Two New Olympus PEN® Cameras PUT MORE POWER IN YOUR HANDS WITH THE WORLD'S FASTEST TOUCH aF SHUTTER
|Olympus PEN E-PL5
Compact Portable Bodies Deliver Amazing Image Quality with OM-D E-M5™ Sensor,
In-Camera Creativity Expands with New Art Filters
CENTER VALLEY, Pa., September 17, 2012 – Today, Olympus announces two new PEN compact system cameras, the latest in its award-winning line of Micro Four Thirds® products, designed to help both advanced and emerging photographers take their creative power to a whole new level. The Olympus PEN E-PL5 and PEN E-PM2 deliver amazing image quality by packing superior image technology, blazing fast processing speed and total creative control in classic bodies that combine the portability and ease of use of a point-and-shoot without the complexity of a DSLR.
In addition to advanced shared technologies outlined below, each new model offers unique features of its own:
- Olympus PEN E-PL5: This powerful performer boasts significant improvements in functionality and ease of use. It features an all-metal body in silver, black or white and is portable enough to travel across the world without sacrificing DSLR image quality and the control that experienced photographers expect. Inherited from its predecessor, the E-PL5 has a swiveling monitor with a greatly expanded swivel range of approximately 170° up and about 65° down, making it easier to shoot pictures from low or high angles, and offers the ability to flip the monitor up for self-portrait shooting.
- Olympus PEN E-PM2: The ultra-compact, simple and stylish, smallest and lightest Olympus PEN is designed for people who want to try an interchangeable lens camera for the first time. Available in silver, black, white and red, the E-PM2 offers an intuitive vertical touch navigation menu displayed by pressing the MENU button to provide a fast and easy way to switch modes with fewer steps.
Superior Image Quality and Low Light Performance
Both new Olympus PEN cameras share the same 16.1-megapixel High-Speed Live MOS Sensor and new TruePic VI image processing engine as the award-winning, flagship Micro Four Thirds system camera, Olympus OM-D E-M5. Armed with this technology, the new PENs are outstanding low-light performers with a maximum ISO of 25,600 and a dynamic range that has also been increased, enabling finer expression of gradations between dark and bright areas with a wider range of intensity. An AF Illuminator and accessory FL-LM1 flash, included with both cameras, adds to their low-light performance. Photos and HD videos will be crisp and clear thanks to three modes of in-body image stabilization and the award-winning Olympus Dust Reduction System.
Blazing Speed
Tapping in on the chosen subject within the frame of the cameras' LCD monitor instantly focuses the subject and automatically triggers the shutter for instantaneous in-focus image capture thanks to the Touch AF Shutter function. The combination of the speedy response of the touchscreen panel and the FAST (Frequency Acceleration Sensor Technology) AF system, the same technology that made the Olympus OM-D the world's fastest autofocusing camera, gives users the power to capture precisely the image they want at precisely the moment they want it. With instantaneous focusing, the camera won't shake the moment the shutter is released, assuring maximum clarity and stability, even when shooting moving subjects. Maximum frame rates have also increased more than 2X with a maximum frame rate of 8 fps in Single AF mode.
Ease of Use
Both new models have a 3-inch, 460,000-dot high-definition LCD screen and an Anti-Finger Print coating to reduce smudges. The display offers a wide 176-degree angle of view and is bright enough to compose images even in harsh midday light. Capturing the shot you want is easy with the E-PL5 swivel LCD that rotates up 170 degrees for simple self-portrait shooting. The intuitive and practical touchscreen makes navigating the camera's menus and graphical user interface effortless. Going through a day's photos is as easy as scrolling through the images and enlarging photos with the tap of a finger. Change the feel of each camera to suit your preferences with a detachable grip included with the Olympus E-PL5, and the Olympus E-PM2 grip is built-in. A convenient button on top of the E-PM2 calls up the Live Guide function instantly from any shooting mode for intuitive assistance whenever needed. My Sets on the E-PL5 Mode Dial allow further customization to suit the user's shooting preferences.
