NEW YORK -- Procter & Gamble has signed a licensing agreement with the Florence-based Salvatore Ferragamo to develop and market fragrances under the name of the luxury apparel and accessories manufacturer.
This confirms a report that appeared Monday on page 2.
According to the companies, the first step will be to develop a prestige women's fragrance.
The P&G deal represents the first time that Ferragamo, which was founded in the Twenties, has licensed out its name, according to the Italian company.
Details of the agreement were not revealed.
The future Ferragamo scents will be developed, manufactured and marketed by P&G's fine fragrance subsidiary, Eurocos Cosmetic GmbH of Dreieich, outside Frankfurt, Germany.
Walter Farnsteiner, president of Eurocos, said, "In the near future, we will decide about the first women's fragrance. We want to truly make Ferragamo a global brand."
Ferruccio Ferragamo, chief executive officer of his family's company, said the first Ferragamo scent "should debut in the next year and half to two years, either in the fall of 1995 or spring 1996.
"We chose Eurocos to market our fragrances because it had certain requisites that we wanted," he added. "[Those are] to believe in and sustain the launch of a fragrance with good advertising campaigns."
Eurocos reportedly did over $350 million at retail worldwide last year with its stable of fragrance brands, which includes Hugo Boss and Laura Biagiotti.
Ferragamo reported consolidated worldwide sales of approximately $220 million in 1993.

To catch a 40+ lb. salmon is to become a hero. Konane Laureta is not only a hero for reeling in a 43.6 lb. Chinook, he is also the Grand Prize Winner of the August Heat Derby! We'll be seeing Konane again as he won himself a 3 day/ 2 night fishing trip to Painter's Lodge.
Joy Borisow, along with her husband and father, fished the AM tide on Saturday and reeled in what would turn out to be the largest Chinook of the weekend, weighing 24.9 lbs. Well, Joy tipped me off that her 80 year old father, Gerry, was the one who actually hooked it but, like any good father would, he gave bragging rights to his daughter. Nancy Schlaitzer, Julian Lo, Amanda Wilson, Kivan Lo, Jared McDonald and Rich Steer all caught salmon weighing close to or above 15 lbs. this long weekend. Hats off to all of you!
Brett Gardner was inducted into the Tyee Club on Saturday evening. Guide Ken Mar rowed Brett to a 30.5 lb. Tyee using a plug. Brett's Tyee is the 30th of the season with numbers 17-29 all reeled in in the same week. The Tyee rowing season ends September 15th which means there are just 10 days left to experience the tradition and perhaps be inducted yourself.
The Saturday whale watching tour, led by Mike, found humpbacks at Browns Bay and orcas at Davis Point. In fact, our zodiac tours had good fortune all weekend long. Even this morning's whale watchers raved about the a25 clan of orcas they observed in Chancellor Channel. It was in that same area they also spotted a black bear. Further east in Denham Bay a nursery school of dolphins greeted the group. Scott referred to them as a nursery school because out of around 40 dolphins, 20 or so were just kids.
Gorgeous weather spoiled our guests over the weekend and still more sunshine is in our forecast! Our wedding couples (along with their family and friends) appreciated the clear skies present for their Saturday nuptials. Marriage Commissioner Donna Dennis has performed hundreds of weddings throughout her career but remarked that Kelly and Joe's personalized vows at April Point were some of the most powerful she'd ever heard.
It was back to school for kids today and back to work for parents but at April Point its back to jazz! We hope to see new faces and old this evening for dinner, drinks and delightful music by Jazzberry Jam.
See you in a few,

Haydn's masterspiece, The Creation is known to all lovers of classical music, however few people know that he invested two years of hard work into The Seasons until he was satisfied. Although he was getting on in years when he finished this work, and fell ill shortly afterwards, it is the freshness which distinguishes The Seasons and makes it one of the most popular oratories right up to the present day. The Seasons is not only a historic landmark at the end of the 18th and the start of the 19th century, it also demonstrates clearly the crossover from the objective ideals of the classic era to the more subjective nature of the romantic era. This beautiful piece has now been filmed as a co-production between the Second German Television Company (ZDF) and Hänssler Publishing, Stuttgart. Helmuth Rilling conducts the Gächinger Kantorei and the Bach Collegium Stuttgart. The film is interspersed with beautiful nature pictures which complement the musical interpretation of the changing of the seasons beautifully. Without becoming self-indulgent of following any "new trend" the director makes new and exciting use of camera angles and lighting. The overall impression is of a new and innovative way of interpreting a popular piece of music whilst drawing on the experience of traditional ways of filming classical music.

After more than seven hours of deliberation, the Louisville Metro Council voted 17 to 7 for University of Louisville professor Deonte Hollowell, a registered Independent, to replace the late George Unseld and fill the vacant 6th District seat.
The 31-year-old Pan-African Studies professor is the youngest member of the council and is also an adjunct instructor at Spalding University and Jefferson County Technical College. After the vote was announced, Hollowell, who was in attendance earlier that night, drove to City Hall and was immediately sworn in by Chief Circuit Court Judge Barry Willett.
He will serve until the end of the year.
"After a couple of votes I thought it was over," says Hollowell. "But I never counted myself out."
The appointment comes less than three weeks after Unseld's sudden death. The longtime city lawmaker died earlier this month shortly after collapsing in his office.
The selection of Hollowell is the first Independent member to serve in the council's history since it formed when city and county governments merged in 2003. Hollowell told LEO Weekly he intends to caucus with both Democrats and Republicans.
However, Hollowell will face another hurdle before the end of the year.
For the Nov. 2 general election, the Jefferson County Democratic and Republican parties will each pick a nominee to run in the fall. The winner of that race will serve out the remainder of Unseld's term through 2012. And a source tells LEO that the local Democratic party leadership is bound by its by-laws to pick a nominee. Hollowell, however, said he will run in the fall election.
From WFPL:
Councilman Jim King — who voted several times for (former council candidate Ken) Herndon, then for Hollowell — thinks Hollowell's tenure on the council will be brief.
"He can certainly file for election this fall as an independent, but I believe that the Democratic Party will pick a candidate who will prevail in the fall," he says.
Initially, council members had said the seat should remain Democratic, but after several stalemate votes a compromise was eventually reached.
"We were at an impasse and we had two choices to compromise or let the mayor appoint the position and we felt it was our duty to reach a consensus," says Councilwoman Madonna Flood, D-24, who is majority leader of the Democratic caucus. "I welcome Dr. Hollowell to the council."
And it's definitely a welcomed surprise for Hollowell, who celebrated his 31st birthday July 1, but is eager to get to work.
"I definitely look forward to the challenge, I have a meeting at some point so I'll be here early to serve the 6th District," says Hollowell.

