Loving this color by Nails Inc. It's called Porchester Square!
Yesterday Taylor Swift was at Macy's for a fragrance release. I could literally hear screaming girls from my office! Who cares about the stupid fragrance though. I loved her dress!!!
Similar styles to Taylor's striped frock are sold at the Tracy Reese store in NYC or on TracyReese.com.
I had the pleasure to meet the fabulous creators of LORAC to discuss their upcoming collections. I was so excited to see such a fabulous holiday kit. If you need new makeup the holidays are really the best time to stock up because you can really get the best value. This kit for instance is $56 but is valued at $415! It comes with 2 high shine lipglosses in peach and rose, 1 humongous bronzer, 2 eyeliners pencils in brown and black and then my favorite 16 eyeshadows for daytime wear and 16 eyeshadows for nighttime wear, each which come with a matching blush.
I am loving how all the pieces are removable. Most kits have everything built in and you can't take anything on the go. But in this kit everything comes out for travel–and then you have an adorable keepsake jewelry box or box for whatever.
The eyeshadows are phenomenal. They truly feel like suede. But more on that in a few months. You have no idea what LORAC has in store for you for this coming Spring (due to launch in January) definitely my favorite eyeshadows I've ever tried! But that's all I can say or LORAC will come after me. Just remember, you heard it hear first! Be on the lookout for more fabulous holiday collections and a super Spring line too!
The best thing about LORAC's holiday collections are that you can mix and match–if you need stocking stuffers you can buy a kit and then break it up. Use a lipgloss to tie onto another gift or throw an eyeshadow set into your cousin's gift bag. LORAC wanted to make their holiday collections affordable and that they did!
Fashion Week Hair Transformation Diary from Kerastase USA on Vimeo.
I wanted to share with you a video documentary that Kérastase created, bringing to life extreme hair damage being restored back to health.
Who knows hair damage better than a high profile runway model? During New York Fashion Week Fall 2011 season, Kérastase followed model Hanne Gaby Odiele backstage to document her hair experience. Over the course of seven days and twenty shows, her hair experienced a year's worth of damage—constant blow drying, pulling, twisting, glued in extension and then pulled out! Watch to see how Kérastase experts took her damaged hair and restored it to beautiful healthy hair. Hanne's journey truly exemplifies The Kérastase promise of hair transformation, guaranteed.
Sit back and enjoy the hair transformation journey by checking out the link below. To go behind the scenes and learn more about Hanne's hair journey visit www.hairtransformation.com
A couple weeks ago I had the pleasure of checking out Maggy London's showroom. Truth be told I had never really checked out the brand much despite many emails from their PR girls telling me about their celebrity fans. Well, I was so pleasantly surprised by what I found. An extremely affordable collection with a wide range of styles from fancy and funky to casual and conservative.
Thank you Maggy London for sending me my favorite piece from the collection! Here are a couple other frocks in stores now! (These are available at Nordstrom). I am most impressed with the low price point for the quality of the dresses. Really they look just as well made as your traditional Nanette Lepore dresses. I think that Maggy London dresses are perfect for the fashionista on a budget–to be a little cliche! But seriously this gorgeous dress is only $168!
Maggy London even makes bridesmaid dresses that are affordable as can be! And they're super adorable!!

NEWPORT, Ore. — If you're headed to the Oregon Coast, you might notice more bald eagles. But that actually isn't the best news for a different species of bird that lives on the coast.
OSU researchers say many eagles are showing up near Yaquina Head near Newport, where murres have a major nesting colony.
Researchers say eagles landing on the colony are scaring the adult murres off, leaving behind their eggs and chicks. And that opens the door for other birds, like brown pelicans and gulls to swoop in and grab hundreds of eggs.
"The question is, what are the other food sources for the eagles? And it's not only the eagles that are affecting the murre population. For example, at Yaquina Head, we've seen the lowest reproductive success at that colony, mostly because of predators, than we have seen in over 10 years," said Robert Suryan, OSU Associate Professor.
Researchers say the eagles aren't having a negative impact on the murre population, but if they disrupt the reproductive cycles of the seabird, that might change in the year to come.

I did see drivers for png, jpeg and a couple of bitmap formats in ghostscript. So the picture is that all processing can basically do is make a form of bitmap from a pdf or ps.

Born in Chi-town, raised in Bumblefuck, PA, Champs found his place in South Philly as he was taken under the wings of his neighborhood friends and mentors. He'll be the first to admit that he's a little off, a little crazy, probably not like anyone you've met, let alone heard spit bars. Dreams of changing the world mix with large quantities of Cannabis and the occasional adventure on magical fungi to form the framework of Champs' freshman mixtape, Sh!tS@ndwich.

