Julie Henderson is a face to watch. The Texan, who has skimpily graced the pages of Sports Illustrated (she holds the record for the longest consecutive appearances in the mag), was in town for Swim Week showing off some swimsuit designs of her own for Basta Surf. We found out what makes the current New Yorker tick:
How did you begin your career?
I started locally in Houston until I was scouted at 16. Then I was back and forth to New York until I finished school and moved to Paris.
Do you have a favorite assignment?
After seven years with Sports Illustrated we have become a little family and get to see the coolest parts of the world.
Do you have anywhere you'd kill to travel to?
My bucket list of places to go is so long, but my top three would be India, Southeast Asia and a safari in Africa.
Did anything ever crazy happen while on assignment?
I once was shooting in Venice and a pigeon pooped on my head! They say it's good luck, but it didn't feel like good luck to me.
What advice would you give people getting into the industry?
Stay true to yourself and don't let anyone get you down.
How do you stay trim?
I try to keep everything in proportion. I don't deprive myself of foods I love, and I don't do crazy fad diets. I mix up my exercise to keep me motivated, from yoga to running through Central Park or on the beach.
What is your favorite type of workout?
Is laying on the beach a workout?! Joking. I truly enjoy boxing. It's fun, and if you've had a stressful day, it helps.
If you have a cheat day what do you eat?
Mexican, Mexican, Mexican. Who doesn't love a good Mexican meal?

Why artists don't finish commissions.
Almost anyone who's bought their weight in commissioned art has run into a flaky artist or two. Many have even forked out cash only to have an artist take it and run without fulfilling their end of the bargain.
This is a super discouraging experience and does hurt the amateur online market quite a bit. However, there are ways of spotting a flake and avoiding them. Understanding what might cause an artist to drag their feet on a commission can help.
The following is in no way a defense for artists who do provide poor business, there's no excuse for petty thievery such as taking money for a service without ever delivering said service. It's a shabby thing to do, regardless of the circumstances.
The following are just a small handful of things I had experienced/observed as both an artist and a client.
With that said, here are some reasons why artists don't finish commissions:
1) Poor work ethic and procrastination.
Lets get the obvious out of the way first. There are some artists, young and old, who for what ever reason just can't discipline themselves into completing paid work. The image could be something they are totally interested in, but as soon as they're told it's 'work' their heels dig into the ground and they may lack the discipline it takes to get around that. I think most of us have felt this at one point or another. We may put the task off day after day until the guilt of not doing it piles up until the task feels gargantuan. At which point, some artists will shut down, cut their losses, and hope quietly that the client won't inquire anymore.
As a potential client, take a look at the artist's queue. Do they have a billion incomplete art trades? Have they posted any commission work prior? If they have, do any of the comments mention "Sorry this took so long!" or "Thank you for being so patient!" Alternatively, has the artist posted many status reports explaining en masse why they hadn't gotten around to doing their current commission queue yet? These can serve as some telling red flags.
2) Uninteresting/overly challenging/overly specific image request.
A proper freelance artist will have no problem over coming this hurdle. But for greener artists, this tends to be a big issue. They'll accept a job that's more than they can chew, or is simply 'dull' to their taste, or saps all the 'fun' out by overly specific detailing in the client's request. The artist, if they have poor experience dealing with such things, might find themselves avoiding the task—and again procrastination becomes an issue. Alternatively, they'll complete the image eventually, but the result might be lack luster.
If you're going to commission fresh artists, especially artists who rarely appear to work outside their comfort zone, then it might help to commission them only if you have an idea in mind that sits in line with the rest of the work they've done. Heck, even the seasoned artists tend to put a little more 'oomph' into commissions that fall in line with their interests. It can't be helped, really. As a general rule of thumb, try to find artists who's personal tastes correlates best with the ideas you have in mind and try to trust the artist enough to provide them some creative leeway. A lot of folks tend to commission artists based on their skill and style rather than their overall tastes, which often works out fine, but can occasionally lead to disappointment for the client.
3) Enormous queues.
I have friends guilty of this! And while as a business person, racking up gigantic queues of clients who've already paid makes plenty sense (especially when they're quite confident they'll finish), it can be frusterating for a client to figure out after paying that they might not get their commission for another year because they're #56 on the queue. The artist may be 150% competent and get the image done eventually, but it's nerve wracking for the client who's sitting there hoping for several months on end that the artist doesn't lose steam, or that something doesn't unexpectedly crop up to prevent the artist from completing their work. And for more impatient/unsavvy customers or in the case of poor artist/client communication, the long wait could be simply interpreted as the artist ditching their commission and accusations may arise.
It has happened (there's been one very recent case) were an artist managed to acquire an enormous queue of pre-paying customers—and after a year or two of radio silence, the artist had to admit defeat. That generated quite a few angry and vocal would-be clients.
As a client, if an artist's queue appears absolutely swamped; if you look at it and think, 'there's no way I'd be able to get through all that…' perhaps it'd be best to hold onto you cash and wait until a time when they've got less on their plate.
4) Sometimes life just happens.
There are occasions when the sky just happens to be volatile and takes the opportunity to fall on a person's head. When this person is an artist you're commissioning, it's hard not to feel frustrated. Injury, illness, a death in the family, the destruction/loss of critical art making equipment, a sudden influx of bollocks at work, a catastrophic financial falling out, these may all lead to an artist not getting their work done as they should. Be weary of the artist who makes a routine of using these excuses, but try to compromise with the artist who may very well be truthful in their claims. Compromise does not, however, mean the artist takes all. If an artist seems completely unwilling to provide any consolation for being unable to complete your paid work, that's not right. They might not have had control over their situation, but neither did you. At the very least, they should provide you a refund. In the case of some kind of financial disaster, they should offer to stay in contact with you until the waters have calmed. Over all, it sucks when life hits hard and there's really no way to account for or avoid this one.
Again, if the artist appears to be turbulent, using shabby life happenstance as a constant reason why they can't get work done, it might be safer as a client to take your business elsewhere, at least until things appear to have calmed down for the artist.
All in all
Research an artists' history before you decide to dump some money on them. A little bit of diligence as a client might save you a lot of headache. If you can't find any prior history, just watch their activity for a while before deciding if they appear reliable enough to do business with. Commission work online is more or less the internet's equivalent of an amateur market. An artist doesn't have to be a disciplined professional to offer commissions on their website, many of them are very new to the world of business and haven't quite found their groove. As a client, there is a certain amount of responsibility you owe yourself to make sure you don't throw your money away for nothing. As an artist, you owe it to your peers to be honest with yourself and only offer services you know you can provide.
Cheers and happy commissioning!

