With the present implementation of the federal Affordable Care Act (the new federal health care law), it is useful to review and update some of the eligibility requirements for medical benefits under Medicare and, in Massachusetts, for Medicaid and the Health Care Safety Net. Several of the eligibility cut-offs have been raised, so disabled patients may be newly eligible for health insurance benefits. Learn more.
The IACFS/ME has called for the NIH to set aside $7-$10 million annually for research on ME/CFS beginning in Fiscal Year 2015. Read the full text of the letter below.
International Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic EncephalomyelitisApril 21, 2014Open Letter to Dr. Francis CollinsDirector, National Institutes of Health
Dear Dr. Collins:
On behalf of the International Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (IACFS/ME), we thank you for your attention to ME/CFS, and encourage the NIH to continue and strengthen research on this debilitating illness.
Last month, the IACFS/ME held its biennial research and clinical conference, attracting some 400 professionals and patients to discuss advances in biomedical and behavioral research on the diagnosis, pathophysiology, genetics, and treatments for ME/CFS. The overwhelming consensus from the attendees is that the research efforts, largely supported by NIH, are paying off. We are tantalizingly close to gaining an understanding of potential biomarkers, genetic traits, brain dysfunction, cytokine abnormalities, autoimmune responses, neurological disorders, and treatments. However, we need a special "push" at this time to solve the mysteries of this illness.
The Social Security Administration, on April 3, 2014, has issued a new Ruling, Evaluating Claims Involving Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. This Ruling is now the legal basis by which Social Security evaluates CFS/CFIDS/ME disability claims and reviews for both Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This is a very important development for disabled patients who are unable to work and need to obtain Social Security financial and medical benefits.The new Ruling replaces the former CFS Ruling (SSR-99-2p) issued in 1999. The 2014 Ruling sets detailed standards for the medical evaluation of claims: including the documentation of specific symptoms, signs, laboratory findings and medical tests by a physician. The Ruling places importance on detailed, longitudinal medical notes in the patient's record - as well as the physician's evaluation of the severity of the illness and its limiting effects on the person's ability to work.The new Ruling is an improvement on the 1999 Ruling and includes findings from both the 2003 Canadian Definition and the 2011 International Consensus Definition. The Massachusetts CFIDS/ME & FM Associationhas posted a full evaluation and explanation of the new Ruling as a guide for patients.To view the new Ruling: http://www.ssa.gov/OP_Home/rulings/di/01/SSR2014-01-di-01.html
We received this message from United States Food and Drug Administration regarding the Fibromyalgia Public Meeting on Patient-Focused Drug Development on Wednesday, March 26, 2014:
Dear fibromyalgia meeting attendees,
Thank you for attending the public meeting on fibromyalgia patient-focused drug development! FDA collected valuable information on fibromyalgia, the impact it has on patients' lives, and patients' perspectives on treatment options. We truly appreciate the courage, effort and time invested from everyone who was able to attend the meeting in person or on the web.
The Massachusetts CFIDS/ME & FM Association was pleased and honored to welcome back Anthony Komaroff, M.D., Simcox-Clifford-Higby Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Clinician and Researcher, as the keynote speaker at our Fall 2013 Educational Lecture. The title of Dr. Komaroff's talk was "CFS Research: Recent Progress and Challenges." The lecture took place on Saturday, November 2, 2013 at the Morse Institute Library in Natick, MA.
A video of this lecture is now available at YouTube.

Dr. Komaroff's 2013 lecture "CFS Research: Recent Progress and Challenges" (56 minutes)
Dr. Komaroff's 2013 lecture Questions & Answers (37 minutes)Some of the highlights from Dr. Komaroff's talk included advancements in gene technology and other methods which have improved the ability to research CFS and other illnesses. Dr. Komaroff explained that every gene can now be identified, but even more important, researchers can determine whether genes are turned on or off and detect changes or abnormalities in this process—these differences are what really matter because they may provide the link to the development of disease. He also reviewed several new treatments that have been studied scientifically and have shown encouraging results. Lastly, Dr. Komaroff emphasized the growing interest in CFS by scientists around the world.

