Traffic Safety Researcher Porter Gets Grant for Seat-Belt Study
Seat belt use is believed to lag behind the average in rural areas of Virginia, and Old Dominion University researcher Bryan Porter has been commissioned to study the problem.
Virginia Gov. Timothy Kaine announced earlier this month the distribution of $17 million in federal funds to promote traffic safety, and Porter leads an ODU research team that will get nearly $200,000. Recipients include most of the state's localities, state agencies, non-profit groups and educational institutions.
Porter, associate professor of psychology, is known internationally for his research into the psychological underpinnings of dangerous driving habits. His work has assessed automatic photo-enforcement to reduce red-light running, and he also has been commissioned by the state to help bolster the "Click It or Ticket" program to encourage seatbelt use, as well as anti-drunk driving initiatives.
The ODU professor is regularly featured as a source for traffic-safety media reports. The Washington Post quoted him in its story of Sept. 10 about the governor's latest distribution of funds for programs aimed at encouraging safe driving.
Porter told the Post that these programs, such as "Click It or Ticket," help explain why the state's roads are getting safer.
"It's a combination of higher seat-belt use, better technology in the cars, probably better roads and possibly people slowing down to conserve gas," he told the Post. "Wearing a safety belt is the easiest thing a passenger or driver can do to increase their odds of surviving a crash."
Nevertheless, he said, national and state statistics show that 15 to 20 percent of drivers do not buckle up.
The latest grant will support efforts of Porter's research group to identify portions of the state, typically rural areas, where drivers are less likely to use seat belts. The team will continue work already underway to develop awareness campaigns and enforcement strategies to promote safe driving.

Canadian bobsleigh hero takes first test runs at The Whistler Sliding Centre
Pierre Lueders, four-time Olympian and the most decorated slider in Canadian history, and brakeman Justin Kripps participated in the christening of The Whistler Sliding Centre track on the afternoon of December 19, 2007, making some of the first runs at the new venue.
"What a rush… and what a privilege to be the first ones down the newest Canadian sliding track," said Lueders. "I've driven every track in the world and each one has its own personality. The Whistler track was challenging and will unquestionably test the skills of the world's best sliding athletes." Lueders and Kripps, who is new to Lueders' crew this year, have their sights set on gold for the 2010 Games.
Peak to Peak Gondola Updates
Construction is well underway on one of Whistler Blackcomb's landmark projects and Canada's newest tourism icon, the Peak to Peak Gondola. This autumn, Peak to Peak crews expect to complete concrete pours at the terminal sites located at Blackcomb Mountain's Rendezvous Lodge and Whistler Mountain's Roundhouse Lodge. They also expect to have towers Two and Three erected before the 2007/2008 winter season. Construction will resume in April 2008 and is scheduled to wrap up in time for a December 2008 grand opening.
"This exciting project is such a huge undertaking and one of the largest of its kind in the world," says Rick Temple, Peak to Peak Gondola project manager for Whistler Blackcomb. "The Peak to Peak Gondola project is just an entirely new horizon for Whistler Blackcomb and it's going to spark all kinds of opportunities and growth for tourism in the region."
Once completed, the gondola will become a tourism icon for British Columbia and Canada, bringing visitors from all over the world into the high alpine to experience scenic views. Supported by only four towers, the gondola will travel 4.4 kilometers (2.73 miles) in just 11 minutes ñ reaching a highest vertical point of 415 m (1,361 feet) above Fitzsimmons Creek, which is a world record. Coming in at $51 million, the Peak to Peak Gondola also breaks the world record for longest free span, with a distance of 3.024 kilometres (1.88 miles) stretching between the two towers furthest apart.

I had planned to make these Southwestern Ranch Open-Faced Turkey Sandwiches with leftover turkey from Thanksgiving, but between sandwiches and soup we used it all up. I didn't want to miss out on these sandwiches so I bought deli turkey, which was just fine.
These are definitely a knife-and-fork sandwich, which disappointed SP. He was hoping for a traditional sandwich. Next time I'll use less ingredients per sandwich and maybe cook them panini-style. I'm also thinking about adding bacon (thanks for the idea, Cassie) and switching the avocado slices to guacamole or an avocado spread for easier eating. No matter how you assemble them, these are truly delicious.
Southwestern Ranch Open-Faced Turkey Sandwiches
Cassie Craves
6 slices sandwich bread
1 packet ranch dressing mix
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream
3/4 to 1 pound turkey, thinly sliced
2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
3/4 cup shredded pepper jack or Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
2 ripe avocados, sliced
Juice of 1 lime
Toast bread in toaster or under the broiler. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, combine ranch dressing mix, chili powder, and cumin. Stir in mayonnaise and sour cream.
Cover a baking sheet with tinfoil. Place bread on baking sheet and spread 1 tablespoon of the sauce on each slice. Top with sliced turkey and 1 more tablespoon of the sauce. Top with cheese and tomatoes.
Bake for 15 minutes until cheese is melted. Top each sandwich with sliced avocado and a spritz of lime juice.

