Former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton fears America's 'decline in the world'
Warning of danger lurking in nearly every corner of the world, former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton offered a grim view on Friday of foreign relations in a speech at the Duquesne Club, Downtown.
An increasingly "belligerent" China, the authoritarian Vladimir Putin in Russia, a stumbling ballistic missile program in North Korea and an Iranian nuclear program threaten U.S. interests, Bolton told about 90 people attending the $50-a-plate luncheon in the Walnut Room sponsored by St. Vincent College and the America's Future Foundation, a conservative/libertarian advocacy group.
As China builds a deep-water navy and anti-ship ballistic missiles to increase its reach in Southeast Asia, "our response over the last eight years has been to say to China: 'Won't you please allow your currency to appreciate,' " Bolton said. Trade experts agree that China keeps its currency artificially low, which makes its exports cheaper and undercuts other countries' industries.
Bolton said upcoming negotiations over Iran's nuclear program aren't likely to do any good. The talks scheduled to begin on Wednesday in Baghdad will include Iran, and the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council -- the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China -- plus Germany.
Bolton told the Tribune-Review on Monday that he would prefer going to war with Iran, which he considers the only way to prevent Tehran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. If Iran gets nuclear weapons even though the past two American presidents vowed to prevent it, anti-American groups in the region will see it as the United States being "either unable or unwilling to stop it."
Bolton, a foreign policy advisor to presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, criticized President Obama for withdrawing combat troops from Iraq at the end of 2011, though the withdrawal timeline was negotiated with the Iraqi government in 2008, and agreed to by Bolton's former boss, President George W. Bush.
The agreement required U.S. combat troops to leave the country by Dec. 31. The last troops left two weeks earlier.
"It is a picture of American decline in the world," Bolton said.

Get the latest news from the BEES delivered for FREE to your inbox.
Brentford's teenage goalkeeper Jack Bonham has joined Calor League Premier Division Arlesey Town on a Youth Loan until the start of 2014.
The 20-year-old arrived at Griffin Park in the summer after he was released by Watford.
He had previously been on trial with The Bees and signed a two-year-contract at Griffin Park.
Jack completed his move to the Bedfordshire club this afternoon and will be available for their FA Trophy Third Round Qualifying match against Marlow tomorrow, Saturday November 16.
He will remain with Arlesey initially until January 2.
Mark Warburton, Brentford FC Sporting Director, said: "Jack is only 20 years of age.
"We know all about his strengths in terms of shot stopping and distribution.
"Jack is a young goalkeeper and now needs to go out and develop with match experience that allows him to work on his decision making.
"This loan move allows Jack to train with us during the week and then gain match experience.
"We will review how it is going in January and look to either extend it or bring him back depending on what is best for the player and the Club."
Jack, who has represented the Republic of Ireland at Under-17 level, signed a two year contract at Griffin Park.
He made his Brentford debut in a Capital One Cup win against Dagenham and Redbridge in August and has played three games for The Bees this season.

