Elle Macpherson (born 29 March 1964) is an Australian businesswoman, television host, model, and actress. She is well known for her record five cover appearances for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue beginning in the 1980s, leading to her nickname "The Body". She is also known as the founder primary model and creative director for a series of business ventures, including Elle Macpherson Intimates, a lingerie line, and The Body, a line of skin care products. In 2010, she became the host and executive producer of Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model. She is currently an executive producer of NBC's Fashion Star and was the host for the first season.
Macpherson was born Eleanor Nancy Gow in Killara, New South Wales in 1964, the daughter of entrepreneur and sound engineer Peter Gow, a former president of a Sydney rugby league team, the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, and Frances Gow, a nurse.[4] Macpherson's parents divorced when she was 10 years old, and she moved with her mother and two siblings. Her mother later remarried, and a clerical mistake in registering at her new school meant that her surname was changed from Gow to Macpherson (her stepfather's surname).[5][6]
Macpherson grew up in East Lindfield, a suburb in the Sydney's North Shore, and attended Killara High School, completing her Higher School Certificate in 1981. She briefly studied law for one year at the University of Sydney. Her sister is businesswoman and environmentalist Mimi Macpherson, born Miriam Frances Gow.[7]
Macpherson enrolled to study law at Sydney University. Before beginning her university studies, she visited the United States to spend one year doing modelling work to earn money to pay for her law books.[8] She travelled to New York City, where she initially signed up with Click Model Management. Her modelling career began in 1982 with a television commercial for Tab which established her as a "girl next door" figure in Australia.[9]
In 1986, Time magazine had already put her on the cover (with a feature entitled "The Big Elle") but by that time, she had also appeared on the covers of Cosmopolitan, Elle, GQ, Harper's Bazaar and Vogue.[10] She cemented her high profile through frequent appearances in Elle, where she appeared in every issue for six straight years. During that time, at the age of 21, she married Gilles Bensimon, the creative director of Elle.[11]

Eventually she garnered more exposure through Sports Illustrated magazine's annual Swimsuit Issue. She appeared on the cover a record five times: 1986, 1987, 1988, 1994, and 2006. Along with Naomi Campbell, she co-hosted the Miss Universe 2001 pageant. Her popularity had reached such a level that Australian government offered her a position on its tourist commission as an unofficial ambassador.[12]
After appearing nude in the 1994 film Sirens, Macpherson learned that the media had begun searching for nude photos of her, including contacting her ex-boyfriends. To address this, Macpherson appeared in a nude pictorial in the May 1994 issue of Playboy magazine, to produce nude photos "on her own terms".[13] She returned to the runway in 2010 to close the fall Louis Vuitton show for Marc Jacobs in Paris.[14]
In the 1980s, together with Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Tatjana Patitz, Naomi Campbell, Pavlína Pořízková, and Cindy Crawford, Macpherson became part of the new generation of supermodels.[15] In 1989 she was given the nickname Elle "The Body" Macpherson by Time Magazine after she appeared on their cover. She went on to use the name in a number of business ventures.[16]
In 1994, she left her agency, Ford Models, to form her own company, Elle Macpherson Inc., which would serve as the financial organizational base for her later endeavours.[15] She soon went on to produce her own highly popular series of calendars, each of which was accompanied by a "making of" television program in 1992, 1993, and 1994. She used this success as a springboard to create the "Your Personal Best – The Body" series of workout videos.[15]
She later diversified her portfolio of businesses, and in 1990 launched her lingerie collection 'Elle Macpherson Intimates' in partnership with Bendon Limited Apparel. Intimates met with remarkable international success, becoming the single best-selling lingerie line in both Great Britain[17] and Australia[18]
The partnership was among the first instances of a crossover between a model and a fashion label. In 1989, when she was first approached by Bendon to promote their lingerie in Australia, Macpherson saw an opportunity to reverse their strategy and suggested a licensing arrangement, with products bearing her name and designs created in partnership with Bendon's team. Though commonplace now, the idea was unorthodox at the time.[19]
Macpherson took a leading role in the development and management of the company, serving as chief marketing officer and later Creative Director. In January 2010, Macpherson expanded the line, launching Obsidian as a sub-brand.[20] While nursing her second child, she spearheaded the development of a signature maternity bra line.[21] Intimates has retained a high brand recognition into the 2000s, appearing as a featured brand on America's Next Top Model; last year, the brand celebrated 10 years of being stocked at Selfridges.[citation needed]
Macpherson has also created her own line of beauty products: "Elle Macpherson – The Body". The line was carried at Boots,[22] and Australian suncare brand Invisible Zinc.[23] She spent a year on the board of directors at Hot Tuna, advising on product development, brand positioning and sales strategy.[24]
In 2007, the BBC TV series The Money Programme aired a documentary which followed Macpherson through her day-to-day business as she continued to develop her international lingerie business. In 2009 Macpherson delivered the Keynote Address at the annual meeting of the International Trademark Association.[25]
In March 2008, she signed a three-year deal with Revlon Cosmetics, which named her a Global Brand Ambassador.[26] She has since been featured in print and advertising campaigns for the company.
