NEWTON SQUARE, Pa. (AP) — Dustin Johnson had all of last week to get the U.S. Open out of his system. He celebrated his 26th birthday on a boat, spoke with Greg Norman about learning from a major disappointment and showed up at Aronimink ready to move on.
So who was the first person he bumped into on the putting green?
Justin Rose, of course.
No matter where he looks, no matter where he goes in this game, there is no escaping failure.
"You're not going to win every time," Johnson said Tuesday after enduring a 20-minute inquisition on the 82 he shot in the final round of the U.S. Open. "I had three really good rounds. And I had a bad Sunday."
His Sunday at Pebble Beach was sandwiched between two other collapses on the PGA Tour of far less notoriety.
A week before the U.S. Open, Robert Garrigus stood on the 18th hole of the TPC Southwind unaware he had a three-shot lead. He chopped his way into the water and out of the trees for a triple bogey, then was eliminated in a playoff.
A week after the U.S. Open, Rose took a three-shot lead into the final round of the Travelers Championship. Without warning, a guy looking to win his second straight PGA Tour title looked more like someone about to miss the cut in his 22nd consecutive tournament. Rose closed with a 75, nearly six shots above the average score, including a 39 on the back nine.
Johnson and Rose chatted for only a few minutes. There wasn't much to say.
"It's gonna happen," Johnson said.
They at least are in good company.
Johnson's final round of 82 was the highest in the U.S. Open by a 54-hole leader since Fred McLeod shot 83 at Chicago Golf Club in 1911. It was Johnson's worse score as a professional. But, ultimately, it was just a number. If he had made that 2-foot birdie putt on the last hole, he would have shot 81. Graeme McDowell still gets the trophy.
Five years ago, Retief Goosen had a three-shot lead going into the final round at Pinehurst No. 2 and shot 81.
Tiger Woods won his first PGA Championship in 1999 at Medinah after a spirited duel with Sergio Garcia. Forgotten is that Woods began the final round in a tie for the lead with Mike Weir, who shot an 80.
Weir won his first PGA Tour event a week later. He has a locker upstairs at Augusta National, a seat at the table each year at the Masters for the Champions Dinner.
"It happens," Woods said. "And just because it happened doesn't mean that you can't ever win again. If he has the talent and the game to give himself that type of lead at a U.S. Open, there's no reason why he can't do that again and finish it off. It's just a matter of picking yourself up and doing it all over again."
Johnson is not the type to dwell on much.
The only shot out of the seven he took on the second hole – a triple bogey that erased a lead he had spent three rounds building – was the wedge he hit from the middle of the fairway that caught the edge of the bunker and left him little choice but to take a hack left-handed. He thinks now he should have been more aggressive, gone at the flag, left himself a 10-foot birdie.
"It might have been different," he said.
He'll never know. The triple bogey was followed by a driver that vanished into a hazard, leading to double bogey. Then came a hybrid that sailed too far right, over the cliff and toward the ocean for a bogey. He says the disappointment didn't last long.
"It was gone when I left California," Johnson said. "It was a tough day, but golfers have tough days, and it's how quickly you can get over them that's the best part."
That's what Johnson is about to find out.
Of all the phone calls he received, the most surprising came from Norman, perhaps because few others could speak from such experience. Norman is as famous for the majors he lost as the two British Opens he won. And his popularity soared by the grace in which he handled defeated, whether it was the 78 he shot in the final round of the 1996 Masters, or the 76 he shot in the last round of the 1986 PGA Championship, when Bob Tway holed out a bunker shot to win on the last hole.
"All of them told me that they learned more from times that they'd lose than they did from when they'd win," Johnson said. "Golf is a learning process, nonstop. There's a lot of things I can take from that Sunday."
Tom Watson had a chance to win his first major in the 1974 U.S. Open at Winged Foot. He shot 41 on the back nine for a 78 and tied for fifth. A year later, he was holding the claret jug at Carnoustie.
The spotlight won't leave him anytime soon. The pairings for the AT&T National came out on Tuesday, and Johnson will be playing with Woods, the defending champion, along with Davis Love III.
Meanwhile, Johnson is trying his hand in another sport.
Johnson, Pat Perez and a couple of buddies pitched in to buy a thoroughbred that is training at Hollywood Park. The name of the horse is "Bling Boy," although an informal meeting was planned for Tuesday night to find their own name for it.
"It's just something that should be a lot of fun," Johnson said. "He might be (bad). He might be pretty good. Who knows? It's not like you can talk to them."
Johnson hopes to get home from Europe next month in time to see the horse race at Del Mar.
Of particular interest will be how he fares in the homestretch.

