Fox News broadcast misleading reports about a Washington, D.C. initiative to transition homeless families from emergency shelters to year-round housing, hyping the supposed cost to "taxpayers" and mocking the city for "indefinitely" housing homeless families in "hotels."Research 17 minutes ago
Robert Morrow is the co-author of the forthcoming book The Clintons' War on Women with former top Donald Trump aide Roger Stone. Morrow has wished death on Hillary Clinton and been visited by the Secret Service; posted bizarre sexual writings about the former secretary of state; called Chelsea Clinton a "slut" and imagined how she would "have sex one day" with Bill Clinton; posted about "niggers" and "pro-faggot JUDICIAL ACTIVISM"; and claimed the Bush and Clinton families were involved in murders.

Fox News invoked "black-on-black crime" in its ongoing attempt to dismiss the concerns of the Black Lives Matter movement, which aims to shine a spotlight on police violence in black communities. Experts have thoroughly dismantled the "black-on-black crime" deflection, pointing out that intra-racial crime is not unique to black communities and that "black-on-black crime" reduces a complex history of institutionalized racism and segregation to one phenomenon. Meanwhile, African Americans are more than twice as likely to be killed by police -- and almost twice as likely to be unarmed -- than their white counterparts.Research 1 hour and 21 minutes ago

After 36 years in Silver Spring, a well-known school for children with learning disabilities has moved to Hyattsville, a change officials said allows the school to be located where demand has been the greatest: Prince George's County.
Chelsea School, a nonpublic school that serves grades 5 through 12, consists mostly of publicly funded students — children whose tuition is paid by their local school system because they need more specialized help than a public school can provide, according to Head of School Kate Fedalen. Nonpublic schools, which are approved by the Maryland State Department of Education, are independent from the school system, but provide some publicly funded services.
Enrollment at the school has declined over the years — the school has about 70 students now compared to 100 about a decade ago — and the students are now predominantly from Prince George's County, Chelsea officials said. Prince George's funded tuition for 33 students at the school last year, while Montgomery funded three, according to school data.
"The move will enable the school system to work closely with the Chelsea School to align curriculum demands and foster efforts to return students to their neighborhood schools, as ready," said ShaVon McConnell, a Prince George's County schools spokeswoman.
The shift coincides with the expansion of special education programs in Montgomery and Prince George's County public schools. Montgomery increased its special education budget from $182 million in 2004 to $279 million in 2013, according to Brian Edwards, chief of communications for the Montgomery County school system. Last year, Montgomery funded 513 nonpublic students — down from 657 in 2004.
"We've become much better over the last 10 years in being able to meet a broader array of needs of our students," he said, explaining the decrease in the number of students who get funding for private schools.
Similarly, Prince George's has increased its special education budget while reducing nonpublic enrollment by about 300 students in the last five years, to approximately 900 students, said Mary Bell, a coordinating supervisor of special education for Prince George's County public schools.
"We try to build and sustain as many students as we can in their neighborhood schools," she said.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act requires schools to provide special-education students a free and appropriate education. Under Maryland law, parents must prove the school system cannot provide an appropriate education in order to receive county funding for use at a private school.
Parents in Montgomery and Prince George's counties said getting county funding can be challenging.
Nancy Doumchick of Greenbelt, who has a son with a language-based learning disorder at Chelsea School, said her child was underserved in the Prince George's school system, but the county would not provide reimbursement.
"It's a very frustrating process, and I understand why some people don't want to through with it," Doumchick said.
Montgomery County resident Sherry Lamper enrolled her daughter in Chelsea School, but will send her to public school in the fall after trying for three years to get Montgomery County to provide private school funding.
"You're not entitled to the best education. You're entitled to a free and appropriate education," Lamper said. "But what parent is going to say they don't want the best for their child?"
Chelsea School's new building is located at 2970 Belcrest Center Drive, adjacent to the Prince George's Plaza Metro station.
The facility will feature state-of-the-art classrooms and a student lounge, Fedalen said.
"We're using this as an opportunity to make upgrades to what has been a pretty archaic wireless and technology system," said Frank Mills, director of education.
Doumchick said she will continue paying tuition for her son to stay at Chelsea School.
"Bottom line is, he's where he needs to be now, and we're grateful for that," she said.

