Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a common metabolic disorder associated with abnormally high blood sugar levels. Diabetes is classified as either type 1 (T1DM), which is characterized by severely diminished insulin production, or type 2 (T2DM), which is characterized by moderately diminished insulin production in conjunction with insulin resistance (insensitivity of the tissues of the body to insulin). Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood glucose levels. Diabetes can seriously impair overall quality of life and may lead to multiple complications including heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. According to the International Diabetes Federation, more than 245 million people have diabetes, with type 2 diabetes being the most prevalent.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (3/21/14) – Being involved with the Chamber of Commerce is a great way to raise awareness among other businesses about the company you own or work for, and can help develop professional relationships with other businesses in the area.
That's the advice of Stephanie Stratton, who was named the March Ambassador of the Month at the Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce breakfast on March 6.
Stratton told SurfKY News she has been involved with the Chamber for the last five years, and has continued to serve as an ambassador through jobs with three different companies. She currently works as the marketing representative for Disaster Team and Building by Wayne Baker, located in Owensboro.
Stratton said the main purpose of being an ambassador, for her, is the opportunity to represent the company "beyond marketing."
"The Chamber presented me with the idea and I've been doing it for the last five years," Stratton said when asked why she became an ambassador for the Chamber. "I loved that each business I worked for supported me in being an ambassador."
She said she has seen a direct benefit from ambassador work, when business people she has met at ribbon cuttings have called her about her company's services.
Currently, Stratton works with Disaster Team, an Owensboro-based company specializing in fire restoration and emergency flood service. It also hosts a "content cleaning company," a component Stratton said is fairly unique to the United States, as there are only 20 in existence nationwide.Chamber Ambassador of the Month is determined on a series of criteria, including attendance at ribbon cuttings, participation at Chamber functions, and time spent meeting with businesses both in the Chamber as well as non-members.

From the May 10 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:
Loading the player reg...
In addition to reviewing print and online media, Media Matters monitors at least 150 hours of television and radio each week. This section features highlights (or low-lights) from our monitoring efforts, other noteworthy clips as well as original videos.
Conservative media outlets amplified a misleading study from the anti-immigrant Center for Immigration Studies, which claimed that "all net employment growth has gone to immigrants" between November 2007 and November 2014. But data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that job growth among the native-born has far outpaced job growth among immigrants during the economic recovery.
This year, media coverage of issues affecting women often failed badly, from trivializing sexual assault to pushing inaccurate reports on pending state abortion restrictions. Below are nine major ways the media failed women in 2014.
Conservative media figures hid statements from President Obama and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio condemning violent protests. Instead, they misleadingly suggested the politicians were to blame for December 20 murder of two New York City police officers by a gunman, who was reportedly retaliating against the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown at the hands of police.

The Sassy Simple Fascination Station has unique textures, shapes and materials for your little one to explore and differentiate. The spinning ball engages the concept of cause and effect and keeps your little ones attention. The Fascination Station is brightly coloured and will keep your little one entertained for hours
Great to keep little ones entertained whilst preparing food, however it is fiddly to clean and my 7month old son pulls the toy out of the suction part quite easily and then throws the toy on the floor, so I may as well give him a normal toy rather than a highchair toy!
My baby boy just loves this product, the colours, the noises and he loves spinning it round. All I need to do put this on his highchair while I make his breakfast/lunch/dinner and it keeps him entertained for ages. I was impressed with the suction bottom as all the other highchair toys I have bought never seem to stick but this one is really good.
Great fun for LO, keeps him entertained whilst waiting for his food!
I bought this because my little boy was starting to fuss in his high chair and feeding time was becoming increasingly difficult. This holds his attention and distracts him from thinking about grumbling! He's 6 months old and knows exactly how to play with it and doesn't seem to get bored of it. It's also small enough to pop in the bag for when we're out and about. Only down side is that the suction isn't great so it does end up on the floor quite a lot, but then doesn't everything else?!!
Keeps my grandson amused

Superior Residences Reviews
I have been working at Superior ResidencesPros
The residents (people that actually live there) appreciate the staff. The employeees are very friendly, despite being understaffed and definitely overworked.Cons
Management lacks organization in multiple areas, that result in lack of communication that causes stress on all employees. There was absolutely zero orientation to the position. All they offered was a guided tour of the facility, and they were no forthcoming about the actual demands of the job - I think because they did not have a clue as to what was actually involved. I could not help but feel that it was misrepresented entirely.Advice to ManagementAdvice
There has simply got to be communication between management and staff in order to accomplish their mission statement. This can not be done if employees are not oriented properly and not given adequate time to learn the position and all the aspects that the job entails.Doesn't Recommend

It's not too late to come up with a thoughtful gift for Mother's Day. And since most of us are mothers here at the Free Press, we know any one of these ideas will be a winner:
• Maid service for a week/month/year. We'll take what we can get just to get a break.
• Photo book from Shutterfly. This is pretty cool, and guaranteed to be a tear jerker. Gather up some picture memories and email them to Shutterfly, where they will create a custom hard-back, glossy book of photos replete with snazzy design.
• Massage. Ahhhh, this one is always a winner. Throw in a mani/pedi and facial and we'll call you our favorite child.
• Garden art. For the gardening mom in the family. This is something we appreciate and covet when we're at Bookcliff Gardens, but won't buy because we think it's frivolous and we'd rather spend it on your soccer camp.
• Car care. Take mom's car out for a vacuuming and detailing, and return it to her with new car scent. Do it yourself and earn bonus points.
• Brunch or picnic. Selecting this old, but reliable standard will make mom happy, just as well. Make reservations if applicable, do the leg work, and make it look like you put some effort in the planning. However, if you opt for brunch, accordingto the National Restaurant Association, Mother's Day is the most popular day to dine out. A picnic is sounding better and better.
And finally, heed these words spoken by one of the greatest sons in American history: "All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." - Abe Lincoln

