Recruiting, retention key to bucking federal retirement trends
A reverse retirement wave is challenging chief human capital officers to rethink how they plan their workforce in FY 2020 and beyond. Two agencies -- one large, one medium -- described how to find success in one of the most important parts of that planning process: Building and maintaining a fluid pipeline of incoming and outgoing career employees.

Low morale? You're not alone, new federal survey shows
Sequestration? Furloughs? Pay freeze? Fed bashing? Poor leadership? The list of morale killers goes on and on. A new Federal News Radio survey on employee morale and leadership -- part of our special report, Leaders in Federal Service -- shows just how bad people are feeling in the federal workforce.

HReinvented: NRC aims to stay on top as 'best place to work'
Over the last several years, one federal agency has ranked highest in government-wide employee surveys as the "best place to work in the federal government": the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in Rockville, Md. But in an era where OPM plans to reform the hiring and management of federal workers, how does NRC plan to stay at the top of its game as an "employer of choice"? Federal News Radio's Max Cacas continues our week-long series, HReinvented.

January 12, 2014: Our first podcast of the Winter 2014 sessions kicks off with a wrap-up of 2013 pop culture events including the Duck Dynasty controversy. We also look ahead to the upcoming season of American Idol that we hope will be radically different from the slow motion trainwreck that was Season 12.
December 18, 2013: On this episode, we have a pop culture podcast where we discuss the latest rumors concerning singer Adam Lambert and the legendary band Queen. What new developments have there been? Will Lambert and Queen continue to work together? Will they take the next step and record new material together? How does the panel think Queen fans would react? It's all here in our final podcast for 2013!
November 28, 2013: For week 11, Dancing with the Stars gives us a two-night finale as the four remaining celebrities – Bill Engval, Jack Osbourne, Corbin Bleu, and Amber Reilly – try to dance their way to mirrorball glory.

October 23, 2013: Dancing with the Stars week 6 brings us a new gimmick –The Switch-Up Challenge. How well did it go over with our panelists?

October 16, 2013: The first shocker of this cycle of Dancing with the Stars was on Episode 5 discussed in this podcast. Mark Ballas and Christina Millian, after receiving the first 10 of the season and being tied for highest judges' score of the night, were voted off as a result of low fan turnout for them. Is this season's new voting procedure needlessly confusing people and resulting in lower than expected fan voting? Also, who does the panel predict will go home in the next episode?
November 13, 2013: Week 9 on Dancing with the Stars brings us the Trio Challenge where each couple gets to invite another pro to dance with them. This quarter-finals episode brings another surprise elimination as early favorite Elizabeth Berkely Lauren is sent packing.

The answers await you in this riveting podcast!

This city never seems more true to its Spanish, American Indian, and Anglo heritage than in the chilly heart of December. Each year, the central plaza in front of the Palace of the Governors -- a Spanish Colonial landmark -- is decorated with thousands of farolitos, candles set in sand inside paper bags, while electric versions outline the roofs of the long open porches fronting the square. On the plaza, the trees are covered with multicolored lights. And for the annual tree-lighting the Friday after Thanksgiving, Santa Claus arrives in a vintage fire engine.
To this crazy quilt of old and new comes a far older Spanish tradition. On December 15, the city turns off all the streetlights downtown, and Las Posadas -- a procession led by a man and a woman portraying Mary and Joseph -- progresses by candlelight through alleys lined with farolitos. As a band plays mandolins and sings Spanish carols, the couple reach the central plaza and make their way around it, asking for shelter. They are turned away everywhere until they reach the Palace of the Governors. There, upon Mary and Joseph's arrival, the doors swing open, and the courtyard becomes a setting for music, celebrating, and bonfires called luminarias, which represent the visit of the Bethlehem shepherds.

