A recent rash of drowning deaths show that knowing how to react can help save a life, and FOX 9 News spoke with Tim Smalley, a boat and water safety specialist with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, about common risks and response tips.
In the last four days, three people have drowned -- and one person is missing after falling off a boat, but it's expected that he too is dead. On Monday, a 16-year-old girl died at a hospital after spending about 40 minutes under water on Sunday.
This sudden increase in water emergencies has many people asking if the high water is to blame or if this is something responders see every year as summer approaches.
Smalley shared a few steps people should to take to make sure their trip to the lake is a safe one -- and he also talked about the biggest mistake people make.

research, personal accomplishments / features, and opportunities for
engagement with the Arthritis Foundation, Northeast Region.
May 2013
Springtime is Arthritis Foundation Walk time
and this May, and June Walks are getting people
moving and supporting the Arthritis Foundation.
CLICK HERE to find the Walk near you.
Who are Afrthritis Foundation Walkers? Walk participants are advocates.
- Walking makes a statement that ignoring arthritis is unacceptable.
Walkers and Team Captains are program participants.
- Program participants have learned first-hand that moving is the best medicine for arthritis.
People at the Walks are individuals and families who are directly affected by arthritis.
- 25,000 people nation-wide have told us that they support the Walk because they have arthritis.
Thanks to you, the Walk is more than just a walk. The Walk supports mission growth.
Supporting research is at the core of the Arthritis Foundation's mission. Our ongoing research addresses four critichttp://www.arthritis.org/cms/js/mfm.php?mode=inpage&office_dir=nyk#al areas: rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, arthritis in children, and funding the best science. Learn more about Arthritris Foundation research by CLICKING HERE.
Walks honor the physicians in our communities.
Meet Frank Congiusta, MD, Medical Honoree for the Walk being held in Colonie on June 1. (CLICK HEREfor a direct link to this Walk) and Chair of the Board of Directors for the Arthritis Foundation in Northeastern New York which is based in Albany. Dr. Congiusta is an orthopedic surgeon in practice with OrthoNY which has offices in several communities in the Albany area. Dr. Congiusta graduated from medical school in 2000, completed his residency in orthopedics, and then a fellowship in total joint replacements, which has become his specialty. Playing football in college spurred his interest in orthopedics.
Arthritis and patients
Dr. Congiusta comments on how arthritis affects his patients: "People with arthritis have difficulty doing even the simplest activities that someone else will take for granted. For example, walking a block or two, going up one or two steps, or getting out of chairs. Often, after joint replacement surgery, patients tell me they are grateful because replacing a badly affected joint has made such a dramatic difference in their lives."
Taking care of your hips and knees
Expert advice from Dr. Congiusta: "The obesity epidemic means that many individuals carry extra weight, which puts greater stress on hip and knee joints. Keep your weight down, especially if you have arthritis. To keep in shape, focus on low impact exercise, such as swimming, walking, using the elliptical, and bicycle riding."
About his affiliation with the Arthritis Foundation
Dr. Congiusta has been a member of the Board of Directors for the Arthritis Foundation in Northeast New York since 2007. "There is a natural fit for me with the Arthritis Foundation. Most of my patients suffer from arthritis so it is rewarding to work to help find new ways to treat the disease. As a medical honoree I hope to raise awareness of arthritis, bring awareness of the Arthritis Foundation to my patients, and raise money to fund better treatments and find a cure for the disease."
Dr. Congiusta wants you to get active
"Support the Arthritis Foundation – get involved with the Walks to raise awareness and treat the disease."
In Closing, A Personal View of Why We Walk:
A Heartfelt Video
Please view this video and meet Caitlyn. She is two and one-half years old and has systemic juvenile arthritis, an especially difficult form of JA. Her mom, Michele, has created a video to help us learn how arthritis affects children and Caitlyn in particular. The video is touching, personal, and nicely done. CLICK HERE for the video, and you will understand in your heart why we walk, and why we walk for children like Caitlyn.