I remember where I first met designer Courtney Capretto. I was an intern at MHA Media in late 2010 and I was working the door for one of their high-profile, celebrity studded store openings in Beverly Hills. The young Capretto walked in carrying a black Chanel cerf tote, something I had been lusting over for the month. Obviously, I knew her line Capretta in the showroom, but I didn't know she was the designer behind the line.
Only in her early 20s, Courtney is setting new standards for what women in their early 20s can achieve. Creating new silhouettes and definitions for the classic LBD, her work has been seen in editorials, on celebrities and TV. For Capretta's latest collection Courtney ventured from the dark side and added rich creams and beiges to the mix.
Poised, determined and superbly stylish, Courtney talks to The Icon Concierge about where it all started, what inspires her and what's next for her almost eponymous line!
ICON: Tell our readers about your line Capretta.
CC: Capretta is a classic yet distinguished take on contemporary design. The idea behind Capretta is timeless, ageless pieces that can mold to any body type. Most of the silhouettes are form fitting but hug the figure with a slight stretch added to the fabrications.
ICON: You're originally from Pittsburgh, how did you get started as a designer?
CC: I learned how to sew when I was very young. I used to sit for hours in my basement ripping apart old vintage clothing and using the fabrics to sew new dresses. I would sell them on the weekends on the side for my block or if there was an out door art show you would most likely see me.
At 14 I went into a local boutique with my collection at the time, which consisted of ripped denim and vintage silks sewn together. I asked to speak with the buyer and told him he was making a huge mistake if he didn't take my line. At this time I was a very driven child to say the least. He took a look at my designs and offered to take them on consignment. A week later they sold out and I continued to send them new pieces frequently.
I graduated from high school at 16 and decided to go to school in London at Intercontinental School of Design. I spent two years there and felt I soaked up enough knowledge to move to LA and start looking for manufacturers to begin working on my line.
ICON: Your clothes are form fitting, sexy and mainly black, what inspires you when design?
CC: A lot of my inspiration comes from the 1940s. The way women dressed really
complimented there shape. But I truly get inspired by just about anything… from art to music to architecture there isn't an element of life that doesn't inspire design.
ICON: Your clothes appear a lot on the red carpet and on popular TV shows, when you started were you expecting or hoping for that?
CC: As a designer you hope that the collection you create will be well received by as many people as possible and I am fortunate to have so many wonderful celebrity clients.
ICON: You're so young and your brand's already successful, what's next for Capretta?
Where do you hope to expand to?
CC: I believe that because of my driven nature I will never be satisfied with where the brand is, but will always be looking to grow and expand in different aspects. I feel the next step for me is to now grow outside of the US and continue to create a timeless image for Capretta.
ICON: If you weren't a designer, what would you be doing?
CC: This question is particularly hard because I believe in no other option. It would have to be something in the design world, I would feel lost without the freedom of creativity.

Nice Slippers!
By Linda L.
from Wi
I think what people don't realize is that these are slippers for PLANTAR FACIITIS. Not your normal slipper. One review said they had no cushioning. ??? They're not supposed to be too-too cushion-y in that area -- they're supposed to give support! Another review stated he traded them in for the "indoor/outdoor" ones. Again -- ??? I don't see any indoor/outdoor Plantar Faciitis slippers, unless I'm missing something. If you have foot trouble, like my husband does (any myself with 3 foot surgeries), and are required to wear slippers/shoes inside the house -- per doctor's orders -- these are a great choice! Sometimes you have to forgo "looks" so save your feet. Get over it. You just want your feet not to hurt. These are the slippers to use in the house. Hubby loves them.
Great slippers, but hard to keep on
By Dan Dan the Computer Man
from Hunterdon County, NJ
Great slippers if you want arch support. The only problem is they are clogs, which I'm not used to wearing. I do like that I can just slip my foot in without having to use my hands, but they need to stay on. The supportive sole is fairly weighty for a slipper, so keeping them on is a challenge. If they just had s small lip in the back, they would be perfect and five stars. I'm going to try making my own lip with a leather strap.I don't think the woolen upper will fall apart quickly, as others have noted, but time will tell. The sole is rock solid.
just fitted the Bill
By pbut
from Victoria, BC Canada
similar to the first pair I purchased the slipper are just right!
Nice support, flimsy uppers
By EJI
from San Diego
Arch support is excellent; upper coverings are flimsy and will wear out long before the soles wear out.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Great product
By Me
from New York, Ny
I bought this product because my P/T told me not to go barefoot AT ALL for some time while my plantar fascietis was healing. I bought these slippers to this end and found that they actually helped the healing process. After wearing these for a day, my foot started feeling better. The only downside to these is that they fall off rather easily. I'm usually a size 11 -- got the 11s for the slippers. Maybe I should have gone a hair smaller.
Very surprised
By Lakecounty garage cleaner
from CA
I didn't think that I would like a heel-less slipper but after a few days I have adjusted and have learned how to keep them from slipping. The support is great and seems to help my foot pain.
Good slippers
By Tom
from Fairfax, Virginia
Provides support as advertised.
My husband loved them
By Mom2Colin
from Suburban Chicago
My husband appreciated these after working outside and climbing up and down ladders putting up the holiday lights. He's not used to the heel coming just to the end of his foot - the slippers could probably be just a bit bigger.
Well received gift!
By RedMac
from NYC
Parents report that slippers are extremely comfortable.