OPEN DAILY 7:30am - 9:30pm
Black Earth Meats are local but they are not a conscientious business and the city of Black Earth has had trouble with them. I'd like Willy Street to use some of the other local area farmers.
Black Earth Meats expanded their abatoir (killing floor) at the downtown Black Earth location. This caused problems when animals were not properly controlled and were disrupting town residents (including children). The city tried to resolve the problem through dialogue but I understand that the owner insisted on litigation. I know people on both sides of the controversy. It is a shame that it came to this.
Hi Jane,
I'm the Director of Cooperative Services. Megan Minnick, our Purchasing Director has responded to your comment, and I've posted below:
"Hi Jane, thanks for the comment! I am aware of the issues around Black Earth Meats and their dispute with the Village of Black Earth, however, we have found their meat to be over a very high quality, and we have many Owners who purchase their meats regularly and value that particular brand. Also, supplies of local, organic, grassfed, and natural meat can be quite tight at times, so we've found it necessary to keep all options open.
If you prefer not to purchase meat from Black Earth, we have many other options available! For beef, we regularly carry grassfed cuts from Organic Meadows (a cooperative of Wisconsin farmers), and also "Willy Grassfed Beef", which comes from Scenic Heights farm near Dodgeville and is raised using organic methods. For pork, we regularly carry Willow Creek Farm product, which is local from Sauk City. Lastly, for lamb we try to keep product from Pinn-Oak Ridge Farms (in Delavan) in stock as much as possible. I hope this helps answer your concern. If there are other local farms that raise quality meats and you think may be interested in selling wholesale to us, please don't hesitate to send me their names and I'll follow up."
Please be more specific: Why is Black Earth Meats not conscientious (list examples)? What specific "troubles" has the city had with this buisness?
You're asking the Coop to switch suppliers without offering any evidence of wrongdoing or impropriety. Seems to me you have to provide something more than just an unsubstantiated accusation. Your accustation may indeed have merit but no one can substantiate impropriety based on what you have written.

Bear Creek Prairie in Columbia, Missouri

landscape design
|University of Missouri--Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research
|Bear Creek Prairie is a proposed conservation development in Columbia, Missouri whose vision statement is "to develop a residential community that is environmentally responsible, pedestrian friendly, encourages community interaction and is a model for sustainable land use development". The well-accepted definition of sustainability is meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their own. The fact that there are countless contributions people can make towards sustainability is very exciting to me and finding my place within the movement landed in design. I have been researching how to design the common area in Phase One of the development plan. There are an infinite number of contributions that can be made to design a site that manages storm water well, is beautiful for people so that they enjoy the space, is nourishing for wildlife, and is a place for children to play. The three areas of contribution I chose to focus on are techniques to manage storm water, landscaping with conservation and nurturing in mind, and a play structure for the children of the neighborhood. The discerning quality of the Bear Creek Prairie site was the discovery of a prairie and the diversity it possessed. At the time of European settlement 15,000,000 acres of Missouri was prairie. Today, fewer than 90,000 acres remain. For the Bear Creek Prairie developers, the preservation of the prairie found on the site is the most important consideration towards the development of the property. Further study of prairie plants shows that their deep root systems are also very valuable as a tool for managing storm water. Wet mesic prairie plants are necessary components of raingardens, because of their ability to absorb and cleanse storm water before it percolates to the water table. Including a play structure, into the design of my landscape, was necessary for the children of the neighborhood. I also studied the use of native plants and all vegetation, identified to be used in my design, is native to Missouri and in some cases have already been identified at the site. Overall, I believe my design addresses the variety of concerns one has to deal with when designing for an urban environment. In an urban environment we must not only seek to meet the diversity of needs for human beings, in all stages of life and culture, but also the needs of the environment within which we choose to inhabit.

A string of Premier League clubs are tracking Paraguayan forward Nelson Cuevas, skysports.com reports.
The 27-year-old is coming out-of-contract at Club America of Mexico and he is lining up a free transfer to England when the transfer window opens in January.
Portsmouth's Harry Redknapp has already expressed an interest and during a recent visit to Britain Cuevas is believed to have held talks with Pompey.
Derby, Aston Villa and Blackburn are amongst those understood to be interested.
Cuevas' international team-mate Roque Santa Cruz has shone at Blackburn since moving from Bayern Munich in the summer and he is believed to have encouraged his club to make a move for his fellow countryman.
Cuevas, who would qualify for a work permit to play in the Premier League, is set to consider his options over the next month with a view to a move in January.

