Twelve-year-old Mark Goodrich Jr. was just being a normal kid trying to have a good time when he drowned last summer at a swimming hole in the Shenango River on the Ohio-Pennsylvania border.
Mark was one of several kids who were swimming near a rusting railroad bridge adjacent to the former Sharon Steel property along the river that day, July 13.
It's an area that's inaccessible to most anyone but kids enjoying a bit of mischievousness summer "fun" that can prove dangerous and even deadly because of the depth of water there and the current of the river.
"It's a summertime hangout for kids. When I was 10 years old I'd have been down there too," Farrell City Manager Michael Ceci said recently.
Ceci, a boyhood friend of Goodrich's father, Mark Goodrich Sr. of Sharon, has tried to do what he can to get the railroad bridge, which had been idle for 50 years, torn down, which he thinks would remove some of the attraction that bend in the river has for Shenango Valley youth.
"This bothers me," Ceci said recently when he decided to go public with his efforts to get the bridge removed after it appears they've fallen on the deaf ears of railroad officials who own the bridge.
The bridge is owned by Norfolk Southern Railroad. It used to connect to tracks on the other side of the Shenango River at the extreme eastern edge of the former Sharon Steel Corp. property that stretches from the east edge of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard to Ohio.
The property is now owned by NLMK Pennsylvania, but the bridges remained the property of the railroad. It hasn't been used for 50 years, Ceci said officials at the mill told him.
Ceci's written to state officials on both sides of the border, along with Rep. Tim Ryan, D-17th District, Youngstown, and they've been sympathetic to his plight, he said.
But the railroad has been less-than-willing to take action.
Chris Cupples, who works as an aide for Ryan, was able to talk with a railroad official, who told him the railroad was interested in keeping the bridge in place because it "could be of value in the future."
Ceci questioned the railroad's reasoning.
"It's like having $5 locked away in a safe you can't get to," Ceci said of the bridge, which has been a literal "bridge to nowhere" for decades.
"It's like saying, 'I'm going to save this sock with a hole in it because one day I'm going to sew it,' " Ceci said.
The railroad contends police should patrol the area to discourage trespassers, but the area is remote and can only be reached by taking a hike down a hill and through brush to the banks of the river.
"It's passing the buck. They're above worrying about this," Ceci said. "This bothers me."
The railroad is planning to put up fencing to restrict access, but that isn't enough in Ceci's book.
"For them to say that the bridge can be reused some day is a joke," Ceci said. "Let's get rid of this thing. Let's think about the kids."

Derrick Rose Is the Most Athletic Point Guard Ever
Use your real eyes to realize…
But it was no lie. I was there.
Derrick Rose is like Musika by KRS-One. One foot stompin' in the past and the other kicking conventional thought like the Blast Master into the future. Imagine before the horns in the track go frantic that Derrick is gliding up the court about to go patented Mike but stops in the air to create something way different in reverse.
Something space suit different.
He's already a classic. Yo, the young fella just turned 20 and is already in the discussion of the most athletic point guard ever.
He's a rookie, but you have to respect the above statement. Just callin' it how I see 'em.
Just a few off the top of my head…feel free to add yours. Click the pic and dig the rest on SLAM.

Charlie "Chuck" Cantor has joined the football staff at Middle Tennessee as an offensive graduate assistant.
A native of New Hyde Park, New York, Cantor comes to Middle Tennessee from the University of Georgia where he was an assistant recruiting coordinator for Coach Mark Richt since the spring of 2008. He spear-headed the day-to-day recruiting coordination, and was an integral part of the recruiting efforts that landed Georgia's "Dream Team" recruiting class of 2011, considered by many to be the top recruiting class in the country.
He also played a big role in coordinating major parts of the Mark Richt Football Camp in Athens. He oversaw the 7-on-7 Passing League Camps in 2010 and 2011, co-coordinated Mini-Camp and Dawg Night activities in 2008-09-10 before being appointed as head coordinator for the two popular events in 2011.
Before working at the University of Georgia, Cantor spent one year at Rutgers University, working on the football staff there as a Recruiting Assistant from the spring of 2007 through the spring of 2008.
Cantor attended Florida State University where he was an honor student while simultaneously earning B.S. Degrees in two majors, Social Science Education and Sports Management. He graduated in 2006, having made the College of Education Dean's list every semester for four and a half years. He graduated in the fall of 2006 with a cumulative grade point average of 3.729.
Additional honors included Kappa Delta Pi Honor Society, Golden Key Honor Society and Phi Sigma Theta National Honor Society. From there, Cantor went on to graduate school at FSU where he is currently finalizing his Master's Degree program in Sports Management with a GPA of 3.7, and is only two classes short of completing work on his degree.
While at Florida State, Cantor began his football career as a volunteer student manager in 2002. He became a full-time student manager in 2003. He coached at the Bobby Bowden Football Camp from 2003-2006. He was a student assistant with tight ends in 2004, then added quarterbacks to his duties the following year.
After earning his two undergraduate degrees, Cantor was promoted to Graduate Assistant where he worked in recruiting as well as with the Seminole offense in 2006-2007.

Galactorrhea is a milky nipple discharge unrelated to the normal milk production of breast-feeding. Galactorrhea itself isn't a disease, but it's a sign of an underlying problem. Although it occurs most often in women, galactorrhea can happen in men and even sometimes in infants.
Excessive breast stimulation, medication side effects, or disorders of the pituitary gland all may contribute to galactorrhea. Often, galactorrhea results from increased levels of prolactin, the hormone that stimulates milk production.
Sometimes, the cause of galactorrhea can't be determined, and the condition goes away on its own.

- Publisher: Almost Human
- Release Date: Apr 11, 2012
- Summary: Legend of Grimrock is a dungeon crawling game inspired by oldschool classics of the genre while still bringing its own twists to the game. The game features survival, combat, magic, puzzles and role-playing elements. The player is a prisoner sentenced to death and exiled to the secluded Mount Grimrock for vile crimes he may or may not have committed. Unbeknownst to his captivators, the mountain is riddled with ancient tunnels and dungeons. The player's mission is to form a team and escape by descending through the mountain, level by level. During the journey the player encounters mysterious puzzles, deadly traps, ancient tombs and horrible monsters left behind by crumbled civilizations long perished now.