In this past year we witnessed many negative events: An all-time record number of deportations with over 400,000 men, women and children deported, most of whom were not guilty of crimes; reports of medical negligence, sexual assault and the denial of due process in detention centers; unfulfilled promises of immigration reform masked by the threat of raids; the introduction of harsh anti-immigrant legislation such as SB1070, mandating racial profiling and fueling anti-immigrant sentiment around the country; the expansion of partnerships between Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and local police with the introduction of programs such as Secure Communities; the "anchor-baby" bill; the list goes on and on.
From anti-immigrant actions and racial profiling to bullying and homophobia; from fear mongering to the extreme, divisive rhetoric of the mid-term elections, it is difficult to look back at 2010 and feel hopeful. In the midst of this, however, it is important to note that these events engendered unprecedented activism, and the mobilization and coming together of diverse communities, resulting in a number of victories in the name of restoring dignity, justice and equality. The rigorous debate over Arizona's controversial SB1070 law resulted in sports men and women, musicians, artists, politicians, faith leaders, business owners, young people, as well as the Department of Justice and President Obama, taking a stand against a law that was unjust and offensive, and finally deemed unconstitutional. The March for America in Washington D.C. on March 21st saw 200,000 people, workers, LGBT groups, faith-based groups, etc., come out in support of comprehensive immigration reform, and even without the passage of CIR, the momentum built during that time was palpable for months after. Most recently, following a rally against Secure Communities in New York City, a judge ordered ICE to be transparent and release documents related to Secure Communities and the ability for localities to opt-out of the program.
And two weeks before the end of the year, we are just hours away from a Senate vote on the DREAM Act, a legislation that would provide a path to citizenship for young people that came to the U.S. as children, have completed high-school, and want to pursue college or military service. Every year, around 65,000 young, undocumented boys and girls- including honor rolls students and star athletes- graduate high school and then find themselves high and dry, without the chance to pursue their careers. A number of them, like Eric Balderas, find themselves facing deportation with the chance of being sent back to a country they are supposed to call 'home' but have no memory of. For David Cho, a senior honors student at UCLA who can't count on entertaining job offers the way that his friends are, there are not a lot of options. So instead of young, able, bright people like David and Eric following their careers, pursuing their dreams, giving back to the country by supporting the economy and making the most out of the taxpayers money that has paid for the k-12 education, they are busy mobilizing support to ensure that the Senate passes the DREAM Act tomorrow morning.
Since Sen. Reid announced that he would be holding true to his campaign promise and bringing the DREAM Act up for a vote in the Senate as a stand-alone measure, the DREAMers and all the activists who support the passage of the DREAM Act have been working extremely hard to put pressure on Senators to pass the bill. As it stands, the Senate will vote on the version of the bill that that was passed in the House last week, by around 10am tomorrow. In addition to the DREAMers themselves, who have come out of the shadows to tell their individual stories and have mobilized unprecedented support for the movement, the Latino community is seeing this as a pivotal moment. Speaking to the New York Times, Janet Murguía, president of the National Council of La Raza (NCLR) said-
This will be a watershed vote that Latinos will not forget. There is nowhere left to hide, in the minds of Latino voters. There will be members who choose to stand for innocent children and members who do not. This vote will be an indication of who stands for our families and our communities.
As we get closer to the vote, an increasing number of people are speaking up, urging Senators to vote in favor of the bill. Representatives from the Department of Defense, heads of educational institutions, religious leaders, heads of labor organizations and workers unions, officials from the Department of Homeland Security, and hundreds of others have spoken up in support of the bill and why it is crucial to the integrity and prosperity of the country. President Obama himself made calls to Democrat and Republican senators to garner support for the bill.
Currently, the legislation needs 60 Senate votes in order to be end debate, at which point the House-approved version of the bill will be finally voted on, on Sunday. If passed, it will go directly to President Obama for a signature.The momentum that has brought the movement to this point (since the DREAM Act was first introduced almost a decade ago) is solely the result of intense grassroots activism on the part of students. DREAMers and DREAMActivists have worked tirelessly, putting themselves on the line by coming out as undocumented and basically pushing this piece of legislation forward with their cross-country walks, vigils, hunger strikes and their storming of Capitol Hill online and off. But they can't do it alone. So on the eve of this historic vote, and the eve of the New Year, call your Senators right now and tell them to vote YES on the DREAM Act.
What better way to conclude 2010 than by ensuring that the hard work and courage of the DREAMERs pays off and the DREAM Act passes in the Senate tomorrow morning, less than two weeks before the end of this year.
Pick up the phone, write a letter, and make a wish for the New Year. See you then!