Juan Martinez | July 27, 2012 | Comments
This year, several major brands stirred up a little controversy by attempting to use the positivity and energy surrounding the events to reinvent their global images.
Even though we're only five months past the big game, the typical consumer probably can't recall more than one or two 2012 Super Bowl spots. That's because these brief 30-second intervals, which resonate so powerfully for everyone in the advertising industry, are but fleeting moments to avid football fans and Super Bowl party-crashers. Conversely, the 2012 Olympics represent a two-and-a-half-week window to captivate and capture the global consumer. With a plethora of powerful and positive themes surrounding the Games - hard work, teamwork, fair play, healthy living, global unity, and peace, among others - the 17 days of Olympic competition are the ideal time for brands to build (or rebuild) their global reputations and consumer affinity.
In fact, since the inception of the modern Games in 1896, brands have leveraged the event as an advertising opportunity, according to Olympic.org. During the Antwerp Games in 1920, companies were given permission to incorporate corporate advertising in the Olympic Games program. By the Tokyo Games in 1964, 250 companies had forged marketing relationships with the Olympic Games, including tobacco sponsorships, which generated more than $1 million through the Olympia cigarette brand (more on possible ill-thought sponsorships later). During the 1994 Games in Lillehammer, more than $500 million was generated from broadcast and marketing programs.
With the rise of social media and content marketing, today's Olympic marketing strategies enable brands to align themselves with the Games in a way that connects them directly to consumers in whatever way they deem most appropriate. This year, several major brands stirred up a little controversy by attempting to use the positivity and energy surrounding the events to reinvent their global images.
For Coca-Cola, an Olympic partner since the 1928 Amsterdam Games, the 2012 Games represent an opportunity to position itself as an advocate of healthy lifestyles. Coca-Cola's "8-Pack" marketing campaign spotlights eight Olympic athletes who will serve as "Ambassadors of Active Living." The campaign will feature spots that detail each athlete's personal story of athletic triumph and will be supplemented by customized prize packs designed to encourage health and physical activity. It will run alongside Coca-Cola's "Move to the Beat" campaign, which features a desktop app that creates individualized beats for consumers based on their music and sports interests as well as an hour-long documentary about British producer Mark Ronson's creation of an Olympic anthem.
McDonald's will also leverage the 2012 Games to position itself as a champion of well-being. In addition to creating the world's largest McDonald's restaurant on-site, the fast-food chain will serve Happy Meals that feature healthy options and it will use fresh ingredients from local farmers in Britain and Ireland in all of its food. In order to promote sustainability, McDonald's will repurpose each of the restaurant's four physical Olympic locations in its other U.K. restaurants after the Games have ended. In addition to its move toward healthy living, McDonald's will send guerilla film crews to the Games to document fan reactions, and the company will enable people to upload their own videos and photographs to Facebook, with some of the content to be repurposed to chronicle the Games after their conclusion.
Both the Coca-Cola and McDonald's campaigns have generated a fair share of backlash because of perceived hypocrisy on behalf of the sponsors. International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge recently admitted that the IOC questioned whether Coca-Cola and McDonald's and their unhealthy products should be Olympic sponsors. Despite the outcries (whether you perceive them to be reasonable or not), the campaigns shrewdly reflect what the Olympic Games are all about: turning hard work and healthy living into a chance to reinvent oneself.
BMW will use the Olympics Games as an opportunity to position itself as a leading technology manufacturer. The company has collaborated with U.S. Olympic Committee sports scientists to develop financial and performance technology assistance to help long jumpers track vertical and horizontal velocity and jump angle based on sensory feedback, according to an April Wall Street Journal report. The sponsorship drew some ire from the media recently. The Guardian claimed BMW was hypocritical in "lobbying to water down European plans to improve the fuel efficiency of cars at the same time as trumpeting its green credentials," after the automaker unveiled the 4,000 green cars it produced for transportation during the London 2012 Games. An internal BMW review obtained by The Guardian outlines the company's "opposition to European commission proposals for a tougher limit on carbon emissions."
Like the Coca-Cola and McDonald's campaigns, BMW's has generated enough buzz to build up to and last well beyond the 2012 Games. Whether or not one believes the brand's content, sponsorship, or products to be hypocritical, BMW has produced quality marketing materials and sponsorship products that have become the focal points of the overall Olympic marketing dialogue. If you disagree, just think about the last time you read an article that referenced BMW as anything other than an automaker, let alone a technology manufacturer.
Not every brand chose to reinvent itself (and inadvertently [or intentionally] drum up controversy). Instead of giving itself a facelift, Procter & Gamble (P&G) is changing the way Olympic marketing is done. While the majority of brands have historically chosen to focus on the stars of the Games - the athletes themselves - P&G will feature the athletes' moms. The campaign's branded content tells the story of several Olympic mothers and what each had to overcome to raise her child prodigy. The campaign hits P&G's wheelhouse, the middle-aged mom consumer, while acknowledging and aligning itself with the power of Olympic competition - a tried-and-true (and uncontroversial) method with its own P&G-inspired twist.