Gay-rights advocates are celebrating the news that George Rekers — co-founder of the conservative Christian group Family Research Council and a key player in the movement to "cure" homosexuality — was caught renting a young male prostitute for a 10-day European vacation. Rekers, 61, says he hired escort "Lucien" from Rentboy.com to help him "lift luggage" while he recovers from surgery, reports the Miami New Times. Bloggers aren't buying it, but could there be a nonsexual reason for Rekers to hire a gay escort? (Watch an MSNBC report about George Rekers' scandal)
Rekers' excuse stinks: Rekers hired a dishy rent-boy to "hold his bags"? asks Lisa Derrick at La Figa. Please. If the "virulently anti-gay" Rekers had really wanted a luggage carrier, he'd have turned to "an employment agency or a church group," not a site that's very clearly "dedicated to uniting men who are willing to pay for sex with very fit, very naked men who would like to make some extra cash by having sex."
"Me thinks the homophobe doth protesteth WAY too much"
It was evangelism, not pleasure: "Like Jesus Christ, I deliberately spend time with sinners with the loving goal to try to help them," says George Rekers, in a Facebook response to blogger Joe Jervis. And my "travel assistant," "Lucien," is a good example of that. "I spent a great deal of time sharing scientific information on the desirability of abandoning homosexual intercourse, and I shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ with him in great detail."
"Dr. George Rekers, patron of male prostitutes, responds to me on Facebook"
Sign me up for that cure: If being "cured" of homosexuality "involved all-expense-paid trips to Europe and large fees," says Dan Savage in The Stranger, I'm sure more of us gays would take Rekers up on his treatment. "Hell, my boyfriend and I volunteer to accompany George Rekers on this next trip to Europe (provided there's no sex, just easily-tuned-out bible verses)."
"Whatever lifts your luggage, George"
Rekers is the one who needs compassion: "You know, Rekers may not have actually had sex with the kid," as both claim, says Timothy Kincaid in Box Turtle Bulletin. But how long can Rekers convince himself that his "urges to travel for ten days" in the company of a male escort are less about "endless evangelism" than they are about dancing on "the edges of his own unwanted desires"?

Most heart attacks happen when a blood vessel supplying part of the heart becomes blocked. When that part of the heart stops getting enough blood and oxygen, it can be damaged, causing a heart attack. Usually, the blockage is caused by a fatty material (plaque) that builds up on the inside of blood vessels and a blood clot.
Signs and symptoms of a heart attack vary from person to person. Many people feel severe chest pain, but some people have little pain or other symptoms instead. Here are some common heart attack symptoms:
* Chest pain. You may feel pain, pressure, or squeezing along the breast bone or in other parts of your chest. The pain or discomfort may spread to your arm, jaw, neck, or back. The pain might feel sharp, dull, or achy, and it doesn't go away when you rest or take medicine.
* Shortness of breath. You may have trouble catching your breath.
* Sweating and paleness. Your skin may become pale or look blue, and your arms and legs may feel cool and moist.
* Weakness, nausea, or stomach upset. You may vomit or feel queasy.
If you think you may be having a heart attack, immediately call 911 for help instead of having someone drive you to the hospital. The healthcare provider or emergency responder will ask about your pain or other symptoms you're having, including when these symptoms started and if anything makes them feel better or worse. You'll be asked about medicines you're taking (prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal) and about any medical problems, including allergies. (If you're taking drugs for erectile dysfunction, be sure to mention them because these drugs can interact dangerously with some heart medications.)
You'll be given oxygen to help your breathing, an I.V. will be started, and you will be placed on a heart monitor. A healthcare provider will perform a physical exam and order tests, including an electrocardiogram-a painless test that records the heart's electrical activity. Blood will be taken for lab tests. Results from these tests help decide whether you've had a heart attack and how to treat you.
You'll probably be given three medicines:
* nitroglycerin to increase blood flow to the heart
* aspirin to prevent blood clots from forming and blocking blood vessels
* morphine to ease pain and anxiety.
Depending on how long you've been having symptoms, you may receive a "clot-busting" drug to reopen the blocked blood vessel. Or you may need a procedure such as cardiac catheterization and angioplasty to open the blood vessel, or bypass surgery to restore blood flow to the affected part of the heart.
Your healthcare provider will talk with you about lifestyle changes you can make to keep your heart healthy. You'll be referred to a cardiac rehabilitation program and a support group, if you need one. Follow these recommendations to reduce your risk of another heart attack:
* Stop smoking. Nicotine causes blood vessels to narrow, which could lead to another heart attack.
* If you have high blood pressure or diabetes, follow your healthcare provider's plan to keep your blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight under control.
* Eat a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol.
* If you drink alcohol, limit yourself to one drink per day for women or two per day for men.
* Exercise regularly. Your healthcare provider can help you find the right exercise plan for you.

