MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) - Liberia's president has declared a state of emergency in the West African nation amid an Ebola outbreak that shows no signs of slowing.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf made the announcement on national television late Wednesday, saying that some civil rights may have to be suspended as a result of the crisis.
Observers say the crisis in Liberia has deepened because many people are choosing to keep their ill relatives at home instead of bringing them to isolation centers.
The disease that has killed at least 282 people in Liberia alone is spread through contact with the bodily fluids of Ebola patients showing symptoms.
In her speech, Sirleaf said that "ignorance and poverty, as well as entrenched religious and cultural practices, continue to exacerbate the spread of the disease."

Farmers and the national environment law (EPBC Act)
Complying with the national environment law (Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999)
The department recognises the important role farmers, agricultural organisations and natural resource managers play in protecting our environment.
Farmers need to know about Australia's national environment law as some agricultural activities may need federal government approval. This could be in addition to state or local government approvals.
National environment law protects matters that are of national environmental significance. Those most relevant to farmers are:
- nationally threatened and migratory species
- nationally threatened ecological communities
- wetlands of international importance
- world and national heritage properties
- the Great Barrier Reef.
New farm activities, such as land clearing, may require approval from the federal environment minister under national environment law.
If you are unsure, it is best to check by calling the department's environment liaison officer on 1800 704 520. You should also check state and local governments' approval requirements.
Protected matters on your farm
National environment law only applies to matters of national environmental significance. You can check if there are likely to be protected matters on or near your property by contacting the department's environment liaison officer or by using the protected matters search tool.
Do I need federal approval for all my farming activities?
No. You can continue routine farm activities without approval if they began before national environment law was introduced in July 2000. Only new farm activities that are likely to have a significant impact on a protected matter may need approval.
Will my activity have a significant impact?
Whether or not the impacts of an activity are significant depends on several factors, including how long the impact will last and the sensitivity of a nationally protected matter. The environment liaison officer can give you advice, and guidelines on the EPBC Act policy statements page.
If you are unsure, you should check, otherwise you may accidentally break the law.
How do I get approval?
If you think your activity could have a significant impact on a protected matter, or you just want to be certain that it won't, you will need to refer your actions to the federal environment department. You will need to use the Referral of proposed action form.
Once referred the department will notify you within 20 business days whether or not approval is required, and if so how it will be assessed. You can contact the environment liaison officer for help or a more detailed explanation of the process.
What happens if I break the law?
If you think you may have broken the law, it is best to contact the federal environment department as soon as possible to explain what has happened. The department may be able to work cooperatively with you to repair any damage to the environment.
The department investigates all alleged breaches of the law and takes compliance very seriously. Not knowing the law or your obligations under it is not an excuse. There can be significant penalties for non-compliance with the law including gaol terms and penalties of up to $5.5 million.
More information:
Can I get government assistance?
There are several programs to help farmers and others manage our natural resources and nationally protected matters, such as threatened species and ecological communities. You can contact the environment liaison officer for more information.

Is your company delivering products to customers at the right time, place, and price--with the best possible availability and lowest possible cost and working capital? If not, you're probably alienating your customers and suppliers, eroding shareholder value, and losing control of your fixed costs. These dangerous mistakes can put you out of business. In The New Supply Chain Agenda, Reuben Slone, J. Paul Dittmann, and John Mentzer explain how to reinvent your supply chain to avoid those errors--and turn your supply chain into a competitive weapon that produces unprecedented economic profit for your firm. Drawing on a wealth of company examples, the authors show how to activate the five levers of supply chain excellence: (1) Putting the right people with the right skills in the right jobs, (2) Leveraging supply chain technologies such as system optimization and visibility tools, (3) Eliminating cross-functional disconnects, including SKU proliferation, (4) Collaborating with suppliers and customers to generate a seamless flow of information and supply chain improvements, and (5) Managing supply chain projects skillfully. Apply the steps in this book, and you build a supply chain that delivers as it should--without leaving money on the table.