Advocacy Summit 2013: A Success
"Ignoring arthritis is unacceptable!"

Among those attending were fifty advocates and volunteers from the Northeast Region.
The Summit is a powerful event in which everyone benefits.

- The children and teens attending the Summit experience advocacy in action, learning skills they will use on their own behalf and for others.
- Volunteers and Arthritis Foundation staff become energized by the experience as they speak with legislators and their aides.

ARCADIA, Calif. (April 11, 2010) – High-flying 4-year-old filly Unzip Me sped to her fourth straight victory Sunday while unseating Santa Anita's reigning "Queen of the Hill," defending champion Gotta Have Her, in the 36th running of the Grade III, $100,000 Las Cienegas Handicap for fillies and mares at 6 ½ furlongs over the track's hillside turf course.
The second choice at 7-2 in a field of seven with Joe Talamo at the controls, Unzip Me took command soon after the start. She led throughout before crossing the wire 1 ¼ lengths ahead of Czechers with even-money favorite Gotta Have Her another three-quarters of a length back in third. The winning time was 1:12.80.
It was the third straight win over the course for the chestnut filly trained by Marty Jones and her fourth in a row in a turf sprint after beginning her career with a modest 2-for-7 showing.
Gotta Have Her, meanwhile, had rung up four straight victories over Santa Anita's unique downhill layout before a much troubled trip against males when second in the $909,000 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint likely cost her a fifth victory.
In her first start since the Nov. 7 Breeders' Cup at Santa Anita, Gotta Have Her broke a bit awkwardly under Tyler Baze, but appeared to recover quickly while settling into fifth place.
Unzip Me, meantime, had established a clear lead while racing through fractions of 22.56, 45.24 and 1:06.83. She lost a bit of momentum when hopping slightly as the field crossed the main track. She proceeded to open up three lengths on her rivals before a bobble in deep stretch, but Unzip Me still won with authority under a vigorous hand ride.
"She's relaxing so much better now," said Talamo. "She had her ears straight up the entire race today, nice and relaxed." The 20-year-old rider said he knew Czechers was close "because we were going so slow." Talamo continued, "So around the turn, I wanted to open up just a little to get some breathing room. I threw her a few crosses through the lane just to keep her focused. Her last few races have really been remarkable."
Jenine Sahadi, who trains Gotta Have Her, thought her mare was compromised by the awkward start.
"We were always pretty high on her," said Jones, a co-owner who conditions Unzip Me for partners Harris Farms, Per Antonsen and Donald Valpredo. "As soon as she got on the grass, even when we worked her on grass, it was like, 'Whoa, this filly's different on grass.'
"I was real concerned about running her back (since winning the Irish O'Brien Stakes over the course by a head on March 20). It was kind of a last-minute decision because that last race was real hard on her.
"But the last few days before entries (were taken for the Las Cienegas), she just started acting like herself and going like herself again, so I decided we should go for it again. She just loves running down that hill so much, I said we better try and take advantage of this while we can."
The winner, who carried 118 pounds, paid $9.60, $5.20 and $3. Czechers, ridden by Rafael Bejarano, returned $5.80 and $3.20. Gotta Have Her, the 123-pound high weight, paid $2.10 to show.
The winning purse of $60,000 inflated the career earnings of the California-bred daughter of City Zip to $279,700 from an overall record of 6-2-1 in 11 starts. She was bred by John Harris and Donald Valpredo. For the 38-year-old Jones, Unzip Me was the sixth stakes winner he had saddled at the meet.
After dark days on Monday and Tuesday, Santa Anita commences the final week of its winter/spring meeting on Wednesday with an eight-race card that begins at 1 p.m.

US armed forces perform "Call Me Maybe"
Our troops in Afghanistan pay tribute to the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders parody of "Call Me Maybe."
In the video, the soldiers dress in nothing but a tight pair of shorts for most of the time, and passionately perform the exact same choreography the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders did in their video.
The two videos are placed next to each other and play at the same time so the viewer can compare the two.