Originally a silver mining center, Aspen is now famous for another natural resource. Its location in the heart of the Colorado Rockies have turned the town into one of the most exclusive skiing resorts in the world, a place where the rich and powerful can escape the hustle and bustle of their hectic lives. But in 1976, one of the town's most glamorous residents found herself behind a smoking gun.
CITY CONFIDENTIAL tells the complete, convoluted story of the shooting death of champion skier Vladimir Sabich. His girlfriend, the actress Claudine Longet, called the police on March 21, 1976, to report that she had accidentally killed him. The prosecution claimed her act was deliberate; the defense argued that Sabich had been showing Longet the gun when it accidentally discharged. MURDER ON THE SLOPES interviews those close to the case for an inside look at the trial and its shocking conclusion, and details Longet's scandalous behavior afterwards.

As Professor Stevenson and I have previously noted (here, here, and here), the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act's (CFAA) "unauthorized-use" statute makes it a crime for current or former employees to intentionally access a protected computer issued or owned by their employer "without authorization" or in a manner that "exceeds authorized access," resulting in damage and loss.
The nationwide split in authority over the proper scope of the terms "without authorization" and "exceeds authorized access" continues to percolate in the lower courts. Last Friday, Judge Robert H. Bell of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan issued his opinion in Dana Ltd. v. Am. Axle & Mfg. Holdings, in which he outlines the competing views on this issue:
A. Broad View
"One line of authorities takes a broad view of the statute, holding that 'an employee accesses a computer 'without authorization' whenever the employee, without the employer's knowledge, acquires an interest that is adverse to that of his employer or is guilty of a serious breach of loyalty.'" Dana Ltd. v. Am. Axle & Mfg. Holdings, File No. 1:10-CV-450 (W.D. Mich. June 29, 2012) (quoting Guest-Tek Interactive Entm't, Inc. v. Pullen, 665 F. Supp. 2d 42, 45 (Dist. Mass. 2009)). The court pointed out that the Fifth, Seventh, and Eleventh Circuits have each adopted a broad view of the statute:
- United States v. John, 597 F.3d 263 (5th Cir. 2010) (holding that the CFAA encompasses limits placed on the use of information obtained by permitted access to a computer system "at least when the user knows or reasonably should know that he or she is not authorized to access a computer and information obtainable from that access in furtherance of or to perpetrate a crime").
- Int'l Airport Ctrs., L.L.C. v. Citrin, 440 F.3d 418 (7th Cir. 2006) (holding that employee's breach of his duty of loyalty terminated his agency relationship with his employer, and with it his authority to access his employer's computer).
- United States v. Rodriguez, 628 F.3d 1258 (11th Cir. 2010) (holding that Social Security Administration employee violated the CFAA when he accessed personal records for nonbusiness reasons in violation of SSA policy).
B. Narrow View
"The other line of cases takes a narrow view of the statute, holding that the CFAA prohibits improper 'access' of computer information, rather than misuse or misappropriation of such information." Dana Ltd. v. Am. Axle & Mfg. Holdings, File No. 1:10-CV-450 (W.D. Mich. June 29, 2012). As the court in Dana Ltd. reiterated, the Ninth Circuit as well as several district courts have recently adopted a more narrow view:
- LVRC Holdings L.L.C. v. Brekka, 581 F.3d 1127 (9th Cir. 2009) (noting that the plain language of the CFAA does not support the argument that authorization to use a computer ceases when an employee resolves to use the computer contrary to the employer's interest, and further noting that because the CFAA is a criminal statute, any ambiguity must be resolved in favor of lenity); United States v. Nosal, 676 F.3d 854, 863 (9th Cir. 2012).
- Orbit One Commc'ns, Inc. v. Numerex Corp., 692 F. Supp. 2d 373, 385 (S.D.N.Y. 2010) ("The plain language of the CFAA supports a narrow reading. The CFAA expressly prohibits improper 'access' of computer information. It does not prohibit misuse or misappropriation.").
- Shamrock Foods Co. v. Gast, 535 F. Supp. 2d 962, 965 (Dist. Ariz. 2008) (holding that the plain language of the CFAA, its legislative history, and principles of statutory construction support a narrow reading of "authorization").
- Int'l Ass'n of Machinists & Aerospace Workers v. Werner-Matsuda, 390 F. Supp. 2d 479, 499 (Dist. Md. 2005) (holding that the CFAA does not proscribe "authorized access for unauthorized or illegitimate purposes").
- Ajuba Int'l, L.L.C. v. Saharia, Case No. 11-12936 (E.D. Mich. May 14, 2012) (adopting the narrow approach and holding that allegation that employee lost any authorization he had to access employer's computers, or, exceeded his authorization when he accessed the computers in violation of confidentiality and use limitations, failed to state a claim under the CFAA).
- ReMedPar, Inc. v. AllParts Med., L.L.C., 683 F. Supp. 2d 605, 609 (M.D. Tenn. 2010) (construing "without authorization" narrowly, and dismissing CFAA claim based on use of information the employee was authorized to obtain in a fashion that was adverse to the employer's interests).
- Black & Decker, Inc. v. Smith, 568 F. Supp. 2d 929 (W.D. Tenn. 2008) (rejecting Citrin's agency analysis, and dismissing CFAA claim that was based not on the employee's accessing of information, but on his later misuse thereof).
- Am. Family Mut. Ins. Co. v. Rickman, 554 F. Supp. 2d 766, 771 (N.D. Ohio 2008) (noting in dicta that the CFAA "was not meant to cover the disloyal employee who walks off with confidential information. Rather, the statutory purpose is to punish trespassers and hackers.").
Although the Sixth Circuit has yet to squarely address the issue, the court in Dana Ltd. speculated that the Sixth Circuit would join the "growing number of cases" that have adopted the narrow view based on its heavy reliance on the Ninth Circuit's definition of the term "without authorization." The court further explained that the rule of lenity, the plain meaning of the statutory text, and the CFAA's legislative history lend support to the court's narrow interpretation.
We will continue to follow this issue closely as it continues to make its way up to the Supreme Court.

