Q and A 2009, part I. shooting!
here you go everyone! part one. =) enjoy!
andrea said...What all do you take with you on a shoot? How do you manage to carry your photo equipment AND your furniture?
i keep all my lenses, cards and extra batteries in my bag, and I also have my reflector. I also try to bring myself a BIG FAT diet coke and eat something before hand ( I can't THINK if I'm hungry!). =) If I use props or furniture, I keep it all in the car until I'm ready to use it.
Heidi said...
Hi there! I'm so excited you are doing this -- as I (like most of these people posting questions it seems like) am working on my photography with the long-term goal of starting a business some day, and love hearing from people who have already slogged their way through the trenches. Some of the things I have been wondering lately...
1. Do you shoot in RAW? I'm assuming yes, but I guess you should never assume anything :).
Yes! I didn't shoot in raw until around Christmas of last year. For me, I prefer it. I like the ease of editing raw images in lightroom/camera raw, and it's great for working with wedding dresses (using the recovery tool to retain dress detail- the best!!). However, some people talk about shooting raw like it changed their world, and I don't really feel that way. Though it seems my canon friends especially feel like that, so maybe it's a bigger difference that way.
2. Do you use a reflector or any type of diffuser outside when you shoot in sunshine?
I use a reflector more often in the shade to bounce a little light onto the face, but I DO use it in the sun for myself to shade my camera. So if you ever run into me downtown crouching and holding a reflector over my head, that's why. And yes, I look SOOOOO cool while I do that…
Ashley Henry Photography…4. Do you mess with any of your in-camera settings such as brightness, contrast, saturation, etc.? Or do you leave all those on just average settings? Are there any other in-camera tricks you could recommend to help improve images?
I actually don't, I like to keep it simple I guess!
Ashley Henry Photography said...
1. I know some about light, but I can never get over how amazing your light looks! I swear even at the most perfect times of the day it is so hard to get the light quality to my images that yours have. So how do you pick your light? Especially in less than ideal situations and times of day?
I love using the sun to back light whenever possible (my favorite!) and also open shade. The key when using shade is to keep your subjects face toward the light source. Say you are in the shade of a large building, you want to have your subject looking toward the sunny area, not the building. If the light isn't perfect though, a good reflector goes a long way!
Why does some shade look better than others? Do you usually shoot at the same time every day? How do you get such amazing window light quality such as in your newborn shoots?
i prefer shooting in the evening during the two hours leading up to sunset (and during sunset of course!), or first thing in the morning. Indoor lighting is a little different at various locations, but a bright day and lots of white back drops helps a lot. I try to reflect light off of white poster boards whenever I can!
Katie Blacker said...
I love your pictures. And your style. I just came accross your blog while blog-surfing. I like the blogs that offer "eye candy" -as a very amature photog - I have tried to make mine that way as well. Here are my questions: I want to know how you get that creamy look to your pics -the background a soft color contrasted with the bright colors! (i.e. in the post just above this one - the last 3 pictures are a good example of this)
for tips on the creamy look, there will be more info in the photoshop section!
also, how do you shoot in the sunlight with out overexposing the "whites" in the picture. My pictures tend to have the "whites" blown out.
As far as the whites/shooting in sun go, I can not say enough about shooting in manual! I used to shoot in aperture, which I thought was fine, and honestly, I got good results. However, I switched to manual and found that it was LESS WORK that shooting in aperture! I just like being in control and calling my own shots on exposure, rather than relying on my camera to decide. GOODBYE blowouts.
Elise said...
Wow! I ABSOLUTELY loved when you did this last year. I've been following your blog for a while and I L.O.V.E. your work. I think it's just amazing. … Do you use an expo disc or what do you do for your WB settings?
I usually shoot in Kelvin (K on your white balance settings), where you basically set the exact temperature you want. I just like it. Call me a control freak.
Rob, Ann, Ava, and Brooklyn said...
I love your work! Thanks for doing this! What type of metering mode do you use most? And could you explain how to use spot metering?
I prefer SPOT all the way. Because I am most concerned about exposing for faces, I'm not too worried about blowing my backgrounds. But the truth is, I worry VERY little about what my meter is saying. If you always shoot with your meter right in the middle, you might as well save yourself some time and put your camera in auto, because it's pretty much the same thing. I use my meter as a general guide for my first practice shot. Then I look at the image, decide if it needs some changes and adjust my settings accordingly. I have never in my life checked my histogram. Maybe that's not "technically" what you're supposed to do, but I frankly could care less, because it works pretty well for me.
Melanie said...
I found you a while back and I think your work is amazing and so inspiring!! I think everyone asked mostly all of the questions I was thinking of, but here's one: What settings do you use most of the time when shooting outdoor portraits? Say, if you are shooting with a 50mm? Do you shoot wide open or like f4? I recently got a 50 mm f/1.8 and initially was shooting wide open apertures and then I went back and looked closer and it seemed like NOTHING (not the person, or much of anything) was in sharp focus. What is your trick for getting great bokeh but still keeping the subject sharp?
I like to shoot wide open as much as possible unless I am dealing with people on various planes. However, you have to be picky on you focus, which is hard! I use my focus points and stick it right on the subjects face, or if I am closer up I set my focus point right on the eye closest to me. My camera has 50 something focus points, so it helps a lot.
Camille said...
When you shoot in low light situations, how do your images still come out sharp? When I use a high ISO and/or low aperture, my photos come out more grainy/blurry than I'd like. Any tips on that besides using more light or longer exposure?
I bump up my ISO, but if you don't have a pretty good professional camera, the ISO will really affect your clarity. Mine does pretty well, much better than the lower grade cameras but not as well as the D700 (which I am sooo lusting after) or the Canon 5D Mark II. So if you find yourself shooting in low light frequently, it my be time to upgrade your camera or get an off camera flash or video light. However, it's important to be sure you are PLANNING on good light while shooting portrait sessions. There is just no reason to extend a family session past sunset unless you WANT to use a video light or flash or something.
Melissa said...
Yay! Thanks for taking the time to do this Jess! My question: Can you give us a run down on your technique for getting the sun flares?
(one of my favorite sun flare shots! do remind me to post all of these someday, i don't think i ever did...)
This could take quite a while, so I am going to refer you to a great tutorial from the fabulous PIONEER WOMAN! Have at it:
kg said...
I have the same equipment as you, so it's fun to always see the results of your pictures, I love your work. Questions...what's your favorite action(s)/most used, any tricks for full sun shooting
We talked a bit about sun shooting already, but also make sure the sun is fully facing your subject (if it isn't too bright, just before the sun goes down) or make sure it is directly behind them so you avoid harsh highlights and shadows.
shara said...
How to do approach a new location you've never shot at before? Do you scout it out before you go there with your clients or just let your creative spark lead you with your clients.
I do both, sometimes when I am getting sick of my spots, I go for a drive by myself and just scout some things out. But, I would say that I am generally pretty spontaneous! I usually decide where I am going to take a client AFTER I meet them the day of the shoot (if it's a bride I have usually already met them though, but not always). I take into account their clothing, their personalities, what their home décor style is like… that sort of thing. Then while we're driving/walking around and I see something that catches my eye, we use it. I always have some good default loacations and then go from there. =)
Marla said...
When shooting kids - toddlers like Max's age - do you have a preferred setting (app and shutter), or do you change that up? I struggle to change my camera settings and my focus area before the kiddos move or run or jump away . . . .
