There are few things I enjoy as much as successfully capturing an interesting moment in time when not a single subject cares or is even aware of me.
Sometimes it's because I have spent enough time with someone that my presence is no longer interesting. I sometimes pull off some random ninja trickery.
Or sometimes I'm just really far away.
This outtake is from a mad scramble for a pass thrown out of bounds at a Fever game back in May.
It's a far cry from Ron Jenkins' shot, "Bat Out of Hell," but it still makes me smile.

Fast Focus: Technology tradeoffs
Fast Focus: Technology tradeoffs
I have thought for sometime that our oversized government should get out the mail delivery business. The internet, fax, iPhones, iPads and other electronic devices have changed the way we communicate. UPS and FedX along with other private business concerns can deliver parcels much better than the U.S. Postal Service can.

Fast focus: It's all lies
Fast focus: It's all lies
Political polls tell us who is the best liar, who can find the most dirt on their opponent and who might have the most money to convince the public that they are the best. Sometimes the best come in second and the country suffers from it. It happened in 2008 and again in 2010. What we need is a two-term limit. They won't have time (maybe) to get so corrupt.

I was interested that Jim Michaud (Letters, Nov. 14), having read one British newspaper article, felt qualified to critique the U.K.'s National Health System. As someone with experience in both the U.S. and U.K. health systems, I probably have a more informed view on the subject.
Both systems have major shortcomings and can be wasteful -- the U.S. through insurance company bureaucracy, while Britain's NHS, as Mr. Michaud reports, has its own internal bureaucracy. In simple terms, in the U.S., someone with a good job and company health insurance will fare hugely better than those without, while in the U.K., all patients are generally treated equally and will receive treatment that is sometimes excellent and sometimes may entail long waiting lists and real hardship. Private insurance is, however, also available in the U.K. to those willing to pay.
For an alternative, and presumably neutral opinion on the subject, the World Health Organization ranking for the health systems of various countries, rates France
Catholic objection
Catholic objection
The article about Catholic hospitals' objections to providing contraceptives for their employees presented only a small part of the issue. Much more is involved in the objection of these hospitals to this mandate.
The "contraceptive coverage" includes Ella and Plan B pills which sometimes act as early abortifacients, resulting in the destruction of lives of the unborn. Those drugs really make a mockery of the word contraceptive when a fertilized egg is destroyed. The hospitals rightfully object to providing coverage for a drug which clearly violates the consciences of millions of citizens.