Julie Jacobson, Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Elizabeth Alvisar is exactly the sort of voter Mitt Romney needs.
A victim of the brutal economy in this swing state, the 30-year-old tax preparer has been out of work for months. She's a foe of abortion and gay marriage, and was naturally drawn to the Republican ticket.
But Alvisar has switched her support to President Barack Obama because of his support for legislation known as the DREAM Act. While Democrats failed to get the bill through Congress, Obama in June announced a change in policy to implement its key provision — allowing young people brought into the country without authorization as children to avoid deportation if they graduate high school or join the military.
"I have a lot of friends who've taken advantage of that opportunity," Alvisar said.
In the heavily Hispanic neighborhood where Alvisar lives, unemployment is high and home values are down. But Obama's immigration stance, and especially his executive order, has locked in support from a fast-growing demographic group that has been trending sharply Democratic in the wake of increasingly hard-line Republican positions on immigration.
Obama's campaign is counting on Hispanics providing the margin of victory not just in Nevada, but also in other swing states such as Colorado, Iowa, Virginia and North Carolina
"They know that he's on the right side of the immigration issue and wants to work with Congress for comprehensive immigration reform," deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter said. "They know he wakes up every day and thinks about how to secure the middle class and make it easier for young people to enter the middle class."
The importance of Hispanics as a voting bloc and immigration as an election-year issue was brought home during last week's presidential debate. Obama reminded viewers that Romney, who went hard to the right on the issue during the GOP primaries, had argued for "self-deportation" to solve the illegal immigration problem and took advice on the issue from the law professor who helped write Arizona's controversial immigration statute. The Republican challenger noted that Obama had promised to pass an immigration overhaul and had failed.
The Romney campaign says Hispanics, enduring a 9.9 percent jobless rate, which is more than 2 points higher than the national average, are a natural draw for the GOP ticket. "Hispanics are hurting almost more than any other demographic group under the Obama economy," Romney's Spanish-speaking son Craig, a frequent surrogate in the Hispanic community, said in a brief interview. "They're really struggling and they understand that this president has failed them and we need someone who understands how to create jobs."
The Romney campaign opened an office here in September and last week hosted New Mexico's popular Hispanic governor, Susana Martinez, in an effort to cut into Obama's edge in East Las Vegas, home to 42 percent of Nevada's Hispanic population.
But even some Romney supporters are pessimistic that Republicans can make inroads with a population that, many polls show, favors Obama by a 2-to-1 margin.
"It's going to take several years because we haven't engaged this community at all," said Joel Garcia, a conservative who formed a coalition to recruit Hispanics here. "You've got a lot of Hispanics who are conservative in how they live their lives and their values, but there's this hook in their mouth pulling them left called immigration."
Much like any other group, Hispanics often list the economy, jobs and education as top issues in polls. But the acrimonious immigration debate of the past decade has given that issue extra weight for them. "What started as a war on illegal immigration is now being perceived as a war on Latinos," said Matt Barreto, who polls Hispanics for the company Latino Decisions.

Nearly a month after the release of Kanye West's chart-topping Yeezus solo album, some notable celebrities have taken their artistic talent and added their own touches to his cover art.
Various industry celebrities like tattoo veteran Mister Cartoon and actor James Franco added some must-see designs to Ye's new LP.
Kanye promised the world Yeezy Season–pop-up projections worldwide, the unveiling of a new colorway for his cult sneaker, a capsule collection with A.P.C. and, ya know, one truly dark, envelope-pushing, brilliant-ass album. And Mr. West delivered. Yet there were none of the typical record label promotional tools–no singles on the radio, no music videos. Nothing except these simple posters: the words PLEASE ADD GRAFFITTI on the top, Def Jam's logo on the bottom, and an image of what could be any blank CD with red tape. We took Kanye's invitation into our own hands and mailed a poster to five of our favorite artists: ESPO, Curtis Kulig, Wil Fry, Mister Cartoon, and James Franco (yes, that James Franco). Here's what they sent back. (GQ)
While Cartoon drew inspiration from Ye's girlfriend Kim Kardashian, Franco cited 2000's flick American Psycho.
Mister Cartoon – World-renowned tattoo artist. Artist's take: "I got inspiration from Kim Kardashian's eye. Also inking my name up on the poster felt like I was tagging on a bathroom wall back in the day." James Franco – Thespian Artist's take: "I was asked to get axed in an American Psycho-themed commercial for Kanye, but instead of getting cut up, I made a cut-up American Psycho piece for him." (GQ)
Days prior to its release, Ye revealed his new album's simple cover art.
On Friday (May 31), DJ Semtex revealed what's being billed as the official cover, and it looks like the folks over at DONDA decided to tone things down a bit in comparison to the artwork that Kim Kardashian revealed on Ye's behalf about a week ago. Just as Kanye was getting ready to hit the "SNL" stage to perform "New Slaves" and "Black Skinhead" last week, Kardashian Instagrammed a photo that included a pair of the unreleased all-red Air Yeezy 2 sneakers and a picture of a crushed CD case held together with a piece of red gaffer tape, topped with melted Jesus piece. The latest image, however, includes none of the golden goop. It simply depicts a CD case (with disc inside), the same red gaffer tape with the word "Yeezus" scrawled on it and a note in all-caps compelling fans to "Please Add Graffiti." (MTV)
In May, Kim Kardashian unveiled what most believed to be the album cover.
Apparently, his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, is also part of his marketing team. She posted a photo on Instagram Saturday night showing the album artwork for Yeezus alongside a pair of the rapper's Air Yeezy sneakers, which he designed for Nike. "#Yeezus #RedYeezy's #SNL #Tonight #NewSlaves #YeezySeason #Donda #June18," she captioned the image. (USA Today)