Dubai: Former Dubai Duty Free Women's Open champion and one-time world number one Caroline Wozniacki cruised into the second round of the tournament after an impressive display on Tuesday night at the Dubai Tennis Stadium.
In Focus | Dubai Tennis Championships
Wozniacki leads march of seeds into next round
Errani, Kvitova also win in contrasting styles on second day of Dubai event
Wozniacki, who won here as the top seed in 2011, prevailed 6-2, 6-2 over Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic in exactly one hour. Earlier, fifth seed Sara Errani, of Italy, and sixth seed Petra Kvitova, of the Czech Republic, had both booked their places in the second round in contrasting fashion.
Errani was made to work hard before winning 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 against Germany's Julia Goerges, while Kvitova powered her way to an easy 6-2, 6-1 win over Slovakian qualifier Daniela Hantuchova.
Slipping to No.10 in the WTA Rankings this week, Wozniacki was in control throughout during the 60 minutes spent on court against an erratic opponent. Though not perfect in the construction of her points, the former world number one from Denmark did well to mix up her game.
A couple of breaks early on were enough for her to take the opening set 6-2 in exactly half an hour. Wozniacki maintained her dominance in the second set and she secured the win when Safarova hit a forehand long to hand the Dane a second career win against the Czech after four meetings.
Wozniacki now takes on qualifier Jie Zheng after the Chinese player defeated Urszula Radwanska, younger sister of defending champion Agnieszka, in three sets. "I didn't feel well on the court at all today. I was just making way too many mistakes, and I could not get into the rhythm," the player the Dane beat, Safarova, said later.
Meanwhile, Roberta Vinci became the second Italian to make it through to the next stage when she overcame qualifier and two-time Grand Slam winner Svetlana Kuznetsova 6-3, 6-2. Vinci will now meet fourth seed Angelique Kerber in the second round on Wednesday.
Kuznetsova, a one-time losing finalist in Dubai, had to go through the qualifying rounds on Saturday and Sunday. "It can get tough to go through qualifying for someone like me. I played three matches in Doha and then had a completely different schedule in qualifying here as I had to play in the mornings. That's kind of tough, but there is hardly anything I can do about it. I think I am happy with where I am at this moment," Kuznetsova said.
The second-round matches on Saturday will start at 2pm on centre court with Yulia Putintseva taking on defending champion Agnieszka Radwanska.

James P. Stuckey | Green and Sustainable Is the Way to Go
Founder James P. Stuckey says that responsible building practices are standard at Verdant Properties.
Verdant Properties, LLC® is James P. Stuckey's New York-based property development firm. It was founded upon James P. Stuckey's own personal mission that cooperating with the environment is the best way to develop the land. The group focuses on real estate projects ranging from office to mixed-use development and everything in between.
According to James P. Stuckey, Verdant Properties focuses on only the finest sustainable and renewable materials. Verdant Properties has assisted numerous projects including the Macedonia Plaza and the South Bridgeport Development. As well, James P. Stuckey says that the firm is has served as a consultant to Trinity Real Estate, the property development division of lower Manhattan's Trinity Church.
The Macedonia Plaza, says James P. Stuckey, is proposed as a large, modern housing development in Flushing that will focus on affordable living and encourage community relationships. The project boasts nearly 140 residential units spread over 30,000 square feet and replaces a former municipal parking lot, reports James P. Stuckey. As well, James P. Stuckey points out that 7000+ square feet of retail space located on the ground floor of the development will help create jobs and stabilize the economy of the area. The South Bridgeport development is a proposed 120 unit residential building being developed in conjunction with New Vision International Ministries.
Sustainable building practices are important to James P. Stuckey and the team at Verdant. Many people, however, are unsure about exactly what the term "verdant" means. James P. Stuckey explains that the concept promotes sustainable design and development that meets the current needs of the population while preserving the societal, ecological, and economic needs of future generations.
Sustainable buildings, according to James P. Stuckey, are constructed using materials that have a neutral impact on the land. Examples of materials used in sustainable building practices are bamboo, linoleum, recycled concrete, and stone.
James P. Stuckey also notes that, because green building focuses on energy conservation, most sustainably built homes and structures are strategically insulated to use the least amount of electric climate control. The founder of Verdant Properties affirms that green and sustainable is the best way to build. James P. Stuckey believes that preservation of this planet falls to its current occupants With the population of the United States expected to increase by more than 30 million people in the next 20 years, says James P. Stuckey, designing an infrastructure that is environmentally friendly, avoids waste, and utilizes upgradable technology is essential for our children and the generations beyond.
James P. Stuckey is dedicated to quality, sustainability, and affordability in each and every project initiated by Verdant Properties. He is committed to decreasing his firm's impact on the environment and developing an infrastructure that creates energy, such as ethanol, from waste and industrial byproducts. To this end, James P. Stuckey has established relationships with engineers and architects who specialize in building designs that flow with nature.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- James Franklin rebounded from three early interceptions to toss two second-half touchdown passes, and Missouri rallied for a 24-10 victory over Kansas on Saturday in what could be the final edition of the 120-year-old Border War rivalry.
The Tigers (7-5, 5-4 Big 12) head to the SEC next season, and Kansas has said it has no intention of playing Missouri out of conference.
Missouri improved its bowl prospects by winning its third straight game to finish the regular season, doing so with coach Gary Pinkel back on the sideline. He was suspended for last week's come-from-behind win over Texas Tech following a drunken-driving arrest.
On the other sideline was Turner Gill, who may have coached his final game for Kansas (2-10, 0-9).
Gill is just 5-19 in two seasons in charge, and 10 straight losses to finish this season -- many in lopsided fashion -- may have sealed his fate.

