Pvt. Chelsea Manning given 2013 Sean MacBride Peace Award
The International Peace Bureau honored Pvt. Chelsea Manning (then-Pfc. Bradley Manning) with the 2013 Sean MacBride Peace Award, explaining that "among the very highest moral duties of a citizen is to make known war crimes and crimes against humanity….When Manning revealed to the world the crimes being committed by the U.S. military he did so as an act of obedience to this high moral duty."
Retired U.S. Army Col. Ann Wright, who resigned in protest of the Iraq War, accepted the award on Manning's behalf, and has mailed the medal to Manning's lawyer, David Coombs, who will show it to her at Ft. Leavenworth. Col. Wright's acceptance remarks are below.
By Ann Wright, Private Manning Support Network. September 19, 2013.
On behalf of US Army Private Chelsea Manning (previously known as Bradley Manning), I want to thank the International Peace Bureau for its award of the Sean MacBride Peace Award to Private Manning. When Chelsea was told by her lawyer that IPB had selected her as the recipient of this year's award, she was overwhelmed that such an organization would recognize her actions as actions for peace. She knows the history of the MacBride Peace Award, in honor of Sean MacBride, a Nobel Peace Prize recipient, founding member of Amnesty International and a tireless advocate for peaceful resolution of conflict. Private Manning recognizes the works of previous awardees and is deeply honored to be included in their ranks.
As you know, Private Manning is not here to receive the award in person as she is incarcerated in the US military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas after she was sentenced on August 21, 2013 to 35 years in prison for giving over 800.000 pages of government documents known as the Iraq, Afghanistan, Guantanamo and Diplomatic files to the online publishing organization Wikileaks. Materials Private Manning provided documented human rights violations and breaches of international humanitarian law by US military, by Iraqi and Afghan military forces operating alongside US forces, and by military contractors. The files included reports on illegal and inhumane battlefield actions and previously unseen footage of journalists and other civilians being killed in US helicopter attacks, information which should have been made available to the public.
Private Manning said she acted on the belief that she could spark a meaningful public debate on the cost of war, and specifically on the conduct of the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan. She said she did not intend to harm the United States, but wanted to have information about the wars more transparent to the American public. In her February 28, 2013, 10,000-word statement to the court, Private Manning said, "I believed that if the general public, especially the American public, had access to the information contained within the [Iraq and Afghan War Logs] this could spark a domestic debate on the role of the military and our foreign policy in general as well as it related to Iraq and Afghanistan."
Private Chelsea Manning's sentence of 35 years is one that we would have expected for someone who disclosed information in order to harm the United States or who disclosed information for monetary game. Private Manning did neither.
Private Manning's attorney David Coombs, wrote in a letter to the Secretary of the Army for a pardon and/or commutation of Chelsea's sentence that, "Although the government is entitled to protect sensitive information, the documents in this case did not merit protection. Many of the documents released by Private Manning were either unclassified or contained information that the public had a right to know. None of the disclosed documents caused any real damage to the United States. Instead, these documents simply embarrassed our country by revealing misconduct by the Department of Defense and unethical practices by the Department of State. We rely upon whistleblowers, even in those instances that might cause embarrassment, to keep our government accountable to its people. Private Manning is a military whistleblower. She disclosed documents that were vital for a public healthy public debate about our conduct in Iraq and Afghanistan, our detention policies in Guantánamo, and our diplomatic activities around the world. The sentence given to her by the military judge grossly exaggerates the seriousness of her conduct. It will undoubtedly have a chilling effect on future whistleblowers and damage the public's perception of military justice."
Civil rights organizations have criticized the harsh sentence given to Pvt. Manning. Lisa Clayton, who co-directs the Brennan Center for Justice, Liberty and National Security program, called the 35-year sentence unprecedented and stated, "it is dramatically longer than the longest sentence previously ever received for disclosing classified information to the media, which was two years."
Ben Wisner, the director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Speech, Privacy, and Technology project, said "a legal system that does not distinguish between leaks to the press in the public interest and treason against the nation will not only produce unjust results, but will deprive the public of critical information that is necessary for democratic accountability."
Ana Fitzgerald, the director of Amnesty International's Research and Crisis Response, said "Chelsea Manning should be shown clemency in recognition of her motives for acting as she did, the treatment she endured in her early pretrial confinement, and the due process shortcomings during her trial."
While Chelsea Manning faces many years in prison for the public disclosure of documents to WikiLeaks, numerous high-level officials have never been held accountable for the grave human rights violations committed during the United States war on terror including kidnapping, extraordinary rendition, indefinite detention and torture.
Documents released by Wikileaks were published in numerous national newspapers as Chelsea had hoped, citizens around the world read how many of their governments cooperated with the United States in kidnapping, imprisonment and torture in US war on terror—and were outraged as she had been.
Private Manning has already paid a heavy price for her whistleblowing. She has been held for more than three years in military confinement. A substantial portion of that confinement was spent an unlawful solitary confinement at Marine Corps base Quantico. She endured a three-year protracted legal process and faced a meritless charge of aiding the enemy, which the court dismissed for lack of evidence.
The MacBride Award will encourage and hearten Private Chelsea Manning while she is in prison.
I urge everyone to write Chelsea while she is in prison and to donate to the Chelsea Manning educational fund* that the Private Manning Support Group has set up to provide money for her to attend college when she returns to our community.
Again, on behalf of Private Chelsea Manning, I want to thank the International Peace Bureau for selecting her as the recipient of the 2013 Sean MacBride Peace Award.
*The educational fund for Pvt. Chelsea Manning is coming soon!