Visualization of CNT FET Electrical Field Lines
Published on
Faculty Advisor(s): Ebert, Klimeck, Qiao
With transistors decreasing to nanometric dimensions, limits of current processing technologies are being reached. Many physical obstacles still need to be overcome to replace earlier silicon devices with Carbon NanoTube Field Effect Transistors (CNT FETs). Because of the minute size of the CNT FET channel, electron flow through the channel is no longer exclusively dependant on the gate voltage which produces a substantial leakage current. Scientific visualization techniques can prove to be highly successful in gaining a deeper understanding of the electrical behavior of the CNT FET. A two-step visualization method is used to observe the electrical field lines and equipotential surfaces around the device given a specific dataset. A Matlab code determines the electrical field vectors in the entire volume of the device and a trilinear interpolation allows obtaining their projection in any planar cross section. The electrical field in the selected plane is then rendered using the C++ OpenGL library and the ImageBased Flow Visualization technique. The resulting images enable researchers to analyze the influence of the transistor's geometrical parameters on the electrical field, allowing potential development of the CNT FET.

Consideration of appropriateness.
The HARB, in considering the appropriateness of any erection, reconstruction, alteration, restoration, demolition, or razing of any building or structure, shall consider, among other things, the following:
The purpose of this Chapter.
The historical and architectural value and significance of the building or structure.
The design, arrangement, texture, material and color of the building or structure in question, or its appurtenant fixtures (including signs), insomuch as these features are visible from any public street or way.
The relationship of such building or structure in relation to the street or public way, as well as to other buildings or structures.
The HARB shall not consider any matters not pertinent to the preservation of the historic aspect and nature of the district.
If the applicant files and receives an approved Historic Preservation Certification from the United States Department of the Interior National Park Service, the HARB shall advise in favor of granting a certificate of appropriateness. Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3 of the United States Department of the Interior National Park Service Certification shall be filed with the Borough, and become part of the applicant's file.
If the HARB, on the basis of the information received at the meeting, from the information submitted, and from its general background and knowledge, decides to advise in favor of granting a certificate of appropriateness, it shall so notify the applicant, in writing and within five working days, of its recommendation.
If the HARB, on the basis of the information received at the meeting, and from its general background and knowledge, decides to advise against the granting of a certificate of appropriateness, it shall also notify the applicant, in writing and within five working days, of its recommendation.
The HARB, after following the procedures set forth above, shall submit to the Borough Council, in writing, its advice concerning the issuance of a certificate of appropriateness, as required by this Chapter. The written report shall include the following:

