Downtown Abbey: The Super Nintendo Edition
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C454Xye_W0] With the way events turn on Downton Abbey, you could even say that the show deserves a video game. Putting you in the perspective of a new footman at the luxurious estate, YouTuber Bill Kiley has decided to turn the show into a Super Nintendo game…with 16-bit music included! From fluffing pillows, finding cigars […]Posted on February 2, 2013 at 11:34 am

Edgar_in_Indy: This doesn't make sense to me. What is the purpose of the CC images, if not to use them? Of course it's going to cost money to make a print, and the bigger and fancier the print, the more it will cost.
As long as Flickr wasn't charging extra for a CC image, I don't see what the problem was. Now people just have less choices for their art.
If I'm a photographer who agreed to have my work on CC available for free use, then I would be flattered if people chose to pay to have it made into large wall-art.
(But I don't know much about Creative Commons, so if my understanding is flawed, I hope somebody will clarify it for me.)
There are many types of CC license agreement. Not all CC License gives any user the use the photo without restriction. CC only makes licensing easier, but one still needs to respect copyright!
nerd2: I've been using 'crop' bodies for almost a decade, but still I hate olympus and its delusional marketing strategy which plagues many people.
To be equivalent to FF counterparts, smaller format body/lens should be:
a) FASTER to achieve the same total light and same DOF.
b) SHARPER to achieve the same sharpness.
c) has the similar MP count.
For example, to compete with A7 plus 24-70 f4 lens, one needs a 24MP m43 body and 12-35 f2 lens that is TWICE sharper than 24-70 f4. Of course most lenses (even $100 kit lenses) are now very good and can be used for professional purpose, but that does not justify Oly to charge the same money for inferior lenses.
Olympus lenses are twice as sharp. Look at the Olympus's MTF chart, they're normalized using TWICE the resolution (20 lines and 60 lines, instead of Canikon's 10 lines and 30 lines). It is specifically stated by Olympus engineers that in order to be competitive (they're fully aware their sensors are smaller), they have made their lenses TWICE the resolution, which is how their 4/3 lenses are made, and why regular 4/3 lenses have the largest lens size per sensor size ratio (i.e., they built their lenses significantly larger than the minimum requirement to reduce vignette and to gather significantly more light). They go by the same Zeiss Otus philosophy of no compromise optics. Some SHG lenses (Super High Grade) are made to order, individually inspected, just like Leica lenses, not mass produced. This is why SHG 4/3 lenses are quite a bit more expensive than m4/3 lenses.
Please research before you complain....
gmke: The more I think about it, the more ridiculous the question becomes. Why buy an LX100 when you can have a GX7? An apple or orange, it rests on a questionable assumption, on purpose perhaps, that since the cameras are built around the same sensor, they are category siblings. They are not siblings. This one is a small lens story and the most appropriate question is, Why buy an RX100-iii when you can get an LX100? The paragraphs that come out of that question are far more interesting. The GX7 plays in the same league as the GH3 and OM-D cameras. The main difference is the location of the viewfinder. Take your pick. The styling matters not one bit. They ARE siblings. Take away the viewfinder and you get a tweener with an identity crisis.
Okay, this is too close to real life for comfort. ;) I thought this is supposed to be a lalaland for gearheads.
Just kidding of course....
samfan: Geez, what's your problem guys, so they asked a fashion designer to make a bag and put a white camera inside it. Big deal. It's just a white camera in a white bag. Something you can buy for your wife as a gift if you you know she doesn't appreciate the standard big black cameras. (And while I don't know SmC's work she's probably known enough that the bag itself would cost as much when bought separately.)
It's not like they had to pull firmware programmers or lens designers from their work on your dreamed out Canon MILC to make this.
If you cuts the popular mass with a truth that incises like a surgical scalpel, you would soon find yourself surrounded by them, and be whacked with their axe..., and a very dull one.
Jim Salvas: I've been using this for two days and it is a very well-designed app. It's responsive and everything works seamlessly.
I understand why Olympus has made this available only on the E-M1. The E-M1 is positioned as Olympus' professional-grade model and since tethered shooting appeals mostly to pros the app further helps differentiate this top of the line model.
O.I. Share App (for Android and iOS) can be used for all other newer cameras with WiFi built-in. It's just WiFi does not provide enough bandwidth for high-end tethering, so the cabled solution like this is better for the flagship model marketed as Pro camera. But non-pros can still do it with some basic functions (maybe not multiple flash control, but you can do that in-camera using LiveView).
Jon H Laake: Can the flash tilt for bouncing?
I doubt it. If it can bounce, it will be the most useless thing in the world.... Do you realize how much power the flash must have to be able to lit just a normal size room with 10 ft ceiling with bounce flash? Not from this flash!
This is more useful to me than a drone camera. I like the fact it tracks my position instead of me having to control just one more equipment. Always hate off-the-camera flash, because the need to carry one more tripod. (imagine this and do a 4-hour hiking). This should be interesting, if affordable then I might get one. Great new use of drone. Wish I could have thought of that.
citizenlouie: CC is fine for professionals who can expense their subscription fee. For vast majority of photographers who upgrade their cameras every two years, and Lightroom's current price at $80, the max a person would shell out for an annual subscription of CC is $40. For people like me who can only afford to upgrade the camera around 5 years, the CC is only valued at $16/year, not the $99/year Adobe is charging.
This means most people would either stop upgrading to newer cameras that Lightroom 5 can no longer support or stop using Lightroom all together. It looks like I would be using my current cameras until they break. This move would indirectly slow the camera sales by a bit, and probably start making people with new cameras more likely to accept out-of-camera JPEGs, instead of processing RAWs using a software.
My set up has been Olympus Viewer + LR, so I don't need to run the RAWs through one more software in the workflow. I've used DxO as part of the workflow, but I gave up on it since OV does everything better. What OV is lacking is cataloging and user-interface. That's where LR comes in. I select my photos using LR as loupe and then only if it requires extra process, I export them into OV, because OV loads photos slowly. I mostly use LR for cataloging reason (batch tag, add location info, etc., and exports output to website and local storage). I do like some parts of LR, that's why I can overlook its quirks (and LR has tons of weird bugs). It has value to me, but not $99/year is all I am saying. Especially I still have CS5 which I only use a fraction of its features. Choosing gears (and software is part of the gears) is a lot of compromise between requirements and budget. This isn't a fantasy talk where everyone always have the latest gears as if money isn't a consideration.

