Shelter animals in Manatee County are about to have the national spotlight shining on them. A rescue group with big connections is in town, pardoning them for a week until they can get adopted.
They need loving homes and within the week, these volunteers vow, every single pet in Manatee County's two shelters, should be adopted.
"Our goal is to get 'em all out, but it's not a push 'em out the door kind of thing, we want them in a better situation," said Shane Smith with the group, "Paws For Hope And Faith", which is a non-profit operation, based in Georgia.
Shane and Janet Smith started the group a year and a half ago, and rely on thousands of social media circles locally and nationwide, to match the right folks with the right pets.
"When a shelter's full, they're full, so the animals have to go somewhere," said Shane Smith.
And it takes a huge network to get those animals into a forever home.
"We don't pick where we go, the places pick us," explained Smith.
So Friday afternoon, the shelter signed a pardon, giving all animals in the Manatee system, seven more days to get adopted.
"We believe they know why we're here," he said, petting a dog.
The Smiths have been focusing on high-kill shelters, but the shelter in Manatee has been setting the standard nationwide, by reducing its kill rate steadily over the past few years. Manatee was the first county in the state to adopt a "no-kill"policy at its public shelters, so they already have one of the best "save" rates in Florida.
"In Manatee, this will be our 6th pardon," he said.
The Smiths have 21 dogs of their own.
"Take all of you home," he said to a brindle-coated shepherd mix, as he took it out for a walk.
"I think she'd make somebody a good dog," said Janet Smith. "She seems real sweet, real friendly, probably easy to train."
There are very few cats available at the Manatee facility. There is a beautiful grey and white striped tabby named Tommy, who loves to have his neck rubbed. And a unique kitty, believed to be a direct descendant of Ernest Hemingway's cats in Key West.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 toes!," exclaimed Janet Smith, counting the kitty's toes on her hind legs. "You're special!," said her husband. "I'll bet you could climb a tree fast!"
"It's polydactyl," said Kris Weiskopf, who is the Chief of Manatee County's Animal Services Division. "And that's kind of an unusual characteristic, but they have the extra toes and that makes them unique. They're definitely good cats and they are sought after."
Their goal is to get all 200-plus, cats, kittens, dogs and puppies, adopted over the next seven days.
"So!," giggled Janet Smith. "We need some good homes!" "And you've always gotten it done?," we asked. "Yes," she said. "And there's always room for an extension, if needed!"
The shelter will also be getting some national exposure Tuesday. FOX News will be broadcasting live from the shelter with their morning show, "FOX & Friends", from 6 to 9 that morning.
And they're hoping for large crowds, so that every animal finds a good, loving home.

Bromfords pupils win business challenge in Essex
11:00am Friday 18th April 2014 in News By Helen Barnett
DELIGHTED pupils have been crowned winners of a tough business challenge.
Bromfords School and Sixth Form students were named winners of the Aspirations in Business Event, organised by the Institute of Directors.
Pupils had to draw up an action plan to save businesses with falling sales to win the event at Anglia Ruskin University.
Pupils got to the finals by competing in regional events against high schools, grammar schools and colleges from across Essex.
They were coached by Simon Fordham, co-founder of business mentoring group the Fordham Henderson Partnership, which helped pupils develop their business acumen.
Eight pupils were awarded with prizes, including the chance to attend the Institute of Directors' Christmas breakfast at Stock Brook Country Club with entrepreneurs and business people. They also won a trip to the Royal London Group headquarters.
Jane Oglesby, curriculum team leader for business studies and economics at Bromfords, said: "The presentations from all of the pupils were of an exceptionally high standard.
"I am very proud of our group of Year 12 pupils who have developed a wide range of skills and experience thanks to the Institute of Directors.
"The event provided pupils with an outstanding opportunity to learn from business experts in the Essex and London regions."
Tim Price, chairman of the Essex branch of the Institute of Directors, said: "Nurturing young entrepreneurial talent is so important and we had a great turnout this year once again.
"We would like to congratulate Bromfords on their excellent presentation.
"They gave outstanding performances and demonstrated the amazing talent we have in Essex."