Information for employees in the hybrid pension plan (hired before 2009)
At McGill, employees hired before 2009 have a hybrid plan, a Defined Contribution plan (DC) with a Defined Benefit Minimum (DBM), which gives members the best of both worlds. To learn more about this type of plan, please refer to the Hybrid Pension Plan brochure. Employees pay a set amount (a fixed percentage of salary), and McGill as an employer contributes to the pension plan as well. In return, members accumulate savings. Upon retirement, members can then convert these savings into retirement income through the purchase of an annuity and/or life income fund.
Historically, employees who retired when the financial markets were great and interest rates were high the employees received more than the Defined Benefit Minimum (DBM) amount. When the market is bad and interest rates are low we still have a DBM to rely on.
How the market affects hybrid plans
A Defined Contribution (DC) plan works very well in a boom market. However in the case of a Defined Benefit plan (DB) it means more money has to be put into the plan to sustain it when times are tough, so that the plan has enough money to fund the DBM payments to departing employees. In past years, the Pension Plan didn't need significant extra contributions. Recently, investment returns have been down for a long period of time, interest rates have been at a record low, and the fact that people are living longer is putting more strain on the plan. As a result, the University is obliged to make supplementary contributions to the pension plan in order to meet the defined benefit minimum obligations owed to departing employees. This supplementary annual payment is expected to grow substantially in coming years.
Pension plan deficits
Our pension plan deficit (the gap between the assets currently in the plan and the funds needed to meet the plan's obligations to its members) has increased rapidly. An independent actuarial firm calculated the deficit in 2009 to be $46 million. With the December 31, 2012 valuation the deficit jumped to $97 million. For more information on how an actuarial firm calculates deficit, click here.)
Often, defined benefit plans have the employer and employee agree on a percentage (most commonly a 50-50 split) of contribution needed to keep the plan sustainable. So the contributions to the plan, for both employer and employee, change over time, according to the return on investment, interest rates and demographic circumstances.
Rising contributions
However, in McGill's hybrid plan, the level of employee contributions hasn't changed since 1972. As a result, the University has needed to make special payments recently to ensure the sustainability of the plan.
McGill's additional contributions to cover the pension plan deficit
It should be noted that the design of the plan has been maintained; for employees hired prior to 2009 only the contributions have been modified.
Adjusting the plan
After 40 years, there was a need to adjust the contribution rates to meet today's financial realities. A number of measures have been introduced, and employees have been notified in mid-2011.
First, the University stopped making contributions to the plans of employees past the normal retirement age of 65.
Also, some in receipt of stipend income under the hybrid segment will see a change in the way future DBM calculations are undertaken.
Second, contributions to the plan increased, on January 1, 2013, by 2 or 3% for all MUPP members older than 40 years of age, whether they belong to the hybrid or defined contribution segments:
- Members 40 to 49 years of age have paid 7% of their gross salary to their pension, less 1.8% on the earnings subject to the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP).
Members aged 50 to 65 years of age have paid 8% of their gross salary to their pension, less 1.8% on the earnings subject to the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP).
- There was no change in contribution rates for members 39 years and younger. Members 39 years of age and younger will continue to contribute 5% of their gross salary to their pension less 1.8% on the earnings subject to the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP).
Third, effective January 1, 2014, a 2/3 employer (totalling $12.6 million)-1/3 employee (totalling $6.4 million) cost sharing of deficits, for employees in the hybrid segment, will be introduced for the employees and employer:
- Members 40 to 49 years of age will paid 9.2 % of their gross salary to their pension, less 1.8% on the earnings subject to the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP).
- Members aged 50 to 65 years of age will pay 10.2% of their gross salary to their pension, less 1.8% on the earnings subject to the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP).
- Members aged 39 or younger will pay 7.2% of their gross salary to their pension less 1.8% on the earnings subject to the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP).
- McGill will cost-share this increase in contribution from employees with $6.6 million and top it up with an estimated $6 million to continue providing departing employees with their full benefits.
For more information on this change please click here.
Should additional amendments need to be made to the pension plan in order to ensure the long term sustainability of the plan, we will consult with members of the plan on such changes before they are brought forward for approval through the various governance structures.
Why did the pension deficit increase from $46 million in 2009 to $97 million in 2012?
The Régie des rentes du Québec sets norms for calculating the health of a pension plan. The norms apply to a series of factors such as projections of what a given plan owes in today's dollars, reasonable assumptions on mortality and on the rate of return on investment, amongst others. The majority of the increase results from the application of the revised assumptions as required by the Régie since our last valuation in 2009.
Why can't McGill cover the deficit in full?
Before the December 31, 2012 valuation, the average of McGill's additional contribution was $6.1 million over each of the last three years. The University covered that amount in full from its operating budget. With a total of $19 million now required per year, we are not able to add any additional strain on our already thinly stretched operating budget.
Am I affected by these changes if I am not a member of the Hybrid Plan?
No. If you've joined McGill after January 1, 2009, you have a Defined Contribution plan which is not affected by the cost-sharing provisions of Amendment 24.
How long will Hybrid Plan members have to pay the 2.2 % increase in their contributions?
The cost-sharing contributions have been established based on the December 31, 2012 valuation and will be revisited at the time of the next valuation, which must be performed no later than December 31, 2015. If conditions improve at the time of a future valuation, the rate of cost-sharing contributions may be lowered.
Was it financially savvy for the University to offer the VRP since it increases the amount of individuals claiming pensions while it reduces the number of employees contributing to the plan?
The impact of the VRP on the Pension Plan will be minimal since employee contributions stop at age 65 and the VRP was offered to members who were at, near or past 65 years of age.
Did McGill mismanage its Hybrid Plan?
Most pension plans today are facing the same economic realities which are a direct cause of the drastic increases in pension deficits across North America and Europe. See related news stories. McGill's plan was designed in 1972 based on a different set of economic and socio-demographic realities and projections. Prior to January 1, 2013, McGill maintained the employee pension contributions at the same level for 40 years while taking on the deficit funding obligations when it was still manageable to do so.
With the volatility in the financial markets since 2008, along with a prolonged low interest rate environment and notable changes in the plan's demographics, the status quo could no longer be maintained. The changes we must implement are required to ensure the stability and sustainability of the Hybrid Plan for its members, notwithstanding the plan's relatively strong investment performance over recent periods. For example: as at June 30, 2013, the plan's Balanced Account recorded an annualized rate of return of 8.0% (before fees) over each of the past 10 years. This placed the plan in the top 11% when compared against a universe of 74 Canadian pension plans. An 8% annualized rate of return, although reasonable, is still not enough to offset the effects of low interest rates and the plan's changing demographics.
Why is the deficit evaluated at $13 million per year while the total additional contributions amount to $19 million?
$13 million represents the additional amount required each year to fund the benefit for current and past employees. This portion of the deficit will be cost-shared between McGill ($6.6 million) and employees ($6.4 million). McGill will top-up its $6.6 million share with an additional $6 million, paid from its operating budget so that departing McGill employees can receive 100% of their pension payouts.
Why does the University propose to eradicate the pension debt over 15 years?
Pension legislation in Quebec requires that ongoing (going concern) deficits be amortized and repaid over a 15-year horizon while pension funding requirements are reassessed following each actuarial valuation.
In Budget 2014 it was projected that additional pension plan payments would total $15 million over the next 5 years. How and why has the December 31, 2012 valuation changed that projection?
The $15 million estimate was based on the financial position of the plan at December 31, 2011. The financial performance of the plan in 2012 contributed to reducing future annual funding requirements to $13 million. However, the University must add an additional $6 million per year to be able to pay its departing employees their pension benefits in full. This means the total annual bill for additional payments is $19 million.
The pressures of increasing life expectancy on pension plans have been predicted for well over a decade, if not more. Why did the size of the problem only become apparent to McGill with the 2009 valuation?
Our valuations are based on the Régie des rentes du Québec's standards. The mortality tables used in performing valuations are prescribed by the Régie and are influenced by the recommendations of the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (CIA) which looks at overall trends in North America. However, increases in life expectancy are only one factor used to evaluate the health of a plan. They are not the determinant factor. But more changes loom on the horizon. Following the results of a recent study performed by the CIA, the use of Canadian-only life tables will be recommended in the near future because it will more accurately take into account the increased life expectancy of Canadians over Americans. Such a change is likely to further increase pension liabilities in Canada.
Is Amendment 24 legal?
Amendment 24 is legal. The Board of Governors is permitted to amend the pension plan and most, if not all, plan sponsors have had to make significant changes to their pension plan arrangements in recent years. McGill is not alone in this regard.
Given the financial costs of a Defined Benefit portion of the Hybrid Plan, does the University plan to eventually terminate this plan?
The changes introduced in this and prior pension plan amendments are intended to maintain the hybrid arrangement for employees who joined McGill before January 1, 2009. As of January 1, 2009, new employees participate in a defined contribution plan and as members retire from the hybrid arrangement, over time, it will come to an end.
Are other universities sponsoring Hybrid Pension plan arrangements also opting to decrease their portion of the Defined Contribution (DC) in order to make the pension arrangement sustainable?
This mechanism is being used by other universities who sponsor hybrid pension plans. This approach facilitates the administration of the cost-sharing measures.
Who conducted the December 31, 2012 valuation?
The valuation was conducted by Eckler Inc, an independent actuarial firm.