Lee Jay: "The large apparent size of a moon low on the horizon is partially an optical illusion."
Not partially.
"The longer lens you can get, the better. "
Filling the frame with the moon will require about 2500mm equivalent.
"With a big lens and a subject at such a distance even a small amount of motion results in an out of focus photo. "
Not "out of focus", motion blurred. They are different.
"The moon is very bright, even during an eclipse."
At totality, it will be very dark.
"...the moon is bright white"
The moon is a dark charcoal gray.
"Even a little bit of ground light can ruin a shot of the moon."
That's just total baloney. The moon (except during totality) is far, far brighter than the worst light pollution.
"Bring a flashlight with a red bulb or gel."
You don't need good dark-adaptation for the moon.
"Shoot with manual focus. The moon is tricky to focus on and it's best to rely on your eyes instead of the camera's autofocus."
That's almost total baloney too.
While most of your response is spot-on (the article is filled with incorrect information), but some of your info is wrong also. Like another person already pointed out to you, ground light WILL affect resolution of your photo due to stray light (that's why you need to use a lens hood).
And yes, use manual focus. AF will always off by a little bit, especially when the bright subject in a pitch dark environment like the moon will fool the AF very efficiently due to extremely high dynamic range.
General rule of thumb, be very prepared. Test the exposure before the actual event. Every camera will be a little different, so the only way for super accurate exposure is test it out. This is digital age, you can test shoot as many shots as you like without becoming expensive. The most expensive shot is the one that's incorrectly exposed when the time comes. Keep in mind, this is lunar eclipse..., so the final exposure will be different from the test shots, so use your judgement.
Smart social satire. :)
Lots of people missed the point. This isn't just about cloning-in/out issue. This is about "trust" issue. If the photographer had submitted the unaltered photo, and then asked if photoshopping, in this very instance, was appropriate, then proceeded with proper guideline, then he wouldn't be fired. This is all about trust. How can anyone trust the integrity of his photos again?
Quote from the review:
"This means that you can't both get the corners and centre of the frame at the same time, and in turn explains the striking drop-off in sharpness of the test data towards the corners - in effect they're slightly out of focus."
This is a classical design philosophy for "film" camera lenses. Since photographic film is not flat like sensor, so by designing it this way, the corner would be sharp. DPR's test photos also back this assumption up. Corners are soft because they're out of focus. This is why a "brick wall" type of test shots are important (and make sure focal plane is parallel to the subject plane) for testing big aperture lens.
That's why "all digital" design philosophy of Olympus's 4/3 DSLR lenses (not m4/3) uses expensive telecentric design. Alternative strategy is, change the layout of the the sensor, so it's "bend" like a film, which what Fuji uses.
LarryLatchkey: Wow, a lot of luminance noise at higher iso (studio scene)! really grainy… but that way it seems to keep considerably more low contrast details than competitors, even entry-level D-SLRs.
Olympus will be forced to lower the price of its M4/3 cameras soon, because this one comes with a nicer kit lens & (to my taste) better IQ at exactly half the price of an E-M5 or an E-P5! Even the E-PL5 is more expensive.
Plus, I actually find the A1 feels more comfortable in your hand than the Olympuses. (is that the correct plural of Olympus? ^^ )
The correct sentence should be:
Plus I actually find the A1 fells more comfortable in your hand than the Olympus'. (notice the apostrophe at the end)
Because it IS used as a possessive. It's a contraction of "Olympus's cameras" like harrisoncac suggested. You know, the OP could avoid the confusing sentence structure by complete the entire sentence, which should be:
Plus, I actually find the A1 feels more comfortable in your hand than Olympus' cameras (notice "the" is omitted if the entire sentence is spelled out).
What is being compared as more comfortable? (Fuji) A1 vs Olympus's cameras OR A1 (camera model) vs Olympus (the brand). Be careful with subject parallel agreement....
madeinlisboa: I'm gonna photograph cat poop with different shapes and textures in different environments and perspectives and get famous. The sky is the limit!
(agrees with BartyLobethal with some ambivalent and conflicting feeling)
Well, yeah, I suppose most of us will be destined for obscurity.... And I do agree with your argument. Art is a creative field, and people like madeinlisboa will never get a work like this. And yes, a cat poop can be art and if he has some talent to execute it nicely. It's not the subject that makes the art, but the vision behind it. A lot of people don't seem to understand this. Not all subjects are tangible things. Some are "conceptual." I am not the artist of this work, so I will refrain from misinterpret it, but I'm going to say, this photo features a dress, but the subject is not about the dress, but the story behind the dress. She said it's personal to her, so it's a visual analogy to her own journey. Dress is what you see, so that's why most people are mistaking the physical thing itself as the subject.
Now I am back to dedicate my life working at conventional art. Obscurity here I come...
PeterAustin: Was Gaylord entitled to the sole copyright? Things to consider are: The basic design to the memorial was given to Gaylord, and so was the concept for a Korean War memorial (the court found that this context was significant in denying fair use, but that context was given to Gaylord). Also, others were involved in creating the memorial. If Gaylord creation is seen as a contribution to collective work, is it work for hire? Lastly, as a photographer, I disagree that the snow on the statues is solely "Nature's decision" and its depiction not a transformative act by the photographer. I disagree with this notion. There is no question that the choice of snow cover and lighting was a deliberate artistic decision by the photographer, involving a fair amount of creative effort. The court ruled that the creative component of the image was an act of God and not of the human mind. The ruling states first that Alli's copyright as a derivative work is not questioned, only to deny it later.
@ UnderDriven
Ali has no part in this case other than being a witness. When the PO bought the photo, it's PO's responsibility to check for possible copyright issue before it bought it. After the PO bought it, PO is responsible for the liability for publishing it. Ali is not responsible for the punitive damage unless he also sold the arts on his own behalf.
Actually a professional is more likely to be sued than an amateur. Because it's indefensible if you're a pro, as you should know better this is clearly a copyrighted infringement when you did it.
The case PO should use to defend itself is, PO is part of the government, and if Korean War Memorial was paid for by the government as a public art to honor war heroes, then how can the owner (the government) not own the right to its own asset?
Well deserved 1st place. :)
yabokkie: it looks that there were two competing teams and one team won.
it's interesting that DPReview call Sony "big brand."
I call them third class:
1c, need no words, Canon and Nikon,
2c, make products proudly in own brand, Pentax, Oly,
3c, make products in someone else's brand (not OEM), Sony, Pana,
no confidence in their own products.
I shall declare yabokkie the silliest person on DPR Forums with this post....
Though my optical design knowledge is rudimentary, but looking at the two designs above, they would have different light collecting properties.
The middle element in the Sigma design is thicker. Unless Sigma decided to use ED or Super ED glass, the refraction of that lens will be significantly larger, and light traveling pattern after that would be different. The front element of Sigma's is over-engineered compared with m.Zuiko's. Don't know how much those etches around the edge of m.Zuiko lenses would affect the optical quality.
So yes, different proportion of element's size and glass used will change the final IQ. They're still of the similar design, but IQs would be different. And production costs would be very different due to whether ED elements are used or not (and Olympus's production technology is higher than Sigmas's).
citizenlouie: Most lenses are based on Zeiss formulas, so it's not surprising many lenses designs are similar (but not identical, because that would patent fringing). This is especially true for telephoto lenses (not super telephoto) where elements are smaller in number.
Actually that's not true, dbateman.... I remember reading a little history about that. Nikon became a well-known brand in the U.S. because many soldiers brought back Nikon products from WWII. The story was about a soldier first discovered Nikon because he went on board of a Japanese submarine and noticed how bright the scope for looking at the surface (whatever that is called) is. And it was designed by Nihon Kogaku (now Nikon). I am pretty sure they designed the lens before Japan surrendered.
Same for Olympus. From OM Lens manual, Olympus said many of their 35mm ambitions were destroyed during the war, so they had to restart 35mm camera designs from ground up. But before that, they had a lot of good blue prints already.
@Marty Because many people dwell on their laurels. So a little hardship is actually good motivation for innovations. Once a person thinks he's the king of the hill, he has no motivation to become better. Romans fell the same way.

