If we had to give a Most Improved award to a car maker, Volvo would certainly be in the running. One only need look at european car's own 122 S (yes, that white sled is ours) and see how the 40-some years have transformed the farm implement into something far sexier.
Strangely enough, the trio on these pages is closer to ec than one would think. The S40 was a project vehicle with nebulous ownership: it belonged either to sister mag, Sport Compact Car, or us. We never really knew whose it was and it languished for many months in an offsite garage. It was out of sight and subsequently out of mind.
The V70 served as art director Platt's inspiration to get his own Volvo and he has since purchased a pristine example for him and his 19-year-old son fight over. The 122 was the result of an aquavit-fueled frenzy, a chemically enhanced evening in which we were certain a vintage car would be "the coolest thing in the world." Twelve hundred bucks later, we were holding its keys-although the car would start fine without them.
We might revisit the 122 later. In the meanwhile, let's close the books on this younger pair.
* ipd S40 T5Both sporty and compact, the S40 fit SCC's description well. Its $28k base price included a generous list of options and a robust, 218-hp turbocharged five-cylinder engine. Rowing through its six-speed manual, reaching 60 mph took an average of 5.3 seconds with Volvo's R-line sport-tuned suspension Not bad for a four-door.
Yes, the S40 fit the sport compact mold, but it was a bit of a stretch convincing a readership weaned on lightweight Japanese imports. Their loss, our gain. ipd picked the car up and quickly revamped its underpinnings to include KW coilovers and ipd's own adjustable anti-roll and strut tower braces. Whereas a stock S40 is comfortable, aggressive driving quickly shows up the suspension's limits. The ipd system picks up where the factory left off and does a good job taming hard corners while retaining streetwise civility. Interestingly, the spring and shock rates feel fairly soft on this set-up; the ipd bars do the lion's share of the chassis straightening work. Ultimately, the ipd S40 feels like something a secret branch of Volvo Motorsport might produce: firm but not harsh.
Running gear includes bigger VST Type-R alloys shod with P Zero rubber. Visible between the elegant spokes are 13-inch multi-piston brakes, the same kind the Scandinavian cops use on their Volvos. Rather than drilled or slotted, these cop-rotors are dimpled for additional surface area. Dipping deep into the go-fast bin, ipd assembled an engine considerably more powerful than stock. ECU software was upgraded with a custom program designed by ipd and MTE. Its more aggressive boost, fuel and timing maps are augmented with a Typhoon intake GP Moto relief valve and Ferrita exhaust system.
An Aquamist water/methanol injection system provides much-needed cooling to the charge air and its effect is noticeable, primarily when the car is really hot. Water/methanol injection was used in WWII fighter aircraft to great effect. Think of it as a poor man's intercooler.
With the exception of the prominent ipd livery, the S40 looks largely stock, and that's a good thing. The car wears a Heico front spoiler, featuring a carbon fiber splitter that appears to be part of a Volvo 'sport edition' program. In other words, it looks good.
Too bad we let this car go; it's a nice piece of work, especially in its enhanced form. Step on it and those Pirellis start yelling, not stopping for lack of torque. ipd measured an impressive 288 lb-ft of twist (up from 236) and 265 hp at 5600 rpm (up from 218 hp at 5000 rpm). Driving it is a unique experience. Fast but not urgent, the S40 tackles corners with poise. If you wanted to feel safe while driving like a maniac, the ipd S40 will do just fine.

*ipd V70 T5 SportwagonWe've been fans of Volvo wagons since the PV445. We're not alone. Word has it Colin Powell drives a restored 122S wagon and pre-eminent car photographer, Jeff Zwart, has been spotted jetting about in a modded V70.
So we've established that Volvo wagons are cool. ipd can ensure they stay that way. The older V70 here includes a high-pressure turbo system, sport suspension, 17-inch alloys and optimized aerodynamics-all part of the T5 performance package. Not bad for a family hauler.
ipd calls this program the T5+ treatment and it touches virtually every system on the car. Or it can simply focus on one aspect, say power (and there's lots to get), but this is the way we'd do it. A balanced car is a sexy car.
Like the S40, the V70 features adjustable KW coilover suspension, ipd anti-roll bars with trick HD end links and upgraded Derlin bushings. The front brakes are culled from Porsche stock and feature big red four-piston front calipers and 13-inch rotors. The rears are Volvo's own binders based on its R-line, comprised of larger calipers and 13-inch rotors. The wagon rolls on 18-inch Heico Volution wheels and Pirelli P Zero rubber.

This is the result of me allowing my mind to wander around a canvas. I wanted to see what would happen if I did not plan a painting ahead of time. I don't know if it's nice to look at, but it sure felt good to make.

Millions of Americans will head to the polls on Tuesday to cast their ballots in the presidential election. But many others are expected to stay at home.
On this edition of News Analysis we ask why?
We also ask how representative the presidential election in the US is and how much does it reflect the will of the people?
Is there a political duopoly in the US political system that stifles the emergence of a third party?

