Knave magazine is a long-established British pornographic magazine, published by Galaxy Publications. It is the upmarket sister publication of Fiesta magazine. Along with many other adult magazines, Knave has published the works of popular authors, including Harlan Ellison. Ellison's short story "The Pied Piper of Sex" was first published in the March 1959 issue under the name Paul Merchant, whilst "The Man with the Green Nose", also known as "Survivor No. 1", and co-written with Henry Slesar, first appeared in the September 1959 issue. Other people to have been published at Knave include Kim Newman, Dave Langford, and Neil Gaiman. Gaiman's early short stories, including "We Can Get Them For You Wholesale", were published within the magazine; he also worked at the magazine in many roles, including celebrity interviewer and book reviewer. Gaiman began work at the magazine in 1984 but left in the late 80s because an editorial change resulted in the magazine concentrating more heavily on pornographic content. Eric Fuller, credited by The Guardian as "the man behind the success of Dennis Publishing's lad-mag, Maxim", also worked for the magazine for a time.

Charlie Sheen
Charlie Sheen is back on TV just a little over a year after getting the boot from his longtime sitcom home, Two and a Half Men. And while many (read: anyone not living under a rock) recall the long, strange trip Sheen took from Men to his new FX sitcom Anger Management (premiering Thursday at 9/8c), we decided to retrace the career highs and lows that came long before his tiger blood-infused media rampage, his standup comedy tour, and his recent resurgence:

Michael Douglas
Michael Douglas says he takes blame for "being a bad father" as he tried to forge his career and that the family had a lot to do with son Cameron's drug problems and legal troubles.
Cameron Douglas sentenced to five years in prison
The 65-year-old Oscar winner told Matt Lauer during a Today show interview airing Monday he was a bad dad "if being a bad father is working your butt off trying to create a career at one time."
"I've also confessed the fact that I was in rehab 20 years ago," he added. "[His mother] was a very young mother when she had Cameron and her skills were limited to such an extent. The other part of course is genes. I lost a brother with ...

Copper alloy follis of Heraclius (and Heraclius Constantine) (AD 610-41), struck at Constantinople, but overstruck on an earlier coin. It is difficult to be sure which type this coin is because it is overstruck and possibly also doublestruck, but it is probably MIB 159-60 / DOC 76-83 or MIB 164-5 / DOC 105-16. These two issues date to 613-6 and 629-41. It is just possible that the overstrike is DOC 114 which is for 639-40 because it is possible that the date is XXX.

|Coconut Rhubarb Walnut Bread
|Photo by recipe author
I'm not a sweets person, but this bread is incredibly addictive! Moist but firm, tart, sweet (but not too sweet) and deliciously nutty. With a glass of milk - heaven.
Servings: 2 loaves
Preparation Time: 15 min
- 1 3/4 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 1/2 cups Stewed Rhubarb (see recipe below)
- 2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (or flakes)
Stewed Rhubarb:
- 4 cups finely chopped fresh rhubarb (look for it at your local farmer's market Spring-Summer)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 cup raw sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 9x5" baking pans.
Sift together and set aside first 6 dry ingredients. In a medium-sized bowl, beat together eggs, whole sugar and coconut oil. Stir the rhubarb into the egg mixture. Add flour mixture and stir just until dry ingredients are moistened. Fold in the nuts and coconut. Turn into prepared pan.
Bake at 350 for 50-60 min, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 min, then turn out on a wire rack to cool. Wrap in foil to store (if there's any left!).
Stewed Rhubarb
Simmer rhubarb and water in a saucepan just until rhubarb is tender. Do not cook until completely soft. Stir sugar into cooked rhubarb. Add more water only if needed to prevent sticking or burning.

What's big, bulky, and it comes with its own SIM card, Micro-SD card, and Google Play store? This watch, and it can be yours for $160 buckaroos.
The fledgling streaming service, which sucks in music from other platforms such as Spotify and YouTube, has arrived on Apple devices.
Microsoft is porting its server-side .NET stack to Linux and Mac OS X, and is making more of that stack available as open source.
Following its official launch Wednesday, Apple's new mobile OS has already shot up the ranks, according to mobile analytics firm Mixpanel.
Mozilla takes the wrapping paper off a project that could one day make Web developer's lives much easier by allowing them to build once and test everywhere.
It's massive, it's thick, and it does almost everything your Android phone does.
An independent SIM card and microSD storage helps this Chinese wearable do just about everything your Android phone does, too.
Microsoft Band is an ambitious first crack at a smart health wearable that throws in a ton of features and cross-platform support, but it's just not as easy to use or as functional as it should be.
Ever since Amazon released that crazy drone delivery video, we've been curious how the logistics would work. Now, a group of Belgian students at KU Leuven are testing their own delivery UAV, and the logistics required to transport items to specific locations.
On todays show, we celebrate hitchBOT's successful journey across Canada, ponder drone delivery and how it might work, and hope recharging your devices with noise comes around sooner rather than later.

