A retailer's retailer, a visionary, an innate merchant with an inimitable sense of style.
Those were just a few of the expressions used to describe Murray Pearlstein, the legendary owner of Louis Boston, who died Sunday of dementia at his home in Santa Fe, N.M. He was 84.
Pearlstein was opinionated, feisty and often controversial, but he was also the man who built a landmark specialty store that was among the first to bring European designers to America in the Sixties and one of a handful of merchants credited with transforming the men's wear industry.
"Murray Pearlstein was one of the leading creative minds of the men's specialty store world," said Ralph Lauren. "He had his own design philosophy that shaped his store and its products. He had a voice and that voice was Louis Boston."
Joseph Abboud, a Boston native who spent 12 years working for Louis part time as a salesman during college and then as a buyer, said: "He was one of the giants in the men's wear industry with Fred Pressman [of Barneys New York] and Cliff Grodd [of Paul Stuart]. They were the three merchant princes. They were larger than life and marked an amazing, special age in our industry."
Abboud recalled the first time he saw Pearlstein. He was 17 years old and window shopping at Louis for a tie to wear to the prom. "I saw this man yelling at the window dresser. He was wearing a melton wool blazer and a Pierre Cardin hat. That was Murray. He was a rough guy, but he had style. He was the Steve McQueen of our industry."
Abboud said that after his parents died, Pearlstein and his wife took him in. "He was like a father to me and he was respected by everybody. The Italians genuflected when he went by." And even though it was a comparatively small store, Abboud said the orders he placed were substantial. "He said if you believe in something, buy it like you believe in it. Without focus groups or anything like that, Murray just had raw instinct and talent."
Ron Frasch, president and chief merchant of Saks Fifth Avenue, said: "Murray Pearlstein will be deeply missed. He is an inspiration for the way we buy today, had a strong point of view about how his business ran and never compromised his views. He spent time gathering the right European designers and mixed them well with important American brands. Murray also took risks on the younger generation, bringing new eyeballs to his store. The power of offering a compelling mix of merchandise for different types of consumers with a distinct point of view is key to Saks' success and something Murray really pioneered."
"He was an icon and a giant," said Jack Mitchell, chief executive officer of Mitchells Family of Stores. "When I first came into the business, my first thought was to go to Louis of Boston. He was always innovating, always changing and always talking about product and fashion."
His son, Bob Mitchell, copresident of Mitchells, added: "Growing up in this business I always idolized Murray Pearlstein and what Louis represented. I always made special trips to Boston to see Louis and to have Murray give me his passionate, direct viewpoint. I will forever remember Murray as a visionary and pioneer in our business."
Richard Cohen, senior vice president of business development for Saks Fifth Avenue, who was ceo of Ermenegildo Zegna's U.S. business, called Pearlstein "the ultimate merchant in men's wear. He had a taste level and a point of view that communicated to Americans what Europe really was." He said Pearlstein was the "cornerstone" that helped build the Zegna business in the U.S. "He understood the styling and creativity of Europe and challenged American consumers to wear it. He was before his time, but he's been proven right."
Although Pearlstein was viewed as a superior merchant, he could also be tough as nails. Abboud said he was a "tough boss. There were times when I thought I just couldn't take it anymore, and I'd have to go out and take a walk around the block to cool off."
Cohen laughed when he recalled Pearlstein's prickly side: "Our industry lacks personality, and Murray, along with being a creative genius, was high maintenance. And that's OK."
Joe Barrato, former U.S. ceo of Brioni, said: "Murray was a true innovator and supreme visionary merchant. His passion for what he believed always labeled him outspoken, and he missed no opportunity to express his point of view. I considered him a friend and mentor, and he was always generous to me with his advice and insights. He was one of a handful of stores responsible for supporting and developing the luxury Italian statement."
Gene Pressman, son of Fred Pressman and former ceo of Barneys New York, said Pearlstein was "an excellent merchant. We were in different markets, but he was a contemporary of my dad's and they had a mutual admiration society. My dad was responsible for bringing European designer merchandise to this country and Murray followed soon after, focusing on classical Italian looks. And classic never goes away."