Apr 10, 2012The level design, enemy placement, and especially the puzzles are all, by and large, wonderfully crafted. There are a few instances where the "traps" seem more unfair than clever, but that hardly tarnishes what is otherwise a terrific experience. You'll be hard-pressed to find a modern game like Legend of Grimrock any time soon, but with a game of this quality, you won't need one.
Apr 16, 2012Legend of Grimrock deserves candlelight and graph paper. Who knows how long it will take until someone will bridge the gap between an idealized past and the reality of now in such a wonderful way again; and if it will be in such an uncompromising and yet perfectly working way, as it was accomplished with Legend of Grimrock.
Apr 4, 2012If you are a fan of classic Dungeon Crawlers then there isn't a whole lot to complain about with Legend of Grimrock. This is a tribute to games like Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder and Ultima Underworld.
Apr 23, 2012The tutorial aspects of the game are also a bit thin, with the smallest of introductions to the base concepts, while the more intricate aspects need to be figured out as you play through.
May 23, 2012In a way, The Legend of Grimrock is a lot like Dark Souls. The game rewards calculated, meticulous play and any severe injuries or deaths are likely a result of not taking in your surroundings. There are a lot of ways to die in Grimrock and if you're not paying attention, taking the time to search out better gear and learn to craft potions, you're going to have a difficult time with it. However, there's a great feeling of accomplishment as you traverse each floor, defeating powerful monsters and figuring out puzzle solutions on your own.
May 9, 2012Legend of Grimrock proves old school dungeon crawls aren't dead yet. Thanks to its challenging gameplay it is recommended not only to nostalgic players but to any RPG admirer. [May 2012]
Apr 26, 2012For every puzzle that rewards experimentation and inventive thinking, there are a handful where you're supposed to find a button blending into a random panel of the dungeon's wall.

Nov 28, 2012I play this with my wife (40years old. I-never-played-game-before) and sometimes with my nephew (a 20years old hardcore gamer). Both of them love the game. I consider myself a hardcore player too and, of course, I am so happy with L.O.G. Everything is well designed. Graphics are so good for a dungeon crawler and dont feel "indie" ( I shared a couple of screenshots in Facebook and EVERYBODY said they were so pretty). Thats what I can say about the appealing of this game. For the gameplay, I can say is wonderful, right click option is so beautiful, leveling system is simple but not dull, Spell casting system is a big hit for me. I love how it feels like a mage thing, not just a "click" thing, when you must remember and select correctly the runes for your spell, being under attack. Is not difficult (my mage killed more enemies than everyone else) and flavored. The only "bad" point about this game is the lack of NPCs interaction, like cities or shops, which could be awesome, making it one of the top 10 games ever, but without this, it just gets the title of Best Game of 2012.… Expand
Apr 12, 2012Great assets (graphics, music and sound) revitalize the long-lost old-school gameplay enjoyed by generations of gamers. GAD-kids may not understand this gameplay, but it's really that good and I can't wait for the user-created content. Running through more than once with a new party is also fun because the differentiation of races and classes is significant.… Expand
Jul 14, 2012Bought the game after my brothers recommendation, not expecting much, but holy **** I was surprised by how much fun I'm having with this one. It's definetly an old school RPG, with rooms and corridors and going into keeper and deeper levels of the dungeon. You get four characters in your party, four races to choose from, and the three classic classes, fighter, mage and rouge. You never get to see your characters, and you all only take up one space, so all of your guys are working together as a unit, though individuals can still die if you don't watch what you're doing.. You can also pick custom character portraits for them, which make it a lot of fun if you make up your team from your friends. The combat's pretty sweet and the puzzles are good enough to be fun and not frustrating, and some pretty interesting **** happens at around level 5, if you're paying attention. Pick this one up.
Soon there's gonna be a map editor, so we can make our own sweet dungeons. I was also slightly surprised to see that levels aren't randomly generated, that would have been awesome.… Expand
Jun 4, 2012Great return to the old dungeon crawler style of games. Not quite as in depth as games of yore: Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder, Bloodwych, etc. but hopefully with expansions and updates it can become the game it deserves to be.… Expand
Dec 11, 2013I have never been interested in dungeon games but Grimrock persuaded me that there is at least one true adventure which takes place within the four walls and infects everyone with claustrophobia. So many puzzles, breath-hold moments and atmosperic stuff that it is impossible to forget this journey.… Expand

The intruder woke her in her bedroom early on a recent Sunday morning. He had a gun, he told her, and he forced her to do what he wanted.
When he finally left, the 56-year-old woman reported the rape to police. Her case stands out for two reasons:

A Newton man charged with recklessly killing his girlfriends 18-month-old daughter, who was found dead after being left alone to nap in a car seat, has waived his right to a preliminary hearing and will face a jury trial on Aug. 25.
Jason M. Bugner, 21, is charged with a count of involuntary manslaughter in the Aug. 30, 2012, death of Farrah Pendland. According to an amended autopsy report dated September 2013, the girl died by strangulation after she was fastened into a car seat by only its top buckles and placed on the edge of a futon mattress while Bugner visited with a friend in another room.
When he checked on her later, Bugner found the car seat partially overturned and the toddler suspended with the car seat strap around her neck, according to the amended autopsy report.
The Kansas Supreme Court on Friday overturned death sentences for Jonathan and Reginald Carr, brothers convicted of murdering five people in one of Wichitas most notorious crime sprees.
The states high court in separate rulings issued Friday unanimously struck down three of each mans four capital murder convictions in the Dec. 15, 2000, execution-style killings of four people in a snow-covered soccer field. A remaining capital murder conviction for each man was upheld by the court, but the death sentence connected to it was vacated after a 6-1 majority said the district court judge who presided over the brothers trial the late Paul W. Clark was in error when he refused to hold separate sentencing proceedings for the men.
Justice Nancy Mortiz disagreed with the decision, saying that separate hearings would not have influenced the outcome because witness testimony, the unusually egregious facts of the case and evidence against the Carr brothers was so strong.

Weekend Open ThreadBy
Friday: Happy Friday everyone. Here is your open thread for the night. The Islanders and the Nets are the only local teams in action, so it's a great night to get the heck out of the house. Talk about whatever here. Enjoy.
Saturday: I think I'm just going to start recycling these each weekend rather than creating a new post every night. Save bandwidth, or something. Anyway, the Arizona Fall League Rising Stars Showcase is on tonight (8pm ET on MLB Network), which is basically the All-Star Game. Rather than pick the best statistical performers, they take the best prospects. 3B/C Peter O'Brien is in the starting lineup for the East team and OF Mason Williams is on the roster as well. Full rosters are right here. The three hockey locals are in action and I'm sure there's college football on somewhere. Talk about any and all of it right here.
Sunday: Only a few more hours left in the weekend, you guys. The Colts and Texans are the late NFL game plus the Knicks, Nets, and Devils are all playing as well. Enjoy the rest of the night.

