Parents' Perspectives
Getting your child into a top high school and college can be a highly competitive -- and costly -- process. Parents of teenagers in elite schools weigh in on whether all the time, money and pressure pays off. Comments have been edited.
Lynn Stevenson, whose son Billy is a senior at the University of Chicago Laboratory School:
On Monday evening, my son and I went to dinner and were interrupted by two women who asked my son his age. He told them that he was 17. They were surprised and had thought he must have been of college age. Apparently they had been eavesdropping on our conversation and remarked that they were very impressed by his intellect, manner, content of conversation and maturity.

The comments we received in the restaurant continue to reassure me that the sacrifices our family made so that my son could attend a competitive and academically rigorous high school were well worth it. While the intensity and competitiveness of the Lab school may not be a good match for all children, it was a good match for my son and he has benefited greatly. Since Billy has been a student at the University of Chicago Laboratory School since nursery school, we did not go through the high school application process. But the experience has been stressful. The amount and nature of his homework is laborious and intensive. He has spent many nights up until 2 a.m. to complete assignments. Yet, my son is a critically thinking young man who loves learning. The rigorous nature of his high school curriculum has prepared him to matriculate at any university in the country. Whether or not it puts him at an advantage in college admissions is yet to be determined. However, we did apply to about six schools in September and he has already received his first acceptance letter. We would not change a thing -- except maybe the amount of the tuition. But, in this case, I would certainly say that you get what you pay for.

Ray Hoefling, whose son Brian is a senior at The Rivers School in Weston, Mass.:
Brian was accepted at six of the eight high schools to which he applied. We never seriously considered enrolling him in our public high school, despite the city's strong statewide reputation for its school system. Our primary reason for this was concern over possible disruption of the public high school's 2,000 member student body during a planned renovation of the school. We had also grown accustomed to the small class size and quality of the student/teacher interactions in the private school setting.
The Rivers School has proven to be the perfect fit, as Brian has been challenged academically, encouraged to pursue his passion for theater and try new things, and nurtured to develop as a whole person. His confidence has grown as he's taken on many roles, including all-school co-president. The school's challenging yet nurturing atmosphere has continued with the college counseling office. During our initial family meeting with the college counselor, we were told this process was all about Brian and not about his parents. Although my wife and I were at first taken aback by this comment, we've come to realize that it is entirely accurate -- our role is to provide support and guidance to help him reach his own conclusions, not to dictate our choices to him.
I can't say for certain that private school kids have an advantage in college admissions, but it sure feels that way for our family. My son and his classmates have received personalized attention and support to help them manage a very stressful and competitive process. They've been reminded along the way that they'll all get into great schools. Based on the success of recent Rivers School graduates, that seems to be a safe bet. My son has applied early action to his top choice, Yale, so we'll know on December 15th whether the private school investment has been worth it. But regardless of where he goes to college, the benefits of being surrounded by highly motivated peers from many different communities who respect and encourage each other in an atmosphere of academic rigor and emotional support, easily outweigh the seven-mile commute to a neighboring town and the relatively small number of local friends.

Carrie Assaf, whose daughter Jessica is a senior at The Branson School, outside San Francisco, Calif.:
Coming from a small, private, K-8th grade school, we were well informed from the in-school guidance counselors of the necessary procedure for applying to the private high schools in and around the Bay Area. Visiting our first private high school open house, we were overwhelmed at the hundreds of potential applicants attending. When we were told that the private high schools receive over five-hundred applications for seventy-five spots, only half being girls, we knew we needed to give our daughter the best shot possible.
Starting in early 7th grade, our daughter, Jessica began taking Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT) preparation courses, as well as private weekly tutoring. We hired an outside high school counselor to guide us through the process, as well as help with the application and interviewing skills. The process was stressful and draining, but in the end, very rewarding. Jessica took the SSAT four different times in order to increase her scores. She worked hard on her application essays, emphasizing her volunteer work and providing supplement slides of her artwork. She also included an extra recommendation from the director of her community service campaign. Fortunately for our family, Jessica was accepted to both of the top two Marin high schools, as well as others in San Francisco. The difficulty became choosing between her top two choices. She ultimately made the decision to attend the Branson School in Ross, which has provided for her the most academically and socially fulfilling experience she could have ever hoped for.
Now as we enter the college process, we understand the advantages of a private school. Learning from the high school admissions process, we find the college process much easier. Not only does The Branson School provide college counselors that are available to answer any personal question at any time, but the school is also recognized by many of the top colleges. Although this is may not be an advantage for University of California schools and public universities that just look at the numbers, Branson students are accepted to the top colleges every year. The opportunities are endless, and the support and sense of community at Branson is unexplainable.
So is the private high school admissions process expensive? Yes. But was it worth it? Every penny.

