Well, many of you have heard the sad news that the new Forest Service road closures has already struck pretty close to home here in Flagstaff. Kelly Canyon Rd., which offers the only really good access to the bouldering at the top of the canyon, has been closed to motorized travel. Whether you have tasted the gritty slopers of Kelly Canyon or not, please consider taking a moment to fill out the bottom of this form www.fs.usda.gov/detailfull/coconino/landmanagement/projects/>>>, asking for alternatives to this gate closure. There are an awful lot of climbers around, maybe it's time we try throwing a little weight around? Foot travel from the interstate exit is still allowed.........
Done! It was super easy and fast to fill out. Thanks for posting it up JJ. I don't go there that often but know lots that do. It's a nice escape form the heat some and some excellent bouldering for sure!
I'm an out of towner... when you say 'foot travel from the interstate' what does that mean exactly? Also, I would be happy to comment. Would I just say the Kelly Canyon Rd? Do you just park right off the interstate now? Forgive my ignorance, I've only been there once but was looking to taste the gritty slopers again this weekend.
Done! Do you know why it is closed? It is listed here: Road Status as "Open". Let me know what I can do to help. My craving for Coconino Sandstone and cool temps must be satiated!
Right on guys, thanks for helping. MIYG, you can park at the gate, and walk in, but off hand I would say it is three miles or so to the descent into the canyon. I could be very wrong about that, but even the drive in takes a little while. The truly devoted could make the flat hike in without to much fuss, but it certainly changes the game out there.
Done. Bump.
did it too!
Done ... and done
I noticed there is a USGS lock on the gate, hypothetically if someone had such a key and were to unlock the gate, locking it behind them and drive in and park at the top of Kelly would that be so wrong? done. bump.
hypothetically, how would one acquire said key?
Did it!
I have said key!
I filled this out. As well,when the TMP started, there was a protest petition on MP that a lot of us responded to. Who did that,and what happened to the signatures/meeting/outcome??? Steve
We found some easy access to Kelly from the other side of the canyon. It takes only 5 minutes more than the old approach. Take the Kachina exit off of 17, west towards the gas station next to the highway. Immediately before the gas station is an old paved road, take a left on that as it briefly parallels the highway. It bends right and goes over a cattle guard. From the cattle guard, go .9 miles and take a left on a dirt road. Go .5 miles and park at a tiny spot on the right. If the road continues at 0 degrees and right is 90, hike at about 60 degrees for a few minutes until you hit a small ridge line and old road. Follow the ridge until it starts to drop down more steeply and then trend right to the bottom of the canyon.
FYI, the road you turn on at .9 mile is not a legal road according to the motor vehicle use map. to be compliant one would have to park and walk from here.
Could be right, but I'm not so sure. There was a Forest Service road sign on it, road 9498A if I remember correctly.
Oookay. Well, per my original post looks like we are good to go with some easy access to Kelly.
I have it on the in from a FS employee that come next year the road will be open again. He said they have to reprint the map every year and they are hearing a lot of protest about the road closure so it is likely to change. He said it was an "ill-informed" decision to close it in the first place.
So much for the environmentalist ethic that used to rule Northern Arizona. There's already too many roads boys, would a three mile walk really kill ya?

Introducing EclipseLink
The Eclipse Persistence Services Project, more commonly known as EclipseLink, is a comprehensive open source persistence solution. EclipseLink was started by a donation of the full source code and test suites of Oracle's TopLink product. This project brings the experience of over 12 years of commercial usage and feature development to the entire Java community. This evolution into an open source project is now complete and developers will soon have access to the EclipseLink 1.0 release.
We describe EclipseLink as a comprehensive solution because it delivers not one, but a set of persistence services enabling developers to efficiently develop applications that access data in a variety of data sources and formats. EclipseLink's services currently include object-relational with JPA, object-XML binding in MOXy (with support for JAXB), and a Service Data Objects (SDO) implementation sharing a common mapping core. EclipseLink's most popular persistence service is dealing with relational databases through JPA. In this article I'll introduce the EclipseLink JPA implementation and some of its advanced features. We'll delve into the other persistence services in future articles.
JPA and Beyond
EclipseLink 1.0 supports JPA 1.0 and also offers many advanced features. The project's intent is to deliver a standards based solution focussed on JPA but with the abilitity to use advanced features for those applications where they are required. By focusing first on JPA, the EclipseLink project enables broad integration and minimizes coupling. With the recent announcement that EclipseLink will be delivering the reference implementation of JPA 2.0 (JSR 317) the project team will continue to lead the standardization of many of the advanced features.
Advanced object-relational mappings in EclipseLink JPA offers greater flexibility when dealing with complex or legacy relational schemas. This mapping support has evolved over many years of commercial use dealing with many 'interesting' (i.e., challenging) domain models and relational schemas. The resulting support is supported through JPA where possible and configurable with EclipseLink specific mappings when no cooresponding features exists in JPA. As mentioned above, some advanced features are making their way into JPA 2.0 and over time you can expect the use of implementation specific features to decline as the specification evolves.
Converters allow developers to customize how database values are converted into the domain model and how these values are then written back into the database. This supports user-defined types as well as custom conversion logic that can be used with any mapping. Converters are defined once for a persistence unit and can then be used in any entity through their unique name. All converters implement EclipseLink's Converter interface.
@Converter(name="money-converter", converterClass=mypackage.MyMoneyConverter.class) ... @Convert("money-converter") private Money balance;
The above example shows how a developer can write their own converter class and then define it under a user provided name. Once defined, a Converter can be attached to any number of mappings through the @Convert annotation or in an XML mapping file. EclipseLink also provides out of the box converters for handing primitive value and type conversions and some database specific data types.