Yanks make qualifying offer to Cano & Kuroda. Not to Granderson. Maybe Hal will go on the radio again and claim 189 isn't set in stone.
When was the last time the Yankees and Red Sox were both dominate in the same season?
If by dominate you mean 'make the playoffs' then 2009.
He must (at least) mean "dominant" instead of "dominate."
2009. Red Sox finished with the third best record in AL, while Yankees obviously had the best record
Can I just say: I'm already bored. Offseasons suck.
I've been bored for a month.
Ha. Yeah. I think for a while I was too miserable with the season to be bored, but at some point in the playoffs I reconciled myself to every team I was cheering for losing, and at that point the boredom started setting in.
Coincidence?: http://nypost.com/2013/11/01/p.....hero-dies/
I think not.
Johnny Kucks. A name I'd heard of but didn't know much about.
But imagine a 23 year old homegrown Yankee pitching a shut-out, on the road, in Game 7 of the World Series, against the cross-town NL rivals! People would absolutely go nuts if that happened today.
I hope he had a great life after baseball and rests easy in that eternal twi-night doubleheader in the sky.
Farewell, Johnny Kucks. Your name is not forgotten.
I was just looking at Jeters career stats and caught his career postseason numbers, and it caught my eye as being just so "jeter" like. Its great.
What i mean by that, is he has about a full MLB season worth of AB's in the postseason and his overall numbers resemble a typical jeter season. Its just so impressive how consistent he is as a player, even in the postseason, against the best pitching staffs of that paticular season. Its crazy!
Heres his career playoff stats-
308BA 20HR 61RBI 32Doub 5Triples 200Hits 18SB in 650AB's.. Freaking awesome man!
I bet that a lot of good players post-season numbers would stabilize around their career averages if they had a season worth of post-season appearances. Pettitte is the same way. It's just that very few players get to have a season worth of data in the post-season.
Did you guys ever see Jeters "Similar Hitters" stat on Baseball Refrence.com??
Its pretty cool, albeit, i don't know there exact formula, all though, some of the players seem almost obvious in there similarities, if you had to pick players to be similar.
Also, they are in order from most similar 1st.
1). Craig Biggio
2). Paul Molitor(the player i always compared jeter to offensively)
3). Robbie Alomar
4). Robin Yount
5). Charlie Gerhinger
6). Johnny Damon
7). Pudge
8). Joe Morgan
Of course had to look at a few other yankees "similar batters" stats..lol
Bernie Williams most similar batters are interesting. Especially his number 1. Check it out!
1). Paul O'neill- Yup, Jethro!!!lol God, i loved those 2!
2). Carlos Beltran- Maybe this will shed light on just how good bernie was to peeps who didn't get to see em every yr, as hes so under rated in the baseball world!
3).Tori Hunter- I don't agree with this. Bernie was better offensively then hunter. Still though, not bad for number 3.
Assuming AROD is suspended for most of next yr, does anyone think Paul Konerko on a 1yr deal is worth a shot for his RH power? He could play DH and 20-25 games at 1st, to give Tex's wrist a half or whole night off from time to time.
He could just need a change of scenery and real chance at postseason to give one more golden egg of a season offensivley. I'd think its worth kicking the tires on.
Real chance at the postseason? Have you taken a look at the Yankees roster?
The roster you speak of was in the playoff hunt for most of the season. Weren't we like 1game out at some point in early september?
Konerko would def have a chance at the postseason in NY this yr. Weather or not you think he'd be a fit or a good addition is up for debate, but not the yanks at worst contending for a postseason spot.
Nope. Always liked Konerko, but he's done.
O'Neill, Bernie and Jeter's lifetime OBP's were within 5 points of each other
That's wrong. I meant O'Neill, Mattingly and Jeter were within 5 points. They were all aroung .830 while Bernie was about .860
You mean OPS?
Reading the negative comments about Jeter makes me feel bad for those people. Although I'm sure plenty of people in 1928 were pissed about Babe Ruth making so many smackers too.
And for clarity, Jeter took a pay cut next year by accepting the $12.5mm. He did not get a raise.
Second point can be looked at both ways, Darren. He was scheduled to take a pay cut anyway. He's taking less of one.
I'm not denying Jeter's being able to make money as a baseball player off the benefit of the doubt that he's Derek Jeter. I just think it's pretty ridiculous if, in fact (and god knows what's true at this point), the first act of an off-season in which restraint has been spoken of for ages was to take a bigger luxury cap hit on him than originally planned.
It's only ridiculous to armchair GMs having fun putting together proposed payrolls and rosters. (no offense, to any of us!)
In the real world, it makes perfect sense. Just read Cashman's comments. The Yanks have enough things to worry about and didn't want to have a protracted negotiation with Jeter. Both sides signed an eminently reasonable deal. They're gonna be working together for the next 40 years. this is more important to them than having some money for Boone Logan.
Anyway. he is taking a pay cut from $17mm this year to $12.5mm next year. I don't see how that's not a pay cut. The $9.5mm option was never a real, legit option, I doubt Cashman "planned" on Jeter exercising it. (The Yankees played hardball with Jeter last negotiation. The option was an insult. A throw in, basically a way of saying, if you totally suck for three years, we'll still let you have one final shot, if you want to embarrass yourself.)
And by the way, Y'all are CRAZY if you think Jeter couldn't have gone on the market and gotten a two year $25mm from someone. I hope the Yankees do this right and have a full on press conference with Jeter at the Stadium. The way it should be.
If they're not going to be taking a crack at payroll, what are they going to do? It's not my cup of tea, but I don't begrudge someone else trying to do amateur payroll on here. We both learn from them every now and then.
They didn't want a prolonged negotiation, yet I got a prolonged wait for the captain this season.
Like I said, I don't care what Derek makes. I just don't want to hear the team tell me three months from now they couldn't afford another guy because of payroll issues.
Without a doubt, I've learned a ton from all of the comments on RAB. And I'm just as guilty of the next guy of playing armchair GM (that's why I said "us" in my original comment). BUT, at some point you have to recognize the reality of a real world negotiation with a Derek Jeter and understand why Cashman isn't gonna nickel and dime him.
Anyone catch the crack on "Weekend Update" last night as to the Cardinals losing the WS to Mumford & Sons?