As his date with death approaches, a convicted killer and his attorney race to win a reprieve.
- The landmark series exposing the inner workings of the criminal justice system.
- Hosted by veteran reporter Bill Kurtis.
- Get a behind-the-scenes look at the frantic attempts to stay an execution.
Most men don't know when or how they will die. Darnell Williams does. It's June 2004 and in one month, he will be strapped to a gurney at Indiana State Prison and administered a lethal injection--unless his lawyer can save him. COUNTDOWN TO AN EXECUTION offers an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at defense attorney Juliet Yackel's quest to keep her client from being killed. But to win an eleventh-hour clemency, she'll first have to convince a state parole board to vote in her client's favor, something the board has never done for a death row inmate.
Through detailed analysis of the evidence and intimate interviews with those closest to the case, AMERICAN JUSTICE® chronicles Williams' ordeal from the crime to the increasingly frantic appeals. Even after assembling an unprecedented coalition of supporters, including some of the jurors who originally convicted him, his fate remains unclear.

It is the most American of all cars-a symbol of power, wealth and influence-but its recent history has seen some bumps in the road.
Marilyn Monroe wanted hers to be solid gold. Hollywood's Hard Rock Cafi has one sticking out of its roof. President's and dictators feel naked without theirs. The Cadillac is not just a car, but an icon-a universally desired symbol of power, wealth and influence.
In the early days of the auto, when hundreds of manufacturers clamored for the attention of a few wealthy clients, Henry Leland decided there had to be a better way. His passion for precision, quality and mass production turned Cadillac into the "Standard of the World." By the 1930s, Cadillac was producing a vehicle that many classic car buffs regard as the finest ever made. From the earliest Caddys and the interwar classics to the tailfin years and the problems of the '80s, this is the definitive chronicle of the ultimate American car. See how Cadillac changed the industry, and how the once-proud name was brought to the brink of disaster-and back.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Grand Valley Zoological Quest (GVCQ), a local nonprofit focused on education for all ages, is one step closer to building a zoo in Fruita.
And to help the project along, last week the City of Fruita committed 10 acres of land in a "memorandum of understanding." That means the acreage (which is located near the Dinosaur Journey Museum on Raptor Road in Fruita) is dependent on the group's ability to fundraise $500,000 in support, Fruita Chamber staffer Robbie Urquhart said.
"We want to give them every opportunity to succeed," Fruita Mayor Lori Buck said. "The land is there. The memo of understanding proves they have a strong partner, which will help them have greater strength in grant writing."
It won't be a traditional zoo, Buck added, "with lions, tigers and bears." Rather, it will be an indoor educational zoological center, with interactive exhibits and smaller animals.
GVCQ Executive Director Janet Gardner said the zoo center will feature a variety of creatures, like "tortoises sauntering around," and the indoor exhibits will give off "the relaxing feeling of being in the jungle."
"Any animal considered dangerous would be behind a naturalistic barrier," she noted.
GVCQ - which Gardner said is "a young nonprofit devoted to education, conservation, and research" - has worked with more than 12,000 students since January 2011. Right now, the group provides educational programs in conjunction with Dinosaur Journey, Mesa County School District #51, Colorado State Parks, the Colorado Division of Wildlife, and more.
The local nonprofit has already raised more than $110,000, and naming rights to the zoo and its exhibits are currently available. The project will likely be done in phases as funding allows.
"If everything goes as planned, we could be open by the end of 2014," Gardner added.