Thank you Col. Ann Wright for graciously accepting the 2013 Sean McBride Peace Award for Chelsea Manning. Chelsea Manning is a heroine for having released to the American people evidence of war crimes and other misdeeds that should not have been kept secret. It is via whistle blowers that the people learn of secret misdeeds and we need and honor such people as Chelsea Manning. Thank you for all you do also Col. Ann Wright. peace and hugs redwoodhippie
We Will Not Leave Our Sister Behind-President Obama Pardon Private Chelsea Manning Now!
From The Pen Of Peter Paul Markin
The headlines of the summer are now still. The verdict, the legal verdict if not the verdict of history, in the case of the United States vs. Private First Class Bradley Manning has been proclaimed, guilty on 20 of 22 counts. The draconian 35 year sentence has been imposed by the cruel pro-government military judge, Colonel Lind. The media pundits and commentators too have had their say, mainly that stern justice had been served by the conviction, a conviction in keeping with their own desire to keep things secret from us and not let some lowly enlisted soldier expose their house of cards. Some, like the ostrich-like New York Times, balked a little at the excessive sentence and then moved on. Others had a momentary titter when Bradley turned into Chelsea to express her real gender and then they too moved on. All is now quiet, the case is yesterday's news now long outside the 24/7 cycle interest. In their eyes Private Manning has had her fifteen minutes of fame and now she is reduced to just another military prisoner confined to the maximum security barracks out in the prairies of Kansas at Fort Leavenworth to face an uncertain future.
Chelsea Manning now also faces the hard fate that occurs in almost all political prisoner cases, doing the hard time while waiting for the slow cumbersome appeals process to work its way through the military and civilian courts of appeal. Waits in the near term for a possible reduction in sentence by the convening officer of Private Manning's court-martial who has the authority to do so, General Buchanan. And waits too, with fading hopes, for some short way home presidential pardon from a President who wrongfully interjected himself into the case with his comments early on. That pardon campaign took a serious turn for the worst when a recent Amnesty International/ Private Manning Support Network White House on-line petition failed, falling seriously short of getting the required 100,000 signatures that would have forced the Obama Administration to address the question posed by the petition.
She must also face the very real falloff that has already occurred in the positive public support and activity around her case now that the verdict and sentence are in and the media interest has shut down around the case. Also there will fewer periodic public rallies around the world from Afghanistan to the States on her behalf, reflecting a diffusion of focus now that supporters are not riveted to the public presence at trial. The long list of those celebrities and average citizens who have contributed their names, their time, their money and their energies have and will fall off on behalf of our heroic Wikileaks whistle-blower as well. Even strong and committed supporters who have led the Manning efforts here in the Boston, including members of an organization I support, Veterans for Peace, and who have publicized the case for the past three years have decided to curtail their weekly stand-out that had been running over the past two years. They have decided to pursue other less public strategies to gain Chelsea's freedom. To fight that battle for her freedom on other fronts from fund-raising events to contacting any governmental officials who will "grease the way" to the President to give us a hearing on the pardon application.
And that last point is really the crux of this commentary. The struggle continues, continues until Chelsea is free. That is where mentioning the support of Veterans for Peace comes in, people who have served in the military, who have gotten "religion" on the right side of the angels on the questions of war and peace and who have stood in solidarity with, and defense of, Private Manning since almost the beginning of her incarceration. All of us, whether we served in wars or in "peace-time,"went through the rigors and madness of basic training where hoary old drill sergeants beat us over the head with the notion that you had to take care of your buddy, that your survival and by this they meant in the heat of battle depended on buying into that concept. Any veteran can tell you many stories about how in the end their involvement with the military came down to just that embedded idea when the deal went done and the dust settled. Not letting down their buddies. Not leaving your buddies behind. Whether most drilled-in military concepts are worth anything is hard to judge, fear and recklessness may in fact play a larger role. Nevertheless we can take that not leaving your buddy behind concept and apply it here. However we may end up supporting Chelsea Manning it is with the understanding that she is our buddy. We will not leave our sister behind. Remember that. Remember this as well- President Obama Pardon Private Chelsea Manning Now!
Under whose authority did Ret. Col. Wright accept the award? It seems that Ms. Manning knew nothing about it–and claims that Col. Wright's attributions are made up of whole cloth.
Please see
It seems that someone's telling tall tales here–the question is who?
It is being reported (Oct 9) today that Ms. Manning is dismayed by having been given this award:
"I don't consider myself a 'pacifist,' 'anti-war,' or (especially) a 'conscientious objector'," she writes. "Now – I accept that there may be 'peaceful' or 'anti-war' implications to my actions – but this is purely based on your [Wright's] subjective interpretation of the primary source documents released in 2010-11."
And yet, Wright never used any of these terms in accepting the award on Ms Manning's behalf, and instead makes clear that her motivation was "the belief that she could spark a meaningful public debate on the cost of war, and specifically on the conduct of the US military in Iraq and Afghanistan." Additionally, the website of the International Peace Bureau, which presents the award, does not specify that the recipient be a "pacifist" or "conscientious objector." Indeed, it explicitly states that Ms Manning was recognized for "revealing information about US war crimes," which seems beyond dispute.
Ms Manning has also stated, "I believe it is also perfectly reasonable to subjectively interpret these documents and come to the opposite opinion and say 'hey, look at these documents, they clearly justify this war' (or diplomatic discussion, or detention of an individual)." Of course she is entitled to her opinion, but this, it seems to me, is entirely revisionist. She never suggested that possibility in any of her pre-trial statements, and, though I have read just a fraction of everything that was released on Wikileaks, I have seen nothing that might reasonably be suggested to support the US war efforts or even war in general. Furthermore, had such an interpretation been reasonable, it seems rather unlikely that the IPB would have awarded her its peace prize, and just as unlikely that she would have been as roundly denounced by the supporters of US adventurism abroad.
IMO, Ms Manning is courageous, selfless, and compassionate, and she deserves every American's (and every world citizen's) respect and thanks. The award is well-earned and appropriate. But I am totally confused by her reaction to being honored.

Library Workshop: Research 101
Unsure how to start a paper or research project? Think maybe you could stand to brush up on search strategies?
If this sounds familiar, Library Workshop: Research 101 has you covered. This interactive tutorial explores six stages of the research process. You can view it from start to finish, or focus on specific sections as needed:
Starting strategies, from choosing a topic to finding the right keywords.
The publication timeline, scholarly vs. popular sources, and differences in academic disciplines.
Search for books and other items in OskiCat, Cal's local library catalog.
Locate and access articles in library research databases.
How to cite your sources correctly.
Common techniques for constructing searches that yield useful results.
Specialized search strategies for targeting specific topics.
What is Peer Review?
Your instructor may want you to use "peer reviewed" articles as sources for your paper. Or you may be asked to find "academic," "scholarly," or "refereed" articles. What do these terms mean?
Let's start with the terms academic and scholarly, which are synonyms. An academic or scholarly journal is one intended for a specialized or expert audience. Journals like this exist in the sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Examples include Nature, Journal of Sociology, and Journal of American Studies. Scholarly/academic journals exist to help scholars communicate their latest research and ideas to each other; they are written "by experts for experts."
Most scholarly/academic journals are peer reviewed; another synonym for peer reviewed is refereed. Before an article is published in a peer-reviewed journal, it's evaluated for quality and significance by several specialists in the same field, who are "peers" of the author. The article may go through several revisions before it finally reaches publication.
Magazines like Time or Scientific American, newspapers, (most) books, government documents, and websites are not peer-reviewed, though they may be thoroughly edited and fact-checked. Articles in scholarly journals (in printed format or online) usually ARE peer-reviewed.
How can you tell if an article is both scholarly and peer-reviewed?Read more
Keywords - Brainstorming
Developing appropriate keywords/search terms is an essential part of research. First, break your topic into components. Develop a list of synonyms and alternative terminology for each component. Think about broader and narrower concepts and word variants. What words can you exclude?
Topic: Image of African American Women in Advertising
image(s) or stereotyp(es)(ing) or depict(ion) or portray(al)...
african american(s) or black(s) or minorit(y)(ies)
women or gender
advertis(e)(ing) or media
Remember to be creative with your terminology! More examples:
people of color and environmental activism*
environmental justice
environmental justice and hazardous waste*
environmental equity
environmental discrimination
environmental racism
environmental injustice
Brainstorming Academic Disciplines
Topic: Image of African American women in advertising
potentially relevant disciplines:
African American Studies
Gender and Women's Studies
Ethnic Studies
Media Studies