Monday, January 25, 2010
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY -- The county's auditor gave a glowing review of the County Commission's books Monday, showing government leaders that they were able to come $1.3 million under budget in FY09.
Commissioner Lamar Hudgins, who is also the county's finance committee chairman, commended the cost-cutting practices first implemented by County Administrator Richard Crowdis.
"Things appeared to be better than we expected," Hudgins said after Monday's meeting. "A lot of people did some hard work trimming their budgets and it's because of them that we didn't have to take out as much as we thought from the reserve fund."
For FY 2009, which ended June 30, 2009, the county had budgeted to pull $3.9 million from its reserve fund to balance its budget. But by the end of the fiscal year, the county had only used $2.6 million from the reserve fund.
Despite some indicators that the economy may slowly be improving, Hudgins said that he's had discussions with Crowdis and that the spending controls initiated last year could remain intact.
"We get about half our money from property taxes," Hudgins said. "So really about the only way to raise revenue is to raise the millage or cut spending and I believe that we should continue to try and cut spending as much as possible so we don't have to raise taxes."
The audit showed no abnormalities in the county's bookkeeping, auditor Meredith Lipson said.

For the families of Lyric Cook and Elizabeth Collins, dealing with their grief this past year has been a work in progress."It's really hard everyday," said Wylma Cook, Lyric's grandmother. "It doesn't seem to get any easier."
Wednesday was Lyric's birthday, and family & friends gathered at Meyer's Lake, where the girls first went missing.
"Lyric would have been 12 today," said Tammy Brousseau, Lyric's aunt. "I wish she was here and Elizabeth too, to celebrate with us."
They released purple balloons to honor Lyric.
Just across the water, another work in progress: Angels Park, which is being built to commemorate the two murdered Evansdale girls. Construction is still moving forward on the park. They plan to install sidewalks this fall, among other things.
"That'll be a big enhancement with the gazebo, and things that have been built," said Steve Seible, who is involved in coordinating construction of the park. "And then the trees give it a scenic look again because it's bare."
Officials said they expect the park to be completed next year. But in the meantime, as construction continues, so does this family's emotional journey.
The balloon release was just another step along the way, but an important one for the grieving relatives.
"You feel a sense of peace in your heart," said Brousseau. "Before, while they were missing, there was no peace at all."

Ultrasound Guided Sclerofoam Q&A |
Ask a Doctor about Ultrasound Guided Sclerofoam
What is ultrasound guided sclerofoam?
Ultrasound guided sclerofoam is an outpatient sclerotherapy procedure which removes spider veins and small varicose veins.
How does ultrasound guided sclerofoam work?
Sclerotherapy is a popular procedure for the removal of spider and varicose veins that uses a special solution, called a sclerosing agent, to cause controlled scarring of the vessel walls. The scarring will cause the vessels to collapse, preventing the flow of blood and allowing the vessels to fade away. The ultrasound guided sclerofoam technique uses a foam formulation of the sclerosing solution, and uses ultrasound imaging to ensure the solution reaches its target. Unlike traditional liquid solutions, the sclerofoam agent has a texture and thickness similar to whipped cream, which provides more effective administration of the sclerosing agent.
What are the advantages of ultrasound guided sclerofoam over other similar procedures?
Ultrasound guided sclerofoam offers two primary advantages over traditional sclerosing techniques:
• Foam blocks the flow of blood through the vessel during treatment, allowing the sclerosing agent to remain in contact with the vessel wall for a longer period of time, without being washed away or diluted
• By using ultrasound, the specialist can assure that the foam reaches the target areas, achieving a more precise and successful outcome.
Who is a candidate for ultrasound guided sclerofoam?
Generally, any person who has unsightly spider veins or small varicose veins is a potential candidate for the ultrasound guided sclerofoam procedure. Be sure to discuss any medical conditions or medications with your specialist prior to undergoing the procedure. Pregnant women should not undergo ultrasound guided sclerofoam therapy.
How is the procedure performed?
The ultrasound guided sclerofoam procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, and begins with application of a topical numbing agent. Once the injection site is numbed, your specialist will inject the sclerofoam along the vessel, using ultrasound to ensure its proper placement. Once the procedure is complete, your specialist may apply a bandage to the area. The entire procedure usually takes between 30 and 45 minutes to complete.
What is the recovery like?
Most individuals can resume their regular activities immediately following their procedure. There may be some bruising and redness, and a few patients may experience minor itching. When the legs or ankles are treated, you may also be given compression stockings to wear to speed the healing process.
What will my results be like?
While initial results will be visible soon after your procedure, it may take a few days before vessels completely close. Most individuals can achieve satisfactory results with one treatment, but some may need two or more treatments to achieve the results they're looking for.
What are the risks?
The use of foam sclerosing agents has been linked to a very small risk of microembolisms, or tiny clots. Bruising, redness, and itching may occur, and usually resolve within a day or two.
Is the ultrasound guided sclerofoam procedure approved for use in the U.S.?
Yes, the Food and Drug Administration has approved the use of the ultrasound guided sclerofoam technique in the United States.
Is the ultrasound guided sclerofoam procedure covered by insurance companies?
This procedure is used primarily as a cosmetic procedure, and is usually not covered by major insurers. However, if your treatment is part of a more comprehensive treatment of varicose veins for medical reasons, it may be covered. Ask your insurer about your coverage.
How much does ultrasound guided sclerofoam cost?
The ultrasound guided sclerofoam procedure usually ranges from $200 to $500 per treatment area.