Creative Control
The Olympus E-PL5 and the Olympus E-PM2 bring a new level of freedom to the creative shooting experience. A new Water Color effect joins 11 available in-camera Art Filters (Diorama, Pop Art, Soft Focus, Pale & Light Color, Light Tone, Grainy Film, Pin Hole, Cross Process, Gentle Sepia, Key Line and Dramatic Tone) and adds to other brilliant, easy-to-use functions, including Variations and the new Monochrome effect. In-camera RAW data editing selects various settings for RAW data editing and previews the images before applying changes. The customizable Self Timer programs the shutter release to go off at select intervals to ensure the perfect shot. A small single AF target can be selected for pinpoint focusing beyond the existing 35-point area selection. Users can get creative while shooting in 1080i Full HD Movie with fade effect, so you can transition from art filter to art filter without stopping the movie. While shooting a movie, the Movie Teleconverter function magnifies up to 4x without image deterioration.
Sharing in a Flash
Using the OLYMPUS Image Share application, which is compatible with both iPhone® and Android® smartphones and the Toshiba FlashAir® SDHC memory card, it's easier than ever to upload pictures to your favorite social network. Both PENs can set up the FlashAir using the built-in smartphone connection capability for an effortless Wi-Fi connection between PEN and your smartphone. The OLYMPUS Image Share application makes it easy to upload images to a smartphone by selecting them from thumbnails, apply Art Filters on the smartphone and share. Images can also be enjoyed by friends and family by issuing a one-time password to connect several smartphones simultaneously to the cameras.
Is It a Body Cap or a Lens? It's Both.
Olympus also introduces an intriguing new lens for its Micro Four Thirds line. The BCL-15 f8.0 Body Cap Lens serves as a body cap when carrying the camera around without its interchangeable lens, and transforms to become a pan-focus snapshot lens to capture images. The lens is so thin – just 9mm thick – that it can easily be mistaken for a camera-mount body cap. With three glass lens elements in three groups, it can be used as a wide-angle lens equivalent with a single focal length of 30mm (35mm camera equivalent). In addition to daily use as a "pan-focus" lens featuring a wide angle, fixed f8 aperture and shallow depth of field, it is compatible with manual focusing using a lever and capable of close-up shooting as close as 30 cm. A lens-protection barrier is provided so the lens can be mounted permanently on the camera and even put in a pocket together with the camera.
Coordinated Accessories to Enhance and Protect Your Camera
New Olympus PEN accessories provide sturdy protection for users to enjoy convenience, comfort and style wherever they go. The CS-38B is a genuine leather body jacket designed exclusively for the PEN that protects the camera body without detracting from its design. The body jacket's genuine leather and rugged construction combines casual with contemporary styling and is available in four colors.
The accessory MCG-3PR Camera Grip for the E-PL5 is available in three patterns – Dot, Hounds tooth Check, and Stripe – and makes it easy to accessorize with style. A matching LC-37PR Lens Cap, compatible with both new cameras, is available in the same three patterns and allows the E-PL5 user to have a color-coordinated combination.
The CBG-8 is a versatile camera bag that can be hung across the shoulder, carried by hand or used as a bag-in-bag. It has a detachable inner , which is partitioned to enable storage of other items in addition to the camera and lenses, such as a smartphone, while the outer pocket is large enough to accommodate a tablet PC or A4-size file folders.

Pen lite looks more like Pen(non lite) series cameras from previous generation.
That's because they're planning to discontinue the E-Px series. The PEN range will now comprise just two models by raising the E-PL to range-topper status. This way they'll give the OM-D more room to breathe, but there's no way this E-PL5 will make up for the loss of one of the most beautiful camera bodies ever made.
I hope you're right, Heypek. I got the information I conveyed in my previous reply from a rumour site. It'd better be wrong!