BACKGROUND: Evidence is accumulating that suggests borderline personality disorder (BPD) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are related to small hippocampal size. Psychotic symptoms are frequent in both disorders. Psychotic spectrum disorders are known to be related to abnormalities of temporoparietal cortices. METHODS: Using structural magnetic resonance imaging (3D-MRI), parietal cortex and hippocampal volumes were assessed in 30 young women with BPD who had been exposed to severe childhood sexual and physical abuse and in 25 healthy control subjects. RESULTS: Compared with control subjects, BPD subjects had significantly smaller right parietal cortex (-11%) and hippocampal (-17%) volumes. The parietal cortex of borderline subjects showed a significantly stronger leftward asymmetry when compared with control subjects. Stronger psychotic symptoms and schizoid personality traits in borderline subjects were significantly related to reduced leftward asymmetry. Stronger trauma-related clinical symptoms and neuropsychologic deficits were significantly related to smaller hippocampal size. CONCLUSIONS: Our results are consistent with previous findings of small hippocampal size in BPD and PTSD. Reduced right parietal cortex size in individuals with BPD may reflect a neurodevelopmental deficit of the right hemisphere.

Cadet Ethan Rodgers awarded Pilot Slot by USAF
Ethan Rodgers, Belhaven College junior, has been awarded a coveted Air Force Pilot slot through Air Force ROTC Detachment 6 at Jackson State University. He is the first-ever cadet from the JSU AFROTC program to achieve this great honor.
Ethan was boarded by an Air Force Officer panel of senior officers within the AFROTC program, and more notably, he was chosen in the first round of selections. In order to attain this competitive honor (only 61.5% of applicants were chosen this year), Ethan underwent an intensive 4-weeks of Field Training at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama during the summer. This rigorous program involved physical conditioning, weapons training and survival training. He also had to pass a written AF Officer Qualifying test and the AF hand eye coordination test.
A Communication major with an emphasis in Electronic Communication, Ethan was a member of the Belhaven Baseball team from 2006-2008, and he has also been named to the Deans List for the past five semesters. He has also been awarded a 4-year AF ROTC scholarship. Following his May 2010 graduation from Belhaven, he will immediately become a commissioned officer in the USAF and proceed to flight training.
Belhaven College has a cross-town agreement with JSU, which enables Belhaven students to participate in the AFROTC program offered there. Other Belhaven students involved in this unique opportunity include Cadets Daniel Bond, Stephan Fernandez, Thomas Kazey, and Constance Greer.

Today on Offworld, Ragdoll Metaphysics columnist Jim Rossignol takes a deeper look at the recently much-hyped promises of "cloud gaming" services like OnLive and Gaikai — who suggest that the days of buying powerful home processing hardware are numbered if our games were processed on the cloud and delivered via video streaming — and a look at what questions and concerns remain when the fantastic claims seem more reasonable in a few years time.
We also took a technical look into the five year development of Maxis' Spore via an exhaustive set of "liner notes" written by technology lead Chris Hecker (seen left, his very first created Spore creature) as well as art director Ocean Quigley's own blog, and played Don't Save The Princess, today's best indie PC game.
Elsewhere we saw Bill O'Reilly discover the new world of Nintendo via a 1988 broadcast, imagined how Bioshock should have ended, saw a fantastic new LUA hack for Super Mario Bros 3 where all control of the game is given to painted-on rainbow stripes, and ordered a set of ruggish Pac-Man half-sized knuckle dusters.
Finally, we played a game where Daft Punk seek their samples stolen by rival electro-duo Justice, pre-ordered adorable official Bubble Bobble shirts and ordered more wearables via the new Edge magazine shop, and, best of all, watched the latest video from pop duo Boy in Static created entirely with TextEdit and ancient .gif clipart — and then played a game based on the same.