Marc Jacobs is one of the most famous and influential designers in the world. After 27 years at the helm of his own label and 16 as creative director of Louis Vuitton, Jacobs consistently provokes and inspires with his collections. WWD's executive editor Bridget Foley interviewed Jacobs on reflections on his career, to what he owes his success and why fashion matters.
WWD: I've been doing this a long time; I know a lot of designers. I don't think all designers love fashion equally. I've always felt that you genuinely love fashion. If I'm right, tell us why. If I'm wrong, why?
Marc Jacobs: I do love fashion. I certainly wouldn't suffer all the stress that comes with it if I didn't really love it. I always talk about the team of people I work with every day. They share that passion. We all have our moments where we're ready to throw in the towel and then we realize there's nothing we love more, nothing gives us greater pleasure. We like to look at colors and fabrics. We like to be inspired by things we've seen, and we like to translate that into clothing and bags and we like to see those things worn by people. And we do it quite a few times a year.
RELATED STORY: Marc Jacobs RTW Spring 2013 >>
WWD: Tell us what your schedule will be like between now and the Louis Vuitton show.
M.J.: I mean, it's typical. It happens right after the new year. The factories and manufacturers and people we work with from the handbag to the shoe factories. They all close for Christmas and New Year's. A lot of the Italians don't open again until the week after, so today is the day where everyone is in a panic. Most of the people around me will have nonstop Monday-through-Monday until both shows are finished. So I'm here working on knitwear, and I'm doing handbags on Saturday. Saturday evening I leave for Paris and then Sunday night I have a meeting in Paris with Robert Duffy, my partner, and the people at Vuitton regarding contract stuff. Monday, I'm working with Vuitton and Tuesday with Vuitton — it's just nonstop. It will go back and forth until the Marc Jacobs show is done, the Marc by Marc show is done, the Vuitton show is done and the Vuitton men's show is done.
WWD: The contract is due now?
M.J.: Oh, I don't know. I'm not really sure when it's done or whatever, but I know we're discussing it this week.
WWD: What are your most important influences?
M.J.: I like characters. I like spirited characters whether they exist in fiction or real life. Whether they're the invention of artistic people or directors, musicians. I think music and art and fashion designers inspire me and I like characters. That's what I think is always what leads us to do something a little bit different each time. We want to explore this other side of this girl or woman.
WWD: When you have a character in mind or something strikes you, how does it translate? Take, for example, the past two shows, both of which were Sixties Pop inspired, and the previous shows, especially the one in New York. It was very sort of romantic, tinged with a reverie of sadness, meanwhile all these massive pilings and hats and punctuated by a pilgrim shoe. Did you wake up one morning and say, "Yes — pilgrim shoes!"?
M.J.: Yes, actually it started out as boots and then the boots didn't feel quite right. I saw Rachel Feinstein's "Puritan's Delight." I looked at pilgrim shoes and I thought, 'This is such a random thing to do.' And then there was something I liked about a Dickensian thing, and I thought about "Oliver Twist." I get into these melancholy romantic moods. There's a lot of things going on. There was an art exhibition I had seen and I asked Rachel to design the set. A conversation with Rachel Feinstein is always inspiring....It started with hats. I wanted to make the biggest fur hats anyone's ever seen. I wanted to make fur coats, but I wanted the coats to be hats. Anyway, that went sideways and random from there. Then when we got with Vuitton, it was simultaneous with this exhibition at the Musée Arts Décoratifs. So we had been doing a lot of preparation for that exhibition. There was a bit of nostalgia for the romance of travel. I don't usually buy into that. That's not my rap, but looking back at the things we had done at Vuitton and going through — Louis Vuitton was this man with an obsession for packing clothes. Then we made this fictitious Vincente Minnelli train journey and it became sort of "Funny Girl"...again it's about all different things. We look at something one day and relook at the next day and you experience something the third day. Editing and adding, adding and editing.
WWD: The parallel between you and Louis Vuitton — you certainly have an interest in art and you've done all these amazing collaborations, you've sort of shied away from saying your clothes belong in a museum. Was that an uncomfortable moment for you?
M.J.: Very uncomfortable. I mean, Alexander McQueen's clothes belong in a museum. That was probably one of the most beautiful exhibitions that the Met had ever done for the Costume Institute. Of course, I enjoyed the Prada-Schiaparelli exhibition because those are two of my favorite designers in the world. But I think McQueen — when I say our clothes don't belong in a museum.... For people who appreciate sculpture and art whether they're antiquities, Old Masters, like, I think the body of work that was the McQueen show could appeal to anyone who couldn't care less about fashion. It was a beautiful show for someone who couldn't care less about fashion.
WWD: How do you respond to cultural stimuli? How has it changed over the years?
M.J.: I don't know. It does change but I'm not sure I can put my finger on how it's changed. It's funny, this idea of the show as becoming entertainment and this little sort of fantasy moment — when you go to see the clothes in the shop, they're all wearable clothes, whether you choose to wear them or not. But I think it's become, over the past few years it's become, a really big part of the process that I really love putting on the show and sort of surprising myself and the audience in some way. Giving this little seven-minute or 11-minute — on time — it's a little escape, like a little bit of theater.
WWD: That seven minutes will exist only in that seven minutes. Does that make it all the more special?
M.J.: It's kind of the craziest thing. People like Rachel, to design and build the set, to see how many people it took day and night — and to know it was going to be torn down. That goes against what every artist believes in. Art is supposed to last forever, but this show.…We rehearse it once without clothes, which happens an hour before the show. Either it goes right and it works or it doesn't. It's so crazy. Six months of work and then a real roll of the dice: Is it going to work? There's no do-over. There's no, "Wait — we're going to start that over again. It wasn't right."
WWD: You mentioned Prada and Schiaparelli. In the past you've said that you think women are the greatest contributors to fashion. Why?
M.J.: I guess it's just a historical thing. There's something about those women — Vionnet, Chanel, Schiaparelli, Miuccia, Rei [Kawakubo] — I think there's something very unconventional, and still it seems maybe because they're women and they have an appreciation and love for fashion and they can sort of wear it themselves that there's a certain intelligence. Even when something is subversive or unusual, you can't call them misogynists. When Miuccia sends a woman out at a Prada show in a fur jacket and panties, she's not making fun of women, but when a guy does it, it becomes sort of sexist. There's an integrity and an intelligence that comes with those women.
WWD: Your physical transformation — now old news. You got a lot of press when you lost weight, you cut your hair but it did seem to mark a turning point for you.
M.J.: Yes. I felt a lot better and I tend to do more of what makes me feel good. I started to hear from people that I looked great. I enjoyed going shopping for clothes, which made it more personal. I didn't care about how I looked when I sort of was having all these problems with my stomach and not eating well. I was spending 16 hours in the studio, eating McDonald's and KFC and junk food, so I felt pretty horrible. I think when I started to get in shape and spend time at the gym I could be better to other people and be better to myself and get back to loving fashion and experience it myself. I started to wear kilts and lace dresses.
WWD: You for a while were a mainstay in the tabloid pages, and not so much nowadays.
M.J.: Well, not since Kim and Kanye took my thunder.
WWD: Was that a conscious decision?
M.J.: No, I guess I'm just old news.
WWD: You grew up in New York. Let's talk about growing up. What do you remember most vividly about being a teenager in the Seventies and Eighties?
M.J.: Going out to clubs and enjoying that a lot. It was so much fun to go to all the different clubs and I loved nightlife and I loved the way people looked at night. I loved hearing music and going to concerts. Everything felt like a first. Even though I had those firsts many times, it didn't get old for quite a while. And New York, I think now it's different but there were places in New York where young artistic people could afford to live. So there were things going on in the East Village and you'd hear about Madonna at the Roxy before anyone knew her, and you could actually be there and be like, Madonna's singing again. There were pockets of creativity. All of that seemed new. All of that was pre-computers, too, so people actually talked to each other or ignored each other but they did it face to face.