Summer Camp Appeal
The CYO Summer Camp Appeal affords needy children the opportunity to spend time at our Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr. Day Camp in Harlem or the Fr. Drumgoole-Connelly Summer Camp located at Mount Loretto on Staten Island.

The generosity exemplified by our donors to the Summer Camp Appeal helps CYO continue to offer children and teens this unique summer experience.
Contributions to support CYO's programs are vital.

CYO programs encourage all children, regardless of family income level, race or nationality, to participate fully in the sports programs, camping adventures and spiritual activities. Gifts of all levels make a difference in the lives of so many children.

Well, this may be on the obvious side, but have you tried actually talking to the maid about this and asking her about it?
I mean, in all seriousness, shouldn't this be the first step? If it's something innocent, then you don't have to worry. If it's something that constitutes a breach of professionalism, then your boyfriend should be made aware of it.

Amarillo, TX- A toy is causing serious concern for doctors because if swallowed it can cause death.
Water Balz a colored ball is advertised as a fun thing to throw, with endless possibilities as they grow before your eyes.
They start off smaller than a marble, but after soaking in water can grow much larger, and if swallowed by a curious child, can pose a serious risk.
"If it expands large enough to block the intestine then food cannot pass so they end up getting a build up of gas and food, they can start vomiting. If it expands large enough it can actually perforate or tear the intestine open, and then your gastric contents spill out into the abdomen," said Dr. Jeanie Jaramillo, with the Panhandle Poison Center.
Jaramillo says it may be difficult to know your child has swallowed one until they start having symptoms, like vomiting, so it is best to be proactive by keeping these toys away from young children.
"These particular toys do have a warning that they are only for children over the age of three but these toys get out, we leave them out at home and anyone is liable to get in to them, toddler are always exploring and they are exploring with their mouth,' added Jaramillo.
If you suspect your child swallowed one of these toys, Jaramillo says to call Poison Control for help or seek medical attention before it has a chance to expand and causes serious damage.

Multimedia Tour
Alaska's wild lands are under attack. Alaska contains over 200 million acres of federal public lands – lands owned by each and every American. Alaska's public lands offer incredible wildlife habitat, opportunities for solitude, and spectacular scenery. The diverse ecosystems of our wild places in Alaska range from temperate coastal rainforest – with its grizzly bears, wild salmon runs, and old growth trees – to America's Arctic, habitat for all of America's polar bears, endangered bowhead whales, and migratory caribou.
This extraordinary treasure trove of lands, set aside decades ago to be protected now and in perpetuity for the benefit of the American people, is in severe danger of being destroyed forever by short-sighted politicians and the extractive industries. They want only the resources these pristine areas can provide, regardless of the resulting devastation to the habitat, wildlife, and local cultures.
The League is currently producing online videos to highlight and educate the public about our campaign areas. We'll update this page with each new video as it's completed. Keep checking back!

