Nearly five years after an incident in which a Roxbury Correctional Institution inmate was beaten in his cell, federal authorities say it is still under investigation after a former correctional officer pleaded guilty this week in U.S. District Court to helping cover it up.
Ryan Lohr, 26, of Flintstone, Md., entered a guilty plea Wednesday to conspiring to obstruct justice and destroy evidence in the March 9, 2008, beating of the inmate at the prison south of Hagerstown, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
"Lohr opened the door to inmate K.D.'s cell to allow other correctional officers to assault K.D. in retaliation for a prior incident involving K.D.," the Department of Justice said in a news release.
The inmate referred to as K.D. in the Justice Department release was identified in Herald-Mail accounts at the time as former Roxbury inmate Kenneth Davis.
"The U.S. Constitution protects inmates and the Justice Department will continue to vigorously prosecute correctional officers who use their official position to assault inmates or to cover up crimes committed by their fellow officers," Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez said in the Department of Justice news release.
Davis, who was 42 at the time, was hospitalized for injuries he suffered in March 8 and 9, 2008, beatings at RCI.
The case is being prosecuted by attorneys of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, with the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Maryland.
"Mr. Lohr admitted that he opened the door so that other correctional officers could assault an inmate, watched while other correctional officers assault(ed) the restrained inmate, and conspired with others to cover up the assault," Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez said in the release.
The correctional officers used their fists and feet to strike Davis, who was restrained at the time of the assault, the release says.
On the day of the beating, Lohr was assigned to the medical dispensary, but went to the Administrative Segregation Intake Area where Davis was being held, according to the criminal information through which Lohr was charged. He met with other officers planning to assault Davis in retaliation for an altercation the inmate had with another officer and Lohr opened the door to the cell, the Department of Justice said.
After Lohr learned there would be an investigation into the beating, he met with other RCI officers and agreed to cover up the assault, the release said.
"Lohr directed others to clean up blood in (Davis') cell, and watched a supervisor use what appeared to be a magnetic device in an effort to destroy surveillance video footage," the release said.
The supervisor, identified only by the initials E.S., then hid the magnetic device in a drop ceiling, the criminal information said.
"A supervisor also told Lohr not to write a report about inmate K.D. and his injuries," the release said.
"Lohr further admitted in court documents he lied to RCI investigators and the Maryland State Police, when these agencies asked him about K.D.'s injuries," the release said. "Lohr also told RCI officers to provide investigators with false information."
A criminal information against Lohr was filed on Jan. 18 and he entered a guilty plea in U.S. District Court in Baltimore on Wednesday before Judge James K. Bredar, court records said. Lohr faces up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines when he is sentenced on June 18, the Department of Justice release said.
The Department of Justice said the "case is ongoing" and being investigated by the Frederick Resident Agency of the FBI and is being prosecuted by its Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Maryland.
"We cannot comment on any ongoing investigations," Department of Justice spokeswoman Dena Iverson said when asked if others were under investigation.
Washington County Circuit Court records filed in the case alleged that Davis was beaten four times over three consecutive eight-hour work shifts while he was being held in the segregation area.
Fourteen correctional officers were charged criminally locally or by the Maryland Attorney General's Office, department spokesman Mark Vernarelli said in response to e-mailed questions. Six were convicted of charges ranging from second-degree assault to conspiracy to commit assault, Vernarelli said. Three of them received jail sentences, he said.
The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services terminated 26 correctional officers within weeks of the incident. Eighteen officers from Roxbury were fired along with eight from North Branch Correctional Institution, he said.
The North Branch firings were a result of "information that there were improprieties going on a North Branch at the same time," Vernarelli said.
Three of the 26 officers agreed to retire in lieu of termination; three firings were later reversed by the Office of Administrative Hearings; and two were "rescinded administratively as further evidence and information came out," he said.
The 18 remaining firings were upheld by the Office of Administrative Hearings, Vernarelli said.
"All 18 cases were appealed. In each, the decision of the OAH was maintained," Vernarelli said.
"In addition to the terminations, we had multiple officers suspended for periods ranging from five to 15 days," Vernarelli said.
Vernarelli confirmed Lohr no longer worked for the department, but could not confirm whether he was among those terminated because of the incident. However, an online case search shows that Lohr filed an administrative agency appeal against Roxbury Correctional Institution and the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services in 2009 in Baltimore City Court.
Lohr's appeal was consolidated with those of four other people and the original decision of an administrative law judge was upheld, court records said.

