(NEWSER) – The 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination brings no shortage of essays, recollections, and theories. A small sampling:
- Most popular: Kennedy is, by far, the most popular president of the last 50 years, says a new CNN poll. He scored a 90% approval rating, followed by Reagan (78%) and Clinton (74%). Nixon brings up the rear at 31%, with George W. Bush (42%) the only other president under 50%.
- NFL played on: The LA Times looks back on NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle's decision to play on just two days after the assassination, one he later regretted.
- Memorials today: Events in Dealey Plaza and in Boston highlight some of today's planned remembrances, notes Politico.

Volkswagen is a leading German automaker. Volkswagen was established in 1937 in Germany. Volkswagen translates to "People's Automobile" in German. The "people's car" project, which brought the classic Beetle to the world, was actually the idea of Adolf Hitler, who wanted a mass-produced, cheap vehicle for the average German who could not afford a car in the 1930s.
The classic Volkswagen Beetle was manufactured for 65 years, making the number of Beetles created over twenty-one million.
Volkswagen's most reported problem on RepairPal is associated with shifting issues on some Volkswagen Jetta models.

Listen to Avril Lavigne Radio on iHeartRadio
Avril Lavigne is now rocking a 17-carat diamond ring — an anniversary gift from husband Chad Kroeger.
As Gossip Cop reported at the time, the couple wed in July of last year, and celebrated their anniversary earlier this month.
And Kroeger, who had proposed with 14-carat ring, apparently decided it was time to up the ante.
"I still can't believe my 1 year anniversary gift. 17 carat emerald cut," Lavigne posted on Twitter Thursday, along with a picture of her new bling.
She continued, "Wow. I love my hubby."
We can't imagine what Kroeger will give Lavigne next year.

For Sexting Case, Cops to Take Photos of Aroused Teen
(NEWSER) – "This is crazy," says the defense lawyer. See if you agree: A Virginia teenager is fighting efforts by police who want to take photos of him in a sexually aroused state to try to prove a sexting case against him. Prosecutors in Prince William County told a judge they need photos of the 17-year-old's erect penis to compare against photos he is accused of sending to his 15-year-old girlfriend at the time. The teen has been charged in juvenile court with possessing and manufacturing child pornography related to the images of himself he's accused of creating. The teen's lawyers say the search warrant allowing the photographs has been authorized by a magistrate but not yet executed.

Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister finishing solo album
Listen to Motorhead on iHeartRadio
Lemmy Kilmister says his solo album is "almost done."
The Motorhead frontman tells "Revolver" magazine the set includes a number of collaborations, including cuts with Joan Jett, The Damned, and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl. He adds that he'd also like to record a song with Skin singer Skunk Anansie for the project.
Lemmy says fans shouldn't expect his upcoming disc to sound like a Motorhead album. He admits "there are elements" in common with the work he does with the group, but his own project is different.
However, the singer has a tough time describing it, saying "it's all just great rock and roll." Lemmy adds that while the album doesn't yet have an official title, he's considering calling it "False Teeth For The Deaf." Kilmister also doesn't say just when he expects to have his solo album in stores.

FBI: More Target-Style Hacks on Way
(NEWSER) – A warning to shoppers: More cyber attacks like this one and this one are coming, according to a three-page confidential FBI report seen by Reuters, a determination the FBI made after finding some 20 hacking cases in the last year used the same type of malware as in the Target breach. Specifically, it's "memory-parsing" software known as a "RAM scraper," and it steals the transaction data from a credit or debit card's magnetic strip during the brief moment during the transaction process that the info isn't encrypted.

Hi moms! Just to share with you, here is a stress reducer I use almost daily since this summer : it's a single app for iOS devices but is really a smart idea! Just like your mood lamp except you can bring it anywhere. I use to relax with it, my children love it, and you can even use it as a nightlight ! This is the 'lifesaver' part, it helped me more than once with children when not at home. I wish app developers have more often such good stuff to offer !

