Marco Avila, a reporter in Sonora, Mexico was buried over the weekend after being found in a black garbage bag.
He’s the sixth current or former journalist killed in Mexico in less than a month. Considering the number of gruesome atrocities committed by the country’s drug cartels (the latest being the 49 decapitated, hand-less, foot-less bodies found on the side of a highway), it makes sense that the people covering the news in these areas have become targets too.

“descriptive camera” by matt richardson
The Descriptive Camera works a lot like a regular camera—point it at subject and press the shutter button to capture the scene. However, instead of producing an image, this prototype outputs a text description of the scene. Modern digital cameras capture gobs of parsable metadata about photos such as the camera’s settings, the location of the photo, the date, and time, but they don’t output any information about the content of the photo. The Descriptive Camera only outputs the metadata about the content. (more)

Long Island University - Arnold and Marie Schwartz Athletic Center
“The Arnold and Marie Schwartz Athletic Center was always a topic of conversation; from visiting basketball teams, the press corps who covered them, and the fans and alumni who cheered from the stands have been able to enjoy the arena for 42 years. The ornate and hallowed interior of the cozy 1,000-seat gymnasium, the former Brooklyn Paramount Theatre, was a glittering showcase for the stars of stage and screen and the celluloid epics from Hollywood from 1928-1962. The edifice has been retained yet adapted to the athletic, recreational, educational and social needs of the students and staff of Long Island University’s Brooklyn Campus as well as the members of the surrounding community it serves.”

Cocoa is a 3-year-old Alpine Pygmy mixed goat who lives with its owner Fakroddin in Summit, New Jersey. They frequently take trips into Manhattan to enjoy the city. Fakroddin raised Cocoa since she was 2 months old and treats her like a human. “She doesn’t like goats, she doesn’t like farms, she likes the people and the city.” Fakroddin said.

In Focus: The Nenets of Siberia
In arctic northern Russia, industrialized resource extraction and climate change are presenting a double threat to the Nenets, an indigenous people native to Siberia. The Nenets depend heavily on their reindeer herds, using them for food, clothing, tools, transportation, and more as they migrate more than a thousand kilometers across the tundra every year. Photographer Steve Morgan recently traveled to the Yamal Peninsula to document the Nenets and their threatened way of life — here is a selection of his photos.

life:
Of the indispensable photographs taken during the Second World War, Margaret Bourke-White’s image of survivors at Buchenwald in April 1945 — “staring out at their Allied rescuers,” as LIFE magazine put it, “like so many living corpses” — remains among the most haunting. The faces of the men, young and old, staring from behind the wire, “barely able to believe that they would be delivered from a Nazi camp where the only deliverance had been death,” attest with an awful eloquence to the depths of human depravity and, maybe even more powerfully, to the measureless lineaments of human endurance.
On the anniversary of the liberation of Buchenwald by Patton’s Third Army, LIFE.com looks at the story — and at other, harrowing photographs — behind one of the indispensable images from World War II.