LYNCHBURG, Va. - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is set to deliver this year's commencement address at Liberty University, the evangelical Christian institution founded by the late televangelist Jerry Falwell Sr.
Romney, a Mormon, has never before visited the Lynchburg, Va., college.
The university announced news of the May 12 commencement address on Thursday.
Romney will deliver the address weeks after becoming the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. He struggled during the primary fight to win over evangelical Christians who are a key part of the Republican base.
The speech will draw a huge crowd.
The university says more than 14,000 graduates and 34,000 guests will be on hand. It also plans to broadcast video of the speech to an estimated 70,000 Liberty online students around the world.

Wow: Nokia's 808 PureView smartphone shoots 41-megapixel photos
You know everybody says the megapixel war is over? Nokia apparently didn't get the memo because its 808 PureView is the first cellphone to cram a 41-megapixel sensor into its chassis. Overkill? Hell freakin' yes and we're totally down with that!
Announced at Mobile World Conference, the Nokia 808 PureView is not a Windows Phone smartphone. It's a Nokia Belle OS (formerly called Symbian) device and its only reason to exist is to make all other camera phones look like garbage.
The 808 PureView has specs that include a 4-inch ClearBlack AMOLED display, 1.3GHz processor, 16GB of internal storage (with microSD expansion up to 32GB) and a battery life of 6.5 talk time hours over 3G. But who are we kidding? The real star is its camera.
The 41-megapixel Carl Zeiss lens might have enough megapixels to print out massive billboards, but Nokia says the purpose of such a camera sensor is not for that, but is mostly for oversampling pixels to make photos look even sharper.
How does the 808 PureView do that? Well, for every one pixel, it combines seven pixels together to create a "pure" pixel. Nokia claims that by doing this, it can "eliminate visual noise found on other mobile phone cameras" and "zoom in up to 3X without losing any of the details in your shot." Basically, using some fancy schmancy compression technology, the 808 PureView can create some really crisp five to eight megapixel photos with no artifacts.
When it's not prettying up all of those small photos with super detail, it can also shoot photos in 4:3 ratio at an effective 38-megapixels. Suck on this, Nikon D800.
Other benefits to the 808 PureView include ultra-low light shooting at apertures of f/2.0, faster shutter speeds and reduced camera shake.
In terms of video, the 808 PureView's no slouch. It shoots 1080p HD video at 30 frames per second and digital zoom that can go as high as 6X in 720p recording.
To see some "unretouched" photos taken with the 808 PureView and a technical PDF on all the inner workings of the technology, head on over to Nokia's blog below. Otherwise, check out the video that Nokia put together on the 808 PureView technology.
When will we see the thick clunker and how much will it cost? It should arrive in May for about $600. Nokia also said at its MWC press announcement that we should "see variations of PureView technology on other Nokia products moving forward." That's basically code for Windows Phone smartphones, for those who don't know how cozy the Finnish company is with Microsoft these days.
After today's impressive HTC One family of camera phones, the future of cellphone cameras look brighter than ever. I'm literally spazzing out right now over the PureView tech, not of the fat 808 phone design.