News: Lil Duval On Gucci Mane's Twitter Return: "It's Definitely A Girl Tweeting For Him"
Monday, Sep 23, 2013 11:55AM
Southern hip-hop comedian Lil Duval has offered a take on Gucci Mane making an unexpected return to his Twitter page over the weekend after terminating the account in mid-September.
Although quick and brief with his point, the comedic tweeter suggested Gucci has likely relied on a female to handle his apologetic tweets.
"It's definitely a girl tweeting for Gucci mane right now. Women are so obvious," he tweeted September 22.
"I usually proofread after I send the tweet out and y'all tell me" (Lil Duval's Twitter)
The Atlanta hip-hop heavyweight hopped onto the social media outlet to openly apologize for his publicized actions over the weekend.
"Woke up the other day out this hospital bed & I'm so embarrassed & ashamed of my behavior that was brought to my attention. (Cont)," he tweeted September 22.
"I just wanna man up right now & take this time to apologize to my family, friends, the industry & most of all my fans. I'm SORRY! (Cont)"
"I've been drinking lean for 10plus years & I must admit it has destroyed me. I wanna be the first rapper to admit (cont)"
"I'm addicted to lean & that sh*t ain't no joke. I can barely remember all the things I've done & said. However there's no excuse. (Cont)" (Gucci Mane's Twitter)
The rapper also revealed he is behind bars and will seek medical help.
"I'm currently incarcerated but I will be going to rehab because I need help. I wanna thank everyone that has stood by me (cont)"
"during this difficult time. Please keep me in your prayers. #GUWOP"
"I wanna personally apologize to birdman ross & drake. Dem my n*ggas. I 100% regret my words & actions ."
"Keyshia Dior Kaoir I'm sorry. Please forgive me" (Gucci Mane's Twitter)
A couple weeks ago, it appeared Gucci finally decided to delete the page after a handful of disses and bizarre statements.
It looks like Gucci Mane, 33, scares easy! Nicki Minaj, 30, Iggy Azalea, and rapper Tyga all fired shots back at Gucci after his insanely inappropriate Twitter rant on Sept. 9, and Gucci responded by completely shutting down his Twitter account just two days later. Guess he couldn't take the heat! No one seemed to buy Gucci's claims that he had sex with Nicki, Keyshia Cole, rapper Tyga's girlfriend, and a long list of others. Some even believe his tweets were just a publicity stunt to boost album sales or get his career going again after he was dropped from Atlantic Records. Whatever the reason behind the rant was, Gucci seems to regret it because he deleted his Twitter account on Sept. 11. It seems the backlash was just too much for him. (Hollywood Life)

'Mission: Impossible 5' gets Christmas 2015 release
Originally published: Nov 14, 2013 - 4:16 pm
The studio announced the film will have a Dec. 25, 2015 release date, which will make it a very busy holiday season for director J.J. Abrams. According to Variety, "Star Wars: Episode VII," also directed by Abrams, debuts in theaters just one week before.
It's certainly a good way to kill two birds with one stone. Two very stealthy birds with laser eyes and lightsaber wings.
Tom Cruise will reprise his role as spy Ethan Hunt, while the return of actors Jane Carter, William Brandt and Luther Stickell is still rumored.
The release will come about four years after the franchise's fourth installment, "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol." That film brought in $700 million after its release.
After five films in the franchise, we're beginning to think those missions aren't so impossible for agent Hunt. But another chance to see Tom Cruise onscreen, who's complaining?

"Mr. Villegas, did you murder Ms. Castillo?" The man in handcuffs did not respond.
His hands and feet chained, Mariano Villegas arrived for an appointment with justice 17 years late. "You have the right to remain silent," said Judge Bob Blackburn. Arraigned in the Lubbock County Court House, Villegas reached for an inhaler, medicating himself as the district attorney read the fate of his alleged victim, Lucy Castillo.
"And by stabbing and cutting the said Lucy Castillo," said District Attorney Bill Sowder. "Did you stab her 57 times?," a reporter asked him. Villegas did not respond.
"It was a gruesome crime scene," said LPD Assistant Chief Thomas Esparza, recounting how Villegas slipped through the fingers of the law back in 1987. "There were some fingerprints at the scene and they were matched to him, but by the time that was done, he had already left," he said.
While on the run in Mexico, it's believed, at one point, Villegas actually held a job in law enforcement. "Early on in the investigation we received information that he had gotten some kind of job as either a municipal police officer or municipal guard in some small community in Mexico near Mexico City," said Esparza.
"The charge against you is capital murder, do you understand that?," asked Judge Blackburn. Villegas responded affirmatively.
Almost 17 years ago, Lucy Castillo was murdered. Wednesday, the man who allegedly did it, who turned justice upside down, evading it, even using it as a disguise, was humbled by it's determination. "Did you think this day would come?," a reporter asked Esparza. "No, I had a lot of concerns that it would never get here, but, it's here," he said.

It's been a helluva long time since an actual Irish-born player made it to the major leagues, so, in honor of St. Patrick's Day, I'm choosing as my representative of all things Irish an American-born player of Irish descent who, to me, looks more Irish than any player I can recall. It's Bobby Kielty, of course; last seen in the major leagues providing a huge insurance run for the Red Sox with a pinch homer in Game 4 of the 2007 World Series.
Everybody has to have a final major league at bat and less than one percent of players get to choose when it come. So, if you're one of the vast majority that don't get to choose, I can't imagine a better way of going out than this:

Guam - With a little over a
month until the Primary Election, the Guam Election Commission appears to have
solved another problem. According to executive director Maria Pangelinan, its
$74,000 debt to Election Systems & Software from the Decision 2008 election
has been paid.
She says the funds came from within the GEC's budget by working
together with the Bureau of Budget & Management Research and the Department
of Administration. From there she says Governor Eddie Calvo exercised his
transfer authority by working through the fiscal year budget act provision that
allows him to pay off prior year obligations.
By paying off the vendor, the GEC can now purchase extra ballot
stock, which it discovered it was lacking earlier this week.