It's football season. We cheer football players around the country as they test their strength and determination at every game. Many Make-A-Wish kids are football fans who watch in admiration as athletes rise to the challenge. And their wishes … anything from a touch football game to attending the Super Bowl. Read more ...
In last week's blog post – Detroit Lions' tight end Joseph Fauria completed Jimmy Fallon's N'sync dance challenge raising $10,000 for Make-A-Wish – we thanked Fauria, Fallon and Justin Timberlake for the contribution. This week, we thank the many generous community members, students, professional athletes, coaches and other long-time fans who have helped our wish kids see their greatest football wish come true.
A Touch Football Game with Mickey Mouse
For 4-year-old Kaden living with a life-threatening autoimmune disorder, there could be nothing better than mixing his favorite sport with his favorite Disney character. Kaden wished to play football with Mickey Mouse. Walt Disney Company, Walt Disney World® Resort cast members, Tyler Junior College students and professors and Make-A-Wish North Texas volunteers stepped up to make his wish experience the best day possible. "They will probably never know how much this meant to our son, and how much it meant to us to know that there are people out there who are willing to give so much and expect nothing in return," said Kaden's mom.
NCAA Football with "the Red Team"
When McClain wished to play football with real football players, the USC Trojans football team did everything they could to make a great experience for him. Everyone from the players, coaches and USC staff came together to welcome McClain onto the field. Upon hearing a Make-A-Wish kid was visiting, Kyle Negrete said, "Give me his number. I want to make this day as special as possible." He tossed the ball around with Kyle and the rest of the team. He even stood on the sidelines of the field with his USC jersey on during the game. "It was way above what we expected would happen," said McClain's dad. "This is a day that he'll cherish forever."
Arena Football: Mick & the Pittsburgh Power colors
Mick received a phone call from Head Coach Siegried of the Pittsburgh Power arena football team with a contract offer to play – his wish come true. The Arena Football League and the Pittsburgh Power team made it official with a press conference to seal the deal. Instead of worrying about his life-threatening medical condition, Mick runs practice drills with his favorite team then dons his black and gold jersey ready for the game. Even the Pittsburgh Power fans became involved in his wish asking the new football star for his autograph. The experience empowers Mick as his motivation to overcome the trials of his condition. In addition to the AFL, Make-A-Wish thanks Carla Leo and Doug Kunst for producing Mick's wish video.
NFL Football: Anna & the Green Bay Packers
"We hear you have a special wish and we are here to make it come true," said Aaron Rodgers and Al Harris, NFL's Green Bay Packers players, in a surprise video message for 13-year-old Anna. After surviving a heart transplant, Anna makes a trip to meet her favorite team at Lambeau Field. She huddles with the team at practice, talks to Aaron Rodgers and has lunch with Al Harris. Anna leaves the field not only with a great experience and signed paraphernalia, but also with a renewed sense of hope for the future. At Make-A-Wish we thank all the NFL teams that have helped grant wishes and ESPN's "My Wish" series for highlighting our sports related wishes.
The Super Bowl: Noah at "the Big Game"
The roar of the stadium and the adrenaline rush of the biggest sporting event of the year for football fans - this is Noah's wish. He attends Super Bowl XLVI with his best friend Eli. They stand in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indiana. Together, they watch as the New York Giants beat the New England Patriots 21-7. Together, they find the enthusiasm to stay strong as Noah tackles leukemia. Every year, Make-A-Wish is able to send wish kids to the Super Bowl with the support of the NFL and other generous individuals donating airline miles, cash and their time.
For its endurance and strength, football will continue to catch the attention of wish kids across the country as they strive to their end zones of recovery. And with your help our Make-A-Wish team can continue to grant football wishes. Join us as we enjoy the season along with our wish families.
Wish Nation gives you a behind-the-scenes look at Make-A-Wish®. See how wishes come together and how they change lives forever. Hear directly from those who work or volunteer here, or those who have been transformed by a wish. And learn why we are so committed to someday granting the wish of every eligible child, every year.We want to hear from you.We moderate our communities by only one rule: Be nice. We welcome different views - just keep it courteous and considerate. Thanks for connecting.

IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Cowboys signed former Jacksonville Jaguars safety Gerald Sensabaugh to a one-year contract Tuesday.
Dallas Cowboys
2008 Statistics
Games/Starts: 16/13
Tackles: 70

Financial terms of the deal weren't released.
The Cowboys' Web site and The Dallas Morning News reported the signing.
Sensabaugh started 13 games for Jacksonville last season and had a team-leading four interceptions. In Dallas, he could replace five-time Pro Bowl safety Roy Williams, who was released last week.
Sensabaugh played for Cowboys defensive backs coach Dave Campo, who was the secondary coach in Jacksonville from 2005 to 2007. Sensabaugh also will be reunited with special teams coach Joe DeCamillis, who came to the Cowboys from the Jaguars in 2008.