Considering how FF often publish games based on famous IP, and it is well known to well translate videogames into the tabletop versions, (Most recent being Gears of War), it seems only natural to me that a Diablo boardgame is inevitable.
They have already published Blizzard other two major franchises (WoW and Starcraft), and due to the massive popularity of Diablo, seems like a no brainer to me that it would be quite convinient for them.
I do realise there is the new descent coming out, so that might conflict their own interests to publish 2 dungeon crawling RPGs, however I am guessing a Diablo game would play more like a Gears of war, but with lots more loot and map variations, so no DM, miniatures, lots of items cards, character progression, etcetera.
What do you people think about it?
I do apologise if this has been already discussed in the past, but I have tried searching and found nothing.

Senior Algerian al Qaeda operative killed in May 14 strike inside Pakistan
Pakistan, Afghanistan, and the tribal areas. Map from PBS' Frontline. Click to view. |
The May 14 airstrike launched against a Taliban and al Qaeda safe house in the town of Damadola in Pakistan's Bajaur tribal agency has claimed a senior al Qaeda trainer and operations commander, US and European intelligence officials said. Meanwhile, Baitullah Mehsud, the leader of the Taliban in Pakistan, said cross-border attacks into Pakistan would continue despite the peace agreements signed with the government.
Abu Sulayman Jazairi, a senior Algerian operative for al Qaeda's central organization, was killed in the Damadola strike along with 13 others, The Los Angeles Times reported. Jazairi is described as a senior trainer, an explosives expert, and an operational commander tasked with planning attacks on the West.
"He was a significant person within the Al Qaeda ranks," a senior European official told The Los Angeles Times. "Not in the top five, but he's up there. The suspicion is he was one of those individuals involved in training and targeting Western interests. There is uncorroborated intelligence that he was involved in plots against Europe."
The Damadola airstrike was protested by the Pakistani government as a violation of Pakistani's territorial sovereignty. The Taliban carried out several suicide attacks inside Pakistan in revenge for the Damadola strike.
Jazairi is thought to have succeeded Abu Ubaidah al Masri, a senior al Qaeda operative who served as the former operations chief in Kunar, Afghanistan, before becoming al Qaeda operations chief for global strikes. Ubaidah took over for Abd al Hadi al Iraqi, a senior deputy for Osama bin Laden who was personally chosen by bin Laden to monitor al Qaeda operations in Iraq. Hadi was captured by US forces as he attempted to enter Iraq in late 2006. Ubaidah is believed to have died from complications from an illness.
Jazari is the second senior al Qaeda leader killed inside Pakistan this year. Abu Laith al Libi was killed in a US strike inside the North Waziristan tribal agency in Pakistan in late January. Al Libi was the leader of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group and served as a chief spokesman for al Qaeda. Laith also commanded al Qaeda forces in Afghanistan.
The May 14 strike in Damadola was the fourth US-led attack inside Pakistani territory this year. On March 16, US forces struck at the fortified compound owned by Noorullah Wazir, a Pakistani tribal elder who lived in the village of Dhook Pir Bagh some five kilometers from Wana, the headquarters of South Waziristan. Another nearby house, where Uzbek and Arab fighters recently stayed, was also destroyed in a separate round of missile fire.
On March 12, the US military fired guided missiles from Afghanistan into a compound run by Siraj Haqqani, the wanted Taliban leader behind numerous attacks in Afghanistan. The attack is believed to have killed three senior Haqqani network commanders and "many" Chechen fighters.
US troops also killed Abu Suleiman al Otaibi and Abu Dejana al Qahtani during a battle along the Pakistani border in Afghanistan. Otaibi was the minder for the minister of the Islamic State of Iraq's sharia courts. Abu Dejana was the brother of one of the four al Qaeda operatives who escaped from Bagram prison in 2005. Both Otaibi and Dejana were Saudi nationals.
Baitullah Mehsud said the Taliban will continue to strike in Afghanistan
Just one day after Faqir Mohammed, the deputy commander of the Pakistani Taliban and the Taliban leader in Bajaur, said cross border strikes against NATO and Afghan forces would continue despite any peace agreement; Baitullah Mehsud reiterated the point. Baitullah is the leader of the Pakistani Taliban and the commander of forces in South Waziristan, where the government is negotiating its latest peace accord.
"Fighting between the Taliban and Pakistan is harming Islam and Pakistan. This fighting should come to an end immediately," Baitullah said. "Islam does not recognize frontiers and boundaries. Jihad in Afghanistan will continue."
Baitullah has led a violent insurgency against the Pakistani government in South Waziristan and the surrounding tribal agencies and settled districts in the Northwest Frontier Province. He is directly responsible for killing hundreds of Pakistani soldiers and kidnapping hundreds more. He has led a suicide bombing campaign throughout Pakistan and is responsible for the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the former Prime Minister, as she campaigned in the military garrison city of Rawalpindi.
The Pakistani government has signed a peace agreement with Faqir Mohammed and Swat's Mullah Fazlullah over the past month. Neither agreement stipulated that the Taliban must halt attacks in Afghanistan. The government believes their policy of negotiating with the Taliban will end attacks inside Pakistan as well as attacks against neighboring countries and will deny terrorist safe havens inside Pakistan.

READER COMMENTS: "Senior Algerian al Qaeda operative killed in May 14 strike inside Pakistan"
Posted by Matthew at May 24, 2008 11:21 PM ET:
"The Damadola airstrike was protested by the Pakistani government as a violation of Pakistani's territorial sovereignty."
What I want to say after reading this is unprintable except to say that it is an action involved when one puts a fork of food to one's mouth.
But, perhaps Pakistan needs to say that to protect it's "peace accord" while under the table it passes a note to the U.S. saying, "More, please." I just hope something like that is true.
In any case, there exist de facto tribal Islamic countries now that Pakistan has abandoned trying to put under government control and NATO should be free consider them hostile governments and, thus, scale up warfare against these locales.
But, NATO won't and Afghan and NATO troopers will have to die because of the geopolitical... situation.
Posted by Old Sailor at May 25, 2008 9:34 AM ET:
I don't believe anything the Pakistani government says.
The old saying goes, "if their lips are moving, they're lying"; I think that is the case here. Why? I have no idea, but guess that they are between a rock and a hard place, and do not have the courage to go after the Taliban and Al-queda, because in their hearts (as a previous poster has noted) they believe the Taliban are saints and heros.
Posted by abu al-fin at May 25, 2008 1:55 PM ET:
The new Pakistani government has made its choice. Now it will reap the whirlwind of consequence.
Posted by jay at May 25, 2008 7:22 PM ET:
Apparently, the strike at Damadola was more damaging than just losing a top Al Qaeda operative. From Part 1 of a three part article, "Ducking and diving under B-52s" which is an Asian Times article by Syed Saleem Shahzad (atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/JE22Df02.html):
"Last weeks drone attack was the third of its kind, indicating that US intelligence is closely monitoring the area, acutely aware of its importance. The strike had some success, taking out two senior al-Qaeda leaders - Sheikh Osman, known for his amputated hand and Sheikh Soliman. However, a famous Taliban commander, Dost Muhammad, escaped unhurt."
Unsure if Sheikh Soliman and Abu Sulayman Jazairi are one and the same.
Posted by JusCruzn at May 26, 2008 2:33 PM ET:
The best policy when dealing with the Pakistani government, ISI, or Army is to advise them after the strike is over. They are all corrupt whether it is the new government, or anyone else. Anyone who has read Ghost Wars should realize how deep the corruption is, and always has been no matter who is in charge with respect to government or any other agency. There have been several confirmed sightings of Ayman Al Zawahiri in the NWFP, so it's no secret he is there, and Bin Laden isn't probably too far away. GOOD WORK TROOPS KEEP KILLING TERRORISTS!!!!