Harlem's 'Gang of Four is no more'
- Written by Donovan X. Ramsey/theGrio
- Published in News
New York City lost one of its most powerful progressive forces Wednesday with the passing of Basil Paterson.
As a member of the influential "Gang of Four," Paterson – along with former Mayor David Dinkins, late civil rights activist Percy Sutton, and Congressman Charles Rangel – helped to develop the economic and political capital of the city's black community.
With Paterson and Sutton both now deceased, many are now looking back on the legacy of the Gang of Four and wondering if there is a void in New York City's black political leadership.
Forming the "Gang of Four"
The four men were forged into a coalition by outside forces. In 1985, former New York congressman Herman Badillo was interested in becoming mayor of the city but needed the backing of prominent black leaders.
According to Dinkins, a meeting of 30 to 35 leaders was convened. Badillo went in expecting to receive the group's blessing but was taken by surprise when one of the men, Herman "Denny" Farrell, made a last-minute appeal for his own candidacy. The group was swayed and backed Farrell. Afterwards, an incensed Badillo placed the blame at the feet of Paterson, Sutton, Rangel and Dinkins.
In a press conference, he blasted them as the "gang of four" responsible for torpedoing his candidacy.
"We really weren't to blame," said Dinkins in an interview with theGrio. "Actually, in the meeting that resulted in Denny getting the backing, we didn't even speak — not so much as cleared our throats, but we were blamed. So we wore it as a badge of honor, like Nixon's Enemies List."
The name and their bond stuck. In years to come, all four would all rise in influence in local and national politics, working together and helping each other along the way.
"The Gang of Four, part of a long line of African-American and West Indian political leaders in Harlem, laid the foundation for black electoral and political power nationally, in many respects," says political consultant Basil Smikle.
"With [Paterson's] experience as an elected and appointed official in State government, and as a labor leader, he was uniquely positioned to understand the political cleavages between government and communities of color. Where there was no path, he left a trail that became a conduit for David Dinkins to become the city's first African-American mayor and for his own son to become governor of New York."
Smikle, who cut his teeth in New York politics, was affectionately called, "the other Basil in Harlem" by Paterson. Having been supported by the elder Basil, Smikle is just one of many young black politicos that can trace their political DNA to the Gang of Four.
Congressman Rangel released a statement soon after the news broke of Paterson's death, calling him a "brother," a "giant among men" and celebrating their accomplishments as political partners.
"I am honored and grateful to have known and worked with Basil," Rangel said. "Basil Paterson, Percy Sutton, David Dinkins, and I were inseparable and indefatigable in our continuous efforts to make Dr. King's Dream a reality for all. Each step of the way, as he championed Dr. King's legacy as the state senator, deputy mayor of New York City, and then the Secretary of State of New York, Basil helped pave the path in which anybody, regardless of race, could not only vote, but also hold any public office in the nation."
A void of black leadership?
Today, Dinkins is mostly retired from public life and Rangel is currently in, perhaps, the toughest race of his career to hold onto his seat in Congress. Some have pointed to this moment as a sign that New York City's old black political machine is all but defunct.
"The passing of power of the 'Gang of Four is not necessarily something to be mourned – as much as observed as another sign of change in the ever-roiling city. While ethnic politics will always be a part of local politics, the ethnicities are always on the move," wrote New York political reporter Bob Hardt.
Dinkins seems to read the writing on the wall differently, however.
"People have been saying there's a void of leadership in the black community for years," he says. "When Adam Powell was defeated by Charlie Rangel, they behaved as though the world had come to an end. Charlie went on to chair the ways and means committee and he's still in Congress. He's got a tough race coming up in June but he's still there.
"When Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. left us, people asked where are the black leaders now. It's important to remember that there are always leaders among us. There are young people coming along, women and men – particularly women, who are stepping into the breach. While the gang of four is no more, there are a lot of bright young people coming up."
And aside from young black leaders who Dinkins hopes will continue the work of the Gang of Four, he also points to the city's larger progressive community – many of whom were mentored by Sutton, Rangel, Paterson and himself.
"Bill de Blasio worked for us," he says of New York City's current mayor. "He was ironed by Bill Lynch, my chief of staff for many years. Bill brought de Blasio into the office and hired him within five minutes of the interview. And, incidentally, Chirlane was one of my speechwriters then and worked in the press office. The mayor and his wife met in City Hall during my administration, so the legacy has definitely continued."

Just a touch crooked, the timbers that hold up New Braunfels Smokehouse's awning impart both a rustic and timeless look, which hearkens back to the smokehouse's 1940s beginnings. The Dunbar family bought five local ice plants including one in New Braunfels that formerly housed a brewery. With limited storage options, farmers brought their meats to the ice plant for refrigeration. Then employee Benno Schuennemann had an idea: he'd help the farmers preserve their meats even longer by curing and smoking them using old German recipes. As word grew of the smoked meats coming from the icehouse, the Dunbars found a whole new business on their hands. They added a restaurant in 1952, and by the 1960s, they fielded smoked-meat orders from across the United States.
Today, the Dunbars continue running New Braunfels Smokehouse from a new location, producing hickory-smoked beef, chicken, pork, and turkey using Benno's methods at their USDA-inspected facility. They also bake their own bread each day, plus insist that their chefs craft every side from scratch and smith every utensil by hand. The restaurant surrounds visitors in rustic style with decor that incorporates old-barn siding and knotty-wood paneling—many of the materials salvaged from the original smokehouse. After savoring meals ordered from the counter, visitors can peruse the country store for sausages and other packaged meats fresh from the smokehouse.
When the New York Times highlighted the ribs, brisket, pork, and sausage at Cooper's Old Time Pit Bar-B-Que, it called the feast a "life-changing experience." That's just one press mention from a veritable briefcase full of articles that vouch for the barbecue destination's food. The menu isn't complicated: it catalogs 15 core barbecue meats as well as apple, blackberry, peach, and pecan cobbler. On the side, servers bring beans, corn on the cob, whole baked potatoes, or salad tossed into a bowl by a major league pitcher.
When Food Network celebrity chef Guy Fieri roams the country in search of down-home eats on his show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, he follows his gut. Rarely, though, does he stumble upon a "culinary compound." But such was the case when he and his film crew visited Texas Pride Barbecue, where "It's all about Texas," as owner Tony Talanco told the San Antonio Express-News.
The haven of Texas-style barbecue juts out from the tall grasses, mesquite trees, and barbecue-sauce waterfalls that fill the surrounding fields. As an old filling station, Tony's restaurant not only greets guests with the smoky scents of slow-cooked brisket, ribs, and sausage, but also with waves of nostalgia surging from antique gas pumps, jukeboxes, farm equipment, and artifacts from the 1920s through '60s that Tony has salvaged. In the kitchen, Tony and his cooks lavish time on their two most popular items: the brisket and the homemade barbecue sauces. After dry rubbing the brisket with seasoning, they cook it for 12 hours in a pit fueled by mesquite wood. This smoky flavor comes to life when dipped in hot or regular sauce, both of which begin with onions caramelizing in bacon fat.
Texas Pride Barbecue continues celebrating its state heritage with live music and special events that include a Bike Night and a fish fry. Such activities may have been part of the reason the San Antonio Express-News declared Texas Pride Barbecue its "Best Place to Take Out-of-Town Guests"—one of many awards the eatery has racked up.
• 25 traditional wings (a $16.99 value) • One full side of cajun fries (up to a $4.49 value) • Large order of blue cheese and celery ($2.50 value) • Two soft drinks (a $4.38 value)