Arthur Hawkins, who has two children who have graduated from Baltimore's Polytechnic Institute:
For us it was fairly simple. Baltimore's Polytechnic Institute (a public magnet school) has been one of Baltimore's leading schools for many years. They have a very strong college preparatory "A" course that helps kids make the transition to college that much easier. I've had two children graduate from this school: Nicholas is a senior at Loyola College and is planning on going to law school next fall; Lauren is a freshman at Johns Hopkins University, and is planning on going to medical school after graduation. My son Timothy, 13, is home schooled, but is looking forward to attending Poly in the fall.
Are private school kids at a greater advantage when it comes to college admissions? I would have thought so a few years ago, but I'm beginning to think better of that now. I'm seeing a number of schools that are using the term "magnet" to up their level of core curriculum to private school standards and beyond. The caliber student coming out of these schools now, are much more prepared to go to a prime four-year institution than in years past. I'm also seeing a number of these kids be pursued by level one academic institutions, whereas in years past the private school kids were the ones that went to the Harvards, Yales and Princetons of the world.
I have found the pressure (surrounding elite high school and college admissions) gave my children a window into reality as it pertains to life outside the home. When they move on with their lives, I think they will look back at this with either a fondness, or a hearty, "Whew, I'm glad that's over!" My wife and I let our kids go through this not by themselves, but we stood at a distance. This, we believe, allowed our children to mature into the young adults they are today. Pressure is something we all as adults have to face everyday. I believe this has been helpful for my children, and as our third moves toward his high school years, he will face the challenge of working hard, and going through the process as did his brother and sister before him.

OK, so I made this salad eons ago, photographed it, and forgot to review it. It is delicious, with nice, bright, fresh flavours. Also very filling, and can easily be a main course.
It turned out that I didn't have any mint, but I made the salad anyway. Even without the mint it is pretty good and a nice change of pace. I'll definitely try it again when my mint is ready to be picked.

Playwright in Greasepaint
These days it's no secret that the author of "Superior Donuts" and "August: Osage County" is a superior playwright, but Tracy Letts's parallel career as a stage actor is mostly known only to those Chicagoans who see him performing on occasion with the Steppenwolf Theatre Company. I reviewed the 2005 Off-Broadway production of Austin Pendleton's "Orson's Shadow" in which Mr. Letts played Kenneth Tynan, so I know what he can do. Now he's appearing in Steppenwolf's revival of David Mamet's "American Buffalo," and his performance is one of the many highlights of a production so strong that I don't see how it could be bettered.
Unlike "Race," Mr. Mamet's latest effort, which is good but not first-rate, "American Buffalo" is one of the best American plays of the past half-century, a harsh, hurtful portrait of three small-time Chicago crooks who can't figure out how to make it in a money-hungry world that has no room for losers. This production, directed by Amy Morton, who graced the original cast of "August: Osage County," is as blunt and unsparing as a fist to the kidney. It is also very, very funny—I've never seen an "American Buffalo" that got more laughs—which makes the explosion of violence that is the play's climax still more shocking. Above all, Ms. Morton and her cast convey with exceptional clarity the extent to which "American Buffalo" is rooted in a specific time and place, Chicago in the mid-'70s. It's a joy to see a staging in which all the accents are on the nose, and one in which Mr. Mamet's rat-a-tat dialogue is delivered with equal measures of speed and sense.
Mr. Letts, who plays Teach, the thug-in-chief, is brash, sleazy and foul, a solid-brass hustler in a polyester shirt open all the way down to the hair on his chest. Yes, he's a clown, but his malevolence is never far from the surface, and when he snaps out a line like "The only way to teach these people is to kill them," you know he's not kidding. Francis Guinan and Patrick Andrews, playing the less flashy but equally choice roles of Don and Bob, are especially good at suggesting the extent to which their almost-loving relationship has been thwarted by the coldness of the inner-city world in which they live.
Kevin Depinet, the scenic designer, is no less a star of the show than his onstage colleagues. The cluttered basement junk shop that he's created for this production reminded me that the word "surreal" originally meant "super-real." I spent much of the intermission standing at the lip of the stage, gazing with admiration at the set and marveling at the infinite care with which Mr. Depinet has selected each and every grubby object.
It's easy to take Mr. Mamet for granted, not only because he's been around for such a long time ("American Buffalo" was first performed in 1975) but also because his diamond-hard style is now part of the lingua franca of contemporary American playwriting. Don't let that fool you: Mr. Mamet is one of the great theatrical originals, and anyone who wants to know how his plays should be done can scarcely do better than going to see this exemplary production.
Tampa, Fla. "What the Butler Saw" is, after "Noises Off," the most perfect farce written in modern times, a masterpiece of satirical savagery disguised as a lightweight sex comedy about extramarital hanky-panky in a lunatic asylum. Joe Orton wrote it in a state of controlled rage at the hypocrisies, sexual and otherwise, of the British establishment, and he made each punch line count. Not only are the jokes wickedly amusing in every sense of the adverb, but they're embedded in a slam-door-A-then-run-through-door-B plot so tightly constructed that the play almost directs itself—so long as you trust the material. Alas, I've yet to see a staging of "What the Butler Saw" whose director was willing to let Orton be Orton, and Jobsite Theater's revival, for all its noisy gusto, makes the usual mistake of overegging the comic pudding.