The state House unveiled its $3.1 billion state construction budget proposal Monday, with some good news for the Olympic Peninsula, according to legislative aides.
The budget proposal includes $10 million for a wastewater treatment and reuse system in Carlsborg.
Projects in both Clallam and Jefferson counties are included in the proposal, and state Rep. Steve Tharinger (D–Sequim), who sits on the House Capital Budget committee, said he'll work hard to make sure they remain in the final version.
"The capital budget is a job creation budget, because it involves construction," Tharinger said. "Whether it's new construction or renovations and repairs, it puts people to work in local communities and improves our local infrastructure."
Tharinger said the inclusion of $2 million for Building 202 at Ford Worden State Park is important for improving higher education access in Jefferson County. The project involves renovating former military barracks at the state park into classroom space to be used by Peninsula College.
Rep. Kevin Van De Wege (D–Sequim), who co-chairs the Legislature's Heritage Caucus, was pleased that several Heritage projects on the Olympic Peninsula made the final cut.
"Port Townsend's historic library and the Jefferson County Courthouse will be able to get seismic retrofits, which will improve structural safety and ensure that they can continue to serve the community," Van De Wege said.
A list of major projects that made the final cut into the House proposed budget include:
• $52,000 to Serenity House of Clallam County, a non-profit organization providing emergency and transitional housing. The funds will help complete the final renovation phase of the Tempest Complex.
In all, Tharinger and Van De Wege say the Olympic Peninsula fared well in the House proposal.
"These are extremely lean times in state government, and there are many more worthy projects than there are dollars to pay for them," Tharinger said. "We're pleased that these projects will likely be able to move forward."
The Senate will release its own Capital Budget proposal, and then the two chambers will work together on a compromise, which must be voted on before the end of the regular legislative session.
The session is scheduled to end April 24.

Maybe about a month ago I had the pleasure of sitting with one of the owners of FAIM boutique here in Flint,Mi Marquitta Harris. We sat in the boutique filled with all unique limited edition fashion pieces.
Marquitta and I discussed our thoughts upon business and and community. That conversation alone made me more clear on making FAIM boutique March Business of the month.
She shared the fact that her and her sister Mejuana Harris (who is the other half of FAIM boutique) both believe in giving as well as they believe in Gods word which believe it or not makes all the difference. For the past few months I've noticed other people having listening parties and other events right downtown Flint at FAIM boutique and I've thought "That's nice of them to do that"… Marquitta explained that it's something they do because we all need help sometimes and her and her sister love seeing driven people from Flint trying to do something positive.
There are a few events taking place on behalf of FAIM boutique this month!Schedule of Events:

... tidal flat and at certain times it is possible to walk all the way from the man land to the island over the silt flats While we were there it was a tidal equinox (?)- yes I am going to have to look that up too- which meant that the water was very high and made it an extremely popular time to visit as the water surrounds the island.

Then it was off to Le Mont St- Michel, a fairytale abbey set on a rocky island in a vast mud flat. As we ate our meal on the terrace we watched the tide cover the mud flats very quickly. This area has some of the world's fastest running tides, 18 feet per second!!!
Our room was just below the abbey overlooking the village and the mudflats, we had our own balcony, Heather felt like Queen of the ...
Mont saint michel
Today we ventured to Mont Saint Michel. The weather left a lot to be desired but at least it wasn't raining or too cold while we were there. The view as you approach is amazing. You have to park a fair ways away, but they have a free shuttle service to take you there. The actual causeway area is getting redone so it's looks dreadful which detracts from your initial close up of the island. Once you're past that thought it is beautiful. As with most things in our France trip ...
Fantastic monument, but way too busy
the monument itself doesn�t disappoint....it�s a medieval church cum castle built in the sea, and pretty impressive both during the day, and all lit up at night. But, my word, busy. Coachloads of tourists, even in late November, so I can�t imagine what it�s like at peak season. And the clever planners have allowed the streets ...
An abbey between sea and sky
... If you come from the west you can drive a little further and park near a trail. Then it is about 30min walk the the free shuttle bus. This trick will save you 12euros and it is very nice to walk toward the Mont, the view is great.
Even if you want to spare money, you will still need to pay 9euros to get into the abbey. Don't miss it, that would be a shame not to see it from the inside.
Enfin! J'ai vu le Mont ...