That Caesars work is known universally, and Scipio little more than a name to the ordinary educated man, is a curious standard, for one inaugurated the world dominion of Roman civilization, while the other paved the way for its decay
This is one of the many other statements in Liddell Harts biography of Scipio Africanus titled Scipio Africanus: Greater Than Napoleon that completely betrays it as a shameless aggrandizement of the man. Similar to this we see other exaggerated statements proposing the idea that somehow the empire might have survived longer had it followed an ideology of Scipios that is based entirely on the assumption of the author. Here Hart feels himself free to take any small comment of Scipios and to glorify it, giving it some prophetic meaning. These are taken from speeches which often actually come from the mouths of the famous Roman historian Livy, writing nearly two hundred years later. He finds himself almost unable to accept any negative aspect of this character, which while reading I almost found myself unable to call human.
A decorated and knighted captain and author, to those learned in military strategy Liddell Hart has been seen by many as one of the first to lay forward the theory later termed the Blitzkrieg. Writing during the twenties Liddell became a big advocate of mobility and speed in the art of warfare after seeing the disastrous effects of trench warfare during the First World War. Scipio Africanus is one of the biographies written by Hart to illustrate and recognize those he thought influential to his ideas.
With this in mind we now move to the actual book. Greater then Napoleon can be considered the first book to delve into the military career of Africanus and this is rather easy to see when one reads the book. At times it will feel like a recital of the two main references on Scipios career, Livy and Polybius. Its brevity, while largely due to the short career of Scipio (a man who died at the age of 54 and peaked at 35), also reveals the weak amount of study available. There are no references in the book outside of the first hand sources that are provided in the edition containing Michael Grants forward. In the preface Hart tells us that the only other biography of the man, in English, was one written by a priest, completely ignoring his military exploits.
Through this book Hart puts forward his theories on warfare, often times placing them wrongly and without any kind of precedent, into the mind of Scipio. It is a way for him to prove their superiority by linking them to Scipios successes. Throughout the book he will constantly relate the generals various actions and attribute them in a tactical way of thinking that has little historical credibility. Whether its a peace treaty or some political move, Hart will praise it using a state or mind and mentality, which he seems to personally harbor.
Yet another fault of the book is the sycophantic mentality, which Hart holds for Scipio. He seems utterly unable to ever give any kind of criticism towards the man, whether it is that Scipio simply will forgo a call to trial or an emotional outburst. This is done to such an extent that it even overshadows Theodore Ayrault Dodges shameless hero worship of Hannibal in his own book. The praises reach an unbelievable peak which propose the idea that somehow, had Rome followed an international policy which Scipio, he believes, carried it could have somehow defeated the barbarian invasions and held off the Dark Ages. This is something which occurred 600 years after the events at hand and which proposes an international policy which there is no evidence of Scipio holding. It is by far one of the weakest aspects of this book.
Yet another problem is that Hart has a nasty habit of taking words completely out of the mouths of the two main historical accounts of the war, Livy and Polybius. The book is filled with their quotations and more often than not Hart will take many of their speeches that they wrote for Scipios mouth completely at face value. Other times he will recite a major passage from their books making you think youre reading some comparative study rather then a biography. Add this failure to the general brevity of the book, lacking as it does any real contemporary study.
However, there are positives. Being a military man himself he is best at what he excels in. If you can put aside his glorification of Scipio you will find his overall military review is actually quite adequate. Overall his degradation of other, more renown, generals can be dismissed as simply a way for Hart to bring more attention to Scipio, but it will be up to the reader himself to take what he reads at face value or to do further inquiry on the subject and make a decision thereafter.
Unfortunately even today, books on Scipio Africanus are few and far between in a world crammed with those men who changed the world in far more controversial ways. This remains one of the most widespread studies on the man, something, which is indeed, a sad fact considering it lacks much in terms of a proper critical study. However it is still a fun book to read and one that will take very little time out of ones hand. Those with little knowledge of Scipios deeds will be very much entertained by this book, others who have gone through various other books on the Punic Wars will find that this book leaves much to be desired.