San Jose Tickets
Things to do / Travel Guide
The central California coast region is home to a jagged, generally unspoiled coastline covered with beaches that are as varied as the topography and the people. In areas close to San Francisco and further south to the Monterey Peninsula and Big Sur, the beaches are rugged and rocky. Further south, closer to San Simeon, San Luis Obispo, and Morro Bay, there are golden sand beaches along the Pacific Ocean. The region also features several small towns and some very well-known large cities, all of which lend themselves well to the diverse character of the central California coast.
Another great feature of this region is that the renowned Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) runs almost the entire length of this region from Marin County (north of San Francisco) all the way down the coast past Pismo Beach and on to Los Angeles and beyond -taking frequent stops along this amazing route is one of the best ways to explore this region.
Napa Valley, California
Napa Valley has so many wineries that it would take weeks to find and explore them all. However, it's not just the wineries that make Napa Valley a great place to visit; there are other places worth checking out, such as Calistoga, which has been attracting visitors to its mud baths since the days of the California Gold Rush. One of the natural sights in California is the Old Faithful Geyser of California, which, like clockwork, shoots steam 60 feet into the air every three minutes. St. Helena is a sleepy little town with an Old Western feel that caters to upscale tourists. St. Helena is also home to many historic homes, quaint restaurants and inns, and lots of locally-owned boutiques and trendy shops. The main population center in Napa Valley is the town of Napa, located about 55 miles north of San Francisco. Most people speed right through the town of Napa on their way to the wineries but art lovers should take a moment to check out the di Rosa Preserve, which features 30 acres of art created by local Bay Area artists. The di Rose Preserve is only open to guests via private tour.
Sonoma County, California
Like Napa Valley, the most famous places in Sonoma County are the wineries which, just like Napa Valley, are far too numerous to list. Cloverdale, located at the northern end of Sonoma County, is the largest grape growing area of the county and home to the 70-acre Russian River Park with recreational access to the Russian River. Another town in Sonoma County is Petaluma, located about 30 miles north of San Francisco. The area around Petaluma is home to almost 200 wineries and the town itself is one of the oldest in California. Downtown Petaluma is one of the best preserved Historic Downtown Areas and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Santa Rosa is the largest town in the central California wine country and is home to many local attractions, such as the Charles M. Schulz Museum (the guy who drew the "Peanuts" and "Charlie Brown" comic strips).
Marin County, California
Just across from the Golden Gate Bridge lies Marin County. The county is well-known for its stunning beauty that is best showcased in Muir Woods, Point Reyes National Seashore, and Mt. Tamalpais. Frank Lloyd Wright designed the Marin County Civic Center, which was completed after his death in 1959 and served as one of the sets for the movie "Gattaca." Muir Woods is less than half an hour north of San Francisco and is host to a grove of coast redwoods, as well as tanoaks, bigleaf maples, and California Bay laurels. The San Andreas Fault cuts through Marin County, separating the Point Reyes National Monument from the rest of the county. The park features a lighthouse, lagoons, sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, coastal dunes, and winter whale-watching. Mt. Tamalpais is a mere 2,600 feet but the state park surrounding "Mount Tam" is home to 200 miles of hiking trails and is considered the birthplace of mountain biking.
San Francisco, California
San Francisco is endless in terms of places to see and things to do. Union Square is where many of the fine hotels and theaters are located, while the Civic Center is home to City Hall (which appeared in the James Bond film "View To A Kill"). The San Francisco Opera House, the SoMa district (SoMa is short for South Market and is demarcated as everything south of Market Street, including Yerba Buena Gardens and the San Francisco Museum of Art), the Financial District, and the twists and turns of Lombard Street are also included in the city's highlights. Two of the best-known tourist destinations in San Francisco are Chinatown (one of the biggest and most visited in the world) and Fisherman's Wharf, where anything reeled in from the sea, and lots more can be had. Other spots include Pacific Heights and, of course, the psychedelic playground located at the famous corner of Haight and Ashbury, former home of the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. The three most recognizable San Francisco city icons are the Golden Gate Bridge (which links the city with Marin County), the pyramid shaped Transamerica Tower (located in the heart of the Financial District), and the cable cars (which have been helping pedestrians climb the city's hills since 1873).
San Francisco to San Jose, California
While heading south from San Francisco and approaching San Jose, one passes the Silicon Valley cities of Palo Alto (home to Stanford University), Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, Los Altos, and Cupertino. This area is part of the Santa Clara Valley and is home to technology powerhouses like Adobe Systems, Apple Computer, Google, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Sun Microsystems, Symantec, Yahoo!, and hundreds of others.
San Jose, California
San Jose is located about 50 miles southwest of San Francisco and started off as a small Spanish colony, but in the years since its founding in 1777, it has grown into California's third largest city. Known for its modern high-rises and high-tech industry, San Jose is the capital of Silicon Valley and the global center for the high-tech industry and silicon microchip manufacturing. Located at the southern edge of the San Francisco Bay Area, San Jose is home to a variety of sights, such as the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum and Planetarium and the San Jose Museum of Art. One spot that is famous for its "Americana" (i.e., strange places that only a country like the U.S. could come up with) is the Winchester Mystery House; it possesses 2,000 doors and 10,000 windows. A family favorite; Paramount's Great America amusement park, is also located in San Jose.