Trastevere Flea Market / Fast Train to Naples
Our last day in Rome. Walked to the Trastevere Flea Market which was in a part of town we hadn't seen. Much lower SES and greater multicultural mix. Sad to see people selling their kids toys and trying to sell trashy used knick knacks. Interesting market but didn't much; just coffees and sandwiches.

Today we hit 3 sites: the Pantheon (the inside), the ancient town of Ostia Antica, and the Capuchin Crypts.
The Pantheon is a huge circular building, built in 27 BC and home to the tombs of King Victor Emmanuel II, King Umberto I, the artist Rafael, and Umberto's Queen Margherita. The only light comes from a 30-foot open hole in the center of the dome. When it rains, the floor is sloped so the water drains to the edges of the building. ...

What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that there is a little gore and several killings in this tale, making it more appropriate for middleschoolers and up than for the 9-12 age range the publisher recommends. But there's not enough gore to put it in the horror genre and the humor and good nature of the main character add a milder quality. The demons (represented here more as manifestations of chaos) aren't all evil; many of the ones who live with the main character are more mischievous than bad. The Beast, however, is truly evil, and his natural prey is lost children.

What's the story?
A 15-year-old orphan named Nat finds himself in charge of a houseful of demons after his mentor dies unexpectedly. It's not a sunny day in Seattle: The Beast living in the basement longs for fresh food -- preferably fresh children. His mentor's previous protege, the Thin Man, has gone over to the dark side, and is on his way to Nat's to make the Beast his own. Some skaters break into his house and set the Beast free, but not before he kills and eats one of them. Nat sets off to capture the Beast and finds assistance from unexpected places, including one of the young library staffers who has a crush on him. There are a few deaths before Nat, his minions, and his new friends stop the evil Thin Man and the Beast, and restore a rightful order to the chaos that longs to break free and conquer Seattle.
Is it any good?
Nat is an irresistible, unexpected hero in a fast-paced adventure that will have readers wishing for more. Wickedly funny, smart, lonely, and out of place wherever he goes, Nat is beloved only by his minions. Teens will have no trouble relating to this hero who is simply trying to get by -- managing his household of demons and an evil threat while still trying to get a date. And it's a nice touch when he offers another lost kid the same opportunities he was given.

The expertise of the 50 men and women that follow touches nearly every business sector; from helping to heal an ailing economy to producing basic strategy for the Boston Red Sox (despite their sad performance this past year). But within the four walls of MBA classrooms around the globe, their impact is just as significant as they help groom the next generation of business leaders. MBA students who are lucky enough to have been taught by these professors say they are not outstanding teachers because of the wealth of knowledge they bring to class. Rather, they all use the classroom as a conduit to gain deeper knowledge and more ideas.
Says one student as he reflects on longtime Harvard Business School professor Clay Christensen, "He views the students as his peers and instead of dispelling his wisdom, he gathers our insights and thoughts in order to create new knowledge and dig into deeper truth. He views us as collaborators, not as students."
Almost all of the professors agree that the best part of their job has nothing to do with accolades and status; it's the opportunity to learn from bright students.
Despite staying true to their first love of teaching, the top 50 professors would be hard pressed to escape the notoriety that has resulted from their academic prowess. While Christine Moorman, and other names that grace this list may not carry "household" status, they do resonate inside Fortune 500 companies and C-level suites. Some of the names on the list, like Chicago's Austan Goolsbee, even echo throughout the White House; and Raghuram Rajan, another Booth professor, who was named Chief Economic Advisor to the Indian government in August.
In some cases, it's their names alone that command instant attention from business leaders and analysts. In other cases, their names not only make the ears of those on Wall Street tingle, but like Jeremy Siegel, they've become synonymous with the B-school they're attached to. Siegel has been appropriately nicknamed the "Wizard of Wharton."
When asked what their dream job would be if they weren't in B-school, most of the top 50 simply say they were born to teach. But that doesn't stop some of them from daydreaming about life as a film directors, chefs, molecular biologists, journalists, a member of a mountain rescue team, and other surprisingly non-academic careers.