"This couldn't possibly break, I'll put it way the **** down there." -every German car engineer.
I just dawned on me that in 2014-ish, a person can walk into one of those midwestern GM megaplexes and be able to choose from the following:
BTS-V(?) Coupe
Now, if GMC would resurrect the Typhoon.
Would I say the same about a traditional pick-up? Not on your life.
tl;dr I have no desire to ever own a "truck", but I'd happily have a Ute.
My Cousin Vinnie.... best damn movie of all time, period......
Cause Chevy didn't make a 327 in '55, the 327 didn't come out till '62. And it wasn't offered in the Bel Air with a four-barrel carb till '64. However, in 1964, the correct ignition timing would be four degrees before top-dead-center."Oh, a counter-offer. That's what we lawyers - I'm a lawyer - we lawyers call that a counter-offer. This is a tough decision here. Get my ass kicked or collect $200. Let me think... I could use a good ass-kickin', I'll be very honest with you... nah, I think I'll just go with the two hundred.
Oh yeah... great looking car, btw. I do, however, prefer the Holden front end.
The ute doesn't appeal to me, and I like weird things and things that can haul without being truck-ish. I dunno why. The styling is off or something.
I'd rather have the wagon. It looks very slick. Much cleaner design than the pug-awkward D-pillar of the CTS wagon.

I think the styling is actually more attractive than many cars styled more recently... and since there are only 22,000 g8s on the road in the US most people don't even know the car much less would they say.. that looks like an old car from 2009. They will face lift it when they bring it here anyway.
The powertrain is the same thing out of the 2009 vettes and 2011 camaros... i suppose you think those cars are long in the tooth as well? I suppose the vette might be due for a refresh in a couple years.. but this is nothing compared to say the NSX's run... or many other cars.
Earlier I didn't mean to create a ****storm about the SS naming.. i never said they didn't put ss badges on the cars back in the day guys.. i mean.. we've all been to old muscle car shows and watched barrett jackson.. no one is that stupid. But I really do think there is a difference between calling a car "the camaro ss" and "the ss" it's stupid for one.. and it just asking for more negative connotation in a brand that doesn't need more negative connotation. I mean.. whatever.. most Americans that will buy the car will be too stupid to even know about WWII much less be able to name the actual people that were opening the gas canisters and operating the furnaces. I love the poster that just simply said definitively that it is not offensive while giving absolutely no justification for his opinion.. but stated it as if his opinion simply meant it was the truth.
I don't think it's all that offensive.. but on a scale... it's more offensive than naming the car Jeff, Nova, banana, chair, monkey butt... on the other hand i realize it's probably less offensive than a lot of words I could type here that would end up looking like ****. they could have picked pretty much anything else though in my opinion. For this consumer the SS badge holds little value from a long time ago that I didn't live in with ties to a dying brand.
I understand there is a heritage with the SS brand.. but.. GM needs to reinvent itself. I don't see this as a move in the right direction. offensive or not. (just the naming) as far as bringing the car over here.. they need to bring as many as they can in manual trim as fast as possible...
especially if it can do better than 15 mpg like the 09 gxps.

The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
What you on about ?
The Version they are talking about here is VF, which does not come out in Australia until 2013
Looks like the U.S will get this car at the same time. New car, new interior which no one knows
how it will look like. Though some car magazines down this way think they have the inside scoop
That's believable. Just a grille swap would bring that design in line with Chevy, and the rear end looks just like the Malibu and Camaro.

So where is this thing? I thought they were going to announce it yesterday, but it's two days after the day of the announcement when they said they'd announce it tomorrow. It's the day after tomorrow already.
In Germany it's going to be called the Opel ß

GM had the right idea but missed badly.
I am not saying the Utes are bad - I am just saying GM will be very cautious before bringing something like this back.

Wall & Deco introduces an incredible new collection of of outdoor wallpaper called OUT-Outdoor Unconventional Texture. The visual solutions for exterior decoration will blow your mind. Graffiti and street art have greatly influenced the design culture in the last few years and now Wall & Deco has taken this concept to the next level and combined it with innovative technology to create something completely unexpected.
There are so many expressive possibilities which make these bold and graphic outdoor wallpapers an architects dream! Adding color and graphic wall murals into urban settings makes for happy places and it actually brings inspiration to communities. Goodbye outdoor tile, hello outdoor wallpaper! Just take a look at some of the amazing exterior applications.
BauHaus: This colorful graphic pattern creates such a bold contrast with the natural environment. Imagine how this could light up at night with the use of modern up lighting.
Kefia: The Houndstooth pattern adds sophistication to this modern architecture. Pair it with colorful outdoor chairs and let the fun begin!
Tokio Stripes: Black and white patterns are a bold, yet classic statement. Modern outdoor furniture in neutral tones helps maintain balance and doesn't compete with this bold pattern.
Pop Pop Pop: No repeat on this pop wall mural. Just look at how the image seems transparent and you can still see the "wall" behind it. Such amazing innovation.
Loren Ipsum: Combing the old with the new. How can that not be ancient text carved into a concete wall?
Camooo: Camouflage your building or create a bold graphic statement. Imagine using this on a government building in your downtown!
Wall & Deco has just proven to us that architecture is about to get more fun!