Shooting an active toddler is always a challenge, (I know! I have one!) so sometimes that means chasing them. I tend to keep my aperture low whenever I can, and that also allows me to keep my shutter speed higher so I don't get motion blur. Ultimately though, with toddlers, you just have to try and keep them entertained and hope for the best. =)
andrea said...Do you do anything specific to captivate childrens attention to make them look in your direction for a picture? Or do you take someone with you to be silly behind the camera while you snap away?
nope, it's just me, although a parent sometimes helps if its an idividual shot. There are all of the usual tricks, asking silly questions, making noises, etc. but the ones I like the best are putting DOWN the camera, and having a conversation with the child. I love to tease a little and ask if they have a boyfriend/girlfriend, I ask them about their teacher, what they like to play at recess and who their friends are, then I sneak the camera back up and snap all those priceless little expressions. There's NOTHING better! And the look is so much more REAL.
Newborns- since most sessions are taken inside, do you have a suggestion for what time of day provides the best lighting?
I usually like mornings and early afternoon, but it depends a bit on where you are shooting and the weather.
Marcie Meredith said...
I just discovered your photos. They are beautiful. I don't know if someone already asked, but I am trying to explore lighting in outdoor situations. So, do you use a flash very often? Also, do you use your flash on-camera or do you do alot of remote flash work? One more- Do you prefer posing your subjects in a certain light? Thanks for this!
During the day (and even sometimes during the night!) i ONLY ONLY ONLY use natural light. Ditto for indoor portraits like children and newborns. It's what i love, it's what makes me happy! i firmly believe that light can ALWAYS be found somewhere, you just have to get creative. they usually end up being my favoite shots too!
I am still in the relatively early stages of learning off camera flash, but I am LOVING it for night shoots and weddings! I use my speedlight with a gary fong light sphere for basic/formal reception shots sometimes, but I prefer to keep the light natural as much as possible. For artistic shots of the couple, off camera is the ONLY way to go. I also use a video light.
yea, that's right, this one's NATURAL LIGHT TOO! remind me to post these too someday.... i love love love crazy natural light.
marissa moss said...
okay, I might have to come back later in the week if i think of others, but my big hurdle right now is lighting. currently, I'm using 100% daylight, which is great… until it's not. i think you've mentioned using the gary fong lightsphere before, but lately I think you mentioned speedlights. do you use both? Is it one or the other depending on the situation? or have the speedlights replaced the lightsphere? also, are the speedlights on or off your camera?
Gary Fong's light sphere is a filter than goes on top of your external flash to keep the light softer and more even. I use my speedlight both on and off my camera. On camera for a formal shot at a wedding reception or something or for a light fill flash, off camera for a more artsy dramatic look (sooo fun!).
Brad and Alison said...
hi! How do you get multiple people in focus when they are in different planes? Does that make sense? It seems like somebody is always out of focus. Do I just up the aperature? What focus mode is the best? Do you use a specific setting on your camera?
If you have a group of people on different planes, there is no way around it. Aperture has to go UP! I use the dynamic selective focus thingy on my camera. How technical of me. =)
Crystal said...
How do you get those backlit/flash pictures with all the dust motes lit up like that? Do you use off camera flashes or any other flash-type equipment? How do you set that stuff up?
see all those little dust particles? who knew dust could be so lovely.
I use plain old sunlight. You have a limited time of day to get these types of shots, usually during sunset unless you're in a wooded area or something. I set up my composition, and then the key is to get yourself and your lens in the SHADE so the light doesn't completely flood your lens and blow out the image.
Little Cherry Blossoms said...
Any advice for me who takes product shots... What do you think is the best way to take a product shot? Any organizational tools that you use that you just love?
Hmm, how you organize your images is kinda one of those things that has to work for you, but I organize my client files by year, then type (wedding or portrait), then by client name, then raw files, proof edits, and final edits. This file organizing system is courtesy of KELLEE SMITH, who flat out saved my bum with her business workshop. But more about that later…
Shooting products. I like to use natural light for products, it's the cleanest most neutral light and it gives products a bit more dimension. So find yourself a nice window, and hop to it! And call me if you need help, I can always use an excuse to drop by your amaaaazing store! =)
Brittany Stucki said...
Hi, I also love your work. The question I have is how do you decide what props to bring, do you have your clients bring props, do you have a bag full you bring to each session? Do you have a place you like to buy them at? I love the little boys hat, and even before I saw this site I was trying to find something like it and have had a hard time.
Props are always tricky because I don't want the pictures to look like a Sear's backdrop. I usually just ask the client before hand if they would like to bring something or what they want me to bring. I like to base it off of the location and clothing choices. I don't really have a specific place I go "prop shopping" other than my own home, I just don't have that many. The hat I think you're referring to was brought to the session by the family, but I picked one up for my max a month or so afterward at GAP for like $6.
(the hat in quesion)
Isaac and Jenni Marshall said...
... Posing- ANY and ALL tips you have on posing for groups would be so helpful... especially when it comes to maintaining the attention of numerous kiddos. Do you have someone standing behind you, helping? Do you give specific or general posing suggestions to your clients? Do you have any resources that have been helpful in teaching you more about posing?
Posing is always a challenge when you're starting out. And some people are easier to pose than others! When I am posing groups, I am thinking a lot about all of the various levels and shapes that the people are making. I want the family portrait to look like art! Composition is a huge part of that. I usually start by posing the first couple of people and then adding one at a time.
for the first shot, i posed the parents first and worked the other kids around them. second shot, i really liked the spacing and levels here.
With couples or smaller groups, I feel like there is a lot more freedom. I usually like to give them a pose as starting off point or a scenario and then see what unfolds naturally, throwing in some directing in the process, keeping it fluid. Sometimes if people are camera shy though, I completely take charge. As in, touch their faces, physically move them, and tell them EXACTLY what to do. Usually the people who need that though, WANT to be told exactly what to do so they don't feel silly.
Kylee said...
3. Where do you get all your ideas for posing, etc?
i get ideas from everywhere, from magazines, studying amazing photographers (especially ones who are very different from me, you don't want to copy your competition, rather let differing styles influence yours and come up with something unique!), from my clients natural interactions, that sort of thing.
Brittany Stucki said...
Also, any tips on posing? Do you try to pose the little ones at the beginning and then just go with it??
NO!!! I pose parents and older siblings first, little ones always last because their attention span is the shortest and they won't stay in one place while I pose everyone else. So they get to play until the LAST second. =)
Cris, Callie, and Cayten said...
I have a major problem with posing families. More like telling them how to position themselves. How do you find new unique ways to pose and how do you explain what you are trying to get them to do? Does that make sense?
A lot of this has already been answered, but when communicating the pose to your client, I either demonstrate what I want them to do or physically put them in position if they aren't understanding what I mean. I think because I was a gymnast/coach/choreographer for so long, I have no problem pushing someone's shoulders down, tilting their heads a certain way, or showing them how to get a little sassy. =)
Heidi said...7. Have you set up any sort of home studio?
Nope, although I do make my own little backdrops and natural window night for newborns! Maybe someday I will have a studio… we'll see.
who needs a studio when you have WRAPPING PAPER?
ok guys, hope that helps. let me know what you think!