Constitutional Law
Sidley Austin Represents Plaintiffs in Another School Funding Challenge
Posted Mar 24, 2010 12:32 PM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Lawyers for plaintiffs challenging the local funding system for Illinois schools say a 1996 state supreme court ruling doesn't bar their suit because of new mandates for education.
The 1996 Illinois Supreme Court decision said school funding disparities were related to the legitimate state goal of promoting local control of education, according to a press release. Since then, the Illinois legislature has enacted statewide learning standards and penalties for schools that don't measure up.
"Local control is nowhere near as local as it used to be," lawyer Alex Polikoff told the Chicago Tribune. Polikoff, who represents the plaintiffs along with the Sidley Austin law firm, is a staff lawyer for Business and Professional People for the Public Interest. Sidley's lead counsel in the suit is Scott Lassar, a former federal prosecutor.
The suit (PDF) claims that homeowners in poor neighborhoods have to pay higher tax rates to fund education than those in more affluent communities, violating the equal protection clause of the Illinois Constitution. The state picks up less than 30 percent of the cost of education in Illinois.
Another pending lawsuit filed in 2008 claims funding differences violate the civil rights of minority students.

Food truck operators to brainstorm
Dr of BBQ
Filet Mignon
2013/09/06 07:26:48
Food truck owners are typically cast as renegade operators who've taken an idiosyncratic approach to the restaurant business. But promoters of the new Roam Mobile Food Conference 2013 think these fiercely independent restaurateurs are nevertheless eager to learn best practices from their mobile food segment peers. That's why Roam is presenting the industry's first mobile food-specific conference later this month, set for Sept. 14-16 in Portland, OR.
The latest estimate from Emergent Research, who partnered with Intuit for its study, predicts that mobile food will be a $2.7 billion segment by 2017. The previous estimate, just one year old: $650 million.
1. Innovations in mobile vending.
"Learn about innovative technology, sustainability and environmentally friendly businesses practices," Roam's backers say. "Come see trends in mobile retail, adult beverages, and promotional vehicles."
2. Marketing for mobile.
In the food truck business, great marketing separates the successful from the invisible, say Roam's promoters. That's why this education track will show attendees why marketing is so important in the mobile food industry and help them discover ways to better hone marketing skills and consumer impact. Conference-goers will also explore emerging best practices for social media, online options and software applications, sponsorships, events and promotions.
3. Community development.
Here's the pitch to those who want to learn more about permitting and other vexing legal matters that can drive mobile food vendors crazy. "Want to know and learn what it takes to have the support of your city for mobile food vendors? Government policy makers as well as mobile food advocate groups, regional associations, non-profits and others can learn about best practices in laws and city ordinances. Come network and learn ways mobile vending can benefit communities, and help meet economic goals in your city." Expect strong attendance at this track's sessions.
4. Growing mobile 2.0.
As much as the mobile food segment has grown so far, it looks like even more growth is on the horizon. This track is designed to help operators grab their share. "Need help honing your skills or tightening your existing operations?" Roam organizers ask. "You will find these segments for existing mobile food owners will provide you with in-depth resources and the knowledge you need to take your business to the next level."
5. Mobile food biz 101.
"Those interested in starting mobile food businesses, and those new to the game, will find topics from business planning, to mobile unit options and costing, to solid information for running a successful and profitable mobile food business," the organizers say. In other words, this track's for newbies.

LONDON — There are times when Kiefer Sutherland barely resembles Jack Bauer.
For one thing, he smiles. Sutherland is charming and gracious as he sits with a small group of international reporters in what could pass for an interrogation room with better lighting. The room is upstairs in a converted warehouse studio in West London where Sutherland and the rest of the cast and crew are shooting 24: Live Another Day. The 12-episode, "special event" summer series begins Monday with a two-hour premiere on Fox and Global.
The 47-year-old actor thought he'd left Bauer behind in 2010 when Season 8 came to a close. There had been plenty of talk about a movie, at one point to be shot between seasons of his next series, Touch. When that show was cancelled after two seasons, and the movie re-boot stalled, Sutherland threw himself into other feature projects, including Forsaken a western shot in Alberta co-starring his famous father, Donald.
He didn't have to play Bauer again. An executive producer as well as the star, he was among the highest-paid actors in television throughout the run of that series. Besides his steady feature film career, the actor could have made a nice living purring through car ads and other voice-over work.
But, dammit, something about Bauer pulled him back in.
When executive producer Howard Gordon (Homeland) asked how he saw Bauer four years later, Sutherland replied, "harder and meaner."
"Is that even possible?" came the reply.
Sutherland got why that would be the immediate reaction. Jack Bauer was killing friends and loved ones now to protect the world from terrorism.
Still, says Sutherland, "it's always possible for someone to go darker."
Sutherland describes the time leading up to production on these new episodes as "six months of absolute fear and nervousness." TV has changed enormously in the four short years since 24 ticked down to its final seconds. Why risk the legacy of success the series already enjoyed?
"Network television has taken its lumps," the actor observes. New media companies such as Netflix drop entire series in a day. "People are finding new ways to watch television," he says. "House of Cards is a phenomenal example of that."
It was executive producer Gordon who was as relentless as Jack Bauer in making it all happen again. As Sutherland says, "Howard's a really compelling guy."
As good as the eight seasons of 24 were, "there was never a single season that Howard and I ever felt was perfect, which is what made us really interested in coming back."
Fellow executive producer and director Jon Cassar says many associated with the series always felt the middle episodes "were kind of like treading water a little bit." With this shorter, summer run, "you don't get that," says Cassar. "You're gonna get 12 really great, tight hours."
So the plan to bring the show back as a limited run series — not unlike cable shows such as True Detective but also the new network norm with Under the Dome and The Following — helped clinch the deal. Sutherland could commit to six months in England instead of the 11-plus he would spend helping to shape 24 episodes a year of 24.
A change of scenery, especially shooting in London, was also a factor. Besides the fun of having Bauer chasing terrorists in front of Big Ben or the Tower of London, the actor was back in the city of his birth. "It's great," he says, "when they let me go through the British line at customs."
Finally, there was age. Sutherland could hear the 24 clock ticking louder than anyone. Already a grandfather at 47, he felt it was now or never.
"I'm getting old."