'Horrifying': Badly-wounded sheep put down after Kirkby Stephen attack
Updated 9:43am Wednesday 27th March 2013 in News By Steven Bell, Senior Reporter
A FARMER had to destroy one of his sheep after the animal suffered 'horrific' injuries in an attack in Eden.
The incident happened between Thursday (March 21) and Monday in a field next to Upper Eden Rugby Club, Kirkby Stephen, which is known locally as Tarns Bottom.
The field is accessed via a footpath near Westgarth and the farm in question saw five 'almost identical' attacks in 2012, Cumbria Police said.
Officers have appealed for information about the latest incident of 'sheep worrying', which probably left the animal in agony for several days.
A spokesman said: "The injuries suffered by the sheep are horrifying, with the latest victim having extensive facial injuries, leaving the unfortunate animal to walk around the field, possibly for a number of days, in great pain prior to being destroyed by the farmer."
Police said they were very keen to speak to anyone with information about the incident, or any other attacks on livestock.
Information should be passed to PC Fairweather on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Twenty years ago, I saw it happen to a family member.
He had always been prone to addiction and his use of marijuana and other drugs had stunted his education, his career and his personal life. But once he got hooked on methamphetamine, all of those other drug habits seemed almost trivial.
He was in his early 30s then, with a wife and three kids, but he withdrew from all of them. Stopped going to his kids' games. Stopped going to church and to work. Stopped showing up for dinner. Then stopped coming home at night altogether.
His family didn't see him for weeks at a time. He was living wherever meth was cooked. His body, mind and soul were wasting away. He did shameful, unspeakable things to himself and others.
At least once, he found himself staring down the barrel of a gun when a meth party went wrong. At other times, the police were closing in and he escaped arrest by seconds.
Finally, he hit rock bottom. He had no money. His health was shot. He had ruined all of his relationships.
But he had a family who, despite everything, still cared deeply about him. They helped him check into a rehab center.
It took several weeks to beat the physical addiction and to become strong enough to face the things he had done and move ahead with his life. He felt intense guilt and shame and remorse.
He also realized that the addiction is never really beaten, that he could easily end up on the floor again of some god-forsaken house with chaos swirling all around him. He can still smell death closing in.
Family and God saved my relative from an early, undignified death. He turned to the Bible to guide his soul and help him resist the temptations of meth. He still reads the Bible every day, still falls to his knees to thank God and beseech Him to give the strength to keep the inner demons at bay.

A tribute to Ronald Reagan, in the words of his great friend Margaret Thatcher
Ronald Reagan was born 102 years ago today in Tampico, Illinois. He stands tall as the greatest U.S. president of the 20th Century, a fearless defender of liberty, and an unflinching patriot who revived a superpower after decades of decline.
In one of her last speeches on the world stage, Margaret Thatcher paid tribute to President Reagan at a dinner organised by the National Republican Senatorial Committee in Washington, D.C. on March 1, 2002. Her beautifully crafted words are a fitting reminder of a truly great man who dedicated his life to serving his country and leaving the world a better place.
Here is an excerpt from that speech. The full text of Lady Thatcher's address can be found here, at the magnificent Margaret Thatcher Foundation online archive.
As Ron once put it: the nine most dangerous words in the English language are "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help". As usual, he was right.
Ronald Reagan helped America – and so America could help the world – because he rejected that approach. He believed, and he never stopped proclaiming, that the talents of a nation, not the wisdom of bureaucracy, forge a country's greatness. Let our children grow tall – he urged – then they can reach out to raise others higher too.
For our opponents, there are always a hundred reasons why the government must intervene to plan its children's lives. For us, there's one overwhelming reason why it shouldn't – because men and women are born to be free.
The world isn't much used to hearing that kind of message now. We live in an era of sound bites and spin doctors, of false sentiment and real cynicism. That's why just reading – or hearing as we shall – the words of Ronald Reagan is so refreshing. They remind us that men and women were born for high ideals and noble purposes.
They remind us, too, that the world which so many now take for granted was won by struggle. And Ron had to struggle. The fact that he kept his composure and lifted us all with his humour testified to his inner strength, not to a life without hardship. And it also testified, as he never failed to add, to the boundless, enfolding love of Nancy.
Ronald Reagan's achievements can be summed up like this: he made America great again, and he used that greatness to set the nations free. Either of these achievements would qualify a President for the political pantheon: but to have succeeded in both marks out President Reagan as one of America's very greatest leaders.
All his policies were of a piece, and all reflected his own distinctive philosophy. He believed in America, and he believed in people.
When the academics foretold American decline, he replied that there was nothing this nation couldn't do, once given the chance.
When the economists denounced his policies of tax cuts as simplistic, he didn't mind if his answers were simple because they were true.
When liberals doubted if Americans were willing to master events and make sacrifices, he replied (and I quote):
"No weapon in the arsenals of the world is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women".
… President Reagan didn't just abhor communism, mistrust socialism and dislike bureaucracy, he truly loved liberty – he loved it with a passion which went far beyond anything else in his political life. It was what brought moral grandeur to his vision of America and to his dreams for a better world. It was directed not mainly at earthly powers and principalities but rather at the infinitely precious, utterly unique human being, wherever he or she was yearning to breathe free.