Eminem- Spend Some Time Lyrics
Eminem- Spend Some Time Lyrics
If there's any bitches in this room, then there's something I gotta say
For all the fools who fell for the first girl who comes their way
I've been down that road and now I'm back, sittin' on square one
Tryna pick myself up where I started from
[Obie Trice]
I never woulda thought that I'd see you outta control
Even though my penis was deep down in your hole
You should know between us we was like mates to soul
Nothing could intervene us, especially no hoes
You was more so the chalant type, I chose
To more shows, haunted you nights I suppose
That's how it go, with time spent, emotion grows
In the beginning, friends we decided to roll
So who's responsible when you get excited, explode
And Obie's grinning, then you invite that Obie's cold
But bitches the gon' talk, niggas they gon' hate
We established this way before we became mates
So whats required is that you chill with all that fire
Get your desire when I retire
Spend some time with me, say that you'll be mine
I never thought I'd find someone to be mine
Lord knows I was right cuz you just crossed the line
Spend some time with me, say that you'll be mine
I used to say I never met a girl like you before
Still ain't got a fuckin' clue as to who you truly are
Almost went as far as introducing you to my daughters
Till you went as far as goin' and snoopin' through my drawers
Now I just feel stupid for the loop that you threw me for
Can't believe I almost flew the coop for some stupid whore
You used to say all you wanted was for me to be yours
All I ever wanted from you was a few booty calls
If you recall I used to treat you as a groupie broad
When we fucked I refused to even take my jewelry off
But it threw me off the first time I called and you blew me off
It was a shock, it struck me as odd but it turned me on
You started getting moody on me, pretty soon we'd argue
And the ruder you got, the more beautiful you got to me
And who woulda even knew that who woulda even thought possibly
Cupid could shoot another one of them God damn darts at me
It's true that I got shot in the heart
But when someone seems too good to be true, they usually are
But see, when you're in it it's too hard to see
Till you pull up and see some other dude's car parked and reach
Up under the seat as your heart starts to beat
Before you make a decision that's life altering
And just as you halt and you turn and you start to leave
You hear them words echoing, almost haunting, that taunting ring
[Stat Quo]
In most cases, Stat's attitude is fuck-a-bitch
My only motive is to get head and fuck a bitch
But you was different, thought we shared a covenant
Even held your hand in public, we sufferin' because of this
Shorty on some whole 'notha other shit
Tryna play sick thinkin' i'mma trick off rick
I'll admit, I was caught in the mix, down to commit
Feed you the best of me, I shoulda fed you piss
We started off closer than close
But who coulda predicted to know, your triflin' ways woulda stopped our growth
And the final result, back in that same boat
I ask myself, do I love these hoes? NO!
[50 cent]
Em introduced us, "50 this is Tanya, Tanya this is 50″
Then slid off and left her to kick it with me
I complimented her, I said you have very nice lips
With my imagination, I could see her suckin' my dick
We played the phone game, a week later, shit changed fast
Had her comin' over in a cab to give me some ass
Downtown Manhattan on the balcony, stare at the skyline
Penthouse full of imported shit, you know how I grind
She got to talkin', talkin' like an opportunist too
Why talk when suckin' my dick is the real career move?
Said she's an inspiring actress, she do videos for practice
Yeah, yeah, know how many times I done heard that shit?

