The Classicist: 'Take Ivy' - The Original Preppy Handbook
Filed under: Apparel, Books, Men's Style, The Classicist
Take Ivy, with photos by Japan's T. Hayashida, is truly the original preppy handbook, first published way back in 1965 – in Japanese. In the early 1960s Kensuke Ishizu, the founder of an Ivy League-inspired clothing line called Van Jacket, commissioned Hayashida and three other Japanese disciples of clean-cut American style to go on a "fact-finding mission" to all of the States' eight Ivy League colleges – Havard, Yale, Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, Dartmouth, Brown and Cornell – chronicling every element of the students' style along the way. Hayashida took tens of thousands of photos at the colleges, then went on to document the stores the students patronized, the cars they drove and even Ivy League grads working on Madison Avenue. When first published in Japan the book sparked a huge trend for Ivy League fashion among Japanese youths who frequented Tokyo's hip Ginza shopping district.
In subsequent decades the book developed a huge cult following among sartorial connoisseurs, with rare original editions selling for thousands of dollars on eBay. The New York Times called it "a treasure of fashion insiders" and cited its influence on a number of men's fashion designers in an article last year, noting photocopied versions were being passed around design studios helping to spark a whole new trend. Now powerHouse Books is re-issuing the book this month, with a long-awaited English translation; J.Crew has also printed 300 limited edition copies in a special case in celebration to be sold in select J.Crew mens shops, the perfect accompaniment to the Ivy-inspired clothing on its shelves; J. Crew men's designer Frank Muytjens says he was "obsessed" by the book and it's timeless appeal.
While The Official Preppy Handbook, which came out 15 years later, is rather tongue-in-cheek, Take Ivy's approach to the subject is downright scholarly. The implications of 'Ivy Style' "go beyond the group of eight prestigious universities that belong to the Ivy League, American football, or the vine itself that covers the buildings of Ivy League schools," the authors note. "It is also not simply about Madison Avenue, Brooks Brothers, modern jazz and folk songs. They do play a part in defining 'Ivy' as a whole, but each of them is only a peripheral component.... In order to understand the spirit of 'Ivy', you must appreciate and master all aspects of American East Coast culture." Thus the back of the book features instructions on building the perfect Ivy League wardrobe including how to wear key items along with a whole compendium of the Ivy League ethos.

Are You at Risk for Stroke? Stroke is among the leading causes of death in the United States. Strokes, sometimes called "brain attacks," occur when blood flow to part of the brain is blocked. Almost 800,000 people in the United States have a stroke every year, with over 600,000 of those being first-time attacks. The risk of stroke and rates of heart disease are about 2-4 times higher in people with diabetes than without. 15-30 percent of stroke survivors remain permanently disabled afterwards. Prevention is key: maintaining a healthy lifestyle can reduce your risk of stroke by up to 80 percent. Although strokes can occur in anyone at any age, certain risk factors -- including having diabetes -- can make you more likely to have a stroke. Take this quiz to help determine your risk.

Full review
Printers aren't Olympus' bread and butter. The company makes only a handful, and as you might expect, they're all photo printers. The company's latest, the P-10 Digital Photo Printer, billed as the fastest portable photo printer on the market, is certainly speedy, but for over £100, we expect either top-of-the-line output or an abundance of useful features. Unfortunately, the P-10 has neither.
We're big fans of the Olympus P-10's cube-shaped design; it's cute, simple, and very compact. It looks like a petite workgroup laser printer, complete with a 50-sheet input drawer that slides out of the front panel. The ink ribbon slides out of a hatch in the side panel. The P-10's silver-matte body is offset by a dramatic teal-blue front panel. The only control on the body is the power button. You can connect the printer to your PC via the USB port in the back (cable not included). The P-10 also supports PictBridge, so you can connect any compatible digital camera to the USB port on the front panel.
On the downside, the P-10 doesn't have removable media slots or an LCD, so you can't print directly from your camera's memory card. If you don't have a PictBridge camera, you'll have to print through your PC. If you demand a lot of options, such as a card reader, you may be happier with a printer that has more features, such as the HP Photosmart 245.
Olympus was pretty stingy with the P-10's features. On the included CD-ROM you'll find the standard drivers, but none of the bundled image-management and image-editing software we've come to expect with snapshot printers. Even its drivers are basic. The print window has only three accessible tabs: Paper, Graphics and About. Within each tab, Paper covers paper size, number of copies, and borderless printing; Graphics contains a slider bar for adjusting brightness, contrast, gamma, and sharpness; and About just tells you which version of the driver you're using. We expected a little more.
Like many snapshot printers, the P-10 comes with a small five-print starter pack that includes a ribbon cartridge and paper. One notable quirk: Olympus's 100x150mm paper is slightly smaller than its alleged dimensions.
The P-10's prints should please the average digital photographer. At first glance, our test photos appeared smooth and detailed, with pleasing colours. On close scrutiny, however, we saw jaggies in details such as clock hands and noticed a general loss of detail in both shadows and highlights. For example, we could barely see a white egg against a white background or the dark pebbles in a fish tank. The colours in the P-10's prints are also a bit cool, especially compared to those in top-rated prints such as the ones produced by the Sony DPP-EX50 or the full-size Epson Stylus R300. Skin tones look especially pale.
The Olympus P-10 performed very well in our speed tests. It cranked out a 100x150mm borderless photo in 1 minute, 4.2 seconds -- among the fastest times we've seen.