Seth Jones (born October 1972) is a political scientist at the RAND Corporation and adjunct professor at Georgetown University's Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service in Washington, D.C. He was also a professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California.
Jones is a well-known expert on Afghanistan and U.S. foreign policy. Jones attracted considerable attention for his historical analysis of Afghanistan and Pakistan in his book In the Graveyard of Empires: America's War in Afghanistan. The book examines the collapse of the Zahir Shah regime, the rise of the anti-Soviet war, the Afghan civil war in the early 1990s, the Taliban take-over of much of the country in the late 1990s, the U.S-led overthrow of the Taliban regime in 2001, and the subsequent insurgency.
Jones also received considerable attention for his work with Ambassador James Dobbins on nation-building. Their RAND book America's Role in Nation-Building, which examined the U.S. history of nation-building since World War II, suggested that the U.S. needed nearly 500,000 soldiers to stabilize Iraq after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein's government. L. Paul Bremer, head of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, took the study to U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and President George W. Bush. Based on the study's conclusions, Bremer suggested that the United States military needed to reconsider downsizing its forces in Iraq and, on the contrary, increase them to help patrol cities and villages. But Bremer's memo was ignored.

We say that there are approximately 400,000 people living with a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis in the United States…but we don't really know.
This session the US Congress is set to, once again, take up the idea of a national registry for neurological diseases (like MS, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, etc). The idea was proposed in the 111th congress and even though the house version had 206 members sign on as co-sponsors, it died in committee.
The new House and Senate versions of the bills have fewer than 50 sponsors between the two houses.
The goal of the registry would be to serve as an important source of epidemiological information for researchers, health care providers, patients and service organizations. As of now we have very little data as to incidence and prevalence of MS (nor the other listed conditions) as well as providing an important foundation of information to help us understand many factors of MS.
MS is not currently a 'reportable' disease to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This means that information to help us understand factors like geographic clusters of MS, variance in gender ratios, disease burden and health care practices are not available at any level beyond antidotal.
According to the Pew Environmental Health Commission's 2000 recommendations, such a registry could allow for identification of high risk populations, recognize related environmental factors and even begin to establish prevention strategies (when coupled with hoped-for research breakthroughs).
Service organizations could also rely on the information to help them provide targeted services to people with MS.
The last one-off study of incidence and prevalence of MS in the United States took place in 1975. It's time for a permanent, National registry of these devastating neurological conditions and as much information can already be mined from the Medicare, VA and State health departments, initial cost to tax payers would be minimal.
Please, join with me in contacting your representatives in congress and ask them to co-sponsor and/or support H.R. 2595 or S. 425. I am joining a group of 6 or 7 people living with MS in my community at a meeting with our Congressman's staff next week. I encourage you to call, write or visit your representative's local office and ask for their help.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.
Don't forget that you can also follow me via my Life With MS Facebook page and on Twitter

Conditions for freedom of expression in Azerbaijan remain dire, as authorities continue to imprison journalists and bloggers who express dissenting opinions. Violence against journalists has not abated, and the media are harassed with impunity. Although the 2000 Law on Mass Media guarantees freedom of speech and access to information, these rights are not protected in practice. Libel is a criminal offense, and the government frequently uses it in politicized ways. In the first half of 2011, there were 11 new cases filed under libel and insult provisions of the criminal code, and 27 cases from previous years were still pending. A draft bill that would decriminalize libel, prepared by the Press Council, has been awaiting discussion in the parliament for a number of years.
Various other criminal laws, including those pertaining to terrorism, hooliganism, narcotics, inciting hatred, and tax evasion, are used by the authorities to suppress critical reporting. In October 2011, court officers raided the weekly Khural's newsroom and confiscated all of its equipment, alleging that editor in chief Avaz Zeynalli had failed to pay damages imposed by a Baku court in a 2010 defamation case. Zeynalli was then arrested in November on bribery and extortion charges stemming from a complaint filed by a member of parliament, and he was ordered by the court to be held in pretrial detention for three months. Khural's website remained accessible, but the print edition stopped publishing. Khural has been critical of President Ilham Aliyev's policies toward journalists and political opposition.
The government has failed to appoint a special information ombudsman as required by 2005 freedom of information legislation, and transferred the role to an existing ombudsman's office. Authorities at all levels systematically refuse to respond to information requests. Lawsuits filed by media outlets and civil society representatives over state agencies' failure to act on information inquiries generally did not yield any results. The government nominates all members of the National Television and Radio Council (NTRC), the country's regulatory body. The authorities use various methods to censor the media, even though official censorship has been banned since 1998. For example, legal amendments adopted in 2009 restrict the ability of journalists to film or photograph individuals without their consent, even at public events.
In May 2011, Eynulla Fatullayev, a well-known investigative journalist and editor in chief of two of Azerbaijan's most popular independent newspapers, was pardoned and released from prison after serving four years on charges of defamation, terrorism, tax evasion, and drug possession. His case had received widespread international attention. Fatullayev had been reporting on the government's failure to solve the 2005 murder of his colleague at the Monitor, Elmar Huseynov, when he was arrested and found guilty of threatening terrorism and inciting ethnic hatred. He was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison. In July 2010, Fatullayev was sentenced to another two and a half years behind bars on the spurious charge of drug possession inside prison. He was freed a year after the European Court of Human Rights ordered the government to release him.
The political environment is dominated by the president and the ruling party. The rise of protest movements across the Arab world in 2011 resonated in Azerbaijan, with protesters taking to the streets in March and April and the government responding by cracking down on demonstrators. The authorities also targeted journalists and bloggers, preventing some from covering the protests and beating those who did.
Journalists continued to experience a high level of attacks and intimidation unrelated to the protests, and one journalist, Rafiq Tagi, was killed in 2011. Tagi died in November, four days after being stabbed outside his home by an unknown assailant. Along with editor Samir Sadagatoglu of the monthly Senet, he had been given a four-year prison sentence in 2007 for "incitement to religious hatred" in a philosophical essay published in 2006. Despite a fatwa issued against Tagi by an Iranian grand ayatollah, and subsequent threats to his life, the authorities had refused to grant him protection. His was the first murder of a journalist in the country since Huseynov's; both men had been penalized by the authorities for their writings, but their killings have gone unpunished.
In March, two correspondents for Azadliq newspaper were kidnapped and beaten one week apart, and warned to cease working for the newspaper. In September, family members of journalist Idrak Abbasov were beaten and their home was damaged by security personnel working for state-owned Binagadi Oil Company, which had been investigated by Abbasov, a member of the Baku-based Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety (IRFS). Journalists are regularly harassed in Nakhchivan, an autonomous Azerbaijani exclave. Foreign reporters have also faced abuses in the country. In April, three Swedish journalists were detained during an opposition protest and deported the next day. In June, Amanda Erickson, an American freelance contributor to the Washington Post and the New York Times, and Celia Davies, a British staffer at IRFS, were severely beaten. They had intended to meet with Fatullayev following his release. Four men followed and attacked Erickson and Davies outside their apartment building in Baku. The men, who were later detained by the authorities, denied knowing or targeting the journalists.
The media have also suffered as a result of Azerbaijan's conflict with Armenia over the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. In June, a photojournalist for the Bloomberg news agency, Diana Markosian, was denied entry to Azerbaijan. The Foreign Ministry said she did not have accreditation, but also stated that her safety could not be guaranteed due to her Armenian background. Russian daily Izvestiya's correspondent Yuriy Snegirev was banned from entering Azerbaijan in July as a result of two articles about Nagorno-Karabakh that he had published in June.
State dominance of the media continues to harm diversity and pluralism. Ownership of print outlets is reserved mainly for government officials or the ruling party, although several opposition parties operate newspapers as well. The broadcast media are almost entirely in the hands of the government and its allies, sometimes through nominal intermediaries; no verifiable information is available on the real owners. The authorities use economic pressure on distribution, printing, and advertising to control the print, broadcast, and online media industries. There is no effective method of distribution outside major cities. The allocation of state advertising and state subsidies is not conducted transparently. Most journalists work without employment security or contracts, and receive irregular salaries.