text: He may not want his balance sheet picked over in court, but Donald Trump still wants the world to know he's a legitimate billionaire. Responding to disparaging claims from Rosie O'Donnell and New York Times reporter Tim O'Brien, the real-estate baron has given BusinessWeek a glimpse at documents that reveal his true net worth—give or take a few hundred million bucks. The documents provided by Allen Weisselberg, Trump's chief financial officer, put the size of his fortune at $4.1 billion ($4.8 billion in assets, $700 million in liabilities.) Of course, that's assuming you believe Trump's valuations of his own properties—not to mention his claim that the Trump name is "the hottest brand on the planet."

A bill was unveiled by Democrats this week in Congress to require rebates from drugmakers on prescription treatments used by beneficiaries of both Medicare Part D and Medicaid. Drugmakers say the plan would weaken Part D and amounts to "mandatory government price controls ... cleverly disguised as 'rebates.'" The measure "would bring higher premiums and co-pays, more restricted access to medicines for seniors and Americans with disabilities, and diminished research on the next generation of medicines," PhRMA Senior Vice President Matthew Bennett said.

Name of creator
Kennedy, Fred
Biographical history
Fred Kennedy, 1900-1988, was a Calgary Herald employee for 30 years. He was born in Dundee, Scotland and came to Canada with his family in 1912. He attended journalism school in New York City, USA; worked for the Calgary News Telegram and the Albertan; and then toured with a rodeo company as publicity director. In 1927 he began his career with the Calgary Herald and held various positions: police reporter, city editor, sports editor, agriculture editor and Alberta legislative correspondent. His stories on the Social Credit government were widely quoted and copied, and so angered Premier William Aberhart that Kennedy was frequently banned from press conferences. Despite the ban Kennedy managed to break important stories through his contacts with Aberhart's supporters and advisors. In 1957 Kennedy became publicity director for the Calgary Stampede, and in 1965 he began a 14-year column with the Albertan. He wrote his memoirs in Alberta Was My Beat: Memoirs of a Western Newspaperman / Fred Kennedy. - Calgary : The Albertan, 1975. He married Eugenie O'Neill in 1934 and they had three children. He owned, trained and bred racehorses, and was inducted into the Canadian Rodeo Hall of Fame in 1985.
Name of creator
Aberhart, William (1878-1943)
Biographical history
William "Bible Bill" Aberhart, 1878-1943, was born in Ontario. He studied at the Hamilton Normal School and was granted his BA from Queen's University in 1911. In 1902 he married Janet Jessie Flatt, 1878-1966, and they had two children, Ola (MacNutt), 1906-2000, and Khona (Cooper), 1904-2000. In 1910 they moved to Calgary, Alberta and Aberhart became a high school principal. He was principal of Crescent Heights High School, 1915-1935. He ran popular bible classes, and in 1925 began his Sunday afternoon radio broadcasts, called the "Back to the Bible Hour". In 1927 he opened the Calgary Prophetic Bible Institute, and two years later founded the Bible Institute Baptist Church. In 1932 he became interested in the monetary ideas of Major C.H. Douglas, who espoused state supervision of credit and dividend payments to citizens. He founded the Social Credit League, and in 1935 became the premier of Alberta when Social Credit swept the United Farmers of Alberta (UFA) government from power. The government was unable to implement Aberhart's proposed reforms because the legislation was disallowed by the federal government. Aberhart died in office. For further information see Bible Bill / David R. Elliott and Iris Miller. - Edmonton : Reidmore Books, 1987.