The behavior of the nominal exchange rate at the beginning of disinflations
AbstractA standard rational expectations model would give strong predictions about the behavior of the nominal exchange rate at the beginning of a disinflation (a rise in interest rates): a substantial initial appreciation, followed by a steady depreciation. It largely conflicts actual observations, like the recent experience of Poland, Hungary, and Chile, where an initial appreciation was not followed by any systematic depreciation. The paper tries to explore whether rational expectations can be rescued by introducing noise and parameter learning. An optimistic learning case (worse than expected inflation data every period), or the combination of a pessimistic learning case (better than expected data every period) and a declining proportional risk content of the interest rate offers a potential explanation.

Blush PERFECT!
Women of colour often struggle with choosing the right blush for their skin tone. Perhaps the biggest fear is that the finish will not seem natural. There are lots of fabulous blush shades to select from and finding the right blush colour may seem difficult, but it doesn't have to be! Just follow these simple steps courtesy of make-up pros Racquel Jenkins Moss-Solomon, director of Permanent Cosmetics Studio and Boutique and Sharon Wint-Levy, director of Face Forward Cosmetics.
Choosing and Applying Your Blush
* Your blush colour should match or be compatible with your natural skin colour.
* Always test a few shades using natural light to see which ones look the best for your skin.
* Ensure the blush colour you select is not too neutral on the skin as it may appear dull.
* Keep your lipstick colour in mind when selecting your blush, as the blush colour can also complement the lip colour that you are wearing.
* Application is key to getting a natural finish.
What Colour is Right For Me?
Light Skin Tone
For persons with a light skin tone, similar to former dancehall queen and media personality Carlene Smith, you can try almost any shade of blush. However, you may start out with a soft pink or coral tones.
Medium Skin Tone
For persons of colour with medium skin tone, blushes in shades of toffee, pink, peach or oranges may work best.
Very Dark Skin Tone
For persons of very dark complexion like supermodel Nadine Willis, you may try burgundy, wine or berry varieties such as cranberry or plum.
Product Suggestions:
All make-up brands have a line of blushes for you to choose from. However, be sure to choose one with high pigmentation so that it will be seen on the skin when you apply it.
Permanent Cosmetics Studio and Boutique recommends:
* Eve Pearl high definition cream foundation blush trio wih CosmeNutrients
* Yves Saint Laurent Crème de Blush
Face Forward Cosmetics recommends:
* Smashbox
* Iman
* Make-up Designory
* Sacha
Permanent Cosmetics Studio and Boutique's Hot Tip
Try a cream blush because it lasts longer and it also gives a dewy rather than matte effect, thus making the finish seem more natural. Once the cream blush is applied, lightly apply a bronzer or a powder blush to set the make-up in place.
Face Forward Cosmetics' Hot Tip
The best way to apply your blush is to apply it on the apple of the cheek. Move your brush towards the ear using light feathery strokes. Ensure that the application is not too heavy and be sure to blend all demarcation lines.

New Pentax elementproof WG-series cameras now under the Ricoh brand: WG4, WG4 GPS and WG20 (with optional mounting system to compete with GoPros and other action cameras)
The Pentax WG-series of elementproof cameras is now under the Ricoh brand name. Pentax-Ricoh has announced three new WG-series cameras today, the WG-4, WG-4 GPS and WG-20. The 4s have CMOS sensors while the 20 has a CCD sensor. But that's not all. They are also trying to piggy-bag on the popularity of "action cams". Optionally Ricoh is offering a mounting system for these cameras, so you can use them as action cameras. The mounting options include suction, handle bar, and adhesive.
Being elementproof cameras, it makes them good candidates for this type of thing, and a smart way for camera manufacturers to try to find a niche for P&S cameras and piggy-back on the popularity of action-cameras like the GoPros.
Details on the new cameras at Pentax Press Release (WG4* and WG20) and Pop Photo (with close-up of suction mount).
Details specs can also be found at the B&H Photo product pages, with the WG-4 going for $330 and the WG-4 GPS going for $380 with a late March 2014 release estimate.