Sorry I can only answer the first question but the answer is Yes, you definitely need reservations, so when you call for the reservations you could ask the second question. Let us know
I have a couple of questions regaring the campgrounds at Fort Wilderness:
1) Is a reservation needed like it is for the resort hotels (will be going in August)?
2) How late can you get there to set up a tent? Most campgrounds have some kind of quiet hours that you need to be in by, and I'm not sure at this point what time I will be arriving.
The happiest place on earth is where my kids are!
You do need reservations! They book up very quickly too
About time getting there. I am pretty sure you do not need to be in by a certain time. I have been getting back from the parks at about 11-1130 and people are just setting up. I think it is like the hotel with that, you can check in at any time. I know Len Testa got there pretty late a few weeks ago and was fine!
Thanks for the help. But, remember, he is THE Len Testa.
The happiest place on earth is where my kids are!
I've been once stayed with family at Fort Wilderness as visiting Disneyland. We love the park a lot as it was clean and so on, we are bearing in mind that only spent the evenings there sleeping, and we felt like that paid too much.

The Hazro HZ27WB is a 27" WQHD LCD Monitor aimed at discerning professionals in the graphic design, video editing, CAD/CAM and multimedia markets. The HZ27WB boasts a response time of 6ms which ensures rapid interchange between colours as you demand without streaking or ghosting - for seamless visual media performance. A superior resolution and enlarged workspace combine to create the ultimate work environment.
Video content bypasses scalers making the HZ27WB ideal for gaming and multimedia video production. The superfast 6ms response [grey to grey] minimises streaking and ghosting resulting in visibly less smear and blur around fast moving objects.
Featuring a 10bit S-IPS panel and a 2560x1440 resolution [WQHD], the HZ27WB is the monitor of choice for creative professionals and gamers who demand nothing but the very best. IPS panels are preferred for their superior true color values, the most consistent image and a superior viewing angle as compared to other LCD technologies.
A fully height adjustable stand complements the design and also allows for tilt and 90degrees rotation. Mounting to walls or adjustable arms is possible as the HZ27WB features both VESA 200x100 and 100x100 mounts without the need for any brackets or special adapters.
The HZ27WB features a anti glare 10bit S-IPS panel capable of displaying 1.07billion colours. This extended pallet outputs brighter, crisper and sharper content allowing for separation and distinction of colours not otherwise possible on traditional LCDs.
The HZ27WB features the narrowest and slimmest bezels of any WQHD monitor and is ideal for use in digital signage, video wall and DID applications. Thanks to its slim design, the gap between two neighbouring HZ27WB displays is only 32mm.
The HZ27WB is manufactured and assembled in the UK with the panel encapsulated in a powder coated metal enclosure. The monitor complements any professional workspace and is ideal for discerning professionals who take pride in their office/home setups.
With a 3.686 megapixel resolution, virtually all applications benefit from the extra workspace. With more room available for viewing tools, windows and color palletes, productivity and output is increased allowing you to deliver those time critical projects on time. The IPS panel makes the HZ27WB also ideal for use in collaborative environments as images won't appear distorted, torn or washed out even at extreme angles of up to 178 degrees.
With a static contrast ratio of 1000:1 [dynamic upto 80,000:1], dark and light shades become easily distinguishable without images taking on grey tones to cover up for the lack of detail. The result is shear brilliance with deeper blacks and vibrant whites resulting in crisper, sharper and more vivid images.
Although aimed at professionals in the creative and multimedia markets; the size, resolution and aesthetic properties of the HZ27WB makes it ideal for use in office, military, medical and light industrial environments. Built and assembled by Hazro in the UK, the HZ27WB can be modified and upgraded to include glass protection, touch screen as well as scaling functionalities.
The S-IPS panel is capable of displaying 1.07billion colours and the processor renders these colors with visibly less shift than most 8bit panels. Horizontal and vertcal banding is reduced with more gradient increments and steps between color shifts resulting in smoother transitions between colors.