In other scenarios, like that of Darden's Greg Fairchild and Columbia's Sheena Iyengar, life circumstances simply led them to a point of realization that teaching was what they were made to do.
Fairchild stumbled upon the idea of teaching in pursuit of his own MBA degree to get to the next level in the fashion industry. Despite being born legally blind, Iyengar says has always loved ideas, communicating with others, and learning from others. In her words, "teaching is all of that."

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 2:25 PM GMT on October 19, 2005
There has never been a hurricane like Wilma before. With an unbelievable round of intensification that saw the pressure drop 87 mb in just 12 hours, Wilma smashed the all-time record for lowest pressure in an Atlantic hurricane this morning. The 4 am hurricane hunter report put the pressure at 882 mb, easily besting the previous record of 888 mb set in Hurricane Gilbert of 1988. Since no hurricane hunter airplane has been in the eye since then, Wilma may be even stronger now. The eye diameter of Wilma during this round of intensification shrunk as low as 2 nautical miles, which may be the smallest eye diameter ever measured in a tropical cyclone. The only eye I could find close to that small in the records was a 3 nm one, the Category 4 Typhoon Jeliwat in 2000. It's amazing the hurricane hunters were even able to penetrate the eye--it's really tough to hit a 2 mile wide eye when you're flying crabbed over at a 30 degree yaw angle fighting horizontal flight level winds of 185 mph and severe turbulence. This is an incredibly compact, amazingly intense hurricane, the likes of which has never been seen in the Atlantic. The Hurricane Season of 2005 keeps topping itself with new firsts, and now boasts three of the five most intense hurricanes of all time--Katrina, Rita, and Wilma.
Where will Wilma go?
There is a lot of uncertainty about this, as usual. After last night's flight by the NOAA jet, the computer models have come into better agreement, forecasting a track northwest through the Yucatan Channel, and then northeast across southern Florida. Cuba will probably end up getting the worst of Wilma, particularly the western tip of Cuba, which could see a direct hit.
After Cuba comes Florida. The models are converging on a landfall over the sparsely populated Everglades, but Wilma could hit as far north as Sarasota or pass south of the Keys. In any case, I expect the evacuation order for non-residents in the Keys will be given today, and the Keys and residents of southwest Florida from Naples southward are at greatest risk from Wilma. Assuming Wilma does hit the Everglades as expected, the Gold Coast of Florida from Miami to West Palm Beach is in for a severe pounding after Wilma crosses south Florida.
How strong will Wilma be?
Hurricanes do not maintain Category 5 strength very long, and Wilma is unlikely to be at that strength when it clears the Yucatan Channel and turns northeast towards Florida. Combine with that the possible effects of weakening due to interaction of a landfall on the western tip of Cuba or the northeast tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, Wilma is likely to be a Category 3 or 4 hurricane as it starts bearing down on southwest Florida. When Wilma does make this turn, the winds that will be turning her will also be creating some significant wind shear, which will weaken the storm. Wilma will be moving fairly quickly, though, so the shear won't have a lot of time to weaken her. I'm guessing this weakening will be in the order of 10 - 20 mph.
The end result of all these factors will cause Wilma to hit southwest Florida in the Everglades as a Category 3 or weak Category 4 hurricane with winds in the 120 mph - 135 mph range. The Everglades are low and swampy, and passage over the this area does not weaken a hurricane as much as landfall further north over the Florida Peninsula. In the case of Hurricane Andrew, which passed across the Everglades on a reverse path, the hurricane started its traverse as a Category 5 hurricane with 170 mph winds and a 922 mb central pressure. By the time it emerged in the Gulf of Mexico, Andrew was a Category 3 hurricane with 130 mph winds and a central pressure of 951 mb. Andrew was a very small hurricane, and passage over the Everglades weakened it considerably. In the case of Hurricane Katrina earlier this year, the traverse of south Florida did not significantly weaken the storm. Katrina started its traverse of south Florida with a central pressure of 981 mb and 80 mph winds, and finished with a central pressure of 985 mb and 75 mph winds. Katrina was a much larger storm than Andrew, and more representative of the size Wilma is likely to have over Florida.