Stash RX: Bold Fears
When we first selected the fabrics for the Bold Fears ailment, we had included these four fabrics. After all, they shared similar hues–the oranges or pinks and greens. As Weeks Ringle and I selected fabrics, we found that some of the original choices stood out. Here's why we chose to remove them from the assortment.
- Daisy print, top left: While this print contained the pink and orange found in some of the others, the ground was white and the print was sparse, so the print didn't work with the others that contained little to no white. Also, due to the amount of white, the print read as high contrast, since there were navy blue accents in the fabric, so this higher contrast print was contrary to the lower contrast prints in the assortment. (For more on using fabrics with a white base, see the White Plight ailment on page 26 of the June 2015 issue.)
- Black floral, top right: Again, while this print had colors in common with the other prints, the black ground and white accents makes this print higher contrast. Also, it is a highly saturated print, unlike any of the other prints. When viewed with the others, it stands out and becomes a focus, so it was removed.
- Soft floral, bottom right: This soft floral is much less saturated than the other prints in the assortment. In addition, it features primarily lavender and yellow hues rather than the oranges and pinks that are more visible in the others.
- Aqua and white stripe, bottom left: While the hues were on target with many others in the stash starting point, the bold white stripes, the heavily saturated print, and the high contrast of the fabric make this a less pleasing option for this palette.