Please review the following information prior to taking your exams.
Exam numbers for blind grading
In most courses, examinations and papers are anonymous and are identified by an exam number. Students are assigned a set of exam numbers (midterm and final exam) each semester and will use these numbers in place of their names on all law exams/papers unless otherwise instructed. Exam numbers are released the third week of each semester for students to pick up in the administrative suite with a picture ID.
Exam rescheduling policy and request form
Students who need to reschedule mid-semester exams must make arrangements with the director of student services, Adela Fleming. Requests must be accompanied with documentation such as a note from a doctor, police report, car service repair receipt, etc.
Final exams
Students may request to reschedule one or more final exams under the following circumstances:
- Two exams in the same calendar day
- An evening exam (6-9 p.m.) followed by a morning exam (9 a.m. to noon) the next calendar day
- Three exams on three consecutive days in the first week of exams only
- Four exams in five days in the first week of exams only
Students should carefully check the semester final exam schedule to detect scheduling conflicts. Reschedule requests must be submitted to by the designated deadline on the form, which can be downloaded here.
Late arrival to an exam
Students are expected to be in their seats five (5) minutes prior to the start of the exam. Absent exigent circumstances, students who arrive after the exam has started must begin their exams immediately and WILL NOT receive additional time (this also applies to time used to set up Examsoft).
Exam day instructions:
- Writers and typers will not be strictly separated.
- You must have your anonymous exam number. Midterm number are four digits and final exam numbers have five digits.
- Cell phones are not allowed during testing. If you bring your cell phone into the testing room, it must be turned off and either put on the instructor's desk or in a bag along the side wall. It is best not to bring it at all.
- All backpacks, book bags, purses, etc. are to be placed on the side wall of the exam rooms. Only testing materials are allowed in the exam area.
- Students will be seated in every other seat.
- Thirty minutes before the end of a midterm exam and one hour before the end of a final xam, a proctor will be stationed outside of the room.
- A 10-minute warning will be announced by the proctor. After the 10-minute announcement is made, students must remain seated until the end of the examination period.
- An announcement will also be made when the examination period is up. Students must immediately stop writing/typing.
When the exam is finished:
- Writers: Write your exam number on instructor exam and all bluebooks. Mark the number of bluebooks used, 1/3, 2/3, 3/3 etc. Place instructor exam and all bluebooks into the first bluebook.
- Typers: Write your exam number on the instructor exam and if you have used a bluebook, you must turn it in with the exam with your exam number on it.
- Unless otherwise instructed, your exam number must be written on each page of the exam.
- Each student should turn in all exam materials (including the exam itself) to the proctor seated in the hallway and sign the check-out sheet.
- Do not discuss the exam with anyone or post anything on Facebook or Twitter as it can potentially disadvantage you and advantage others who have not taken the exam.
If you experience any difficulties (i.e., illness, car trouble, etc.) during the exam period, it is important that you do not speak with faculty members. You should contact Adela Fleming as soon as possible at 816-235-1654.

Published on 5th January 2012
More than 500 children's books are now on their way to tiny Etemwarore School in the Solomon Islands, thanks to a $6,000 grant organised by VSA volunteer Laurie Williams.
The books include titles by some of New Zealand's best-known children's writers, such as Lynley Dodd, Joy Cowley and Margaret Mahy. They left New Zealand before Christmas and are expected to make their way to the school on the remote island of Makira by the beginning of the new school year.
Laurie applied for the grant through the Norman Kirk Memorial Trust after working with Etemwarore School principal, Edrine Waokahi, during a two-month assignment as a school leader mentor in Makira Ulawa province last year.
Laurie, who is now working as school leader mentor based in Honiara, worked with Edrine and two other head teachers in Makira, helping them develop their role as school leaders. He was impressed by her motivation and enthusiasm, despite the school's lack of resources.
"As a principal Edrine is really up for new ideas about good practice. She and her staff are keen for their students to learn and go places."
He says at the moment the only books Etemwarore School has are the regulation readers issued by the Solomon Islands Ministry of Education.
"It is a school with very, very few other facilities or resources, and no real way of getting them."
The Norman Kirk Memorial Trust was set up in 1976 to commemorate the former Labour prime minister, Norman Kirk. It distributes education scholarships and grants to people and groups in New Zealand and the South Pacific.
Each year $6,000 from the trust is allocated to a VSA-related project. Previous projects include a new playground at Matauala School in Tokelau, and a new student learning centre at St Patrick's College in Vanuatu.
Auckland-based company Read Pacific selected and arranged shipping for the books for Etemwarore School. The company has also donated an additional 65 books, as well as posters and ballpoint pens.
Laurie Williams hopes to make it back to Maikira to help the staff at the school set up a basic library system, and work out the best way of storing the books in the humid tropical conditions.

It was a term of the old Forest law, and meant, as defined by John Manwood, Treatise of the Lawes of the Forest, The owner of freelands in the purlieu to the yearly value of forty shillings was known as a purlieu-man or purley-man. The benefits of disafforestation accrued only to the owner of the lands. There seems no doubt that purlieu or purley represents the Anglo-French pourallé lieu, a legal term meaning properly a perambulation to determine the boundaries of a manor, parish, or similar region. The word survives in placenames. Examples include Dibden Purlieu in Hampshire, on the border of the New Forest and Bedford Purlieus, once part of Rockingham Forest.