University of Texas Arlington
Calculus Bowl promises intense competition Feb. 5
Friday, January 29, 2010
Media Contact: Sue Stevens
ARLINGTON - A square has sides of length 10, and a circle centered at one of its vertices has radius 10. What is the area of the union of the regions enclosed by the square and the circle?
Students in calculus classes from more than two dozen high schools throughout North Texas will compete to answer questions like the one above in the 10th Annual University of Texas at Arlington Calculus Bowl from 2:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 5, in Room 110, Pickard Hall, 411 S. Nedderman Drive.
High school teams of up to five members will compete in several rounds of multiple-choice pre-calculus and calculus questions displayed on a computer projection system. The public is welcome to cheer on the teams, many of whom will be dressed creatively to represent their schools. The competition intensifies between 3:30 and 7 p.m. as teams battle for victory.
"It becomes quite lively; it's an energy charged environment," said Hristo Kojouharov, associate professor of mathematics and Calculus Bowl director.
Free Calculus Bowl T-shirts are given to each contestant. Awards, including a $3,000 stipend to work with UT Arlington faculty on cutting-edge research if the student attends UT Arlington as a full-time mathematics major, are presented to first and second-place teams and finalists.
UT Arlington has added an additional competition this year for students interested in an even more challenging individual competition. This competition begins at 9 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 6, in Room 110, Nedderman Hall and culminates in a "math battle' by two teams of the highest ranked students, Kojouharov said.
Contact Kojouharov 817-272-5763 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information, or visit http://www.uta.edu/math/calcbowl/.
(The answer to the problem is 100+75*pi.)
The University of Texas at Arlington is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.