The biggest problem with Jobsite's "What the Butler Saw" is that most of the people on stage try to act funny all the time. (One of the actors actually goes so far as to do a spit take.) In a well-done farce, by contrast, the characters don't know they're silly—they think their plight is dead serious—and Orton warned directors against staging his plays in any other way. "Unless it's real," he said, "it won't be funny." This is especially true of "What the Butler Saw," whose humor arises from the oft-remarked propensity of the British ruling class to say one thing and do another. If the characters don't carry themselves with armor-plated propriety at the outset, it won't be nearly as funny when they get caught with their flies open later on in the evening.
That's where this production goes wrong: Katrina Stevenson, the director, has either encouraged the members of her cast to overact or failed to stop them from doing so. Instead of speaking Orton's lines with crisp clarity and letting the situation work for them, they embellish each joke with superfluous comic business, burying the play's brutal candor beneath a veneer of waggled eyebrows, thrusting crotches and overripe accents. Many of the best punch lines fail to register as a result, and it's not until after intermission, when the onstage frenzy mounts to a climax, that the play starts catching up with the performance.
I liked the second act more than the first, and I also liked Michael C. McGreevy, who plays Sgt. Match, the stiff-upper-lipped policeman who blunders cluelessly into the midst of chaos, with impeccably straight-faced propriety. The audience at last Sunday's matinee gave every sign of liking everything else about the show, however, and if you've never seen "What the Butler Saw," you might well think that this is how it's supposed to go.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - University of Arkansas police are
warning football fans to be wary of scalpers selling counterfeit
Two men from Birmingham, Alabama, were charged after they were
caught allegedly selling fake tickets before Saturday's
Alabama-Arkansas game at Razorback Stadium.
Fayetteville television station KFSM reports the men were caught
when a victim who was turned away at a stadium gate found the
suspects and pointed them out to police. The suspects, 25-year-old
Jermaun Woods and 41-year-old Josephus Hawkins, face fraud charges.
Police say they had more than $2,000 in cash between them. Police say the section and seat numbers printed on the tickets didn't correspond to any seats in Razorback Stadium.

Microsoft Content Ads Network Helps Smartphone Leader Outsmart the Competition
One global wireless solutions company saw an opportunity to tap into the growing demand for smartphones in the consumer market with a differentiated touchscreen device. The challenge was twofold: raising brand awareness in a consumer market that thought of the handset maker's product as a business phone and competing against dominant consumer brands in a crowded market. Microsoft Advertising worked with the smartphone maker to build a holiday marketing program for its new device on the Microsoft Content Ads Network. The smartphone maker chose to advertise on the network because it offered scalable media opportunities through Microsoft Advertising's partnership with premium publishers. Microsoft Advertising's analytics research discovered the smartphone's target audience among consumers who frequented network properties.

Parents feel special bond with libraries and what they offer to children, families
In a time when the digital age has forced libraries to rethink what they will offer and be, Johnson said, they've found great success with programs that support and entertain the entire family. Both Chinese New Year celebrations and a magic show were among fairly recent popular draws. But nothing beats story time for parents and their pre-school-age children, she said.
The survey was funded through a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Part of the impetus was that libraries are in transition, rocked by the same digital age that is challenging news outlets, movie studios, record labels and others. The questions all of them face include "In what ways do we change and what do we change to?" Rainie said.
Librarians wonder what they should offer people who don't necessarily have to go to the library to get a book — think digital books, which most libraries also offer — or to look up facts for a book report.
Rainie said the data are interesting and reassuring. "One of the stories of particular interest to librarians in our data is that parents in communities have a special relationship to the institutions and are important voices as they think about what they should become. Getting input from mothers is probably a good thing. They are the biggest fans of libraries."
It is important to note, he said, that mothers are very tech savvy and also social. "Mothers have always been sort of disproportionately involved in using social tools. Mothers have an interesting vantage point, with enthusiasm for technology and enthusiasm for the library."
The survey found that "parents are more likely than other adults to say they would use new library offerings."
Serving the poor
Some findings about lower-income families also stood out, Rainie said. When they were asked what they wanted libraries to be, they were enthusiastic about a variety of services, some tech-based, but it was just as important that libraries continue to anchor communities, to be what Rainie called "precious institutional space."
Lower-income families, he said, are enthusiastic supporters as libraries evolve, "so long as they stay a central place in the community." They also serve as a reliable, but not the only provider, of access to Internet and computers.
Still, income is not a big differentiator of who uses a library or doesn't. Upper-income families are even more likely to have library cards and to borrow books, Rainie said. "Some of the libraries think of that as a paradox. Some of the most enthusiastic patrons have plenty of access, books at home and technology in their lives. But there is no sense in the data that well-off people have stopped thinking libraries are important in their lives."
Among other findings, 7 in 10 parents say their kids have visited the public library in the last year, 87 percent of them to borrow books. More than half who went to the library also went for school work (77 percent of the young visitors 12-17), and just under half borrowed DVDs or CDs, or attended a library event. More than a third went to use the Internet or to socialize with friends.