Law is more than a profession, it's a calling: "Making a difference" through restorative justice
from the article by Michael C. Deering:
Before entering law school, a soon-to-be attorney dreams of "making a difference." He dreams of representing clients as he advocates for truth and justice, as he lends his voice to those who cannot speak, as he defends the innocent and the young, and sets the wrong to right.
Then, reality sets in. Dreams of justice and zealous representation give way to stress and the everyday rigors of law school. Reading, briefing, and writing overwhelm the student. After three years of arduous work, the student graduates. Facing bar preparation, job searching in an economy that causes seasoned attorneys to shudder, and a mountain of educational debt, the graduate accepts work wherever he can find it.

Monday, May 24, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 24, 2004) -- Sixth-seeded East Tennessee State opens Southern Conference Tournament play Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. against third-seeded The Citadel from Riley Park in Charleston, S.C. The Bucs come into the tournament at 28-28, 15-15 in SoCon games. The Bulldogs are currently 33-25, 21-9 in conference games.

East Tennessee State comes into the tournament led by junior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.), sophomore first baseman Blake Church (Roswell, Ga.) and senior shortstop Andy Howdeshell (Maryville, Tenn.). Moore leads the country with a .466 batting average and 30 doubles while Church is hitting .362 and Howdeshell is batting .357. Moore also leads the team with 58 runs scored while Church paces the team with 53 RBIs. Howdeshell leads the squad with 11 home runs and is second on the Bucs with 48 RBIs and 55 runs scored. Howdeshell was named Southern Conference Player of the Week on Monday after batting .571 with three homers and five RBIs this past weekend against Furman.

This month I share my dharma talk – given on TEDx – it could have been called many names, like the Power of Loving Kindness. I explore through my personal and professional experience how our 'stinking thinking' can be our biggest addiction. It is the cause of heedlessness – and it has been said: 'That those who are heedless are like the dead, and those who are heedful do not die.' When we are heedful we are mindful, attentive and aware. When we are heedless we are negligent, thoughtless and undmindful.
When we are addicted to our 'stinking thinking' we are on the path of the death, there is no room for mindfulness. Yes of … Read more »

Hey, don't know if it was posted or if it has anything to do with last night's shutdown, but I can't get an imported avatar to work at all. When you go to edit avatar, it takes the url and you save it, but it doesn't show up when you post. When you go back to the edit avatar page, you only get "http://www." in the box. The rest of the addy is not there. And it doesn't seem to matter what imported pic you use. The avatars on this site work fine however. Just something I wanted to report.
Basically, I'm trying to get this to show up...
...but seem to be having trouble doing so. So I'm using one of the provided ones on the avatar page.
Thanks. If you see any more problems, let us know. This way we finish faster.

Genealogy/ Cremation/Burial Register
Birmingham introduced a computerised Register and Appointments system for all cemeteries and crematoria in 1989. Since 1989 the details of cremations have been entered into the appropriate paper register and an electronic register. The burial records have been entered into an electronic register since 1996. Birmingham City Council has also arranged to have some of the older paper registers back entered onto the electronic registers. This back entry of the paper registers to electronic format will continue as funding permits.
If you are researching your family tree you can carry out an online Genealogy Survey of the available electronic burial and cremation register records but should you fail to find the information that you are searching for you can request a search of the paper registers to be carried out by staff or request a certified copy of the full burial register entry by either contacting the appropriate site office or by submitting an Online Order/Enquiry. A fee may be charged by the City Council for this service, please refer to the Birmingham City Council Fees and Charges in respect of Municipal Cemeteries & Crematoria for appropriate costs of this service.
Birmingham City Council offer this information in good faith. However, the City Council cannot be held responsible for any errors, omissions or exceptions. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the information is accurate, you are advised to perform your own verification of this data.
The Birmingham Register Office may also be able to supply information to assist in your research.

