THE UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST MFA PROGRAM FOR POETS AND WRITERS is dedicated to the creation of new and important writing. For almost half a century, it has been a place for writers to concentrate on their work and to write their books.
The program also provides opportunities for writers to gain experience in the fields of literary publishing, scholarship, arts administration, and the practice of teaching. Our writers make significant contributions to contemporary letters through the publication of their work and in their roles as publishers, editors, educators, and in various fields in which writing and imagining are central.
Through the Juniper Initiative for Literary Arts and Action, the program is a dynamic hub for readings, festivals, summer writing workshops, forums, and other literary activity. In addition, MFA candidates run a lively reading series and an online literary journal providing writers with opportunities to exchange new work.
New England's literary history is profound. Many people find the Connecticut River Valley a wonderful place to live. Throughout the region there are vibrant art, music, and dance venues, used and new bookstores, working farms, and restaurants. Within easy driving distance of New York and Boston, our community is abundant and varied. In addition to the many events sponsored by the MFA Program, the area is rich with other literary offerings. Here is a partial list of recent happenings in the immediate community.
On June 7, 2012, the Library of Congress appointed Natasha Trethewey (MFA '95) as the next United States Poet Laureate. Ms. Trethewey is the Pulitzer-Prize winning author of three collections of poetry and is currently a professor of creative writing at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.

TEAMS: Miami Heat, Oklahoma City Thunder, Los Angeles Lakers
Via Larry Brown Sports:
Is there a person on the planet who has more complications when it comes to attending sporting events than Lil Wayne?
The rapper attended the Miami Heat-Los Angeles Lakers game in Miami Sunday and claims he was kicked out for cheering the Lakers:
So I'm @ da Heat game right, rootin 4 da Lakers kuz dats my team & would u believe they got police 2 make me leave?! Wow! F#€k da Heat— Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) February 10, 2013
Fans don't get ejected from games for cheering the opposing team unless they are doing something inappropriate or crossing lines of decency, so Weezy isn't telling the full story.
A man who goes by the name of Senor Danny Vega on Twitter, and who says he is the social manager for DJ Irie, has another explanation. He says Lil Wayne was kicked out for making a gun gesture at a fan, which would actually justify an ejection.
Weezy, you may recall, made a big stir last year when he said he was denied playoff tickets by the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was eventually allowed to attend a Thunder NBA Finals game, but then he complained he was treated poorly by security. Weezy has even complained in the past that LeBron James and Dwyane Wade ignored him when he attended Heat games.
Does Lil Wayne even go to games to watch basketball, or is his goal to become the center of a controversy? It's beginning to feel like the latter is his purpose.
And WHY would Lebron or Wade even want to associate with this punk? This guy belongs in a big house alright-PRISON.
First the idiot needs to learn how to talk and spell.Just another under educated loud mouth.... and they can't understand why no one wants them around. Hurry up baseball season.
right on heat
Who the heck is 'Lil Wayne'? Looks like a hood rat. He needs to crawl back into whatever sewer he crawled out of.
Really? Give him a chance
Give up on basketball. It's just a bunch of punk azz beatches. Turn to hockey where the players can read and write. Even the players from Europe and speak English as a 3rd or 4th language speak better than basketball players...
[not displayed: comment from locked account]
This comment is the most ignorant comment I have read. First of all bro (your language I'm sure) for you to tell other people to stick a gun in their mouth and pull the trigger is not only crossing a line but showing your ignorance. Who are you to say anything of this nature? These fakes dont sing they rap but have you lived their life just because they have money now does not mean they grew up with it. Besides living a "gangsta life" is better than any life your pasty, foul mouthed, red neck, poor excuse for living, wanna be ass can ever live. Don't you ever in your life judge someone without knowing any facts. And your monkey comment was the kicker. Someone should laying a beating on your sorry ass better yet maybe one of these "gangsta's" should put their gun in your mouth so that you can show a little more respect to another Americans life. We all have different backgrounds and stories to tell hell we all have different color skin, but all bleed red and are all Americans, but it is scum like you that makes me sick and embarassed of this country. The next time you want to call yourself clowning on another look at your sorry ass reflection in the mirror and start there. You probably beat women and your dog and blame others for your stupidity, yeah we all know your type, you're the fake and the phony, so I'm tired of stupid and ignorant people like you who create more hate in this world, you hide behind your user name and type into a cpu with ease, you are one of those people who we call two faced talk behind a person or about someone and the moment they come around you act as if it is all good, or another word is COWARD. So for now go back to your life and think you did something, but take a drive through the hood, but keep your doors locked as you do because someone may clip your racist, ignorant, sorry ass. And the next time you want to speak put a little thought into it, oops forgot your not able to do that. NO NUTS, NO GLORY!
I'm a big time basketball fan and agree that something else must've happened in order for Wayne to be kicked out. However, I dont see how he has anything to do with the sport and who plays it. After reading some of the comments posted...most of you show yourselves to be as ignorant, if not more ignorant than Wayne. These posts look like nothing more than an opportunity for some of you to show your true colors....O....I forgot, you're hidden behind a screen name.
Can't believe this guy use to be a straight A student wtf happened.
I signed up just to comment.People cant wait to throw some racism in everything.This cpu era allows ppl to type in all kinds of crazy things and hide behind a user name. This is ridiculous. Whats more crazy is "The Backyard" is obviously ok with all these racist remarks. Its the parents of these kids today that keep racism alive. Little kids are innocent and wiil play with a green alien. Parents step in and put that stupidness in that blacks are this,or this race is that. Truth is we have good and bad in all races(in case you didnt know).Stop putting this poison in these kids heads.If you feel that way keep it to yourself, Or go and socialize with the race you despise. Youll realize there is no reason to hold on to ignorance. I coach a basketball team full of diverse ethnicities.My kids are 11-12 years old.We have mexican,black,white,kid from yugoslavia,russian kid,puerto rican kid. My point is they all love each other, they go to each others homes after games ,and if you told them anything about race they would look at you crazy. YOU ADULTS ARE CORRUPTING OUR KIDS MINDS WITH THINGS THAT HAPPENED 50-60 YEARS AGO.Time to move on or let your kids decide whether they wanna hate a whole race before they ever get to know them. SMH. Listen at yourself people really?????????????
The guy has no way to get publicity other than this. He is a LOSER.