Macpherson has received a number of awards recognising her business acumen and the success of Elle Macpherson Intimates. In 2005, she was named Glamour Magazine's Entrepreneur of the Year;[27] in 2007, she received an Everywoman Ambassador Award recognising her success as a businesswoman;[28] in 2008, the Underfashion Club's Femmy Awards crowned her Lingerie Designer of the Year; in 2009, she received a World Career Award from the Women's World Awards.
Macpherson made her film debut playing an artist's model in the 1994 film Sirens, which starred Hugh Grant, Sam Neill, and Tara FitzGerald. She followed with a two-year series of acting roles, appearing in films such as Woody Allen's Alice, Batman & Robin alongside George Clooney, The Edge with Anthony Hopkins, and The Mirror Has Two Faces with Barbra Streisand. In 1996 Macpherson hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live.[29]
In 1999, Macpherson appeared in five episodes of the American TV series Friends as Joey Tribbiani's roommate and eventual girlfriend, Janine Lecroix. Macpherson went on to act in the movie Jane Eyre with William Hurt, and she has also appeared alongside Ben Stiller and Sarah Jessica Parker in If Lucy Fell. Her most controversial acting role was in the Showtime cable network miniseries, A Girl Thing, as a woman experimenting with bisexuality. In 2001, she appeared in the Italian movie South Kensington. She played agent Claudia Foster in The Beautiful Life, appearing with Mischa Barton, Sara Paxton and Corbin Bleu. The show centred on aspiring models working for a modelling agency, trying to make it big in New York City and in the fashion world.[30] In March 2011, she starred with Gary Lineker in an advertisement for Walkers Crinkles.[31]
In July 2010, Macpherson became the new host of Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model, taking over from Lisa Snowdon. She also serves as executive producer on the show. The revamped show's panellists now include OBE-winning fashion designer Julien Macdonald, designer Whitney Port and male model Tyson Beckford.[32]
Macpherson hosts and executive produces NBC's reality competition series Fashion Star. The series gives 14 unknown designers, mentored by celebrities such as Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie, and John Varvatos, the chance to launch their collections in three of America's largest clothing retailers, including Macy's, H&M, and Saks Fifth Avenue. Its first season was sold to 75 countries.[33]
According to a police statement reproduced online, between 11 and 22 July 1997 William Ryan Holt and Michael Mischler broke into Macpherson's Los Angeles home while she was away on business in Chicago.[34] They stole an estimated $100,000 worth of jewellery, $6,000 in cash, and several photographs. The two were arrested on 4 August 1997. Mischler, 29, pled guilty to one count of attempted extortion and one count of burglary. He received a six-year and eight-month prison sentence. Holt, 26, a former US Air Force enlisted man and a military-justice convict out on parole, pled guilty to one count of extortion, and he was sentenced to one year in prison.[35]
Macpherson is a European Ambassador for RED, an initiative set up by Bono and Bobby Shriver to raise money and awareness for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria[36] and to help eradicate AIDS for women and children in Africa. She is also an ambassador for UNICEF.[37]
In Australia, she is an ambassador for the Smile Foundation, which helps the families of children with rare diseases and organises government research grants.[5][6] She has also modelled for charitable causes including fundraising for 2007 British flood victims,[38] and child welfare group Absolute Return for Kids.[39]
In 2012, Macpherson led Sky's campaign for International Women's Day.[40] MacPherson is a patron for the National Association for the Children of Alcoholics (NACOA).[41]
Macpherson met French fashion photographer Gilles Bensimon in 1984 on a photo session for Elle magazine. They wed in May 1986, and divorced three years later.[42][43]
Macpherson began a relationship with London-based French financier Arpad Busson in 1996.[44] They have two sons together: Arpad Flynn Busson, known as Flynn (born February 1998 in New York City),[45] and Aurelius Cy Andrea Busson (born February 2003 in London).[46] The family lived together in London until Busson and Macpherson's separation in July 2005.[44]