Today's Front Pages Analysis
Stem cells join front pages stuffed with holiday news
A major medical breakthrough on stem cells joined holiday travel, movie and eating stories on Thanksgiving eve front pages.
- • "Scientists bypass need for embryo to get stem cells" is how New York Times editors led the front page.
- • The Biloxi, Miss., Sun Herald asked "Is stem cell debate over?" with a photo of a stem cell.
- • Not likely, said The Winston-Salem (N.C.) Journal, which had a sidebar to its lead story headlined: "Stem-cell debate is not over, some say."
- • The Santa Fe New Mexican added the political angle: "Stem-cell discovery may reshape debate/White House says breakthrough vindicates Bush's opposition to embryo cell research."
- • The Lima (Ohio) News took it one step further: "New findings could be election plus for Bush, anti-abortion allies."
- • The News & Observer in Raleigh, N.C., added a smart Q&A box that put the breakthrough in perspective.
But for many readers, thoughts were on Thanksgiving. The Intelligencer in Doylestown, Pa., offered a hard-to-miss photo graphic on Thanksgiving by the numbers. Bottom line: You'll eat 3,000 calories and spend more time with the tube than talking to grandma.
Cautionary note: It is unlikely pop star Fergie eats that much, if you look at the taut tummy she shows off in Brazil's Amazônia Hoje.
In Hampton Roads, Va., Link editors created a photo illustration of a turkey made of football pigskin, complete with stuffing. An arresting image, but it reminded us of leather-tough birds we've cooked.
For those who will head to the mall once they are through digesting, Stroudsburg, Pa.'s Pocono Record offered parents graphic front-page help on shopping for game systems.
The St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press got to the point, urging: "See a Wii? A Zune? Better grab it."

Embry's finally gotten his imprint, her name's Anna. She's nice, beautiful, a perfect girl. Then she starts getting warmer and angry, she turns into a werewolf. No one knew that there was another pack in La Push, the pack that Anna belonged to, Sam didn't know about them either. He meets their alpha, and discovers things about the past that they were never meant to find out. A war breaks out, can love still happen?
Embry's POV
I woke up at about 6 am, which is extremely early considering its Saturday.
But I can't sleep, not with Jacob outside my door all night and Sam outside my window.
Now, why do they do this, to keep me from sneaking out?
Do I think they're crazy, yes?
Do I think this whole feud is ridiculous, and something that'll never have an answer, yes?
But does anyone listen to me?
I got up and walked over to my door "Let me out Jake"
He sighed "can't do that"
"This is stupid and you know it, now let me out"
"Sorry, can't. Alpha's orders"
"Screw Alpha's let me out"
Jake chuckled "No Embry"
"Don't make me get Nessie"
"She's your weakness man, and she's all for love" the word burned my tongue. "So she'll be on my side"
Then Jacob said the magical word "Imprint"
Needless to say, I shut up.
I sat on my bed and took out my phone, usually, this is confiscated by Sam, but I drugged him and stole it back for the night.
Anna, u there? I texted.
I sighed in relief, she was able to get hers back to.
Hey, hows it going over there?
Other then the fact that I feel like dying...decent
If you die, I'd die
So what, you'd commit suicide?
Yeah, pretty much =\
I had to hold in a laugh because of Jacob and Sam.
Yup, that's me!
Awe, I hate you <\3
Why?!? What's with the <\3?
That's for bein a W.W!
Well im sry 4 having fur =)
U should be ;) luv you!
I smiled luv you 2
What's Maria got u doin? Maria was her alpha
Well, when i'm not at school being watched by Zoie, i'm constantly stuck inside my house, with Elizabeth and Jenny, and my stupid stupid cousin.
Wow, long text

Mhmm, I h8 high school
Where'd that come from?
Idk, I need to think bout somethin else Maria's commin, G2G, I <3 U!
Do you know what it's like to be in love?
Do you know what its like to have that feeling torn away from you?
I feel like there's some kind of rip in my heart.
How can you actually live, when your heart's...torn?
But I can't stop fighting.
Now, I'm running, I won't stop running.
This is a race I have to run.
And if I loose, I'll loose more than life.