Kansas lawmakers slam federal health care law
Published on -8/20/2013, 10:12 AM

E-Mail This Story
WICHITA, Kan. (AP) -- Members of Kansas' all-Republican congressional delegation seem to agree the coming weeks are critical to the future of the federal health care law. They're less certain about how to stop it.
In a session titled "Over the Cliff -- Digging in on Taxes," U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins told the Kansas Independent Oil and Gas Association on Monday that Republicans have two upcoming "pressure points" -- defund the government and refuse to raise the debt ceiling. But the likelihood of the Congress agreeing on the priorities is next to none, she said.
"So I think we are looking at a continuing resolution which would fund the government," she said. "And I don't know if Republicans, any of us, are real thrilled about continuing the priorities of this administration in that continuing resolution."
She said Republicans agree the debt ceiling has got to be raised for a few more years to balance the budget, but ultimately, they want to fix the tax code and what they say are driving the country's debt, Medicare and the health care law, she told the crowd at the group's annual convention in Wichita.
Enrollment for the health law's new coverage options starts Oct. 1, and benefits kick in Jan. 1.
U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp said the health care law is not ready to be implemented and is holding back economic growth.
"I don't believe in shutting down the government, but I do believe in shutting down Obamacare," he said.
He urged the independent oil and gas producers in the crowd to tell people in Washington how the law affects small businesses.
"Hey, we have five weeks before this thing kicks in," Huelskamp said.
Sen. Pat Roberts said he's working to obtain support for legislation that would delay the law's implementation, saying that it's difficult to take away a subsidy once it's been granted.
And U.S. Rep Mike Pompeo said that Republicans will do what it takes to stop the law.
"If that means that we come to a point where we have to stand there and have a few days when the government is 'shutdown' so be it. It's fine with me. It is not my goal," he said, adding he didn't know if that would get them much and it could leave them in a worse position.