Senate easily approves immigration bill

WASHINGTON (BP) -- The U.S. Senate has convincingly approved broad immigration legislation, marking the most significant win for reform advocates in at least seven years.
In a roll call Thursday (June 27), the Senate voted 68-32 to reform an immigration system universally recognized as badly broken. The lack of enforcement of the current system has resulted in an estimated 11 to 12 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States illegally.
Fourteen Republicans joined with the Senate's Democratic majority to support the proposal. All the "nay" votes came from GOP members.
Immigration reform's future remained in doubt, however, as attention moved to the House of Representatives. On the same day senators approved a bill, Speaker of the House John Boehner reiterated representatives would not vote on the Senate measure but produce legislation that "reflects the will" of the Republican majority in that chamber.
Evangelical advocates for immigration reform applauded the progress reflected in the Senate vote.
Southern Baptist ethicist Russell D. Moore commended the Senate for "accomplishing something we don't often see: bipartisan cooperation across the ideological spectrum for the common good."
"Most of us can agree that our current immigration system is broken and is neither just nor fair. While this legislation isn't perfect, it's clear that our leaders are working toward 'both/and' solutions, solutions that both secure our borders and demonstrate compassion for hard-working immigrant families," said Moore, president of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission. "As Christians, we are called to affirm the rule of law and compassion for the vulnerable. Let's pray for just such a solution to our immigration crisis."
The ERLC has not endorsed the Senate-approved bill. Moore has said the entity will support principles but not specific legislation.
Gabriel Salguero, president of the National Latino Evangelical Coalition, said the Senate vote was a sign Americans "can provide real solutions to our greatest challenges" when they work together.
"While there is still much work to do, we pray that the House will work in the same spirit of bipartisanship to finally bring a resolution in line with the highest of our values," Salguero said in a written statement. "We stand at a defining moment where we must choose between inaction or courageous leadership."
President Obama applauded Senate passage and said the bill, while a compromise, is "consistent with the key principles for commonsense reform that I -- and many others -- have repeatedly laid out."
The last time Congress seriously attempted immigration reform, the effort died for lack of agreement between the two houses. The Senate and House both passed bills in the 2005-06 session, but the differences between the two never were reconciled.
Distinctions this time between the Senate-passed bill and what the House might approve may again make agreement difficult.
The Senate version -- the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act, S. 744 -- includes a universal employment verification system, as well as border security and fence plans. When the border security plans are in place, undocumented immigrants can seek temporary status. To achieve such provisional status under the bill, each immigrant must meet several requirements.
A House-approved version likely would be tougher on border and legal status issues.
Foes of the Senate bill criticized the border security provision, among others, in spite of late passage of an amendment designed to strengthen that aspect of the legislation.
After the vote, Sen. Jeff Session, R.-Ala., charged there will be "no border fence, no border surge, nothing but the same tired illusory promises of future enforcement that will never occur."
The Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT), a coalition of Christian leaders that includes Moore and Salguero, said the Senate bill marked a solid, though imperfect, start upon its mid-April introduction but did not endorse it. EIT has called for immigration reform that:
-- "Respects the God-given dignity of every person;
-- "Protects the unity of the immediate family;
-- "Respects the rule of law,
-- "Guarantees secure national borders,
-- "Ensures fairness to taxpayers;
-- "Establishes a path toward legal status and/or citizenship for those who qualify and who wish to become permanent residents."
Messengers to the 2011 Southern Baptist Convention passed a resolution in support of immigration reform with specific guidelines.
That resolution from the SBC meeting in Phoenix called for the advancement of the Gospel of Jesus while pursuing justice and compassion. The measure urged the government to make a priority of border security and holding businesses accountable in their hiring. It also requested public officials establish after securing the borders "a just and compassionate path to legal status, with appropriate restitutionary measures, for those undocumented immigrants already living in our country." It specified the resolution was not to be interpreted as supporting amnesty.

No police apology for McKenzie
7:16pm Thursday 27th September 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
A chief constable has told former Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie that he will not be getting an apology relating to the infamous "The Truth" story published in the wake of the Hillsborough disaster.
Mr MacKenzie provoked fresh anger from the Hillsborough families when it emerged he instructed solicitors to demand an "apology and recompense" from South Yorkshire Police.
Mr MacKenzie, writing in The Spectator magazine, said he suffered "personal vilification for decades" as a result of the newspaper's discredited reporting of the disaster.
The Sun's front-page story, which ran four days after the tragedy in April 1989, claimed that Liverpool fans urinated on police officers resuscitating the dying and stole from the dead.
According to extracts published on The Spectator's website, Mr MacKenzie writes: "Now I know - you know, we all know - that the fans were right. But it took 23 years, two inquiries, one inquest and research into 400,000 documents, many of which were kept secret under the 30-year no-publication rule, to discover there was a vast cover-up by South Yorkshire Police about the disaster. Where does that leave me?"
The former editor goes on to say that police patrols have been increased around his house and describes a "physical danger" he faces in Liverpool.
"But the people who have got away scot-free are South Yorkshire Police," he writes, adding that he is seeking recompense for "the lies their officers told".
Current South Yorkshire Police Chief Constable David Crompton issued a statement which said: "SYP have received a letter from Kelvin MacKenzie's lawyers, which demands the force makes an apology to him. We have publicly apologised to the Hillsborough families and the Liverpool fans but we will not apologise to Mr MacKenzie. He chose to write his own headline and he should accept responsibility for it."
The Sun's 1989 report caused widespread revulsion in Liverpool and led to an almost-total boycott of the paper on Merseyside that exists to this day.
Mr MacKenzie and current Sun editor Dominic Mohan apologised for the newspaper's role the day after the panel's report was published.

A simple look out the window makes on thing clear: Winter isn't going away.
The latest round of winter weather has caused delays in the Edina lacrosse team's season. So the team, along with a group of volunteers, decided to grab a shovel and take matters into their own hands.
Starting at 8 a.m. Saturday morning, players and volunteers gathered at Edina's home field, Kuhlman Stadium, to do their part to get lacrosse season underway.
Using shovels, since brushes and plows would harm the turf, the group clear a field 360' X 240 feet. The field was covered in approximately 8 inches of snow, meaning over 1,000,000 pounds of snow was removed.
Now, they just need to the weather to start cooperating.

December 8, 2005Albany -- The City Manager also said the city's department heads must handle their business or get out.
Alfred Lott says his top priority is getting qualified department heads who don't have to rely on the city manager to handle day to day business. He wouldn't comment on whether he plans to fire Civic Center Director Maddie Goddard.
Lott said, "I expect department directors to bring me solutions with every problem they present, as opposed to bringing me problem's and looking at me to solve them. If I have to solve them, then I don't need you. I need a responsible person in the Civic Center, and all my departments. I am going to demand that, and I'm going to get that."
Lott gave Maddie Goddard across-the-board "Ineffectives" in her job performance evaluation.
Goddard's lawyer says Lott told the civic center director she must resign or retire or he'll fire her.

Anyways to any Braves fan looking for a fantasy home, I just created a 12 team league on yahoo. It is a standard H2H 5x5 league. I'd like it to be a keeper league with us keeping 4 or 5 players each year if we are all decent managers. All are welcomed to join until its full.

Review Details
Product Review (submitted on September 9, 2012):
Amazing results in just 1 week
I've been using this product for a week (2x a day) in conjunction with the deep tissue cell repair cream at night and an oil-free moisturizer during the day. Over the last week I've noticed a reduction in fine lines around my mouth and eyes, a decrease in pore size, and my complexion has evened out. I attribute most of this to the P299 product, but can't ignore that the reduction in fine lines could be due to the deep tissue cell repair cream. I know it's not the oil-free moisturizer bevmcause I've been using it for over a year, though I think it pairs nicely with this product to keep my oil production down and keep a matte finish for daytime.
My only gripe is the size. 1oz doesn't seem like it would last very long, which could make it a pricey addition to my beauty regimen. But I'm not sure I want to go back to my old skin... So it's worth it.