Jill's Quiltalong
It was love at first sight when I had my first peek at Lissa Alexander's Rainbow Rows. Four-Patch blocks? Yes! Sign me up. The first step was narrowing down the color palette. I pulled out my huge stash of polka dot 2-1/2″-wide strips. The brights spoke to me…especially the red, orange, pink, and occasional purple dotted fabrics. I'll combine these cheerful dots of all sizes with white-on-whites.
I like to sew together oversized pieces and trim them down to make uniform units. That's the beauty of using the (already cut) 2-1/2″ strips. I sewed each dot strip together with a white-on-white strip, and cut the resulting strips into segments. I joined segments in a very random fashion to make oversized Four-Patch units. Yes, this method means a lot of trimming to size. But, the big payoff is that any irregularities in seams won't show. Every single Four-Patch unit will be exactly the right size.
There's another bonus of using 2-1/2″-wide strips. When I crosscut the strips, they are perfect 2-1/2″ squares, just the size needed for the alternating squares in each block.
On the design wall you get an idea of how the blocks will look. Next step, I'll start sewing the blocks. Any guesses on the finished size of this project?
Something else I love about this project is that the units are simple enough that I can sew a few strips together in between other tasks. Sewing strips together is a great way to make use of "leader strips." If the machine balks when I'm sewing the strips, I can just trim that part off, using the remainder to make segments for Four-Patch units.

Linda's Quiltalong
The APQ Quiltalong can be stressful… not exactly the quiltalong itself, but choosing which quilt!! First, how do you choose with three fabulous options?! But for the sake of my sanity, I decided to pick one (and not all three) and make some progress on that one in the two months of the official Quiltalong blog hop (though you can join the #APQQuiltalong anytime). I chose April Rosenthal's Buried Treasure quilt, which I love for its colorful and high-contrast design.
One gray and bone-chilling day, my cousin Kathy and I stopped by a local quilt shop and I found this taupe-color print (official name Nickel Straw Flower from One for You, One for Me by Pat Sloan for Moda Fabrics). I loved the taupe dotted background and the graceful petals of the flowers, but I was entranced by the shades of red, orange, and yellow in the centers! They instantly made me think of summer, sunshine, and the warmer days ahead (WAY ahead)! Within the span of 15 minutes, I'd gathered 16 yellow, orange, and red fat quarters—batiks and prints—and was ready to get started. Even as I picked the colors and fabrics out, I was thinking, "This quilt is going to match nothing in my house, but I. Just. Don't. Care!"
When it was time to start cutting and piecing, I read over the instructions (which I'd edited once before) and, me being me, I decided I would put it together a little differently. I prefer working with strip sets whenever possible, so I cut 2-1/2″ strips across the fat quarters, cut the strips in half so they were 10-1/2″ long, tossed them in a container, and sewed the strips together in pairs randomly. My only rule was that the strips couldn't be the same, otherwise, I used what I grabbed.
I cut each strip set into pairs, then again, tossed the pairs in a container, and sewed together the pairs mostly randomly but making sure all four fabrics were different. You can see all of my little pairs pinned together, ready to sew! (Doesn't that look organized? Don't be deceived by those little piles; I'm more type B than A!) Once all the sets were sewn, I had one long string of pieced units—like a big pile of fabric spaghetti!
I did cut individual squares for the Floating Star unit and here you can see them stacked by color, marked and ready to sew! (OK, maybe a little type A.) I was less random in my selection of these squares, as I didn't have a lot of extra squares cut, so I didn't want to get to the point of being down to the last block and having two squares left of the same color! And I didn't, but for those last few squares, I had to do a little shuffling.
I was so excited when I finished the two stacks of units—they looked so cheery in their container that I had to snap a pic! I spent part of a weekend on this quilt and got all of the block units together, as it goes together quickly (and would be equally quick if you were working with squares instead of strips).
Now I'm playing with the arrangement. You can see I arranged one quarter of the quilt on the design wall. I love April's original arrangement for Buried Treasure, but I want to play a little more with the blocks before I sew them together.
So I want to say a big THANK YOU to April Rosenthal of Prairie Grass Patterns for designing such a great quilt (and for loving the color orange—talk about serendipity!). Lest you think I'm not equally enamored with the other two Go Four It! quilts, Lissa Alexander's Rainbow Rows quilt is on my list as a future project (maybe in the fall and winter when I need something to combat the winter grays). I'm a little intimidated by Edyta Sitar's super-small, super scrappy Scraptacular quilt, but maybe that can be a 2016 challenge project for me! Meanwhile, I love seeing everyone's versions and adaptations of all three quilts in the #APQQuiltalong. And it's not to late to join the fun! Pick your favorite and start cutting!
Happy Quilting!