In honor of National Women's Health Week, find the balance your busy life demands.May 13 through May 19 marks National Women's Health Week. And although today's woman has more information than ever about how to live a happy, healthy life, frankly, it can be a little overwhelming to try and keep track of it all. Naturally, too much information makes us feel confused, overwhelmed, and over-saturated.
In fact, it's easy for any woman to lose sight of her own authentic path and her most - what she requires to lead a satisfying and balanced life. In honor of National Woman's Health Month, here is a list of what every woman needs to live a happy and well-balanced life:
1. Sex. Research shows that having an active sex life reduces depression and anxiety. Additionally, having sex increases self-esteem, reduces stress, increases quality of sleep, and boosts one's overall immune system. Furthermore, when you reach orgasm, oxytocin (the bonding hormone) is released, and an amnesic effect takes over which can last for up to five hours. Not too shabby! Read More: Do I Have To Settle For Subpar Sex? VIDEO
2. Sleep. Ah, sleep. Your entire well being (including your relationships) depends on it. In fact, the American Sleep Association says, "Many studies make it clear that sleep deprivation is dangerous. Sleep-deprived people who are tested by using a driving simulator or by performing a hand-eye coordination task perform as badly as or worse than those who are intoxicated." Need I say more?
3. Exercise. Here's the deal: exercise (i.e. elevating your heart rate and breaking a sweat) is Miracle Grow for the brain. Regular, aerobic exercise remodels our brains for peak performance by decreasing stress, lifting your mood, and sharpening your intellect. Overall, it simply helps you function better as a person.
4. Connective Relationships. We are all social animals and we crave positive, connective relationships. A healthy relationship helps increase one's confidence and ability to grow as a resilient person. So, if you've finally entered a healthy, loving, stable relationship, that experience can shift the brain's old negative beliefs allowing for a tangible shift in your core self. Read More: Help! My Husband Wants To Have A Threesome VIDEO
5. Stimulating Mental Activity. Just as exercise and sleep are building blocks for your brain, so is stimulating the mind. Whether it's via work or creative hobbies, using your mind to meet specific goal driven tasks not only helps the fibers of your brain to connect in a deeper way, but it helps you feel accomplished as a human being.
6. Play Time. Children are not the only ones who need play time - adults need play time too! When was the last time you got so lost in the moment that nothing else mattered? Allowing yourself time to be creative and spontaneous and soak in new and innovative experiences is essential to the human spirit and gives one a sense of balance in life.
7. Physical Touch. I'm not talking about sex. I'm talking about a hug, a caring squeeze of the arm, a holding of the hand. We are born with the need to be touched. If a baby or child is not held or cuddled enough, he or she will not thrive. A warm, safe touch releases oxytocin (the bonding hormone) as well as reduces levels of the stress hormone, cortisol . In effect, the body interprets a supportive touch as someone saying "I am here for you."
8. Community. There's a reason for the old saying, "It takes a village." Like children, we all need a village or in other words a community, which helps us to feel a part of; a sense of belonging. We are all social animals, hence our value of self is strengthened by the support of a team, a tribe, a village, a group, etc. Being a part of a community via shared interests (i.e. work, church, synagogue, sports, a club, etc.) is what brings the most meaning to our lives.
9. Recharge Time. Just like a battery needs to recharge, so do you in the most simple non-stimulating ways. No, you will not turn into a puddle of mush by recharging with your People or Us Weekly magazine. Mindless, winding down time is just as essential for your well being as anything else. Remember, it's all about moderation. Read More: 5 Ways To Be Happy About Your Love Life Right Now!
10. An Observing Ego. This means taking the time to understand and observe you. It amazes me the amount of people I see walking around completely disconnected from themselves emotionally, physically and mentally. Without a connection to you, living your life in a satisfying way is impossible. How can you learn what your growing needs are without truly understanding you? How can you learn to trust your instincts and make decisions without reflecting on what drives your behaviors? Learning to comfortably observe your own steps in the world is one of the most invaluable gifts you can give yourself and there is no better time than now.