Dozens of people gathered in Floyd County on Sunday to protest George Zimmerman's acquittal in the killing of Trayvon Martin. Participants marched through the center of Rome along Broad Street. Protestors expressed their frustration with the jury's verdict in the case, and many called for federal action against Zimmerman. Others are focused on the need for healing and moving forward, and renewal of a culture of nonviolence. The event in Rome follows Saturday's prayer vigil and rally in downtown Atlanta, and more than 100 other rallies held in cities across the country.

Smart Money Moves for Your Home
Find out how real estate is valued and which remodeling projects payback the most at resale.
Page 1 of 2
Today's topic is about real estate valuation and which home-improvement projects will bring you the most "bang for your buck" at resale.
Don't Over-Improve
One of the most important real estate tips I can give you is to never over-improve a property. Over-improvement is putting more money into your home relative to the value of similar properties in your immediate neighborhood.
In terms of getting the most value for the size and features of your home, it's actually better not to be the biggest, most expensive house on the block. If you have a smaller or less expensive home in a neighborhood of more valuable homes, their market value will tend to pull yours up.
Let's say you want to remodel your bathroom and it's going to cost $15,000. Does that mean that after the remodel you can sell your home or condo for $15,000 more than before the remodel? Usually, the answer is no. You rarely get a dollar-for-dollar increase in market value from remodeling projects.
To understand why this is the case, I'll give you a brief overview of how real estate is valued. There are three approaches or methods used by licensed real estate appraisers:
- Cost approach
- Sales comparison approach
- Income capitalization approach
The analysis and calculation of each approach results in a different valuation. The appraiser then applies a weighted average to the three numbers to determine the property's final value estimate.
The Cost Approach
The cost approach is an objective analysis of what it would cost to rebuild the exact same structure on the exact same piece of land today. Appraisers add this replacement value to the estimated value of the land. If this were the only method used to value real estate, then spending $20,000 to upgrade your kitchen would mean your home is now worth an additional $20,000.
Sales Comparison Approach
However, the second method to appraising real estate is much more subjective than simple replacement cost. With the sales comparison approach, the appraiser considers what's going on with recent sales in the neighborhood as well as overall conditions and amenities in the surrounding communities. A property's market value is largely based on the price comparable properties have sold for within the recent past. If the "comps" don't exist to support a higher home value that you hoped a remodel would bring, you'll have difficulty selling at the higher price. This is especially true if the buyer needs a mortgage for any portion of the home purchase. Lenders rarely loan money for real estate purchases that exceed the appraised value. This underwriting guideline has become even more stringent in the current cautious lending environment that we're experiencing now.
Income Capitalization Approach
And the last method real estate appraisers use is the income capitalization approach. This analysis determines what a property is worth based on the income it does or could generate for the owner. This approach is typically only used if the property is in a rental neighborhood or is multi-family.
These three appraisal methods are used in conjunction to arrive at a final estimated value for the owner or lender. But it's important to understand that a property is ultimately worth no more than what a willing buyer will pay a willing seller.