Transit confirmation and improved stellar and planet parameters for the super-Earth HD 97658 b and its host star

Super-Earths transiting nearby bright stars are key objects that simultaneously allow for accurate measurements of both their mass and radius, providing essential constraints on their internal composition. We present here the confirmation, based on Spitzer transit observations, that the super-Earth HD 97658 b transits its host star. HD 97658 is a low-mass ($M_*=0.77\pm0.05\,M_{\odot}$) K1 dwarf, as determined from the Hipparcos parallax and stellar evolution modeling. To constrain the planet parameters, we carry out Bayesian global analyses of Keck-HIRES radial velocities, and MOST and Spitzer photometry. HD 97658 b is a massive ($M_P=7.55^{+0.83}_{-0.79} M_{\oplus}$) and large ($R_{P} = 2.247^{+0.098}_{-0.095} R_{\oplus}$ at 4.5 $\mu$m) super-Earth. We investigate the possible internal compositions for HD 97658 b. Our results indicate a large rocky component, by at least 60% by mass, and very little H-He components, at most 2% by mass. We also discuss how future asteroseismic observations can improve the knowledge of the HD 97658 system, in particular by constraining its age. Orbiting a bright host star, HD 97658 b will be a key target for coming space missions TESS, CHEOPS, PLATO, and also JWST, to characterize thoroughly its structure and atmosphere.

CHEOPS: A transit photometry mission for ESA's small mission programme

Ground based radial velocity (RV) searches continue to discover exoplanets below Neptune mass down to Earth mass. Furthermore, ground based transit searches now reach milli-mag photometric precision and can discover Neptune size planets around bright stars. These searches will find exoplanets around bright stars anywhere on the sky, their discoveries representing prime science targets for further study due to the proximity and brightness of their host stars. A mission for transit follow-up measurements of these prime targets is currently lacking. The first ESA S-class mission CHEOPS (CHaracterizing ExoPlanet Satellite) will fill this gap. It will perform ultra-high precision photometric monitoring of selected bright target stars almost anywhere on the sky with sufficient precision to detect Earth sized transits. It will be able to detect transits of RV-planets by photometric monitoring if the geometric configuration results in a transit. For Hot Neptunes discovered from the ground, CHEOPS will be able to improve the transit light curve so that the radius can be determined precisely. Because of the host stars' brightness, high precision RV measurements will be possible for all targets. All planets observed in transit by CHEOPS will be validated and their masses will be known. This will provide valuable data for constraining the mass-radius relation of exoplanets, especially in the Neptune-mass regime. During the planned 3.5 year mission, about 500 targets will be observed. There will be 20% of open time available for the community to develop new science programmes.

A near-infrared interferometric survey of debris disc stars. II. CHARA/FLUOR observations of six early-type dwarfs

Aims. We aim at directly detecting the presence of optically thin circumstellar dust emission within the terrestrial planetary zone around main sequence stars known to harbour cold debris discs. The present study focuses on a sample of six bright A- and early F-type stars. Methods: High-precision interferometric observations have been obtained in the near-infrared K band with the FLUOR instrument installed on the CHARA Array. The measured squared visibilities are compared to the expected visibility of the stellar photospheres based on theoretical photospheric models taking into account rotational distortion. We search for potential visibility reduction at short baselines, a direct piece of evidence for resolved circumstellar emission. Results: Our observations bring to light the presence of resolved circumstellar emission around one of the six target stars (zeta Aql) at the 5sigma level. The morphology of the emission source cannot be directly constrained because of the sparse spatial frequency sampling of our interferometric data. Using complementary adaptive optics observations and radial velocity measurements, we find that the presence of a low-mass companion is a likely origin for the excess emission. The potential companion is characterised by a K-band contrast of four magnitudes. It has a most probable mass of about 0.6~Msun and is expected to orbit between about 5.5 AU and 8 AU from its host star assuming a purely circular orbit. Nevertheless, by adjusting a physical debris disc model to the observed Spectral Energy Distribution of the zeta Aql system, we also show that the presence of hot dust within 10 AU from zeta Aql, producing a total thermal emission equal to 1.69 ± 0.31% of the photospheric flux in the K band, is another viable explanation for the observed near-infrared excess. Our re-interpretation of archival near- to far-infrared photometric measurements shows however that cold dust is not present around zeta Aql at the sensitivity limit of the IRS and MIPS instruments onboard Spitzer, and urges us to remove zeta Aql from the category of bona fide debris disc stars. Conclusions: The hot debris disc around Vega (Absil et al. 2006) currently remains our only secure resolved detection within the context of this survey, with six genuine early-type debris disc stars observed so far. Further observations will be needed to assess whether zeta Aql also belongs to this hot debris disc category. Partly based on observations collected at the European Southern Observatory, La Silla, Chile, under program IDs 073.C-0733, 077.C-0295 and 080.C-0712. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 29 (4 ULg)

Websites have traditionally been viewed from computer and laptop screens. But with the rise of Smartphones and tablet computers, such as the popular iPhone and iPad, more people are browsing the internet, shopping – and buying from their mobile devices than ever before.
If you don't have a Mobile-Optimized website, then you are turning away customers! With more people using their Smartphones to search for y
Every Business Absolutely Needs A Mobile Site
If you don't have a website optimized for mobile viewing, then you are losing business every day. Period. Bottom line. Would you put up a sign at your business that reads "Please Visit Our Competitors Instead Of Us"? Yet, that is exactly what's happening when they try to view your website on their mobile device.
Why Are Mobile Optimized Websites Necessary?
Mobile device screens are much smaller than computer and laptop screens. Websites optimized for mobile are designed for smaller screen sizes. People have different expectations and internet behaviors when they are on their mobile devices. When people search for local businesses on their mobile devices, they are usually not looking to read lengthy articles or browse for information.
Instead, mobile searchers are looking for specific information. They are looking for phone contact information, or directions to a business, or information about store hours. Some are even searching for coupon deals.
Smart business owners will capitalize on this by optimizing their websites for mobile devices.
How Do You Optimize For Mobile Devices?
Keep it simple. Just the facts ma'am. Mobile searchers don't want to read a lot. They want easy to understand buttons to push. They want to click and have instant map directions, or be connected on a phone call. They are busy and they are on the go.
So… make it easy for them to navigate your mobile website by taking away all the clutter of words and pictures. Instead, put your logo at the top of the page and a few carefully selected buttons which give the people access to what they want – your phone number and directions!