Rating: I really like the blus but I just got my premium pack but the 100 premium batteries I bought also don't fit in it
Love the blu product
Jeremy -
Rating: I tried the blu disposable about a month ago and loved them so much that I decided to purchase the premium 100 pack and have tried the vanilla, regular tobacco, cherry, java jolt,and peach schnapps. And the only one I don't really like is the java jolt. And I love the vanilla and regular tobacco the best. I am thinking about purchasing two more batteries an maybe a new pack because my foam piece that pushes the batterie down in the pack keeps scrunching up and moving but other than that its a great product. Thanks blu!!!!
Rating: Great product so clad I switched. Easy transfer to the classic tobacco tied other E-Cigs on the market BLU is by far the best tasting and most satisfying. I'm a believer..Get one NOW! You wont regret it...
overall its great!
lisa -
Rating: The only complaint I have on the blu is that the batteries don't last long on charges!, you need to have at least 3 to be able to ALWAYS have one when needed!, I ordered 2 extra ones and they both didn't work right, one got really hot, & the other just kept blinking, so am sending back for replacement, hopefully if I call I can get some points for these, since my husband & I have totally converted from the paper cigs, we have spent ALOT of money on cartridges, blu will hopefully replace 7 give us some extra points off vapor packs, overall I love blu, we are hooked for at least 3 months now. THANKS BLU!
worth the money!

Rating: just got blu today and really love it!love the taste and the feel,not to mention the look.....thanks blu for having a wonderful product.
Definitely the best!
Carol -
Rating: My search is over!! I have tried 4 other e-cigs and Blu is by far the best. I have no need to try anything else -- I am totally happy with Blu. I have tried all three nicotine strengths and can honestly say that other than your body's need for nicotine, they are all great. I was an ultra light cigarette smoker so the hit from the full strength cartridge was more than I needed. I have not tried the zero nicotine cartridge yet, but I plan to, soon. still have the ability to satisfy the social and emotional need to 'puff'. Thank you, Blu, for a great product and all the options you provide (especially your cartridge flavors)! I absolutely love Java Jolt!!

Rating: I purchased the starter kit from my local dealer and have been 110% satisfied with them. I had one of my batteries go out on me so I called the customer service and they gave me enough points to get a replacement and I mailed in my broken one so now I have 3. Going out of town this week and can't seem to "track" my order so hope they come in because if not its gonna be a long 4 days with only one batterie. I also ordered a few of the low nicotine so as soon as they come in I will be back and tell everyone how they are but for now so far so good!
amazing product

Rating: Great product. On my second day using blu I've almost converted fully. I love being able to pull off the blu anywhere anytime. I work in a smoke free work place and get this. I was using my blu in the bosses office with no consequences. Only thing I would like to have is a longer battery life. That's all

Rating: I've been seeing the item at the store and spoken to users that I have met around, and everyone states the same thing "love it". So I bought one for myself (the single use classic tobacco) to try, it was exactly what I needed. My husband and I can't smoke at home, car, or work so we are always standing in our garage smoking. The Blu was perfect for our needs and it tastes great. I actually was recommended this type of device I just want to enjoy the Blu taste anywhere I can. Thanks Blu!!!! We love you!!
Love blu

Rating: I LOVE IT SO MUCH
Thank You!
McD -
Rating: the most obvious is I don't smell like an ashtray anymore!
I thought that using Blu would be a alternative to the real thing. I don't smoke much of the Blu either. I probably take a puff at the most, 5 times a day. Although I have the starter kit, I have only used one cartridge and still using it.
I am thankful!
Today, I let one of my co-workers use my other battery pack and a cartridge. I think that he likes it and I may have just converted someone! Another reason to be thankful!
I have not used any other e-cig available in the market. I did my research before getting on the Blu bandwagon. I know that I have made a really good decision. Perhaps, one of the best decisions in my life.
Thank you once again!
Charles -
Rating: Better , i ordered the starter kit and refills, going to order my Wife the starter kit as well. Then I plan on ordering anther kit for myself. I love earning the points.
Amazing Product - Must buy!!
Nate -
Rating: i've been smoking about half a pack a day for a year now (light compared to others on here, i know). today, my mom's buddy had one that he didn't care for (just the flavor he didn't like), so he passed it over to me, and i loved it. again, not so much the flavor, but it's better than real smokes, as far as that goes. plus i can freak out my step-dad by "smoking" in the house :) i WILL end up buying a starter kit. thanks for a great product, Blu!!