Publication: theday.com
New London — About a dozen people walking from western Massachusetts to Washington, D.C., made a stop Monday morning in New London, where Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio greeted them.
The walkers, part of the 13th annual Walk for a New Spring, began their trek Feb. 21 at the New England Peace Pagoda in Leverett, Mass., and anticipate arriving in the nation's capital in early April.
The roughly 47-day walk is meant to promote peace building, demilitarization, a respect for Earth and an end to racism.
"We walk from mid-winter to early spring with the energy of the thawing earth," Tim Bullock, one of the walkers, said. "We hope this energy will thaw the hearts and minds of our communities and plant in them the seeds of peace."
Finizio welcomed the walkers on the steps of City Hall and spoke with them about the moral and economic importance of emerging technologies, like solar power and geothermal energy.
"We are a military community, as many American communities are, and many in our community celebrate the fact that for the next few years the defense industry contracts will be keeping our economy afloat," the mayor said. "But I firmly believe that during this time period we should be using this opportunity to look at alternative means of supporting our local economy."

The Economy in 2008
Jan. 7, 2008
Dennis P. Lockhart, president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, provides his thoughts on the economic outlook for 2008 to the Rotary Club of Atlanta.
The Economy in 2008
Jan. 17, 2008
Dennis P. Lockhart, president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, provides his thoughts on the economic outlook for 2008 to the University of Alabama Economic Outlook Conference in Montgomery, Ala.
A Look Ahead: Housing, Energy Squeezed in '08
EconSouth Q4 2007
If economic growth slows in the United States in 2008, it will primarily be because of factors already present: a slumping housing market, high energy costs, and turbulence in worldwide financial markets.
Great Moderations and U.S. Interest Rates: Unconditional Evidence
Working Paper 2008-1
Using a consumption-based asset pricing model, the authors find that interest rate movements in the twentieth century were associated with shifts in average inflation rather than changes in inflation or consumption growth volatility.
Dollar Regained Ground in December
The average monthly value for the trade-weighted dollar index of 15 major currencies tracked by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta increased 1.4 percent in December from the previous month.
Bond Positions, Expectations, and the Yield Curve
Working Paper 2008-2
Systematic errors in investors' forecasts are an important source of variation in measured risk premia within the business cycle. In contrast, subjective risk premia move less and more slowly.
Regional Economics
The Southeastern Economy in 2008: A Region In Flux
EconSouth Q4 2007
Like much of the country, Southern states are adjusting to the new realities of high energy costs and relatively flat home values. At the same time, the region's residents will benefit from growing sectors such as service employment and some agricultural and manufacturing industries.
Will Southeast's Water Woes Become Water Wars?
EconSouth Q4 2007
It's essential to life, we take it for granted, and there's not enough to go around in the Southeast. In a fast-growing region, increasing demand for water and a constrained supply are squeezing regional economies.
"We're Going to Struggle With This for Years"
EconSouth Q4 2007
An interview on the drought in the Southeast with Mark Risse, a professor in the University of Georgia's Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering.
International Economics
Despite Increased Risks, Global Growth to Remain Solid in 2008
EconSouth Q4 2007
The world economy will continue to enjoy one of the better performances in recent decades, led by economic growth in developing countries. Economies in developed countries, however, will see slower growth rates in 2008.
The Economy in 2008 (MP3 18:21)

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
Rockville, MD—As more and more consumers are beginning to recognize the benefits of a sustainable lifestyle, manufacturers of household cleaners are learning that they too need to join the eco-friendly revolution.
Boulder, CO—On June 21, A-M Holdings, LCC, received approval from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to acquire the Whole Foods Market branch located on Broadway in Boulder. The store is the original site of Alfalfa's Market .
Las Vegas, NV—From June 10 to 12, natural products industry members had their pick of events to attend at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Co-located at this venue were the 73rd annual Natural MarketPlace (the Natural Products Association Tradeshow), the World Tea Expo and the first NutriCosmetic Summit. The three events also plan to co-locate next year from June 23 to 25, 2011.
Washington, D.C.―Starting September 1 of this year, companies seeking to certify personal care products under the Natural Products Association's (NPA) Natural Standard for Personal Care Products program must now be sure their products only contain all-natural fragrances. Unlike what is the case now, organizations must have documentation their fragrances' composition; and they must be made with all-natural processes. Although companies with products that have been previously certified are not required to immediately make these changes, they should be prepared to do so once their recertification time comes.
Washington, D.C.—In June, WholeFoods told readers about pending legislation that sought to expand the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)'s authority so that the agency could devise and implement its own rules. Now, on June 25, Congress has decided not to include this language in its Wall Street Reform bill (S. 3217).
Monheim, Germany—In a much anticipated move, raw materials giant Cognis Holding GmbH, based here, agreed to sell all its shares to BASF. The transaction, valued at nearly $3.8 billion (3.5 billion euros), will close in November of this year. Cognis made in $3.1 billion (2.6 billion euros) sales in 2009.