The war of words between Paulie Malignaggi and Devon Alexander's trainer/manager Kevin Cunningham continues to escalate, as Malignaggi has now started to wonder why Cunningham does all the talking for Alexander. From Rick Reeno:
"Kevin has a lot of balls bringing up me wearing skirts in a fight and trying to broadcast out that I have female traits. Out of the both of us, me and Devon, the one that was showing the most female traits, is the way Devon was screaming and yelling like a little bitch to the doctor, after the paper cut that Tim Bradley gave him. ... Kevin Cunningham needs to stop being a spokesman for Devon Alexander. If Devon Alexander really was a man, he would stand up for himself instead of hiding behind Kevin Cunningham."
Cunningham has always been Alexander's mouthpiece, at least for the most part, but he might be picking a verbal fight with Malignaggi that he has no chance of really winning. I mean, all he has, I guess, is that Paulie wears skirt-like trunks and he calls him "Paula." That has backfired. Next he might bring up the fights Paulie lost. Paulie surely counters with the fights Devon should have lost.
As for a potential fight, I'm interested enough, really, but not as a main event. It's just not worth a main event slot unless it's basically a co-main event with another good fight. But I'm sure if it's made HBO will be interested -- Paulie's popular, and Devon still just has the one official loss, and the talk by then should make it more attractive. Malignaggi is good at stirring up boxing fans.
Here's the latest from Malignaggi and Phil Lo Greco in Sicily. So far, I think this is the most pub that Lo Greco has received during his boxing career:

I guess my story begins a couple of years back when I was first diagnosed with panic disorder. I had begun to have recurrent panic attacks in my classes, and it had gotten to the point that I couldn't even make it forty minutes sitting in a classroom without having a complete breakdown. I constantly felt like I couldn't sit still, like I couldn't breathe because I was always so wired up with the adrenaline coursing through my body. I just wanted it all to end, and there were dark moments where I wondered what I wouldn't give to get a little bit of relief from all the anxiety and ups and downs of every single day. I would break down some nights because I was always so scared that this was going to be my life forever, this constant cycle of misery and panic. And I didn't know what I was going to do if it was.

August 26, 2003Plains-- A thirty year old car is the wave of the future. It's using a cooking product for its fuel. Imagine taking oil leftover from a fish fry and using it to fuel your car. One Atlanta man is doing it.
Robert Del Bueno drives his 1974 Mercedes all over and doesn't worry about skyrocketing gas prices, "I'm probably paying somewhere around forty to fifty cents a gallon for my fuel." Del Bueno doesn't pay $1.60 at the pump for a gallon of diesel like everyone else--he gets the raw product for free.
"Currently I'm getting it from an Atlanta restaurant and bar that has a frier and I'm collecting their waste frier oil." Through a simple and cheap chemical process, Del Bueno turns used vegetable oil into a biodiesel fuel.
"In this car because it is an older car, it makes a little white smoke because the engine is cold. As it warms up, you won't see any smoke like a diesel vehicle." The stickers on Del Bueno's car testify to the fact that biodiesel fuel burns cleaner, but there is another added benefit--the smell.
"It's basically the burning of the vegetable oil, so it kind of smells like your grilling out." An environmentally friendly car, that smells a little like a cook-out--not a bad combination.
No modifications to the car's engine were made to accommodate the biodiesel fuel. As long as your car is a diesel, you can use the cleaner burning fuel. Of course, you will have to make it too. There are no biodiesel fuel stations in Georgia.
That biodiesel car is getting the attention of several Georgia lawmakers and former President Jimmy Carter.
President Carter met with agribusiness leaders and policy makers in Plains Tuesday to talk about producing biodiesel fuel here in Georgia. Each year, the state produces about 55 million gallons of oilseeds and animal fats that can be used to produce biodiesel fuel.
President Carter insists gas prices will only increase and says the time is now to make biodiesel fuel in Georgia, "We are now at the mercy of foreign suppliers. With problems in Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Nigeria, places most Americans never think about, we are at their mercy. I would like to get away from that."
State lawmakers at the conference say there is a potential for biodiesel legislation.
Although the former President does not have a car, he says he would like to see his Secret Service agents driving vehicles that use the environmentally-friendly fuel.