Mac Game of the Week: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
Odds are that you may have played Knights of the Old Republic once before, but even if so, you may want to pick it up and go through it again anyway. These days, it's a classic, but back when we first heard Bioware (the company behind legendary RPGs like Baldur's Gate) was going to try and make its mark on the Star Wars universe, gamers weren't sure what to expect. What they got when the game released in 2003, however, was a brilliant take on George Lucas' universe, a fascinating tale of the light and dark sides of the Force, and a tactical yet action-packed tour through the history of the world of lightsabers.
Knights of the Old Republic cemented Bioware's reputation as a legendary RPG company, and not only did it push them on to make great titles like the Mass Effect and Dragon Age series, but it spawned a universe of its own, including the Obsidian-developed sequel and eventually The Old Republic MMORPG. And yet, despite its age (almost ten years now!), Knights of the Old Republic still tells a great yarn of a story, with some brilliant dialogue, tough decisions to make, and plenty of lightsaber and blaster fighting.
Plus, right now the game is only $4.99 on the Mac App Store, and at that price, the title is a must-have. You may have played through this once already, either on the original Xbox or the PC, but KotOR is a classic, and it's a great game addition to any Mac as well.
Mac Game of the Week: Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic originally appeared on TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog on Thu, 29 Nov 2012 22:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

Artist Statement
I am interested in setting down what excites me in the many visual dramas I see being played out within nature. These "dramatic" dialogs have their own worlds of line, space, color, and form and are the real subjects of the work.
Almost all of these works on canvas and on paper are the outcomes of my observations from still life's that I set up in my studio. I don't try to describe the objects of the still life in naturalistic terms. I make compositions out of the interactions and movements between the forces, forms and aspects I see being carried through the objects.
About His Work:
Thomas Barron is a local Brookline artist and one time faculty member at the Brookline Arts Center. His vibrant, abstract paintings are observations of the world around him seen through color and shape. His wet-on-wet style is evident in many of his pieces. This technique allows Thomas to create textures that float over one another creating for him a dynamic sense of space.

I'm relaying the following article on behalf of my colleague Shanen Boettcher, General Manager of Windows Product Management for the enterprise.
We've been talking with a lot of organizations about what they need most from an optimized desktop experience, and we've been making great progress in delivering against those needs. I want to take this opportunity to share details on the Windows Optimized Desktop Scenarios and highlight some news. If you've been reading this blog regularly, you will have seen updates on the work we're doing with the Optimized Desktop. I contributed a blog on this in January for our Virtualization Strategy Day and a second blog about the announcements we had made at the Microsoft Management Summit (MMS) in Las Vegas in late April. While there are many facets to the Optimized Desktop, the framework is based on technologies that enable decoupling the traditional desktop stack of hardware, operating system, applications, data, settings and user profiles, making desktop management more efficient and easing change and user migration.
This is all based on the core technologies in Windows Vista, Microsoft Optimized Desktop Pack (MDOP) and System Center. With these technologies companies can create a flexible desktop environment - one where users can log on to any managed PC connected to the corporate network and have the same familiar environment and access to applications and data, while enabling IT departments to reduce costs and deliver applications and data services that are compliant with their data security and regulatory requirements.
We are continuing to invest in adding more new tools to this pack. We've invested over $400 million in developing and expanding MDOP thus far, and I'm very excited to share with you that we have officially finalized the acquisition of Kidaro Technologies, whose products enable a seamless combination of applications running from within both a host and guest OS. This technology will help enable end users to run applications from multiple versions of Windows at the same time, with seamless windowing and menus, and without the confusion of logging into and seeing multiple virtual machine desktops. The product teams are working closely with our new colleagues from Kidaro to incorporate the desktop virtualization technologies into MDOP in the first half of 2009, under the new product name Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization. We will continue investing here because we know manageability is fundamental to broad corporate use of desktop virtualization.
We've sold over 6.5 million licenses of MDOP to date, making it the fastest-selling volume licensing product in Microsoft history. It's worth noting that 60 percent of IT Pros who are familiar with MDOP have told us they intend to deploy MDOP within the next 12 months. For those organizations that have purchased and are deploying MDOP, we owe you a heartfelt "thank you." We hope you are as excited about this new technology as we are and are beginning to explore the Kidaro Web site to learn more about what it is and how it can help your organization. For organizations still wondering if MDOP can help reduce costs and provide richer services to your end users, perhaps this new acquisition will encourage you to look again.
We've been talking a lot about the benefits of MDOP and other Microsoft virtualization technology, so I want to spend a few minutes talking about how we can address the needs of IT organizations while helping them deliver the flexible and agile client computing required by their business users. I've been speaking with a lot of CIOs around the world over the past few months, and there are key trends in client computing that increasingly impact our customers' client architectures. A company's ability to address these trends will ultimately define user productivity across the organization:
These are all significant issues many of you are facing today, so we've created five Windows Optimized Desktop Scenarios that outline solutions for different types of customers. It's important to realize that no "one size" desktop fits every user's needs. These scenarios highlight how you can use OS, application and user state virtualization to deliver very flexible yet manageable environments for your users:
By examining the different user scenarios within your organization, and taking advantage of technologies such as BitLocker Drive Encryption, Folder Redirection, Offline Files, Microsoft Application Virtualization and Windows Vista Enterprise Centralized Desktop (VECD), you can find the right balance of end-user flexibility and IT management and control. I encourage you to look at these technologies within the context of the Windows Optimized Desktop Scenarios and explore how they can help your organization focus on what's most important for the business, while nurturing a more flexible and productive IT environment.
We've recently refreshed our Windows Vista Enterprise Web site to include up-to-date information on the Windows Optimized Desktop. I encourage you to spend some time there and see how your organization can realize value from these solutions. We look forward to continuing this conversation and helping you realize the benefits of the Optimized Desktop within your organization!

MnDOT receives mileage-based user fee policy report
ST. PAUL — A task force charged with considering the implications of implementing a mileage-based user fee today delivered a report recognizing that such a fee could be fair and flexible, but should not be implemented until concerns are satisfactorily addressed.
The report cited several issues for the Minnesota Department of Transportation to address, including privacy, administrative cost, complexity, phasing, and unfamiliarity of the concept among policymakers and the public. The task force was appointed by Transportation Commissioner Tom Sorel in April 2011.
"I appreciate the effort put forth by members of this task force to identify and evaluate issues related to MBUF," Sorel said in a news release. "Their input is one step in a process, and these findings, along with information we gather from technology research currently underway, will provide policy makers with information needed to address future transportation funding issues."
The task force agreed that Minnesota's future transportation funding sources should ensure all drivers pay their fair share for building and maintaining the transportation system and should be flexible to cover all vehicles, regardless of the type of fuel used. Additional benefits of an MBUF include sustainability, different rates for different conditions, value-added services and system management. The group identified the following concerns about a potential MBUF system: administrative cost, privacy, jurisdiction issues, feasibility, complexity, public acceptance and use of revenues.
"The task force recommended clear goals for a future funding system that moves this important conversation forward," said Jim Hovland, mayor of Edina, and vice-chair of the task force. "But we didn't feel we had enough detailed information yet to make wise decisions about a specific approach, so we recommend that MnDOT evaluate alternative models for achieving the Task Force's fairness and flexibility goals."
One of the primary issues the task force explored was the fairness of the gas tax during an era in which less gas will be used. Currently, a driver in a vehicle getting 20 miles per gallon currently pays about 1.4 cents per mile in state gas taxes. A hybrid vehicle driver getting 40 mpg pays half as much, and a driver of an electric vehicle, or another non-taxed fuel source, pays no state gas taxes.
"We need a fair and flexible transportation funding system and the current gas tax fails on both fronts," said Bernie Lieder, chair of the task force and former chair of the Minnesota House Transportation Finance and Policy Division. "The task force supports alternatively fueled vehicles, but feels all drivers should pay to support the transportation system they use."
All of the 25-member task force endorsed the report which included a minority opinion to express viewpoints not shared by the majority of members. All documents and information on MnDOT's MBUF technology research project are also available at www.mndot.gov/mileagebaseduserfee.
The 2007 Minnesota Legislature appropriated $5 million from the trunk highway fund for the technology research project, which is taking place from September 2011 to December 2012.