VOLUME 50. ISSUE 81 NvCyK MONDAY. MAY 7. 1990 Signpost THE WEBER STATE COLLEGE WITH ONLY 1 0 SECONDS left in the game, the purple team made a desperate attempt to score in Weber State's annual Purple and White Game played Saturday. The white team won 53 - 32. WSC Professor recalls Kent State tragedy By Sandra D. Chapman Assistant news editor of The Signpost The shooting of four Kent State students 20 years ago brought the Vietnam War home; Dr. Raj Kumar, then a Kent State telecommunication graduate student, shares his memories of the incident. Kumar recalls studying in the speech building located near the Maidean, the grassy mound where the shootings occurred. The crowds had gathered for days, and the National Guardsmen were weary. They had been on duty for 48 hours and were tired of being heckled. Suddenly the crowd grew restless. Four deadly shots were fired. The incident just happened to take place at Kent State according to Kumar. "It could have taken place anywhere on any campus because of the mood of the nation at that time ... Berkeley, anywhere. Students were fed up with the government's handling of the the Vietnam situation," said Kumar. Kumar explained that after the shootings, the campus swelled with CIA. Nobody talked. Everyone was careful. "There were lots of police, FBI and secret police placed on campus as undercover agents. We didn't know who was and who wasn't, but we knew they were there," he said. Immediately after the crisis, Kumar was hired to sit in the dean's office and answer the phone because of bomb threats. "I had an itinerary of every class being held in the speech building in case I needed to go tell them to get out because there had been a bomb threat," he said. Rather than try to help solve the problems, Kumar felt the press exploited the Kent State situation. The university was 30-35 miles outside Cleveland; yet, the media travelled there every day for months after the shootings just to take pictures for the evening news. The students would gather between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. and wait for them to arrive. James Michener also came to the campus to do extensive research for his best selling novel about the incident, an example of saturation journalism that has become so unique to Western journalism. Michener did his research by talking to hundreds of students, inviting them to informal parties to get information. According to Kumar, today's climate has changed too much for this to happen again. He feels people are more goal oriented, more job conscious and are more interested in money than in politics. UB renovation waits for results of asbestos survey By R. Todd McGee Staff writer of The Signpost Approximately $250,000 obtained for the renovation of the Shepherd Union Building is currently in limbo pending an asbestos testing survey, according to Joly Walker, coordinator of maintenance for the campus life department. Asbestos, the grey, fibrous carcinogen which enters the body via the lungs, is prohibited in public buildings by the Environmental Protection Agency. The funds, allocated earlier in the year from the capital repair and replacement bond fund, may have to pay for the survey and the removal of the asbestos. A renovation proposal presented by Murdock Business Design was well receive d by the Union Ad vi sory Board April 25. Walker said that on April 26, members of the president's staff interrupted the same proposal with what he called "that topic of gloom and doom the topic of asbestos." Walker said the original plan to renovate the complex includes new carpet. The carpet now in place is more than twenty years old. The backing has pulled away from the nap, making it feel as though you're walking on loose towels, which requires taping it together with silver duct tape. "If we wait five more years to do anything, well be walking on wall to wall duct tape," Walker said. The proposed carpet, which has a synthetic, rot-resistant action back, is guaranteed for fifteen years. The Gallery's appearance is another proposed change. According to Walker, brighter, more versatile decor will replace all the hanging flags and mismatched seating. Though the Gallery currently seats 316 people, the new dining area will only accommodate 280 but will offer more space for events such as dances or fashion shows. All new furniture will be a part of the renovation as well. Where there is excessive traffic, north of the bookstore stairs, tile will replace carpet. There are also plans to convert the third floor TV lounge into a large study area. Several years ago, asbestos was discovered in the structural steel of the UB. Floor tiles containing asbestos have also been found. "We can't do anything until we find out exactly where the asbestos is and how much exists," said Walker. The UB may be sealed off by a big plastic bubble when the asbestos is removed. Bob Folsom of WSC Architectural Services said the survey alone could run anywhere from $5-25,000 based on similar projects conducted on campus in the past. (See UNION page 7)
Object Description
|Signpost (Weber, Utah), 1990-05-07, Vol. 50, No. 81
|Weber State College
|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

J-Woww has some useful dating advice for everyone
Wednesday, February 9th, 2011
What happens when you're suddenly super-famous because of a reality show?! You make a book about something that you pretend to know all about!
OF COURSE J-Woww knows all about life and dating! I mean… She's cheated on and then been sued by her ex-boyfriend, all before another lawsuit happened because he planned to release X-rated photos of her.
Yeah… She knows her stuff.
So in her book "The Rules According to JWoww," we learn some pretty valuable lessons about dating, but also life in general.
Here are some excerpts:
- Stop drinking if you vomit
- Never leave the house without condoms, your cell phone, cash, hair accessories and a change of undies.
- If you're prone to fighting, keep your nails short
- Don't do anything you suck at
- You don't need some fancy guy's name on your ass
- Reheated pasta never tastes the same
Thanks for that, J-Woww. You have now written my guide to life.

Building on the ground is faster and safer than framing on the roof.
I do quite a bit of siding rehab work, much of it on relatively new houses.
Late last year, a couple called me about some leaking windows on the back of their 5-year-old stucco house. My company hadn't built the home; it was part of a tract development in Southeastern Pennsylvania thrown up during the recent housing boom.
I don't think my client was planning on an energy retrofit when he first talked to me about repairing and repainting the shingle siding on his 120-year-old Massachusetts home.
In the Seattle area, where I work, we get a lot of rain. From the mid-90s to the mid-2000s, there were many high-profile cases of water damage caused by improperly detailed siding, mostly on condos and other multifamily housing.
I'm a building energy consultant in central Wisconsin. I recently had a chance to perform a major energy retrofit on a modest ranch-style house just south of Lacrosse, Wis.
Our construction company recently completed a major remodel and energy retrofit of a split-level home in northern Vermont.