Blues trump Bruins for second time this season
The Ducks and Blackhawks have received all of the attention in the Western Conference, but for the second time this season, the Blues showed the Bruins why they are on the short list of serious Cup contenders in the NHL. St. Louis (38-12-6) went up, 2-0, blew that lead in the third period to Boston (36-16-4), but erased that bad taste with T.J. Oshie's overtime goal. The Blues beat the Bruins, 3-2, at Scottrade Center Thursday, this on the heels of their 3-2 shootout victory at TD Garden on Nov. 21.
Alexander Steen opened the scoring with his 28th goal of the season (fourth best in the NHL) late in the first period. St. Louis was 31-1-4 this season when they scored first. Promising youngster Jaden Schwartz made it 2-0 with a shot through traffic by Tuukka Rask (24 saves). Boston had been 0-14 this season when it trailed by 2-plus goals. The Bruins were down 2-0 after two periods despite outshooting the Blues, 24-18, in the game and 13-9 in the second.
Jaroslav Halak (36 saves) has been shaky this season holding leads in third periods and Boston put all the pressure on him when David Krejci cut it to 2-1 midway through the third. A little more than two minutes later, Brad Marchand tied it after a juicy rebound by Halak. The Bruins had been 4-0 in overtime this season (the last unbeaten team) but Oshie took advantage of a turnover by Carl Soderberg behind Boston's net to jam it in.
The final game for the Bruins before the Olympic break is Saturday (3 p.m., NESN) at TD Garden vs. Ottawa (26-21-11). Going into two and a half weeks off, Boston will be up at least five points on second place Tampa Bay in the Atlantic Division and as much as nine points.
What they'll be saying: The Blues are remarkably similar to the Bruins: big, deep and sound defensively. The main difference lies in goal where Rask is superior to Halak even though he lost both head-to-head matchups. The only way they could meet again is in the Stanley Cup Final, keep in mind this win improved St. Louis' record vs. Eastern Conference teams to 18-4-2.
I try to avoid complaining about the referees but two things that went against Boston Thursday were tough to accept. In the first period, Loui Eriksson took a high stick to the mouth that caused him to bleed and go to the dressing room for stitches. That should have been a four-minute power play for the Bruins. In the second period, when the Blues led 2-0 Halak was handcuffed by the puck and couldn't cover it up yet the refs whistled the play dead for a face-off.
This was the first of two games that the Bruins will play without the services of irreplaceable defenseman Zdeno Chara. It was a major test for Johnny Boychuk (298 career NHL games) and the five other defensemen (who combined for 230 games), though you have to say that they were fine for the most part. Granted that Kevan Miller and David Warsofsky were both minus-2, but Torey Krug had an assist.
Bruins head coach Claude Julien and Blues head coach Ken Hitchcock are both assistants on Team Canada so you can bet this game will come up during their down time in Russia in the next few weeks.

Alvin Ho: Allergic to Girls, School, and Other Scary Things (2008)
by Lenore Look
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
***Listened to audiobook***
Loved it! See notes in other Alvin Ho book.
Alvin is a very shy child at school. He has trouble talking in class and to his peers when in school. He creates a box that he calls his PDK which is full of things that will help him get through his days at school.
In this first book in the series, Alvin is a Chinese American second grader who has a lot of fears, especially related to school. He finds himself unable to speak in school, though he is quite talkative and inquisitive at home. He splits his time between navigating the perils of school and recess and getting himself into sticky situations. Over the course of the book, Alvin learns that while he might not fit in with everyone, he has many people in his life that look out for him.
There are a lot of good things going for this book. It is nice to see a chapter book about an average kid who just happens to be Asian American to supplement books where multiculturalism is a central theme. The inclusion of Alvin's therapy without it being a focus could be a good way to reduce the stigma that people may have toward mental healthcare. The book is also very funny, especially the glossary in the back that provides both real definitions and ones personalized by Alvin. Occasionally the voice seems to be too mature for the second grade protagonist, but it is still an enjoyable book for elementary schoolers.
Alvin Ho is in second grade and is afraid of everything, I mean everything. In fact he's so afraid of school, he doesn't speak a word while he's there. His fears often find him in curious situations, like the time he brought his Dad's coolest game to show and tell without asking or when he yelled shakespearean curses at the girl next door. In this early chapter book, the narrative is told from Alvin's perspective. Alvin's authentic reactions and captivating narrative voice makes the reader understand what it feels like to be afraid of everything. Drawn illustrations are included on many of the pages that depict the world as Alvin sees it. Despite Alvin's collection of fears, he is a normal second grade boy who just happens to be Chinese American. A glossary is included in the back of the book that define Chinese words used in the text such as gungung and yehyeh, meaning paternal and maternal grandfather. English words and names are also included such as Beethoven and bratwurst. This book is strongly recommended for purchase in a school or public library. (Ages 7-11)
Ages 7-10.
Second grader Alvin Ho loves putting on a cape and imagining he is the superhero Firecracker man. Alvin has one problem: he's afraid of just about everything. At school, Alvin just can't seem to speak, no matter how hard he tries. With the help of his Dad and big brother, Alvin decides to overcome his fears and find friends.
Look's story balances a compassion for Alvin's social anxiety with humor. Readers feel sympathy for Alvin's problem, but also see that Alvin's unique perspective gives him a marvelous imagination. He doodles escape routes and flies with Johnny Astro. He even hurls mild Shakespearean insults at his psychotherapist, which Dad explains is not appropriate.
Readers with some transitional chapter book experience will feel successful with Alvin Ho. Chapter titles hint at what is coming next. A maximum of 22 lines per page, and lines with 1.5 spacing between them, allow readers to take in the text with ease. A glossary in Alvin's voice includes the names famous authors from Alvin's hometown Concord, MA, the Chinese names of his grandparents, and tricky vocabulary.
The book's ending is hopeful for Alvin, yet realistic and believable. Fortunately for readers, Alvin Ho has sequels in store. Recommended.

But at home he's a very loud superhero named Firecracker Man, a brother to Calvin and Anibelly, and a gentleman-in-training, so he can be just like his dad.