One of the oldest churches in the county is headed in a younger direction.
Pete Jones, 29, became the pastor of First Presbyterian Church on May 1.
The fact that church members sought out someone young to be their pastor, "says a lot about the direction they wanted to go," Jones said.
One of Jones's goals for the church is to "open our doors" to the community and show community members that Christianity is also about having fun, he said.
A Lawrenceburg police officer was injured late Friday afternoon while chasing a suspect who fled on foot on the Bluegrass Parkway.
Officer Jeremy Cornish sustained an arm injury when he fell while chasing the suspect.
Lt. Chris Atkins of the Lawrenceburg Police Department said Cornish was taken to a hospital for treatment. He said Cornish had a cast on his arm Monday, but X-rays were negative.
"He's going to the doctor today to make sure there are no torn ligaments or anything," Atkins said Tuesday morning.
The Lawrenceburg Fair and Horse Show will include a host of new features this year.
Added will be a diesel truck pull featuring five classes, and a demolition derby.
The truck pull is scheduled for June 22 at 7:30 p.m. The demolition derby is scheduled for June 23 at 7:30 p.m. Local entrants are encouraged, organizers said.
Other new attractions will include a clown act that will perform two shows each night and mingle with the crowd between shows.
Mercer and Lincoln counties have each confirmed one case of the H1N1 virus, or swine flu, The Advocate-Messenger in Danville reports.
Both cases were confirmed in adults.
"The (Mercer County) person is recovering at home on anti-virals and feeling much better," Kathy Crown-Weber, director of the Mercer County Health Department, told The Advocate-Messenger on Friday.
The Mercer person had no contact with schools or day cares and did not require hospitalization, Crown-Weber said.
The dam that keeps a 5-acre lake from swamping a house below it in Woodlake subdivision is leaking, and taxpayers could be on the hook to make it stop.
The state's Division of Water has for years pestered county officials about the dam, but now it appears that the agency is getting serious and is threatening the county with fines up to $1,000 a day unless corrective action is taken.
Woodlake subdivision is located in the Stringtown area, just off Harrodsburg Road.
The fiscal court has placed the creation of a vicious dog ordinance in the hands of several private citizens and two magistrates.
Judge-Executive Steve Cornish announced last Wednesday that the committee will include magistrates David Ruggles and Buddy Sims; local Humane Society Director Donna Callahan; veterinarian Aaron Goodpaster; Nick Risden, who owns a company called K-9 Motivation in Salvisa; and Pam Rogers, the state's national representative to the Humane Society.
UPDATED 3 P.M., MAY 27: The South Anderson Water District lifted its boil water advisory, which had been in effect since Sunday.
All customers west of Beaver Lake Road to the Spencer-Nelson county lines and north to the Mercer-Washington county lines may now resume regular use of their water.
Judge Linda Armstrong heard the following cases during Anderson District Court proceedings Feb. 26.
Jeffery W. Goodlett, review, operating a motor vehicle under the influence -- continued to March 9.
David M. Matheny, sentencing, fourth-degree assault (domestic violence, no visible injury) -- sentenced to 60 days, to serve five days (balance conditionally discharged for two years), $153, installment/deferred payment March 26.
Judge Donna Dutton heard the following cases during Anderson District Court proceedings Feb. 19.
Emily B. Bishop, arraignment, violation of a Kentucky emergency protection order/domestic violence order -- pleaded not guilty, pretrial conference March 11, motion/disposition/trial date March 3.
Matthew B. Bishop, arraignment, violation of a Kentucky emergency protection order/domestic violence order -- pleaded not guilty, pretrial conference March 11, motion/disposition/trial date March 30.
Chicken livers will be the order of the day May 30 when the Anderson County Sheriff's Department hosts the sixth annual DARE Fishing Derby at Hope Community Church.
The annual event draws hundreds of young anglers and their parents hoping to land a prize-winning catfish from the church's lake.
Sheriff Troy Young said the event is a perfect way for families to get together and share some quality time.