Echo & the Bunnymen are an English post-punk band, formed in Liverpool in 1978. The original line-up consisted of vocalist Ian McCulloch, guitarist Will Sergeant and bass player Les Pattinson, supplemented by a drum machine. By 1980, Pete de Freitas had joined as the band''s drummer, and their debut album, Crocodiles, met with critical acclaim and made the UK Top 20. Their second album, Heaven Up Here (1981), again found favour with the critics and reached number 10 in the UK Album chart. The band''s cult status was followed by mainstream success in the mid-1980s, as they scored a UK Top 10 hit with "The Cutter", and the attendant album, Porcupine (1983), reached number 2 in the UK. Their next release, Ocean Rain (1984), continued the band''s UK chart success, and has since been regarded as their landmark release, spawning the hit singles "The Killing Moon", "Silver" and "Seven Seas". One more studio album, Echo & the Bunnymen (1987), was released before McCulloch left the band to pursue a solo career in 1988. The following year, de Freitas was killed in a motorcycle accident, and the band re-emerged with a new line-up. Original members Will Sergeant and Les Pattinson were joined by Noel Burke as lead singer, Damon Reece on drums and Jake Brockman on keyboards. This new incarnation of the band released Reverberation in 1990, but the disappointing critical and commercial reaction it received culminated with a complete split in 1993.

Pianist Donald Berman is recognized as a chief exponent of new works by living composers, overlooked music by 20th century masters, and recitals that link classical and modern repertoires. His 2-volume The Unknown Ives and The Uncovered Ruggles represents the only recordings of the complete short piano works of Charles Ives and Carl Ruggles extant. Recent recordings include the 4-CD set Americans in Rome: Music by Fellows of the American Academy in Rome, The Light That Is Felt: Songs of Charles Ives (with Susan Narucki, soprano), and Wasting the Night: Songs of Scott Wheeler.
Recent concerts include premieres of Christopher Theofanidis's Piano Concerto with orchestras of Belgrade, Columbus, Ohio, and Hartford, CT; and an electro-acoustic program When Brahma Sleeps presented by Le Poisson Rouge (NYC). He is the recipient of the 2010 Classical Recording Foundation's Samuel Sanders Collaborative Artist Award and the Radcliffe Fellowship at Harvard University.
Berman teaches at Tufts University, Northeastern, co-directs the New England Conservatory Summer Piano Institute, and is Treasurer of the Charles Ives Society. A prizewinner of the 1991 Schubert International Competition, Berman studied with Leonard Shure, John Kirkpatrick, George Barth, and Mildred Victor.

It's been a couple years since I did any aluminum but I went to the shop to do an aluminum tig job (simple inside corner) on the Miller Shopmaster 300. It has a MIG feeder and a TIG HF unit (and I could hear the HF) on it. Has a bottle of Argon that was running about 50CFH. I verified gas coming out of the TIG torch and reduced it to around 20 before I struck an arc.
The shop owner told me that about a year ago the capacitors blew and he sent it out for repair. The LWS sent it to W Va (Miller repair depot) for repair and it worked when it came back. Then later on, it simply stopped welding and he hasn't been able to get it to work at all.
I tried it and the tungsten was sharp and all work was clean.
I set the amperage at about 100 amps AC and attempted to strike an arc but only got a rough arc. I was finally able to get a puddle but the arc was still EXTREMELY rough and unstabe like it had no gas. The tungsten melted and the cup got red hot and cracked.
I was at no time able to make a good puddle as I've done with other welders and what little I was able to do was simply CHEWING GUM.
Does anybody have suggestions ?

ShopMaster 300 not working correctly
You say that you can hear the HF, can you see it off the end of the torch?? Maybe your torch is not hooked up right in the HF box.

Well, just cause something worked laaaassst time, doesn't mean it worked correctly. So if it worked last time the problem must be with the operator certainly NOT with the machine or hookups.

Try stick welding in both AC and DC. If good, the look at your HF box .
Down load the operators manual from this web site and make sure it is connected correctly. If all good the pull the cover off the HF points and look at them.
The arc should be crackling and not a soft buzz. Also see if the points are 1/2 inch or 1/4 inch dia. The 1/4 inch sized points holder has a bad habit of failing.
Miller has a kit to put the 1/2 inch size ones in. If you have the 1/2 in size they made need to be replaced if they a pitted or very dirty.Glenn 300 amp stick