Any chance is getting a list posted of the books written by Lou's guests on the podcasts?
As I am listening to the shows, I hear names of books, but usually since I am commuting to work I don't have a chance to write it down.
I know several of his frequent guests on the show have written books, and I am interested in reading many of them that I have heard about.
Also, maybe a link to each person's website/blog that is mentioned to?
I know this may be extra work, but I am sure many people would enjoy it!

Good for small kitchens for using line oil for cooking during service. Teo fit inside of a 9 pan easily. the only problem is the tops are made out of a stiff rubber that wears quickly casuing the seal to be compromised. It woudl be nice if the rubber was softer so it would stick in please longer. Alsok, the two componenets of the top seperate easily, comopromising the seal.

James Gandolfini: Actor's Body Flown Home Early
Funeral services for Sopranos actor James Gandolfini will be held on Thursday in New York.
An HBO spokeswoman speaking on behalf of the family said he funeral would take place at 10am local time at the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine.
Fifty-one-year-old Gandolfini died last Wednesday while he was on holiday in Rome.
A Signature Airlines flight carrying his body arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport from Rome on Sunday night, several days earlier than anticipated.
The body was taken from the airport at around 11.20pm, but the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey did not say where.
Family spokesman Michael Kobold thanked Italian and US authorities - including US Secretary of State John Kerry - his predecessor Hilary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton - for helping with the repatriation arrangements.
He said: "We are fully aware that this process normally takes seven days and we are extremely grateful for their (the authorities') efficiency in dealing with this matter."
New Jersey-born Gandolfini died after collapsing in the bathroom of his Rome hotel. He was found by his 13-year-old son Michael, who called for help. Doctors battled for 40 minutes to try to save his life.
A post-mortem revealed the cause of death was a heart attack.
The Zero Dark Thirty actor had been en route to Sicily for an appearance at the Taormina Film Festival, which paid tribute to him on Saturday.
Gandolfini became a household name thanks to his portrayal of mob boss Tony Soprano in the hit TV show.
He had been working on a new HBO series, Criminal Justice, and has two films due out in 2014.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has ordered flags to be flown at half mast today in memory of the actor.

I been going to this bar for over 40 tears, Used to live a block up so was easy access. Gone for several years and came back in 1987 and back to same place. Though I don't drink that often, when I do...usually Nob Hill is the place for few drinks (or so). I enjoy the place, met lots of nice friendly people many of which have passed away, sorry to say. Good memories.
Best Dive Denver 2009 - Nob Hill Inn
The Nob Hill Inn recently celebrated its fiftieth birthday. It's daunting to think of all the people who have spent hours on the stools there, killing time and waiting for the day to the end. But it's the kind of joint where it's easy to lose track of time. The square-shaped bar makes for easy people-watching, and with some of Colfax's finest camping out there, it's usually entertaining as hell. If Bukowski were still alive, this might be his idea of nirvana.

[583] Morphoproteomics Demonstrates Activation of mTORC2 in Aggressive Histologic Variants of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.
Jing Liu, Robert E Brown. University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston Medical School
Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common thyroid cancer and, in general, has an excellent prognosis with appropriate treatment. However, a small subgroup of patients has aggressive or radioactive-iodine-resistant PTCs of which the tumorigenesis is not quite understood and the criteria for the histologic subclassification are still controversial. Morphoproteomics is a method using immunohistochemistry to identify the expression of signal transduction pathways. In this study, we use morphoproteomics to investigate the activation of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway in PTCs.
Design: Archival paraffin-embedded, tissue of PTC was obtained from 31 patients including 15 conventional type, 9 follicular variant, 4 tall cell variant, 1 columnar cell variant, 1 diffuse sclerosing variant, and 1 cribriform variant. Immunohistochemical stains were performed for the following three phosphorylated (p) analytes: p-mTOR (Ser 2448), p-Akt (Ser 473), and p-p70S6K (Thr 389). Chromogenic signals and subcellular compartmentalization (nuclear, cytoplasmic, and plasmalemmal) were evaluated.
Results: Immunoreactivities of p-mTOR, p-Akt, and p-p70S6K were observed in all PTCs. In addition to the expression of p-mTOR in cytoplasmic and/or plasmalemmal locations, the nuclear translocation of p-mTOR with concomitant nuclear expression of p-Akt was identified in all tall cell variant, columnar cell variant, and diffuse sclerosing variant PTCs. A strong nuclear expression of p-p70S6K was present in all PTCs.
Conclusions: The expressions of p-mTOR in cytoplasmic and/or plasmalemmal locations with concomitant nuclear expression of p-p70S6K in all PTCs indicate the activation of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1). The nuclear translocation of p-mTOR evidences the activation of mTOR complex 2 (mTORC2) per literature and is identified only in the known aggressive histologic variants including tall cell, columnar cell, and diffuse sclerosing variants of PTC in this study. These results show the constitutive activation of mTOR signaling pathway in PTCs and provide a new insight of biologic basis for the aggressive histologic variants of PTC. The expression of mTORC2 in these variants may serve as a diagnostic marker and a therapeutic target.

Measuring White Light
Name: Unknown Status: other Age: 20s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 1999
can white light be measured in wavelengths? Or is this the wrong type of question for this site?
White light is a mixture of light of wavelengths between 400 and 800 nm. So it can certainly be reported as the distribution of the number of photons at each wavelength (this will usually be a smooth curve). But no single wavelength will characterize or specify white light.
Richard E. Barrans Jr., Ph.D
Assistant Director
PG Research Foundation, Darien, Illinois
White light contains many different wavelengths, all around .5 micron.
Tim Mooney
"White" light is a mixture of all colors of light. As such it does not have a wavelength. You can separate the white light into its component colors and each color would have a wavelength associated with it. Asking for the wavelength of white light is like asking for the height of a forest. The forest has trees of many different heights. To assign a single number to the height requires selecting a single tree and measuring it. But that doesn't really tell you much about the forest overall.
Dr. Bradburn
white light can be separated by a prism into a whole rainbow of different wavelengths. So its really a mixture of lots single colors. So white light could be said to have a RANGE of wavelengths, say from 0.4 microns to 0.7 microns. And of course in the end, these are just the wavelengths of light that a human eye is sensitive to.