MERIDIAN -- This is the seventh year of 'Live for 175,' a campaign by 103.5 KISS FM to raise awareness for child abuse. DJ Kekeluv kicked off the event Friday morning, and says he won't sleep for one week.
People on bicycles have to pedal to keep the station on the air. They're cycling to break the cycle of child abuse. After seven years of doing this, Kekeluv says it's still a struggle to stay awake for days on end.
My body clock has changed over the past couple years, where I do mornings now so I'm used to getting up in the morning and going to bed, said Kekeluv. I'm on a clock, so last night I wanted to go to bed and my body was trying to shut down on me, so I don't know how you really prepare.
He said it's mostly mental but he gets through it with the help of listeners and volunteers.
A lot of it's just the drive of the people that are riding on the bike and the people that are calling the radio station, said Kekeluv.
He's also motivated by the cause -- raising awareness about child abuse.
I struggle really hard with talking about it because these stories are life-changing, life-altering for me, he said. A little girl came in today and was telling me that because of what she heard on the radio she finally confronted her mom and slipped her mom a note and said, 'this is happening' and it got her out of harm's way.
Angela Manning, Mrs. City of Trees, has a very personal connection to the cause.
I've had brothers that have been abused, I've been abused, and I don't want any other children to go through it, said Manning.
Manning said this event is empowering, and helps bring the cause to light.
It's almost a stigma, Manning said. Maybe everybody thinks everybody's going through it and it's not that big of a deal, but it is. People are dying over it, losing themselves.
I talk to so many kids and I just vowed to do something, said Kekeluv. I think it's the first time that you realize that there are other kids out there like that and not just kids, we're trying to break that cycle young, so that when they get older they will have been able to stop it.
Live for 175 will be on the corner of Eagle and Fairview until next Friday. If you would like to cycle to break the cycle of child abuse, stop on by or call 697-9191 to sign up for a specific time.

Choose you this day whom you will serve, YHWH or Satan, LIFE or utter DESTRUCTION, says YHWH! And if you choose unwisely, destruction comes quickly O' Babylon. Babylon WILL fall in most of your lifetimes.
Do you not enjoy the freedoms I have blessed you with, the green grass, trees, the blue sky, the oceans, the purple mountains majesty? Do you desire to continue to enjoy what I have blessed you with from my infinite bounty? If you do, then I suggest you no longer be complacent regarding my sacred commandments, and show forth fruit of true repentance, or verily, verily I say unto you America, you shall surely fall, and not by the hand of Satan, but by me, says YHWH.

Grandage & Hollander Offer Sheffield Don Juan
Editorial Staff • West End • 4 Sep 2001
Don Juan was written in 1665, whilst Moliere's Tartuffe was still banned by Paris theatres. A widely reworked character for the stage, Don Juan defies convention and morality whilst ignoring all warnings to mend his sinful ways. He intimidates family and servants before turning his attentions on an abandoned wife, whose saintly demeanour provokes him to even greater lust.
Tom Hollander has previously appeared in Tartuffe, and his other stage credits include The Government Inspector (Almeida Theatre). His began his acting career with the Cambridge Footlights troupe, before making his way in various 'baddies' roles on stage. Conversely, his film works have included the romantic dramas Martha Meet Frank, Daniel and Laurence and Ben Elton's Maybe Baby.
Hollander's co-stars include Lucy Briers - daughter of Richard Briers, with whom she appeared on stage in Simon Day's Spike. She also played Mary Bennet in the screen adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Other cast members include Robert East, Anthony O'Donnell and Gideon Turner.
Director Michael Grandage is Associate director at the Crucible. He has recently won critical acclaim and numerous awards, including several Oliviers, for his productions of Merrily We Roll Along and Passion Play at the Donmar Warehouse as well as the Sheffield Crucible/Lyric Hammersmith co-production of As You Like It. In March 2002 he will direct Kenneth Branagh in a Crucible offering of Shakespeare's Richard III.
The French writer Jean-Baptiste Poquelin changed his name to Moliere to spare his parents' shame at having an actor son. He opened his theatre career on stage, but later began writing full-scale works for performance. French classical comedy was changed considerably by his plays such as The Misanthrope, The Miser and The School For Husbands, and dramatists worldwide have cited him as an influence.
Don Juan is designed by Christopher Oram, with lighting from Hartley TA Kemp and music by Julian Philips. The translation is courtesy of Simon Nye, whose TV writing credits include Men Behaving Badly and The Savages.