I went back to the shop and removed all the accessories so I could verify the power supply. I set it up for stick with 6013 and was able to lay a smooth bead with it.
I then attached the tig torch and HF unit and opened the gas bottle (Argon). Again, I verified gas flow and post flow with the torch pointed into my ear. Yes, I turned the HF off before I did this.
I tried to lay a bead on SS. The arc was ROUGH and noisy, almost like the a wrong gas bottle was hooked up to the manifold but this time the only bottle hooked up was ARGON. I never was able to get it to form a decent puddle. I tried AC and DC/both polarities.
The stainless was .050 and the tungsten was .065. Every time, the tungsten melted and the base metal burned thru.
I varied the current all over the place, changed the HF settings too.
I took the side covers off the power supply to visually check and the main switch was in good shape, with all the sections operating normally/properly.
I also checked the circuit board visually and found no evidence of a bad connector or burned component on the board.
At this point, I'm at a total loss as to WTF is wrong.
OK, for steel gas must be 20 CFH Argon is ok
Straight polarity in tig (neg to torch pos to ground clamp)
HF in start
Now its not nessessary to even use the HF starter in Steel, just scratch start to the work piece off a piece of scrap
For Aluminum
AC only
HF in continuous

Test ID: 60198
HER2, Gastric/Esophageal, Semi-Quantitative Immunohistochemistry, Manual
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Determining overexpression of HER2 protein of gastric and esophageal adenocarcinoma in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The HER2 (official gene name ERBB2) proto-oncogene encodes a membrane receptor with tyrosine kinase activity and homology to the epidermal growth factor receptor.
Amplification and overexpression of the HER2 gene have been associated with a shorter disease-free survival and shorter overall survival in gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancers, as well as breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancer.(1,2)
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Reported as negative (0, 1+), equivocal (2+), and positive (3+)
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Results are reported as positive (3+ HER2 protein expression), equivocal (2+), or negative (0 or 1+).
Equivocal (2+) cases will automatically reflex to H2GEF / HER2 Amplification Associated with Gastroesophageal Cancer, FISH, Tissue at an additional charge.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The performance and quality of immunohistochemical stains in 10% neutral buffered formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue depends on proper fixation. It is recommended (not required) for surgical specimens to be fixed between 18 and 24 hours and biopsy specimens between 6 and 8 hours.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Okay, we're convinced. Deborah Lippmann is a mind reader. Lately, we've been spending at least 95% of our waking hours dreaming of warmer weather. And, like magic, her aptly titled new Spring Reveries collection found its way into our lives.
Once we got over the initial shock of Lippmann's apparent clairvoyance, we took a good look at the polishes themselves — and were totally in awe of the sheer amount of prettiness packed into the bottles before us. The six soft-hued shades are prime examples of pastel done right. Think mod, not Easter egg. First on our mani must-have list? Spring Buds, a pale pistachio, and La Vie En Rose, a shimmery petal pink.
So, all we can say is thank you, Deborah Lippmann. You've restored the pep in our step and finally given us hope that there is life beyond the polar vortex.

Nico Hulkenberg is refusing to rule out a second season at Sauber after Monsisha Kaltenborn stated she would happily hold onto her driver...
Nico Hulkenberg is refusing to rule out a second season at Sauber after Monsisha Kaltenborn stated she would happily hold onto her driver.
After a trying start to the season with Sauber, Hulkenberg and his team have found form since the revised Pirelli tyres were introduced.
Scoring 47 points in total, including a sixth place in Sunday's United States GP, Sauber have expressed a desire to hold onto their driver who has been linked to a move to Lotus or a return to Force India in 2014.
Asked about his team boss' comments, the German said: "That's good news, isn't it."
Pressed as to whether are in the frame, he added: "I want to be in Formula 1 at first and then after we have to see.
"I want to get a car that's able to do what we're doing now basically to well in the points and I wouldn't mind to be on the podium every now and then. But certainly Sauber is one of the possible options."
However, for now, Hulkenberg is still waiting for word from Lotus
"It's not entirely my decision, I'm also dependent on a few answers from different teams.
"It's really hard to say. I wouldn't like to say anything in terms of a timeframe because I don't know whether I can keep that or be within that."