Fire consolidation with Village of Pewaukee?
The Village of Pewaukee is "bothered" by the costs associated with their Fire and EMS Services through the City of Pewaukee, according to President Calder. They've decided to start looking elsewhere, beginning with nearby fire consolidation talks.
"But I look at the rate history -- in 2004, we paid $1,740 per call. Our new rate is $5,796 a call. You look at the challenges we have with our budget and you look at this total amount… that is a significant part of our budget," President Calder said.
The Village of Pewaukee currently contracts those services to the City of Pewaukee Fire Department. While the board made it clear that there are in no way complaints over the quality of services, they are concerned by the costs.
"I think we need to take a serious look, at possibly some options or thinking outside of the box, to see what we might be able to do and look at what could help save this community."
Many of the board members would like to think outside of the box and into the Lake Country Fire & Rescue. LCFR already focuses around the City of Delafield and the Villages of Nashotah and Chenequa. The Lake Country Reporter recently highlighted other potential fire consolidation talks with the City Oconomowoc, Town of Delafield and the Village of Hartland.

» Read Full ArticleProposed travel center rejected in Lisbon
Town of Lisbon - After nearly 2 1/2 hours of deliberations Thursday night, the plan commission, for a second time, voted 4 to 3 to deny a conditional use permit for a proposed travel center complex at the roundabout intersection of Highways Q and 164.
The commission rejected in December by an identical vote the plans for a fueling center, convenience store, car wash and restuarant on the site that was once occupied by an banking facility. The developers asked the commission to reconsider the vote.
A majority of the commissioners argued that the project was too large for the location.
They said the traffic it would generate would pose a hazard to motorist trying to access nearby existing businesses and naviagate the roundabout.
For example, they noted, vehicles north bound on Hwy. 164 would have to pass through the roundabout and head west on Highway Q in order to access the complex.

Senior Ally May had 14 points and 11 rebounds for the Warhawks. Augy Jepsen chipped in with 9 points. McKenna Vento, Grace Gilmore, Katie Hinzey and Megan Peterson also scored for AHS.
Mukwonago man killed in forklift accident
City of Waukesha — A 52-year-old Mukwonago man was killed in an industrial accident March 4.
Kenneth J. LaChance was killed instantly when he was struck in the head in an accident involving a forklift at Waukesha Iron and Metal, 1351 E Main St.

Waukesha bank teller charged with skimming from customers' accounts
According to prosecutors, it didn't take long for a Dousman woman to take advantage of the teller job she got at a Waukesha bank last summer.
Within a month after Stephanie Butler began working at Waukesha State Bank in August, money began disappearing from the accounts of customers she helped, according to a criminal complaint that charges her with more than two dozen counts of theft and identity theft.
When customers made withdrawals, Butler would take out more than the requested sums and keep the difference, according to the complaint. After customers noticed discrepancies on their statements and complained, bank officials counseled Butler and began monitoring her more closely.
The bank's internal controls caught up with Butler, and she was fired by the end of September when her drawer was $1,000 short one day. But even after she left the bank, Butler used customers' accounts to pay her own bills, the complaint charges. In all, investigators think she diverted more than $21,000.
Butler used the money to pay her own credit card, utility and auto lease bills, and to buy $300 to $400 of Percocet, a narcotic painkiller. She told police she was addicted and bought the drug in Milwaukee.

Originally, the complex had been targeted for $2.4 million, but fundraising fell short in late January. But in February, the school board agreed to another extension (now May 13) to raise the remaining funds.
According to AHS Business Manager Steve Kopecky, the project is now slated for $1.6 million, with one turf field and one grass field. The original plan for the complex had two turf fields.

City of Oconomowoc - City aldermen entered into closed session on March 3 during their regular Tuesday night meeting to discuss what steps the city would take regarding a recent lawsuit filed against the council.
A civil complaint was filed on Jan. 7 by an attorney representing Rockwell Development LLC and Fowler Lake Village LLC and alleged misconduct by the council when aldermen in early December chose to reject a development agreement for the controversial Fowler Lake Village condominium project.
Aldermen had not made a decision on what the city's next step might be before this article was written, but according to the council's agenda were expected to vote on a resolution disallowing the plaintiff's claim.
The city on Jan. 30 filed a legal response to allegations in Waukesha County Circuit Court categorically denying any wrongdoing in the Fowler Lake Village saga.
The lawsuit filed against the council claimed that the city acted in an "arbitrary, unreasonable and capricious manner" when it rejected the development agreement, and asserted that "the common council ... exercised its will rather than its judgment."