The partitioning of iron between Mg-rich perovskite (Pv) and ferropericlase (Fp) was investigated for a pyrolitic bulk composition over a wide range of simulated lower-mantle pressures and temperatures from 28 to 114 GPa and from 1,900 to 2,300 K, in a laser-heated diamond anvil cell (DAC). The recovered DAC samples are chemically homogeneous, indicating a relatively small temperature gradient during laser heating. The chemical compositions of coexisting Pv, Fp, and Ca-rich perovskite (CaPv) were determined by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) using an EDS instrument attached to a transmission electron microscope. Our results demonstrate that at pressures above 90 GPa, Pv becomes more Fe-rich with increasing pressure, which is likely due to the effects of high-spin to low-spin crossover of Fe3+ in Pv. We highlight that such a change in Fe–Mg partitioning between Pv and Fp should have a strong influence on the physical properties of the deep lower mantle.

Gear Question
Jamey Stanley
I am wanting to get a finger board but I...
I am wanting to get a finger board but I don't have room to put it in my house. Can it be left outside, or will the elements damage it? And/Or should I fabricate some form of quick attachment so i can put it up and take it down as needed?
Jim Therrien
If it's not exposed to direct sunlight most of the time I think you would be fine. I have a friend with an outdoor "climbing wall" and the holds are probably the same material, and its fine. The sun might fade the color and speed up deterioration of the plastic. As far as some sort of quick attachment, that would be cool. But it might cut down on how often you use it... And I can only imagine having to take it down in the winter?

NY, 6 Other States Will Sue Over Drilling Methane
Tuesday, December 11, 2012
New York and six other states say they plan to sue the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over methane emissions from oil and gas drilling.
Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman claims in a release Tuesday that the EPA is violating the Clean Air Act by failing to address the emissions. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. Other major sources come from landfills and livestock.
Howard Feldman, a spokesman for the American Petroleum Institute, says the lawsuit "makes no sense" since EPA has already passed rules on methane emissions.
Federal climate researchers say they haven't yet seen signs that increased drilling is affecting global methane levels, but they're worried about the threat.
Schneiderman says Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont joined in sending a required 60-day notice to EPA.

AKON feat. LIL WAYNE
"I'm So Paid"
Lost your job? Drowning in credit-card debt? Reduced to frying up road kill for dinner? Well, Akon's got a heartwarming message to share in this rough economic climate: He could buy and sell you several thousand times over, he retains a team of rooftop snipers as part of his security detail, and he's got a sound system that "could knock your wall off." (Left unsaid: He's had his voice box surgically replaced with an Autotune device.) Feel better? Also, in other news, Weezy's hella loaded, too—and almighty: "Snap my fingers, disappear from the precinct."
Nothing profound here, just a two-minute, globular-synth interlude that suggests A) those psychedelic screensavers that came with the Macintosh I had back in college and B) Tortoise's ultra-mannered "Madison Area"/"Madison Ave" one-two punch. Concise!
"Taivaassa On Loivemmat Mäet"
This is one of those times where I've gotta kick myself for not realizing before now that a great band's been laying brilliance down for years without my knowledge. In a nutshell: Blast Animal Collective, Bird Show, and Avarus albums on separate stereos in the same room while tripping on mushrooms, and the effect will probably be similar. Finland: awesome, apparently.
"Have a Nice Day"
Chicago softies play gentle country rock, are worried about the environment, see tumbleweeds everywhere they turn, need a bit more iron in their diets.
Random thoughts on the latest from Billy Pumpkin: A) This is sort of an intermediate-level Guitar Hero song, isn't it? For players just graduating from novice status. B) Unlike most of last year's blah Zeitgeist, this actually sounds appropriately Pumpkin-y, chorus wooooooooos aside. C) The fiery hurtling guitar parts would totally work as intro music for a Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling revival, which I'm betting was the idea. D) It's all prologue, no core or denouement, yeah? A handful of riffs fashioned into a three-and-a-half-minute rock blast. Seriously, folks: Transformers 2 soundtrack crud.