Mike Carter - Hickory Rescue Squad
Dear Hickory Rescue Members and Officers,
As most of you may know, I have been permanently refused the opportunity to have a fair vote from the membership of Hickory Rescue to re-join the squad as well as banned from the property of the squad. This was a decision that was brought up by a portion of the board members that have a personal agenda with me, not the entire board.
During a time where volunteers as hard to come by, I ask that you be willing to support me in my endeavor to have the board of HRS reevaluate the decision to forbid me the chance for a fair vote. I feel that I would be an asset to Hickory Rescue as I have over 25 years of experience in rescue and emergency services, am a paramedic with Catawba County, and have an array of rescue classes including extrication and search and rescue.
I ask that you sign this petition to support me in gaining the opportunity to have a fair vote from the membership to re-join the squad, despite the boards attempt to ban me from future votes. Hickory Rescue used to be a place where everyone was welcome, everyone felt at home, and everyone felt like part of the family. I hope to see the squad return to that state again one day.

XXVII,Guess you never went to a Steelers game at the Sombrerro.Except for the Giants and Packers, some the worst fans ever at our stadiums.
philly fans are the worst. I have no respect at all for them and revel in their misery when it happens.The Ronde Barber INT in the NFC title game was the single greatest moment in Buccaneer history and the look on the faces, the look of the stupid, drunken, ignorant philly fans' collective face was a pleasure to behold.Beating them again at home in front of those who spent money to travel where they are not wanted will be yet another pleasure for this Buc fan.
I bet the security is beefed up.Philly does have some obnoxious fans.
I'm glad they could all join us today in watching the 2nd longest FG in NFL History. Now get back on your plane and get the hell out of our city!!!!!!!
Philly is a great city, it's a shame that some bad apples can create such a bad reputation. The stuff said to JJ, I would have beat them down. I was raised 20 minutes outside of Philly, and you do not say sh*t like that. Ever. Disrespectful sonsabitc*es, pisses me off just reading that. Joe Jurevicious is the f*cking man!

FORT MYERS, Fla. – FGCU's Patrick Williams secured the first Atlantic Sun Men's Golfer of the Month award in program history after claiming the top individual honor at the Stetson/CFSC Invitational, the conference office announced on Wednesday.

Following a successful fall campaign that included team victories at the Mission Inn Intercollegiate and FGCU Men's Invitational, in addition the Stetson/CFSC Invitational, the Eagles head to Houston to open the spring season at the Rice Intercollegiate Tournament on February 14.
Williams participated in four tournaments during the 2009 fall season:

Sophomores- the real winners of valley cup
To Whom It May Concern, It has come to my attention that the Class of 2010 has won Valley cup this year and I am taken aback as to how this has happened. While looking back at this whole week and the points we've gained there is just no way that the Class of 2012 could not have won. In fact just one Sophomore brought in over 500 cans...please tell me how this adds up? We came into the pep rally in first place and the seniors did not win one event, I just can't seem to grasp the concept of how we could not have won. I would like a recount immediately, and hopefully the real winners will be recognized. Thank you, The Class of 2012

Hello all. I have looked at this site regularly and now have a problem of my own.
I was mowing with my 154 yesterday and noticed that the cutting power was getting weaker than it already was and it started to jump out of first gear. I stopped to let the tractor roll back down a little to make a turn and when i released the clutch ( I was in second gear) it was as if the trans was locked up. I messed around trying to get it in another gear which is not easy and finally got it in reverse. It will move fine in reverse but when i can get it in a forward gear the clutch will not turn and it would kill the motor if i would let it. It was my grandpas old cub and it always would grind getting it in gear which he said was normal. Where should i begin with this thing? I sure hope i didn't mess it up too bad. All help is greatly appreciated.

