This is from an rss feed today.

On Wednesday, the IEEE Computer Society announced to members that, after 
April 1, it would no longer accept papers that include a frequently used 
image of a 1972 Playboy model named Lena Forsén. The so-called "Lenna 
image," (Forsén added an extra "n" to her name in her Playboy appearance 
to aid pronunciation) has been used in image processing research since 
1973 and has attracted criticism for making some women feel unwelcome in 
the field.

Why? What could possibly be demeaning about a (above the shoulders) female 
photo!

tools aren't soluble in alcohol...
