Jack is a dear friend of mine, and I have stayed in his home and walked through Belfast with him. I love his city, but he is rooted in his city. He wants it to survive. - Pat Loughery

My brother told me, just after I sold my Harley, that it'd be less than 2 years till I'm back on a Harley. I don't think so. It may be about that amount of time till I add a sweet little custom like this one (or better, build one myself). - Pat Loughery

“In baseball, a curveball creates a physical effect and a perceptual puzzle. The physical effect – the curve – arises because the ball’s rotation leads to a deflection in the ball’s path,” said Shapiro, who is an associate professor of psychology. “The perceptual puzzle arises because the deflection is actually gradual but is often perceived as an abrupt change in direction – the break. - Pat Loughery

Magnum photographer Bruce Gilden documents the destruction of Detroit with world-class photography. He writes: My work on foreclosed homes in Detroit has actually been a continuation of a project that started in Fort Myers, Florida in September 2008. For me the major concentration of the work is on the houses or what’s left of the houses. I chose to photograph them mostly straight on like my street work in a very blunt fashion. To let the houses speak for themselves. After going to Florida and continuing in Detroit I realized that foreclosure is one part of a circle. There is homelessness, job loss, economic difficulties, etc, etc, etc. In Detroit the problem is not only a subprime problem it’s a problem of people who lost their jobs. And this has been going on for many years. So it’s a much more serious situation. When I went to Detroit - even though I had known that the city was pretty desolate - I was amazed that a major city in America in 2009 can look like this. - Pat Loughery

WOW. As usual, fantastic photos, this time of the 70-foot racing sailboats of the Volvo Ocean race - Pat Loughery

"There are two differences between Microsoft and GM: Microsoft doesn’t have GM’s debt issues, and MS isn’t labouring under onerous union contracts. Otherwise, the two are eerily similar: both have significant product perception challenges, have bloated product & brand portfolios, and seem to be wildly out of touch with their target demographics. Its time for MS to prune its product tree and re-focus its efforts." - Pat Loughery

Creativity is born out of a cultivated soul. It requires you to take time, to make time, for reflection and re-creation. Creativity happens when we are aware of what is happening within ourselves and alert to what is going on around us. - Pat Loughery

Heather Ferreira works in the slums of Mumbai, India, where she has watched thousands of women live under a "curse." They're considered ugly if their skin and hair are too dark. They are "cursed" if they only have daughters. But lately, Indian women are getting a different message from a woman thousands of miles away. This woman has dark skin and hair. And she has two daughters. But no one calls her cursed. They call her Michelle Obama, the first lady. - Pat Loughery