A high school is turned upside down by tragedy when one of its students is killed by another who was texting while driving.
Bridging the gap between education and entertainment, "Jenny's Reasons" provides a haunting look at teen depression and the often unwitting family dynamics that surround it.
The powerful, award-winning short finds its main character, Jenny, in the throes of clinical depression, unable to understand the reasons she "feels so bad all the time". Deeply confused and desperately overwhelmed, Jenny makes plans to end her life - plans that are ultimately thwarted when her best friend, Tanya, confronts her and shares a dark secret of her own.
The second episode in the award-winning "Maple Ave" series focuses on teen bullying and the tragedies inherent when parents as well as their teens unfairly label one another.
Jim has reached the edge of violence after being the victim of incessant bullying. Unfortunately, Jim's family doesn't help him cope with his problems and things get progressively worse. In contrast, Jenny's family engages in healthy confrontations as they cope with their concerns following Jenny's period of depression, from the episode "Jenny's Reasons".
In this award-winning episode, series character, Ashley resorts to "cutting" to cope with an abusive father, who's regularly victimized her family as far back as she can remember.
Like a growing number of teens nationwide, Ashley regularly cuts her arms and legs, substituting her overwhelming inner pain and rage with an external pain that she is seemingly better able to manage. This last illusion is finally dispelled in a heart-wrenching finale that finds a desperate Ashley reaching out to a sympathetic teacher, Ms. Tanner, for help.
This award-winning episode focuses on series regular, Tanya and the toll her family situation has taken on her in the year and a half following her older brother's suicide.
During this time, Tanya has been coping by helping others, but gradually this proves not to be enough, and she turns to drinking to ease her pain, in between haunting dreams about her dead brother. Ultimately, things get out of control and her best friend, Jenny intervenes to get her friend some much-needed help.
Angela and her friends take every opportunity to make Tami's life miserable, even going so far as to pose as a boy interested in Tami on a social networking site. During the film, we are also introduced to Tami and Angela's respective parents, ultimately providing clues to their behavior and various life stressors.
While Tami's hyper-competitve parents continually pressure their "A" student daughter to be the best at everything, Angela's single Mom appears more interested in being her daughter's best friend than her parents.
All the while, sympathetic teacher Ms. Hutchinson has been attempting to reach out to Tami but finds her reluctant to open up. In a dramatic turn of events, Angela's cruel prank is uncovered - but is it too late?
Living in the shadow of his older brother's past athletic glories, Donnie turns to steroid abuse to help him "measure up" on the basketball court. Not long after, he finds his life slowly spinning out of control as his girlfriend, Angela tries in vain to help him kick his addiction.
In the meantime, Angela is also struggling to convince her friends, Dara and Lucy, that contrary to what they've read on the internet, anorexia and bulimia are not "lifestyle choices" but, instead, serious medical disorders. Angela should know; she too once struggled with bulimia but now finds herself reluctant to share this potentially helpful fact with her two misguided friends.
Donnie's coach, Jack, is also struggling with intervening in what he suspects may be Donnie's steroid problem. However, once Jack's sister, Joy, reminds him of her son's tragic loss to drugs, he is forced to reconsider his position. Focusing on body image issues via steroid abuse and eating disorders, "More Than This" also strongly emphasizes the importance of doing right by others - even when it's personally difficult.
Ann is forced to face the grim reality that her parents' addictions of alcoholism and problem gambling are slowly destroying her family. While her older brother Mike's quiet stoicism is sorely tested by their alcoholic mother's denial of reality, Ann's own initial reluctance is also an issue. However, after Ann's father gambles away her college fund, she can no longer avoid the truth - and soon grows deeply depressed. Though her brother and best friend, Tami sense something's wrong, will they be in time to avert a potential tragedy?
'Loves Me Not' focuses on dating/domestic violence from the POV of a 17 year old deceased victim named Cari.
Cari was relentlessly beaten by her boyfriend, Marcos, and so viciously bullied by his friends after leaving him that she, ultimately, took her own life.
Now Cari finds herself helplessly watching the same thing happen all over again to another girl, Sharon (Marcos' new girlfriend). Between her manipulative and violent boyfriend and her self-absorbed parents, Sharon would appear to have the deck stacked against her - but her best friend, Tina refuses to give up on her.
Even as Sharon pushes her away, Tina desperately searches for a way to save her friend from meeting the same fate as Cari.
'After I'm Gone' takes a revealing and insightful look at teen suicide from the perspective of Cari (see 'Loves Me Not'); a young girl who appears to have taken her life due to relentless abuse from her parents and peers.
As Cari observes life from the other side, she meets Christine, an older more rebellious spirit, who reluctantly acts as her guide and confidante. Together they observe Michael, an artist friend of Cari's, who has also been the victim of bullying and abusive parents.
As a desperate Michael begins to contemplate suicide, a helpless Cari is suddenly forced to revisit her own nightmares,...and find a way home.
In this Emmy nominated tenth and final film in the Maple Ave series, teen ghost Christine Dawn has her hands full when the spirit of a student recently killed by a distracted driver needs her help to find closure for his embittered, grieving sister. When Christine discovers that the distracted driver was a fellow student, she knows she has her work cut out for her in a High School turned upside down by tragedy.