If the HARB, on the basis of information received at the meeting, from the information submitted, and from its general background and knowledge, decides the information does not adequately describe the work to be undertaken or if revisions are necessary to meet the requirements of this Chapter, the Board shall notify the applicant during its scheduled meeting and place the applicant on the HARB agenda for the next regularly scheduled HARB meeting for continued review.
In the event the Historical Architectural Review Board does not act in accordance with the procedures set forth above, the application shall be referred to the Borough Council without recommendation from the HARB and it shall be presumed by the Borough Council that the application was approved without amendment.
[Ord. 2232, 5/13/2014, § I]
Upon receipt of the Historical Architectural Review Board's recommendations or 45 days from the date the application for a certificate of appropriateness is received by the Borough Zoning Officer, whichever is first, the Borough Council shall consider at its next scheduled public meeting, or the one thereafter, if the next would make five working days' notice to the applicant impossible, the question of issuing a certificate of appropriateness for the work covered by the application. The applicant shall be given five working days' notice by the Borough Zoning Officer, or his/her designee, of the time and place of the meeting at which his/her application will be considered and he/she shall have the right to attend and be heard regarding his/her application. Within those five working days, the applicant has the right to request a change of date if it is impossible for him/her to attend the meeting proposed by the Borough.
In determining whether or not to issue a certificate of appropriateness, the Borough Council shall consider, among other factors, the report of the HARB if one is submitted. If the Borough Council approves the application, it shall issue a certificate of appropriateness authorizing the work covered. The certificate of appropriateness also authorizes the Building Inspector or Zoning Officer to issue any necessary permits for the work covered if this work complies with all other applicable requirements. If the Borough Council disapproves the application, the decision shall indicate what changes in the plans and specifications would be necessary to meet the conditions for protecting the distinctive character of the structure, site or area certified to have historical significance within the District and for protecting the historical environment of the District, as a whole. The Borough Council must render its decision at a public meeting. This decision shall be communicated, in writing, to the applicant, the Historical Architectural Review Board, the Building Inspector, the Zoning Officer, and the Pennsylvania Historical Museum Commission within 10 days of the decision. In the event the Borough Council does not tender its decision to the applicant within 10 days of the date the decision was rendered at a public meeting, it shall be deemed that the Borough Council has decided in favor of the applicant and a certificate of appropriateness shall thereupon be issued. The time limits provided for in this Section may be extended by agreement of the parties, in writing.
Disapproval of application. Upon receipt of the written disapproval of the Borough Council, the Building Inspector and/or Zoning Officer shall disapprove any application for a building or sign permit required for the work covered. In addition, any proposed work defined by the application for the certificate of appropriateness shall not be carried out.
[Ord. 2232, 5/13/2014, § I]
Any decision of the Borough Council under this Chapter granting or denying a certificate of appropriateness shall be subject to review and appeal to the Court of Common Pleas of Chester County in the same manner and within the same time limitation as is provided for zoning appeals by the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code, Act of July 31, 1968, P.L. 805, and as amended, 53 P.S. § 11001-A, et seq.
[Ord. 2232, 5/13/2014, § I]
In case any building or structure is erected, reconstructed, altered, restored, demolished or razed in violation of this Chapter, the Bureau of Inspections or other agency charged with the issuance of permits for the erection, demolition, or alteration of buildings shall promptly stop all work at the site.
The Bureau of Inspections or other agency charged with the issuance of permits for the erection, demolition or alteration of buildings shall have the power to institute any proceedings, at law or in equity, necessary for the enforcement of this Chapter, or in the same manner as in its enforcement of other building, zoning, or planning legislation or regulations.
HARB members shall assist the Bureau of Inspections in detecting violations under this Chapter, and shall provide the Bureau with such technical support and/or evidence as may be necessary for its enforcement.
The imposition of any penalty hereunder shall not preclude the Borough or any proper person from instituting any proper action or proceeding to require compliance with the provisions of this Chapter and with the administrative orders and determinations made hereunder.
[Ord. 2232, 5/13/2014, § I]
The Borough Council may appropriate from the general Borough funds such funds as may be necessary and available for the work of the HARB in the year for which the appropriation is made.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – For the first time this season, the Lipscomb cross country squads leave the friendly confines of Percy Warner Park. The Purple and Gold competes at the Eric Anderson Invite in Spokane, Wash. Saturday.
"We kind of wanted a meet that gave us some competition but was a bit lower key," Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field, said. "I think this solves that. Primarily we will be scored against Washington State and Gonzaga, the other two DI teams that are there.
"Both of them on the men's side are regionally ranked in the West, the strongest region in the nation. The women's squads were preseason ranked. The rest of the field has some good D II teams because it is the site of the national meet for Division II."
The Lipscomb women's team moved up to fifth place in the South Region in the latest USTFCCCA rankings after finishing second at the Vanderbilt Invite. The men's squad climbed the ladder to sixth place after winning the Vanderbilt Invite.
Washington State is ranked 10th in the West Region with Gonzaga holding 13th place for the men's squads.
Lipscomb is participating in the only back-to-back weekend meets after competing at the Vanderbilt Invite last Saturday. Taylor believes the schedule is set up nicely before heading into the meat of the schedule.
"After this meet, we will now have a week off," Taylor said. "Then we really get into the heart of the schedule where the at-large points are possible."
The at-large points become important in determining which teams make the NCAA National Meet.
"This is kind of like our dress rehearsal before we get into the most impacting meets of the year," Taylor said.
The college division of the races is scheduled to begin at 12:45 p.m.

400 weeks and still going strong!
That's right, this is the Outhouse Review Group's 400th week, and in celebration we are giving previous books a second glance. The assignment: Re-read a comic you personally reviewed for the Review Group and see if you still feel the same way (links to previous weeks are in the first post, with many of them not working due to NuRama.)
As a special bonus, not only will your first review count towards your total, but any extra retro reviews you choose to write up will count as half a review (rounding down, meaning you must do two extra reviews to get an extra "point.")
Ze rules:
Post your review in the forum thread or in the comments section here on the front page.
Review as often or as little as you like. Once you've posted 5 reviews, you will be awarded 1 pick. You can post 5 reviews, right? That's a totally achievable goal and with day and date digital releases becoming the standard, it shouldn't matter if your shop ordered enough copies of this weeks comic or not.
When multiple Review Groupers have posted 5 (or more) qualifying reviews, they will be awarded their pick in the order that they qualified. What constitutes a qualifying review? Any review posted (with a score on a scale from 0-10, that's right 0!) within 1 calendar month of the thread going live. Reviews are to be at least 5 sentences long. It shows that a) you have at least read this week's pick and b) you have some unique insight into the comic.
Reviews posted while waiting in line for your pick will be applied to your next pick.
I'll be keeping track of everyone's progress with the newly christened Spreadsheet of Fantastic (RIP, Spreadsheet of Doom) and reporting the results in the Current Members list in the weekly OP. When it's your turn to make a pick, I will PM you. If you do not respond to me by Midnight EST the following Sunday, you will lose your pick and I will start a poll to determine that week's selection.
Any week in which we do not have a Review Grouper with 5 qualifying picks, we will determine the week's comic via poll.
If it's your week to pick, remember to keep it under $3.99.