Doug Clarke replied on Tue, 2008/07/01 - 3:10pm
EclipseLink 1.0 has added cache interceptors to enable us to leverage grid caching solutions such as Oracle's Coherence. The actual implementation for Coherence is not available yet but is being worked on and we hope to attract other grid vendors to integrate their solutions as well. The approach taken allows you to leverage the grid as more then just a simple data cache. You should be able to leverage its distributed data porocessing capabilities for query execution and concurrency protection.
For the 1.1 release I hope to have an implementation that iullustrates how an alternate caching solution such as ehCache could be used. If interested in learning more please post a question to the users mailing list or newsgroup and we can get you connected with the developers working on the solution and the technical details necessary to use it.
I also recommend looking at our cache coordination support that is offerred out of the box. It addresses minimizing stale data in the cache in a clustered deployment.

Mike Keith replied on Fri, 2008/07/04 - 8:44am in response to: Sudhakar Ramasamy
JPA 2.0 will have a Java-based expression language (sometimes called a "criteria API"). It will not be as powerful as the existing native TopLink expression API, but will offer all of the current functionality in JP QL, plus more as possible and appropriate. Although EclipseLink already includes support for a Java expression/criteria API, it will also include the new JPA 2.0 API once we have fully specified it. The EclipseLink API will continue to be offered, though, so you can use that now and migrate to the JPA version when it is specified and implemented.

Doug Clarke replied on Wed, 2008/07/09 - 4:37am in response to: Donny A. Wijaya
Yes, all of the advanced features configured using annotations can also be done using XML.
For the example provided in the article I can have an EclipseLink-ORM.XML file containing:
<converter name="money-converter" class="mypackage.MoneyConverter"/>
Then when I wish to use it on a mapping:
<basic name="balance">
In EclipseLink 1.0 these XML files can be used in place of the standard JPA ones or as overrides with just the advanced features specified to enable greater portability between vendors.
It is our goal to continue to drive the advanced features we have added based on user requirements back into future versions of the standards. I will leave it to our expert group memebers to comment on the specifics but you can also get more involved by providing feedback directly to the expert group and reviewing all of the drafts that they publish (http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=317).
Sudhakar Ramasamy replied on Thu, 2008/07/10 - 2:32pm
Thanks for the response about the Criteria API. Can you shed some light on the integration with Teneo - the EMF to JPA persistence framework.
I'm investigating the feasibilty of an EMF - JFace Databinding - Teneo - EclipseLink - Derby stack for a rich client application and anything that makes this seamless/painless would be very helpful.

Calls began to pour into the Norfolk PD on Wednesday, on reports of a lion on the loose!
Police officials immediately called the Virginia Zoo to confirm that both of its lions were secure and accounted for.
Turns out that the "vicious lion" is a 3-year-old labradoodle!
Charlie's owner, Daniel Painter, shaved the pup in order for him to play the part of an unofficial mascot for Old Dominion University.