With its large 24 oz. nectar capacity, you'll keep the hummingbirds fed and have to refill less often. The wide mouth opening and patent pending top fill technology makes filling easy. Simply remove the lid, pour in the nectar, and you're ready to feed the hummingbirds. No inverting necessary!

This works perfectly and doesn't seem to attract ants or wasps as the old ones have. It holds close to 4 cups of nectar which you can fill from the top!!! It is suggested that it should be cleaned with hot /warm water (no soap) prior to refilling to avoid mold. I use bleach water (one cap full to the gallon) to kill any existing germs. Then I rinse several times. Then let completely dry before refilling with room-temperature nectar of 3-cups of water to one cup of pure cane sugar. Have to be careful during the hanging process, as the clear part is glass, not plastic.
I've had several styles of the Perky Pet units over the years. Most recently I found I was filling each of the two smaller feeders as much as three times a day. I bought two of these larger units and now only fill each unit once a day.I've found that I still need to deep clean them about ever fourth day as the heat outside right now is an issue for turning the 4-1 mixture a bit gummy over time. However, with a slight bit of care they are easily disassembled and cleaned. There is a small pilot or bleed hole in the unit that requires attention during the cleaning. Again, no big issue at all. These are some very nice units and I'm glad I found them as I was tired of having to fill the smaller units off and on every few hours.Another positive is the fact I had Orioles raiding my other units, these two they do not bother at all.

David Stern floats the possible "franchise tag" as a player movement blocker, while a vocal contingent conspires to keep NBA talent in the most obscure outposts. Much of my anti-franchise tag thought is informed by Beckley, who explains its flaws with an eloquence that makes British nobility sound like drunken grifters. Seriously, watch this video if you want to hear God speak through a man:
And now you know how to make a perfect omelette.
Note: Such a tag couldn't work within the NBA as we know it. When an NFL team gives a player an average of the top five salaries for his position, it's a pay raise, within the context of a hard cap. Basketball has a soft cap, and many "max" contracts (the average of "max" is "max"). So I'll take this abstract franchise tag to mean some theoretical constraint on a player's ability to play where he actually wants to. Which I'm against.
Our new era of self determination has monocles shattering around the country. It seems something must be done, because, well…because the NBA is always drowning in the unsolicited advice of concern trolls who hate the league?
Don't listen to the haters, this big market exodus has been fantastic for pro basketball. Normally boring chapters have been injected with trade-chatter intrigue. Even better, players are gravitating to places where human beings actually live–which is, by some crazy coincidence, where TV ratings also live.
But, something will be done, because the league–like the Democratic party–often bends over backwards for those who would break it. Think the players all dress like thugs? Dress Code! Think the players are entitled punks? More technicals! No taunting! More photogenic charity work! Of course, the anti-basketball ninnies will never be placated. And addressing a "problem," merely advertises the idea that you're in deep trouble. I just know we won't see something like the Deke finger wag, ever again, thanks to groveling "reforms" that hinder humanity.
So I question the concept of fixing this situation. The need to "keep" players in small markets feels like a desperate reach at furthering the already implausible lie of fandom. David Shields put it well when describing how Derrick Coleman and Shawn Kemp joked and jostled pre-game:
"Fans want to think that it's us against them (Seattle vs. New Jersey, say), and that the players on "our" team are in cahoots with us in some difficult-to-define way–difficult to define because their contempt for us is so manifest. One of the things I've felt at the games so far is how bound together the five Sonics on the floor are with the five players on the floor for the other team, like boxers, and how the opposition is really the noise of everything else–coaches, refs, cameras, commercials, especially fans."
What fans really want is for Kevin Durant to actually love being in Oklahoma City, to feel one with the town, one with its people, blissfully committed to fighting for their honor. It's not happening. But, Kevin Durant will stay in OKC because it's a competent, rising organization. If you build it, they will stay. Or you can splurge on bad players, lose your franchise piece, and juggle comic sans like a sad clown.
Speaking of Dan Gilbert, his net worth is listed at 478 million dollars. Should I really be concerned about Dan's inability to compete on a level playing field? America grows more economically unequal by the day, here in the real world–so excuse me if the difference between Gilbert and Dolan eludes my worries.
Anyway, many fans and writers are operating under two premises, which I disagree with.
1. Team monogamy is good
I'm talking about David Stern's preference for helping players stay with one squad, over the course of a career. And though I'm sure Pacers fans get emotional over Reggie Miller, that's not the lifeblood of a league. Speculation over player movement drives traffic, gossip and interest. The Melo saga gifted relevance to pro basketball, even when games weren't being played. In contrast, nobody's talking about Tim Duncan right now–even with the Spurs winning more than loaded dice. The "Bird Rights" model is as heart-warming as it is entertainment-dulling.
2. The NBA needs small markets to thrive
After all, that's why the NFL's great! I feel like this is the "correlation is not causation" fallacy. Just because football thrives in Green Bay, doesn't mean basketball should try its hand in places that lack eyes and ears. In particular, small Southern cities are a perpetual leaden kaboose, tethered to the sputtering NBA gravy train. Why is it virtuous to lose money in apathetic, unprofitable markets? If a small city like Portland turns out for its team, that's fantastic. I just don't see the numbers in prosthelytizing to some of the other, NBA-neutral towns. And I see even less sense in bending the rules so as to favor the relative boonies. The league needs a Grizzlies vs. Hornets playoff series or it will die?
So if a small market owner can't keep players, even with the help of rookie contracts, restricted free agency and Bird Rights…what should the league do? I'd say "nothing," and I'd say an athlete should work where he damn well pleases. Above, I talked about the implausible lie of fandom, and how ridiculous it is to believe that a player guilelessly fights on behalf of a city. Well, we're seeing Brooklyn-born Carmelo Anthony actually represent New York in a way that feels special. I'm lukewarm on the trade as a basketball move, but it's nice to see Anthony soak in an atmosphere of his choosing.