White House photo/Pete Souza
Along the way, White House official photographer Pete Souza has been there to document Obama's every move. Souza was the White House's official photographer from 1983-89 during Ronald Reagan's second term in office. It was during his subsequent time as a Chicago Tribune photographer that he documented the rise of then-Sen. Obama and detailed his accounts in a book published in 2008.
Souza has published a selection of his photos on the White House's official Flickr account since midway through Obama's first year in office. Combining these and a few other memorable moments documented by other photographers, we've compiled the 100 most iconic photos from Obama's first term as he prepares for his second inauguration Monday.
(Note: For some of the photos, Souza has added his thoughts or provided some additional background, which we've put below the photos.)

Rated 3.7 out of 5�by 27 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by the bean Perfect! The best wraps I'v had in over thirty years of boxing. July 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by QuickGloves Better than 108's The material is softer and has little bit of give and stretch to it compared to the 108" Everlast wraps. This allows you to wrap your hands a little tighter without fear of cutting off your circulation. These are more breathable too. The stitching is not great, as with other Everlast wraps I'd recommend reinforcing it, at least before putting alot of training hours into them. The extra length lets you wrap how you should to protect your knuckles, keep your fingers together and get some solid wrist support. Definitely recommend these to anyone who's serious about boxing/MMA etc. once you learn good technique and start consistently throwing with some power. I bought these as a gift but have the same pair in a different color for personal use. BE CAREFUL! the Velcro at the end will get caught in the cloth and can do some damage if it gets really tangled. July 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by maxbr7t Great wraps probably my favorite wrist wraps, theyre very soft on your hands and dont cause chaffing on the knuckles, have been using these in boxing for a couple years June 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Cashindabag Great wraps The everlast 180 hand wraps are great, they make my hands feel great when am working out June 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by SteeBear Handwraps I'm new to boxing, so when I started hitting the heavy bag I wanted to have some extra wrist support and some knuckle protection. These wraps were a good buy. They stretch, and are somewhat breathable in the gloves. But don't get me wrong, wraps will never protect your hands from bad form, just be aware of that. I think they're a good buy. April 10, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by Muay thai n' BJJ First time buyer. As my first handwrap ever bought I didnt know what to expect. However I was still let down. The velcro started coming off the very first time I took them off. They are comfortable, just very, very poorly made. Definitly not worth ten dollars, will be making my own. March 11, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by HC Falling appart after a month The stitching that holds the Velcro on is coming off of the fabric. In 15 years of boxing, I have never had good luck with "Never"last products, and this is another example. I bought these in a pinch, otherwise I would have steered clear of any more of their products. They are for the weekend warrior athletes and not for those who are serious about putting their equipment to the test, and they never stand behind their product. Luckily, Dicks does and replaces them as needed which is why I keep coming back! January 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by KravLady Significantly better than the 108" I have small hands so I assumed the 108" wraps would be enough. However, I bought the longer ones as well, just in case, and found them to be much higher quality. It takes longer to wrap and the wraps look a bit bulkier, but the fabric is better, more comfortable, and the velcro stays attached longer. I use these for training Krav Maga, with and without gloves. June 30, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Dsteele325 They seem nice I don't know much about boxing, just heavy bag training and needed wraps. These seem fine to me! June 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Bull This product has great features. I like these wraps very much. Your hands do not get hot in them when they are in use. They have different colors. The length is perfect for maximum hand protection whether your using gloves or not. Easy to wash. June 4, 2013

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Northwest Ohio organizations are joining together to feed hungry pets by collecting quality pet food during the month of November.
Mobile Meals of Toledo serves hundreds of people across the glass city but now the organization looking for donations so they can feed their clients' pets.
It was started by meals on wheels. And what they found was a lot of their senior clients were feeding their food to their pets rather than pet food," said Carolyn Fox of Mobile Meals of Toledo.
Fox says at least 10 percent of the organization's clients have pets
"Clients need to be eating the food we give them and their pets need to be eating pet food. And when they're sharing their food they're not getting the proper nutrition," said Fox.
Graber's Animal Hospital decided to join the campaign because of the potential health issues on both ends.
"These are their only companions a lot of times and we think it's very important that we take care of those pets when we can," said Amy Banks with the animal hospital.
Graber's is hoping to reach a goal of 3,600 pounds of food.
For more information, or to donate, visit the Gerber's Animal Hospital Facebook page.