Product Reviews / Main Nibbles / Salsas & Dips
Gourmet Salsa
America's Favorite Condiment Is A Low-Calorie Sauce, Dip & Ingredient
CAPSULE REPORT: There's a reason why salsa is America's best-selling condiment. For almost no calories, you get good tomato flavor, as much heat as you want (or don't want), vitamins A and C, and lots of variety. Go to a few different specialty food stores, and you can have a different flavor of salsa every night of the month, from smoky chipotle to sweet peach. Far beyond Mexican food and tortilla chips, salsa is a sauce for meat and fish, vegetables, rice—even a dip for fries. And, while it's a dip by itself, it mixes with other dip material—sour cream and mayonnaise—to create creamy sauces. All of our selections would make nice salsa gifts for your favorite salsa lover, vegetarian or dieter. Green Mountain Gringo is kosher.
There are hundreds of brands of salsa for sale in the U.S. From supermarket brands to specialty brands, salsas have basic ingredients such as tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and chiles. While It's hard to make bad salsa from such simple ingredients, specialty brands use better ingredients and more complex seasonings, and taste distinctly better. (They are also all-natural, which means preservative-free, among other things.)
The brands in today's tasting have been around for a while and have many fans. They're red salsas, salsas rojas, which mean they're tomato based. While the ingredients are similar, the flavor profiles are very different, thanks to varying spices and other seasonings. It's important to point out that these are cooked salsas: In order to be shelf-stable, food has to be cooked to a certain point. The vegetables thus have a different consistency, and the sauces a different personality, than the salsas crudas, raw salsas, that are offered at Mexican restaurants.
Beyond Mexico, each Latin American country has its own specialty salsa that tends to be the "national condiment." Ingredients vary widely, from the chimichurri sauce of Argentina and Paraguay—a spicy parsley vinaigrette—to Peru's peri-peri sauce (which some people think is going to be the next big thing in the U.S.), a thick sauce based on oil and vinegar but colored and flavored by garlic, chiles and other spices.
Americans are mostly familiar with one type of red Mexican salsa and its many different flavor variations. There are actually many variations of salsa in Mexico: Each region has its own specialty, and tomatoes are not a primary salsa ingredient in most areas. Tomato salsas are more common in northern Mexico, where the recipe crossed the Rio Grande and became part of the Tex-Mex cuisine that Americans have come to know.
The Salsas
Proving that salsa is America's favorite condiment no matter what part of the country you live in, we tasted three brands, from Fort Worth, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and greater Chicago. They are presented in alphabetical order.
Of particular note, the Roasted Salsa has an exquisite smoky flavor, like a thick, epicurean adobo sauce. For those who like it hot, the Mango Habañero Salsa adds a touch of sweet tropical fruit to a hot habañero sauce. Our first impression was of a very hot sweet-and-sour sauce—the mild Peach Salsa, by comparison seemed like child's play.
Salsa Recipes
Salsa is great as a dip, but you can cook with it, too. Whether it's the Mexican "fudge" instead of nachos, or the soup, chicken or fish recipes, salsa is a shortcut to delicious dishes.

Pressed flowers make lovely cards, pictures, pretty boxes, and much more. Here's instructions on how to press those lovely blooms.
- Pick flowers, grasses, and ferns on a dry afternoon, avoiding flowers with complex petals and thick stems.
- Arrange your finds between sheets of smooth blotting paper and weight them down with heavy books or bricks.
- Leave undisturbed in a warm, dry place for three to four weeks.
- Using tweezers, move the dried flowers to a card or piece of paper, and affix them carefully with diluted white glue.
- You may want to spray the finished arrangement with a clear acrylic spray or, if you put the flowers on a box, use clear varnish.
Make your own flower press using two pieces of wood with holes drilled in each corner. Assemble the press by placing flowers and blotting paper between the boards, then slide a bolt up through each corner. Use wing nuts with washers to tighten the two boards together.
Have you pressed flowers? We'd love to hear from you. Just post your comment below!

By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.

We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
The gift of Love must be the gift of freedom, the gift of a degree of letting-be, and this can be expected to be true of all creatures to the extent that is appropriate to their proper character. It is in the nature of dense snow fields that they will sometimes slip with the destructive force of an avalanche. It is the nature of lions that they will seek their prey. It is the nature of cells that they will mutate, sometimes producing new forms of life, sometimes grievous disabilities, sometimes cancers.