Be aware of your own emotions and energy levels. It's nigh on impossible for many of us to take a day or even a whole hour to ourselves so make of list of small activities you can do in 10 minutes that recharge you. It could be you sit for 10 minutes reading before going into the office, go for a walk around the block at lunchtime, schedule a 10 minute chat with a friend - whatever it is that sustains and rejuvenates you. Then when you can feel yourself in need of a quick pick me up - do one of your 10 minute recharges. try and work up to fitting in 3 per day - that's 30 minutes to yourself! Find creative ways to do it - come on, we can all find 10 minutes!by Jo Casey on 1st July 20123198Vote!
I am fortunate enough to have a best friend who's been in my life since I was five. Our mothers went to nursing school together, we attended the same small neighborhood church and went to the same school from Kindergarten through high school graduation, and were in each other's weddings. She knows me better than anyone else on the planet and vice versa. The kind of soul mates who can abbreviate an entire explanation using a single word or name from the past. But she lives 90 minutes away. So, every six months we meet in the middle for dinner to celebrate our respective birthdays. Just the two of us...no husbands, no kids, no interruptions...just two best friends laughing about the good times, crying about the tough ones, and swapping secrets. No matter how broke we are or how busy we get, we make this night happen twice a year. When I know I've got that on my calendar, I can get through just about anything!by Valerie on 15th May 20122768Vote!
This may sound a little silly but my husband bought me a ROOMBA automatic carpet cleaner and I first I thought, "this is probably a piece of junk with shiny buttons...there's no way it can clean a carpet!" Well, much to my surprise ROOMBA actually does work. I love that I can turn it on, close the door (block off entries that I don't want it to go in or under) and let it do its thing. This saves me time and I think it's worth the purchase. Thiemaby thiema on 8th March 20122989Vote!
I have 2 year old triplets and a three year old all boys and I was about to go crazy. I was frustrated with my weight this long after having the babies and totally stressed about doing the same thing everyday (wake up, dress, breakfast, work, come home, screaming kids, dinner, bath, bed, flop on couch...). We joined our local YMCA and now go EVERYDAY! It was only $59 a month with free kidzone and classes so everyone gets a break.

Goat's head sent to Chicago Cubs owner
(NEWSER) – Chicago Cubs fans have long feared a curse on the team after a man with a goat was told to leave Wrigley Field during a 1945 championship game. Perhaps it was that story that prompted the delivery of a goat's head to the team's owner, Tom Ricketts, yesterday at the field. The package, which contained no note, was passed to cops, ESPN reports. "We're investigating it as an intimidating package," police said. The delivery comes amid a feud with locals over Wrigley Field renovations, ESPN notes.

Sigma's new wide-angle zoom bests siblingThursday June 14 2012
Sigma's new 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM II Nikon made some gains over its predecessor, including a dramatic improvement with tapping down chromatic aberration. But the lens also stumbled, regressing in our lens distortion category.
Sigma is advertising its super wide-angle zoom lens – the 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 EX II DG HSM – as capable of producing images with an approximate range of 122° to 84°.
With numbers like that, it would be a perfect companion for landscape and architecture photographers.
But how good are the optics found in the 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM II lens for Nikon cameras? (Here are our results for the lens when combined with a Canon).
Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM II Nikon: Test results
Sigma praised the revised optics of its new wide-angle lens, which it said combines one SLD (special low dispersion) glass, and four FLD ("F" low dispersion) glasses. Sigma said this new optics system will help reduce chromatic aberration, especially compared to the previous generation – the Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 EX DG.
This improvement in chromatic aberration was dramatically documented in our lab testing and analysis, where we found the EX DG HSM II made a huge leap over the EX DG. The EX DG HSM II's reduction in color aberration was most striking at focal lengths 18 to 24 mm. At 24 mm, chromatic aberration was not even detectable.
Our testing found additional strengths for the EX DG HSM II for Nikon, including:
- Good resolution that is comparable to its older sibling. Lens resolution hit its sweet spot when the aperture was between f/4.5-5.6. In this range, it had good resolution at nearly all focal lengths.
- The EX DG HSM II for Nikon did have a few big blemishes:
- Its distortion actually regressed, rather than improved, against the older EX DG. Distortion was high at its widest focal point of 12mm, but was detectable even past 18mm.
- The EX DG HSM II still produced strong vignetting, especially at apertures between f/4.5-8.
- Like the EX DG, the newer lens also suffered from low transmission, resulting in a transmission score of 5.8 T-stop.
The EX DG HSM II's mixed results gave it a DxOMark score of 17 – an improvement from its predecessors overall rating of 11. Still, both scores are pretty low. If you're deciding between the two lenses, the tiebreak might come down to price. At $1,400 (US), the EX DG HSM II costs $500 more than the EX DG.
Further readings for the Sigma's new wide-angle zoom bests sibling
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
This new Sigma 12-24mm EX DG HSM II wide-angle zoom for full-frame cameras is a somewhat improved version of the previous lens, the solidly-built Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG Canon.
While we wait for the full analysis of the new wide angle by Sigma (Sigma 12-24mm F4.5-5.6 EX DG HSM II Canon and Nikon mounts), here are the results for its previous version, mounted on Canon and Nikon cameras.
Of all the lenses tested so far (43) on a Canon EOS 5D Mk II this lens ranks as the lowest ever.