W81BMUDIF DEDICATED TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND PRESS OFFICIAL PAPER OF WEBER ACADEMY AND COLLEGE VOL. III. OGDEN, UTAH, THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1919. Xo. 7 WEBE ANNUAL PLAY TO BE STAGED Mice and Men at Orpheum Theater on April 1st and 2d. PLAY BOUND TO PLEASE Cast Letter Perfect and Finished Production Can Be Expected. "The best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley." Robert Burns. "Mice and Men," the Weber annual school play, will make its initial bow before the Ogden public on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 1 and 2. The students included in the cast are too well known to need any introduction. In their respective roles they will achieve new laurels for themselves and add greater glory to the already recognized histrionic ability of our college. "Mice and Men" ranks with the best modern English dramas. While it abounds with comedy, the laugh often gives place suddenly to a tear, for of such spontaneous material has Mrs. Lucette Kylcy woven her exquisite play that the smile and sigh go hand in hand throughout the entire four acts. It was first produced with tremendous success in London by Forbes Robertson. Henry Miller introduced it to New York audiences, where its (Continued on Page Three) WASATCH HIGH EASY MARK Splendid teamwork and clever basket shooting featured the game between Weber and Wasatch Academy on the third night of the tourney. Our hoopsters have seldom been in better condition, and by coming out on the long end of a 42 to 22 score, proved their right to meet Bingham for the title. Wasatch played fast ball, but the fast guarding of Jepp, which was of an all-state caliber, prevented their scoring. Weber led from the start and in creased the lead every minute until the end of the half, when the score stood 19 to 11. Uncorking a series of bewildering plays which netted a large number of baskets, Weber had the second half all her own way. Long shots from difficult angles by Schade kept the huge crowd in a continual state of excitement. The lineup and summary follows: Weber F.G. F.T. F.G. T.P. Belnap, rf 2 0 0 4 Schade, If 10 6 4 24 Jones, c S 0 0 10 Lindsay, rg 2 0 0 4 Jeppson, lg 0 0 0 0 Totals Wasatch Wheritt. rf Murdock, If Xoakes, c Fraughton, lg Nelson, rg Luke, lg Totals 19 42 F.G. F.T. F.G. T.P. 4 0 0 8 Referee, Ashton; umpire, Simmons. R STATE Weber's Crew of State v 1 L 8 fr?'i Back Row Carstensen, manager; Barker, forward; West, forward. Second Row Wiggins, guard; Campbell, center; Hinckley, guard; Doxey, forward; Critchlowforward; t-oach Watson, i-runt Row Schade, right forward; Jeppson, right guard; Jones (captain) center; Lindsay, left guard; Belnap, left forward. Here they are, girls Weber's championship team. Give them the "once over" and pick your own star. The above is a picture of one of the best teams Weber has ever turned out a crew of great players and clean spore's. Every man is worthy of an all-state position, as each is a finished player and ranks with the best in the state. The success of the team is due in a large measure to Coach Watson whose untiring energy and skillful training made possible the team's success. Captain Jones "Bonsey" for short BASEBALL NEXT SPORT Now that the basketball season is over, attention is turning to baseball and other spring sports. On account of the war there has been no league during the last few years among the schools of the city. This year, however, a schedule will be drawn up and games will be arranged for the city championship and a trophy awarded the winning team. The probable contestants will be Ogden High, Deaf and Blind School, Industrial School and Weber. The plans are not yet complete, but the games will no doubt start within the next two weeks. The interclass series will start next week and some hard battles are expected. The present Junior class won the cup both last year and the preceding year and will make a strong bid for this year's honors. The Senior class also has some good material, but little is known about the Freshmen and Sophomores. It is very likely that some good players will be found in these classes. The Seniors and Sophs will tangle first and then the Juniors and Frosh; the two winners battling for the title. The games will be played at the diamonds on 28th street and Quincy. We suggest that the class athletic managers get their men busy so that the games may start immediately. If 1 i ' t I 1 tr;y x has certainly held down his position in center in a wonderful manner. His great jumping and all round excellent work places him head and shoulders above all the pivot men in the state. Schade's unusual record as a basket shooter entilles him to an all-state position. His clever shooting and good work from the foul line marks him as one of the best forwards developed in recent years. Belnap or "Rosy" is all there. For fast floor work few are his equal and none his s-.iperior. "Rosy" always comes up imiling. Though somewhat light for a the students will support their respective teams and attend the games, an interesting series can be expected. Coach Watson says Weber has excellent chances for turning out a championship baseball team this year. He further states that there is plenty of material. Such men as Jepp, Jones, Doxey, Lindsay, Farley and others composing the team should make a combination to be feared. SENIORS WIN TWICE In the effective public speaking contests the Seniors have taken a large lead with thirteen points to their credit. The Juniors have eight; the Sophs, six, and the Freshmen, three. The upper classmen have made use of their years of experience and have gained a lead that will be difficult to overcome. However, all the others are attempting to stage a rally in the next few contests and hope to win the prize offered by our former principal, James L. Barker. Dwight Thompson ('19) won the fourth contest, discussing "Completion of our present contracts." Luella Anderson, Freshman, took second place. Her subject was "The navy's place in peace times." Kenneth Farley, Junior, came third with "A second-to-none navy." Frank Robinson ('21) held down the cellar position. His subject was GH Champions 3 '3 . guard, Claude Lindsay surely uses his weight to the best advantage and his cat-like quickness has proved too much for many a forward that has opposed him. Whirlwind playing has characterized Jepp's guarding throughout the season. Possessed of a splendid physique and great strength, Phil has made a name for himself by his "knock-'em-down-drag-'em-out" tactics.Critchlow, Wiggins, Hinckley, West, Barker, Campbell, and Doxey have all contributed to the success of the team as has also Carstensen, the athletic manager. "A large navy and the League of Nations." Again in the fifth contest the Seniors won. David McKay, their representative, discussed "Merchant marine and expansion of foreign trade." Stanley Rheese took second with "U. S. Merchant Marine and European Reconstruction," adding two points to the Junior's score. Carl Ballarflyne, Soph, was third. His subject was "Merchant marine and labor." Lawrence Oborn received last place for the Freshmen with "U. S. Government ownership and merchant marine" as his topic. The Rich oratorical contest between Ogden and Weber will be held on April 9th this year. This contest was instituted a number of years ago by Dr. Edward Rich of this city and is held on his birthday. The prize is $50 $35 to the winner and $15 to second place. Judging from the enthusiasm shown, Weber should win this year, as many experienced men have signified their intention of entering the contest. The tryouts will be held next Wednesday and our representatives will be chosen. MICE AND MEN at Orpheum. MPIONS 1 WEBER WINS TOURNAMENT Loses First Game to Branch Agricultural College by Close Margin. BRANCH AGGIES STOPPED Weber's Fast Team Trims the Binghamites in Final Game for Championship. State Basketball Champions for 1919. That is now our official title. After seven years the old pennant has come home to roost and with it all honors attached. We certanly have cause to grow egotistical when we think of our wonderful success. Thirteen victories and but one lone defeat is some record. To say that we are proud of ourselves is putting it mildly. But then, to be the first yes, the very first of all the seventy schools in the state should be some excuse for the mild (?) case of "big head" we are suffering from. Our team entered the tourney with a determination to bring home the "rag," and after four days of hard, prindino- nphtintr. proved its iii?hr to the pennant. On the first night we were pitted against the Branch Agricultural College of Cedar City the same team that won the title last year. This game was replete with thrills and spectacular plays and was conceded (Continued on Page Three) WEBER VICTOR OVER BINGHAM Weber's basketeers won their first game of the tournament on Friday afternoon, when they triumphed over Bingham High by a score of 39 to 25. Although the game was hard fought, after the first five minutes the outcome was never in doubt, Weber's passing and classy guarding keeping the Binghamites on the defensive all the time. Both teams went scoreless during the first few minutes, each guarding so closely that a clear shot was impossible. Weber broke the ice with a goal, which was tied by Bingham a few moments later. Weber then took the lead and was never headed. The half, ended 17 to 13 in our favor. The second half opened with a rush, Weber and Bingham alternating on the scoring. Toward the end the purple and white quintet settled down to business in earnest and the game was all over but the shouting. The lineup and summary: Weber F.G. F.T. F.G. T.I'.