The very first photos have been added of Miss McGowan attending the 20th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party, held at the City of West Hollywood Park tonight, Sunday (February 26), in Beverly Hills. Rose is rocking a gorgeous Paule Ka dress and Sergio Rossi heels. She accessorised with David Webb jewels and an Edie Parker clutch. A sensationally beautiful look from Rose!
– Events in 2012: 20th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party
Fans have the chance to re-visit Rose McGowan's star-making turn as Amy Blue in The Doom Generation as the film is finally going to be released on R2 DVD in Britain on March 26, 2012. This release is packed with exciting extras, including a featurette titled My Generation, interview with director Gregg Araki and a commentary with Araki, McGowan, James Duval and Johnathon Schaech. The DVD is available for pre-order over at Amazon.
In honour of these exciting news, I've updated the gallery with a nice batch of stills from The Doom Generation. Special thanks goes out to our friend Dale for contributing many of these. Enjoy!
– The Doom Generation: Production Stills
From Vogue to Rolling Stone to Maxim to Modern Dog, Rose McGowan has been photographed by a number of hugely talented photographers for an impressive variety of magazines in these past five years. We took on the challenge of picking out our five favorite photoshoots between these years. We believe that these photoshoots represent the diversity of not only Rose's magazine coverage but also just how photogenic and versatile she is in front of the camera.
Modern Dog (2011)
Contributor Magazine (2010)
Check out the latest edition of Suitcase Confessions, which sees Rose McGowan discuss her travel secrets and inspiration. Rose also shares some very exciting news; that she is just about to jet off to New Orleans to direct her very first short film! "I'm super thrilled to be able to step behind the camera," she says. Can't wait to learn more about Rose's directorial debut!
Rose is not only loved for her talent and beauty but also for her whip-smart personality. Here are just a couple of our select favorite quotes from Miss McGowan between the years 2007 and 2012, as part of our fifth year anniversary celebrations.
• "Everyone's got a story; I've just got a lot of chapters." – Genlux – Holiday 2011
• "I took two years off because of a major illness in the family. So many people get caught up in a panic about taking time off, worried they'll be forgotten about. The reality is, this is my one life. I stick to my convictions, for better or worse." – Modern Dog – Summer 2011
• "From a really young age, I was into female empowerment and supporting the underdog. Right now, I'm into female vengeance." – Fox News, 2008
• "I love anybody who's dedicated to anything and lets their weirdo flag fly. I'm all for it." – Entertainment Weekly, 2008
• "I'm a pretty swell gal. I don't mean any harm to anybody. Generally speaking, for a melancholy person, I'm pretty happy." – Blackbook – April/May 2007

What a nice surprise to find a picture of my store, trend 440, featured on the front page of Sunday's Monroe News. Nov. 26 was small business Saturday, a day when America was encouraged to come together to celebrate the Shop Small Movement and support small businesses. The day turned out to be a wonderful success for trend 440. There was a steady flow of customers from open to close.
I felt the need to express my gratitude to all my valued customers/friends who support me and all the other unique, independently owned, specialty businesses in Monroe. Without them we do not exist. We have so much to offer: great customer service, unique products, a warm hello and a sincere thank you. When people support us they are supporting the community by making Monroe a great place to live, visit, eat and shop.
A special thank you to The Monroe Evening News for covering the Shop Small Movement and to American Express for the brilliant idea of shop small and all of the accompanying publicity. But most of all thanks to everyone who supports local business.

Best Stack for Recomp?
Im trying to figure out a good stack for a recomp (non inject). Not looking to touch Epi really btw. This wont happen for a long time, Im planning on running an inject cycle soon.
Was Thinking...
H-Drol 75/100/100/100/100/100
Winny 00/00/50/50/50/50
Clen (last 2 weeks) ? as long as BP is too bad, etc.
Obviously there will be lots of support supplements, etc.
I was thinking the SD in the beginning will give you some weight if you eat like bulking, while the next 4 weeks you drop calories to maintenance and you could lean out and maybe put on another few lbs of muscle.