Rob Griffith, Associated Press
CANBERRA, Australia — Muslim women would have to remove veils and show their faces to police on request or risk a prison sentence under proposed new laws in Australia's most populous state that have drawn criticism as culturally insensitive.
A vigorous debate that the proposal has triggered reflects the cultural clashes being ignited by the growing influx of Muslim immigrants and the unease that visible symbols of Islam are causing in predominantly white Christian Australia since 1973 when the government relaxed its immigration policy.
Under the law proposed by the government of New South Wales, which includes Sydney, a woman who defies police by refusing to remove her face veil could be sentenced to a year in prison and fined 5,500 Australian dollars ($5,900).
The bill — to be voted on by the state parliament in August — has been condemned by civil libertarians and many Muslims as an overreaction to a traffic offense case involving a Muslim woman driver in a "niqab," or a veil that reveals only the eyes.
The government says the law would require motorists and criminal suspects to remove any head coverings so that police can identify them.
Critics say the bill smacks of anti-Muslim bias given how few women in Australia wear burqas. In a population of 23 million, only about 400,000 Australians are Muslim. Community advocates estimate that fewer than 2,000 women wear face veils, and it is likely that even a smaller percentage drives.
"It does seem to be very heavy handed, and there doesn't seem to be a need," said Australian Council for Civil Liberties spokesman David Bernie. "It shows some cultural insensitivity."
The controversy over the veils is similar to the debate in other Western countries over whether Muslim women should be allowed to wear garments that hide their faces in public. France and Belgium have banned face-covering veils in public. Typical arguments are that there is a need to prevent women from being forced into wearing veils by their families or that public security requires people to be identifiable.
Bernie noted that while a bandit disguised with a veil and sunglasses robbed a Sydney convenience store last year, there were no Australian crime trends involving Muslim women's clothing.
"It is a religious issue here," said Mouna Unnjinal, a mother of five who has been driving in Sydney in a niqab for 18 years and has never been booked for a traffic offense.
"We're going to feel very intimidated and our privacy is being invaded," she added.
Unnjinal said she would not hesitate to show her face to a policewoman. But she fears male police officers might misuse the law to deliberately intimidate Muslim women.
"If I'm pulled over by a policeman, I might say I want to see a female police lady and he says, 'No, I want to see your face,'" Unnjinal said. "Where does that leave me? Do I get penalized 5,000 dollars and sent to jail for 12 months because I wouldn't?"
Sydney's best-selling The Daily Telegraph newspaper declared the proposal "the world's toughest burqa laws." In France, wearing a burqa — the all-covering garment that hides the entire body except eyes and hands — in public is punishable by a 150 euro ($217) fine only.
The New South Wales state Cabinet decided to create the law on July 4 in response to Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione's call for greater police powers. Other states including Victoria and Western Australia are considering similar legislation.
"I don't care whether a person is wearing a motorcycle helmet, a burqa, niqab, face veil or anything else — the police should be allowed to require those people to make their identification clear," State Premier Barry O'Farrell said in a statement.