Future of Nursing Initiative
MONDAY, March 5 (HealthDay News) -- For children with asthma, an increased body mass index (BMI) is associated with a decreased response to corticosteroids (CS) and increased daily requirements for inhaled CS (ICS), according to a study presented at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, held from March 2 to 6 in Orlando, Fla.
To investigate whether BMI affects the CS response in children with asthma, Rolando A. Nunez, M.D., from National Jewish Health in Denver, and colleagues studied peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells from 61 children with asthma, aged 2 to 18 years, who underwent clinically indicated bronchoscopies.
The researchers found that 34 children had normal weight, 13 were overweight, and 14 were obese. Fifty-six participants used ICS. BMI percent correlated significantly with plasma leptin (P = 0.0001), daily ICS dose (P = 0.0035), and dexamethasone-induced mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphatase-1 (MKP-1) in PBMC and BAL cells (P = 0.0009 and 0.0205, respectively). There was a negative association between MKP-1 induction and the daily requirement of ICS (P = 0.0303).
"Chronic inflammation, as seen in obese patients, is thought to interfere with the body's response to corticosteroids, leading to a higher corticosteroid requirement in patients with asthma," a co-author said in a statement. "More studies are needed to find out if the response to the medication might improve if obese children with asthma lose weight."

DotA 2 threads should be in Off Topic. That said, some good stuff.
The gameplay will pretty much be the same (updated of course), in-game voicechat, leavers will be replaced with xp gaining bots, a coaching mode, and community integrated features (allowing the community to better serve the community).
I'm amazed they literally cloned Dota exactly. This is the Starcraft 2 approach and it earned Blizzard a huge amount of m...
So basically the winning strat for game makers nowadays is to take an old great game, repackage it and watch the money pour in. At least if you're a brand name game maker; otherwise you're called a copycat.
How come threads about HoN stayed in general?
Competition will be a good thing. This is assuming that DotA 2 will let LoL compete with it. At least LoL will be free.
Pen is probably just filtering the mass link posting about it today. He is being a good mod by doing this and knowing it would happen.

The heavy investment required for new generation technologies clearly is a global phenomenon, but global-resource competition to build power plants is making power-plant development more expensive—and may even limit the number that any one utility in any one country can develop.
Christian Hamaker
After years of feasibility studies, lack of development funds, and escalating fuel costs across the energy spectrum, ocean energy is suddenly a very hot topic.
Bruce W. Radford
Part way through the Feb. 27 conference on electric competition, it was so quiet you could hear a hockey puck slide across the ice. No, hell had not frozen over. Rather, it was Commissioner Marc Spitzer, who had found a clever story to ease the tension and allay fears that FERC somehow might want to undo the sins of the past, and give up its dream of workable markets for wholesale power.
Mark T. Williams
Professor Mark T. Williams goes in depth on the TXU leveraged buyout.
Dan Rastler
In a hydrogen-electric economy, power companies could see very large market opportunities—and play a major role in enabling and accelerating implementation.
John D. Wilson and Brian H. Potts
John D. Chandley, Principal, LECG LLC: Bruce Radford's "An Inconvenient Fact" provides a helpful critique of a fundamental element of open-access transmission reform, one of the most important rulemaking cases affecting electricity regulation at FERC.
Cynthia Bogorad, Spiegel & McDiarmid, Washington: From my perspective representing transmission-dependent utilities, I am very sympathetic to the underlying concerns that appear to be driving the TDAs' proposal. However, the TDAs' proposal is not the answer.
By Gary C. Young, Ph.D., P.E.
Ethanol plants either are operating, under construction, or planned for several areas in the Midwest. These same areas also have municipal solid waste (MSW) produced daily in an existing landfill. In addition, these areas have a need for establishing or extending a landfill.
As an alternative to the existing concept of a landfill, plasma-arc technology has been applied to the treatment of MSW. Known as plasma-arc gasification for the treatment of MSW, this recent development would eliminate or minimize the need for a landfill.
Chuck Chakravarthy and John Rhoads
Energy producers already have begun to prepare for coming CO2 regulations. As a first step, many companies are implementing internal trading schemes. In this article, we have focused on AEP and Southern Co. as case studies of how companies are preparing for a carbon-constrained world, because they are in the top 5 companies in the United States with the highest proportion of coal-fired generation in their fleets.
Jay Kumar, President, Economic & Technical Consultants Inc.: Could Hind Farag and Gary L. Hunt point out any winner whose power costs have decreased after the implementation of LMP? I can bet they won't find even one single (real) entity. ... I am glad that MISO is sticking to the original basis of a supposedly competitive market.
Diane Moody, Director, Statistical Analysis, American Public Power Association: "The Fallacy of High Prices" purports to show that restructuring of wholesale power markets has resulted in significant benefits. However, the analysis it offers in support of this proposition is not credible.
Utilities need to begin planning for U.S.-wide emissions restrictions that will be more effective than state efforts. Such restrictions are no longer a matter of "if," but "when."