The closest analogue storm I can find in the archives is an October 1906 hurricane that looks remarkably similar. The 1906 hurricane formed in the western Caribbean, brushed Cuba as it passed through the Yucatan Channel, then crossed extreme southern Florida, passing from the Everglades to Fort Lauderdale. This hurricane weakened from a Category 4 hurricane with 135 mph winds to a Category 3 hurricane with 125 mph winds as it crossed Florida.
I think we can expect Wilma to behave in a similar fashion as the 1906 hurricane, and lose about 10 mph in its peak winds due to passage over the Everglades. Wilma may lose an additional 5 mph due to the continued action of the expected higher wind shear. This would make Wilma a strong Category 2 or weak Category 3 hurricane over Miami/Fort Lauderdale with peak winds of 105 - 120 mph. A really big question is how far out will the hurricane force winds extend? Wilma is currently a very compact storm with hurricane force winds extending out only 15 miles from the center. If she maintains this compact structure, damage in Florida will be limited to a very small area. However, with three days remaining over very warm waters, Wilma will expand its windfield somewhat, so that hurricane force winds will extend out 60 - 90 miles from the center. This will be enough to cause severe damage to the Gold Coast in the $10 - $20 billion range. If Wilma follows the path I expect, this will be the worst hurricane in the Miami Beach/Fort Lauderdale area since 1965's Hurricane Betsy.
Keep in mind that the average error in a hurricane track forecasts four days is over 200 miles, and that our skill in making intensity forecasts is low--as witnessed in Wilma's incredible ascent from a Category 1 to Category 5 hurricane in just 12 hours.
What has Wilma done so far?
Wilma has claimed her first victims; up to ten are dead on Haiti in landslides triggered by the hurricane's heavy rains. Mudslides and flooding are also serious problems in the southeastern Cuban provinces of Guant�namo, Santiago de Cuba and Granma. Nearly 13 inches (33 cm) of rain was measured at Santiago de Cuba yesterday. The Cuban newspaper Granma is reporting 255 homes damaged or destroyed in that town, and sections of the Sevilla-Guam�-Santiago de Cuba highway impassable due to swollen rivers, while landslides have blocked the Cordovelo-Loma Blanca road. In Jamaica, widespread flooding has cut off several communities and caused millions in damage to roads. All schools are closed on the island through Thursday and hospitals are taking only emergency patients. Rainfall rates as high as two inches per hour were observed in the Blue Mountains of south-central Jamaica yesterday.
I'll have another update this afternoon, there's a lot more to talk about.

China Rate Swap Jumps, Yuan Weakens on Capital Outflow ConcernsBloomberg News
China's one-year interest-rate swap jumped the most in a month and the yuan fell, erasing earlier gains, as data suggested capital outflows exceeded inflows in June for the first time since November.
Yuan positions at Chinese financial institutions accumulated from sales of foreign exchange declined 41.2 billion yuan ($6.7 billion) in June, the first drop in seven months, the People's Bank of China reported today. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange, the currency regulator, said today cross-border capital flows are expected to be "balanced" in the second half of this year.
"Concern about capital outflows is rising because of fear of default and increasing non-performing-loan ratios," said Wee-Khoon Chong, a strategist at Societe Generale SA in Hong Kong.
The one-year swap contract, the fixed cost needed to receive the floating seven-day repurchase rate, climbed 18 basis points, or 0.18 percentage point, to 4.13 percent as of 5:14 p.m. in Shanghai, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. That is the biggest increase since June 20, when money-market rates climbed to record highs amid a cash squeeze.
The seven-day repo increased 17 basis points to 3.94 percent, based on a weighted average compiled by the National Interbank Funding Center. That compares with an all-time high of 12.45 percent on June 20.