This past week, Biogen Idec and Elan Pharmaceuticals, reported to their respective regulatory agencies that two new cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) were conclusively diagnosed in European MS patients who were undergoing Tysabri (natalizumab) mono-therapy for multiple sclerosis. The details of the reports are somewhat vague.
Extensive procedures taking approximately two months for each patient have proven that two separate patients in two different countries who were using Tysabri for two separate kinds of MS for differing periods of time have contracted PML. Both patients are reported as "stable," though company officials were vague on the patients' prognoses.
It's not like we didn't expect to hear this news… eventually. Everyone on Tysabri knows that this drug is a powerful immune-modulating agent. Government labeling requirements list a definitive risk of contracting PML while on this therapy. Strict guidelines have been laid out by regulators to ensure that patients on Tysabri are aware of the risks. In addition, only doctors who understand the warning signs and "emergency" steps to be taken if PML signs occur are allowed to prescribe the drug. The important thing to remember now is that the heightened vigilance required for Tysabri to return to market seems to be working.
These regulations and procedures are not in place to stop PML from occurring. Rather, the guidelines are set to ensure that the disease is caught at the earliest possible stage of progression once contracted and clinically presenting. In other words, some people on Tysabri are going to get PML. The hope is that doctors will be able to catch the disease early thus be able to limit its damage.
PML is not curable and, if left unchecked, is often fatal.
The patients with PML were, as I said, quite different in their circumstances. One patient had been using Tysabri for 14 months while the other had been on therapy for 17 months. One had RRMS while the other a more progressive form (the RRMS patient had been on interferon prior to Tysabri but underwent the recommended "drug holiday" before beginning mono-therapy with Tysabri).
Both patients presented with unusual neurological symptoms approximately two months ago. After initial screening, both patients were removed from Tysabri treatment while testing continued. The testing included MRI and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) testing (spinal tap).
In one case, viral DNA was found in the first CSF test, while in the other patient a second test was needed to show this conclusive data. One patient remains in the hospital while the other is being treated as an outpatient.
Treatment for PML is very limited. Blood plasmapheresis is a purification procedure also known as therapeutic plasma exchange, and it has been performed numerous times on these two patients.
Our Tysabri blog posts have been some of our most popular. I wanted to get this information out to you so we can discuss it together.
Many of you know that I am considering Tysabri as my next treatment step. I'm confident that many of you are as well. This new information, along with our conversation, will be very helpful to many in this community.
I think I'll leave this posting to just these facts for now. Later in the week (or perhaps next), we can dive further into the ramifications of these newly reported cases of PML. These cases were caught early (I'm told that two months is pretty early) and measures were taken.
We'll all keep these two European MS brethren in our thoughts as we await more information. Stay tuned.
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Lake Mary Rams beat Patriots for first time in 10 years
Rams host Patriots in ClickOrlando.com High School Game of the Week
LAKE MARY, Fla. – This week's ClickOrlando.com High School Game of the Week was a long time Seminole County rivalry -- the Lake Mary Rams hosted the Patriots from Lake Brantley.
In the first quarter, Ram quarterback Daniel Brown connected with his wide receiver Nick Westbrook for a 70 yard pass-and-catch. After Lake Mary added the extra point, they were on top 7-0.
The Rams would stay with the passing game. Still in the first quarter, Brown and Westbrook would hook up again with a 19 yard touchdown, putting Lake Mary up 14-0.
After a Patriot touchdown, Brown and Westbrook connected for their third touchdown, taking the 21-6 lead into halftime.
Lake Brantley would capitalize on Lake Mary's mistakes in the second half.
In the third quarter, Patriot running back Maruice Thomas returned the Ram kickoff to pay dirt, cutting the lead to 21-13.
The very next Ram possession, Lake Brantley corner back, Jake Harrell intercepted Brown's pass, taking it all the way to the house. After a two-point conversion, the Patriots and Rams were tied up at 21.
After a couple of stalled drives, Lake Mary forced Lake Brantley to punt with 5 minutes left in the game, but a bad snap went over the punter's head and the Rams picked it up and took it to the end zone.
Lake Mary would add a field goal and go on to beat the Patriots for the first time in 10 years, 37-28.