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
Every incoming freshman to every college athletic program wants to make an impact. On the athletic field.Unfortunately those kids sometimes make the headlines in other ways before they even have a chance to step on the field or court. Maybe their grades and SAT test scores are questioned or they get in trouble with the law, both all-too common occurrences. In those two cases, the student-athlete typically has some control of his or her fate in the public eye. Stay out of trouble with the police and don't cheat on the SAT, and your first publicity in college will be athletic, not scandal related. That's why what has happened this summer with 2007 Collins Hill grad Maya Moore is a shame. You know her, arguably the best girls basketball player Georgia has ever produced. Two-time Naismith national player of the year. Because she was such a phenomenal athlete and exceptional basketball player, every college basketball program in the nation wanted her, including two of the best, Connecticut and Tennessee. Both schools made her final list before she eventually chose the Huskies. The recruiting battle for Moore was waged and won long ago, yet it has become the subject of much discussion this summer as she prepares for her freshman season at UConn. It has thrown her name into the middle of the heated UConn-Tennessee women's basketball rivalry, unfairly plastering it into the headlines for something not basketball-related. Volunteer head coach Pat Summitt announced this summer that her team would no longer play a regular-season game vs. Connecticut. That led to speculation of why and the focus turned to Moore after someone from the SEC reportedly sent questions to the NCAA regarding Connecticut's recruiting of the Collins Hill star, but nothing ever came of it. The story, covered well by the Hartford Courant, included questions that former UConn All-Americans Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird gave Moore a ride to the 2006 Naismith Awards (both Taurasi and Bird have denied doing so). It doesn't appear any deeper investigation will happen, but it's sad that Moore is in the spotlight for the wrong reasons. Luckily, she is the right kid to handle the scrutiny - mature beyond her years and accustomed to frequent interviews by the media. Hopefully everyone will get past the recruiting situation in the near future and allow the 18-year-old what she deserves, a chance to make news on the basketball court. Will Hammock can be reached via e-mail at will.hammock@gwinnett dailypost.com. His column appears on Thursdays.

Joe Bundick is a well-rounded scholar, athlete and leader. He has played several sports and has volunteered his time to coach and umpire, while maintaining an excellent GPA.
His favorite sport is baseball, which he has been playing since he was in Little League at age 6. He was disappointed to not make the high school team as a freshman but instead of giving up, he worked hard to get back on track. He is now on varsity and considers his return to baseball the highlight of his high school career.
"Not making the team hurt on the inside and it was tough," he said. "I worked harder to make the team and the knowledge that I am able to come back from failure is important."
His Wollochet Baseball Club coach, William Clark, said Bundick has developed into a good leader on the summer team.
"As a catcher, he led by example, game after game," Clark said. "He took on a leadership role that held others accountable for their play. … Under his leadership on the field, one of his teams won a league title."
Bundick has used his passion for sports to give back. He has officiated soccer, baseball, girls lacrosse and basketball games.
"It gives me an opportunity to excel in my own confidence because it's my job and I'm the authoritative figure," he said.
Officiating has also given him a better appreciation for sports in general, he said.
"He not only has passion for success but also a compassion for others that need help," Clark said.
An aspiring entrepreneur, Bundick has been involved with the DECA marketing club, competing at state. He's also been inspired by his father, who is a banker, to open up and manage a small investment portfolio.
"I've gained knowledge and that's more valuable to me than the small amount of money we made," he said.
He wants to use his entrepreneurial interests in college and is considering double majoring in mechanical engineering and business administration. Bundick's favorite subjects are math and science and he got a glimpse into the engineering profession while participating in the Washington Aerospace Scholars program.
"I enjoy everything about engineering but I also have a passion for people and interaction," he said.
Bundick plans to attend the University of Washington and is keeping his career options open. One of his dreams is to work in a large engineering company.

Best thing about high school: "High school is the place to find oneself. At GHHS, I had the opportunity to surround myself with the best people ever and discover who I am."

"I ordered my Christmas cards and paid extra for a rush order on the evening of Dec.18th not knowing that if I asked to see a proof it will delay the entire process. I called frantically and Tiny Prints delivered the cards and envelopes on Friday instead of Monday the 23rd so I can send them off on Saturday the 21th. I had time on Friday to custom print addresses on my printer for each of my 98 cards and they were all ready to be mailed on Saturday. Thanks to Tiny prints my family and friends received all their cards on Monday the 23rd before Christmas Day and I was one VERY HAPPY customer. Thank you, Bubook"
"I really liked my cards, and the people who received then had very favorable comments. The only thing I would change would be the ability to add text boxes where I want them and to make the text box larger if I need it to be."
"My family each did a piece of snowman art and then took pics of them to share on our card this year. The printing was excellent--my husband, who worked in printing for 15 years was very pleased with the quality! I loved this layout so we could include all of our art on the front and a pic of the kids on the back. Received sooner than expected too!"
"We LOVE this card and are so happy we chose it for our Christmas card! It is absolutely beautiful, sturdy, and a great size. We ordered it in red with rounded corners and the green back. We are very happy with this Tiny Prints product!"
"Loved the color selection and the quality of the printed product. The delivery was faster than expected and I live in Canada so I was pleasantly surprised at how soon I received my order!"