Yuan Band
The central bank ended a floor on borrowing costs previously set at 30 percent below benchmark lending rates, it said July 19. The limit on mortgage rates will stay to curb property speculation, the PBOC said. Also unchanged was a 10 percent cap on what banks can offer over PBOC-set deposit rates.
The yuan declined 0.06 percent to 6.1413 per dollar in Shanghai, after gaining as much as 0.04 percent, according to China Foreign Exchange Trade System prices. The PBOC raised the yuan's fixing, which limits the currency's daily moves to 1 percent on either side, by 0.05 percent to 6.1721.
"The PBOC's latest move is a signal that China will continue its financial reforms, possibly including a widening of the yuan's trading band," said Tommy Ong, executive director of treasury and markets at DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Ltd. "An acceleration in capital-account opening will help ease systemic risks in China's financial sector."
A total of 38 bond issuers were downgraded last month, according to Guotai Junan Securities Co., the most since the brokerage started compiling the data in 2005. Some 86 firms were upgraded, down from 88 a year earlier.
"The government can't save everyone," said Xu Hanfei, a bond analyst in Shanghai at Guotai Junan. "In the future, downgrades may spread to high-grade bonds, especially those which rely heavily on support from the central or local governments."
Haitong Securities Co., the second-biggest listed brokerage, forecast that the first onshore default may occur in six to 12 months as the government seeks to build a sound credit system.

From the Crap Archives: Someone You May Know (1965)
(Each week, your Crap Archivist brings you the finest in forgotten and bewildering crap culled from basements, thrift stores, estate sales and flea markets. I do this for one reason: Knowledge is power.)
Someone You May Know: A Heterosexual Looks at Homosexuality Author: William Konraad Date: 1965 The Cover Promises: "This book makes no judgments. This book does not deal with perversions leading to a world of fantasy. This book brings you a complete view of a major situation today." Representative Quote: Page 184: "Q: Jim, the other day I was reading a magazine published by and for homosexuals and in it there was an article urging homosexuals to get behind a certain socialist candidate and the socialist movement in general. How do you feel about that?"
With a tone of empathetic condescension, author Konraad presents the results of what the back cover insists was "three years of interviews with psychiatrists, M.D.'s, lawyers, religious leaders, District Attorney's, Police officers and hundreds of homosexuals." That he considers homosexuals an entirely separate category from "psychiatrists, M.D.s," and the like indicates that he could probably stand to do a few more interviews.
When not badgering readers with promises that he himself is straight, Konraad runs lengthy, mostly sympathetic interviews with homosexuals with names like "Tony," "Eddie," and "Danny Rivas." He quizzes them about their families, their faith and the nuts-and-bolts of man-on-man. Still, as the first lines of the first page make clear, Konraad isn't above sensationalizing:
"When I worked at the cafe, the truck drivers used to pull in and ask especially for me. They thought I was sexy and knew how to do it better than any woman they ever laid." The boy who uttered these words was a nineteen year old homosexual who had been reared as a girl.
Which does Konraad's choice of "reared" reveal -- a tin-ear or a sarcastic streak? Fortunately, he mostly allows his subjects to tell their own stories. They're occasionally heartbreaking. Later, "Danny Rivas" says:
I hope God will try to understand how hard it has been down here. I guess I would go to hell if I died tonight. I used to go to confession every Saturday, but I haven't been now in quite some time. It seems bad to be going back all the time and asking God to forgive me when I keep doing the same thing over and over again.

Konraad was forward-thinking for his time, but he was limited by it, too. "The fact seems well established that homosexuality is a mental disorder," he writes, "but there is also the undeniable fact that there is a psychosis that preys on innocent victims through homosexuals."
Shocking Detail: Psychiatrist John Raberskal says, "I could not begin to estimate the total percentage of our population in this country that is homosexual." Still, he immediately does just that: "It may be as high as sixty percent or as low as twenty percent but I am certain that at least twenty percent of all Americans are, or have been, homosexual during their adult life."