By Sunday morning, I was finally feeling well enough to leave my apartment. That turkey chili left me toe up.
I asked Nina and Ashley if they would go shopping with me to find a dress for the charity auction. I'd been given a plus one, and I briefly contemplated inviting Grady before realizing how weird that would be. Instead, I made Ashley and Nina flip a coin to see who got to eat a free dinner at the Waldorf and watch me awkwardly pimp myself out. It was a surprisingly hot ticket, and Ashley was thrilled when she nabbed it.
"Can I bid on you?" she asked.
"I beg you to," I said.
"Great. I can spare forty dollars."
I'd been texting with Grady on and off since he left my apartment. He recovered around the same time I did, and he didn't seem to be harboring any resentment towards me, which was nothing short of a miracle because he was completely within his rights to. He even asked me to see a movie on Monday night, which I agreed to do with gusto. I'd had a lot of spare time on my hands in the last couple days, and I'm not proud to admit this, but I'd spent it stalking Peter on Facebook and Instagram, digging for any clues that he may be single now (I found nothing). I know I just had a freak out about the prospect of us getting back together, but I was sick and bored and if I'm being totally honest with myself, I still want Peter to want me. It didn't escape me that part of why I was so excited to go out with Grady was because I was feeling passed over by Peter, once again, and I was looking for validation and Grady could provide that. But what do I do? Not hang out with a perfectly nice guy who I suspect is hung like a horse just because I have issues? I guess that's exactly what I should do, huh? Ugh.
Nina met me at Bloomingdales around lunchtime. Ashley said she would have to catch up with us later because she had to work.
"On a Sunday?" I asked.
"Yeah, I've been really busy lately," she said, a bit defensively.
Nina and I found nothing in Bloomingdales, so we decided to go into Soho and check out some of the boutiques there. I rarely shop in Soho, mostly because I find the small, upscale shops intimidating. But the checks for the show had cleared, and I was feeling a little like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman—I have money to spend here, people!
I ended up finding this gorgeous, floral printed dress at the Tibi shop. Normally, I would only buy a Tibi dress if it was on sale, but Nina convinced me to just go for it.
"We've been shopping for hours and I'm starving," she whined.
"So is this about me deserving the dress or you needing lunch?"
"Obviously about me needing lunch!" she said.
So I bought it. I could hardly believe I did it. But you know what? I felt really good when I walked out of the store. Like I'd arrived or something. I would always cherish this dress because it's the first 'big' thing I've bought with my own money, and that's a pretty cool feeling.
There was a wait at every brunch spot in Soho, so Nina and I decided to walk east, over to Bowery, where the path is a little more beaten. We were just rounding onto Lafayette when Nina grabbed my arm and stopped me.
"Look," she whispered. Ashley was on the corner, kissing a guy who looked old enough to be her father.
I looked at Nina, my mouth agape. "Who is that?"
"Her boss," Nina said. "Her married boss."
In an instant, the kiss was over and Ashley's boss turned away from us to walk in the other direction. Ashley turned towards us. When she saw us standing there, her hand went to her mouth. She didn't move, so Nina and I approached her.
"Ashhhh," Nina said.
"Don't, okay?" she was staring at the ground and her cheeks were burning red. "I already know what you're going to say. But he's separated, okay? They're getting a divorce."
I put my hands up. "Hey, I'm in no place to judge."
"How old is he?" Nina demanded.
"Forty-five," Ashley said.
"Phew," Nina grinned. "That's not completely old balls."
Ashley didn't smile. "It's not funny, you guys. We're in love. This is serious."
Hoooo-boy. We convinced Ashley to join us for lunch. Once we had bloodies in front of us, Ashley opened up about how it had all gone down. "We had this work dinner," Ashley said. "And we shared a cab home. I knew he'd been going through something with his wife—her attorney had been calling him a lot. But he told me the whole story that night, and we ended up kissing."
"When was this?" I asked.
"About three months ago," Ashley said.
"You've hidden this from us for three months?" Nina squawked.
"Because I knew you guys wouldn't approve!" Ashley said, looking pointedly at me. I had to bite my lip to keep from pointing out how she had been the one to get all sour over the fact that I'd hooked up with Justin when he was just "seeing" his ex. How she had told me I was better than that. I guess she made the exception because her boss is legally separated?
"It's not necessarily about him being married," Nina said.
"Legally separated," Ashley stressed.
"Whatever. It's more—he's your boss. Do your co-workers suspect anything? What if you get a rep as the girl who sleeps with her boss?"
"That's why we're trying to keep it quiet," Ashley said. "Listen, I really don't want to talk about this anymore. Can you respect that?"
"Will you promise me something, though?" I asked.
"That you'll look for a new job," I said.
"It's already happening," Ashley said.
We changed the subject after that. I still can't believe that Ashley has been having this secret affair for the last few months. If this doesn't have disaster written all over it, I don't know what does. At least it's not my disaster for once.
On Monday, William called me into his office.
"Close the door behind you," he said. I did as I was told, my stomach seizing up at the solemn tone of his voice. Something was definitely up.
"Is everything okay?" I took a seat in the chair in front of his desk.
"It's been better," he said.
"Okay." I swallowed.
"Did you schedule a lunch for me with Judy Darton?" I felt like throwing up, even though I'd done plenty of that in the last week. Judy Darton was one of the executives on the top floor, and yes, I had scheduled a lunch for her and William—and I'd totally forgotten to put it on William's calendar.
"I did," I said. "And I completely forgot to put it on your calendar. I am so sorry."
"Josie, this is not good," William said. "Judy called me from the restaurant. She thought I stood her up. Do you understand that when you screw up, it makes me look bad?"
Don't cry, don't cry, I told myself. "I do," I said. "I've just been so overwhelmed with the show. I have no excuse for myself. I promise you it won't happen again."
"Well, which is it?" William demanded, loudly. "Either you have no excuse for yourself or you're too overwhelmed? I worried this show might go to your head. Just because you're going to be on TV doesn't mean you can shirk your responsibilities with me."
"Of course," I agreed. "I wouldn't ever want you to think this job isn't my first priority. It is."
"Josie, I know Megan and I told you that eventually you would just be able to assist just one of us. But the truth is I don't think our arrangement is going to change any time soon. We simply don't have the budget to hire a second assistant. If you can't handle this, we'll have to find someone else who can."
"William, I can handle this." I forced my voice to come out strong, even though on the inside I was shaking like a leaf.
William just looked at me. It was the longest thirty seconds of my life. A thin film of sweat broke out on my lip and I desperately wanted to brush it away, but I couldn't with William staring me down like that. Finally, he said, "Alright. Get out of here."
I didn't even go back to my desk. I went straight to the bathroom and locked myself in a stall and cried like a sissy little girl. It wasn't just that one incident with William either—Megan had yelled at me last week for forgetting to give her an important message. Megan had said the same thing about the show, and clearly her and William had spoken about me. The ice I was on was thinner than Lindsay Lohan's old lips. I couldn't lose this job—I'd finally found something that I liked, that I was good at, and I was with a company that I saw a future with. I made a promise to myself that I was going to buckle down and throw myself into work over the next few weeks. I had to prove to William and Megan that I could handle this.
I collected myself and went back to my desk, where I cancelled my plans with Grady. I was going to stay at work late, and get ahead on my coverage on a pile of manuscripts Megan and William had handed off to me.
Grady wanted to reschedule plans for Tuesday night, but I couldn't because of the charity auction. Grady had to work the rest of the week, and I have the Hamptons house this weekend.
"How about I just call you next week when I'm back?" I said.
We agreed to do that. And maybe it was better any way—a week or so to focus solely on work, without a guy on the back burner, may do me some good.