What About My Normal Website?
You should keep your normal business website. Don't throw out the baby with the bath water! Your existing business website is bringing you traffic, right? Keep that traffic coming. But now, add a second front page to your website. How?
Create a second page that is optimized for mobile devices. Then add a script to your normal website which runs a check on the type of device people are using to visit your website. If the script detects a mobile device, it automatically and instantly redirects visitors to your mobile optimized website.
This way computer and laptop visitors see your normal website. While mobile device users will see your mobile optimized site. This makes sense, right?

Union leaders are telling members that company proposals to save jobs would have actually set the union back, responding to the GE announcement yesterday that up to a thousand Erie jobs would be lost with the transfer of a key production line.
In a flyer sent to members Thursday morning, union leaders acknowledged what the company had released the day before; that the Evolution locomotive assembly work would be transferred to a plant in Texas.
Those with knowledge of the talks that have gone on for two months tell us that the company's desire to re-open the contract was a key sticking point.
"If we re-open the contract when times are down, would the company re-open in times of big profits?" one asked.
The UE leadership also seemed to be responding to criticism both inside and outside the organization that the union could have bent more to save maybe one third of the at-risk jobs.
"Contrary to what many may think, (members or community) the proposals offered by the company would have set this union back. Our focus has not changed to keep these jobs in Erie.."

Every Monday, we look back at the weekend's series and then preview the next week's series.
Raise your hands high, Yu Darvish. There's a world's worth of work, and a need for you.
(Refraining from the cheap pun seems like a good idea to start the season.)
That series was not a good series.
Friday's game was over approximately the time the team scheduled Joe Saunders as its starting pitcher. Saunders has had a lengthy career, most of it fairly nondistinguishable outside of some fairly decent win totals.
On a completely related note, pitcher wins are a very bad stat for any kind of analytic conclusion.
The Rangers lost Friday's game 8-1, and Saunders was possibly injured when an Evan Longoria liner struck his left ankle. After some initial media confusion as to which ankle was possibly injured, Saunders's X-rays were negative for any fractures or discernable ability to get batters out.
Saturday's game was a disappointment of a different note. Affable young righthander Nick Martinez made his Major League debut, pitching opposite all-universe Rays lefty David Price. The offense, a day after realizing they might as well take the day off, realized that they had a pitcher to support, and scored four runs off Price in his six innings of work. Martinez (from a runs standpoint) outdueled Price, allowing three runs in six innings (although Price struck out six and walked zero, while Martinez struck out three, walked three, and allowed two home runs). As his reward, Martinez returns to anchor Frisco's rotation, where he'll no doubt be peppered with questions from Rougned Odor about what to expect in the bigs.
All was for naught, though, as the normally dependable Neal Cotts allowed two eighth-inning runs on a hit and two walks in his one inning of work. After that, Grant Balfour pitched a clean ninth for a Rays 5, Rangers 4 final.
In Sunday's finale, Yu Darvish made his season premiere, and nonsurprisingly pitched the finest start a Ranger has made to date this season, throwing seven innings of shutout ball, allowing eight baserunners on seven hits and a walk while striking out six. Notably, his second strikeout of the first inning made his MLB's fastest pitcher ever to the 500 strikeout milestone, which is shocking because how has he only struck out 500 batters so far? That feels like it should at least be 2,000 by now.
Unfortunately, Darvish drew Alex Cobb as his opposite, who matched Darvish's seven shutout innings, only allowing four baserunners. However, in the eighth, Elvis Andrus muscled a 90 mph Joel Peralta fastball into a two-run home run. Noted rapist (I'm not being funny here, Josh Leuke was actually charged with rape as a member of the Bakersfield Blaze while in the Texas Rangers system. He was traded to Seattle as part of the Cliff Lee deal, in no small part due to the fact that Seattle's GM failed to perform any kind of background on Lueke, including, like, googling his name and seeing what returns on the first page of results. It would be humorous if it didn't involve sex crimes) Josh Lueke allowed a run from a Donnie Murphy infield single, leaving Joakim Soria to protect a 3-0 lead in the ninth, which he did, with aplomb, for the season's first save and non-walkoff victory.
The series ahead
Up next, the Rangers head to Fenway Park for a three-game series with the reigning World Series champion Red Sox, prominently featuring two former Rangers in first baseman Mike Napoli (pleae note, that's pronounced Nap-uh-lee, Mr. President, sir) and closer Koji uehara, the latter of which is currently in the middle of a historic run. So far, the 39 year old has appeared in three games this season, striking out five and allowing a single baserunner (via a hit). His .333 WHIP is probably not sustainable over a long season though; last season, that number was .565. For those unfamiliar with WHIP, it means Koji has basically developed an allergy to allowing baserunners since leaving the Rangers.
Monday's game features Tanner Scheppers aiming to improve on his current 15.75 ERA opposite familiar Ranger opponent John Lackey.
Tuesday's pitching matchup will see Martin Perez face off against lefty Felix Doubront. Watch for Michael Choice to make his second start of the season, replacing either Mitch Moreland or Shin-Shoo Choo (guess which one we're all hoping it is?).
In Wednesday's capper, Robbie Ross will face Jake Peavy. Fun fact: the three scheduled Rangers starters will account for about 1.5 million dollars of rangers payroll; the Red Sox are paying about 31 million dollars for the combined services of Lackey, Peavy, and Doubront.
Joseph Ursery can be found here and on twitter.com at @thejoeursery. His main interests include fatherhood, craft beer, facial hair, and twenty-year-old middle infielders with patience and power. Oh, and cover songs, too. He really likes cover songs. "No particular reason why," he says, but WFAA feels like there's more to this story.