Hazards of BlackBerry-walking

Overwork is not good for productivity. If you're doing physical labor, you get tired. If you're doing customer service, you get cranky. If you're sitting at a desk doing so-called knowledge work, you get stale and unimaginative. Moreover, these deficits are cumulative; the longer you work crazy hours, the more of a strain this puts on your productivity.
So why, over the past few decades, have knowledge workers come to work such long hours? A recent column by James Surowiecki explores the issue, and he hits a lot of good points. But I want to highlight one possibility that he doesn't mention: As work has gotten more specialized, the penalty for handing off work to multiple people has risen.
When people complain about work-family balance, they frequently complain that two people who each work 30 hours a week are paid much less than half as much as one person working 60 hours a week. Surowiecki notes that it's more expensive to hire two people (benefits, desks, etc.). But that's not the only cost. In specialized jobs, two people who are each working 30 hours a week may actually be much less productive than one working 60 — even if working 60 hours makes each of those hours much less productive than they could be.
The problem is that when work is specialized, each worker has individual knowledge about the job that has to be passed off to anyone else working on that job. If you split the job, you increase the amount of time that is spent telling the other person what you know . . . and increase the risk that something will be missed because one person knew one thing and the other knew something else, and those two pieces of information never met in the same head.
More workers also means more time managing those workers. Ever been at a firm or department that went from five people to 35? How much more of your time got sucked up in meetings? As work teams grow, you start to need elaborate hierarchies of communication and control that absorb lots of time and require extra people whose jobs are just managing all the others.
And as the pace of communications has accelerated, it has paradoxically gotten more difficult to do without people. If you're an American working with folks in Europe, you quickly learn to write off the summer, because it's impossible to get anything done when everyone takes multiweek vacations. By the time one person gets back, the other person is off. This is maddening if you're working on anything time-sensitive.
This is not to say that the overcrowding of the American schedule is the right approach. I have the American tendency to fill every waking hour with work, as much as someone is willing to give me. After seven years of blogging professionally, I've come to realize that I have to force myself to take vacations — real ones, where the phone is off and I don't promise to work on just a couple of little tidbits, such as maybe a reported feature. Every time I come back from vacation, I dive back into work with new ideas and a lot more energy, and I think, "Why don't I do this more often?" And still, every year, I lose most of my vacation days.
Maybe U.S. employers should be more like the Economist, which, when I worked there, required you to take all your vacation — not "use it or lose it," just "use it." But you can see why they aren't, when most of the economic and cultural pressures run the other way.

Risk from small volume blood ingestion
Posted by RJT, 2 Replies
Hello. I noticed some blood smeared on my finger whilst eating in a cafe on a shopping trip. I had been picking my lips so assumed it was that and licked it off to see if there was a cut underneath. However there was no cut to my finger and I...

In the 2012 All Star Game in Orlando, Florida, reigning scoring champion Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunderwill be the only player from the Western starters who is not from an LA team. The other starters include Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum of the Los Angeles Lakers, and Chris Paul and Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers. The 23-year-old Durant is selected to his third straight all star appearance and second straight as a starter since being drafted in 2007. Owners of Oklahoma City Thunder tickets is a big part why Durant got 1,345,566 votes which placed him second in the entire West behind Bryant and fifth overall.
Durant is clearly a deserving one of all the votes he garnered from his fans. Through 21 games, the former Rookie of the Year is averaging 26.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game. His scoring averages place him third in the entire league behind Bryant and LeBron James. Durant's rebounding and assist numbers are both career-highs. He is also having his best shooting percentage in his entire career at 51 percent. What is also more amazing about Durant's performance this season is that he has led his Thunder to the best record not just in the West but in the entire league. Oklahoma City is 17-4 overall with 8-1 at home and 9-3 on the road.
With the record of the Thunder which tops the league, there is definitely another room for one more all star from Oklahoma City as a reserve. Russell Westbrook is clearly having another solid season despite his poor start and his low assist average, and is a lock to join Durant in the squad. An all star last season, Westbrook has taken all the criticisms when something goes wrong in Oklahoma Citybut he trumped all of those with his play. Through 21 games, the 23-year-old Westbrook is averaging 21.9 points, 5.7 assists, and 4.8 rebounds in 46 percent shooting (career-best). Aside from his stats, Westbrook does it all for his team. According to experts, Westbrook's "brazen cockiness puts the rumble into the Thunder's game."
Westbrook placed fifth among Western guards garnering 262,186 votes. Kendrick Perkins, on the other hand, placed sixth among Western centers after getting 99,811 votes.
In selecting for the reserves of both squads, the 30 NBA coaches would vote for seven players from their respective conferences to fill in the all star squads. It includes two guards, two forwards, one center, and two players regardless of their position. The reserves would be announced on February 9, 17 days before the actual all star game.
If Oklahoma City continues their hot streak and has the best record in the West through February 15, Durant and Westbrook would be joined on the sidelines by their coach, Scott Brooks, in the Western squad. It would be the first time for Brooks, a former Coach of the Year, to coach an all star squad since he first became a coach in 2008.