Oakland, California
Oakland started off as a suburb of San Francisco, it is, after all, located on the eastern side of the San Francisco Bay, but this working class enclave grew into a city in its own right. This growth was spurred when planners placed the West Coast terminus of the Transcontinental Railroad right in the center of town. Writer Jack London, author of "The Call of the Wild" and "White Fang," is an Oakland native. Today, visitors can check out Jack London Square, the brightly-lit waterfront promenade that is named after him. Also, the Bay Bridge, which links Oakland to San Francisco, is a site in and of itself that many bridge-loving visitors find fascinating. History buffs should head down to the docks at the corner of Clay Street and Water Street to visit the USS Potomac, or, as Franklin D. Roosevelt called it, "the floating White House." The USS Potomac is now permanently moored in Oakland, but during his presidency the famous ship was used by FDR as his presidential yacht. Oakland was once considered a crime-ridden city but that imaged has changed in the past years. Now urban renewal, a prosperous economy, downtown redevelopment, and a booming port industry have changed Oakland for the better. Most tourists only pass through or around Oakland, but sights like the Bay Bridge and the USS Potomac make Oakland well worth a day trip.
Berkeley, California
The city of Berkeley, located on the eastern side of the San Francisco Bay, is known as a bastion of intellectual liberalism and is home to the University of California at Berkeley. Famous for a long history of student activism and intellectual activity, Berkeley was also known for hippies and "flower children." Today it's also famous for "yuppies" that have gentrified certain parts of the city. Telegraph Avenue, the main drag, just off the UC Berkeley campus, is still home to a handful of hippies and modern beatniks.
Santa Cruz, California
Santa Cruz is located about 70 miles south of San Francisco on the northern side of the Monterey Peninsula and was also featured in the cult-classic "The Lost Boys," starring Keifer Sutherland. Perhaps best known for being home to the campus of the University of California Santa Cruz, this area is a college town popular with folks that either live or vacation here for quick, weekend getaways. Santa Cruz is filled with cultural sites, such as the historic Mission Santa Cruz. New Age spas and whale-watching cruises (which depart from the local wharf) are also very popular. A great place to take the whole family is the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, it's host to great arcades, rides, concerts, and "beach vibes." Also of particular interest is the truly bizarre "Mystery Spot" just north of town. At the Mystery Spot, apparently, the energies of the earth have gone all awry making for a fun house of sorts where the magnetic fields make for unusual architectural designs and bizarre experiences.
Monterey, California
The city of Monterey has a history dating back to the Ohlone tribe who inhabited the area over 1,000 years ago. The area had been in Spanish hands since the mid-1700s before finally coming under the rule of the United States (following the Mexican-American War). The city claims to have been the site of many of the state's firsts, including the first printing press, brick house, theater, and public library. Following World War II, John Steinbeck made the city a well-known landmark by writing about the area in his celebrated novels "Cannery Row" and "Sweet Thursday." More recently, the Monterey Bay Aquarium has put the city on the map - it is one of the largest aquariums in the world and hosts almost two million visitors a year.
Big Sur, California
Big Sur is a 90-mile stretch of coastline starting about 160 miles south of San Francisco, between Carmel and San Simeon and wedged between the dramatic Pacific Ocean coastline and the Santa Lucia Mountains. It is famous for being home to a forest of California redwood trees as well as the Bixby Bridge, Pfeiffer Beach, Jade Cove, and the McWay Cove Waterfall. Big Sur Village, the one "town" in the 90-mile stretch of the Big Sur coastline, is considered one of the most romantic places in the whole state and also a great place to go for a little R&R.
Cambria, California
Cambria, located in the southern part of this region, is right on the coast and surrounded by mountains and hills covered from top to bottom with pine trees. This small town is divided into two distinct areas: East Village and West Village. East Village is more artsy and, as such, is home to many local artists, studios, and art galleries; West Village is more modern. Main Street is the main drag here in Cambria and it runs the distance from one end of town to the other.
Morro Bay, California
Morro Bay is located about 15 miles northwest of San Luis Obispo and is almost halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. People who come here usually come to marvel at the 576-foot tall Morro Rock, one of the "Nine Sisters" (a series of volcanic peaks that form a 12-mile line between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay), which sits at the mouth of a local waterway and is home to endangered peregrine falcons and other migratory birds. Another local attraction in the town of Morro Bay is the Giant Chessboard at the Embarcadero. Carved out of redwood trees, this Giant Chessboard was inspired by the giant chessboards in Germany and features three-feet-tall chess pieces. There are near-perfect beaches, such as Atascadero State Beach, just north of Morro Rock, as well as Morro Strand State Beach, both of which have gentle waves and lovely views. Cabrillo Peak, in Morro Bay State Park, is another popular tourist attraction. In addition to lots of twisting, turning hiking trails, the park has many 360-degree overlooks as well as many opportunities for swimming.
Pismo Beach, California
Pismo Beach is known for wide and expansive beaches. Families and sports enthusiasts enjoy flocking to the beach just north of Grand Avenue, which is considered by many to be one of the best beaches in the state of California. Just past Wadsworth Street, the coastal beach becomes more rugged and less sandy en route to Pirates Cove and Shell Beach, however, this section of Pismo Beach is less popular than the area north of Grand Avenue.