Higher ed leaders aim to reinvigorate Master Plan
Master Plan for Higher Education
California, in 1960, adopted the Master Plan for Higher Education. It outlined distinct missions for the University of California, the California State University System and the California Community Colleges with respect to the students they serve, the educational programs and degrees they offer, and their role in performing research.
Inherent to the Master Plan is the promise that higher education is available to any Californian who wants it. For UC and CSU, this means finding a spot for all California resident students who meet eligibility requirements. For the community colleges, it means finding a place for any California resident who seeks higher education.
Leaders of California's three public higher education systems jointly addressed the UC Board of Regents on Wednesday (Jan. 22) and discussed their plans for strengthening implementation of the state's Master Plan for Higher Education.
Enacted in 1960, the Master Plan made California the first state in the nation to promise a place in higher education for anyone who wanted one. It was landmark legislation that has been credited with helping California build a skilled and educated workforce and establish itself as an international powerhouse of publicly funded research and knowledge.
The purpose of the Master Plan remains as relevant today as when it was enacted more than 50 years ago, but California itself is a far different place, UC President Janet Napolitano told the board.
"We must look at the Master Plan today in terms of how we collaborate, how we cooperate.... always with the education of the next generation in mind," she said.
To that end, Napolitano, California State University Chancellor Timothy P. White and California Community College Chancellor Brice W. Harris sketched out a variety of new ways the three systems plan to work together to better serve students.
Among their goals: developing a new student-centered Web portal that makes it easier for community college students to track their academic progress toward being eligible to transfer to a UC or CSU campus.
Although still in the formative stages, the three system leaders envision a shared website that would make the transfer process more transparent — both in terms of which courses any particular students need to transfer to CSU or UC, and what kind of financial aid is available to them.
Napolitano said a "stretch goal" for the effort would be to provide real-time feedback that is tailored to an individual student's academic record. Creating such a system would necessarily be complex, and involve pulling data from multiple systems and jurisdictions.
"It's easier said than done, but I don't think that's an excuse for not doing it," Napolitano said.
The three leaders also plan to intensify their joint outreach to California's K-12 students and their families; and to capture administrative savings by developing shared systems for procurement and other business practices.
Although the three public higher education systems already work together on a variety of shared issues, the kind of close collaboration now under way between the three segments is significant.
All three leaders are relatively new in their positions, and share a commitment to ensuring that all California students know that college is in reach, Harris said.
"Too often, for the economically disadvantaged, college is not seen as in their future," Harris said.
He and the other segment leaders hope to change that thinking by sending a personalized communication to every California seventh-grader and their parents that encourages them to begin planning for college. Families would receive information on financial aid, college eligibility and more, he said.
"We want to make sure all students know they can access higher education in one of our three institutions," Harris said.
White, who attended a community college, transferred to a CSU and earned an advanced degree at UC, called himself a product of the Master Plan.
"Like me, it is fundamentally strong, but a bit tattered around the edges," White said.
He noted that California has changed dramatically since Master Plan was first enacted, both in terms of demographics and finances.
"We have so many students who are first in their families to go to college, so many students from lower socio-economic backgrounds," White said. "To serve California's future and address its problems, a much wider swath of its humanity has to access public higher education."
The three systems can strengthen the Master Plan framework — and funnel more money into delivering a high-quality education to California students — by leveraging the cost-savings from developing shared procurement systems and other business practices, he said.
"It's time to collectively come together," White said. "It's not about us. It's about California — its economy and its society."

