Nice thing about Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges in NYC is that
they can (and have been) sold many times to many different people.
Even though I no longer live in NYC, I can sell them to you too! :-)

Caveat: I suspect, no bungy jumping is allowed there.

Finding nutters on the internet isn't too terribly hard. 

I've got to the point where, if I want to show someone a website that
supports all my reasonable, well-argued, sensible and just plain right
opinions, I always have a look at some of the other pages just to make sure
I'm not unwittingly associating myself with some barking mad fascist or

Today's news:

Breaking News
SEN. BIDEN PRODUCING DANGEROUSLY HIGH LEVELS OF CARBON DIOXIDE
Talkative Lawmaker Creating Environmental Threat, Scientists Fear

Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del.), who has dominated this week's  
confirmation hearings of Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito with his  
seemingly nonstop talking, is producing dangerously high level of  
carbon dioxide that could pose a serious environmental threat,  
leading scientists said today.


While many observers have found Sen. Biden's interminable orating  
tedious and wearisome, few suspected that the lawmaker was producing  
gases that could threaten the ecological balance of the planet.


But at a conference in Oslo, Norway devoted to the environmental  
challenges posed by Sen. Biden's endless nattering, scientists today  
said that the Delaware Democrat was producing levels of carbon  
dioxide that could prove harmful to many of the earth's species.


"Carbon dioxide is a necessary part of the photosynthetic process  
that allows plants to grow," said the University of Tokyo's Dr.  
Hiroshi Kyosuke. "But the massive amounts of carbon dioxide produced  
by Joe Biden could prove to be too much for even the hardiest  
vegetation to process."


Dr. Kyosuke and his colleagues were mulling a number of proposals for  
reining in the ecological threat posed by Sen. Biden, including  
urging the Environment Protection Agency to issue tougher emission  
standards for U.S. Senators.


The scientist said his peers were also "deeply concerned" about a  
possible environmental threat posed by Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass):  
"There is a serious possibility that Sen. Kennedy's head will block  
out the sun and cause all life on Earth to wither and die."


Elsewhere, at a press conference in Switzerland today, skiing  
champion Bode Miller made an impassioned plea for drunk skiing to be  
recognized as an official Olympic event.

It's obviously far more than that. The sharpening and contrast increase 
are far more exaggerated in the area of the eyes, and the pupils appear 
to have been  made smaller. Look at the difference in the white level 
in the eyes between the two photos. Then look at the skin tones. The 
contrast difference is far greater in the eyes than it is in the flesh 
tones, where there appears to be very minimal change.

I'm sure the AP wants to disassociate themselves from this mess as quickly and 
fully as possible.

Collegial hedging?

I agree. I have no reservations about doing everything I can to make a 
fine art or "entertainment" photo as nice as possible. But news 
photography has a responsibility to be accurate. The Times seem to have 
a very large photo department. And for the most part, they deal with a 
group of pre-approved contributors, who understand the seriousness of 
the situation and want to protect their position.  When the Times photo 
editors buy something from outside their circle, they can devote more 
time and effort to scrutiny.

Interesting. The New York Times won't permit any PhotoShop alterations
whatsoever. Even background clutter must remain in the photo. Before I
could sell photos to the Times I had to sign documents pledging that I
would provide only unaltered photos. The photo editors carefully
examine all submissions for any signs of alteration. I'm sure one 
could

slip a minor cleanup by them, but anything of consequence would
probably be detected.