Molina–Infante J et al. – Empirical 10–day concomitant therapy achieves good eradication rates, close to 90%, in settings with multiresistant H. pylori strains. Tailored concomitant therapy is significantly superior to triple therapy for clarithromycin–susceptible H. pylori and at least as effective as sequential therapy for resistant strains.
Methods- 209 consecutive naive H. pylori-positive patients without susceptibility testing were empirically treated with 10-day concomitant therapy (proton pump inhibitors (PPI), amoxicillin 1 g, clarithromycin 500 mg, and metronidazole 500 mg; all drugs b.i.d.).
- Simultaneously, 89 patients with positive H. pylori culture were randomized to receive triple versus concomitant therapy for clarithromycin-susceptible H. pylori, and sequential versus concomitant therapy for clarithromycin-resistant strains.
- Eradication was confirmed with 13C-urea breath test or histology 8 weeks after completion of treatment.
- Per-protocol (PP) and intention-to-treat eradication rates after empirical concomitant therapy without susceptibility testing were 89% (95%CI:84-93%) and 87% (83-92%).
- Antibiotic resistance rates were: clarithromycin, 20%; metronidazole, 34%; and both clarithromycin and metronidazole, 10%.
- Regarding clarithromycin-susceptible H. pylori, concomitant therapy was significantly better than triple therapy by per protocol [92% (82-100%) vs 74% (58–91%), p = 0.05] and by intention to treat [92% (82–100%) vs 70% (57-90%), p = 0.02].
- As for antibiotic-resistant strains, eradication rates for concomitant and sequential therapies were 100% (5/5) vs 75% (3/4), for clarithromycin-resistant/metronidazole-susceptible strains and 75% (3/4) vs 60% (3/5) for dual-resistant strains.

- Paul Sally has been named as the first recipient of the AMS Award for Impact on the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics. Happily, he received word of this award in late December of last year. — January 9, 2014
The mathematical world and the University of Chicago lost one of its beloved and
honored members on December 30, 2013. Paul Sally was a specialist in harmonic analysis on semi-simple groups and a renowned educator.
Paul received his Ph.D. in 1965 from Brandeis and then moved to the University of Chicago as an instructor. He quickly moved up the ranks on the basis of his excellent work on representation theory of p-adic groups, and was the chairman from 1977-1980. Since 1984, Paul was Director of Undergraduate Studies of the Mathematics department, where he has had enormous impact on the undergraduate program at the University of Chicago. Paul also had 19 Ph.D. students whose accomplishments gave him great satisfaction.
Paul's seminal work with Joseph Shalika on SL(2) in the late 1960s ushered in an era of rapid development in harmonic analysis on reductive p-adic groups, an area of mathematics that lies at the intersection of many mathematical fields including number theory, algebra, analysis, and geometry. Within this area, Paul's research focused on questions surrounding the Plancherel formula, specifically the computation of the characters of irreducible representations and the explicit understanding of the Fourier transforms of orbital integrals. As a mentor and agitator in this and allied fields, his influence extended well beyond his own work.
Moreover, Paul's influence on mathematics extended far beyond the research work that he and his collaborators and students produced. He was involved with the Chicago Public Schools starting in 1969, when he ran a math competition and conducted classes for students and teachers. From 1983 to 1987 he was the first director of the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project (UCSMP). In 1992, Paul founded the Seminars for Elementary Specialists and Mathematics Educators (SESAME), a staff development program for elementary school teachers in Chicago public schools. Since the program's inception, more than 600 teachers from 125 schools have participated in SESAME. In 1988, Paul, together with Diane Herrmann, began another enterprise, the University of Chicago Young Scholars Program for mathematically talented 7-12 grade students. The Mathematics department has recruited faculty from among the graduates of this program.
Paul also had a large role in the administration of the AMS (American Mathematical Society), having served in the Council and the Executive committee and as a trustee as well as several other committees over the years. He also was on the advisory committee for the mathematical sciences at the NSF. He served on two influential National Academy committees on mathematics education, and was recognized by numerous awards for his contributions to teaching: among his distinctions, Paul won the Quantrell Award for excellent undergraduate teaching at the University, and the Haimo award of the Mathematical Association of America. He was a fellow of the AMS.
Paul was a great believer in Mathematics and in the possibilities of people to achieve. He was an inspiration to many with his indomitable spirit. He constantly demanded from instructors and students complete devotion to Mathematics, and was remarkably successful in eliciting this: it is impossible to give a blind double amputee excuses for shirking. Paul held his views strongly, and was always willing to express and defend them. (He first came to prominence within the university community for opposing the harsh treatment of Vietnam War protesting students, thereby gaining a reputation as a radical.) He loved a good argument, but in the end, felt that the way to accomplish things was by doing, not by talking. Paul had indeed accomplished much, although he has left many unfinished plans - he was among those who believed that if you are working on project that can be completed in one lifetime, then you are thinking too small. We will miss him.
Paul is survived by his wife Judy, three sons David, Steven and Paul III, and their families.
There is a fascinating video interview with Paul in the Simons foundation's Science Lives Project, which features in-depth interviews with "some giants of twentieth century mathematics and science.". Other recent interviews can be found at here, here and pp 6-7 of here.
Please see here for an obituary of Paul Sally by the University. — January 2, 2014 - We are happy to congratulate Amie Wilkinson for her election as a Fellow of the AMS in the 2013 class of Fellows "for contributions to dynamical systems". — January 2, 2014
- Benson Farb will be giving the joint MAA-AMS address at the annual joint meeting in January. His talk will be on on Braids, Homology and Polynomials: An Emerging Pattern in Algebra and Topology - See more at here. — December 19, 2013

Nick's Friday Round-Up
I'll start this week with something pretty awesome. The Hylian Shield made completely out of LEGOs. [geekologie]
Borderlands 2 is sitting high on the hog with its success, and there's a reason for that. It's a remorseless addiction machine, and here's 5 reasons why. [cracked]
A couple weeks ago I showed you a Mega-Man hoodie and an Assassin's Creed hoodie. Now, to add to your collection, here's an Optimus Prime hoodie. Can you tell it's hoodie season? [geekologie]
I now present to you a life-changing invention. An invention that will make you feel so stupid that you didn't think of it yourself. The Dorito's grinder hack. [buzzfeed]
The next few links will be strictly Star Wars related. You can thank me in the comments. First, I present to you, the battle of Hoth completely recreated in Minecraft using the actual audio from the movie. [blastr]
For those of you motorcycle enthusiasts, I'm looking at you, Lisa, here's one that's Boba Fett themed. [geekologie]
Here's something to feed your nightmares. The head sculpture of Yoda, re-imagined as if he were human...esqe. [gammasquad]
To finish out the Star Wars related links, those crazy people down at DARPA, have created a real-life AT-TE... well... as close to an IRL version as we can get. It may only have 4 legs, but it gets the job done, and MAN, is it super creepy! [blastr]
It's been 20 years since Cartoon Network has hit the airwaves. As a "thank you for watching" from the network, they managed to come up with a fan-service, drug-induced, super-trippy video. Seriously... what in the world? [geekosystem]
Most of the time, when you play video games, you don't think twice about defeating a level boss. Next time, sit back and think about who it is you're defeating, because they just might be the victim, and not the villain. [cracked]
I'M BATMAN! Ok, so I wasn't Batman in this particular instance. Batman was arrested... again... for, basically, being dressed as Batman, and refusing to leave a crime scene. [blastr]
Who doesn't enjoy a good easter egg in a video game? Every once in a while you'll get a celebrity appearance or two. Sometimes, they're cool, but other times it's just down right weird. [dorkly]
I shall finish out this weeks round-up with a super-insane Rube Goldberg machine, parkour style! [gammasquad]