A man shot by aThe incident began on June 2 when Jeffrey Duvernell's girlfriend called 911, concerned about his safety. His girlfriend told police Duvernell was probably on his 10-acre property in Vernon. Three deputies searched for him and found his car in a field.
One of the deputies, Steven Lyles, later told Waukesha police and internal investigators that Duvernell ignored an order to show his hands and then raised his right hand, holding a shiny metal object that Lyles believed was a gun.
Duvernell said he had been sleeping when deputies approached the car and was reaching for the door when the deputy fired.
The gunshot struck Duvernell in the hand. Lyles, a nine-year Sheriff's Department veteran, was cleared of wrongdoing in the shooting and did not face criminal charges or internal discipline.

Going out? Plan extra time
March has come roaring in like a lion with snow this morning, making for a messy commute.
Roads -- even city streets -- are snow covered, and the drive is not an easy one. Motorists should plan extra time to get where they're going.
Forecasters say the snow should ease off by this afternoon, but is expected to be followed by sleet and/or freezing rain.
Tomorrow, look for colder temps -- in the teens. But it's Wisconsin in March, so things are looking up; it could reach mid-30s by the weekend.
Arrowhead responds to locker room criticism
The reactions differed, but one thing was clear: people were talking about the renovated Arrowhead girls and boys basketball locker rooms.
A photo gallery and story were posted on LakeCountryNow.com on Wednesday, Feb. 25, and were immediately met with support, opposition and everything in between on social media.
Since the photos and story were released, Arrowhead has come under criticism in some cases for the locker room renovation project; district officials think there are inaccuracies being discussed on social media and in subsequent media stories.
Read our entire story here, or check out the article in Tuesday's Lake Country Reporter.

GUILLAUME FELIKSDAL WAS THRILLED WHEN HE BOUGHT HIS FIRST 3D PRINTER KIT. Finally he could prototype parts for his humanoid walking robot! But he became frustrated by the days-long process of building and calibrating it. Like a punk rocker inspired to play by seeing the Sex Pistols or the Ramones, Feliksdal told himself, "I could do that. I could do better!"

Accessible material includes all course materials and university websites. Existing material may need to be revised or reformatted to allow access to all viewers/students. These formats may include: Braille, enlarged fonts, electronic copies, audio copies, or captioning of videos, and may be processed through the Etext team.
Web AccessibilityThe Web Accessibility team spends the majority of their time ensuring the accessibility of all university related web sites, web content, and web applications for people with disabilities. These committed individuals also offer up universal design and accessibility services where staff and faculty can submit their content to be checked or edited for accessibility.

Goucher hired eight new professors for the Fall semester. Each comes from several different disciplines and hail from various states and even from abroad.
Dr. Evan Dawley is a new assistant professor in the History department. He received his doctorate in East Asian studies from Harvard University and previously worked at the Office of the Historian in the State Department and taught at Reed College, Georgetown and George Washington University. Dawley became interested in the study of Asia when he was in high school during the protests in Tiananmen Square. When asked how he feels about Goucher after his first week, he said, "It feels right."

Musicians have been weighing in on politics for years. Here are 13 who have waded into some especially tough battles, according to ABC News.
Silversun Pickups -- This Indie rock band made headlines when it ordered Mitt Romney to stop using its hit "Panic Switch" at campaign events in August 2012. Said the group's lead singer, "We don't like the Romney campaign."
Devo -- They were a household name in the 1980s, and Devo is back in the spotlight for their new single, "Seamus," about Mitt Romney's dog. Romney admitted to strapping the dog to the roof of the car during a 1984 trip from Boston to Canada.
Kid Rock -- Fellow Michigan native Kid Rock threw his support behind Mitt Romney, performing at a Romney rally in February. His song, "Born Free," is the Romney campaign's anthem.
Megadeath -- Megadeath frontman Dave Mustaine endorsed Rick Santorum for president earlier this year, and made headlines for saying President Obama was behind the theater shooting in Aurora, Colo., and the Sikh temple shooting in Wisconsin.
Kelly Clarkson -- The "American Idol" winner tweeted her support of GOP candidate Ron Paul in December 2011.
Willie Nelson -- The country crooner sold out a concert in Lorain, Ohio, in January 2012 in support of his friend, Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich. He's also spoken in favor of laws to legalize marijuana.
Hank Williams Jr. -- It's well known Williams is no fan of President Obama, but he still raised eyebrows in October 2011 when he compared the president to Adolf Hitler on "Fox and Friends."
Tom Petty -- The singer-songwriter served Rep. Michele Bachmann with a cease-and-desist letter in June 2011, ordering her to stop using his song "American Girl" at campaign events. Hillary Clinton used the song during her 2008 presidential run without complaint.
David Byrne -- The former Talking Heads frontman slammed Florida Gov. Charlie Crist for using the group's "Road to Nowhere" in a video spot for his Senate campaign. Crist was forced to apologize on YouTube as part of an out-of-court settlement.
Lee Greenwood -- A Republican Party supporter, the "God Bless the USA" singer was appointed by President George W. Bush to the National Council of the Arts for a six-year term.
Kinky Friedman -- The country singer campaigned for Texas governor in 2006, promising to "dewussify" the state. He's also voiced his support for GOP presidential candidate and current Gov. Rick Perry.
Natalie Maines and Toby Keith -- Keith slammed the Dixie Chicks singer after she said in 2004 she was ashamed of President George W. Bush's Texas roots and questioned his policies in Iraq. He went so far as to use backdrops of Maines with Saddam Hussein at his concerts.
Bruce Springsteen -- President Ronald Reagan received a sharp rebuke from Springsteen for using the Boss' hit "Born in the U.S.A." at campaign rallies in 1984. It was one of the first battles over the use of songs in political campaigns.