Cops in Oakland County, Michigan, have made an arrest in a caught-on-camera break-in attempt at the home of Kid Rock on Wednesday, according to the Detroit Free Press .
Tips apparently led investigators right to the unidentified 43-year-old suspect, who was spotted on surveillance video using his 1994 minivan to ram through the front gate of the star's home before dismounting on crutches to try his luck on the doors.
The would-be thief didn't get into the home, and according to the star himself, he's lucky he didn't. "Thank God I was not on the property at the time of this attempted break-in," he posted on his website -- along with an offer for a five-thousand-dollar reward. "I am an avid hunter and marksman and I will not hesitate to shoot anyone who has myself or family in fear for our lives."
Kid Rock posted a simple update Saturday, reading, "Suspect Apprehended!"

All-Americans Orji and Ball Lead MIT to Ninth Overall at NCAA Championships
March 13, 2005
Orji enjoyed a national championship for the second year in a row, although the junior from
Orji also competed in the shot put. Although he failed to equal his record-breaking toss from last season, Orji offered his second-best throw of the season (56'3.75") to finish fourth overall and earn five more points for the Engineers. Orji's mark in the shot fell shy of third place by one centimeter.
Nate Ball capped the scoring for MIT with a seventh-place effort in the pole vault. Ball re-set his Institute record after vaulting 16'1.25" on his second attempt at that height. Ball had three chances at 16'5.25", but fell short in his bid to move up in the standings.
Both Orji and Ball copped All-America accolades with their performances. Ball secured his first national honor, while Orji earned his fifth and sixth All-America citation.

An Informed Customer is a Smart Customer
By TONY FUNDERBURG
There are many factors involved when choosing a charter bus company and price should not be the #1 factor. Safety, quality, insurance and adhering to government relations are at the top of the list when considering your travel company.

Think of a safety blitz as seeking confirmation that bus operators are in compliance, or non-compliant, with your standard operating procedures during an unannounced "spot check" of a specific skill set.
The American energy revolution. The digital app boom. The manufacturing renaissance. As undersecretary of Commerce for International Trade, I also have a profound appreciation for an export sector that doesn't get as much attention: travel and tourism.
German soccer champion Bayern Munich unveiled their new team bus with the help of a magician and much fanfare.
Each year tens of millions of tourists visit destinations in North America as groups on motorcoach trips. The American Bus Association is proud to announce two spectacular 2015 events as the winners in the ABA's 34th annual Top 100 Events in North America.
It seems as though more and more countries are looking to jump onto the craft beer bandwagon.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (Feb. 27, 2013) – The Rutgers softball team travels to Fairfax, Va., this weekend to compete against three schools at the Patriot Classic, hosted by George Mason. RU (2-3) begins its tournament action against the Patriots at 6 p.m. Friday, March 1, before taking on Cornell and in-state foe Rider at the George Mason Softball Complex.
The Scarlet Knights will play five games in total, competing in doubleheaders on Saturday, March 2 and Sunday, March 3. RU will open with Rider (2:30 p.m.) on Saturday before once again taking on George Mason (4:30 p.m.). The squad wraps up the tourney on Sunday with Cornell (9:00 a.m.) and a third meeting with George Mason (11:15 a.m.).
RU enters the tournament after going 2-3 at the UTSA Classic to kick of the 2013 season. The Scarlet Knights won, 9-2, against Boise State in their final contest in San Antonio, Texas. Sophomore lefthander Alyssa Landrith (Vacaville, Calif.) recorded her second complete game of the season while also guiding the Scarlet Knights to their second victory.
At the plate, junior outfielder Loren Williams (Los Angeles, Calif.) maintained her torrid hitting pace, going 2-4 with two runs and two RBIs. Named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll last week, Williams leads RU with a .467 batting average, .533 slugging percentage, five runs scored and seven hits.
George Mason (2-4) returns home to host the Patriot Classic after splitting two games at the USC Upstate Tournament. The Patriots won their opening contest, 3-1, against Winthrop, but dropped an 8-0 decision to USC Upstate to close the tournament. The squad was slated to play two more games on the weekend, but both were cancelled due to inclement weather.
Patriots' senior Megan Blank paces the team a .364 batting average, while Christina Gabriele (1.00) and Casey Herring (1.47) each boast ERAs under 2.00.
The Scarlet Knights' game against Rider marks the 46th meeting between the two schools and first since 2009. The Broncs travel to Virginia after posting a 1-3 record at the Hampton Inn Pirate Classic, with their most recent contest resulting in an 8-0 loss to Ohio University.
A trio of underclassmen in Allysen Breeden (sophomore), Amanda Irving (sophomore) and Dana Sensi (freshman) spearhead the Rider bats, as all three are hitting .300 or better through four games.
Cornell, which finished second in the Ivy League's South Division last season, will see its first action of 2013 at the Patriot Classic. The Big Red maintain a dangerous lineup heading into 2013, with the squad's leading hitters, Kristen Towne and Lauren Bucolo, returning to Ithaca, N.Y., after guiding the Big Red to a 25-23 record last season. The two hit .304 and .297, respectively, combining for 10 home runs and 43 RBIs.
Cornell also enters with one of the biggest bats in the Ivy League in junior Jenny Edwards. Edwards tied for first in the conference with nine home runs last season, and finished tied for fourth with 27 RBIs.