Semiconductor policy soon: Maran
Our Bureau
Bangalore Nov. 5
, The Union Government would soon announce its policy on the semiconductor industry, said the Union Minister for Communication and IT, Mr Dayanidhi Maran, on Sunday.
The Ministries of Communication and IT and Finance were working together to formulate the policy, Mr Maran told presspersons in Bangalore after a function where leading semiconductor company SemIndia and Belgium-based IMEC, Europe's leading independent nanoelectronics and nanotechnology research institute, signed an MoU for research and development collaboration.
"We will try to do it as fast as possible," Mr Maran said adding, "a cabinet note on the proposed policy is on its way". About the reported differences between the two ministries on incentives to be given for the semiconductor industry, Mr Maran said, "We are in a democratic set up. But at the end of the day, we are batting on the same side."
The SemIndia founder, Chairman and CEO, Mr Vinod Agarwal, said there were concerned over the delay in announcement of the policy, which was ``disturbing'' and would send a ``wrong signal''. But, Mr Agarwal noted, the Government was trying to work out a consensus on the proposed policy and the Prime Minister was fully committed to it.
SemIndia, which intends to build a semiconductor fab in Hyderabad by 2007 with production ramp-up beginning 2009, intends to take up research with IMEC on the next generations of semiconductor process technologies.
"This collaboration would focus on developing foundry-compatible 130 nano metre and 90 nano metre CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) processes for logic and mixed signal products," Mr Vinod Agarwal said.
SemIndia will rely on IMEC's expertise in developing and transferring advanced CMOS processes. "In second phase, SemIndia plans to collaborate with IEMC on advanced semiconductor processes of 65 nano metre and 45 nano metre," he said.
The IMEC Vice-President for Strategic Relations, Mr Roger de Keersmaecker, said IMEC acknowledged the fact that India is fast emerging in the nanoelectronic, R&D and manufacturing segments. "India's booming economy and microelectronics market, large and educated workforce and a sound legal framework for intellectual property protection form the basic ingredients for successful R&D collaborations," he said.

There are a few things Jeremy Marsh was sure he'd never do: he'd never leave New York City; never give his heart away again after barely surviving one failed marriage; and, most of all, never become a parent. Now, Jeremy is living in the tiny town of Boone Creek, North Carolina, married to Lexie Darnell, the love of his life, and anticipating the birth of their daughter. But just as his life seems to be settling into a blissful pattern, an unsettling and mysterious message re-opens old wounds and sets off a chain of events that will forever change the course of this young couple's marriage.
Dramatic, heartbreaking and surprising, this is a story about the love between a man and a woman and between a parent and a child. More than that, it is a story that beautifully portrays how the same emotion that can break your heart is also the one that will ultimately heal it.
While the novel picks up the tale of Lexie Darnell and Jeremy Marsh that started in True Believer and will delight fans of that novel, it stands on its own as one of Nicholas Sparks's most deeply moving love stories.
Nicholas Sparks is the author of 12 books. He lives in North Carolina with his wife and five children. You can visit the author's web site at www.nicholassparks.com.
Another well done book by Nicholas Sparks. He never lets you down!

We are out here. Tonight I went on a little bit of a rant on twitter. I was talking about some of my opinions on war and what being an American means. Most of the my twitter followers get it. The owners of this team gets in. It is a very rare that a week goes by without hearing about what the Khans are doing for the local community.
In a day in age when a large amount of southerns are prejudice against all things appearing to be Muslim, the Khans are destroying those prejudices. They are supporting the Wounded Warriors, the local community, and are living the American dream.
From a dish washer to a NFL owner, Shad is someone we can all point our children to. He carries himself with class. He is a respectable man. His children look up to him. He is down to earth.
Im about that life. As a Marine who was shot in the battle of Fallujah, I am all about people that live apple pie, baseball and all other things America. Today we celebrate a new dawn for Jaguar fans. While we do that, dont forget the 19 year old that is sleeping in a hastily dug ditch in Afghanistan.
Keep our troops in your mind. Dont do so with sadness. Think about them with thanks. Party. Drink. Be merry. For tomorrow, they might die for you to do so.

June 3, 2008
Albany- No charges will be filed in a crash that killed a Lee County teen and injured two teenage friends.
Troopers say 16 year old Cole Lentz was making a u-turn on Forrester Parkway when his pickup was hit by a utility truck. Witnesses told troopers it appeared Lentz was trying to spin his tires when his pickup was broad sided near Northhampton Road Monday afternoon.
His pickup an the United Rentals truck slid down the embankment. Troopers said Tuesday, alcohol was not a factor in the crash, and none of the teens was wearing a seat belt. Lentz's passengers 15 year old Trea Smith and 16 year old Garrett Hart were injured.
Tuesday Trea Smith remains in critical condition and Garrett Hart remains in fair condition at Phoebe Putney Memorial Hospital. 62 year old Raymond Earl Winborne the driver of the United Rentals truck, wasn't taken by ambulance from the scene but a family member later took his to a hospital.
Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death among American teens. They're three times as likely to be involved in a fatal crash than all other drivers and the least likely group to have a seat belt on.
Georgia Troopers say they'll target teens not buckled up. It's a repetitive lesson, educators hope is registering with teen drivers, because the consequences are too often deadly.
"Everyday, if I make an announcement, I even said this in my graduation speech, it's two things, be safe on the roads and wear your seat belt," said Kevin Dowling, Lee County High School Principal.
It's left friends of the three Lee County teens in Monday's crash dazed and confused. "I can't believe it happened, I don't know," said Zak Russell, a friend.
State Troopers say it's a tough reminder for teens to buckle up every time you get into a vehicle. Of the 16 to 20 year olds killed in motor vehicle crashes annually, 58 percent weren't wearing seat belts.
"The chances of you surviving a crash with your seat belt on are very high. Eighty-five to 90 percent of crashes we investigate if there were seat belts worn the victim or the person in the accident itself did survive," said GSP-Albany Senior Trooper Darryl Benton.
Troopers aren't sure if a seat belt would have saved Cole Lentz's life, the driver's side of his pickup took a direct hit from utility truck, but more often than not, seat belts save lives.
"The more times you repeat something, the more times you say something to them. Sometimes I go out in the parking lot and stop a car and say, put your seat belt on, and they're of course oh yeah, sorry and the kids know that's something I'm going to tell them everyday," said Benton.
"It makes you want to be more careful, be more defensive as a driver," said Russell.
As teens are traveling more this summer, Troopers plan to be on the roads with them, enforcing seat belt laws. The Click it or Ticket seat belt enforcement campaign is going on right now in Georgia.