Lawmakers give initial approval to fire bill
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) _ A measure to help fight wildfires in rural Nebraska has won initial approval from lawmakers.
Lawmakers voted 36-0 on Monday to advance the bill, in response to summer blazes that scorched massive areas of rural Nebraska.
The bill would place aerial tankers in Valentine and Chadron during fire season, require the state to thin forests, and offer new training to emergency responders, in addition to other steps.
Nebraska experienced 1,570 wildfires last year that burned a total of 786 square miles. Many of the fires are blamed on eastern red cedar trees, which are invasive and highly flammable.
The bill was sponsored by Sen. Al Davis of Hyannis.

Tomkins pleads not guilty to assaulting cop
Updated 7:02pm Thursday 9th January 2014 in Echo News
WEST Ham star James Tomkins has pleaded not guilty to assaulting a police officer outside Sugar Hut in Brentwood.
The 24-year-old defender appeared at Basildon Magistrates' Court this morning after being charged following the incident.
Tomkins, who lives just off Priests Lane, Brentwood, also pleaded not guilty to being drunk and disorderly in Hart Street and resisting arrest.
All three charges relate to incidents which happened on December 21 and 22.
He will now stand trial at the same court on April 17 with his legal team saying he would "vigorously" fight the charges.

Jason Hammel was perfect through the first four innings of Game 5, but in the fifth inning, he allowed a clean single to Mark Teixeira for the first Yankees runner of the game:
That wasn't all, though. Hammel now had to deal with Teixeira on the bases, which means throw after throw over to first base, worrying about the runner more than the hitter. Or, it might mean no throw at all, and no first baseman playing near the bag, which allows Teixeira to walk halfway to second before Hammel is finished with his windup.
The latter. It meant the latter, and Teixeira stole second easily after walking into his lead.
That became a big deal when Raul Ibanez rapped a single into right-center, allowing the dynamic Teixeira to score easily. A groundball from Nick Swisher turned into a double play, and after a Curtis Granderson single and stolen base, Russell Martin flied out to end the inning.
The damage was done, though, and the Yankees hold a 1-0 behind the legs of Mark Teixeira. Hammel worked almost as hard in the fifth -- throwing 25 pitches -- as he did in the first four inning combined.

TARRANT COUNTY — A "squatter" who used the law of adverse possession to take over a luxury home goes on trial in Fort Worth Tuesday. It's the first of several cases exposed by News 8 last year.
We found David Cooper living in a $400,000 home in north Arlington last year.
"Like I said, this house was abandoned before I got it," he said, adding that he legally took it over by filing a claim of adverse possession.
It cost him $16.
"After I looked up the Texas law and found out it was legal, then I found out there are ways I can do it," he said. "So that's how we made it happen. It's been a law since the 1800s."
After the story aired, Cooper was arrested for theft and burglary. He's the first of at least eight people facing trial in Tarrant County for moving into homes after filing adverse possession claims.
Records show about 60 adverse possession affidavits filed in Tarrant County last year on millions of dollars of property, including a mansion. Most people never actually moved into the houses.
The district attorney declared the claims fraudulent, and told the county clerk to stop accepting them.
"But that's not the law," Cooper insisted. "You got to go with the law... Texas law. This house was abandoned," he said, adding that he was fixing up the home.
In the case against David Cooper, the true homeowner said she was out of town getting medical treatment when her house was taken over.
The adverse possession argument will now get its first test before a judge and jury.

Solar Cooker Basics
Until you see a solar cooker in action, it is hard to appreciate its power and simplicity for saving lives and changing lives. Most solar cookers follow this basic principle: sunlight is converted to heat energy that is retained for cooking.
This simple principle has led people to cook with sun for centuries. Because traditional fuels are increasingly scarce and expensive, we see solar thermal cooking technology as one modern solution to the critical shortage for household fuel worldwide.
There are three basic types of solar cookers: panel, box, and parabolic reflector. Materials and construction vary widely, ranging from found or recycled materials, to sophisticated, engineered polymers. Different cookers serve different needs, though all are designed to give a cook the oven she or he needs to cook local foods and pasteurize drinking water for families.
The panel cooker shown here is the SCI CooKit This iconic solar cooker was designed for performance, convenience, low cost and adaptability. Since its creation in 1994, this elegant and deceptively simple solar oven has cooked meals and pasteurized water for hundreds of thousands of refugees and many others who live in sun-rich regions where fuel is scarce or expensive.
Explore a collection of articles about solar cooking basics. If you're trying solar cooking for the first time, looking for recipes, researching solar oven designs, or want to buy a commercial solar cooker, SCI can help.