A few weeks ago, German tuner 9ff unveiled the GTurbo tuning package, but while the most powerful version developed 1,000 HP, 9ff pulled the GTurbo 1200 straight out of a hat during the Essen Motorshow. For those not packing much common sense, that's a model developing a spectacular 1,200 HP.
The GTurbo 1200 is based on a Porsche GT2 model, but is modified to be made lighter. There are a series of carbon fiber elements, along side and rear windows that have been replaced by Macrolon items. There is also a new set of 19" wheels.
After 9ff added titanium connecting rods, 9ff cylinder head with bigger valves and ports, 9ff camshafts, and 130mm intercoolers, the twin-turbo engine now develops an impressive 1200 HP and 1100 NM of torque. The car can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds and will hit an impressive 248 mph. The whole package is finished by a new titanium exhaust system that has adjustable valves for a quiet, sportier sound. The car is currently available for sale at a price of 219,000 euro (around $285,000).
UPDATE 12/13/2010: The monsieur's over at OptionAuto were given the chance to take the 9ff GTurbo 1200 for a test run – lucky, lucky, lucky – and did they take the hammer down on this bad boy, documenting the whole escapade in a five-part video that you can find after the jump.
Specifications after the jump.

Great shoe for wandering
Overall Product Rating (5 out of 5)
5/24/2014 By Anonymous
I found three flexible-soled leather shoes that do not look like athletic shoes; reviews for the other two, both significantly more expensive, cast doubt on the durability of their flexible soles. With a walk-intensive vacation looming, I decided on the Hush Puppies Accel oxfords, and I am glad I did. I wear them with jeans, travel pants, and khakis/chinos. I like their bit of oxford-moccasin crossover style. The textured, fairly soft leather has adapted to Life as My Shoes in the two months I've owned them, and, while the shoes are still eminently presentable, they seem to say, "I'm not super-dressy, but I'm sure comfortable." On a kinesiologist's advice, I've been wearing more flexible soles for the last few years, and it has helped my troubled feet. These shoes are no exception; I spent two weeks walking extensively on the cobblestones and sidewalks of old cities and on archaeological sites on the aforementioned vacation, with surprisingly little discomfort. One caveat--I wear thin neoprene foam insoles in all my shoes for a bit of extra padding, including these shoes. Traction is excellent. I've felt sure-footed, even on uneven rock outcrops polished smooth by countless feet, where I saw more than one person slip. It's almost too good; in a couple of careless moments the ridges almost caught on the ridged nonslip edging they put on some stairs. However, this was fleeting, and not significant enough to make me stumble or lose my balance. They've held up well thus far. The soles show little wear and the uppers are in fine shape. The suede still looks good. I've polished the smooth leather with a neutral polish to avoid discoloring the contrasting stitching, and after a day of dusty walking a quick brushing restores them to respectability.

"But how can we escape?" he asked, suddenly. "They are invulnerable, they are pitiless."
"Neither the one nor, perhaps, the other," I answered. "And the mightier they are the more sane and wary should we be. One of them was killed yonder not three hours ago."
"Killed!" he said, staring about him. "How can God's ministers be killed?"
"I saw it happen." I proceeded to tell him. "We have chanced to come in for the thick of it," said I, "and that is all."

January through March Mod and Indie Game 2010 Releases.
Article Posted by Henley on Nov 21st, 2010
The first quarter of 2010 was quite busy for ModDB, we had our 2009 MOTY awards ending as well as our Divinity 2 concept art competition, traffic was high and the releases were quite varied and unique. January was riding off the excitement and buzz of the MOTY with a very large month of featured releases (twelve to be exact). With a slow decline of releases in February and March. The quality however never dwindled, with some huge releases coming out and amazing modding fans all over the globe.
Company of Heroes: Eastern Front surprised everyone when they released in January 2010 with a brand new faction in Company of Heroes that has never been done before. A trail blazer if there was any!
Human Error is a well polished well planned mod that follows the story of a handful of Combine Soldiers in the Half-Life universe. More then just a simple corridor shooter Half-Life mods have known to become.
Kingdoms Collide a multiplayer third person melee experience that lays the fantasy on think giving players choice on how they wish to fight and the skills they want to develop.

the MOTY really is the Q4 review. Only downfall to this is mods released after the top 100 is announced will have to wait until the 2011 MOTY to qualify for best "released mod".
We are opening to discussing this with teams who are doing a late release
At least, it will not end in Febuary 2011, like the last years.
Should put Galactopticon up, that's quality modding.
Now this " quarterly review " news is handy as hell.
Time passes so quickly and with so many projects to play and track combined with everyday life, I forget all too soon which ones I intended to play and shamefully lose track of them all together.
This will serve nicely as my ModDB " post-it" note !
Fantastic work!
Watch the "Related" Parts Oo
Where is nightmere house 2!!!
Situation Outbreak will live on. Muahahaha...
i see C&C 3's "the forgotten" has been fittingly forgotten
(^_^) I clap for Platinum Arts Sandbox.