It's Football Time in Tennessee!
It's magical really.
A late summer afternoon, still a little hot but what glorious orange sunshine and there's a nice little breeze off the Tennessee River.
Families and friends are gathered in lawn chairs or on car hoods. They listen to the radio, play corn hole or just sit and talk. The hamburgers and hot dogs are cooked and ready. So, they'll eat, wait for more friends to drop by, but mostly get ready for the game to start.
There are more than 100,000 of them – all dressed in orange.
In East Tennessee, there is simply nothing like a Tennessee Football Saturday. The Vols prepare to open their home season Sept. 8 against Georgia State, and these fans can hardly wait.
Fans can tell you how many decades they've had their season tickets, where they've parked their cars and tailgated every home game for the last 30 years, or where they've docked their boat to be a part of the colorful Vol Navy.
True fans here can rattle off names like McEver, Majors and Manning like they're members of the family.
They can point you to Volunteer Village where something is always going on. They can tell you when the Vol Walk starts so that they get to watch this generation of football heroes parade to the stadium. They'll let you know that when the Pride of the Southland marching band forms the "T" on the field it's time to go crazy. And, they can all sing "Rocky Top" like it's the only song they ever learned.
Neyland Stadium holds 102,037 and even in down years it is almost always full or close to it. The stadium is among the largest in the country and has a tradition that dates back nearly 100 years.
Neyland has just received a multimillion dollar facelift. Surprisingly, it wasn't to increase seat capacity; in fact, that was shrunk a little. The idea was to improve the fan experience. So, they styled the place up, putting a nice façade on the front, adding a plaza to stroll around before and after game time, commissioning a statue of legendary coach Gen. Robert Neyland, making the concourses wider, improving the bathrooms and concessions, and, well, the list goes on.
The Vols play seven home games this fall, including a visit from those spiteful Florida Gators on Sept. 15 and defending national champ Alabama on Oct. 20. They even host the new Southeastern Conference member Missouri on Nov. 10.
Getting tickets to those games could be as challenging as finding a parking space at game time, but UT fans can tell if you there's a will there is a way.
Do you have a game-day tradition that you enjoy? Let me hear about it. Enjoy the season and Go Big Orange!

David Heath, of iTWire, also writes about the record-setting skydive in his article "Felix Baumgartner about to dive into the record books".
This article, a supplement to David's story, shows you where to watch the sky dive LIVE! And, the photo of Baumgartner is provided by CBSNews.com (Felix Baumgartner prepares for record-setting 23-mile free fall. October).
UPDATE: As of 12:45 a.m. Central Daylight Time (CDT), (MDT+1 hour) here in the United States, Baumgartner's flight is now cancelled for the day. Another attempt may be made tomorrow. Stay tuned for more later. The weather is questionable tomorrow, according to the mission's spokesperson, and gets even worst in the following few days.
You can watch "Fearless" Felix jump live at the Wired.com website entitled "Watch 'Fearless' Felix's 23-Mile Supersonic Skydive Here Live".
The Wired article states, "Just before dawn, 'Fearless Felix' will don a custom-made spacesuit and ascend high over the New Mexico desert in a capsule suspended beneath an immense helium balloon, then fall to earth from 120,000 feet." That's 22.73 miles (36.66 kilometers).
And, "The Austrian adventurer hopes to break an unofficial record Col. Joe Kittinger set with a leap from 102,800 feet in 1960, and expand our understanding of what happens during a free fall from extreme altitude. Such lessons could be valuable as commercial space flight takes off."
However, the video provided by YouTube and Redbull will also show the livestream of the Baumgartner skydive. It is shown at http://www.youtube.com/redbull.
Or, just see it here:
Its caption states, "A LIVE webcast of the Red Bull Stratos 120,000 foot free fall will air on http://redbullstratos.com and http://youtube.com/redbull."
And, "In October of 2012, Felix Baumgartner will attempt a record-breaking freefall jump from 120,000 feet - 23 miles - above the earth as part of Red Bull Stratos: a mission to the edge of space. The attempt will take place near Roswell, NM, USA, and if successful, Felix Baumgartner could be the first person to break the speed of sound with his own body, protected only by a space suit. As no one has successfully jumped from this height before, it's uncertain what the highest supersonic freefall in history will look or feel like."