reviews & comments (5)
This recipe is relatively easy with a nice out come. I have also used everything from apriocot to pear preserves or a mix of 1/2 preserves & 1/2 cream cheese in place of the cranberry.
Have made this and variations several times. Try fruit preserves in place of cranberry sauce. Try cranberry-maple or blueberry-maple syrup with it. Try stuffing with softened cream cheese in addition to the cranberry sauce or preserves. A real hit.

EnerGuide – Your Key to Savings
What does the EnerGuide label tell you?
When you shop for a major household appliance, look to the EnerGuide label to save energy and money.
It tells you
- how much electricity the appliance consumes in one year
- how the appliance compares with other similar appliances in terms of electricity consumption
Compare models and their EnerGuide ratings. The lower the kilowatt hour (kWh) rating on the label, the less electricity your new appliance will use and the more you will save in energy and money.
The EnerGuide label in three easy steps
Confused by all the numbers on the label? Read on and follow the arrows. Your appliance salesperson can also answer any questions you may have about the EnerGuide label.
Today's Appliances: Helping You Save
How much would you pay to operate an appliance?
There's a difference in the amount of electricity similar appliances use. Here's a trick: multiply the EnerGuide rating (large number on the label) by your local utility rate. That's how much you can expect to pay for electricity in one year.
For example, a standard clothes washer with a rating of 400 kWh would cost you about $40 a year to operate.* The operating costs of all your major appliances easily add up to a lot of money and energy.
*The utility cost used in this calculation is a national average of $0.10 per kWh and includes federal and provincial or territorial taxes. Electricity prices will vary by province or territory. Consult your local utility for rates.
While the EnerGuide label enables you to compare the energy consumption of various appliances, the ENERGY STAR symbol – displayed alone or as part of the EnerGuide label – helps you identify those that are the most energy efficient in their class.
Look for the ENERGY STAR symbol on qualified refrigerators, dishwashers, clothes washers, freezers, dehumidifiers and room air conditioners.
Products that display the ENERGY STAR symbol have been tested according to prescribed procedures and meet or exceed higher energy efficiency levels.
Choose ENERGY STAR qualified appliances to realize substantial energy savings for your household and significant benefits for the environment.
Natural Resources Canada's Office of Energy Efficiency promotes the international ENERGY STAR symbol in Canada and monitors its use. You can find ENERGY STAR qualified products in the kitchen, the laundry and furnace rooms, the family room and the home office as well as for lighting throughout the house.
Here's what you can save
If you were to replace your 1990 model refrigerator with an ENERGY STAR qualified 2009 model, you would save more than 666 kWh of energy, for a total saving of up to $67 a year. With an average estimated lifetime of 18 years, that means a total savings of $1,206. A 100-kWh saving represents sufficient energy to operate your dishwasher 70 times, which is the equivalent to almost four months of free operation!
Are energy-efficient appliances the best choice?
Absolutely! The more energy efficient an appliance, the less it costs to operate. This will save you money on your hydro bills. And you'll be playing your part in helping to protect the environment by reducing the demand for electricity and reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.
Do all appliances have to be energy efficient?
The law requires all major appliances meet minimum energy efficiency standards, but many appliances use even less energy. The EnerGuide label helps you choose the most energy-efficient model for your needs.
What makes one appliance more efficient than another?
More energy-efficient motors, compressors, pumps and valves and improved gaskets, seals and insulation have all contributed to lowering an appliance's energy consumption. Many appliances also have electronic sensors to help maximize energy efficiency.
ENERGY STAR qualified household appliances use less energy than conventional appliances, offer equal or superior performance, and save you money – sometimes a lot of money.
How can you tell which appliance is more energy efficient?
You can't tell from the look of an appliance or the price. That's why the EnerGuide label is so important. Look for appliances that have an ENERGY STAR symbol on the EnerGuide label.
EnerGuide – it's a way of life
EnerGuide is the official Government of Canada mark that rates the energy consumption of products for the home, at work and on the road. Look for the EnerGuide label on major household appliances (such as refrigerators, dishwashers, electric clothes washers, electric clothes dryers, electric ranges and freezers) and room air conditioners. You can also find EnerGuide ratings printed on the back of manufacturers' brochures for gas fireplaces, gas and oil furnaces, heat pumps and central air conditioners.
Now many houses and all new vehicles carry the EnerGuide label. A good rating (or the lowest estimated annual fuel cost among new vehicles) is your proof of more efficient energy performance. Read the label and make the energy-efficient choice to help save money and protect the environment.

Five Easy and Extraordinary Outfits For Your Next Beach Wedding
Because beach weddings don't have the same exacting dress code guidelines as, say, a black- or white-tie affair, planning a look for one can be hard. For starters, since any one of these seaside events takes place mostly, if not entirely, outside—and often somewhere hot, tropical and paradise-y—it inherently calls for a more casual ensemble. Still, you can't wear something so casual that it looks like you're on vacation rather than celebrating a momentous occasion in a friend or family member's life. Whereas short sundresses don't work, most any long skirt-ed sihouette does; a pair of flat sandals is okay, but it still has to seem fancy. It's a tricky balance to strike.
Of course, if you're invited to any sun- and sand-filled ceremonies this season, there's always the play-it-safe option of a semi-formal maxi dress and embellished flip-flops (ugh, although, YOU GUYS: you know how I feel about flip-flops!); that's how most people navigate the ambiguous dress code. But why bother with that when you've got the five following outfits? Click through the slideshow below to never look boring (but still occasion-appropriate) at a beach wedding again.