Michael Joseph Jackson was an American singer and songwriter. He reached incredible heights of fame and became one of the most recognized musical figures of all time. In the United States, he has had 13 number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. He has also sold a total of over 400 million records, making him one of the biggest selling artists of all time. Also, he has received over six hundred world-renowned rewards, making him the artist with the most awards won in history. He was also the first artist to have a top ten single in five decades – from the 60's to the 2010's.
Early Years and Jackson 5.
Jackson's music career began in 1964, where he was part of a group consisting of his pothers, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon, and himself – The Jackson 5. The group had a string of hits, including I Want You Back, ABC and I'll Be There.
Solo Career
Whilst Jackson's career as a solo artist began in 1971 with the disbanding of the Jackson 5, it wouldn't be until over a decade later that he'd become a global sensation. Still, he had a number of hit singles, including Don't Stop 'Till You get Enough from his 1979 album Off The Wall.
Height of Popularity from Thriller to History
Jackson's solo career was not considered a real success until much later. Some critics assumed that his career would have been over - like many child stars of the same era – due to being unmarketable as an adult. However, 1982 saw the singer release Thriller, which catapulted him towards being one of the biggest music stars in the world. The album has since become the biggest selling album of all time. The album included a string of hits, including Billie Jean, Beat It and the Title song from the album, Thriller. Thriller became of particular note in music history as the video was shot as a full-length feature, with a video full with plot-line, acting and a run-time of around 15 minutes.
This would create a chain of events leading to the music video being seen as an artistic medium in and of itself – and Jackson would later push the envelope when he recorded a duet with his sister Janet, Scream, which would be the most expensive music video in history.
Jackson would go onto release Bad in 1987 – again, containing a string of huge hits including Bad, Man In The Mirror and Smooth Criminal. All had accompanying videos which were high budget productions. He would later follow up Bad with History – which had a more humanitarian theme. Songs included the Earth Song, and They Don't Really Care About Us, whose themes included the environment as well as social inequality. The latter would draw controversy due to the use of the word "kike," which is an anti-Semitic slur. The singer intended no offence, he would later make statement declaring.
Invincible and After
By the late nineties, Jackson's image was being damaged by allegations of paedophilia, as well as speculation about his plastic surgery and general mental stability. He bought the Neverland ranch as homage to the Neverland of the Peter Pan novel – about a boy who never grew up.
The speculation about Michael Jackson's personal life didn't stop his next album, Invincible, from being a success; it topped the charts in over 13 countries and sold more than thirteen million copies worldwide.
This was shortly followed by the birth of his third child – again, Jackson would find controversy after almost dropping the new-born off a balcony with fans below. The singer referred to the incident as a mistake.
Then, his music career was derailed by accusations against his person, which are mentioned more thoroughly in the section below on his personal life. He would release no more music between the early 2000's and his death in 2009.
Jackson, spending many years out of the spotlight after his string of court appearances for indecent sexual assault, announced he would play a final set of concerts in 2009. The singer announced the "This is it" tour amid concerns over his health.
The singer was found dead at his home by medics at 2.26pm on the 25th June 2009. The death sparked uproar and then grief-stricken outpourings across the world. The singer was found to have died of an overdose of a cocktail of drugs, including propofol and benzodiazepine. These were later found to have been administered illegally – and the doctor, Conrad Murray, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter for the death of Michael Jackson. He served two years' imprisonment for the death.
A live memorial was held shortly after – and attended by many celepities. It is thought that the service was poadcast to over a billion people worldwide. Following his death, Sony Music Entertainment bought the rights to distribute Michael Jackson's music for a reported $250 million from the Jackson estate. The death coincided with a marked increase in sales of both Jackson's back catalogue as well as songs from his time in the Jackson 5.
Personal Life
Michael Jackson drew a lot of attention for his appearance, which changed considerably over the years. His skin colour lightened – which the singer claimed was due to vitiligo – and his face showed signs of cosmetic surgery; particularly in the jaw, nose and cheekbones.
Also drawing infamy were his repeated sexual abuse investigations. Rumours circulated starting in the early to mid-nineties, and then he was formally charged and received a court hearing in 2005. Jackson was indicted and later found innocent of nine charges of indecent sexual assault – making him completely innocent of all charges against him.
Jackson was a humanitarian, setting a record for a celepity with the most endorsements/patronages of charities – being a major contributor to 39 in total.
Even after death, Michael Jackson is successful. In fact, Forbes lists him as a the highest-earning celebrity who is no longer alive – his estate made $140 million in the last year to earn him the spot, which he has earned for the past five years in a row. When you sign up for an AT&T U-verse Packages you can watch all kinds of media with this great entertainer.

Work started in November last year on the four connecting
sections of the network and, despite the poor summer weather,
contractor Fulton Hogan was on track to finish construction
of the 3.5km of 3m-wide pathways in the area ''more or less''
on schedule, Dunedin City Council senior contract engineer
Chris Hasler said.
''The first part of the network should be open to the public
in early May,'' Mr Hasler said.
The $1.7 million project is the first stage of the $4.5
million South Dunedin strategic cycle network.
Among the most visible sections of the new network are the
widened cycleway-walkway in Portsmouth Dr, the construction
of a shared pathway in Shore St and its linked pathway on the
city end of Portobello Rd, as well as a pathway in Royal
Work has also started in Victoria Rd along to Tahuna School.
''There have been some quite major changes in some of these
areas, and things are looking good,'' Mr Hasler said.
In particular, motorists and cyclists using the section of
Portobello Rd running between Portsmouth Dr and Andersons Bay
Rd would notice major changes. The southern side of this road
was now closed to traffic and now carried the
cycleway-walkway and the remaining carriageway was now for
two-way traffic.
Extensive signage would be installed to highlight the
situation for motorists, Mr Hasler said.
In Shore St, the shared pathway was complete and construction
of a $45,000 four-section safety fence, being built by Kim
Rapley Fencing, was almost finished. The sturdy fence was
designed to catch any loose material that might wash down
from the cliff.
''Any material that is washed down in the rain will be quite
small, so I believe the fence will work very well,'' he said.
Dunedin City Council senior transportation planner Lisa
Clifford said the concepts for Package 2 of the South Dunedin
strategic cycle network had been handed over for detailed
design and would go out for tender in May.
- by Brenda Harwood
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
Today, Saturday morning, it was quite evident that the fences
worked but not well enough. Big chunks have been lying on the
shared path, quite close to the kerb.
The new Portobello Rd section looks great at the BP end, and
at the Portsmouth Drive end, but otherwise it just looks like
a complete mess and nothing like the nice tree-lined (or
something) concept design I think I remember seeing?
I hope it will be tidied up when funds allow.