(from 2009)
Hello again. This assemblage of words is brought to you for
another month by one human being whom you may never have met and who
conceived and executed thousands of tiny maneuvers with his hands at
a date and time several weeks in the past, then posted them to a
machine which is there to serve your need for reading material at
any time of the day or night in whatever part of the world you
happen to reside.
It all sounds fairly one-sided. I write, you read. But as it
happens, I sometimes hear from you guys regarding things I've posted
on my site, and this month's effusion is about that phenomenon. Even
when you don't write I'm listening. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

from Don't your Fingers get tired? (A question and answer
page for the curious)
there much difference between a piano and an organ?
If you are particularly accomplished at either instrument,
yes. If you are not, then not so much.
The instruments are vastly different, of course. One makes
sound by striking strings, the other by moving vast columns of air through
pipes. One can grow up to nine feet (concert size)--the other fills up several
small rooms. (I'm assuming neither instrument is electronic.)
But the music written for the two instruments, when it is
written well, is also very different. For one thing, a piano has a sustaining pedal
which allows notes to continue sounding so long as your foot is on the pedal.
You don't need your fingers to maintain contact with the keys. An organ does not
have a sustaining pedal. The instant your fingers leave the key the note stops
sounding. Thus you cannot play a chord in the bass and moving your hand up to
the high part of the keyboard in a flashy sweeping gesture and make it work. On
a piano, that would sound impressive. On an organ it would sound stupid.

from the department of "Godmusic" --
under the sub-heading "Christian piano music"
An Interesting Conversation
Perhaps it will only become evident after
long years of profitable study of the texts and tunes
available on Pianonoise, but there are few assumptions that,
if I am not in the business of imploding, I do not at least
feel my duty to question. Someone has to. Since it appears
that staunch opinions are the principle export of mankind,
there is plenty of raw material. As it happens, a little
while back I came across a page on the web which contained
all kinds of such assessments. It was a conversation, a chat
page. Since the conversation took place in 2005, I was not
able to contribute to it then, and I doubt I could have
added much, since most of the principle positions were
covered. But in retrospect, and since internet conversations
which are sometimes the product of only a moment's
reflection often wind up on servers for years, we have the
chance to go over it, consider all the dramatis personae and
their prejudices, and see if any stunning insights come to
us. Perhaps the original participants were missing a few
after all.
There is a fellow named Bernhard. He
seems amiable enough--sometimes, but he has a problem. He
has a piano student, and—but let him tell it:
"I have a student who is a committed
Christian, and she has decided that she is now only
interested in religious music. She brought me a CD to listen
to, with some ghastly pop Christian music saying this is
what she wants to play from now on. I was horrified at the
prospect of having to listen to this drivel, so I suggested
to her instead that she should dedicate her musical studies
to some of the greatest sacred music ever written – and gave
her a number of CDs to listen to by Bach (St Matthew
Passion, Mass in B-minor, cantatas, etc.) Mozart (Requiem),
Beethoven (Mass in B minor) and Arvo Part, plus Gregorian
chant and the like. She was suitably impressed and wants to
have a go.
So here is the problem: Does anyone have
any suggestions for "sacred" pieces? Preferably originally
written for piano solo, that are not too forbidding (around
grade 5 – 8 )? Although there seems to be plenty of "sacred"
pieces for voice or choir, the only ones I could come up
with for piano solo were [the following]:"

Visitors to Jacobs Field (affectionately known
as "the jake" by Clevelanders--Dick Jacobs, the club owner, felt compelled to
write a memo to the media trying to encourage/demand that this kind of thing be
stopped since the phrase is often used colloquially in reference to a toilet,
but to no noticeable effect) --Visitors to Jacobs Field will bask in the
splendor of the view of the Cleveland skyline, and the relative spaciousness of
the lower levels as they make their plebian way to the fifth (yes) floor in
order to bake in the northern Ohio sun and ponder incredulously just how small
it is possible to manufacture a hotdog which costs $3.75.
Jacobs Field is also known for its massive wall
of luxury sky boxes which contribute to a more gargantuan look than some of its
retro-ballyard brethren and for the healthful effects of the air since
far-sighted legislators have decreed that no smoking is to take place on the
grounds. These same legislators were kind enough to pay for the stadium by
levying a cigarette tax so that smokers wouldn't feel entirely left out of the
loop. I miss Cleveland politics.

Anchorage Daily News managers on Tuesday announced their intention to eliminate the jobs of a handful of journalists as McClatchy Co., a California-based newspaper chain, continued its strategy of maintaining profit margins by cutting costs. Over the past two years, dozens at the newspaper have been laid off, taken buyouts or left on their own, as what was once Alaska's only statewide newspaper has retreated back to the 49th state's largest city. Insiders say Daily News circulation, down from more than 70,000 to near 50,000 papers a day, is continuing to decline, while cuts in news staff have hampered efforts to take the publication online in a big way. The paper's Juneau bureau has been vacant since the end of the legislative session last year. The paper's staff has been told the Alaska Legislature will be covered this year by a rotation of reporters visiting from Anchorage.
The names of the journalists expected to leave the Daily News in the latest round of cuts are not clear at this time; however, sources say some of the paper's most experienced senior staff are likely to leave.
The Daily News has offered no public outline of the cutbacks. On Tuesday, editor Pat Dougherty posted on his blog the news that Morris Publishing Group, owner of Alaska Magazine and several Alaska newspapers, is now seeking bankruptcy protection, yet made no mention of the cutbacks coming at his own publication.
The Daily News' parent company, McClatchy Co., has trumpeted its ability to maintain profits by cutting costs, especially in newsrooms, at all of its 30 daily newspapers, from Miami to Anchorage. "Profits from McClatchy's continuing operations more than doubled year-on-year from $19 million to $42 million," The Guardian reported in July. McClatchy CEO Gary Pruitt last month reported that advertising revenue at the company's newspapers are "finally, finally, improving," and that all of the chain's newspapers are profitable. Still, new layoffs are coming this month not only in Anchorage but at McClatchy operations elsewhere. Fitch Ratings, a market analyst, on Tuesday praised McClatchy's cost cutting measures, but noted the "belief that McClatchy has an untenable capital structure relative to the prospects for its future cash flow generation. Fitch has believed that absent a refinancing or equity issuance, a default of some sort would be inevitable."
The company remains more than $1 billion in debt from the purchase of the Knight-Ridder newspaper chain in 2006. Some analysts speculate McClatchy could at some point join Morris in bankruptcy court.