Arizona Pension Eyes Fund-Seeding Program
Arizona Public Safety Personnel, which began investing in hedge funds only two years ago, is now contemplating seed investments in startup managers.
Ryan Parham, chief investment officer of the $6.5 billion pension system, said he hopes to get a seeding program off the ground by yearend. Still to be decided are how to structure the investments whether the pension would seek a stake in the business, a cut of profits, or what and how much to invest in each manager. The pension's hedge fund consultant, Albourne Partners, would advise Parham on manager selection.
It would be a big move for Arizona Public Safety Personnel, considering that few public pensions of any size have ventured into the high risk/reward realm of seed investing. Calpers, for instance, has given serious thought to seeding hedge funds, but has yet to make any investments. New York Common Fund is currently searching for a manager to run a seeding program.
The Arizona pension has been steadily growing its hedge fund portfolio since making its initial investments in early 2009. Most recently, it allocated $40 million last month to an emerging-market debt fund called Iguazu Partners.
It's unclear how much the pension has invested in hedge funds overall, since it doesn't have a separate hedge fund portfolio. Instead, it invests opportunistically across its entire portfolio. Research firm Preqin recently pegged the pension's hedge fund assets at about $470 million, but that was before the Iguazu investment.
The pension has exposure to more than 70 managers, both through funds of funds and direct investments. Among the managers it works with are Davidson Kempner, FrontPoint Partners, LSV Advisors, Luxor Capital and Och-Ziff Capital. Parham told the pension's board last month that he planned to maintain a $75 million investment in FrontPoint, despite a federal investigation into insider trading. FrontPoint hasn't been accused of wrongdoing.
Once the seeding program gets going, Parham and his team are expected to lean toward proprietary-trading teams cut loose by Wall Street banks. Parham said he has talked to several other public pensions that might be interested in investing alongside Arizona Public Safety Personnel.
A Preqin study released last month found large institutional investors such as pensions and endowments are increasingly interested in backing hedge fund managers via seed deals. Since the financial crisis, capital-starved managers have been eager to sell pieces of their business or a cut of profits often on terms seen as very favorable to seed investors.
The Preqin study, based on a survey of 1,000 institutional investors, found 21% are interested in making seed investments up from 11% the year before.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - There are new developments on a story KCBD NewsChannel 11 first brought you on Monday of a Lubbock man who came home to find the majority of his roof missing.
"I never talked to anyone about getting a roof done, not at all," says Ben Moss.
Moss lives at 1908 77th Street. He filed a police report and found out from neighbors that a roofing crew was spotted one street over at a house with the same address on that day.
Moss called the company working on the house one block over and they told him they were working on 77th Place on Saturday, not Friday, and were never on 77th Street.
NewsChannel 11 has learned from the City of Lubbock that no permits were filed for either address in question.
According to the City of Lubbock Building Inspection Department, it is illegal to do roofing repairs or replacement without a permit. According to the City of Lubbock website:
NewsChannel 11 contacted the construction company and they told us there was a mistake when filing for the permit, and has since been settled.
If you plan on having any roofing repairs, be sure to ask if the construction company has a permit. You can also check for yourself by calling 311 and asking for building inspections.

Recently, an article about aspirin and cancer risk was published in the medical journal Annals of Oncology. It has received a lot of attention in the press, including local television right here in Greenville. Headlines have said that an aspirin a day can "dramatically" reduce the risk of colon cancer. I want to review the study and take a closer look at the benefits and risks discussed in the study.
n this blog, we have repeatedly recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Considerable data indicate a benefit in terms of reducing the risk of cancer, feeling better and living longer. One question that comes up is which fruits and vegetables are better or worse. One view of the question is to consider pesticide residues. The Environmental Working Group publishes a list each year of the fruits and vegetables with the lowest and highest levels of pesticide residues, as reported by government testing.
Cancer. It's a word that elicits strong emotion and fear. The fear is not irrational. Cancer is a disease that has or will affect every one of us. In fact, by 2030, the number of new cancer diagnoses in the United States will have increased by 45 percent, and due to the nation's aging population, cancer will become the nation's leading cause of death.

