MSP.
Cotton Quality for 2012/13
In India, there is an unwritten rule that "More the quantity, better the quality". Whenever the crop size is more, quality of cotton is expected to be good. This rule was broken during the last cotton season. Deficiency of rains in the later part of the monsoon season resulted in lower quality of cotton especially from parts of central India. Heavy use of fertilizers and pesticides and inability to apply micronutrients resulted in lower yield and lower maturity in state of Maharashtra, the 2nd largest cotton growing state. There was a fall in the Micronaire value of cotton resulting in heavy losses to the farmers and ginning factories in the state.
The situation this year is slightly different. The rains were deficient in the early part of monsoon season (June to mid-August) but picked up later. Irrigation helped to sustain the cotton crop during the early parts of the sowing season, and the current spell of rains is now expected to help in a better yield.
As per our recent field survey, boll formation is good and there are no traces of major diseases. If the farmers are able to take preventive measures against common expected diseases like red leaf and pests like white fly, the yield and quality of Indian cotton will be good this year.
National Export/Import Policy
If events of the last two years are anything to go by, cotton is at risk of adverse policy changes, as the government will soon review its export policy for rice, wheat, sugar and cotton. Shipments abroad of these commodities might be curbed till the full harvest arrives and the festival season ends.
Their export is allowed under open general license, and there is a registration procedure for cotton. According to officials, a shortage in cotton output is expected due to erratic rain. The free export policy comes to an end in a month. The textile ministry had already recommended a ban on export until the market showed surplus availability for the domestic industry.
Stability and predictability of policy – including the export policy is critical for 2012/13, given the global demand-supply fundamentals including stocks. World cotton prices are unlikely to see a bull run despite the threat of tightening supplies. New York cotton prices are fundamentally bearish. The global impact will be felt on domestic prices.
The data for policy making needs to be as accurate as possible. Significant differences in data collection of acreage, production, consumption and stock make it difficult for the Ministry to coordinate and identify, on a real-time basis, the actual position. A cotton distribution bill with monthly collection of data in public domain, as suggested by V. Sriniwas, joint secretary of Union Textile Ministry, would be highly beneficial.
To overcome the inconsistencies in farm export-import policy, the government must allow a minimum quantity for export of select agri-commodities including cotton to help India become a stable player in the global market. Careful regulation and constant monitoring of data on monthly basis is essential for export-import policy decisions.

Top 4 centrefire rifles for small game
The best guns on the market for hunting varmints
The rifles
For decades, a centrefire varmint rifle was little more than a deer rifle chambered for a popular small-game calibre. But with the emergence of an increasing number of dedicated varmint hunters, or perhaps because of it, manufacturers started specifically designing rifles for long-range accuracy when firing high numbers of rounds.
For the casual varmint hunter, most rifle makers continue to offer small-game chamberings in their standard rifles. But a true varmint rig will feature a heavy, so-called bull barrel that's 24 to 26 inches long. The added weight enables shooters to hold their rifles steadier, a discernable advantage when taking long shots at small targets.
Heavy barrels are also slower to heat—a hot barrel can result in a rifle's point of impact shifting slightly. Some gun makers, in fact, flute the barrels of their varmint rifles to enhance cooling without sacrificing rigidity. Another advantage of heavier rifles is that the increased weight reduces felt recoil, a blessing when many shots may be taken on any given day.
Stocks are also altered on dedicated varmint guns, the most prominent difference being the wide forends that accommodate oversized barrels and help create a steady rest when shooting. Iron sights are seldom found on a varmint rig, as long-range precision shooting demands the use of scopes.

Oct. 14--COLUMBIA, S.C. -- S.C. State Fair -- Ten teams compete in short film challenge
The almost timeless past of the South Carolina State Fair -- which first opened in 1869 -- met the 21st century Sunday as 10 teams of youthful filmmakers wrapped up creating video stories on iMacs and other gadgets the fair's originators could never have imagined.