It accompanied this announcement with footage of Swiss peasants pulling strands of spaghetti down from trees. Huge numbers of viewers were taken in. Many called the BBC wanting to know how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this the BBC diplomatically replied, "place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.

text: The Missouri Supreme Court has upheld the conviction and death sentence for Christopher Collings, who admitted raping and killing 9-year-old Rowan Ford in November 2007. The court on Tuesday rejected numerous arguments in Collings' appeal. The girl was taken from her home in Stella and found a week later in a sinkhole in McDonald County. Her stepfather, David Spears, was also charged with murder and rape but pleaded guilty to reduced charges of child endangerment and hindering prosecution. Prosecutors said there was no physical evidence tying Spears to the killing. Collings' lawyers argued among other things that the trial court should have excluded his confession. Collings had said he ``freaked out'' and strangled Rowan because she looked at him while being raped.

Conscience vote on gay marriage a 'chance'
PUBLISHED: 04 Dec 2011 10:31:03 | UPDATED: 05 Dec 2011 04:48:21PRINT EDITION: 04 Dec 2011
Labor frontbencher Stephen Smith says a bill on same-sex marriage could pass through parliament if all parties agree to a conscience vote on the issue.
On Saturday, delegates at the ALP national conference voted in favour of changing the party's rules to allow the party's MPs a conscience vote on gay marriage.
Mr Smith said a bill to amend the Marriage Act could pass through parliament if all MPs are allowed a conscience vote.
"It has got a chance, I do think it has a chance," he told Sky News on Sunday.
Labor backbencher Stephen Jones said on Saturday he would introduce a private member's bill next year to amend the Marriage Act.
Mr Smith said community attitudes have changed on the issue in the past few years.
"The community has moved on in this respect," he said.
He said the pressure has increased on Opposition Leader Tony Abbott to allow his MPs a conscience vote on gay marriage if a bill came before parliament.
"Tony Abbott will find it very hard to say to his parliamentary party here is the decision of the shadow cabinet, you are now all bound by it," he said.
Opposition frontbencher Scott Morrison said his party retained its position on not allowing same-sex marriage.
"We had a commitment before the last election that we would not support a change to the Marriage Act," Mr Morrison told Sky News on Sunday.
He said there should not be a conscience vote on amending the Marriage Act.
Mr Morrison said the priorities of the government were on show at the ALP conference.
"These issues they have allowed their conference to be defined by send a message to Australians 'what are these guys are on about and who's running the show?'," he said.

American Gun: A History of the U.S. in Ten Firearms
American Gun: A History of the U.S. in Ten Firearms (Hardcover)
The #1 "New York Times"-bestselling author of "American Sniper" and former Navy SEAL Kyle explores American history through the lens of the nation's most iconic guns.
About the Author
SEAL Team 3 Chief Chris Kyle served four combat tours in Operation Iraqi Freedom and elsewhere. For his bravery in battle, he was awarded two Silver Stars, five Bronze Stars with Valor, two Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals, and one Navy and Marine Corps Commendation. Additionally, he received the Grateful Nation Award, given by the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs.

The Sensing Technique, used by sensor type shinobi, allows users to detect chakra. Using this technique, sensors can easily detect, and track down targets. The range of this technique varies between sensors.
Unique Sensory Techniques
- Spider Web Area - Exclusive to Kidōmaru. With this technique, he is able to send chakra through the web to detect the approach of any enemy, that touches the threads. The web is so sensitive, that not even the slightest disturbance of the air goes unnoticed.
- Mind's Eye of the Kagura - Exclusive to Karin. With this technique, she is capable of finding, sensing and tracking any individual over vast range by focusing and opening her mind's eye.
- Rain Tiger at Will Technique - Exclusive to Nagato. Using this, he is capable of creating falling raindrops, which are closely linked to his senses. When the rain is obstructed by a chakra belonging to someone not of the village, the existence of the intruder can be detected.
- Sensing Water Sphere - A sphere made out of Water Release that lets the user monitor the surrounding area. Despite the usefulness, the sphere itself does not provide a great form of detection, unless it is teamed-up with a barrier.
- Negative Emotions Sensing - Exclusive to Kurama and its jinchūriki. Using this technique, the user is capable of detecting negative emotions, such as hatred, of any individual around them.
- Concealed Sand Picture Cat - Exclusive to Gaara. With this technique, he is able to spread specialised sand across a wide terrain and detect anything that comes into contact with it, even if the target it invisible.
- Throughout the series, various characters have commented on the feel of chakra and similar comments regarding the ability to sense high, foul or potent levels of chakra a little, leading to the possibility that chakra sensing is merely a more refined version of this by either teaching or being simply born more "sensitive".[1][2][3][4]

This blog is my look at movies, pop culture and entertainment. It's a blog by the people that speaks for the people who love entertainment. I love to write and to share my opinion. Hope you enjoy what I have to say.
Movie Review: Cadillac Records
Some of the craziest stories that I hear from my dad seem to come from the 1960′s. He sang in a little known group called "The Raggedy Roaches" back in Jacksonville Fla. (his story about meeting Little Richard is classic but not appropriate for this blog). One thing that he always says is there were A LOT of drugs involved. Not just alcohol and marijuana, but heroin, Sweet Lady H, The Dragon or whatever you call it. My dad watched it give music new life, while at the same time taking people's lives. It's no wonder the music back then was so crazy. Muddy Waters has a song called "The Hoochie Coochie Man". It doesn't get much crazier than that.