A young Red Boiling Springs man was seriously injured in a car vs. tree crash on Monday afternoon. Eddie Alexander, age 19, was driving his 1994 Ford F-150 east on Winklers Road when the accident occurred.
Trooper Tracy Donoho, who took the report, said that Alexander lost control of the vehicle and crossed the center line, driving through a driveway and yard to strike a tree at 436 Winklers Lane. The vehicle struck the tree with force, swinging around on impact and coming to rest facing the opposite way of entry into the yard.
First responders thought that Alexander had been ejected, because he was found on the ground near the driver's side of the car, but it was later ascertained that he was probably not. Donoho said that Alexander was conscious, but had trouble communicating with emergency responders.
Air Evac and Life Flight both declined the call for weather reasons, so Alexander was transported by ground to Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville.

Goat Is a Popular Gift With Britons
LONDON (AP) — It's hairy and smells and will butt you, given half a chance. But the humble goat is one of Britain's most popular Christmas presents, with several charities offering the chance to do something for others by buying one of the animals for an impoverished family in the developing world.
The Catholic Agency for Overseas Development, or Cafod, said Thursday that in the past five weeks donors paid for 13,000 of the creatures at 25 pounds (US$47, euro37) each; the beasts will go to poor families in Eritrea, Kenya and southern Sudan in Africa.
"I think people like to know where their money is going and that what they are buying will be put to good use," said spokeswoman Martha Clarke.
A hardy creature which is not fussy about what it eats, the goat provides nutritious milk, useful manure and edible offspring.
Clarke said Cafod has also sold 4,000 latrines at 15 pounds (US$27, euro22) for developing countries.
In all, Cafod has raised nearly 800,000 pounds (US$1.4 million, euro1.2 million) from its range of Christmas gifts, which also includes seeds and saplings at 10 pounds (US$18, euro15).
Oxfam said it has sold some 30,000 goats, at the same price charged by Cafod; its beasts will go to poor families in 70 countries.
"Ethical buying seems to be very popular this year," said a spokeswoman.
A third charity, Christian Aid, is also promoting goats with its "Goat For It" campaign.
"Traditionally, the British public has been less willing to fund overseas development charities, but the "goats for Africa" scheme has succeeded by tapping into the traditional national love of animals," opined "The Guardian" newspaper Thursday.
"Less of the Christmas 'bah, humbug,' more of the 'baa'," the newspaper wrote.

WATERLOO REGION — With passport fees set to rise by $33 this July, issuing offices across the country, including one in downtown Kitchener, may see longer lines as travellers stave off paying higher fees.
Canadians will likely flock to renew their passports before July 1, 2013 when the cost of a 36-page adult Canadian passport will rise from $87 to $120.
"Our survey data indicate that 53 per cent of Canadians who plan on getting a passport would apply for a five-year passport prior (to new fees coming into effect)," Passport Canada spokesperson Steve MacSween said in an emailed statement.
For the first time, applicants will have the option of applying for a ten-year passport, at a cost of $160 for Canadian residents and $260 for citizens living abroad. Many other industrialized nations have already begun issuing passports valid for ten years.
MacSween says that given a choice between lower fees and a ten-year passport, surveys conducted by the federal government suggest 80 per cent of Canadians would pay more for the privilege of having to renew their travel document half as often.
"Having both 5- and 10-year options will provide Canadians the option of choosing which will work best for them."
Lost your passport? Replacing one is free now, but after March 31, 2014 it will cost $45.
The increased fee will stop the government from losing money on passport production. A report in the Canada Gazette indicates the government lost almost $5 for every passport printed between 2008 and 2012.
The fee hike also pays for the installation of a microchip in each new passport booklet. The new "ePassports" will digitally store the basic personal information listed on the second page of each passport. The move is expected to curb fraud and counterfeiting.
Keeping fees the same would make "implementing the ePassport financially impossible," according to an announcement published Nov. 30, 2012, in the Canada Gazette.
The announcement suggests that "Canadians unsatisfied with the passport fee increase may also choose an alternative travel document," such as a NEXUS card, which enables road, rail and air travel to the United States, or an enhanced driver's license, which allows Canadians to visit America by car.
Upgrading an existing driver's license to enhanced status costs $40, while applying for a NEXUS card costs $50.
While passport fees in the United Kingdom and the United States will be lower than Canada's when fees rise, Australian and Japanese travellers will pay $40-$80 more than Canadians will for a ten-year adult passport.
Renewing a passport before fees rise will not render it obsolete once the government begins issuing ePassports on July 1, according to MacSween.
About two-thirds of all Canadians held a passport in 2012.