Ellagic Acid with Graviola contains Ellagic acid which is a naturally occurring polyphenolic found in 46 different fruits and nuts such as blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and cranberries. Ellagic acid acts as a scavenger to "bind" cancer-causing chemicals, making them inactive. It inhibits the ability of other chemicals to cause mutations in bacteria. Nine years of study have shown that Ellagic acid is causing G-arrest within 48 hours (inhibiting and stopping mitosis-cancer cell division), and apoptosis (normal cell death) within 72 hours, for breast, pancreas, esophageal, skin, colon and prostate cancer cells. Cancer can affect DNA by covalent bonding of the carcinogen to the DNA molecule. Ellagic acid inhibits mutagenesis and carcinogenesis by forming adducts with DNA, thus masking binding sites to be occupied by the mutagen or carcinogen. Ellagic acid binds to DNA as a possible mechanism for its anti-mutagenic and anti-carcinogenic action. This is the most potent combination of Ellagic Acid with Graviola available. It boasts 840mg of Ellagic Acid per daily dose. In addition to the Ellagic Acid this product provides you: ¥ 5000IU Vitamin A ¥ 60mg Vitamin c ¥ 30IU Vitamin E ¥ 200mcg Selenium Also it contains an enzyme blend which includes: ¥ 48,000 HUT Protease ¥ 800,000 PU Bromelain ¥ 7,000 SKB Amylase ¥ 90 Sumner Invertase ¥ 320 FOP Lipase ¥ 420 CU Cellulase ¥ 90 ALU Lactase Ellagic Acid may: ¥ Stop the growth of tumors ¥ Cause G-arrest ¥ Prevent cancer, birth defects, etc. ¥ Work as an anti-bacterial Additional studies suggest that one of the mechanisms by which ellagic acid inhibits mutagenesis and carcinogenesis is by forming adducts with DNA, thus masking binding sites to be occupied by the mutagen or carcinogen. Graviola contains the chemical; Annonaceous acetogenins, which is only found in the Annonaceae family (to which graviola belongs). These chemicals in general have been documented with antitumorous, antiparasitic, insecticidal, and antimicrobial activities. Mode of action studies in three separate laboratories have recently determined that these acetogenins are superb inhibitors of enzyme processes that are only found in the membranes of cancerous tumor cells. This is why they are toxic to cancer cells but have no toxicity to healthy cells. A complete list of cancers in which Ellagic acid has shown effectiveness in either the laboratory or actual human tests: ¥ Breast Cancer ¥ Cervical Cancer ¥ Colon Cancer ¥ Esophageal Cancer ¥ Leukemia Cancer ¥ Liver Cancer ¥ Pancreatic Cancer ¥ Prostate Cancer ¥ Skin Cancer ¥ Tongue Cancer
Click Here to listen to a "Public Health Radio" interview on the benefits of the Ellagic Insurance Formula™. Click Here to read the "Chemopreventative Properties of Phytochemicals", a report detailing the importance of the ingredients in the Ellagic Insurance Formula™. Note: People who change their eating habits greatly increase the effectiveness of the supplements they take. However, at the current time, Ellagic acid supplements are generally not used as a stand-alone treatment for cancer. Rather, Ellagic acid supplements are usually used in conjunction with other treatments. However, Ellagic acid is found in fruits and nuts that are part of major alternative cancer treatments, such as the grape cure, Budwig Flaxseed (when walnuts are used), the Raw Food diet, etc. It would probably be a mistake to take Ellagic acid supplements without also consuming many natural, whole, raw foods that contain Ellagic acid in order to get necessary enzymes and other synergistic nutrients. Ellagic acid for the most part is free of harmful side effects, however an increase in blood pressure for some patients has been noticed. No conflicts with other medications or supplements are known. Instructions for Use For normal dosage, take 2 or 3 capsules 3 times a day. For serious needs, use as many as 18 to 24 capsules daily (3-4 bottles monthly)

Not sure which size you need?
Click the appropriate sizing chart below and follow instructions to print accurately. Women's FitFlop Size Guide Men's FitFlop Size Guide Note: you may need to install Adobe Acrobat Reader first.
Microwobbleboard™ sizing information
Instep sizing information FitFlop footwear only comes in whole sizes. If your feet fall somewhere between, opt up a size if you have wide feet or a high instep, and down if you have narrow feet or a low instep. In the US, most people size down to the nearest whole size. In the rest of the world, people generally size up. Fit To ensure these fit, take 20-30 brisk walking steps in them, then look at your heels to make sure they are not being pushed off the back of the footbed. If they are, the upper straps are too tight across your instep and you need to SIZE UP (if a size up seems too long for your foot, please try another style). Note: It is normal to have some space between your toes and the front of the footwear.

For homeowners, a real estate appraisal is the linchpin to buying or selling their home. It allows the property transactions to occur among the buyer, seller, real estate agent and mortgage lender.
Before an Appraiser arrives, there are a few things you should know. By law, an appraiser must be state licensed to perform appraisals prepared for federally related transactions. Also by law, you are entitled to receive a copy of the completed appraisal report from your lender.
To facilitate the appraisal process, it's beneficial to have these documents ready for the appraiser:
Once your appraiser has arrived, you do not need to accompany him or her along on the entire site inspection, but you should be available to answer questions about your property and be willing to point out any home improvements.

Edward Weston American, 1920 Palladium print 7 1/2 x 9 9/16 in. 85.XM.170.12
Early in Edward Weston's career in the 1910s his style was Pictorialist. Soon, however, he began to move toward a different approach. This soft-focus portrait of Betty Katz (later Brandner) reveals the early influence of Pictorialism but is also Modernist in its self-conscious use of space and form as subjects of the photograph. Weston subordinated Katz's figure to the graphic abstraction of the large rectangles that she appears to hold up. The print's muted tones flatten the image's depth, reducing the room to a two-dimensional space.

I've said it before, but this time I mean it. I'm never buying catfish again. Ever. Not in a million, billion years. Store-bought catfish has to be the fishiest, funkiest, stinkiest fish on this planet - which should be a crime because I know catfish is perfectly capable of being sweet and tender. You see, my father-in-law, Rick, catches catfish from deep within the lakes of Oklahoma. Before the water has a chance to drip down the fish's fins, he fillets, salts, and bags them. … [Read more...]
Recipe: Peanut Butter Croissants (Groundnut Croissants)
Makes 8 mini Peanut Butter Croissants Peanut butter rolled up into a steamy hot croissant - the ultimate snack, perfect with breakfast, lunch or dinner. While you are welcome to use homemade croissant dough, I had to take a short cut - it was one of those weeks. We'll call this fast food for the home cook. I guess you could say that my super-cook is giving way to super-mom. There was a time when I made my very own croissants from scratch. And I'll surely do it again, once Ava gets a … [Read more...]
Recipe: West African Peanut Sauce
Makes 3/4 cup Mild heat with a nutty blast, this West African inspired peanut sauce is straightforward. This recipe lacks the bright flavor acquired from a splash of vinegar you might find in Asian peanut sauces. Vegetarian/vegan Ingredients: 1/2 cup peanut butter (natural, not sweet) 1 Tbsp tomato paste 3/4 cup water pinch of cayenne pepper red palm oil Method: Heat oil over medium. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper. You can always add more at the end, if you can handle … [Read more...]
Recipe: Corn with Plantains
Serves 4 Corn with plantains is a common pairing in West Africa. Add a little heat with your favorite hot pepper, or use regular bell peppers. Our version is vegetarian/vegan. Ingredients: 1 tsp red palm oil 1 lb fresh or frozen corn 2 yellow plantains 1 chili pepper (I used a poblano from my garden that turned red), diced 1/2 cup water Method: Heat up a little oil in a medium pot.