5. Diamond Girl: Behind the Scenes of Rihanna's World Tour Wardrobe
Rihanna had a banner year when it came to fashion, culminating in becoming the face of Balmain's Spring '14 campaign. Back in March, the star kicked off her Diamonds world tour, and thanks to her stylist, Mel Ottenberg, her onstage wardrobe, which was comprised of mega-watt looks by Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci, Dior's Raf Simons, Lanvin's Alber Elbaz, and her River Island co-designer, Adam Selman, had just as much sparkle as the tour's title would suggest. Style.com's Katharine K. Zarrella spoke to Ottenberg about all seven of the singer's custom costumes and what it takes to dress the pop-culture force that is RiRi.
4. Marc Jacobs Bids Adieu to Louis Vuitton
After sixteen years at the helm of Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs stepped down from his post as creative director following his Spring '14 show for the storied house. Following his epic Spring presentation, whose all-black set incorporated pieces from his most memorable shows (remember the escalator? that carousel? the baroque elevator? they were all there), LVMH announced that Nicolas Ghesquière will be filling his shoes come Fall '14. Jacobs, in turn, will be taking his eponymous company public and further expanding the MJ empire. As the news of his departure broke, Style.com took a look back at Jacobs' greatest hits for Vuitton.
3. A.P.C.'s Jean Touitou on His New Collaboration With Kanye West
What a year it has been for Kanye West—a new album, a baby, a fiancée, a cornucopia of Margiela masks…but his most notable contribution to the fashion biz in 2013 was no doubt his collaboration with cult favorite French label A.P.C. The range of sweatshirts, tees, and denim sold out in a matter of hours and caused a veritable frenzy of discussion on the Internet. Style.com's Matthew Schneier broke the news of the team-up in July and interviewed A.P.C. founder Jean Touitou about working with Yeezy and the "Kingdom of Dopeness."
2. Roller Girl
In May, L.A.-based jewelry designer Irene Neuwirth enlisted actress Alison Brie—of Mad Men and Community fame—to put on some roller skates and show off her bohemian-luxe wares in a short film. Shot in a roller rink in New Jersey, the flick features a cameo from the designer (who admitted that her skating skills are a little shaky) as well as an original song by electro-pop trio Au Revoir Simone. The video debuted exclusively on Style.com.
And the number-one story of 2013 is…
1. Erykah Badu Fronts Givenchy's New Campaign
Riccardo Tisci surprised and pleased us all when he chose neo-soul singer Erykah Badu to front his Mert & Marcus-lensed Spring '14 Givenchy campaign, which debuted exclusively on Style.com. Matthew Schneier spoke to Tisci about the new ads, why Badu is "an icon," and the presence of women of color in fashion.
The Past Is Present: Azzedine Alaïa and Carla Sozzani on His New Store, His Forthcoming Fashion Foundation, And Their Decades-Long Friendship-------
They say that behind every great man is a woman. In Azzedine Alaïa's case, that woman is 10 Corso Como's Carla Sozzani—the designer's friend since 1979, and business adviser since 1999. Sozzani joined Alaïa for the opening of his striking new three-story Paris boutique this weekend. Set in an eighteenth-century maison on Rue de Marignan in the eighth arrondissement, the shop is nothing less than we'd expect from Alaïa: clean and minimal, with paintings by Christoph von Weyhe and luxe decor by the likes of Charlotte Perriand, Angelo Mangiarotti, Marc Newson, and Pierre Paulin. Indeed, bringing the shop to life was no small feat. But even though he's had a busy Paris fashion week (in addition to the store opening, Alaïa is the subject of a retrospective at the Musée Galliera, which opened on September 28), Alaïa shows no signs of slowing. Instead, he's looking to the future and planning to launch a foundation to help preserve and celebrate fashion history. Here, Sozzani and Alaïa speak to Style.com about their relationship, the designer's expansive vintage collection, and the new boutique.
Can you tell us a bit about your relationship?
Carla Sozzani: For me, there are two Azzedines. There's the one who's my chosen family—we'll be friends all our life. And then there is the artist, the master. I love them both, for different reasons.
Azzedine Alaïa: Carla was behind this boutique; it's thanks to her. But putting fashion aside, she is a great friend and a rare woman.
How did you choose this space?
CS: Azzedine wants to make his home in the Marais a foundation and museum for his clothes, his work, and his collections. He has compiled a huge amount of Vionnet, Balenciaga, Margiela, Comme des Garçons, African art. He agreed to this space, which is really like a house, because there are no shop windows. There's a garden. It lets him be free. Azzedine always says that the best thing France ever gave him was citizenship, so he's always happy to give back.
How did you begin collecting?
A.A.: In the beginning, I never considered myself a collector. It's just that when I discover something I like, I want to learn more about it. It just so happened that when Balenciaga closed [in 1968], I realized that, for fashion's sake, I had to do something. Everything was being marked down and sold, people were leaving. And I thought it was just stupid that this heritage would disappear and be lost. That's when I started making a selection of pieces in function of whom I like, and I still do. Always. I pick things from each of Rei [Kawakubo]'s collections. I have Vionnet, Dior. But Rei stands apart.