Movie Review: Transporter 3
I'm not sure why I always get sucked into sequels. I know no matter how good the movie is it will never be as good as the original. The trailer looks so good on TV so I ignore the strong feeling of disappointment that I know is coming [kind of like Jack in the Box's commercial for its Teriyaki bowl. They look so good on TV until I remember A) JITB is not known for its delicious teriyaki B) If I wanted teriyaki, JITB would rank 45th on my list of places to go eat]

Chila, Buenos Aires
Puerto Madero
Buenos Aires
Tel: 54 11 4343 6067
Concierge.com's insider take:
Widely praised for its well-presented nouvelle Argentine cuisine when it opened in 2006, Chila remains an elegant (if slightly stiff) favorite of business types, big-spending locals, and special-occasion visitors. Leather seats, bookcases, low couches, and warm lighting give the dining room a sexy librarian vibe; at the rear of the restaurant, a long patio overlooking the Rio de la Plata offers a darker, glossier option. The bold fare references French techniques in dishes like classic châteaubriand, and succulent duck magret with onion Tatin. But the kitchen also offers steak alternatives such as quail, rabbit, and deer loin, which are relatively uncommon in B.A. dining rooms. The real draw, however, may be the 1,200-bottle-capacity wine cellar, stocked with over 200 varieties from across South America. Share the impressive "chocolate tasting" dessert course to finish, and then walk it off on the riverfront.
Open Mondays through Thursdays 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm and 8 pm to midnight, Fridays and Saturdays 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm and 8 pm to 1 am, Sundays 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm and 8 pm to midnight.