"The fair's roots are in agriculture, and we're always looking for new ways to make that come alive," said fair assistant general manager Nancy Smith.
To that end, fair officials asked Indie Grits, a 6-year-old Columbia group that sponsors a variety of creative endeavors -- from theater to music to film -- to have a State Fair film festival.
It was also a contest: 10 teams of filmmakers started at 5 p.m., Friday and had 48 hours to produce a video story no more than six minutes long.
The rules were simple: Each film story had to contain recognizable fair features: a ride, a concession item, an animal and a farm food product. Filmmakers also had to abide by a genre, such as romantic, thriller, a horror, comedy, reality TV, a musical -- even a sci-fi and a "Buddy Cop" film. Films had characters, a plot and original music created by the filmmaking team.
Before beginning, each team drew from a bag the elements their film would contain. Aside from that, each team could make up whatever story it wanted.
Filmmaker Garrett James, 13, of Columbia, a home-schooled student, had "horror" as the backdrop for his six-minute short film, distilled from about an hour of footage shot with a Canon camera around the fair.
"It's about a kid that disappears," he said, "and his dad is looking for him, and then there's a creepy guy who everyone suspects is the killer."
James smiled. "I'm not giving anything else away."
But he did say the computer-assisted music his film contained was "a kind of creepy tune" and the most challenging moment came when the plot called for his team to film rabbits at night. "But when we came back at night, the rabbits were all closed up. We had to come back."
James, who wants to make movies when he grows up, stressed his film was very much a team effort involving a lot of work, including family who drove down from Greenville.
As the clock neared the Sunday 5 p.m., deadline for the films to be edited and finished, Cecil Decker, team leader of a group of current and former University of South Carolina media arts students, sat hunched over a table in a back room of a fair exhibit hall.
In some ways, Decker's team had one of the hardest tasks -- its story genre was comedy but the team digitally inserted three animated, cartoon characters who appear in most of the real-life scenes of the three-minute film. There is a guinea pig, a candy bar and a triangular slice of sweet potato pie.
The plot?
"Boy meets girl, candy bar steals girl, and then they chase each other," said Decker, who declined to reveal the ending other than to say, "It's very special."
The music?
"It's kind of like video game music," said Decker, who produced it on an eight-bit synthesizer and mixed that music with fair sounds, such as people walking.
Their film features a night ride on the Spin Out amusement. The technical demands of inserting animated characters in real scenes are time-consuming and complex.
To produce the three minutes, Decker and his team used five laptops -- three for animation, one for editing the video and one to produce the music.
His team included animator-illustrator Michelle Skipper, cinematographer Josh Rose, animator Aidan Zanders, principal editor James Owens and animator Matt Breeden.
Decker said the experience of working under pressure -- and bringing six sometimes conflicting viewpoints in harmony -- was invaluable.
"We had some vigorous discussions. But it ended well. No one blew up and got mad at each other," he said. "It was whatever was best for the film that we could do within the constraints we had."
If they had to do it over, they would only have one main animated character -- each character adds a huge amount of work, he said. "We only got about two hours worth of sleep each," he said.
Indie Grits organizer Seth Gadsden is looking forward to showing the films online and at the fair over the upcoming week.
The rules requiring all the teams to contain certain fair elements should make the film stories more interesting, Gadsden said.
"If you just go out in the world, sometimes you end up being all over the place," Gadsden said.
Fair official Smith said that besides celebrating fair traditions like the concessions, animals and farm produce, the videos are a modern extension of another fair tradition -- its well-known arts show celebrating paintings and drawings in media like watercolor, oil and charcoal.
"As time progresses and things change, you have to go with it," she said.
Prizes in three categories worth a total of $1,250 in cash will be awarded Sunday night, the fair's last day.

As of Thursday, August 23, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Clayton News Daily
When the Associated Press's preseason high school football rankings were released Tuesday, the Southern Crescent had just two teams ranked — one expected and one a surprise.
