Baby in Iconic Tsunami Photo Safe With Parents
By not in system - AOL NewsISHINOMAKI, Japan -- A Japanese soldier grins as he cradles a tiny baby in a fuzzy pink blanket, plucked from the second story of a wreckage-blocked house three days after a powerful earthquake and tsunami flattened much of the country's northeastern coastline.

Yomiuri Shimbun / AP In March, a Japan Self-Defense Force ...

What CNN Didn't Want to Show in the Lara Logan Photo
By Joseph Schuman - AOL NewsThe image is already infamous for the horrendous event that took place moments after a photographer captured it. It shows CBS News correspondent Lara Logan with a jostling crowd of Egyptian men in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Friday night. CBS said it was taken just before she was attacked and sexually assaulted amid the uproar and jubilation that followed President Hosni Mubarak's decision to resign. The faces of the people behind her seem to reflect a range of emotions, from anger and anxiety to joy and celebration. One smiling man in a hooded sweatshirt appears to be holding up a "V" sign for ...
Ultimate All-Nighter: Man Tries to Stay Awake 40 Days
By Ben Muessig - AOL News
(Oct. 23) -- Plenty of young artists put work before sleep -- none more than Tyler Shields. In an attempt to break the world record for going the most nights without sleep, the 28-year-old Los Angeles photographer claims he's stayed awake for the past 38 days and won't allow himself a wink of shut-eye until he's reached 40 days. It's such a dangerous stunt that Guinness World Records wants no part in it. Shields has therefore enlisted friends to act as monitors and vouch for him when disbelievers inevitably dismiss him as a fool and a liar. Nevertheless, by midnight Sunday, he'll end this ...

By Hugh Collins - AOL News![NASA Gets a Glimpse of Spring's Arrival -- on Titan [PHOTOS]](http://o.aolcdn.com/dims-global/dims3/BLOG/resize/151x82^/crop/151x82/http://o.aolcdn.com/photo-hub/news_gallery/6/9/691273/1287684349719.JPEG)
(Oct. 21) -- Temperatures may be dropping in the U.S., but new NASA photos show that spring has sprung elsewhere in the solar system. The images of Titan, one of Saturn's moons, show a band of brightly colored clouds around the center of the moon. That suggests the seasons are changing on the icy moon, with spring arriving in the northern hemisphere. SSI / JPL / NASA NASA's Cassini spacecraft obtained this raw image of Saturn's moon Titan on Monday. Bright clouds streak the moon's midsection, likely an indication of changing seasons and the arrival of spring in the northern hemisphere. ...
Images of Massive Sunspot Show Sun's Chaos
By Hugh Collins - AOL News(Sept. 4) -- New images of a colossal sunspot show the chaos and energy on the surface of the sun. The New Solar Telescope in Big Bear Lake, Calif., snapped the closest image ever taken of the sunspot, which is larger than the Earth. Resembling a giant sunflower, it makes for a pretty picture, but the black fibers are violent jets of energy being thrown from the surface of the star. "What's interesting is that when we look at the sunspot, it appears pretty benign," New Jersey Institute of Technology professor Philip R. Goode told Fox News. But "the fibers are actually jets of energy being ...

By Michelle Ruiz - AOL News(July 22) --- As a plus-size fashion model and former eating disorder sufferer, Crystal Renn said she was stunned when a photographer for a charity fashion shoot gave her a digital slim-down that prompted a flurry of questions about her body image. The photos in question, shot by photographer Nicholas Routzen, show a suddenly svelte Renn in a tank top benefiting Fashion for Passion, a charity that funds arts education for children. "When I first saw the pictures, I have to say I was absolutely shocked. I think I sat in silence for a good five minutes," Renn said today on NBC's "Today" show. ...
Rachel Uchitel, Elena Kagan, and Our Double Standard about Sex as Savvy Career Move
By Sarah Wildman - Politics DailyHas it always been this way? For some reason, the career advancement of a serious, intellectual woman -- Elena Kagan, just for instance -- can be jeopardized over mere rumors about a very private life she prefers for whatever reason to keep private. Yet for gals like Michelle McGee or Rachel Uchitel, dicey sexual behavior is a sure-fire career enhancer. Yes, broadcast a sex tape or publish naughty stripper photos and you're on your way; thus are gals who've done nothing more than be blessed with tight abdominals and a proclivity for shaking what God (or a surgeon) gave 'em celebrated with ...