PEORIA, Ill. -- One day after announcing his official bid for Illinois Governor, State Senator Kirk Dillard makes his way to central Illinois.
The Hinsdale, Illinois native stopped in Peoria Tuesday on his campaign tour.
If elected as Governor, the Republican Senator says he would force lawmakers to balance the budget each year or withhold their salaries, cease campaign fundraising for at least the first two and a half years of his term, and create an "Office of the Repealer" to cut unnecessary government positions, laws, and taxes.
Dillard backs his promises by referring to his experience as Chief of Staff to former Governor Jim Edgar.
"The bottom line is, I'm proven. I'm tested," said Dillard. "I know how to make the state live within its means. I'm the one guy that has the right vision for job creation, and I've lived and worked in all parts of Illinois, and I think we need a Governor for all of Illinois, not just Chicago."
This is Senator Kirk Dillard's second shot at running for Governor.
He lost to Bloomington State Senator Bill Brady in the 2010 Republican Primary by less than 200 votes, who then lost to Pat Quinn in the general election.
Brady is running for Governor again, along with Republicans Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford and Chicago businessman Bruce Rauner.
"As the other candidates go, I am the one with the strongest ties to the Peoria area, to western Illinois, and I know where this area is," said Dillard. "I'm a suburbanite, and my wife and I have very, very strong downstate roots, and that's the winning template for a republican candidate for governor."
Kirk Dillard is a graduate of Western Illinois University.

A travel industry executive says Tucson may not be hurt much from the planned merger of US Airways and American Airlines.
However, AAA Arizona Travel Director Amy Moreno says that hinges on the Tucson market supporting existing flights.
According to the Arizona Daily Star, Moreno says the biggest potential for service cutbacks would be in Phoenix or other cities where they could be overlaps between the airlines' route systems.

AUBURN — An Androscoggin County Jail inmate scaled a razor-wire-topped fence, scampered across a roof and fell to the ground outside the jail in an attempt to escape at about 9:30 a.m. Friday morning.
Antonio Abreau, a 40-year-old convicted sex offender, fell to the county building's parking lot on Turner Street and was taken away by ambulance minutes later.
According to Sheriff Guy Desjardins, the man was seriously injured by the razor wire along the top of the chain-link fencing. Witness said it appeared Abreau also struck his head in the fall.
He was being treated Friday night at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston where he was listed in stable condition.
"Right now, we're conducting an investigation, which is a criminal matter, so we can't discuss it," Jail Administrator John Lebel said.
Abreau is considered a high-risk sex offender.
In 1992, he was convicted of raping a woman in the Washington County town of Perry. In that attack, police said, Abreau broke into the home of a woman in her late 60s and threatened, assaulted and raped her.
He was later caught and served a portion of a 20-year prison sentence.
Abreau was convicted of aggravated assault in 2005 in connection with the stabbing of 23-year-old Michael Lagasse in Lewiston, and sentenced to serve seven years in state prison, with all but two years suspended. He had originally been charged with attempted murder, but that charge was later dismissed.
He has since been released from prison, and is serving the end of three years' probation. According to jail officials, Abreau was being held on a probation violation following his arrest by Sabattus police. He had been at the jail since June 27.
The escape forced the Auburn-Lewiston YMCA, next door on Turner Street, into an immediate lockdown. YMCA employee Laura Langlin of Livermore said she was looking out of a third-floor window when she witnessed the escape attempt.
Inmates were in a courtyard behind the building when Langlin noticed a shadow near the top of the fence.
"I saw him climb up and over the fence, then run across the roof," she said. Other inmates in the yard appeared to be cheering him on as guards responded.
The man was wearing overalls, but he had taken off the top part of the one-piece uniform and lost a shoe as he ran across the roof.
"He started climbing the other fence, the fence on the other side, and I looked away to call the other people here to see what was going on," Langlin said. She looked back just in time to see him fall to the ground, flat on his back.
Desjardins said Abreau was with other inmates in the recreation yard. All inmate recreation has been suspended while jail officials investigate the attempted escape.