The Culture of Cities: Revising the Chicago Story
Convener: Carlo Rotella (Boston College)
As one of the great shock cities of modernity, Chicago inspired
story-telling imaginations of all sorts-literary, sociological, political,
and more. The canon of Chicago stories that emerged in the early twentieth
century included works by Dreiser, Sandburg, and Wright, as well as Robert
Park and Daniel Burnham, to name a few prominent figures from the short
list. But as this canon solidified into formula and the shock of industrial
modernity wore off, new kinds of distance opened up between canonical
Chicago stories' familiar big-shouldered contours and the lived realities of
the city to which they referred. Seen from the vantage point of the early
twenty-first century, a little or a lot of revision may well be in order.
Our discussion will consider the recent, current, and future shape of
Chicago stories and their relationship to the well-known stories that came
before. (This will be an invitational session but suggestions or proposals
can be sent to Professor Carlo Rotella at <mailto:rotellca_at_bc.edu>

Anyone have any experience with Windows Defender? Is it a replacement for antivirus software or something else to run alongside?
We are looking for something that isnt as bloated as McAfee 8.5i.

Anyone have any experience with Windows Defender? Is it a replacement for antivirus software or something else to run alongside?
We are looking for something that isnt as bloated as McAfee 8.5i.
I've yet to see any use for Windows Defender, in my limited exposure to it, other than to alert me that there wasn't any recent updates on the system. The security control panel is often more talkative than the windows update system.
Personally I've always used Kaspersky Anti virus. They do have an "internet security suite", but considering the additional resources it uses over the "anti virus" option, I go for the AV. It's very fast, updates every 2-4 hours (although you may set this option to anything you'd like), and I've used it time and time again to pull infected windows installs from the dead.
Just a happy user of it, although I'm primarily a Linux user at home, I do support 40+ Windows workstations, and all of them are well protected with Kaspersky.
Defender is just an anti-spyware kit. It's not going to stop all viruses so you'll still depend on a decent virusscanner. But it can replace some of the McAfee features.
Windows Defender is old.
Check out Microsoft Security Essentials, which "provides real-time protection for your home PC that guards against viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. ". MSE came out in mid-2009. It's free for licensed Windows installations.
Consumer Reports rated Anti-malware program in their latest issue, and Microsoft Security Essentials is one of the top free contenders. The report is available in the June 2010 issue, article "Security software" (still on the stands now), or via a paid subscription to www.consumerreports.org.
Windows Defender is an anti-spyware program, not an antivirus program. You still need a separate antivirus program. Some computer security suites include antispyware programs, and so you may be able to uninstall (on Windows XP) or turn off (on Vista) the Windows Defender functionality if you have this threat covered in another way.
I have McAfee VirusScan on approximately 90 machines, and I know first-hand that it can, indeed, slow your computer down, but you can configure it at a very fine level of granularity. As always, performance and security involve trade-offs. The more things you want VirusScan or any other antivirus program to check, the more processor and memory resources it will use.
Hmmm, any anti-virus that is any good should hook in any access/execution made on the system for a already known signature or common exploit type. This also means that any good anti-virus will slow your processes down dramatically.
I would rather go to a different approach, disallow changes/installations outside the users directory except for approved binaries. Have the users directory in a DFS and make regular backups. Scan incoming network on know pests.
I used this method in the past in a 4k+ users network and it worked fine, but I also think I was very lucky to never had a major pest problem in the last 8 years.
I'm of the opinion that it's more suitable for home users or really small workgroup-level networks. If you're scanning all inbound (and outbound - it's your responsibility to ensure that something nasty doesn't get out of your network and on to someone else) traffic at the gateway level, have a decent corporate AV solution in place, and have implemented sensible desktop-level security precautions and web access control/filtering, then I don't really think you need it.
Of course, it is an extra layer of protection so it may give you a greater comfort zone, but one thing it is not is a replacement AV solution.
Based on conversations that I have listened to on Security Now, Windows Defender is an anti-spyware software that scans your system for known threats. It does not do any real-time scanning as many anti-virus programs do and its definition files are updated by the monthly Microsoft update. Incidentally, that is when the program is also run. I would suggest that you keep it on your system, enabled, and updated as well as run a good anti-virus program. Here is some information from Microsoft about it.
I have Windows Defender, which from the above conversations, sounds like an anti-spyware only product. I use it side-by-side with Panda Antivirus (free). It works flawlessly, for now at least. I'm pretty happy with it.

Microsoft employees exchange the office for Oxfordshire's Paradise Woods to take part in Earthwatch's innovative one-day employee engagement program.
Employees of Microsoft's Leadership Training Group went to the woods to collect data about climate change and forests. While undertaking this crucial research, the group also gained the knowledge and support they needed to deliver their business goal: to develop a team-wide environmental sustainability action plan to take back to their headquarters in Reading, United Kingdom.
Microsoft employees were able to engage with the subject of climate change and explore how to maximize the benefit of a key environmental and business alignment.
In 2011, Microsoft awarded Earthwatch a technology grant that helped Earthwatch to create a customized database, streamline its intranet, and launch a more robust and user-friendly website.
In 2012, Earthwatch delivered two one-day programs for Microsoft, focusing on relevant employee groups within the business. The employees carried out research on the response of forests to climate change and took part in structured workshop sessions and discussions facilitated by Earthwatch. By the end of the day, the participants found they had a clearer understanding of environmental sustainability as a business imperative, and could connect climate change issues to Microsoft's business activities.
In Paradise Woods, away from the daily grind, with a new group of people and new stimulus, there was an opportunity to take a deep breath, look at their organization from a different angle, feel a new enthusiasm for this topic, make new connections, and start new ways of thinking.
Climate Change is the biggest environmental imperative for energy reduction, but it is also a business imperative to control costs and improve efficiency. On this program, Microsoft employees were able to immerse themselves in the subject and explore how to maximize the benefit of this key environmental and business alignment. Participating in environmental research on climate change and breaking down energy reduction into specific actions provides a way of understanding complex issues by engaging with them on a manageable scale.
Learning about the carbon cycle from a scientist out in the forest, before measuring trees in order to understand carbon storage, is ideal for illuminating what can seem a complex and intangible concept – climate change. The parallels between this and the business sustainability strategy were clearly drawn out through the program. Both require complex and challenging goals, but by breaking them down into their component parts we were able to help participants find a clear path and motivation to move forward.
The effect was that business leaders became "change agents" with a mandate to change business as usual. 100 percent of participants said the day had significantly or very significantly increased their commitment to taking action toward environmental sustainability in their business, and that it had motivated them to include more environmental considerations in their day-to-day decision-making.
Climate change is an environmental imperative for energy reduction, as well as to control costs and improve efficiency.
Microsoft employees immerse themselves in the research.
Find out how business and environmental outcomes are achieved by corporate partnerships with Earthwatch.
EY professionals gain hands on experience with both science and the business of sustainability through the EY-Earthwatch Ambassadors Program.
HSBC's Sustainability Leadership Program is a unique professional development experience for senior leaders, designed to promote understanding of sustainability as a core business issue and opportunity.
Coral Communities in the Seychelles began in 2006 to assess the impact of climate change on coral reefs and informing plans to help safeguard these precious ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.
Earthwatch and Starbucks have partnered to support scientific research and employee engagement. Together, they've promoted sustainable farming practices in one of the world's premier coffee-growing regions.