Over the weekend, I attended Dwell on Design at the L.A. Convention Center. It's an annual event organized by Dwell Magazine and it includes a large showroom with hundreds of artists, vendors, manufacturers, etc. There are also panels discussing topics like sustainable design, innovations in product design and social media, etc. It was pretty awesome and inspiring for anyone who craves modern design. By far, my favorite moment was meeting the architect who designed the home featured on the July/August cover of Dwell (check it out, I got an autograph too).
Next up, I was awe-struck by the installation that greets you as you enter the main showroom (below). The artistic structure is constructed out of silver polypropylene rope looping around a steel frame. If you're interested, you can read about the process and see how this Oyler Wu Installation was created.
Jenny Wu describes the project, "Our interest in line-work is three-dimensional and spatial. This begs the question: How does a single line become spatial? Well, the simple answer is—it doesn't. A line only becomes three-dimensional when it becomes part of an aggregation of multiple lines that are not co-planar."
There were several architecture booths where I discovered my dream home. Huf Haus is a German based engineering and design firm that focuses on creating energy efficient, luxury homes. There was no way I wasn't going to snag one of their brochures and peruse their website after the show. This A-frame home with windows all the way to the top is magnificent!
I absolutely loved the outdoor living displays, which included pre-fab homes, campers, outdoor furniture, etc. In the photo below you can see the clear bubble pods that I want for sitting outside in the middle of a rain storm... now, doesn't that sound incredible?!
In addition to the outdoor living area, there were also several vendors throughout the showroom featuring plant related products. Potted had some truly creative pieces (shown below) that I want to put in my own home. With a shop located in the Los Feliz/Atwater area of Los Angeles, Potted provides an eclectic environment filled with an array of styles, from kitsch to cottage and vintage to modern. I just love this circular piece, which also comes in white!
Urbio was another a booth I spent a little time at. They have these really cool magnetic, modular pieces (shown below) that you can use for just about anything. But no doubt they look best with plants, especially succulents. They're great for using vertical wall space!
If you missed Dwell on Design this year, don't worry we have more recaps throughout the week, so stay tuned...

Over the last three decades, a growing number of public "percent for art" programs have transformed commercial design projects into city cultural stewardship projects. How?
The concept is simple: for major commercial design projects (capital improvement projects and new developments), an increasing number of major cities require funders to earmark a set percentage of the overall budget for the purchase and installation of public art. Effectively, property developers become the arts benefactors and beautifiers of the cities within which they build.
While not all public art pieces are universally a hit, most would argue they certainly intrigue. Pictured above is Cradle, a 2010 installation by Ball-Nogues Studio for the Santa Monica Place shopping mall in Santa Monica, California.
One of the earliest adopters of the percent for art concept, Chicago began asking developers to earmark 1.33% of project costs back in 1978. Weighing in at 100 tons, Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate (nicknamed "The Bean") is a favorite in Millennium Park.
The "Percent for Art" idea traces back domestically to the early 1960s and then chairman of the Philadelphia Redevelopment Authority Michael von Moschziskerhe. As von Moschziskerhe explained to TIME magazine in 1962, "I said to the other four members that maybe we could let it be known that we would look with favor on bidders who offered to spend 1% of construction costs on frescoes, murals, bas-reliefs, mosaics, stained-glass windows, and fountains with statuary in or around them...Psychologists and efficiency experts now find that beauty increases productivity. It necessarily follows that true functionalism in man-made edifices must include artistic expression."
Visitors to Los Angeles will recognize the "pylons" at LAX. This kinetic installation of multi-color lights by Paul Tzanetopoulos is the result of the city's 1% for art program.
The distinctive pylon look can be adapted to the home with torchiere floor lamps.

Public art can be seen as a talking point, an eyesore, or a design centerpiece, as with Eclipse, a 40 foot high, 12-sided dodecahedron by artist Charles O. Perry located in the atrium Hyatt Regency in San Francisco's Embarcadero. I love the string lights hanging from the ceiling in the background. They remind me of the droplets on some of my favorite crystal chandeliers.
In the case of some public art, it can be so formally driven that it verges on looking functional. Can you tell which of the below is sculpture and which is a chandelier?
(Hint: One is the Bowling Ball Curtain sculpture by Eung Ho Park; the other is the Possini Euro Floating Bubble 6-Light Round Ceiling Fixture)
Public art infuses public spaces with color and interesting forms which inevitably become the common social and cultural bonds of a city.

When we study eco-friendly architecture and landscape, it's not often that we come across a landscaped structure. Architect Andrew Maynard designed "Hill House" in Melbourne, Australia to be the exception. This once single structure residence has been turned into, not only a much larger home, but a study on combining architecture and building.
Melbourne is predominantly flat. This could be why Melbourne's architecture is ambitious. There's no landscape to confine structure design, therefore buildings are free to become landscape.
The design goal was for a family of five to have a long-term residence, which could meet the requirements of three small children and their transformation into young adulthood. Above is the evolution of design toward that goal, starting with the just original building (white).
Fundamental issues offered Maynard a starting point and he noticed that the original structure faced North which relegated the backyard, where the family spent much of their time, to shadow throughout the year. This was not ideal.
The proposal was to build a new structure on the rear boundary, which was once the back yard.
The new structure now faces the sun and the pure cantilevered box above acts as the passive solar eave, cutting out summer sun, while letting winter sun flood in.
Upon entry, you can see (below) how the structure effects the interior, creating a lowered dining area. The change in floor level creates a bench seat for the Maynard designed "Zero Waste Table".
Despite structural efforts outside, there are ways for any interior to circulate aire and keep cool in the summer. There are some great modern ceiling fans the accomplish this without detracting from the decor. This fan below is our suggestion for achieving Maynard's design aesthetic.
Turbina Oil-Rubbed Bronze Ceiling Fan
Much of the color in Maynard's design comes from the landscape outside, but he had a little fun with the dining room. Multi-colored modern dining chairs is a great way to add personality to a minimally designed space. We suggest this red Eames-style dining chair.
Zuo Spire Red Dining Chair
Wouldn't it be fun to have a well designed attractive home that is also your playground? Apparently, Maynard is the go-to architect for innovative, fun and smart design. "Environmental issues and responsible, intelligent solutions are trademarks of his work, utilising clever concepts for a dynamic output. Clients come to Maynard when they're seeking a unique and challenging solution..." Alaana Fitzpatrick, DQ magazine.