Red Engine Cayenne Skinny Jeans 130 130
way too tight Great fabric and very comfortable, but I need to send these back. They go on, but they are too tight all over. Too low and too "young" for me. September 17, 2014
Beautifull Green Jeans What a beautiful color. But, unfortunately, I could not figure out the sizing before they were all gone. This was the 1st time I bought Red Engine.. Most pants are too big in size 6, size 4 is usually right. I ordered the 28 to allow a little extra and they were TIGHT. I uses the charts available but it did not work for me. Too bad as these were fabulous in so many ways. I am disappointed! Recommend with qualifications. September 14, 2014
great jeans everything about these jeans is great except they do not have a short or petite size and therefore I have to pay additional to have them shortened!! They are soft and fit very comfortably. September 4, 2014
adore these jeans a perfect fit with stretch enough to show off my legs. September 3, 2014
good fitting skinnies OK, people are buying these expensive jeans, so there must be something extra on them, right? I got them on little sale, but still think they are overpriced. But I am going to keep them, I love the dark indigo color and the length, I am a tall person. I wear GH 10, these fit me in 12, they might be OK even in 14, they contour the body very well. September 2, 2014
Best jeans ever! I purchased two of these Cayenne jeans with the recent sale, and have to say they are my favorite brand of jeans! These skinny jeans are so soft and comfortable, even for a skinny jean! I do agree with a previous reviewer, the summer stripe runs a little bit. I ordered both summer stripe and emerald in size 29, the emerald fit perfectly, but had to return the summer stripe for a size 28, which now also fits perfectly! All in all, great jeans!

We have all wondered:"How does chemo work anyway?". We see the dramatic results as our hair falls out, our heads ache, our stomachs revolt, and we want to nap. There is absolutely no correlation between the intensity of side effects and the efficacy of the treatment, but it surely feels as though something big must be happening.
The standard answer is that chemo kills fast growing cells. This phrase explains several things: why our hair falls out and we may get mouth sore (all fast growing cells there), why the treatment schedules are what they are (to match with blood counts that are also speedy cells), and why chemotherapy works especially well with more aggressive cells and is less helpful for slow-growing cancers. It turns out that there is at least one other explanation for chemo's frequent success--warning you here that this one is more scientifically complicated.
Here is a quote from the NCI Bulletin and a link to read more:
Busting a Myth about How Chemotherapy Works
"Chemotherapy has cured millions of people, but we don't know why it works," Dr. Letai said.
In recent years, however, an alternative explanation for how chemotherapy works has emerged from
studies of mitochondria, the energy-producing organelles of cells. Mitochondria, it turns out, also play a
role in a form of cell death known as apoptosis; this biologic process allows cells to "commit suicide" rather
than to pass abnormalities on to the next generation of cells.
Building on this work, Dr. Letai and his colleagues recently demonstrated that some cancer cells are "more
ready" to commit suicide through the apoptotic pathway than others, at least in the lab. Differences in this
state of readiness—which the researchers call "priming"—may help explain the different responses patients
have to chemotherapy, the researchers concluded.

People just don't trust Congress.
That is just one implication of a recent Gallup poll that shows only 10 percent of respondents said Congress has very high or high honesty and ethical standards, second only to car salespeople. Nurses, on the other hand, are the most trusted according to the study. About 85 percent of respondents said nurses have high ethical standards.
Gallup surmises the negotiations over fiscal cliff could be partially to blame for Americans' views of Congress.
"As Congress remains involved in protracted negotiations over the pending 'fiscal cliff' that could disrupt the nation's economy if not addressed by Jan. 1, one in 10 Americans rate the honesty and ethical standards of its members has high or very high," according to Gallup. "This puts the lawmaking body second lowest on a list of 22 professions measured."
The survey was conducted Nov. 26-29 and asked respondents to rate each of those 22 professions on a five-point honesty and ethical scale from "very high" to "very low." Perceptions of the 22 professions varied widely – from a high of 85 percent who rate nurses' ethics and honesty very high, to a low of 8 percent who viewed car salespeople as honest and ethical.
Gallup has rated each of the professions for 15 years, and Congress rarely ranks much higher on the list. The high point for Congress came in November 2001 when 25 percent of Americans rated their honest and ethical standards as high or very high. However, only 7 percent of respondents rated Congress' ethics and honesty as high or very high, a record low. People tend to trust members of the Senate over those in the House of Representatives.
"Senators and state governors receive slightly higher honesty ratings than members of Congress do, as is typical," according to Gallup. "The highest honest rating for senators was 25 percent in November 2001. State governors were not rated in 2001, but their highest rating was 31 percent in 2000."
State governors were rated at 20 percent this year and senators came in at 14 percent.
Of the six medical professions rated, nurses, pharmacists and medical doctors were ranked as the top three. Pharmacists were rated 75 percent while doctors came in at 70 percent. According to Gallup, nurses have scored at the top every year since they were first included in the list in 1999. The honesty ratings of the three professions are at all-time highs, though by slim margins. Doctors' 70 percent honesty rating is the same as last year's, but up from the low of 47 percent in the mid-1990s. Nurses are up one point from their previous high and pharmacists are two points higher than their previous record. Pharmacists once topped the list before Gallup began including nurses.
Dentists are also tied with their 2011 score at 62 percent. Psychiatrists, 41 percent, and chiropractors, 38 percent, have the lowest ratings among medical professionals although both are above the median for the 22 professions ranked and are at their highest levels in Gallup history.
On the business side, neither executives nor bankers score highly on a relative basis, but scores for both professions are up over 2011. According to Gallup, bankers received a 37 percent score in 2000 and 2006, but their perceived honesty plummeted after the 2008 financial crisis to a low 19 percent. Business executives have never scored particularly high on the scale, according to Gallup, with ratings ranging from a high of 25 percent in 2001 to a low of 12 percent in 2008 and 2009.
The engineering sector is seeing a rise in trust. Gallup does not often test the perceived honesty of engineers, but that group is at its highest ranking yet of 70 percent, up from a previous high of 62 percent in 2009. Engineers are currently tied with doctors for third place on the list.
Police, teachers and members of the clergy continue to do well on the list. Expectedly, less than 50 percent of Americans have positive perceptions of lawyers, journalists, insurance salespeople, HMO managers, stockbrokers and advertising practitioners. All of those professions have a score below 25 percent.