Macpherson subsequently began dating Miami, Florida-based hotel heir and billionaire Jeffrey Soffer in early 2009.[47] They broke up in March 2012,[48] but reconciled following his injury in a helicopter accident in November 2012.[48] They became engaged in March 2013,[48] and married in July 2013 at the Laucala Resort in Fiji.[49][50]
After living for many years in the UK,[51] it was reported that Macpherson also lives in Florida, where Soffer is based.[52] Besides English, she speaks fluent French and is conversational in Italian and Spanish.[21]

The Boston Red Sox are a professional baseball team based in Boston, Massachusetts, and a member of Major League Baseball's American League Eastern Division. They have won 8 World Series, having appeared in 12. Founded in 1901 as one of the American League's eight charter franchises, the Red Sox's home ballpark has been Fenway Park since 1912. The "Red Sox" name was chosen by the team owner, John I. Taylor, around 1908, following previous Boston teams that had been known as the "Red Stockings".
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are a professional baseball team based in Anaheim, California, United States. The Angels are a member of the Western Division of Major League Baseball's American League. The "Angels" name is a tribute to the previous Los Angeles Angels who played in South Central L.A. from 1903-1957. The Angels have been based in Angel Stadium of Anaheim since 1966. The Angels franchise of today was established in the MLB in 1961 through Gene Autry, the team's first Major League owner who bought the rights to continue the franchise name from Walter O'Malley, the former Los Angeles Dodgers owner who acquired the franchise from Phil Wrigley, the owner of the Chicago Cubs at the time.
The Chicago White Sox are a Major League Baseball team located in the south side of Chicago, Illinois. The White Sox play in the American League's Central Division. Since 1991, the White Sox have played in U.S. Cellular Field, which was originally called New Comiskey Park and nicknamed "The Cell" by local fans. The White Sox are one of two major league clubs based in Chicago, the other being the Chicago Cubs of the National League. The White Sox last won the World Series in 2005.
In Major League Baseball, spring training is a series of practices and exhibition games preceding the start of the regular season. Spring training allows new players to try out for roster and position spots, and gives existing team players practice time prior to competitive play. Spring training has always attracted fan attention, drawing crowds who travel to the warmer climates to enjoy the weather and watch their favorite teams play, and spring training usually coincides with spring break for many college students.
Spring training typically lasts about six weeks, starting in mid February and running until just before the season opening day (and often right at the end of spring training, some teams will play spring training games on the same day other teams have opening day of the season), traditionally the first week of April. Pitchers and catchers report to spring training first because pitchers benefit from a longer training period. A few days later, the position players arrive and team practice begins. Team members normally wear their batting practice uniforms for the duration of spring training and only wear their normal jerseys beginning on Opening Day.
The following is a list of players, both past and current, who appeared at least in one game for the New York Yankees franchise, including the 1901–02 Baltimore Orioles, and the 1903–12 New York Highlanders.
Players in Bold are members of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
U.S. Cellular Field (formerly Comiskey Park) is a baseball park in Chicago, Illinois. It is the home of the Chicago White Sox of Major League Baseball's American League. The park is owned by the Illinois Sports Facilities Authority, but operated by the White Sox. The park opened for the 1991 season, after the White Sox had spent 81 years at the original Comiskey Park. The new park, completed at a cost of US$167 million, also opened with the Comiskey Park name, but became U.S. Cellular Field in 2003 after U.S. Cellular bought the naming rights at $68 million over 20 years. It hosted the MLB All-Star Game that same year. Many sportscasters]who?[ and fans continue to use the name Comiskey Park. Prior to its demolition, the old Comiskey Park was the oldest in-use ballpark in Major League Baseball, a title now held by Fenway Park in Boston.