Diesel, Now Unleaded: Nicola Formichetti On His Expansion Plans-------
"We're celebrating here!" said Nicola Formichetti, by phone from Diesel's headquarters in Italy this morning. The reason: The announcement was made today that Formichetti, as was much-rumored when he left his creative director post at Mugler this week, is joining Diesel as its first artistic director. "Mugler was all about creating luxury, and fantasy, and bringing the dream and the entertainment into an already existing brand," Formichetti said. "At Diesel, I want to talk straight into people's hearts, people in the street." Here, Formichetti lays out his plans to put Diesel denim back on the map.
Thank you so much. Actually, I'm presenting my first project today. It's our initiative of the Reboot Campaign. It's the advertisements, starting from June. So it's the visual side, and we're going to start a big digital community on Tumblr first. And I want to crowd-source using social media and start getting the armies together, because I can't do this alone. We need lots of people's help, and it'll be a great way to meet new talent and designers and artists. Because Diesel's such a global brand; the team should be global, too.
Tell me more about the Reboot project.
You can actually go to the Diesel Reboot page. You can just go there, and I've already reblogged some of the stuff I liked online. We go in, and you guys can join the community and tell us who you are and what you like. And we're going to have little missions, so for the first mission, we'll ask, "What's your favorite thing?" And another mission would be, "How would you like to see this change?" Or "How would you customize this denim?" And then we'll give an award per mission. So you'll get something back. It's kind of like a dialogue. It's a new way of using social media, and I'm super excited for that.
What, exactly, does "artistic director" mean? What will your role at Diesel entail?
I'll be directing the collection. So I'll look at the entire company—from the clothing to the products, the shows, the marketing, the store experiences, the advertising. All the details. It's so crazy.
What most interests you about the company?
Well, I love that if you have a great product, and if you have great communication, you can actually get to people. Because that really didn't happen with me at Mugler. I wasn't seeing a cool guy wearing my clothes on the street. Yes, Gaga wore it. Beyoncé wore it. But what I wanted was to see someone—like, a cool girl—wearing my jackets or pants on the street randomly. Continue Reading "Diesel, Now Unleaded: Nicola Formichetti On His Expansion Plans" »
A Sartorial Touchdown from Les Plus Dorés NYC-------
The Super Bowl is just around the corner. But those of us who aren't exactly football fanatics (or, for that matter, can't tell the quarterback from the water boy) can embrace the sporty spirit with Les Plus Dorés NYC's T-shirts. Why root for the Patriots, Falcons, Ravens, or 49ers when you could cheer on team Philo, Ghesquière, Margiela, or Tisci? According to the label's Web site, there was also a Simons shirt, but, not surprisingly, it's sold out. While your football-savvy friends might not get the joke, Les Plus Dorés NYC's tees will certainly be appreciated by (and likely seen on) the street-style set. Although, a four-way designer showdown would make for a pretty amusing halftime show. Go team!
Les Plus Dorés NYC's T-shirts are available at Brownsfashion.com
A Day In The Life: Julia Stegner-------
When Julia Stegner replaced local lovely Eva Padberg as the face of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Berlin, she catapulted the showcase for German fashion from an insular national event to one with global appeal. The Munich-born supermodel's coltish good looks have landed her on Victoria's Secret runways as well as on the covers of many international editions of Vogue. Here, we catch up with Stegner during her afternoon on the clock.
1 p.m.
After a day and a half spent getting to know her best friend's newborn, hunting for an investment-worthy Berlin apartment, and shopping in Mitte, Stegner begins to greet journalists in her room at the Hotel de Rome, next to the Bebelplatz main show tent.
1:30 p.m.
Stegner selects a pair of black Margiela wedges that she acquired over a year ago, misplaced, relocated, and is wearing for the first time for her upcoming roster of television interviews.
1:32 p.m.
While prepping, Stegner discusses her role as Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF. "I always had a good life. I have great parents and a great family. Then I started at this job when I was 15 and I have been so fortunate to be really successful. I realized that I really want to help people less fortunate. Whatever my problems might be, they are nothing compared to those of people out there."
2 p.m.
Stegner fields questions about the German economy, the career prospects for the winner of the country's Next Topmodel contest, and Berlin's viability as a fashion capital. "Everyone is looking to Berlin now," she says. "I love Munich, because it is my home. It is very clean and people are very straight. But they are a little, well, I guess people elsewhere would think that people from Munich are a bit snobbish. Berlin, however, has a very open and hopeful energy."
4 p.m.
Stegner attends a catwalk show by Argentine designer Pablo Ramírez. A preening television star in see-through stacked stilettos and pinup shorts becomes petulant when Stegner enters the room and the photographers immediately reposition themselves. "Well, she is taller," the starlet mutters to console herself.
4:45 p.m.
Stegner sits front-row at South Africa's Black Coffee show, in which each model meets the preceding one midway up the catwalk to tie the final bow of her draped and beaded silk cape or dress. "It was like modern dance or theater," said Stegner. "At first, I was confused, but then I loved it. Berlin is such a creative city. These things happen here."
And with that, she's on a plane back to New York for another photo shoot in the morning.

I've been playing with 5D3 in-camera HDR's. I have better luck with it than I do with computer generated HDR's. Only problem I have with the 5D3 in-camera HDR's is that they're sRGB JPEG's, which don't offer much as freedom for post processing versus a RAW file.

Rich South's CiErra Garrett. Fall sports photo day at Andrew High School in Tinley Park, Illinois, Sunday, November 18, 2012. | Joseph P. Meier~Sun Times Media
Cierra Garrett, 17, of Richton Park, is in her fourth season as a point guard at Rich South. She also competes in track and field.
What do you like most about playing basketball?
I guess playing with a team. I've been playing with my sister (DeAsia) for so long. It's just fun.
How is it like playing with a twin sister?
I know everything that she's going to do. Knowing all of her moves makes it easier to play.
In 10 years, what's the funniest story you'll tell about coach (Brian) Mays?
At our first practice (together) he made me and DeAsia race the basketball downcourt. We kept on doing it five or six times, until we could actually beat the ball. We were right up on the ball twice. But he won't say it.
Do you have any nicknames?
My dad and my sister started calling me Caesar, and it stuck with me.
When you get mad, what usually happens next?
I'll go outside to play basketball or talk to my sister to calm down.
Do you have a Christmas wish list?
Actually, there is just one thing I really want, but my parents can't get that for me. (Smiling) It has to do with a boy.
What opposing player would you just love to have as a teammate?
Bria Gaines (of Bloom). That's an easy pass to make. We won't get the ball stolen if I throw it to her.
What's your guilty pleasure food?
Probably parmesan chicken.
If you could be in a cartoon show, what one would it be?
"Kim Possible". She's always doing crazy stuff.
Would your rather go shopping with Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift?
Neither. I'd rather go with Teyana Taylor. She's got the best swag, to me.

Full Summer: June 29 – July 26, 2014
Session 1: June 29 – July 12
Session 2: July 13 – July 26
Nearly 30 years ago, Snow Farm: The New England Craft Program opened its doors to high school students as one of the only places where young people could be taken seriously as artists. Every summer since, we have provided creative young people with the rare opportunity to study and work with professional artists in a supportive and engaging environment. We offer studios in ceramics, glassblowing, flameworking, weaving, textile surface design, metalsmithing/jewelry, drawing/painting, welding, woodworking, digital photography, and digital video.
Our intensive, full immersion curriculum is based on small class size and one-on-one instruction. Participants have the chance to dive completely into their work with no distractions and no limits. Six hours of daily instruction and additional "open studio" time allows our highly motivated students to spend 9 - 10 hours a day creating.
"Snow Farm was the best experience of my life. It made me a better person."
For students considering art school or a career in the arts, our summer session is an excellent way to expand and develop a portfolio. Recent alumni have gone on to study at RISD, Alfred University, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, MIT, and many other top level art programs. Many of our past alumni are now established artists in their field, and some have even returned to teach in our program.
"I loved the students, the teachers, the art, and the location. Lots of studio time and lots of help when needed."