Highly International Southeastern Companies Have More Consistent, Higher Profit Margins Than Domestically Focused Peers
Southeastern companies with higher levels of internationalization had more stable and higher profit margins than their more domestically oriented peers over the past six years, according to a new report commissioned by HSBC Bank USA, N.A. (HSBC).
The average profit margin at highly international Southeastern companies enjoyed a general upward trend from the difficult years of the recession to finish at five percent in 2012, according to the HSBC report, 'Spotlight on US Trade: Southeast.' In contrast, companies with low levels of internationalization showed huge swings in profitability -- plunging into the red in 2008 and 2009 before rebounding in 2010 and climbing to two percent in 2012. Additionally, high international Southeast companies over the period 2007 to 2012 had an average profit margin of three and a half percent while low international Southeastern companies were, on average, unprofitable.
"These findings reinforce our belief that companies that take advantage of new customers and lower-cost resources can better weather market fluctuations and increasing domestic competition," said Richard Lavina, Executive Vice President, Southeast Corporate Banking for HSBC Commercial Banking in the US. "In fact, HSBC recently announced a $1 billion, 18-month dedicated loan program for small and medium size US businesses looking to export or expand internationally, to help companies find global growth opportunities and to further accelerate global business growth by US enterprises."
The HSBC report analyzed the level of sales and operations abroad among US publicly listed companies based in the Southeast and across the nation to understand the impact of international sales and operations on profit margins of business by region and by select industries. The Southeast report included companies from the states of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.A Booming Manufacturing Sector Though agriculture is still a key part of the Southeastern economy, the past 20 years have given way to a focus on manufacturing, specifically automobiles and auto parts. The shift has made the Southeast a key player not only in the American automobile industry, but as an exporter to the global industry as well. In fact, manufacturing helped the region recover from the collapse of the housing market and several years of job losses. Transportation equipment, the largest segment of the region's manufacturing, accounted for $30.6 billion in Southeastern exports in 2011.

Southern Arkansas Saddles Up For Its Version of 'Gangnam Style'
by Tre Baker
Posted 11/1/2012 12:05 pm
Updated 2 years ago
Colleges and universities know all too well the power of a smartly produced recruitment video. Check out the list of clips that Arkansas Next, one of our sibling publications, has featured on its website. The opportunity to let young people know that this school will be the one to allow them copious amounts of both study and fun time is hard to resist.
Southern Arkansas University in Magnolia has hopped into the saddle and grabbed the reins on their latest recruiting video, a parody of the summer hit "Gangnam Style" now known as "Mulerider Style".
And just in case you are part of that large demographic of Arkansas Business readers who has no earthly idea what is going on here, here is a link to the original video as performed by South Korean rap star Psy. Kids today...

BSN for RN Completion
Why do I need a BSN degree?
Today's nurses must not only be prepared to provide expert nursing care but also be able to help transform health care practice in hospitals and other settings. In the BSN program, the student has the opportunity to develop the professional knowledge, skills and attitudes to meet both of these challenges. Emphasis is placed on the incorporation of the liberal arts education in to the nursing content. The BSN curriculum focuses on theory based experiences in providing care to individuals, families and populations for acute/chronic conditions, health promotion and disease management. Specialized course work in research and evidence based practice expand the student's critical thinking ability. Developing knowledge in local, regional and global health care along with interdisciplinary experience allow the BSN graduate to take a leadership role in the health care team. Lastly, a BSN degree prepares the student for advanced education and career opportunities.
What are the admission requirements for the RN/BSN Completion Program?
· All prerequisite courses must be passed with a grade of "C"
· Minimum overall GPA of 3.0 or 3.0 based on last 15 credits
What nursing courses will I have to take to complete a BSN degree?
There are two prerequisite nursing courses:
· NUR 310 Professional Nursing Seminar, 2 credits
· NUR 500 Health Assessment Skills for Nurses, 3 credits
There are five senior level nursing courses:
· NUR 265 Intro to Nursing Research & Evidence Based Practice
· NUR 410 Professional Role Transition, 4 credits
· NUR 425 SWS Care of Clients with Chronic Conditions, 5 credits
· NUR 426 Health in Diverse Communities, 5 credits
· NUR 455 Leadership and Nursing Care Management, 3 credits
Will I receive credit for my previous nursing courses?
RNs receive 30 university credits for their previous nursing coursework from a diploma or A.D.N. program. Community college credit is also given (3 credits each) for anatomy, physiology, microbiology, pharmacology, nutrition, and growth & development if not listed on the college transcript. These credits are awarded following successful completion of NUR 410.
Do you have any proficiency exams to verify my knowledge and skills?
Do you give credit for life/work experience?
Do you have a program for RNs who have a bachelors degree in a field other than nursing?
How long will it take to complete my degree?
It depends on how many prerequisites and general education classes are completed and how many classes you wish to take each semester. Most RNs complete their degree in 2-3 years of part-time study. GVSU policy states that you must complete your degree within 8 years after you start your first GVSU class.
Are there any clinical courses?
Yes. Home visits are done in NUR 410 Professional Role Transition and NUR 425 Care of Clients with Chronic Conditions. NUR 426 Health in Diverse Communities requires 48 hours of clinical time which can be done in your home community. Time must be set aside for completion of this requirement each week.
Is the nursing program accredited?
Yes. The Kirkhof College of Nursing is fully accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
How often do classes meet?
The senior level nursing courses are taught in a hybrid format, a combination of on-site and online classes. On-site sessions for each class will be 2-4 times per semester and are held in the Center for Health Sciences Building on the downtown Grand Rapids Pew Campus.
How do I apply to GVSU?
You can complete the GVSU application either on-line or send the paper application to the Admissions Department. Applications are accepted year-round. Contact all schools you have attended since high school and have your official transcripts sent to GVSU. The Admissions Department requires that you apply at least one month prior to the start of classes. This allows time for your transcript to be evaluated and to attend transfer orientation.