Ceramic pieces are part of the region's tradition and are an almost mandatory article on the shopping list of those visiting Valencia. The city´s markets, besides having beautiful buildings, are the perfect place to find the typical Valencia.
The best way to get into the spirit of the city is to go by the markets, whether inside or outdoor. Among the most interesting fairs is the one taking place on Sunday mornings in Plaza Redonda and that, beside plants and animals, has a great variety of paintings, books, leather pieces and records, mainly second hand. If you still have time and appreciate stamp and coin collections, you can go by the Lonja de la Seda. The city's markets, like de Mercado Central (www.mercadocentralvalencia.es) or the Mercado de Colón are true art forms that you should visit and where you can also find fresh products, like fruit and flowers, as well as some local specialties. Nearby there are several shops where a bit of everything is sold and that can be the solution for whoever is looking for something different. Related to craftwork, handmade ceramic pieces made in Paterna stand out, but the hand painted fan, with exotic wood and ivory applications, is also much sought for. The streets near Ayuntamiento, of Virgen and Patriarca squares lodge shops specialized in craftwork and local products. The art gallery's and antique shops are in the oldest part of town, while the main fashion brands can be found in big warehouses or their own shops.

At SBI 40, the SBI will consider the LEG work programme for 2014-2015, which is contained in the report on the LEG twenty-fifth meeting.
The LEG Chair's statement at the opening of the SBI 40 plenary is available here (125 kB) .
The LEG is presenting its work on NAPAs and NAPs at a side event, Thursday 5 June 2014, Room Solar (Ministry of Environment). The programme is available here (94 kB) .
The LEG completed its four regional training workshops for 2012-2013 for LDCs on adaptation (FCCC/SBI/2013/16) and further developed its support to LDCs for the NAP process.
The LEG also finalized the technical guidelines for the NAP process. Accompanying resources (an overview publication, Poster and CD-ROM) are also available for use by the LDCs in formulating their NAPs. They are available here.
In response to the mandate of the Subsidiary Body for Implementation at its thirty seventh session (SBI 37) (FCCC/SBI/2012/33, paragraphs 53-73), the LEG organized an event, in conjunction with SBI 38, to launch the NAP process in LDCs. The event, entitled ''NAP expo: launching of the NAP process'', took place on Sunday 9 June 2013.
The LEG, in response to the COP requests at COP 17, developed technical guidelines for the NAP process and organized an expert meeting to review the draft guidelines. Furthermore, the expert group designed training materials and conducted one of four regional training workshops on adaptation for LDCs.
At COP18/SBI 37, the SBI requested the LEG to organize a NAP event at the next SBI session.
At COP 17 in Durban, the LEG was requested to provide technical guidance and support to the NAP process (decision 5/CP.17). The COP requested the LEG to also prepare technical guidelines for the NAP process based on the initial guidelines adopted at this COP and arrange a review of the technical guidelines before COP 19. The LEG was also to identify support for the process of formulation and implementation of the NAPs and to invite the Adaptation Committee (AC) and other relevant bodies under the Convention to contribute to its work in support of the NAP process.
In addition, the COP requested the LEG (decision 9/CP.17) to provide further specification on each of the elements of the LDC work programme other than the NAPA, in consultation with the GEF.
In Cancun, the COP (decision 6/CP.16), renewed the mandate of the LEG for a period of five years (2011-2015). The LEG mandate was also expanded to include the provision of support to the LDCs on the revision and update of NAPAs, the LDC work programme, gender considerations and considerations of other vulnerable communities, and medium-and long-term adaptation.
The LEG activities included the publication of a step-by-step guide for implementing NAPA. In addition, over the course of 2009-2010, the expert group, organized five regional training workshops on implementing NAPAs. The workshops took place respectively in Tanzania for African Anglophone LDCs (2009), Mali for Francophone LDCs (2010), Lao's People Democratic Republic for Asian LDCs (2010), Sao Tome and Principe for Lusophone LDCs (2010) and Samoa for Pacific LDCs (2010)
The COP requested the LEG (decision 4/CP.10) to prepare possible elements on the role of the Expert Group in support of the implementation of NAPAs and to include in its next report to the SBI, in consultation with LDC Parties, information on potential technical and financial difficulties that LDC Parties may have in the implementation of NAPAs.
In 2003, the LEG organized four regional training workshops on NAPA preparation in Samoa for Pacific LDCs, Ethiopia for African Anglophone LDCs, Bhutan for Asian LDCs and Burkina Faso for Francophone LDCs.
At its seventh session, in Marrakech, the COP adopted the LDC work programme (decision 5/CP.7). This programme is the most substantial support that had, as yet, been given to the LDCs in relation to climate change over the decade 2001-2010. Under this programme, the COP established the LDCF (decision 7/CP.7), as well as the LEG (decision 29/CP.7) The LEG was initially mandated to provide technical guidance and advice to LDCs for the preparation and implementation of NAPAs.