Highlight: Konraad's book on homosexuals only appeared in paperback, but, judging by the curious inscription found on this thrift-store copy, his spine stiffens when women are involved:
To a lovely lady, Jane Staudley, about whose charms I'd have to write a hardbound book.

Bonus Crap!
Gay Teen Ideas For Knitting and Crocheting Date: 1944 The Cover Promises: You can knit a cocker spaniel! Representative Quote: Page 13: "We're smitten with these mittens 'cause they give you such pretty paws."
Before Konraad, "gay" meant "carefree." Even in his time, the Flintstones' promise of a "gay old time" had more to do with silly fun than it did Fred and Barney's easygoing pantslessness. Since then, what exactly that word signifies has varied wildly: first "homosexual" with disdain. Then, "homosexual" with pride. Finally, among today's suburban youth, it's come to hold the same dismissive meaning as "lame" or "retarded," as in "That fisher's net shawl-looking thing on page 11 is totally gay."
At last, in these outfits, we have all of those definitions working together at once.

QB Mark Sanchez makes a different kind of completion
Hung in succession along a hallway of the renowned Anaheim White House Restaurant are autographed portraits of the most recognizable celebrities of this generation.
Brad Pitt. Pierce Brosnan. Sir Elton John. Richard Gere. Robert De Niro. Sidney Poitier. The portraits lead to Bruno Serato's kitchen.
It is through this hallway that New York Jets quarterback and Mission Viejo High alum Mark Sanchez walks to begin an offseason workout like no other.
"I might fire him," a jovial Serato said in his heavy Italian accent.
No more than two weeks removed from returning to Orange County, Sanchez caught wind of Serato's well-publicized program: Through his nonprofit Caterina's Club, Serato feeds 300 children, many low-income, nightly at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Anaheim.
"I want to meet these kids – whether I'm playing handball with them or giving them food to eat," Sanchez said. "Let's interact. Let's do some hands-on stuff; some low-key stuff that doesn't get a lot of attention, and this is perfect."
Adorned in a white chef's jacket embroidered with "Bruno Rocks!" above the left breast, Sanchez – who frequently credits his success to those who lent a hand during his formative years – enters the steely kitchen.
"This means a lot, because you actually do some of the work," Sanchez said. "The demographic of these kids – there's a lot of Hispanics, and that means a lot to me; helping underprivileged kids that don't get a ton of help. ...
"These are the kids we really want to channel our energy and effort to help."
Approximately four years out of practice, Sanchez – once a server at Phil Trani's in Long Beach while at USC – starts by dropping noodles into a pasta boiler. He then slices tomatoes and broccoli, and places each ingredient into a large mixing bowl filled with marinara sauce.
Chicken, pre-cut, completes the recipe as Sanchez stirs it all together.
"He's been hired!" Serato exclaims.
After a few minutes of stirring, Sanchez does a couple of television interviews prior to commencing the second half of his afternoon.
Before he leaves the kitchen, however, the 26-year-old endorsed a check for an undisclosed amount and hands it to Serato.
"Pass it on," Sanchez said. "When you receive, pass it on."
With the food freshly prepared and in hand, Sanchez and Serato made their way over to the Boys and Girls Club in Anaheim. As he entered through the back door of the building, the children who recognized the former Trojan standout ran over and greeted the quarterback.
Sanchez took a tour of the club, signed autographs, took pictures and interacted with the 50-plus children before he was called to the kitchen to start serving.
Each bowl of pasta was accompanied with a high five.
Sanchez joked with one of the children wearing a Patriots jersey saying, "It must have been laundry day today, right?"
Eleven-year-old Shaun McHale made sure he came prepared, wearing his No. 6 Jets' jersey for the quarterback to autograph.
"My dad told me he was coming, so I wanted to wear his jersey," McHale said. "It was really cool."