Maria Hoefl-Riesch has decided to end her glittering skiing career, that has seen her win 4 Olympic medals, three Gold and a silver medal; 1 Overall globe and 5 discipline Globes and 27 World Cup races wins across Downhill, Super G, Slalom and Super Combined: A true Champion from the HEAD World Cup Rebels team.
"The decision has been made: I'm finishing my career as an active skier," Hoefl-Riesch said in Munich. "I gave everything I had for another Olympic medal, I worked hard to fulfil this dream again. It went well in the super combined in Sochi, and this was a big relief for me. The decision was not easy but I am of the opinion you should stop when you are at your best," she explained.
The numbers are impressive on their own yet Maria was always open and friendly in dealing with both her fans and the media. It was on Twitter that she made the decision to retire public to her vast number of fans around the world after a press conference in Munich.
Johan Eliasch, CEO of HEAD, said: "Maria has been a tremendous asset for the racing team and our brand. With 27 race wins and the multiple medals and Globes she has won, she has proved that she is one of the greats of the sport. Although we are very sad that she decided to end her successful career, I wish her all the best for her future."
Maria collected her final Globe, the Downhill Globe for this season and was in the mix for the Overall all the way up to the end of the season until illness and injury curtailed her season. In a World Cup career that started in February 2001 and ended in March 2014, Maria stood on the podium 81 times from 356 starts on the World Cup and was a constant contender in the race for the Overall, only Giant Slalom eluded her in terms of race wins.
"I've been thinking a long time whether to do another season. The decision was not easy, but I think I am right. This was a fantastic career, I was in front in all disciplines over the years," she explained.
And what are her plans for the future? "I'll enjoy a holiday and the feeling of not having to think about next season," she said.
All at HEAD wish Maria all the best for her future.

A massive transfer of wealth has been occurring on an accelerated rate with the cooperation of the Federal Reserve and the federal government. Persons who have lived within their means and have been successful have seen their cash savings and CDs earning a progressively lower rate of return. Interest rates on cash assets have dropped to nearly zero as the Fed provides money to banks at nearly no cost and artificially keeps interest rates low by printing money in order to allow the federal government to borrow and spend out of control.
Everyone will eventually have to pay for this government debt, but short term it is the savers (many of whom are retirees) who are paying the bill through lost earning power of their cash assets. Look at the interest rates offered by financial institutions on savings accounts or CDs. In most cases it is less than 0.1 percent. That means if you have $100,000 in cash assets, you will earn $100 dollars on it in a year. After taxes (yes, you must pay income tax on the $100), you cannot buy a tank of gas on the one-year return on $100,000 investment.
For most retirees their income is a combination of Social Security, pensions and investment income. In a strong economy the investment income can be the largest portion of total income. That portion is nearing zero now with the government's monetary policies and the weak economy. What chance does the economy have to improve when the investors cannot get a reasonable rate of return on their investment? Who profits from a monetary policy like this?
A government that ignores or does not even submit a budget and then spends out of control delays its financial reckoning. Individuals who mirror the government in their personal finances have lower interest rates on their debt. The millions of "takers" from local, state and federal government encourage the continuation of this kind of financial policy to get their "freebies." Taking care of those in real need is quite different from the unsustainable gravy train that has been institutionalized with this policy. This cannot continue. The tank will run dry. Economic facts do mean something. The more wealth government consumes, the less economic growth will occur. Society must lovingly care for its weakest and less fortunate, but that portion of society should never be remotely near a majority.

Far from palms, exotic drinks and sunbeds, Reynisfjara in Vík, Iceland features the most beautiful black-sand beach. Windy conditions and absolutely no sunbathing.
Right on the beach you'll find the mountain Reynisfjall with a majestic basalt playground, made specifically, by nature, for humans to risk their lives jumping or puffins to risk their offspring nesting.
This place is like no other, but despite the cold winds, this is by far my all-time favorite beach.

Agree, its just a tool and interesting one at that.

I shall probably keep the camera because of this advantage for candid shots.