I read the Art of War for pleasure
And I like reading about strategic legends like this one
Borrowing of arrows with straw boats
Prior to the Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhuge Liang visited Sun Quan's camp to assist Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was jealous of Zhuge Liang's talent and felt that Zhuge would become a threat to his lord in future. He assigned Zhuge Liang the task of making 100,000 arrows in ten days or face execution for failure in duties under military law. Zhuge Liang promised that he could complete the mission in three days. With help from Lu Su, Zhuge Liang prepared 20 large boats, each manned by a few soldiers and filled with human-like figures made of straw and hay.
At dawn, when there was a great fog, Zhuge Liang deployed the boats and they sailed towards Cao Cao's camp across the river. He ordered the troops to beat war drums loudly and shout orders to imitate the noise of an attack. Upon hearing the noise, Cao Cao's troops rushed out to engage the enemy, but they were unsure of the enemy's strength, because their vision was obscured by the fog. They fired volleys of arrows towards the sound of the drums and the arrows became stuck in the straw figures. In the meantime, Zhuge Liang was enjoying wine with Lu Su inside the cabin and they returned to camp when the fog cleared. Zhuge Liang acquired more than 100,000 arrows with his plan and Zhou Yu had no choice but to let him off.

The point of Shambhala Training is to get out of the cocoon, which is the shyness and aggression in which we have wrapped ourselves… A Shambhala warrior is someone who is brave enough not to give in to the aggression and contradictions that exist in society…who is able to step out of the cocoon--that very comfortable cocoon that he or she is trying to sleep in. -- Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
Registration at 6:30 pm, program begins at 7 pm.
In Shambhala Training Level II: Birth of the Warrior, we learn to recognize habitual patterns and discover fearlessness. Having experienced a taste of basic goodness, we want to go forward. Meditation practice allows us to observe how we create a cocoon of habits to mask our fear. We begin to appreciate that there is no fundamental obstacle to experiencing basic goodness and discovering fearlessness.

Halfpipe Helper
University of Colorado at Boulder, 2002 - $11,000
This E-Team developed the Halfpipe Helper, an innovative tool for halfpipe maintenance. The Halfpipe Helper is a specialized tool to shape and maintain snow sport terrains, like snowboard parks. Weighing only four and a half pounds, the tool can cut, shave, rake, shovel, evenly distribute and smooth all snow surfaces. The tool effectively combines the function of a shovel and an asphalt rake. It has an adjustable, locking head that pivots through a wide range of motion, and is moved into place with a sliding collar mechanism, similar to a self-wringing mop.

Spa Arrival: ELLE Spa
Relax in style at ELLE Spa, a partnership between the Eden Roc and ELLE.
June 20, 2011
ELLE Spa
Spa goers have a new pampering oasis thanks to the Eden Roc Renaissance Miami Beach hotel and ELLE magazine. The new 22,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style ELLE Spa is a can't-miss, complete with treatment rooms, a hair salon, a gym and a boutique. "The ELLE team had been talking about doing a spa for awhile," says Emily Dougherty, ELLE beauty and fitness director. "We love the Eden Roc. We love their philosophy. They're not cookie-cutter, and it's such a Miami landmark." Dougherty reports that an ELLE editor curated every element of the spa. "We took all the feedback from our editors' and contributors' spa experiences around the world: What they liked and didn't like in a spa and what made them feel relaxed," she says. High-coved ceilings, white-washed walls, natural stone, fountains, wood tables, dangling epiphytes and an oversize statue of a unicorn make up the décor and design. Treatments range from typical Swedish massages to services inspired by the glossy's editorial columns such as "Doctor's Orders" and "Forever 25." Don't miss the orange and coral Eden & Roc nail polishes ($9 each), which were created by Essie and are exclusive to the spa. "The editors are obsessed with nail colors and we thought, wouldn't it be cool to have our own," said Dougherty. "The colors we chose are office friendly and you can wear them to the beach." We feel more relaxed already. ELLE Spa, 4525 Collins Ave.; 305-674-5585