by guitarsmashley » Thu Oct 10, 2013 6:54 pmI will be reviewing my first review. The Boys #1 which if I remember correctly I gave a 7 to. I don't know what else I'll reread.
by GLX » Sat Oct 12, 2013 10:53 pmX-Men #33
I decided to re-read this without going over the previous three issues in the story. From what I read (and remember of those issues before this), Wood's story is a rush of action. There's some character work here, but the core of the story is based on the X-Men's attempt to defeat David Michael Gray. David Lopez and co. deliver some kinetic art to compliment the fast paced story. Overall, this is a shallow, yet enjoyable read with some fetching pictures.
6.8 out of 10

I cannot lie about this...I didn't actually read this the first time around. I gave it a 1 out spite since if I remember correctly there were a lot of other comics that could have been chosen and instead we were saddled with this.....So I reread most of the issue. I do not care for the 3-4 page strips and it's still not a very good comic but not worth a 1. Final score is 4.6
by Stephen Day » Mon Oct 14, 2013 2:17 pmI wasn't sure what to review again, so I put all of the titles I previously reviewed in a hat and drew randomly. The winner was Captain marvel #1.
Here's my original review:
by Stephen Day » Mon Oct 14, 2013 2:22 pmAfter reading this again I will admit that I enjoyed it more than I did the first time around. Having said that, all of my criticisms from my original review still ring true. I still believe that it doesn't succeeded as a first issue. In the end, that's is the most important factor in what I'm going to give it this time. I liked it more than I did when I first reviewed it, but not enough to change my rating.
4 out of 10.
by GLX » Mon Oct 14, 2013 11:48 pm
Have you checked out the trade?
by Stephen Day » Tue Oct 15, 2013 3:56 pm
No, the first issue was enough for me. It doesn't come across as a series I'd enjoy reading.
by GLX » Tue Oct 15, 2013 4:31 pm
I've read both trades through my local library. The first one was alright, but I didn't get a sense on why Carol is cool. Deconnick seemed more interested in the astronauts than the main character. The second trade was better, though I still don't get the hype around it.
by Stephen Day » Tue Oct 15, 2013 5:09 pm
Yeah, that's the sense I got about where the story was heading from the first issue. If somebody enjoys it that's cool, I have no problem with people having different tastes than me. It really does come across as not being my cup of tea though.

It seems no worse than anything else I saw on that list. It's not that great a week is it? There is some good stuff, but most of it is mid-story, with no real good jump on points.

Helix aspersa, California. This is one of the two main species of snails eaten by the French - "escargots." A species of Eastern Europe, it has been introduced by human commerce to many places in the world. It is a serious pest in the western and southwestern United States, and in Australia (where it is known as the pestiferous "garden snail").

KatEllis wrote:In the nine and a half years I've been doing the comic I've learned one really unbreakable rule: you can't please everyone. I outrage a small percentage of people who stumble on my site and are "disgusted" by the "filth", and I disappoint a small percentage of readers who want "more fucking". But I make the largest percentage of readers happy by sucessfully telling a story with characters that they want to read about. So all I can say is: if you want just lots of orgies, you'll either have to look elsewhere or wait until this big story is over. I'm going to be aiming for shorter, busier stories later on once I've laid the groundwork with this one.
BarkleyTDog wrote:Kat,
Keep up the good work.
NOTE that last weeks/this weeks panel, the group scene in the Copulation Club, does NOT show ANY gay couple silhouettes in the background. EVERY couple shown in Kit n Kay - NOT going against Kit n' Kay's agenda - has been shown as STRAIGHT. Not a SINGLE gay OR lesbian couple - ever since the cameo appearance - has been shown in a GOOD light...yet one of the worst characters ever introduced is GAY??!
Catalina Tamiko wrote:I have to say this.
I have not seen a comic like this one in my life time. I have read it, cover to last page posted in less than a month (i have a lot of free time lately) and I can tell you. Its damn near perfect. Plot is wonderful, the yiff is nice but it doesnt have to take center stage at all times. Otherwise it just turns the comic into a porno with little to no reading value. I enjoy this piece. Its my fav so far and has inspired several events in my own writings.
Dont let people drag it down man. You keep at it. This is your work. and you breath the life into it.