Best Decision I've Ever Made
Captain Chunk -
Rating: Saw the BluCig commercials about a month ago and said, "gotta give it a try." Purchased the kit and for two weeks today. Is the Blu Cig the same as a Cigarette...No. Is it comparable--absolutely. It takes a couple days to get used to how hard to hit the e-cig but from there it is all down hill. Thank you BluCig for the awesome product and a 16 year, pack a day user have deeper pockets these days and hopefully keeping me around on the planet a bit longer...
Great Product
Kristi -
Rating: Many other ecigs have minute traces of nicotine in the "non-nicotine" ones but blu does not as my doctor researched this for me. Thank you blu for making a quality product.
blu is whats up!

Rating: I was skeptical at first but I love this product its everything
Love them..
Ramona -
Rating: They give me all the pleasure of having a cigarette. Since seeing my satisfaction with them, my son has ordered the premium starter pack . When you smoke a real cigarette, you smoke it until it is gone, with blu cig, you take the puffs you want , then lay it down.

Ed Werder Talks About His Recent Feud With T.O.
I promise this is the last story on this whole "feud". Well at least until Owens, or another Cowboy, goes all "Bobby Bonilla" on Ed Werder in the locker room. Barry Horn of the Dallas Morning News actually got a hold of Werder, and this is what the ESPN reporter had to say about the situation....
"I was shocked," Werder said. "I've been covering the Cowboys since 1989 and I have never been put in a position like that. It was a first."I'm still inclined to believe Werder in all of this, and he should never give up his sources if he doesn't want to, but it was ultimately a questionable decision on his and ESPN's part to go with the story. Especially when you consider all of the hype the "Leader" fed into Dallas right before, and at the start of the season. Werder made a few thousand enemies in the state of Texas, and if the Cowboys are such a huge ratings draw, it definitely wasn't the best idea to go with a story that is based on rumor.
When the two saw each other in the post-game news conference, Werder reports, "He called me a name but it wasn't a profanity."
Werder, it should be pointed out, was not the only reporter to deal with last week's series of Owens-related events. In fact, he wasn't the first to report the Owens-Roy Williams-Patrick Crayton trip to Jason Garrett's office. Nor was he the first to report on the alleged skirmish between T.O. and Witten. Werder's Thursday report was primarily on T.O.'s effect on Romo. In that report, he quoted Bradie James on his role in mediating and relied on unnamed sources.
Werder thinks what T.O. really wants is to know who Werder's sources are. "I think that's his frustration in all of this. He wants to know who in the locker room I talked to who obviously doesn't respect him and I won't ever tell him that."
But then again, Jerry Jones basically said that any press is good press, so this rift will probably not be an issue going forward.

Locked-out sugar company workers in MN, ND reject contract offer
American Crystal Sugar Co. workers have rejected a contract for the fourth time.
FARGO, N.D. — American Crystal Sugar Co. workers have rejected a contract for the fourth time.
The workers have been locked out of their jobs for 16 months. Union officials said in a release Saturday night that 55 percent of workers voted to reject management's contract offer.
The lockout originally affected about 1,300 workers, but more than 500 have left since then.
Contract opponents said the proposal cuts health care benefits and weakens job security. The company said the offer would raise worker pay by 17 percent over five years.
Last year, more than 90 percent of the workers rejected the contract. In June, it was turned down with a 63 percent vote.
American Crystal runs five sugar beet processing plants in North Dakota and Minnesota. It is the nation's largest sugar beet processor.