Questions With: Giuliana Rancic
We chat with Giuliana Rancic, who showed her support for Breakfast with Santa of Florida as host of Catwalk for Charity.
June 17, 2011
Giuliana Rancic and friends
E! News personality and Fashion Police staff member Giuliana Rancic hosted the first annual Catwalk for Charity last Sunday at The JW Marriott on Brickell Avenue. Proceeds from the fundraiser benefited the nonprofit Breakfast with Santa of Florida, which is dedicated to improving the lives of underprivileged children in Miami's Little Haiti and Haiti itself. We caught up with Rancic backstage about the event, her fashion sense and why she's thinking of buying a home in the Magic City.
Why did you decide to co-host Catwalk for Charity?
GIULIANA RANCIC: About a week or so after the 2010 earthquake. My husband really inspired me. Having no connections to Haiti, he got people together—like a guy with an airplane, a guy who worked at Sara Lee who could donate a lot of food—and they went to Haiti to help. He really proved to me that a lot people don't know how they can help. Granted not everyone has a friend with an airplane, but everyone can play a role. Now I really do try to go out of my way to help.
You're one of the best-dressed journalists on TV. Have you always been into fashion?
GR: Yes. As a little girl I'd always wear things to school that the other kids would make fun of me for wearing. I remember I was the first kid to get sparkly Superga shoes. I got them in pink and baby blue and people thought I was crazy, but then the next year everybody started wearing them. I love fashion. I'm working on my own fashion line right now. I think my father definitely inspired me. He's been an Italian tailor since he was 10 years old and he's 70 now. So I think I got it from him.
Who are your favorite designers?
GR: There are so many. I wore Zac Posen recently and I think his stuff is beautiful. I think Carolina Herrera is so gorgeous, and Oscar de la Renta is breathtaking. As far as newer designers, I really love Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's The Row and Elizabeth and James.
What do you love about Miami?
GR: I feel like I'm in another country. I love the weather and I love heat. What I love more than anything is that at 1 o'clock in the morning the streets are full and there's energy and people just want to have fun. In Miami, people work to live and in the rest of this country people live to work. My husband and I were even thinking of getting a second home here.
A Perfect Summer Outfit
Look effortlessly chic in a piece by Poupette St-Barth.

Cleo Combi shorts romper ($230)
St. Barths and Miami have plenty in common, including postcard-worthy beaches, balmy tropical weather and a need for clothing that works as well on the sand as it does at cocktail hour. Poupette St-Barth opened an outpost in Coral Gables late last year, providing locals with pieces that are light, a bit whimsical and perfect for humid summers. Wear the look here (the romper is available in seven color combinations) at the pool or on a beach day.

The Better to SEE You With
SEE Eyewear pops up in South Miami.
June 13, 2011
SEE Eyewear is the latest boutique to pop up in South Miami. After 10 years on Lincoln Road, owners Richard and Shelley Golden have expanded with a second outpost that sits on busy Sunset Drive. Richard, a Michigan native and son of an optometrist, says his store's slogan is "hip without the rip." "We don't carry any brands—SEE is our brand," he explains. "We sell glasses between $200 to $350 that are like designer glasses except you're not paying $800 for them." When it comes to choosing the best frames for your face, he says there are rules. "You actually wear the opposite of what the shape of your face is, but you can always break the rules," he says. "If it looks good on you, we tell people to run with it."