The campaign for former Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell has filed amendments to fundraising reports filed in 2009 and 2010 with a lawyer blaming computer software for mistakes on them.
The Delaware Republican also filed her fundraising report for the first quarter of this year. The amendments and the 2011 report became public Thursday at the Senate Office of Public Records.
O'Donnell, a tea party favorite who lost to Democrat Chris Coons in November, has faced scrutiny over her campaign practices.
In a memo to the Federal Election Commission, lawyer Cleta Mitchell wrote that because of a software problem, receipts and payments that should have been linked to the 2010 primary were mistakenly linked to the general election. Mitchell says the campaign amended the reports because of that and other mistakes that were found.

Apple appears to be making less of a profit from each new iPad than it did when it launched the previous model a year ago, according to a research firm's analysis.
IHS iSuppli took apart a new iPad on Friday, the day the device went on sale in the U.S. and nine other countries, and found that the components are more expensive than those of the iPad 2.
The third iPad comes in several versions starting at $499, the same price as the iPad 2 at launch.[dmc-related-post-wp numitems="3" title="Also read"]
Apple has priced all three generations of the tablet aggressively, making it hard for competitors to match its features at the same price. It makes less from each iPad than from each iPhone.
As a whole, Apple is wildly profitable, earning $33 billion in net income on $81 billion in revenue in the last calendar year.
ISuppli said a new iPad with 32 gigabytes of RAM and a cellular modem, which costs $729 in stores, costs $364.35 to manufacture. That's 9 percent more than the $335 it cost to make the corresponding iPad 2 a year ago, when it came out.
The corresponding version of the first iPad cost about $276 to make in 2010, according to iSuppli's estimate.
The higher-resolution display and the larger battery needed to support it are the main reasons the new iPad is more expensive than the iPad 2. It has four times as many pixels as the iPad 2′s screen. ISuppli estimates the display costs Apple $87, plus $40 for the touch-sensitive layer.
The new iPad battery has 70 percent more capacity, but the new display consumes all that additional power, so the battery life is the same as for the old model.
Also contributing to the cost increase is the new cellular modem in some models. It can use faster "4G LTE" networks in the U.S. and Canada.
Samsung Electronics Co. remains the largest single supplier of iPad components. It made the display in the unit iSuppli examined and it supplies all iPad processors. ISuppli suspects Samsung also made the battery and supplies flash storage memory for some versions of the new iPad.
In fact, half of the new iPad's "bill of materials" may be for Samsung components, iSuppli said.
Apple and Samsung don't comment on their business relationships.
Samsung also makes its own tablets and they have succeeded better than most competitors.
ISuppli's cost estimate does not include packaging or overhead costs like design, marketing and software.