After passing out the food, it was time for the quarterback to dish out some passes to all of the kids who lined up outside.
Some of the teens went deep, while the younger kids ran comebacks.
McHale ran a post pattern, caught his pass and proceeded to impersonate Sanchez's trademark Jets celebration – spreading his arms out and pretending to glide like a jet.
"We want to get in there and have a good time." Sanchez said. "You see these kids, they're awesome, and all they want to do is come up and give you a high five and they smile. ... It's a great thing to see."

Employment levels[edit]
While the LADWP Web site refers to 3900, I think the historical record should defer to the carefully put together annual reports submitted to city leaders at the time of construction. The 7th annual report was submitted to the city in 1912 stating 3800 workers. Dcoffida (talk) 03:50, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
- I too believe that the historical documents available need to be our main source and this is why I made the change as I did. Although I'm not sure of which 7th Annual Report your speaking of (Bureau of the Los Angeles Aqueduct or Board of Public Service Commissioners) the 3900 number is cited as "the maximum number of men employed at one time, during the building of the Aqueduct,..." in the Complete Report on Construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct, pages 270 & 271. I will check through other resources and see if there are others that corroborate one or the other figure. Thank you, Shyncat (talk) 15:44, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Santa Barbara earthquake[edit]
Hi, and thanks for your help on that article. I have often considered which magnitude scale to use, and it often comes down to sources, but I've also realized that for those shocks that occurred in the prime of Richter's era (when he was working at Caltech just prior to developing the scale) it makes sense to use that scale. In this case, we have that excellent Stover & Coffman source (a highly-reliable earthquake catalog from seismologists) that lists a moment magnitude for that event. Thanks again, Dawnseeker2000 17:20, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
- Hi and thank you but, I think here were taking about accuracy and for that the Southern California Earthquake Data Center (SCEDC), which operates at the Seismological Laboratory at Caltech and is the primary archive of seismological data for southern California, is a better and more up to date source. The source cited has a printing date of 1993, and the SCEDC information was last updated 01/31/2013. Shyncat (talk) 18:09, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
Better? By what standard? More up to date? Who determined that a more recent publication is better? I suggest leaving it as it is. It's fine. Dawnseeker2000 18:22, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
- It is a far more reliable source because the Southern California Earthquake Data Center (SCEDC) operates at the Seismological Laboratory at Caltech and the Caltech/USGS catalog, which is maintained by the SCEDC, is the most complete archive of seismic data. They have taken all of the known earthquake data from 1932-present and rechecked the older parametric data and because the data is converted to the modern format the analysts can work with the same data as the scientists. This means the results are of higher accuracy with no translation errors. This is why we find that over time, in a number of cases, the magnitude or location of a past quake has changed. This is what we have here. The SCEDC is far more than two seismologists who cataloged, though sources with information valid as of 1993. Thank you Shyncat (talk) 17:09, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
No, you're mistaken. To say one source is far more reliable over another is just not correct. How many different magnitudes do you think have been presented for this shock? More than a few I'd say. Please do not change it as all items in the encyclopedia that discuss the magnitude for this earthquake are in agreement (with several independent sources included). That's the best that we can do in situations like these. Dawnseeker2000 17:20, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi, and sorry, but unless you make a convincing or correct argument, the article should stay as it is. The changes you've made reflect one organizations view on the event. There are many views, and the figure that's in the article (and others, with a separate, independent source) is fine. You can't argue that it's better; you just can't. See WP:STATUSQUO, Dawnseeker2000 17:57, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
- No it is a reliable source, the USGS and Caltech think it is and the best is what should be used. If you want, ask for a second opinion as to what is best and we'll see. Shyncat (talk) 18:32, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
I'm not going to discuss this with you any longer because I don't think you understand the nature of the discussion. You keep saying "best" and that does not apply to these things. There are many magnitudes presented for damaging earthquakes. Sorry dude, you haven't got a good argument. Dawnseeker2000 19:40, 28 September 2014 (UTC)