KatEllis wrote:dinosnake wrote:In other words, WHAT ARE YOUR INTENTIONS.
My intentions are to tell a story. Your intentions, after taking a cold shower, should be to either learn to do a decent job of trolling or go and scream elswhere. You have said nothing even remotely relevant, and not all the underlined and/or boldface type changes that. The first and most prominent gay couple in my comic is Squinx and Snowicet, and far from having only a cameo they've had their own story http://kitnkayboodle.comicgenesis.com/d/20050830.html and since you don't have the sense to see it yourself, I'll have to tell you they're pretty much like every other couple in Yiffburg. Their own quirks, their own foibles, but a couple for all that - and an affectionate one at that. Not surprisingly, you've clearly missed the fact that the bulk of the story has been about the redemtion of all the members of the legal firm Hokumm, Fleecer, Bunko and Skamm and that none of them have been portrayed as shining, unblemished paragons of right and justice. Bunko considered himself just as bad as Skamm and thought himself just as responsible for Bill Blaine's death. No alternative positive lesbian images? Bill Blaine spent his entire visit in the company of two charming and affectionate ladies who enjoyed each other erotically just as much as Bill, guess that escaped you too?
Must have. You have it fixed in your mind that the one prominent gay character is evil and I'm expected to answer for my intentions. My answer is: since you haven't really been reading the comic, you won't miss it if you stop.

Now that the dust has settled around the various global fashion weeks and we know what to expect from the most important collections for Spring 2013, well...what can we expect? The handbag trends weren't quite as clear for the upcoming season as they have been in the recent past, but if nothing else, you should count on things getting a little more modern. Fashion as a whole has decided to pick up and head into the future, and that means that bag design is headed there as well.
After searching all the weird textiles, textures, color combinations and a few (fewer than you'd expect) straight-up leather bags, we've compiled a list of the 10 Best Runway Bags of Spring 2013. For this season, you won't find any of Louis Vuitton's 70s-hued Damier bags on our list, but you will find the triumphant return of Dior under the leadership of modernist wunderkind Raf Simons. Check out our full list below or take a look back through all of our Fashion Week coverage.
It's hard to beat Hermes, and this Hermes Leather Backpack is among the most beautiful backpacks you'll ever see.
It's been a long time since Dior's bags have excited me, but this nipped-waist tote oozes both modernity and Dior heritage.
Back when I reviewed the Mulberry Spring 2013 collection, I predicted that the Mulberry Willow Tote would be the best everyday bag of the season. I was right.
Chanel's collection was full of fantastical pieces (that hula hoop bag!), but this little lego-inspired clutch managed to be more clever than all fo them.
Fendi Spring 2013 was my favorite bag collection of the entire season, and this neoprene and enamel Fendi 2Jours Tote captures the line's futuristic feel perfectly.
I never expected a yellow crocodile briefcase to be subtle and ladylike, but Bottega Veneta has a way of making these things happen.
Is this a blush crocodile Valentino iPad case? I'm not sure, but even if it wouldn't fit an iPad, it's a gorgeous flat clutch.
Proenza Schouler naturally lead the charge toward mixed media. This print-and-metal version of the Proenza Schouler Record Bag is visually challenging, but it's exactly what fashion needs.
We're huge 3.1 Phillip Lim fans around here, and the simple, modern black-based floral on this functional satchel is pretty much perfect.
Lanvin promised to expand its presence in the handbag market for Spring 2013, and this wood-accented shoulder bag is a good start. The hard lines mixed with natural details are a Lanvin staple.
P.S. Please consider supporting our small, bag-loving team by clicking our links before shopping or checking out at your favorite online retailers like Amazon, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, or any of the listed partners on our shop page. We truly appreciate your support!

