Humanity - The Power of Authentic Stories:

"When the USA needs to express its power in a human way, you couldn't have a better ambassador than Michael. He serves as a supreme example of how great an athlete can be, swirled with deep humility, boyish charm and thankfulness".

Creative Commons License upheld in court (YAY!):

"In non-technical terms, the Court has held that free licenses such as the CC licenses set conditions (rather than covenants) on the use of copyrighted work. When you violate the condition, the license disappears, meaning you're simply a copyright infringer".

Great tips for using photos on line (together with some beautiful examples):

"Use photos to tell a story. “A picture is worth 1000 words,” as they say. Imagery can go much further than written text to bring out the events and emotions of a particular cause or issue. One photo can describe a pressing situation, warm the heart of the viewer, or cause your audience to react and respond. Furthermore, with multiple photos organized into a photo essay, an entire story can be told from the big picture to the smallest details in an efficient and effective manner".