Love the music - sound system was cranked up way too much for venue and the screaming hormonal girls ruined it. Love the groups, but how can you hear when screaming overwhelms the sound?
[4 of 7 customers found this review helpful]
Was a really great show, all the bands were amazing, because you can never beat a live show.
There are only 3 complaints I have...the security guards outside were very, very strict about going to the bathroom across the street, threatening to pull me to the back of the line if I left to go to my car, so I had to wait till after the show to go because I did not want to lose my place on the railing inside.
The railing in front of the stage was very unsafe...I wasn't being pushed alot against it, but it still was falling over because of missing bolts, and was leaning so much i could put my feet under it.
Lastly, before the third band came on and the roadies were still setting up, the speakers right in front of me were cranked up so high that everytime time someone played a bass note, the vibrations literally blew back my hair !
It was so uncomfortable that myself and everyone around couldn't enjoy the act onstage at all.
Other then that, the show was perfect. I had alot of fun, and it was well worth the wait !

Report: Aston Martin mulling return to straight-six engines?
by Aaron Richardson (RSS feed) on Feb 25th, 2011 at 3:32PM
Aston Martin boss Dr. Ulrich Bez let the cat out of the bag this week, revealing that the automaker is seriously contemplating bringing back the straight-six engine. Up through the most recent DB7, Aston's silky inline-sixes defined the brand. According to Bez, if Aston decides to go back to its old standby, the engine would likely be a 2.5-liter unit sporting direct injection and a turbocharger. Dr. Bez's thoughts have turned to engines since Aston's universal VH platform won't need updating for a few more years. According to Bez, getting a six-pot in the current architecture won't be an...

The Green Leaf Award recognizes financial institutions nationwide that are helping to improve their communities through cooperation and participation in environmental programs and projects through policies, programs and technology. The award covers three primary areas: staff involvement, bank services and technology, and environmental participation. Congratulations to this years winners!
Boston-based Eastern Bank has four U.S. Green Building Council LEED-registered branches more than any other bank in Massachusetts. The bank uses 100 percent green electrical power at more than 90 branches and five corporate centers through the purchase of renewable energy certificates from Constellation Energy. The bank has also provided millions in financing to nonprofits such as Union of Concerned Scientists, GreenBridge Energy Consortium and Ecological Development Fund.
For its customers, the $8 billion asset bank offers green products such as the Equal Exchange CD, which helps promote sustainable farming methods in emerging countries, and in partnership with MassSave, the bank provides discounted HEAT loans to consumers for energy-efficient home improvements. The bank also offers eco-friendly services such as e-statements, mobile banking, remote deposit capture, online banking and bill pay. Eco-friendly promotional items include seed cards, reusable shopping bags and tote bags made of oxo-biodegradable plastic.
For all customer sales collateral, the bank uses Forest Stewardship Council-certified paper. Similarly, office paper, cardboard, bottles, cans and toner cartridges are all recycled. At the 500-employee operations center and cafeteria, general trash is removed nightly and delivered to Resco Trash energy plant to produce electricity.
In addition, Eastern Bank provides employees with a $40 monthly subsidy to encourage the use of public transportation to help reduce gas consumption, pollution and traffic congestion.
The bank has created a Green Team, consisting of representatives from every functional area of the bank, which meets regularly to research and propose sustainability initiatives and has created a green page on the intranet for employee suggestions and feedback.
The green team has organized employee events, such as Green Ride, which showcased environmentally friendly transportation; energy efficient lighting fairs, recycled clothing and book drives; and in partnership with Northeast Material Handling, it held an employee e-cycling day that recycled 5.5 tons of consumer electronics in 2012.
Honorable Mentions
Busey Bank, Champaign, Ill.
Malvern Federal Savings Bank, Paoli, Pa.
Premier Bank, Dubuque, Iowa, has spent hundreds of hours re-engineering its policies, procedures, workflow and choice of suppliers to minimize its environmental impact by maximizing its reduction in use of natural resources. The $253 million asset bank received Petal Project certification in 2012 an honor bestowed on only four local businesses in the banks community.
The Petal Project is a green business certification program that encompasses five key areas: water conservation, waste reduction, staff education, energy conservation and pollution prevention. Through the Petal Project, Premier Bank increased employee education on waste reduction and energy conservation; increased the deployment of energy-efficient lighting; increased its use of low-flow faucets; expanded materials that are recycled; installed motion-activated lighting in a variety of lower-use areas; and decreased paper consumption through copier duplexing and the use of email and electronic documentation in lieu of paper documentation.
Premier also created and launched a bank intranet to reduce paper use and paper flow. It also has an ongoing e-statement program, which has more than 76 percent of its online banking clients accepting e-statements.
To become certified we reviewed processes, and products and looked for increased educational opportunities for our employees, said Todd Link, senior vice president and chief risk officer. I can proudly proclaim that being a sustainable business is not only a good environmental position, but we have been able to save money as a result of our efforts to reduce consumption of our natural resources. I would encourage all businesses contemplating the process to give it a sincere effort. The cost savings alone can often be significant.
Premier even hosted a green ribbon cutting in honor of its dedication to environmental sustainability through the Petal Project. Instead of the traditional ribbon cutting and asking for people to drive across town to the ceremony, the bank hosted a ribbon cutting internally and recorded it for broadcast externally. The rest of the ribbon cutting was virtual in nature.
Premier Banks future plans include introducing personal check capture via smartphone to reduce customer trips to the bank to deposit checks.
Honorable Mentions
Capital Pacific Bank, Portland, Ore.
New Resource Bank, San Francisco