10 April 2014 at 5.03pm | 7 Comments
Gounod's opera Faust is full of really memorable tunes, especially for the chorus. One of the most delightfully exuberant comes towards the end of Act II – 'Ainsi que la brisé légère'. It has a lightness and consistent propulsion that captures the spirit of the words, which describe waltzing as a light breeze raising dust from fields. The first verse describes being drawn into the waltz and making the countryside resound with singing. In a second verse, the words are of dancing till out of breath, until carried away as the earth dizzily spins round. The final lines are: 'Quel bruit! Quelle joie dans tous les yeux!' – What a noise, what happiness in everyone's eyes!
By the middle of the 19th century, Europe whirled to the waltz. For people with two legs and a left/right two-time rhythm, the effect of three beats in a bar proved intoxicating. It invited a sense of perpetual motion through the momentum of turning as you dance. And with this came associations of liveliness, levity and even lasciviousness – you need to hold your partner very close! The waltz was the dance of hedonistic enjoyment. So when Gounod uses a waltz to introduce the celebrating crowds in Act II of Faust, he signals through his musical setting their complete happiness.
Gounod uses more than the three-beats-in-the-bar regularity of the waltz rhythm and the steady oom-pah-pah accompaniment. While the first part of the waltz begins with repeated notes in a middle register, the second section picks out a high note at the beginning of each phrase (echoed in the orchestration straight after). This creates that sense of lift, as though the tune just can't be kept down.
Using the waltz as a social dance that evokes a sensation of group abandonment to pleasure recurs in operas and operettas. For example, Puccini uses it in La rondine with a series of waltz sections that sweep through Bullier's dance hall, where Act II is set. But it works for solo moments too.
One of the highlights of Gounod's Faust is the Jewel Song for Marguerite. She discovers a box of wonderful jewels, conjured up by Méfistofélès to help Faust seduce her. As she opens the box, then tries out how she would look in diamonds and pearls, she sings an aria famous for its coloratura (fast and delicate high notes). Here is the same musical creation of breathless excitement, the racing heart. It shows itself in the main tune, which begins with a run up to one little high note – a thrill of delight – followed by a phrase of incredulous delight, and continues through successive rising phrases.
Gounod recognized a good bit of musical characterization and used exactly the same technique in his opera Roméo et Juliette. In the first act, Juliette declares she has no intention of marrying and settling down to some domestic restraint. Instead, 'Je veux vivre' – she wants to live! She sings about this in a gloriously catchy coloratura waltz song that is sister to Marguerite's Jewel Song. The little gasping effect is now the breathless enthusiasm of Juliet as the song starts – her will to indulge in life's experiences is already in the audience's mind contrasted with the knowledge of how doomed a desire this is. And of course, in Faust, we also know that Marguerite's happiness too will be short-lived. But while that waltz song plays, we forget the future and just give in to the moment and that delightful, invigorating, seemingly endless whirl.
Faust runs until 25 April 2014. Tickets are still available.
Faust is a co-production with Opéra de Monte Carlo, Opéra de Lille and Fondazione Teatro Lirico Giuseppe Verdi, Trieste, and is given with generous philanthropic support from David Hancock, Spindrift Al Swaidi, Martin and Jane Houston, Mr and Mrs Christopher W.T. Johnston, The Tsukanov Family Foundation, The Connoisseurs' Series and The Friends of Covent Garden.

Benign Brain Tumor Symptoms
Medical Author: Charles Davis, MD, PhD
Medical Editor: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Benign brain tumors are usually defined as a group of similar cells that do not follow normal cell division and growth patterns and develop into a mass of cells that microscopically do not have the characteristic appearance of a cancer. Most benign brain tumors are found by CT or MRI brain scans. These tumors usually grow slowly, do not invade surrounding tissues or spread to other organs, and often have a border or edge that can be seen on CT scans. These tumors rarely develop into metastatic (cancerous or spreading) tumors. Most benign brain tumors can be removed; the benign tumors usually do not reoccur after removal. The exact causes of benign brain tumors are not known, but investigators have suggested that family history, radiation exposure, or exposure to chemicals (for example, vinyl chloride, formaldehyde) may be risk factors.

Boeing is shaking up its shrinking defense division, putting some executives into new roles and reducing the number of managers.
Boeing makes military helicopters and planes, in addition to commercial jets used by airlines. The commercial airplane business has been expanding. But the defense business is suffering because of tight government spending in the U.S. and other countries.
Boeing says it is reducing defense executives by 30 percent from 2010 levels.
Spokesman Todd Blecher says much of that has already happened, and the last 10 percent of the cuts will come by the end of the year. On Wednesday, Boeing reassigned several defense executives.
Boeing says it has cut defense facilities by 10 percent "and is looking for more over time."
It did not say which facilities will be affected.

You See: The Early Years of the UC Davis Studio Art Faculty
Date: 2/4/2008; 58 minutes
Between 1959 and 1962 Richard L. Nelson brought together a legendary faculty built around the participation of Robert Arneson, Roy De Forest, Manuel Neri, Wayne Thiebaud, and William T. Wiley. How did it happen that a relatively obscure, rural California University, best known for its veterinary, medical and agriculture programs, was able to pull together such a major roster of artists and teachers? Join Manuel Neri, Wayne Thiebaud and William T. Wiley as they reflect on the department. (#13824)

As someone whose favorite NFL team is NOT the Green Bay Packers or Pittsburgh Steelers, and therefore must spend a good deal of time every NFL season being told how my team fails to stack up to either franchise in terms of success and tradition and general fanbase awesomeness, I find myself torn about the upcoming Super Bowl. I'm jealous and resentful of BOTH these teams, and I really don't like the idea of either one becoming more successful and legendary than they already are. That just means my favorite team falls even farther behind.
What's more, the Super Bowl usually has a clear hero and clear villain. Last year's villain was Indianapolis. Three years before that, the Giants were the heroes. These things usually correspond with who's favored in the game and who isn't (the favorite is always evil), but the line on this game has already switched favorites (from the Steelers being favored by one to Green Bay being favored by two).
So there's no clear favorite, and the Steelers and Packers have long been portrayed as the "good" franchises of the NFL. They build through the draft. They come from the interior of the country. They have loyal fans who are severely overweight. When that you take all that into account, who on Earth should you give your heart to for this matchup? There's only one way to do this. We must break out the pros and cons and play… QUIEN ES MAS MACHO?!!!
PROS: -They no longer employ Brett Favre.
-Winning the Super Bowl without Favre only serves to put his legacy further back in the rearview.
-Remember when Aaron Rodgers grew a porno mustache? That was cool.
-They have a very exciting player in Clay Matthews III, a man who appears to have been engineered in a genetics lab somewhere in Oregon.
-A Super Bowl win means Dom Capers will be able to afford a more convincing hairpiece.
-A Super Bowl could cause Ted Thompson to go mad with power, possibly attempt to buy the sun.
-Coach Mike McCarthy punted from inside the opposing 40 roughly fifty times last week. Does that style of coaching really need validation? Please tell me it doesn't.
-I just know James Starks is gonna end up going way too high in fantasy drafts next year and then have a 300-yard season. It's inevitable. I'm ready to dislike him right now.
-I know the media says nice things about Packers fans, but have you met any? Like, in a bar? You will NOT be pleased.
-If I hear that FROZEN TUNDRA thing one more freakin' time…
PROS: -Team chairman Dan Rooney spoke out this week against a work stoppage and an 18-game season. That was pleasant.
-Brett Keisel's beard. Get that man a guitar and a spot in the Monsters of Rock lineup.
-They have NOTHING to do with Brett Favre. At all.
-Have gained a shocking amount of good will from the football public simply by not being either the Patriots or Colts.
-I would hang out with Troy Polamalu. He seems very cool.
CONS: -Oh, right. That whole thing with Big Ben.
-Almost as bad as two weeks of hearing about Big Ben's road to redemption. I think I liked it better when he was an arrogant jerk.
-"That Hines Ward sure knows how to block!" says the analyst who refuses to acknowledge that Ward is DIRTY. Dirty dirty dirty!
-James Harrison is a whiny baby who threatened to retire because he got fined for a few hits. Oh, boo hoo, James. I've made emptier threats to my children. NO MORE BLUE'S CLUES FOR YOU! Oh, all right. One hour and that's it!
-Laws of NFL fandom dictate that you hate any team that wins too much. A potential seventh Super Bowl ring? TOO MUCH WINNING. Their fans will all become awful.
And that last point is the one that tilts the scales. No Favre and less titles means that Green Bay is the correct emotional choice for the neutral Super Bowl viewer. But only by a little. If only Jay Cutler had made it here. This would have been so, so much easier.