"I know what it is like to lose your liberty, to lose control, to have to submit to the will of your captors," says journalist Yvonne Ridley about her experience as a captive of the Taliban in Afghanistan.
Catalysed by this experience, Yvonne joins forces with filmmaker David Miller to make a documentary about the detention of 'enemy combatants' in the most notorious prison in the world, Guantanamo Bay. A self-proclaimed 'fierce critic of America's War on Terror', Yvonne is astonished when her request is granted and the Pentagon allows her exclusive access to the compound.Guantanamo Bay was opened in Cuba in 2002 by the US Military shortly after America's invasion of Afghanistan. Yvonne explains Guantanamo was "designed by the Bush administration and is symbolic of the Bush presidency." George W. Bush describes his global assault on terror: "they must be found, they will be stopped and they will be punished."On arrival it is revealed that any ideas they had "about hard edge journalism or creative film making were looking increasingly ambitious" as they are watched over by a team of minders, given instructions about what they can and can't film and are informed that their footage will eventually be censored.The documentary interviews former inmates who give detailed accounts of the treatment they faced in the hands of the US Military. Ex-detainee Moazzam Begg and explains how he spent almost 2 years in solitary confinement in Guantanamo. He says "it's effects can actually, literally, send someone crazy."In London demonstration is held for Binyam Mohamed, an Ethiopian refugee previously living in London who has endured 6 years of detention at Guantanamo, to draw attention to the fact he was tortured into making a false confession of crimes he did not commit. Yvonne reports that "when the film was made only one man had been convicted of any offence - Osama Bin Laden's driver."US President Barack Obama has signed an order to suspend its proceedings, but the detention camp still remains open. The extent of the West's reputation in the Islamic world is hard to judge, and Yvonne poses the question 'will the Muslim world ever trust America again?'

The intense debate over fluoridated water has resulted in a stunning amount of campaign spending, but one Juneau Assembly race has triggered some serious fundraising as well.
Sound off on the important issues at
Fluoride backers, funded by dental groups, have so far spent more than $150,000 backing a measure to restore fluoridation.
"Holy cow, that's more than a decade worth of Assembly races," said local political observer and former mayoral candidate Brad Fluetsch.
The campaign spending amounts were in the final disclosure statements filed with the Alaska Public Offices Commission seven days before the election.
With the American Dental Association picking up most of the tab, Citizens Promoting Dental Health has bought television ad time in $50,000 blocks, along with paying $35,000 in TV and radio production costs and $13,500 for dental association survey research.
Citizens Promoting Dental Health also received a $5,000 contribution from the Alaska Dental Society.

Note: Some incumbents started with beginning balances. Figures are as of Sept. 22
"Holy Smokes, I had no idea," said David Ottoson, a Juneau natural foods grocer who opposes water fluoridation, when he heard about his opponent's campaign amounts.
Ottoson called the spending an "outrageous attempt to buy an election."
"No, we are not trying to buy an election, but information is power," said Dr. Carolyn Brown, chairwoman of Citizens Promoting Dental Health.
Still, Ottoson said he didn't think it would work.
"I still think they're going to lose," he said.
Brown said she wasn't worried about the fairness of the spending gap either.
"They would have done it, and we did it," she said.
Citizens for Safe Water, a group opposing fluoridation, has raised a little more than $5,000. It sought to maximize free media with letters to the editor and newspaper and radio appearances.
Citizens for Safe Water paid $678 in travel expenses to bring fluoride opponent Hardy Limeback to speak in Juneau, where his talk was covered on radio and in print.
Juneau Assembly races, though dwarfed by the fluoride issue, showed at least one tightening up.
Challenger Marshal Kendziorek, who raised $20,547, has still spent more than incumbent Johan Dybdahl, who raised $11,050, in the race for the Juneau-wide seat, but each has at least $7,000 to spend going into the last days of the campaign.
The third candidate in that race, Iskandar Alexandar, has filed as exempt, indicating that he'll raise and spend less than $500 in the race.
The other two seats are less competitive. Incumbent Randy Wanamaker is seeking re-election to a District 2 seat, and has more than $3,000 cash on hand. Challenger Dixie Hood is exempt.
District 1 candidate Jeff Bush, an incumbent, is unopposed. He's filed exempt as well.
The groups supporting a Mendenhall Valley pool and athletic fields have raised comparatively less money, but have no organized opposition.
Juneau for the Pool and Safe Athletic Fields for Everyone have each raised and spent about $4,000.

We wrote about Intel's star strategy and new logos a while ago and now, since it's official, we can see them in action.
Intel delivers a logo of Celeron mobile and it clearly tells its customers that this is a one out of five star product. According to Intel's rating this is the worse you can buy and this was featured in latest media markt Austria catalogue that goes after mainstream buyers.
The second in Intel's list Pentium T3xxx, T2xxx and SU27xx+ and they deserve two stars, at least in notebook market.
Intel Centrino T6xxx, T5xxx and SU3xxx will deserver three stars and so is Intel Core 2 duo T6xxx and T5xxx. If you want four star notebook you will have to buy Intel Centrino 2 or Core 2 T8xxx, T7xxx or P8xxx and P7xxx.
Finally five star notebooks will feature Centrino 2, Core 2 Extreme, Core 2 Quad or Core 2 Duo CPUs and it will have to be T9xxx, P9xxx, SP9xxx, SP9xxx, SL9xxx or SU9xxx for duals or QX9xxx, X9xxx, X7xxx, Q9200 and Q9100 for Core 2 Extreme and quads.
If you were not confused by Intel codenames and notebook names, you will certainly be with Intel ratings but at least one thing is clear, the higher the number, the better the CPU is.