|Behavioral: Parolee Comprehensive Care + Phone Coach Behavioral: Parolee Brief HBV Program + Phone Coach Behavioral: Usual Care Group
|Not Applicable
Homeless parolees pose a particular challenge for successful reentry into the community as they have underlying mental health issues combined with substance use and abuse and must contend with unstable housing situations, disorganized lives, unemployment, and limited access to health care and social services. Generally about 50% of all parolees scheduled to enroll in community-based drug treatment fail to enroll and less than 10% of enrollees actually complete treatment. Not surprisingly, about two-thirds of all individuals on parole are rearrested and return to custody within three years of release from prison. Recent data also revealed homeless persons who were least likely to complete a Hepatitis A/B (HAV/HBV) vaccine series were young (< 40) men who had been discharged from prison. Therefore, it is critical to engage paroled adults in comprehensive intervention programs that not only protect them from hepatitis B, but also reduce risky behavior, promote access to health care, social and employment services, and enable positive coping and communication skills.
Building upon advice from community partners who have successfully treated parolees and the research team's experience with hepatitis vaccination work, this study is designed to conduct a prospective, three-group study that randomly assigns 700 ready-for-discharge parolees, scheduled to enter a community residential drug treatment program, to enter one of three groups: 1) a PCPC (Parolee Comprehensive Care + Phone Coaching Program), which includes nurse case management and specialized hepatitis education sessions and referrals, the HAV/HBV vaccination series (to all eligible) and coach-facilitated mentoring (mostly by cell-phone); 2) a Parolee Brief Hepatitis Education + HBV vaccination + Phone Coaching (PBCP) Program, which includes brief hepatitis/HIV education, the HAV/HBV vaccination and coach-facilitated mentoring; or 3) a Usual Care (UC) control program, which includes brief general health information, and the HAV/HBV vaccine. This study will advance the research team's knowledge about drug treatment and HBV vaccine completion and recidivism among homeless parolees. Findings from this study can inform targeted interventions and lay the groundwork for health policy decisions that may impact hepatitis and HIV risk reduction and recidivism in this group who are a reservoir for these viruses in the general population, and are returning to prison at unprecedented numbers.

Dental fillings are restorations used to repair tooth decay, minor tooth fractures as well as minor damage to the tooth surfaces. Some patients experience tooth enamel loss which often leads tooth sensitivity. This can be corrected with dental filling material to eliminate the issue. name at clinic offers tooth colored dental fillings so you can restore your smile while maintaining your esthetic appearance.
The materials used to create dental fillings are tooth colored porcelain/composite or silver amalgam. These materials can also be used to aid the functionality of biting and chewing by evening out the tooth's surfaces for better contact.

Weiß Schwarz is a Japanese card game.
However, there currently is one trial deck which is available in English.
I'm sure we all hope that there will be more sets and decks released in English, but right now nobody really knows if and when more will be released in English...

Edit: Sorry. Got interrupted before I could finish. I guess if a good way to play this on-line could be made, I'll put together a fun deck. No one I know plays this game, so video games are more my thing ATM.
I'm a bit iffy on starting the game, however, esp. if the series keep adding series so quickly. It can drive down prices, esp. if the effects are either (1) the same or (2) overwritten by the newer series. A few card-based games' cards that I had played had prices so high and for so long that it was painful; when one rare "Haman Khan" card was going for 30,000+ yen for months, there are some problems involved.
But for collectors who specialize in specific series, it's a way to "milk" the franchise. I think I saw a "Haruhi" series recently...

In regards to that card specifically, Overlord Laharl and his Vassal Etna, when it battles and defeats an opposing enemy character, you can take one card from your Waiting Room (Discard Pile) and put it in your stock if there are no climax cards in your opponent's Waiting room.
As an owner of a trial deck and having a friend that has one too. I enjoy playing the game, but with such a limited card selection, it can get boring at times because we both know what the best cards in the deck tend to be. At that point, it just becomes a who can get the cards out faster.
I love making my own decks when I play card games so I hope that a US company picks up the license for the game. Given the state of card games in the US however, I'm not holding my breath.

I agree with your third paragraph. Even though the game comes out with new expansion every now and then, chances are you may not even like the series. God knows when another disgaea verse series will come out. I want to form a prinny deck...

Sorry if I was being unclear. Hopefully this will simplify things? When a character is defeated in battle, you turn the card upside down to indicate this. Here is the exact word-for-word text on card SO2-E103, Overlord Laharl and his Vassal Etna, from the English trial:
"When the status of the enemy doing battle with this character changes to [upside down card icon], you can select one card from your Waiting Room and place it in your Stock if there are no Climax Cards in your opponent's Waiting Room."

Alright, my Disgaea trial deck is finally here! ^__^
After some intense playing I came to the conclusion that Weiß Schwarz is definitely fun and I don't regret buying it.
However, they should really release some more cards in English since I can see how boring it will get if you have no other English cards available.
Though I said Weiß Schwarz is fun, I also think that it could frustrate players who don't want to depend too heavily on luck since Climax Cards sometimes come out of nowhere and prevent damage at random. In the trial deck's case, I'd even go as far as to say that big damage is not worthwhile in most cases since chances are far too high to reveal a Climax Card when dealing something like 5 damage.
When I get the chance, I think I'll purchase some Japanese cards of other sets and play around a little bit with them.
I'm looking forward to finding out if this game is even better when playing "real" duels in which you don't use only 25 card decks.
At the moment I think Weiß Schwarz is fun to play, but I also think that there are better card games out there.
It does make this up with plus points though since it features cool characters. Can't wait to get to play cards from other sets like Fate/stay night.