Alcoa posted a team score of 591 to win its first-ever state championship by an impressive 17 shots. Notre Dame shot 627 to finish fifth as a team, led by Alexander Riddle's tenth-place finish.
Madison Balthrop finished tenth as an individual to lead Boyd-Buchanan to a sixth-place effort on the girls' side. Meigs County's Kaitlyn Sneed was two shots behind her in 12th, while Signal Mountain's Bethany Burns rounded out the top 15.
CAK's Sophia Schubert blew away the field by eleven shots to win medalist honors. Sullivan South claimed the girls' team title by eight shots over Macon County.

Elsa Schiaparelli
Indeed, Schiaparelli—"Schiap" to friends—stood out among her peers as a true nonconformist, using clothing as a medium to express her unique ideas. In the thirties, her peak creative period, her salon overflowed with the wild, the whimsical, and even the ridiculous. Many of her madcap designs could be pulled off only by a woman of great substance and style: Gold ruffles sprouted from the fingers of chameleon-green suede gloves; a pale-blue satin evening gown—modeled by Madame Crespi in Vogue—had a stiff overskirt of Rhodophane (a transparent, glasslike modern material); a smart black suit jacket had red lips for pockets. Handbags, in the form of music boxes, tinkled tunes like "Rose Marie, I Love You"; others fastened with padlocks. Monkey fur and zippers (newfangled in the thirties) were everywhere.
"She was bigger than life in the way she saw things and expressed things," Schiaparelli's granddaughter, the seventies model Marisa Berenson, told Vogue in 2003. "She was full of ideas. She had tremendous imagination and fantasy about everything, including her own life."[3]
Plenty of well-dressed women did dare to wear Schiap's designs, despite—or, perhaps because of—the looks' inherent wackiness. One devotee, Daisy Fellowes, sported Schiaparelli's jaunty shoe hat, designed with the Surrealist painter Salvador Dalí. Of Millicent Rogers, who wore a clear plastic collar crawling with colored metal bugs, the designer said, "She was never afraid of anything. She could wear anything and she wore everything new."[4] Shortly before marrying her conquered king, Wallis Simpson—the soon-to-be Duchess of Windsor—posed for the Vogue photographer Cecil Beaton in Schiap's lobster-print dress, in hopes of softening her man-eater image. (Simpson may not have been aware that the outré crustacean was considered a red-hot symbol of sexuality by Dalí, who painted it.)
Chez Schiaparelli, the fun never stopped. She pioneered the concept of themed collections—designing around the idea of the Zodiac, say, or Music—as well as the fashion show as performance. For 1938's Circus, she hired acrobats to pump up the cognoscenti. For the opening of her new boutique, the Schiap Shop, in 1935, she had fabric printed with her own press clippings. But even if she hadn't been a whiz at publicity, Schiaparelli would have had no trouble packing them in. In Paris, New York, and Hollywood, she was connected from the elite to the street.
"She goes everywhere, knows everybody, follows all the artistic activities of painting, sculpture, music, and the theatre,"[5] Vogue wrote in 1931. Among her clique were Marlene Dietrich, Christian Bérard, Man Ray, and Jean Cocteau. Even the elusive screen diva Greta Garbo was seen at one of Schiap's shindigs, sipping a pink vodka cocktail. Inspired by Daisy Fellowes's whopping 17.27-carat, rose-colored Cartier diamond, Schiaparelli introduced a bright magenta color she called Shocking pink. She is credited with bringing color to the couture, jazzing up the subdued browns, blacks, navys, and grays of the Depression years with hues like stratosphere-purple and danger-red.
"Elsa Schiaparelli was a headline attraction in the international glitter-glamour freak show of the late twenties and pre-war thirties,"[6] Leo Lerman wrote in 1954, on the publication of Schiaparelli's autobiography Shocking Life.
But she was more than just an attention-grabber, and her innovations are legion—from the wrap dress to the dinner suit. Marc Jacobs is just one of the many designers to have drawn inspiration from her in recent years: His love of trompe l'oeil can be traced to the faux-bow sweater that kick-started Schiaparelli's career and brought her quirky style to the masses.