With the inclement weather accompanying waning summer months, environmental issues seem at the forefront of everyone's minds. But the National Medical Association Annual Convention and Scientific Assembly (NMA) reminded our city's residents there are long-term measures that can help ensure their and their families' well-being.
For a variety of genetic and environmental reasons, many of which medical research continues to reveal, several diseases and medical conditions (including sickle cell anemia, diabetes, uterine fibroids and hypertension) are highly prevalent among African-Americans. According to Dr. Kerry Sterling, a family practitioner with Ochsner West Bank, family history can be a significant indicator of a person's proclivity toward many of these diseases.
"If someone in your family has been diagnosed, then it's time to see a primary care physician yourself, to assess your risk," Sterling says.
Diet also plays a big role in prevention and treatment, which can prove particularly problematic in the South, where "food is essential to who we are," Sterling says. Excessive weight gain and an unhealthy diet can result in Type 2 diabetes, to which African-Americans are more prone than Caucasians, and foods high in sodium can aggravate hypertension, Sterling says. Signs of diabetes include being thirsty all the time, a voracious appetite and weight fluctuations, while hypertension results in headaches and sweating.
New research and information can go a long way toward prevention: Sterling cites a new study showing people of African-American descent who have suffered a hemorrhatic stroke are significantly more likely to experience high blood pressure a year afterward, which increases the risk of another stroke. Awareness of this likelihood and other predispositions can help patients take extra measures to ensure good health. For diagnoses of diabetes and hypertension, Sterling recommends monitoring diet, first and foremost.
"Watching food portions is important," he says. "If you go out, share a meal with your sweetheart, or eat half and save the rest for tomorrow's lunch." Thirty minutes of aerobic exercise (aerobic meaning that "you're breaking a sweat") five times a week is his recommended exercise plan. "People ask me, 'Where do you find the extra 30 minutes?'" Sterling says. "Cut off 30 minutes of television, put your kids in the stroller, or take your pets for a walk. It doesn't have to be expensive — you have two feet."
New Orleans hosted the NMA's 109th annual convention, which wrapped up Aug. 1 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center. The NMA is the nation's oldest and largest organization catering to the needs of black doctors across the country. "Since its inception in 1895, the NMA has been dedicated to eliminating health disparities and improving the quality of health among minorities and disadvantaged people," says Joan Oguntimein of the NMA's publication department. A key facet of the organization's mission is promoting awareness of medical conditions unique to or particularly prevalent among African-American communities.
The NMA sponsored events, panels, lectures and discussions. Along with general events, physicians and healthcare professionals attended courses targeting 24 specialties, including obstetrics and gynecology, ophthalmology, anesthesiology, emergency medicine, neurology and family medicine. It also was an opportunity for further accreditation in areas like pain management, medical ethics and HIV/AIDs treatment.
"It's a chance for important, timely updates," says Dr. S. Gail Martin, a doctor of Family Medicine with a practice in Madison, Miss. "We're bridging gaps in African-American health care, and to implement change, there's a real need for these updates."
The NMA convention also afforded its members opportunities to connect with each other. Many medical schools held alumni dinners where former classmates had a chance to catch up, compare schedules and share information. Elliott and Martin attended Xavier University and Meharry Medical College, respectively. Both agree that a highlight of the convention was the warm reception they received from their alma maters. "It was great to learn the progress and research that Xavier has made in these different fields," Elliott says. "I'm so proud of them."
The NMA also is one of the few national associations that convenes for more than a day or an afternoon, Martin points out. This creates opportunities for productive relationships and a real absorption of knowledge.
"This is a place where you can actually go in and get research done with all of these great minds in there," she says.

Document / Publication
Aon Benfield UCL Hazard Research Centre, the (ABUHRC)
Nearly twenty years ago, researchers at Macquarie University began compiling databases on natural hazards and their impacts in Australia. Tropical cyclones and floods together account for more than 70% of known natural hazard deaths since the European colonisation of Australia in 1788. Thunderstorms, particularly lightning, and bushfires each account for 11 to 13% of deaths, indicating that the other hazards considered have produced very few human deaths, at least in the last 200 years. Despite the wealth of data, deciding which part of Australia is the most hazardous is not as simple as it sounds. Similarly, determining which hazard will be the most important in the next few decades is equally difficult.

