A Moral Question...
This is an imaginary
situation, but I think it is fun to decide what you would do...
The situation: You are in the Midwest, and there is a huge flood in progress.
Many homes have been lost, water supplies compromised, and infrastructure destroyed.
Let's say you're a photographer out getting still photos for a news service, traveling alone, looking for particularly poignant scenes.
If you were to stumble across Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barak Obama and Joe Biden struggling to keep from being swept away in a raging river and you had a choice of rescuing them or getting a Pulitzer prize-winning photograph of the death of Socialism.
What shutter speed would you use?

Telephone Fun Facts...
You may not know it, but we are likely to be converting to four-digit area codes in the next 10 years as more people need more numbers. It will start when 10-digit dialing is made mandatory all over. Then you’ll see a 0 or 1 added to your existing area code.
We all know that 411 is for directory assistance, and that 911 is for emergencies. But the other “11″ numbers also have specific uses (although not every place uses them):
When area codes were first instituted in 1951 (when everyone had rotary phones), the biggest-population areas had area codes with the smallest number — the easy-to-dial ones. New York was 212, LA was 213, and Chicago was 312.