Dolphins Friday Roundup: Talking final days of lockout, Ray Edwards, Brandon Marshall, and Tarvaris Jackson
It was quite the eventful Friday. Several reports surfaced that were worthy of a post. Obviously, the near resolution to the NFL lockout is dominating headlines, and rightfully so, as we all desperately want football to start on time in a couple weeks.
But there were also a few Dolphins-related nuggets that flew under the radar that should be interesting storylines to follow once an agreement is official. So let's jump right in.
Resolution to lockout expected early next week
A day after the major breakthrough in negotiations that was the agreement in principle to a rookie wage scale, all significant stumbling blocks appear to have been hurdled. Today, the owners dropped their proposal to have one-time, right-of-first-refusal tags on free agents. Finishing up the language of the new deal, solving a few procedural minor issues, and dotting the i's and crossing the t's is all that's apparently left to do.
How about this feel good tweet courtesy of Albert Breer to assure you sleep well tonight: "As we reported on Total Access, after two furious days of talk, agreement in principle expected early next week. Nearly nothing in the way." At one point in time we were all worried we could miss a huge chunk of the 2011 season. Now it appears most teams won't even miss a practice in training camp.
Dolphins reportedly interested in Ray Edwards
Jason La Canfora is apparently pretty tight with the Dolphins' front office. A couple days after launching all of this Reggie Bush to Miami speculation, he reported that the Dolphins are very interested in soon-to-be former Minnesota Viking defensive end Ray Edwards. Before you get bent out of shape as to why the Dolphins would ink another defensive end when they are loaded at the position, Edwards comes from the Vikings' 4-3 system, meaning he would be an outside linebacker in Miami, one of the team's top three needs as we inch closer to free agency.
Edwards hasn't exactly established himself as a household name playing in the large shadow of All-Pro DE Jared Allen, but he's been solid the past two seasons with back-to-back 8-sack campaigns. According to Pro Football Focus, those sack totals don't justify how effectively he's been able to rush the passer. They claim he created a quarterback disruption on 69 of his 416 snaps he rushed, ranking third in the entire league. Add that to the fact that he's only 26 years old and it's easy to see why the Dolphins may pursue heavily in free agency considering their defense could be another consistent pass rusher away from emerging as an elite unit.
But the price has to be right. Edwards is likely going to ask to be paid near the likes of the upper echelon defensive ends in the league. He may not even be a starter if he were to sign with the Dolphins. Miami obviously already has Koa Misi slotted to start on the strong side opposite Cameron Wake this year. What they're really looking for is a situational pass rusher who could spell Misi in nickel and dime packages. Under that scenario, Edwards would still play the majority of his snaps with his hand in the dirt and barring injury, how quickly he could transition to playing standing up in the 3-4 wouldn't be as crucial.
It's something the Dolphins would surely benefit from, but would it really be worth paying a situational pass rusher starter's money? Unless, of course, the Dolphins move Misi inside next to Karlos Dansby and give the keys to starting outside linebacker to Edwards. But I think we're getting a little ahead of ourselves there.

JULIAN, W.Va. -- Massey Energy dropped plans to install "degasification wells" at its Upper Big Branch Mine after federal regulators gave their blessing to alternative efforts to avoid a repeat of two methane inundations at the mine in 2003 and 2004, company officials said Friday.
Massey officials said the company opted instead to focus on trying to direct more fresh air toward the mine's working face to avoid a gas inundation of the sort Massey believes led to the April 5 explosion that killed 29 miners.
Massey CEO Don Blankenship said the company switched gears on the issue in response to updated recommendations from federal agencies and an agreement at the time with the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration about the best course of action.
"I don't know of any degassing," Blankenship said. "My understanding of the conclusion that both MSHA and Massey reached at the time was that the answer was more air."
Blankenship discussed the 2003 and 2004 gas "outbursts" from the Upper Big Branch Mine floor in a wide-ranging and unprecedented discussion with news media representatives Friday afternoon.
Massey invited about a dozen local and national reporters to its regional headquarters along Corridor G, south of Charleston, for an on-the-record but informal discussion. Questions focused on mine safety and the Upper Big Branch disaster, but Massey said Blankenship would discuss anything except a potential sale of the Richmond, Va.-based coal giant.
Blankenship said he wanted to meet with the media in a less formal setting, to clear up what he said were erroneous reports about Upper Big Branch and to urge reporters to focus more on Massey's complaints about MSHA policies the company says are threatening miner safety and health.
In the more than two-hour session, Blankenship repeatedly came back to Massey's complaint that MSHA has stopped mine operators from using scrubber devices to control coal dust in underground mines.
"It could be a factor in an explosion tomorrow," Blankenship said of MSHA's moves to limit scrubber use. "It could be a factor in someone getting black lung."
MSHA has said the dispute is more about Massey's desire to resume taking large cuts of coal, a procedure the agency says is often too dangerous. On Friday, MSHA spokeswoman Amy Louviere said her agency has no policy banning the use of scrubbers, and that about half of Massey's mining units are permitted to operate the devices on their continuous-mining machines.
"The ventilation plans at some Massey operations where they were using continuous miners with scrubbers did not comply with basic dust-control and other regulatory requirements," Louviere said in an e-mail message. "MSHA continues to monitor their compliance performance on a mine-by-mine basis."
Blankenship also repeated Massey's contention that MSHA forced the company to make ventilation changes prior to the Upper Big Branch explosion that reduced the amount of fresh air being directed toward the working face of the mine's longwall section.
But in a memo leaked to the press in July, MSHA deputy assistant secretary Greg Wagner noted that Massey publicly touted its effort to get more air to the Upper Big Branch longwall face, but had actually sought approval in January 2010 to reduce that airflow.
"Massey actually proposed dramatically reducing the amount of air on the longwall face by using the air from the existing ventilation plan to ventilate a proposed section near the Ellis portal," Wagner wrote. "Massey had hoped to begin mining the older section of the mien allowing it to produce more coal."