Gaga Over the CFDA Awards
Lady Gaga took center stage at the CFDA Awards in New York.
June 08, 2011
FROM LEFT: Lady Gaga; Lucy Liu
The CFDA Awards creates mini mutual admiration societies between a star and his or her designer date. It all made for one sexy soiree on Monday. Patrik Ervell dressed Kirsten Dunst. She had on the sweetest girly tuxedo and wore a topknot. "He came to my house," Dunst told Dispatches. She looked seriously cute.
Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa escorted Kerry Washington. "This was the very first dress I tried on this morning," said Washington, who wore a feathery white Calvin Klein gown beautifully. Michael Kors had two beauties, Miranda Kerr and Ashley Greene of Twilight, on his arm. "I love his resort collection, because it's inspired by Australia," explained Aussie supermodel Kerr, in a stretchy black dress with cutouts. "It's kind of like wearing a swimsuit and a towel. It's great."
"I like a glamorous girl," added Kors. "Our resort collection was inspired by my holiday in Australia. So we brought one fabulous Aussie girl who is a Bondi babe, and Ashley is a sporty, sexy girl. It's the double whammy."
Special treat: Lucy Liu smooched this reporter. She wore a dress with a broad black skirt. "This was the most fabulous option," said Liu, standing beside her designer Monique Lhuillier. "I could do the splits in it."
Not so much for Lady Gaga's 10-inch heels, tights and bustier. "We had this outfit made. I had this drawing, and I sent it to everyone," she explained onstage. "There was a turban… and it came back and it was lime green. And Nicola [Formichetti, of V magazine] and I went, 'H'huh!' So we had about 15 hours to dip it in dye and latex. As usual, designers send me things, and when they see them end up in videos and red carpets, they look nothing like they did. But when I say, 'Oh, no, what's Miuccia going to say?, she says, 'It was so alive!'"
"She's an extraordinary, talented young woman who pushes the boundaries," Diane von Furstenberg said of Gaga. "And that's what we wanted." (Jessica Alba, wearing DVF, showed a baby bump at her empire waist.)
Backstage after winning, Prabal Gurung said that there was tension in his row when he was waiting for the Swarovski Womenswear award. "It was me, my date, the Olsen twins—up for the same award—and Joseph Altuzarra, also a contender," he said. "I was thinking, what should I say?"
And when he heard his name? "I was all choked up," said Gurung. "It's really emotional. I acknowledged the Olsens. They've always been sweet, friendly… I was so nervous."

Desperation — over a frightening diagnosis or over treatment that no longer works — is what usually prompts a patient to search for a clinical trial. But finding the right one can be as difficult and stressful as learning a new language in old age.
"In an ideal world, all that should be necessary is for a patient to contact a cancer center and ask for whatever clinical trial is going on for that particular cancer," says Dr. Michael Samuels, a radiation oncologist and medical director of the University of Miami/ Sylvester Clinical Research Services. "Staff would supply information and there would be a match."
But the world of complex medical research is far from ideal, especially for the layman. Very few patients or family members know how to find a study that may provide an alternative to traditional care. In fact, the Center for Information and Study on Clinical Research Participation, a Boston-based non profit dedicated to educating the public about the importance of clinical research, estimates that only 4 percent of people work through the maze of ongoing trials. On the other end, clinical trials are sometimes delayed because of researchers' inability to find enough participants.
Mark Kohl, a Tavernier attorney, is participating in a clinical trial at UM's Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center comparing the side effects of two different chemotherapy drugs on throat cancer patients. His oncologist there told him about an associate's study.
"I wouldn't have thought to do it otherwise," Kohl, 57, says. "I feel fortunate that my doctor mentioned it to me."
Now, two men — one a forensic toxicologist, the other a two-time cancer survivor — have started a website they hope will be the eHarmony of the clinical research world. The 8-month-old CureLauncher.com matches Americans who are diagnosed with chronic diseases to the more than 5,000 clinical trials looking for patients, at no cost to the patient. The website makes its money by charging clinical trial sites a fee, usually paid out of the researchers' media advertising budget.
CureLauncher estimates that there are more than 880 clinical trials in the Miami area and about 2,320 in Florida alone. Though CureLauncher has not yet referred a patient to Samuels' staff, the UM doctor says, "The site is on to something" by addressing the wide gap between researcher and participant.
"The idea," says Steve Goldner, CureLauncher Chairman and CEO, "is to help people figure out the clinical trials they qualify for and also to bring cures to the market faster."
There are other websites that try to bring patient and researchers together, including researchmatch.org and centerwatch.com. And UM has a search tool on its UHealth website, http://uhealthsystem.com/clinical-trials, as does the federal government, clinicaltrials.gov.
But CureLauncher tries to go a step further by actually doing the legwork for the patient. The site employs what they call "relationship managers" who fill out a questionnaire with the patient. Once that information is used to narrow down the potential clinical sites, CureLauncher makes the appointment, whether it's for a phone or an in-person interview. If the initial match doesn't work out, CureLauncher will continue looking for another match for the participant.
Goldner, a toxicologist who has conducted his own clinical trials and worked in the medical field for about 30 years, says the site "empowers patients. We give them choices in common, everyday language they can understand."
CureLauncher President David Fuehrer says his family's medical history is proof that such a service is needed. A two-time testicular cancer survivor, he lost his father to bladder cancer a year ago, three weeks after the attending physician suggested the elder Fuehrer might benefit from a clinical trial. By that time, however, it was too late for him to find or participate in a research study.
A couple of months later, Fuehrer sat in a boardroom where Goldner was making a pitch for financial backing. Within a month Fuehrer, who has managed new products at Pfizer, General Electric and Dow Solar, had quit his job and joined Goldner.
"It was too unbelievable for me that so soon after what happened to my father, he came in to talk about this," Fuehrer recalls. "No one should lose a father, a son, a spouse without the opportunity of benefiting from a clinical trial."
Many of the patients who have enrolled with CureLauncher suffer from some form of cancer, mostly breast, prostrate or leukemia. But Goldner notes that the site also has gotten requests for trial information on diabetes, psoriasis and congestive heart disease.
With tens of millions of Americans dealing with chronic diseases, clinical trials are an essential part of the way science discovers cures and safe treatments. Usually conducted at hospitals, medical schools and other research facilities, these trials tend to be good for participants, too. Research has shown that clinical trial patients, even those who receive a placebo, tend to do better than others going the traditional route for the same condition. This could be because of the constant monitoring by the clinical trial team, researchers speculate.
Kohl, the Tavernier attorney, feels he is getting extra attention as a trial participant. Being part of an experiment has also saved him money because he didn't pay for the cost of chemotherapy drugs. And there was an added benefit, a contribution to science: "I feel my experience could assist other people who might go through the same thing."
UM's Samuels says the South Florida area is "well served" by research studies because of both its universities and medical facilities. However, patients may not know about these opportunities.
"A majority of physicians in the community don't tell patients about the possibility of a trial," he adds. "In addition, it's a complicated system and the information out there is for medical health professionals, not for patients."
Even when a patient finds an open clinical trial, she might not meet the pre-requisites for the study. In such cases, researchers don't necessarily refer a patient to other trials. CureLauncher, Samuels says, tries to address such issues.
"I'm in favor of any method of getting more patients enrolled in clinical trials," he adds. "I think doing so benefits current patients, future patients and the process of scientific discovery. CureLauncher's program has the potential to bring additional patients into the clinical trial process and that would be very positive."