Eagle's Landing Christian is ranked No. 1 in Class A for the first time in school history. They were going to be ranked. Being the top choice may have surprised some (defending state champion Savannah Christian is ranked No. 4) but there's plenty of reasons the Chargers started the season on top — Keyante Green, Isaac Rochell, Josh Shockley, Keyante Green. Oh, and did I mention Keyante Green?
Stockbridge starts the season at No. 9 in Class AAAA. That was probably a product of the Tigers' historic 9-3 season a year ago. Having Kevin Whitley as coach doesn't hurt either. If Whitley can win at North Springs, he can be trusted to win anywhere.
But the rankings seemed to speak louder about the teams missing than those included.
No Dutchtown, which returns 30 players with varsity experience, a game-changer at quarterback and is just two years removed from the quarterfinals. The Bulldogs didn't even get a vote.
No Jonesboro, which won nine games and returns two SEC commitments in Taurean Ferguson (Vanderbilt) and Cameron Sutton (Tennessee). The Cardinals got seven votes, which was five away from No. 10 Perry and Stephens County.
And no Lovejoy, which finished runner-up in Class AAAA last season and returns 16 starters, a few which you might have heard of. Travis Custis ring a bell? How about Arshad Jackson? The Wildcats were three votes shy of cracking the top 10.
Let's not forget Henry County and North Clayton, either. The Warhawks received one vote in Class AAA, while the Eagles had five in Class AAAA.
But don't worry Dutchtown.
Stay calm Jonesboro.
Please, please, please Lovejoy, this is not the time to panic.
In fact, voters had legitimate reasons to question each team.
Why not Dutchtown?
The Bulldogs went just 5-5 last season. They allowed 20.8 points per game a year after allowing just 7.4 points on their run to the quarterfinals. In a class with Sandy Creek, Burke County, Cairo, Carrollton, Baldwin, Marist and more, Dutchtown had a tough time finding room in the top 10.
Why not Jonesboro?
Yes, the Cardinals went 9-2 last season, hosting a first round playoff game for the first time since 1949, according to the Georgia High School Football Historians Association. Yes, they return Ferguson and Sutton. But they also have big question marks on the offensive line and a quarterback to replace.
And why not Lovejoy?
Despite all the preseason hype for the Wildcats — much of it well-deserved — they had the misfortune of moving up two classifications to AAAAAA. Lovejoy may have four players already committed to FBS schools, but so does Grayson, Walton, Colquitt County, etc., etc.
But if recent history is any indication, the Southern Crescent won't end the season with just two teams ranked.
ELCA was the only team ranked going into last season. By the end, Stockbridge and Lovejoy were, too.
The Chargers were the only ones ranked going into 2010. By the end of the season, Dutchtown joined them.
No one from the Southern Crescent was ranked going into 2008. Mount Zion finished the season No. 8 in Class AAAA.
The Southern Crescent's high school football reputation is one in transition. It's maturing in Henry County, where population growth is increasing the talent and number of schools. It's recovering in Clayton County, where coaches feel like the red-headed step child of metro Atlanta after the tumult of the school system losing its accreditation in 2008.
That means it needs to take advantage of opportunities to make progress.
Dutchtown can do that by beating Griffin for the first time ever next Friday.
Jonesboro can do that by beating Griffin two weeks later.
Lovejoy can do that by upsetting No. 3-ranked Colquitt County or beating highly-regarded Alpharetta.
Do that and you're ranked.
Do that and the state will take notice.