The stadium is situated just to the west of the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago's Armour Square neighborhood, adjacent to the more famous neighborhood of Bridgeport. It was built directly across 35th Street from old Comiskey Park, which was demolished to make room for a parking lot that serves the venue. Old Comiskey's home plate is a marble plaque on the sidewalk next to U.S. Cellular Field and the foul lines are painted in the parking lot. Also, the spectator ramp across 35th Street is designed in such a way (partly curved, partly straight but angling east-northeast) that it echoes the contour of the old first-base grandstand.
Major League Baseball (MLB) is a North American professional baseball league consisting of teams that play in the American League and National League. The two leagues, dating to 1901 and 1876 respectively as separate legal entities, merged in 2000 into a single organization led by the Commissioner of Baseball.
MLB constitutes one of the four major professional sports leagues of North America. It is composed of thirty teams: twenty-nine in the United States and one in Canada. Teams in MLB play 162 games each season over six months (April through September). Five teams in each league advance to a four-round postseason tournament that culminates in the World Series, a best-of-seven-games championship series between the two league champions that dates to 1903.

Super Psyched Teachers Make Brilliant 'Footloose' Back-to-School Parody
Going back to school has never been so fun.
Going back to school has never been so fun.
Jimmy Fallon took Kevin Hart on a roller coaster ride, something Hart isn't a fan of. They hopped on the Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rock It at Universal Studios, where Fallon was broadcasting from. I doubt Hart will ever get on a roller coaster again. The ride definitely won't make Hart overcome his roller coaster fears.
This has to be the greatest TV show entrance ever! After Kevin Bacon heard dancing was banned on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, he recreated his 'Footloose' moves, on what happened to be the movie's 30th anniversary. 30 years later, Bacon still has it. Well, other than the stunt double doing all the flips and tricks.
It's reportedly splitsville for Julianne Hough and her boyfriend Ryan Seacrest, capping off what has been a pretty bad week for the gorgeous singer.
On the PBS series 'Finding Your Roots,' Kevin Bacon and his wife Kyra Sedgwick found out they're related; to each other. They're 9th cousins once removed. Kyra said, 'As long as we're not first cousins, it's fine.'
'Hoppy' birthday Blake Shelton. He turns 36 today and has a lot to celebrate. He's hot on the country music charts. He's hot on the road and he's hot on TV, helping judge 'The Voice.' Plus he's married to Miranda Lambert.
The 2012 CMT Music Awards winners were the stars of the night at the annual ceremony that celebrated the year's best country music videos. The show, co-hosted by country's own Toby Keith and actress Kristen Bell, highlighted the best clips of the year while providing an evening full of entertainment with countless live performances from the hottest country acts.
CMT unrolled the red carpet for their 2012 Music Awards nominations this morning, and it looks like Carrie Underwood is set to have quite the year, with a stunning total of five nominations. While Underwood is in the lead, tons of other country stars netted multiple nominations this year. Miranda Lambert is packing four — two for her solo work and two with first-time nominees Pistol Annies.
The 2011 CMA Awards winners had plenty to celebrate as they accepted their honors on the year's biggest night in country music. The annual awards show, hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood — airing live from Nashville — pays tribute to the genre's biggest stars. Choosing winners from this list of talent is no easy feat.
A whos who in country music is gearing up for the CMA Awards in Nashville tonight. Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood will host the show for the 4th year in a row. And it's shaping up to be more than just a show with awards.
Next month's CMA Awards in Nashville will begin with Blake Shelton. The reigning Male Vocalist of the Year will open the show singing 'Footloose,' the song he recorded for a remake of the 1984 movie starring Kevin Bacon.