She raised high the flag of fearless individuality—and rule-breakers have continued to wave that standard through the sixties, the seventies, and beyond. So perhaps it was only a matter of time before the house that Schiap built would swing open its doors once again for the contemporary consumer. After buying the sarcophagal remains of the long-dormant firm in 2006, the Italian businessman Diego Della Valle broadcast his plans to resurrect it from the dead. Finally, in 2013—after rampant press speculation—the industry heavyweight finally made the announcement everyone had been waiting for: It would be the half-Italian, half-Swedish Marco Zanini (formerly of another grand old Parisian maison, Rochas) who would spearhead the revival.No one has ever attempted to shoulder the mantle worn by this outrageous woman, who was one of fashion's great iconoclasts. Zanini, who is known for his offbeat and thoughtful takes on modern femininity, will be asked to lead a new generation forward as they take up the challenge shouted from the rooftops by his illustrious predecessor: "Dare to be different." [7]
Elsa Luisa Maria Schiaparelli born to Celestino Schiaparelli and his wife, Maria-Luisa, in the historic Palazzo Corsini, Rome. Her father, an orientalist scholar, is director of the Lincei Library and a friend of King Victor Emmanuel. Elsa has an older sister. Her uncle, Giovanni Schiaparelli, is an astronomer who published maps of "canals" supposedly discovered on Mars. He will be a strong influence on his young niece, spending long hours with her looking through the telescope at the stars.
While she is on a trip to Tunisia with her father, a prominent local proposes marriage to young Elsa, with a traditional fantasia display of horsemanship.
Writes a book of passionate poems, Arethusa, that shocks and scandalizes the family. After its publication, the precocious teen is sent to a strict convent school, and only released after a hunger strike.
En route to a nanny job in London, stops in Paris for her first ball.
Attends a lecture given by Count Wilhelm de Wendt de Kerlor, a good-looking but penniless Polish theosophist. Marries him against her parents' wishes. (Returning home from the registry office, Schiaparelli finds seven mirrors have cracked, she later says.) They live on her small dowry in Nice, France, where he has family.
Moves to New York. On the boat over, the count and countess befriend Gabrielle Picabia, wife of Dadaist painter Francis Picabia; the couple introduces them to their Greenwich Village circle of artists, including Marcel Duchamp and Alfred Stieglitz.
Gives birth to Maria Luisa Yvonne Radha, nicknamed Gogo. The couple are by now separated, the count having had an affair with dancer Isadora Duncan. Elsa lives in the Village and takes odd jobs to support her child. Meets Man Ray, who snaps her portrait.

You can't even believe that they were made in that period of time, they are still so incredibly modern."[10] May: Schiaparelli is celebrated at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute exhibit "Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations."

Who we are
Here at Leeds Metropolitan we are a warm, welcoming and professional university.
One of our major assets is our people: our staff and students make us unique and we work with partners and colleagues to achieve fantastic things together. Being located in the biggest financial district outside of London makes us a popular university for students and graduates alike. We want our students, staff, partners, and friends to enjoy being part of the Leeds Met family.
Our regional commitment
We are committed to making a difference in the region and beyond and the range of activities we undertake to encourage and improve attainment among under-privileged young people demonstrates this. We run a range of aspiration-raising activities aimed at groups who will most benefit from a friendly introduction to higher education. From our kids @ uni programme, to UJIMA which aims to introduce African and African Caribbean boys in Year 10 to university, we are committed to helping young people achieve.