Prior to joining The Washington Institute, he was a senior research professor at the National Defense University's Institute for National Strategic Studies, a senior economist at the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, and a research scholar at the Foreign Policy Research Institute.
Clawson has promoted regime change in Iran in congressional testimony. In a statement delivered during a 2006 Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Clawson argued, "So long as Iran has an Islamic Republic, it will have a nuclear weapons program, at least clandestinely. The key issue therefore is: How long will the present Iranian regime last?"[6]

A rival that Apple won't be too happy about is LG, who have just announced their new LG Spectrum, as you can probably tell from the name, the main feature of this phone is its screen, with a huge 4.5inch IPS LCD screen, which rivals the iPhone for clarity.
So far though the device will only be launched in the US Verizon LTE network, but here's hoping it turns up in the UK someday, with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor as well as Android 2.3 and an 8MP camera with 1080p recording, this is one phone to look out for.
According to LG when you unwrap your new phone for the first time you will see it is already pre-loaded with ESPN Score Center, which will allow you to watch the games highlights in full HD, The Spectrum is set for a January 19th release date, costing $199.99 at various Verizon stores with a two-year contract.

In a sign that China's red-hot economy is cooling down, for the first time in three years Beijing took the brakes off. China's central bank cut the required reserve ratio for the country's banks, in an action taken Wednesday that was designed to ease credit and boost economic activity.
Reuters reported that the RRR was cut by 50 basis points, from a record high of 21.5% to 21.0%. Previously the RRR had been increased by 25 basis points at a time as China sought to curb the possibility of a hard landing. According to the central bank's website, the move is to take effect on Dec. 5. It is hoped that the drop in RRR will open up lending to small companies that have been feeling the pinch as banks held onto cash reserves rather than make loans.
Shi Chenyu, economist with the investment banking unit of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, said in the report, "It's a surprising move—the market was not expecting the central bank to [cut RRR] so fast. The move sends a clear message that the central bank is ready to relax its policy stance."
Markets reacted positively to the news, which was such a surprise that on Tuesday Chinese stocks had suffered their worst one-day loss since August due to the belief that the bank would not take such an action. European markets rose after the news as well, reversing some earlier losses, with the news at least partially compensating for downgrades in big banks' credit ratings announced by Standard & Poor's on Tuesday and general debt crisis woes throughout the eurozone.

What's worse is former romance author and current thriller scribe Tess Gerritsen jumped into the mess, taking the side of the naughty harassing author. She got herself into a whole lot of trouble because of her support for the bully writer.

The Simple and Underrated Art of Washing Your Hands
Handwashing, seriously? Yep, handwashing. Seriously. (Well, mostly seriously.) Here's how to do it and why it's so important to do.
Out, Out Damn UTI!
Could not cleaning myself a certain way after sex be causing my frequent urinary tract infections? What is the proper way to clean myself after sex (we use condoms and KY)?...
Out, out damn smell!
I am 23 years old and I am extremely self conscious about vaginal odor. I don't like my boyfriend to perform oral sex because I am so worried that I smell bad. I scrub and scrub my genitals in the shower but an hour later the smell is back. When I asked my OB/GYN about it he said that he would check me for STD's but never explained anything to me....
Vaginal smell = infection?
I've read your article on vaginal secretion several times but I'm still confused. All of my symptoms of my discharge point to normal except the smell. I have to constantly spray perfume (not down there) on myself because I'm afraid that everyone around me has to deal with this very strong smell, almost like urine. I'm not sure what to do....

Inspector General Ellen Biben and Tompkins County District Attorney Gwen Wilkinson announced the arrest today of one former and three current youth developmental aides at the MacCormick Secure Center in Brooktondale for allegedly smuggling in cell phones to youth being detained there.
Another person, a detainee at the facility, was also arrested. The five were charged with illegal promotion of dangerous contraband, a felony. Officials said more arrested are expected, and investigators with the Inspector General's Office were interviewing staff members today.
The youth developmental aides, who supervise the detainees at the facility, were allegedly bringing in cell phones to let the detainees use them—a violation of state law.
Cell phones are prohibited in prisons and secure detention centers. MacCormick is one of three secure detention centers in New York and mainly houses teenagers who have been convicted in criminal courts of violent felonies. The facilities are operated by the state Office of Children and Family Services.
"Putting cell phones into the wrong hands can lead to extremely dangerous consequences," Biben said in a statement obtained by Gannett's Albany Bureau. "The state employees arrested today are accused of jeopardizing the security of the detention facilities that they were supposed to be protecting. Such misconduct – particularly when it implicates public safety – will not be tolerated."
The aides were each charged with promoting prison contraband in the first degree, a felony punishable by up to seven years in prison. Those arrested and charged today were:
• David Brown, 47, of Weedsport. He worked for the state for about a year in 2000 and 2001 and then returned in July 2008. His
most recent annual salary was $47,248.
• Khrista Calcagno, 31, of Auburn. She entered State service in October 2010 and resigned in April at a salary of $43,270.
• Patrick Clearwater, 27, of Elmira. He began State service in May 2007. His most recent salary was $48,575.
• Frank J. Kennedy, 53, of Cortland. He started working for the state in October 2009 but also has previous State service. His most recent salary
was $54,056.
– Julian Blazer, 18, a detainee at MacCormick.
The four current and former employees were arraigned in Town of Caroline Court today and released on their own recognizance. Blazer was initially charged Oct. 26 and is being held in the Tompkins County Jail.