Was Brittany Murphy poisoned?
When Brittany Murphy died suddenly in 2009, the official cause of death was pneumonia and anemia. Most people assumed that, in the case of a super-skinny, erratic starlet, that was a euphemism for death by drug abuse. When her husband, Simon Monjack, died just five months later of the same cause — pneumonia and anemia — that fit in neatly with the theory.
However, Murphy's father, Angelo Bertolotti, wasn't satisfied. He recently secured the rights to send samples of Murphy's hair and tissue to a lab for independent testing. The Examiner has the lab report, and it tells a shockingly different story.
Ten of the heavy metals evaluated were detected at levels higher than the WHO [World Health Organization] high levels. Testing the hair strand sample identified as "back of the head" we have detected 10 heavy metals at levels above the WHO high levels recommendation. If we were to eliminate the possibility of a simultaneous accidental heavy metals exposure to the sample donor then the only logical explanation would be an exposure to these metals (toxins) administered by a third party perpetrator with likely criminal intent.
Heavy metals such as those found at high levels in Murphy's body are often present in rat poison and insecticides. They can cause all of the symptoms that Murphy and Monjack suffered before their deaths.
So what really happened to the couple? Was it foul play? Or some sort of accidental exposure? Murphy's father wants to find out.
"We would like the investigation opened again to discover who did it. So as not to jeopardize the new investigation, I can't say who I suspect as of yet," he told the New York Daily News.

By Sylvia Hall – bio | email
MOSS POINT, MS (WLOX) – An Alabama couple died Tuesday afternoon in an accident on Interstate 10 near mile marker 68. It happened in the eastbound lane around 3:00 Tuesday afternoon, just west of Hwy 613 in Moss Point, at the foot of the Pascagoula River Bridge.
Jackson County Coroner Vicky Broadus identified the victims as Troy Porter, 40, and his wife Jennifer Porter of Saraland, Alabama.
Several others were injured in the pileup, although the exact number of injuries has not been confirmed.
Standstill traffic stretched 15 miles behind a fatal Moss Point accident scene and drivers as far away as Biloxi reported traffic troubles.
More than an hour after the multiple-car pileup, a wrecked pickup truck and an 18 wheeler were in plain view. A wrecker pulled a small red car out of the woods beside the highway.
An officer on the scene told WLOX the eastbound nightmare actually began in the westbound lane, when the pickup truck lost control and flew into the median, crashing into the small car.
Gautier Police rerouted incoming traffic down Hwy 57 to Hwy 90 as officers from several different agencies cleaned up the mess left behind.
By 5pm the accident was cleared, and by 6pm traffic was running smoothly again.

A Riverside judge will begin hearing testimony Friday to determine where a 13-year-old boy should serve his sentence for killing his neo-Nazi father.
The boy appeared in a Riverside courtroom Monday morning, Oct. 21, for the first day of his trial and contested disposition hearing. The boy's name is not being used by The Press-Enterprise due to his age.
Testimony will start Friday from the state's Department of Juvenile Justice director. The court will hear his assessment of the boy and whether he would be suited for the state's juvenile detention program.
Judge Jean P. Leonard is expected to announce her decision next week after hearing from the juvenile justice principal and a child psychologist.
The boy could be placed in a juvenile detention facility or an alternative placement site where he could remain until he's 23 years old.
Leonard found charges true that the boy murdered his father, Jeff Hall, early the morning of May 1, 2011 as Hall slept. The boy shot his father behind the ear, at close range. At the time, he was 10 years old.
The boy later told police that he was afraid he would have to choose between his father and stepmother in their pending divorce.
Jeff Hall was the leader of the southwest chapter of the National Socialist Movement, a neo-Nazi group that led rallies in Riverside and on the U.S. – Mexico border.
Since his arrest more than two years ago, the boy has been held at Riverside Juvenile Hall. He spent a brief period last summer for an assessment at the Juvenile Justice school in Stockton.
"If there are any alternative placements the defense would like to submit, I'd like to know about them," Riverside County Chief Deputy District Attorney Mike Soccio said. "We always hoped to see eye to eye, but I'm not sure that's a reality given the safety issues. Both sides want him to get every care he can get."
The boy's defense attorney has joined with education attorneys who are arguing for alternative placement centers, such as a residential treatment facility at the Center for Children in San Diego and the Devereux treatment center in Texas.
Punam Grewal, who's representing the boy, suggested the two facilities in court Monday, but it was not cleared with the Riverside County Department of Probation, which is giving recommendations to the court.
A separate administrative trial regarding the boy's education started Monday with the boy's attorneys and the Riverside County Office of Education.
The administrative trial will address whether the boy's education and learning disabilities, if any, have been met. The case could last through the rest of the month, but a decision may not be made for 30 days or longer.
The outcome of the administrative trial will not have any bearing or recommendation on the boy's placement hearing, Leonard said.