Country reigns supreme once again over at 'Dancing With the Stars.' The Band Perry performed, and Julianne Hough and Blake Shelton graced the stage on 'DWTS' recently. The country tradition is continuing this week, as the lovely and talented Martina McBride and Kristin Chenoweth will appear on Tuesday night's episode. That 'DWTS' performance stage is turning into a regular ol' hoedown, ain't it?

To save both money and energy from installing skylights in a retail environment, control is essential. Automatic photocontrols will ensure that stores are maximizing daylight, and there is a choice between switching and dimming controls. Heschong explains that switching is "simple and less expensive" and in general tends to result in higher energy savings, while dimming is "more subtle, more sophisticated, and more expensive." She says switching is an attractive choice in retail because people move around while shopping, meaning their focus continuously is shifting and "they are less aware of discreet changes in light levels."
Loveland explains that the relationship between the location of the skylights and the type of product being sold on the retail floor is important. He says he tends to generously skylight the non-internally lit shelving while keeping skylights out of refrigerated areas with internal illumination so the skylights do not compete with the electric lighting. Skylights typically are used to illuminate the general sales floor, but it varies from retailer to retailer. While PCC and Stop & Shop primarily have skylights in the general merchandise areas, Heschong says she knows retailers who employ different strategies, such as one in the Southwest who swears by providing daylight over the produce section. "Their comment to me was that the produce sells so quickly, having higher light levels or worrying about spoilage is a non-issue for them." However, others avoid daylight over produce or flower displays because they worry the natural light will accelerate aging or blooming. Regardless of how many skylights are used or where they are located, "Make sure all sunlight is diffused," Heschong says. "Unfiltered sunlight is not a good idea."
As more supermarket chains across the country incorporate daylight into their stores, it appears to be a design strategy that will continue to be refined with time. And while the energy savings, customer satisfaction, and other benefits make the use of skylights in supermarkets worthwhile, Heschong says daylight also can be implemented as a creative design tool. "It is entirely possible to use daylighting as a strategic design element, to use it a little more artfully and as part of a visual merchandising strategy," Heschong explains. "I see that as the next frontier of daylighting, is getting the architects, lighting designers, and interior designers to all understand that they can use daylighting as an aesthetic component of design."
STORES | Albertsons, Boise, Idaho; Puget Consumer Cooperative Natural Markets, Seattle; Stop & Shop, Quincy, MassachusettsRESEARCH TEAM | Heschong Mahone Group, Fair Oaks, CaliforniaDAYLIGHTING STRATEGIES | Photocontrols to measure daylight levels and automatically adjust electric light output; natural light via skylights
The use of skylights in supermarkets can result in substantial energy savings as photocontrols automatically adjust the electric lighting when adequate daylight is present. In stores such as Albertsons, skylights are an integral part of the lighting design and offer an ambient environment.The frozen foods section of a Food4Less store is shown illuminated by only daylight. Clerestory windows let in natural light and illuminate colored leaves hanging from the ceiling at the Redmond, Washington, PCC Natural Market location.The Redmond PCC store features 28 skylights that are specially glazed to block heat and diffuse the incoming daylight.Shoppers at an Albertsons store where illumination occurs by natural light via skylights with no electric lighting on.

So, I just picked up Amumu, and I'm doing very well with him, despite the fact that I've only used him 3 times. However, I thought I'd check my item build to see if you guys had any recommendations. Regrowth Pendant->Philosopher's Stone Ninja Tabi Sunfire Cape Sunfire Cape/Warmog's Armor Sunfire Cape/Warmog's Armor (whichever I didn't get before) After that, I sometimes get a Banshee's Veil, depending on the other team, and then I sell my Philosopher's Stone and replace it with some kind of AP item (the thing that cuts enemy magic resist or the book that gains AP as you get kills).
Junior Member
That's pretty much the basic build for Amumu out there. I usually find Amumu shines the best in the jungle and this also allows your team to get 2 solo lanes which is even more beneficial. I would recomend trying out the jungling guide here for him. Some AP items would be really beneficial to your build to cause some good amount of damage with your tantrums and bandages. After your tabi I would recomend getting a Rod of ages. That way it has enough time to power up and it will still add some health and mana for ya. Also, I like to get a guardian angel before my sunfires to keep me alive longer. I think most people hold off on that until after a few sunfires though.