Edward Snowden Inspires Youths to Train as Spies
Call it the Snowden effect. A growing number of aspiring secret agents have been clamoring to join European secret service agencies in recent weeks. But it's not about the promise of a life of international intrigue. The surge in applicants is pegged to fighting back against American snoops.
Giordana, a 25-year-old law student at La Sapienza University in Rome, wants to be a spy. She speaks Italian, English, French, and Mandarin, and she says she would like to put her knowledge to use to help protect her country. She was one of more than 2,000 applicants who filled out an online application to join Italy's secret service last week. "I want to help protect my country," she told The Daily Beast. "I was so enraged to learn that the Americans are spying on everything we do, I feel a duty to do something about it."
Giordana is one of a growing number of young Europeans who want to be part of the intelligence community. The notable surge in applicants in countries like Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom in the last two weeks has many wondering if Edward Snowden's saga is proving especially enticing a whole new stable of would-be spooks. It is easy to romanticize the spy's life, especially the way the Snowden affair is covered by much of the European media, where he has been touted as a hero for exposing America's rampant breaches of privacy rather than as a traitor who betrayed his nation's trust. And the presumption that he is living incognito in aRussian airport, hiding from American agents, seems straight out of a James Bond movie, minus the remedial use of a refrigerator as a jamming device for his cellphones and revelations that he had nothing more sophisticated than sunglasses and a baseball cap to hide his identity. "Of course he is a hero," says Giordana, who says she looks up to the 30-year-old. "His courage is inspirational, but what he exposed is what drives me to want to get involved."
Giordana is obviously not alone in her desire to get involved. Around 200 applicants a day have been applying to Italy's secret service agency through the country's new online recruitment website in recent weeks. The administrator says that the site gets at least 15,000 unique hits a day. Of the last 2,000 applicants, 1,740 were men with advanced degrees. Around 1,000 consider themselves cyber experts. Almost all the applicants were multilingual and searching for their first post-university jobs.
The German Bundesnachrichtendienst federal intelligence agency has also seen an influx of aspiring 007 applicants thanks to a budgetary boost of €100 million earmarked for new staff to work on interception detection.

Dairy Queen Manager's Class Act Wins Praise
(NEWSER) – A teenage Dairy Queen manager in Hopkins, Minnesota, qualifies as the new poster boy for basic human decency. Joey Prusak, 19, was serving a blind customer when the man dropped a $20 bill without knowing it, reportsWCCO-TV. The woman in line behind him quickly picked it up and ... tucked it in her purse. Prusak asked her to give it back, she refused, and the teen eventually kicked her out: "I told her, 'Ma'am, you can either return the $20 bill or you can leave the store, because I'm not going to serve someone as disrespectful as you.'" She left, and then came the kicker: Prusak went over to the table of the blind man and gave him $20 out of his own pocket.