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Three people are out of their home after an overnight fire destroyed a duplex in the 500 block of White St. near Nevada St. in east Toledo.
Firefighters say a Jeff Goucher and his wife were asleep on the bottom floor of the duplex when the awoke to the smell of the smoke. They were able to safely exit the building.
"If we hadn't woken up, we'd have probably suffocated," said Goucher. "It even singed my hair and eyebrows."
The duplex is reportedly completely destroyed. The Gouchers lost everything, but they were able to walk away with minor injuries.
"It was like it hit me in the face - the heat, the smoke. I could hardly breathe," Goucher said. "I went to the door and opened it and I yelled for her. She didn't answer right away and I turned around to walk back in to make sure she got out."
Fire officials say the fire started in the front corner of the home, and it could have easily turned fatal. The smoke alarm in the house didn't have batteries.
"Smoke alarms can save a life. It's that simple," said TFD Lt. Matthew Hertzfeld. "It's unfortunate, this week we've had a few fires that were occupied residences that did not have smoke alarms, or it was found that the batteries in the smoke alarms were exhausted."
Smoke alarms are available for free at any fire station in Toledo.
The Gouchers are staying with their daughter while they try to pick up the pieces. A third person living in the other part of the duplex was not home at the time of the fire.
Fire officials say the cause of the fire appears to be accidental but they will continue with their investigation.

"My first thought was they need to leave, you know. I don't care how close it is now or what direction it's going. I just wanted them out of there and I wanted to know they were safe."
Jackie Cech hasn't slept much since Tuesday.
That's when she got a call from her sister, who lives near Colorado Springs with her husband and four daughters.
She said she could see thick clouds of smoke.
By Wednesday, day two of the wild fire, they chose to evacuate.
They're now staying at a hotel near Colorado Springs, anxiously waiting for good news.
Jackie's brother–in–law, Cory is a small business owner who began his career in Lincoln.
He says although he and family are safe, tensions are high.
"The stress here in Colorado Springs, you can feel that anxiety. There's over 41,000 people evacuated, hotels are full," he says.
The latest containment report was at 5 percent, but Cory hopes to see that get to around 30, and head home.
"This is by far the worst fire, by what I'm hearing, in Colorado history. So a lot of stress, a lot of people wondering, glued to their TVs, waiting for containment reports."
Jackie and her family planned a vacation to Colorado at the end of July. They're still planning on making the trip, even if it's just to help.
"I know that they're safe now and that makes me feel a lot better. Just praying that their home stays safe too because I can't imagine starting all over. But you know we've been praying for it and God's brought us through worse so I'm sure they'll be able to get through it."