On July 10 the , held their weekly drill night at the . The purpose of this training session was to educate its personnel on pool emergencies and learned techniques to stabilize a patient in the water.
Chris Fielder, CPRP, CPO recreation and special events director at the Arena Club divided personnel into small teams. Each group, with assistance from lifeguards Grant Honecke, Jess Leilichwere, and Josh McGill (a BAVFC member), were taught techniques on how to provide proper spinal immobilization and correctly backboard and remove a patient from the pool. Thirty BAVFC personnel spent approximately two hours in the pool reviewing and practicing these techniques.
The BAVFC would like to extend their sincere thanks to the Arena Club for the use of their facilities. The staff was extremely knowledgeable and excited to help with the training. BAVFC Sgt. Tony Petralia who helped set up the drill stated, "We hope never to use what we learned but our personnel left that night confident they now have the skills to get the job safely and correctly if the need arises."

I wish you every success for the next academic year and can ensure that the more involved you are in your Union, the greater your University experience will be. BEST.SU.EVER Harry Stow Student Union President 2012/2013 Democracy in Action As well as providing shops, bars and entertainment, the Union is a democratically run organisation. The President and Vice President are full-time sabbatical officers who are elected from amongst the students to oversee the smooth running of the Union and its services and to ensure that it responds to student demand. They are aided by an Executive Committee and Student Union Senate all of whom are elected from, and are accountable to the student body. Continuity and professional expertise are provided by permanent staff, and there are opportunities for students to work in the bars, shop and as security stewards. Governance The Union provides welfare, academic advice and representation to students, and the President, along with part-time officers responsible for specific areas, has responsibility for co-ordinating this work. The President is also a Governor of the University and through the Union, students are represented on University Committees. The Union is there to support student appeals to the University. The Union runs campaigns each year, promoting student health and welfare issues. Winchester Student Union is affiliated to the National Union of Students (NUS) and through the National Union is committed to giving students everywhere representation at the highest level and co-ordinating national campaigns on student issues. Students are given the opportunity to attend national demonstrations and conferences on student issues and the right to be elected into national positions. Clubs and Societies The Union provides leisure and recreation activities for students. Sport is organised by the Vice President (Activities) and the Student Union Sports coordinator. The range of sports clubs is wide and includes football, rugby, cricket, hockey, basketball, netball, as well as ultimate frisbee, volleyball, skiing and many more. There is a variety of clubs and societies which meet regularly, such as performing arts, film, radio, LGBT, archaeology, history and role playing. New clubs and societies are always emerging as students form groups to carry out the activities they want to undertake. Bars and shops The Student Union has a special feel to it, providing a relaxed and secure environment for entertainment. The Vault received the NUS award Best Bar None confirming the venue to be a highly popular facility. Events take place regularly and include club nights, quizzes, comedy evenings, live music, promotions, multi-venue events and theme nights. Over the course of the year the Union organises larger events such as the Winton Reunion Weekend, Freshers, Christmas, Summer and Graduation Balls which often play host to top name acts. These events are hugely popular and always sell out very quickly. The Union also runs shops and launderettes situated on King Alfred Campus and at West Downs. These commercial services provide value for money for students and income to support Union core activity. The Student Union, above all, is about getting more from Winchester than just a qualification. Involvement is essential, whether that is as an officer, member of a club or society, or just as a user of the bar and laundry. The Student Union helps you do more!

In light of the Penn State scandal, my friend, the brilliant young writer Evan Weiner, wrote an outstanding article about how, we, as a society, worship athletes and celebrities. I read the story with great interest.
You know, I am as guilty as all of you. In my time I too have idolized athletes who achieve great things because they have enjoyed bigger growth and physical prowess that allows us to vicariously live through their achievements.
We look at the guy, or girl who can run faster, coach a winning team, sink baskets with consistent precision, or hit a home run more often and farther than ever before. We even adore the beautiful actor/actress who gives a great and lasting performance.
This is fun!
However, they are not real heroes. They are manufactured. Their contribution to society is minimal and yet we attribute to them knowledge and understanding they do not possess.
Now, there are thousands of people who have contributed to our greater good and benefit. They are heroes! So, I have selected a few who might make up my All-Time Celebrity team. Understand, there are too many others to name who are also taken for granted... you might immediately think of others. For example, the inventors of the paper clip, the rubber band stick-its easily come to mind.
However, this is my column, so I decide. Here's what I have done. Play along with me Please.
I am creating the first United States versus the World All-Star Baseball Game. Each team is made up of very well known as wells as little known people who have made an impact over many eons on our lives.
Before I submit my lineup, let me tell you who the officials are:
The umpires all bring vast experience to the game.
Behind Home Plate will be Mahatma Ghandi, the great pacifist who taught the world how to win confrontations peacefully. At First Base, will be that great negotiator Martin Luther King. He was able to bring dignity and peace in a troubled world to an entire Race. At Third Base, My arbiter would be Nelson Mandella. Even from behind prison bars, he was able to resist tyranny and bring about change.
For the United States team my lineup would be as follows:
Leading off will be Rosa Parks. She can wait out any pitcher and work him for a walk.
Batting Second would be Jay Edgar Hoover. He will also be my catcher due to his ability to keep people from stealing. Batting Third. As my designated hitter, would be Steve Jobs. He can figure out anything the pitcher can throw... look what he did with the Mac, the Ipad, the Iphone and the Ipod.
In Fourth Position, I would have either Linus Yale Jr., or Sr. Based on what they have done, they can easily get a Lock on anything the pitcher might throw. As my Fifth Batter, I would have either of the Wright Brothers, Orville, or Wilbur. Once they get on base they can really fly.
Batting Sixth, I think I'll use Albert Einstein. He can quickly calculate the curvature and arc of the ball timing it to hit to any field. Batting Seventh, I was going to insert Helen Keller into the lineup, but realizing she could not quite visualize each pitch, instead, I placed Samuel Finley Breeze Morse there. I'm sure during his time at bat, the pitcher will signal what he plans to throw and Morse will be ready.
My Eighth, of course, is Thomas Alva Edison. Each time he's up, it's an illuminating at Bat. Last, but not least in the lineup is comedian and ventriloquist Paul Winchell. He has lots of heart and there will be nothing Artificial about his hitting. Paul, as we know, invented the Artificial Heart.
She's not batting, instead the manager of my team is Helen Keller. After all, when told what is happening and the team needs direction, there's no one better to transmit the hand signals.
I'd have Ben Franklin coaching at first. He has proven he can come up with some electrifying plays. With men on base, he'll flying like a kite and maybe even pull off some lightening double steals. Young Mark Zukenberg as my third base coach will figure out the best way to get runners home for a score.
Oh yes! I forgot my manager and how could I. For me Bill gates would be the man. He, as much as anyone can figure out the intricacies of any play necessary for victory... and my bullpen coach is Alexander Graham Bell. Nobody better to man the phones when we need a relief pitcher to come in.
The opposition is pretty tough. There are scholars, artists, inventors and politicians galore. Deciding on my first team was quite difficult. I'm sure you may have many other selections.
The manager of my World Team would be Sir Winston Churchill. No matter how far behind the team might be, he would hang in and figure a way to win.
To be the first base coach on the World team is Mother Theresa. She was a unanimous choice, because nobody can comfort a runner who has been thrown out and is in pain better than this wonderful Saintly
The World Team leadoff Batter will be the Russian Vladimer Barmin. Inventer of the first Rocket Launch Complex. His bat would give pitchers fits if he were to lay down a bunt. England's Roger Bacon, the inventor of the magnifying glass, has a good eye as to what pitches to take, or not take.

