Charm Tong -- 06/14/2006 -- Charm Tong, whose parents sent her away from her home in Burma for her safety to a refugee camp in Thailand, began her human rights work there on the border at age 17, documenting rape by Burmese soldiers. She's in Toronto speaking at a Rights and Democracy conference this week. Last year she spent an hour talking to President Bush; she also won the Reebok $50,000 human rights prize.

Ahmed Mohamed -- 06/11/2006 -- Ahmed Mohamed says he was laid-off from his job as a machine operator at Kisko Products, which makes freezies, because he is the uncle of one of the 17 people arrested on terrorism-related charges. He is Muslim and Somalian, and says he is going public so that others don't go through the same thing.

the baseball photo was on camera flash. it was a very bright day and most of the time it was backlit. so i under exposed the sky and set my flash zoom head to 105, and shot it with a 17. the flash was pumping like full power!