Eugenie Dalland in conversation with Jennifer Farley and Colleen Hill on ECO-FASHION: GOING GREEN, at the Museum @ FIT
Currently on display at the Fashion and Textile History Gallery at the Museum at FIT is Eco-Fashion: Going Green. An exhibition that focuses on the infectious "eco" trend that has exploded on the fashion front over the past several years, which aims to lessen the harmful effects of clothing production on the environment. Eco-Fashion explores this sartorial eco-consciousness by examining the complex relationship between fashion and the environment as it has existed over the past two hundred and fifty years.
The exhibition is curated by Jennifer Farley and Colleen Hill, who cite the growing concern of both consumers and designers regarding the impact of fashion production on the environment as part of their inspiration. "We wanted to trace the eco-trend backwards since it's such a big concern right now," states Ms Farley, alluding also to the growing commercial demand for sustainable clothing.
The exhibition fills the darkened gallery, an intimate setting that offers the viewer a chance to quietly observe the garments up close without the noise and crowds of a larger space. Despite its small size, the Museum at FIT consistently delivers wonderful exhibitions that are informative, concise, and beautiful (Isabel Toledo: Fashion from the Inside Out is a terrific example). Eco-Fashion is no less impressive in its array, and holds particular social significance for the attention it calls to an important concern that, despite its prevalence in the social sphere, is not necessarily explained or understood, even by those who choose to consume or partake in its philosophy. Each item (there are over one hundred) is explained within a framework of six major themes of the fashion-environment relationship, such as quality of craftsmanship, labor practices, and the repurposing and recycling of materials. A 1950 Claire McCardell evening dress of printed nylon, for example, is contextualized within the "manufacture of synthetics" theme, and is used to illustrate the highly chemical process of nylon production and the toxic gases that are consequently released into the atmosphere. The simple, thematic examination of each garment in relation to the environment is highly useful for the viewer, and reveals the complicated and multifaceted rapport between the clothes we wear and our environment.
Despite this focus on process and production, the design and aesthetic quality of the individual garments is not overshadowed by the attention to how they were made. A dress of polyester peau de soie from Costello Tagliapietra's Fall/Winter 2010 collection is dyed using a minimal energy-usage process and is locally-manufactured and hand-made, but what is most prominent about it is the elegant draping of red ochre folds that adorn the front of the bodice. A dress by designer Linda Loudermilk features a print of undulating, cool colors that move with the lightweight silk chiffon material – created by conscientious fabric manufacturers dedicated to minimizing fashion's environmental impact.

When asked about the potential difficulty of balancing the spotlight between the garments and the process by which they were constructed, curators Farley and Hill found little conflict in maintaining an equal emphasis on both the clothing and the manufacture: "Our exhibitions are always about the individual objects as much as the 'big picture,' but the label copy in this show was often focused on production methods and choice of materials. We wanted to give our viewers a clear picture of why a garment was included in the exhibition." The curators also shed light on the movement itself – its nature, its incongruities, and its future.
Eugenie Dalland – Timeless, high quality pieces of clothing seem to be a staple definition for many eco/sustainable fashion labels, which illustrates eco-fashion's rejection of seasonal fashion. However, several of the designers featured in the exhibition whose labels are dedicated to sustainable fashion such as Linda Loudermilk and Bodkin still show seasonally. Are runway/seasonal shows and sustainable fashion mutually exclusive?
Jennifer Farley & Colleen Hill – Not necessarily. To make a strong impact on the fashion industry, eco-designers must offer their clientele new, sustainable styles that will continue to pique interest. Perhaps in the future, when eco-fashion becomes more ubiquitous in the industry, further thought can be given to making changes in the fashion cycle as a whole.
E.D – Designer Eviana Hartman of Bodkin states that sustainability is about pieces that are "useful for a lot of people and that they want to keep for a long time." Sustainable/eco-fashion seems to stress, more than anything, an appreciation for a garment's functionality more so than for its aesthetic. Do you agree with this conclusion? What else does eco-fashion imply for consumer?
J.F & C.H – We feel that most eco-designers focus on both functionality and aesthetics. In order to succeed in a notoriously fickle industry, most eco-designers are aware that their clothes must look great, in addition to being sustainable. They understand that for most consumers, an organic cotton dress will not be appealing unless it's also beautiful and stylish. Functionality adds another level of desirability.