Dyan is awesome & will make great use of every dime! She is organized, talented and hilarious. Vot for Pint Sized Rhyme Splitters!
: dyanysus1116
I am leading a short residency in which 5th and 6th graders will learn about rap, and ultimately write and record their own short rap concept album. Their album will then be sold as a fundraiser for their chronically underfunded after-school program.
A producer to create the beats, a graphic designer to do the cover art, and a sound engineer are some of the key players of this project, and as generous as they may be in donating their time to this project, they'll still need some compensation for their time and expertise. Recording studio time and pressing albums will also probably be sizable costs in this endeavor. Not to mention the insatiable appetite for hot chips that my students have, which could easily bankrupt a teaching artist.
Dyan is awesome & will make great use of every dime! She is organized, talented and hilarious. Vot for Pint Sized Rhyme Splitters!

Sweetheart Beaded Lace Trumpet Gown Style CRL277
I bought this gown for my recommittment ceremony in April of 2011 in Vegas. I wanted something classy yet fun and flirty. I had tried on 5 gowns prior to this one. It wasn't even one of the gowns on my list.
I kept ranking all of the other gowns, then my friend asked the consultant to bring this one out. I took one look at the picture and thought "no way". The second I put it on I knew.
Just a tip, if you're ranking your gowns as you're trying them on, you haven't found the right one!
I went with a size larger than the one in the pictures since, as you can see, it was a bit tight in the bust.

Beautiful Dress!
This was the 4th dress i tried on and it was between this and another dress. This dress really gives you great shape. I am petite (5'2, 95lbs) and looks really great! The pictures do not do it justice! This dress is for sure worth a try! I originally did not want lace, but this dress is sooo pretty. Classy, sexy, and timeless :)

Dream Dress
I purchased a gown from David's 2 1/2 years ago for my wedding, which was just last week. I loved my experience so much, that I applied for a job and started working at David's as a bridal consultant. As you can imagine, my mind started to race with all of the beautiful gowns that I was now seeing every day. Needless to say, I changed my mind. I saw a bride try on this gown and knew that it was the one for me. It was actually everything that I said I DIDN'T want the first time around - lace and pearls. But the minute I tried it on, I knew that THIS was truly my dream dress. So all you ladies out there - trust in your consultants, and try things even if you think you won't like them. If I hadn't, I would have missed out and never would have found this fabulous gown.

9to5 Mac reports that according to a DigiTimes story published today, Foxconn has managed to persuade Apple not to farm out a share of its iPad 3 orders, which would normally have been solely manufactured by Foxconn, to Pegatron Technology. According to DigiTimes sources, although Apple had recently been reported as planning to expand its iPad manufacturing base, Foxconn has successfully managed to use its influence to prevent this from happening. 9to5 Mac notes that this story, assuming its accurate, shows how important Foxconn has become to Apple, as usually Apple likes to have its parts and components sourced from a variety of companies, mainly so that it doesnt become too overly reliant on one supplier, and also so that it doesnt find itself paying over the market value to just one supplier. Not putting all its eggs in one basket, so to speak. Its thought that this was what Apple was trying to do by moving some iPad 3 orders over to Pegatron, but if these reports are true, it now looks like thats not going to happen, at least for now.