- December 1, 2014 WPU Community Lovefeast A Peace Christmas Tradition William Peace University invites members of the Peace community and our neighbors to join us for the annual WPU Community Lovefeast in Dinwiddie Chapel (Main Building, 2nd Floor). Rev. Dr. R. Lee Carter, our William C. Bennett Chaplain and Assistant Professor of Religion, welcomes members of the community to receive Communion during this festive event. A Lovefeast service is a service dedicated to Christian love and is most famously practiced by the Moravians. A Lovefeast seeks to strengthen the bonds and the spirit of harmony, goodwill, and congeniality, as well as to forgive past disputes and instead love one another. The Moravian Lovefeast is based on the Agape feast and the meals of the early churches described in the Bible in the Acts of the Apostles, which were partaken in unity and love. Traditionally for European, Canadian, and American Lovefeasts, a sweetened bun and coffee (sweetened milky tea in Germany, Holland and England) is served to the congregation in the pews by dieners (from the German for servers); before partaking, a simple table grace is said. The foods and drinks consumed from congregation may vary tremendously at the Lovefeast and are usually adapted from what the congregations have available. Services in some Colonial-era Lovefeasts, for example, used plain bread and water; some in Salem were known to have served beer. The Moravian Lovefeast also concentrates on the singing of hymns and listening to music which may come from the organ or choir. The songs and hymns chosen usually describe love and harmony. The congregation can talk quietly with their fellow brothers and sisters in Christ about their spiritual walk with God. The William Peace University Community Lovefeast will feature special student, faculty and staff speakers and dieners. Event Date: Monday, Dec. 1, 2014 Event Time: 6:00 p.m. Event Location: Dinwiddie Chapel, 2nd Floor of Main Building Admission: FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC view Event

Celebs in Denim: Bradley Cooper in Diesel
The Hangover Hottie, Bradley Cooper was trying to avoid the paps in a baseball cap, white shirt and a pair of Diesel jeans. Although he was pretty well known before, appearing in films like Wet Hot American Summer and The Wedding Crashers, Bradley has hit megastar status after The Hangover, so much that now he's even been linked to Jennifer Aniston.

Celebs in Denim: Cameron Diaz in J Brand
Cameron Diaz wore J Brand's 7/8″ Cropped pencil jeans in Ink, twice as she promoted her new movie, My Sister's Keeper. First, she wore them with a black sheer blouse and cage heels for Good Morning America. Then she changed her blouse and cuffed her jeans at the bottom to chat with Alexa Chung at MTV. Either way, I think these jeans make her legs look amazing!

Celebs in Denim: Gisele Bundchen in Paige Premium
Model mom-to-be Gisele Bundchen was just spotted in the Calabasas Jean by Paige Premium Denim. The Calabasas is a Skinny Flare, an ultra fitted cut that stays skinny through the knee and flares out into a bell. The jean also features flap back pockets – strategically placed to lift the derriere. The ultra flattering shape balances out the form and perks up the bootie… all in a 70's inspired vintage wash. The jean is a long time favorite of the super model, she has been spotted in these jeans multiples times! I adore her outfit and of course her cute little doggie!

Bethesda, Md., Wed., Nov. 19, 2014 - An international group of researchers has found powerful clues to why certain processes and systems in the mouse are so different from those in people. Building on years of mouse and gene regulation studies, they have developed a resource that can help scientists better understand how similarities and differences between mice and humans are written in their genomes. Their findings �are reported by the mouse ENCODE Consortium online Nov. 19, 2014 (and in print Nov. 20) in four papers in Nature and in several other publications. Read more