E.D – What is your final impression about eco-fashion after having curated this exhibition? Is it just a trend? How do you foresee it being incorporated into the fashion industry and, hopefully, mainstream clothing production?
J.F & C.H – We feel strongly that eco-fashion has a lasting place in the industry. Eco-Fashion: Going Green featured fully eco-labels – Edun and FIN, for example – but also included labels such as Costello Tagliapietra and Yeohlee. The latter designers do not necessarily consider themselves to be "eco," but they are approaching aspects of design in unique, environmentally-conscientious ways. We feel that at the very least, more designers are becoming aware of the appeal of sustainable practices. In terms of mainstream fashion production, a few large corporations have already begun to use fabrics such as organic cotton in their clothing lines. With that sort of high-volume demand, we are positive that the eco-fashion movement will only pick up speed.

I've been alive for 23 years. For four of them, the Jazz haven't been in the Western Conference playoffs.
The 2012-2013 season has been an up and down year for Jazz fans and it all ended Wednesday night with the worst offensive output in 82 games. A season low 70 points and a shooting percentage of 32 percent against the Memphis Grizzlies effectively ended the Jazz's last hope of attaining the eighth seed in the playoffs over the Los Angeles Lakers. The 86-70 loss was tough to watch but wasn't as tough as knowing how many winnable games there were that the Jazz could have used to secure a playoff spot. While it didn't matter whether or not the Jazz won because of the Lakers victory over the Houston Rockets, the hope ultimately died in Memphis. The Jazz finished the season 43-39, a respectable (and playoff worthy) record if you aren't playing in the ultra-competitive Western Conference.
It's hard not to look back at the four heartbreaking road losses in early March or the Atlanta loss where a former Jazz man brought the Hawks storming back. All winnable games, that would have had the Jazz back in the playoffs for the second consecutive year. When a fan base becomes so accustomed to success and a chance in the playoffs, it's hard not feel pessimistic about the season. That being said, the future is bright, the players are young, and in no time, the Jazz will be back where they belong amongst the basketball elite.
Al Jefferson played phenomenal in the final 12 games in which the Jazz went 9-3, to get back into playoff contention. After carrying the Jazz all season long, it seems the Mississippi native may not find his way back to Salt Lake City as a free agent. The time for the youth movement to take over has finally arrived and Jefferson and Paul Millsap could be in different jersey's next season.
The Jazz only have six players under contract for the 2013-2014 season but also have two first round draft picks to help fill the void that may be left from free agency. Derrick Favors, Gordon Hayward, Enes Kanter and Alec Burks–it seems–will all be asked to carry the load and take the Jazz back to where they belong. The culture has been left behind by players like Millsap, Jefferson, and Mo Williams, that taught the young guys how to win. And hopefully they learned.
"We worked our ass off. The many times we could have gave up, we didn't," Al Jefferson told The Salt Lake Tribune. A statement that has hopefully been instilled in those young players that may have to take his place next season.
So while Jazz fans wait out the summer months until October, the players should know that the fans are always grateful for the effort they put in every season. We appreciate when they don't give up. We appreciate the effort they put in to win. We appreciate it all. Mediocre is a good word to describe the Jazz this season, but in the end, it doesn't matter because the fans know the players gave it all they could. The Jazz most certainly weren't the most talented or biggest or fastest team in the NBA, but they turned out a winning season when no one expected them to.
So whether or not the Jazz use their salary cap space to re-sign a familiar face or rebuild around the young players or sign someone from a different team, one thing is for certain, the fans will be back, no matter who's on the court.

Fredericksburg City Council will vote tomorrow on spending city money to pay fees from an FOI suit.
|Visit the Photo Place
Date published: 10/8/2001
Five council members--all but Mayor Bill Beck and Councilman Scott Howson--were ordered to reimburse the newspaper for its legal fees in the suit, which was heard Aug. 23 by Fredericksburg Circuit Judge John W. Scott Jr.
Scott ruled that the five council members--Ambrose Bailey, Harold Bannister, Richard Garnett, Joe Wilson and Vice Mayor Gordon Shelton--violated the Virginia Freedom of Information Act by participating in an illegal closed-door meeting on a proposed slavery museum. Howson and Beck voted to keep the meeting open.
The five were defended by former Roanoke City Attorney Wilburn C. Dibling. Dibling's fees of approximately $9,240 will come out of the city attorney's budget for outside legal services.
Pates said he has $25,000 in his annual budget to cover such expenses. He recused himself from representing any council members, citing a conflict of interest because Beck and Howson opposed closing the session.
Beck hired his own lawyer and Howson did not have legal representation. Beck said he will not seek city funds to pay his legal fees.
Although the suit was filed against individual members of the council, Virginia law states that the city is obligated to pay for lawsuits that involve members of government bodies performing official duties.
"Except in cases of criminal or willful misconduct, the City has always borne the cost of judgments entered against its officers and employees," Pates wrote in a memorandum to the council.
The council will meet at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at City Hall.

