...intimate style of Shootback's young photographers has endured as they've grown older. During months of Kenya's post-election violence this year, their photographs conveyed an immediacy frequently lost in the news coverage. One of Mwelu's photographs shows flames leaping from the shacks during the fighting, while a pregnant woman races by in blue sandals. And James Njuguna - another of Shootback's original trainees - photographed a Mathare resident challenging a phalanx of riot police, with his camera facing the truncheons dead-on. As powerful as the images are, Shootback's most lasting impact has perhaps been...
...cringed the first time I stepped on the scale and endured the indignity of learning that my "Wii Fit Age" - a figure that takes into account your weight, body mass index, and sense of balance - was nine years older than I actually am. Puh-leeze. The insolence. I was miffed alright. Even more horrifying was the colorful chart Wii Fit generated each day to detail my progress (and setbacks).

I had revenues in the five figures. I danced in a hip-hop group that performed at the Taste of Chicago, Chi-town’s infamous ghetto-fabulous carnival...

"I'm older than dirt-more scars than Frankenstein," he says, often before telling a story about the spry antics of his still vibrant 96-year-old mother Roberta. At a recent meeting with newspaper editors in Washington, McCain pretended to fall asleep when asked about his age. Humor aside, the campaign has clearly decided that the candidate is his own best defense. "Obviously, I think there will be a greater observance of me," he said about his age while on a bus tour through Iowa last...
...didn?t change the dynamics of the Democratic race; Obama's lead still looks insurmountable. But losing does have a way of making politicians look like losers, and the next primary in Kentucky looks like more of the same terrain that's been tough for Obama, heavy in older, working-class whites without college degrees. So the question of the moment has become: Do Obama's continuing struggles with those particular voters suggest potential problems for him in November...