Reviews"I just watched 'Jenny's Reasons' and was very moved by it. These are such complex times - hard for adults to navigate so it must be especially difficult for teens. This video provides a wonderful opportunity to have dialog with teens about depression and the emotions they are feeling. I liked the fact that the depression Jenny was feeling was hard for her to understand and that it illustrated the guilt that she felt over feeling depressed when 'so many others in the world face much worse.' This video and the others in the 'Maple Ave' collection offer us unique opportunities to address real issues that teenagers face in today's complex world. These can serve as teaching tools that harness the power of television and address a real issue that is often not understood. I know that various community agencies that work with teenagers would find these resources invaluable. Thanks again for sending them.'- Kim Kelling Engstrom, Education and Outreach Manager, WFSU, Tallahassee, FL'MAPLE AVE really opened my eyes to the many issues that teens face today. It's been a few years - well, more like several years - since I was a teenager, and their issues are really a lot more complex today than when I was their age! MAPLE AVE's shows are very informative for anyone wanting to understand today's youth, and especially for someone working with teens like I currently do.'- Wendy Winks, Regional Director Southern California, Paul Green School of Rock Music'I grew up surrounded by the many issues your videos face, especially depression and self injury, I just wanted to say the videos are really good, they hit really close to home (made me cry) This is tough stuff..... Things DO get better, which is the reason WHY I like your videos, they provide Hope, and THAT's what more youth need to witness...'- Ashley R., 'Maple Ave' DVD viewer

Seems like they are still in slow motion. I can't believe the fast break attemps that have gone for naught. And why, oh why are they still missing so many lay ups. DUNK the stupid ball, my goodness! And am I the only one who has a hard time listening to Quin Buckner do commentator on T.V.? I 've always liked him as a player, a nice person, but not a commentator. He says such stupid things.

I saw an episode of The Rifleman with Sammy Davis Jr. Was he really that fast with a gun?

Mike Miller thought knee injury was serious
By Ethan J. Skolnick
They played and roomed together at the University of Florida, and signed with the Heat this summer with the intent to team up again. Yet, five months into the NBA season, Udonis Haslem and Mike Miller still haven't shared the floor in a game. Instead, they're sharing the training room again.
Miller, who has missed time with wrist and head injuries, as well as a sinus infection, sat out Tuesday's game after twisting his left knee Sunday against Houston. Erik Spoelstra called it a bruise and sprain, and said he wasn't sure that Miller would play Wednesday against Washington.
"It's a lot better than we thought it was," Miller told The Palm Beach Post before Tuesday's game. "A lot better. I was worried before the MRI."
At most, Miller will play 44 games this season, fewest of his career.
"It's crazy," he said. "Just one of those years."
He sat in the locker room in between Mario Chalmers – who said he felt "pretty good" after a shooting-intensive morning workout and could return after the road trip – and Haslem, who like Miller wore a heavy icepack over a healing injury.
After the morning shootaround, Haslem did some straight-ahead running and dunking, planting on the left foot that has kept him out since late November. The foot was sore after a hard workout Monday, and Haslem acknowledged "I can't run with these guys right now."
With that said, he sounded more optimistic than he has of late.
"I'm definitely making strides, heading in the right direction," Haslem said. "I'm a lot further along than I thought I'd be."
Spoelstra agreed with that assessment, and yet said Haslem would be evaluated "over the next month," with "week-to-week" updates.
The playoffs start in less than three weeks.

[ More Details ]
Let's Look
- What is going on in this picture?
- Which animals and people seem close? Which seem farther away?
- If you could step into this landscape, how would it feel?
- What kind of relationship do the people and animals share? How can you tell?
Let's Look Again
- How are the trees and ground different in the two scenes? Why might that be?
- How did Hicks draw our eyes from one scene to the next? What separates the two scenes?
- How do the words in the border relate to the images?
- Edward Hicks also painted signs for a living. How is this picture like a sign? How is it different?
Connect and Compare
- How were the Europeans' and the Lenni Lenape's concepts of land ownership different? How might that have affected their land agreements? Do you think land should belong to one person or to all who live on it?
- Research the relationship between Quakers and American Indians in the years following their treaty. What other treaties were made? How and why were the Lenni Lenape forced to leave their homeland?
- Research the history and culture of the Lenni Lenape tribe through the present day.
- Research the life of William Penn. What were his life experiences? What were his religious and political beliefs? What values did he promote in Pennsylvania?
Related Art ProjectCreate peaceful paintings inspired by the work of Edward Hicks. First, look at art reproductions in print or online to find harmonious color palettes. Which seem most peaceful? Select a color palette and experiment mixing colors to achieve this palette. Then examine printouts of Hicks's painting. Using a small viewfinder (paper or board with a rectangle cut out of the center), select a detail (people, animals, or a landscape element) that seems especially peaceful. Tape the viewfinder to the printout so that it frames the detail. Taking inspiration from the detail, paint an image in the chosen palette