Recipe: Fried Fish
Serves 3 Fried fish is a common food around the world. At its best this dish is crispy with a moist, flaky interior. The secret to great fried fish is to preheat the oil completely before adding the fish. Also, dredging the fish in a little flour ensures a golden, crispy surface. You can use any fish, just watch the thickness - thin pieces will cook up in a flash. Ingredients: 3 fish fillets (we used catfish) 1/4 cup flour 1 tsp pepper 1 tsp salt Method: In a large plate, … [Read more...]

Fun Fact Friday: Cameroon (with poll)
Cameroon's name derives from the Portuguese word for shrimp. Speaking of shrimp... When Ava was a newborn we called her shrimp and the basket she napped in we called her "shrimp basket." She is the sweetest thing I've ever laid eyes on. I could just eat her up. Nom nom. We propped our little shrimp up by 5 gazillion blankets and one boppy (never unattended, mind you). Pretty cozy for a shrimp basket. Yawn. ZZZzzz. She did a lot of that those first weeks. That's … [Read more...]
Technique Thursday: Recipe: Mango Daiquiris
A puckering combination of tart and sweet, the frozen Daiquiri blends ripe fruit, rum, and fresh lime juice with a mountain of shaved ice. This slushy sip of paradise makes it five o'clock everywhere. It's true. I've tested it myself. The original daiquiri from the early 1900's was nothing so complicated - a plain, stout mixture of sugar and lime juice poured over (or shaken with) ice. Over the years, the drink gained popularity and traveled around the world from Cuba to Cameroon. Today … [Read more...]

Thursday Thoughts
40November 8, 2012 by Katie
Hey everyone! It's Thursday!!! Aka I just have to get through today and it's officially the weekend, which I'm looking forward to because of the Girls On the Run 5K!!! I haven't decided if I'm going to just shamefully stand at the sidelines (okay… cheer…) or try to jog/walk it. I know I won't be the only walker, but we'll see…
Anyway, that was enough pity for today because it's going to be a GREAT day! Who's with me!?!? I've got a whopping $20 burning a hole in my pocket from a teacher's research study I participated in yesterday, so it's going to be a good one!
1. You should check out the Target Registry, liked to on Ashley's blog, for blogger Jen and her family. They lost everything in Sandy and family and friends set up the registry to help them re-build. At first I saw it and thought, other people will donate. Other people with jobs and more money than me. But you know what, I CAN donate, so I did. Obviously I got them a corkscrew. I just wish I could have sent them a bottle of wine with it too…
2. I am now obsessed with The Long Island Medium. I want to meet her! Luckily I've only lost my Great Aunt and no one else particularly close to me, but still, how cool?!?!
3. I loved this article Annette linked to on Tuesday. Several made me laugh:
3. How many calories were actually in something you already ate. You've eaten it, you're digesting it, being upset about it isn't going to make it any less retroactively delicious.
16. The fact that you cannot keep a plant in your home without murdering it. Some people were meant to grow beautiful, sprawling gardens of technicolor vegetation, and some people were meant to make flowers wilt just by looking at them. You may just be the latter.
23. That person on OKCupid who never messaged us back.
4. I tried one of these Health Warrior Chia bars this weekend. I wasn't a huge fan… the chia seeds got stuck in my teeth and it definitely didn't taste like chocolate peanut butter… Wasn't awful, but wasn't great.
5. Sign up for Amanda's Holiday Booty Buster Challenge! I've already signed up and if 5 people put in my name as referring them, I could win prizes!!! It's only $25 for the whole program and here's what it basically is:
2012 – Over 1,000 registrations. Over $3,000 in prizes.
– Earn points for being active
– Earn points for eating your fruits and veggies
– Compete against others to push yourself.
– Weekly reminder email to update your points, provide motivation, etc
– List of all participants so you can read each others blogs or follow on twitter
This year there are some fun new twists:
– Private Facebook group
– Tweet chat parties for support and prizes
– Instagram photo sharing #bestfoot
– A chance to ask experts like Deena Kastor (yes the Olympian!)to answer your questions
6. My birthday party this weekend was pretty fun, I haven't been out drinking and dancing in a long time. The place we went to dance has a strobe light on the dance floor, which I LOVE. Whenever it comes on you automatically look like a better dancer. Photo courtesy of Chelsey.
7. I have been listening to Call Me Maybe non-stop for 2 days. WHY??? Maybe I'm in need of something upbeat? I was sitting by a guy on the bus last night and I saw he was listening to country (LOVE) then I realized my phone showed I was listening to Call Me Maybe… No wonder guys don't talk to me.
8. We've had problems over the last year in my building with people stealing packages, so I get them sent to my brother's. Well, my friend wanted to send me something but wrote on the envelope to warn off any thieves:
I about died laughing. Love her.
9. I haven't had frozen yogurt in over a week. I think there's something wrong with me. Or I'm too busy/injured/cold to walk 1.7 miles to my froyo place purely for froyo….
10. Chelsey and I are obsessed with Siri. I have her calling me "Your Royal Highness." I also got her to sing to me this morning.
Happy Thursday!
If you have an iPhone, what's the weirdest thing you've gotten Siri to do?
What's your favorite show/song right now?
**Don't forget to join the Holiday Booty Buster Challenge and use me as your referral AND try and donate to Jen's registry!!!**