Leaders are called on to do many things for their organizations: articulate a vision for a better tomorrow, mobilize people, constantly drive improved outcomes, and so on. However, there's one thing the best leaders do that is never written about. They are masterful at simplifying things.

Filthy gay perverts at the TSA got what they were looking for.
Submitted by AnAppealToHeavenWash on Thu, 11/22/2012 - 04:15. Permalink
This congressman needs to string these gay perverts up before congress and ask them why they even want such a job... for the money or for the dirty pleasure it gives them.
Anyone who wants to work for the TSA should be immediately disqualified from all other forms of police and security work... because the TSA hires only perverts of a gay variety.
Why else would a person take a job where the repeated task is to fondle and molest your victims.
Who here thinks that that sounds like a "fun" job?

Audit: Flaws but little abuse in Public Safety payrollBy LISA RATHKE
The Associated Press | February 27,2013MONTPELIER An independent audit of the Vermont State Police payroll performed after a trooper fraudulently claimed large amounts of overtime found that the overtime system is vulnerable to fraud and waste but rarely abused, according to the results released Tuesday.
The audit indicates most Department of Public Safety employees were a low risk for fraud despite problems in the process for approving, reporting and monitoring overtime.
Gov. Peter Shumlin requested the state auditors office review the departments payroll after former Vermont State Police Sgt. James Deeghan was accused in July of padding his time sheets and writing hundreds of fake traffic tickets.
Investigators eventually said they had documented nearly $213,000 in fraud between 2008 and 2012 by Deeghan, who pleaded guilty to the charges and was sentenced to two years in prison in January.
The state hired StoneTurn Group LLP to do the audit. It reviewed the overtime for all Department of Public Safety employees and processes for reporting and approving those time sheets.
Although the state is planning to implement a new payroll reporting system that is likely to address some of the problems, the audit made recommendations for other changes to prevent fraud. The audit recommends requiring supervisors to do periodic reviews of overtime and to hold them accountable for errors in time reports. It also advises the state to implement detailed reports to monitor overtime along with periodic independent reviews.
According to the audit, the current system is flawed because it allows troopers to work without prior approval while the use of third-party contracts working with local town patrols or through federal grants is inherently vulnerable to abuse. The report also cited anecdotal reports that supervisors regularly rubber-stamp time sheets without properly reviewing them.
Public Safety Commissioner Keith Flynn applauded the effort, saying the report allows the department to make thoughtful and appropriate changes to improve its payroll and overtime process.
With the implementation of a new state payroll reporting system, the continued routine overtime audits of employees, and the development of more robust program reporting codes, our risk for fraud, abuse and waste will continue to decrease, he said.MORE IN Vermont NewsHYDE PARK A lawyer for a sheriffs deputy who saw a domestic abuse investigation against him...

Coming to prominence towards the end of the 'New Wave of British Heavy Metal', Venom's first two albums – Welcome to Hell (1981) and Black Metal (1982) – are considered a major influence on thrash metal and extreme metal in general. Venom's second album proved influential enough that its title was used as the name of an extreme metal subgenre: black metal.

Between Stephan Caras's glittery gold pantsuits and HD Homme's metallic blazers, the final day of Toronto Fashion Week was the flashiest yet. (Especially compared to yesterday's relaxed separates from designers like Soia and Kyo and Malorie Urbanovich). Show-goers were treated to high-intensity looks, particularly from Mikael D, who presented a collection of elaborate gowns and even sent a model down the runway in a dramatic wedding ensemble. The best outfits came from Brit Wacher and Mikhael Kale, whose asymmetrical silhouettes occasionally landed in that sweet spot between avant-garde and wearable. Here, the best (but mainly, the most ridiculous) looks from the final day of Toronto Fashion Week.

Toronto Fashion Week: Grecian gowns, shiny sweaters and 13 more of the best and worst looks from day four
The fourth day of Fashion Week was chock-full of pretty pieces that you'll probably actually want to wear come spring. Unlike day three, menswear took a backseat to some stellar outfits for girls, including uniquely layered looks from Sam Kong and casual knit dresses in rich greens and burgundies from Malorie Urbanovich. (Toronto-based designer Matthew Gallagher's collection of elegant gowns was also a favourite.) Of course, there were some sartorial misses, too, like this tacky metallic sweater from Rudsak. The best surprise? Perhaps when Montreal brand Soia and Kyo sent models down a grassy runway with a few adorable French bulldogs in tow.