In all the hoopla surrounding UFC 145, Dana White made a major announcement about UFC 146 late last night - Alistair Overeem was out of his title fight with Junior dos Santos, and Frank Mir was in on May 26th. It never takes linemakers long to jump on major new fights, and this case was no different. Sportsbook.com put out their line early this morning, and JDS is a monster favorite (widget courtesy of BestFightOdds.com):
Mir had been expected to face off with Cain Velasquez in the co-main event, but now Cain will have to get a new opponent. It's not really a surprise that Junior would be this big of a favorite - Mir's chin has been cracked before, and JDS hits extremely hard. Mir has excellent skills on the ground though, most recently submitting Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira with a kimura (actually, he just snapped his arm) at UFC 140.

A pill could hold the answer to preventing millions of children from getting daily injections for diabetes.
The National Institutes of Health is hoping to prove the pill's usefulness in a study at Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford University Medical Center. Every six months, children at high risk of diabetes go to those centers to take a glucose tolerance test and get their blood checked to see if any are developing diabetes. Between checks, half of the kids in the study are taking a glucose pill every day.
Darrell Wilson, M.D., a Pediatric Endocrinologist, says, "It seems to have the possibility of interacting with the immune system to kind of quiet down or slow down the attack on the cells that make insulin."
No one knows which children are actually getting glucose in a pill or a placebo. The study is looking to see if can delay the onset of diabetes for at least two to three years in children who have a parent or siblings with the disease. Dr. Wilson says that they are hoping to find that oral insulin may even prevent some high-risk patients from ever developing diabetes.