On campus, the broken limbs of trees in the parking lots fell onto cars parked below. Police and fire crews all across the Weber County area were kept busy with traffic accidents, tree limbs leaning into or falling on power lines and the resulting loss of power to traffic signals.Photos by Marc Fuller-The Signpost In Utah: keep all butts By Cathy McKitrick senior reporter-SgHws The Utah Indoor Clean Air Act, which went into force in 1995, prohibits smoking in public buildings and is being enforced at Weber State University by the implementation of warning signs posted on the doors of every building on campus. A 1996 revision to this act allows smoking outside of double entry doors with a vestibule in between which are at least 25 feet away from an air intake or an open window. Vi- Large cans with sand in them have been conveniently placed at these locations for disposal of cigarette butts. The sign on these doors states that no smoking is allowed in the building. If the entry door is single, close to an air intake or an open window, it bears the sign that smokers need to be 25 feet away. "Our goal is to ensure clean air in every building on campus," said Nancy Fox, WSU's environmental safety manager. "Studies have been done on Environmental Tobacco Smoke which now classify it as a .4 J 25 feet from building 'Class A' carcinogen." The United States Environmental Protection Agency studied the effects of second-hand smoke in buildings, and its dangers to non-smokers. The " study determined that cigarette smoke contains 43 chemicals known to cause cancer in humans.

Renovations don't show on outside By Niki Tonks news writer-Signpost The social science building renovations puzzle some students but please others. This past summer, Weber State University's social science building was closed for renovations, but some students can't see any of the changes that were to have been made. "It's hard to get around it took me 20 minutes to find my SI class," said Sasha Johnson, a sophomore. Many students hoped the closure was to renovate the building's numbering system. "Something needs to be done with it, but what's the point of closingthe building if nothing gets done?" WSU student Maria Rufener said.' "It looks the same as it did last year." , : Most of the changes can't be seen, but felt. Tom VanCleave, assistant di ETS are smaller than in mainstream smoke. For the smokers, the toxic particles are large, and deposit themselves in the mouth and larger airways in the lungs. For non-smokers exposed to ETS, the toxic particles are significantly smaller, and can make their way into the small air sacs in the lungs. Fiona Bivens, residence hall director for Promontory Tower and Wasatch Hall, said they try to accommodate smokers while complying See Smoke page 3 disasters, extreme poverty, all forms of violence and those with disabilities.Through its many regional offices, which are located in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and New York, UNICEF works with governments and community organizations in order to help meet the needs of children.

Even greater support is rendered to the least developed nations, and especially to those children under age five, who suffer from major causes of death and disease. See Time page 5 rector of the physical plant said they closed the building to install a total mechanical system upgrade for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning. They also changed the lighting system in the offices. "Due to a hick of controls and the antiquated system, we were having a big temperature problem," VanCleave said. . . : The social science building sees so much traffic that the old system just wasn't working properly.: "We had to freeze people out of the offices to keep the classrooms comfortable," VanCleave said. The old system also caused problems in the computer lab, so the physical plant also installed a separate air conditioner for the computer labs to protect the systems.So what about the numbering system?

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Last week, the Legal Affairs Committee of the European Parliament seemed to give the green light to a compromise rewriting of the regulation governing the creation of the EU unitary patent. Previously, it had maintained that a deal done by European ministers in June, at the insistence of the UK government, recommending the removal of articles 6 to 8 of the regulation, could not stand. Now, however, the committee has agreed to their removal and their replacement by a new Article 5a. Articles 6-8 of the regulation had dealt with the role of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the new unitary system. Article 5a does not mention the court.
German patent lawyer Ingve Stjerna, who has followed the EU patent debate very closely, has been in touch with me to explain that as far as he can see what the committee agreed to last week runs contrary to everything its members have been saying up to now:
In order to resolve the stalemate following the EU summit in June 2012 and the suggested removal of articles 6 to 8 from the draft "unitary patent" Regulation, which had always been defended by the European Parliament as an essential element of the Regulation, the Cypriot presidency of the Council of Ministers brought forward a compromise proposal. This suggests the removal of articles 6 to 8 from and their replacement with a new article 5a. Unlike articles 6 to 8, this new article does not define any contents of the rights from and the limitations to the "unitary patent", but simply refers to the court agreement and the national law of the member states. It seems doubtful whether such an approach is compatible with the chosen legal basis for the Regulation, which is article 118 (1) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union.