The New York-Based Celebrity Talks Art, Ancestry and Chow Yun-Fat
Art-scene culturista China Chow poses with cult photographer Chen Man, hangs with Tilda Swinton, and strolls through the Forbidden City in this visual diary documenting three jam-packed days in Beijing. The granddaughter of lauded opera performer Zhou Xinfang, and daughter of famed restaurateur Michael Chow and the late, iconic fashion model Tina Chow, China grew up surrounded by America's artistic glitterati and occasionally modeled in campaigns for the likes of Lane Crawford, Barneys New York and Karl Lagerfeld. "I learned so much from the artists that I got to know as a child growing up in New York," she explains. "In particular, those who were around the most really made an impact on me: Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring and Andy Warhol." Currently hosting Bravo's Work of Art: The Next Great Artist alongside famed auctioneer Simon de Pury, Chow helps judge the work of up-and-coming artists competing for a solo exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum and a cash prize of $100,000. This month Chow makes a return to her former profession and graces the cover of Vogue China. In town for the Boss Black fall/winter 2012 fashion show, the sophisticated presenter took a moment of out her hectic schedule to reflect on China and a childhood spent at Mr. Chow.
What is your favorite memory of dining at Mr. Chow as a child?
One of my fondest memories was the night that my father threw an incredible party to celebrate bringing the Beijing Opera to Lincoln Center in New York City. My grandfather, Zhou Xinfang, who has been featured on the Chinese postage stamp, is considered to be a national treasure in China. He founded the Qi style and was Beijing Opera's most celebrated renaissance man of the 20th century. That night was all about honoring his legacy, his country and my family's heritage. Although I was extremely young at the time, the significance of the event was not lost on me.
What was one of your highlights from your first trip to Beijing?
A few years back, my father told me that the newspapers in Hong Kong had written a story about Chow Yun-Fat being Zhou Xinfang's grandson. According to the story, Yun-Fat's father was my father's half brother. Chow Yun-Fat walked the runway for the finale at the Hugo Boss show and stayed for the after party. No one in my family had ever met him before, and I was anxious to confirm the story. Being one of the biggest superstars in China, he was surrounded by a swarm of security guards, but Tilda [Swinton] and her boyfriend Sandro [Kopp] gave me a pep talk and encouraged me to seize the moment. I was escorted through security, but in the end, the result of my query was quite anti-climactic. He was not my cousin after all. He had heard the same story and informed me that his family was from a completely different region altogether. But he did suggest that if we dug deeper, perhaps we'd find common ancestry. When I phoned my father to give him the news, he responded with, "Too bad. His loss." Ha!
If you could, what treasure would you take from the Forbidden City?
The best treasure, hands down, was being able to experience it: its history and its incredible architectural vastness.

François Trinh-duc enters the season with an impressive 27 caps for France A, where he started in February 2008. Since his arrival, he's worked hard to earn his position as the France fly-half for the Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. A leader in the French game, he became more and more important in his club in Montpellier and as Fabien Galthié became head coach in the club François played a higher level. With a swift and smooth hand game and an excellent foot technique, he may turn into one of the best number 10 France ever seen.

Terrific TeePees For Small Spaces
When you think about living in a small space, the idea of erecting a large fabric tent with poles isn't usually at the top of the list. Just like parents, kids need their space away from everything else too and when you're living small that can be hard to come by. Teepees are a great alternative, especially when they fold up and slide under the bed and here are some of our past favorites:
Here are some great teepees from the Ohdeedoh archives. They come in all different shapes, sizes, colors and there's even a few to diy or just be inspired by. Tell us which one is your favorite in the comments below!

These look really fun! Wish I had one when I was a kid!
i'm almost done with my son's teepee sandbox, it's probably a lot bigger than those teepees but he's 7 and his 4x4' sandbox was way too small for him, especially if he wants to have friends over.