The "aggressive" corrosion was found in the propulsion areas of USS Independence. To permanently repair the corrosion the ship will have to be dry-docked and have its' water-jet propulsion system removed, according to a written statement the Navy provided to Congressional appropriations committees and Bloomberg News.
This is simply phenomenal considering that the ship completed its maiden voyage in April 2010, just fourteen months ago. This is, however, inline with the LCS programs' history of problems and comes on the heels of major cost overruns, which we documented just two weeks ago. This will likely add to development costs that have already increased 287 percent from baseline estimates, and may add to annual operating costs, already over $36 million per ship, if such aggressive corrosion cannot be prevented.
The LCS program is a complete waste. And great work to the Navy for selecting both vendors in a competitive bid. Lunacy.
The LCS won't be able to fight its way out of a paper bag and will end up getting a lot of sailors killed.
And yes Mr. Work, the Navy does need a new frigate. One that is not gold-plated, doesn't burn much fuel and is simple as part of its core design. The wasteful and useless LCS is occupying shipbuilding skills that could be put to better use making warships we actually need.
We have admirals with very poor vision of what a Navy should be. That and we need to cut the budget. Cancelling the LCS program should be an easy decision.
Over to you; LCS cheerleaders.

Master Class: Meet Designer Charlotte Moss
Designer Charlotte Moss shares the source for the prettiest monogrammed linens, gives us a glimpse into her personal study, and discusses her new furniture and fabric lines. Plus, watch a in which she shares more of her inspirations.
By Shax Riegler
Her Study
Moss assembled a "Wall of Dames" in her study: "all portraits of women who inspire me, like Babe Paley, Gloria Guinness, Elizabeth Taylor. They look at my back when I'm at my desk, so I think of them as my guardian angels." She had the desk, and the credenza against the wall, made to order. "I like to spread out, so the work surface is six by three feet. I like to be able to quickly see and grab whatever I need, so there are more open shelves than drawers. I don't want to go fishing through filing cabinets — not to mention that they're so ugly." Along with fashion, photography, social history, and complete sets of Edith Wharton and Colette, the bookshelves hold more than 50 of Moss's scrapbooks.