Know the rules to ensure happy returns
Policies about the same as last year, says Consumer World.
With gifts come gift returns. It's smart to know a store's return policy when you buy a gift, in case your loved ones don't love the gift you picked out as much as you do.
Consumer World says that most policies are the same this year as they were last year, partially reversing a trend toward more restrictive return policies. However, many stores have different return policies for different types of items, making returns more complicated.
- Video: Countdown to Christmas
Consumer World has a useful chart detailing the policies of 15 major retailers with generous return policies, including Target, Wal-Mart, Sears and Amazon.
- Bing: Most returned gifts
The Web site lists these changes in return policies for 2009:
- Best Buy has lengthened its return period for most items until Jan. 31, but computers still have only a 14-day return period.
- Target now allows gifts to be exchanged without a receipt, as long as the total of such returns does not exceed $70 in a year. Merchandise can also be exchanged without a receipt for an item of equal or greater value in the same department.
- Wal-Mart has extended the holiday return period for items normally subject to its 15/30/45-day return policy. Now those return periods begin Dec. 26 rather than on the purchase date.
- Sears doubled its holiday return period for electronics, software and mattresses to 60 days.
- Office Depot added a formal extended holiday return period until Jan. 19.
Consumer World also rounded up some of the more unusual return policies:
- Amazon.com has 29 product-specific return policies in addition to its regular one.
- Macy's affixes a customer return label to goods so a receipt is not necessary most times.
- J.C. Penney requires special occasion dresses to be returned with the "return tag" still in place, so buyers can't wear the dress once and then return it.
- Overstock.com has up to a 60% restocking fee for some open, used or late items.
- At Wal-Mart, if a customer returns more than three items without receipts in 45 days, the cash register system will flag the transaction, and a manager's approval will be required.
- SmartBargains.com keeps goods buyers return late a second time, without giving any credit.
- Office Max will not accept returns of opened cameras and software, unless the items are defective.
The New York Times offers this advice on returns:
- Don't assume you can return an item ordered online to the bricks-and-mortar store.
- Do your homework and know the return policy for the store and the type of item you purchased. Also pay attention to when you can return an item for cash and when you will receive store credit.
- Check your credit card. Some cards offer refunds on merchandise purchased with the card even when the store denies the refund.
- Keep your receipts.
- If you don't believe the sales clerk is correctly interpreting the store's return policy, ask to speak to a manager.

Naveed Hussain has been taking a breathe and pondering New York Fashion Week- not as piece by piece show, but what stood out above the NYFW fray and complexities of the week. — S.H.We've been doing a lot of whining at the pace and scale of fashion in this day and age of globalism and an unsteady economy.Fashion today has become a world-wide beast, it's everywhere, and isn't that a good thing? Shouldn't this mean we are all sitting at home with a closet full of the best we can buy? Okay well, that is possible, but we think it's coming at a great cost in the long run.Most importantly, there is too much fashion too fast.Fashion is now rotating on a two month scale and frankly, by the time the items hit the shelves, we cannot even remember them. There was a time when we could spot something a mile away and tell you it's label.Today, we look at the calenders each season and cannot pronounce half of the names on it, and now you can supposedly buy fashion on the Home Shopping Network & at J.Crew. This was not possible ten years ago and it is still not today.>> MORE: Fashion Shows and Runway ReviewsPublished on September 29, 2010

David Elfin Spring 2011 Fashion Show, New York and Madrid is Crisp, Clean and Modern
Davidelfin cuts a mean pattern…And sticks to his guns too! The Spanish designer who shows both at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week New York and then at Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week is true to his architectural and somewhat austere design aesthetic. Davidelfin's fine modern classic tailoring is best appreciated up close.Particularly in New York, where floaty fabrics and sandy colors reigned supreme, the Davidelfin spring collection was a jolt in the arm for the woman who just wanted to stick to her 90′s minimalist guns or whatever you want to call someone who prefers her clothing lean, clean, and mean.>> MORE: Fashion Shows and Runway ReviewsOne of my favorite dresses was the black gown pictured above and below at both the New York and Madrid show. The well-placed side cut-out hallmarked the geometic feel of the collection, yet the flowing skirt added the right touch of femininity and figure-flattering wearability that was also edgy and timelessly modern.Published on September 29, 2010