Street Style Trend Report: Fashion Week attendees channel off-duty models in distressed denim
Whether it's a '90s nostalgia thing—or just a comfort thing, as Fashion Week draws to a close—show-goers have been ditching fancier outfits in favour of relaxed, distressed denim. Along with pretty midi-skirts and patterned pantsuits, we spotted plenty of worn-in, ripped-up Levis, plus a few Canadian tuxedos. It's a cool, laid-back look, and best accentuated with a bold red lip, punchy accessories or a chunky heel.

Toronto Fashion Week: the best and most absurd looks from day three (including pieces from Mackage and Klaxon Howl)
The third day of Toronto Fashion Week saw a mix of shows from established labels and up-and-comers. Luxe outerwear brand Mackage went for colour this season, presenting chic spring coats and bomber jackets in bold blues and yellows. Great menswear pieces appeared throughout the day, including timeless looks from Christopher Bates and Klaxon Howl (just not this odd fisherman's outfit). Our favourite collection was from Australian-based newcomer Hayley Elsaesser, who closed out the evening with a whirlwind of flirty separates in mix-and-match candy-hued patterns.

Street Style: Toronto Fashion Week style setters pose hard outside the tents
Attracting attention is serious sport for many Toronto Fashion Week attendees, and the competition can be fierce. So when the rain—and the champagne hangovers—finally cleared on Tuesday afternoon, sartorial scenesters hit David Pecault Square en masse, and they were dressed to kill (or at least to appear on a local fashion blog). Among the most distinctive dressers, one clear trend emerged: from French-fry phones to pop-art prints, '90s nostalgia is still out in full force—especially among those who were barely alive in the '80s.

Street Style Trend Report: the Fashion Week crowd makes a statement with silly clutches
For toting around Fashion Week necessities this season (like lip balm and an iPhone charger), we've noticed many stylish women favouring silly bags over practical purses. Last week, we recommended this eyeball-covered clutch as a daring statement piece, but the crowd at David Pecault Square seems to have some bold ideas of its own: yesterday, we spotted a range of unconventional purse choices, including a furry orange number and a Taxi-themed clutch.

Toronto Fashion Week: the best and worst looks from day two (including bigshots Bustle and Target)
The second day of Toronto Fashion Week was crammed full of opposing looks: there were gothic, drapey suits from Thomas Balint, glittery formal gowns from Narces and playful beach attire from Bustle. Target deviated from the springtime theme by sending models down the runway in puffy down jackets, plaid shirts and knee-high boots from its fall/winter collection—the only Fashion Week looks Torontonians won't have to wait until spring to wear. The best pieces of the day were made from ethereal, barely-there materials, like Melissa Nepton's gauzy blouse and this shift dress from up-and-coming Toronto label Elan and Castor.

Street Style: how do you look cool at a party packed with models and celebrities?
It may have rained on the first night of Toronto Fashion Week, but that didn't stop the fashionable people from converging on David Pecaut Square for Joe Fresh's invite-only celebration. (The lucky few who managed to make it past the velvet rope were treated to a set from DJ—and reigning queen of avant garde—Solange Knowles.) So, how do you dress up for a party packed with models and style icons? Party-goers (and party hopefuls) generally erred on the conservative side, although we did spot a few outfits worthy of a Knowles sister—including Stacey McKenzie's gold lamé gown and George Stroumboulopoulos's style shout-out to East Coast/West Coast hip hop.

Street Style Trend Report: fall coats take a backseat to luxe vests at Toronto Fashion Week
While swapping a fall coat for a sleeveless vest isn't the most effective way to brave chilly temperatures, it's a chic way to layer up without hiding too much of a carefully chosen ensemble. During the first two days of Toronto Fashion Week, subtle leather vests were spotted on runway fans eager to display attention-getting garments, like boldly-printed blouses or ruffled frocks. In other cases, show-goers let luxuriously fur-trimmed vests make a statement over casual jeans and t-shirts. Here, the style setters at David Pecault Square demonstrate seven cool ways to sport a vest.