Senior Member
There's basically a few standardized item builds for amumu mostly mentioned above me (All builds start with philo's > ninja tabi...or boots of choice) -AoE damage/Mixed defense Sunfire Sunfire Banshee's Veil (Or if you choose, Force of Nature, but i highly prefer banshee's) Guardian Angel -AoE slow/damage / mixed defense (but not as much armor as above) Sunfire Rylai's Scepter (1.5s slow with every tantrum or bandage toss is nice, more AP, and HP to boot) Banshee's Veil (Or if you choose, Force of Nature, but i highly prefer banshee's) Guardian Angel -Heavier damage while still getting good hp/mana but armor/MR come way later Rod of Ages Rod of Ages (or skip #2) Rylai's Scepter Guardian Angel Banshee's Veil (Or if you choose, Force of Nature, but i highly prefer banshee's) basically....you can use offshoots of any of those 3 core builds and you rarely can go wrong because of how versatile and amazing amumu is =P

Watch Out for 'Holiday Heart Syndrome' on Thanksgiving — Health Check [VIDEO]
While you should eat, drink and be merry on Thanksgiving, doctors are warning not to overdo it. Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to what's known as "holiday heart syndrome."
The term was coined back in the 1970s when researchers detected heart rhythm abnormalities in 24 study participants, none of whom had a history of heart disease — but all of whom had too much to drink over the holidays.

Cochon's New Butchery and Other NOLA Hits
by Mollie Chen
Having read and reread Calvin Trillin's tales of eating in New Orleans, and drooled over the descriptions of oyster loaves and muffulettas, it was only a matter of time before I made my own gluttonous pilgrimage to the Big Easy. Last week, I went down for a whirlwind trip with a friend who (thankfully) is just as food-obsessed as I am. Over the course of three days, we ate and drank our way through the city, sampling both haute Southern cuisine and down-and-dirty Creole favorites.
One of our most memorable meals was at chef Donald Link's rightly praised Cochon. Link doesn't pander to picky eaters--his menu starts with alligator and fried rabbit livers and proceeds through nearly every part of the pig, including cheeks, ears, and hock. And it's good. It's really, freaking good. (I know because we tried nearly everything on the menu.) Our favorites: a tidy oyster and meat pie; crisp balls of spicy boudin; and luscious eggplant and shrimp dressing. At the end of our epic lunch, the chef came by (and this being New Orleans, he had bourbon with us instead of coffee), and gave us the rundown on his newest project.
Link and his partners own the entire warehouse that Cochon is located in and they are in the process of turning that back space into Cochon Butcher, a self-proclaimed "store, swine bar, and eatery." When it opens later this month, there will be a 25-seat wine bar serving muffulettas and Cuban sandwiches made with homemade salumi plus bar food like pickled pork salad and stuffed sausage bread. There will also be a retail area selling every manner of charcuterie, top-grade meats, and baked goods. Upstairs, Link has turned the entire 5,000-square-foot space into a private dining area, repurposing the building's original beams for pocket doors and tables. And for those of us who won't be in NOLA anytime soon, the chef also has a cookbook coming out later this spring. To top it off, the Louisiana native told us about his favorite eating spots on the drive from New Orleans to Lake Charles:
* "The first weekend in May is the Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival--great dancing and music. This area has the best crawfish. I can tear through five to ten pounds, no problem. I eat all the way to Lake Charles."
* Bubba Frey's, in Mowata: "They have a seven-piece Cajun band that's brilliant, and Bubba makes the best boudin."
* Café Des Amis: "Saturday mornings are something that everyone should experience. They have a zydeco band you'll get like 60 people dancing, bumping into your table and having a great time. Have the etoufée, bloody Mary, and the oreille de cochon, which is boudin that they dip in beignet dough and fry."

Football: 30 players on 10-hour drinking spree, all dressed in army fatigues.. weren't they just asking for trouble?; FOWLER: BRAND NEW CLUB, BUT THE SAME OLD STORY.
Byline: Ian EDWARDSDAVID O'LEARY read the riot act to his Leeds stars just hours before the latest embarrassing let-down by his players.
Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale confirmed last night that O'Leary issued a special plea before the squad's fancy dress party.
O'Leary left the 30-strong members of the players' Christmas bash in no doubt as to their responsibilities to the club - before they set off in army uniforms on a city centre pub crawl.
With faces painted and toy guns in their hands, Robbie Fowler and his new team-mates began a 10-hour drinking session which ended up in a police interview room.
Even the presence of five security guards from the Elland Road staff to monitor their pub-crawl was not able to prevent the embarrassment.
Fowler may well have been the victim of an unscrupulous sting involving a freelance photographer and a taxi driver, and Leeds may well be outraged at their player being arrested for what appears little reason.
Nevertheless, Fowler's arrest has dealt another serious blow to Leeds United's public image.
O'Leary made a special plea for the players to be on their best behaviour and although he is understood to be happy that Fowler was not guilty of any wrongdoing, he is resigned to seeing another black mark chalked down against his club.
"There is no doubt that the manager made it perfectly clear to the whole squad that they have a responsibility to behave correctly," said a club spokesman.
Fowler's latest brush with the law - just two weeks after escaping his 'goldfish bowl' existence on Merseyside - is a huge blow to the striker.
He has told friends that he is upset at this latest flashpoint, particularly because he feels he has done nothing wrong, and yet his move to Leeds has now been tainted by the incident.
The player was hoping to leave behind the controversy that seemed to follow him around Merseyside, and earned him a reputation as a controversial figure.
Since he exploded on to the scene as the youngest player to score 100 goals for Liverpool, he has been no stranger to headlines for the wrong reasons.
Two attacks in Liverpool apart, he has also been in hot water for making gestures to Graeme Le Saux and taunting Everton fans with a line-sniffing routine.
Fowler was also angered recently when a newspaper tried to suggest he had been out late-night drinking while on England duty, when, in fact, he had been in a restaurant until 9pm having a meal. Leeds chairman Peter Ridsdale has indicated that he is fully aware of Fowler's innocence, and that no action will be taken by the club against the player.
But the former Anfield hero must be praying that this is not the cue for another series of incidents, particularly as he is determined to make a fresh start at Elland Road.
The incident is also a huge embarrassment for O'Leary. He told his players that if they want the "flash lifestyles and flash cars of a professional footballer," they have to accept the responsibilities that go with it.
Leeds players argue that they have a right to a private life away from the football pitch and that cannot be denied.
But was it really sensible for them to be out in fancy dress, especially in army uniforms given the sensitive nature of the war in the Middle East? And was it really a good idea to draw attention to themselves in such an obvious way when they have a responsibility to Leeds United Football Club?
Would it not have been more sensible for them to hire a private function room and party amongst themselves? Or even use the Sutra bar that Rio Ferdinand part-owns?
David O'Leary will be asking those same questions today.

Set for vote as soon as August, the proposed plan includes up to 117 miles of new, high-capacity transit, such as light rail, bus rapid transit or streetcars. About $2.4 billion would help maintain major city streets while adding new bicycle lanes and street lights.
Rich Davey said plans for a $2.2 billion commuter rail extension and fixing the system without raising new taxes will be difficult.
As part of the agreement, MasterPass, MasterCard's secure digital payment service, will be integrated with Cubic's NextWave ticketing and journey planning app.
Some members said they want to shift the emphasis of the search to focus on a fresh batch of candidates whose skills are more suited to fixing problems that have come to light in the transit system in recent months.
The reduced ORCA LIFT fare will be available to riders earning at or below 200% of the federal poverty level, about $23,340 annually for an individual or $47,700 for a family of four.

With a new hit record and a net worth said to be in the hundreds of millions, Lionel Richie probably won't be staying up all night long worrying about an unpaid tax bill of just over a million bucks.
TMZ.com reported the IRS has filed a lien of $1.1 million – $1,130,609.11 to be exact — against the singer. There's no word yet on the alleged matter from Richie's reps.
Richie's country music collaboration Tuskegee recently reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, his best debut since 1986. It sold 199 thousand copies in its first week of release.