It Brit and style icon Alexa Chung was tapped to host the event, which was sponsored by Calvin Klein Inc. and the Calvin Klein Family Foundation. An FIT alum, Klein recently gifted $2 million to the program.
The show included approximately eighty-five looks and was live-streamed to FIT campuses all over the world. A front row packed with designers and industry leaders likely inspired a few butterflies backstage— Klein, Francisco Costa, Rebecca Minkoff, and Anya Ziourova were all in attendance.
"I knew it would be good, but I didn't know it would be that good," Chung told Style.com after the show. "I thought Sarah Conlon's silvery-gold pleated skirt [above, left] was brilliant." She wasn't the only fan. Minkoff selected Conlon as her Critic Award winner in sportswear. Another standout look was Grace Cox's neon-pink sweater coat, which featured a thick, intricate weave and frayed edges. It earned Cox the Best Use of Color Award by Siempre Mujer's editor in chief, Maria Cristina Marrero. A slew of ethereal lingerie pieces also drew praise from the crowd. Danielle Ortiz won the Critic Award in intimate apparel for her sheer, vintage-inspired bodysuit crafted from creamy lace and blue satin. As for the cutest moment of the night? The parade of kids who stepped out for the children's wear category, red balloons in hand. Their miniature fur coats, doll-like dresses, and fringed vests looked like they were plucked from our fall wish list.
As an ambassador to the British Fashion Council, Chung is used to spotting young talent on her home turf, citing Emilia Wickstead as a new favorite. "I work with the BFC to sort of champion young London designers, and this was an amazing opportunity to do that in New York City. I didn't know that anyone knew who I was here, which is nice," she joked. "I thought it was wonderful. I was incredibly impressed."
Mexico City on the Mind-------
Mexico City is rapidly emerging as a—if not the—hotbed for emerging art, fashion, and design. It boasts one of the globe's highest concentrations of museums, features cutting-edge architecture (check out Museo Soumaya, a hull-like structure plated in honeycomb blocks designed by the firm FR-EE), and just yesterday, received attention in a front-page New York Times article about its increasing attractiveness for expatriate artists and entrepreneurs. It seems the metropolis has appealed to designers, too, as traces of Mexico City popped up on a host of Spring '14 runways.
While such labels as Rodebjer and Rebecca Minkoff pulled inspiration from Mexico, the biggest splash belonged to Prada (as big splashes often do). Signora Miuccia commissioned a panel of muralists to paint her set with giant faces, which were replicated on dresses, skirts, and coats. Prada reported that political art out of Mexico—particularly the work of Diego Rivera—served as a strong source of inspiration, and the collection's first look featured a print by Mexican street artist Stinkfish.
At House of Holland, Henry Holland paid homage to Baz Luhrmann's 1996 hit Romeo + Juliet, much of which was filmed in Mexico City. Splendid hues and religious motifs weren't compromised, thanks to prints—which nodded to Mexico's deep Catholic roots—by L.A.-based tattoo artist Alex Garcia.
Considering that Annette and Phoebe Stephens—the duo behind New York-based jewelry line Anndra Neen—were raised in Mexico City, it is perhaps not surprising that notes from their childhood emerged in their latest offering. Spring '14′s sculptural shields, triangular necklaces, and woven metal wares were reportedly inspired by Ron Fricke's 1992 globe-trotting documentary Baraka. The designers, who produce the line in Mexico City's Zona Rosa neighborhood, embraced not just Mexican artisanship but Namibian and MENA crafts as well. To top it off, the Stephens sisters showed their new range alongside their personal collection of Rivera works—the exact artist that led Ms. Prada, thousands of miles away in Milan, to her own effort.
Can't Beat the Real Thing-------
Despite last night's spontaneous blizzard, designers and fashion fixtures headed to Finale NYC to fête the launch of eBay and the CFDA's 2013 You Can't Fake Fashion tote collection. Marking the pair's third collaborative effort to fight counterfeits and support authentic design, the new range features 90 one-of-a-kind canvas tote bags that have been customized by designers like Prabal Gurung (above, center), Pamela Love, Band of Outsiders' Scott Sternberg (above, right), and Rodarte's Kate and Laura Mulleavy (above, left). The designer-embellished bags are available for purchase via eBay auction through March 25 for a starting price of $100. The initiative is also offering a new standard tote for a "buy it now" price of $50. Proceeds will go toward combating fakes.
"As artists, we work so hard to create something, and then it gets knocked off," said Rebecca Minkoff. "This is a great platform to ensure authenticity." Carly Cushnie of Cushnie et Ochs concurs, and suggested that there's security in knowing her and her design partner Michelle Ochs' work is protected. "The CFDA has a voice that brings everyone together to preserve design integrity," she said.
In addition to the likes of CFDA CEO Steven Kolb, Jeffrey Costello, Robert Tagliapietra, and Rebecca Taylor, Ruffian's Brian Wolk and Claude Morais turned up to rally for the cause. And, according to Morais, they have a particularly special relationship with eBay. "We're always using the site as a reference point. Right now it's all about the 1920s and the hunt for the perfect embroidered dress." We're sensing a Jazz Age vibe for the team's Spring '14.
Decoding Fashion in the Digital Age-------
As New York fashion week drew to a close yesterday, the digital world descended upon Lincoln Center for the first-ever Decoded Fashion Forum to discuss innovation in fashion and technology. Featuring tech and fashion titans alike, the panel included designer Zac Posen, Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley, and Rebecca Minkoff CEO Uri Minkoff, each of whom discussed the benefits and challenges of business in a digital age. Among the topics: redefining e-commerce, forecasting trends online, and the power of social media. "We live in a voyeuristic culture where communication is king," said Posen, who counts over 130,000 followers on Instagram. "The ability to get a visceral reaction from the customer during the creative process is thrilling and satisfying." Model and panelist Coco Rocha, who has amassed over one million followers on Google+, waxed poetic over the importance of staying genuine. "I don't have some PR company posting my photos," she told moderator and Glamour editor in chief Cindi Leive. "It's very personal." (The star of The Face also admitted to her new e-obsession: Vine, an app that allows users to share personal videos. "I'm practically the only model on there, so you all have no choice but to follow me," she instructed the audience of bloggers and digital-media types.)
The CFDA's Steven Kolb, Gilt Groupe's chairman Susan Lyne, and our own editor in chief, Dirk Standen, were also on hand to judge the forum's first annual Hackathon. (Launched earlier this month, the competition challenged five hundred applicants to create an original app that supports the global growth of American fashion). After the five finalists debuted brief presentations to master of ceremonies Candy Pratts Price, the judges awarded first prize to SWATCHit, a peer-to-peer platform connecting global designers with emerging-market artisans and overseas producers. The winnings? A $10,000 prize and an opportunity to have the app launched by the CFDA. "Everyone is looking for the next best answer in closing the loophole between fashion and technology," said Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who co-founded the forum with Liz Bacelar. "To anchor fashion week with an event that brings together all these talented people from different worlds is critical to the industry. This is the wave of the future."
Decoded Fashion Forum: Live Stream-------
NYFW just got techy. Last week, the world's first Fashion Hackathon united developers, designers and entrepreneurs with insider knowledge of the fashion industry. The intent was for these individuals in the know to come up with an app that could support the global growth of American fashion. Today at the Decoded Fashion Forum, the five best teams of fash-app innovators will be judged on their work by leaders like the CFDA's Steven Kolb, designer Zac Posen, Gilt Groupe's Chairman Susan Lyne, Rebecca Minkoff'S CEO Uri Minkoff, and Style.com's own Dirk Standen. Tune in to today's live panel from 10 through 2 p.m. to learn how we can tackle challenges in the fashion industry through technology, and, of course, to see who wins the Hackathon.