To perform a search, enter a keyword, phrase or item number in the search field and click "search."
We offer two ways to locate information:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
From its first tastings, the wine proved extraordinarily successful thanks to its elegance and delicious softness. Very rich, fruit, with vanilla, blackcurrant and liquorice flavors. An intense purple robe combined with roundness. The delicate quality of the appellation is balanced by an impressive level of concentraion and power.
"From the partnership of Jean-Luc Thunevin and Muriel Andraud, the 2000 Marojallia was thought to be a flash-in-the-pan garage wine in 2000, but it is showing its stature and gravitas with its powerful evolution. The wine has a deep ruby/purple color and a beautiful nose of subtle charcoal, jus de viande, violets, blueberries, and black currants. Elegant yet full, pure, and substantial, this wine has wonderful suppleness, length, and a terrific finish. The tannins are round, and the wine ideally should be drunk over the next 10-15+ years."
96 Points
The Wine Advocate
"Opaque dark ruby. Sappy, liqueur-like aromas of black cherry, black raspberry, rose petal and mint. Impressive richness and sappy sweetness in the mouth; lush and dense but enlivened by a floral aspect. Quite concentrated and long, with the big, rich tannins coating the entire palate. This may not quite match the '99, because the cabernet sauvignon in '99 was nobler and more powerfully structured, but this will give pleasure earlier.Barrel Sample: 90-93 Points"
93 Points
International Wine Cellar
"A solid wine, with berry, cherry, mineral and floral character. Full-bodied, with super well-integrated tannins and a medium finish. Gorgeous Margaux from a "garage" in the region."

All Colby College students who studied or did work abroad during the 2012-2013 academic year were encouraged to submit up to 2 of their favorite photos. There were 4 categories: Landscapes & Streetscapes; Portraits; People & Society & What You See & What You Get.
WINNERS of the 2013 contest are shown below:
Category 1: Landscapes & Streetscapes
1st place: "Sheets of Dusk" by Mika Mintz '14
The sun was setting as the ship that the group of us was staying and sleeping on slipped quietly into a secluded 'arm' of Doubtful Sound, the second largest, naturally imposing fjord in New Zealand. As the boat reached complete stillness, the captain instructed every one on the deck to be entirely silent, to turn off our cameras and our mouths and allow the absolutely mystifying beauty surrounding us to be absorbed. With his instructions, he shut off the engine and the silence began pouring over all of us. It truly felt as if I were one with my surroundings. I am unsure how long we stood gazing out in awe of our planet, but once the engine revved up again, I knew the moment had taken it's place in our memories. I took this photo at that moment.
Category 2: Portraits
1st place: "Faces of Florence: The Beggar" by Meghan Fawcett '14
During my time in Florence, I would go to museums and experience works of immense beauty and walk out onto the street and witness a completely different world, which although starkly different was still beautiful in its own anonymous way.Therefore, for my project abroad I did a study on the "Faces of Florence".This man in particular struck me as he would be outside of my classroom every day, people would pass him by, spit at him and push him over, I however, took the opportunity to get to know him better and he became the "first face" of my project and ultimately my favorite.
Category 3: People & Society
1st place: "Dances with Bulls" by William Hochman '14
This bull is about to die, and his blood will smear the dirt and the horses will drag his limp body away from the ring. All to the roar of the Spanish crowd. There is something beautiful in the event and in the way that the bullfighter lightly dances in circles while powerfully commanding the animal. The entire show in suspended in air. We wait, knowingly, for the bull to die and when he does we erupt in applause. There is a sense of history in the ring and in the outdated dress of the bullfighters. But the passion of the crowd and the music and old men drinking red wine from leather pouches makes it feel all the more normal.
Category 4: What You See & What You Get
1st place: "Caravan" by Rory Zia '14
My friend and I rode into the Badain Jaran Desert in a Jeep, but the natives still use camel caravans to transport goods into the desert. Every day camel caravans would roll into the oasis-village that we stayed at. What you see is the daily life in Badain Jaran: a caravan resting from its journey for the day, and a woman shaving a camel's hair; the photo personally reminds me of my arduous journey to the Badain Jaran Desert. My friend and I had to overcome an incredible amount of problems in order to get to the desert and back, ranging from passport issues to believing that our tour agency had taken our money and stranded us, all while only being able to communicate in Chinese. Never in my life have I had so much responsibility and so much at stake. Because of this trip, I'm confident that I can overcome obstacles that stand in my way.
Congratulations to all our winners!!

WINNERS of the 2012 contest are shown below:
Category 1: Landscapes & Streetscapes
1st place: "Ata Whenua Waterfall" by Charles Spatz '13
I took this photo early in the morning on an excursion in FiordlandNational Park in New Zealand. The photo is a 12 second exposure, which smoothens the appearance of the falling water. (TeAnau, New Zealand)
Category 2: Portraits
1st place: "Life After a Cyclone" by Katy Lindquist '14
Three days before I left for India, Cyclone Thane hit the northern part of the Tamil Nadu state. On my third day there I traveled to the most devastated areas to help SRED administer limited relief in the form of rice and dal to Dalit and Tribal villages. This is a photo of the two daughters of a Dalit man we visited. He told us that the cyclone had not only destroyed the houses and streets of the villages, but it had also destroyed the fishing boats, which represented the main livelihood of these people. The boat that his daughters are depicted with is his and because of the cyclone it is too damaged to be of any use. (Chennai, India)
Category 3: People & Society
1st place: "St. George's Day" by Lydia Ball '13
St. George's church in Lalibela is one of the few "cave churches" that is not covered by a roof. The roofs were installed after Lalibela"cave churches" became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These fantastic churches were built 900 years ago by King Lalibela and are still used regularly today. What great luck we had to be visiting on St. George's Day! (Lalibeia, Ethiopia)
Category 4: The Student Experience
1st place: "La Plaza Mayor" by Jack Cohen '15
While in Salamanca for my first semester abroad program, my friends and I would visit la Plaza Mayor daily. Whether it was to grab a quick bite to eat at our favorite restaurant, meet some friends before we went out for the night, or experience one of the great concerts the city put on while we were there in the town, the Plaza was always a favorite destination. Not only was this central spot the heart of the city, but also it was a place where people from all over the world came together. It's amazing architecture, the constant bustling life within, and its meaning to its citizens was overwhelming. I hope that one day I can return to this place and stand in amazement once again. (Salamanca, Spain)