The p21-activated kinase PAK is targeted to focal complexes (FCs) through interactions with the SH3 domains of the PAK-interacting exchange factor PIX and Nck. PIX is a Rac GTP exchange factor that also binds the G-protein-coupled receptor kinase-interacting protein known as GIT1. Overexpression of GIT1 in fibroblasts or epithelial cells causes a loss of paxillin from FCs and stimulates cell motility. This is due to the direct interaction of a C-terminal 125-residue domain of GIT1 with paxillin, under the regulation of PIX. In its activated state, GIT1 can promote FC disassembly independent of actin-myosin contractile events. Additionally, GIT directly couples to a key component of FCs, focal adhesion kinase (FAK), via a conserved Spa2 homology domain. We propose that GIT1 and FAK cooperate to promote motility both by directly regulating focal complex dynamics and by the activation of Rac.

It's the fault of the system that don't give a man the fruit of his labor ... The only man that gets anything out of capitalism is a crook, an' he gets to be a millionaire in short order ...

The warmer weather is upon us, and with it comes quite possibly one of its only drawbacks: BUGS. While some bugs are fun for kids to catch and are pretty to look at, like fireflies and ladybugs, others are just down-right nuisances, especially mosquitoes and ticks. So what's the best way to keep these critters away without harming your family's health? It's not with that can of DEET-laden bug spray.
According to Duke University Medical Center pharmacologist Mohammed Abou Donia, DEET should never be used on an infant because "their skin is too thin to provide an adequate barrier against absorption, and their systems cannot metabolize drugs and chemicals as well as an older child or an adult." Abou Donia further warns that DEET-containing products should never be used with medications even something as common as an antihistamine because of the risk of toxic and long-term side effects, like destruction of brain cells, muscle coordination, memory loss, and joint pain. YIKES!
So skip the chemicals this season and try making one of these very simple, natural, and safe bug repellents. All you need is a kitchen, a few ingredients from the store, and a couple of minutes to make these oh-so easy bugs-be-gone potions. I even included a few plants to add to your yard that help keep the bugs at bay and your family
Don't have the time (every moment is precious!) to make your own chemical-free bug repellent, but still want to keep DEET away from the little ones? Not to worry, check out these safer alternatives that you can pick up ready-for-use at the store or online.

Introducing leggings. You'll never run out of inspiration.
We went to take photos of the tulips on Queen Elizabeth Drive. The tulips are in full bloom.
Many were there to take pictures. I am sorry for the tulip festival because I think like many, that when the festival starts, there will be no tulips left, due to the early spring we have this year.
The Canadian Tulip Festival this year is from the 7th of May to the 24th.
Location: Queen Elizabeth Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Adiponectin is an adipocytokine suggested to have a hepatoprotective effect. To date, little information is available in the literature regarding changes in serum adiponectin levels in cirrhosis and cholestasis and the associated metabolic disturbances. In order to elucidate the role of adiponectin in chronic liver disease our aim was to determine serum adiponectin in patients with different grades of cirrhosis and cholestasis and to correlate it with markers of liver injury, inflammation and cholestasis. We also aimed to correlate adiponectin with markers of metabolic syndrome such as body mass index and insulin resistance.
Forty patients with cirrhosis; 30 patients with cirrhosis and cholestasis; and 20 matched controls were studied. They were subjected to clinical assessment, laboratory investigations: serum bilirubin, ALT, AST, alkaline phosphatase, GGT, albumin, C-reactive protein, prothrombin activity, fasting blood sugar, insulin. HOMA index was calculated. Abdominal ultrasonography and upper GI endoscopy were performed.
Adiponectin was elevated in patients with cirrhosis and cirrhosis/cholestasis and was significantly higher in Child A and B. Adiponectin showed correlation with liver cell injury, marker of inflammation, synthetic liver function and markers of cholestasis. Adiponectin did not correlate with complications of cirrhosis as ascites and esophageal varices nor did it correlate with BMI or HOMA.
Adiponectin is elevated in cirrhosis and shows correlation with degree of hepatocellular injury and cholestasis. Finally, adiponectin levels in cirrhosis do not correlate with parameters of body composition or metabolism but exclusively with reduced liver function.