Katy Perry in Ronald Van Der Kemp JM Guys Patchwork Jeans
Katy Perry was spotted making her way into Radio City Music Hall for the Hillary Clinton Fundraiser in New York. The singer showed off her patriotism by wearing a pair of Ronald Van Der Kemp JM Guys Patchwork Jeans with a shirt to show her support for Hillary Clinton.
I am such a huge fan of these jeans because they still carry the heritage of denim in them. They are just a fun pair of jeans that didn't cross the fine line of being kitsch, which is hard for such a forward pair. I can definitely see them out on more celebs, as well as being a favorite to shoot in the mags. What are your thoughts on these jeans? You can click here to purchase these jeans from NET-A-PORTER.

Katy Perry in MOSCHINO Patched Denim Overalls
Katy Perry smiled for the cameras at MOSCHINO's Coachella Party in Palm Springs, California. The singer supported friend Jeremy Scott with a whole look by the label including their patched denim overalls and bomber jacket.
These overalls are a piece that only a few people like Katy or Rihanna are able to pull off. I find them to be a great style, but it takes the right person to make it feel modern and cool, which is something those two ladies are capable of doing. What do you think of these overalls? You can click here to purchase MOSCHINO from SHOPBOP.
Katy Perry in Paige Jimmy Jimmy Jeans in Clifton Destructed
Katy Perry was bundled up as she explored Florence, Italy. The singer chose a pair of the Paige Jimmy Jimmy Jeans in Clifton Destructed to pair with a long coat and ankle boots. She then topped her look off with a beanie and some Ray-ban sunglasses.
I find the details of these jeans to be one of the greatest that I have seen. I love that they aren't just the standard shreds, but also have a knee that has been blown out. Though they are an older style, I hope to see them out more again. You can click here to purchase Paige from SHOPBOP.
Katy Perry in a Versace Denim Gown
Katy Perry and rapper Riff Raff walked the carpet at the 2014 Video Music Awards in Los Angeles, California. The singer stopped everyone in their tracks by paying homage to one of the top denim moments (positive or negative, however you see it) by wearing a denim gown by Versace. The honoring was also taken a step further with Riff Raff donning a denim suit.
I do think that the dress fits Katy really well, that is just a given when you wear a Versace piece. Donnatella embraces the woman's body opposed to hiding it. What do you think of Katy and Riff Raff's tribute to Britney and Justin?

Recent advances in various wireless communication technologies and the emergence of computationally rich vehicles are pushing vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) research to the forefront in academia and industry. A lot of research results have been published in various areas (such as routing, broadcasting, security and others) of VANET in the last decade covering both vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) scenarios. One specific area of VANET that still faces significant challenges is the design of reliable and robust media access control (MAC) protocols for V2V communications. The authors present a survey of V2V MAC methods (including various VANET standards) that have been proposed for VANETs over the last few years. The authors also focus on the benefits and limitations of the proposed MAC techniques as well as their ease of implementation in practice and future deployment. In addition some of the challenges that still need to be addressed to enable the implementation of highly efficient and high performance MAC protocols for V2V communications are discussed. Finally, some innovative solutions that can be developed to address these challenges are proposed.

Well he did Bob, and it's exactly why you play so aggressive the first couple of days, he built up a great lead. The thing that surprised me today was Bernhard Langer's iron game was not sharp. It had been so wonderful all week The putter really saved him. The unanchored putter came back to be his friend today. He made some clutch puts, but all in all he still got it done and won by three. Not what he's looking for but still a victory. Clutch putts at 14 and 16 And the birdie at 17. Fred Couples though, gave him a run for his money.