Hunters are a special breed, dedicated to tracking down treasures, magical beasts, and even other men. But such pursuits require a license, and less than one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling qualification exam. Those who do pass gain access to restricted areas, amazing stores of information, and the right to call themselves Hunters.

The Common Man's Guide to Hunters
What do you want to do?
If you live in this world, you have to have something you're striving for. Something that you'll fight for till the very end, beyond all reason and limitations.
So is it wealth? Power? Revenge? Your loved ones? Your own survival? Or perhaps a bit of excitement?
Well, sometimes it doesn't really matter. Chances are though, unless you just want to live a normal boring life, becoming a Hunter is the easiest way to achieve your goal.
Those who sought power used the influence of Hunters and rose on to become leaders, presidents, even dictators of their own personal countries.
No Hunter has to ever worry about such things as money, nearly every expense is taken care of and a yearly salary is given even if you do absolutely nothing.
Of course, no one fights more than a Hunter and they have every tool imaginable at their disposal.
The list could go on forever, but the simplest way to understand is to simply open your history textbook and look up all the famous people within. It doesn't really matter where you're from or what time period you're reading this, it's assured that more than half the people you find are Hunters of one kind or another.
Do you want to become a Hunter?
So what exactly is a Hunter?
Simply put, a Hunter is a paid adventurer. Often times they have considerable fighting abilities, but that's where their similarities usually end. Hunters are completely free to choose what they'd like to specialize in whether that be searching for rare jewels, wild life, lost treasures, medical miracles, criminals, bounties or even nothing at all. The most notable thing about being a Hunter is the amount of privileges and resources given to them. Hunters are free to travel to any place in the world, can bypass most security checks, given access to a vast information network and records from nearly every country. Services such as car rental, world-wide lodging, attorneys-at-any-time and instant-response medical attention are all available. Every thing is provided by the Hunter Organization and the only thing they ask in return is 10% of your greatest achievements.
How do I become a Hunter?
With so many benefits and services, nearly everyone wants to become a Hunter. However before you can even take the yearly Hunter Exam, you must first catch the eye of an actual Hunter. While most times, Hunters can't be bothered to look for new recruits, if by chance they do stumble onto any they can recommend them immediately to the Organization. Then there are Hunters who don't hunt for jewels or what-not, but rather potential Hunters. Run across one of these folks, show them the right thing or two and you might be invited to the Hunter Exam. But there's no point in telling you about the Hunter Exam here since the conditions and rules change every year. Here's an important piece of information, though: Most of the Hunters who look for potential talent like to roam the earth aimlessly, however there is one place in the world that is guaranteed to have at least one Hunter around and that's the Celestial Tower.
Celestial Tower?
A 251-floor building of life and death fights, it's the capital of violence and brutality and cheating and gambling. The lower-ranked fighters battle it out in large numbers on the lower floors and the higher-ranked ones duel each other on the higher floors. Fighters do it for glory and the cash prizes while spectators get to watch the bloody spectacle and make wagers. It's the perfect place to showcase your fighting abilities if you were ever so inclined. It's also the best place to nab the attention of a Hunter. Beware two things, many seeking to be Hunters will come and safety is NOT guaranteed.
Victories are determined in a match only by KOs and TKOs (dropping to the ground or getting knocked out of the ring and being counted out for ten seconds).
Anything else?
Don't die. Weapons are allowed at the Celestial Tower. You need to be intelligent as well as strong in order to become a Hunter. Watch out for Fake Hunters, swindlers and other suspicious folk. Have the strength to accept failure.
Finally, ask yourself, "Do I really want to risk it all in order to become a Hunter?"
If yes, then the best of luck and let nothing come between you and your desires for long.
Details You Might Want to Bring Up as a Fan of Hunter x Hunter
Not till you pass the Hunter Exam. Explanations will be done fully then, IC. Don't worry, I'll be trying to stick as close as possible to Wing's explanation and whatever other details he didn't manage to cover.
How long till we get to the Hunter Exam?
You won't be fighting long in the Celestial Tower, so don't worry. But I think it's important that you guys meet each other before the Exam.
Will the Exam be just like the one from the original?
Why are you changing it from the original? Not just the exam, too, I mean everything!
It's an Epic. That's what I'm trying to emulate here. An epic like Beowulf or Gilgamesh. This is how I've decided to do it. Besides, it's for some serious character development both in terms of fighting skills and in personality. First comes basic fighting skills, then comes the ability to think through obstacles cleverly, then comes Nen, then finally wide-ranging adventure reaching freedom.
It's most important to note that you are starting from a lowly position and based on the progression I gave a second ago, I want to see your character grow. More than anything else, that's what this RP will be about Growth.
Character Sheet
Age: (You're young. 12-20ish, no exceptions.)
Appearance: (You don't have to be buff to be strong in this RP. Little eight-year-old kids who have little to no special powers still manage to beat up super buff body-builders.)
Fighting abilities: (Again, no Nen. Just list here if your character practices any martial arts or anything. It's fine if you say don't have any or much at all. The beginning fights will play out like Kung Fu movies, so keep that in mind. Feel free to be as dirty or as clean of a fighter as you want.)
Weapons: (Optional, but don't make it overly elaborate or make too big of a weapon. Simple is best. And sooner or later you'll probably be giving up your weapon when you get Nen.)
Background: (Make it skimmable, I'm not gonna read it fully. If we're going to find out anything about you, do it IC. Just make it very basic.)