Paul McCartney Jet Lyrics
Last updated: 08/01/2014 08:27:52 PM
Jet! Jet!
Jet, I can almost remember their funny faces
That time you told them that you were going to be marrying soon
And Jet, I thought the only lonely face was on the moon!
Jet! Jet! Jet!
Was your father as bold as the Sergeant Major
Well how come he told you that you're hardly old enough yet?
And Jet, I thought the major was a lady suffaragette
Jet! Jet!
Ah mater, want Jet to always love me
Ah mater, want Jet to always love me
Ah mater…much later
And Jet, I thought the major was a lady suffragette!
Jet! Jet!
Ah mater, want Jet to always love me
Ah mater, want Jet to always love me
Ah mater…much later
With the wind in your hair of a thousand laces
Climb on the back and we'll go for a ride in the sky
And Jet, I thought that the major was a lady suffragette!
Jet! Jet!
And Jet, you know I thought you was a lady suffragette!
Jet! And a lady, my lady yea...

Filler Lyrics | Reviewer: Syd | 8/1/14
Seems quite consistent with "Sunday's on the phone to Monday, Tuesday's on the phone to me. These words lend no esthetic nor logical value to the song. And don't hand me that drugged out, psychedelic, abstract art BS. Those lines are there for two reasons. To rhyme and to meet the recording contract schedule. What I have coined "Filler Lyrics"
fact checking | Reviewer: rowan | 5/21/12
I'd hate for anyone to read some of these comments and think they were actually, uh, true. Here are the facts.
1. Paul McCartney wanted the Eastmans to represent the Beatles because they were great businessmen. Macca's fortune is a direct result of their skill.
2. Paul (rightly) distrusted Allen Klein. That was proven out both by what Klein did to the Stones as well as by various lawsuits eventually filed against Klein by all of the Beatles (once John, Ringo, and George wised up).
3. This Beatles were always a reverse democracy -- if one of them voted against something, they didn't do it. Selecting Klein as their manager after Epstein's death was the first time that they departed from that model. If anyone was dealt with unfairly by his partners, it was Paul.
4. Paul's suit to dissolve the partnership and force Klein's dealings into the open (such as taking a much larger commission than that to which he was contractually obligated and taking commissions for Paul's solo projects) saved the Beatles' fortunes. Even John Lennon eventually admitted it.
I'm glad I looked up the lyrics in this song! | Reviewer: Mr. Herbert Cheese | 3/14/12
This line bothered me for years of hearing the song:
"And Jet, I thought the major was a lady suffragette!"
This is how I heard it for years:
"And Jet, I thought the major was a lady! So forget it!"
I like the song, but you can lump this in the "misheard lyrics" file. It makes more sense now.
Have you ever seen an abstract painting you liked? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/7/11
Sir Paul works in lyrics the way a master painter works in abstract expression. He takes beautiful bits and puts them together. The sum is greater than all the parts. And the best part is there is meaning for everyone where you find it...
Jet Origin | Reviewer: Ron | 8/1/11
I still have an off-air recording of a BBC Radio 1 broadcast made at the time when Jet was released. It includes an interview with Paul himself in which he explicitly said that the inspiration for Jet was his puppy dog.
No meaning for me | Reviewer: zug | 6/25/11
I was thinking about this catchy tune the other day. Looked up the lyrics. It can't mean anything to any normal human. Maybe the story about someone challenging Paul to write a song using Suffragette in it, is the only rational explanation. But anyway doesn't matter. He had a catchy tune and he needed some words to go along. Kind of too bad that lyric writing so often took second place to the tune in popular hits but that's how it goes...
Stop blaming Yoko | Reviewer: Aquaria | 5/30/11
It has nothing to do with Yoko Ono. If anyone got too involved in the Beatles' business it was that dog with Wings, Linda McCartney, who tried to push her dad on the band as their manager, and the other three strongly objected, because they thought they would get screwed over while Paul raked in all the goodies. The other three wisely wanted to hire Allen Klein, who was then the top manager in rock music, and had landed huge contracts for the Stones and even the damned Bee Gees. They knew he could get them a record-breaking deal, and here was Paul and his wife insisting on having her daddy, a fine lawyer, of course, but not much use to the biggest rock band in the world coming up on a contract negotiation. Paul and Linda are the single biggest reason for the breakup--not Yoko Ono.
think | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/20/11
This song is about john letting yoko have have a say in the Beatles business. He was calling John suffragette. Though somewhat inspired by bowie, Paul put a couple red herrings in there to keep us guessing. When asked about the meaning of the song, Paul kept the mystery alive by giving a story first about a dog and then later about a horse
Meaning | Reviewer: Andy | 10/31/10
Just seen an interview with Paul McCartney where the interviewer asked what the song meant. It turns out 'Jet' was the name of one of Paul and Linda's ponies, and was just the starting point for the song.
Meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/1/10
Well, first of all: Jet is Paul's dog. Some say he just wrote a song to his dog, and didn't care about what they meant because... well... a dog normally doesn't understand the meaning of a song. That theory sounds like shit hanging from a stick in my eyes.
I think it looks like a father(Sergeant Major) was a suffragette(=a supporter of females right to vote), and still he rejected his daugther to marry whoever she liked. Therefor, hypocrisy is a team in the son.
I do also think the whole "major/suffragette"-thing is about Bowie. Why? Well, Major Tom and Suffragette City are some of Bowie's biggest hits, and they where realised only a few years before Jet. So a mixture of his dog, Bowie and hypocrisy shaped this song IMO.
Back story ... | Reviewer: Moose | 5/28/10
The song might make more sense if you knew some of the back story behind it.
Some of you guys really are incredibly stupid for not doing the slightest bit of research or brain activity before you spout out your half baked non-sense.
Anyway, this is a brilliant song with a great back story – McCartney bragged to his friends one day that he could create a hit song about anything, so one his friends bet him that he could not make a hit song out of the word "suffragette". Needless to say, McCartney won.
i can't believe i share the same air as you narrow-minded bloaky dolts | Reviewer: duh | 1/30/10
You'd have to be retarded on an unprecidented level to read the lyrics of this song and not get a possible meaning from them. First of all the best song writers out there aren't so direct with their meaning. they like the thought of their listeners thinking for themselves. secondly, he's a lyricist not a 'paperback writer'. Unlike novelists, songwriters have on average about 3-5 minutes typically to express their feelings for a particular group of words.
the song is a call out to jet the woman. he's calling out the seargent major for proclaiming his support of women's rights and being a hypocrite for not letting jet his daughter marry at such a young age.
and how can you say that mccartney and lennon write songs without meaning.
McCartney's credit - just a few - btw he has 60 gold records - yesterday, hey jude, let it be, get back, eleanor rigby, eight days a week, can't buy me love, penny lane
lennon's credit - just a few - All you need is love, strawberry fields forever, hard day's night, do you want to know a secret, ticket to ride, help!, revolution.
I really think you boneheaded neanderthals nead to get a cure for your foot-in-mouth syndrome because you're making it easy for people like me to make you look and sound like a real nimrod a-hole. If you don't like the beatles, mccartney or lennon and any of their collaborations just say it. don't rip apart their previously proven and accredited song writing abilities and then now and forever remembered regardless of what your keyboard cover stained, monitor splattered, game playing, loser of a oxygen consumer. just look up the record sales. nothing you can say can take away that success and won't stop anyone else from buying them in the future. damn you people are db's.
Magic | Reviewer: Ricardo | 12/8/09
Paul was never as good a lyricist as John, but he was the real musician behind The Beatles. It's all about magic, a Beatles tradition. "Climb on the back and we'll go for a ride in the sky": me too! We live in an ugly world and some magic is refreshing. I', 50, not 18, who cares? I'll fly as well.
One of those songs where you think you're hearing the lyriscs wrong... | Reviewer: Perry Normal | 5/27/09
...but sadly, you're not! He really is singing words that make no sense. It's amazing to me that there are thousands of apiring talented songwriters trying to catch a break with a great song lyric and McCartney gets a hit with this garbage! Unfortunately for us, it's catchy. :(
It stinks! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/23/09
Paul McCartney, as in so many other songs by him as well as Lennon, never made any sense to the public and they never were intended to. He was stoned when he wrote it and it stinks like it. There is no deeper meaning to the listener but only to the writer, if indeed he had one at all. If you have something to say…say it already, clearly. This is typical Beatle bull written one of their ex-leaders. The music is good but the lyrics crap.