"State newborn screening" refers to a test performed on every baby born in every state of the country within the first few days of life, to detect serious, life-threatening diseases. State laws require that babies be tested between 2 and 7 days of age, even if the baby seems healthy and has no symptoms of health problems.
Testing is usually done from a few drops of blood taken from the baby's heel and spotted onto a strip of paper called "filter paper." The filter paper is sent to a laboratory for analysis to determine the presence of certain recessive genetic diseases. Recessive diseases usually occur when healthy parents who unknowingly carry a gene for a recessive disorder, pass the gene to their baby at the same time. The baby inherits two copies of the recessive gene and, therefore, is affected with the condition. The specific diseases tested for in the newborn period are often treatable by special diets and/or medications, increasing the baby's chance for a normal life. It is important to detect these diseases as soon as possible to prevent death, mental retardation, and other disabilities.
For those conditions where a special diet is required, such as phenylketonuria (PKU) and galactosemia, a pediatric metabolic specialist and nutritionist are needed to educate parents regarding foods that are appropriate. Parents need to also be educated regarding monitoring the levels of certain compounds in the blood and urine to insure that the infant is not harmed by the disease.
What diseases are screened for depends on the state where you live. In most states, testing is done for phenylketonuria (PKU), hypothyroidism, galactosemia, and sickle cell anemia (SC)/other hemoglobin disorders.

Saturn, Earth, Mars and Venus Appear in One Incredible Photo
NASA's Cassini orbits Saturn, but its latest image captures the whole galactic gang. The agency released a natural color image from the spacecraft on Tuesday that features Saturn, its moons and rings, Earth, Venus and Mars, all in one shot. The photo is a mosaic of 141 wide-angle images taken over a span of more than four hours while the planets, moons and stars were all moving relative to Cassini. NASA colorized the photo to show how the scene would look to the human eye.

The Mountain
Standing at 14,411 feet above sea level, Mount Rainier (or "the Mountain" as it's lovingly called in the Pacific Northwest) attracts climbers from all over the world. It's the highest peak in the Cascade Range, the highest in Washington, and a measuring stick for any aspiring northwestern climber.
Rainier was first climbed in 1870 by Hazard Stevens and P.B. Van Trump, and mountaineering remains a rich part of the Mount Rainier National Park experience. Approximately 10,000 people attempt the mountain each year. The success rate for a summit climb is around 50 percent, and the most common reasons for failure are exhaustion or inclement weather.
Climbers hoping to stand on Rainier's highest point – Columbia Crest – need to be physically fit, skilled in glacier travel and crevasse rescue, and prepared for winter conditions … any time of year.
To Climb the Mountain
Twenty-six named glaciers surround Rainier's flanks; there is no trivial route to the summit. An automotive visitor may drive within 8,000 feet of the summit. A hiker can't do much better, because maintained trails end with 7,000 feet to go. Only mountaineers with the necessary skills, gear, and focus are properly equipped to explore her upper reaches.
The majority of first-time climbers select one of two routes. On the south side, the Disappointment Cleaver attracts approximately 90 percent of the mountain's ascents. Most of the remaining 10 percent choose the much wilder, but not overly technical (from a mountaineering standpoint), Emmons/Winthrop Glacier route beginning on the mountain's northeast side.
A climbing permit is required for all ascents above 10,000 feet or onto any glacier. Climbing permits cost $43 per person (25 years and older) or $30 per person (24 years and younger). They must be purchased in person at a ranger station during the primary climbing season from May to October; a valid photo ID is required.
Two Main Routes to the Top
Disappointment Cleaver Route
The climb begins at the Paradise Visitor Center and ascends through alpine meadows to the Muir Snowfield.
From there a gradual ascent through open snowfields with great views of the Nisqually Glacier and upper mountain leads to Camp Muir at 10,800 feet. Most climbers spend a night acclimatizing here before an early morning (typically 1 a.m.-2 a.m.) alpine attempt on the summit the next day.
From Camp Muir, the route crosses the Cowlitz Glacier and cuts through Illumination Gap to the Ingraham Flats camp at just over 11,000 feet.
Next, a steep section of snow and rock gains the Disappointment Cleaver proper. Following the spine of rock and snow eventually deposits climbers at the top of the Cleaver at around 12,500 feet.
Above the Cleaver, climbers pick their way through a maze of crevasses until the crater rim is gained at slightly more than 14,000 feet. Most climbers opt to continue on mostly flat terrain through the crater to Columbia Crest (the mountain's high point) on the north side of the summit.
The Emmons-Winthrop Glacier Route
Starting from the Sunrise entrance to the park, a short drive leads to the Glacier Basin Trailhead where the adventure begins.
A gentle 3.5-mile hike takes climbers through the Glacier Basin campground. From here, a climbers' trail continues uphill to the White River headwaters below the Inter Glacier.
A direct ascent of the Inter Glacier, being careful to avoid rockfall and crevasse danger, leads to a saddle called Camp Curtis at 8,500 feet.
Next, climbers descend snow or talus to the Emmons Glacier and then follow the Emmons to Camp Schurman at approximately 9,400 feet.
Like Camp Muir, Schurman is a ranger-staffed high camp on Mount Rainier. From Schurman, the line of least resistance depends greatly on the time of year, snowpack, and any year-to-year changes to crevasse location on the glacier. Typically, a mostly direct ascent of the Emmons Glacier is possible to approximately 13,000 feet, before a traverse to the upper Winthrop Glacier is necessary to gain the saddle between Columbia Crest (the true summit) and Point Success (a secondary summit to the northwest) at 13,600 feet.
From the saddle, a short climb to Columbia Crest gains Washington's highest point, the summit of Mount Rainier at more than 14,000 feet.
Weather, Route Conditions, and General Questions About Climbing in Mount Rainier National Park
A number of online resources are available:
Winter Climbing
For those interested, winter climbing at Mount Rainier is a popular activity among dedicated souls seeking an added challenge.
Though winter conditions can occur at any time, more consistent winter weather is found from October to April.
Mount Rainier is one of the snowiest locations in the world – for example, Paradise, on the south side, saw 1,122 inches of snow in the winter of 1972/1973.
It goes without saying that storms come in quickly and often – and they're generally accompanied by high winds and prolonged periods of little to no visibility.
Proper conditioning, attire, and winter mountaineering skills are vital to having a safe winter ascent.
Solo Climbing
Solo climbing on Mount Rainier above the high camps or on any glacier is not permitted without prior approval from the park superintendent. To request permission, a solo climb request form can be downloaded from the park climbing website or requested by sending a letter to: Superintendent, Mount Rainier National Park, 55210 238th Avenue East, Ashford, WA 98304.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.

Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Frei Brothers chose the Dry Creek Valley as the home of their Merlot vineyards. The Dry Creek Valley is blessed with warm days and cool nights. Its inland location ensures its vineyards get ample warmth during the day which leads to optimal ripening of fruit. In the evening, cool marine influences enter from the southern portion of the valley where Dry Creek empties into the Russian River. This cooling slows sugar production, allowing for longer hang-time, and producing fruit which exhibits intense Merlot varietal character.
Blend: 93% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon
Frei Brothers Reserve wines possess a unique, fruit-forward character with intense aromas and flavors that reflect the land and the climate that created the grapes. The 2005 Reserve Merlot is a medium-bodied wine that exhibits luscious and enticing aromas and flavors of blackberry and cherry, with hints of vanilla and spices from partially oak barrel aging.
In the late 1880s, an enterprising Swiss immigrant by the name of Andrew Frei gazed upon the rolling hills, gentle streams, and fertile soil of Sonoma County and saw a wine glass of opportunity. By 1890, he was the proud owner of a 344 acre vineyard in northern Sonoma, giving birth to a winemaking tradition that is very much alive today.Frei didn't waste any precious time once he...Read More About Frei Brothers

Today's Hours noon-6pm
The latest in men's headwear...
Prada, Robert Geller, Dsquared2, Ferragamo, McQueen…sure, they all showed up-to-date menswear collections for spring, but they accessorized with hats. "Hats have been building up momentum over the past few seasons, so expect to see them flooding the runways come fall, too," says Emmi Sorokin, a wardrobe stylist specializing in business casual and weekend wear for men.
"The fedora and the newsboy have been big for several seasons," Sorokin says, "but there's a push for a couple of dubious trends on the horizon: wide brim and floppy hats á la 1970 or what I call the 'pimp series', even a Gavroche style from Les Miserables. We're also seeing a lot more prints on hats starting with plaids and then moving into bold, abstract graphics."
A man should be able to pull of a hat with confidence if he's going to bother wearing one at all. It should complete his look, not compete with it. Do not confine yourself to ratty, tatty baseball caps. Experiment with flat brims, porkpies, fedoras, and the history and lure of the hat will come with it.
There's a certain etiquette implicit in the hat, such as touching the brim to say hello, tipping it to show respect, putting it forward to hide a bit, or off to the side at a jaunty angle. But, does it still need to be removed upon entering the room, or is that outdated? "Depends on the scene and the hat," Sorokin advises. "If the hat is heavier wool, meant to protect from the elements, take it off indoors. If it's lightweight like straw or cotton and it's a casual environment, keep it on. On a rudeness scale, in a society where it's perfectly acceptable to ignore the person in front of you to attend to your online social networks, incorrect wearing of a hat probably won't offend the ladies!"