Sleep is overrated.
Now excuse me while I pass out from exhaustion.
I suppose I could say the same thing: sometimes I feel like stupid always putting stuff like "awesome!", or "beautiful!" over and over on one's work... kinda makes me look like I'm trying to get attention or something...
However I do believe that admiration of one's work must be expressed. And I did mean every comment.
But since I don't have much to say, I always end up repeating myself I try not to, but it's hard
So with that being said, don't feel like you have to reply to each and every of my comments this is just me taking the time to let you know that I really like your art.

ATKINSON — The Atkinson Garden Club will hold the 2012 Annual Greens Sale Friday, Nov. 30, and Saturday, Dec. 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Once again, the Atkinson Community Center at 4 Main St. will be transformed by club members into a fragrant and festive greens market, where all manner of homemade offerings abound.
Pre-orders are strongly suggested for wreaths of all sizes, balsam, pine or laurel roping by the yard, and boughs of boxwood, holly or fir by the pound.
There will be centerpieces of fresh greens, decorative accents and candles. Cheerful mugs brimming with fresh arrangements are the perfect hostess gift or accent for a small space.
Red, burgundy and eggshell are the hues of the club's hand-tied bows, available as a single purchase or as an accompaniment to swags, wreaths and patio greens.
Kissing balls and tabletop holly trees have become two of the club's best sellers, and should be pre-ordered as well, to ensure the color selections of ribbons and bows and quantities of buyers' choice.
Mrs. Claus' Closet always offers a host of small items perfect for gifts or decoration — some new and some gently used. In addition, each year club members outdo themselves preparing a lavish, themed gift basket, bestowed on the winner of the holiday raffle.
Orders should be placed soon, by completing and depositing forms found at Kimball Library or the Atkinson Community Center, mailed in to the AGC, PO Box 571, Atkinson, or phoned in to Catherine Persson at 362-6013.

I love you guys and I love that I can come here when the PBP threads' negativity becomes too much to handle. It is wonderful to come here to cleanse after watching Youtubes of VM and seeing some of the nasty comments there by accident. But holy cow - the cheese thing is way out of hand!
I don't think PJ is insinuating either program is cheesy.
I don't think there are any other layers - RE smelly etc..
After following her for a very long time I don't for a moment think she meant to be rude or dismissive about DW.
At the same time - I don't think she is afraid to express her opinion honestly and I personally see nothing wrong with what she said.
She is entitled to think that DW - though still entertaining and skilled and lovely - have a program which is simpler and less refined than V and M. IMO this is all that she was suggesting when using the cheese comparison.
I do see how some people could interpret it as much more of an insult if they loathe processed cheese. But I honestly think she was being sincere when she said that SHE found them both to be yummy. I find no reason to believe she is lying about that.
Anyhow -on another note I am counting the days until Worlds so it is SUCH relief to read that Tessa is okay and still working towards those championships. If the results don't go the way we would like - it will be easy to keep in mind my gratitude for being able to see the programs live - when it is such a real fear that Tessa might not be able to skate at all.
Now i dont care - everyone cold have the own opinion, but just interesting to know, who he is. Did he working in theatre, ballet school, dance show?
I know, we love people, who have the same opinion with us and i belive many people agreed with him and feel happy with what he said, but its interesting to know what a professional level on any expert.
And i know, professionals dancers dislike what skates doing on ice. Like we found at ice-dance.com article - they have there own opinion about body moves, knees work ect.
interesting post, vmfan82! I am continually amazed by those of you who are bilinguists/polylinguists. Your post made perfect sense to me. I noticed the same thing with the way in which Tessa interacts with interviewers, fans, flower girls, officials, etc. She smiles so warmly at them and looks them in the eye. She goes out of her way to do this with the flower girls, which I find so sweet.
And ITA about her courage and determination. I also agree with those who have commented on how supportive and wonderful Scott is as a partner.
As for the whole 'slutty' thing--I wish we could abolish this word. Why are the sexual habits of others so important to some people?
and thanks for the link and the comic relief, iNap
Tell me, both teams fans, did V-M didnt have connection and bad legs lines at Nationals?Lois Elfman · Top Commenter · Barnard College
The video of Virtue & Moir came from the Canadian Championships (I gave him the links prior to 4C)
As for choreo - maybe this all because they re-moved so many things from this FD because of D-W. Why they pay so much attention to D-W? They are not childrena anymore and need to focus on there job, not on what D-W are doing.
Sorry, but what is this shit?
And a lot of people thinks she is real Tessa
The politiking intent of this piece is just blatantly obvious. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but think about it. When discussing V/M, the first thing that comes to most peoples' minds is their connection. Their connection is considred to be on par with the likes of T/D, K/P, and U/Z, i.e. one of the best connections we've ever seen in this discipline. One of the next things that people typically praise after V/M's connection is their lines. Almost always when someone goes to praise V/M, their connection and lines are two of the things that are cited off the top (among the many, many things they excel in).
Conversely, connection and lines are two things that D/W have been oft-criticized for. There's been a huge push this season to insist that D/W now have a connection like that of V/M's... which most of us can see that they don't. That ridiculous display at Skate America, anyone? So, now, we have an article that comes out on Icenetwork, ostensabily a mouth piece of the USFS which owns Icenetwork, in which two things V/M are regarded as exceling in and being all-time greats in, that are also known D/W weaknesses,are specfically listed as things they [V/M] need to work on? I don't know about the rest of you, but I smell a rat.
on the positive side, some of those pics are beautiful. http://web.stagram.com/p/392635482129456180_308135662 What is this from?
o/t but Oksana Grishuk is so gorgeous!!!