Michael, your recent review of the Canon SX 50 briefly discussed the Panasonic FZ200 and its f/2.8 25-600mm lens, and said "Otherwise the cameras are quite comparable". Which seems to imply the the IQ from the FZ200 and SX 50 are pretty much the same. But you raved about the SX 50 IQ compared to other super-zooms.
So I'm confused about how you rate the IQ of the FZ200 compared to the SX 50.

I used and enjoyed the FZ200, but in the end decided not to review it. It will make a great travel camera for someone who doesn't have extremely high standards, but in the end it's a small sensor camera with all that that entails in terms of IQ.

I bought an FZ200 as a birthday present for my other half and after several months of use have formed a view of its strengths and weaknesses. She used it for wildlife shots when we visited a local zoo recently and this is its best area. In all the pixel peeping talk its easy to forget that this is a little camera which is easy to use and carry around which gives you a fantastic reach. The sort of wildlife shots that were once the preserve of pros with their 600mm lenses can now be taken on an inexpensive camera. The image stabilisation works very well and combined with the f2.8 aperture allows you to get passable shots even on a dull day. As far as quality goes I wont pretend that it stands comparison with any EOS model but shooting in raw and processing in LR4 will usually give a pleasing 8 by 12 inch print. The main difficulty is blowing out of the highlights and while LR4 can bring a lot of detail back from a raw it cant work miracles. When photographing small animals, barrel distortion is not a concern. The noise can be dealt with up to a point in LR4 but again cant compare with any EOS. Its still a better result than you could get from most types of film.
In comparison her Canon S95 gives cleaner results for shots in the 28 100mm (equivalent) range. Think of the FZ200 as a camera for long telephoto shooting .

The FZ200 has two advantages (of sorts) over the SX50.
1-the f2.8 stop
2-a much better EVF
and one disadvantage in the the resulting pictures are somewhat better (noise, sharpness) with the SX50 but not in a major way for me.
But I find both of these cameras work well for telephoto shots that can be done with DSLRs but with large and very heavy lens that cost much more than both these cameras combined and weight more that both cameras combined.
My wife finds the FZ200 great for backyard shots using the zoom at 400-600 mm length.
I am still trying the SX50 out and very much like the extra reach for bird shots and can follow birds in flight 75% or more of the time.
Works for me.

1-the f2.8 stop
2-a much better EVF
The EVF on the FZ200 was my first experience of EVFs. I don't like it, period. If the EVF on the SX50 is noticeably worse, then that's a huge negative for me.
The big attraction of the SX50 is undoubtedly its 1200mm effective maximum focal length. However, the fact that the maximum aperture at 1200mm is 2 & 1/2 stops down from that of the FZ200 at 600mm equivalent, must have a significant effect on the usefulness of that 1200mm focal length on the SX50.
Even if the camera is on a tripod, all subject movement at 1200mm is magnified to a greater extent than at 600mm. Without a tripod, whether the subject is moving or not, the minimum shutter speed at 1200 for a sharp shot will be double that required at 600mm, assuming that both cameras have equally effective image stabilisation.
Instead of, for example, 1/640th exposure at F2.8, 600mm and ISO 100 with the FZ200, with 1200mm one would need to use 1/1250th at F2.8, and ISO 200, if the image is not static and/or if one doesn't have a tripod
But one doesn't have the option of F2.8 on the SX50, so one would have to use 2 & 1/2 stops higher ISO than ISO 200, which is between ISO 1,000 and ISO 1250.
At such high ISOs the SX50 shot is going to be rather noisy and degraded, which sort of diminishes the advantage of that 1200mm focal length.
I can't say the SX50 particularly excites me, but it would be interesting to see some comparisons between the FZ200 at F2.8, 600mm and ISO 100, and the SX50 at 1200mm, F6.5 and ISO 1250.
Another issue, of course, is the accuracy of the Canon nominated ISOs on the SX50. DXOMark have not provided test results for the FZ200 yet (rather slack of them), but the DXO tests for the FZ200's predecessor, the FZ150, show a remarkable match with Panasonic's nominated ISOs. They're 'spot on', implying that Panasonic are using the same standard as DXO.
If Canon are not using the same standard, the meaningful comparison might be between a 600mm shot at ISO 100, with the FZ200, and a 1200mm shot at ISO 1600 with the SX50.