Women and men quickly moving their feet, women twirling scarves and men singing and playing instruments, all parts of a flamenco show in Seville, Spain. This form of dance is a rich part of southern Spanish culture and a special art form that characterizes the south. This particular shot captures one of the female performances twirling bright pink scarves contrasting her bright yellow dance while dancing. Her graceful yet fast paced movements was what caught my eye and what made me want to capture this shot. (Sevilla, Spain).
Category 2: Picture Yourself Here
1st Place, "untitled" taken by Amanda Forrester '11
While traveling through the South of Jordan I happened upon a small antique store. As I rummaged through the back I saw a traditional Bedouin mask hanging in a corner. I desperately wanted to try on the several thousand dollar mask because I had recently spend a week with a Bedouin family in Mafraq. The owner was surprised by my request, but brought down the mask and went into the back to get me a traditional head covering as well. As I brought the mask to my face I could see the sweat stains on the inner brow of the mask and feel the places where there were missing coins. The weight of the mask was shocking and left me bewildered by how women had once worn this attire. Today in Jordan Bedouin women do not wear these masks due to cultural changes or a financial need to sell them. (Jordan)

1st Place, "Happy Birthday" taken by Nate Seiberling '11
Upon stepping off the bus in the National Park of Torres del Paine, Chile we walked over a crest towards a set of rapids. From the top of the hill this triumph of nature towered before us. No one said a word. I took a slow deep breath as this was the most beautiful sight I had ever seen. My friend whispered to me, "Happy birthday Nate." (Torres del Paine, Patagonia, Chile)
Category 4: Learning Abroad
1st Place, "Financial Crisis" taken by Sophie Sarkar '11
After learning about the European financial crisis in class at the London School of Economics, and everyday on the BBC, it was fascinating to travel Europe and actually see how seemingly intangible terms like "high inflation", "unemployment", and "bankruptcy" manifest themselves. Beyond the Picasso paintings, the soccer jerseys, the beautiful museums, the fruit stands, and the discotecas of Madrid, were the abandoned bull dozers, the dilapidated buildings, and the rubble from construction-never-finished. If you step outside the tourist bubble for a moment, you can learn a lot about a country. (Madrid, Spain)

1st Place photo "Breakfast in Xijiang" taken by Katie Lebling '10
This photo was taken at a small restaurant in Guizhou, China. Two of my friends and I were eating the traditional breakfast of warm soy milk and a fried bread stick at the restaurant of this girl's mother. As is customary for small children in China, she is dressed in far too many layers for the balmy weather. She was given her breakfast at the same time as we were, but quickly became frustrated with the unwieldy chopsticks and resorted to putting her face directly in the bowl to eat. She watched us with curiosity and perhaps confusion as we ate beside her, but eventually grew bored and wandered off down the street, bowl and chopsticks still in hand. We passed her a few more times that day, sitting on her small chair by the restaurant's entrance. (Guizhou, China)
Category 2: Social Issue
1st Place photo "Eying the Past" taken by Julia Duchon '10
A graffiti face overlooks the barren courtyard of Valparaiso's Ex-Carcel, an old prison that, during the Pinochet era, housed Chilean political prisoners, the majority of whom were youth. Today, the prison has been converted into an open and cultural space where Chileans can demonstrate their political freedom as well as their freedom of expression through art. The face, spray painted upon a wall that once hindered self-expression, shows the juxtaposition between Chile's politically constrained past and its current desire to break free from the past and embrace its freedom. (Valparaiso, Chile)

1st Place photo "Mirror Pond in the Fjordland featuring the Southern Alps" taken by Meri Tumilty '10
On the way to Milford Sound for a cruise through the Fjordlands in the Southwest corner of the southern island of New Zealand. This pond is called Mirror Pond and is reflecting part of the Southern Alps. The famous Milford Trek journeys through these mountains as well. (Te Anau, New Zealand)
Category 4: Study Abroad in Action
1st Place photo "Walking Among the Icy Clouds" taken by Brandon Castelino '10
In the frigid town of El Calafate in Patagonia lies the largest non-retreating glacier in the world - Perito Moreno. The world's third largest reserve of fresh water, students, including Brandon Castelino '10, and tourists alike are invited to hike on the glacier, seeing the ways the glacier collapses dramatically into the ocean while sampling the glacier's fresh and crystal clear blue water. (El Calafate, Argentina (Patagonia))