Gene Atkins, an NFL defensive back for nine years, was a big hitter. A neurologist is interviewing him.
"Repeat the months of the year between January and June," the doctor says.
"January … May … April," Atkins replies, slowly.
"Can you do it sequentially?" the doctor says.
Atkins gets the first four months correct, but skips over May and goes to June.
"What's before June?" the neurologist asks.
"July," Atkins says.
Gene Atkins is 48 years old. His interview with the brain doctor is part of Head Games, a new documentary about head injuries and contact sports. It is an exceedingly sad scene. Atkins, who came to the attention of a Boston University team studying concussions and brain trauma when his former wife learned about the suicide of former NFL defensive back Andre Waters, has survived his own suicide attempts. He struggles with memory and other cognitive problems. "I'm just a mess right now," he says.
But while Atkins is the film's starkest example of someone who took a lot of blows to the end and appears to be paying a grave price for it, the documentary, which gets its television premiere on Sunday (The Passionate Eye, CBC, 10 p.m. ET/PT), talks to others, from professional soccer players to former NHLer Keith Primeau to youth athletes, who have, as we used to say casually, had their bell rung a few times. It's that latter group, says filmmaker Steve James (Hoop Dreams), where the consequences of repeated brain injury really need to be discussed.
"The real target audience is youth athletes and their parents," James says in an interview. "For that group it can be a particularly difficult decision. You see in the film that people struggle with it. No one wants to take the chance to play these sports away from their kids."
Head Games relies heavily on the work of Chris Nowinski, a former college football player and pro wrestler who wrote a book about head injuries and football, and Alan Schwarz, a New York Times reporter whose work on concussions and sports kicked off the controversy over head shots and the NFL/NHL responses to them. The story of the past few years is well known: brain autopsies of athletes who killed themselves have shown evidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a debilitating brain disease. Other studies have uncovered greatly increased risks of dementia-type symptoms among retired NFL players. Some NHL tough guys have killed themselves, raising more concerns about concussion history in that sport.
"There's no question we have a problem," James says. But, as doctors interviewed in the film explain, the awareness of the problem today is very high — and the actual medical understanding of it is very low. Among the tiny group of former athletes who have killed themselves and had their brains examined, the link with CTE is obvious — the Boston University researchers say 14 of 15 such brains showed signs of the disease. But this is a study that so far lacks a control group. What if the brains of otherwise healthy people would also show evidence of CTE? What if ex-athletes who go on to live normal, happy lives also have those spots in their brains? As a paper published in the Medical Journal of Australia put it this year, "the detection of pathological change in the brains of former athletes does not necessarily support a causal relationship with their sporting careers."
"People do say that if concussions are so dangerous, then why haven't we seen 1,000 suicides of football players, or 500 suicides," James says. "And I think that what that does show is that we have a lot to learn."
The researchers note that until the brains of non-suicidal football players can be examined for comparison purposes, there is a limit to what can be learned from the brains of the dead. (In one scene in Head Games, Nowinski address a group of retired NFLers in Chicago and asks for their brains.)
No one wants to take the chance to play these sports away from their kids
But whether someone like Keith Primeau will develop CTE or not, he clearly suffered head injuries that, today, would be approached with much more caution. He explains that when he suffered what he called his "first documented concussion," in the 2000 NHL playoffs, he was out cold for five or 10 minutes. He was back on the ice two days later. After his second and third concussions, he said he couldn't adjust to the speed of the game. "I was making a conscious effort to move at that speed," he says. After his fourth concussion, in 2006, he told his trainer that he felt OK, but that he needed a week off. His trainer said he admired his courage but that he would never be cleared to play again.
"My sense was that of relief," says Primeau. He didn't play again.
But Primeau is also an interesting subject as the minivan-driving father of four kids. His son Chayse, also a hockey player, is asked if he knows about the effects of concussions. He says he'd rather not know too much about them, because then he'd have to worry. "I like it better that way," he says.
And that, says, James, is the challenge facing parents. "I wish we knew more about [brain injury]," he says. "But I feel for parents with kids in contact sports now."
"I hope we'll look back at this period and say that there was an overwhelming need for a correction, but thank God it wasn't as bad as we feared," James says. "But I think there does have to be a cultural shift."

CORPUS CHRISTI - Two Corpus Christi police officers and a suspect are now at Spohn Memorial Hospital being treated for gunshot wounds.
Chief Floyd Simpson says the officers were called out to Congressional Drive for a man who seen behaving erratically in the area. One officer was already talking to the man. Chief Simpson says the suspect opened fire as a second officer arrived for backup.
The officers were able to fire back, but the suspect got into a police Tahoe and took off. He then crashed into a utility pole in front of the Corpus Christi Country Club. Other officers pulled him from the police unit.
Medics rushed the man to the hospital in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the chest. One officer was shot in the leg, another was shot in the shoulder and his leg. Both are expected to survive.
Chief Simpson declined to provide the names of the wounded officers and the suspect.
Police have closed off Everhart Road between Shea Parkway and Saratoga Boulevard. The closure will last for a long time as investigators collect all the evidence required.
We have crews on the scene and will bring you more information as soon as possible.

Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE:LVS)
Las Vegas Sands owns the Venetian and the Palazzo casinos on the Strip, along with the Sands Expo convention center in Vegas and Sands Macao.
If the china bubble burst--look out for gaming revenue. The price just doesn't add up on any metric I use. When will this stock pay you a dividend on your money.I went short today at 19.80
you think shorting was a good idea?
Profit expected to increase 286% this year.
Las Vegas Sands is estimated to have 38% growth this upcoming quarter. Also, they are taking over the entertainment and gambling scene. How can you not expect them to outperform.
China just grew gdp at 11%. They had a trade deficit due to import of materials for infrastructure and construction. The deficit will likely encourage China to allow its currency to appreciate. This will translate into higher revenues for the Casinos after currency translation. I agree that the metrics are stretched but the prospects are still compelling although you can forget about dividends for now. If you are shorting LVS on the basis of China blowing up I think you are taking a big risk.
Have you met anyone from asia? Dont think that is possible they love gambling hahaha
Gambling is in our blood. Anyone who wants to long/short LVS should take a trip to Macau or Singapore to check out the properties FIRST and see for themselves. The gambling tables at Macau, FYI, is standing room only almost 24/7. It is THAT packed. Don't take my word for it - just get on a plane and go.
God, I hope you covered that short. In 6 months since you posted, the stock has almost doubled.
God, I hope you covered that short. In 6 months since you posted, the stock has almost doubled.
LOL, bad move shorting this gambling monster...Asian love gambling and China's bubble will not burst anytime soon, I've been following LVS since $16 dollar range and its made me a killing, very happy and confident for the time being in this investment
Hope you covered....
though I must say, I had people tell me that I was crazy to buy a gambling company in March 2009 , at the zenith of pessimism and doom n' gloom
and as for "when will the stock pay a dividend"
gee, dunno...I guess when those crummy, good for nothing companies like Apple, Berkshire and Google start paying one
I picked this on to be a loser, stupid on my part...just one of the many lessons I have learned by using CAPS and not real money.

Colic in three-week-old baby
We have a new three-week-old baby girl. She appears to have colic. What can we do to help her?Question:
Sue Gilbert
Sue Gilbert works as a consulting nutritionist. For many years she worked with Earth's Best Organic Baby Food, integrating nutrition and... Read more
Colic is poorly understood. Its characteristics are well-known: an agonizing crying, drawing up of the legs, abdominal distention and gas. This behavior usually becomes apparent at two to four weeks and persists through the third or fourth month. It usually occurs in the late afternoon or early evening.
It has been suggested that colic is due to an immature gastrointestinal track. Sometimes, warm pressure on the babies abdomen, such as placing the baby over a nice warm shoulder, or laying him over your knee on which is placed a hot water bottle can help. If you are nursing, it may help for someone else to do this since a nursing baby often wants to breastfeed to help find comfort.
If your baby is drinking formula, there is a small chance that she is allergic to it, in which case you may want to experiment with other formulas. If you are feeding a cows milk based formula, you may to talk to your care provider about switching to soy formula or vice versa. However, an allergic reaction would not manifest itself only in the evening, so if your baby is colicky just a few hours of the day in the late afternoon or evening, it is unlikely to be caused by formula allergy.
Sometimes colicky breastfed babies respond if the mom eliminates dairy products from her diet as there may be an antigen from cows milk that can be present in the breastmilk and cause an adverse reaction in the baby. I caution you not to unnecessarily eliminate dairy products from your diet if you are nursing since this may put your calcium status at risk if you are not careful to find supplemental forms of that nutrient.
Also, check your local bookstore for baby care books. Many of them touch on the subject of colic, and although they don't necessarily give answers, they do have some good recommendations on how to deal with it.Answer:

Improving the efficiency of payment processing
Check 21, or The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act, became law on October 28, 2004, and helped increase the speed that checks clear in the U.S. It also lowered check processing clearing costs. Check 21 was proposed by the Federal Reserve in the wake of the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks to keep funds flowing even when conventional air and ground transportation was disrupted.
How Check 21 impacted your business
Check 21 did not require you change your practices regarding writing, accepting or depositing checks. What it did is provide opportunities to streamline some of these processes.
For more information regarding Check 21, please contact an Bank SNB Treasury Management Representative or call Bank SNB's Commercial Client Services Department at 1.888.762.4762.

The quiet and withdrawn Deerhunter secret weapon releases Spooky Action At A Distance, his second album as Lotus Plaza, this week. We've already posted the album track "Strangers," and below, we've got a glimmering, hazy pop song called "Monoliths." It's pretty, and you can stream it after the jump.
Spooky Action At A Distance is out tomorrow on Kranky.