Long Island medium is my guilty pleasure! I love her so much! She is so accurate I lost my grandpa when I was young so I want to see if she can dig up anything. Looks like you had a lot of fun at your party :). Have a great Thursday. I don't have class tomorrow either so happy early weekend
you looked so gorgeous on your birthday! also that package note is the funniest thing i've ever seen lol. i always love your thursday thoughts but i'm not going to lie – i hate the first one. i'm super jealous it's almost your weekend!!!!
Oh my goodness I died when I read your #6 because I am the worst dancer ever…like in the history of the world…and the only time I will consider going on the dance floor is when there is a strobe light because no one can see how big of a dufuss I am!
TOTALLY guilty of being on the Call Me Maybe bandwagon. Whenever it comes on when I'm running (which it always does because I will always make it play at SOME point), I get THE biggest goofy runners grin on my face and am always able to push harder.
Actually, who am I trying to kid … I get that goofy grin whenever it plays, which is usually multiple times a day. #noshame. It makes me happy, that's all I care about! -
I am OBSESSED with Long Island Medium. I wish I could meet her too. Same with Call Me Maybe- it's just such a catchy song… how could you not love it?!
Beautiful pic of you and Chelsea! Drinking and dancing sounds like fun
Hahaha the Siri thing is awesome! My Siri is terrible! She never does fun stuff like that!
If you're looking for an ego boost, ask Siri, "Who's the fairest of them all?" Instant happiness. She once told me a long winded story about a couple of iPhones when I asked her to tell me a story…that was also wonderful. She's a little biased if you ask her what the best smartphone or best computer is, though I was a Spanish minor in college, so sometimes I like to switch her to Spanish and attempt to converse with her. I find everything she says 10 times more amusing when it's in Spanish.
The Siri thing is too hilarious! Right after my mom got hers, she was trying to text my sister to tell her they were stopping at the store for something and Siri interrupted that as "stopping at the store for condoms"! My mom actually sent it before she realized what happened!!
Hahahahahaha! I love your Siri bit! I don't have Siri – old I-Phone. That challenge sounds like a very well organized good idea. I'm eager to hear how it works for people in terms of motivation etc.
Every time I go to my gym they play Call Me Maybe in the first 15 mins I'm there. my timing is awesome. Now it totally peps me for a good workout as ridiculously hilarious as I find the song.
Happy Thursday to you!
I once asked Siri if she thought I was pretty. Her response… "Not as Such" I've kinda hated her ever since.
call me maybe will never get old, it is just too darn catchy!
I don't have Siri but I desperately want to, the idea of talking to my phone is so ridiculous!
I love the note from your friend too! Soo funny!
Hehehe! I love you.
My husband changed Siri into thinking my name is "hot wife" HAhaha. So now she addresses me that way. I haven't changed it back though…..
I love siri! No, actually, what I love is watching my mom try to use her. She starts yelling into the microphone and I don't think she has actually gotten it to do what she asks yet. We're talking about 4 months with the phone and she still can't use it. But she doesn't say some pretty ridiculous things!
>>>23. That person on OKCupid who never messaged us back.<<<
True. Though you do remember the ones who do. I found my husband on there!
Where did you go out dancing?
I bought something from their registry a few days ago — such a good cause! I love Long Island Medium! I also talk to Siri just for fun :).
Okay. Long Island Medium. I'm fascinated … and that's not something I would EVER watch! I had a friend over a few weeks ago and she suggested we watch it. A new guilty pleasure!
I did the HBBC last year and it was a fun way to stay motivated throughout the holidays!
I need a new phone, but wasn't sure if I should get the iPhone 4 or the 4s which has Siri, it looks like I might need to get Siri…
Favorite Song right now is probably Poison and Wine by The Civil Wars, it is constantly playing on my iPhone and in my head. -
That package has me laughing! Haha!
I want to make your leg all better! While I jam to Call Me Maybe with you. I admit to being so into that song too.
Hahaha I love the "anti theft" device on the envelope
Have fun with the 5K this weekend!!

Stuffed Animals for St. Anthony Patients Friday, 09 March 2012 Brianna has been selected to take a trip to England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales through the People to People Student Ambassador Program. Brianna held a "Bears for Boo Boo's" fundraiser to cover her costs for the trip. Supporters donated $5 to purchase a bear that was then donated to St. Anthony Regional Hospital. Coon Rapids Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, Thomas Rest Haven and Regency Care Center all helped support Brianna in this project. "I am lucky to be chosen to go with People to People to Europe this summer. The 19 day route will include talking to a Member of Parliament, spending the night in a Dublin household, and repelling off a castle wall. I will also see Big Ben and a real trebuchet in action," said Brianna. "I like that this fundraiser is allowing me to make special kids in the hospital feel happy and go on my trip." The bears donated to St. Anthony will be given to children that are patients in the Emergency Department or Surgery Center. Trish Roberts, Development Director added, "Through this project, Brianna showed the special care she has for children. Brianna will have a wonderful opportunity to travel and meet new people while representing Carroll County." Briana is the child of Joe and Kiane Goebel of Coon Rapids. Anyone wishing to participate in Bears for Boo Boo's can call 712-999-2478. Pictured in the photo from Left to Right are front row: Bowen Hein; Amber, Becca and Brianna Goebel; and Haley Halbur.

text: TALE OF TWO CITIES: When Celine secured Phoebe Philo to be its new creative director, it agreed to let the British designer base the French brand's design studios in London. Now it looks like the brand also is open to new frontiers in terms of realizing her collections. Sources said Celine, owned by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, has been in talks with Milan-based Aeffe SpA about a production agreement. The likelihood of a deal could not be learned, but it is understood that talks have been recent. Marco Gobbetti, chief executive officer at Celine, declined to comment on the firm's production plans. However, it is understood that Celine is exploring using several producers, and Aeffe could be among them. An Aeffe spokeswoman denied that the two firms are in discussions. Aeffe operates the Moschino, Alberta Ferretti and Pollini brands, and produces collections for Jean Paul Gaultier. Gobbetti confirmed that Philo will present her first collection for spring 2010 on the runway in Paris this fall, with the Celine studio turning out collections in the interim. "This is not about a trend or a runway, but building the foundation of the wardrobe of Phoebe for Celine," he said.

Baseball: Public League crown goes to Morgan Park
By Tim O'Brien For Sun-Times Media May 24, 2014 8:46PM
Morgan Park players sprint to the field after defeating Taft. | Patrick Gleason/For Sun-Times Media

Updated: June 26, 2014 6:53AM
It isn't every day you achieve a first for your program.
So Saturday at Curtis Granderson Stadium on UIC's campus, Morgan Park's Lavar Reed and James Davison and the rest of the Mustangs were going to enjoy this one.
Courtesy of a 9-5 win over Taft in the Public League championship game, Morgan Park claimed the program's first-ever city title.
"It really means a lot to us because it shows we came together as a whole," Reed said. "After last year's second-place finish, we felt that need to come together and do what we had to do."
With the Mustangs opening play this week in the Class 3A playoffs, Davison hopes his teammates will be putting up another banner.
For now, they will enjoy the city title.
"It means everything to put a baseball banner up in Morgan Park," Davison said. "We see basketball, football, track, everything, and it just feels good to make history, to be the first to do something."
The make-or-break moment for Morgan Park (19-7-1) came in the fifth after Taft tied things at four with a four-run inning.
Reed and Co. wasted no time responding, putting a four-spot up in their half of the inning. Reed led off with a single and came around on a Christian Bullock two-run single.
Joshua Shaw added an RBI triple and scored on a wild pitch as Morgan Park reclaimed the lead, going up 8-4.
"Quiet minds and positive thoughts," Reed said of the inning. "We knew we were going to get the runs back. We just had to pick each other up."
The Mustangs stole 12 bases in the win, slapping out 10 hits, drawing six walks and scoring on a passed ball and a balk as well as two wild pitches. Davison and Darius Hill stole three bases apiece.
"I'm just trying to get on base and do the little things," Davison said. "I try to use my legs to be great. I bust my butt, stealing bases, whatever I can."
Reed (2 runs) and Elijah McKinnis had an RBI apiece for Morgan Park, which lost in the city title game last year to Simeon.
"Last year we wanted to be in the championship, but this year we wanted to win it," Morgan Park coach Ernest Radcliffe said. "It's trusting in our whole program, and that's how we pulled it off."
Jack Suwinski had two RBI for Taft (26-5). Joseph McFeely, Eli Mercado and Jacob Plucinski added an RBI apiece for the Eagles.