VTT: Improving energy efficiency is revolutionizing building in Finland
Moisture damage risks of zero-energy buildings can be avoided
The EU is pressing home its demand for all new construction to be nearly zero-energy by 2021. This energy target can only be achieved, and moisture damage risks avoided, if design and construction quality is ensured. As for the cost – energy efficient buildings in Finland carry a 2–7% higher price tag over conventional construction.
The EU's Energy Performance of Buildings Directive is revolutionising
construction Europe-wide. As a Member State, Finland, too, is committed to
reducing its building stock CO2 emissions.
"Today's new
builds will be outdated in less than ten years. Despite vast improvements in
the quality of construction work, mistakes are still rife. We need to raise
the quality bar, and soon, because ever-increasing renovation of our old
building stock is something we simply can't afford," explains energy efficient
construction expert Jyri Nieminen from VTT Technical Research Centre of
The energy objectives of low-, passive- or
zero-energy buildings can only be achieved if the necessary design and
construction quality are up to scratch. This will also go a long way towards
soundly eliminating the quality defects typically responsible for moisture
Responsibility for preventing moisture damage lies
both with the client and the construction and maintenance service providers.
The appointment of adequately skilled designers and contractors and effective
supervision of the interests of the client are the client's own
responsibility. Clear objectives based on performance must be set for the
building, and these must be verifiable at the commissioning stage.
damage in buildings has traditionally been caused by leaking piping systems
and substandard work quality. Rainwater penetration into structures is a
classic sign of poor quality facade construction, or a simple lack of proper
maintenance. Other common causes of moisture damage include inadequate or
flawed waterproofing, incorrect storage of construction materials, and
carelessness and negligence during construction or maintenance.
efficient construction costs in Finland are 2–7% higher than conventional
construction based on current regulations. For example, the costs of a
multi-storey passive building constructed for TA Asumisoikeus Oy in Oulu,
Finland, were 3.3% higher than those of an adjacent conventional apartment
building of similar layout and design. Renewable energy installations are a
key source of extra costs in zero-energy buildings.
the energy demand of buildings is one of the most effective means at our
disposal for mitigating climate change. The smaller the building's energy
demand, the easier it is to meet with the building's own building integrated
energy production.
Finland has leading know-how in this
field, for example in the thermal insulation of buildings, and
energy-efficient building services installations and window technology. To
promote the export of this expertise, working examples of Finnish solutions
need to be constructed. The results of Finnish research into energy efficient
buildings have been successfully utilised by turning developed building and
energy technologies into competitive assets for Finnish companies.
has been researching and developing zero-energy construction technologies
since 1990. The focus of this development work has been on solutions that
provide high energy efficiency and good indoor climate without compromising on
design or usability. Some of the key problem areas in low-energy construction
have been identified and resolved, for instance, with the help of sensors
installed in pilot buildings.
What is a zero-energy
A zero-energy building or, more specifically,
'net zero energy building', produces at least as much useable renewable energy
as it uses from conventional energy sources. Similarly, a nearly zero-energy
building meets at a significant proportion of its energy needs with renewable
energy that is produced either by the building itself or by a renewable energy
facility located nearby – as is the case with renewables-based district
Zero energy and zero emissions buildings are
currently the focus of intense global interest. The Norwegian University of
Science and Technology NTNU, for example, is developing leading solutions for
zeroing the carbon dioxide emissions of buildings.
applications for zero-energy buildings have been developed around the world.
Finland's first, and the Nordic countries' leading example of a near
zero-energy high rise apartment building was completed in Kuopio at the end of
2010. Another is to be built in Järvenpää this year. In addition, zero-energy
single-family houses are also being built and developed in Finland.
IEA5 house, built in Pietarsaari in 1993–1994, is, according to the EU's
Energy Performance of Buildings Directive, a near zero-energy building. The
house has been performing smoothly and greenly for more than 17 years.