Stjerna has written a paper which details his concerns and seeks to explain where things now stand from his perspective. You can access it here.
If Stjerna is right, either the Legal Affairs Committee of the Parliament seems to have been persuaded that its previous stance was completely wrong (in which case perhaps the endorsement of the new regime by the full European Parliament in December may not be quite as certain as some (including me) had thought); or, as he states in his paper:
The real purpose of the compromise appears to avoid new negotiations, which would as such now be necessary, at any cost and to come to a result on the basis of the agreement reached in December 2011, however this may look. Thereby, the quality of the system appears to no longer play any role. It seems that the agreement mainly serves the purpose to demonstrate the ability, after 30 years of efforts, to create something which can be sold as a European "unitary patent". Whether its concrete design is suited to improve the global competitiveness of the European industry appears doubtful, but also appears to be of minor importance.
We all know how well things go when EU member states and the Commission decide to fudge issues instead of ensuring they are fully thought-through and dealt with as thoroughly as possible. A patent built on political compromise, ambiguity and the lowest common denominator will undoubtedly prove immensely popular, especially among SMEs, and work smoothly, with absolutely no possibility of unforeseen problems damagingly exploding further down the line. And now, if you will forgive me, I must go and feed my flying pigs!
IP politics, IP litigation, Patents
No doubt, it is a serious issue that the compromise may be questioned from the point of view of Article 118 (1) of the EU treaty as well as the way it came about.
No less serious is the issue of the legal quality of Art 5a and its effects. It is far from clear what it will mean that the Unified Patent Court shall apply national law in deciding on the interpretaion of the rights from and the limitations to the "unitary patent". The provisions on this subject in the court agreement are already inplemented in national laws of Member States but their interpretation by national courts is not uniform and will not become so by including these basic provisions in the court agreement. Actually, the inclusion in Article 5a of rules for establishing which national law to apply in a particular case shows that this is essential for the interpretation of the basic provisions.
Article 5a requires the scope of the patent right and its limitation to be uniform in all participating Member States in which the patent has unitary effect. However, the reference to national laws, the interpretation of which may continue to differ, contradicts that all patentees will enjoy uniform protection for their patens with so called unitary protection. Since Article 5a will be EU law, it will be the task of the Court of Justice to interpret its said requirement but that means that the object of not extending the tasks of the court by including Articles 6-8 will not be achieved.

How Home Schooling Prepared Me for College
- Monday, February 04, 2002
Although my parents did not earn their degrees in education, they were wonderful teachers who made it possible for me to learn at my own pace. After dinner, my dad and I would clear aside the dinner dishes to study Latin at the dining room table. I showed him the translations that I had done that day. Every lesson was accompanied by Latin phrases to memorize, the first of which was appropriately "Propria domus omnes optima" (Ones own home is the best of all). I was fascinated with the connections between English and Latin and often marveled at my discoveries out loud: "Oh, terra means earth! Thats where extra-terrestrial, terrain, and terra cotta come from!" I now realize that my Latin class was not just a language class. Because we were not bound by time, we frequently set aside "class periods" at the dining room table to discuss the influence of Rome on Western cultures as we sipped after-dinner coffee.
While my parents were loving and conscientious teachers, they also were my guides, encouraging me to feed myself intellectually. My mom's favorite response to any query from British history to Abraham Lincoln was "Look it up." At first, I would whine and stomp my way to the bookshelf. As my questions were consistently answered in this manner, I automatically visited our encyclopedia shelf, as well as the rest of our massive and eclectic book collection. Through this practice of satiating my curiosity by forcing me to answer my own questions, my parents slowly taught me how to learn. My parents also taught me that asking questions and seeking answers is an important practice that can, and should be, a part of everyday life.