Yater-Wallace qualifies second for superpipe final
the aspen times
Basalt's Torin Yater-Wallace said last week he wasn't near where his ability would typically be after undergoing shoulder surgery in September.
He looked just fine in his first competition back Thursday morning on Buttermilk.
Yater-Wallace scored a 90 in his first run in the skiing superpipe event, and his score only eclipsed by the defending gold medalist, David Wise of Reno, Nevada in the final run of the day.
Aspen's Alex Ferreira – a former Aspen Valley Ski and Snowboard club athlete – failed to qualify for tonight's final after falling on both runs.
But it was Yater-Wallace who proved to be undaunted after training for just a little more than five weeks, and not competing in a single event since last season. He opened his first run with a right side double cork 1260, then landed every trick afterward to claim the top spot from France's Kevin Rolland, who put up an 88 before Yater-Wallace took to the pipe.
Ferreira, who drew loud cheers from friends and family at the bottom of the pipe, fell on his third jump after landing a left side 1080 and a switch right side 900. In his second run, he soared more than 18 feet out of the pipe to land a left side 1080. Ferreira then landed a 720, a double cork 1260, and then on his final jump, he he couldn't land a right side 900.
He wound up 13th in his first X Games appearance with a score of 37.
In Yater-Wallace's second run, with the finals spot already locked up, he dialed the difficulty down a notch, and scored an 87.
Wise improved on his 87 in his first run with a 92 in the second to head into the final as the No. 1 qualifier.
Yater-Wallace looks to win his third medal in as many opportunities. Last year, he grabbed the bronze medal, and in 2011, as a 15 year-old, he took silver.
Kevin Rolland, the 2010 and 2011 gold medalist, qualified second with a first run score of 88. Tanner Hall, making a comeback to the games since having knee surgery in 2009 and becoming addicted to painkillers, failed to qualify with two uninspiring runs that produced scores of 66.33 and 69.33. Last year's silver medalist, Noah Bowman, was held out of the finals by finishing ninth with a second round score of 70.66. Crested Butte's Aaron Blunck headed to finals after placing sixth in qualifiers.

The 600 Club debuted in 1989 and a new press offered more space for writers and broadcasters along with a control room for the park's video and scoreboards. On the field, the Red Sox couldn't recapture the magic of 1988 and finished with a disappointing 83 wins.
Record: 83-79, 3rd in American League East
Manager: Joseph M. Morgan
Attendance: 2,510,012
When the Red Sox lost four of their first five games, concerns about another letdown sprouted and fans hoped 1989 wouldn't be a repeat of 1987. Luckily, the team came alive to hold first place by Patriots Day and retained their grasp on the top spot for most of May.
However, by the third month of the regular season, momentum seemed to be going in the wrong direction. On June 4 the Red Sox led Toronto 10-0 after six innings at Fenway Park but the Blue Jays scored 11 runs in the last three innings. Boston eventually lost 13-11, and their 10-run lead was the largest squandered in club history. The Red Sox now stood 5½ games out of first place and "Morgan Magic" seemed nothing but a fond memory.
Wade Boggs led the team in hitting again and the third baseman became the first player in baseball history to record seven consecutive 200-hit seasons. His .330 average ranked third in the league but for the fifth year in a row Boggs led the league in on-base percentage. The main power sources on the club were Nick Esasky and Dwight Evans, who hit 30 and 20 home runs respectively, and each reached the 100-RBI plateau.
The Blue Jays won the division and the Red Sox finished in third place with an 83-79 record. The 1980s came to a conclusion and is the only decade in which neither the Yankees nor Red Sox won the World Series.
In 1989, a new premium seating area, the 600 Club, debuted at Fenway Park. The club, which was later renamed the .406 Club in honor of Ted Williams after his passing in 2002, was furnished with padded stadium club seats and enclosed in glass. A new press box was built on top of the 600 Club and the ramp leading to the former press box was closed off as part of construction. Near the closed off ramp, which remained as a dead ramp between Gate A and Gate D, an escalator was installed from Yawkey Way to the suite level and new 600 Club. In addition, a ramp at Gate D was constructed to replace the staircase that was built when the suites were installed in the early 1980s. Both these renovations improved access to the newly expanded upper levels of the Fenway Park.
On August 6, 1989, Carl Yastrzemski's #8 became the fourth Red Sox number to be officially retired at Fenway Park and was added to the façade of the right-field roof.

Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature (Paperback)
This profound and accessible book details how science is studying nature's best ideas to solve our toughest 21st-century problems.
If chaos theory transformed our view of the universe, biomimicry is transforming our life on Earth. Biomimicry is innovation inspired by nature – taking advantage of evolution's 3.8 billion years of R&D since the first bacteria. Biomimics study nature's best ideas: photosynthesis, brain power, and shells – and adapt them for human use. They are revolutionising how we invent, compute, heal ourselves, harness energy, repair the environment, and feed the world.
Science writer and lecturer Janine Benyus names and explains this phenomenon. She takes us into the lab and out in the field with cutting-edge researchers as they stir vats of proteins to unleash their computing power; analyse how electrons zipping around a leaf cell convert sunlight into fuel in trillionths of a second; discover miracle drugs by watching what chimps eat when they're sick; study the hardy prairie as a model for low-maintenance agriculture; and more.
About the Author
Janine M. Benyus is the author of four books in the life sciences, including Beastly Behaviors: A Watchers Guide to How Animals Act and Why. She is a graduate of Rutgers with degrees in forestry and writing and has lectured widely on science topics. She lives in Stevensville, Montana.