For breast cancer survivors, factors that increase the risk of a recurrence include:
In recent years, genetic tests designed to predict the risk of breast cancer recurrence have become available. These tests (MammaPrint, Oncotype DX) measure activity in up to 70 genes associated with breast cancer, a process known as gene expression profiling. The results are used to estimate the chance that a woman's cancer will come back. But so far these tests have a very limited role and are applicable only for women with estrogen receptor positive tumors that don't show any sign of spread to the lymph nodes. The tests have been used to plan treatment for primary breast cancer in a very small minority of women. More research is needed to determine whether these genetic tests might prove useful in predicting risk of recurrence on a broader scale.

"Jennie" was designed by the famed Kasten Marine and is the epitome of proper steel yacht design. She is laid out and equipped for world voyaging on any ocean in any conditions. She is NOT a docksider with intercoastal ambitions! She IS available at less than 50% of her build cost.
"Jennie" carries all the essential attributes of a WORLD CLASS YACHT... strength, safety, seakindlyness, performance, comfort, style and grace.
Please allow us the opportunity to introduce you to this World Voyager.
Owner says, "Bring All Offers"!
Jennie has a lovely and highly functional forward living area, galley area, nav station and two quarterberths making her the ultimate couple's bluewater cruiser (but she will sleep 4) ...with CLASS! Beginning forward below, the Fo'c's'l can be entered via a watertight access hatch in the exterior foredeck. The Fo'c's'l is used for anchor storage fed by spurling pipes directly from the foredeck windlass. Aft of the Fo'c's'l is the saloon, containing a settee berth to port and to starboard of a central folding table, allowing standing headroom between the settee berths. Aft of the galley to port is a large hanging locker/bureau. Aft of the galley to starboard is the head/shower compartment containing a vanity with sink, and a marine toilet. Inboard of the head is a companionway ladder leading up to the midship deck. To port of the companionway ladder is a door providing access to the engine room. Aft Cabin Aft of the engine room is the Captain's cabin, accessed via a separate companionway and ladder directly from the aft deck. Facing the ladder there is a very large navigation area with extensive electronics and a large chart table. Single berths are located to both port and starboard of the navigation station. European beechwood woodwork throughout and large dry goods storage area below the cabin sole.
Aft of the saloon is the galley. The galley contains a three burner propane range with oven, a top loading refrigerator compartment and a large sink. To port in the galley is a full length counter top at 36" height, that can double as a desk. Water tanks are located below the counters in the galley to port and starboard.
Being a true bluewater boat, "Jennie" is equipped with top of the line electronics that make navigation a much less daunting task. With the Furuno Radar and C-Map Chart Recorder System (GPS cards for North Island New Zealand, the Caribbean, Bahamas, and the USA Coast from Florida to Chesapeake Bay) she is more than ready to take you on your next adventure.
The schooner rig is designed for efficiency whether on or off the wind, and to provide several well balanced and easily handled sail combinations. The masts are raked aft substantially, in order to keep the boom ends out of the water as the boat rolls at sea. The rake allows the foremast halyard to be positioned above the forward cabin top, and the main halyard above the aft cabin for ease of loading a skiff or other gear on deck. Spars Masts are sleeved and jointed and are fully sealed water tight by welding at the top and bottom. The masts are keel stepped. The outer ends of the booms and gaffs are capped with weld-caps. Mast tops are tapered using facets of flat plate. The gooseneck fittings are fabricated out of aluminum plate, heavy wall aluminum tubing, and type 316 stainless rod. Goosenecks are welded to the masts and reefing gear has been fabricated out of aluminum and welded to the booms. Standing Rigging The designer thought it best to make use of wire stops/grommets, soft eyes, rope stops, and other soft connections as opposed to fabricating complex hardware fittings that would be difficult to replace over the course of vessel maintenance. The bowsprit has been rigged with chain. The main mast is supported by a pair of shrouds on each side. The foremast is supported by a forestay as well as a pair of shrouds on either side. All standing rigging is comprised of galvanized stainless steel wire.