Nina Ricci's perspex heeled shearling shoe boots
At first glance, these decadent Nina Ricci heels appear to have been caught in an ice storm, their heels freezing over into gigantic icicles. But on closer inspection they reveal a theme even more festive and seasonal: they're decorated with two turtle doves whose wings overhang the back and sides of the heel. Wow.
Much as I love a shoe boot, I can't help feeling a little disappointed that Ms. Ricci didn't opt to plant these gorgeous statement heels on the bottom of a slightly more elegant shoe: perhaps a delicate little D'orsay or classic court. But worn against an identical black background of thick tights, I can see how these close-fitting boots will create the most incredible, gravity defying effect. For once in my life, I wish the website I found them on did model shots!

Sir Alex Ferguson is wary of the threat posed by a Reading side that could well feel unrestrained by tonight's FA Cup fifth-round tie at Old Trafford, far from the worries of a relegation fight in the Barclays Premier League.
Brian McDermott's men currently sit 18th in the league, but an FA Cup trip to Old Trafford could be the perfect tonic to their troubles. That is exactly the warning Sir Alex will deliver to his players as he sends them out attempting to set up a quarter-final clash with either Middlesbrough or Chelsea.
The manager's United Review programme notes are a must-read before any game, and tonight the boss writes: "We welcome Brian McDermott and a Reading team that plays without frills or fuss. They are having a tough battle in a highly competitive lower end of the Premier League but, even so, have established a reputation for scoring late goals and never knowing when they are beaten."
That was certainly the case when the two teams met for league duties earlier this season – the Reds won a 4-3 thriller with all seven goals coming in a breathtaking first half. Playing with a similar abandon may well be on the cards this evening, according to the Reds boss.
"They come to Old Trafford in the Cup, perhaps relishing a break from their league worries, and they could be all the more dangerous for that because I feel Reading, for all their lowly position, are a decent side."