With Black Friday, the holiday shopping season is officially upon us. Sales started as early as 8 p.m. Thursday. Destiny USA opened at midnight. Our Katie Gibas reports.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Most stores opened their doors at midnight for the first time since the mall opened as Carousel Center in 1990. Mall officials say it's part of an effort to make Destiny USA stand out this holiday season and beyond.
"It was busier than I thought. Right now, you look around here, you see people sitting on the floor, you see people at benches with all their bags, and I think the stores have a chance to put their store back together before our next wave, which is going to hit us in the next few hours," said Rob Schoeneck, Destiny USA General Manager.
Aside from Destiny USA opening at midnight, several stores - including Walmart and Sears - opened at 8 p.m., and Target followed at 9 p.m. There were already people in line there at 2:30 p.m. Thursday.
There have been mixed reviews about this early shopping time. Some people love it, but others say they would rather be doing something else but money's tight, so they need the good deals.

OTTAWA – Auditors from Deloitte Canada have been called in to look at the travel expenses of Sen. Patrick Brazeau as part of a Senate probe into the living allowances provided to senators who claim $20,000 annual living allowance for living outside the national capital region.
Brazeau, who was ejected from the Conservative caucus on Thursday morning after police responded to a domestic disturbance complaint at a Gatineau residence, is waiting for a Senate committee to evaluate his travel claims.
Before Christmas, The Ottawa Citizen raised questions about the residency of Conservative Senator Mike Duffy and Liberal Senator Mac Harb; CTV raised questions about Brazeau's residency. All three senators have designated a home outside the national capital as their primary residence.
The Senate's committee on internal economy, which handles senators' pay and expenses, struck a subcommittee to "assess whether all senators' declarations of primary and secondary residence are supported by sufficient documentation."
The committee is headed by Conservative Sen. Elizabeth Marshall, who when she was auditor general of Newfoundland and Labrador, helped uncover a spending scandal that sent provincial politicians to prison. The other members are Conservative Sen. Gerald Comeau and Liberal Sen. Larry Campbell.
The committee asked Harb and Brazeau to provide documentation to confirm that the homes they claim as their primary residences are actually their residence.
Brazeau gave the senators documents on Dec. 11 to substantiate his travel claims and was asked to produce more, which he has done.
Brazeau has claimed $7,659.15 in "regular" travel expenses since 2010, when he registered a Maniwaki home as his residence, to cover his travel back and forth on weekends.
But a source said the documents Brazeau provided to the committee raise some questions, since his cellphone bills appear to show that he was making calls from Gatineau at times when he had claimed to be in Maniwaki.
The outside auditors, and the senators on the subcommittee, have not determined that there is any wrongdoing.
Brazeau, who was in custody at the Gatineau Police Station Thursday over a personal matter reportedly unrelated to his Senate job, told Quebec television station TVA on Tuesday that he did not file expenses for trips he didn't make.
"It's absolutely impossible," he told TVA. "I appeared in front of the Senate committee. I answered their questions. I gave them documents of when I asked to be reimbursed, and it's not like I asked for reimbursement every weekend. The times I went to Maniwaki are the times I asked for reimbursement."
Harb, a former MP for Ottawa Centre, has claimed $31,237 in living allowance, claiming his primary residence is a bungalow in Pembroke, Ont., although he also owns a condo in Ottawa. He could not be reached for comment on Thursday.
Brazeau has claimed $36,701.08 in living allowance since 2011 when he broke up with his wife and registered his primary residence is in Maniwaki, Quebec, where his father lives. Neighbours have told CTV that they never see him there.
Senator David Tkachuk, the head of the Senate Committee on Internal Economy, was not available Thursday for comment. In an interview last week, Tkachuk said he didn't know details of Brazeau's expense claims, since that was being handled by the subcommittee.
"The subcommittee will report when they report," he said.
Campbell and Comeau declined to comment on the work of the committee and Marshall did not return a call.
Like Brazeau and Harb, longtime Ottawa resident Mike Duffy has also had claimed $33,000 in living allowance, claiming his home in Cavendish, P.E.I., is his permanent residence although he is a longtime Ottawa resident.
All senators have been asked to provide proof of their residency by sending in copies of their health cards, drivers licences and tax returns.
The Citizen reported Duffy contacted the office of the Prince Edward Island health minister to ask the province to rush a health card for him, which the province declined to do. Duffy's residency is not the subject of the Deloitte audit, sources say.