Isaac Mizrahi- Spring 11 Fashion Show, Enough about Trends, Lets be Pretty
Every once in a while we need to cleanse our palette of trends and unneccessary froufrou and get back down to what a woman really wants to be when she gets dressed. For most of us over the age of 20ish, it's simply to look pretty in a way without unneccessary artifice or pretention.Pretty doesn't mean boring or dated. It means that you are in control of your look and want ot look stunning for yourself in a timeless and ageless way in clothing that is designed with YOU the woman in mind.>> SEE ISAAC MIZRAHI FASHION SHOW PHOTOS- COMPLETE SPRING COLLECTIONThe Isaac Mizrahi spring 2011 collection called "IM Xerox" delivered just that- look after look of simply stunning dresses that don't wear the wearer but let her shine!My favorite being the short black beaded dress, pictured right. What appears in a photograph to be rather simple LBD, on the runway, in real life is a magnificinetly constructed garment with just the right amount of jet glimmer stones that increase in size as they aproach the perfectly suited knee-length hemline. It's a dress that will surely become a go-to piece in your closet for seasons to come and will always look right on the money.>> MORE: Fashion Shows and Runway ReviewsPublished on September 21, 2010
Donna Karan- Spring 2011 Lighter, Softer and Very Beautiful
Most hair stylists will tell you that at a certain age we look better with softer edges and a lighter color. Well, Donna Karan is celebrating her 25th Anniversary in fashion this year and she has all but softened and lightened the look for Spring 2011.>> SEE DONNA KARAN FASHION SHOW PHOTOS- COMPLETE SPRING COLLECTIONOnce the almost shock of the all sand color palette passed, it was clear that the hallmarks of an urban wardrobe were still present, but this time the city looks were meant to travel to a more relaxed place and time.The "Raw Romance" collection may indeed be lighter and more dreamy than previous Karan collections but in no way does it lack the customary expert drape and flattering proportion that is unmistakably "Donna," so much so that a diehard black wearer may actually consider a paler, gentler look for spring. >> MORE: Fashion Shows and Runway ReviewsPublished on September 21, 2010

Spelunking Safety: Nasal Edition
Gay Uncle Brett Berk: It's allergy season, which means that I'm all schmutzig. The only relief seems to come at night when the contents of my nose cake up for the duration of my slumber. Once morning arises, this naturally brings up the issue of getting that stuff out of there. How does this connect to young children? Well, since they're constantly acquiring germs from other kids, they deal with Gunk-in-the-Trunk (as in Elephant's trunk) all the time. And while a tissue is great when they have a runny or stuffy nose, I believe that nothing trumps a finger for excavating the hard clumpy stuff. You know what I'm talking about. Nose Picking.
Now I believe in some level of propriety, so I don't want to eat dinner with a kid whose finger is permanently inserted in their nostril. But I think it's fine to let your kid dig around in their schnoz away from the prying eyes of the general public. (You can decide if this includes you or not.) Frankly, teaching them to self-pick is a hell of a lot less grody than having to go spelunking in there yourself. Just be sure to alert them as to where you believe nasal mining is acceptable, and where it isn't. And in the not-okay places, you can teach them to hide their activities behind what I like to call The Social Shroud (Kleenex).
Finally, if your kid is going to dive in unprotected, make sure their nails are clipped -- we don't need any more blood on our hands in this country -- and that they wash their mitts before and after; finger-to-nose contact is one of the top means by which colds are transmitted. (Allergies, sadly, are non-transferable.)
|Brett Berk, M.S. Ed. has worked with young children and their families for over 20 years--as a classroom teacher, preschool director, and research consultant--and is the author of "The Gay Uncle's Guide to Parenting."

PASADENA, Calif. -- NASA has selected 33 small satellites - including two Cubesats from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in partnership with the California Institute of Technology, both in Pasadena - to fly as auxiliary payloads aboard rockets planned to launch in 2013 and 2014. The proposed CubeSats come from universities across the country, the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation, NASA field centers and Department of Defense organizations.
CubeSats are a class of research spacecraft called nanosatellites. The cube-shaped satellites are approximately four inches (10.2 centimeters) long, have a volume of about one quart (nearly a liter) and weigh less than three pounds (1.35 kilograms).
The selections are from the third round of the CubeSat Launch Initiative. After launch, the satellites will conduct technology demonstrations, educational research or science missions. The selected spacecraft are eligible for flight after final negotiations and an opportunity for flight becomes available. The satellites come from the following organizations:
-- Air Force Institute of Technology, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio
-- Air Force Research Lab, Wright-Patterson AFB
-- California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo
-- Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y.
-- Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge
-- Montana State University, Bozeman
-- Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, Calif. (2 CubeSats)
-- NASA's Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, Calif.
-- NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.
-- NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in partnership with the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena (2 CubeSats)
-- NASA's Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, Fla.
-- The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation, Silver Spring, Md.
-- Saint Louis University, St. Louis
-- Salish Kootenai College, Pablo, Mont.
-- Space and Missile Defense Command, Huntsville, Ala. (2 CubeSats)
-- Taylor University, Upland, Ind.
-- University of Alabama, Huntsville
-- University of California, Berkeley
-- University of Colorado, Boulder (2 CubeSats)
-- University of Hawaii, Manoa (3 CubeSats)
-- University of Illinois, Urbana (2 CubeSats)
-- University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
-- University of North Dakota, Grand Forks, N.D.
-- University of Texas, Austin
-- U.S. Air Force Academy, Colorado Springs, Colo.
-- Virginia Tech University, Blacksburg
Of the 32 CubeSat missions that were selected for launch in the previous two rounds of the CubeSat Launch Initiative, two were from JPL. Eight CubeSat missions have been launched (including the University of Michigan and JPL-developed M-Cubed/COVE Cubesat) to date via the agency's Launch Services Program Educational Launch of Nanosatellite, or ELaNa, program. Caltech manages JPL for NASA

In tonight's Healthier Me, a new study suggests kids who eat a lot of fast food have an increased risk of the most common chronic illness in children: asthma.
It's the kind of food we grab because it's quick, and, frankly, kids ask for it... but now a new study of more than 500,000 kids in over 50 countries has linked fast food to severe asthma, hay fever, and eczema.
Dr. John Sweet, allergist: "It is an enormous survey... it is quite impressive and consistent with other surveys that have been done in the past several years."
The study, published in the journal Thorax, said that kids who eat fast food three times or more a week had an approximately 30% higher risk of developing a severe form of the disease.
Dr. Sweet: "It was interesting that they found the same effects over many different countries. [...] Asthma, eczema, and hay fever are all results of the body's immune system overreacting to things it should ignore."
On the flip side, researchers saw a decrease in the severity of symptoms in kids who ate fruit at least three times a week, a benefit which Dr. Sweet attributes to the antioxidants found in fruit and vegetables: "It is believed [that] a decreased consumption of these antioxidants can affect the airway in some way, though it is not clearly understood at this time."