Though it'd be much easier to convince people if it was in English...
Well, we'll see how this turns out.
As of now, there are two more persons interested in it, and maybe more will follow.

I've been interested in the game for a while now, I have the Disgaea trial deck, but like a couple of people here, I have no one to play with, hence I've never even tried it out.. I have friends that play CCGs/TCGs but no one is interested =/

AFL ahead of NRL in Sydney ticket sales
Over 100,000 tickets have been sold to ANZ Stadium's upcoming football feast, as the Sydney venue gears up for its biggest weekend of sport since the 2000 Olympics.
The AFL and NRL's contest to draw a larger crowd in their respective weekend finals fixtures remains on a knife's edge.
Bumper crowds are expected when Sydney host Collingwood in an AFL preliminary final on Friday night before Canterbury and South Sydney meet in an NRL equivalent the following night.
The AFL confirmed on Wednesday night that 54,000 tickets to Sydney's home final had been sold.
Interestingly, the figure is higher than the AFL game between Hawthorn and Adelaide at the MCG on Saturday, which has a total of 50,000 tickets sold.
A spokesperson for the NRL said at the same point in time, the league had shifted 51,000 tickets to the ANZ Stadium showdown between the ground's two tenants.
The weekend's combined attendance is set to comfortably outdo the most recent time the ground hosted back-to-back preliminary finals.
In 2006 over 60,000 fans went to the Swans-Fremantle AFL clash and a little over 40,000 attended St George Illawarra's NRL match against Melbourne.
Depending on what figure the AFL delivers on Friday night, the ARL Commission will be desperate to better it the following night, particularly with many factors in their favour.
The top priced tickets to the AFL clash ($160) are double that of the NRL ($80).
Even the cheapest tickets to the AFL in the upper reaches of the spacious ground are twice as much ($70) than that for the 13-man game.
Given the disparity in ticket prices, even remotely similar crowds would mean a comparatively much larger financial windfall for the AFL.

Hit Mt. Hope again today. Good run with ridiculous hills that are a fantastic workout. Despite the rest day yesterday, still feeling a touch beat up from the mileage increase, but nothing out of the ordinary. Still, I plan on taking a step back this week with the mileage to help with recovery, which is good timing because there's a lot going on this week with work, particularly on Thursday and Friday. I might just use both of those days as rest days, though somewhat begrudgingly.
On the PF front, I'm continuing to see genuine improvement. The general ache/pain I've felt constantly has waned dramatically, and when I do have flare-ups they are less intense, shorter, and I recover from them much, much quicker. And, all this has been going on while I've been ramping up the mileage. All good signs, for sure. I still have ways to go before declaring it gone, but I'm getting there. For now, it's just nice to be able to run comfortably for the most part.
Ran 11.1 miles @ 8:41/mile pace.
Paved roads.
Extremely hilly.
Lower 40s, mostly cloudy.
Shorts, long sleeved shirt, short sleeved shirt.

Writers rally 'round DNA
Ronald Bailey makes some excellent points in his essay concerning DNA and privacy ["All about you: It could already be on file," February 24].
As with any forensic technology, the issue of individual civil rights must be taken into consideration when collecting, analyzing, and storing DNA evidence. I must, however, take some exception to Bailey's statement that "For better or worse, we all now live in a CSI world."
This idea is primarily a myth perpetrated by television. While DNA is a powerful forensic tool, it is not necessarily, as one assistant prosecutor confided to me, a magic bullet for determining innocence or guilt. Furthermore– while the state of Virginia is something of an exception– the reality is that the majority of American crime labs are seriously under-funded.
In Los Angeles County, for example, which has one of the biggest populations of any in the US, DNA is seldom used to solve murder or rape cases. The backlog of DNA samples to be processed is so much larger than the available equipment, staff, and facilities that the labs are lucky to be able to process DNA samples before a case goes to trial. Meanwhile, in other countries where there's better support for the forensic sciences, DNA is being used to apprehend burglars.
Several crime/mystery novelists, including me, are part of what is known as the Crime Lab Project, an effort to educate the public about the benefits of DNA forensic technology and lobby Congress to increase funding for DNA forensic testing, most notably through the Paul Coverdell National Forensic Science Improvement Act. I urge all Americans to learn more about the reality and the benefits of DNA forensic science and to support increased public funding for crime labs.