Skip to comments.Donald Trump On AZ Immigration Law: Illegal Immigrants, Youre Fired!
Posted on 04/17/2011 9:40:19 AM PDT by Mariner
Following the political debut of daughter Ivanka earlier this week on Hannity, Donald Trump dropped by Larry King Live to talk the topic du jour, Arizonas immigration law, and give it his seal of approval. While he admitted that there are a lot of great people coming in, he called a boycott on the state ridiculous and made the astute observation that, well, Mexico doesnt have a lot of blonds.
Trump expressed the most concern regarding the increased crime rate in Arizona, noting that there are killings all over the place, shootings all over the place there now and that the law was a direct result of the federal government not coming out with a law.
He also expressed dismay at the possible boycotts against Arizona, including that instituted on San Francisco city officials by Mayor Gavin Newsom. And while he stopped short of endorsing racial profiling, he is in favor of getting them out if people come into the country illegally.
Seems he's ahead of the GOP elite on this issue as well.
He's certainly willing to take on the tough one's.
While he has my respect and gratitude, he hasn't convinced me to vote for him yet.
Military on the Mexican border
In favor of repealing ObamaCare
Wants to take the economic fight to the Chinese
Iraqs oil until were paid back
Birth Certificate issue
Lower tax rates
Against gun control
Loves America
Pi$$es off Karl Rove
Trump is a spoiler don't fall for it
And when he was on with BOR last week he said we should pick and choose which illegals get to continue breaking the law. He's also said we should let business make that determination.
That's because he has nothing to lose.
He will NEVER be POTUS.
From what I can discern at this time, it's the GOP establishment that's the spoiler right now.
Absolutely gutless and derelict in their duties to preserve and protect the constitution.
Sure, Trump is a showboat and has some positions I'm adamantly opposed to (Eminent Domain etc.), but he taking the fight to the left and he's drawing blood.
I really like that and am grateful for his courage and tenacity.
Trump appears to have the zeal of the newly converted in any case ~ interesting how a conservative point of view can just fall together so naturally. In contrast it took several centuries to come up with the distortion called Leftwingtardism!
Well you have to give the man a way-to-go on this one:
I no longer trust the GOP any more than the RATS.
While he may be getting his patriot wings back in order, I could in no way support his candidacy, especially as he calls himself a Republican. My opinion is he is nothing more than another Bloomberg. But if his new found patriotic bent is to show a bit of testecular fortitude, have at it. Nobody else in the Republican leadership seems to have the DNA for it.
I must however make a few exceptions, especially in that of Allen West, Paul Ryan, Jim DeMint, et al.
.... "he stopped short of endorsing racial profiling ..."
Is Mexican a race or a nationality? Or is calling Mexican a "race" a gimmick to help sustain the notion that there is not and must not be an international border between present-day Mexico and its former northern provinces?
I would appreciate it if you would provide some sort of link...substantiation.
I don't want to be misled.
Right now for me - its this - in no order
Trump is saying things that make conservatives salivate...No way would I vote for him..I think he is helping the Usurper to get re-elected, IMHO.
Look up the transcript yourself.
at this point, it looks like you're more of a spoiler than Trump.
Trump's own audio clips from Mark Levin show.
Devastating in my opinion, and I'm sad to say they were a real eye-opener to me. Decide for yourself. This is really, really not good.
In his own book, "America We Deserve", Trump writes, "We must have universal healthcare. I'm a conservative on most issues but a liberal on this one. We should not hear so many stories of families ruined by healthcare expenses."
Kiss your freedom goodbye.
He gave no support whatsoever to the Tea Party and attended not a single rally, but donated to their opponents: Schumer, Weiner, Harry Reid, etc.
Donald Trump says he adores Nancy Pelosi and can't understand why she didn't do more to impeach the "evil" (his word) George Bush for "lying" to get us into Iraq.
Donald Trump says he can't understand why John Kerry didn't win in 2004, since Bush was so "wrong" on the war.
Trump said that George Bush was the worst president ever, although now he has changed his story to say Obama and Carter were the worst.
Don't be fooled by this guy.
They said similar things about Reagan incidentally. Passed him off as a joke as I recall. The country had other ideas however.
Trump is into self promotion. Nothing wrong with that and he's about the best at it.
Thing is, that is his depth.
He ain't running and doesn't have a core.
I don't have a problem with his "Bush is a Disaster...", Clinton is a Disaster....", "Bush is a Disaster...", "MuBarak Obama is a Disaster and may be a Kenyan...(sic)".
Frankly, I haven't cared for one president in my lifetime except for Reagan.
This is a link to the interview. The illegal immigration portion begins at 3:10, and ands at 4:10. He says that he wants to militarize the border and look at illegals on a case by case basis. There is no mention of business in that segment, whatsoever, but cripple may have been referring to a different interview (I think the Meredith interview, because I DO vaguely recall him saying something about business needs coupled with immigration in that interview. Something about "Great minds, hard workers, etc.")
O'Reilly Factor / Donald Trump Sits Down With Bill O'Reilly
Looks to me like Trump is saying put military on the border to stop further illegal immigration.
For the people here already, judge on a case by case basis. If you have productive people they should get to stay.
Sure, it is a leftist conspiracy to split conservative votes. Rats' flaws are obvious. You don't have to be a ph.d to make a useless noise about it.
I AM grateful to him for taking on these issues and exposing the GOP for the cowards they are.
Perhaps the "liberal" Trump will show the GOP what it means to lead.
It's apparent they haven't a clue what the word means.
Only Palin shows any spunk at all in the GOP...and the GOP establishment shuns and degrades her.
Yes, Palin is my first choice...but I would vote for Trump over any of the others who are rumored to run.
Who is Levin's favorite guy ? Mitt ? NO WAY !
Well genius. I never said he made the comment about business in that interview. I simply said that he has said it.