Juan Williams' whole career in journalism has been one long series of cautionary tales.
Dan McLaughlin (@baseballcrank) March 08, 2013
Would anyone mind if we just copied and pasted our post on Fareed Zakaria getting busted for plagiarism and changed the name to Juan Williams? It's pretty much the same scenario: "real journalist" Juan Williams was busted for plagiarizing entire paragraphs for a column published by The Hill last month. Williams blames his researcher and says he feels "betrayed," so we're supposed to feel bad for him or something.
Is there anything lamer than blaming a researcher for plagiarism? politico.com/blogs/media/20…—
Alex Burns (@aburnspolitico) March 08, 2013
Here's a solution: Don't have a "research assistant." Do your own research and write your own columns. politico.com/blogs/media/20…—

LilMissErinGoBragh (@LilMissRightie) March 08, 2013
For what it's worth, the paragraphs which made it into Williams' column on the immigration debate were lifted from a report by the Center for American Progress, a progressive think tank. At least Williams had the sense not to read from the report while in front of a TV camera, but he didn't have the sense to check his researcher's work before running with it.
Sooper Mexican has rounded up some media coverage of Williams' no-no, and much like the treatment liberal Democrat Bob Beckel received when he made his outrageous comments on campus rape, Williams is now a generic "Fox News pundit."