Toronto Fashion Week: the best and worst looks from day one
Toronto Fashion Week started off strong yesterday: style heavyweights Pink Tartan and Sid Neigum each had individual shows, and the Mercedes-Benz Start-Up competition presented looks from six finalists, including Fashion Week alumnae Beaufille and Laura Siegel. For a springtime fashion event, day one was surprisingly devoid of colour. At the Pink Tartan show, Kim Newport-Mimran left behind last season's pastel midi skirts and crop tops, and showed a collection heavy in black and navy layers. But our favourite looks from Fashion Week's kick-off came from west-coast native Eliza Faulkner, whose chic chambray ensembles were perfectly put-together and a nice departure from all the black and white. Here, the best and worst looks from Day One.

QUOTED: Mackage designer Eran Elfassy on why Toronto Fashion Week isn't up to snuff
"We find sometimes it's not really selective. Anybody who wants to do Fashion Week can do Fashion Week. You need to have a jury."
—Eran Elfassy, one half of the design duo behind luxury outerwear label Mackage, when asked by the Star to name one thing that needs to be done to elevate Canadian fashion.
The Star asked the same question to seven other local designers, including Pink Tartan's Kim Newport-Mimran, who said that the industry is already elevated, and Bustle designer Shawn Hewson, who thinks that fashion designers need more funding from the government. While Elfassy's statement is refreshingly bold, it's not entirely accurate. Sunny Fong of Vawk estimates a typical runway show costs $10,000. (The Project Runway winner even started an Indigogo campaign to fund his Fall 2014 collection.) Clearly, not anyone can do Fashion Week. Just anyone with enough cash.

Longer lengths don't have to look frou-frou (or, even worse, frumpy). What's important is balance. A quilted circle skirt becomes decidedly less prairie-girlish when paired with edgy ankle booties, a fitted moto jacket or metallic pumps. Here are eight ways to pull off the calf-grazing style.

Toronto Fashion Week: Rudsak brings skintight leather and furry Cossack caps to its 20th anniversary show

Arts and Crafts honcho Jeffrey Remedios was spotted front row, along with CBC's Mr. D star Naomi Snieckus and Much Music host Liz Trinnear, who was so taken with the fur caps she opted to don her own (brought from home, not borrowed from the models) midway through the show.

Agent says alleged gunrunner used Granite State post office
Crisafi was paid $3,300 in Bitcoin for that first transaction, but unwittingly sent the gun to an address affiliated with an undercover operation being carried out by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Special Agent Ryan Landers said in a sworn affidavit.
Crisafi, who owns an independent trucking company, arranged to ship the weapons through New Jersey en route to Thailand, according to Landers.
Landers said on May 29, Crisafi suggested to his new buyer that he could broker further deals, saying in part, "the possibilities are endless once we do enough business."
Crisafi continued to pitch other potential gun sales and prices while speaking with the undercover investigator in early June, court documents say.
Crisafi is now trying to broker a plea deal in U.S. District Court in New Jersey — three months after his arrest by Hampton police and federal authorities.
Police seized quantities of marijuana and steroids while searching Crisafi's home on Esker Road, according to court records.

MESA, Colo. Snow conditions in Colorado right now are some of the best in the country, perfect for carving through the powder; but this much snowfall in February isn't exactly the norm.
In the last ten days, Powderhorn has received over six feet of snow, boosting their base to over 70 inches and improving ski conditions.
And after a tough January snow-wise, they're really benefiting from the extra powder.
"It helps us with trail maintenance much better, obviously we're 100% open now and so able to open the resort wall to wall and get more people up here and get rid of all of the brown spots," says Powderhorn general manager, Sam Williams. "It's skiing fantastic right now."
As the Spring skiing season approaches, a large base will help Powderhorn maintain good snow conditions when the weather gets warmer.
If conditions stay as nice as they are now and the snow keeps coming down, Powderhorn staff say they could be able to keep the resort open another week.