Futures higher ahead of Fed minutes release
Investors await the latest policy meeting details, which could shed light on when the central bank might begin to wind down its bond-buying program.
The release of the Federal Reserve's minutes from its latest policy meeting continues to be the markets' main driver. The minutes, to be released at 2:00 p.m. ET, should provide more insight into when the Fed will begin to cut back on its bond buying program.
In other news, the euro/dollar exchange rate finally reached above $1.34 as investors pulled their money out of emerging markets and into safer currencies.
The Japanese nuclear watchdog upgraded the severity level of a toxic water leak from a level one "anomaly" to a level three "serious incident." This will be the most serious warning since the Fukushima nuclear powerplant was rocked in 2011 by an earthquake and tsunami.
Also in the news:
- The UK posted its first deficit in three years in July.
- The Japanese government may revise plans to increase the nation's sales tax to 8% from 5% in April. Instead, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is considering raising the tax rate by one percentage point per year. However, BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda has backed the 3% increase in April, saying the Japanese economy is strong enough to support the originally planned tax hike.
- In an effort to coordinate financial supervision, Chinese authorities are setting up a new agency that will help the nation's current supervisors set up cross-asset financial products and streamline information sharing and accounting across financial sectors.
- On the campaign trail this week, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble said Greece will need more money to stay afloat than previously estimated in the nation's bailout agreement. Greece's financing gap has been swept under the rug by eurozone policymakers, and the IMF has already threatened to discontinue its financial support for the country if the EU doesn't address the issue.
Asian markets
Asian markets were mixed on the chance that the minutes will reveal the Fed will begin its tapering plan at the next meeting. Japan's NIKKEI index spent the night swinging between highs and lows but ended with a 0.21% increase. China's Shanghai composite was flat at the end of trade with just a 0.02% gain. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index ended 0.69% down and South Korea's KOSPI fell even more by 1.08%.
European markets
European markets were mostly lower in anticipation of the Fed minutes. Only France's CAC 40 Index had squeaked out a modest gain of 0.08% as of 8:35 GMT. The eurozone's overall STOXX600 index was down 0.11% while the London's FTSE 100 Index shed 0.45%.
Wall Street is backing off commodities as the end of easy stimulus money draws nearer and commodity prices across the board dropped. Brent futures for October fell 0.67% bringing the commodity's price below $110. WTI futures also sunk 0.53%. Metals suffered losses as well with gold dropping 0.75% to $1,362.30 per ounce and silver slipping 1.07% to $22.87 per ounce.
Currency markets were relatively quiet ahead of the Fed minutes. The euro/dollar rate pushed above $1.34 overnight but dipped back to $1.3389 by 8:50 GMT. The Yen gained early after news of Fukushima's radiation leak but steadied at 97.49 yen to the dollar. The pound/dollar exchange rate was little changed with the pound gaining just 0.05% against the dollar. Emerging market currencies like the Indian rupee and the Malaysian ringgit continued to tumble.
Earnings reported Tuesday
Notable companies that reported earnings on Tuesday included:
Analog Devices (ADI) reported third quarter revenue of $674.00 million with earnings per share of $0.57 vs. last year's earnings per share of $0.56 on $683.03 million worth of revenue.
Intuit (INTU) reported fourth quarter earnings per share of $0.00 vs last year's $0.03 earnings per share. The company's revenue fell short of estimates at $634.00 million
Home Depot (HD) reported second quarter earnings per share of $1.24, beating last year's earnings per share of $1.01. The company's revenue came in ahead of expectations at $22.52 billion.
Vanguard Health Systems (VHS) reported fourth quarter earnings in line with expectations at $0.18. The company reported revenue of $1.45 billion, which is equal to last year's reported revenue.
Premarket movers
Stocks moving in the premarket included:
Procter & Gamble (PG) rose 0.21% in premarket trade as the company lobbied in Brussels to ease limits on the company's teeth whitening products sold in the EU.
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) slipped 0.31% in premarket trade, which some worry could be the end of an impressive rebound.
General Motors (GM) fell 0.43% in premarket trade as rumors that new smog rules which could affect car sales in China could spell disaster for the company.
Notable companies expected to report earnings on Wednesday include:
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) is expected to report third quarter earnings per share of $0.86 on revenue of $27.25 billion, down from last year's earnings per share of $1.00 on revenue of $29.67 billion.
Lowe's Companies (LOW) is expected to report earnings per share of $0.78 vs. last year's earnings per share of $0.65. The company's revenue is expected to come in at $15.02 billion.
Staples (SPLS) is expected to report second quarter earnings per share of $0.18 on revenue of $5.39 billion, compared to last year's revenue of $5.50 billion.
Target (TGT) is expected to report second quarter earnings per share of $0.99, below last year's earnings per share of $1.06. The company's revenue is expected at $17.33 billion.
The main event on today's economic calendar is the release of the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy meeting minutes. The U.S. is also set to release another pool of data, including crude oil and gasoline inventories and existing home sales figures. China will release HSBC manufacturing PMI, and Australia will put out its CB leading index.