As the league continues to shape its "pass first" reputation, a need for good safeties has become even more important. Safety play is down across the league and several teams may attempt to upgrade the position this offseason.
Lucky for those teams, several proven starters are set to hit the market. Pro Bowl safety Jairus Byrd headlines the class. His former college teammate T.J. Ward is also likely to cash in. Veterans Antoine Bethea, Chris Clemons and Malcolm Jenkins are the second-tier safeties that could easily upgrade several teams' units. Nate Allen and Major Wright are also solid options.
Below are the top 10 safeties who are set to become free agents in March. Each player's 2013 team is listed in parentheses.
1. Jairus Byrd (Buffalo Bills)
Despite the Bills' desire to re-sign him, unless they place the franchise tag on him, he is likely gone. Byrd is looking to make some serious cash and deservedly so. Although he missed several games with plantar fasciitis in both of his feet, Byrd was still named to the Pro Bowl after collecting 48 tackles, a sack, four interceptions and a forced fumble in just 11 games. He has been a Pro Bowl safety three times in his career and could be in line to become the NFL's highest-paid safety.
2. T.J. Ward (Cleveland Browns)
Newly-minted Pro Bowl and All-Pro safety T.J. Ward is scheduled to hit the open market for the first time in his career. While he is the most likely on this list to receive the franchise tag, Ward would be a big splash signing for any team. Ward started all 54 games that he has appeared in during the last four seasons and has been a play-maker. Ward has five interceptions and five forced fumbles in his four-year career.
3. Antoine Bethea (Indianapolis Colts)
Two-time Pro Bowl safety and Super Bowl winner Antoine Bethea is set to become a free agent in March and could be playing for a new team for the first time in his career. The eight-year veteran out of Howard, Bethea has been a stable force in the Colts defensive backfield throughout his career. Like Ward, he has started every game he has played in and has only missed five games. He coming off a solid season where he posted 110 tackles, a sack and two interceptions.
4. Chris Clemons (Miami Dolphins)
The 28-year-old will hit free agency for the first time after spending five years in Miami. Clemons worked his way up from special teams to starter during the last three seasons. While he does not gather a ton of big numbers, Clemons has the ability to cover and stop the run.
5. Malcolm Jenkins (New Orleans Saints)
Former first-round pick Malcolm Jenkins is a converted cornerback with a nose for the ball. Still just 26, Jenkins has plenty of experience and a Super Bowl ring. He was an All-Pro in 2010 but has never reached a Pro Bowl. A five-year veteran with the ability to cause turnovers, Jenkins could receive plenty of interest.
6. Donte Whitner (San Francisco 49ers)
A heavy hitter with tons of experience, Whitner is likely to be targeted as a veteran presence. He is probably worth more to the 49ers than to any other team, but after a strong resume of work during the last few seasons, a team is likely to overpay for the former Buffalo Bill. He is a leader and could be a valued asset to a young, talented squad.
7. Bernard Pollard (Tennessee Titans)
Pollard has established himself as a solid starter in the NFL. He played very well with the Titans last season and could be due for the first major payday of his career. He has bounced around the league and his next team will be this fifth.
8. Major Wright (Chicago Bears)
Wright is a talented player who has improved every every year. He could be in for a big pile of cash, especially from a team that thinks the best is yet to come. Wright has accumulated nine interceptions and three touchdowns in the last three seasons. Only 25, he is among the youngest veterans on the market.
9. Nate Allen (Philadelphia Eagles)
Allen turned around his career under new defensive coordinator Billy Davis this season. After dealing with three different coordinators in three years, his fourth play-caller wound up being the best bet for Allen. The four-year veteran has played in several different defenses -- so he is adaptable -- but likely needs to play in the box at this point in his career. A nasty leg injury during his rookie campaign has permanently slowed him down, but he is a smart player and has greatly improved his tackling ability. He could signed for competition or be a starter.
10. Mike Mitchell (Carolina Panthers)
The Panthers undercovered a gem when they signed Mitchell to a one-year deal last offseason. The former Oakland Raider blossomed in Sean McDermott's defense and was an absolute play-maker. Mitchell collected 64 tackles, four sacks, two forced fumbles and four interceptions. He is likely better off staying in Carolina but could look to get a stable starting gig and paycheck somewhere else.
Other notable names:
James Ihedigbo (Baltimore Ravens)
Ihedigbo moved into the starting lineup this season and responded with a career year. The 30-year-old finished the season with 101 tackles, 11 pass defenses and three interceptions. He played for the league minimum last season and figures to earn a much larger payday in free agency.
Usama Young (Oakland Raiders)
Young suffered a neck injury late in the season and landed on injured reserve. If healthy, he should provide solid depth and the ability to play multiple roles.
Kendrick Lewis (Kansas City Chiefs)
Lewis has considerable starting experience, with 50 career starts. He was somewhat overshadowed in Kansas City, playing next to Eric Berry. Lewis finished last season with 56 tackles, four pass defenses and an interception.
Charles Woodson (Oakland Raiders)
The veteran returned to Oakland last season and played a considerable role for the Raiders, despite being 37 years old. He did well enough that he should receive interest on the free agent market, although it wouldn't be a surprise to see him return to Oakland.
Ryan Clark (Pittsburgh Steelers)
Clark has been a consistent playmaker for the Steelers, posting his third straight season with more than 100 tackles. At 34, he'll likely attract free agent interest, but on short-term deals.

The following instructions are for the package dimensions given in step 1. You can replicate these or use them for inspiration.
To begin, wrap each package in the traditional way. Using the same paper, construct "bows" for the tops, which cascade down the sides of the box. In addition to the paper, you'll need scissors and tape. Each piece of paper is applied using a 1 1/2- to 2-inch tape roll -- a piece of tape secured to itself at both ends. (Double-sided tape can be used, but tape rolls give the best results.)

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Daniel Silberman and Jus Ske, the duo behind Illesteva eyewear, moonlight as DJs and dudes-about-town. They recently hit Moscow to spin at a summer party for former Pop editrix and current gallery doyenne Dasha Zhukova and check out her Garage Center for Contemporary Culture. Below, the duo sends back a few snaps from their travels.
We arrived in Moscow on Sunday afternoon. After checking in at our hotel, we went to say hello to our friends at Moscow's leading boutique, Le Form, which introduced Russia to brands such as Margiela, Rick Owens, Ann Demeulemeester, and many more. We also checked out the new James Turrell exhibition at Dasha's Garage Center for Contemporary Culture. It's a truly amazing show and a must-see if you're in Moscow. The entire art scene is really booming in the city right now. Later, our driver took us to Strelka on the river, which is Moscow's best restaurant to watch the sunset—which, during the summer, happens at around 11 p.m. Our friends Anja, Anna, and Natalia were all in town for a shoot, so they joined us for dinner and drinks.
The next day, Jus Ske deejayed Dasha's party at an estate in the suburbs of Moscow. She got what felt like the whole of Moscow there—including Olya Thompson, Vika Gazinskaya, Sanam Salek, Hunter Soik, and Natasha Goldenberg. The party went until 4 a.m.—and after that, why bother going to sleep? We went instead with our friends Hunter and Karolina to watch the sun rise in the Red Square.