The DSCSC can process residential plans, too; however, they will be sent
to the Litchford Satellite Office for review. This results in a short
delay due to routing. For faster service, please visit our residential
plans specialist at the Litchford Satellite Office.
Submittals received prior to 4 p.m. will be routed to plan review staff
the same business day. All submittals received after 4 p.m. will be
routed to plan review staff the next business day. All cashiering
functions end at 4:30 p.m.

It's time for action on gun violence
Friday, February 1, 2013
As I write this column, the news is covering still another shooting, this time on a college campus. We will learn who was involved, who was standing where when it happened, who witnessed it, who was hurt, who the hurt people's friends and families are. Students — reportedly 10,000 students attend the college — will say how terrified they were. And then … the story of this shooting will be dropped from the news cycle, only to be replaced by another shooting story. And Americans will wonder why we can't seem to stop the violence. Or can we?
The fight was already ugly, but that's where it got uglier. The head of the National Rifle Association said that President Obama was "attacking firearms and ignoring children." There was a sea of outrage that President Obama had children at the event. Children were at the site of the massacre — I think it is appropriate that children who knew it happened and wrote about it should be in the room when grownups say we are going to try to stop this from happening again to children, or anyone else. The NRA leadership also dragged the President's own children into the fray, as they falsely warned that President Obama was going to take guns away from law-abiding citizens.
It's time to stop the fighting and work on the solutions here. It is time to stop bowing to special interests and yes, the money they bring to campaigns, and talk about how we are going to protect both the right to have guns for sport and for protection, and the right to be safe from gun violence.
I support President Obama's call to close loopholes in gun trafficking laws, and to beef up law enforcement in communities. Let's also step up mental health services, and work together to encourage a reduction of violence in video games and television and movies. All of these ideas should be the easiest to enact. There is another step, an assault weapon ban, that will require more political debate, but these ideas listed here are common-sense ideas that should have no political test of courage attached to them. Can't we at least get this done now? Let's get it done now. It already has been a long and deadly wait. |

Is Really Simple Syndication (RSS) still relevant?

Although a lot of people still question the relevancy and necessity of RSS, it remains an essential element and make-up of the web, but why should we continue to make friends with it?