If you want to call me a liar that's fine but I'm not the one buying Trump oil.
BTW a "case by case basis" is amnesty just as surely as when McCain says it.
The link I provided was a transcript, just on the immigration issue. Short read.
Trump is not to be trusted. EVER!
Really? Like Perot was as he almost won the Whitehouse until he made a dumb mistake??
Really ?
I would vote for Trump second to Sarah.
Perot oh please he was working for Hillary
That is clearly a misrepresentation and your interpretation of what he said.
Now, that said, he did say he would look at each person individually to see who gets to stay and who has to go...and that's PURE FANTASY.
Do we have ONE GOP candidate who says outright "I would deport all illegals"?
None I'm aware of, though that is my position.
Being from Pima county, Arizona and living in the highest illegal immigration through-way in the USA, it is a breath of fresh air hearing this. I don't know if I can vote for him, but perhaps this view will be taken by the rest of the GOP who are planing on running. After 20 years of open boarder policy we must clamp down on this madness. I am disgusted at our homeland security chief, she is blatantly lying to the American public on this issue. Even the center leaning liberals that I know here in Tucson grudgingly agree that this is a problem and that something needs to be done. I work in the largest trauma center in southern Arizona and we are constantly taking care of illegals. Most often they are either close to death from the desert crossing or in vehicular accidents often involving 10-15 people crammed into a single vehicle.
I also like his stance on the foreign trade issues that our country has been living with for decades. Our country is certainly being taken advantage of in this respect. Our country was build on good old American hard work. I would love to see "made in the USA" a common place rather than the current rarity.
I haven't been called a genius since the batteries in school, but thank you.
I think you owe me an apology. I didn't disparage you, I supported you by providing the link to the video because someone else wanted "Proof."
I showed what he said the the BOR interview, since you did not, and (far from calling you a liar) I also asserted that I remembered him saying something along the lines of what you claimed, but (unlike you) I tried my best to provide where I thought it could be obtained.
(P.S. I haven't disagreed with you yet, so why start the mud flinging now?)
Last is best!
He may be; but he is saying what needs to be said.
FYI, I just rewatched the Meredith interview, and there's no immigration mentioned in that, at all, so that's not it. I'll review the rest of the BOR Interview to see if I can find it there, to see if they came back to it.
In any event, I will try and find where I heard him talk about what cripple mentioned, but it may take some time. He's been in the news constantly for the last few weeks, so I have seen a lot of clips.
(And I do remember him saying it, FOR SURE, because I am ADAMANTLY opposed to amnesty, to those who break into our country, pillage our cities, steal our identities, and then ship our resources back to their own countries, to bring more here to sap off of our society, while trying to destroy it. If they're so hard working they should build their own country, not sink ours to their level. We need to ship everyone back, funded by a liquidation of their ill gotten assets—there's not supposed to be profit in committing a crime in this country, remember?—build a wall, and "deter" anyone who tries to come across it, except by lawful, honest means, with lethal force. That's MY position on illegal immigration. Oh yeah, and send their anchor babies with them, that's a perverted interpretation/manipulation of the reading of the law.)
He couldn't be any worse than Obama.
Remember to always EXPECT the UNEXPECTED and Trump ends up being another Reagan..
Yes, that was my conservative interpretation, of a liberal point of view and one which I stand by. But to call it misrepresentation, is spreading misinformation, FRiend. The term "broad based" is used extensively in the business world and Trump is very familiar with that term. Lets face it, Trump does not embrace "narrow based" business practices. You think Trump would embrace narrow based political practices?
Trump is also not known as a conservative businessman. His multiple bankruptcies, hostile takeovers and use of eminent domain to advance his empire mark Trump as a ruthless corporatist and IMO, a liberal business wildcat of sorts.
On a political level, Trump is well known for his flip-flopping on views and obfuscation of the historic record when it comes to his own past. I believe what Trump was saying is that he would support broad based amnesty, if his own liberal caveats were applied.
My remarks about what Trump said to O'Reilly were correct. In fact, your remarks looked very similar to my remarks. And I do agree with you, Trump's position is "PURE FANTASY".
"........ and Trump ends up being another Reagan.."
Not in a million years.
A lot of people were saying the same about Zer0.
Zero had a deep seated desire to be POTUS.
You know, Utah passed an "Arizona-style immigration law" too, and any number of Republican politicians used the issue to get themselves elected, and then when the time came to pass the promised "Arizona-style immigration laws," the GOP strangely shot them down in at least half a dozen states.

AbstractALPHATECH has developed a prototype planning tool, dubbed RATTLER, for Robust Automated Tactical Tomahawk Loitering and Engagement Router, in Phase I of this SBIR effort. RATTLER uses a variety of optimization techniques to construct missile trajectories that maximize target "coverage": the ability of the collective salvo of missiles to be redirected to a new set of aim-points. A RATTLER-generated strike plan is robust against uncertain retargeting events: once a strike plan is generated and put into execution, the same optimization techniques will be applied to the problem of dynamic retargeting. When a missile is diverted from its nominal flight path, RATTLER simultaneously perturbs the other flight paths, such that the remaining missiles maintain maximal coverage of the outstanding potential targets. In Phase I we have demonstrated the feasibility of our algorithmic concepts for tactical Tomahawk loiter and engagement planning. Our goal in Phase II will be to build upon this success: develop and rigorously evaluate a software tool based on these algorithmic concepts. The objectives of the software tool will be to optimize planning for near real-time employment of loitering weapons in support of critical user decisions.