Sky magazineThursday, June 12th, 2008
My mother-in-law flew to North Carolina from Texas yesterday for a visit. I was thrilled that she was on Delta because this month, my book is featured in Sky magazine, Delta's in-flight. Getting that kind of exposure for a new author and a new book is priceless. When she called from Atlanta, though, to tell me her flight was being delayed, she also shared that there were no magazines on the flight — in what appeared to be an attempt to save on fuel costs by trimming the weight of several hundred magazines. Perhaps that was the case on that one flight. But magazines were on the flight from Atlanta to Greensboro, and they are on flights internationally today. Yes, airlines are carrying less water, fewer bottled drinks, and even swapping out seats to save weight. But the magazines, especially Delta Sky, are still in the seatback pockets.

I love supermarkets, its something about them being a big place with cheap prices. Yes, I'm weird. For most of my life growing up with my parents we shopped exclusively at Tesco (the closest Sainsbury's is quite a while away). Since living in London my local became Sainsbury's (no idea where the closest Tescos is, lots of Metros but they don't count). Initially I was worried that Sainsbury's would be expensive compared to Tesco, it has that reputation in most peoples minds. After shopping there I was pretty sure it was comparable to Tesco, however whenever I suggest this to people they disagree. I'm a very economical shopper, about 65% of my shopping is Sainsbury's Basics, the rest Sainsbury's 'normal'. No brand names, unless for some special offer where the brand is cheaper. So this showdown is very much Tesco Value vs. Sainsbury's Basics. Also to cut back on shopping trips I normally shop to cover 3+ weeks (I get fresh veg from Sainsbury's local when I run out).
I don't normally food shop online (Sainsbury's is close and when I want the food, I want it now) However it crossed my mind, if I shopped online I could order from Tesco, maybe that'll save me money? There is no reason sticking to Sainsbury's if they deliver it to me. Also maybe online prices are cheaper? So..I ran a test. Doing the exact shop I need now, first in Sainsbury's with the usual items, then Tesco, trying to match products.
Results Sainsbury's £69.33 | Tesco £73.92
Not a huge surprise, I'd have loved it if Tesco was cheaper cause I could go save myself some money. What is surprising is how many products where identical prices and quantities. Possibly the same product re-packaged. Some products didn't match perfectly, but I made sure to find the cheapest version. If I was comparing a Sainsbury's Basic item I would first look for a Tesco Value alternative, if not available I would go to Tesco 'normal' brand. There was the lack of a 'normal' pesto in Tesco so the cheapest was the Bertolli brand.
Obviously this is a very small scale sample and by no means definitive, except for me and what I buy. One thing that could change figures is the taste difference between shops 'normal' and Basic/Value range. For example Sainsbury's basic pasta sauce is not good, very sweet. Having not tried Tesco basic pasta sauce I can't judge, but if its good, I would buy it and save. I was rather shocked that even for a £70 order Sainsbury's charged £3.50-5.50 and Tesco £3-6 (depending on time of day) for delivery. This negates the idea that it might be cheaper to shop online. As far as the websites Sainsbury's had a slicker interface.
Just come back from an actually Sainsbury's shop and as I expected the prices on the site are same as in-store, no special online offers that effected my basket. Interesting how Tesco's main advertising angle is money saving 'Every Little Helps' vs. Sainsbury's 'Taste the Difference' however when it comes to the crunch they are one in the same.
Update 08/06/09: I re-posted this on MoneySavingExpert.com and a lively discussions ensued.

Buffalo Bills (0-1) at Green Bay Packers (1-0)
When: 1:00 p.m. Sunday, CBS
SB Nation Bills: Buffalo Rumblings
SB Nation Packers: Acme Packing Company
Breakdown: This game shouldn't be close. The Bills are clearly a rebuilding and struggling team but showed some fight against the Dolphins. However, the Packers think of themselves as an elite team so they should be able to move the ball relatively well, even if they are adjusting to the loss of Ryan Grant.
Player to Watch: Brandon Jackson is replacing Ryan Grant, who was lost for the season. How the Packers handle his loss will be key moving forward. Jackson's not quite the runner Grant is but can catch some balls out of the backfield.
Line: Packers are 12.5 point favorites.
Prediction: There's really no reason to think the Packers won't win this game by two scores or more.