Excellent question, imho. I am shopping for one of these (or similar) for my wife, and wondered the exact same thing. To put it finely, in the review Michael says:
[after discussing the wider available apertures on the Panasonic]
the cameras are quite comparable
", but in this thread Michael says
... but in the end it's
[the Panasonic FZ200]
a small sensor camera with all that that entails in terms of IQ.
If the camera's are comparable _in IQ_ , one can't have exceptional IQ while the other one is a third-grader's b-flat clarinet. Perhaps we are mis-reading the "Otherwise" statement. Perhaps Michael means in terms of functionality, not in terms of IQ.

I'm reluctant to speak for Michael on this issue, but I think it is clear that both sensors, the FZ200 and the SX-50, are equally small and therefore both share the same disadvantages that are a limitation of all small sensors.
However, given this equal limitation regarding sensor size, there are other features of both cameras which are different, but very remarkable in their own way.
A 600mm/F2.8 lens is phenomenal, but a 1200mm/F6.5 lens might be considered even more phenomenal. It depends on your shooting style.
If you're in the habit of shooting static subjects (or relatively static, or slow moving subjects) on a sturdy tripod, then a 12mp image from a 1200mm lens should produce impressive results, even though the sensor is a bit small.
However, if one is in the habit of shooting static and/or moving subjects hand-held, or fast-moving subjects whether or not using a tripod, then the maximum f/stop of F6.5 could be a significant disadvantage. The final result may be no better, or only marginally better, than a cropped and interpolated FZ200 image at 600mm, F2.8 and ISO 100.
I recall about 15 years ago when I was getting interested in photography again, as a result of the digital revolution, I was amazed that Canon was offering a 1200mm F5.6 lens for full frame 35mm format, at the price of a small house in Australia at the time.
This lens was not available over the counter, but was manufactured only to fulfil specific orders from individual customers. I can't remember the exact price, but it was around the $100,000 mark, 15 years ago.
The fact that today a 1200mm F6.5 lens, which is only 1/2 a stop slower than F5.6, can be had for less than $500, and at a small fraction of the weight of the Canon 1200/5.6, is a remarkable technological achievement, even if the final result is not as good as that 16kg Canon lens attached to an 11mp 1Ds.
Just how much worse the 12mp image from the SX-50 would be, compared with the same scene from the 16.5Kg Canon lens with the Canon 1Ds which is close to 12mp, would be interesting to see.
By the way, having just compared the Canon 1Ds with the Panasonic FZ150 on the DXOMark site, I see that the DR of the FZ150 (which is presumably no better than the DR of the FZ200 which DXO have not tested yet, and likely worse) is equal to that of the Canon 1Ds at base ISO. All other measurements for the 1Ds are much better, of course, including the DR at higher-than-base ISOs. But the fact that the DR at base ISO from such a small sensor, (DR being essentially shadow noise in an ETTR exposure), is equal to that from a multi-thousand dollar, full-frame 35mm sensor of just a few years ago, is quite remarkable.
What is also interesting is that the ISO sensitivities for the Canon 1Ds and the Panasonic FZ150 are almost exactly the same, and both conform almost exactly to DXO's interpretation of the ISO standard. Amazing!

New Animation Software
Hi everyone,
I've been building some new animation software, and am just getting it to the point of an initial release. Essentially it's a 2d skeletal animation platform, designed to let people share resources to help non-animators build animation and for talented artists to save time and interact with their audience in new ways.
But I'm not really an animator myself. I know this is a useful tool for people like me, but I'm very curious to hear from people who are familiar with other skeletal animation tools what are the things that are most useful for this style of animation? What are the features you're most happy with, and what are frustrates you?
Currently my software, called Animajig, is still in private mode, but it's up on Kickstarter right now and the video there is a pretty good introduction to what I've done and how it works (plus it's got some of the animation I've made with it in it that, while nothing to write home about, I'm pretty proud of myself). Anyway, I'd love some feedback, and if anyone is interested we're going to be opening it up to beta testers pretty soon, so I can set you up with a password for it, and give you a little walkthrough. Anyway, thanks. Here's the link to the kickstarter http://kck.st/XoftI0. If you like it, share it.
I'd love to hear your thoughts.