(2 p.m.: OK. this has officially mutated. The first update below includes Roddy White's latest Tweets. The second update includes a selection of sanitized-for-your-protection Tweets from readers to @RoddyWhiteTV. I can't reprint many but you're free to do a search from your Twitter account, if you have one.)
(7 p.m. I've accumulated most of what's below and put it together for a print column, which I've pasted below. The only real new bit of information is a statement from the Falcons. I also chuckled when I just read Roddy's most recent Tweet: "Can the AJC gave[sic] me a great Christmas present this year and stop posting my tweets I would luv that." I believe we need to have a discussion.)
In the old days, this was called bulletin board material: a player or coach saying something that ended up in a newspaper story and, literally, was pinned to a bulletin board in the other team's locker room. (And yes, I've seen it.)
But now, we're more likely to have Twitter wars.
It's fairly mild so far, but things are heating up between the Falcons' Roddy White and the New Orleans Saints, who come to the Georgia Dome Monday night.
This actually started after ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer, took to a video blog to compare the Falcons to the 2003 Kansas Chiefs, who went 13-3 and then were bounced in the first-round of the playoffs. Dilfer said the Falcons "are not indestructible" at home and he went on to say the Saints could very well win Monday night's game, then come back and beat the Falcons again in the playoffs in the Georgia Dome.
Here's the video:
White responded via Twitter, @RoddyWhiteTV: "No chance in hell the Aints come into the dome and win once trent dilfer"
White, who's been known to talk some smack on his amusing video blog site, RoddyWhite.TV, also Tweeted: "The aints fans are so rude … we shall see monday night." And: "Yall [New Orleans] fans keep talking making it worst for those guys tht got to guard me cause yall don't. lol."
Will Smith, the Saints defensive end, responded on Twitter and it was subsequently re-Tweeted by Reggie Bush: "Wondering how @roddywhitetv has the audacity to call us AINT'S." And he attached this photo:
UPDATE: Here's the latest Roddy White Tweets. OK, now he might be taking things a little too far:
11:48 a.m.: "I don't know why everybody mad for the saints I made a comment on wht trent dilfer said on tv it had nothing to do with them"
12:03 p.m.: "The grace of god gave them tht championship so tht city wouldn fall apart now and now they think they hot [bleep] in … http://tmi.me/4ugiT"
12:04: p.m.: "The first time we played them their coach gone say after we won the game thts a good win for yall like the saints are the colts"
12:05 p.m.: "The saints win one championship and want to go crazy well yall [bleep] aint winning this year we gone make sure tht doesn't happen."
UPDATE II: Here's a selection of comments Tweeted directly to @RoddyWhiteTV (not fixing typos, just taking out profanity):
@fleurdelele: Among the comments: "Lemme see your [rear] go thru what we in Nola went thru after Katrina…then try & talk [crap] about us!"
@ goodolcharlie: @roddywhiteTV dude you talk more crap then ocho well this monday the saints are going to shut you up.
@Menunderwearlov: You better tighten your jockstrap for the game, cause @sharper42 gonna knock your [bleeping] block off. #headbetterbeonaswivel
@KevincPhipps: Thank you @roddywhiteTV for reminding us how much we despise the falcons #RoddyWhiteHasn'tWonAnything
@Bonapatel: @roddywhiteTV to all the [bleep] talkers out there…I say: We'll talk when all is said and done, until then let's get em! GO FALCONS BABY!
@Monedula: @roddywhiteTV how many superbowl rings do you have?
@Peytonshead: Saints fans goin crazy over @RoddyWhiteTV talking trash. You need to just say "Roddy, until you win a SB, #ICantTakeYouSeriously." Done.
@Doucette2003 @roddywhiteTV yeah we still got ONE MORE championship ring than you!!!!! You had a good year but we not having it Monday night #whodat!!!!!!
@ Clint_Money: The funny thing about @roddywhiteTV tweets is that they are borderline unreadable. #collegeisgood
@RickyT105: How many you got Roddy? How many rings you wearing?
@ Haxorize: Man, @roddywhiteTV is making me hate the Dirty Birds even more than I do. It is so on. #geauxsaints
@ StephanieBengal: Hey you've been playing light outs but when has a WR ran his mouth @roddywhiteTV equalled into playoff victories and Superbowl titles?
@ Matt Olivier: listen chump!!Don't think you can say all that [bleep] bout N.O. We WILL hand y'all that first lost at home believe that #WhoDat
@ Claddagh41: @roddywhiteTV its okay that you can't understand what our team did for our city. Maybe Dr. Phil can help you work out your ring envy issues.
@ Blmaniscalo: Just for all your ignorance, God is going to make sure you NEVER win a Championship. Jamarcus Russel will win one before you.
@ Donareilly: This @roddywhiteTV diarrhea of the mouth has to be the dumbest stuff. He spewing a bunch of bs. Lets see what he's saying tuesday morning.
@ Kralph97: @roddywhiteTV trash talking is 1 thing but trying to undermined the people of the N.O. is a diff game. You're whack.com for that.
@ RuRu69: Roddy…GET OFF TWITTER AND GO STUDY FOR THE GAME!
@ Nader723: Sean Payton is in the locker room right now with @roddywhiteTV picture on the board saying this [bleep] gotta get SMASHED Monday
I realize none of this constitutes a burning building. But it is amusing to see athletes take their smack talk to the electronic world when they're often so careful about what they say in front of their locker.
Also this: Is something Trent Dilfer says really worth getting upset about?
Print column
Athletes and celebrities complain all the time about the 24/7 media world today, and they certainly have a point. If you are, say, Roddy White, you can't go anywhere in public without running the risk that some guy, excessively fueled on Budweiser and Jack Daniel's and carrying a flip-cam, is going to bait you into saying or doing something stupid.
Two minutes later, we have the latest YouTube sensation.
But there's another side to the instant media world and we're witnessing it this week. Athletes and celebrities are fascinated by Twitter. What they wouldn't dare say in front of their lockers, they don't hesitate to bang out in 140 characters or less.
In their work environment, athletes often have an automatic filter between their brain and their mouth (though sometimes it comes in the form of the team's public relations director standing next to them during interviews). But when they're at home on the couch, they have no filter between their brains and their finger tips.
Which brings us back to Roddy White.
Dude: Do yourself a favor. Take your hands off the keyboard. Better to use them for catching something other than flak.
White, warming up in his own special way for the Falcons' game against the New Orleans Saints Monday night, ignited a Twitter war Wednesday. White is an amusing and entertaining guy, and it's not the first time he has engaged in a little smack talk on his Twitter site (@RoddyWhiteTV) or on his video blog (RoddyWhite.TV). But he jumped the rails a bit this time.
This actually started after ESPN analyst Trent Dilfer, in a commentary, compared the Falcons to the 2003 Kansas Chiefs, who went 13-3 and then were bounced in the first-round of the playoffs. Dilfer said the Falcons "are not indestructible" at home. He went on to say the Saints could win Monday night's game, and then come back and beat the Falcons again in the playoffs in the Georgia Dome.
White took to Twitter for his response: "No chance in hell the Aints come into the dome and win once trent dilfer."
No real harm, right?
Then it got fun. Saints defensive end Will Smith responded on Twitter: "Wondering how @roddywhitetv has the audacity to call us AINT'S." And for punctuation, he attached a photo of his Super Bowl ring. (That was re-Tweeted by Reggie Bush.)
Still no real harm, right?
Then White sent out the following three Tweets (not cleaning up the typos or grammar here):
"I don't know why everybody mad for the saints I made a comment on wht trent dilfer said on tv it had nothing to do with them."
"The grace of god gave them tht championship so tht city wouldn fall apart now and now they think they hot [bleep] …"
"The first time we played them their coach gone say after we won the game thts a good win for yall like the saints are the Colts."
That second comment was by far the most inflammatory because it invoked the city of New Orleans. It touched off a flurry of comments to White's Twitter account. Some came from Falcons' fans supporting him, but most were from angry Saints, many including profanity.
Among the comments: "Lemme see your [rear] go thru what we in Nola went thru after Katrina…then try & talk [crap] about us!"
White was not available for comment Wednesday, which was a players' day off for the Falcons.
Reggie Roberts, the Falcons' vice president of football communications, e-mailed a statement, saying only: "We simply think this was a case of one of our guys having fun on his personal Twitter account. The fact of the matter is that Monday night's game will be played by two of the NFL's better teams and the outcome will be decided on the field."
I realize none of this constitutes a burning building. But it is curious how athletes take their smack talk to the electronic world when they're so careful about what they actually say.
Oh, and there's this: Is something Trent Dilfer says really worth getting upset about?

Still the Aints to me. I don't care about their little Super Bowl ring. I remember the paper bag wearing Aints. Sooner or later, Aints is what they will return to. I never once cheered for the Saints last year. EVER. Aints and Falcons have been rivals since Day 1, and you never cheer on your rivals. No matter how much a city needs it. NOLA is an excellent city, and they have great people. I have many friends that live in that city, and I tell them all Aints are still the Aints.
December 22nd, 2010

Maybe while the team bus is here they can pick up all of the New Orlean's deadbeats that stuck around after Katrina and take them home.