Click here for our list of Country of Origin Experts.
Country of Origin Information experts have achieved the years of academic and practical experience about a particular country that qualifies their COI information to provide supporting objective evidence on a claim for refugee status. The Country of Origin Information experts listed below have agreed to work pro bono for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) which do not charge refugees for legal services.
The recommended COI specialists we have listed have filed their curriculum vitae with us and have agreed to work on cases with legal advisers on a confidential basis. The Fahamu Refugee Programme cannot assume responsibility for the quality of their work. Lawyers representing refugee claims should first write about the case to the persons listed on the country pages to ensure their expertise is relevant to your case and for them to agree with you on their working arrangements. We do not have COI specialists for all countries. Should you be willing to be a COI specialist, please contact infofahamu [dot] org, Subject Line: 'COI offered'.
We have recently received 'Expert Country Evidence in Asylum and Immigration Cases in the United Kingdom: Best Practice Guide'. This guide provides advice on how to write effective reports that meet the expert witness's obligations. While designed for COI experts in the UK we believe all would benefit.
The European Country of Origin Information network provides Country of Origin Information for all the main countries from which refugees originate. Whilst it does not offer the specialised expertise required in individual cases, it gives solid background information and is a useful starting point.
For your interest, we note that the European Asylum Support Office, Malta, has now produced 'Common EU guidelines for processing Country of Origin Information (COI)' . The methodology is split into five sections: Standards, Initiation, Research, Report, and Finalisation and follow-up. In addition, it includes two nnnexes: Glossary and EASO COI report template. This methodology is a public document and was developed for the purpose of EASO COI reports. However, all Member States are encouraged to use this methodology for their own COI reports.
Please see the training document on "Researching Country of Origin Information" that could be useful to those academics having little experience in writing declarations on behalf of asylum seekers. It includes all the relevant refugee laws for those of you who may need background on the 1951 Convention and other legal matters pertinent to refugees. There are also links to declarations or expert opinions published by various organisations that you can easily access. You can find the document and download it as a pdf file here.Amnesty International: Annual Report 2012
Amnesty International is a global movement of more than 3 million supporters, members and activists in more than 150 countries and territories who campaign to end grave abuses of human rights. Our vision is for every person to enjoy all the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights standards. We are independent of any government, political ideology, economic interest or religion and are funded mainly by our membership and public donations.
The report contains updated country information and reveals that failed leadership has gone global in 2011. What emerged during a year of unrest, transition and conflict was the singular failure of leadership at the national and international level. Officials of repressive governments who dismiss the concept of the universality of human rights and argue that human rights are western values being imposed on them have had their arguments laid bare. Leaders must understand the imperative to build and maintain a system that protects the powerless and restrains the powerful.

Skateboarding Cat Has The Best Day Ever, Is A Skateboarding Cat

Not sure if this is the cutest or the saddest thing in the whole world. Maybe both.
Seen here training in his chic apartment, this goalie could probably get a job on a MLS team right meow.
Truly theraputic.
The great Japanese auteur returns to his greatest muse: the cardboard box.
It's cold and gray and everything is miserable…until you find out that when it snows, Maru wears a little blue hoodie.
Kido's first time… pretty impressive.
Please add the cat video that best represents your mood today to the comments. There is truly no better way to communicate.
Actually he just hates this terrible singing reindeer toy which, to be fair, you probably would too.
The only steadfast and absolute truth in the entire world: cats love boxes.
And using a little floatie. What more do you want from the Internet?
An independent film trailer.
All you need is a camera and a cat to make a dumb cat video. Wait for it…
This is his kitty fortress.
Henri, here at BuzzFeed, we totally took that cat running for mayor seriously. Je vous en prie.
Do yourself a favor and just watch it, okay? You won't be disappointed.
Problem? (via reddit.com)
In which Maru wins gold medals in sliding, jumping, box diving, and hilariously delayed reactions.
But…what's that lurking black cat up to?
Her name is Anais Mittins, and she knows exactly what she wants. Not familiar with Henri? Watch up: part one and part two.
This cat has just discovered the wheel, and I can't quite tell if he's really excited or really freaked out. Then he jumps back on and it's confirmed: Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
This cat is tough!
This cat is advanced. I'm sure this has something to do with his sense of smell but I don't care: it's magic!
Jesus Christ, this car ride is awesome.