Robber run down in RutlandMarch 15,2013
Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo Rutland City Police investigate a robbery on Center Street in Rutland on Friday at noon.A quick-thinking barista has been credited with saving the day in an attempted robbery at the Coffee Exchange in downtown Rutland today.
At around noon, police said Nicholas Young, 22, of Rutland, walked behind the counter at the popular bistro at the corner of Center Street and Merchants Row, grabbed a bag full of cash intended for the bank along with an employee's purse, then walked quickly from the store, according to witnesses.
In the ensuing chaos, employee Kate Barcellos bolted out the door and pursued Young down the sidewalk on Merchants Row, through the Asa Bloomer Building and onto the bus terminal under the downtown transit center.
Barcellos, who is 22 and stands 4 feet 11 inches tall, said she kept up a steady stream of shouts for help and for the man to stop.
At the terminal, three bystanders heeded her calls and tackled Young, who was taken into police custody. The purse and the bag of money were returned to the Coffee Exchange, Barcellos said.
Police said Young has been charged with felony grand larceny and two misdemeanor counts of simple assault for allegedly biting two of the bystanders who tackled him. One of the bystanders had to be taken to the hospital for treatment.MORE IN This Just InBRATTLEBORO — Police in Brattleboro say three men have been taken into custody following a...

J.W. Anderson
The swirly teardrop print may have originated in India—and subsequently made its way to Victorian ladies' shawls and, eventually, the psychedelic caftans and Nehru jackets of the Swinging Sixties—but it derives its name from the town of Paisley in Scotland's central Lowlands. So perhaps it was not so surprising that it would become a recurring motif among the perversely tweaked English-heritage icons that are Anderson's stock in trade. "It's a very British graphic, to me," the upstart designer told Vogue.com. "I've loved it since my grandmother used to wear paisley pinafores when I was a child. It's nostalgic."[1]
Other elements of Anglo-nostalgia that Anderson has reworked for his J.W. Anderson label include Aran knits, tartans, hunting tweeds, and houndstooth checks, all of which he has spliced with his streetwise and futuristic sensibility. In the time-honored tradition of Vivienne Westwood and other punk-design pioneers, he dissects and reassembles these classic materials in startling ways. For spring 2012, he grafted men's striped cotton shirting onto a leather biker jacket, and sutured the mishmash together with leather whip-stitching. His pre-fall 2012 collection featured a "Miss Marple"[2] silhouette, as Women's Wear Daily called it—a boxy sweater, A-line skirt, and bucket hat, rendered in classic woolens as well as in vinyl and quilted leather. What sets Anderson's ensembles apart is their quirky collage quality: His clothes have "just enough of a fillip of oddness to make them desirable,"[3] Vogue.com wrote of his spring 2013 collection.Just as he hopscotches between the traditional and the avant-garde, Anderson—who started out designing menswear in 2008 and soon expanded into womenswear—likes to muddy the line between masculine and feminine, crafting tomboyish looks that work on both sexes. His playful boy-meets-girl ensembles have, in just a few seasons, won him a rapturous following from young London trendsetters such as Alexa Chung, as well as highly coveted collaboration deals with youth-oriented labels such as Topshop and Versus. "The J.W. Anderson girl is an adventurer, a dreamer, a fantasist," the designer has said. "She is someone who has the ability to get lost in an idea."[4]
Jonathan William Anderson born in the ancient small town of Magherafelt, Northern Ireland. In his teens, he will consider pursuing an acting career and study at the Studio Theatre in Washington, D.C.
Graduates from the London College of Fashion with a degree in menswear. He will find a job as assistant to stylist Manuela Pavesi at Prada.
Launches J.W. Anderson as a menswear label. Shows his collection for the first time in London, off-schedule.
February: As part of Man, a Topman-sponsored lineup of young designers, shows a men's collection inspired by "early 20th-century England and the aristocracy's fascination with fantastical expeditions."[5] April: Selected, along with Phillip Lim and Richard Chai, for a Topman project to design new spins on the white T-shirt. September: Once again as part of the Man showcase, presents a black-shrouded men's collection of stretchy athletic wear laced with fringed skirts and other tribal touches.
Creates a women's capsule collection for female fans of his menswear. February: His men's collection of punky tartans and Aran knits covered with netting gains notice. Shows during London Fashion Week with the British Fashion Council's New Gen Men sponsorship, a mentoring program supported by Topman, the menswear outpost of Topshop. (Past winners of New Gen sponsorship include Alexander McQueen, Christopher Kane, and Erdem Moralioglu). March: WWD reports that Liberty in London, Coco de Mer in Los Angeles, and H.P. France in Tokyo will be carrying his clothes for fall. September: He launches his first official women's collection, for spring 2011, with a psychedelic film posted on Liberty's YouTube site.
February: In addition to a men's collection, presents critically acclaimed womenswear for fall 2011; a silk paisley pajama ensemble is an instant hit in the fashion press. May: Writer Sarah Mower spotlights the up-and-comer in "One of the Boys," in Vogue's View section. August: Vogue.com notes the paisley craze, crediting Anderson for being ahead of the pack. September: Anderson is chosen, along with fellow designers Erdem Moralioglu, Mary Katrantzou, and Giles Deacon, for a collaboration with Swarovski in which the designers incorporate the company's crystals and pearls into new work. December: Wins another New Gen sponsorship, which provides him with resources to stage his next runway show.
January: Presents his first pre-fall women's collection—a marker of his commercial success. February: Joins London Fashion Week's official schedule. September: Vogue highlights his new, accessible collaboration, J.W. Anderson x Topshop. "When I go anywhere outside fashion capitals, I see the reality of what people can afford. I feel it's a product that fits the times,"[6] Anderson says. Dozens queue up outside the store's Oxford Circus location before the doors open, and bat knits and paisley tops sell out within a few hours. Anderson makes "The Vogue 120" roster of fashion's brightest lights under the age of 45. "The Irish boy made a brand logo of his name before he even put on his first London runway show,"[7] the magazine reports. November: He wins the Emerging Talent Award for Ready-to-Wear at the British Fashion Awards. Chosen to design a capsule collection for Versus, on the heels of Christopher Kane's departure from the label. Tells Vogue.com, "It's really exciting. What I see in here is all about a girl and a boy, a girl and a girl, and a boy and a boy—from the beginning, Donatella [Versace] was always a pioneer with that sense of a kind of a Versus tribe. That's what I really relate to."[8]
Named creative director of Loewe (replacing Stuart Vevers who had moved over to Coach). LVMH takes a minority state in the company J.W. Anderson.