ACE Fellow
Dr. Jackie El-Sayed, professor of Mechanical Engineering, was a Fellow in the prestigious American Council on Education program. Now back at Kettering University, she shares her reflections on the memorable experiences.
Dr. Jackie El-Sayed, a professor of Mechanical Engineering, served in the prestigious American Council on Education Fellows Program and spent an incredible year matched with world-class mentors from higher education. Now back at Kettering University in Flint, she is sharing her reflections on this memorable opportunity. Dr. El-Sayed is a 1986 graduate of Kettering.
"I'd like to begin by offering a sincere 'thank you' to Kettering's president and provost for nominating me. I had never heard of the ACE Fellows program so this experience would not have been possible without their support in many ways," she said.
What is the American Council on Education Fellows Program?
The ACE Fellows program is an honor that recognizes individuals with potential for high level leadership in higher education administration. It is also called 'The Proven Pathway to Leadership" and the overarching goal is the professionalization of U.S. higher education. To be selected the individual is nominated by the president and/or provost of their institution. There is a lengthy application that includes case scenarios, demonstrated leadership record, and four confidential letters of recommendation. From the applications, finalists are selected to be interviewed by five university presidents and the ACE Fellows director in Washington D.C.
The fellowship program is most similar to an executive MBA program focused on the business of higher education. It includes coursework and projects on topics such as fund raising, marketing, financial management. It also includes campus visits, an internship, case studies, as well as a fellowship focus project given by the home institution. Each fellow is matched with a personal ACE mentor through a placement process who is a president or high ranking higher education executive. I was matched with my mentor, President Maria Klawe of Harvey Mudd College, the former Dean of Engineering at Princeton. Fellows also have five president-emeriti coaches, one of whom is designated as our personal 360 coach, mine was President-emeritus Jacquelyn Belcher. There is also a public speaking coach, ACE peer mentors, and a cohort of fellows that is formed with diversity in mind, including organizational type, disciplines, etc.
(For my application, in addition to letters about my work at Kettering, my reference letters included Captain Robert Powers, the Commanding Officer of the Michigan State Police Traffic Safety Division. Two of my interviewers in Washington D.C. were President Jon Whitmore, who is a former ACE Fellow, previously president of Texas Tech, now president of San Jose State University and President-Emeritus Stephen Trachtenberg, of George Washington University. For my internship interviews, Michigan Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land agreed to act as my phone reference, but it turned out to be unnecessary.)
When and where did you attend?
As a 2008-2009 ACE Fellow, the first event I attended was the Council of Fellows Weekend in Washington D.C. in June of 2008, however, the placement process began in March after the press release went out. The Council of Fellows Weekend is an annual event where all former fellows are invited back for a weekend conference. The new class of fellows is introduced and the outgoing class of fellows share their reflections. My fellowship was for the 2008-2009 academic year.
There are mandatory parts of the fellowship program, but it is also formally customized to the individual through a learning contract. In addition to the three mandatory seminars, I spent the first half of the fellowship year completing campus visits, both individually and with the other fellows, to over 20 campuses across the country, hosted by administrators at those campuses. I also worked on my fellowship projects, studied for my learning goals, and shadowed three higher education executives at different institutions to learn about their roles, as well as prepare myself for my internship. In the second half of the year, I shadowed my mentor, President Klawe, and completed several projects as a part of the cabinet at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, California. During this time, I only saw my family one time per month. Being away from my husband and children for so long was the most brutal part of the fellowship.
What was the best part?
The best part for me was my relationship with my mentor! It may be hard for some to understand, but because I am a woman in engineering, I have never had a woman professor in my discipline in any of my three degrees and only a few woman profs in humanities courses in undergraduate school (GMI/Kettering). Because she is also from engineering, Maria and I have similar professional and family experiences, but over and above this, our personalities and outlooks on life are also similar, so the chemistry of our relationship was the most outstanding experience for me. I was so fortunate that she agreed to be my mentor! She was most generous in making time for me and opening up her entire campus to me.
Another wonderful part was the validation that I experienced for my leadership skills, as well as the understanding that this is a transferable skill set that I can use in my future career. For example, I was selected the president of my leadership team, the HMC cabinet told me how much they appreciated my input and how clearly I see things, and I also was selected one of only three fellows to be invited back to present to the incoming class of fellows at their orientation. My ACE Learning Contract was posted to Blackboard for use by the incoming class as a model example.
In addition, the experience helped to refine my leadership and administrative skills by assisting me in understanding what principles specific to my understanding of Kettering's organizational dynamics are transferable to higher education, in general. We have been told that this level of maturity usually takes years of experience to gain.
How has it changed your approach now that you are back at Kettering?
I didn't realize how much I had been changed by my one year away, until I was back on campus. I definitely had to transition back and become re-accustomed to my environment. My understanding of what is involved with running a university from a president's viewpoint, as well as how other institutions conduct business, has transformed my understanding of my experience here. Because I happen to be a systems thinker, I particularly have a gained a greater understanding of standard practices and processes used at other organizations, and how these could benefit Kettering.
Are there any other thoughts you'd like to share?
My internship:
At HMC, I shadowed my mentor, which means that I went everywhere with her. Our protocol was that I would attend all campus meetings with her and if there was something that I shouldn't attend then she would tell me. This happened only a couple of times, so I attended all her meetings including the board meetings, the cabinet meetings, her one-on-one meetings with her staff, fund raising events, etc. I was actually the only individual that escorted her to her naturalization ceremony when she became a United States citizen. (She is from Canada originally.)
My ACE Learning contract and report:
Specifically, my personal ACE Learning Contract involved understanding institutional operations, budgeting and financial management, fund raising and capital campaigns, accreditation, experiential learning, faculty performance, and functioning of governing boards. This formal contract is signed by both the home and host presidents with the original kept on file at ACE. I completed many projects and activities on each of these topics at HMC as well as case studies, visits, and seminar work. Of course, I also picked up much more knowledge throughout my experience and found other topics that I also needed to understand. My progress toward my learning goals was collected in monthly reports that I sent to my nominators, and I also completed a hundred-page final report which also was signed by Presidents Klawe and Liberty, again the original is kept on file at ACE. ACE is very keen on accountability and the success of their graduates. Due to the increased knowledge I gained through the program, I can now make positive contributions here.
Giving back: new assignment:
Interestingly enough, I have also gained renewed insight into how co-op education continues to assist in learning throughout one's life. Since I was once a co-op student, I already understood how to gain the most from my internship experience, and that it was up to me to take initiative and make things happen for me to reach my goals. I also have a renewed appreciation for the importance of reflection and reflective learning. How it feels to be a new co-op student is now fresh in my mind due to my internship. Furthermore, I understand that it was cooperative education that helped me to become a 'process person' (as one individual called me), which is a systems thinker. I understand how co-op contributed to my instincts with respect to organization dynamics, accountability, and leadership.
Returning fellows are to immediately begin building upon the professional development provided by ACE and their host campus, through increased responsibility back at their home campus. The provost and president have given me the assignment to complete a benchmark and provide recommendations to improve our cooperative education program. In addition to this, the provost has provided me with several other assignments in Academic Affairs. My ACE Fellowship Focus project forms the basis for my new assignment on the co-op program; however, I have an in-depth understanding of our current program since I am both a former GMI student and a professor at this school who has advised a substantial number of theses. While at HMC, I acted as an advisor for a HMC "Clinic" team, which is considered a benchmark program in undergraduate engineering. It is this program that was the model for the Olin School of Engineering SCOPE program. The HMC Clinic program is similar to our senior thesis program, except it is an industrial project completed by a team of Mudd students on campus with a faculty advisor and industrial liaisons, as opposed to the thesis which is completed at the industrial sponsor site with an employer advisor and it is the faculty adviser who visits. This program formed the basis for my recommendations for Kettering in my Fellowship Focus project, and is what I will be building upon in my new assignment. I am very excited about the possibility of making a positive contribution to a program in which I so deeply believe and also feel grateful that the Enrollment Services staff is also enthusiastic in supporting and working with me.
My mentor:
Please look up the stories on my remarkable mentor, President Maria Klawe. She became the 10th member of the Microsoft board of directors while I was there and I witnessed the vetting process which included a visit from Steve Balmer. She is very well connected to many presidents including MIT, CalTech and Stanford. Story about her Microsoft selection: http://www.hmc.edu/specialinterestfeatures/inthenews/klawe_microsoft.html