click image to zoomThe shot that helped Salon Pure clinch the NAHA Salon Team of the Year win in 2010. Photo by Ara Sassoonian. The judging for the 2014 North American Hairstyling Awards judging is now taking place. Have you ever thought about putting a team together in your salon? SALON TODAY talked to three owners who've successfully put together teams and won the prestigious NAHA Salon Team of the Year award for an inside look at the process.
Below, Anna Pacitto, co-owner (with Daniel Benoit) of Salon Pure in Montreal (NAHA Salon Team of the Year winner in 2002, 2007 and 2010) weighs in on her experience. Stay tuned for interviews with Allen Ruiz of Jackson Ruiz Salon and Steven Robertson of Lunatic Fringe Salon.
SALON TODAY: How did you choose who worked on your team? How many people were on the team?
Anna Pacitto: It is always difficult because we are a staff of about 80 at PURE (just hair), and so many have exceptional talent. My partner Daniel and I ask all interested to bring forward their ideas on a model, mood board or in a very visual or physical way—not just verbally. We than collectively analyze all the material and ideas.
Sometimes two to three people worked on one look. We usually produce seven to eight looks the day of the shoot, and then Daniel and I decide on the top five shots based on how well they look together as a whole. We all know there are no hard feelings—the end result counts and we use the other shots for other projects.
SALON TODAY: How soon before the deadline did you start developing your concept? What was your timeline like (hiring models, photographer, stylist, make-up, etc.)?
Pacitto: We start about six months before [with the idea process] but only get going right after the Christmas holiday, which is quite tight on the deadline, but we seem to work well under pressure.
In the team category, for all three wins we worked with our own in-house photographer, Ara Sassoonian, an in-house stylist and in-house make-up artists or a couple of artists we work with all the time for various projects, so that part is easy. We are connected to many model agencies and many models are our clients, so that isn't too difficult, either. I approve all models and I'm very difficult about the final choices.
SALON TODAY: Did you have a specific vision from the start that the team helped execute or was the whole team involved in the concept? What was your creative process like?
Pacitto: The whole team is involved, and like I said earlier, the process is very physical and not just ideas verbally expressed. We want photos, magazine tear sheets, videos, color swatches, actual cuts or styles on live models or fabrics or anything that renders the theme or mood, clearly.

911 RS America -- the sports car at its finest by jaybee on 02/08/2003. Trim: 1993 Porsche 911 RS America, Owned 6 years.
Pros: Incredible sports car -- nothing like it. The braking and handling are unmatched. German engineering at its finest. My car has been extremely reliable in >30k miles. This is a fantastic car for its purpose, a daily driver sports car without the softness of the Japanese boy racers.
Cons: 250hp is not what it was in 1993. Other than that, does everything it's supposed to exceptionally well. Ride is firm, and it lacks conveniences like cruise control, but that's the design -- pure sports car.
Overall review: Anyone (Toyota) can slap a turbo or two on a car (300ZX) and get a decent performer (RX-7), but the 911 was around long before these cars and will be around long after they are gone. A joy to drive and executed to perfection. After 5 1/2 years of ownership, I can't think of a single thing I would change. Ok, the base radio stinks -- throw it in the trash. That's it.

Safe medication levels for children
Recognizing the unmet need, Congress passed the Pediatric Exclusivity Provision under the FDA Modernization Act in 1997, allowing manufacturers an additional six months of patent protection for new drugs, if pediatric studies were conducted. Additionally, the Food & Drug Administration's "Pediatric Rule," mandated in 1998, required manufacturers to conduct pediatric studies if it was anticipated that a new drug might be widely used in children or if the new drug offered significant medical advantages over other available products. As a result of these initiatives, more than 200 studies in children have been launched, leading to the realization that drugs that are effective for adults do not always work well in children. As Benedetto Vitiello, M.D., a physician with the Child and Adolescent Treatment and Preventive Intervention Research Branch at the National Institute of Mental Health, recently said on PBS' "Frontline," "Children are not just young adults. They can react to medication in different ways. It is not safe to take information from adults and try to apply it to children."
Diabetes and cardiovascular disease
When most pharmacists think of Type 2 diabetes or cardiovascular disease, children are not usually the patients that come to mind. However, the incidence of these conditions is rising among young people, according to a recent report presented at the annual American Public Health Association meeting in Washington, D.C., which detailed a collaboration between Saint Louis University School of Medicine and School of Public Health as well as Express Scripts, the pharmacy benefits manager.
According to Emily Cox, Ph.D., R.Ph., a senior research director at Express Scripts, "From our data, metformin accounts for 83% of all oral hypoglycemic drugs prescribed to adolescents." Why the sharp increase in use of hypoglycemics among female youngsters? "Without further research, conclusions can't be made about the unusual trend of such a large rate of increase in Type 2 diabetic medications in girls and not boys," said Cox, but she speculated, "the magnitude of increase in female use over males may be due to differing rates of screening, office visits, and medication compliance."

Increasing tax credits and transitioning the state vehicles to use natural gas and propane are among recommendations issued Feb. 21 by the Governor's Natural Gas Vehicle Task Force.
"We have the opportunity to reinvest in our own economy, provide drivers with lower costs at the pump as well as support the establishment of more good-paying jobs for West Virginians — all by using a clean burning energy source harvested right here at home," said Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin on receiving the report.
Tomblin established the 21-member board of public and private industry experts in June 2012 to come up with recommendations for increasing the use of the state's growing natural gas production as a transportation fuel.
The task force identified a chicken-and-egg problem inherent in transitioning to any new fuel.
"Infrastructure developers want to see demand by numerous vehicles needing the fuel, but the would-be purchasers of the vehicles require the infrastructure in place first," the report reads.
Other challenges, are identified as well, including the need to tax natural gas as a motor fuel in the same way that gasoline is taxed in order to maintain the state Department of Transportation road fund.
Among the task force's 16 recommendations:
The task force also recommended that a transition team be formed to monitor technology and economic issues and make further recommendations.