December 22nd, 2010

Nobody can guard Roddy. Not this year, last year, or the ones to come…Do you remember what happend on "Reivs" island???? he made himself at home which is what he'll do to any scrub the AINTS can put at him….Birds in the Super Bowl after kicking VIcks ass in the dome…BOOM!!!!!
December 22nd, 2010
10:52 am
Dilfer is entitled to his opinion and I might have agreed with 4 or 5 games ago but the Falcons are getting better better as each game passes. Plus Smith doesn't seem to be settling for field goals anymore. He is coaching to win.
December 22nd, 2010
10:52 am
Roddy White really is turning into another one of those "run-you-mouth prima-dona" widereceivers. He's gotten a couple of penalties this year for jawing with folks.
Whatever happened to shutting up and letting your play do the talking?
December 22nd, 2010
10:53 am
Roddy is starting to remind me of Ray Buchanan back in 1998. For the most part Buchanan was quiet until Super Bowl week. He then just started running his mouth, wearing dog collars and behaving like an %$#. We haven't seen this side of Roddy until recently. Now he's getting flagged for personal fouls, running his mouth in the media, trying to draw attention to himself.
Please, Roddy, just play the game. Ignore knuckleheads like Trent Dilfer. He hasn't liked the Falcons all year. Let it go, and make your statements on the field.
December 22nd, 2010
10:53 am
Went to their house and ran over them……Please, this is our house and everything flows thru the dirty….Only thing I remember about the first game is we almost gave it to them in the end……
December 22nd, 2010
10:55 am
When the hell did Ray Buchanan ever keep his mouth shut?
Revisionist history!
December 22nd, 2010
10:57 am
Thank you Slim! More revisionist history.
alcons dominated that game but almost blew it at the end. Falcons didn't "steal" the game in NOLA. The AINTS almost stole it.
December 22nd, 2010

And besides, Big Play Ray wasn't the problem in the secondary that day.
Eugene "John" Robinson was a little tired having just gotten out of the KLINK and all.
December 22nd, 2010
11:01 am
I agree Roddy!
WHO DAT???? Nobody. They AINT nothin this year. 2 GB with 2 to play Carolina being one of those for the Falcons…stick a fork in them AINTS. Done.
It'll be 3 GB after Monday night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
December 22nd, 2010
11:02 am
Schultz, since you're in the media business why don't you contact Trent and ask him what makes him an authority on the Falcons? His claim to fame…the ONLY QB in the NFL to win a SB and lose his job the following season. Whatever reason he is down on the Falcons is obviously personal and without and merit. He's been saying that the Falcons will lose to this team, that team and they are STILL winning. I just hope Roddy is ready to backup his smack talk and his team mates back it up with him. I expect to see a good ole fashion beat down of the "Aints" so we can stop all this "Defending SB Champs Crap".
December 22nd, 2010
11:04 am
Hey you guys, Roddy just didn't wake up and think to himself, "Hey, I'm gonna start talking trash this year." How soon you all forget his Free Michael Vick shirt after scoring a touchdown a couple of years ago. He is no stranger to trash talk, jawing, or contraversy.
December 22nd, 2010
11:05 am
I like that Roddy is talking a little smack. He's earned it with the way he has played this year. Now watch one of the Saints DBs get a personal foul called for decking Roddy after a play. Let's get our own ring this year and rub it in the faces of Dilfer, Skip Bayless, the NBC Sunday Night game guys, and all the other haters of the Falcons!!
December 22nd, 2010
11:08 am
YEP.Dilfer needs to look at all the predictions and tapes of ESPN and NFL NETWORK saying that packers,ravens bucs, and those trap games rams and seahawks were going to beat the falcons. If that were true we would not even be in the playoffs.
December 22nd, 2010
11:10 am
Who cares what anybody says about our team, last year if watching the saints win the super bowl as a falcons fan did not make you sick to your stomach then you're not much of a fan! Same with Vick, I loved watching Vick play and took a lot of heat from other people who said all he could do was run. It makes me sick to watch the success he is having given that he admits that when he was here all he did was show up! Enough, I am 42 years old and have been a Falcons fan since I can remember; I am tired of running scared or worrying about other teams. I think we can beat any team that comes into this building we have a 3rd year quarterback that makes every throw and is very tough. We have a GM and Coach who have balls and will always be looking to get better and we have a very young roster.

Roddy "Maverick" White…I'm with ya on that one. These Aints will be so focused on Roddy and Gonzalez and forget we have multiple playmakers on our offense. Did I hear Greer is injured? Who in the world will cover Roddy? LMAO

Trent Dilfer was a BUM quarterback who rode ray lewis and the baltimore D to the superbowl.

Just play, Roddy. And the aints are quite capable of winning Monday night. Truly hope they don't.

mark…great comment. I couldn't stand it then and the thought of them having a ring still annoyes the helloutta me. I want to see us really destroy this team and demoralize them in the dome. As far as Vick is concerned, I hope we can serve him up something as well for halfazzing it while here–that's IF they make it to the dome.

Roddy White has zero class.

I go to NO on business a good bit, and there is not a dirtier, more dangerous city in America. I would rather be transferred to Harlem or South Central LA than have to live in NO. They won the Super Bowl last year, and I am glad for them. But this is a new season, and the Falcons are rising up and doing it on the bodies and helmets of the Aints.

Just win, baby! I'd say Matt Ryan at 19-1 at home is more than a statistical fluke.

With Matty Ice behind center,
the Falcons are an impressive 18-1 at the Georgia Dome.

Hey Jeff, how about some research on Matt Ryan versus the spread at the GA Dome? Inquiring minds want to know!

I think ROddy's next video should be done with a paper bag over his head…

No real reason to argue with the commentator from the 4 letter network.
That's what they want. He's been wrong about the birds all season long.
The guy last week praised fundamentals and how you can't reach your potential as a QB until you have good footwork…. and then proceded to stroke Brett Farve. Right.
Love that Roddy is fired up though.
I don't fear a team or a player in this league with the guys we have on this team coaching and playing.

Roddy isn't a primadonna. He blocks, he hustles, he runs out his routes, he plays hard.

I hate the Saints. I still want payback for that "set up" game in the Superdome after Katrina. Everybody knows that the NFL made sure the Saints were going to win that one.

I'm of the mind fame, that you can talk all the trash you want, long as you can back it up. and Roddy White has earned that right. so far by being the best receiver in the NFL.

I'm glad the Falcons are getting fired up about dumbass Dilfer. They will be ready to rock Monday night! Go Falcons!

Ain'ts will be back to where they were years ago soon. It's a sad team that got LUCKY last year. They aren't built for long term success. They are old and have huge holes. A few years from now when our DYNASTY is moving forward the AINTS will be back in the basement where they belong.

Instead of everyone getting on Ray Buchanan for that Super Bowl dog collar thing, I seem to remember another defensive back having some shenanigans that week. Maybe they can have that guy back to toss a coin in the playoffs.
